Proving the Intangible

This came to me in the midst of taking a morning shower while contemplating the articulation of a belief in the intangible…Only by following the path laid out before you by the act of believing in the intangible will you find its proof or disproof.

To further illustrate with an example, if you want to establish the truth or falsehood of Jesus Christ and all that He claims to be, then earnestly follow His steps and you will find the answer you seek along that path.

The application of this effective methodology of proof/disproof is by no means limited to just validating or invalidating the intangible beliefs associated with Jesus, you can use it to validate/invalidate any other intangible.

Consider the following illustration. If there are five intangible beliefs before you that claim to be the truth but only one is true and the other four false, you can employ the above prescribed methodology to find and discern the one true Way. If you happen to pick and start with one of the four false ways, you walk will eventually make you realize its falsehood and you will go back and try another until you find the true one.

Here is the dilemma of those who happen to already be on the true Way but whose path had been chosen for them by others (such as their parents) and are still immature with the process of walking the path. As they walk this path, they have doubts midway if the path is the true Way and wonder if they should stop, turn around, and go back to try the way that they would have selected had they been given the choice at the start. At the end, given enough time, they will find the true Way but they will feel that so much time had been wasted trying the other false ones.

So here is a lesson that we can all learn from the above real-life predicament; if the way that you are in seems difficult but spiritually rewarding, stay the course until you arrive at the point of determining truth or falsehood. The true Way is a difficult path with plenty of temptation to abandon midway…stay the course to the endpoint because it is only there that you will find that which your soul seeks.

I have followed my own advice and that is how I came to be where I am today with my walk in the faith…the same place where thousands of saints and earnest believers (who have followed the true Way) find themselves in.

If you are having difficulty deciding which path to try first, then I suggest observing closely the experience of others who are earnestly following each of the five and then select the one followed by followers who stay the course and keep going.

Please allow me to leave with you two statements that Jesus Christ boldly declared:
“I am the Light of the world...he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
“I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life…”
