#2 "We're not guilty men!"

This is the next idea, which is actually the next level up in maturity of an individual who is seeking God with his whole heart. This is the realm of the accusing, pointing finger where others who have been close to us "before christianity", begin their accusing, name calling of us, because of our new found faith and beginning to walk/live by that faith. Here the individual learns the proper response to accusations which is "non response". In this situation, death and resurrection occur within the individual simultaneously. His non response shows his death or dying.

This realm of accusation means just the opposite of the accusations is true; ie, not guiltiness- "we're not guilty men!" This is not expressed verbally because to do so is to defend onesself and this we don't do. What it is, is an inward knowing. It is experience, not outward trust of words written on the pages of a book.

In this realm we learn that they who are of earth-our accusers-see the exact opposite of what is true. They actually see what is in themselves, not us, but are not aware of it. Earth in this sense, is not the spinning ball we live on but is rather a "spirit of opposition" where the one who opposes has free reign.

"And the adversary said unto him (Jesus) unto you will I give this authority all together, and their glory, because unto me it has been delivered up....." - Luke 4:6 -

In this realm, the maturing one begins to live or enter the heavenlies; ie, the Kingdom of God. He begins to experience the mind of Christ which is God's perspective, and leaves behind the realm of earth with it's judgments made by outward appearance, reason and emotion - "feel sorryism".
