8 Characteristics of True Humanity

Well hello and good day to all! This topic is another idea in the realm of spiritual philosophical thought. Based on philosophy and theology in harmony that gives us spiritual philosophy. The religious related topic here is "True Humanity." How does that apply to spirituality? Easy for a human to be a human we have souls which is the real you. Now our soul is our real selves and our spirit is the inner man. To really be a human you have to be in touch with your self (soul) and develop your spirit (spiritual) and have characteristics that are compatable with our intended nature. Our intended nature or our intended state was demonstrated by the biblical Yeshua/JC. He set the bar for humanity and was truly human. Now this is no doctrine or even a principle in the world of religion. This is just a spiritual philosophy of what true humanity is based on his character with the appliance of philosophy.

These 8 characteristics are what we should ideally want to have and resemble in everday life. They are in no particular significance.


1. Humility (humility builds character pride detriments it, where as when you are humble you are tamed and lowly to others pride you rely on other's opinion to be better than them or find yourself a person of strife who argues alot or always trying to prove others wrong and superficiality inside since pride is sometimes a inaccurate opinion of one self.) Remember the more humble you are the stronger you become (spiritually) Why? Pride rely's on others opinions or thoughts. Humility rely's on doing the right thing without effect from peoples' opinion or thoughts. That's strength! This does not mean you hurt others it means you don't rely on them for your strength.

2. Equality Treat others how you want to be treated, no better no less. It is writen not to be a respecter of persons which we should do because regardless of status,fame, and money we are all just the same black.white..yellow..we are all human and deserve equality in humanity regardless.

3. Nobility This one is truly human. In the face of horror some people can be so noble. It's defined as morally and or mentally excellant. This would mean you don't stoop to people's level at making harsh comments when they strike you you turn the other cheek again this is what the Lord taught. Nobility is something humans are most notable for in times of horror. See 9/11 how common people rushed to the scene of diaster and not away to try and save others this is just one example.

4. Integrity This is defined as adherence to moral and ethical principles. Integrity by far is the most rare quality in people of fame and fortune. The reason for this is because these people place fame and fortune above values and principles and some even compromise their character to get it. See pornography as one example. Integrity is something that is becomming more and more rare in televangelists for example as they are popping up in the news with some of the things that are morally outrageous and ethically wrong. See televangelists who commit to prostitution or clergy who molests children.

5. Companionship The word says there is no greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. A man's best friend is usually a dog because the dog is always loyal to him even to the point of death! Loyalty to your friends and complete strangers is true companionship. When someone is stranded at the side of the road you give them a ride into town. When someone is in trouble you risk your life to save them. When someone is $1 short you pay it forward. When you talk about your friends it is not gossip or hate speech it is positive and encouraging that is true companionship and being loyal to your fellow man even to the point of death.

6. Compliant One that should not be common among religious advents sadly it is. Few people have I met that are compliant with God's Laws, their parents rules, or the legal system. Most people are instead complacent instead of compliant and this is not a good state of humanity to be in folks. Complacency is commonplace in religious society this should not be! Complacency is satisfying oneself with consumerism,indulgence,etc. It is being satisfied with one's situation unaware of potential danger. This is especially true in individuals who are scholars',rabbis',preachors', and pastors'. They rationalize their works will get them into heaven or their ministry but what they need to realize is they are being spiritually complacent and should be spiritually compliant. Compliant is complying with GOD's Law and standards while not relying on it for salvation or redemption. Many people do that but there is a balance that you are compliant for the sake of obeying and rely on other factors for salvation,redeemption/forgiveness,.

7. Heroism is defined as the qualities or attributes of a hero.
A hero is a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. This quality is very popular in hollywood for puffing it up with superheros and whatnot you have all seen them. However a true hero is not a superhero. A true hero is someone who has conquered all fear of man,death,horror,pain, etc. They're only fear is fear of GOD that is a true hero. Have you ever heard of champions of faith? Take the biblical story of David he killed a Giant probably twice his size because he feared GOD and not a mere man. Remember Hercules? He was the size of a human with super strength. Remember it's not the size of the hero that matters it's the size of his GOD. Believe it or not Humility gives us great strength some people often see pride as strength but that is a lie! The reason why humility gives us great strength is because when you are humble you will do the right thing regardless of whether you are pleasing others. Pride you are concerned with other's opinions and rely's on them! So many people are fearful of man and man's action whether they have power means nothing. What matters is again who their GOD is. If their GOD is themself they are certainly no hero if others view them as a hero their strength can only be measured by others but if they're strength is in the Living GOD and they are humble they have what it takes to be a true hero.

8. Truthfulness This is one is huge! Can I say how huge! To be a true human one must be truthful! Honest, sincere, not fake or a make-believer but a true individual. A seeker of truth or a student of truth. Truthfullness is so crucial to being truly human because to be truly human one must know the truth!

I hope this has been helpful folks. What do you think 8 characteristics of humanity are? I am not saying this is set in stone there is many characteristics to humanity but I believe these are necessary to be truly human. Why 8? Well 8 is the number of the new man as Dustin said so being as out with the old and in with the new the number of 8 seems to fit.
