a. Mutual respect
-Another way of seeing intersubjectivity in relation to respect is that by keeping an open mind
and accepting that people will always be different from one another due to their own
experiences and learned behavior, people can still get along by agreeing to respect one another
and agreeing to disagree on certain things.

b. Genuine Communication
- Intersubjectivity is a kind of relationship which considered a subject-to-subject or person-to-
person way of relating. Jurgen Habermas' Theory of Communicatice Action will inform us the
authentic form of communication which would be instrumental to the setting up of
intersubjective relationship.

c. “to be is to be with”
- Intersubjectivity has been used in social science to refer to agreement. There is
intersubjectivity between people if they agree on a given set of meanings or a definition of
the situation. Similarly, Thomas Scheff defines intersubjectivity as "the sharing of subjective
states by two or more individuals".
d. Decentering
- Decentered intersubjectivity is a key element in the process of self-understanding, whereby
the self-knowledge of emotional experience is prone to inaccuracies that develop through
an imperfect understanding of the generalized other.

e. “human living”
- Intersubjectivity in the most general sense is an experiential sharing that occurs among
subjects. ... It is seen as a term to describe the complex interpersonal and relational matrix
that human beings exist in from birth and a necessary constituent of subjective experience.

Jesus does not attract followers the way many of his ministers do today. In this

day, we are more likely to hear, “Try Jesus,” or “Come to this great church, with these

great people, this great band, and good coffee.” No church advertisements say, “Sign up

and die.” But Jesus did just that. To be sure, following Jesus, if done whole-heartedly,

will change a life for the better, but that is only a fact known by faith, especially at first.

Rather, those who chase earthly pleasures and the things of the world—status, comfort,

worldly security—particularly with a loose moral code and no fear of God, will find

themselves morally and spiritually bankrupt and dead in their sins.
