IMMUNITY
A Bird's Eye View of a Galaxy Collision
What appears as a bird's head, leaning over to snatch up
a tasty meal, is a striking example of a galaxy collision in NGC 6745.
This is
large spiral galaxy, with its nucleus still intact, apparently peering at the smaller
passing galaxy (nearly out of the field of view at lower right), while a
bright blue beak and bright whitish-blue top feathers show the distinct
path taken during the smaller galaxy's journey. These galaxies did not
merely interact gravitationally as they passed one another, they
actually collided.
The Bird's
Head galaxy, as it is called, is actually feeding off the
elemental sustenance that resulted from the collision of one galaxy with another
galaxy, and in so doing, new stars were reproduced each having its own
gravitational sphere of influence. The depicted bright blue beak and
feathery areas are where the hottest new births took place. In the
law of returns, perhaps
one of the morals is in the old adage, "You are what you
eat". Let's continue to explore this saying, and draw from it another great mystery of
life out of death.
You are
what you eat.
Truly, Truly, of Absolute
TRUTH,
I Say unto you, unless you Eat the Flesh of the Son of Man/Adam, and
Drink His Blood, you have
No LIFE in you.
Man does not live by (earthly) bread only, but by every Word that
proceeds out of the Mouth of Yahweh God does man live. (See
Deuteronomy 8 verse 1 thru 4, and Matthew 4 verse
3 thru 4.)
But, -- has our Holy Yahweh God changed
His mind, and the Power of His Word become as the
grass of the field? Of course not!
For I AM the LORD, I change
not; therefore you sons of Jacob are not consumed. (Malachi 3 verse 6.)
And the voice said,
Cry. And he said, “What shall I cry?” All flesh is grass, and all the
goodliness thereof (flesh) is as the flower of the field: The grass withers, the
flower fades, because the Spirit of the LORD blows upon it: Surely
the people is grass (flesh). The grass withers, the flower fades, but the
Word of our God shall stand forever. (Isaiah
40 verse 6 thru 8.)
Yes, it is we that are the perishing grass of the field
that are swayed with the divisive winds of intellectual leaven that
ferments out of the mouth of the prince of death. From the Garden to
the present, it is the demonic serpent and the destroyer of faith and
souls, subtlety repeating the challenging and mocking question: "Did
the Lord God really say -------?" So the flesh
of man is swayed back and forth by every wind of doctrine. Even Balaam
understood the absolute righteousness of Yahweh God, for he prophesies:
Yahweh God is not a
man that He should lie;
neither the Son of
Man that He should repent: Has He (Yahweh
God) said, and shall
He not do it? Or has He spoken, and shall He not make it good? Behold,
I have received commandment to bless: and He has blessed and I cannot
reverse it.
(Numbers 23 verse 19 thru 20.)
The Holy Righteousness of the Eternal Yahweh God Almighty is not moved
by the vacillating grass of the field.
Please take notice of the distinctions in the green linked word for "Man",
for in Hebrew it is "Adam".
Christ Jesus is the Genetic Son of Adam/Man through
Adam's wife
named
Ishshah, which means Woman.
For Jesus/Yeshua was God's Perfect Lamb, slain even before the foundation of the world.
(See
1st Peter 1 verse 19 thru 20 and 1st Corinthians 2
verse 5 thru 8.)
But, how is it that the wild
grass that withers and fades away, has by man's edict and institutional dogma,
annulled the Lord's Holy WORD of LIFE that Yahweh God provides to the believers
IN the
Body of Christ Jesus?
The vital spiritual weapons of our warfare, are found IN the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ,
and should be integral through
out the One Body of Jesus Christ, to the pulling down of the
strongholds of sin and death, but Man's unbelief has rendered our mighty weapons
IN Yahweh God to be inert for so many. Within
all of the
church assemblies, we each love to have it our own way, and our way is the way
of the flesh. And now Yahweh God's Holy Spirit of Grace, witnessing the TRUTH of
the WORD'S of His only
Begotten Son Christ Jesus, are quenched, for the called prophets have wilted
back into their seats of comfort, and the crier for repentance, is silenced.
Contrary to the WORD of Yahweh GOD, the exclusive doctrines and traditions of men,
have created
stumbling blocks of iniquity that have diffused the power of the peoples' faith in the
WORD of our GOD. Again, without the leading of
Yahweh God's
Holy Spirit with His Living Sword of TRUTH, then Faith in the WORD of GOD is
darkened by the doctrines of disobedient men, who are taught by unbelieving pulpit teachers.
Sin with its
death never repents,
but remains stubbornly affixed in the shadows of demonic deception, for willful sin
hides itself from the healing
Light and scalpel of the
TRUTH of the WORD
of Yahweh God Almighty. The Lord Christ Jesus is the Chief Physician of our souls, and He
alone provides the antidote for our acknowledged sin through His LIFE giving
Blood of Yahweh God's New Covenant. Unbelief walks in its own
path that is the way of death; unless perchance the unbelieving fool stumbles over their own self corruption and
into the speculative
wonder of the why of it all! None of us humans are immune to sin's distorted and vain philosophies that
can exist in any church. Sin's very nature of death separates the people of God into
separatist institutions, and into religious sects of exclusive cultural doctrines
that dictates, "Its
my way or hit the highway."
You don't have to think about it for very long, for no doubt Satan from the
beginning, is the malignant originator of the methodology of divide and conquer. It
is painfully evident, that we are not all of one mind and saying the same
essential things that pertain to the one Perfect Faith in the Eternal Holy
Yahweh God
of creation. Yahweh God IN His Holy WORD of TRUTH, has given His Promised Gift of LIFE through His Spirit of Grace
to the believers IN the Body Jesus Christ.
Do You
not know that You are already dead because your sin is death!
Think on this remarkable TRUTH for it IS the WORD OF GOD.
From the beginning of your life, Sin has already killed you, and
now
you exist in a body of death caused by sin. But the Good
News is, if
you are people of Faith IN Christ, then you are new born
into the Body of Christ
Jesus and are mortifying the dictates of sin in the your flesh. Remember that when we eat of the Bread of
LIFE, we are to remember that He died for our sinful nature of flesh that innately gives
birth to death. If by Faith we are dead in the Body
of Christ Jesus, then we are to liken ourselves as being dead to
sin, but alive in the risen Living Body of Christ. As obedient servants IN the Body of Christ
Jesus, sin is to no longer have dominion over faithful
believers.
However, in our sinful nature of natural flesh, death will seek
its own way, but when we Drink in Faith of the LIFE giving Blood
of the Jesus Christ, then the Power of Yahweh's Spirit of LIFE
in His Son Yeshua overcomes our propensity to continue in sin's death, All who would hold to the TRUTH that is Jesus Christ,
would become
more than conquerors IN the risen Body of the Lord Christ Jesus. Yahweh God's Holy Spirit of Grace is given
to His Ecclesia through His only begotten Son, Yeshua haMashiach, Who seeks too develop within our souls, a
greater love
and obedience to His Father Yahweh God Almighty.
Adam's insurrection
to His Maker brought sin and death into the world, and Yahweh God's Holiness can only be
satisfied by the death of an innocence Son of Man.
Therefore Yeshua Emanuel, the Son of Adam gave Himself
as an offering to Yahweh God for the sin
and death caused by the first Man Adam. Thus Christ revealed that He had
conquered man kind's sin for He bodily rose from sin's death, in the
Power of the LIFE of His Holy Father Yahweh God. The Savior of Man kind,
is Jesus Christ for He is the Only
WAY, the Only TRUTH and the Only LIFE of men, Who can lead His Body of believers
into the Presence of His Holy Father Yahweh God Almighty. Jesus/Yeshua
is our only Mediator and our High Priest Who brings
believer's through the veil of His Body into His Father's Throne Room of Grace.
(See
Luke 24 verse 49.)
The writings are not clear about the unsullied belief of the latter
two, but Paul says that only Luke is with him. Paul continues in his writing
to Timothy advising him of his first trial, that
However,
being justified in their religious eyes, the
Roman and Orthodox Catholic Churches, through the inherited Roman traditions of
human idolatry, are tap dancing
around several all important issues of Salvation, and remain disobedient,
without true repentance
for their vain idolatrous traditions of the flesh. In elevated pride these sanctimonious
churches remain defiant to the TRUTH that IS the Personage of the WORD of
GOD, and now their un-repented rebellious sin has led them to more iniquity that festers in the flesh
of their idolatrous followers.
You
shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourselves
any graven image or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above,
or that which is in the earth beneath or in the waters of the earth.
(See
Deuteronomy 5 verse 1 thru 9 and Exodus 20, verse
3 thru 4.)
Meanwhile the multi-fractionated Protestants attend their own
individual dances, to the tunes of Calvin, for they are continually waltzing around predestination, and end
their jig with an out of step
once saved always saved (OSAS). Oops,
sorry, but the fractionated (OSAS), have stepped on their own holy toes.
Don't you know that according to the OSAS's doctrine that their one time confession is good forever,
inspite of gross sin?
Witness how Paul speaks of his fellow worker, the man Demas as
pertaining to his saving faith.
(See
Colossians 4 verse 14.) No
doubt, Demas was
once saved, but Paul declares in his second letter to
Timothy of his disappointment in Demas and perhaps others:
For Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world,
and is departed to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto
Dalmatia.
no one stood with me (Paul), but
all men abandoned me (Paul): I pray to God that He does not lay it to their
charge. (See
2nd Timothy 4 verse 10-11 and verse 16.) Love not the world, neither the
things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love
of the Father is not in him. (1st
John 2 verse 15.) For if after they have escaped
the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the latter
end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better
for them to not have known The WAY of Righteousness that after they have
known it, to turn from the Holy Commandment delivered unto them. (2nd
Peter 2 verse 20 thru 22.)
I don't have the means to
speculate as to the end reward of Demas, but I would be pleased to hear
from any of the spokes persons of the Once Saved Always Saved dictum.
Then again is there anyone who will provide sound Scriptural Doctrine that would substantiate their
claims, and refute those in all of these writings. But, consider before
hand, you that were once save, that your own sin will find you
out, and then what do you do with your own revealed rebellion. The apostle Paul doesn't
quibble about the power of the Law of Sin and Death, for he confirms the
WORD of GOD as TRUTH Who reveals death by sin:
Then
do we make void the Law through Faith? [Yahweh] God forbid! Yea, we
establish the Law. (See
Romans 3 verse 29 thru 31.)
If you are dead in your sin because of the Condemnation of the Good,
Holy and Just Ten Commandments of Yahweh God, then in your ignorance of the Law
of Sin and Death, how will you find
Yahweh God's New Covenant LIFE IN Christ Jesus, the TRUTH?
With
their doctrinal position of the OSAS, the
now dysfunctional administers of the multi-fractionated protestant churches, see no
need for receiving Yahweh God's renewing Communion New Covenant Grace IN the LIFE Giving Blood of Christ Jesus.
Out of their pompous idolatry, the one and done theology of the OSAS,
have dismissed the need for Yahweh God's Holy Spirit of
Grace, for God's Spirit of TRUTH renews the core of God's saving Faith to those who live IN The
WAY, The TRUTH, and The LIFE of God's Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ.
So then because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot I will spew
you out of My Mouth.
Perhaps the disputer was once IN the Body of Christ, but now
what dried up pond are
you floundering about, (See
Revelation 3 verse 15 thru 20.)
We all should be thankful for
Holy Yahweh God's Mercy
IN His Messiah Yeshua, but His Mercy is directed toward the faithful that fear the Almighty
Yahweh God and keep His
Covenant WORD. The called are to remember to honor His Commandments through His
Spirit of Grace within His
Only Begotten Son. Jesus the Messiah of Holy Yahweh God Almighty (See
Psalm 103 verse 11 and 17 thru 18.)
It is better to Trust IN the Lord, than to put confidence in man.
(See
Psalm 117 verse 8 thru 9.)
Let
Godly Wisdom Prevail, There is no life in mankind, accept IN the
LIFE of Christ Jesus.
The
apostle Paul, in his
1st epistle to the Corinthian church, chapter
10, encapsulates Israel's struggles in the wilderness,
where many were destroyed because of their lustful desires to
participate in their evil
choices. (Read
1st Corinthians 10 verse 1 thru 10.)
Now
all these things happened to many of Israel for our example, for they
are written for our admonitions, upon whom the ends of the world are
come. Wherefore let him that thinks he stands, take heed lest he
fall.
We
are not of them that draw back into perdition. but of them that believe
in the saving of the soul. For Faith is the substance of things hoped
for, the evidence of things not seen.
Wherefore, we fully believe in the unseen TRUTH of
the WORD of GOD. Now, our
fellowship with Holy, Holy, Holy Yahweh Lord God Almighty is to be as
joint members IN
the One Body of Christ, through Yahweh God's unseen Holy Spirit of Grace. In our
times of trouble, Almighty Yahweh God does not make 'a' way of escape, as in an
enigmatic way of escape, but His WORD makes it clear in His New Covenant that the only WAY of escape
is through the LIFE giving Blood of His Beloved
Son, Jesus Christ, for Yeshua died for our sins of death. Christ Jesus
says emphatically:
"I AM The WAY, The TRUTH, and The LIFE
of men. No one comes to the Father except by ME."
The
Cup of Blessing, which we
bless, is it not the Communion of the Blood of
Jesus Christ?
The Bread, which we break, is it not the Communion of the Body of Jesus
Christ?
The Communion
Blood of Jesus Christ is eternally efficacious, for His Holy Spirit of
Grace provides the only WAY of escape from our sinful earthly entanglements. (Read
with understanding
1st Corinthians 10 verse 13 thru 16.)
Yahweh God's unseen Grace
is in the LIFE Blood of Christ Jesus that was poured out of the Body of Christ fin
reperation for the sins of mankind.
My WORD shall not return to
Me void, but (HE) shall accomplish that which I please. (See
Isaiah 55 verse 10 thru 11.)
By
their fruits you shall know them. Not every one that says unto Me. Lord,
Lord shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven: But those that do the Will
of My Father, Who is in Heaven. Many will say to Me in that day:
Lord, Lord, have we not done many wonderful works in Thy Name. And
the Lord will declare unto them: Get away from Me, you who practice iniquity,
for I never
knew you! (See
Matthew 7 verse 15 thru 23.
Yashua haMashiach is Holiness Personified and in His
Holiness it would be impossible for Him to intimidatly know of the
iniquitous dead.
You
are the salt of the earth: But if the salt has lost his
savor, how shall it be salted again? It is thenceforth good for
nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
(Matthew
5 verse13.)
To the
lukewarm pew sitters, the Lord of Salvation Declares:
I will vomit you out of My
Mouth.
Those that continue in their sinful ways while proclaiming
that they are saved, produce an extremely disgusting taste in the Mouth
of the TRUTH of Holy God Almighty. Those that think they are
blessed of God because of their riches, are blinded by their possessions
that are piled up behind the door of the world. The Comforter that
is One IN the TRUTH of Yahweh God, further Declares:
Those that I love, I rebuke and chasten.
Therefore be zealous and repent: For Behold I stand at the
door (of your heart) and knock: If any man hear My Voice and open the
door (of his heart), (then) I will come in to him and will Sup with him and he
with Me. To him that overcomes (the deceit of sin, I will grant to sit
in My Throne, even as I also overcame and I AM sat down with MY Father
IN His Throne.
If you
have ears to hear, then hear what the Spirit of Christ is saying. (See
Revelation 3 verse 15 thru 22.)
There
are so many false prophets that lead their sitting people astray with their own misleading vanity.
Those that eat of the pulpit prophet's pernicious delights will all fall into their
same ditch of vanity. These fleshly prophets
pick and choose their own scriptures to satisfy their own itching ears.
Then in their pride, they boast of their own wisdom to those who have like itching ears,
and call for justifying shouts of amen and alleluias.
Therefore, the directives of all the Scripture's 'there-fore's' that proceeded the
preacher's singled out clause of exclusivity, are never brought to the attention of the people of the pews.
The
disciple is not above his Master nor the servant above his Lord.
It is enough for the disciple that he be like his Master, and the
servant like his Lord. Therefore, whosoever shall confess Me
before men, him will I confess also before My Father Who is in heaven.
But whosoever will deny Me (and MY Words) before men, him will I also deny before My
Father, Who is IN Heaven. (See
Matthew 10 verse 24 thru 33.)
What is
the extent of our denial? Have you
not heard of the quasi idiom; "Actions speak louder than words"? For
what does it profit a man if he boast of his faith and has no works to
prove his faith. Can
faith save him?
Faith without works is dead, for it is alone, (wallowing in it's
self). Yes a man may say, he has faith, but I have works: Show me
your faith without the evidence of works, and I will show you my faith,
by the evidence of my works. (See
James 2 verse 17 thru 23.) But
do you not know O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
You
are (to be) the Light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid.
Neither do men light a candle and put it under a basket, but put it on a
candlestick and it gives light to all that are in the house. So
let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and
glorify your Father Who is in heaven. (Matthew
5 verse14 thru 16.)
The
truth of the matter resonates in our vacillating vanity, for 'words are cheap', and the all-knowing Eternal Holy
Yahweh God is not mocked
with empty words of human flesh. (See
Galatians 6 verse 6 thru 8.)
However, the Covenant WORD of the Lord Yeshua/Jesus Christ is followed
with His Covenant Work on the cross of Calvary: For His Selfless
action speak clearly that His Word is
TRUTH. The sinless Christ died
once for our sin and death, so that we would be free from our self-idolatry that speaks
only for itself. The Eternal Yahweh God is not mocked with our vanity,
for He knows all things in His creation that began with His creation of the fabric of time. The
freewill actions of our flesh speaks loudly in the Sight of the Almighty
Yahweh God, for they
either deny or confirm the
TRUTH of the Salvation Word of Almighty Yahweh God. Yahweh God knows the
weakness of our flesh, and His New Covenant is IN the LIFE Blood of Jesus Christ
that provides the
Only Way for our escape from the entanglements of the sin that so
easily entraps the unbeliever and the believer in death.
"Come to Me, all you who are weary and
burdened, and I will give you rest".
(See
Matthew 11 verse 28 thru 30)
Christ
Jesus, Himself, as the expressed WORD of His Father Yahweh the Almighty
God, declared at His
Passover Table on the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread that His Communion Blood IS the
Only LIFE giving Blood
of Yahweh God's New Covenant given for the
remission
of the sins of repentant believers. The WORD of Yahweh God is One Spirit, and
Yahweh God's Spirit of Grace is One with the Water and LIFE giving Covenant
Blood of Christ Jesus that He shed on Calvary. The TRUTH of Holy, Holy, Holy Yahweh Lord God Almighty is
constant with Christ's LIFE giving Blood that is received at His
Table of Grace for the
remission of mankind's fleshly sins of death that are confessed in true repentance by believers.
Yahweh God's Promised Gift of His Spirit of
Grace, brings with His Presence, the Messiah's Holy LIFE in His Fellowship Blood, even to the vain sins of those, who, in their hypocrisy,
claim to adhere to
Sola
Scriptura. Yahweh God is not glorified in our confusions
and hypocrisies that are rooted in the vanity of fallen flesh. The Resurrected WORD of
Yahweh God
sings out to believers:
Preach of
repentance with the
remission of sin in Christ's Name of
Salvation to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
(See
Luke 24 verse 45 thru 48.)
Yahweh God's
Spirit of cleansing Grace through the LIFE Giving Blood of our Lord
Jesus Christ relieves
the conscience of repentant believers from our errors of the flesh.
You can be sure that if we are not IN agreement with Yahweh God's Spirit of
Communion LIFE IN Christ Jesus then we will continue to eat of our own
confusions, as we keep on dancing in sin's way of death.
If that, which
is called by Almighty Yahweh God to be the One Ecclesia/church in the One Body of
Christ, is splintered into thousands of separate sects that are squabbling over the essentials of faith, then
where does that leave those without the church. Those in darkness, fail to see any light coming
forth from the actions of sinners who say they are saved by faith alone.
Yes, but is the substance of faith IN Christ Jesus
On appearances, the
multi-fractionated ideologies of all the churches seem to be
lacking in the definition of the One Body of Christ. Sin, as always, separates, divides and kills
within its fleshly nature of self will: And the Light of the world, the Lord Jesus Christ cried from
the utmost darkness of the cross:
"Father, forgive them, for they know not
what they do".
It is impossible for
the Living Christ Jesus to be divided, and fractionated among the many religious Christian sects,
and
neither is Jesus exclusive to the larger institutions of mock superficial piety
with their segmented superiority.
For, there is One Body, and One Spirit, even as you are called in
one hope of your calling; One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism, One
God and Father of all, Who is above all, and through all and in you
all.
(Ephesians 4 verse 4 thru 6.)
The One
Yahweh God and Father of all is One Spirit and not two spirits.
There is only one Everlasting
Covenant, given by the One Everlasting Yahweh God, where by each and every member, within
the One Body of Jesus Christ, would be, through their obedient faith, set apart
from sin, by Yahweh God's
Gift of His Holy Spirit that is One with the Sacrificial LIFE Blood of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Through faith,
IN the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we rebellious sinners have
entered into Yahweh God's New Covenant of LIFE through baptism into His One Body, where
by the Lord our Salvation would maintain each member's sanctity with the Holy Provisions of
His Word of Grace.
For this is My Blood of the New Covenant that is shed for many for
the remission of sin. (Matthew
26 verse 27 thru 28.) If we say we have no sin, then we deceive
ourselves and the TRUTH is not in us. (1st
John 1 verse 8.)
Our Holy Almighty Yahweh God has not changed,
and His Spirit of
Prophecy with the testimony of His Son Jesus Christ (Yeshua Messiah), remains
the
same
yesterday, today and forever. (See
Revelation 19 verse 9 thru 11.) The Constant Word of the
Universe says:
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away.
For
Truly I say unto you: Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall
in no wise pass from the Law (TORAH), till all be fulfilled. (See
Matthew 24 verse 35, and Matthew 5 verse 18.)
The Spirit of
Yahweh God's WORD is
immutable and shall stand forever. Yahweh God's
WORD remains active and alive
today, even as when the Spirit of the Lord Jesus prophesied to the Seven Churches of Revelation. The
Spirit of the Lord will bring correction, and His correction will speak
strongly to our unfaithfulness, for His faithful Call is to those already marked for Salvation
and for their return to our
first Love.
(See
Revelation 2 verse 3.)
The Everlasting Covenant is in the
LIFE that is IN the Blood of Jesus
Christ, which we have entered into by unadulterated faith in the WORD of Yahweh
God. That faith is from Yahweh God of the Living WORD,
and not with the gods of controversy that are born out of the pride of controlling sin
that
gives birth to death.
If the flesh of man is arguing with the flesh of others, over that which is spiritually
discerned, then man's faith in the Almighty Yahweh God is disrupted into the flesh's confusion.
For the Spirit we have received is not the world’s
spirit, but Yahweh God’s Spirit, helping us to recognize the gifts He has given to us.
We speak of these, not in words of human wisdom, but in Words taught by
Yahweh's Spirit, thus interpreting spiritual things in spiritual terms.
(1st Corinthians 2
verse 13
thru 14.
)
The True Light of
Yahweh God's WORD forever shines,
sending forth the rays of His Infinite TRUTH within the hearts of the faithful hearer of His WORD of TRUTH.
