Faith is ubiquitous in man; for mankind has developed within himself all
forms of faith attributed to his own cultivated incites or his own accomplishments.
This kind of faith is near sighted, and can not see afar off, but
can only focus on itself. The
Almighty God is looking to the One Faith that is profoundly centered
IN
the TRUTH of His Word that created all things visible and
invisible. This TRUTH
is written in the beginning of Chapter 11 of Hebrews: Faith is the
substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For
without Faith, it is impossible to please Yahweh God, for they that
come to God must believe that He exist, and that He is a rewarder of
those that diligently seek Him.
(See
Hebrews 11 verse 1 and 6.)
There is no sin that God cannot forgive, but do be careful of
blaspheming against God's Holy Spirit. (See
Mathew 12 verse 31 thru 33.)
Either Make the tree good and his fruit good, or else the tree is
corrupt and its fruit is corrupt: For the tree is known by his
fruit.
Now if God did not spare the natural branches (of
Israel),
then take heed lest He also spare not thee. Therefore, behold the
goodness and the severity of God: On them which fell, severity. But
toward thee goodness, if you continue in His Goodness, otherwise you
also shall be cut off. (See
Romans 11 verse 16 thru 22.)
I AM the TRUE Vine, and My Father is the Gardener. 2 Every
branch in Me that does not produce fruit, Yahweh takes away: And every
branch that produces fruit, Yahweh prunes the branch so that it will
produce more fruit. 4 Abide in Me and I will abide in you.
Even as the branch cannot produce fruit by itself, for the branch must
abide in the Vine. So then, you can not produce fruit unless you abide in the Me.
I AM the Vine, you are the branches. Without Me you bring forth no fruit
[or nothing of value in the LOVE of Yahweh]. 6 If a man does not abide
in Me, he is cast forth as a branch and withers, and men gather them up,
and cast them into the fire. (See
John 15 verse 1 thru 6.)
Martin Luther wrote some good things, but even so he
also fomented fallacies that are perpetuated by Luther's written
thoughts found in
Sin Boldly. This weed seed of
rebellion has become rooted in the
churches of human vanity. With their self idolatry, they cloak
themselves with their misguided interpretation of
Paul's writings in
Romans chapter 8 verses 35 through 39.
They miss the small English word "IN", which has huge repercussion to
those who are not IN CHRIST JESUS. This small English word
"IN" is "EN",
that IN the Greek Testament means "A fixed position as IN Place,
IN Time, IN State". Do not overlook that small word
IN, for the LOVE of
Yahweh GOD is
embedded
IN His Only Begotten Son Christ Jesus, and Yahweh God's Love is for His repentant people
who are IN the Will of God Almighty that is "IN" Christ Jesus.
Yahweh's Holy Presence flows throughout the whole of Christ's Body,
for God's Spirit of TRUTH conceived LIFE IN Christ's Body
because of the immeasurable Love that Yahweh God has for those who
follow the TRUTH.
If the Holy Spirit of God is absent in the people who are called to
Life, then it is because they continue to live
in the power of their sinful flesh, and remain
chained to their death. If they continue in their rebellion
then they have chosen their own way, and have removed themselves
from Yahweh's Holy Will
that they should live IN their Salvation "IN" Christ Jesus. (See
Romans 8 verse 9.) For God IN His Love
for mankind, gave His Only Begotten Son, so that whosoever believes
IN Christ and lives IN Christ Jesus, should not perish but have everlasting Life.
(See
John 3 verse 16.)
However, If you live after the flesh you shall die: But if you
through the Holy Spirit do kill the deeds of the body, (then) you
shall live, for as many are led by the Holy Spirit of God, they are
the sons of God. (See
Romans 8 verse 12 thru 14.)
The Almighty God of Creation is the God of Order, and
no where in Scripture
do we legitimately see that Yahweh God has eradicated His warning
laws inscribed in the book of Deuteronomy that were and are ordained within His
Eternal Wisdom. From the beginning, all of the Creator's laws
(Torah)
in His Word
were given for the remarkable dynamics within His good Universe: Other wise
gravity does not exist, and all particle things would fly apart from
each other, for without gravity it is impossible for the universe to
exist. All things of the universe are under the good power of
Gravity, and this includes all people for we are all under the
influence of Gravity. All things of this universe
are not known by ignorant man, but it is wise to abide by the good known
universal laws rather than break any one of them and suffer the
inevitable consequences. So then the Torah of God was given to
mankind for the safety of all
people. The 10 Commandments of God Almighty are good, holy and just,
for they are warning signs that reveal an otherwise unknown
independent law of
rebellion called the 'Law of Sin and Death' that brings only death to all of mankind.
The apostle Paul was the first to call the anti law of rebellion, 'The
Law of Sin and Death'.
Sin existed before the Commandments were given to Israel, but Israel
did not know of sin's consequences of condemnation even to death that came under
God's
warnings
given in the Decalogue Commandments. God gave warning instructions of
what a person must avoid in order to remain under His Covering
protection. However, the keeping
of the Law in Commandments does not justify sinning mankind; for the
Holy God of Justice had already determined that all of mankind are
guilty of sin in the flesh and will die in sin's rebellion. But Merciful God is not willing that any one
should perish in their sinfulness, but that all should come to Him in
humble repentance and that remission for sin should be
preached IN His Name in all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. This
is My Blood shed for many for the remission of sin: This do \in
remembrance of why I died. (Consider also the prodigal
seen in
Luke 15 verse 18 thru 22.)
An other example of God's willingness to give His mercy to a
repentant person is seen in the book of
the Prophet Jeremiah. The writings speak of Israel's harlotry
with their whoredoms as being the cause for the pollution of the land; and
yet in spite of the great debauchery against God, the Lord
nevertheless calls for
Israel
to return to Him. However, their sinful flesh would not allow for their return, for in the blindness of
their calloused heart, they could not see that it was God's showers
of Blessing that had enriched the nation of Israel in the first
place. (See
Jeremiah 3 verse 1 thru 3.)
The Lord's solution for Israel's return, is with a condition that can be seen in
Jeremiah 4 verse 1 thru 4. Repentance seems to be a
stumbling block to those who are right in their own eyes. The
Song of Moses, seen in Deuteronomy, is a witness of Israel's historical plight while
traversing time in their own collective will, but ending with God's justice over His
enemies, and giving His mercy to His Land with His people of Israel.
(See
Deuteronomy 32 verse 39 thru 43.)
God's instructions in the Ten Commandments, were warning signs and were
established by the Only Almighty God of creation TO
BE preventative in time, and so they remain today in their spiritual nature. Yahweh God's
spiritual Law in Commandments was etched in Rock by the Finger of
God to reveal idolatrous sin to the chosen nation of Israel.
The preventative Laws of God were
to enable the Hebrews to bring
forth in their flesh, the Purity of Holy God's Personal Word that would be conceived in the
same genetic flesh
from God's creation of the first
Adam. (See
Galatians 3 verse 19.) Israel
broke their Covenant with God, but God Almighty, True to His Word of
Salvation, would intervene in the flow of time, and see to it that
the TRUTH of His Covenant Word would be born Emmanuel, that is God
with us. For the TRUTH of Yahweh God would be the Last
Man/Adam conceived from the Seed of the first Man/Adam. Now that
the Incarnate Yeshua haMashiach, Jesus the Christ has come in
the Hebrew flesh of Man/Adam to redeem mankind by Faith in the
Eternal God, then what do we do with God's Law. It
should be obvious that God's righteous Law, in
the Ten Commandments, remains effectual warning signs to all people, and will
continue to reveal the devastating nature of
sin's depravity. Therefore, the Law of God set in the Ten
Commandments, continues to reveal sin's condemnation of death to
self idolatrous mankind, and thereby
would bring the dying people of the world to the saving Grace IN the
knowledge of the TRUTH of the victorious Man Christ Jesus and His Holy Righteousness. (See
Romans 3 verse 31.)
Let's not continue in our human ignorance, and let us learn to be
wise in the Eternal Wisdom of the Lord. In His Eternal
Wisdom, the Almighty God gave His Law in Commandments to Israel, for
the spiritual Commandments were to reveal another law, the renegade Law of Sin
and Death that is totally against the Holy, Just, Eternal Yahweh God
the Almighty. Do we continue to refute the Wisdom of Eternal
God, even though the Great I AM created the universe with its Laws that sustains
the universe's
existence.
God's Laws of Grace in His Ten Commandments has come by the way
of Moses, so that the redeeming Faith IN God is come IN TRUTH by the WAY of Christ Jesus,
The redeemed Paul
writes in Romans: Do we make void the Law because of faith? God
forbids: Yes we establish His Laws.
The
Lord is well
pleased for His Righteousness' sake; He will magnify the
law and make
it honorable. But
this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and
they are hid in prison houses: They are for a prey, and none delivers for a
spoil, and none says, Restore. Who
among you will give ear to this? Who will hearken and hear for the time to come? Who
gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? Did not the
Lord, He
against Whom we have sinned? For they would not walk in His ways,
neither were
they obedient unto His
law. (Isaiah
42 verse 21 thru 24.)
The apostle Paul, says he was alive once, (in
his new birth of his soul) then sin and its death revived in his
mind, for God's
good, holy and just Laws in Commandments found him out to be dead in his sin and trespasses.
What shall we say then.
Is the Law sin? Nay, God forbid: For I had not known sin except by
the Law (Decalogue): For I had not known lust, except the Law said:
Thou shall not covet. Now, Paul, in
the surprise of his demise, cries out: Who will save me from this
body of death?
Thank God for Jesus Christ our Lord. The New Covenant of
God, is in the Life Giving Blood of Christ Jesus, and His LIFE is the only WAY
that leads us IN
Christ's Righteousness. Without the LIFE of Christ Jesus, man
is dead in their sin, and completely absent of the WAY, and the
TRUTH that leads to LIFE. The soul may be sealed for Salvation,
but sin and death remains in the very flesh that houses the soul of our
being. Confusion is set in motion by sin, and when the Commandments
find us out in our sin, then what are we to do
when we discover ourselves in this Body of
Death? Liberation from the full consequences of sin is found
IN the resurrected Christ Jesus: For Faith IN the Covenant Word of the Son of God, is
the Only WAY that leads man to freely worship Yahweh Father God
Almighty IN Christ's Spirit of TRUTH and GRACE. "Drink all
of you: For this is My Blood of the New Covenant that is shed for
many for the remission of sin!"
Why
Call Me Lord,
Lord and do not the things I say to do?
Holy, Holy, Holy Lord
God Almighty is faithful and stead fast in His Love for His people, and is longsuffering to us-ward, not
willing that any should perish, but that all should come to
repentance. (See
2nd Peter 3 verse 9.)
He that loves not, knows not God; for God is Love. In this was
manifested the Love of God toward us, because that God sent his Only Begotten
Son into the world, that we might live through Him. (1st
John 4 verse 8 thru 9.)
God's unfailing TRUTH
is Jesus/Yeshua the Person of
the WORD of GOD: For Yahweh God Almighty sent His Very Word into
this world to bear
witness of The TRUTH of God, for the Man Jesus Christ gave His Life in His Blood, as a
Perfect Sacrifice to pay for the sin of
the world. The WORD of God can only speak TRUTH and prays to His Father: Sanctify them through the TRUTH, Thy WORD is TRUTH.
(John
17 verse 17.) But the TRUTH of the WORD of God is distorted by
sin carrying men that are influenced by the deceit of the prince of the air.
In the stupor of these absentminded churches, they have forgotten that
Father God Almighty gave as a Sacrifice, His Only Begotten Son, Jesus/Yeshua to reconcile sinful
peoples back to the unchangeable Creator, Holy Yahweh God Almighty, and not to
reconcile Holy Almighty God to sinful
people.
(See
2nd
Corinthians 5 verse 17 thru 21.)
God's
Sanctifying TRUTH is Yeshua/Jesus, and the TRUTH of Christ continues His prayer to His Father
Yahweh God: As Thou has sent Me (the TRUTH of Yahweh God) into
the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. The disciples
of
Christ
are of the Body of TRUTH, for they are not of the world even as Jesus the
TRUTH is not of the world. (See
John
17 verse 16 thru 18.) In God's Eternal new Covenant, God's people
of living faith, are to continue in their sanctification of the flesh
through the
Life giving Blood of Christ
Jesus. To clarify the Word of TRUTH,
the people of God are set
apart from their sin in the flesh through their sincere repentance, and then
through God's unseen Holy Spirit of TRUTH, the unseen Life Giving Blood of
Jesus Christ absolves them of the unseen sin's of death. In His oversight
of His creation of time, even before the He created the world, the Almighty God
would know of those who would hear His Word and would respond to His Word.
Then in the flow of time, He would then call each one of them to receive the
TRUTH of His Salvation, The TRUTH shall set you free. The Will of Father
God, is for His chosen to live IN the TRUTH of the WORD of GOD Almighty.
But there are the humanistic churches that have stifled the Salvation
and Sanctifying WORD of GOD, and have established a non offensive doctrine that follows after the
vain desires of the dictating
prince of the world. However, if we are to be following IN the WAY of God's Living Word
IN the Man Christ Jesus, then where is the
denial of one's self will with the daily taking up of their cross, with the dying to
the sin that so easily besets us? (See
Hebrews 12 verse 1.) Where is the renewing of
the self indulgent
mind of flesh? These churches', in the vanity of their self indulgent
rhetoric, have made the Almighty's New Covenant Love IN Christ Jesus, an
oxymoron. Wherefore, today's churches of
Nicolaitan confusion, have taken
the Word of God out of context, and manipulated Scripture to accommodate their
own humanistic disposition that
dismisses any accountability for their self satisfying sins committed
for the enjoyment of its double minded children.
Conditional contentment sits in the Sunday pews, so long as the
lukewarm occupiers are told by the accommodating pulpit pastors only what they want to hear that satisfies their
carnal desires.
(Consider both
Romans 6 verse 1 thru 6 and Revelation 3 verse 15 thru 20.)
What spirit is our flesh listening to?
Can there be any wonder as to who this vile malevolent deceiver
is, for he
appeals to the vanity of of all of man kind?
(See
Romans 6 verse 16 thru 18.) Yes,
it is Satan, the unseen wannabe god
that inspires
anarchy and rebellion against his Maker! (See
Isaiah 14 verse 12 thru 15.) Be very careful of what
you hear, read, and definitely check out the spirit of your dreams: For the Holy Spirit of the God of our
Salvation will in no wise entice a person to return to their old ways of self
destruction. Know for a certainty that you
remain free in your flesh to choose which spirit you will serve, whether it may be the Eternal God's
Holy Spirit of LIFE IN Christ Jesus, or Satan's spirit of sin and death.
The Almighty God of creation is Faithful to all the heavy laden
with sin, and in their repentance they will come to the TRUTH of God: For in their obedience
to His Good Will for them, they will live IN the Almighty's Covenant of Love
WithIN
Christ Jesus. (See
Matthew 11 verse 28 and 24 verse 26 thru 28.)
Therefore
know that the
Lord thy God, He is God, the Faithful God, Who keeps Covenant and
Mercy
with them that love Him and keep His Commandments to a thousand generations.
But be forewarned, the Eternal Judge of the universe is not mocked, for He will give a person over to their own illicit desires that
they are accustomed to perform: For
He
repays them that hate Him to their face, and will destroy them. He will not be
slack to him that hates Him, for He will
recompense him to his face.
(See
Deuteronomy
7 verse 9 thru 10.)
Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey,
his servants you are to whom you obey; whether of sin unto death, or
of obedience unto righteousness? But God be Thanked, that you were
the servants of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart
(the
spirit of your mind) that
form
of
doctrine which was delivered to you. [Communion
IN the Grace of the Spirit of God] Being then
made free from sin, you become the servants of righteousness. I
speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your
flesh: for as you have yielded your members servants to uncleanness
and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so,
now
yield your members,
servants to righteousness unto holiness; for when you were the
servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
(See
complete passage in
Romans 6 verse 16 thru 23.)
Is the reader free from righteousness?
The Only, Holy, Holy, Holy Lord
God Almighty, the Eternally Just Creator of the universe and all that exists
within
His creation of free flowing time, is
not mocked
with the
slight of hand of a sinful church that is mired deeply into the
cesspools of this degenerate world of violence.
(Don't miss
Matthew 15 verse 7 thru 9 and 2nd Peter 2
verse 18 thru 22.)
If you have clicked on the
previously linked
Scriptures, then we
see that Peter ends his
sharp rebuke with these words:
For it had been
better for them not to have known the Way of Righteousness, then,
after they have known it, to turn (away) from the Holy Commandment
delivered unto them. But it is
happened unto them according to the true proverb: The dog is turned
to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed, to her
wallowing in the mire.
(See
The Words of the Sower.)
Sin's unabated contagion within the willful flesh of mankind, even
those who say they are Christians, does not
end with the one sinful act of a man or woman's wickedness, but sin's beckoning call,
when acted upon, has repercussions that have rippling affects on already
offended mankind. With each shameless offense, the violence of sin breeds the
escalation of more violence in this world of death. Both the
unrepented and repented acts of
wickedness are continually spread throughout this world of darkness by the
satanic prince of
darkness. For from the beginning of sin's lustful existence in Satan,
sin's corruption continually breeds violence in the flesh of man, and
the contagion is spread exponentially among all people of the earth. The
escalating dark acts of yesterday are evident in any time period. The
violence of yesterday and today's acts will relentlessly increase the flow of
destruction into tomorrow's events. Consider the warnings in
Hosea 4.
So it will be: like people, like priest (of
yesterday and today)!
Consequently in the end, Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God Almighty, the Righteous Creator
and Judge of all things of His creation, will
extend His Hand and pour out from the cup of
His indignation, the overflowing return
of the just rewards accumulated by the self indulgent creatures of human
flesh. Those overflowing rewards of sin, will be
harvested by the people
of the world, even according to
their own chosen ways.
(See
Psalm 11 Verse 5 thru 7, and Psalm 75 verse 7 thru
9.) In the end,
life and death shall hang in the balance of choice. The cup of God's indignation is full to the brim and
throughout God's creation of time, sin has been overflowing
with its judgments: First against Israel, and also upon all of the
gentile nations of the earth. In this present time, are we now
beginning to witness the
Righteous
Almighty God of His universe, beginning to turn His Hand of leveraged protection,
and pour out of the cup of His indignation, the full force of the wicked
violence
of this world of darkness? (See
Revelation 14 verse 6 thru 7.)
Time is running out of time: For from the beginning of God's creation of
Man/Adam, Satan, with his rebellion to his Creator, has enacted his
horror of wickedness on the earth, and in the end of time, his violence
will multiply exponentially, and wreak rebellion's total havoc upon this
darkened world that follows Satan's path of iniquity. Even as it shall be, the Only Holy,
Holy, Holy Lord
God of the Living, and the enemy of
death, will continually give Witness to the sinner of His Infinite
Righteous Power to Judge, and yet in His Mercy, He will show warning
signs in the heavens and the earth of sin's own final judgment of
death. The
Almighty's patience, is revealed throughout time, beginning with God's
chosen people in the genetic lineage of Adam. Now the Almighty
Yahweh God calls to all
people to
repent from the corruptive power of sin with it's death, and then to
humbly turn toward
the Almighty's mercy, by submitting to the Grace of His Holy Spirit of Life within Christ Jesus.
For there shall be
signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars, and upon the earth distress
of nations, in bewilderment and perplexity: with the sea and the waves roaring: Men's hearts
will be failing them for fear, looking after those things which are
coming on the earth: For the powers of heaven shall be shaken. (See
Luke 21:25-26.)
Why
Call Me Lord,
Lord and do not the things I say to do?
Holy
God's people, predestinated to holiness, will not remain wallowing in the world's unbelief,
for they were made to be IN Christ Jesus, more than
conquers though the abiding Love of the Holy One of God Almighty.
For God commended His Love toward us, in that, while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by Christ's
blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Jesus.
(See
Romans 5 verse 7 thru 9.)
And He (The Messiah) took the cup, and gave Thanks, then gave it to them,
saying "All of you drink of it: For this is My Blood of the New Covenant, that
is shed for many for the remission of sins. (Matthew
26 verse 27 thru 28.)
