We Jews see Jesus as our Jewish brother. If He is the Messiah than it will show in time. So far He is the Messiah of the World, in order to find the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As believers in Yeshua we know that He came first to find the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel, which many, not all, Christians are, but they do not know it yet; we do. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Judaism was too complicated and today it is still very complicated; therefore, no one can join the Jewish religious camp, because we have many religious camps; and joining a religious camp is not the perfect will of God. You can put on the Catholic garb, monastic or priestly garb, which is a symbol of belonging, or you wear no garb at all, belonging to God as you are.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Organized religion was created in order to encompass the three types, the field, tares and the good seed. Over time the truth will come out as to who is who; and individually; each will know who he or she truly is. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, any newfound Sheep of the House of Israel will react to the residing within them gene.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just as Paul spoke from himself (1Cor. 7:12), “It is I, not the Lord,” so here Moses speaks from himself also, not the Lord. Why? When God introduced Himself to Moses and to the children of Israel saying, “The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth; who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin” (Exodus 34:6-7). The following is a threat, which serves no purpose. God did not say this; Moses did; “yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.” The Father seeks only His lost children in order to find them and not religiously whipped into obedience strangers. He seeks children and not soldiers. He does not seek you so that he could give you a religion or make you religious. That’s not the purpose. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I understand that Moses dealt with the field and tares, which were mixed with God’s seed. The negative is usually aggressive and it is easier to overpower peace with uproar than overpower turbulence with tranquility. These are the natural laws belonging to this physical world. So, this mix of people had to be handled with the stick and carrot rigors, addressing each group differently. This mix we find throughout the entire Bible. Learn the difference and be taught of the Holy Spirit of Truth. God’s spiritual world is of the PERFECT PEACE, but not this physical world. First, wisdom is found in understanding of the physical structures makeup. The dust of the earth is cosmic from meteors, volcanic lava flows and crumbling rocks. These violent elements reside in our bodies. All metals, like iron, copper or magnesium handle electricity and magnetism. They repel or draw. Out of this volatile dust the Creator made our bodies and that is the reason why we feel unrest, agitation, stress and so we seek relaxation. But physical substances, like drugs and alcohol, only perpetuate the same. Although physical elements can balance other physical elements, they can’t do that for too long. Eventually people develop habits and are trapped in addictions to the chemical substances. This kind of disposition can only be permanently cured with the heavenly knowledge of peace. Yoga or meditation helps, but only for a while. As a temporary practice these must be repeated and circumstances do not always permit it. There must be a resident within you reminder, which brings peace and tranquility to your physical living frame. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him. It is written in the prophets, ‘AND THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me” (Jn. 6:44-45). Have you heard and learned from the Father? If you have, then He would have drawn you to His Firstborn Son, who then saves you from your destructive ways (sins, Mat. 1:21) for that is the actual meaning of His name - Yeshua. What is the purpose of threats if no one can come to Yeshua on his or her own? Punishments and hell’s torments do not produce the quality God is after. Now you understand why we have these words in the Bible. If they do not respond to the love of God and His perfect peace the lawless, loveless and the wicked will stay that way until he or she dies. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
[John 10:34-36] Jesus answered them, “Has it not been written in your Law, ‘I said, you are gods’? [35] If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), 36] do you say of Him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God?’”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The word of God the Father comes to His own and they are already His extensions on earth; therefore gods. According to Greek mythological mindset, a son of Zeus is Zeus, a god. Although Jesus addressed these words to the Hellenized Jews He did not mean it this way. What He said is this: God’s children hear the Father’s voice. He is Spirit and He leads them, for His love resides in them. God’s love did not reside in those who argued with Jesus (Jn. 5:42). He saw it and told them so, but these words only infuriated them even more, and that is because they pretended to be of God, but were not. If they were of God they would come to Jesus as Nicodemus did and further investigate. Also some of the seventy disciples left Jesus after He told them to eat His flesh and drink His blood. They asked no questions. They did not investigate but left Him saying, it is a hard teaching who can bear it (Jn. 6:60-66)? The love of God would make them do so; a sign that He draws them to His Son. The road to triumph is self-nullification, but few want to know about it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When you are only in the letter, dogma and indoctrination you lack the spiritual insight, which comes in freedom, which in turn brings the perfect peace. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Moses also covered the Kenites (Num. 24:21-22), which wanted to go back to Egypt and stuff themselves with meat and garlic. Flesh is flesh and its priority is only flesh and these people made Israel stumble. You have to have a thick skin, but underneath it a tender heart; this precious commodity the Father seeks. Moses address the amalgamated group of those who were gentle and those who were hard, but the hard overruled the softer, that’s the natural and brutal nature of the physical world. The opposite of this brutal world is the spiritual realm of the perfect peace. After the gain of heavenly insight the wise chooses and applies what he or she knows.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
[Deuteronomy 28:63-68] “It shall come about that as the LORD delighted over you to prosper you, and multiply you, so the LORD will delight over you to make you perish and destroy you; and you will be torn from the land where you are entering to possess it. [64] Moreover, the LORD will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other end of the earth; and there you shall serve other gods, wood and stone, which you or your fathers have not known. [65] Among those nations you shall find no rest, and there will be no resting place for the sole of your foot; but there the LORD will give you a trembling heart, failing of eyes, and despair of soul. [66] So your life shall hang in doubt before you; and you will be in dread night and day, and shall have no assurance of your life. [67] In the morning you shall say, ‘Would that it were evening!’ And at evening you shall say, ‘Would that it were morning!’ because of the dread of your heart which you dread, and for the sight of your eyes which you will see. [68] The LORD will bring you back to Egypt in ships, by the way about which I spoke to you, ‘You will never see it again!’ And there you will offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but there will be no buyer.” </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I, as God’s prophet have received the right to state what I state, not only here but in all of my books. I am preparing the Way of the Lord and make all the crooked—not just some ways—straight. Are you with me? I do not say that if you do not support me you will perish. You will not. I do not say that if you do not follow me then you will perish. I say not. I emphasize God’s mercy and His everlasting love. My elder brother Yeshua plainly told me, “I have commissioned My disciples to preach only mercy and grace, but they also started to rebuke people and threaten them with devils and roaring lions, which I have not commanded them to do. But they got impatient with those who knew not Judaism nor My grace, mercy and love.” </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Gentiles were unfamiliar with Hebrew Scriptures and much less with the nature of the only one God amidst many gods. Yeshua continued, “I assigned to them a rather a hard task, but they made blunders and lost their cool. I call you to be more than a disciple; teach them mercy, love and our Father’s compassion.” </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am no better. I also failed Him. I went astray in my ministry. I was terribly hurt and in my search for comfort I sunk even lower, but that also was His plan. Perhaps I could not learn except the hard way. I got entangled with Kenites (tares) who promised to finance my ministry, but God would not receive their corrupt promises and mush less one broken cent. Instead, I got myself into a deeper debt until I cut off all ties with those who only played religious games and milked me like a cow for their own schemes. I know Kenites well. My judgment is true for it has been verified. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I found many Kenites (religious tares) in the church; and the so-called ministers of God are no ministers, but a money-grabbing offspring of Cain. They threaten people with the devil while they are devils themselves. They ask windows for sacrifices as if that widows’ mite is most exciting. “Woe to those who enact evil statutes and to those who constantly record unjust decisions, so as to deprive the needy of justice and rob the poor of My people of their rights, so that widows may be their spoil and that they may plunder the orphans” (Is. 10:1-2). At first I wanted to work together with them, but their conniving, pharisaic and hypocritical ways did not allow me to continue. They would have to expose themselves and take off their mask, which profited them so well this far. So how could they? The love of money is the root of all sorts of evils. On a balance between the love of God and the love of money the second won. I did receive much hatred, which originated in envy. Too much anointing, which they craved (and have no clue about)… Too many wonders and too many miracles they have never witnessed in their lives… Instead of rejoicing with those the healed, delivered and rescued from death; they have grown more hateful. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now I say, I know all things and all secrets. I have received an x-ray vision, and like my elder brother I see through people. However, I do not care to see the filth. I am graciously waiting for any change. Only the Almighty can judge, but only at the appointed time when the cup of wickedness spills over. Until that time I close my eyes and see no evil for it bothers me too much; and hinders my walk with God. This Year of Jubilee (50th year) I received another grace to fulfill the mission for which I was sent. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As it was hard for the disciples so it has been quite hard for me, but the call remains. After 33 years I finally have arrived at the point of knowing. The Holy Spirit has educated me and yes, He has changed me. The training in self-nullification took a while. At first it was an uphill struggle and now it is very pleasant, like a downhill ride on luge easiness. Indeed, His yoke is easy and His burden is light; and this is only possible when wisdom is fully embraced and practiced. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
[Matthew 5:29-30] If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. [30] If your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to go into hell.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is not what the Lord said. Man said it. Our heavenly Father is not a mafia boss giving you an offer you can’t refuse, My Son or hell. No one can come to Yeshua unless first the Father draws such. Whatever the motive was it comes from the never satisfied “I” and self-importance. Unfortunately, this is the case and most hide it. When one is genuinely kind and merciful hiding anything would not be necessary, would it? I dare to say it because I know it. If I shock you then it is not me, but the Lord who says it. Spiritual body cannot burn, can it? This mix is typical religious and void of any substance of truth. Those who have the love of God in themselves also heard and learnt from Him. They become is His Firstborn Son Yeshua. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This lack of grasp of spiritual, endless and nonmaterial things speaks volumes. Hellenized minds breed confusion; a spiritually mature person has nothing to do with these half-truths and illusions, which lead to delusion. If a dogmatic indoctrination were what God wanted then there would be no need for the Holy Spirit of Truth to teach us, would it? Yet, He came. He is with us today. He teaches us (John 14:26), leads and guides us into all the truth (John 16:13). Does He do that or religious establishments dictate to us what is true and false? Someone must set you free first before you even dare to unpretentiously rely on the Holy Spirit. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-size: large;">Respect for the Holy Spirit, for if you do not respect Him you will respect the man-invented dogma.</span></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is God speaking: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
[Deuteronomy 4:31] “For the LORD your God is a compassionate God; He will not fail you nor destroy you nor forget the covenant with your fathers, which He swore to them.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As the books were copied there were those who wanted to make a name for themselves; so they inserted things that really did not belong. We can list many motives here, for human nature has not changed much. These hidden motives are usually well camouflaged. In order to draw attention to the importance of their job rather than to the compassionate God some sentences were added. In time, others who have discovered these errors—through inconsistencies of God’s character—tried to rectify them, but many of these errors (from the older copies) remained unchanged. E.g., the Essenes were the ones who dedicated themselves to the purity of Scripture. But it was too late. They too fell prey to Zoroastrian/Manichean notions about wars between sons of light and sons of darkness. They, being the sons of light, never realized that the eternal fire is timeless and instantaneous, which means: it annihilates all things God made - in spiritual and physical domains. This is not hell. This is called the ultimate justice. Essenes tried to purge the scriptures. They deemed the entire Temple system as unclean. They withdrew to the Dead Sea region of an area called Qumran. The excavated scriptoriums bear clear testament of their absolute dedication to personal as well as community purity, but above all the purity of God’s Word. They lived under a very strict monastic-style discipline. Before a scribe wrote the ineffable Name of God, YHVH, he had to thoroughly bathe in running water, change his clothes and then write the Name. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When you seek, you find. The Essene versions of the books of Bible somewhat differ from other versions. But the put-together scraps remain disjointed. Because the Essenes deemed the entire religious temple service in Jerusalem corrupt (the Sadducees controlled all temple-related money matters); Essenes also influenced John the Baptist. Also Jesus alluded to the Essenes when He mentioned the sons of light and sons of darkness and the mammon of unrighteousness. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
History shows that some rabbis made names for themselves through their own unique interpretations of the Scriptures. From this trend emerged two schools of Shammai (hardliner) and Hillel (soft-liner), we can politically say, radical right and liberal left. This trend continued throughout ages also in Babylon and Palestine, where the two versions of Talmud were compiled. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today, no one in Judaism can independently teach the Torah, or Talmud without quoting well-known figures. No new inspiration is allowed. The past is ‘worshipped’ and adored in all religions. If the prophet Elijah appeared today he would have been treated perhaps worse than Jesus was. Nothing new is allowed within this stale and outdated frame of religion, so any talk of fresh bread from heaven or the new wine is never mentioned for it cannot be handled at all. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Things change with time for our understanding and knowledge increases. To neatly close this section of the book I invite you to lean on the guidance of the Holy Spirit, which teaches you the true monotheism. Mono means one and Theism means God. God is Spirit, not flesh and blood; and He was never conceived, much less begotten or born. God the Spirit is one. He makes things one; therefore logical and rather simple. Complexities ore demonic and demons are past human lives stuck in the no-time zone. They are fragmented and confusing for they cannot progress. Demons cannot repent nor move forward, learn anything new, and much less understand the fresh and new wine sent by the Living Spirit. Holy Spirit makes things simple; therefore the Kingdom belongs to children. Unclean spirits are dead spirits, wicked or not; still, they hinder all progress. People can have ancestral spirits, which make them be the way they predecessors were and often such people die unchanged. Demons love traditions and old stuff for they belong to the past. Those who conjured them are guilty. Anyone who died in his or her wickedness, violence or perversion; will manifest the same in the now possessed by them a living person. Once one is completely delivered then spiritual growth must ensue; otherwise worse things might happen. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Whatever makes one, sound, logical clear, and wise comes from the ministering spirits, of understanding, knowledge and wisdom. When the Holy Spirit comes He comes with other six spirits, comprising the seven Spirits of the LORD. (1) The Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him, (2) the spirit of wisdom and (3) understanding, the (4) spirit of counsel and (5) strength, the (6) spirit of knowledge and (7) the fear of the LORD. Therefore, whatever is clear, makes sense to you and stirs your spirit is of the Holy Spirit. Logic makes one; it never fragments; flesh fragments but not the Spirit. Holy Spirit elates, illuminates, clarifies and inspires. Have you partaken of this wonderful bliss yet? The Holy Spirit wrote through me many other books and they will help you better understand and then experience this heavenly bliss each day of your life.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfqKhJVVE_Lt6D3_x3-a8dZvjB9nzhYRH-DEfWkQMwaFjp3HA05KJzjNykqaXtUZtvGDQRxR5ERVLDEZS1VmxLbEuuOpuPDw5Rbr-RAtCMm22TRUNJAwj-oVo-FAtkrzbYU3tmial4H1A/s1600/breake.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfqKhJVVE_Lt6D3_x3-a8dZvjB9nzhYRH-DEfWkQMwaFjp3HA05KJzjNykqaXtUZtvGDQRxR5ERVLDEZS1VmxLbEuuOpuPDw5Rbr-RAtCMm22TRUNJAwj-oVo-FAtkrzbYU3tmial4H1A/s1600/breake.png" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Solving, resolving, resolution, bound and loosed….<br />
<br />
[Matthew 16:19] I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.<br />
<br />
Whatever you permit is permitted, or allowed, and whatever you forbid will be forbidden.<br />
<br />
In the same way we know that God can only visit the iniquity of those who hate or have hated Him up to the third and max the fourth generation, from which we know that Job was privileged to see 4 generations of his seed because he taught them righteousness instead of just covering their sin 'just in case' with sacrifices as he did for his former children. His children partied and wasted their father's money, and so Job was afraid that in their loose behavior they might have had blasphemed God and His holy NAME.<br />
<br />
In Job 3:25 Job said, “What I fear comes upon me, and what I dread befalls me.”<br />
<br />
These things come from the root of guilt, which has not been dealt with.<br />
<br />
But in Job 42 we have the change. Job’s knowledge increased; and he prayed for his friends, then [16] After this, Job lived 140 years, and saw his sons and his grandsons, four (4) generations. Correlate it with Exodus 20:5-6 “You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the FOURTH generations of those who hate Me, [6] but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.<br />
<br />
The same God who created all things, you and me, has not changed. He is the same yesterday, today and forever; what has changed is man’s theology; from which come many stupidities, idiocies, imbecilities, calamities, troubles and nonsense. Your theology cannot change God, but He can change you if you let Him. Whatever your philosophical orientation, your interest… perhaps Hinduism (with offshoots) or New Age, the God who revealed Himself already, and gave you His law; will not bend to your beliefs nor will He cater to your falsehood and error-filled beliefs or teachings. No matter how hard you try to believe ()your own way) He will not honor false faith. First learn His ways and His character. Reach the original truth bypassing all religious influences; and that's what we do now.<br />
<br />
So here we go (Teaching in Linz, Austria starts with this): [Luke 13:16] “And this woman, a daughter of Abraham as she is, whom Satan has bound for eighteen long years, should she not have been released from this bond on the Sabbath day?”<br />
<br />
Why Satan? - Because of 2 Samuel 24:1 and 1Chronicles 21:1, which clearly shows that God’s wrath is expressed through the prosecuting angel God created—Satan.<br />
<br />
Satan fell on Job like fire, [Luke 10:18-20] “I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning. [19] Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you. [20] Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven.”<br />
<br />
So don’t brood in misunderstood theology or cheap beliefs - as if God and Satan fight as two gods, light vs. darkness - but see the oneness and God’s complete sovereignty over all His own creation.<br />
<br />
Compare it with this: Job 1:12, So Satan departed from the presence of the LORD. [16] “The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”<br />
<br />
Lightning is fire but it looks like...<br />
<br />
[Job 1:12] God said, “only do not put forth your hand on him.” — Satan obeyed God.<br />
<br />
[Job 2:6] So the LORD said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your power, only spare his life.”—Satan obeyed to the dot.<br />
<br />
<b>Turn your brain on and think.</b> Satan has no other choice but to obey the Almighty.<br />
<br />
The bent-over woman [Luke 13:16] was loosed for the time (3-4th generation was up) the Father showed His firstborn Son that the time has come to loose her from her bondage. The Son had obeyed the Father. — Knowledge.<br />

Now you know where we go with loosing and untying all forms of guilt and making you blameless. Living after the atonement is a guiltless life. Your blood will thank you for it.<br />

Pieter W. Van Der Horst writes, "One of the most surprising facts about
funerary inscriptions [extant from ancient Palestine dating from 300
B.C. to 500 A.D] is that most of them are in Greek - approximately 70
percent; about 12 percent are in Latin; and only 18 percent are in
Hebrew or Aramaic." Furthermore, since the time of Alexander the Great
(c. 330 B.C), many of the Jewish High Priests had become "Hellenists"
which led to the rejection of the Temple by the Essene Community and
eventually to the later Maccabean revolts. Even the Dead Sea Scrolls
include Greek texts among the Hebrew and Aramaic. So it's clear that
Hellenistic culture and Greek language were pervasive influences in
Israel both before, during, and after the time when Yeshua lived in

[Exodus 20:7] You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, <b>for the LORD will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain</b>.<br />
<br />
The Hebrew word VAIN, SHUA means futility, triviality, take casually and lightly without a thought, irreverently, disrespectfully and therefore without the fear of God. Anyone taking the Holy Name of God casually incurs guilt, which then calls for punishment.<br />
<br />
The reason why people took interest in God’s most holy name nowadays is the widely spread teaching on getting a blessing, as if being blessed is something acceptable and holy. The materialistic (faith and prosperity) brings it all down to the level of money; hence, all billionaires are blessed even the atheists. Those who licked a bit of Judaism got the notion of getting blessed off of the Jew. Many pastors took me for a dinner and gave me a fat check just to be blessed; they plainly said so. I thought that this was a very cheap way of going about being blessed. So the opposite must be also true. All anti-Semites are already cursed and go to hell. How about repentance? How about God’s endless mercies and grace, which is space and time allotted for repentance and change? <br />
<br />
No matter how high you heat up this spin, like water, it will never evaporate. This is a mental bondage, an accumulation of prejudices, ignorance and misunderstandings. Nowadays people are taught that if they “correctly” enunciate God’s Name then they turn some mystical mechanisms and sort of squeeze out from God some special secret blessings. Fools, and fools again. Shall I say again? Fools!!! That’s how Jewish mysticism and Cabala started. Moreover, people assume that because they believe in Jesus Christ—whom they also call YAH’SHUA—do not know that they play with vanity, which SHUA (ISHAV) means. <br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #bf9000;">Yeshua (Jesus) means salvation because of these so very clearly stated words God spoke through an angel. </span></b><br />
<br />
[Matthew 1:21] She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name <b>Jesus</b>, (<b>Yeshua</b>) for He will <b>save </b>(<b>yeshua</b>) His people from their sins. <br />
<br />
The Father called His firstborn (in heaven and on earth) Son SALVATION according to His mission. <br />
<br />
Now look how clear (outside common Christian theology) is the Scripture: <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><b>When He is revealed to all Jews in latter days</b></span><br />
[Zechariah 12:10] I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><b>Mary the vessel God chose for His physical Son</b></span><br />
[Luke 2:7] And she gave birth to her <b>firstborn son</b>; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.<br />
<br />
[Luke 2:23] (It is written in the Law of the Lord, “EVERY <b>firstborn</b> MALE THAT OPENS THE WOMB SHALL BE CALLED HOLY TO THE LORD”),<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><b>How can “the only” begotten be God when God was never conceived, begotten or born? </b></span><br />
[Romans 8:29] For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be <b>the firstborn among many brethren</b>.<br />
<br />
[Colossians 1:15; 18] He is the image of the invisible God, <b>the firstborn of all creation</b>. [18] He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, <b>the firstborn from the dead,</b> so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.<br />
<br />
[Hebrews 1:6; 11:28; 12:23] And when He again brings <b>the firstborn</b> into the world, He says, “AND LET ALL THE ANGELS OF GOD WORSHIP HIM.” [11:28] By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that he who destroyed the firstborn would not touch them. [12:23] The general assembly and church of <b>the firstborn</b> who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect.<br />
<br />
Now that we have established the indisputable fact that Jesus came from God as His first Son then the firstborn must have siblings. On earth Jesus had brothers and sisters, in whom they initially did not believe (John 7:5), but later they did. When Jesus rose from the dead they believed in the firstborn their brother. This is explained with this verse: <br />
<br />
[John 20:17] Jesus said to her, “Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I ascend to <b>My Father</b> and <b>your Father</b>, and <b>My God</b> and <b>your God</b>.’” <br />
<br />
The pivotal point was His resurrection after which He clearly declared to us that we are His siblings, and if so then we are God’s children; and therefore according to the words of Jesus, also gods. It is hard for many to swallow this truth because hardly anyone wants to come out from religion, which is an appearance of godliness devoid of substance. That substance is not our “own” imaginary thing but God’s Truth. <br />
<br />
[John 10:34-36] Jesus answered them, “Has it not been written in your Law, ‘I SAID, YOU ARE GODS’? [35] If <b>He called them gods</b>, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken). [36] 36 do you say of Him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? <br />
<br />
The mission of Yeshua was to save, which means to make whole; to heal and restore what’s been lost. Hence, when He said to those who were ill “Only believe” He did not mean have faith in the possibility of being healed, for the possibility (the IT) alone cannot heal you, but I (the person) can. So believe in Me the SAVIOR and Redeemer who buys back what’s been stolen or lost. Anyone who called Jesus the Son of David received a miracle, for the statement “Son of David” speaks of the Father’s revelatory disclosure as to who His Firstborn Son was. Only the Messiah was addressed by the title: Son of David. Hence these words: <br />
<br />
[Matthew 11:27] All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, <b>and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him</b>. <br />
<br />
The Father revealed the true mission of His Son to the two blind men who hollered after Jesus all the way from Jericho to Jerusalem.<br />
<br />
[Matthew 20:30-31] And two blind men sitting by the road, hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, <b>Son of David</b>!” The crowd sternly told them to be quiet, but they cried out all the more, “Lord, <b>Son of David</b>, have mercy on us!” <br />
<br />
If you attribute to Yeshua the YAH or YOH then why not to John whose Hebrew name is YOH-ANAN? <br />
<br />
God will not leave unpunished those who take His Name in vain. For this reason the rabbis were right in shielding the Name, this is a very old tradition. The Essenes and the scribes who copied the Scripture whenever they came to the writing the of God’s Holy Name they went to take a mikveh, washing off all sweat, which God hates, and put on a set of fresh linen clothes and then reverently wrote the Tetragrammaton YHVH.<br />
<br />
[Ezekiel 44:18] Linen turbans shall be on their heads and linen undergarments shall be on their loins; <b>they shall not gird themselves with anything which makes them sweat</b>.<br />
<br />
For this reason Jerusalem was also chosen and the airy Mt Moriah for the Temple. <br />
<br />
Those who have assumed that Yahweh is the name of the Almighty Father are wrong. It is not, and I won’t even elaborate on this because if I did I would be liable of a trespass and held accountable for it, but fools do that without any thought.<br />
<br />
Jews do not casually write any Name of God. This practice does not come from the commandment not to take the LORD’S Name in vain. This commandment refers solely to an oath taking, a prohibition against swearing by God's Name falsely, L’SHUA or in falsehood.<br />
<br />
Judaism does not prohibit writing the Name of God per se; it prohibits only erasing or defacing a Name of God. However, observant Jews avoid writing any Name of God casually because of the risk that the written Name might later be defaced, obliterated or even accidentally destroyed by someone who does not know any better. Yet too many ignorant fools dare to do this. My responsibility is to tell you to not do that in my presence. If you want to suffer and die from accidents, famines and epidemics then that’s your foolish choice, but don’t even try to bless me using the NAME.<br />
<br />
The commandment not to erase or deface the name of God comes from Deuteronomy 12:3 where the Israelites were commanded to destroy all things related to the idolatrous religions of Canaan. God’s zeal for the holiness of His name is so great that all local deities were to be obliterated. Immediately afterwards, we are commanded not to do the same to our God. From this, the rabbis inferred that we are commanded not to destroy any holy thing, and not to erase or deface God’s Name. <br />
<br />
Now, why should we not heed this? There is no blessing in playing with God’s name, but only a curse. I would advise anyone and everyone who comes in contact with those who ignorantly use the Tetragrammaton the wrong way to also advise them, and even sternly warn them about the danger they are in. It is only for their good. The fear of God brings peace and its opposites bring, yes the opposite of peace. Hence the Aaronic blessing carries the blessing of peace, but only Aaron and his sons were told to do that, no one else. Since we may speculate as to who is directly descended from Aaron it is better to seek the LORD and not go after some mystical blessing. Blessing, blessing… propagated by foolish preachers who excite only the natural senses of the hungry-for-blessing people as if to be blessed is holiness in itself. Are you a hunter of blessings? Is your shotgun loaded with all the tricks of the (religious) trade? Who taught you to shoot blank bullets?<br />
<br />
The Hebrew language does not have the letter “W” but “V” and “U” which is exchangeable within the flow of a sentence. YEHEE means: has been, HAYA means: is; and HOVE means will be or He who comes. Yahu-Ha-Yahu-Ha-“Y” - this letter starts the first, endlessly so. It is given to some, but secretly and so it should be kept. It should never be written on paper or on social media like Facebook or anywhere else. It is secret and private. The name holds secrets of the double edge sword, one edge cuts while the other heals and blesses. Anyone who just licked a little knowledge and assumes that it is okay to casually use God’s name draws the cutting edge of God’s Name to him or herself. People needlessly die and needlessly fall ill and die. It would have been better for them to never encounter any teaching regarding the NAME.<br />
<br />
The safest way is to use ADONAY the LORD, and within your heart know and meditate on God’s name, but only within your heart and as long as He has revealed it to you. If you pick up something from outside and try to be smart the warning remains. <br />
<br />
Some people render the four-letter Name as "Jehovah," but this is even worse. The word "Jehovah" comes from the fact that ancient Jewish texts used to put the vowels of the Name ADONAY (the usual substitute for YHVH) under the consonants of YHVH to remind people not to pronounce YHVH as written. A sixteenth century German scribe, while transliterating the Bible into Latin for the Pope, wrote the Name out as it appeared in his texts, with the consonants of YHVH and the vowels of ADONAY, and came up with the word JeHoVaH ("J" is pronounced "Y" in German), and the name stuck. <br />
<br />
The fascination with the NAME for all must stop; otherwise it will not go well with anyone who keeps up and even propagates this fascination. There are people with mental problems who want to elevate themselves and their phony and questionable ministries; as a result they have gotten worse. There is no reversal of any misfortune that comes from the misuse and abuse of God’s Holy Name. There is only a warning with consequences following. <br />
<br />
<b>The reason why the NAME is shielded </b><br />
<br />
Over time the people of God saw many problems stemming from this forbidden practice. The cabalist Yitzhak Luria started this dangerous practice of permutations. While in Yeshiva I met those who told me how they got entangled in the Cabalistic permutations of God’s Name. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4ZTMTxbtsUZzIPmakgo2At495yF_zh6-Cv6A52ccB2gorf-pSLa5evXbJuT6FtXFVWiAJFWNXkEWWif9adZb8qfVmUDkSt8lVlnE7jXD7pVdL8KxRGepjutkrnRQWsGVp_aqcbz_6d7M/s1600/Rabi_isaac_luria.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4ZTMTxbtsUZzIPmakgo2At495yF_zh6-Cv6A52ccB2gorf-pSLa5evXbJuT6FtXFVWiAJFWNXkEWWif9adZb8qfVmUDkSt8lVlnE7jXD7pVdL8KxRGepjutkrnRQWsGVp_aqcbz_6d7M/s1600/Rabi_isaac_luria.jpg" /></a></div>
Luria’s Cabala often refers to Messianism and is believed that his Messianic ideas paved the way for the false Messiah, Shabbetai Zvi. <br />
<br />
Luria died in an epidemic in the summer of 1572 and was buried in Safed. The epidemic broke out exactly on August 5 that year and it is recorded in history. Nothing this sudden is of gradual or natural causes. There is nothing natural in our Universe. Everything is supernatural. We just have closed ourselves to it with our sophistication and pompous pride. We the worms and the dust dare to act as gods on our own without the Almighty God. Our pride and foolishness have no boundaries and there is no wisdom in our tracks. Since Luria was the main authority of that time in that place, he drew God’s wrath and caused the epidemic. Well, you might say epidemics, famines, and plagues come and go so it does not necessarily mean that it was caused by Luria. Would you want to take your chances on that? If you are willing to gamble on your rationale then you go ahead and do that, but I know that when the head of a cast, group or tribe or an entire nation breaches God’s personal commandment then the head and his followers will suffer. Anyone breaking Deuteronomy 18:9-14, even unaware, bears the consequences.<br />
<br />
David was not supposed to count Israel and Joab told him so (2 Samuel 24:1-4) but the king's word prevailed. From verses 15-25 we read about the plague caused by one man the leader of the nation, yet needlessly so. <br />
<br />
Today people lack the fear of God. They do not know what it is; so as result they suffer and die. However, there is the secret of life, health and immortality, and I have it... but that's another subject.<br />
<br />
Fools do not study God, but make up theology of their own and mislead others with their imaginations. Hardly anyone loves God for if anyone did truly love God he or she would know Him and His ways much better than it is today. No lover of God would ever dare to play with His Holy Name. <br />
<br />
There are many commandments, but one is very personal and most holy and that is God’s holy Name. Just as there were famines and plagues all over the world, men are the cause because man’s stewardship of the planet is vain, selfish and hence foolish. Anything out of line with God’s will evokes consequences. <br />
<br />
[John 5:42] “I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves”—Jesus.<br />
<br />
Anyone who truly loves God would respect Him and keep His commandments. But as it is today we choose what we like or dislike and the rest we put under the curse of the law, just because it suits us. Wretched souls, when will you learn? Love is not selfish nor a lip service, official service or a ceremony.<br />
<br />
Theoretical Cabalists meditated on the Name of God for spiritual insight. Often this took the form of studying "permutations" of YHVH to gain esoteric knowledge about God. This is a form of Gnosticism or "theosophy." Cabalists attempted to use the NAME to sort of "magically" affect the physical and supernatural worlds. Often this took the form of inscribing the NAME on amulets and other artifacts to ward off curses. This form of occultism was plainly forbidden by the TORAH (Leviticus 19:31; 20:6; 20:27). But this was done in self-defense. In a similar way King David borrowed from the Philistines the style of transport for the Ark of the Covenant. People died, and unnecessarily so; because David did not bother to learn that the Ark was never to be transported on a brand new cart and drawn by two milking cows; but was to be carried on the Levite’s shoulders. Ignorant Philistines uncured plagues. Uzza died by the LORD’S fire and everything stopped. Back to the study house of God’s ways… <br />
<br />
While living in Jerusalem I came in contact with many students of the Cabala who told me that many of their friends are in mental hospitals. According to their reports they went too far. Also many cabalist rabbis lost their minds and landed in psychiatric wards where they remain to this day. I went through Cabala, but never practiced anything for I was not lost; nor was I after any spiritual aggrandizement. I found it not only dangerous but something that appeals only to an overblown ego completely exalting the self. When you crank up the self with all its egotistical attributes you rip the straight and healthy psychological fabric. And that’s what happened to many already. How many must die or go crazy before we learn God’s ways and not just our own presumptions and vain imaginations about Him?<br />
<br />
<b>In closing</b><br />
<br />
[Hebrews 10:30-31] For we know Him who said, “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY.” And again, “THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE.” [31] It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.<br />
<br />
It is the loving voice of the Almighty God your Father, who is not religious, ritualistic or mystical in any way. He is normal. God is not complicated in any way. His ways are simple.<br />
<br />
[Isaiah 35:8] A highway will be there, a roadway, and it will be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean will not travel on it, but it will be for him who walks that way, and fools will not wander on it.<br />
<br />
[Matthew 7:14] For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.<br />
<br />
Are you one of the few or one of the many? Why complicating the simple? Children are simple and honest, but they cannot become adults by will. But we can use our will to humble the pride of this life and become as simple as children, because such is our God and His Kingdom. Only in this simplicity we know God as He really is. <br />
<br />
I am blessed to know Him as He is. If you believe me then you will also study me; and you are more than welcome. You will soon find out the truth if I have pretended or I speak the truth. <br />
<br />
[Matthew 18:3-4] Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. [4] Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.<br />
<br />
Please don’t fall for the sophistication of man’s foolishness.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
[PUZZLING THOUGHTS] For those lost in ignorance my heart often aches, but it aches even more for their unwillingness to gain the knowledge of truth. Clothed in a cloak of hate against their imaginary foe, whom they do not know in truth, but in assumptions—ancient superstitions their fathers passed down to them. Their DNA strands are tightly entwined with fears of the unknown and unexplained. These fears drive their train into a vague destination. Why can’t they let go of the soup of folly delusion has cooked for them? <br />
<br />
[YHVH THE LORD] “I have beckoned them to My single heart and My single mind, but they chose fragments of isolated verses from the book they call My Word, yet they keep choosing but isolated verses and write their own bibles. The many confusing versions of superstitions that have been passed down to them; have sealed their minds, blinding them to the bright light of truth” <br />
<br />
[MAN] What if there is that roaming rabid dog biting the unsuspected? What if there is the roaring lion that seeks to devour. I must defend myself and seek my shelter. Who is that lion and why does he roar? Why devour and what? These minuses in my mind; fears of the unknown and unexplained; devour me more than the brightly shining light of truth. <br />
<br />
[THE LORD] I have sent my sons the prophets to make you forsake man’s fear producing inventions. Man intimidates for his flesh itches to subdue, to tie you up and hold you like a fly on a string. Each time he lets you fly higher he pulls the string by his prevailing desire, back and down to earth; away from heaven’s freedom. I have sent you wise men and those who inspire you with My Truth, but since you have heard something like this before; your superstitious mind pulls you back to the old frame of mind. <br />
<br />
Pews and seats must be filled and the mammon must float upon the water. There is something of a much greater value man fears to lose—between the purity of My Truth stands a ministry with its earthly structure. That is the extent of man’s love for Me—Says the LORD.<br />
<br />
[SCRIPTURE] <i>[Matthew 23:34] Therefore, behold, I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city.</i><br />
<br />
[TRUTH] What will you do when Satan, as if of his own accord (common theology), comes to you? Will you run to the crucified pleading and begging? Will you be declaring the power of His blood and reassure yourself that you are in Him who died for you? Will you tremble and sweat because of the alarming and wrecking havoc on your nerves thoughts? Where is the promised peace of John 14:27, which is not of this world; hence, of what world? Do you know the heavenly peace, and the way of peace?<br />
<br />
[SCRIPTURE] <i>[John 5:19; 30] “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner. [30] I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.</i><br />
<br />
How much more Satan who is under God’s strict control cannot do anything on his own? Do not fear the District Attorney, but soberly understand the prosecutor in the court of law. Be cool in this regard.<br />
<br />
The mystery is no mystery, yet man’s hidden interest makes mysteries. Man must protect his well-developed and well-established theology and its binding ways. They can’t let go of their folly, with which they have let themselves astray; in which they seek company. They seated themselves in lofty seats subjugating others under their control with nothing else but fear of the unknown and grossly misunderstood.<br />
<br />
Man always seeks to bind and God always seek to free, but regrettably man’s choices get in His way.<br />
<br />
[NIGHT FELLOWSHIP] As I went to sleep I spoke with the LORD about several things, some things He told me about; as to how things will unfold and in what period of time, but about something there was silence and pause, but instead He painted a picture.<br />
<br />
This morning I got up with this realization: early in my life I took the risky way of independence and freedom, which for some would seem impossible. I have received much grace and and also a prophetic vision. When I was just 14 the LORD said, "You will thank Me in the future" which was not so near, but more than 40 years later. He clearly told me to trust Him. From this He taught me His omniscience and sovereignty and that He holds all things under His (100%) control. Although I was still in a dualistic frame of mind He planted the seed of His oneness in me. <br />
<br />
Today, I look at my old friends who chose man's organizations and their structures and yes... they are stuck in them, but I am totally free. My journey was harder, but I won. The LORD showed me their state for which I am sad, but I can't do anything about it because even though I can set them free, but I already know well that I would be unsuccessful. <br />
<br />
For economical or earthly security reasons; they cannot break away. They know what state they are in, they may be a bit envious of my total freedom, but they can't afford the same. That is the source of my sadness.<br />
<br />
[TODAY] Today my heart stopped aching just as the heart of Jesus did: after He talked so much with the pharisees there was a moment when He left them alone as blind leaders of the blind.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #7f6000;">[Matthew 15:12-14] Then the disciples came and said to Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this statement?” [13] But He answered and said, “Every plant which My heavenly Father did not plant shall be uprooted. [14] Let them alone; they are blind guides of the blind. And if a blind man guides a blind man, both will fall into a pit." </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Human blood – God’s mirror</b><br />
<br />
God is Life. Only humans were created according to that Life’s image and likeness, “Tselem” to reflect Him; so how does God see us?<br />
<br />
Anything living has His life, but does not reflect nor mirrors Him the way we do. Any attempt to humanize animals is futile. Anyone crossing the line between humans and animals is in grave danger. The Canaanites did this and copulated with animals as those in the pornographic industry do today. This longing—to identify with animals and feel them like we ought to feel people, even more, the Creator—takes people away from the Father. Plainly said, it is the flesh identification with flesh creatures instead of identifying with God the Spirit.<br />
<br />
God the Spirit extended Himself to us by giving us a resemblance or a copy of Himself. We are spiritual copies of God having free will and free choice, knowing what's good and what is not. This addition God also created after making the physical enclosures, <i>"Now that man has become one of us knowing good and evil..." </i>(Gen. 3:22). In this aspect man was sent out from the Garden to exercise that divinely empowered will. God's Spirit dwells in our physical enclosures as His gift for the duration of your earthly sojourning. When the physical enclosure passes on (dies) the spirit of life then exits that enclosure and returns to its origin <br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>[Ecclesiastes 12:7] The spirit will return to God who gave it.</i><br />
<br />
On the spiritual side, eternal death erases all existence, created or born. On the physical side corpses decay in graves or are cremated; so the residue are bones or ashes. But on the timeless side a soul may be erased from memory as if it had never existed in the first place.<br />
<br />
The traditional rendition of hell is not perpetual, but an instant erasing fire for there is neither any burnable matter nor time. Eternity is a moment, but only to us; for time does not play any role over there, nor does gravity, light or darkness. God is the divine light. All experiences of either heaven or hell are subjective. <i>As one thinks within himself so he is</i> (Proverbs 23:7). This mentality cannot express the heavenly site with words, but only symbolically. Whatever has already entered the mind on earth that frame can only hold but a familiar picture. <br />
<br />
Essentially, it is the soul that makes up a human being. The soul’s apparatus involves emotions, which are always sent to the brain, which in turn processes these signals, or not. Many, if not most people, act on an impulse instead the reason; so their brains do not sort out their emotions' caliber and their aim. By urges of greed, hate, malice or sexual lust; people commit crimes like stealing, committing adultery, perversions, rapes, bestiality and killing. The list is long. When the examination of emotions fails and the brain is not trained in morality; immorality is the outcome.<br />
<br />
<i>[Ezekiel 18:4] The soul who sins will die.</i><br />
<br />
Confusion also occurs when our souls blend with the animal souls, emotionally. This sympathy for animals may cross some boundaries and the result is this: one begins to dislike people because the love for animals is stronger. After disliking comes despising, even hating, and then comes self-righteousness; so strong that to pull one away from it; seems impossible.<br />
<br />
The third aspect is the neshamah (untranslatable), which is divine, this life-soul vivifies the blood. Although blood is a physical substance—and science has already produced synthetic blood—it is also spiritual in humans, but not in animals. (Some humans do not have neshamah).<br />
<br />
ARTIFICIAL BLOOD <br />
<br />
In the midst of news that engineered organs are being implanted into animals and people, researchers announce the creation of artificial blood for transplant.<br />
<br />
[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_substitute" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>] A blood substitute (also called artificial blood or blood surrogates) is a substance used to mimic and fulfill some functions of biological blood. It aims to provide an alternative to blood transfusion, which is transferring blood or blood-based products from one person into another. Thus far, there are no well-accepted oxygen-carrying blood substitutes, which are the typical objective of a red blood cell transfusion; however, there are widely available non-blood volume expanders for cases where only volume restoration is required. These are helping doctors and surgeons avoid the risks of disease transmission and immune suppression, address the chronic blood donor shortage, and address the concerns of Jehovah's Witnesses and others who have religious objections to receiving transfused blood.<br />
<br />
The main categories of 'oxygen-carrying' blood substitutes being pursued are hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOC) and perfluorocarbon-based oxygen carriers (PFBOC). Oxygen therapeutics is in clinical trials in the U.S. and Europe, and Hemopure is available in South Africa [end Wikipedia]. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br /></div>
[Source: <a href="http://www.the-scientist.com/?articles.view/articleNo/39718/title/Artificial-Blood-Is-Patient-Ready/" target="_blank">The Scientist</a>] “We have made red blood cells that are fit to go in a person’s body,” project leader Marc Turner, medical director at SNBTS, told Forbes. “Before now, we haven’t really had that.”<br />
<br />
The blood is created by differentiating fibroblasts from an adult donor and reprogramming them into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), which are then cultured in a bone-marrow-like environment for a month. Blood cells are then extracted from the cell culture [end source].<br />
<br />
BLOOD'S PERSONALITY <br />
<br />
Although this newly engineered blood is not completely synthetic. It cannot substitute the real blood. It can only be used as a volumizer. The real blood has the power to overpower anything else it comes in contact with; it can grow and multiply and eradicate any disease. Therefore human blood possess tremendous power.<br />
<br />
When Jesus said that He lays down His life - of His own accord (John 10:18); He was going to relinquish the Ben Adam (Son of Man, [Heb.] human) blood for the atonement. Since Jesus is our Intercessor; and in Him we are seated in heavenly places; it so by means of His blood covering. The Father looks at the triumphant and glorious blood (life) of Jesus, which constantly arrests God's holy wrath while we keep on receiving abundant grace. We live under this wonderful grace; hence, we are saved.<br />
<br />
<i>[1Thessalonians 1:10] (…) to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come. </i><br />
<br />
Salvation from the wrath to come gives us grace, which means time and space in which we grow, attain and overcome. Without the giving up of His life; Jesus could not atone, cover nor absorb God's holy wrath. God is love.<br />
<br />
The religious masses (e.g., mostly Catholic) are content with the basics of
the church's prescriptions. Holy Mass, confessional, going to church, or
at least for Christmas, Ash Wednesday or Easter etc, these are enough.
The Catholic people do not long for more. They are satisfied. Most people are content with just being saved, so they dwell under grace; they love God's grace, which was given for salvation. Others long for more than just the saving grace. Still others discover that there is no physical death. Then comes a shock and then you dig deeper and get over that initial shock. The stages of discovery occur by the Holy Spirit's guidance, leadership an actions. <br />
<br />
Now that this is clear we can also understand the mission and ministry of the Holy Spirit, which came to teach, guide and remind us; again, until we attain (Eph. 4:13), overcome (Rev, 3:21) and become perfect (Mat. 5:48). Just believing in His guidance, without actually experiencing it, is futile.<br />
<br />
Science studies only traceable substances, chemicals and gases like the oxygen carrying blood cells. Just as our bodies enclose life, which is not a chemical structure; for oxygen (O) is not life; neither is water (HO2). In order to function these chemical components must be infused with life. The Spirit of Life comes and goes; so how can we keep it forever? Life is priceless. This life runs through our veins right now. And while you read about it you also augment your comprehension, imagination and perception. You infuse your own blood with much more than just "O" or "HO2." <br />
<br />
<i>[Genesis 4:10] Your brother’s blood is crying to Me from the ground.</i><br />
<br />
Blood's personality can be modified through our thinking, words and behavior. When hurt, blood cries and when blessed, blood thanks. Because the Spirit of Life inhabits our blood; it acts like a spy, even as the all-knowing mind. God's Spirit mirrors and reflects any reality in you via your blood. God knows with what you feed your soul, something that is beneficial or harmful. Via the nervous system the soul transmits to the brain the things it emanates. In turn your brain keeps wiring and connecting. When there is falsehood, something that does not fully square with the original divine intent, which is the heavenly truth, the brain processes adverse information. Anything that does not make for peace is but a disconnected fragment. Hence, believing in something only without the proper information; as to what is true and what is false only divides and fragments that which came form the One. This explains unrest, restless thoughts, worries and concerns, but never over the right now, but over the tomorrow. People who carry the same properties will feed you with restlessness and with the no-peace-carrying words. They do this in order to sway your attention toward them and to what they want to tell you. You have the freedom and even the right to dis-concern yourself, check out and then shift into a neutral gear. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Stick to the peace path at any cost. Cling to the God of Peace and never to the God of war. Avoid sensationalism. </span></b></span></div>
<br />
In religion we have doctrines that make no sense and yet we believe and hold on to them. And when something true, logical and perfectly making sense comes our way; we drastically slow down and even oppose the new. <i>Being slow of heart to understand</i> (Luke 24:25) - to accept the truth, which is plain, simple and abundantly available to us today. That's the human folly.<br />
<br />
The reasons for this folly are also plain. We prize volume, numbers, fame and prestige above the truth, and this your blood also registers, and God sees it. Just as He sees an invader, a virus or bacteria, He also sees your feelings-producing thoughts and their caliber. Therefore, when His judgment falls it is super-righteous. Based on this knowledge His compassion is way above any human empathy, which is powerless, but God's compassion contains the healing power (Mat. 14:14).<br />
<br />
Jesus knew what people thought; how much more the Creator of mankind knows all things? His realm contains no time, no night and day's intervals, no fragments and no secrets. This can be frightful to some who have convinced themselves that they are able to keep secrets all to themselves. In this way we have imagined that Lucifer secretly plotted against God and upon this discovery God expelled him from heaven along with the allegedly subordinated to him angels. Expelled out of what and into where? What region? How far did they fall? Mixing physical distances like height with space-less realm of heaven is ludicrous, but that's what religion is; a mixture of matter and imaginations about the spiritual things. In John 3:6 Jesus said to Nicodemus,<i> "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." </i>No mixture - two separate tracks.<br />
<br />
ADAM, DAM, ADOM & ADAMAH<br />
<br />
The name Adam encloses the word DAM, which means blood. ADOM means red, from which word comes Edom. Like Easu, their forefather, the Edomites were reddish; and David was partially an Edomite. This reddish look is frequently found among the Judeans (Jews) and Cohanim (Cohen, priestly family).<br />
<br />
Adamah means earth (ground) as opposed to HaAaretz the world, and Eretz means a land or a country. The world Jesus called the Field. In this field God hid His own treasure, which are His prodigal children to be found by His Firstborn Son. Jesus' parables explain these heavenly facts.<br />
<br />
Some have that awareness of being His treasure while others do not, and any expressed malice betrays that other negative reality. They feel inferior so they seek to elevate themselves by some imaginary means and their theories: like the Aryan race vs. the Jewish race, etc. There were some gentiles who got converted to Judaism who infused their "Aryan" mentality into their now newly found Jewish identity.<br />
<br />
In Jesus' time many of the Pharisees where converted to Judaism Greeks. As a result they wrote nonsense according to their imaginary reality. Evil fruit comes from an evil person. Bigotry, conceit and prejudice come from the same source. <br />
<br />
In Israel the ground is reddish due to its iron content, which is rust, which is also found in Jerusalem's lime stones. <br />
<br />
As God knows all things intimately and extremely precisely; we know too, but only by facts like people's words and actions. <i>"By their fruits you will know them."</i> This expression (Mat. 7:16) signifies something I call a 'characteristic betrayal.' People "betray" their true identity by what they think, say and the way they behave. On Facebook you read what people say. Some educate while others blabber things that neither lift your spirit up nor give you something that you can practice and benefit from. What occupies such people's thoughts are malice and prejudice, or love and care. Thus we choose one or the other, and by these choices we are known to God who sees it all before they are outwardly expressed; and to us, when we read or hear them.<br />
<br />
<i>[Matthew 12:34] You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak what is good? For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart. </i><br />
<br />
All these things reside in your blood along with the red and white cells. The white cells act like the defense forces against invaders. Once they overcome, then peace returns to your blood, and then to your entire life as a human being. Without the infusion of blood, no intelligence is possible. Therefore blood always carries new powers, inspirations and revelations thus energizing you. When you have to defend yourself and you are on an offensive; your blood behaves according to these factors. I personally know this and I keep my cool by allowing God's peace to rule over my being; and my blood thanks me for it.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Blood at peace is a healthy blood.</span></span></div>
<br />
Overall, the energy of life comes from the Spirit of Life, which eventually wants to completely take over your life. That means: the Spirit of Life is in your body to stay forever. The question is this: do you want to relinquish any rights and eventually also your will? Rights to your "own" self, like saying, "this is my life and I'll do with it whatever I wish? Or, that 'this is my own body' in case of a contemplated abortion? - All humans are born through women God's most honored and chosen vessels; hence no one owns anything, especially not our bodies; for they are not ours but the Creator's from A to Z. <br />
<br />
This true mission and intent of the Spirit of Life is to keep you alive. All used-up blood properties, which have released their energy, are spent and die, and then they are eliminated as a waste. And then new blood cells are born, replenishing any depletion. This perpetual renewal is indefinite. <br />
<br />
With each new birth and creation of blood also comes something brand new, something creative, refreshing and renewing. New thought and new inspiration. Think about it and wait for it. It will surely come. All I do is give an idea, like a frame ready to receive a picture.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Through this renewing process our blood can also become transmutable. It already has eternal properties to which most do not pay any attention. That is the reason why they do not know how to give up self or surrender to the One who gave them life in the first place.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><b>[Mark 8:35] For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it.</b></span><br />
<br />
When blood is burdened with too many medical chemicals it has a hard time renewing itself. Not only chemicals, but also alcohol, yeast (bread) and animal fats burden your blood. All things must be used according to what the body really needs, not in excess. So listen to your blood for it will tell you what it needs and also how it is being satisfied. All things are beneficial, but in small amounts.<br />
<br />
When you do not feel well your creativity and energy is down. Then comes the cycle of being busy with only your physical health; and only your physical enclosure; and not with what it encloses.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Self-identity holds on to self as if one made it all by him or herself. By letting go; one finds something new that was not known before. The more you taste of the new the more you want it; thus you accelerate your progress. </span></span> </div>
<br />
BLOOD IN HEAVEN<br />
<br />
<i>[Hebrews 9:11-12] But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation. [12] And not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.</i><br />
<br />
Commonly, Hebrews 9:12 is being rendered as if Jesus took His own blood to heaven and sprinkled it on the heavenly altar. This dispels logical thinking with which we should not only read the Bible, but also understand God the Spirit. This mix produces but only religion and abstract form of a belief. John 8:31-32 gives us the understanding that after you have believed or have accepted someone as being true, and what that some says as being the truth; then you must continue, become a disciple; only then you will KNOW the Truth; and then the Truth will make you free. But free from what? Of course, from the confines of this abstract, unsubstantiated and fruitless religious form of believing.<br />
<br />
A substantiated believing leads to knowledge that in turn conditions your thinking, which in turn orders your behavior. This improved and filled with light behavior is the substance of your faith. In this substance you will find physical healing, restoration, new and more intelligent thoughts; while your overall disposition changes. Enoch walked with God and God took him. But before God took him alive, to the spiritual domain we call heaven; Enoch knew that he had pleased God (Heb. 11:15). God’s Spirit within Enoch bore witness; and based on that witness Enoch knew. The Holy Spirit reveals to us what is to come; hence, Enoch knew ahead of time what would happen to him; that is why he had completed his walk.<br />
<br />
What Jesus "sprinkled" was His life (which resides in the blood) on the heavenly alter that was His transformed and most glorious life force. Jesus took His life and defeated death. His Spirit of Life was pregnant with the atoms of victory and with unspeakable glory. This He brought to the Father, which was instant. He did not climb up the sky like a rocket, (but a cloud obscured Him from view, Acts 1:9-11). The kingdom of heaven is here, in us and amongst us. <br />
<br />
There is no alter in heaven, nor menorah or the Ark of the Covenant; these things are only earthly symbols and shadows. There is no religion in heaven, no rituals, no ceremonies and no pious processions. (Jeremiah 3:15-16) and this God wants you to understand it, and then He wants you to quit all forms of futile piety. <br />
<br />
FAITH'S SUBSTANCE<br />
<br />
<i>[Hebrews 11:1] Now faith is the substance (assurance) of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.</i><br />
<br />
Here is the Greek text: Ἔστιν δὲ πίστις ἐλπιζομένων ὑπόστασις, πραγμάτων ἔλεγχος οὐ βλεπομένων. [Transliteration] Estin de pistis elpizomenwn upostasis pragmatOn elegchos ou blepomenOn.<br />
<br />
<i>Is yet a belief (faith) of being expected, understanding or having an assumption of practices or matters, exposing or having the conviction of, not being (physically) looked at or observed. </i><br />
<br />
My sense: faith is expected when one studies and understands the initially assumed matters by exposing (hidden truths) and by gaining an inner (spiritual) conviction of something that is not material or physical (but spiritual).<br />
<br />
In John 16:13 Jesus said that the Spirit of Truth would teach and guide us into ALL the truth, not just 99%, but 100%. So, eventually we will know all things in truth without assumptions.<br />
<br />
In 1Corinthians 13:9-12 apostle Paul said, <i>“For we know in part and we prophesy in part; [10] but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away. [11] When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man; I did away with childish things. [12] For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, *but then I will know fully (100%) just as I also have been fully known.”</i><br />
<br />
Faith comes (Romans 10:17). It is God’s gift (1Corinthians 12:9). Besides faith being the gift it is also the Spirit of Faith.<br />
<br />
<i>[2 Corinthians 4:13] But having the same <b>spirit of faith</b>, according to what is written, “I BELIEVED, THEREFORE I SPOKE,” we also believe; therefore we also speak.</i><br />
<br />
So again, heaven is next to you, it is an immediate proximity and not billions of light-years away. The veil is unveiled first by faith and its confirmation – the knowledge of the complete truth. Enoch walked with God so long until his 50% gradually turned into 100%.<br />
<br />
GROWING IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HEAVENLY TRUTH <br />
<br />
*Growing in the knowledge of truth brings us to the point of knowing just as we are known. It’s a journey, which I have embarked on early in my life; and now I beckon you to do the same.<br />
<br />
Jesus had an interchangeable living body; living by means of the blood His heart was distributing this new divine life-force; by which also He was transmuted. He appeared and disappeared, He ate and had to digest food, and yet; He could abide in two realms. The same is for us. As a start we must understand blood.<br />
<br />
Just as our blood carries the life-force and vivifies not only our bodies physically, but also our intellect, so the same do words that come from heaven. The man-made artificial blood only mimics the real blood, but what it lacks is the inspirational aspect of the Spirit of Life.<br />
<br />
You can be biologically quite normal, but not spiritually. The more you dwell on things divine the more impregnated with the Spirit of Life your blood will be, which then stirs your neshamah (also known as the Divine Soul or a realm of divine inspiration). <b> </b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><b>Nephesh Bahamit (animal soul) relates only to the blood's biological aspect; while the life-force stirs Nephesh Elokit (Divine Soul) in our physical enclosures.</b></span><br />
<br />
Whichever takes preeminence determines the outcome. One is a bunch of nonsense some call spirituality, and another completely fleshly and natural thinking, not understanding anything about the right-within-us and the next-to-us spiritual realm (heaven). It is as close as a speck of dust on the tip of your nose. So train your mind to think in terms of the present and the now.<br />
<br />
PEACEMAKERS' GLORY <br />
<br />
The planet Earth longs for peacemakers who are God’s sons. Synchronize these verses starting with the mission of the Spirit of Truth in John 16:13 then Matthew 5:9 and Romans 8:14 & 19. Instead, we talk about the Antichrist as if we can't wait to see him, the beast, false prophet, Armageddon, the four horses of the Apocalypse; these things excite, but only the natural senses. God sees it all, for it runs through your blood. This fleshly excitement robs your blood of other heavenly properties. Eventually the system is overloaded by being weighted down with fears of the unknown and still in the future.<br />
<br />
Naturally so, we want to know, in order to feel more secure or feel important. The longing for freedom, stability and the fear-dispelling knowledge must come not from man’s intimidating and jaw-dropping imaginations, but from the realm of peace, which is heaven. That which comes from below are: timidity, ignorance, and insecurity; fueled by speculations. These negative factors do not promote confidence, trust or peace, but something one must face as an enemy; hence, with a combative attitude. Humanity is lost in those combative sentiments, longing for true peace, but does not know how to obtain it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Glorious Peace Awaits You" border="0" height="320" src="https://luxum.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/1war_cover.jpg" width="220" /></div>
Worry is being fought like an enemy, illness is being fought and not healed with peace. People have more of the ‘against’ than the ‘for’ elements in their overall disposition. Instead of praying for; they pray against; instead of knowing and submitting; one interprets. Instead of trusting the Good Father; one makes theology about Him <br />
<br />
Did you choose to stand in the middle; between the Good God on the right; and the evil Satan on the left? If so, then you are the lord who decides who is who and who is doing what. You are in a war zone trying to help yourself. Once you get the Truth and get reformed you gradually step out from that war zone with all its negatives; and rise to the realm of the complete peace. No wonder that the Aaronic Benediction (Numbers 6:22-26) ends with Shalom (peace); the greatest blessing in the Universe, but that peace is not from this world (John 14:27); it is heavenly. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. Written records from over 4,000 years ago. Dr. Paolo Matthiae, Director of the Italian Archeological Mission in Syria, "hit an archeological jackpot" in 1975. He discovered "the greatest third-millennium [B.C.] archive ever unearthed." It included "more than 15,000 cuneiform tablets and fragments" and unveiled a Semitic empire that dominated the Middle East more than four thousand years ago. Its hub was Ebla, where educated scribes filled ancient libraries with written records of history, people, places and commerce.<br /> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"These early tablets display an ease of expression, an elegance that indicates complete mastery of the cuneiform system by the scribes," said Dr. Giovanni Pettinato, former epigraphist of the Italian Mission, who worked closely with Dr. Matthiae. "One can only conclude that writing had been in use at Ebla for a long time before 2500 B.C."<br /><br />The Ebla tablets verified the worship of pagan gods such as Baal, Dagan and Asherah "known previously only from the Bible."[5] They mention the name "Abraham" and "Ur of Chaldees" (the Biblical Abraham's birthplace) as well as other familiar cities and places:<br /><br /> "The names of cities thought to have been founded much later, such as Beirut and Byblos, leap from the tablets. Damascus and Gaza are mentioned, as well as two of the Biblical cities of the plain, Sodom and Gomorrah. ... Most intriguing of all are the personal names found on the Ebla tablets. They include Ab-ra-mu (Abraham), E-sa-um (Esau)...."<br /><br />Destroyed and rebuilt several times, Ebla began its final decline around 1800 B.C. Since new generations settled on top of the old ruins, it left behind a many-layered "TEL" (Looks like a flat-topped hill. Capitalized for emphasis) which archeologists will continue to explore for years to come.<br /><br />Centuries later, Moses was trained "in all the wisdom of the Egyptians" (Acts 7:22). Raised at Pharaoh's court, he would have learned to write on fragile papyrus as well as clay tablets. The 1988 discovery of the TEL el Amarna letters shows us that written messages were an important part of Moses' culture:<br /><br /> "...there were about 400 cuneiform tablets discovered at this site which were part of the royal archives of Amenhotep III and Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten) who reigned about 1400 BC. Among them were letters written in Babylonian cuneiform script to these Pharaohs of Egypt by various kings dwelling in the land of Canaan and Syria... written during the time of Moses [and Joshua]. They provide the first evidence of the Hebrew tribes entering into the land of Canaan in ancient times."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />That last sentence points to the completion of the Biblical Exodus -- the Israelite journey, led by Moses, out of bondage in Egypt toward the land God had promised them. Perhaps the "scholars" behind the PBS "documentary" simply chose to ignore the evidence. After all, politically correct deceptions are far more acceptable than facts to a world that no longer tolerates Truth. But that's all the more reason to be ready with answers to those who question our faith. The following archeological finds should help prepare us for the challenges ahead. <br /><br />2. The Hittite Empire: The Hittites are mentioned dozens of times in the Old Testament. Yet, a century ago,<br /><br /> "critics of Biblical historicity argued that the Bible's descriptions of the Hittite Empire were later insertions, since they were certain the Hittite Empire didn't exist.... But in 1906 archaeologists unearthed the Hittite capital and in the years following excavated what is now known to have been a massive and very prominent Hittite civilization."[7]<br /><br />3. The royal line of King David: Archeologists have found "the first known reference outside the Bible to the House of David, a ruling dynasty presumably founded by King David in the 10th century B.C." The stone fragment with these revealing inscriptions was found in the ruins of TEL Dan (in northern Israel). One "initial interpretation" is that a victorious king (probably Baasha) was documenting his battle against the king of the "House of David," probably Asa. According to the New York Times, this discovery "is strong independent evidence for the existence and influence of the House of David."[8] <br /><br />4. Cursive writing "an international means of communication": By the 10th century B.C. writing -- including Aramaic -- had become increasingly common. In spite of social divisions, many were learning to write:<br /><br /> "Though the clerk, the cultured person and the craftsman all used basically the same cursive script, there were decided stylistic differences. These may be classified as sub-styles of cursive and can be termed: (a) extreme cursive—that of the cultured person; (b) formal cursive—that of the professional scribe; and (c) vulgar cursive—that of persons of limited schooling....<br /><br /> "During the ninth and the first half of the eighth centuries, there is no evident distinction between Phoenician and Aramaic script; apparently, the Phoenician-Aramaic lapidary script was used for writing in ink as well.... The beginnings of Aramaic cursive and its rapid development are undoubtedly connected with the rise of the Aramaic language and script as an international means of communication."[9]<br /><br />5. King Sargon: The prophet Isaiah tells us that "Sargon, the king of Assyria, sent" his commander to fight "against Ashdod," a coastal city in ancient Israel. (Isaiah 20:1). Though Sargon is no household name, this verse fueled a controversy back in the early days of archeology. Some researchers had uncovered a stone obelisk with an engraved list of Assyrian kings. But it didn't include Sargon! So the University of Chicago announced that they saw a "glaring contradiction in the Bible." They were wrong! When Sargon's royal palace was excavated, researchers found his name engraved on numerous bricks in the palace walls -- along with boastful references to his conquest of Ashdod.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />6. The Philistine city, Ekron (now called TEL Miqne): This confirmation of Biblical accuracy was published by the Archaeological Institute of America:<br /><br /> "An inscription carved into a limestone slab found at TEL Miqne, 23 miles southwest of Jerusalem, confirms the identification of the site as Ekron, one of the five Philistine capital cities mentioned in the Bible. The inscription is unique because it contains the name of a biblical city and five of its rulers, two of whom are mentioned as kings in texts other than the Bible.... It also strengthens the identification of Ekron with a... city-state recorded in Assyrian texts of the seventh century B.C....<br /><br /> "In 712 B.C. this city was conquered by the Assyrian king Sargon II. For a short time, beginning in 705 B.C., it came under the control of Hezekiah, king of Judah.... In 603 B.C. the city was sacked by the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar."[11] <br /><br />When faced with the overwhelming Assyrian forces, Hezekiah prayed to God for His sovereign intervention. Before the great victory, he encouraged the people:<br /><br /> "Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid nor dismayed before the king of Assyria, nor before all the multitude that is with him; for there are more with us than with him. With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the Lord our God, to help us and to fight our battles.' And the people were strengthened by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah” 2 Chronicles 32:7-8.<br /><br />7. The Pool of Bethesda: "...liberal scholars, intent on maintaining their criticism of the Bible, claimed that the Gospel of John could not have been written" by the actual disciple. They argued that verses such as John 6:1 had to be wrong, since it refers to "five porches" at the Jerusalem's pool of Bethesda. But more recent excavations verified John's account:<br /><br /> "...approximately eight years ago archaeologists discovered underneath what they had previously thought was the earliest level at the site of Bethesda an older mikveh (pool) which had a fifth portico transecting it! One would hope that at some point the critics would concede the historical reliability of the biblical narrative."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />That's unlikely! Millar Burrows, the renowned Professor of Archaeology at Yale University, explained why:<br /><br /> "The excessive skepticism of many liberal theologians stems not from a careful evaluation of the available data, but from an enormous predisposition against the supernatural."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />The accuracy of the Biblical record has been proven again and again. As Dr. Joseph Free wrote, "Archaeology has confirmed countless passages which had been rejected by critics as unhistorical or contrary to known facts."12]</div>

Sarah</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
I
have been dating my boyfriend for 6 months now, and the only time I feel secure
is when I am with him. I want to go everywhere he goes, even if I really do not
enjoy what he, and his friends have planned. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
I
love to workout, but I will not go to the gym, until he has to go to work, or
be somewhere. I get so jealous about anything related to other women. I even
get upset, when I see a naked woman on TV. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
I am
sad that he will be starting college this semester. I am worried that he will
see beautiful college girls, and will want them, instead of me. Sometimes I
scroll through his cellphone, to see whom he has talked to throughout the day. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
He
has never cheated on me, and all the time gives me compliments, but I have
major issues with trust and insecurity. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
I
have such low self-esteem. I never want him to have "guy night"
because I want to know what he is doing all the time. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
I
know this behavior is unhealthy, but who can afford counseling these days? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
There
have been times that he was going to break up with me, and I thought my life
was over. I even had thoughts of suicide. Please help.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
I
don't know where else to write this, where I feel safe enough to express what
is going on in my head. It hurts so much it wants to explode.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
My
family is dysfunctional. My mother, who has never given a toss about me, she is
being abusive when she sees me, but usually indirectly, making out that I see
myself as above them all. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Her
recent words were that I was spoiled, and that I need to wake up. They don't
like the fact that I am living my life the way I want to, and do not wish to
live by their dysfunctional reigns of control.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Anyway,
I have been distancing myself for a while, and usually after a while, my mother
texts, me saying she misses me and how ‘am I’, etc. Usually this is after a
week. It's been 2 & 1/2 weeks now and no message. Instead, I hear how she
has been phoning my brother and they are all carrying on, as if I am not even
alive. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
It
hurts and I know I am doing the right thing by walking away, but at the same
time, after 30 years of my life, it hurts that my mother is letting me go. I
have no contact with anyone else. I used to only spend my free time around
them.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br />
Redirection
is the best way to cope with bouts of insecurity. Those who are insecure all
the time must be retrained. The habitual patterns of thinking, imagining and
visualizing must also be retrained, although it takes considerably longer to
achieve a lasting success.<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #7f6000;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #7f6000;">The insecurity
creating factors:</span></span></h3>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br />
1. Not taking responsibility and instinctively looking for someone else to blame. <br />
<br />
A. Upbringing, parents, school, society, country and its government.<br />
<br />
B. The primeval blame game tree has taken long roots and to poison those roots takes but a diluted solution of poison.<br />
<br />
C. As it is the case with weed killers; it does not take much of the solution to kill weeds all the way down to their roots. It takes sometimes a week before one sees the effect. Almost the same is with the urge to blame someone else. <br />
<br />
D. The urge to blame and be rid of the annoying guilt is almost automatic. Rational mind must face this reality and cope with it the hard way. <br />
<br />
2. In order to grow and mature we need to overcome obstacles. If we don’t overcome them; then the obstacles will become our slave masters, and we their slaves. <br />
<br />
A. This knowledge alone should help us refocus and tackle the problem head on. If we do not tackle this problem we will fall victims of commercialism and religious indoctrination. <br />
<br />
B. We develop dependence on external dictation as to what I need and want, and how it will solve many of my problems. Buy helps, read and hear… endlessly so. <br />
<br />
C. Often, that which really would solve your problem is subconsciously and oddly avoided. The reason for that is the heavily commercialized mind; the Bethlehem manger of Jesus’ birth was not flashy enough, nor was Nazareth an impressive town. <br />
<br />
3. The Truth: diamonds and gold are hidden in the ground for which one must dig, and that takes an effort, and often much time. <br />
<br />
A. Anything praiseworthy is rather expensive. There are no quick solutions to anything in this life, and that’s where overcoming plays the most significant role. For example artistic gold and diamond studded jewelry carries labor costs: finding gold and diamonds, the artist’s skill and sense of beauty, design and the assembly. Taking these factors into account one comes up with the final price.<br />
<br />
B. Sensitivity is fine, but if you want to make it praiseworthy you must encase it with something resistant and hard. You cannot cater to your sensitivity, and pamper it. <br />
<br />
C. The enclosure for your sensitivity is being tough on yourself, as if hammering down on yourself demanding the best. Those in performing arts do that all the time. They can’t afford to flaunt their sensitivities to the public, so they play a role of secure people.<br />
<br />
Now,
let’s wrap it all up. A ballerina mercilessly works her toes. An actor demands
from himself the best, which is to portray a character most convincingly. It’s
been said in Hollywood that Robert De Niro is the most disciplined actor. Al
Pacino knows the secret of screen chemistry. These are tricks of the trade.
Eventually, any portrayal of secure people creates a self-image, which may not
be real, but what is real? Only God is real and the world He had created. Everything
else is illusion. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Anyway,
the real “you” is indeed dependent on the Higher Power all the time. There is
no escaping from it. Call it the Big Bang or God, that force is real, and it
gave you life; hence, life is not yours and you can’t live your life as you
want to, because it is not yours to take, turn and twist. No woman is God.
Humanity comes through women. All are vehicles, vessels and vassals,
instruments of life, which the Creator is. This thinking helps us in decimating
insecurity.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Find
an area in your life that gives you satisfaction, be it artistic, mechanical,
or scientific. Like a spark you can fan it until it turns into flames. Keep on
perfecting that area of your life until you feel confident enough to share it
with others and yes be proud of it. That pride is healthy because you worked on
that God given gift. You have not squandered it however small it might have
been. Not like the wicked steward who dug a hole in the ground and hid his one
talent because he was afraid. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">[Matthew 25:24-28] And the one also who had
received the one talent came up and said, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man,
reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you scattered no seed. [25]
And I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you
have what is yours.’ [26] But his master answered and said to him, ‘You wicked,
lazy slave, you knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I
scattered no seed. [27] Then you ought to have put my money in the bank, and on
my arrival I would have received my money back with interest. [28] Therefore
take away the talent from him, and give it to the one who has the ten talents.’</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDTW7__ViHVoIyjv-cGezVu-tEdrXakxAsB_BJscbMjSD1NrqNv7CQokgUioGkC1npDedk1jcJU-2aV0i5yJmOcUhbdMZlmqTCwn3v5VzaB88xTN3DGTCFiLP1QhrbPCy_Auk3o_FAEew/s1600/talent.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDTW7__ViHVoIyjv-cGezVu-tEdrXakxAsB_BJscbMjSD1NrqNv7CQokgUioGkC1npDedk1jcJU-2aV0i5yJmOcUhbdMZlmqTCwn3v5VzaB88xTN3DGTCFiLP1QhrbPCy_Auk3o_FAEew/s1600/talent.jpg" height="320" width="268" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“You wicked, lazy slave…”</i> From this we
learn that all normal people have hidden talents, large or small, but we all
have them. Hiding behind sensitivity like fear and insecurity, which can be
overcome, did not help the poor slave, did it? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Based
on this story, also you can arise and polish that golden coin until it attracts
divine light. The one who made ten talents received that excavated talent, and
its steward was thrown into darkness. That means: his fear became the dreaded
reality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Everything
in this life is there on purpose; it relates to overcoming, triumphing, and
arising; be it codependency, insecurity, or even fear. It is in you to be conquered
and ruled over. These emotional factors will always be in us and they are there
to be mastered by you. </div>

[Luke
3:38] ...the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Adam
was called God's son and so were called all the sons of Adam. Ben Adam (Son of
Adam or human being) was the title Jesus used when referring to Himself. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Commonly
so, those who have descended from Adam's patrimonial line were called sons of
God; for this reason genealogies were faithfully kept. </div>

CHRISTIAN

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
The
moment the Bible landed in Christian hands genealogies were discarded and
skipped. Out of the Torah the five books of Moses only the Ten Commandments
were chosen. Out of the Old Testament only the Books of Psalms and Prophets
were favored. Psalms helped in the formulation of prayers and the prophets in
the formulation of eschatology. Jesus is believed to be the only begotten Son
of God. The rest of all humans were perhaps evolved animals [confusion]. In Islam
God is not the Father and so those who worship Allah are His servants, even
slaves, not children. Although Jesus was the Firstborn Son; and of all creation
(Ap. Paul’s words the founder of Christianity)—yet, this would not suit the
Christian theology. Yet, none of us were born in heaven with the mission to
come to earth and die for the world. Jesus was born twice: in heaven and on
earth. We were also born twice: in heaven and on earth; and there comes the
third birth, which makes one like wind (John 3:3-8). By then one sins no more
for one cannot sin, for such is born of God the Spirit. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Christians
did not know that Jews know their family tree. Although many converted to just
the religion, to belong, they are not taught their ancestry. At the time of
Jesus, and at the height of proselytizing, many were able to prove their
ancestry all the way to Adam. Such genealogical record was also available to
Mary and Joseph.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
After
resurrection Jesus said to Mary that He ascends to His Father and our Father;
His God and our God. (Present day Christian theology can be confusing.) The God
of Abraham, Isaac and Israel has no beginning; henceforth God was never
born.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></div>

CAIN
WAS ALSO GOD’S SON </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
To
show the power of choice, after knowing what is wrong and right, good and evil,
Cain chose his wrathful emotion over the education he just received (Genesis
4). The purpose of teaching is to train our brain in connectivity. A disconnect
leads to catastrophic consequences. Faultily wired brain is incapable to apply
knowledge presented by another mind. Therefore, Cain chose to not listen to
God’s mind, but to his own—an illusion he believed in. Cain’s soul wielded the
upper hand over his mind and so his brain remained unchanged. Cain’s wrathful
disposition seemed to give him a wicked lustful pleasure; otherwise it is hard
to explain the actions that followed. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
In Genesis
4:7 God spoke to Cain telling him that if he would do well he would smile and
be happy, but if he would do wrong he would be downcast and even depressed.
Cain chose the latter. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Cain
was Adam’s son therefore God’s son too. There was no penance, no contrition and
repentance. When Cain left God’s presence in Eden (the region), and sojourned
in the land of Nod; he carried the volatile angry disposition with him. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Cain’s
records stop being traced. Sporadically we come upon his descendants the
Kenites. Obviously the Kenite settled Canaan (Genesis 15:19) the first root was
Kenite and its offshoots all the other nations. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
In
the New Testament Kenites are called the tares; the masses are called the field,
and the good seed is called the sons of God (Matthew 13:30; 38). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
The
first devil was Cain (John 8:44 and 1John 3:5-12). Cain’s children and imitators
of his deeds are called the devils. However, the good seed has a genealogical
record and that’s why it is being kept.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

SONS
OF GOD TOOK WIVES</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
[Genesis
6:2] The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they
took wives for themselves, whomever they chose</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
There
were other people on earth, which the sons of God took for their wives. Cain
said, “whoever finds me will kill me” (Genesis 4:14). The “whoever” was not his
own family, was it? Cain did not object to his punishment for the evil he
committed, but felt insecure. God appointed a sign for Cain to preserve him.
The same God did for Adam and Eve for in time He can teach them repentance,
which in Hebrew means a complete return (SHOOV) to their Maker. Time is space
and space is grace. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
[Psalms
104:4] He makes the winds (Lit. His angels, spirits) His messengers, flaming
fire His ministers (Lit. His ministers flames of fire). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
In
the New Testament is being quoted, [Hebrews 1:7] “And of the angels He says, ’Who
makes His angels winds, and His ministers a flame of fire.’” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Obviously,
an angel (Malach, which can also mean a messenger) is not flesh and blood,
compatible with human flesh. Angels are not Homo sapiens, but spirits. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
[Mark
12:25] “For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in
marriage, but are like angels in heaven”—Jesus. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Angels
are genderless and they were never born in heaven or on earth; they were
created. Angels, or men, are mentioned interchangeably in the Bible. They
behave differently. Those who touch physically, eat and drink are men like
Enoch, Melchizedek, or Elijah; they never died and therefore are
interchangeable. The body of Jesus was transposable after resurrection. He ate
and drank, appeared and disappeared. He said to Thomas, “Touch Me.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
These
overcomers have nothing to do with sexual procreation anymore. They would not
come back to earth and lusted after the human female flesh. Preposterous. Only
compatible with the earth and with the human beings’ bodies, only men could have married women and bring forth an offspring. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
When
the genetic mix occurred; sometimes giants were also born. Giants, of different
sizes produced more giants. In time, due to inbreeding giants completed their
mission on earth and gradually vanished. They were used as the frontline
champions, like Goliath who faced David. Others were defensive like the king of
Og of Bashan. Israelites killed off the last remnant of giants. However, their
genes are in us. These genetic markings are evident to the scientist, and about
30% of the earth’s population seems to contain them </div>

LIKE
ANGELS AFTER RESURRECTION</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
[Luke
20:34-36] And Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in
marriage, [35] but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and
the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; [36] for
they cannot even die anymore, because they are like angels, and are sons of
God, being sons of the resurrection.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Like angels, and are sons of God, being sons
of the resurrection.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
“Like
angels, sons of God—being sons of the resurrection”—in this sense. Resurrection changes us making us compatible with the spiritual realm we call heaven. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Since
angels are genderless and they were never born in heaven or on earth; they have
no reproductive organs. To a man an angel may look like a man and to a woman
like a woman. We see things subjectively, because we are more attached to our
bodies than to the living spirit. We filter things individually and we rush to
disagreements because of it. Objectivity must come from an arbitrary third
party, without which the truth may be blurred. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
I do
not put down anyone’s religion, but according to the Scripture, which the
Mormons claim to know so well; they miss the Gospel of Luke 20, big
time—there are no heavenly marriages. Each individual remains as an original
individual and genderless. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
[John
1:12-13] But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become
children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of
blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.<br />
<br />
John
was shocked when he discovered this truth and he frequently spoke of the rights;
of adoption and becoming God’s children. The departure from the Creator was so
severe that to imagine that we could be the siblings of Christ was just too
much. Today we know this to be self-evident and completely true. </div>

LIFE
& KNOWLEDGE
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
The
study of any beginnings is a waste of time. Let’s say that we know the
beginning then what? Does it change anything? If we know we only can say that
we do. It even does not satisfy our ego nor does it gratify human pride.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
A
false or true knowledge alone is only knowledge; it remains in the state of
something dormant and unfulfilled. A false or true knowledge must be
realized—to one’s advantage or disadvantage, to blessing or to curse.
Eventually, all knowledge leads to actions resulting in behavior.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
In
the Gospel of Thomas (Gnostic, verse 18) The disciples said to Jesus,
"Tell us how our end will be." Jesus said, "Have you discovered,
then, the beginning, that you look for the end? For where the beginning is,
there will the end be. Blessed is he who will take his place in the beginning;
he will know the end and will not experience death."</div>

It
has always been my understanding that all planets in cosmos were the
contributors and servants. They served the earth and then they split away and
formed their own separate (also round) entities. I would not be surprised if
ancient life forms were still visible.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
NASA's
robotic rover on Mars has found signs that a vast and hospitable lake once
spread over the now-desolate Martian surface, providing a potential home to
past life for centuries or longer.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
From
the blob came the separation and harmonization. Genesis 1 does not speak of the
order of creation for verse 1 reads that God created heavens and the earth,
period. The following verses speak of life forms put into order.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Life
forms vary. Spirit and Life are synonymous, but not one and the same because
each form has more or less life according to their function on this planet. We
all breathe and move, but the cognizance capacity is different and that’s what
makes us unique.<br />
<br />
ADAPTATION</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Organisms
face a succession of environmental challenges as they grow and develop. They
come equipped with an adaptive plasticity. This plasticity is also in humans. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
The
changing weather patterns cause droughts, floods or freezing affecting fauna and
in turn omnivores and herbivores. The same happens in the oceans, streams,
rivers and lakes. With those changes come many challenges, which some species
overcome and then adapt to. Some have a hard time adapting and so they succumb
to the changing environment and die. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
We
all adapt but the wrong way. If we succumb to the pressures of an increasingly
immoral society, we conform, but to straying humans, rather than to the original
laws of creation. Violation of those laws brings decay and eventually death.
Adherence to the laws of life, as they were actually meant to be, is the
correct adaptation. But for humans, this sort of adaptation is through the gain
of knowledge. People perish for lack of the right caliber of knowledge. </div>

The
power of intentional thoughts and emotions goes beyond theory at the Institute
of HeartMath. In a study, researchers have tested this idea and proven its
veracity.</div>

According
to the Institute of HeartMath in Boulder Creek, California, epigenetics
encompasses far more than just DNA, our environment and life experience. After
two decades of study, the researchers discovered that factors like love, appreciation, anxiety or anger; do influence a person's blueprint. In one experiment,
select participants were able to change DNA with positive mental states.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
"An
individual holding three DNA samples was directed to generate heart coherence—a
beneficial state of mental, emotional and physical balance and harmony—with the
aid of a HeartMath technique that utilizes heart breathing and intentional
positive emotions. The individual succeeded, as instructed, to intentionally
and simultaneously unwind two of the DNA samples to different extents and leave
the third unchanged."</div>

Most people seek self-identity as if they lost it. They seek to define themselves, but in what terms? –This goes blurry. On one hand we want to know ourselves while on the other we mystify anything that would identify us with deity. And here again we run into all sorts of problems, and that is because of religion, belongings, beliefs and their foggy explanations; so the bottom line is… just believe. Yet, we live in a world that wants to understand and know. In this modern jungle of ideas—where we meet up with opportunists and those who in no time want to take advantage of any weakness or gap in your straightforward thinking—that it is hard to believe and much lass trust. We hate to be manipulated. Despondently, many have stopped believing. <br />

Believing is no logic. Just because a founder of some religious establishment did not have answers to many questions and preached blind acceptance does not invalidate the fact that we want to know the Truth. <br />
<br />
Instead of leaving things suspended in time allowing them to roll we want to grasp things and even control. A blind acceptance of something declared as the truth spawns more questions for such is the nature of time and progress. Those who have allowed themselves be indoctrinated and tightly framed in a repetitive religious tradition go nowhere. They are stuck. But those who seek they do find. <br />
<br />
Permit yourself to be present-minded for what you are reading may lead you further into the full glory of the Truth. <br />
<br />
Who created timidity? Not God. Who created scary things like devils, fallen angels and poltergeists? Not God. Who binds? Not God. Who liberates? God. <br />
<br />
Life is a journey and we stumble upon many things. We turn stones and then boringly leave them alone; yet there may be one stone you have not yet turned. <br />
<br />
The scientific term, Homo sapiens, applies only to an evolved physical creature and nothing more. Go ahead, study hair, bones, teeth and DNA, but you will only find similarities; and if you want to use them to define yourself you can that too, but that’s not the real you.<br />
<br />
Ethnicity, race, culture and religious belonging will never define you and you do not want to be defined anyway; because by the time you think you have gotten it you die. <br />
<br />
Only Homo sapiens carry the immortality gene, a distant mark left in our DNA pointing back to the original plan of God for us. Which God, you may ask, Elohim, Jesus, or Allah? What mess we have gotten ourselves into? <br />
<br />
To be fair, the earliest book was the Bible, which is the ground zero for Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Only Muhammad told his followers that God does not speak directly to man anymore; he was the last. Was he a smart chap or a control freak? It is like saying, we fought with swords and spears and that’s it; no other weapon can be used in Islam. We ate cuscus and that’s it; you cannot eat potatoes. Similar things we find in these there religions, and why it is so? Hardly anyone knows. No more prophets, no more apostles, God does not speak to people… have we grown weary of God? Is He really so terrible, giving us hell and Satan and only He knows what else? <br />

Chimps are no Homo sapiens, or ARDI. Even if evolutionary links will be found they will only create grounds for disagreements and the status quo will continue. <br />
<br />
Intelligence is not found in fossils or missing links; it is found in divine logic, which you and I possess. Why do we need need between our Creator and us a dead religion and its dead interpretations? Why protectionism and with it disagreements. Why do we need to define God or leave Him alone while we focus on matter? <br />
<br />
Mulling over just the physical and the aging; steals precious time. Let's study endless life, which had released (birthed) us into this physical hemisphere in human shells, which went through many transitions. <br />
<br />
There was an old creation and different human-like species before the brand new creation—Adam. Only Adam possessed the divine spirit of life, with which he was able to decide and choose.<br />
<br />
Gad made him to eat from the Tree of Contrasts (tree of knowledge of good and evil) so that after he knew the “yes” and “no” he then could choose. That’s intelligence. Since he did not have yet a tangible experience yet—on his body and the ground the consequence of transgression—he had to be led out from the place of his birth. <br />
<br />
[Genesis 3:22-23] “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever”— [23] therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken. <br />
<br />
This makes a lot of sense because it signifies an intelligent choice, which was there ready for Adam’s pickings. But it was not yet the time. These people lived over 900 years - plenty of time to learn God’s ways. The hard consequences lasted a very long time; only after Seth’s son Enosh there was a renaissance and they started to call out to God by His name YHVH. <br />
<br />
In the seventh generation, after Adam, Enoch loved God and walked with Him. Enoch knew God. There was no religion yet to interfere with his walk. No one could say that he was in error or preached a false doctrine. The Creator took him, and I believe that one of his students was Melchizedek the king of Jerusalem who went out to meet Abraham. No one knew the king’s family. The priest was just there… just like the wind. No one knew where he came from or where he was going (John 3:8).<br />
<br />
Those who conquered death were not those who were in control, but rather those who relinquished any control. Just as Jesus did in Gethsemane, “Not my will, but Thine.” Does it make sense? —Of course it does. <br />
<br />
These are the secrets of immortality and this mark is in our DNA already. You do not need religion as such to interfere with this most glorious walk. You need love and care. You need someone honest to tell you something without marketing it and building an empire of his or her own. <br />
<br />
These are not fairies to be disbelieved, and even if they are; know this that in every fairytale you will find a moral. And it is this moral you are after. <br />
<br />
Life has no start and no end. Philosophically and theologically speaking, we deemed our bodies perishable, but as we study creation and the Creator we find something else. It is our choice, mixed with regrets that we age and die, that drove us to this conclusion. <br />
<br />
The real Homo sapiens are not evolved monkeys, which can be taught tricks. If you let other Homo Erectus kind teach you tricks then you will act like they want you to. But if the Creator teaches you then these are no longer tricks. <br />
<br />
Knowledge liberates and the lack of it binds. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The idea of God, and the idea of life, is one and the same. The Big Bang theory emerged from thoughts about beginning. Today we find out much more than ever before. We build better microscopes, electroscopes and telescopes and discover endless galaxies with innumerable celestial bodies. I use the term ‘celestial bodies’ because we are not able to see everything and much less name all things in existence. This wearies our mind and body and then we give up and say. There must be a God. <br />
<br />
Intuitions, subliminal perceptions, instincts, or call it psychic powers, etc., make us think of oneness and communications. And speaking of the latter we have capitalized on this world of oneness and harnessed this awesome energy, but some use it for vanities, others for indoctrinations, scientific information, selling and buying. Cyberspace buzzes with chatter like the Amazonian jungle reverberating with mating calls.<br />
<br />
No oxygen or hydrogen constitutes life, for these are only gases, which we can breathe or drink in a liquid form. And we need them because of life. We need sugars and salts, sunlight and rain and again we need them all because of life. It does not matter how we go about it. It always comes down to ground zero: life came from somewhere and dwells among us. <br />
<br />

We imagine it to be myriads of light-years away from us, and yet Jesus repeatedly said that it is among us and within us and in our minds, right here. In Deuteronomy 30, heaven is the word (commandment or law), which is in our heart and in our mouth… that close. Then we go on imagining the falling of Lucifer and then we count one third of fallen angels from myriads? —Indeed a huge chip on man’s shoulder, and a stupid one too. Blind beliefs rather than knowledge order man’s imaginations. It is alarming to discover how stupid humans are, but don’t tell them that; lest they turn on you and eat you alive. <br />
<br />
Stupidity and severe limitations are usually self-made. The reason is always self-identity, self-glory and the silly pompous pride; always taking credit for an incomplete work. No man can complete anything. Knowledge increases and changes with time. Nothing can be caught and appropriated as ones’ own and take credit for it. You can catch a butterfly but you cannot say that it is yours; it still belongs to the Creator or to life. Instead of getting offended one should ask ‘why am I stupid?’ Staring at the face of the most awesome wisdom one can only call him or herself an idiot, which would help, for that would open up the door of cognizance, knowledge and wisdom. But no… No one would ever do that. And that is because this overinflated pompous chip on the shoulder weighs a ton. <br />

I have decided to nullify the effects of self on my mind. Self-nullification is actually the door that opens storehouses of knowledge. The law is such that without the humbling of self-importance nothing divine can penetrate our thick skulls. That is why God is not being comprehended, known, or experienced. Some people experience supernatural miracles while others—at the same time and in the same place—feel nothing and experience nothing. They are like dry boards absorbing no moisture. Others are there to only criticize because they can’t help feeling envy and that is only one of the offshoots of this idiotic psychological malady. <br />
<br />
There is no university on this planet that teaches life in its pure form or no form at all. Life has no form; hence, it cannot be controlled. We can harness electricity, which is abundantly flowing down to us from the sun and through the rain clouds. We can control fire and cook with it, but when it takes over we are helpless, just as we are when facing hurricanes and tornadoes. <br />

This human imbecilic chip on human shoulder retards our progress and so we have become retards in the true sense of the word. All too soon we object and disagree just because one of the neutrons in our brain is stuck in one particular place and does not want to move anywhere else. All too quickly we disagree as if protecting our turf for which we have taken credit, wrote a book or got some prestigious prize. Thus we limit our development and intellectual heights, which are at our fingertips. This pulling down and trashing of others comes from this idiotic disposition.<br />
<br />
Life forms can be studied and the “best” way to do that is when they are billions of years old, ha, ha, ha... There is no one to disagree with those numbers are there? Safety net one just landed on and likes it. <br />
<br />
When it comes to religion all camps harnessed the power of crowds, like fish their scales must be scraped off, and then they cannot go back into the water and be free. They were scared of hell and then of the devil and then they wish to live forever in that same heaven from which Lucifer fell. Next we must smoke them over our smoke and fire. Once that’s done we store them and ask them to disagree with anything new that does not square with that smokehouse’s doctrine. <br />
<br />
Retards produce retards. Life cannot be harnessed. Jesus came to proclaim freedom. He closed the book and the religious slaves were about to throw Him off the cliff. In another place they tried to stone Him to death: “Thank you for your sermon on freedom preacher, but we don’t like it and we will kill you for preaching it to us.” So it is today also. <br />
<br />
Life or God, one and the same (not a thing), but Person; He is LIFE and the author of life. The more you are busy with God the Spirit, with no shell, contour and much less a human god, the more life you receive. You grow. You expand and one day, as it was with Enoch LIFE will take you and permanently keep you. You do not own life for you did not bring yourself into this world by choice, did you? <br />
<br />
Discover this life today. I have only navigated you to it. To end it well, based on the Gospel of John 8:31-32; let me show you five steps to freedom.<br />
<br />
1. Accept what I say as being the truth (believe).<br />
2. Continue in my teaching. <br />
3. Become my disciple. <br />
4. Know the truth.<br />
5. Become free.<br />
<br />
Just as the Spirit of Life is completely free. So can you be also. Those who are born of the Spirit sin no more, and are like the wind. No one knows where you are coming from and where you go (John 3:8 & 1John 3:9). No one can drive a screw into your head anymore and indoctrinate you. <br />
<br />
While others are constantly busy binding people with their points of (political) views, doctrines and beliefs I chose to free people. </div>

The capitalistic system exalts monetary gain above any greater good of human beings. It is true that every person and corporation has the right to make as much money as possible. Therefore, for some reason, major corporations get more welfare than little corporations. <br />
<br />
The pharmaceutical industry is an example of capitalism’s worst parts, because it is humanitarian in nature; hence, religious institutions with donors’ money have built many hospitals. Historically, hospitals are usually funded by the public sector, by health organizations (for profit or nonprofit), health insurance companies, or charities, including direct charitable donations, religious orders or charitable individuals. In accord with the original meaning of the word, hospitals were originally places of hospitality. Christian denominations, Catholic religious orders as well as Protestant including Methodists and Lutherans run hospitals. Today, professional physicians, surgeons, and nurses largely staff hospitals, whereas in the past, this work was usually performed by the founding of religious orders and by volunteers. <br />
<br />
This humanitarian character of the medical profession is fading. Today, the prime objective for all publicly trading drug companies is the monetary gain rather than humanitarian goal to rid our society of disease and illness. <br />
<br />
The economic interest of the pharmaceutical industry is the main reason why no medical breakthrough has been made for the control of the most common diseases such as cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, heart failure, diabetes, cancer, and osteoporosis, and why these diseases continue like epidemics on a worldwide scale.<br />
<br />
Millions of people and patients around the world are being defrauded. Major portion of their income is used to finance the exploding profits of the pharmaceutical industry and in return they are being offered a medicine that does not even cure. <br />
<br />
People live longer but the quality of life of the elderly has gone down because of prescription drugs dependence. One disease rides on the back of another like a tick on a cockroach’s back. Dementia, Alzheimer’s and other similar mental impairments turn the elderly into slow moving zombies.<br />
<br />
The pharmaceutical industry has now formed an international *Codex Alimentarius Commission with the aim to control and even outlaw any health information in connection with vitamins; and to limit free access to natural therapies on a worldwide scale.<br />
<br />
*The Codex Alimentarius Commission, established by FAO and WHO in 1963 develops harmonized international food standards, guidelines and codes of practice to protect the health of the consumers and ensure fair practices in the food trade. The Commission also promotes coordination of all food standards work undertaken by international governmental and non-governmental organizations. <br />
<br />
Since its beginnings in 1963, the Codex system has evolved in an open, transparent and inclusive way to meet emerging challenges. International food trade is a 200 billion dollar a year industry, with billions of tons of food produced, marketed and transported. Alimentarius means alimentary relating to nourishment or sustenance.<br />
<br />
I do not subscribe to any conspiracy theory. I go by this verse in the Bible (Matthew 7:16) <i>By their fruits you will know them.</i> Those of us who are subject to US medicine and prescription drugs; must know that none of the drugs sold today have been designed to cure an illness. All too often these drugs produce side effects, which are then countered with other drugs. In fact, the symptoms-eliminating medicines—in the true sense of the word—are not really remedies. The Latin word for Medicine is Rememdium, which means to cure; to remedy and it comes from a substance or preparation used in treating disease. These are facts or rather evident fruits of the Pharmaceutical and Medical Industries. This tree does not produce anything that actually heals. On one hand life expectancy became longer because the drugs, especially those the older population consumes; fertilize the medical tree and sustains it. On the other hand the quality of life expectancy shrinks. <br />
<br />
Since the main driving force of the pharmaceutical industry is to increase sales of drugs for ongoing diseases, and to find new diseases in order to market existing drugs the industry has no interest in curing or eradicating diseases for it would inevitably destroy a multi-billion dollar industry. If eradication therapies for diseases are discovered and developed, the industry has a basic interest to suppress, discredit and obstruct these medical breakthroughs in order to make sure that diseases continue as the very basis for a lucrative prescription drug market. <br />
<br />
As inhuman as that may sound these are the facts. The root of evil is not money but an obsessive and even fanatical love of it. There must be a balance. The only way would be to lock all profit-addicts chemist people in rehab centers where they would have to undergo a therapy. Just as there are rehab centers for substance abuse and addiction, in this case the addiction is the love of money, an incurable for some malady. <br />
<br />
Many non-life threatening illnesses are quite often overcome naturally. Time, rest and natural remedies largely contribute to the strengthening of the immune system. The stronger the immune system the healthier life one can lead. However, a prolonged medication, or over-medication; does not strengthen the immune system, but actually weakens it. By depriving our bodies of nutrients and vitamins, which come from fruits, vegetables and nuts, we lower our immune system’s defense capabilities. <br />

Peacemaking is the best way to go about human health. Agitation, nervousness, stress or chasing timetables; take away peace, which in itself brings healing. Hence, it is written, Seek peace and pursue it (1Peter 3:11). All maladies are the result of disconnects and upheavals.<br />
<br />
Oneness is of peace and of health and their opposites are of war; hence, illness. Drugs cannot bring oneness and peace. That only you can do. Inflammation is not of peace but of war. Infection is a foreign invasion, something that does not belong. To ward it off, one needs to seek the healing peace. Once peace properties find their way in our mind, soul and body then the nervous system begins to distribute them throughout the entire system. It supplies the circulating blood vessels with healing material, which calms infection and inflammation. That is the power of an educated mind and the power of your choice.<br />

when His disciples awakened Him He looked at them surprised. The Sea of Galilee
experiences such storms when high winds vortex on a rather small lake. Of
course, the disciples have experienced these storms before, but this time they
had Jesus in the boat. Was it a test?<br />

I am quite certain that Jesus was not asleep for no one can

There are laws that govern all things in existence, knowing
these laws is one thing but to bend them is another. We may try to bend a man-made law or even break, which we call violation, but we cannot change a

their time comes hurricanes, earthquakes and volcanoes start to act. <o:p></o:p></div>

APPOINTED SEASONS</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the Bible (Leviticus 23) we read about the appointed
God’s feasts, seasons during which God wants to be celebrated. We count days
and on the seventh we rest. Well, man has seemingly changed that, but only
seemingly, the count remains the same. Seven days, seven weeks, seven months,
seven years and seven generations. This irregular number has no rhythm for if
it had it would work like a mathematically calibrated machine. The seventh
stops the rhythm. In Hebrew number seven is SHEVA and to sit and repose is
SHEV; therefore seven means rest.</div>

The Big Bang theory is very interesting, but it would have
to have the count of sevens in its creative character, therefore it could never
be accidental. <o:p></o:p></div>

SHEVAH & SHEV</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The reason for the number seven is something I call as a
reserved seat, just as you reserve a table in a restaurant. Although everything
in the entire Universe turns in a rhythmic way we still have leap months and
leap years and that goes for every orbiting celestial body. The Bible says that
the Creator rested on the seventh day He did SHEV, sat down. Although God is
Spirit and He does not tire nor ever grows weary for only any physical exertion
brings weariness; therefore the SHEVA was all physical bodies. Objects do not
have this consciousness but we do.<br />
<br />
We do not orbit like the moon does for we
have not been programmed, we hear, read, think, learn and then choose. Planets
don’t do that. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
BELIEVING </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Having said what I just said, we come to the point of studying
the mind of Jesus. Believing in the story of Him hushing the storm, walking on
water or changing water into wine has nothing to do with my subjective logic.
Believing to me is an acceptance of something being said as true, because I
believe the author or rather the storyteller. When my mother told me a fairy I
did not believe in the story but my mother. If she lied to me then that is her
problem not mine. I have nothing to shield. A lot of people carry themselves as
if on golden platters and constantly busy themselves shielding their “super”
sensitivities treating them as unique. Yet, everyone is sensitive and unique,
we just go about it differently. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
TRUTH & FAIRY TALES</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As I mature and look back on my childhood I realize that
what I have absorbed was a mixture of true and false things and so now I sort
them out. I throw away the untrue things and keep that which is true. This
distinction God created when He enticed Eve to eat of the Tree of Knowledge and
not first of the Tree of Life. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A simple story, fairytale, legend, but this story is laden
with meaning. I believe it and why not? But do I believe in the detail or in principle? That is the question. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why not first the Tree of Life, but rather the Tree of
Contrast of something true, false, something good and bad? Between these two
sides is the choice. But this choice must be sharpened.<o:p></o:p></div>

1. It is like a scale: on one side you have the negative,
and the other the positive. If the scale does not tilt in either direction then
you are the field, neutral an equal mixture of both. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. If the negative side of the scale is heavier and dips
then you are the tare; too much of the not dealt with in repentance evil. —I
must add here that often to such people repentance is the remotest idea; their
overinflated pride has clouded their minds beyond repentance. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. If the positive side dips then you are the good seed. You
have accumulated good deeds; and your thoughts become straighter; and therefore
more righteous, clearer and you are good. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That explains our believing. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Right after my believing comes the study and a more precise
examination. I begin to sort things; throwing away illusions and embracing but
only the Truth. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://humanis.co/img/israrites.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://humanis.co/img/israrites.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Ceremonies,
elaborate rituals, utensils, vessels, sacrifices, incense, myrrh, the proper
and improper slaughter of animals, feasts celebrations with prescriptions for
wave offerings, libations… etc. The list is too long, but one can see that man
fell in love with these things, and still loves, deriving a sense of pride,
identity and belonging. Nonetheless, these things were only permitted. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
The
wandering Israelites desired meat. Lack of protein can make you grumpy, but was
that really the case? When the flocks of quails arrived the people gluttonously
devoured them until they vomited. It shows God’s displeasure and scorn. Thus He gave
them over to their own cravings. (Read Romans 1:24-28) But was there another way? What was God’s plan, and
why no one searched it out?<br />
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Obviously
that was not God’s perfect will, but He seems to had been swayed. His people, with
their demands, could bend His arm. I think that when we discover those divine
soft spots we tend to take advantage of them by pushing those buttons as if we
are gods and the Almighty must obey our demands. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<h2>
<span style="color: #7f6000;">The emergence of religion</span></h2>
The
emergence of religion has much to do with our ways rather than the Maker’s
ways, which must be studied, an undertaking most pleasing to Him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
With
this example we can see the early and latter stages of the Israelite journey.
We see the progress, but rather in the God-permitted direction, and not according
to His perfect will, which perhaps is crowned with immortality? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
All
peoples practiced religious rites. The Israelites lived in Egypt 430 years; a
long history during which one can be profoundly impressed with religion. Visual
impressions also impress our genes, as if in time human genome, we can say, craves
things it has been used to. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
We
have now a proof that genes carry ancestral predispositions and habits, e.g., scientists
discovered a gene that increases the chances of becoming hooked on cocaine. Addicts
were 25% more likely to carry the gene variant than people who did not use
cocaine. Scientists believe that genetic factors account for 70% of cocaine
addiction, making it as heritable as schizophrenia and other mental health
conditions. Studies of twins suggest alcoholism is about 50% genetic. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://humanis.co/img/cocaine_snif.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://humanis.co/img/cocaine_snif.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Addictions
come from substance abuse, but besides these there are scores of other
predispositions ancestors passed on to their offspring—strengths and
weaknesses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
There
was a time when there was no organized religion and no go-betweens defining the
Creator to others. We may assume that teaching and learning of the Truth was
not yet known; hence, religious observances gained ascendancy rather than
knowledge. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
The
ascent of science could be seen as the final phase in the progression of
religion. Any organized religion has the element of conformity; and conformity
has many faces. As it is the case with Judaism, Christianity and Islam religious
submission comes in different packaging. Judaism is split between orthodox,
conservative and progressive; and within these three branches there are several
other traditions. Christianity also comes in three, Catholic, Greek Eastern
Orthodox and Protestant, with many other branches. Islam is mainly split
between the Sunni and Shia with other splinters. Each camp defines their
beliefs through their religion’s founder and with the help of their holy
literature. Adherents must conform to those different streams of beliefs and
interpretations. However, none of these versions actually lead to God, but
rather to religion itself; to the packaging, sets of beliefs and too often;
subjective interpretations. But let’s take another look at religion.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<h2>
<span style="color: #7f6000;">Outward appearance </span></h2>
Does
God care about the type of a hat you wear, coat, or prayer posture? Isn’t it
all for others to see and in the name of self-definition? One does it only to
depict belonging, but does the invisible God really ask for it? You can say yes,
for it is written (the Bible or Koran), but all of this was never God’s first
choice, but rather man’s choice with God’s permission. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
A
self-defined religion is only that, and nothing more. It obscures the spiritual
reality, which in time ceased to be a reality and became more a mystical
concept than anything practical and applicable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
There
was a time where someone walked with God without ritual and religious frame and
that man was Enoch. Today this mystical individual excites senses, for
immortality is completely outside any religious frame, which supposed to hold
the living picture. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

One
needs no self-identity for not one of us has decided to be born; and not even
one is in charge of self. We come by grace and not by accident. We must not
leave by accident or death, but can walk with LIFE, which God is. We can learn
about our biological and genetic makeup and discover that we carry immortal
genes just as we also carry the death genes. Then we have the will and choice,
which when used for peacemaking and harmony we engage in healing and
restoration. Anything damaged heals; sometimes fast; sometimes slow and
sometimes not at all. It all depends on the information we work with. <o:p></o:p></div>

Some
Evangelical Christian Churches teach two Gospels: the Kingdom Gospel and the
Gospel of Grace. Since there are two peoples, the Jew and the Gentile Christian
what the apostle Paul preached was his gospel, which he directed to the
Gentiles. Paul specifically spoke of being grafted into the cultivated olive tree
by grace, which the Jew is.</span></div>

[Romans
11:24] For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and
were <b>grafted</b> contrary to nature <b>into a cultivated olive tree</b>, how much
more will these who are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive
tree?</div>

Paul
used the term ‘my gospel’ three times, (Romans 2:16, 16:25 & 2Timothy 2:8).
Paul’s gospel was the gospel of grace after the cross and although he saw Jesus
in a vision and heard his voice on the way to Damascus Paul did not know Jesus
the way the twelve knew Him; hence he uses this expression: </div>

Today
we have disputes about these two gospels, which are being interpreted as: one is
meant for Judaism and the Jews; and the other for the church and Gentile
Christians. </div>

you make two camps out of God’s people the cultivated and the grafted, you
start to organize, define, indoctrinate and then control. This futile work of
flesh leads to nowhere else but to even more confusion and complication of

Why
it is being interpreted this way is hard to explain for there are too many
twists and turns making it a very tedious work. So we won’t even go there. What we will
signify is the two schools of thought and that in my view comes from dualism. </div>

Dualism
is a watered-down polytheism, out of many we come down to two forces, entities
or even divinities, the Almighty God vis-à-vis Satan. This dualistic thinking
constantly departs from one God and interprets the Bible with exactly this
dualistic frame of mind. Consequently, all other ideas follow suit.</div>

[Matthew
10:5-6]<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These twelve Jesus sent out
after instructing them: “<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Do not go in
the way of the Gentiles</b>, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans; [6]
but rather go to the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">lost sheep of the
house of Israel.”</b> [15:24] But He answered and said, “I was <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">sent only to the lost sheep of the house of
Israel</b>.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
[Luke
15:4, 6] What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of
them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go after the one
which is lost until he finds it? [6] And when he comes home, he calls together
his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">I have found my sheep which was lost!</b>’</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
These
views portray the gospel of the kingdom to be for the Jews only and Paul’s
gospel of grace for the Gentiles only. This organization of thoughts—and with
those thoughts also camps—leads only but to a rift and more confusion. Based on
these renditions, the Christian Church is then labeled as the Bride of Christ
and it goes in rapture before tribulation; while the Jew stays on earth during
this final holocaust. Another supposition is this: the Christian Church cannot
function in the Jewish camp that’s why it must go before the Jew goes through
tribulation. </div>

What
a terrible fix we find ourselves in. This totally unnecessary mulling over the
New Testament brings only confusion. It’s a waste of time, but not according to
the proponents of these ideas. They honestly think that they teach the truth
and are on the right track with their thinking.Yet, it is only thinking, and believing to be so, or ought to be so.</div>

Believing itself, in the Christian mind, constitutes righteousness; and based on that belief there is nothing else to
do but only believe. 100% of the time the word believing is being used in the context of something magical and miraculous. There is more to believing or accepting something as being true. There is the little faith, great faith and God's gift of faith, which moves mountains. </div>

[James
2:<span class="bvn"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">19-25] </span></span><span class="bv"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">You

[<span class="bvn">20] </span><span class="bv">But are you willing to recognize,
you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless?</span> [<span class="bvn">21] </span><span class="bv"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Was

works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected;</span> [<span class="highlight">23] and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “A</span><span class="scaps">ND</span><span class="highlight"> A</span><span class="scaps">BRAHAM
BELIEVED</span><span class="highlight"> G</span><span class="scaps">OD</span><span class="highlight">, </span><span class="scaps">AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS

justified by works and not by faith alone.</span> [<span class="bvn">25] </span><span class="bv">In the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
The
point James is making is that Abraham did indeed take his son Isaac to Mt.
Moriah, which was three days walk, and he was about to sacrifice him on the
alter. Thus Abraham activated his faith. God intervened and Abraham’s fruit of
faith was no longer mental (acceptance of something as being true), but actual.
This supernatural intervention can be deemed as being miraculous, and such it
was. Can we conclude that without the work of faith the miraculous is inactive?
Jesus said in Matthew 7:16 & 20 <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“You
will know them <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">by</span> <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">their</span> <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">fruits.” </span></i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">– Therefore,
words and deeds. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
This
leads to two places. Let’s start with [Genesis 9:27]<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> May God enlarge Japheth, and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">let
him dwell in the tents of Shem</b>; and let Canaan be his servant. </i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Everyone
knows that Japheth was the ancestor of the Greek people through Javan. Apostle
Paul spread his gospel of grace mostly to the Greek people. Christianity became
a separate religious camp although it was an offshoot of the Hebrews and no
longer dwelled in the tent of Shem. By developing its own theology, separate
from the Jewish root, Christianity went a bit too far in exalting itself. God
abases the proud and exalts the humble; therefore no matter how much you
believe in what you teach and hear it will not happen according to your belief.
It will happen the God’s way, which in all humility being subject to the
guidance of the Holy Spirit we must study. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

The
other verse is from the Gospel of<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i>[John
8:51] <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Truly, truly, I say to you, if
anyone <b>keeps My word he will never see death.</b> </i>Jesus’ brother Jacob (James)
grasped it well for it was the doing and KEEPING of the word and not just
believing that bypasses death. Not seeing any kind of death is quite interesting;
a prize one should go after at any cost. Man’s way is to settle things in theology. But God’s way is to leave things undefined and moving in the
progression of time. Let God have His own way; in time He will perfectly
explain it all to us because exactly for this reason He had sent the Holy Spirit (John 16:13). When the Spirit of Truth really teaches us; it is in such a way that no one can disagree. It is tight, logical and perfect. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Finally,
Jesus said in [John 14:15] <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">if you love
Me, you will <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">keep My commandments</b>.</i>
These words are quickly converted into believing only, which to the Gentile
mind means keeping. Why? Greeks loved philosophy, thinking and imagining. These
characteristics are typical Greek and these ideas were used to Hellenize the Jews.<br />

Hellenization
had the profoundest impact on the monotheistic Jewish mind. Besides it being
already impaired in Medo-Persia where Jews played with Zoroastrianism and from
which came dualism; it also passed through the Greek philosophizing, imagining;
mental ramblings from which also came the Book of Jubilees, the Watchers and
the Book of Enoch. These three pieces or literature are imbecilic for they draw
us away from God and His oneness. The Almighty is sovereign over all of His
creation and fully in charge of it, yet human idiots dared to take away from
Him that authority and power. These fools not only led themselves astray but
through their writings the countless many. Anyone attributing gaps and even the
tiniest impotence to God is mentally impaired.<br />

The
mistake of separating the Gentile from the Jew is rooted in silly rivalries.
The Gentile was not trained in God’s ways as the Jew was. Therefore Jesus said,
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Salvation is from the Jews</i> (John
4:22). Something remains incomplete and even off-track when the Gentile does
not learn anything from the Jew. Gentiles developed their own
philosophy/theology and did not learn anything from the writers of the Bible. By
distancing themselves from the Jewish culture, language and train of thought the
Jewish Bible was viewed through the (proud) Gentile eye. Consequently,
Christian theology contains many gaps and discrepancies. </div>

Believing
in the rapture, before tribulation, or rapture after tribulation is only a
belief and it has no legs to stand on. It is Greek philosophizing and a
waste of time, which could have been used on the improvement of our spiritual
cognizance and the strengthening of our righteousness. After righteousness comes holiness, and after holiness comes perfection. And although it starts with the procurement of the liberating truth; it goes on to the development of righteous, holiness and perfection; something that
is indeed compatible with God our Creator. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
The
source scripture: [Matthew 5:48] Therefore you are to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">be perfect</b>, as your heavenly Father is perfect.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Since
believing is the norm of righteousness then believing in perfection makes no sense;
hence, in most people's minds perfection is unattainable. Yet, in 1John 1:8-9 we start the journey with
sin confession and in 1John 3:9 & 5:18 we complete the journey with not
sinning anymore. Theologically these two scriptures are discordant. But those
who took the journey attain, and the closer they come to their destination the
more they know that perfection is obtainable; hence TELEIOS applies to maturing... until perfection. In that sense, and when that happens; they are no longer under any religious earthly authority, but
under God’s authority directly.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Since
God is God, and He does not mature, nor does He attain; we must continue in the
Spirit of Jesus when we use this Greek word TELEIOS. God is perfect. He does
not attain. He is. We attain, grow and mature.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

[NOTE]
In John 3:3-8 we read about <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">seeing</b>
the Kingdom, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">entering</b> and being <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">born of the Spirit</b> and becoming like
wind whereas no one knows whence one comes and where one goes. These three
stages of development are compared to three births. Theologically these three stages
(John 3:3-8) do not agree, but when experienced they are beyond the scope of anyone’s
interpretation or (correct or incorrect) theology. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
For

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
[Ephesians
4:11-13] And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as
evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, [12] for the equipping of the
saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; [13]
until we all <b>attain</b> to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son
of God, to a (perfect) <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">mature</b> man,
to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
[Hebrews
6:1]<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Therefore leaving the elementary
teaching about the Christ, let us press on to (perfection) <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">maturity</b>. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
In
these three places we find the word perfection translated as maturity. This
word TELEIOS, (TELEIOSETA and TELEION) means both maturity as well as
perfection and it is used in Ephesians 4:13 as well as in Hebrews 6:1. Regardless
how differently translations treat these two words in the context, there is the
attainment, maturity and perfection; and it is not by thinking alone, but also
practicing and keeping what one knows. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Now
we came to the point of understanding that God actually hardened and blinded
the Jewish people, but only partially; until the fullness of the Gentiles have come
in. When that final number of the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel, as seen by God, is *complete then will come resurrection (Rom. 11:15). If I have surprised you here then that’s
good.<br />
<br />
*[NOTE] In Genesis 15:16 God said to Abraham that the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete; for that reason Abraham's descendants had to go to Egypt. After 470 years they conquered Canaan because by then Amorite iniquity was complete. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
The
Lost sheep of the House of Israel are really Israel, which was dispersed and
was mixed with the Goyim (nations) and lost its original identity as the (10) tribes
of Israel. Only Judah and Levi (priests) remained, but the ten tribes were
lost. Nonetheless the original covenant of God with Abraham, regarding his
descendants, remains. If you will, you can call it the original and everlasting
anointing, for God’s callings and gifts are irrevocable (Rom. 11:29). The
timeless God sees it all; only we move in segments and periods; hence we see
fragments. God sees it all at once without the interference of time’s
intervals. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
The dragnet
that catches the fish (finds the lost sheep) is Christianity today in many
forms. That was the prime call of Paul (not a Jew but a Benjaminate convert to Judaism) and exactly for this task.<br />
<br />
God seeks His children and not converted into sheep wolfs. The prodigal
son was lost and returned back to his father’s house. So it is with the Lost
Sheep of the House of Israel. The Gentile Christians, if they are really born
again, are not really Gentiles. If they hate the *Jew then they hate their
brother Yehuda the Jews. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
*[NOTE]
Only Judah was exiled to Babylon, not the ten tribes of Israel; by which time
Israel was already dispersed and only remnants remained; hence the expression, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Galilee of the Gentiles</i> (Isaiah 9:1).
When Judah returned from exile under Ezra and Nehemiah they were then called
Jews. In Hebrew “Yehuda” means both Judah and Jews (Yehudeem in plural). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
When
one is saved one enters and that is not the final stage. One is saved by grace
and lives by grace, thereby; one advances by going deeper into God’s Kingdom.
What Kingdom? – The same Kingdom, which the Gospel of the Kingdom proclaims.
There are not two gospels but one.<br />
<br />
The apostle Paul was called to the Gentiles for
Jesus had made him a fisherman of men; and yes, to find the lost sheep of the
house of Israel dispersed among and mixed with the gentiles. Paul’s success was
not fully understood by Peter and the Jerusalem church, which was still
composed of Jewish believers only. They did not understand God’s plan, nor did
they understand the words of their Master, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Do
not go in the way of the Gentiles”</i> because Israelites were lost through the
loss of their original identity. They adopted the Gentile ways and blended;
these, Jesus came to find, and bring in to the fold. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
[John
10:16] I have <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">other sheep</b>, which are
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">not of this fold</b>; I must bring them
also, and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">they will hear My voice</b>;

There
are not two gospels and there is nothing special about the Church, just as
there is nothing special about the Jew. Rivalry is futile. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands
forever</i> (Isaiah 40:8). What it all leads to is self-nullification, which
then acquires the God-identity, which Jesus had practiced. All things are then
explained and made simple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Being
saved is not the ultimate goal for as the word implies one is only saved from…
One is in, and lives forever. But just as there are gradations of attainment,
even perfection; we should not rest in the Gospel of Grace reassuring ourselves
of being saved, but rather going deeper into God’s Kingdom. When you drown, and
someone throws you a lifesaver, you do not sit on the lifesaver and drift to nowhere, but you
get to the shore, or into a boat that brings you to the shore. Why this is so
important? – Because of the danger of falling away and losing one’s soul. </div>

[Matthew
10:28] Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
*[NOTE]
The Hebrew word “Abaddon” and its Greek equivalent “Apollyon” speak of utter
destruction. It is also believed that an angel of destruction brings this
about. Gehenna is a derivative of the Hebrew Gehinnom a valley of Ben Hinnom
outside Jerusalem where refuse was being burned day and night. From this
allegory comes hell.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Partake
of the rich (Jewish) root of the cultivated olive tree (Rom. 11:17); these
riches are not to be wasted. God’s dealings with Israel and then with Judah
were for no other reason, but to introduce to the Gentiles His glory and His absolute sovereignty over the entire creation. For this God used Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego and Daniel to show
the kings of Babylon and Persia that there are no other gods. He shone His
bright light into their darkened minds and revealed Himself as the only One
God. The result was: the three kings, Nebuchadnezzar, Darius and Cyrus
proclaimed the God of the Jews to be the only one God in the whole world.
Success! Mission accomplished. Jews returned home to Zion.<br />
<br />
The same is
happening today. As Jews return to Zion they leave behind Christianity, but
only the remnant will be perfected. These changes happen right now. Those of us
who are Israeli Jews (émigré) are called to teach the Gentile Christians their
heritage today, and then close the chapter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
God
had temporarily and partially hardened, and blinded the Jew (Romans 11:8); until
the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. This fullness means the complete number of
the lost sheep. All Israelites are then brought into the fold - the number only
God knows about.<br />
<br />
Just as Joseph in Egypt no longer looked like an Israelite, but like an Egyptian, so is the case with the lost sheep. They are not recognizable,
except when they hear the Gospel of the Kingdom and the Gospel of Grace.
Whichever gospel stirs and triggers response it acts like a fisherman’s dragnet
catching the fish God has in mind. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
[Romans
10:14; 17] How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How
will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">how will they hear without a preacher?</b> [17] So <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">faith comes from hearing</b>, and hearing by the word of Christ.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Clearly,
there must be an evangelist, a sound and the addressing of a hearer. After that
sound heaven is stirred bringing the heavenly gift of faith (1Corinthians 12:9). God's faith then comes to save.<br />
<br />
Our faith accepts that which is being preached. In other
words our faith makes room for God’s faith and that is called NAVEH in Hebrew,
faith’s habitation. </div>

Jews
could not accept Christ as their Messiah 2000 years ago because it was not yet
the time. In His omniscience God saw it all. He saw His lost sheep for He does
not give up on something He Himself affixed to eternity. How could He? The
means of finding them may be questionable to a Jew, but not to the Christian.
Nonetheless, it is God’s way and not our theological way. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Look
at God’s grace. God gave one dispensation to the Jew and another to the Gentile
who still searches for identity. That identity is no race, culture, or
religious belonging, but the Father of us all. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in</i> (Rom. 11:25)… until
then these two dispensations remain. By grace the Gentile is saved and grafted
into the cultivated olive tree. But is the Gentile really partaking of this rich root?

Joseph
was not integrated into Israel’s tribes, but instead his two sons, Ephraim and
Manasseh. Joseph is a type of Jesus. Egypt is synonymously called the world.
Jesus is taken for a Christian god and does not look Jewish anymore. Joseph

his companions… This is the Christian Church. There will come a time when only
in famine Jesus can be recognized as the Messiah. This famine is coming. </div>

The
idea of Moses receiving the Torah in one long sentence without pauses settled
well with the proponents of the Bible codes. A computer program skips a number
of letters from which it makes legible sense making up words and sentences. It
suits us to believe that God is like an all-knowing computer. In the age of
computers and astounding connectivity the microprocessors stream out more new
information than human brain ever could. Naturally we attribute these qualities
to the Almighty. But why do we need to have a tradition of an acceptance of
someone who affirmatively and authoritatively taught it; be it a saintly Rabbi
or a scholar? When it suits us we take their statements as true and when it
does not we do not bother. This selectivity is typical of the inquisitive human
beings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

This
world of ours is filled with mysteries. We will never explain everything we
stumble upon in our life. My task is to draw attention not to mysteries,
sensationalizing something that needs no spin in order to grab someone’s attention,
but rather to the straight and simple thoughts. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
I
have no problem with 6000 years or 60,000 years, 600,000 or 6million years. The
24-hour time intervals were not the same 6000 years ago as they are today. Call
it an abstract thought, but why? [2Peter 3:8] <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">with the Lord one day is like a <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">thousand</span>
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">years</span>, and a <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">thousand</span> <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">years</span> like one day.</i> Time changes. The earth changes, gravity
and distances, because everything moves and ages. The Universe expands and with
it time. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
No
matter how smart our calculations of time may be; they prove nothing. A blind
belief in the Bible as God’s (final) Word also proves nothing. What do you do
after you have established that the Bible is God’s True Word? Will you push
your own dogma to wrap someone around your own finger and then, I suppose,
sell? Commercialism is usually at the bottom of any camp building and man’s
dogmas. The first stage is to make someone believe and then based on that
belief we sell this by ‘driving a screw into people’s heads’ telling them that
they need it. We sensationalize things to draw people not to God and His Truth,
but to ourselves, to our teaching, just to make a big splash. The egocentric
works of self know no limits and no temperance. It is impertinent, but often
well concealed. This “classy” way of getting away with one’s secret agenda is
quite common. Into this Kenite system we fell like a fly into a honey jar and
like to swim in. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
The
driving of the screw into people’s heads—that the Bible being the infallible Word
of God, final and wholesome—has a purpose, as it has been partially explained already.
It has to do with recruitment. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
An
opportunity arises when one can steady someone’s wobbling beliefs. One camp is
not truer than another camp, but that’s what is happening. Today agnostics and atheists
stand in stark contrast to believers the proponents of the Bible as the
complete and invariable Word of God. These contrasts speak volumes. Without
contrasts there are no choices. The logic we derive from the Bible is that
ultimately it comes down to our choice between right and wrong, good and evil. Therefore
spotting those elements is what the Creator is really after. One must not
choose one camp over another. One cannot brand a denomination, scientific or
even an agnostic community as being good or evil, for that is subjective. These
kind of attitudes come from sentiments strife and yes restlessness; and when nurtured
they do not promote intelligence for intelligence thrives in peace. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
What
speaks volumes is this verse, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Seek peace
and pursue it”</i> (New Testament of the Bible, 1Peter 3:11). Another verse is
Matthew 5:9, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Blessed are the peacemakers
for they shall be called sons of God.”</i> When we concentrate on making peace
we will also start creating this rare commodity. The overpowering of evil with
good is overpowering war with peace (Romans 12:21), for only in peace we walk
and think straight. It is never one beliefs camp, or disbelief, versus another.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
When
labeling a denomination as being Christian, or not being one, has to do with
definitions of Christianity. This sort of a trend had its start during the
Hellenistic period by the Hasmoneans who called up a cast of Pharisees. Their
job was to fix Jewish beliefs and formerly establish Judaism as the official
Jewish religion. When Jesus came He shook up those fixed beliefs, which were
worked on for over 200 years. Why? Freedom is what God loves. God frees while
man binds. In Christianity, under the Roman Emperor Constantine the Christian
church did the same by unifying tenets of faith, but that was to centralize and
control. In this kind of a system an independent thinker was branded a heretic.
Personal and free relationship with God was also heretical, etc. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Times
have changed but did man change? Denominationalism, sectarianism, political
parties; groups with centralized and narrowed down beliefs systems oppose each
other. It is a form of appeasement of those warring and restless genes in us.
Competitions, championships and trophies (in sports) stem from the same need;
to appease rather than give vent to self-definitions and pride, which too often
result in killing and destruction. Only after disasters man thinks of God and
heaven, but instead of creating peace man is busy creating more camps, which
eventually rival each other. With that frame of mind man turned his thoughts to
God and heaven; and in search of answers has imagined that the first war was in
heaven. One of such books is the Book of Jubilee, which is a complete nonsense
and shall remain as such forever e.g., <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">fallen
angels came down to earth and taught us magic and witchcraft</i>, etc. Instead
of working on ourselves we look externally seeking to blame something or
someone and… our restlessness experiences no healing peace. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
What
is going on? Why do we keep on defining things and settling them as final
doctrines and why do we settle theories and beliefs? What’s wrong with keeping things
suspended in the on-rolling time? And even if we have never settled something,
which we would like to be in the imaginary control of, would we be so unhappy
then? Observing that which is and not concluding, not yet, and again not yet…
for infinity, is the way to go. There comes the blaming finger, “you said it
and now you have changed.” What’s wrong with progress and refinement? “If you no
longer believe this and that?” Why don’t you ask what changed it e.g., “do you
have something better, truer, reasonable or stronger?” The answer can be
a disappointment with something one strongly believed in, or one can tell what
invalidated the old belief, which is an acceptance of something to be true. If
I do not accept what I once have accepted as being true then I must have
something higher and much better. And that’s the case with me today. </div>

Today
Darwin’s evolution theory became like a worn-out garment with too many holes.
To patch up this moth-eaten garment is impossible. Carbon-14 testing is also
worn-out and has stopped being accurate, but was it ever? We send man to the moon
and robots to Mars, but when a commercial plane disappears from the radar
screen; no one can find it on this rather small planet. Billions of dollars has
been made from publications on evolution and more is to be made, which is okay
as long as we are willing to change as new evidences present themselves. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
What
baffles archeologists today is the recent discovery of the upright walking
ARDI, (Ardipithecus Ramidus). The elected “honorable” chimp fell off its throne
and stopped being the ancestor of human beings. The evolutionary missing links
still go missing. One laughs at another, but the one who really laughs is the
Creator (Ps. 2:4). </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: #7f6000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Study
the Creator who is Spirit and whom you are unable to define or control and you

The
ardent defense of the evolutionary theory, in my view, was a waste of time,
which could have been used on something much better than just examination of
fossils. We can study fossils, but not conclude. Let the unanswered questions
remain unanswered. What’s wrong with that? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Man
has no faith, which he claims to possess and uses, but only to define something
loose. Little information must not necessarily produce one’s belief. After that one seeks to prove that he or she was right all along. That’s man’s
foolish faith. True faith needs no such help for it is gift divine, which comes
and goes and it is indeed miraculous. <a href="http://levibenrubin.org/supernatural.html" target="_blank">Verifiably, I state it to be so.</a> One can
accept my experiences with the supernatural or not, it does not bother me one
bit if someone does not believe. In fact I do not expect anyone to believe when
someone does not want to. The fact remains. I have experienced the welling up
in me of the supernatural force of faith and then I have seen the miraculous
first hand. There were times when miracles happened quite naturally; and there
were times where I could do nothing for I experienced nothing. The gift of
faith comes and goes and comes to us at special occasions. During those
instances we no longer believe or hope, but know. This knowledge is wonderful
for it contains not one shadow of any doubt, but is absolute surety. But again,
there are times when that surety is not there. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Here
is the point: we must study the reasons behind the arrival of this awesome gift
of faith; when and why it comes and to whom; its infusion and its departure.
What draws it, who draws it and why? This study produces the desirable fruit,
which I must state here that I already know, but in a sense it is tricky,
because it deals with my knowing of the human makeup, the psyche and general
disposition. Because man hides many things; and most of the time pretends to be
someone he or she is not; the knowledge of the (heavenly) Truth only irritates.
The Truth wants to strip man of hypocrisy, which pretense is, but too often is
not permitted. Therefore, whoever lives a truer life before God and is truer to
self one finds favor, which I can see when the gift of faith wells up in me;
and then it brings awareness. In no time miracles take place, be it physical
instantaneous healing or even the expulsion of death in which place comes life.
The Spirit of Life works on this basis. God wants to be compassionate to whom
He will show compassion and be gracious to whomever He wants to be gracious
(Exodus 33:19). These are the conditions; that is why it is quite difficult to
teach people complete honesty and truthfulness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
When
the hidden secrets of mind and heart are addressed man would quickly try to
call it as being false because these revelations tear down the mask of
pretense. The protest may be inner and never come out, but that is even worse
for it breeds turmoil. Before one can experience the awesome power of God one
must at all cost seek to be true to him or herself and with their Creator.</div>

<h2>
A FULLY REFORMED MIND</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Israel was told to believe and proclaim the only one God: Shmah (Hear) oh Israel Addonay (the LORD) Eloheinu (our God) Ahad (He is one).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From this we understand that beside Him there are no other gods, good or bad nor demigods (Greek mythology). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Hellenized Jewish mind was impaired. How? The monotheistic belief was compromised.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It started with Zoroaster and the division of God’s Universe into light and darkness although it is written that in God’s eyes both were very good (Genesis 1:18).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From this came Satan the prince of darkness, as if he were the ruler over the domain of darkness while God was only restricted to light.<br />
<br />
<b>Thus we threw away God’s complete over all of His own creation sovereignty.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li>Was that good or bad?</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li>Why did we do that?</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When you make a god of darkness then quite naturally you itch to find out what’s hidden in darkness. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A reformed mind acquires light with which he or she shines into darkness in order to find out what’s REALLY (in truth) in it. Everything else is illusion and speculation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Truth is the light. Study it and your mind will be reformed and it will bring healing to your body. Yes, it passes through your renewed mind and soul. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h2>
Monotheism</h2>
The monotheistic Jewish mind had been hijacked. This mentality the Jews brought into the post-Persia Holy Land, which was ruled by Greece and which later the Romans named Palestine.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To the Monotheistic Jewish mind the Hellenistic period was most devastating.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

The Maccabees initiated a lengthy warfare against the Greeks. Because of their partial success the Romans, who conquered Greece, gave self governance to the Jews on Jerusalem’s Temple Mt. It was during that period that Jesus appeared in the temple.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Jewish monotheistic thought under Babylon, Persia and Greece was compromised to the point of being totally lost.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We see God’s intervention in this.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
God raised the Maccabees, now the Hasmonean princes and they appointed the Prusheem.<br />
<br />
This cast of Pharisees was appointed to teach the compromised and almost lost Jewish population the tenets of Judaism. They taught the original Jewish thought, yet still compromised, because the teachers had a selfish interest in it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Over a period of about 200 years, many of the Pharisees were not even of the Jewish lineage, but were themselves Greeks, and so dualism (God vs. Satan) still plowed their mind; hence, the invention of a Beelzebub or Beelzebul; demonology and demonic hierarchies.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h3>
When Jesus appeared on the scene:</h3>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">[Mark 3:22-26] The scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and “He casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons.” [23] And He called them to Himself and began speaking to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan? [24] If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. [25] If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. (...) [26] If Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but </span><b>he is finished</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">!</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">When and where is Satan finished?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Through proper understanding we reform our minds.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In Catholicism this sensation (hidden things in darkness) took hold of the monks’ mind as well as of St. Augustine who started his speculation with Luke 10:18. “I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning.” From this he created the fall of Satan, which the Latin Catholic Bible called Lucifer (Isaiah 14).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Isaiah (14) speaks of picking up a taunt against the king of Babylon. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
[Isaiah 14:1] “When the LORD will have compassion on Jacob and again choose Israel, and settle them in their own land, then strangers will join them and attach themselves to the house of Jacob.”</blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is something to do with Israel and the Jews at which point the Jews were still in diaspora and were looked upon as a strange bunch of people. (no one really cared to find out who they really were. This led to the popular replacement theology, which continues to this day. But since it was a Gentile invention no one really cared about the Jew and his return to the land as it is today.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
[Is. 14:16] “Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms?”</blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Clearly, it speaks of a man and not of an angel, but a fantasy-driven mind craves the sensational.</div>

<b>Catholic notions of angelic hierarchies further plowed the sensationally driven mind seeking dualism, pluralism, and eventually making heaven impure and God the Creator of all things imperfect. Thus they have sinned against God.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
No man can plead for them, unless they repent and beg for mercy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The blame shifts to the perfect God and perfect heaven making it imperfect where intrigues, plots and angelic free-will is possible. Just because this happens on earth those short-sighted imbeciles have imagined that it must be the same in heaven. How can the physical perceptions ever interpret the heavenly things?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. To plot one needs time. - Heaven is timeless.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. To hide the plot one needs darkness. - Heaven has no darkness but only light.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. No lie can hide in heaven, which is ruled by the Truth.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. No unrest or war is possible in heaven, for God is one and instant.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have noticed that most people do not discuss anything with me or argue any case. I think that they have noticed that they have no chance in winning, so they remain silent. And that's sad, because wrangling over things is not the way to go. In western Anglo societies this believing in things is a big thing. You believe, You don't believe. Let's dissect this word: one says it's a snake another earthworm, no it's a dog, another believes it's a cat. Come closer take a better look and make a statement without believing. Knowledge surpasses believing.<br />
<br />
We Jews don't believe, we just don't, 1. we know or 2. don't know but about the latter (2) we don't say. Why? because we want to know but it takes time, so until we really know and can make a statement of certainty we stay quiet.<br />
<br />
Christians believe, for so they were taught as if the wagon goes before the horse. Israel grumbled and got miracles, at least they were honest about what they felt and were experiencing. God is merciful and He is Spirit, He suffers no hunger or thirst, His feet don't swell from too much walking. He knows your situation better than you do. He is not lovey-dovy-sugar-daddy that can be easily appeased with our gifts, He owns everything. Once we act this way and it falls under the laws He created then automatically things begin to change. <br />
<br />
Things will change 100% guaranteed, and I can prove it by teaching you these laws and showing you real miracles.<br />
<br />
It may sound cocky (to an Anglo Westerner, but not an Israeli), but facts are facts, why should I lie?<br />
<br />
Grumble to God and He will answer. Pagans always tried to please gods, so they believed and sacrificed in order to appease them and gain favor, they supposed... That mentality is still very much alive in Christianity, only that instead of gods, Christians proclaim their faith in Jesus. That's perfectly all right for that is Evangelism, but what lies behind the door? Jesus is only an entry, the Door, the Way to God and His Kingdom. Go further and deeper. <span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}" data-reactid=".q.1:3:1:$comment1468684890035198_1469238449979842:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.0:$comment-body"><span class="UFICommentBody" data-reactid=".q.1:3:1:$comment1468684890035198_1469238449979842:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.0:$comment-body.0"><span data-reactid=".q.1:3:1:$comment1468684890035198_1469238449979842:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.0:$comment-body.0.$end:0:$0:0">Now that we have entered through God's Firstborn Son into God's Kingdom; we explore the Father's house.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">When you read the Book of Revelations (written for the Greek mind) and the Book of Hebrews written to the Jews you will discover a startling difference. Apostle Paul claimed to be a Benjaminate so in those days he had to convert to Judaism in order to be a kosher Jew. Not once did Paul affirmatively declared being a Jew (from Judah), but an Israelite (Romans 11:1). Most likely he converted under rabbi Gamaliel and was then circumcised and then he did the same to Timothy so that they could enter the Jewish temple in Jerusalem. Paul did many compromises and today there is much confusion in Christian circles about the law and grace etc. All of this is simple and plain and I can explain it all logically; and very clearly; and thus bring peace. </span><br />
<br />
<i>[Hebrews 6:1] Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God.</i><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The danger of falling away is always there because of this baby state (like the baptists) who only hold on to their salvation and do not "dare" to go any further. Then they teach about Christian lifestyle, as if by eating baby food one gets the strength to. Salvation comes in a Jewish package: Read John 4:22-24. There is the solid food also. <br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>[Hebrews 6:2-6] of instruction about washings and laying on of hands, and the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment. [3] And this we will do, if God permits. [4] For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, [5] and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, [6] and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance</i><br />

Why some have fallen away and are unable to return? And if they try they really have a hard time. That first wonderful spirit of grace is not there anymore. I met such people and was astounded, they honestly said that they can't return anymore, and it was not by their interpretation of this verse of Hebrews 6:6. They even did not know about what is written. They have fallen away because they romanced the border and have not gone deeper in to the Kingdom. They have not experienced the true pleasures of the discovery of God and who He really is. They have not experienced the showers of His love. They fell in love with only the (limited) flesh and like a hamster in a (exercise) wheel keep on running in circles and like dogs sometimes do they keep on chasing their own tales. <br />
<br />
<h3>
A mixture of anything spiritual and the flesh results only in religiousness. </h3>
<br />
"Let us press on to maturity" - this word maturity in Greek means perfection it is the same word Jesus used in Matthew 5:48. Getting further away from the border and going deeper into God's Kingdom. Imagine a circle and smack in the middle of it the Perfect God.<br />
<br />
Enoch walked with God until he was no more. Grave lost power over Enoch.<br />

Here are three excerpt from the latest book FREEDOM DIVINE.<br />
<br />
[1] A free person does not hate someone still in bondage, but rather feels compassion. But a bound up person often hates the free. According to some ‘one is too free’ why? Are you afraid of liberation? Do you trust yourself or the one IN you? If you do not trust yourself with freedom then there is too much of religious bondage in you and not enough of the LIVING GOD.<br /><br />[2] When you are bound you will be uncomfortable hearing about true freedom. This discomfort comes unexpectedly from the subconscious regions of your soul; it’s a feeling. Now, we can use that rational mind with which we can ‘enslave’ that feeling and make it obey those new thoughts of freedom. It’s a psychological reversal: instead of enslaving this fearful feeling I overpower it with the liberating thought, which in turn creates a brand new feeling. When we do that often then the liberating thoughts will create feelings of boldness and freedom. Those feelings will be established for the righteous is as bold as a lion (Prov. 28:1). A bound up person cannot be bold. The renewal of mind is rooted in freedom and it must break all psychological bonds. And when that happens the spiritual realm next to you become so close that you can actually step into it and blend with.<br /><br />Feelings of caution, timidity or doubt never come from the Holy Spirit for had they come from Him then He would have ministered bondage rather than freedom, space and grace.<br /><br />[3] If Jesus were not free, He could not bring freedom. If I were not free I could never teach you freedom. Like a soldier in a uniform obeying commands of my superiors I would only keep on beating on the same dead horse. But God chose me for something special; something I was aware of my entire life. Our freedom is so precious to the Father that He sends liberators like Moses, Samson, Gideon, Elijah and finally Jesus His firstborn. What makes a general superior to a soldier? A soldier can also become a general. But the religious generals covered well their behinds by enslaving us all to their immovable doctrines. Today people are actually afraid of anything new, because - I’m sorry to say - they are not free. They wear the old garment and eat stale bread for it is ‘safer’ that way. <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #7f6000;">CONNECTIONS</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
No matter what we go through we will always deal with connections between people, but above all a connection to God, which is always through vessels He appoints for that very reason.<br />
<br />
Jesus is in heaven and now we are His body on earth, His agents and ambassadors, but not all. Shepherds and sheep, teachers and pupils, etc., … God anoints one for another in order to bring people closer to Himself. His vessels must be pleasing to Him for although King Saul was anointed he was displeasing to God. Saul was people’s choice, which God allowed, but certainly he was not God’s choice. Right here we learn something that should change our thinking. There are self-appointed people who play religion and God appointed vessels. Based on these two we must be led of the Spirit and discern as to which one is which. God’s judgment falls because of our ignorance and often willingly chosen for conveniences’ sake. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The story of Saul and David continues through the ages. The one who is pleasing to God must run being persecuted by the one who appointed himself or was made so by flesh-and-blood earthly agents. People assume. People pretend and play theater before others and with themselves. They are important in their own eyes and look with disdain upon those God truly chose. Inevitably, God's judgments must fall and they do fall; and in the process they fall even on the one who was connected to God's beloved; yet totally unnecessarily so. Jonathan died like his father.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #7f6000;">PRIORITIES</span><br />
<br />
It is hard to explain it all, but not impossible. God’s judgments can be compared to cut down trees for when on tree is sick even a new stem of the same root is cut and uprooted. God looks at the genetic pool, but He does not judge you because of a belonging, but rather that you have made the fleshly connection a priority.<br />
<br />
It would have been better for Jonathan if he had deserted Saul’s household and joined David. However, that takes a spiritual insight. Often staying with the king (Saul) living in a palace and being served by the royal attendants is much more convenient and important. God is tough. His love is tough because He is a covenant keeping God. For Jonathan to part with and take a gamble on the next king was not feasible. Jonathan's foresight was not deep enough nor his will strong enough.<br />
<br />
Jesus said <i>[Luke 11:23] "He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me, scatters." He also said [Matthew 10:37] “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me."</i> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
So, Jonathan loved his father and the royal household more than the divine connection with David and God’s awesome love.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #7f6000;">HEARING GOD</span><br />
<br />
Saul played religion every possible way, but not even once God spoke to him. Saul even “prophesied” it was said, but he was only among the prophets; he fell to the ground and lay naked all day long, powerfully and religiously so. But when it came to hearing God for himself he got nothing. Saul kept on sacrificing and 'licked Samuel's boots' trying to please the man of God. <br />
<br />
<i>[Proverbs 15:8 & 28:9] The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but the prayer of the upright is His delight. (…) He who turns away his ear from listening to the law, even his prayer is an abomination.</i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #7f6000;">SELF-PROJECTED ILLUSIONS</span><br />
<br />
Regardless how we go about our life on this planet, eventually we will be confronted with the plain and undeniable truth, but will it then be too late for some? God's judgments keep on falling since the expulsion from Eden and from the cross of Jesus onward. So what that Jesus was chosen a hero of the new religion in whose name beheadings and burnings were committed and all sorts of political maneuverings only to establish man’s religious kingdoms and never God’s. So what that for selfish reasons we use the name of Jesus as if the magical would happen when we do. You can say ten thousand times “In Jesus’ name, in Jesus' name...” and the magical won’t happen. We assume too much and then must live with these self-projected illusions. <br />
<br />
<i>[Isaiah 30:10] Who say to the seers, “You must not see visions”; and to the prophets, “You must not prophesy to us what is right, speak to us pleasant words, prophesy illusions.” <br /><br />[Psalms 51:6] Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being, and in the hidden part You will make me know wisdom.</i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #7f6000;">A MAN IN WHITE</span><br />
<br />
On the first day of Rosh Ha Shannah around 3 AM a man in white walked into my room. He was big, but very pleasant. I was at all not frightened as if I knew him. This man walked straight on to me as if trying to get inside me. I said, “Do you need anything? Can I help you?” I turned on the light and remained sleepless for the rest of the night. I went downstairs and all of a sudden I saw through the entire humanity. This powerful awareness was incredible. I saw everything, I heard everything I was like God Himself and then I heard voice asking me, “Do you want to be Me and see all that I see.” I trembled and said, “Oh no Lord. Why do you ask?” Then He said, “Do you see what I have to go through?” I wept.<br />
<br />
This angel in my room was on a mission of visiting all human households on the planet. His move, as if trying to get inside me, was to… well the above just explained it, didn’t it? I asked to be normal again, and not see and not hear what God sees and hears.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #7f6000;">NO FUN BEING A PROPHET</span><br />
<br />
I have no desire to parade anything or display myself like a flashing neon advertisement in New York's Time Square. I do not care to be a prophet. All true prophets were murdered; they only suffered. So I keep many things to myself. What I write here is to let you know that I see much more and hear much more than I let out. I shared it with my wife. Now I share it with you.<br />
<br />
Jesus said, <i>[Matthew 12:34] “You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak what is good? For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart.”</i><br />
<br />
Those were powerful words for Jesus the Truth used His X-Ray vision. He saw through the religious hypocrisy. It's amazing. I have numerously seen this; people look in my face and lie and don’t even blink. When I try to let them know what I see, they deny, just as the hypocrites Pharisees did and then they are on the offensive. Like a heat-seeking missile they target me. So what do I do? I go away.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #7f6000;">LEAVE ALL JUDGMENTS UP TO THE GREAT JUDGE</span><br />
<br />
Today I leave all judgments to God, although I was there first. It is like being on a speeding train about to be derailed, I either pull the emergency brake or jump off the train. Judgments then fall, yet totally unnecessarily so and yes, it is God’s love interacting with us. His garments become too heavy being laden and heavily saturated with undealt with and unreported for human discharges. He shakes those garments off and then that which man pinned on God, his vile bile falls back on him. “Let the polluted be more polluted, but let the holy be more holy.” Those are God’s judgments. You throw chaff in the air and then wind blows it back in your face.<br />
<br />
<i>[Matthew 23:31-32] So you testify against yourselves, that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up, then, the measure of the guilt of your fathers.</i><br />
<br />
And then… judgment falls. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #7f6000;">WHOSE PRAYER GOD HEARS</span><br />
<br />
In Genesis 20:7-18 we read that God answered Abraham's prayer. God also answered Job's prayer for his friends. God answered David's prayer, but not Saul's, etc. Regardless how special people want to feel the fact remains that God appoints servants/vessels; those that found favor in His eyes and He hears their prayers for in fact they are His intercessors. But if there is no connection made between the one, which God had already sent, and the word He channels through that vessel; then all too often people die; although again, totally unnecessarily so. That's the reality.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">No matter what we go through we will always deal with connections between people, but above all a connection to God, which is always through vessels He appoints for that very reason.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Jesus is in heaven and now we are His body on earth, His agents and ambassadors, but not all. Shepherds and sheep, teachers and pupils, etc., …</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">God anoints one for another in order to bring people closer to Himself. His vessels must be pleasing to Him for although King Saul was anointed he was displeasing to God. Saul was people’s choice, which God allowed, but certainly he was not God’s choice. Right here we learn something that should change our thinking. There are self-appointed people who play religion and God appointed vessels. Based on these two we must be led of the Spirit and discern as to which one is which. God’s judgment falls because of our ignorance and often willingly chosen for conveniences’ sake. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The story of Saul and David continues through the ages. The one who is pleasing to God must run being persecuted by the one who appointed himself or was made so by flesh-and-blood earthly agents. People assume. People pretend and play theater before others and with themselves. They are important in their own eyes and look with disdain upon those God truly chose. Inevitably, God's judgments must fall and they do fall; and in the process they fall even on the one who was connected to God's beloved; yet totally unnecessarily so. Jonathan died like his father.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #7f6000;"><span style="font-size: small;">PRIORITIES</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">It is hard to explain it all, but not impossible. God’s judgments can be compared to cut down trees for when on tree is sick even a new stem of the same root is cut and uprooted. God looks at the genetic pool, but He does not judge you because of a belonging, but rather that you have made the fleshly connection a priority.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">It would have been better for Jonathan if he had deserted Saul’s household and joined David. However, that takes a spiritual insight. Often staying with the king (Saul) living in a palace and being served by the royal attendants is much more convenient and important. God is tough. His love is tough because He is a covenant keeping God. For Jonathan to part with and take a gamble on the next king was not feasible. Jonathan's foresight was not deep enough nor his will strong enough.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Jesus said [Luke 11:23] "He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me, scatters." He also said [Matthew 10:37] “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me." So Jonathan loved his father and the royal household more than the divine connection with David and God’s awesome love.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #7f6000;"><span style="font-size: small;">HEARING GOD</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Saul played religion every possible way, but not even once God spoke to him. Saul even “prophesied” it was said, but he was only among the prophets; he fell to the ground and lay naked all day long, powerfully and religiously so. But when it came to hearing God for himself he got nothing. Saul kept on sacrificing and 'licked Samuel's boots' trying to please the man of God. </span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;">[Proverbs 15:8 & 28:9] The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but the prayer of the upright is His delight. (…) He who turns away his ear from listening to the law, even his prayer is an abomination.</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #7f6000;"><span style="font-size: small;">SELF-PROJECTED ILLUSIONS</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Regardless how we go about our life on this planet eventually we will be confronted with the plain and undeniable truth, but will it then be too late for some? God's judgments keep on falling since the expulsion from Eden and from the cross of Jesus onward. So what that Jesus was taken as hero of the new religion in whose name beheadings and burnings were committed and all sorts of political of maneuverings establishing man’s kingdoms and not God’s.

<span class="bPara"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="bPara">Saul's cup of wicked stupidity had reached the brim and it spilled over when he went to see the witch of En-Dor. The very next day he and his son Jonathan died. Although Jonathan had nothing to do with his father's foolishness yet he was slain and perished alongside his father. "It's not fair" you might protest and I would say the same and fully agree with you, but God is God; He is righteous and not fair. This absence of fairness (human term) led many to invent another god like Satan, which later was called the devil, as God's competition perhaps to ease our uneasiness about the loving God Christianity proclaims (St. John). God is love, but not a wish-washy kind of love; therefore it would a be very good idea to come out from our own subjective interpretations as to what God ought to be like and study His true character. This forsaking of my own, sort of coming out from my "own" skin and getting inside His is greatly beneficial because then we do not try to make for ourselves a human god. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="bPara"></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="bPara">God is above any human imagination. The tiny scraps of information we glean from the Bible; notwithstanding volumes upon volumes written by the Hebrew people; do no justice to the true character of God. He is above all of His own creation. All laws and definitions as those dealt with in the Torah, Mishna, Gemara or even the entire Talmud are but man's interpretations. We must address the heart of the matter, and nothing else but God's heart: God's love is covenantal, intense and possessive. His choices, anointing and gifts are eternal and permanent. There is no changing or variation in God's final and everlasting decisions. As much as the non-Jewish nations would like to see the Jew being terminated and God's covenant with His people withdrawn the covenant stands forever; for if God was changeable like the masses are then we would have only a god of our own making. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="bPara">A pagan god was made up. Israel's God is the one who made all things in existence. We do not choose Him; He chooses us; and exactly because of those choices His intense jealous love flairs up in fiery outbreaks. These outbreaks are His judgments.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span class="bV"><span class="bPt">When Deuteronomy 30:1-8 is fully complete the Omniscient God will again demonstrate His absolute sovereignty over all that He Himself created and for His own pleasure. And as hard as it may seem to imagine that one person made the endless Universe so hard it is for us to imagine that it was His plan to disperse the Jew into every country upon the face of the earth only to regather him back to His own land at His own appointed time. And yet, here it is, so please don't skip any of these sentences, please discipline your mind to understand His omniscience and absolute sovereignty:</span></span></div>

<span class="bV"><span class="bPt">The above was written about 3500 years ago. God knew what will take place.

<span class="bV"><span class="bPt">In this world of easily accessible information we are judged by our choices. Some go to astrology, others to mystical and very much sensational speculations about Antichrist, the Beast, 666, Armageddon, tribulation and rapture and of course the Marriage Supper of the Lamb etc, and yet the plain truth is right in front of their eyes, yet it</span></span><span class="bV"><span class="bPt"> may seem too
astoundingly simple and plain... Why must we go for the farfetched things
from out there on the limb and keep on feeding that pagan nature of ours
with vain imaginations? </span></span><br />
<br />
<b><span class="bV"><span class="bPt">Many shall be judged for relaxing their brains too much and even for pleading ignorance. </span></span></b><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="bV"><span class="bPt">In Romans 11:25 we are admonished to not be ignorant, like the fools are and they are indeed fools by choice; and by rejecting something dear to God's heart. Do not be arrogant, do not be proud, conceited in your own estimation (St. Paul says)... It is always our own, which is nonexistent; therefore illusion.</span></span></div>

They never returned to collect them. The man with tears in his eyes said, "It does not belong to me, it should be in Jewish hands." He left quickly without giving me his name. To this day I do not know his nor the victims' names. I still have this set, which we have not used even once. It is there for a memorial. How many buildings erected by Jews contain no information even a plaque of any kind with the history of a building. People live in cursed apartments and they do not in total ignorance, but God sees it all. If you move into a place at least avail yourself with the right information as to who built it and to whom this building belonged. Oblivion always calls for judgments. Just as God commanded His people to observe His word, place a Mazuza on their doorposts and many other memorials; so it must be true with everything else. Learn His ways please; that's what the fear of God really means. </span></span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let’s start with
scriptures that emphasize the difference between just being used of God
and the righteous and even holy living, which ultimately is the goal of
any ministry. Evangelism is necessary for it seeks the lost. Bible
teaching refines that which has been found and brought into God’s fold.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><i>[James 1:22] But prove yourselves <b>doers of the word</b>, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.<br /><br />[James 2:26] For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also <b>faith without works is dead</b>.<br /><br />[John 15:8] My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so <b>prove to be My disciples</b>.<br /><br />[Matthew
7:16-20] You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered
from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? 17 So every good
tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree
cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19
Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the
fire. 20 So then, <b>you will know them by their fruits</b>. <br /><br />[Luke
10:17; 20] The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons
are subject to us in Your name.” 20 Nevertheless,<b> do not rejoice in
this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names
are recorded in heaven.</b>”</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We do not know about any other disciples of Jesus but the seventy He sent out and who returned with great news. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><i>[John 6:60] Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this said, “This is a <b>difficult statement; who can listen to it?</b>” </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They did not humble themselves to the point of asking questions as to the meaning of Jesus’ words. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #b45f06;">[John
6:66-67] As a result of this <b>many of His disciples withdrew and were
not walking with Him anymore</b>. 67 So Jesus said to the twelve, “You do
not want to go away also, do you?”</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, the twelve are also being challenged. Peter responds with a question. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #b45f06;">[John 6:68) Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, <b>to whom shall we go</b>? You have words of eternal life. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The
difference between the seventy and the twelve is this: the seventy did
not ask questions, they did not search and therefore did not find. And
although they were used of God they were not after the fruits and
righteousness, but more after power. When challenged they left Jesus and
followed Him no more. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
God used Balaam and even his donkey. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #b45f06;">[Numbers
22:28; 32] 28 And <b>the LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said</b>
to Balaam, “What have I done to you, that you have struck me these
three times?” </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #b45f06;">32
The angel of the LORD said to him, “Why have you struck your donkey
these three times? Behold, I have come out as an <b>adversary</b> (Hebrew
<b>Satan</b>), because <b>your way was contrary to Me</b> (the LORD’s way not the
angels’ way).</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Being used of God does not
mean to be holy or even righteousness in God’s eyes. I have been used of
God since I was twelve. I brought tens of thousands of souls to Christ.
God raised four people from the dead, healed epilepsy, made the lame
walk and created nonexistent eyes, and healed numerous cancers worldwide
through my prayers, word and my hands. Am I proud of it? There is
nothing to be proud of. It is His work and not mine, nor is it my
righteousness. I only obeyed Him and yielded to His will for that
moment; and this is my fruit. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
One can be righteous and
still do the great works of God. Why should God only use donkeys,
stones, sinners or even perverts? If He does than He does it out of
necessity and this He is doing to this very day. <br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><i>[Luke 10:2] …beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out <b>laborers</b> into His harvest. </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He did not say sons, but laborers or hirelings. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
God
uses many hirelings, hired hands the laborers, but He also has sons who
do not work for rewards for they have always been in God’s house and to
them belongs everything. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have glorified faith as something magical, but faith is a gift (<span style="color: #b45f06;">1Cor. 12:9</span>)
and it comes when we prepare a place for it. The gift of faith to
believe in Christ the Savior also comes the moment Christ is preached (<span style="color: #b45f06;">Romans 10:17</span>), and yet it comes. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There
is nothing of us. God used Balaam’s mouth to utter blessings instead of
curses—as he in his heart had planned to do—but although God changed
the contents of Balaam’s mouth the son of Beor died for his own
wickedness. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Just as Pentecost is the fiftieth day after
Passover so is the year of Jubilee after 49 years (7 X 7). Each seventh year is
the year of peace, release and forgiveness of debts. God watches peace and
freedom. His perfect love does not allow oppression of any sort. His perfect joy
is not contaminated by bouts of sadness; hence it is eternally perfect. His
perfect (heavenly) peace is, and cannot ever be disturbed by the tiniest
elements of war or unrest; otherwise it would not be perfect. Tokens of
these perfections come to us in sevenths. Sabbath is the interval of love, joy,
peace and freedom. In each token we find immense riches. The deeper we go the

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The word LIBERTY in the above verse in Hebrew is
dror (<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">דרור)</span>,
which is an unused root of something that moves freely and rapidly; hence,
spontaneity and outflow of something clear and pure. Liberty, has no constrains
or restrictions and it involves no fear; hence in its character dwells the
perfect love that casts out any fear of punishment. In liberty one’s love
becomes real for one does not need to be wary of anyone’s attitudes, judgments
or condemnations through speculations; self-serving and often filled with
jealousy opinions. One is free from the desire to blend with others and to fit
in. One is free of the fear of law. Ghost stories and scary fairytales lost any
impressionable sway. When joy is not complete that means that there is a contaminant

complete peace (perfect peace that surpasses all understanding); worries for
tomorrow and insecurities are null. Through media the commercial world forces
upon us insecurities in order to cash in on them. It is like a mafia, which extorts
protection payments from a business owner. First they threaten you and then
promise to protect your from that which they have threatened you with. God is not that way, but if you read
the Scripture that way than you do not read it in the freedom of the Holy
Spirit, but quite so in a theological bondage. Someone laid down the grid for you and made
you stick to what they have outlined for you. That’s brainwashing for in it
there is no freedom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

so there is no need to deprive anyone one of anything and to covet what someone
else has for that is evil of oppression. Even jealousy, competitions, envies
and strife are evil in the sight of the LORD. An evil eye is something between
the East German-built Trabant and the newest model of Mercedes Benz. Should you
be envious because you can’t lift your own eyes to heaven and trust God for the
best? There are no limits and constraints in God’s heart. He seeks the best for
you in every department of your life. He is endless. So are you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A polish friend just asked me this: "Hello brother. I have a question for you. I have a problem with reading the Bible. It is known that translators have made mistakes; and also those who copied the original books made errors. Contamination like "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma_Johanneum" target="_blank">Comma Johanneum</a>" (Wikipedia) must also have happened. Knowing this, for me, this makes the reading the Bible all the more difficult. I do not know if what I read is true. And if I am lucky to get it right, still the mischief in me wants to trick me by dissuading me from reading the truth and believe. I do not know how to deal with it?"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
It is not possible to answer such questions with a one-liner sentence. Spiritual realm can only be painted with pictures, just as Jesus did with parables.<br />
<br />
Those who have been propagating this pious religious falsehood about the cover to cover Word of God to be taken literally with an unshaken faith propagate only their own agenda and not God's. <i>You still don't understand?... </i>Jesus often said. UNDERSTANDING as it is given by no one else but the Holy Spirit is what the appointment of the five-fold ministries is all about.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>[Ephesians 4:11-12] And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ.</i><br />
<br />
Pastors closed doors to coo-coo prophets and traveling so-called evangelists because they have messed up <b>their</b> church and <b>their</b> sheep and <b>their</b> doctrines. <br />
<br />
[John 21:15-17] “Tend <span style="color: #7f6000;"><b>My</b></span> lambs.” “Shepherd <b>*<span style="color: #7f6000;">My</span></b> sheep.” (...) He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, <b>do you love *<span style="color: #7f6000;">Me</span></b>?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “<span style="color: #7f6000;"><b>Do you love *Me</b></span>?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.” Jesus said to him, “Tend *<span style="color: #7f6000;"><b>My</b></span> sheep.<br />
<span style="color: #7f6000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #7f6000;">*If you love Jesus you will love HIS SHEEP.</span><br />
<br />
Many of those dogmatists threw away the Holy Spirit, because He has to fit into their theology. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Declaration_%281909%29" target="_blank">Also they threw away the power of the Holy Spirit for today: tongues and their interpretations, prophecies, the miraculous, knowledge, understanding and wisdom (all gifts).</a> And now they have problems with the Bible. Imagine...<br />
<br />
It is as if to say, "We do not need the five-fold ministries, e.g., the Bible Teachers (Ephesians 4:11), we have the written Word of God now." <br />
<br />
<i>[Psalms 119:144] Give me understanding that I may live. [Psalms 119:169] Give me understanding according to Your word. [Prov 1:2] To know wisdom and instruction, to discern the sayings of understanding. [Prov 1:5] And a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel.</i><br />
<br />
1. UNDERSTANDING absorbs 2. KNOWLEDGE, which when practiced produces 3. WISDOM. <br />
<br />
The second problem is this: [John 6:44] <i><span style="color: #bf9000;">No one can come to Me</span> <span style="color: #7f6000;"><b>unless the Father who sent Me draws him. </b></span></i><br />
<br />
Many people embrace religion but mostly out of fear of hell or some eternal damnation. But they have never been drawn to Jesus by the Father. If anything they have been drawn to perhaps the evolution of Christianity and the subsequent Christian theology (Catholic or Protestant). They assume lots of things and way too soon jump to conclusions. Only too readily they embrace man's theology over the personal living relationship with God, which they know nothing about, which includes understanding of His nature and of His ways.<br />
<br />
A submission to God's ways is a too farfetched idea. For one, one must know the Father; and for two, one must deal with mercy and compassion, which means; one must come out from self and feel another. If that's not possible then knowing God is also not possible. Self will never prosper with God. Self and the ego drive will eventually come in conflict with God. Hence, [Micah 6:8] <i>He has told you, O man, what is good and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?</i><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">My advise to such would be to
completely forsake any religious indoctrination. Yes, go wicked and fill your
cup with vileness; if that's what you really want. In other words, knock
yourself out, go for drugs, drunkenness and wild sexual orgies, steal and kill
and fill the cup of that mischief within your nature (some say: the original
sin). Then see the truth about yourself whether you have been totally deprived
of any fear of God the Creator or you still fear Him. Find out of you are the
tare or only a prodigal son or daughter. Until then you have only religion and
struggles with flesh or as some believe the fallen devil and his supposedly fallen demons who—we've
been repeatedly taught—work overtime to make you fall too. </span><br />

<a href="http://llwe.blogspot.com/2012/09/reformed-theology.html" target="_blank">The Last Reformation cleanses us from this senseless and blind psychology of fools who gave it to us; and from fools who still propagate it today. </a><br />
<br />
This is how I have answered his question:<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
"Hey, every error in scripture is also a test for the real you; if you are truly after the living person, God, even the Father, or only after a dogma and theological interpretations. In Poland people discuss without the culture of understanding and spiritual illumination. Dissensions are common, but only over the letter and never over the Spirit; for hardly anyone can argue with the bright light of the Spirit of Truth. You can't read the Bible dryly and dogmatically. Remember that the letter kills, but only the Spirit gives life (2Corinthians 3:6)." <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Based on this verse of Mark 12:23-27 <i>“In the resurrection, when they rise again, which one’s wife will she be? For all seven had married her.” Jesus said to them, “Is this not the reason you are mistaken, that <span style="color: #7f6000;"><b>you do not understand the Scriptures or the power of God? </b></span>For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. But regarding the fact that the dead rise again, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the burning bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living; you are greatly mistaken.”</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
If the followers of Jesus <span style="color: #7f6000;"><b>understood</b></span> His sayings they would not even be inclined to those idiotic beliefs that angels fell from heaven with Lucifer, cohabited with human women and produced giants. For winds, spirits and flames are incompatible with human flesh.<br />

The discourse is over linage, one is Cain's and the other Abraham's (through Seth). In this context those who claimed to come from Abraham said, [John 8:39; 43-44]<i> They answered and said to Him, <b>"Abraham is our father."</b> Jesus said to them, <b>"If you are Abraham’s children, do the deeds of Abraham."</b>(...) "Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because <b>you cannot hear My word</b>. <b>You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. </b>He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me." </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Cain was the first liar and murderer so Jesus does not speak about Abraham's lineage to which they subscribed, but about Cain's. Their father was not Abraham for they were Kenites and Jesus confirmed it according to their (fruits, Mat. 7:17-20) words and deeds. It is all so logical and simple. The devil was Cain and his children who imitate his deeds are devils upon this planet. Therefore Jesus told them, <i>"But as it is, you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do</i>." (John 8:40)<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">UNDERSTANDING SCRIPTURES</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
[Luke 24:45] <span style="color: #7f6000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Then <span style="color: #cc0000;">He opened their minds</span> to understand the Scriptures.</i></b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Sooner or later someone has to open your understanding of Scriptures; someone He has anointed, and then the anointed of the Lord will present you with possibilities as to the truthful (TRUE) understanding of God's mind, soul and heart instead of man's flat interpretation within the confines of an established theology.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lo and behold something new and refreshing is here. Recognize the time and the gift God sends your way. </span></span></span></div>
<br />
People make dogmas out of God's word as if He is a machine. And then based on that formulated dogma and religiousness anything else that brings a much better understanding is viewed as a threat to that "machine" with push-buttons as if we can manipulate God to our own advantage? Hardly anyone on this planet wants to see God as the ALL Mighty and fully in control over all of His creation One. The reason for this is that man got himself seduced and deceived by his own ego and is not even trying to understand the fact that it was not of his/her own doing or of his own creation when he or she plopped out of the womb. Only on a deathbed some realize it, but often it is too late to do anything about this dark and closed off box we call human mind. <br />
<br />
<i>"The letter kills but only the Spirit gives life."</i> Jesus quoted the OT so did all the apostles, but sometimes they quoted something according to that day's understanding. The list is long and it is a very big subject. But I can only give you two examples out of many.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">YOU DECIDE</span><br />
<br />
In Isaiah 53:5 we read that, <i>"By His stripes we are healed."</i> The word is (חברה) HABORAH, which would mean stripes, lashes, but the Mazoretic text reads וּבַחֲבֻרָתוֹ V' B'haborto (HABOR), which means this: and with His company or by association with Him, even by our union with Him WE ARE HEALED. However, this reading would present a problem for those who are in scriptural, ritual and of a religious mindset (where everything must be correct, sort of worshiping the Word rather than the Living Giver of it through an imperfect man). And those who are reciting "by faith" that 'I am healed by His stripes' claiming and naming (as we have done in the faith movement), etc., like some magical words, deal only with a religious dogma. But that's no problem; we all have been there. There are stages of growth and spiritual maturity. One must only be careful to not fall into a dogmatic and self-righteous kind of a pride. Too many people have died from their stubborn faith confessions. They have not sought knowledge, but only blindly believed and confessed until they lost their breath. This sort of a religion appeals to most because it suits the ego more than just annulling it. <a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/59199822/Naveh-Where-Faith-Abides" target="_blank">And yet this blind belief is being propagated to this day. </a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Those who maintain a living relationship with the person, having the central and not just a dogmatic or theological message; would rather choose the HABOR over HABORAH, which is a company, an association and union. And yet 1Peter 2:24 reads, <i>for by His wounds you were healed.</i><br />
<br />
In those days of religious indoctrination the reading of Isaiah 53 was rendered that way, religiously. When Jesus appeared, of whom Isaiah spoke, only few were able to join Him and follow.<br />
<br />
The five steps that lead to freedom from religion are these: 1. believe, 2. continue, 3. become a disciple, 4. know the truth, 5. be made free. John 8:31. That's the natural course of progress.<br />
<br />
Only few were able to continue after they had believed in Jesus; and much less follow Him (like the 70 disciples who stopped following Jesus). As a result they had not arrived at the point of the complete Truth and its subsequent fruit - FREEDOM. At which station are you? <br />
<br />
[Jeremiah 3:15-16] <i>Then I will give you <b>shepherds after My own heart,</b> who will feed you on <b>knowledge and understanding.</b> It shall be in those days when you are multiplied and increased in the land,” declares the LORD, "they will no longer say, ‘The ark of the covenant of the LORD.’ And it will not come to mind, nor will they remember it, nor will they miss it, nor will it be made again." </i><br />
<br />
Some want to have the temple made out of stones again with the Ark of the Covenant; Levitical priesthood; lightening, thunder, ceremonies, sacrifices and declarations and emphasized national pride. No one wants the God who speaks through His humble prophets like Jeremiah (verse above). We want won wars, slaughter of our enemies by the power of the Ark... national pride. Then and only then we will believe that God exists and then we'll believe that the Bible is true. And the result is? ... You've got the answer: pride and more pride. Man's ego will never be gratified and it is this crazy mechanism man worships and which drives him to the grave. <br />
<br />
No one wants to hear a prophet, or a shepherd, or an anointed servant of His. But exactly by these God's tests man's heart. Some are tares, some are just the field; others are goats; others are like the foolish virgins and others are the sheep, sons, the good seed and wise virgins. Which one are you? <br />
<br />
It is not the confessions and outwardly declared beliefs, nor ritual religion that bring us back to God, but rather understanding and knowledge. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Now, which would make a real sense to you; the stripes or the union and fellowship with Him; religion or relationship; declaration or the embrace?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">CURSE & LIGHT</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Another very interesting passage of scripture is this. Genesis 12:3 God said (Mazoretic text) וַאֲבָרְכָה, מְבָרְכֶיךָ, וּמְקַלֶּלְךָ, אָאֹר; וְנִבְרְכוּ בְךָ, כֹּל מִשְׁפְּחֹת הָאֲדָמָה. And I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curses you will I curse; and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed. The only problem is with the word אָאֹר, which does not make sense A'AR and not A'RAR (past tense for bitter affliction), cursed. To curse in this instance AROR is not used, but וּמְקַלֶּלְךָ (V'meqalel), which is a stronger word. <br />
<br />
Strong's Concordance KJV reads, "And I will bless H1288 them that bless H1288 thee, and curse H779 him that curseth H7043 thee." Notice that to bless is the same number H1288 but when we come to cursing, the first word is ARAR (H779) (bitter). The second word (H7043) "curseth" is קלל QALAL something to make sport of, despise, put down and revile. These two words drastically deviate from each other. <br />
<br />
It has to do with our understanding rather than a dogmatic indoctrination. Someone might say, 'How dare I to touch this 'holy cow" … religion has made out of God's word only to be kissed, bowed and burn incense to…' I suppose. Do you get the drift?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Many of us have dwelled for much too long under this religious self-serving indoctrination and yes, imbecility. Allow God's light to penetrate your mind today. Is it really so hard to part with the old garbage? The light reveals to us what this garbage I speak of here really is. All that I write and say is the light in which you see the past.<br />
<br />
I speak with divine authority for no one can do that unless it's been given to him from above. You must decide whether to cross the line and go deeper into the light or stay in the drabness of the past religious indoctrination.<span style="color: #bf9000;"> </span><br />

and then proceed to make yet another religious idol. Many have done so.
They have so ever ‘nicely’ bound themselves, and stand in their
self-made prison and in the process they keep on binding others to their
own subjective beliefs just to control. It is always about control of
other people because the ego craves it and the (oppressive) self wants
to dominate others. The ego constantly craves gratification and in
religion that has now been established for more than one thousand years.<br />
<br />
Then, under the reformation of Luther and beyond him, killing went on
just as it was done under Catholicism. No one who really cares for
God—or has any affection for the Creator and the Heavenly Father—would
kill another human being in disagreement over a formulated-by-man and
frozen in time doctrine.<br />
<br />
Therefore, it is the ego that torments and kills others; and that ego is
the idol man really worships.<br />
<br />
Luther killed people, so did Calvin, and
Zwingli who branded those who believed in adult baptism as Anabaptists.
Sprinkling of children is no baptism, but only a nice blessing of
dedication and there is nothing wrong with it, but it is no baptism,
which comes from (Jewish) Mikveh, which is a total immersion. Baptism
also speaks of Noah's flood in which sin and the sinner died. Therefore,
baptism is a form of cleansing and purification. <a href="http://levibenrubin.org/wp/?page_id=152" target="_blank">» Read more about it </a></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Back to Isaiah 53 & Genesis 12.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. Which is better, by having a fellowship with Jesus we get healed, or by going around and piously declaring His word?</div>
<br />
2. This one may be trickier. Literal text word for word: and I shall bless ones blessing of you and one making light of you I shall curse.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
The making light of you does not really make sense; and Hebrew scholars will agree. The Hebrew letters of Aleph Vav and Reish (אור) make up the word “Light.” But, Aleph and Aleph and Reish (אָאֹר) don't make sense.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
My rendition of this verse: <i>those that know that God blessed you (Abraham) and they bless you; on your (Abraham) account they will be blessed. But although they know who you are (Abraham) and they SEE THE LIGHT of TRUTH yet they still elect to curse you; shall curse only themselves. They shall be cursed. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
God curses no one. The power to curse had been given to us and we surely have used it like fools. There is no place in the entire Bible where it is written that God directly cursed something or someone. If any it says, cursed is, or cursed shall be you or yours. But, “I curse you” (MeQALAL) is nonexistent; only ARROR or ARAR, which is a primitive root to something bitter and which can be fixed. No pronounced curses (bitter affliction) were ever meant to be permanent. Everything can be undone through deep, true and heartfelt repentance, t'shoovah in Hebrew, which comes from the word <a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/69160696/SHOOV-Ultimate-Liberation-Of-The-Soul" target="_blank">SHOOV </a>- return. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<i>What you saw you should reap</i> (Galatians 6:7). <i>As you want others to treat you so treat them and that is the law and the prophets </i>(Matthew 7:12). It all makes sense when it is synchronized by the one Spirit of Truth and not by man's fragmented dogmas. </div>

EDUCATED FAITH, MEMORY & BRAIN IMPROVEMENT<br />
<br />
Each parable of Jesus contains a deep meaning; these are the secrets of God’s kingdom, which could not have been explained with many words. Similes and metaphors, according to our knowledge today, can only be grasped by a mind that is able to think in abstract ways. Mathematics does not improve our brain as much as abstract thinking. But this abstract thinking is actually infinite and boundless. It’s been proven that we remember better through the use of associations. For example: you have misplaced buttons, which you have planned to attach to your garment and have forgotten the place where you have left them. But if you had associated the place with a skyscraper like the Sears Tower in Chicago and then those buttons with huge wheels of a Mac Truck or an earth mover, you would have no problem finding those buttons. However, the opposite is with computers for the more data you enter the more your clutter the disc space and eventually you will run out of memory. But our brain seems to have infinite space; the more you put into it the quicker it works. The more you educate it the better it remembers and faster it connects. These opposites must be accepted with understanding. The last is first and the first is last. The great is small and the small can be great. The rich is poor and the poor can be rich… A circle has no beginning and no end. All round objects in space represent infinity; hence our earth and its moon look infinite. They might fall apart, but their debris can be re-gathered, reformed and restored back to their former round shapes.<br />

Our earth and moon may fall apart yet they exist in the mind of the Creator and also in fragments somewhere in space. All fragments in space testify of their origin, which is in the One. Even a minute dust particle can be gathered back to the unit from which it broke off. Even the fire itself that decimated a rock can be rolled back in time and reconstituted; both the fire and the rock can return to their former state. Nothing is lost.<br />
<br />
God has the substance of things hoped for, but He does not need to hope for anything for hope represents a need and anticipation, which in turn needs a span of time. God is infinite and timeless. Unlike our thoughts His thoughts are instantaneous; hence in His mind things are; and hope plays no role. To a physical person invisible and intangible things seem nonexistent, yet we also possess the proclivity to create and the capacity to can bring a thought into a visible and tangible reality.<br />
<br />
Let’s imagine that you have no brain, you live, but in a vegetating kind of state. You may breathe, but no muscle moves because it has no physical brain to command it and coordinate any movement. The physical commander is the brain; and as a result because of the commander’s absence the entire structure remains still.<br />
<br />
Let’s imagine God who is Spirit (John 4:24) and He has no contour or physical mass. Many people worship His creation as they would worship God; hence these people keep on attaching body to the Spirit. This need, to touch and physically see, is indeed enormous.<br />

A blessing awaits anyone who has not physically touched, tasted or seen and yet has believed but with what kind of faith, blind or educated hence intelligent? We glorify faith itself as something magical, so many nurture only wishful thinking in this regard. A blind faith is fruitless and it does not come from the disciplined creative part of our being, but rather from the primitive one. Like a Neanderthal who believes that he can make a kill with his javelin; so he stalks and runs toward the prey. If that kind of faith is also applied to God and the supernatural works one runs, huffs and puffs but to nowhere.<br />

An educated faith is quite different from anything else we have ever come in contact with. For example: Philip heard the Holy Spirit telling him to join the Ethiopian Eunuch traveling back to Ethiopia. Philip had heard, but hearing alone does not do the job. It’s like that flying plane that never lands. Once Philip obeyed the voice he landed on the ground and did some work. He shared the Gospel, baptized the man and then went on his way, but then that same Holy Spirit snatched him and transported him to the Azotus street, where another mission awaited Philip. (Acts 8:40) That’s an educated and intelligent faith. That faith is must bring forth the indented fruit for which it was sent; it must land on the ground like that plane, which was not only designed to fly, but also take off and land somewhere else.<br />
<br />
Faith is God’s gift; (1 Corinthians 12:9) this divine power affects the miraculous in our lives. The exclusion of this possibility brings detrimental sadness into our lives, which blinds us for we have limited ourselves with just the tangible and the seen. We activate only the natural man and neglect the spiritual man. Just as there is a need to prepare a place for love or peace in our lives <a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/59199822/Naveh-Where-Faith-Abides" target="_blank">we must also prepare room for God’s gift of faith. </a></div>

Several years ago a book was published, entitled Beyond Death’s Door by Dr.
Maurice Rawlings. Dr. Rawlings, a specialist in Internal Medicine and
Cardiovascular Disease, resuscitated many people who had been clinically dead.
Dr. Rawlings, a devout atheist, “considered all religion “hocus-pocus” and
death nothing more than a painless extinction.” But something happened in 1977
that brought a dramatic change in the life of Dr. Rawlings! He was resuscitating
a man, terrified and screaming—descending down into the flames of hell:</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">“Each time he
regained heartbeat and respiration, the patient screamed, “I am in hell!” He
was terrified and pleaded with me to help him. I was scared to death... Then I
noticed a genuinely alarmed look on his face. He had a terrified look worse
than the expression seen in death! This patient had a grotesque grimace
expressing sheer horror! His pupils were dilated, and he was perspiring and
trembling—he looked as if his hair was “on end.”</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Then still
another strange thing happened. He said, “Don't you understand? I am in hell...
Don't let me go back to hell!” The man was serious, and it finally occurred to
me that he was indeed in trouble. He was in a panic like I had never seen
before.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2578990775628187599#_ftn4" name="_ftnref" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference">[4]</span></a></span></span></span></div>

rather creating peace in us through the knowledge of His true nature? Vengeance
belongs to God, but what if He does not avenge us the way we expect Him to,
would that be okay? If God chose a people to proclaim Him as the only one God

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black;">Zoroaster
believed that a good spirit, Ahura Mazda (“Lord Wisdom”) guided the world. This
“Lord Wisdom” required “good thoughts of the mind, good deeds of the hand, and
good words of the tongue” from his followers, if they wished to enter paradise.
(The word ‘paradise’ which Jesus uttered on the cross is actually a Persian
word.) Years later, Zoroaster’s followers posited the existence of a second,
evil god called ‘Angra Mainyu’ (“Fiendish Spirit”). Men and women must choose
between these two gods, which represent good and evil. (Today approximately
10,000 Zoroastrians live in Iran; others, called Parsis, live in India.)<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2578990775628187599#_ftn6" name="_ftnref" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference">[6]</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black;">The
rapid expansion of Manichaeism provoked the hostility of the leaders of
orthodox Zoroastrianism, and when Bahram I (reigned 274-77) succeeded to the
throne, they persuaded him to have Mani arrested as a heretic, after which he
either died in confinement or was executed.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

proclaimed himself the last prophet in a succession that included Zoroaster, Buddha,
and Jesus, whose partial revelations were, he taught, contained and consummated
in his own doctrines. Besides Zoroastrianism and Christianity, Manichaeism
reflects the strong influence of Gnosticism.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2578990775628187599#_ftn7" name="_ftnref" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference">[7]</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Mani went further into pluralistic ideas narrowed down to just two realms
and two gods the very opposite of the actual monotheistic mission God called Israel

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span style="color: black;">The fundamental doctrine of
Manichaeism is its dualistic division
of the universe into contending realms of good and evil: the realm of light
(spirit), ruled by God, and the realm of Darkness (matter), ruled by Satan.
Originally, the two realms were entirely separate, but in a primal catastrophe
the realm of darkness invaded the realm of Light, and the two became mixed and
engaged in a perpetual struggle. The human race is a result and a microcosm of
this struggle. The human body is material, therefore evil; the human soul is
spiritual, a fragment of the divine light and must be redeemed from its
imprisonment in the body and the world. The path of redemption is through
knowledge of the realm of light imparted by the succession of divine messengers
that include Buddha and Jesus and ends in Mani. With this knowledge the human
soul can conquer the carnal desires that perpetuate its imprisonment and so
ascend to the divine realm.</span><span style="color: black;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Ever since then
proponents of dualism do not want to part with their beliefs because no
emphatically strong case against it was ever made. Perhaps, it would take great
fame and big name to break though this haze. But it is doubtful because hardly
anyone cares if God exists or not and, “If He does exist then where is He when
I need Him most?”—Would be the common reasoning. On the other hand it is much
more convenient to keep dualism intact. The need for a scapegoat stems from the
roots of blame and exoneration; wrongs and justification; inconvenience and the
need for comfort. The last one can be justified for it does include the element
of peace and we should pursue peace at all cost, but how we go about it can be
inconsiderate when it comes to the Creator; who in many ways has also been
pushed into obscurity by becoming just an abstract idea. </span></span></span></div>

if we are curious as to the existence of aliens and the UFO we logically assume
that since there were so many eyewitness accounts the aliens should by now be
able to communicate with us. Why do they remain silent? Let’s imagine that
finally someone gets a signal from some alien being out there in space, but
only he can get that signal through his own invention, which is not yet
available to anyone else. Would you believe that man? I would. I would have no
reason not to, but that does not mean that I must try to talk with aliens. Does
it? I believe his story and examine the facts he presents to me. If I don’t
believe him then I would not listen nor examine anything he tried to tell me? I
use the little faith, like reading a newspaper and believing what is written.
That’s all. That believing does not change my life. Let the man continue with
his inventions and read to me the received messages. In no time I will spot
something out of the ordinary and illogical or unintelligent. After all we
assume that those aliens are intelligent beings. We can logically crack almost
anything out there, provided you have the gift of logic divine. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Being saved is
a sure thing you do not need to believe in God out of fear of Hell for he does
not seek the fearful. His perfect love casts out all fear so being scared of
hell and tremblingly accepting Christ by mumbling few religious phrases will
never take away the fear of hell. Either you know who you are or you don’t.
Either you are the lost seed, the lost son or daughter now found or you are the
tare to be burned up and be no more. No suffering. No torment. Nonexistence. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">John the
Baptist spoke of the chaff to be burned up. Jesus spoke of the tares to be
burned up and be no more. From these expressions the theology of Hell was
created. Does God find pleasure in tormenting anyone on the other side? It all
comes down to a choice. I repeat. Choice! If you choose to remain scared of Hell,
which in your mind is the only thing keeping your from sinning or doing evil
than you are a pathetic case. In time you will become an emotional vegetable.
By staying on this theological rollercoaster you will make your head spin.
Either you learn God’s true nature and His loving disposition, His compassionate
character—the Truth—or you will keep on wandering in the maze of man’s ideas. </span></span></span></div>
