DIVIDED TRUTH
WHEREAS the WORD of LORD is dependent on the Purpose, Plan, Pleasure, Works, Ways, Intent, Time, Judgment, and Counsel of GOD, thus, the truth changes by these divisors • Isaiah 16:13 This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning Moab since that time. • Isaiah 16:14 But now the LORD hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and feeble. WHEREAS, on food these were prescribed to every generation, people, and tribe • Genesis 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. NOTE: The above law was for the people outside of Eden (for context purposes, read from verse 27-29 and know that the male and female here were commanded for the EARTH and not for the Garden-Adam & Eve) WHEREAS, the law for Adam in the Garden in order to dress and to keep it were another law • Genesis 2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. • Genesis 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: • Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. WHEREAS, in another time the law on food has changed which included every living thing • Genesis 9:3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. NOTE: There was no mention of unclean beast or unclean food WHEREAS, THE EATING OF BLOOD WAS ADDED AS A FORBIDDEN FOOD • Genesis 9:4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. NOTE: the eating of blood was added as a forbidden food WHEREAS, a law came prohibiting certain moving thing as food being declared unclean • Leviticus 7:21 Moreover the soul that shall touch any unclean thing, as the uncleanness of man, or any unclean beast, or any abominable unclean thing, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which pertain unto the LORD, even that soul shall be cut off from his people. • Leviticus 10:10 And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean; • Leviticus 11:4 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. • Leviticus 11:5 And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. WHEREAS, in the days of Jesus and the other sects laws on food and drinks were declared as for the Nazarites on vinegar and wine! WHEREAS, JESUS said that FOOD can never defile a man which enter into his mouth and into his belly and into the draught but the thing which comes out of his mouth which is from his heart_ in effect, the existing laws among the Jews concerning food was rescinded by Jesus • Matthew 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. • Matthew 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. • Matthew 15:10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: • Matthew 15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. NOTE: The KINGDOM OF GOD is not of MEATS & DRINKS. WHEREAS, the SPIRIT decreed that there is nothing unclean especially when God the Spirit declares it to be clean • Acts 10:14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. • Acts 10:15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. NOTE: Man is not the one declaring the Law but the Spirit and this Spirit dwells in the temple which is made holy and not made with hands. WHEREAS, the brother of JESUS named James, and his disciples John, and Peter proclaimed a law on food like those offered to idols, blood and the strangled animals • Acts 15:29 • Acts 11:8 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.Sabado, Setyembre 19, 2020
UNDERSTANDING THE LAWS IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE SPIRIT
Huwebes, Setyembre 3, 2020
UNDERSTANDING THE TRUE CHRISTIAN CHURCH
The true Christian Church was long gone after the Apostle Paul and his adherents and the eyewitnesses of Christ's ascension died. Believe me the disciples of Jesus were not even Christians but were of the gospel of the circumcision and Paul was of the Spirit who preached of Jesus the Spirit with his Gospel of Uncircumcision.
Early on, the church manifested a consensual schism between JOHN the baptist disciples and JESUS CHRIST's. There was also a schism that tended toward the diversification of the faith between the gospel of circumcision based in Jerusalem and the gospel of uncircumcision based on the Spirit by Paul.
One thing sure and common among the churches of God is that they teach the DOCTRINE which is of the Spirit (ministering the Word of God and ministering the Spirit) and not after the commandments of men which were established as a doctrine and dogma.
Though we know through the scriptures that JESUS was at one point speaking and asking the lawyers and the pharisees and Paul was contending for the faith the same church, however, quickened by God is not a church which ministers questions to its flocks! This same church creates a perfect and holy people for them to serve God in His kingdom which is not of this earth neither comes by observation nor is about meats and drinks.
If one were to be called a Christian he must be from Antioch, member of the sect of the Nazarene and either an eyewitness of Jesus Christ being filled with the Holy Ghost (the “tongues of fire” which sat on their heads on the day of pentecost at the upper room Jerusalem) as promised by Jesus Christ and 120 of them received it initially. Also, he must be a believer of the disciples and a servant serving Jesus Christ.
The TRUE Christian church died along with its witnesses. Today, if you are seeking for the TRUTH look for the people who come in communion with the Spirit and whose doctrine is not of men_ whose teaching is not monolithic or limited by the written scriptures (ink) for the scriptures serve only as a pattern to compare spiritual with spiritual. The TRUTH is not to be canonized by men.
If one were to observe the written laws verbatimly one will find it confusing which ones to follow because the laws have already evolved in time from Adam to Noah to Moses' and to Jesus. Therefore, if one were to observe the written laws apart from the Spirit it is inevitably clear that controversies will spring knowing that the Mosaic Law is neither wholly reflective of the Doctrines of JESUS, his disciples, nor of the apostle Paul.
Throughout all the ages the laws of God were and are decreed by his servants and prophets whom he sent, hence, they were all persecuted and executed accused of being blasphemers, spreading heresies, and as movers of sedition because their gospel about the kingdom, which is not of this world, is misinterpretted as a kingdom here on earth.
The Bible being written by different authors and witnesses from different places, and different time, and different people, and different purpose is already fraught with controversies and conflicting laws and statutes, hence, the many sects and denominations who cannot agree to a common or one law!
Three hundred years later, the supposed first century Christian church as ministered by saint Peter and saint Paul in Rome became intellectualized and factionalized by people who pitted themselves as the bearer of truth, to wit: Arius and Athanasius being the protagonists.
In short, this prompted Emperor Constantine to convene and preside over the Council of Nicaea giving birth to the Catholic Church which adopted the theology of Athanasius. Additionally, in Alexandria the teachings of Saint Mark evolved into coptic Christianism.
Clearly, the rise of many Christian denominations and the divide between these sects continue to widen as the scriptures were and are translated into many languages, intepretted in diverse manner, and speculated upon by malicious individuals who are also seeking their place in the Christendom nowadays, or else, claiming they are the very Christ themselves.
Matter of fact and early on, the holy bible already pointed out the many divisions within the first century Christian church. The truth remains that the people of God were and are always moved by the Spirit of God carrying the doctrine of godliness.
Today, one can hardly hear and know if there is a clear cut knowledge and understanding on what and how the spirit works. Consequently, most of these churches are not ready to accept the truth about the Spirit. They cannot even be qualified, approved, or made worthy by God for the pouring down of the Spirit because they cannot change their dogmas and doctrines should a new heaven and a new earth is created, so to speak. There is no good reason for God to pour the Spirit on them whose minds are fix teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
If God were to pour his Spirit to the Roman Catholics, the seat of which is in Rome, the Holy See will never budge to change its doctrine and dogmas. If God were to pour his spirit to the Seventh day Adventist or methodist they will likewise not change their doctrine. All of them, Christians, Islam, Buddhists, Mormons, Iglesia ni Kristo, Kingdom of Jesus Christ by Apollo Quiboloy, church of God by Eli Soriano and their ilk will never change their teachings because that was a thing passed on to them or else imagined by them. Clearly, they are not of the Spirit and are not walking in the Spirit.
Simply put, there is no longer a CHRISTIAN CHURCH today even as there is no TRUE church, true religion or a kingdom of the spirit. This phenomenon is not new to the people of God as there was a long season of old when Israel had no true God, no teaching priest, and without a law (2 Chronicles 15:3).
The division caused by the carnal men in the whole of Christendom since the days of the apostles, which continue to metastasize into the supposed KINGDOM OF GOD, is bringing in more harm than good to the the hurt of the work of the ministry, the edifying of the church and the perfecting of the saints. Characterized by divisions, there is no doubt that the present day professing Christian churches are carnal.
Seek the kingdom of God which is the Spirit of God and His righteousness! Remember that in the last days God will pour out His Spirit and not the words especially the words written! Then we shall be the epistle of Christ read of all men written with the spirit and not with the ink.

UNDERSTANDING THE PEOPLE WHO ENGAGE IN DEBATES
Debates like the existence of God between protagonists who both have no answer is foolish and the more insane will it be if the two protagonists will debate when neither of them has the answer! Did not everyone ever thought that engaging in a debate is useless and futile? But people love it so. People love to engage in vanity.
I can only conclude that man is not the authority on both the physical and spiritual world which he continues to search for an answer. I can only say that the problem with this world is that even the believers and proponents that God exist, on that side of the debate, is they cannot accept that God the Creator of heaven and earth is also a man who has the Spirit manifested in the flesh!
UNDERSTANDING THE WAY TO KNOWING GOD
The subject on whether there is only one God or many Gods is a hot issue among theists (monotheism or polytheism). This will mean that there are many ways to know God or there is only one way as Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life_ no one comes to the Father but by me."
Obviously, no one human being can claim perfect knowledge on God except those things which are known already or revealed to man, that is, by the scriptures.
29Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
Now, the revelation made by God from one nation to another people and another time is in part and to make matters worse there are claims made by some emotional beings spotted by figments of their imaginations who say that they know God and are servants of God. Simply put, all of mankind only know in part, hence, knowledge is compartmented by the purpose, will, intent, time, judgment, and counsel of God.
1 Corinthians 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
1 Corinthians 13:10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
Finding fault in the old covenant by laws and prophecies: not because it was faulty but because man is; God created and established a new covenant by new things.
Now, by virtue of the OLD COVENANTS OF GOD unto a particular people and unto a particular place the default is established regarding the way towards knowing God. So Moses was the way in his time and some people embraced that way until today. The prophet Jeremiah was also the way to God for Israel and Judah in his time and Jesus was also the way in his time and that was another way. Thus God said, that He will judge people in the place where they are created and in the land where they are born. Significantly, all human beings are to put in mind that God is a just God and, thus, will judge all by their laws and by their faith. There is no one way towards knowing God or salvation.
Conversely, to say that God dwells in each and everyone of us being the temple of God will mean that there are many vessels and, therefore, many ways.
Now, to say that the mind of man is not the mind of God is a two-edged sword either because God has secrets and mysteries unknown to man or what we want, desire, and know is the opposite of God's pleasure, hence, our mind is not His mind.
Taking on the latter nuance it will mean that there is only one way to knowing God and how will this happen? I would say that God is a Spirit and that he dwells in each and everyone of us being His temple.
Now, everyone that has the Spirit of God does the will of God and not the will of own. Along this view, it can be said that by man's mind he sees that there are many ways and paths to Salvation or knowing God but looking things at the perspective of the Spirit all things are under the singular purpose, will, intent, time, judgment, and counsel of God, hence, there is only one way.
This is actually the trouble that keeps every religion, creed, belief, kingdoms, and churches on the material and physical world divided. Truly, the mind and ways of God are not our minds and ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts.
The divide, therefore, between men in the perspectives is their area of domain, dimension, state and condition where they are born and where they are created. Moreover, the gap is widened from each divide by the lust and pride of them who seek to have preeminence and fame and power among men.
However, the scriptures is not wanting in the spirit of counsel telling and warning everyone that there are false prophets who will come to seduce and deceive many even by the name of Jesus, by teaching the gospel of peace and the gospel of the cross which is another gospel, and by misleading people with another spirit.
Now, the minds of people are either deceived, seduced, polluted, or corrupted by an extracorporeal force which they never come to know being ignorant. This fact will tell that not all ways lead to God for a man to know God. There are perverse ways which is clearly not a path or way of God.
There maybe many ways in the material perspective but it is never that many in the spiritual perspective for there is only one God and one Spirit who teaches us of his ways and truth.

UNDERSTANDING THE DECEPTION IN THE NAME, SEDUCTION BY THE GOSPEL & MISLEADING BY THE SPIRIT

27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
28 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.
29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
30 Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

UNDERSTANDING THE DEBATES ABOUT GOD AND THE DEBATERS
Linggo, Hulyo 26, 2020
UNDERSTANDING THE INTERPRETATION OF THE HOLY BIBLE
Moreso, interpretation has become the crux of all matters of disagreements on the existence of God among all believers putting into the fore the question on, Who is God? Additionally, the perception on God as almighty strengthened the stand of the atheists that they will only believe that God is true unless they see an amputee grow its lost part by the power of God. Also, the thoughts of a God who is omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent has become the very measure of a God that they imagine of. Can anyone really measure God by human knowledge, much less, human imagination?
Definitely, the reading the Bible needs a process to be able to attain unto knowledge like evaluating the words written which is inspired of God, analyzing the words and deeds of the men of God and God himself in mind, manner, works and ways, and interpreting it by Spirit.
Interpreting the Bible in chunks, in context, by chapters and by verse using exegesis, eisegesis, metagesis, and hermeneutics alone makes the way of interpreting the Bible devilish because this will unwittingly push people into interpreting the scriptures in a truncated knowledge or in part. Thus, the knowledge is in part and not a perfect one. Some do not even know which law and doctrine to adopt whether of Moses, or Jesus, or the apostles (James, John and Peter), or Paul. Precisely, this is the reason why denominations multiply.
The knowledge is divided into pieces and no one is able to integrate it with the Spirit of understanding and with the sound mind emphasizing the importance and relevance of the Spirit in the interpretation. So, also comes the importance of the prophet or the man of God with the Spirit of God in the interpretation of the things of God.
The reason why conflicts occur in the laws or words is because God is a Spirit and the Spirit itself is the law. The Spirit is the creator when sent into the world or when sent to a man. The laws are just the constructs of the Spirit and the same Spirit can change or destroy that law. The Spirit declares the things that are right in their right context and purpose and time. Let it be known, therefore, that the law is not the Spirit.
The Holy Bible is written by men, hence, the errors and inaccuracies of the figures and names. The narration of the stories written in the books reveal the pressure and threats to people like Stephen who was stoned to death, hence, the erroneous account on his actual statement or witness which was faithfully transcribed by the author.
Now, there is no other legitimate way of interpreting the word of God or another authority of the Law but the Spirit and by the Spirit. The Spirit reveals and declares things and not interpret. In the strict sense, it is even inappropriate to talk of interpretation when talking about the present because God is a God of the living and not of the dead. His laws are expressed in a voice and not in written words.
Going back farther into history, Moses never used a bible to declare his laws but by the Spirit even as Jesus did not use the scrolls to fulfill his ministry and testimony. Everything was revealed and commanded by the Spirit paved and prepared by a man like John the baptist for Jesus.
This is the reason why the scriptures are being consulted to a man with the holy Spirit of God for interpretation and application because the scriptures must coincide and synchronize with the present narrative of God like Moses' in his time and Jesus' in his time. Know the differences of their stories_ Moses was to kill nations and Jesus was to be killed as the propitiation of the sins of the lost sheep of the house of Israel, so to speak.
