UNDERSTANDING THE LAWS IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE SPIRIT

 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.

WHEREAS, having this knowledge on food which law are you now following? Why the law on blood for the Iglesia Ni Kristo and the other laws observed by the other sects? WHEREAS, this is the word which says, ye do err not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God. WHEREAS, who is now walking and living in the Spirit? WHEREAS, who is now under the law and is not free? Surely, all of the churches today are not FREE or are not in the Spirit for they are teaching of dogmas and traditions of men for doctrine which makes the Spirit of no effect. Meaning, to pour Spirit on them will be useless because they will push through with their own agenda. Revelations and prophecies by the Spirit will not by accepted but that which is only written. The problem is the things written in the scriptures are already diverse and is fraught with many controversies and contradictions, hence, the many denomination because of the many interpretations by their own heart and spirit and not of God!

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.
