THE DOCTRINE OF THE TRUE CHURCH

 

    The doctrine of the true church is the Spirit and the creation it actively conduct in the fluxus quo environment. One may argue and  claim that the doctrine in the truth is about righteousness, holiness, perfection, and godliness and I do not have quarrel with that. Holistically, however, all those ideas form part of the gospel and the narrative of God about His creation and pleasure in a particular time. 

    GOD is a Spirit the creator of all things. His laws are established to maintain balance & establish the physical and spiritual world to make people live and walk in the flesh and in the spirit.  His WILL to all men is to give His Spirit that all may be called the children of God in his kingdom.  

    Creation takes place when God sends forth his spirits and each spirit have laws that operate and function in all aspects of the material and the spiritual world.

    It means, that there are extant laws which are not affected by outside forces and we have no control. These laws operate even if these are rejected or is unknown to anyone. To reject it will not help for there is neither philosophy nor ideal nor thought nor ways that can deny its works and manifestations.   

    It means the laws which are in the Spirit permeate the physical and the spiritual world. To this stands the saying, taking vengeance on them that know not God and that obey not the gospel.

2 Thessalonians 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

        The reason why this world is plummeting into its own demise is because the very link between the physical & the spiritual world which is man is corrupted and is departing from its determined orbit to GOD which is his will.

        The only way to retain stability in the material and spiritual world  along the will of God is to continually create man in the image of God by his gospel and for a man to subject himself to God where everything is in a flux for God is a spirit. 

        However, being in the flux does not mean that the laws that both founded the past and present spiritual & the physical world is broken and is of no use.  The fact remains that the laws continue to work and function no matter how people change or create another world or reality in the continuum of human experience. 

        The reason why the people are not able to see afar off or have a 20-20 vision of the universe is because they are blinded by the world's lust and pleasures where the laws are passed onto oblivion and man is set to accept curse and suffering as an a priori.

        The doctrine of the Spirit is the sole truth divided by the purpose, will, intent, time, judgment, and counsel of God.  The world seeks for a universal truth which is ONE but that singular truth alone is GOD. Therefore, when the transcendent God comes down to dwell among his people_ the people he created to be holy and peculiar it is that he will declare the things that are right. God is subjective in the application and execution of his doctrine but is objective in the attainment of the goals of his plan.  

        Therefore, by the Spirit and power of God all laws and things can be changed, renewed, regenerated, or refreshed.  This what the world continually fail to recognize and acknowledge through ages and eons of experience_ the power of God. This is the reason why they rejected JESUS and all the prophets sent by God of old and even in the present setup.  People think that the laws are the ones written or in letters which were just added because of transgressions. Some people think that the laws of God are etched on a stone and are inviolable as it is written, hence, they ended up crucifying Jesus Christ.   

        The mindset of people, since time immemorial, has never changed when it comes to perceiving God and his laws.  They are all locked up to a doctrine which they teach as a commandment after the traditions of men.  These words are not alien words but are from the written words inspired by God but not according to the spirit. The gospel they preach is not another gospel but not according to knowledge. To make matters worse and disorderly confusing all things done are not by the spirit and power of God.  Yea, the servants of God are the ministers of the Spirit and the spirits they do minister.

        The world forget that God is a God of the living and not of the dead. It means that in Spirit God has never stopped creating new things like new heavens and new earth, yea, even new laws to make up a holy nation and a peculiar people in his time.

        Whatsoever doctrine, therefore, that forbids the demonstration of spirit and the power of God is reprobate, hence, to pour out the spirit to them, as promised, is useless because they will always forge a way which is right in their own sight and reject knowledge in the spirit.

        Truly, by their fruits and doctrine we shall know them because by fruits it should be the fruit of the spirit that dwell in them and by the doctrine it must also be in the spirit which voice is the gospel of God with the power.  The doctrine is the Spirit which is trancendent in the spiritual world and is immanent in the material world. The doctrine is about the Spirit which continue to create and effectually maintains the balance of the material and the spiritual world.

THE LAST DAYS

The last days is the commonly misunderstood & misconstrued language of the Spirit to man.  The language barrier between man and God has prevailed over the ages, hence, the need for a prophet or a seer or a messenger sent by God to really give the right interpretation on what is written and what is revealed.

 

           Despite the way of sending his servants to warn and make people understand his messages people really needed the voice of God whose language needed to be experienced for purposes of getting the right translation.   

 

·       Jeremiah 44:4 Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate.

·       Jeremiah 26:5 To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early, and sending them, but ye have not hearkened;

 

         Many times the disciples of Jesus would ask the interpretation of his parables and the revelations he would declare from time to time.  Yea, even his specific instructions were often times put to uncertainty like the case of feeding more than five thousand people with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes!

 

        Matter of fact,  the post-JESUS 12 disciples failed to acknowledge and know PAUL  who has the Spirit and is walking in the Spirit, hence, the division of the church into a gospel of circumcision and the gospel of uncircumcision. It was a little later when JAMES, JOHN, and PETER accepted PAUL, saying, his epistles are hard to be understood:

 

2 Peter 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable west, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

 

Simply put, the language of the Spirit is not the language of man just as his thoughts are not the thoughts of man and his ways are not the ways of man.

 

It is thus manifest in these present times how many sects and denominations would spring out of the written word of God as many would claim to have their perfect understanding of the scriptures. 

 

Verily, every subsequent religion or church or sect who claim to be a legitimate Church of Christ which came about only after three hundred years of intellectualization, litigation, legislation or else imagination is neither reflective of the sect of the Nazarene as described in the new testament nor have the vestiges of that true Christian church which is in Antioch.

 

Therefore, before veering away from the main subject of this essay which is understanding the LAST DAYS there is really no teacher who has the Spirit of God in him and the law to regulate the interpretation of the laws and prophecies, and worse, trust the decreed law and word of God by the man sent by God.

 

As everyone would suspect a doctrine or teaching coming from anyone, nowadays, it is thus very difficult to convince people about the TRUTH even though a man would have the spirit of God in him or is sent by God.

 

The dearth of people with Spirit makes matters worse as seeking God would be impossible in this state and condition. It is impossible to try and know every spirits whether they are of God. Thus, it is likely that the whole of the Christendom is running on a "stand-alone" system of belief or in an “offline mode” while seeking God when the system of God works “online”.  

 

On the contrary, the scriptures is the stand-alone version of the Spirit which allows a man to work and perform analysis, evaluation, validation and comparison of the works, ways, mind, and manner of God aiding  man into coming to the truth and to the faith, so to speak. Thus, it behooves to say the scriptures is our schoolmaster to bring us to faith as it is written.

 

By metaphor, to work on the scriptures by its letters presumptuously as if it were the whole system itself working online on a website, necessarily with the other desktops in the network, will mean a disaster and incapacitate the workman to see the present-macro view of the real time information that is running online or shall we say understand the spiritual things by the Spirit in the present time.

 Thus, to stay focus on the meat of this essay the last days means that it is to be indicated by perilous times:

 

HENCE,

 

2 Timothy 3:1-7 — This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 Timothy 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

2 Timothy 3:3  Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

2 Timothy 3:4  Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

2 Timothy 3:5  Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

2 Timothy 3:6  For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

2 Timothy 3:7  EVER LEARNING, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

2 Peter 3:3 — Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

2 Peter 3:4  And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

 

        Clearly, knowledge will increase in the last days but truly these are all vanities leading men only to captivity as there is no truth and light in it!

 

Isaiah 8:20  To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no LIGHT in them.

 

        People will be loving wisdom, seeking wisdom, and attracted to wisdom a feat which is no different from that of Eve in the garden of Eden thinking and imagining that wisdom is to be desired. 

 

Genesis 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.  

 

The last days are also indicated by judgment as executed by his ministers ministering the Spirit.

 

 Isaiah 2:2  And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

Isaiah 2:3  And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth THE LAW, and THE WORD OF THE LORD from Jerusalem.

Isaiah 2:4  And HE SHALL JUDGE among the nations, and shall REBUKE many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

           

Now, if people will continue to think that these present days of ours  are not really the last days despite the knowledge presented here_ many will be caught unaware having not the spirit of knowledge and of  fear of the Lord.

 

Isaiah 11:2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;

           

Beware lest any man deceive you by speaking not according to this revelation _ that God is a Spirit and the same will dwell in men who are his temple. Everyday on this earth is the last day as you measure it by the written word of God! Amen.

 

Isaiah 8:9 Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.

Isaiah 8:10 Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.
