Theological conundrum? No one but the Father knows the Day of the end of the Age of Grace? Why not the Son or the Spirit? Are they not all coequal in deific attributes?

The Father is the Administrator of the Trinity and the Creation narrative and its reason for being; therefore, the Son and the Spirit honor the Father’s authority concerning that Day, why?

That Day, the end of the age of grace, remains fluid as free will remains essential in this temporary Realm of Time as it has always been essential and integral in the Spiritual Realm.

The Father desires that “all men be saved and come to a knowledge of the Truth” (1 Timothy 2:4) and the Father has a predetermined number of men and women who will come to faith in the Son, not a predestination of individuals or choice, but a free will inspired number of men and women who will come to faith in the Gospel and when that particular number is fulfilled, the end of this age of grace will have been fulfilled…the Father is patiently awaiting for that number of redeemed to enter into New Covenant relationship with Him via faith in the Son; this specific number can be theorized to equate to the number of angelic creatures who followed Satan in the great Rebellion; this, as we know our creation abhors a vacuum and there is a consistent striving for a vacuum/void to return to a state of stasis; therefore, when the number of fallen angelic beings has been replenished by the redeemed in Jesus, the end of this age of grace will reach a conclusion and a unique dispensation of works and grace will manifest in the Millennial Kingdom; an era of personal and corporate sacrifice and adoration given the resurrected Son who will receive the Kingdom denied Him at His first Advent; this, as the Evil One is placed in custody and denied access to Human Kind for 1000-years.

Finally, concerning the signs of the end of the age of grace prefacing the Millennial Kingdom?

Elohim has repeatedly told His faithful that if one desires to know where He is positoned concerning eschatology, always watch His people, the children of Jacob, in the Land that He has granted them through Abraham, the Land of Israel.

It is relevant for the faithful to understand that before that Day will manifest, there will be nuclear proliferation in the Middle East via the efforts of Islam and Islam’s allies; namely, Russian and China.

There will be an exponential increase in anti-Semitism, with an emphasis of Jewish/Israeli hatred in the West; ultimately, Israel will be perceived as the genesis and causation of the World’s woes and problems. The West will have been made impotent militarily, ethically and monetarily due compromise with Satan’s Marxist perversions.

Representatives of the Axis of Evil, Islam-Russia-China, will stage outside of the City of Jerusalem and a limited nuclear event will manifest; that nuclear event pictured in Jesus’ Revelation to John; this will trigger Messiah’s return to Mount Olivette.
It is at that Time that the Nations who have warred against Israel will be destroyed. The entirety of Israel’s children will see their Messiah and believe. Our Messiah will enter through the currently walled-off Eastern Gate and initiate His Millennial Reign from the City of Jerusalem. MARANATHA!

Satan bound for 1000-years. Why?

Satan bound for 1000-years prefacing the Millennial Kingdom of Elohim the Son?

Satan’s incarceration during the Millennial Kingdom is relevant for a number of reasons but primarily to demonstrate to the faithful angelic creation, those who did not follow Satan in the Great Rebellion, that this fallen anointed cherub is obviously the causation for the previous 6000-years of unconscionable suffering within the Realm of Time.

The stark comparison/contrast between 6000-years of horror v. 1000 years of blissful peace will be undeniable. The final rebellion of Satan subsequent his release at the culmination of the Millennium will leave no doubt as to the culprit who has spawned such anarchy in the Kingdom and in human history.

Elohim will be glorified for His strategic battle strategy, the Gospel, by which Elohim, Himself, defeated Satan at Golgotha via selfless love demonstrated by Elohim the Son.

Also, the faithful angelic creation will fully understand and concur with Elohim the Father as Satan is adjudicated guilty for atrocities against Elohim, the Kingdom, humanity, and ultimately interned in Hell for Eternity (Revelation 20:10). Elohim will be seen as a Just and Righteous Judge.

Lastly (for the sake of time), the necessity for free will remains relevant in the New Jerusalem, the eternal Kingdom of Elohim the Son, our resurrected Messiah. The 7000-year history of rebellious, unconscionably destructive, fallen angels, the ramification of disobedience prefacing The Flood, will act as a powerful bulwark against rebellion in the New Jerusalem and a repeat of Elohim’s striving to restore holiness and order to a Kingdom ravaged by war prefaced by sin/disobedience. Peace through obedience to Elohim’s will reigns paramount, eternally for both resurrected Saints and the faithful angelic creation serving Elohim.

The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

Catholicism: a religious works cult?

Uncategorized

Catholicism has NEVER been Christianity and Peter was NEVER a Pope. Emperor Constantine via the Edict of Milan (312-313AD) sought greater control over the burgeoning Roman Empire and sought to make Christianity more attractive or palatable to the masses; therefore, Constantine merged Babylonian/Roman paganism with non-inspired Apocryphal writings mingled with Christian doctrine to form the World’s 2nd largest religious works cult AKA Catholicism, 2nd only to Islam in numbers and in deception. Catholicism blasphemes the Gospel message based in grace through faith in Jesus, alone.

Did Jesus claim to be Deity?

Religion - Christianity, , , , , , ,

Response to one who denies Jesus’ Deity,

Your spiritual misunderstanding is mind boggling considering that your rejection of Jesus as God, Deity, proclaims your status as unredeemed, remaining in your sin (John 8:24).

I don’t suggest that understanding the necessity for Messiah’s deity is an element of salvation but I will profess that once one is redeemed by faith in Jesus and has received the indwelling Holy Spirit as Guarantor and the Seal of New Covenant promise (Ephesians 1:13-14), they will KNOW and they will openly confess that Jesus is God/Elohim who is Creator, Warrior, Messiah and Judge; this, because the Spirit of Truth (John 16:13-15) testifies of Jesus’ Deity and the necessity for same.

“Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am “He,” you will die in your sins.” John 8:24 (NASB)

In John 8:24, the word “he” is added by translators. While English Bibles (like the NIV or KJV) use “I am he,” the original Greek simply says “I am” (egō eimi). This directly mirrors the divine name used in the Old Testament (Exodus 3:14), with Jesus claiming equality with God.

Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.” John 8:58 (NASB)

Again: the original Greek says “I am” (egō eimi). This directly mirrors the divine name used in the Old Testament (Exodus 3:14), with Jesus claiming equality with God.

The Jewish audience and their religious leadership clearly understood Jesus’ proclamation of Deity and sought to murder Jesus by stoning; ultimately, charging Jesus with “blasphemy” and handing Him over to Pilate, Herod, for execution.

Your initial error is failing to understand the context upon which Hebrews 1, John 1, Colossians 1, are based; that is, Jesus in His hypostatic union as fully man and fully Elohim. Jesus has enjoyed coequal glory and omnipotence and omnipresence with the Father and the Spirit from Eternity past; this, before the World was created (John 17:5). When the Father speaks of the Son as the “firstborn” and “begotten” and having been “appointed” and “sit at my right hand”…the Father is speaking of the unique position of the eternal God-Man, Jesus our Messiah, unique to all of Eternity and Jesus will continue in this unique positioning as the “firstfruits” of those resurrected from the dead with a glorified body…the same type of body the saints in Jesus will receive at the resurrection of the righteous.

The Father is speaking in terms of a resurrected Messiah who had previously set aside many of His deific attributes in order to take on flesh, subject Himself to the constraints of Time and physics and rely solely upon the Holy Spirit for power and miracles and conquering Satan at Golgotha (Luke 4:1; 1 John 3:8). It is this same Jesus that the Father is glorifying for OUR benefit demonstrating the power of obedience and honor and dignity displayed by the Son who will reign King forevermore. King in the Millennial Kingdom and the Eternal Kingdom, the New Jerusalem.

You assume that the Father’s delineation of authority somehow suggests Jesus is a lesser being than the Father but this is not true or accurate. Jesus has never been a lesser Deity than the Father as Jesus is the same yesterday, today, forever (Hebrews 13:8).
I’m not sure what cult or sect you’ve involved yourself in, perhaps the cult of the Jehovah’s Witness, but you are far from the Kingdom. You might have a nice little religion but you and yours don’t know Jesus.

Would a Just and Loving God send anyone to Hell?

Would a Just and Righteous God really reject anyone from the Kingdom of Heaven?

“Nothing impure will ever enter the Kingdom of God” (Rev 21:27); therefore, it is the arrogance of man that questions the justice of our righteous Creator who extricated His most beautiful creatures, the angelic, for disobedience while assuming our Creator will overlook the same transgressions of mankind.

Mankind has but ONE alternative to divine Judgment and the second death in Hell; that is, faith-belief-trust in Jesus our Messiah as one’s Savior who took upon Himself our transgressions, our sin, and paid the penalty for sin, death, as Jesus shed His innocent blood as atonement, payment, for the curse of sin and death.

18 knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, 19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.

What is “Substitutionary Atonement?”

Religion - Christianity, , , ,

What is “Substitutionary Atonement” provided by Jesus our Messiah?

Substitutionary Atonement is first pictured for human kind in Genesis 3:21 subsequent Adam’s compromise with evil, disobedience, at the behest of his wife, Eve.

Elohim, Himself, shed innocent blood and clothed Adam and his wife, Eve, the representatives of human kind, in an imputed, gifted, robe of righteousness in order to cover their sin and shame while Elohim simultaneously rejected Adam’s vain attempt at self-righteousness, works, to cover his own shame via the application of fig leaves. This is the first picture of the Gospel of Grace in Scripture.

Genesis 3:15 prophesies that One would come from the seed of the woman, not the seed of the man which carries and passes the Adamic sin-nature (Romans 5:12), and this anointed One would enter into conflict with Satan and defeat Satan. Genesis 3:21, as noted above, was to be the “battle strategy” by which the Anointed One, born of the seed of the woman, would defeat the works of Satan; that is, shedding innocent blood and thereby providing blood atonement for the covering of sin for all who would believe that Messiah had accomplished this divine imperative.

The Mosaic Law of blood sacrifices (Leviticus 17:11) modeled this prophecy where a spotless lamb would be slain for the sins of Israel’s children in recognition of the “Passover” where the blood of a lamb was painted on the door posts and lintel signaling to the “death angel” to “pass over” that home and spare the first born child which essentially freed the Hebrew slaves in Egypt.

These prophecies all came to fruition 4000-years subsequent Genesis 3:21 outside the Gates of Jerusalem in a place called “Golgotha” or “the place of the skull.” It was here that Jesus, “the spotless Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the World” (John 1:29) offered Himself as a substitutionary “blood atonement” for the sin of mankind (Matthew 26:27-28).

The focus of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is that anyone who believes that Jesus is the Messiah who died, who shed His innocent blood, for the atonement of their sin, the forgiveness of their sin, the one so believing receives eternal life (John 3:16)

We know that “nothing impure is permitted to enter the Kingdom of God” (Revelation 21:27) and we are commanded to be perfect as the Father in Heaven is perfect (Matthew 5:48). We also know that no one can be perfected by vain attempts to keep the Laws or traditions or days or diets of the Old Covenant because one violation of the Law makes the transgressor guilty of violating all Law (James 2:10); therefore, how does one born of Adam’s sin-nature (Romans 5:12) find “perfection” and acceptance by God/Elohim the Father?

Answer: Substitutionary Atonement

The Holy Spirit explains how one attains perfection in the Father’s eyes in Paul’s letter to the Church at Corinth (2 Corinthians 5:21). When one believes that Jesus is Messiah who died for them, the Father imputes, gifts, the righteousness and perfection of Jesus over their life, eternally, and the Father agrees by New Covenant promise (Hebrews 8:12) to remember their sins no more; in other words, the Father promises to not see the sins of those who have trusted in Jesus as Messiah, the Spotless Lamb without sin, but the Father only sees the Son’s perfection over them and the Father declares them “not guilty” and welcomes them into the Family of Elohim while Sealing and Guaranteeing this divine promise through the gifting of the indwelling Holy Spirit, forever (Ephesians 1:13-14).

Christians, believers in Jesus as Messiah, are gifted the righteousness of Jesus over their life by Covenant promise thereby making the believer positionally “perfect” in the Father’s eyes, not by works, or efforts, strivings, of the Christian but as a Gift of Grace through Faith in the divine, spotless Lamb of God, Jesus Christ our Messiah (1 Peter 1:18-19).

Innocent substitute. Replaced fig leave of human righteousness.

What governs your mind and how it functions?

Uncategorized, , , , , ,

Atheist asked: “What governs your mind and how it functions?”

1) If you’re a natural man (1 Corinthians 2:14) living by the Adamic sin-nature (Romans 5:12), your conscience is the arbiter of the eternal, spiritual, law written upon your heart at conception (Romans 2:14-15). This is the path to deception and self-destruction via unmitigated diminishing returns (Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 1:18-32).

2) If you’re a spiritual man living by the anointing and instruction of the indwelling Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16), the Spirit is the Arbiter of your conscience and He is your Law and Authority in daily Christian sanctification (Ephesians 1:13-14). When one walks by the Spirit and not the flesh, they are methodically taught to produce divine fruit (Galatians 5:16-23) that fulfills all moral law and honors God the Father while proving one to be a faithful disciple of Jesus (John 15:8).

Does God hear the prayers of an Atheist?

Does God hear the prayers of Atheists?

If you have denied the love of Jesus and turned your back on His death for your redemption, you do NOT belong to the Father (1 John 2:23), you are NOT family and the ONLY prayer of a belligerent sinner that enter the Father’s presence for consideration is a prayer of repentance and faith in Jesus as your Messiah; otherwise, until divine relationship is established with the Father by faith in Jesus and the Holy Spirit takes up residence within you as the Seal and Guarantor of New Covenant promise (Ephesians 1:13-14), your prayers are impotent as you belong to Satan and you serve Satan with your heart, mind, soul, you are an obstinate enemy of the Gospel and the will of Elohim concerning His war with the demonic (John 8:44). It is the one who does God’s will that He hears and responds too (John 6:29).

James 5:16 The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Proverbs 1:28 Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me. 29 Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of the LORD,

Why does God want to the worshiped?

Uncategorized

Why does our Creator desire constant worship? Why is our Creator concerned about our choices in this life?

It’s not that our Creator desires constant worship but that the human mind which is stayed on Him is sustainable through the storms of life and ultimately finds victory in death. Human Kind was created to worship…mankind will worship something…either himself or another person or a thing or a possession…humanity will always worship as worship is integral to the spirit of man; therefore, focusing on the worship of the One who created us ensures a life of peace and joy and understanding…worshiping anything else ensures self-destruction and hopelessness via diminishing returns. The only Entity that will pacify the longings of the soul of man is Jesus and the presence of the indwelling Holy Spirit who is our Comforter and our Peace and our Truth (John 14:6; John 14:16-21). There is victory in Jesus over the trials of this life and our concerns about life in Eternity.

Who created God, Elohim (Genesis 1:1)

Who created God, Elohim (Genesis 1:1)?

One “flaw” in the human existence, as we’re temporarily constrained by Time and physics via the flesh, is an error that suggests only that which is apprehended by the human sensory system is real or “exists.” Few minds venture beyond this error to consider the possibility of a Realm that exists outside the finite Realm of Time, a Realm that is infinitely superior to the Realm of Time, one that has no genesis and no conclusion, a Realm inhabited by creatures not constrained by atoms or atrophy or physics or Time.

Jesus, our Creator (John 1; Hebrews 1; Colossians 1), tells you that His Kingdom is NOT of this Realm and the Holy Spirit tells us that the atom, the constituent elements of matter, find their genesis in a Realm that is “not seen” with the human eye. Personally, I believe Jesus and I believe the Holy Spirit. Fact is, our Creator has no genesis nor will He experience atrophy or a conclusion to His eternal existence as Elohim.
