It is the Spiritual Realm interacting with the Physical Realm…these things will increase in frequency as that Day approaches. Jesus’ Kingdom is NOT of the Realm of the Physical/Time/Space/Matter…what our scientists are amazed by have existed before the World was created.
Also, in Hebrews 11:3, the Holy Spirit teaches that matter, Time, space, the Physical reality of our Universe, was “made” out of that which is NOT visible; in other words, what we see and interact with finds its origin in a Realm that is not visible to those encapsulated within a body of matter, flesh, allowing same to interact physically and intimately with the Physical Realm.
“By faith we understand that the world has been created by the word of God so that what is seen has not been made out of things that are visible.” Hebrews 11:3 (NASB)
The Sinai Commandments (9 of the 10 Decalogue) are mere fragments of the spiritual law written upon the heart of human kind on Day-6; Commandment #4 is a civil edict given the children of Israel, exclusively. These nine moral laws were given Israel’s children by Elohim via Moses as guiding directives concerning their relationship with Elohim and their interpersonal relationships between the Tribes as they were embarking on a journey to the Promised Land that would entail encountering pagan tribes, pagan gods i.e., Baal, Molech, the deception of the demonic.
Sinai and Moses’ civil/ceremonial edicts were given to a specific group of chosen people, Jacob’s children, as these edicts were bulwarks against compromise with paganism, a compromise that would have thwarted Elohim’s objective of bringing forth His Messiah through Judah as prophesied.
Gentiles have never been obligated to observe a Sabbath regulation nor is there one example of a Gentile honoring a Sabbath; this, from Adam forward lest same was seeking inclusion in Israel’s theocracy subsequent Exodus 16 when Elohim commanded Sabbath observance via Moses, a directive given Jacob’s children, exclusively.
It is also interesting to note that Elohim was required to provide Moses exacting details as to how the Sabbath would be honored, why? Elohim provided Moses extensive details as to the Sabbath’s prohibitions due the truism that NO PRIOR PRECEDENT CONCERNING A SABBATH OBSERVANCE EXISTED.
Theological question: “Where do Christians get the idea that they no longer have to obey the law?” Romans 6:14
Christian response,
Has nothing to do with “NOT” keeping laws but that keeping letters, laws, days, diets, traditions, feasts, such as those legislated, mandated, in Torah no longer apply to those in the New Covenant as obedience, moral-judgment, pleasing the Father through obedience (John 15:8), changed; this, for a more efficient and exacting Way to pursue obedience that actually pleases the Father.
A New and NOVEL WAY to obedience,
Those redeemed by faith in Jesus in the New Covenant, uniquely possessing the indwelling Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14), are anointed by the Spirit to produce divine fruit (Galatians 5:16-23) and it is this fruit that replaces chasing letters and mandates, CODIFIED LAWS that are subjective and argued over concerning their meaning, their application, the definition of their particular legal elements; CODIFIED LAWS that are easily rationalized away by the sin-nature of the human conscience; this is confusion, this is fertile ground for obfuscation whereas the Spirit eradicates the confusion of letters and true obedience in the New Covenant is defined by the pursuit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, and it is these attributes/divine fruit of the Spirit that fulfills all law; both codified and spiritual; this, void the legalese and subjectivity of letters.
It’s NOT that the Christian is disobeying Torah or rejecting Torah but that the New Covenant, due the presence of the indwelling Holy Spirit residing within the redeemed in Jesus (Jeremiah 31:33; Jeremiah 32:39–40; Ezekiel 11:19; Ezekiel 36:26–27) provides a better Way to please the Father, a better Way to walk in obedience to the Father’s will for our individual and corporate lives.
New American Standard Bible
“And I will put My Spirit within you and bring it about that you walk in My statutes, and are careful and follow My ordinances.” Ezekiel 36:27
Galatians 5:16-18
“So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. / For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, so that you do not do what you want. / But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.”
PRIDE/LGBTQAI++ is a demonically rooted Marxist movement seeking to undermine the Biblical family unit in America and undermine moral and ethical values essential to the sustainability of America’s Constitutional Republic. Those who have fallen prey to Satan’s deception in PRIDE require prayer, intercession. This is a public shame and embarrassment in any society seeking sustainable mores, norms, values. PRIDE is a direct attack on youth who have been deceived and made mentally ill through TRANS mutilation. Shame on Houston’s Mayor, City Council, Police Department, for allowing this mental and spiritual illness to be “paraded” through the streets of Houston, Texas.
In the New Covenant, the redeemed in Jesus possess the indwelling Holy Spirit as Guarantor and Seal of Covenant relationship with the Father (Ephesians 1:13-14) and the Christian is not under letters, days, diets, traditions, (Romans 6:14) but the Christian walks in daily sanctification via the Holy Spirit who produces divine fruit (Galatians 5:16-23) through the Christian and this fruit actually pleases the Father and proves one to be a legitimate disciple of Jesus (John 15:8).
The Spirit works through the new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17), the new man, in Jesus via the redeemed conscience to seek obedience, NOT obedience to letters, but obedience to divine fruit which fulfills all law; both, codified and “spiritual” (that written upon the heart at conception – Romans 2:14-15).
LGBTQAI++ needs to return to the closet of shame and debauchery and stop their demonic, Marxist, destruction of the mentally ill Trans youth being mutilated sexually/physiologically/psychologically by demonic physicians with an insatiable appetite for profit.
Homosexuality- lesbianism- trans are demonically rooted and shamefully destructive to any society seeking sustainability via morally based norms and ethics.
I served the citizens of Houston for 31-years via the Houston Police Department. I joined the HPD Academy in 1979 when HPD was a hard-charging, law enforcement entity…I was proud to be Houston PD; then, beginning with the Whitmire and Brown administration around 1983, the City of Houston began a moral and ethical decline, policing took on a “community policing” strategy, pacifism, liability orientation, over zealous IAD, and eventually hiring standards were lowered in a PRE-DEI, Affirmative Action initiative…the City of Houston began to compromise with reverse discrimination, Houston became a City of Perversion beginning with the Montrose, Homosexual prostitutes in the lower end of Westheimer began to proliferate as I transported these perverts to Vice. Queerdom attained special privileges in Houston.
Houston incrementally compromised its ethics, its morality, its care and concern for the citizenry, for WOKE policies, for sexually perverse initiatives/immorality and now Houston has become Sodom of the South as it celebrates PRIDE, LGBTQAI++ in its streets and in its Police Department. Houston has become a pacifist, liberal, progressive, Hell-Hole and it will reap what it is sowing in disrespect for Jesus, for morality, for its compromise with evil. Pride/LGBTQAI++ is a Marxist driven perverse ideology that seeks to undermine the Biblical Family Unit, the foundation of sustainability concerning America’s Constitutional Republic.
Cult member: Challenge their false doctrine. How is Jesus Christ Earthy conceived by the Holy Ghost? John 8:23
Elohim told you as early as Genesis 3:15 that there would be One who would enter the Realm of Time born of the “seed of the woman” (not the man which transfers the Adamic sin-nature, Romans 5:12) and this anointed One would do battle with Satan.
Elohim the Holy Spirit, first introduced in Scripture in Genesis 1:2, who is the Logistical Overseer of the Creation Narrative, the active, anointed, Elohim who is the One who accomplishes all things HOLY and eschatological in Scripture, it is the Holy Spirit who was tasked with fertilizing Mary’s womb with the Deity of the Son, Yeshua, who would be born holy, pure, anointed by the Spirit (Luke 1), to accomplish the primary objective of Genesis 3:15 via the battle strategy of the Gospel, ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:9-10), and first proclaimed by Elohim in Genesis 3:21.
The primary objective of Jesus, Elohim the Son, was “to destroy the works of Satan” (1 John 3:8b). Void Messiah’s virgin birth, the entire objective of Elohim the Father would have been nihilistic, as the Anointed One who would provide acceptable blood atonement must be pure, holy, unblemished, spotless, sinless, undefiled and only Jesus, void the Adamic sin-nature, could accomplish this (1 Peter 1:18-19).
Celebrating moral perversion in the streets of a municipality is compromise with Satan and its impact upon young, impressionable, minds it eternally destructive. Shame on Houston, Shame on Houston’s Police Department and City Council and Mayor for compromising moral integrity, fidelity, hatred for Jesus, with a Marxist oriented, pagan rooted, demonically destructive, PRIDE perversion celebration in the public streets of Houston, Texas. I served Houston for 31-years in uniformed law enforcement, joined in 1979 and watched with sadness as my Police Department and my City, especially the Montrose, compromise with Satan’s agenda…filth, perversion, disease, suicide, abuse. Shame on Houston’s morally compromised leadership!
Response to a reply where the respondent advocates for PRIDE mental and spiritual illness. by Rick Holtsclaw,
I policed the Montrose on three different shifts in the early 1980’s and even though I considered my time in the Marine Corps as an infantryman “eye opening,” I had never been exposed to such debauchery, nastiness, vulgar human filth, than those years spent policing the lower end of Westheimer, Avondale, Montrose Boulevard.
As a Christian, homosexuality, lesbianism, transexualism, are abhorrent to our Creator…these are spiritual and mental illnesses walking among us and accepted by a society that murders babies in the womb, much like sacrificing babies to Molech…Houston is a politically, spiritually, sick environment and its disease of liberalism, pacifism, demonism, are reflected in its policies, its affirmation of DEI, Affirmative Action (reverse discrimination), PRIDE-Queer sickness infecting its police department and other departments throughout Houston.
You can make every attempt to justify the demonic behavior of PRIDE but the entire agenda is Marxist based, demonically rooted, seeking to destroy the foundations of a sustainable Constitutional Republic founded upon Christian values, Holy Spirit guided morality, Patriotism, ethics, honesty, fidelity, love for Jesus and love for one’s neighbor, the Biblical family unit.
You are an example of an enemy of all that is sustainable and good and holy and moral. Your advocacy for those men who have anal intercourse with and suck the penis of other men, is simply evil and demonically sick. Your advocacy for women who lick the vulva of other women is simply spiritually and mentally sick. Your advocacy for the mutilation of children via the mental and spiritual illness of TRANS is morally repulsive. You are an advocate of death to the soul and spirit of man. Rick Holtsclaw
