Why did Elohim Create the World?
Does the Universe have a Purpose? Yes…
Does the Universe have a purpose? Yes!
The Universe, specifically, this Earth, was created as a temporary repository for the Great Kingdom War initiated by a rebellious, covetous, anointed cherub angel (Luke 10:18; Revelation 12:3-9).
Elohim the Father initiated the creation narrative and delegated authority to Elohim the Son as Creator (Genesis 1; John 1; Hebrews 1; Colossians 1; John 3:35) who took elements from the unseen Spiritual Realm and fashioned those elements into matter, atoms, that can be apprehended by a life-form subject to Time and physics (Hebrews 11:3). It is also interesting to note that Elohim the Holy Spirit is first introduced as the Logistical Overseer of the Creation Narrative in Genesis 1:2.
This is but one reason why Satan, an anointed cherub angel (Ezekiel 28:11-15), is the first creature introduced subsequent Elohim forming Adam from the dust of the ground and Eve from the rib of Adam. This is why a formal declaration of war is proclaimed by Elohim in Genesis 3:15, a war that would involve Satan and an anointed One who would enter Time through the seed of the woman and do battle with Satan, Jesus our Messiah.
Immediately following this proclamation of war in Genesis 3:15, Elohim pictures His battle strategy, the Gospel, by which He would destroy the works of Satan (death-Hell-the grave); the Gospel is first pictured for human kind in Genesis 3:21 with the shedding of innocent blood by Elohim, Himself, to cover Adam and Eve in a gifted, imputed, robe of righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21) while Elohim rejected Adam’s self-righteous attempt to cover and conceal his sin with fig leaves of human righteousness (Ephesians 2:8-9); in fact, the primary reason the Son of God, Jesus our Messiah, entered Time was “to destroy the works of Satan” (1 John 3:8b). Jesus fulfilled the prophecy in Genesis 3:15 via the battle strategy pictured in Genesis 3:21 some 4000 years later on a Roman Cross outside of Jerusalem on a mount called “Golgotha.” Jesus, born of the seed of the woman (Not Adam’s seed via Joseph) destroyed the works of Satan via His own shed blood as atonement for sin (Matthew 26:28; 1 Peter 1:18-19) which harkens back to Genesis 3:21 and a Gospel that was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-9).
The entire purpose for this temporary Universe and specifically this temporary Earth and our complex genome is as participants and as a temporary physical repository for an unfathomable Spiritual War that rages on around us, through us, as we choose to be a warrior for Jesus by faith or a warrior for Satan via submission to the lust of the flesh.
Long story short…we’re in an unfathomable spiritual war, we are warriors for one of two parties, Jesus or Satan. This IS the “purpose” for the Universe, a temporary physical repository for war as Elohim restores order, peace, holiness, to His eternal Kingdom, a Holy Kingdom disrupted by a rebellion, a mutiny, initiated by an anointed cherub before Time began.
Why did Jesus repeatedly condemn religious leadership, Old Covenant failures?
Why did Jesus point out Israel’s failures, the hypocrisy of religious leadership/the Law Covenant, repeatedly, during His ministry?
The focus on the Old Covenant by Jesus was integral with His efforts to incrementally move His ministry, initiated in Law as He was born under the Law, into a ministry of grace that is actuated by faith, alone, in Him as Messiah, alone. A New Covenant where obedience is made possible through the indwelling Holy Spirit and the production of divine fruit as opposed to keeping arduous rules and regulations that the sin-nature was not able to uphold.
Jesus points out the failures of the Old Covenant and its representatives, the Pharisees and the Sadducees, the Council members…these represented the worst of what the Law had to offer; that is, through these religious leaders, Jesus demonstrated the perils of law via subjectivity, rationalization, hypocrisy. These are resultants of the Adamic sin-nature seeking righteousness through law keeping.
The sin-nature, integral with the pride and arrogance of man, easily and quiet effectively, rationalizes away, justifies away, obfuscates, what the conscience seeks to arbitrate toward holiness and righteousness. Moral relativism is a huge failure of codified law and spiritual law.
Jesus’ ministry, the New Covenant, the Gospel, is oriented toward a New and LIVING Way to walk in obedience to the Father’s will as we are prepared for service in the New Jerusalem via daily Christian sanctification (Galatians 5:16); that is, in the New Covenant, the focus is upon the indwelling Holy Spirit who is given to the redeemed in Jesus as their personal Guarantor and Seal of New Covenant promise (Ephesians 1:13-14; Hebrews 8:12).
It is through the Spirit’s work in daily Christian sanctification where He anoints the redeemed in Jesus with a new and enlivened/sensitive conscience, the “new creation” (2 Corinthians 5:17), it is the new man that is made exponentially aware of the Father’s will and that will is expressed and satiated through the production of divine fruit (Galatians 5:16-23) and it is this fruit that wonderfully and successfully fulfills all law; both, codified and spiritual (Galatians 5:23); this divine fruit of the Spirit actually pleases the Father and proves one to be a disciple of Jesus (John 15:8). This divine fruit will also stand the test of authenticity at the BEMA Judgment of Messiah.
If you study Messiah’s ministry carefully, you will see a subtle, incremental, steady, transition from “keep my commandments” (John 14:15) to “produce much fruit” (John 15:8) and Jesus also teaches that it is “fruit” that differentiates between teachers of divine truth and wolves in sheep’s clothing (Matthew 7:16).
This subtle move in Jesus’ ministry is further expounded upon by Jesus’ minister of the Gospel to the Gentiles, Paul…who teaches that the redeemed are no longer under letters of condemnation weakened by the sin nature (Romans 8), but the redeemed are led by the Spirit to produce divine fruit (Romans 7:6).
Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit: What was it; What is it?
Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, what was it, what is it? (Matthew 12:22-32)
Blasphemy against the Spirit, a condemnation to the Pharisees who had suggested that Jesus exorcised demons by the power of the chief of the demonic; namely, Beelzebul, is a divine condemnation that cannot be repeated subsequent this unique scenario, why?
The reason Jesus condemned the Pharisees to Hell without hope of a pardon is due the fact that they had been eyewitnesses to the miracles of Jesus which were performed by the power of the Holy Spirit who indwelt Jesus during His Earthly ministry. For this reason, their blasphemy would never be forgiven in this age (Law) or the age to come (Grace).
Today, subsequent Messiah’s ascension, this particular form of “blasphemy against the Holy Spirit” is not possible though there is one form of blasphemy of the Spirit that remains relevant; that is, a rejection of the Holy Spirit’s call upon one’s life to repent and believe the Gospel. If one dies in an unredeemed state having rejected Jesus as their Messiah, there remains only Judgment, there is no hope of eternal life, forgiveness of sin, for that individual (Hebrews 9:27).
Hebrew Roots: Israel’s failures on repeat?
Hebrew Roots: A cult of self righteousness?
The Decalogue was never given to the Gentile and no Gentile is documented as having observed Torah Law or a Sabbath (Genesis or the Decalogue Sabbath) lest same sought refuge under Israel’s theocracy.
There exists no scriptural instructions or command concerning how the Genesis Sabbath was to be observed nor is there one single documentation of anyone from the Adamic or Noahic generations observing a Sabbath until subsequent Exodus 16.
Hebrew Roots is, for all intents and purposes, a works cult that captures the heart and mind of the well intentioned and traps them in the age old heresy of Israel’s self righteousness through Torah observance to the exclusion of or dilution of the sufficiency of faith, alone, in Messiah as atonement for sin. This is the broad road to the second death in Hell due servitude to a false, impotent, Messiah.
Romans 10, Concerning Israel’s children,
10 “Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation. 2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge. 3 For not knowing about God’s righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the [a]end of the Law for righteousness to everyone who believes.”
Pete Hegseth: Trans slur?
Trans is a demonically rooted mental illness that is employed by the Marxist in society to undermine the integrity and necessity of the Biblical Family Unit essential to the sustainability, longevity, of the United States Constitution and to America’s viability.
Trans is also a demonic attack on the youth of America via the amputation/mutilation of sexual organs, infusion of puberty blockers and other life altering hormones; this, for profit. Trans is a demonic attack on the family, our children, our Nation. Excise the Marxist; Excise the Democratic Socialist; Excise the suicidal empathic liberal progressive. Save America!!!
KUDOS to Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth! Trans mental and spiritual illness has no place in the United States Military or in our Law Enforcement community.
Obedience in the New Covenant: Torah or Divine Fruit?
If one seeks to honor Torah, they must first trust, believe, in Jesus as Messiah who died for them to pay a sin-debt they cannot pay them self, receive the Holy Spirit as Guarantor of New Covenant relationship and allow the Spirit’s anointing to produce divine fruit through them, divine fruit that fulfills all that Torah commands concerning morality, divine fruit that fulfills the elements of all moral law (spiritual and codified) while simultaneously pleasing the Father and proving one to be a disciple of Jesus (John 3; Ephesians 1:13-14; Romans 6:14; Galatians 5:16-23; John 15:8; Romans 7:6).
Christian, you are not under Torah Law (Romans 6:14), you are under grace through faith in Jesus (Romans 6:14). You attain obedience in the New Covenant subsequent salvation by faith in Jesus, obedience that pleases the Father, through the anointing of the Holy Spirit who works through you to produce divine “fruit” (Galatians 5:16-23) that will stand the test of authenticity relevant to the BEMA Judgment of Messiah and this fruit will honor the Father’s will for your life and testify to this lost, defiled, World, that you are a true disciple of Jesus (John 15:8).
