Confusion abounds concerning Elohim’s reasoning for the Creation Narrative; with much brevity, this is what the Holy Spirit proclaims in His word…
The Father ordained the Gospel before Time began in response to the rebellion that manifest in His Kingdom initiated by an anointed cherub angel; this, as the Father commissioned the Son (John 3:35) to procure elements from the unseen Spiritual Realm and fashion same into matter that can be apprehended by life constrained by Time and physics (Hebrews 11:3; Genesis 1; John 1; Hebrews 1; Colossians 1); hence, the creation of our physical Universe, this Earth, our complex genome, for cause with rapidity as a repository for a rebellion having manifest in the Kingdom of God where nothing impure is permitted to exist (Revelation 21:27); therefore, Elohim (Genesis 1:1) removed that rebellion and placed same within this temporary Realm of Time to be dealt with apart from the Kingdom and lessen the destruction therein; this, while dealing with the Evil One who initiated said rebellion as this EVIL is partially constrained by Time and physics.
The previous 6000-years of horror is demonstrative of the work of the Evil One as our Elohim demonstrates to His faithful angelic creation the ramifications of disobedience/sin/defilement and this experientially relevant demonstration will act as a bulwark against future rebellion in the Kingdom (for both angels and redeemed resurrected human kind) subsequent the destruction of this Universe by fire (2 Peter 3:10) as free will remains extant in the Kingdom by necessity, the New Jerusalem.
Our Creator is currently using the New Covenant’s Gospel of Grace to destroy the works of the Devil (1 John 3:8b) and redeem back to Himself a rebellious and stiff-necked people i.e. human kind through self-less love first pictured in Genesis 3:21 and fulfilled 4000-years later at Golgotha outside of Jerusalem with the words “It is finished” (John 19:30).
As the Holy Spirit has said, the Gospel was ordained “before Time began” as the methodology of destroying the works of the Devil (1 John 3:8b) NOT through arbitrary force but through selfless love that only Elohim Himself truly possesses and demonstrates through the Son, Jesus Christ; an agape love that the angels struggle to fully comprehend.
“The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the Devil.” 1 John 3:8b
Concerning those who impugn the Triune nature of Elohim, our Creator…
Jesus and the Father are One-God (John 10:28-30) and Jesus is the exact representation of the Father, Who is Spirit (Colossians 1:15; John 4:24), yet in flesh and the one who has seen Jesus has seen the Father (John 14:9) and anyone who understands the work of Jesus as Elohim, Creator, Healer, Savior, understands that a simple “man” could never accomplish what Jesus has done for us nor can a simple man die for the sins of another but Jesus is our Redeemer, our Intercessor, as He is more than perfected flesh, Jesus is God in flesh entering Time to destroy the works of the Devil for us (John 1; Hebrews 1; 1 John 3:8b)…no man could accomplish this feat as we’re all sinners (Romans 3:23) and subject to the Devil through our sin-nature (Romans 5:12) and no one could secure us internally and eternally but God the Holy Spirit commissioned for this very purpose (Ephesians 1:13-14; John 14:16); without Whom, we could not know God or understand His eschatological purposes for us and through us (1 John 2:27).
Why can’t you allow God the Holy Spirit to speak to you and see that our omnipotent God, our Elohim, has revealed Himself in three-distinct Persons within the Realm of Time and only through this mystery can we know God and commune with Him, forever. To deny the Triune nature of Elohim is to deny the simplicity of what the Holy Spirit provides in His written words from Genesis 1:1 forward.
Is it possible to repent of sin and not be converted or saved from death in Hell?
Yes…you can repent a thousand times daily but until you have humbled yourself and trusted fully with a sincere heart that Jesus Christ is your Lord who died for you to pay your sin-debt, a debt you could never pay yourself, you will remain in your sin and in repeated failure because it’s NOT until such time you have entered into covenant relationship with the Father by faith in the Son, Jesus Christ, and received the indwelling Holy Spirit as your Guarantor of that relationship that you will receive the anointing-strength-power of the Holy Spirit through the process of sanctification making you a new creation in Jesus and providing you power and strength to battle the sin-nature with victory by covenant promise (John 3; Ephesians 1:13-14; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 5:16; Hebrews 8:12).
As articulated in an earlier post, the motorcycle, auto, truck, NOISE abuse by those illegally modifying their exhaust mechanisms in Florida is OUT OF CONTROL. Recently, I observed a Lee County Sheriff’s Deputy operating an egregiously LOUD police Harley product equipped with illegal COBRA aftermarket exhausts; in response, I wrote the Governor, the Commissioners of Lee County, the Sheriffs Department, I left comments and reviews and only one Commissioner, Kevin Ruane, Lee County, FL – District One, took the initiative to actually question the Sheriffs Office concerning this matter. A Captain Alan Canfield of the Lee County Sheriff’s Department responded with the following,
“Commissioner Ruane,
After speaking with the commander of our Motors Unit, we are in full compliance with the statutes regarding aftermarket exhausts.
I remain available to you,
Alan”
I responded to Commissioner Ruane,
Alan Canfield is either purposefully untruthful or ignorant of Federal and State law. Florida mandates mufflers operated upon the public roadways of that State meet OEM-FEDERAL mandates:
§ 316.293 Motor Vehicle Noise, Florida
(a) No person shall modify the exhaust system of a motor vehicle or any other noise-abatement device of a motor vehicle operated or to be operated upon the highways of this state in such a manner that the noise emitted by the motor vehicle is above that emitted by the vehicle as originally manufactured.
(b) No person shall operate a motor vehicle upon the highways of the state with an exhaust system or noise-abatement device so modified.
————-
NO street use motorcycle operated upon the public roadways of the United States according to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) of the US EPA is permitted to alter or replace the US EPA approved, properly labeled, factor-installed sound suppression device i.e. the OEM Muffler. I grow weary of this abuse and obfuscation by those sworn to provide us protection from narcissistic idiots who destroy our environment, abuse our most innocent, with motorcycle and auto and truck noise emissions that are in multiples (logarithmic) of the legal, total, permitted noise emissions of 80dB(A) concerning motorcycle and truck noise mandates; specifically, the SAE J331a full-throttle motorcycle noise drive-by testing procedure.
Law enforcement, nationwide, is complicit in this societal scourge and Captain Canfield should be censured for either his lack of knowledge or his absence of truth in this matter. I am weary of impotence from our law enforcement officials on this subject of societal abuse by narcissistic bullies operating illegally LOUD, illegally modified, illegally equipped motor vehicles on our public roadways.
The Harley FLHT-P in the photo is illegal according to Federal and State Law and the officer and officers operating same are obviously guilty of the same narcissistic, bully, attitude of those who destroy our daily quality of life via the operation of illegally LOUD motor vehicles daily in Florida, in our communities…shame on you! NOTE: concerning the Acoustical Assurance Period (AAP) in the CFR…this is a warranty period from the manufacturer to protect the end purchaser that their muffler will meet and sustain the sound suppression qualities for the time period specified…this does NOT suggest that subsequent to 3730 miles or one-year that the operator is allowed to replace or modify the quiet OEM muffler but the owner is required to maintain the muffler in a condition that maintains the noise suppression qualities of the factory installed muffler for the LIFE of the motorcycle; this, as per the author of the Acoustical Assurance Period (AAP) as per the US EPA.
It is illegal to modify or replace the OEM muffler with an aftermarket exhaust that does NOT comply with the Federal Standards as per the CFR concerning noise emissions and labeling. The COBRA exhaust used by the Sheriff’s Officer is NOT in compliance with the law concerning labeling and noise emissions relevant to Federal and State mandates.

FYI, “excessive noise” is anything louder than what the Federal Code of Regulations via the US EPA has deemed safe for the general public…for motorcycles operated on the public roadways of the United States…that safe level is 80dB(A) as per the US EPA’s SAE J331a full throttle drive-by testing procedure…this is commonsense and it’s a shame that our law enforcement community finds no problem with allowing the abuse of our most innocent by the narcissistic thuggery openly displayed on our public roadways daily by bikers, auto and truck narcissists and to add insult to injury, our own law enforcement community is participating in the abusive conduct. I am insulted by the Captain’s lack of candor.
To Commissioner Ruane and Captain Canfield, Lee County Sheriff’s Department, Florida
I ask you again…are you and your fellow commissioners going to allow Captain Canfield to cover-up the unlawful activity of their motorcycle division and the entire LCSO’s failure to intercede on behalf of the citizenry and allow the vehicular noise thugs to continue destroying our daily quality of life via the operation of illegally LOUD, illegally Equipped motorcycles, auto’s and trucks upon our public roadways?
Lee County goes out of its way to tell me what to do with my property and what I can and can’t do void a “permit” and Lee County goes out of its way to protect turtles, birds, fish, but you CARE NOTHING for our daily quality of life routinely destroyed by LOUD biker thugs, auto’s-truck thugs, operating motor vehicles that do NOT conform to OEM muffler standards as per Florida State Law…and you apparently condone your own Sheriff’s Department’s compromise with vehicular noise thuggery as I showed you a deputy’s motorcycle illegally equipped with COBRA “NOT FOR ROAD USE” “COMPETITION ONLY” aftermarket exhausts and you’ve apparently sided with the dishonesty of the Motorcycle Division’s commander…this is shameful and disgusting.
If I were to take matters into my own hands and STOP the motor vehicle noise abuse of my family and my neighbors, Lee County would be first to prosecute me and send me to prison for life…I am disgusted by Lee County and Charlotte County’s impotency and absence of care and concern. Pine Island is a haven for vehicular noise thugs, your impotence is unforgivable.
Has the Father’s wrath in response to Israel’s disobedience, unbelief, barred their entrance into the Kingdom?
The Door to Life, Jesus Christ, remains steadfastly compassionate with open arms to every child of Jacob willing to humble themself and acknowledge their sin and inability to save themself through self-righteousness and with a sincere heart believe and confess Jesus Christ as their Messiah who died for them. Jesus as Messiah believing that He died for YOU is the ONLY Way to the Father and eternal life through the Holy Spirit (John 14:6).
Jesus said,
“9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” John 10
The Holy Spirit speaks of Israel’s children in this way,
“12 Therefore, having such a hope, we use great boldness in our speech, 13 and we are not like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face so that the sons of Israel would not stare at the end of what was fading away. 14 But their minds were hardened; for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains unlifted, because it is removed in Christ. 15 But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their hearts; 16 but whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 But we all, with unveiled faces, looking as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.” 2 Corinthians 3 (NASB)
Biblical Law – Law Covenant v. Moral Law of Conscience – only one is truly relevant for Time and Eternity mandated by its genesis…
The “law” relevant to all Scripture is the moral law of conscience (Romans 2:14-15) upon which the Law Covenant is based excluding ceremonial-civil law relevant ONLY to Jacob’s children and proselytes to Judaism in a special dispensation foreshadowing Messiah’s first-advent concerning Elohim’s eschatological plans through Messiah and the New Covenant (Colossians 2:16).
It is this moral law of conscience that judged Satan and the rebellious angels and it is that same moral law that is infused within all of humanity at conception as mankind is created in the spiritual image of Elohim and provided certain communicable attributes of Elohim for His eschatological purposes in Time and Eternity (Genesis 1:26-28); therefore, it is the moral law of conscience that will judge every faithless, unbelieving, man and woman at the Judgment of the Condemned (Revelation 20:11-15) where they will be adjudicated in accordance with their works done in the body as they rejected God’s grace through faith in Jesus the Son of God for the atonement of their sin; this, as no man will be justified by their works of self-righteousness (John 3; Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 3:20).
The moral law of conscience is given in response to infidelity, to rebellion, in response to man’s sin (1 Timothy 1:9), and anyone who seeks righteousness (a right standing) with Elohim via the facade of law keeping in self-righteousness will die in their sin (John 8:24) and die in Hell in the “second death” as no man will be justified before the Father by law-keeping (Romans 3:20) but only by faith in Jesus as their Lord who kept the law for us and offers us His righteousness in exchange for our sin by faith in Him as our Lord (2 Corinthians 5:21).
Why Jesus and the Holy Spirit are infinitely superior to Moses…
The Holy Spirit’s work in the New Covenant as He indwells the faithful (Ephesians 1:13-14; John 14:16), those possessing a new nature in Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17) and walks them daily in the Father’s will through sanctification via the conscience (Galatians 5:16), the Spirit provides an infinitely superior form of obedience to the Father’s will than letters scratched upon parchment by Moses which are subjective and easily disregarded by the seared conscience of the natural man enslaved to a sin-nature (Romans 8; 1 Corinthians 2:14).
Law is for the lawless (1 Timothy 1:9) that judgment, adjudication, might manifest with due process (Revelation 20:11-15) but the faithful in Jesus don’t dwell on letters in cold, unyielding, stone but the Christian thrives on the Holy Spirit who gives life through His faithfulness to secure and teach and sanctify those who love Jesus and honor the Father by faith in the Son (John 14:16; 1 John 2:27).
The New Covenant is infinitely superior to the Old Covenant of Law as the letters of Moses kills the soul in condemnation void atonement (Romans 3:20) but the Spirit gives life through grace and peace through wisdom and knowledge granted by covenant promise as the Spirit methodically conforms the faithful into the obedient image of Jesus Christ as He prepares the Father’s children for service in the New Jerusalem (Hebrews 8:12; Romans 5:1; Romans 8; 2 Corinthians 3:6).
If one desires true LIFE and PEACE with our Heavenly Father, there is no other Way to achieve that covenant relationship but through Jesus as Lord (John 14:6; Romans 5:1) with the Holy Spirit indwelling you and walking you daily in sanctification with patience and love and mercy (Galatians 5:16). The OLD condemns void atonement (Romans 3:20) but the New gives life through peace with the Father via faith, forgiveness, redemption, in Jesus and the Spirit as our wisdom and truth in sanctification (Romans 5:1).
Homosexuality – Lesbianism – Transsexualism is a perversion of our Creator’s intent as He created them male and female in The Beginning and ordained the Biblical family unit as KEY to the survivability of human kind. It is innate within the conscience of mankind that the penis of a male does not belong in the rectum or mouth of another male nor does the genitalia of two-women bumping and grinding and licking together conform to the intended sexual act between one-man and one-woman for life…this is perversion of the natural order.
Nor does the healthy mind believe that a woman can become a man and vice versa…this is demonic deception that undermines the health, welfare, stability, of any society; therefore, a healthy society naturally concerns itself with its longevity and sustainability; therefore, to tolerate or advocate for sexual perversion and the instruction and support for same in the public square, the public school classroom, through media, is self-destruction, shame, immoral, embarrassing to any people who desire a wholesome life, a strong family unit, a nation under girded by our Creator’s blessing and protection.
Concerning the unending deadly deception/obsession of Torah-Law Worship…
The Holy Spirit is DONE with Torah-Law failure (Hebrews 8:7); hence, the New Covenant arbitrated by the Spirit via the Gospel via the conscience through sanctification; Torah Law is NOTHING but a reiteration, with some specificity for the Hebrew Tribes, of the moral law provided the angels and human kind as an arbiter of free will.
Torah worship is a spiritual illness of futility and self-righteousness and death as the Torah only defined your sin but provided no atonement (Romans 3:20)…the Torah is incomplete (Romans 8+)…it was replaced by grace and faith through the Son, not works of the Law that condemns the soul to Hell through self-righteousness (Romans 3:20; Galatians 2:16; Romans 8; Galatians 3:10; Isaiah 64:6).
Law v. Faith – which is eternally relevant, superior and why?
It is not Biblical or relevant to the New Covenant to strive after letters etched in stone or scratched upon parchment when these letters are relevant for the rebellious, the ungodly, the self-righteous (1 Timothy 1:9) because the one who has trusted in Jesus is freed from the “law of sin and death” (Romans 8; Galatians 2:16) as they are endowed by the indwelling Holy Spirit who walks them daily in the process of sanctification where the Spirit teaches them, guides them, tutors them, in the Father’s will and the Spirit’s leadership via the conscience via the new nature (2 Corinthians 5:17) in Christ is FAR SUPERIOR to letters scratched upon parchment, etched in cold stone, because letters are subjective, controversial, easily absorbed-rationalized in a seared conscience and ultimately disregarded, but the Spirit via the new-nature (2 Corinthians 5:17) is undeniable, unrelenting, faithful, ever-present and walks the faithful in Jesus in sanctification and secures them, forever (John 14:16); therefore, I choose to listen to the Spirit and NOT worry about letters that could never provide me life or enduring peace with my Heavenly Father (Romans 5:1; Romans 6:14-18).
