Those enslaved by Religion are aghast at the concept of Salvation by grace through faith, why?

Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , , , ,
Those trapped in religion – Torah – Moses – Judaism – Messianic Judaism – Hebrew Roots fanaticism – Legalism, are aghast at the idea of pure grace (unmerited favor) through faith, alone, as the KEY to Elohim’s heart and eternal life via the forgiveness of sin…let me explain and please, hear me out?

A brief history,

The Gospel of Grace, the New Covenant of Peace, as introduced through Messiah was ordained as a divine battle strategy by Elohim “to destroy the works of the Devil” via Messiah’s blood atonement provided at Golgotha outside the gates of the Old City some 2000-years ago and this Gospel was foreordained as the Father’s divine will “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10).

The Adamic-Noahic generations were ordained as progenitors of the Messiah; unfortunately, these generations defiled themselves with unconscionable compromise, perversion, with the demonic – paganism and nullified their divine ordination and so great was their corruption of the human genome that Elohim destroyed all but eight via water (Genesis 6:5).

Elohim’s 2nd-Attempt,

Elohim began anew with Noah and Noah’s family and through Noah’s son, Shem, Elohim brought forth the Patriarchy of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob (Israel) and through Jacob’s son, Judah, Elohim introduced His Messiah to the World. Please understand that Torah; specifically, details concerning Sinai, Moses, Law, Ordinances, blood sacrifices, Sabbaths, these things were simply a temporary roadmap leading to the Messiah and the Gospel, Torah was NEVER intended to be the destination (Galatians 3:24).

Why Sinai?

Sinai and Moses and Ordinances and Sabbaths were given specifically to Israel’s children in a Covenant of Law for sanctification (a setting apart from paganism) and eschatological purposes. Never were these aspects of Torah to be considered relevant for the Gentile lest said Gentile was seeking refuge in the protective confines of Israel’s theocracy.

Also, understand the reasoning for Elohim’s “giving of the Sinai Law” to Israel as Elohim’s motive relevant to Sinai was a response to His dreadful concerns over a repeat of the failures of the Adamic and Noahic generations and their compromise with the demonic i.e., paganism that thwarted their ordination as progenitors of Messiah; therefore, Sinai’s motives were to detail Israel’s proper protocol with Elohim (1-4) and Israel’s proper protocol sociologically between the Tribes (5-10); these edicts were to be obeyed meticulously as Israel’s children were commanded to be holy as Elohim is Holy (Leviticus 21:8; Exodus 19:6; 1 Peter 1:16); in fact, Israel’s covenant relationship with Elohim was completely based upon National obedience (Deuteronomy 28). This strict obedience through adherence to codified laws was intended to thwart Israel’s compromise with the pagan tribes surrounding them, defiled, sexually perverse, murderous, infanticide, that relentlessly sought Israel’s compromise with the pagan gods of Baal and Molech.

Sinai (codification) v. Spiritual Law,

Sinai and Moses’ related ordinances were but a MERE FRACTION of the comprehensive Spiritual Law that is written upon the human heart, the human genome by Elohim (Romans 2:14-15); in fact, the Spiritual Law has been relevant as an arbiter of free will subsequent the creation of the Angels. Sinai and Moses’ edicts, laws, ordinances, were NOT sufficient to engender righteousness with Elohim (Romans 3:20) but were simply a fragmented codification of the divine, infinitely superior, Spiritual Law that governed the conduct of and condemned the Adamic and Noahic generations of defilement.

Law in the New Covenant,

Also note that the Spiritual Law written upon the human heart by our Creator (Romans 2:14-15) is the very same Law that is applicable in the New Covenant promises (Jeremiah 31; Ezekiel 36; Hebrews 10) as the Spiritual Law written upon the human heart was foreordained to be arbitrated by the indwelling Holy Spirit (Ezekiel 36:27; Ephesians 1:13-14; John 14:6) who mates the redeemed conscience of the faithful in Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17) with the enlivened Spiritual Law as written upon the heart; this catalyst as employed by the indwelling Spirit forms the New Man in Messiah and consequently produces divine “fruit” through the redeemed in Jesus, fruit that fulfills ALL LAW and glorifies the Father (Galatians 5:16-23; John 15:8).

Christians are therefore NOT under Torah-Sinai-Moses (Romans 6:14) but Christians are under the “Law of the Spirit of Life” (Romans 8:2; Romans 7:6); in fact, a Christian who knows their position and responsibility toward the Father in the New Covenant does not go about their day consciously thinking about obedience to Torah, Sinai, Moses, Days, Diets, Clothing-Fabrics, Sabbaths, but they are intently tuned to the Spirit’s leadership in every aspect of their daily life and with the Spirit as one’s Teacher and Arbitrator, THERE IS PEACE with the Father via a good conscience (Romans 5:1).

The New Covenant is Unique,

The New Covenant is NEW, it is NOT a reiteration of the Old Covenant’s Law System (New wine in new wine skins); the New Covenant is NOT about keeping Sinai or Moses or Days or Ordinances or Diets but the New Covenant ordained “before Time began” via the Gospel (2 Timothy 1:8-10) is about divine PEACE with the Father through faith in the Son, Jesus Christ, who provided humanity blood atonement that is acceptable by the Father which results in the New Covenant promise of absolution, forgiveness, for our sin by divine grace through faith in Jesus (Hebrews 8:12).

Enslavement to Law, Judaism, Hebrew Roots, Religion,

You are free to enslave yourself to religious works and days and diets and ordinances and Torah and Judaism and Messianic Judaism and Hebrew Roots fanaticism as long as you understand that your only Path to life and forgiveness of sin and Covenant relationship with Elohim is by faith in Jesus our Messiah trusting fully in Him as completely sufficient to redeem you and present you acceptable to the Father via the gifting, the imputation, of HIS righteousness over your life earned for us via Messiah’s blood atonement at Golgotha (John 14:6; 2 Corinthians 5:21).

Jesus and Commandments,

Jesus said, “If you love me you will keep my Commandments” (John 14:15-31) and Jesus’ Commandments are that we love Elohim above all else and that we love our neighbor as our self (Matthew 22:36-40) and this is why the Holy Spirit places “love” at the very top of His list of divine “fruit” that is manifest through the daily life of the redeemed in Jesus (Galatians 5:22-23); therefore, if one truly desires to honor Jesus’ commands, they must first be “born again” by faith in Jesus as Messiah (John 3) and subsequently “walk by the Spirit” (Galatians 5:16) allowing the Spirit to produce fruit through them that fulfills ALL LAW.

The “law of sin and death” i.e., Torah-Sinai (Romans 8:2) could NEVER accomplish what the Spirit accomplishes in the life of the redeemed in Jesus as the “law of sin and death” was weakened by the Adamic sin-nature (Romans 5:12) and there was no indwelling Holy Spirit within the individual during the Law Covenant to arbitrate that sin-nature ingrained in the human genome.

In closing,

Therefore, if you desire intimate relationship with the Father, you must first “believe” in the Son, Jesus, your Messiah who died for you (John 3); then, receive the promised indwelling Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14) and walk by the Spirit in daily Christian sanctification as He prepares you for service in the New Jerusalem (Galatians 5:16). There is no other Way (John 14:6)!

How can I find Spiritual Truth? How can I be saved from death in Hell?

How can I find Spiritual Truth? How can I be saved from death in Hell?

I know because I did. I would not tell you this lest I had experienced it personally. The KEY to life and hope and joy and peace is getting alone, acquiring a readable version of the Canon of Scriptures….my first read was the paraphrased version known as “The Living Bible” and sit quietly, simply ask the Father to show you what He desires you know…humbly ask the Father to give you a heart that is willing to receive…just humble yourself…try the Lord and ask Him…open your Bible to the “Gospel of John” and read every word with intent and a heart willing to accept the Father’s anointing and understanding…reflect on what you’re reading and ponder the possibilities…at least make an effort to find life in Jesus before dying in this fallen World and suffering Judgment that is wholly avoidable by faith in Jesus who died for you to pay your sin-debt owed the Father. JUST DO IT! (you have nothing to lose)

Jesus – The Holy Spirit – Faith: The Keys to Divine Knowledge

Religion - Christianity, , , , , ,
Concerning the Creation Narrative – our Creator, Jesus the Messiah & Belief v. Unbelief (The Key to Knowledge)

What we “believers” in Jesus know that you unbelievers do not is that all we see and interact with within the Realm of Time is rooted in the Spiritual Realm…you “unbelievers” falsely believe that what you interact with relevant to your atrophying senses is all that exists but this is a naive fallacy and this is why spiritual ignorance dominates a life of atheism, secular humanism i.e., nihilism (1 Corinthians 2:14).

Time, physics, matter, your complex genome are products of the Spiritual Realm and they were “created” by Jesus for cause and those who desire to KNOW and UNDERSTAND in this life must seek answers from the more relevant, infinitely superior, Realm of the Spiritual and until such time you and yours acknowledge this reality and pursue it with a sincere heart by faith willing to believe, you will remain in nihilism and perish in Hell in unbelief as Jesus our Messiah is your only Hope for life and knowledge and understanding as Jesus’ Kingdom is not of this World or this faltering, decaying, Realm of Time but of the Realm of the Spiritual, eternal, infinitely superior; herein lies the fallacy and failures of atheism and secular humanism; that is, “unbelief” that culminates in spiritual ignorance and nihilism and ultimately death in Hell.

If you desire “knowledge” concerning the who, what, where, when, why, relevant to our presence in the Realm of Time, “you must be born again” (John 3) by faith in Jesus who is the “Door” to this knowledge (John 10:9-16) and receive the indwelling Holy Spirit who IS our divine Teacher (Ephesians 1:13-14; 1 John 2:27).

Why did Elohim create humanity knowing the propensity for compromise with sin via free will?

Why did Elohim create humanity knowing the propensity for compromise with sin via free will?

Because the creation narrative is infinitely more profound than most understand as the creation narrative concerns a response to an unfathomable coup/rebellion that manifest in the Kingdom of Elohim before Time was created and our temporary Earth, Time, the human genome created in response to that spiritual war between Elohim and Satan and this temporary Realm of Time is nothing more than a temporary repository or battle ground as Elohim removed the destruction of war from His Kingdom and placed that war here to deal with it apart from the Kingdom where nothing impure is permitted to exist (Rev 21:27).

Humanity is but a temporary player in this spiritual war between good v. evil through which the Gospel of Grace has been used to defeat Satan at Golgotha via the selfless love of Elohim in Messiah Jesus; in fact, the primary reason Messiah Jesus entered Time was “to destroy the works of the devil.” You and I possess the free will to choose an alliance with Elohim or Satan…our eternal destiny is contingent upon whom we ally with. I choose victory in Jesus (Revelation 5:5).

A talking snake in Eden, please explain?

Atheists-Secular Humanists mock the account of a “talking serpent” in Eden immediately subsequent the Creation Narrative, what is the Truth?

If you studied and sought Elohim with a pure heart, you would understand the deeper Truths of Scripture and how the Holy Spirit weaves these beautiful threads together throughout His words via precept upon precept and line upon line. It is the one who searches and seeks and desires spiritual knowledge with a heart willing to believe that receives the deeper Truths of Scripture often likened to the peeling away of an onion skin…the more steadfast the search, the more spiritual truth the Holy Spirit reveals.

First of all…there was no “talking snake” in Eden but the Holy Spirit used the attributes of a serpent as analogous to the attributes of Satan. If one studies and listens to the Spirit, they will find that the Holy Spirit discreetly describes what Eve observed and communed with in Eden and why she was so enamored by what she observed.

You, in your atheism, are physics bound – you do not possess the cognitive and spiritual acuity, due your atheism, to understand that the World constrained by the Realm of Time is a minuscule, almost irrelevant and temporary, fragment of reality and that there exists a Spiritual Realm surrounding us, permeating us, that is infinitely superior and more detailed and complex than this temporary creation that is decaying daily; in fact, 99% of all that is manifesting before our eyes is rooted in the unseen Spiritual World…Jesus plainly tells you that He is NOT from this Realm of Time…His Kingdom is in the Spiritual World (John 18:36). We too are spirits constrained by a decaying body of flesh and our true selves will not be free until we rid our self of this body of sin subject to physics and death.

If you desire to know what Eve observed in Eden, I’ll share the Holy Spirit’s account as He interrupts the prophet Ezekiel’s warning to the King of Tyre to insert a tidbit of knowledge to those who seek it…the MEME below articulates these relevant verses.

The Atheist: Hypocritical Bullies; Abusive-pretentious servants of Satan

Liberal Ideology, Religion - Christianity, , , ,

As a Christian who has debated the atheist for YEARS, I can only quietly giggle in anger when I receive rebuttal from the demonically led atheist that my Christianity is inferior because I don’t play by their rule; that is, I’m not the meek and mild Christian victim of their ludicrous demonic religious mockery and hatred; I tell the atheist the uncomfortable Truth; that is, they are dying in their sin (John 8:24), their lives in atheism are nothing more than nihilistic impotency and lest they repent and trust in Jesus they will suffer horrifically as they approach the “second death” in Hell due their rejection of Messiah Jesus for the forgiveness of sin (John 3; Revelation 20:11-15).  

I do consider the atheist a sissified, self-endowed, ignorant fool and if one is repulsed by that character summation all one must do to acknowledge the truism that atheists are spiritually dead, cognitively handicapped, servants of Satan is sit quietly for a few minutes and absorb their demonic rhetoric as they dehumanize and insult and mock a Christian seeking to share with them the Truth of Scripture, the Gospel. 

Atheists are bully tyrants, fascists, in a demonic religion of ha-te – sexual perversion – infanticide – Marxism – Progressivism. I do not recommend a Christian, one that adheres to Paul’s admonition to Timothy (2 Timothy 2:25); that is, to rebut critics of Christianity with “meekness and gentleness” to engage the demonic atheist…it’s not worth the injury to your obedient and loving soul but I know the atheist, they are sissified bullies…so let’s do this!

You sissified bully atheists in this forum…I have noticed over time how you treat Christians, especially @JustSayin…shame on you hypocrites as you gag at a gnat and swallow a camel.

Is the “Big Bang” the genesis of Creation?

Uncategorized, , , ,
Should we believe the “Big Bang” is the genesis of Creation?

No. Personally, I believe Elohim the Father (Genesis 1:1) commissioned Elohim the Son, Jesus Christ (John 3:35; John 1; Hebrews 1), to take elements from the unseen Spiritual Realm and fashion those elements into matter that can be apprehended by a life-form constrained by Time and physics (Hebrews 11:3).

I believe the creation narrative, as articulated in Genesis 1 of the Canon of Scripture, was for cause and in response to an unfathomable coup d’etat in the Realm of the Spiritual, a coup initiated by an anointed cherub angel later to be identified as Satan, a deceiver, (Genesis 3; Ezekiel 28:11+; John 8:44; Revelation 12) and that destructive war was removed from the Kingdom of Elohim where nothing impure is permitted to exist therein (Rev 21:27) and this present Earth and the Realm of Time created as a temporary repository for that war and its spiritual participants partially constrained by Time and physics; this, while humanity is simply a player/created participant in this spiritual war between good and evil/Jesus v. Satan; in fact, the primary reason Jesus the Messiah entered Time in bodily form was “to destroy the works of the Devil” (1 John 3:8b) via a battle strategy introduced as “The Gospel” which was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10) and that battle, a cosmic struggle between good v. evil, Jesus v. Satan, was first pictured for humanity by the Holy Spirit in Genesis 3:14-15 and Genesis 3:21 and expounded upon by Messiah in the Gospels and His Revelation to the Apostle John on the Island of Patmos in 90AD.

All of the strife, wars, horror, death, disease, that have transpired over the previous 6000-years find their genesis in the Realm of the Spiritual before Time began and this struggle is currently being played-out before our eyes; tragically, only a “few” have eyes to see and ears to hear what the Spirit is teaching us as only a relative “few” will trust-believe in Jesus as Messiah and find life and knowledge in His Name (Matthew 7:13-14). Jesus is victorious (Revelation 5:5).

Christianity v. Atheism; Conservative v. Progressive; just a simple difference in social programming?

Uncategorized, , , ,

As one who loves, adores, worships, Jesus our Messiah, Elohim the Father and Elohim the Holy Spirit, I discuss atheists, progressives, democrats, Marxists, LGBTQ perverts, abortionists and denote these as EVIL people at their core…these are those who murder babies in the womb and fight and clamor and demonstrate for the perceived “right” to mutilate babies at ANY point of gestation; these are the people who fight and clamor and pollute our society with the most vile of sexual perversion and then mandate their mental and spiritual illness be forced upon our children in public schools; sick and perverse trans drag queens humping in the face of children and demanding they chant their demonic lyrics, these arrogant sexual demons force their demonic culture upon our families, our weak church congregations and administrations…these are Marxists who hate America, our freedoms, our Christianity, they hate Israel and advocate for Islamic terrorism and terrorists…the atheist – secular humanist – democrat – progressive are a vile and demonic people who do NOT deserve the goodness America offers nor are they worthy of the sacrifices made by our fallen in battle. The democrat – the progressive – the atheist – the Marxist – the secular humanist – these are moral-ethical-traitors, these are the demonic among us – these are to be shunned and ostracized as they are worthy of confinement in Federal prison, state mental institutions, deportation, exiled away from our children, our most innocent, our families.

How did Elohim turn the demonically rooted horror of the Jewish Holocaust into VICTORY?

Religion - Christianity, , , , , ,

How did Elohim turn the demonically rooted horror of the Jewish Holocaust into victory?

Elohim allowed Satan and Islam via Hitler to seek Satan’s objective of eradicating the Jewish population, the children of Jacob currently under Judgment for the rejection and murder of Messiah, with the motive of making Elohim a liar concerning His unconditional promises to Abraham, the Land of Israel, the Messiah’s Millennial Kingdom and ultimately the relegation of Satan in Hell, forever (Revelation 20:10)…but…Elohim, in His omnipotence, worked through the strategy of Satan and Islam and Hitler (The Final Solution) to allow the initiation of the Balfour Declaration in conjunction with the “Never Again” movement which ultimately led to the rebirth of the Nation of Israel in 1948 which reset Elohim’s eschatological time-clock and countdown to the Tribulation and the initiation of the Millennial Kingdom with its headquarters in Jerusalem, Israel. Elohim’s omnipotence is unfathomable and His ways beyond finding out. I trust Him fully and He alone is glorified, holy, worthy.

Prayer – Elohim’s Promises – Jewish Holocaust – What Happened?

Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , ,
Prayer – Elohim’s Promises – the Jewish Holocaust – What happened?

Atheists, religionists, cults, sects, who obviously don’t know our Creator or His will blaspheme our Creator for failing to answer prayer; this is especially relevant concerning Jews-Israelite’s and the Holocaust…what happened?

The Jewish/Israeli people are under Judgment…they were gifted as the apple of Elohim’s eye (Zechariah 2:8) and blessed, protected, sustained, sanctified, as Elohim’s chosen but they opted to reject their Messiah sent specifically to them (Matthew 15:24); the Jews falsely accused their Messiah of blasphemy; they had Him scourged beyond recognition and ultimately murdered upon a tree via suffocation while simultaneously demanding that Messiah’s blood be upon them and their children (Matthew 27:25); this, while rejecting the Gospel and their ordination as ministers of the Great Commission; for these reasons, Israel’s children are presently under Judgment and will remain so until the fullness of the Gentiles have entered the Kingdom (Romans 11:25) and as a result of Israel’s unfaithfulness, only a mere “remnant” of Israel’s children will escape the “second death” in Hell (Isaiah 10:22; Romans 9:27) and that saved “remnant” primarily consists of those who endure the Tribulation era having been proselytized by the 144,000 sanctified Jewish witnesses, representatives of the 12-Tribes, spoken of in Jesus’ Revelation through John, Chapter 7.

Concerning those Jews who suffered the Holocaust, their prayers; understand this, let it be known that Elohim only hears the prayers of those who belong to Him through Covenant promise and the prayers of atheists, agnostics, religionists, cults, sects, are not heard or entertained by Elohim lest that prayer is one seeking repentance and New Covenant relationship by faith in the Son, Jesus Christ, which establishes intimate relationship with the Father and is sealed and guaranteed by the indwelling Holy Spirit (John 9:31; Ephesians 1:13-14). Unless one is in the family of Elohim by faith in Jesus as Messiah, they belong to Satan, their prayers are impotent and their lives nihilistic having no significance presently or eschatologically.

Christianity and Prayer – unanswered?

Concerning Christians who have allegedly not had their prayers answered, this is a false premise. Elohim answers every prayer with either Yes, No, Wait. Elohim is not a sky-daddy guru eagerly awaiting, obligated, to the beckoning of sinful humanity. Additionally, there is no evidence that these allegedly spurned “Christians” were truly Christians. The World is replete with men and women who profess to be Christians but they are servants of the World, they’ve never entered into covenant relationship with the Father by faith in the Son, Jesus Christ…these are as theologically useless, perhaps more so, as a demonically controlled atheist concerning furthering the eschatological will of our Creator in Time.

31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens to him. John 9:31 (ESV).
