What is the meaning and purpose of LIFE?

Liberal Ideology, Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , , ,

This temporary life constrained by Time and physics is a temporary battle ground for an unfathomable war with its origin in the eternal Spiritual Realm and you and I are intricate players in that war between good v. evil. Our purpose here is as warriors who will choose to ally with our Creator or our Creator’s nemesis and our destiny is wholly contingent upon our alliances in the here and now. 

If you do not understand this reality, a spiritual reality clearly articulated within the Canon of Scripture, nihilism is the resultant, nihilism is pervasive and spiritual ignorance is death of the body, mind, soul. Our Creator has provided you with His battle strategy within the Canon of Scripture and Elohim has clearly articulated the who, what, where, when, why, how, concerning your origin and your purpose and your destiny; therefore, you are provided the opportunity to KNOW and LIVE ABUNDANTLY in that knowledge or deny and DIE IN FUTILITY; if you desire “meaning” and “purpose” in this temporary life you will find it in the Canon of Scripture and ultimately in a personal, intimate, relationship with your Creator who is Jesus our Messiah; otherwise, your tenure upon this temporary Earth will be of no account, an existence of wastefulness.

You are a spirit encapsulated, constrained, confined, within a decaying body of flesh and your spirit is created in the spiritual image of your Creator (Genesis 1:26-28) possessing certain divine attributes of our Creator; therefore, if you exist apart from your Creator through denial of His existence and sovereignty over your life, you will exist in nihilism, a subpar existence defined by an all encompassing sense of dissatisfaction with the status quo, you will question your raison d’etre and life will have no lasting purpose or joy. If you choose to honor your Creator, Jesus Christ, by faith and trust in Him as your Sovereign Lord, your life will be filled with purpose, hope, peace; therefore, choose wisely. Walk daily in Christian sanctification via obedience to the indwelling Holy Spirit; here, you will find peace (Galatians 5:16; Romans 5:1). This life is NOT about religion’s days and diets and rules and regulations or secularism’s sexual fulfillment and money and the acquisition of things; this life is about serving our Creator and honoring His will through faith, nothing more than an intimate; personal, relationship with the One who created you; herein is the answer and purpose of life within the Realm of Time.

Jesus said,

39 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me,40 yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.41 I do not receive glory from people.42 But I know that you do not have the love of God within you.43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.44 How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God? John 5 (ESV)

Are the secular religions of Atheism-Secular Humanism based solely on Faith?

Religion - Christianity, , , , , ,

I hear the demonically deceived atheists and secular humanists that plague these forums and debates with baseless, unsubstantiated, rhetoric, theories, concerning the myths espoused by Darwin, Aron Ra, Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, Hawking…and I ask the atheist to provide evidence that our Creator does not exist by providing evidence of a naturalistic creation apart from a supernatural Creator yet no evidence is forthcoming; therefore, is it logical to conclude that an atheist’ denial of an omnipotent, supernatural, Creator is based solely upon FAITH? I think it is, change my mind?

Did Elohim foreordain Atheism, rejection of Jesus as Messiah?

Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , , , , , ,

Did Elohim foreordain – predestine the Atheist to reject Him in Jesus Christ?

Romans 8:29: For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.”

Christian Response…

Romans 8:29 tells you that Elohim foreknew you and predestined you to conform to the image of Jesus Christ via the imputation by faith but you chose to conform to the image of Elohim’s nemesis, Satan.

Consider this as it is most relevant, a case in point…

Elohim also foreknew and foreordained Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, as the Patriarchy of a people Elohim called “the apple of my eye” (Zechariah 2:8) and Elohim lavished them with His covenants and provisions and protection and sustenance as they were to be the progenitors of His Messiah through Judah; Messiah Yeshua came directly, specifically, to Israel’s children (Matthew 15:24) to proselytize them in the New Covenant’s Gospel and prepare them as ministers of the Gospel to the entire World via the Great Commission; this, in fulfillment of Elohim’s promise to Abraham (Genesis 12:3b); unfortunately, Israel’s children (like you and other atheists in this forum) rejected their Messiah; Israel’s children rejected the New Covenant and the Gospel; Israel’s children via free will rejected their ordination as ministers of the Great Commission; Israel’s children conspired with Rome to murder their Messiah upon a tree while exclaiming that Messiah’s blood be upon them and their children (Matthew 27:25); therefore, Elohim in Jesus was broken and crushed due their rejection (Matthew 23:37) and ultimately the Gospel and the Great Commission were taken from Israel and given to the Gentile; this, until the fullness of the Gentiles have entered the Kingdom (Romans 11:25; Acts 13:46) and Israel has subsequently, consequently, been placed under judgment and only a “remnant” of Israel’s children will escape the “second death” in Hell due their unbelief and their blindness (Isaiah 10:22; Romans 9:27); therefore, even though Elohim poured Himself and His divine codified laws and covenants into Israel’s children, it was their rejection, their unbelief, their stubbornness, that overrode Elohim’s divine will and ordination of Israel’s children…you are no different…you have been given Jesus as Mediator for your sin by faith yet you err in wisdom and judgment and discernment exactly like Israel’s children, to this very day.

Concerning the Atheist-Marxist who criticizes – insults Jesus Christ, His righteousness…

Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , ,
Concerning the Atheist – Marxist – and their criticism of Jesus our Messiah – His morality and His righteousness…

Morality finds its genesis in our moral, ethical, holy, righteous, Creator, Elohim, as He has written His eternal Spiritual Law upon the human heart (Romans 2:14-15; Hebrews 10:16), infused same within the human genome on Day-6 as Elohim created human kind in His spiritual image possessing certain divine communicable attributes; this, for His eschatological purposes going forward; specifically, as a bulwark against unrestrained narcissism that would have inevitably culminated in societal implosion (Genesis 1:26-28).

The Spiritual Law has been extant as an arbiter of free will subsequent the creation of the angels and that Law will remain extant throughout Eternity as free will remains extant by necessity; this, concerning love and intimacy and relationship with our Creator (John 3:16). The Spiritual Law will also be employed by Jesus Christ at your “Judgment of the Condemned” (Rev 20:11-15) and that Spiritual Law will adjudicate you “guilty” where you will lose both body and soul in Hell in the “second death” as you have rejected Jesus as your Messiah and atonement for your sin (John 3; Acts 4:12).

Elohim does not act in a tyrannical way…He responds with justice and appropriate judgement; after all, this is HIS creation. It is your spiritual father, Satan (John 8:44), that is causation for tyranny and suffering and death and you will perish in Hell in a fate similar to his in that Day (Rev 20:10). Elohim has a specific reason and cause for having created the Realm of Time and physics…this is beyond you or your judgement…you’re but a vapor, a breath in Time (James 4:14) and your spiritual positioning makes you rather irrelevant as well as the only purpose you have in the Realm of Time is servitude to Jesus as His ally but you have chosen to be His foe and you will therefore reap what you sow (Galatians 6:7-8).

Concerning Children who die in body and Culpability before Elohim…

Concerning “Children” who pass into Eternity via death of the body – are they secure in Elohim?

Discussion,

Children who pass into Eternity before having attained an age of reason sufficient to discern right from wrong, good from evil, lacking the cognitive ability to discern our Creator’s sovereignty over their life, these are secure in Jesus as “where there is no law, there is no sin” (Romans 4:15; 5:13); in other words, if one lacks the cognitive maturity or ability to discern the consequences of the law, they are not culpable before Elohim. This same eternal security extends to the mentally deficient, handicapped, as Elohim’s compassion finds no culpability in those unable to discern His spiritual law written upon the heart.

This same truism extends to man’s criminal and civil laws as adjudicatory standards categorize “juvenile law” as wholly distinct from laws that pertain to adults. Man’s law also considers mental illness, contingent upon severity, as an affirmative “defense to prosecution.”

Jesus confirms the eternal security of children in Matthew 19:14 as Jesus tells us that the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to the child and that unless we humble ourselves and come to the Father as a little child by faith, we will not enter the Kingdom (Matthew 18:4).

Also, King David made an interesting confession subsequent the death of his infant son. David testified that the child would not return to him but that he would go to the child upon death of his body indicating David’s knowledge through the Holy Spirit that the child was in the presence of Elohim and when David exhaled his last, he would be with his son in the Kingdom (2 Samuel 12:19-23).

It is interesting to note that in Numbers 14:29, Elohim warned the unfaithful of Israel that those 20-years of age and older, according to the census, would perish in the wilderness due their unfaithfulness. We do NOT know what the “age of accountability” is for our youth today but the Father knows the cognitive ability of each, He alone discerns this and judges accordingly.

Elohim warned,

28 So tell them: As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you exactly as I heard you say. 29 Your bodies will fall in this wilderness— all who were numbered in the census, everyone twenty years of age or older— because you have grumbled against Me. 30 Surely none of you will enter the land in which I swore to settle you, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.… (Numbers 14).

Hebrew Roots and Christianity – compatibility?

Religion - Christianity, , , , ,

Is the Hebrew Roots Movement permissible in the New Covenant?

Hebrew Roots is certainly a permissible movement if the participant does not pursue days, diets, traditions, in a manner that “supplements” or “completes” FAITH as the divine, eternal, element of salvation.

If one chooses to consume only kosher meats and observes a Sabbath and festivals and traditions in order to honor Torah…that is beautiful and certainly acceptable in the New Covenant, but in the life of the Christian, there is NO obligation to honor Torah’s edicts, its traditions, its days and diets as these things foreshadowed the Messiah but Messiah has come (Colossians 2:16; Romans 14) and we are free to eat or refrain according to our own conscience via the indwelling Holy Spirit and we’re free to chose whatever day or everyday to honor our Lord; therefore, in the New Covenant, it’s NOT about what we DO but in Whom we believe and the Spirit is our Arbiter of free will and the Christian honors the Spirit though obedience to Him (Galatians 5:16) which results in the production of divine fruit (Galatians 5:22-23) while in Torah, the old sin-nature sought subjugation to Torah Law, an obedience that could NEVER be fully achieved as the Adamic sin-nature had no arbiter but the flesh and a weakened conscience subject to that flesh.

My personal concerns for Hebrew Roots participants,

My primary concern for those who confess Yeshua as Messiah by faith and simultaneously place an emphasis on Torah observance is the inclination of the sin-nature to slip into theological compromise with works and thereby nullify the purity of faith and thereby fall into a state of apostasy and ultimately condemnation.

I have personally witnessed this in the Messianic Jewish converts who struggle having placed one foot in grace through faith in Yeshua while placing the other in Torah in Temple and the Torah as an Icon of worship. I have witnessed this in my own family.

In private, these people are miserable…they are torn…they are divided…they are compromised…they are lost…they have strayed…some become addicted…others are angry and hateful toward Christianity…it is tragic (Galatians 3).

Why is Jesus infinitely superior to the god of Atheism, Satan, concerning societal sustainability?

Why is Jesus infinitely superior to the god of Atheism, Satan, concerning societal sustainability?

Subsequent 31-years serving in Houston’s Police Department in uniform, having policed some of the most violent and perverse neighborhoods in the United States, I can honestly say that 99% of the horror I interceded in, incarcerated, charged, testified against, were NOT those who possessed an abiding faith in Jesus Christ and conducted their life and raised their family respecting Christian principles/Biblical edicts.

Having to intercede in the lives of the demonically possessed/mentally-spiritually ill, being forced to use deadly force against the unfathomable evil in American society while struggling with same in vomit and bloodshed and being required injections with vaccines against disease due bites and fights with these demonic hoards, diseases ranging from hepatitis to the Bubonic Plague, handling the death and horror and unconscionable filth …I can testify that our American society would be an infinitely healthier society if the overwhelming majority honored our Creator, Jesus Christ, by faith and lived and walked by the indwelling Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14) and we trained our children in the ways of Biblical precepts and infused mores, norms, values, that under girded a sustainable and profitable and loving society through the Biblical family and neighbors and a government that loved each other and honored our Nation founded upon Biblical values and laws patterned after those Biblical values.

It is true that America’s Founders desired a Nation governed by “We the People” and they intuitively knew that in order for the great experiment known as a Constitutional Republic to be successful; in order for a very limited form of Federal Government to be instituted that maximized the personal freedoms of the individual; a Federal Government with limited, fragmented, authority over the States and the people so governed, there must exist a viable form of behavioral-moral restraint over the Adamic sin-nature of mankind (Romans 5:12); therefore, our Founder’s relied solely upon the indwelling Holy Spirit of Elohim, the Holy Spirit given all who have an abiding faith in Jesus as Messiah (Ephesians 1:13-14), the Holy Spirit as the restrainer of destructive human narcissism (2 Thessalonians 2:7) that left unchecked would culminate in societal implosion; furthermore, our Founder’s knew that the Adamic sin-nature, left unchecked and unrestrained by the Holy Spirit, while existing under a very limited Government, there would be insufficient numbers of police, prosecutors, judges, jails, prisons, to maintain peace, law and order. This is why early sketches of American Townships and Municipalities depict a Christian Church, a Steeple, on almost every street corner as the cornerstone of a sustainable and viable and honorable United States of America.

America has lost its way, its Founding Principles; these, having been surrendered to the demonic Atheist, the Secular Humanist; this, via Progressive idiots represented by men like radical Progressive John Dewey, the father of modern education, and Darwin, the proselytizer of atheism via evolutionary theory forced upon America’s students in the classroom as a “biological science.” America’s youth have been spiritually and psychologically destroyed through an educational system inundated with Progressive idiocy and secular humanists, Marxist, philosophies via radical atheists like Madalyn Murray O’Hair, Engel v. Vitale (1962) – the extrication of Jesus from the classroom; Darwin (1963) and we have no one to blame but ourselves. Jesus has walked away from our abortions, America’s murder of babies in the womb; Jesus has walked away from America’s advocacy of LGBTQ perversion…Marxists-Socialists have been victorious…this is Biblical eschatological fruition.

Hebrew Roots fanaticism and the New Covenant

Hebrew Roots fanaticism and the New Covenant…

Elohim is not honored by Torah observance in the New Covenant but by faith in Jesus as one’s Messiah (John 6:29). Jesus entered the Realm of Time under Law…He came to those under Law to proselytize them in the Gospel of Grace as per a New Covenant based on faith, not codified laws, not Torah (Galatians 4:4-5).

If you desire to devote your time and efforts to a bygone covenant or the elements of that covenant, that is your business and there is absolutely nothing “wrong” with Hebrew Roots motives as long as you’re fully aware that it is by faith, not works of the law, that one establishes New Covenant promises with the Father and receives eternal life through the forgiveness of sin via the shed blood of Jesus at Golgotha; this, by faith in Jesus as your Messiah, NOT Torah observance (Galatians 2:16; Romans 3:2-21).

Torah Law and the New Covenant

Torah Law and the New Covenant…

The Spiritual Law (Romans 2:14-15; Romans 8:2) has been written upon the human heart subsequent Day-6 as Human Kind is created in the spiritual image of Elohim (Genesis 1:26-28) possessing certain divine communicable attributes of Elohim, one such attribute being the Spiritual Law which acts as a bulwark against unrestrained narcissism that would culminate in societal implosion.

Torah Law is but a fragmented, segmented, portion of the comprehensive Spiritual Law and Torah Law was given specifically to Israel for sanctification and eschatological purposes concerning thwarting Israel’s compromise with Baal and Molech which would have negated their eschatological purpose concerning the Messiah, the Gospel, the Great Commission, going forward.

Torah is a bygone covenant of no true relevance in the New Covenant (Hebrews 8:7); with that said, Torah does offers me historical and eschatological knowledge that is very profitable in my walk with the Holy Spirit but other than that, Torah demonstrates through Israel’s failures what NOT TO DO concerning the establishment of righteousness with Elohim (Romans 9-10).

Subjugating the flesh, Adam’s sin nature,

The Christian walks by the Spirit (Galatians 5:16) and the flesh is brought under control through obedience to the Spirit and the production of divine fruit (Galatians 5:2-23), NOT TORAH LAW!

Torah Law v. Spiritual Fruit? What is relevant in the New Covenant concerning law and obedience?

Torah Law v. Spiritual Fruit? What is relevant in the New Covenant concerning law and obedience?

Jesus preached “fruit” (Matthew 7:15-20; John 15) as obedience to His commandments and Jesus told us that the Father is honored by the fruit produced through the Spirit via those who love Him and have trusted in Him for salvation by faith (John 15:8). Jesus said that those who produce much fruit honor the Father and this fruit honors all commandments, both those of His New Covenant Ministry and those etched in stone on Sinai.

Jesus said,

8 By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. 9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. 10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. 11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.

16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. 17 These things I command you, so that you will love one another. John 15 (ESV)

Concerning Divine Fruit as the fulfillment of “law” in the New Covenant,

When one is born again by faith in Jesus (John 3), they receive the indwelling Holy Spirit via New Covenant promise (Ezekiel 36:27) as the Holy Spirit is the Guarantor and Seal of New Covenant relationship with the Father (Ephesians 1:13-14; 4:30) .

It is the indwelling Holy Spirit, during daily sanctification in the New Covenant (Galatians 5:16), that employs the spiritual law written upon the human heart (Romans 2:14-15; Hebrews 10:16; 2 Corinthians 3:3; Jeremiah 31:33; Ezekiel 11:19) and mates that spiritual law with the redeemed conscience of the “new creation” in Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17) and the Spirit produces divine fruit through the faithful in Jesus and this fruit fulfills all law, codified/Sinai and Spiritual (Galatians 5:16:23).

This New Covenant promise has NOTHING to do with Torah or Torah Law other than the fulfillment of New Covenant eschatology expressed through the prophets Jeremiah and Ezekiel and the fulfillment of all the Levitical blood sacrifices foreshadowed, but the spiritual law, the new creation (redeemed conscience), the Spirit producing divine fruit through the redeemed, are unique divine elements of the New Covenant and the Gospel of Grace actuated by faith in Jesus as Messiah and the blood He shed as atonement for our sin on Mount Golgotha (Matthew 26:28). The New Covenant’s fruit is NOT a reiteration of the Old Covenant’s Torah (2 Corinthians 3).
