Sacrifice is the
giving up of something in order that another gains something. In the Old
Testament
they were part
of the old covenant or agreement the people made with God. The sacrifices
of ancient times were replaced by the gift of Christ, who brought to
the fore the law of love:.Matthew
22:36-40. The Mosaic Law although based
on love, included many retributions.
Christ was the ultimate
deserve retribution for any and all our negative doings, having replaced
them with his
righteousness.
A gift is an offering of
something you want another to have. The death of the One we call Emmanuel
was a gift, not a sacrifice in the
sense of the word we comprehend
sacrifice to be today:.Romans
5:15; Hebrews 10:4-8,11.
The sacrifices were added
long after.(Jeremiah
7:22).the
ancient Israelites came out of
Egypt.
Just as the
sacrifices
under the old covenant could not make one perfect, so it is with the
new covenant. What physical things can you possibly give God that would
gain His favor? Nothing! The Creator looks
on the heart caring that we grow in high
consciousness ways; what we are here on Earth for, a factory for producing
beings with the loving nature of the Creator as exemplified
by the One who became what is called Christ: Matthew
9:13 "But go you and learn what that means, I will have mercy and not
sacrifice, for I am not come to call the righteous.(those
who feel they are fine just the way they are with all their selfishness
and greed efforts), but sinners.(those
who realize a change is necessary).to
repentance.(change)."
Sacrificing
your beginnings in Christ's nature of love to adhere
to a law that was abolished, is not pleasing
to God and hurts you too:.Galatians
3:1-3.
Christ is the physical individual
of He whom we call Emmanuel, allowed what He had before He came to humanity
in this physical world, to be given up, knowing He would get it again:.John
10:18; John 17:5.
Christ has already defeated
all sin for all time:.Hebrews
9:26 "For then must He often have suffered since the foundation of
the world. But now once in the end
of the world has He appeared to put away.(original
is 'disable').sin.(or,
looking at it another way; enabling us to now hit the mark and stop
missing it when it comes to the art of love).by
the sacrifice of himself."
The blood of Emmanuel enabled
reconciliation
with the Father: Hebrews
13:12 "Wherefore Emmanuel also, that he might sanctify the people with
his own blood, suffered without the gate."
The sacrifices for us today
are spiritual sacrifices:.1Peter
2:5. Being thankful.(praise).that
the Creator now sees us as holy
is one of them.(Hebrews
13:15; Romans 12:1).and
being
concerned about others and the spiritual things of the Creator is another:.Hebrews
13:1,2; Hebrews 13:16;
1John
4:20; James 2:15-18; Mark
12:33.
The Creator the Father knows
it, Christ knows it, John knew it,
Paul
knew it.(Romans
6:11), but some spiritual people
are not aware that sin no longer counts.
They
still require things apart from the motivation of love to regulate
them. They lack comprehending
just how all encompassing
love really is. When one loves, he becomes pure in heart as love covers
sin:.James
5:20; 1Peter 4:8; Proverbs
10:12.
Love has nothing to do with
the 'normal' ordinary consciousness human nature ego
reactions one feels inside; feels inside to the degree of conditioning
one has yet to move on from. How?
The fire that was in the
early New Testament Christians.(Acts
19:20,23;
1:14;
2:41-47;
4:24,31,33;
5:12;
6:7,8;
8:6-8;
11:21;
14:1;
15:3;
17:3,4).was
in them because something made them hot
for God.
They focused on Emmanuel
in them.(Philippians
3:7-15), not on eradicating sin,
which has the ultimate effect of splitting you from Creator-God in your
mind, which has the same effect as though you actually were split from
God:.Hebrews
13:5 "...he has said,
I will never leave you, nor forsake you.".In
addition to this, they were excited about their
work in preparing for Christ's return.
'Fighting sin'.(when
Christ has already taken it away:.Hebrews
10:12).is
an ego
inspired.(1Timothy
4:1).deadly
diversion.(a
turning aside; distraction of attention).
The ego inspired by the
collective dark side is cunning in how it gets people to stay on its
track of fighting to eradicate
sin, but if one is in the mass mind, what chance has he to even know what
is happening?
This 'fighting' of that
which you already have victory
over.(1Corinthians
15:57).causes
one to fall from
grace, not become a strong warrior:.Ephesians
6:12; 2Timothy 2:1; 1Corinthians
16:13.
Those engaged in such fighting
fail to appreciate what has already been done.(Hebrews
10:29), as it takes the mind and
thus, the heart, soon after.(why
soon after?), takes them off the conscience.(awareness,
consciousness, what one has
been able to set to think, to accept, to believe).of
the nature of love Christ came to make possible in them.(Galatians
5:4).and
gets it on "fighting sin", fighting sin where there is no
longer any fight for anyone.
It's an evil trick to work
at convincing others of the need to get something they already have and
are unaware that they have. All that was needed is to awaken them to the
awareness of that which was true, the awareness of that which is already
ours:.1,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6,
7.
But it is a subtle
doctrine and one sounding reasonable
and acceptable.(a
devilish trick).if
a person is lacking effective information to the contrary,
because all true spiritual persons
want to be in alignment with God.
It is just that some have been duped
into believing that they are not in a pure state
as yet. This type of thinking effectively kicks out the window all Christ
came here to accomplish for the benefit of humanity.
Romans
4:15 ".....for where no law is, there is no transgression.(Romans
3:20)."
Romans
5:13 ".....sin is not
imputed when there is no law."
2Corinthians
5:19 "To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself,.not
imputing their trespasses unto them.and
has committed unto us the word of reconciliation."
That is why, long before
the
Mosaic Law, there was sin; Adam sinned from the beginning:.Romans
5:14 "Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them
that had not sinned after the similitude.(likeness).of
Adam's
transgression, who is the figure.(example).of
him.(Emmanuel).that
was to come.".The
'figure', in this sense:.Romans
5:15-19.
What was the ancient Mosaic
Law for?.Hebrews
10:1 "For the law having a shadow of good things to come and not the
very image of the things, can never with
those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the
comers thereunto perfect.".It's
saying that doing the things of a law won't produce perfection because
perfection is of the spirit; you've heard of the letter of the law and
the spirit of the matter;
example:.Matthew
12:1-12.
Romans
3:20 ".....by the law is the knowledge of sin.".And
there is now no law of sin and death for those in Christ:.Romans
8:2; Galatians 1:4. And
for
those not yet Christian? Well then, what
does apply today?
All the laws that brought
sin
and death,.have
been abolished. So, if one today has guilt,
he or she is into rules regulating the spirit in such a way as to make
one feel he is 'on the outs' with God.
That is why John felt the
need to say in
his own way that sin no longer counts.
The flesh no longer enters
into things as far as how God looks at us:.Romans
8:10. So, why do we look at ourselves differently than God does? Insane?
Unsane? Sane?
Once one accepts
the nature of love Emmanuel the Christ made possible to be inside us,
he is no longer 'in the flesh', spiritually speaking:.Romans
8:2. One now believes
for all things that available to get what he needs and wants from life.
We can never be separated
from the Creator by any deeds of the flesh.(Romans
1:29-31;
Galatians 5:19-21;
Hebrews
13:5 "...for he has said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you.".It's
the things of the spirit that please us and please God, because they do
us good.(how?).and
are good for us in God's plan for humanity:.3John
1:2.
Creator-God is not happy
when we are hurting ourselves. When we are joined to Him by our
spirit's connection with the
Soul, we are growing, yet may still have much to
move away from regarding fleshly existence with those negatives.tending
to impede us
in growing spiritually toward a reward.
The goal.(Philippians
3:14).is
to be of the same
consciousness the Creator is.
So, why
is there separation from the Creator
if not from deeds, if not from the bad things we all have done?
If consumed by fleshly concerns
and/or involved in confusing religious doctrines, we have yet to be purified
so our Creator.(the
Creator is his consciousness, just as we too, are what we think and what
we think, we become).can
be fully activated in our hearts.(a
higher
consciousness than the one we have been using):.Philippians
4:19; 1:19; Ephesians
3:19.
The things of the flesh no
longer count, all having been taken care of for all time in Emmanuel the
Christ, but this is not true for some, as evidenced by their over
concern with fleshly things.
Though God is the
Creator of flesh, God is also the Father of spirits and not
the Father of the flesh. That means if you are not yet of the spiritual
you have no spiritual father, only a human fleshly father:.Hebrews
12:9 "Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected
us and we gave them reverence, shall we not much rather be in subjection.(means
to be subject to {in alignment with}
the love nature of the Great Infinite One).unto
the Father of spirits
and live.(whereas
if we follow the ways of the ordinary low consciousness lifestyle, that
will suck us in deeper on down the different path than the way of high
consciousness of God)?"
Romans
8:9.
The mistake many spiritual
mean and women have made is that they haven't yet moved to a spiritual
state and away from their fleshy deeds. And this because of focusing
on themselves instead of equating
the true nature of love in them with their Creator. Trying to deal with
spiritual concerns with outcrops
of Old Testament laws is futile:.Galatians
3:13. Or, people
may feel guilty. This is
not
serving God in
the spirit, but is leading them toward that:.Galatians
3:3;
5:25;
Ephesians
4:23.
Being 'in sin' is part of
an unbelieving state of mind.(John
16:9 "Of sin, because they believe not on me.").for
those still under the curse of the law. Notice here too that the opposite
implication of this verse is that in Him is no sin and no sin in you if
He be in you:.1John
3:5 "And you know that he was manifested to take away our sins and
in him is no sin."
