Again,.Hebrews
5:12,13 "For when for the time you ought to be teachers, you have need
that one teach you again.(obviously
they had not moved forward to maturity and were not strong spiritually).which
be the first principles.(he
explains these here in.Hebrews
6:1,2).of
the oracles.(oracles
are the words of the Creator).of
God and are become such as have need of milk and not of strong meat.(food
that requires chewing as compared to mother's milk that a baby needs).
For every one that uses milk is unskillful.(original
Greek is 'has no experience').in
the word of righteousness.(note
that the strong meat or more correctly, food, refers to the
word of righteousness), for he
is a babe.
When you know
better, you do better. Part of life is knowing how to act toward others
in various situations. For
example...
Hebrews
5:14 But strong meat belongs to them that are of full age, even those
who by reason of use have their senses
exercised to discern between good and evil.
Learn to discern. When you
meet someone and/or are considering anything to come into your life, ask
yourself, 'is there any light' there'? Is there
goodness, kindness, compassion and helpfulness there? Or, does it or will
it put another at some disadvantage?
Original
Greek for this phrase is 'thoroughly analyze as to the end result of
each course of action that may be important for consideration', that is,
concerning your character.
Example,.you,
as thoroughly as you can, analyze what drugs or whatever other negatives
you know about and/or those you come across and see the results of those
ways in the lives of others and then make a decision based on what you
now know, that you will or will not use drugs,
alcohol,
drive without respect for others, consume genetically modified crap 'frankenfood'
sprayed with harmful 'cides',
vaccinations,
etc. or to what degree that you will. Learn from the life you
are living and observe others;
learn!.Ecclesiastes
1:13; Isaiah 41:23.
Hebrews
5:14 But strong meat belongs to them that are of full age.("of
full age" means mature
ones; original Greek is 'in a habit of perfection' or, they know they are
perfect
in Creator's eyes and that, from before the multiverse was formed:.2Timothy
1:9), even those who by reason
of use have their senses exercised.(original
Greek means 'to base your judgments on what you experience in life':.Romans
14:22).to
discern.(original
is 'to separate', 'make a distinction',
'discriminate',
'to prefer',
'to learn by discrimination',
'to try', 'decide', 'determine', 'judge').between
good and evil.(original
Greek for this phrase is 'thoroughly analyze as to the end result of each
course of action that may be important for character
consideration, because there are many things of a bad nature out there').
That is,.depending
on how your parents taught you, you
may have to live the good and
live the bad to come to know which is which, if you are just not sure.
Live
the questions if you have to.(as
ancient king Solomon did that we can learn from:.Ecclesiastes
2:1-11), as we all are here
to learn, but have enough wisdom.(learnwhat
wisdom is).to
learn quickly and learning quickly can be done.
Don't sell yourself short;
see.The
Grand Self.movie
and go from there in learning
from others' lives.
Have wisdom to recognize
good character
traits,
so that your life will smooth out and go better for you. Best if you can
learn from mistakes of others so you don't make the same ones. You
do this by observing life and learning from books.(here's
one), talking with others, etc.
Bob
Proctor's 58 years of experience can help you here. Be sure to take
time to to meditate, because it's
where insight is automatically added
to you. Be wise, not foolish,
learn,
learn, learn.
Solomon finally learned and
here's what
his conclusions
were; but live.what
is you.(*).from
your heart and.learn,
learn, learn from your life,
because you do reap what
you sow. Things.(what
things?).are
counted for or against you.(*).
Learn from the life
of ancient Solomon. Be of higher consciousness than those who leave
off using the gift of imagination, the gift of being able to see mentally.
Use this gift with wisdom,
for it's better to imagine the results of your actions with wisdom than
to experience the results of them through the hard knocks of life. See
what you could be sowing. See the results of actions before you take action.
Think!
Life is for learning. Life
provides us with opportunities to make character adjustments. It will always
be like that, so make the adjustments and life is better. Some
major ones are.
Hebrews
6:1,2 Therefore.leaving.the
principles of the doctrine of Christ let us.go
on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance
from dead works.("Oh,
God, I've sinned again and am worthy of death were it not for Emmanuel.
Please forgive me, etc., etc.").and
of faith toward God.("Oh
yes, I believe in God", along with the millions of others out there who
also believe in God, whether they be Moslems,
Buddhist's or whatever; belief is one thing and taking action on one's
beliefs is quite another; but should any action be taken and if so, what?),
of the doctrine of baptisms.(notice
it is plural).and
of laying on of hands.(do
churches continue to practice this today? Yep. All the time. But it is
how it is done. In a semi-private quiet setting, putting hands upon a person
desiring to be prayed for, closing the eyes and praying in love for them
to help them in some way, is good. It is the frivolous
actions that focuses attention upon the hand layer that is a sham).and
of resurrection of the dead.(the
belief that the Creator is going to resurrect us away from all this, or
we are going to be raptured).and
of eternal judgment.(Creator
is going to put some in hell forever).".(all
these we should have by now moved from and into greater spirituality; the
things of the heart, the things of a higher
consciousness).More.
Paul is saying to aim to
grow up and leave all these 'baby', new believer things behind.
We must as spiritual persons
of love, live in such a manner as to determine.what.works,
that is, what works for us individually, what works for use at this particular
time in life for each of us as individuals, as the Creator.does
not want.a
bunch of church cloned people:.Ephesians
5:10 "Proving.(original
for 'proving' is, 'to test by doing, using; examine').what
is acceptable unto the Lord.".And,
just
what is 'the Lord'?
Some Christians still think
that we should 'live by all the words of Emmanuel':.Matthew
4:4. Perhaps they do not fully realize the importance of living with
the
faith of Emmanuel.
Words can only give you faith
if you know there is substance
to them; that is, if you know the Infinite indeed does
exist and you have also proved the words
He has had recorded to help us, words that we can use to make things happen
in the invisible realm
which come into the physical realm, like resurrecting
others as the disciples and Emmanuel have done.
You also know about He who
came out of the Father, came to Earth to make it possible for us to
be reestablished with the Great Infinite One, we commonly refer to
as God. Once you know these things, then you have some substance to the
words you know that you can use the
big three for.
You will then see that there
is great power behind them, great power to affect your daily physical life,
producing all that you want that is good for you and others. Words with
the spirit behind them provide for action, otherwise words only connote
a far off hope.
The words then move from
being just words, as they now have immense meaning to you. The 'just
words' have become a living faith,
a thing of the heart and the more so one's actions are based upon what
has been accepted true and being of substance, a substance to base one's
life on.
If you wanted to live
by Emmanuel words, you would be punctilious
in keeping all the Old
Testament law, all of it; you can't separate the ten
commandments from the rest of it. You would also have to forsake all
that you have. Is
this what it's talking about?
If we were to live by what
Emmanuel said, many of us wouldn't have any eyes, hands or feet:.Matthew
4:4; 18:8,9 and.Matthew
5:28,30 "But I say unto you, That whosoever looks on a woman to lust.(lust
is excessive desire that takes us away from good and flirts toward the
dark side).after
her has committed adultery with her already in his heart. And if thy right
eye offend thee pluck it out and cast it from thee. For it is profitable
for thee that one of thy members should perish and not that thy whole body
should be cast into hell. And if thy right hand
offend thee cut it off and cast it from thee. For it is profitable for
thee that one of thy members should perish and not that thy whole body
should be cast into hell."
The lesson here is to be
circumspect
in your living so you stay on the spiritual pathway leading to higher and
higher levels of consciousness:.John
14:12 "...the works that I do shall he do also and even greater works
than these shall he do..."
If we were to live by what
Emmanuel said, many of us wouldn't have any money either:.Luke
12:33 "Sell that you have and give alms.(donations
to the poor);.provide
yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that fails
not, where no thief approaches, neither moth corrupts.".If
we taught our children this and they followed it, they would all grow up,
have nothing and be on social assistance.
Let's get real and
find out what Emmanuel was really doing and meaning. In many places
Emmanuel was showing the utter hopelessness of trying to be right with
our Creator by keeping the law of the Old Testament which was still in
effect up to His physical death and resurrection.
He was showing why trials
and hardships or anything that would produce the ultimate benefit of
being in a
relationship with His Father, the Great Ever Living Infinite One, was
worth it.
In Luke 12:33.(just
above).He
was emphasizing the prize of the Kingdom of
God and that, in comparison to Earthly things like money, it is so
far above in importance that one should 'strain at the bit' doing
all one can at all costs.(but
of course, using wisdom in all things too; don't be an emotional nut case;
be wise; ask for wisdom).to
get as high a position in it as one can.
