-Ephesians
2:5 What's this really saying? And, what's it mean."dead
in sins"?
It is saying that if Christ's
nature
of love is in us, we are no longer in sin, no longer missing the mark
by being in that thinking of negativity and now part of the
love frequency.
And."dead
in sins".is explained
where the verse is.
-Ephesians
4:8 Captivity captive?
The captivity that Emmanuel
led captive refers to
2Timothy 2:26;
Hebrews
2:14,15.
Emmanuel captured the things
which held us captive to the ordinary consciousness level; the things which
disallowed us obtaining and progressing in a relationship
with His and our Father.
Just as the burdens today
which we seek relief of, so also it was in ancient times:.Isaiah
46:1,2; Haggai 1:6. The devil
has many tricks to take us a step further
down at a time.
Christ's work is us:.Ephesians
2:10. He is leading captivity captive, as day by day we move further
away from
the ways of the world.
-Ephesians
5:6 How does one ensure that."no
one deceives.(or,
guiles).him"?
This verse cautions us to
be aware of 'vain' words.(how?),
which are words that lead nowhere and really do nothing for you regarding
a relationship with God and a special reward
from Him.
-Does it not say here in.Ephesians
6:1-4 "Children, obey your parents in the Lord.....".and
in 1John 2:3,4 that we are to keep
His commandments?
The key is, why do we do
things. What is in the mind when we act?
Though now abolished
along with the ancient Mosaic
Law that was a requirement way back then that came with penalties for
noncompliance,
the commandments are still great guidelines
to follow. because, having been designed by the one and only true God
of all good creations, they carry important spiritual connotations.
This
particular
one of them about honoring one's father and mother has a great promise
with it too. But this does not imply
the commandments were not abolished? As a means of producing righteousness,
keeping the commandments, which was the cornerstone component
of the the ancient Mosaic Law, couldn't
reproduce the necessary spiritual character in people which entrained
eternal life. This was because the people did
not have the heart necessary for spiritual living in the physical and
beyond. The operating frequency of one just couldn't be harmonious with
the other.
Something more was needed
and this was provided in Christ.(Hebrews
7:19).who
came to reveal the Father.(John
6:46).and
the Father was love:.1John
4:6-17.
Creator-God doesn't do away
with that which is ultimately good. In its intended application, the
commandments and the rest of the Mosaic Law
God designed for back then, produced death, as
explained.
The application of the
commandments as a prerequisite
to the Creator's approval of you is abolished. Now it's Christ. These Old
Testament commandments and the Mosaic Law that went with them had to do
with the righteousness of the people. Now, in the New Testament era,
it's the righteousness of Christ in an individual and this given
as a gift that enables us to grow in the high consciousness character
of the Creator-Father. And, what does this produce in us?.Galatians
5:14. Without this, what good is anyone for eternity?.Matthew
19:16,21,22. Or, even for this life for
that matter? Without God he or she loses the
all important guidance needed for living a life devoid
of heartache
and anguish.
The devoted
application of the commandments as guidelines for living should be utilized.
And with the commandment.(instruction).in
the question here, a blessing is attached to it. Just because something
is no longer required does not necessarily mean that it is no longer advantageous
in its utilization.
The Infinite One is the Father
of spirits:.Hebrews
12:9; 1John 2:16.(lust
here means desires; the normal fleshly things we all have desires for);
Hebrews
9:13,14. We are in the spirit,
serving
God in the spirit if Christ
is in us and no longer subject to a carnal
code designed for a carnal
people.
We now live by the spiritual
discipline
of a higher
form of righteousness, love, which is far higher
than the 'righteousness' of the Mosaic Law that, though accepted by the
people.(Exodus
24:3), was not of the heart:.Deuteronomy
5:29.
"People think I'm disciplined.
It is not discipline. It is devotion.
There is a great difference."....Luciano
Pavarotti.
Compassion
and concern for others makes it easier to discipline ourselves to seek
only the highest and best for others, thus weakening and making it easier
to move away from the darker
side of our human
nature. Christ is the way
out of the darkness and the way to the
light.
With
this
approach hardened criminals have become rehabilitated. Criminals at
heart need to be removed from society in order for them to be away from
what has caused and perpetuates
them to be as they are.
It takes discipline to develop
the character God exhibits.(Philippians
2:5,6).when
things are going good. This provides a greater opportunity to develop character,
than when you have no other choice than to conform.
Time alone heals everything and when one seeks higher
consciousness the healing or help gained is maintained.
On 1John
2:3,4.
-1Thessalonians
4:15-18 Is this about the so-called
rapture?
The word 'rapture' means,
in the dictionary, 'a carrying away in the body or spirit':.Hebrews
11:5 "By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death and
was not found, because God had translated him, because before his translation
he had this testimony, that he pleased God." Revelation
12:14 "And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that
she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished
for a time and times and half a time, from the face of the serpent."
The.word.'rapture'
does not occur in the Bible, but events are leading up the
new
Earth for those of good
hearts. gene
Decode brings us up to date on it.
It will be a clean kingdom:.Revelation
21:27. It looks as if it will be on this Earth, with the Earth
alongside.(pic).used
for placing the ever so many criminals today being arrested and tried in
tribunals;
or it could be the other way around where they stay and we go. gene
Decode explains:.1,
2.
The verses say they'll be
caught up together with Christ.(1Thessalonians
4:17), meeting Him in the clouds,
when He returns
to this Earth in similar.fashion
as He left.(Acts
1:9,11), talking
about back there in 70
A.D. And those then would forever be with Him:.Matthew
26:64; Revelation 1:7.
Has this occurred yet? Emmanuel
did talk of His return?.John
14:3; 17:24;
2Corinthians
5:8.
Paul knew that the next thing
he would know when he died.(and
he did die) was that
he
would awake and be in the spiritual realm
with Emmanuel the Christ:.Philippians
1:23.
There is no scripture for
the rapture theory, a supposed time before a supposed yet to occur 7 year
great
tribulation, a great tribulation which in fact fully happened in Emmanuel's
time with the destruction of Jerusalem in 70
A.D. by Roman armies under General Titus, causing 1,100,000 to be killed
and 97,000 taken captive. At that time this was a great tribulation and
so it would be a great tribulation at any time something such as this might
occur. In the so-called modern ages it has been even worse 1)
2)
3).
The great tribulation started with the cabal centuries ago andencompasses
the covid con plan to
destroy humanity.
According to the rapture
theory, good folks will be changed to spirit and rise up out of their cars,
trucks, homes, what have you; the cars perhaps then crashing into and maybe
killing some little old lady on the corner as it veers
off with no driver? Would God and His millions
of angels not been able to make it a peaceful transition if this so-called
raputre was to be so? Of
course. But if we're to be taken away from the evil to come.(Isaiah
57:1),.perhaps.it
will be like this:.Revelation
4:1.
Was the tribulation in
70 A.D. only a smaller type
of a similar,
a maybe worse one, still to come? The evil madness of the world increases
today and will continue until it's changed. How?
And in the 'how' we see our part in bringing this kingdom of the Creator,
this, at present, invisible kingdom,
to the benefit of everyone, even those
who are at present engulfed
in evil purposes.
Will the 'special' people
of love get 'spirited away' or do they now live, move and have their being,
in their spirit.(Acts
17:28-31), as this is
where the kingdom of God is? The bad folks having made it through this
supposed horrible 'beginning of the end' rapture time of judgment yet to
come, are to further suffer the demonic philosophy, that of further
punishment in 'hell' forever. The concocted
rapture theory is rife
with errors because of the timelines that we can choose.
The Jesuit
priest Lacunza wrote that Emmanuel must return twice, not once. This secret
coming became foundation for the rapture theory, a supposed time when the
saints would escape a suppositious.coming
tribulation and antichrist. It
was not a part of the."faith
once delivered unto the saints":.Jude
1:3 "Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the
common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you and exhort
you that you should earnestly.contend
for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints." 1Timothy
4:1.
From.Unmasking
Pre-Trib Fallacies.(c)
1998, by Larry Simmons (icnet.net/users/lsimmons/webpage.htm)."Pre-tribbers.(pre-tribulation
believers).consider
the status of one particular group mentioned in the Bible. Despite
terrible persecution, they."keep
the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Emmanuel" ...Revelation
12:17.
"Most would reasonably assume
these are members of Christ's body, the church. That conclusion however,
would present a huge problem for pre-Tribulationists, because they hold
the church was raptured in Revelation
4:1. But this group is not mentioned until Chapter
12."
From.What
Happened In 70 A.D?.by
Edward E. Stevens.
-James
1:16 What does this scripture mean?
The word 'err' in the original
is 'deceive, seduce, to cause to stray, to lead astray, lead aside from
the right way'. Paul is saying not to be deceived regarding where all good
things come from and that is God, as verse 17 shows. In other words; do
not get so involved in the physical life in pursuing your goals when God
can cause them to easily
come to you.
-Hebrews
6:6 the."unpardonable
sin"?
What
about it? And what about this
one too?
-Hebrews
11:35 This makes no sense to me because it says some were resurrected
and others died, as in the case of most of the original disciples of Emmanuel?
What's going on? It works sometimes and not at other times?
The seeming.dilemma
carries on down to verse 38 as
well.
First of all, note that some
were resurrected. It was this sure fact of resurrection that removed the
fear of death from others who went through severe trials here, such as
so many also which have been listed in the classic book Fox's
Book of Martyrs, that you can have free.
The sure fact of resurrection
gave those people way back then, great faith to leave their troublesome
low consciousness behind them and move toward God's
consciousness and the reward that overcoming
the lower for the higher brings. Why would one fear death when he was
sure he would be resurrected. Even today,
this is the case. One way to be sure:.2Timothy
1:9; 2Corinthians 3:3.
Why some die and some carry
on living for eternity is handled in the subject on death.
