-I still don't completely
comprehend
Hebrews 9:15
and Hebrews 8:6 about the mediator.
It means He is now here to
save us:.1Timothy
2:5 "For there is one God and one mediator
between God and men, the man Christ Emmanuel.".This
applies to whomever and at whatever time one wants to be 'saved'.(*),
which is awakening
to the reality of God the Father, that is, one now comprehending that
he or she was in that state of existence since created:.2Timothy
1:9.
Saved from what? He came
once and one of the reasons He did was to awaken humanity to his
or her having been saved.
John
14:9.
Now He is here awakening
those
who listen, from thinking that the sins we think we still may
be under.(*),
could be allowing our conscience to be defiled.(Hebrews
9:9).and
our hearts to be feeling guilty:.1John
3:20,21. Feeling
unworthy on one's death bed can be such a burden.
Quiet
time alone with God is so important. It is then that specific
things just for you well up in your mind. This is the Infinite One improving
us:.Ephesians
2:10.
We have been redeemed.(Hebrews
9:12), but some were and still
are, into religion
and its dead works:.Hebrews
9:14.
Dead works are works based
upon actions no longer required;
these requirements, such as what's in the ancient Mosaic
Law are now defunct,
like today keeping the Mosaic Law or components
of it when it is no
longer a part of the Creator's plan. Religion keeps shoving Christ
away by their doctrines, their requirements:.Colossians
2:22; 1Timothy 4:1.
Christ is doing things with
those of belief in the new covenant.(Hebrews
9:15), so we can all receive an
eternal inheritance. It's not a matter that Emmanuel died for sins to cleanse
humanity; that's what He did. But, what about you?
What is it that saves you?
Is it what Emmanuel did, meaning His death and resurrection? Is it God's
purpose or plan involving us that keeps us saved? Would the do's and don'ts
of religion be involved in our saving? What
about all these things?
-1John
3:6 seems to be telling us that if we are Christians, born
of God, that we don't sin. I know that's not true, as I love God but
still sin. And verse 9 there scares
me.
It is talking about how God
looks at you now that you believe in Emmanuel the Christ, making you born
of God:.1John
5:1.
If you are born of God, you
cannot commit sin by thoughts and actions. Because now you cannot do anything
by God's standard that He would call sin against you. You see, it's what
God's done and is doing that matters. Not what you have done, are doing
or may do.
Your reward in salvation,
meaning
in the kingdom, involves performance based
on works of love and not performance based on fear of retribution.(Romans
8:15).or
works
of your own choosing.(see
the question directly above on Hebrews 9:15).to
be pleasing to God.
The standard for fearful
retribution has been replaced by oneness with Christ. In other words; your
works of love from the heart gain you something and your lack of these
works do not qualify you for any kind of punishment, but may get
you a lesser reward in salvation.(the
Kingdom).'may',
because everyone's life has different circumstances, different presssures,
different abilities and necessary time available for developing spiritually
and all these are taken into consideration at reward time. Basing
one's life on the example of Christ while on Earth expressing in the physical
body of Emmanuel is the way to
go.
The power of the loving nature
of the Great Infinite One, called the Holy Spirit
in the Bible, will now flow through you.(it's
a
supply), as you now decide to keep
in touch with Christ's
loving nature in you and be loving in all your
actions:.1John
4:7.
No murderer.(hate
is equal to murder).has
eternal life because, if Christ is in you, you have
awakened to that and you are loving toward others and would
never hurt others in any way:.1John
3:15.
"A noble
individual thinks about duty.(Matthew
22:36-40). Others with low-level
thoughts think about profit."....Bruno
Gröning. Consider the example of
Esau and Jacob.
1John
3:10,11 says that this is the difference between the children
of the Infinite One and the
children of disobedience.
Why we have a dark side is
because...
The difference to monitor
in yourself is, are your thoughts and feelings in any way of an evil,
hurtful, selfish and
destructive nature
or of the nature of love. In
other words, do you care
for others?.Isaiah
1:16,17; Romans 13:10; Hebrews
10:29. An
example.
Another:.Acts
13:10.
If you are a lazy
intellectual loafer or have allowed others to deceive
you, often because of insecurities
you may have felt, be alert so it doesn't happen again..Fool
me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.".A
deceived individual believes he hasn't been:.Proverbs
14:12. Being deceived is a character weakness prevalent
in those influenced
by the dark side, also called the cabal.
Accepting easily what may be present at the time by avoiding to ask pertinent
questions, shows the need to wake up to what's
going on. Never blindly trust anyone. Find out what they are like first.
If people had done that instead of jumping on the covid bandwagon by trusting
authorities, then many more would be alive today. When people do their
best, God will remove the evil ones.
You choose which
side you want to be on. And because of the
tricks of the dark side, one needs
alertness.
The two sides: One is spiritual
and one residual,
that is, the non spiritual side is the default
side of humanity without God. They both have their power; the power
of light and the power
of the dark side. These two can be us
at different times. Our job is to bring light
to the dark side, thus,
dissipating
the darkness in us and consequently
the world too. And what
good does that do? One does this with his
thoughts and feelings of love for others, others,
many of whom may be lost in the dark.
It will change the world
as all is connected.
Meditation,
contemplation, prayer, study, etc. are keys to this.
The dark side is there to
reveal to us that its
ways are hurtful to us and to others, if we are bright enough to see
it. Dishonest hurtful acts on
our part, play into the dark side frequencies we call evil.
These happen when one is
not loving to another, bringing into play automatic multiversal laws of
reap
and sow. The dark side's job is to con you into things that'll take
you down.
But how else would one ever
learn what is ultimately
useless without their influencing? humanity would not come to see a better
way was needed without seeing flawsin
the present manner
of relating to others and by seeing that an available optionwas
ready.(Hebrews
7:19),
an option that draws us into the higher consciousness of God, thus dissipating
the influences of the dark side.
Being spiritual is living
in the present. Being residual is allowing one's ego to predominate,
where it deals in the past and worries over the future and always is focusing
attention on your negatives, which includes selfishness, the how to get
more for me attitude,
so, look
at them and see why they are still there and learn how
to dissipate them:.Proverbs
19:27 "Cease my son to hear the instruction that causes to err from
the words of knowledge."
At the level
of spirit everything is always unfolding perfectly. You don't have
to struggle or force situations to go your way. Here's how
it works and here's how
to get into alignment with it.
You don't
have to have a rigid
attachment to any outcome. After all, what's the worse case scenario?
What if none of what you looked for came? Imagine that! You would relax
about it all then. In other words, be process oriented
not outcome oriented and you'll enjoy the journey.
Know also, that all works
out in your favor.(Romans
8:28).if
you are of love:.Romans
13:10. When you try to make things go your way it causes stress,
because you are trying to steer
the river. Stress can be effectively managed with new
perspectives.
There really is no dark or
light side, no duality, no separation,
in the true reality, it's all
how it's looked at from the physical level of existence. In higher consciousness
there are no opposites. Opposites are for learning things in this human
experience.
From where any particular
one of is in our individuality is how life is for him or her. How one is
contributes to and draws out of the
mass mind of humanity, wherein is both some things of light and darkness.
The greater is the higher consciousness on Earth, the greater is its affect
on the mass consciousness for good.
Our
egos have tricked us, as it were, into the mundaneness
of the daily dark side life as we seek protection from all the threats
we perceive.
It's of the dark side, the
ego side, to use, abuse, manipulate,
calculate and execute selfish advantage, stepping on or over others in
its quest to get noticed, to get
more and to get to be greater than others. Ego tricks include using things
appearing good to others in order to gain for selfish reasons. This is
called
hypocrisy. A person run
by his ego side, will lie, cheat, steal, misrepresent, provide false witness
and so on, all to get what it thinks it must have or to protect what it
thinks it has gained.(Psalms
10:7-10); but whatever seems gained,
it's
never satisfying enough for the selfishness of man. Man must learn
to fix his life.
These are non nourishing
behaviors straining and eventually breaking relationships. A higher
consciousness is needed:.Romans
13:10.
The children of the devil.(called
'children of disobedience' and meaning children of unbelief in
Ephesians
2:2; 5:6; Colossians
3:6).live
on the dark side, a side that
is above all else, selfish and negative
toward others and has motivation
of exhibiting the 'me best, screw you' attitude
by arrogantly
carrying around a self-centered
way that always leads
to destruction and loss
for self, which affects others because we are all
connected.
Dark
side influences within the mass
mind find affinity
in susceptible
persons. These are those who are wasting away from sadness, longing,
grief and guilt over a past perceived
as having no effective positive features. This takes one out of the all
important present, thus,
missing this life lesson.
Such a self-censuring
approach wipes out dreams that previously were hopeful and puts one's heart
in his shoe. It is the opposite of what is called faith:.Hebrews
11:1 "Now faith is the substance of things
hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
Thought always precedes
action, so if alert, we don't make the same mistakes again.
It's normal for those pumped
by the dark side to be convinced.(deluded).they
are correct:.Proverbs
14:12. They know not the way of love that has positive benefits for
all, because they have been deceived by the master deceiver:.John
8:44; Revelation 12:9.
From the natural way of life
people of the world have grown up with, they often end up engaged in enterprising
endeavors to bring to the world ways they feel must be for others. However,
doing this without first consulting those to be affected, is arrogant.
On most altruistic
pathways lies the dust of arrogance.
Such is the way of totalitarian
thinking. Such are they who are consumed with walking in the vanity
of their minds, self-styled elitists.imposing
selfish demonically inspired standards.(1Timothy
4:1,2).upon
those they deem
too far removed to notice and of course, believing that their way is the
only right way for all:.Ephesians
4:17-19.
Their ideas, their 'new light'
often sows the wind:.Hosea
8:7. It was the same since the beginning.(Genesis
3:6).of
man on Earth. Unfortunately children today grow up much the same, where
disobedience is their mother and the devil and his crew
influencing
their minds, their father:.Acts
26:18. And such are those who unknowingly are playing perfectly into
the hands of the dark side:.2Timothy
2:26.
The dark side's influence
has one purpose; to destroy humanity. Why? Because humanity is destined
to rule over all angels.(1Corinthians
6:3; Jude 1:6),
even the angels of the dark side, called demons,
so take effort now to align
with the All Good and get a reward.
Ephesians
2:2 talks of a spirit of deceit.
All negative attitudes are definitive
influence by the dark side, acting in accordance with one's mental window
revealing something to the sight from the land of evil.
The way of evil means that
in some way, a person has an attitude of hurting another and this is always
based on selfishness. These evil attitudes work within those who do not
believe a supreme extremely intelligent infinite personality is responsible
for all good. And they don't believe this for one reason or the other.
Mostly, they are non-thinkers and have simply taken the way that would
provide them as much as possible for indulging
the concerns of self.
These are most often the
ones who have an opinion that they have not formed, but rather have just
accepted as true what comes from others, allowing themselves time to ingratiate
their real interests.
You know the old advertising
ways; tell it often enough and especially with some authority and people
will swallow it eventually. Such is how the unintelligent form many beliefs.
A good example of those refusing
to be bamboozled:.Acts
17:11.
The children
of the devil either feel they are in sin.(legalistic
religion, usually devoid of any intuition regarding the spirit of the matter,
being legally correct, but circumventing
spiritual
principles).or
are
primarily
self concerned and are uncaring regarding spiritual concerns, just
not interested in moving
from the dark side of their natures:.John
3:19,20.
And where can one ever really
place his darker side where it will not be discovered?.Job
34:22;
1Corinthians
4:5; Hebrews 4:13;.Luke
12:2,3 "For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither
hid, that shall not be known. Therefore whatsoever you have spoken in darkness
shall be heard in the light and that which you have spoken in the ear in
closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.".These
people will be judged according to their works:.2Corinthians
11:14,15. How much better to be a person of spirituality who acts out
of love in his or her heart, whose end
is according to His already finished works.
The children of
the devil are often deceived into bringing what
at first appears as new light, new hope, an attractive life for you.
The children of the devil are desirous of gain for selfish reasons:.Jude
1:16. They lack depth of caring about others, being instead single
mindedly selfish, programmed.(TV
programming).all
their life by their egos, which the Bible calls 'being in the world',
which is not really knowing anything better.
People override various soul
promptings daily because they don't recognize their importance as their
mind is attuned to the things of the self.
The
still small silent voice that urges them on to better
things is muted
by the loud incessant
demands of the self. This is really not their fault as it has mostly
been by default and by lack of knowing what those soul promptings were
which would take one away
from the inherently.destructive
ego level of living. So, we live our lives, find out the results as
we go and hopefully turn them around as Derek
finally did.
This is the course or, the
way of the world:.Ephesians
2:2,3; 1John 5:19; John
8:44; 2Corinthians 4:4;
Galatians
4:8. This is why so many people just are the way
they are.
The children of the Creator.(Ephesians
4:14; Romans 8:16; Galatians
4:19; 1John 3:18; 1John
5:2; Acts 17:29).are
desirous of others to have the advantage:.Philippians
2:3. So different from the course of the world today, especially
evident in business.
And what was your attitude
when they read the will?
The children of the Creator
know their true identity, being
in Christ and thereby acceptable to the Father:.Ephesians
1:6 "To the praise.of
the glory of his grace, wherein he has made us.(how?).accepted
in the beloved.(accepted
into God's love {1John 4:8,16},
God's plan, God's
family)."
The main difference between
the children of God and the rest of humanity, is that the devil cannot
come and go in the children of God. You are left just as you are with
your real self and sometimes that ain't so great either eh? Ha ha!
