Happy New Year to the New creation and its resolution

Gal 6:12-16
Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.

Not even those who are circumcised obey the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your flesh.

May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is a new creation .

Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule, even to the Israel of God.

NIV

Sin that is clearly understood to be common to man does not suggest that it's something that hasn't been practiced. sw

When the battle truly belongs to the Lord so too does the glory of victory. sw

There is a reason why righteousness is not considered commonly accepted among men. sw

Is silence alone truly a virtue or is it wisdom that has matured that causes a man to be timely in his silence. sw

Is the measurement of life to be Ruled by a ruler or measured by the Ruler whose also been made Lord. sw

Left feeling guilty is to suggest mercy left without further opportunity to find its way. sw

The thought of obtaining grace without first finding mercy is arrogance. sw

Saying what needs to be said in the moment is but a partial reflection of what is right in the end. sw

Passing the test of maturity is to gain the respect of the one that's testing to see if you've found the way to overcome an assumed common weakness. sw

Titus 3:3-11
At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures.

We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.


He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.

This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone. 

But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless.

Warn a divisive person once, and then warn him a second time. After that, have nothing to do with him.

You may be sure that such a man is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned. 

NIV

2 Cor 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation ; the old has gone, the new has come!

Prince of Peace and a Prophets reward

Believing everything happens for a reason is always a good place to begin in thought yet the danger is not knowing the sovereign Truth as if the heart of what matters. sw

Killing the messenger does not do away with the "Greater" reality that will follow someone God has sent. sw

Matt 28:18
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. NIV

How broad is the thought of "Delegated" authority within the body of Christ? Especially "Authority" that can NOT be trumped despite everything else which takes up time and space on Gods green earth?

Have you ever stopped to think what would happen if all of the heavenly assigned titles given to the body of Christ (church) for her beautification were somehow "Killed" off (Apostle's, Prophets, Evangelist, Pastors, Teachers)?

What would then become of the Hope of those specifically created beings (spirits) God has designed according to His nature (Spirit) to function in a specific capacity? Where would such spirits come to nestle as if where they belong?

Often times the outer casing (flesh and mind of the soul) has been prepared and educated to do certain things which pertain to the advantages that belong to this world, yet how prepared is the spiritual man beneath that outer casing?

Exactly how much outer pressure can that spiritual man inside sustain before all but being "Snuffed Out" like a candle?

Luke 9:57
As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."

Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."  NIV

When and where can the student find the teacher he's searching for?

Ezek 34:11-13
"'For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep.

I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness.

I will bring them out from the nations and gather them from the countries, and I will bring them into their own land. NIV

Jer 16:19-21
O LORD, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in time of distress, to you the nations will come 
from the ends of the earth and say, "Our fathers possessed nothing but false gods, worthless idols that did them no good. Do men make their own gods? Yes, but they are not gods!"

"Therefore I will teach them — this time I will teach them my power and might.
Then they will know that my name is the LORD. NIV

John 10:24-26
24 The Jews gathered around him, saying, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly."

Jesus answered, "I did tell you, but you do not believe. The miracles I do in my Father's name speak for me, but you do not believe because you are not my sheep.
NIV

Where will the spiritual oriented student encounter the spiritual teacher and how does the student find the teacher if the teacher is NOT obedient to his calling?

Is God only all about Jesus? Yes! Is Godliness only about Jesus? Yes!

Have you ever stooped to think about Your Love affair with God long enough to deeply consider His love For You? Exactly how much of what You Love is also Your God?

Many souls are more concerned with how the world will interprets their own efforts and expression(s) of Love as if a reflection of God's Love on themselves. Jesus didn't fore warn those who would follow Him about persecution that also lies ahead if such things were NOT coming would He?

I suppose one would also have to accept that He was also a prophet of God that truly can see and know what the future holds. How potent are His words when He tells those who say they believe, "He came to His own but His own did NOT receive Him? As well the telling of a prophet in his home town?

Mark 6:4-6
Jesus said to them, "Only in his hometown, among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor."  He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. And he was amazed at their lack of faith. NIV

When Jesus is believed, there will come a time in a every God filled spiritual mans existence (life) where he finds himself rejected. If that man is not able to see what it is truly being rejected it's too easy to take it personal to then try and defend that position in your own strength (soul).

Many believers fall into this trap. They find themselves being compelled and encouraged by a "Competitive" spirit. Believing that God does not leave those who hunger and thirst for righteousness without eyes that can see and ears that can spiritually hear, the copy of this nature can also be observed among natural born siblings.

The sad part that begs to question this matter is, "Where is the spiritual father of the house"?

Don't allow your household to fall into such traps or become a "Known" suspect to such schemes. These efforts are only pointed at what all spiritual men who belong to God are faced with as a struggle while in this world.

Why is it in THIS world so many spend their lives trying to "Prove" their love for others? Could it have anything to do with being FOUND trustworthy? Found trust worthy Yes but to "Whom"?

Those who do study to show themselves approved know the answer, yet are they willing to acknowledge why their interest seems as if it's "Owed" and is being divided? Who are such people trying to prove themselves to?

Too many are blaming the world outside their homes instead of taking truthful inventory of the consuming world that's more than alive and doing well inside their homes.

How easy is it to suggest "After The Fact" what's done is done, only then to spend the remainder of time trying to find someone else to blame for our own "Divided" interest"?

The value of the suggestive suffix "Hood" is where everyone in the said "Hood" clearly understands the importance of not only headship, but also the devotion to the Lord required of that same headship.

Devotion to the Lord requires noncompetitive time, focus, dedication, meditation and the compassionate understanding of all the supportive and hopeful recipients who then find themselves increasingly dependent upon the net results of such due diligence.

Instead what this godly recommended model ends up looking like in most homes is like a houseful of artist with hammers and chisel's who are fighting over who's going to take the next swing at the ONLY block of marble in the house as if trying to carve out "Who's in charge"!

Instead of it being the matter of "Who's in Charge" why is this topic NOT being perceived as "Who has been Charged with the task and office of headship"? It's easy for a said "Homemaker" to suggest in a home everything has it's place, yet is this true in ALL instances?

Those who try to live by laws will find themselves without a home and those who ignore the spiritual calling of Love that governs the True Home will also fall.

Do the specific "Concerns" of a mans life he needs to be Free from also require names faces assigned before he see's them or has he been told in advance what they will look like when they present themselves?

Prov 15:25
The LORD tears down the proud man's house but he keeps the widow's boundaries intact.
NIV

Prov 19:13
A foolish son is his father's ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping.
NIV

1 Cor 7:32-35

I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord's affairs — how he can please the Lord. But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world — how he can please his wife— and his interests are divided . An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord's affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world — how she can please her husband. I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord.
NIV

What many fail to reason through as if what's at the root of the reason given why it's OK to marry while knowing these things will or can distract the attention of a person. What Paul was trying to inform those who have ears that can hear, "The requirements placed on you within the venue of marriage make it harder on your undivided devotion to the Lord"!

Paul not only received great revelation from God, but he also by way of reason came to know the dedication requirements to what he believed to be true in terms of being Sold Out to God. Revelation also somehow interprets into being "Awake". Paul had eyes and ears while living his own life and while observing the lives of others.

In no way was Paul suggesting that marriage is bad, instead he was using extremes to warn of the subtle onset and potential for distraction(s) that can rob the household of its rightful and Godly benefit(s).

1 Cor 7:8-9
Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I am. But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
NIV

Jesus continually said in regards to OUR mutually acknowledged heavenly Father, "I only DO as I SEE the father doing"? Doesn't that sound more like a good, faithful, Older and more mature Brother speaking to up and coming siblings?

Jesus also said He did NOT consider it robbery to consider Himself as He did in the sight of God, didn't He? The Lord does NOT want His own to shy away from this similar identity, yet just as equal, don't forget to expect more of the same from this "Same" carnal mindset as did the First Born of the Beloved of God.

When you believe and learn to trust (know) what is True and what your truly battling against, it sure puts a lessor strain on the spiritual eyes and ears, yet without Love also being present you find yourself slaying those you had hoped to also Love as does the Lord.

Was the following counsel ONLY given to Timothy? And what is One mutual calling as if One accord without the "Competitive" struggle over "Who" is right?

God is faithful and will always show up where His will has been mutually and willingly accepted to be true and The power which in turn cast such things down. Acquiring enough faith for more than One is a hard thing to accomplish yet when God is one of those two or more in agreement only then can ten thousand be put to flight.

 2 Tim 2:24-26

And the Lord's servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil , who has taken them captive to do his will. 

NIV

2 Tim 1:7

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity , but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. 

NIV

Eph 6:12

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood , but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

NIV

Rev 21:7-8

He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. But the cowardly , the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars — their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur.

NIV

.

The inhabitants of this world "Love" to claim to be imperfect, yet truly what is that makes them "Imperfect as compared to anything else?

How closely tied to that thoughts along the lines of killing off those titled offices is the Rebellious heart which by way of its very nature suggest, "You're NOT nor is anyone else the boss of me"?

In what capacity DOES the voice of Truth then come calling or maybe even more accurately stated how can the voice of truth come calling once the death of those offices that been found acceptable?

Just because some refuse to accept the titles of those whom God has justified, does that somehow do away with the spiritual essence God intended to thrive from within those God given label's?

It's easy to read the biography of someones success years after the fact because it "Seems" to have become obvious (famous) to many, yet "During" the onset of the "Yet to to be a "Realized" cause of that success?

IF we were talking about Bill Gates or Warren Buffet the retelling of those life size stories are also traceable, yet what about the dimension of a God assigned spiritual man inside of them? Where are the foot prints of God in their lives?

What defines those special foot prints beyond others also said to belong to a being also known as "Sasquatch"?

Some might suggest a particular man was also a religious man or maybe even a God fearing Man, but truly what has been defined in that type of assessment or alignment with something "Obviously" greater?

Was the One true God revealed for who He is as if God was living "Through" that man as if vicariously through that mans life? OR was it more simplified because of what others were only willing to "Believe" to be TRUE about the Man instead of God?

The world loves to talk about "Potential" yet what about "True Potential"? Every "Atom" has potential as does a tiny molecule of water, yet what needs to accompany those finite attributes before they show forth their true potential?

Doesn't the very nature of a single molecule of water have to come into to agreement with the nature of "Itself" before any two tiny droplets then become "One"? And to think many believe their marriages last because they've observed how "opposites" attract while observing a magnet work?

Why was the Lord so fond of the title "Little Ones"? Could it have anything to do with a prophets reward which trails behind what has been spoken and that with authority?

Is part of what Christianity is being asked to believe that Jesus was truly given ALL Power And authority in heaven AND on Earth?

How powerful and valued are the very words of the Savior God sent? His own prayer offered up on behalf of those who will accept the Truth about Him?

Exactly when does a legacy die? At what point do words fully exhaust their potential?

John 17:20-23
My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. 

May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 

I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. 

May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. 
NIV

Matt 10:41-42
Anyone who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and anyone who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward. 

And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward."  
NIV

I hope to be able to continue this at a later date, yet it's value is only equal to all that you're willing to believe is True.

Tracing out the image of God

Screaming through the bars of your own jail cell in hopes of changing the outside world is not a platform to be taken seriously. sw

A picture may be worth a thousand words, yet the artist had to hear everyone of them. sw

 A statement made that's also assumed open for interpretation suggest a message sent that was not intended to be clearly understood. sw

If there were more than One God just think how complicated the thoughts of religion would be. sw

Freedom opens many doors yet rebellion slams them shut at every opportunity. sw

Who are the "They" and the "Them" God speaks of below?

2 Peter 2:19-20
They promise them freedom , while they themselves are slaves of depravity — for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. NIV

The author was addressing the "Potential" influence false prophets and teachers can have on the people of God. 

What one word best describes what the author was hoping to prevent? Could it be the word "Ungodly"?

When one can accept that God creates with spoken words, is it any wonder why men who seek power would want to gain control of the interpretation of words?

It is written of the Christ God sent on His behalf, that He was what?

John 1:1-2
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God , and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. NIV

If God is believed who is the "Us" below?

Gen 1:26
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. KJV

When you don't know what you exactly believe what do you then hear and as the result "See" or fail to see?

How easy is to put together a 100 piece puzzle versus a 5,000 piece when certain things begin to take shape and relate to where the next piece belongs? 

If you're a puzzle fanatic have you ever accidentally mixed the pieces of a two separate puzzles together only to eventually give up trying to figure the whole thing out?

Have you ever heard the arguments over the gender of God whether male or female since it's been said "Let us make Him in our own image"?

Few ask the question, "Why didn't God simply roll out some more clay and make Eve as God did Adam"? Rather than simply reject the whole telling words of God, why argue only particular portions of what God says is true?

Even if there were more words of God recorded somewhere, wouldn't the worth of seeing part of what God says still require believing what we do have in that God created the heavens and the earth and every living thing? And that to include the eventual arrival of His Son the appointed Christ (savior of men)?

Where did the phrase come from which suggest that "Opposites attract"? Who coined it and why is it accepted as if valid?

How much of what gets said speaks of the body and soul and how much gets said on behalf of the spirit of God within a man? That same spirit that requires faith in order to see it?

Even further why the need for a "New" spirit and the mind of the soul to be "Renewed"?

God says "I will" remove your heart of stone. When a man alone tries to accomplish this on his own self righteous reigns in his thinking. Since God is spirit and man knows next to nothing about the spirit realm why does man assume he CAN do it?

It's a picture only God can paint!

Ezek 36:26
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.

NIV

Just think if the essence of that declaration "Opposites attract" were widely accepted as being presented by this world, what kind of door does that open? Especially when we Hear Jesus our Christ praying that He be returned to His Father as ONE as well those that have been given to Him so they too can be One?

Such foolishness leaves little room for the "Likeness" of a God given spirit to return home doesn't it? Not to mention the needed leading of His spirit for a lost soul that knows nothing about where Home is that has also never seen the Father? 

And why the beauty of the Adoption as Sons?

The essence of what God used in "Order" to design them male and female, all came from the One man (Adam) God created. 

By wisdom, foresight and intent, God took from what was One and made the two. If God had made Eve from her own pile of dust/clay she would then not only have the "right" (Liberty) to defy Adam and discern what is Good for "Herself" but even greater her design would not speak to ALL that God desired to make known about His person by way of them both as "One".

What could have been the underlying message? A kingdom divided against itself will NOT stand maybe? How much more then is understood when the spirit and soul of man hears "The Kingdom of God is within You"?

And how much of that Kingdom has to do with HIS spirit within a man? The same spirit that can not be seen with physical eyes nor heard with physical ears? 

Why the requirement that such an inhabitant must first be "Believed" does reside on the inside of a man in order to then be seen by spiritual eyes and heard by spiritual ears?

1 Peter 3:12
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, 
but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."   

NIV

And who is the being that does NOT believe God and every word that comes from His mouth?

Gal 3:6
Consider Abraham: "He believed God , and it was credited to him as righteousness." 

NIV

Failing to recognize what God has done does NOT align itself with the voice that says "I believe".

Rom 1:20

For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities — his eternal power and divine nature — have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse . 
NIV

In terms of respecting Godly symbols here in the earth, how much of what God has painted also gets protected when his own (as if part of the One) fail to "Observe" and preserve such monuments (symbols)?

It should be clearly seen how clouded the perception of some has become when it is truthfully considered "Why" same sex relationships fly in the face of what God intended. Especially when one believes Gods intent was to make himself known through all that He's created.

Without dwelling too long on this topic, same sex relationships should be the "Pinnacle" as to how to discern the defiant spirit at work within someone. Instead of looking for a horns and a tail why not look for the not so obvious evidence?

The reason being this attraction revisits the essential dynamics and retelling of the God like design encased in human flesh where it all began. Of course that also requires Believing God!

What do you believe, who have you believed and why is the summation of all that you believe so important to the Lord? Because it has everything to do with the manifestation (results).

Prov 15:6
The house of the righteous contains great treasure, but the income of the wicked brings them trouble. NIV

Whose words have you allowed into the House of God and are they "True"?

How much of what you believe has to do with Knowing God and the reason why there is a need for a savior?

Is this life only about you OR is your life being lived truly about proving God to be righteous because He has spoken?

We must Not forget that hell was originally prepared for the 1/3 of the angelic realm which first defied the wisdom of God before man came on scene. 

Mans opportunity is to receive the Mercy of God so that His grace CAN lead us to reconciliation In Him through the spiritual doorway of Christ whom He sent. 

The flesh does not somehow cloak what the mind of the ungodly spirit and lost soul look to do and hope to accomplish. Without the God appointed Christ as our guide and moment to moment Counselor how true is our Hope in Him?

2 Thess 2:13

But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because from the beginning God chose you to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth .

NIV

If the word (Gospel) of the Lord is understood to be the seed of Gods spirit planted within you, does it not also require the grace of God to give shape, form and then birth to that spiritual Child?

When does eternity begin? Only when you get to heaven or when the outer covering of our flesh gets replaced by it's new covering (divine body)?

Gods words were intended to bring to life the picture He's painted that should be worth more than a thousand words.

If your spiritual birth were intended to ONLY be a partaker of a time and season assumed to be IN Heaven, what does that suggest about every word that has come from the mouth of God that suggest there is More to the event than what is presently "Believed to be True".

Setting captives free might interpret differently when it's understood more clearly as to "Who and What" in all truth actually is holding those God given spirit(s) captive?

I hope to continue this at some point in the future and hope that we can share in these Truth(s) which God has placed on display as we hopefully mature so we can interpret our identity as if it does have a purpose in this world. 

Just give "Me" the good stuff!

Without realizing the presence of something else that's inside, how long will its over all appearance be neglected from the outside. sw

How many raise their children without ever finding the "Way" to trace out the image of God within that child in order to properly introduce them to their true identity that is only found In Christ?

Simply put, "Only the spirit of truth can teach the spirit of God within a man"!

When a father can not convince his child to want the same thing the father also has at what point does the spirit of God in a man become something of value?

Is the body of Christ trying to raise the slaves of God or Children of God? Is the God that is being taught and promoted finding himself of no value in the lives of those who are doing "The teaching" or is the God that is Love not being properly introduced?

The beauty of what Christ teaches in many different ways is that in each lesson he's focused on One and the same thing, "The Sons of God being brought to maturity". The hard part is getting everyone that's supposed to be involved on the same page!

This can only be seen when the "Me" becomes the "We" or the "Us" in conversation about the Godly affairs here in the earth.

1 Cor 12:26
If one part suffers , every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
NIV

Titus 2:9-10
Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them, 10 and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive .
NIV

Rom 8:16-17
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs — heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. NIV

There is wrong suffering and there is righteous suffering, yet the best example of a survivor is put on display how?

As parents we "Might" get to hear ourselves from time to time being quoted by our children, yet how close to THE truth are those same words? Do we simply hand to them words that are empty and void of True value?

Words that have been minced and mixed with the wisdom that comes from this world?

Gen 1:27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; .....NIV

The mind that has associated itself with this world goes off track as soon as if hears the mention of gender specific qualities or other aspects which only seem to divide, yet why?

Unless the essence of what causes a man to be corrupted has changed since the beginning what makes any man think of himself or others differently today? Is sin unique or is a liar and a murderer any different in the eyes of God?

How much different is the spirit of God that is One within as many as have received that "Same" Spirit of Son-ship? And that without respect for the divisive gap of time and/or circumstances between generations?

Ps 106:20
They exchanged their Glory for an image of a bull, which eats grass.
NIV

Jer 2:11
Has a nation ever changed its gods? (Yet they are not gods at all.) But my people have exchanged their Glory for worthless idols.
NIV

Rom 1:25
They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator — who is forever praised. Amen.
NIV

1 John 2:17
The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.
NIV

Man has been hearing for years we're living in the last times, yet is he growing tired of holding onto the value of such a truth?

If this passage of truth were all that one had to define what a "Scoffer" is in God's eyes, what would one see in that defining?

Jude 18-19
They said to you, "In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires ." These are the men who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.
NIV

The word "Ungodly" simply means "Not Like God" and when it's understood more completely, it also means not like Christ who is also of the God head. The holy speaks many things, yet the resounding tone works all things together for the good of the body of Christ here in the earth.

How easy is it to suggest this as if the tone and essence of His spirit? Because God is One, Christ is One with God and Jesus prayed so that those who believe on him might also be One with them.

Eph 2:15-18
His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace, and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit .
NIV

To many focus in on the "Who it is" instead of what it looks like, yet why? Could it have anything to do with what those words reveal? If there be any danger in One voice leading many, it should be thieir concen

The seductive nature and conversation(s) of this world look to divide the children of God and many think they're strong enough to handle (endure) this torment on their own, yet how do we then find many who have NOT been protected by the "Many"?

More often the many will turn out the not so strong because the many were NOT strong enough to defend them to begin with.

The inner ranks and leadership of the many have allowed the wolves to come in. Much of this is due to the lack of discernment among the people.

How much of this lack of discernment is due to the failure of some that have miserably failed at revealing the true Identity of the child?

If it is true that Gods people suffer from lack of "Knowledge", then where does one look to in order to repair such a malady?

How does the parental icon in the life of a child learn to demonstrate the saving power of God without their being a power that also proves itself to be true?

It's too easy to "Blame" the parents of the "One" that goes astray, yet when all the facts do come in exactly where were the hearts of the many in their dedication unto the cares of Gods people.

Many only wish to marvel at the miracle's of Jesus, yet why did Jesus do the miraculous? Could it be that He also loves people? He may not Love everything that people choose to do, yet when He is believed, Blessed is the man whose sins are forgiven and remembered no more!

People will always be hungry, yet what they're hungry for only comes natural to the very nature within themselves they've been taught to recognize and feed.

When as few as one will not accept that God loves people, at what point does the whole get concerned?

How does a 300 pound lion consume a 4,000 lb elephant?

1 John 4:21

God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.

In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him.

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear , because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

We love because he first loved us.

If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.

And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.
NIV

All men truly are without excuse, yet only when they've truthfully looked up and to ALL that God has placed on display for they're mutual benefit and edification!

Prov 8:34-36
Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.
For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the LORD.

But whoever fails to find me harms himself; all who hate me love death."
NIV

Ask yourself who is my brother and are you your brothers keeper? And what defines a brother except the one that has come from the same womb? Amen or Oh My?

Explaining it all away

As long as a man continues to exist in the present state he now finds, the thoughts of his soul will remain in search of the Pinnacle of meaning that will somehow unlock the remainder of all that he's yet to completely understand. sw

Isa 33:5-6
The LORD is exalted, for he dwells on high; he will fill Zion with justice and righteousness. He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the LORD is the key to this treasure.   NIV

Could it be that while man is searching at the top for the answers he's failed to understand the significance of the support system beneath it he's also under estimated?

Everything that's built/assembled has infrastructure that must first be established. Why?

Could it be because of everything else the main structure gets connected to?

What is a building without a sewer system, water supply, windows, doors or the functional benefit(s) of electricity and other utilities? Some might suggest that would depend on who's planning on staying there and what their needs are?

Since his natural birth man of himself seems enjoy extracting everything he can at the least expense as if trying to find a short cut to success. This being comes out of the womb demanding to be fed, kept dry and warm and get "Paid" as much attention as he can having yet to be taught the value in the thought(s) that will lead him into his "Spiritual" maturity.

The only valued medium of exchange this being comes to realize (understand) in this type of economy is the ways and means to gain even more of the same.

Without change this type of economy is doomed for economic collapse. Does God raise up children in the way they should go only to become even greater consumers?

In terms of what a mans daily wages prove capable of purchasing, of what value is money in the sight of God? What value has Godly "Understanding" been assigned?

How does the value of anything get "Assessed" in ANY economy where the governing rules of "Supply and Demand" reign supreme?

How do you define "Sin"?

At what point does Gods wisdom find "All Men" able to interpret what God also declares (creation) should reveal His divine nature and with clarity? And what is it that participated in the creation of "The Sons of God"?

How can a man interpret unless that man also accept the Son God brought forth from an otherwise invisible realm? The Son of righteousness sent to further explain to those He Loves?

What prevents a "Clear" explanation from speaking for itself?

Rom 1:20
For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities — his eternal power and divine nature — have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse .
NIV

And who is God's sent symbol (emblem) of "Truth"?

Rom 1:25
.....They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator — who is forever praised. Amen.
NIV

At what point does Gods wisdom merge with prophecy that's also True? If God has revealed himself at what point does "Ignorance" remain a viable excuse without also being accompanied by "Unbelief"?

Could the author of this passage below seen the shadowed story of a wise man named Jesus? 

Eccl 9:13-18
I also saw under the sun this example of wisdom that greatly impressed me: There was once a small city with only a few people in it. And a powerful king came against it, surrounded it and built huge siege works against it.

Now there lived in that city a man poor but wise, and he saved the city by his wisdom. But nobody remembered that poor man.

So I said, "Wisdom is better than strength." But the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are no longer heeded.

The quiet words of the wise are more to be heeded than the shouts of a ruler of fools.
Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.
NIV

Which is easier to comprehend in a world that loves to ignore the not so obvious, "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away" OR;

Prov 4:7
Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.Though it cost all you have, get understanding.
NIV

Understanding your creator should have come by way of the knowledge that everything in this world also belongs to that same creator. It sounds simple on the surface yet how practical is the notion where anything that's found in this world and of true value can be possessed for "Free"?

How easy it for a son living in his fathers house to lay claim to benefit(s) of all that his father owns?

How sad a day will it be when a man then realizes that he never comprehended Gods great mercy because that man failed to believe in the Grace and power found in the spoken words of God?

Rom 1:16-17
I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."
NIV

And what is Truth and of what value has the Truth proven to be? Especially when it's doubted what is heard may not have come from the mouth of the ONE that is "ALL WISE"?

The wisdom of this world will tell you, "If it bleeds you can KILL it" yet will such arrogance prove to be true in another day?

Rom 3:25-26
God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus. 
NIV

Is it enough to simply give the courteous "Nod to God" as if there is Only One God? Is that enough to appear as if you have repented having been called? And that calling as if unto separation that's discernable while being found among the rest of this world?

James 2:18-19
Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do. You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that — and shudder.
NIV

Will such a faith prove to be the results of the same faith in the same power which raised Jesus from dead?

And who are you proving your faith to as if it does have value? Have you ask yourself, "Have I valued such a great faith and that with all that I Am"?

John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives.
NIV

Surely only the mercy of God can save you from everything that's been denied to be True as it concerns the prospecting of the corrupted mind of men.

Who have you loved and how have you proved that Love when you stand in the shadow of the God that is "Love"?

When was the last time you had to pay your shadow to perform as You do?

Rom 8:11-15
And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.

Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation — but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it.

For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 

For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship.
NIV
