Your Welcome

Debate can be quickly resolved when Truth has been proved capable of maintaining the authority given in order to rule. sw

There was a time when a man was given the freedom to explore the boundaries of the liberty he was also given. sw

Chasing ghost is not a profitable endeavor especially when you don't know beyond doubt what they look like. sw

Do your toes curl, heart rate increase and tongue begin to twitch when words such as "Obey" and "Discipline" are directed towards You?

Does a loud voice shouting commands accompanied by eyes that are ablaze with fury have a way of bringing out what you might have not considered to be "The worst in you"? Volume may not make you right, yet it sure has a way of announcing an undeniable presence.

Ezek 10:5
The sound of the wings of the cherubim could be heard as far away as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when he speaks .
NIV

Because mankind can't change what is True, his default setting is not only to somehow try and redefine what is True but also the interpretation of all that confirms what is otherwise True. How?

Through "Conversation"! Especially when the essence of that word (convert) is taken into account.

What is it within a person that seems to want to rise up whenever some form of authority "Outside" of ourselves begins to place demands upon our "Person"? Aside from an action taken, initially what form does this "up rising" assume if not first the thought and then words that follow?

Where would such an "Inheritance" come from? What course does anything follow? More often the path of least resistance.

Is the following passage suggesting the tongue is evil? Of course not because with that same tongue God can be praised.

James 3:6
The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
NIV

Is the status of "Maturity" truly what most have assumed it to mean?

Exactly what is maturity or WHO is it that gets to determine where someone has reached the "State" of maturity? Because this is a christian oriented blog, is asking the question about context even valid?

What is it that governs and/or maintains oversight of this "Maturation" process?

What if the frame work of the word "Mature" were pictured as if a "Mold"? A mold originally intended to define and contain THE "Objective? That objective being One and the same mold that's been designed only because there was only "One" purpose in mind?

Have you ever stopped to consider exactly where that ONE mind could be found?

As if  "One Mind" that hovers above the sea of many?

At what point does the notion of "Doing what is right" ever find it's course being altered? If you are the only ONE who establishes what is right, then at what point is it even "Possible" You could ever be "Wrong"?

Have you ever stopped what your "Doing" long enough to arrive at the conclusion exactly "Why" absolute authority could ever find itself no longer in the position of Authority?

Could it have anything to do with a "Sin" and/or "Sinful" nature?

Deut 27:14-16
The Levites shall recite to all the people of Israel in a loud voice

"Cursed is the man who carves an image or casts an idol — a thing detestable to the LORD, the work of the craftsman's hands — and sets it up in secret. "Then all the people shall say, "Amen!" 

"Cursed is the man who dishonors his father or his mother."Then all the people shall say, "Amen!" 
NIV

Just think if such laws were engraved upon ones mind. Then only later that person received a "New" heart which contained a "New" message that broadcast something different?

Wouldn't that place the heart and mind at odds or at war with each other while trying to blend (reconcile) the essence of the two together? Is man alone even capable of accomplishing such a task on his own OR does man need a helper or help mate?

And who is the "Holy Spirit" if not from God who can do all things through Christ Jesus?

 Titus 3:4-8
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, 6 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. NIV

You can welcome a guest and even bring them into your home and feed them, yet you can also not have them back of make them NOT feel welcome while they are there. Why is that so important? When was the last time YOU found yourself in someones home only to soon realize your were no longer extended a "Welcome"?

Picture this, you've invited someone into your home, they were shown their room in what some would think to be the darkest region of the home (dusty basement).They then entered that room and discovered they'd be sleeping on the hardwood floors?

Now wait! I know, most would suggest that person should be grateful, right? Did I forget to mention the person staying was also the same person you've acknowledged as "The King"?

It's hard for some to accept the individual person whose been given the authority to lead and direct within a given setting. For others as long as everyone else also abides by the said "Rules" it seems to make it easier to follow those rules in the fashion they've been "Presented".

Often when someone breaks rank and decides to throw off the restraints of commands, how soon does it begin to affect everyone else under one and the same authority? Is it only the point where it's assumed there are not any "Realized" consequences?

Consequences to mean any degree of pain or suffering that can be visualized and made real before actually experiencing that pain?

How far down the stream of humanity would you suppose the contaminated "Waters" of disobedience flow? Especially when you can somehow visualize 'Words" that take on and assume the image of water?

In the history of man water provided the first opportunity for a man to look into and "See" a reflection of his physical presence. If that's all there were taking up space and time within man that would be a singular matter, correct?

But what if man because he's ONLY able to see "Part" of all that he is in terms of TRUE representation needed another way in order to see the other parts of his given "Being"?

More precisely to mean the spiritual part of a man that's also wanting to gaze at a reflection of its "Self"?

Where would this spirit portion within a man then go to in order to "Look" into such a reflection as if the "Inquiry"?

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

What if the following were a picture (metaphor) of the "Church"?

Num 5:24-28
He shall have the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and this water will enter her and cause bitter suffering. The priest is to take from her hands the grain offering  for jealousy, wave it before the LORD and bring it to the altar. The priest is then to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial offering and burn it on the altar; after that, he is to have the woman drink the water.

If she has defiled herself and been unfaithful to her husband, then when she is made to drink the water that brings a curse, it will go into her and cause bitter suffering; her abdomen will swell and her thigh waste away, and she will become accursed among her people.

If, however, the woman has not defiled herself and is free from impurity, she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to have children.
NIV

What if there is a part of a man in a prior epoch of time that was also a part of God "Before" a man was made able to realize himself at this new address?

When a spirit man decides to one day wake up from his slumber, at what point will he then realize words are the central (heart) part of who he is? Words that will decide who He is and to whom he belongs?

Food for thought "Maybe", yet reasoning must find itself hungry for what is true before it "Wills" itself to then eat and be filled.

Pain was designed to be a school master of sorts, yet when one doubts the One whom "Designed" the ability to feel pain, only then will pain become his enemy and/or find itself able to do a good work..

Thanks to nerves and our bodies natural responses to certain stimuli (without discussing the source) Pain when truthfully examined looks to prevent many things from taking place.

In this world and because of a mans own reasoning that has it's own "Way" of conditioning the mind, there will be some who pursue specific thoughts which suggest certain things are worth the "Pain". Those who've managed to train their minds to respond to pain differently than the original design.

Whether in a geopolitical arena or a small town, at what point does losing the ability to enforce rules then begin erode or strip away the "Law of the Land"? What many fail to realize today is just how much Law has to do with "Love"? 

As if Love for the sake of "Peace" was the root cause most laws were implemented so their existence would be realized in the lives of those they also were intended to govern. Governed "Yes", but why only "After" a particular event does the need to be "Governed" then get realized as a need?

Many fail to see freedom the same way the mind of the same God whom also created man, yet why?

James 1:25
But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it — he will be blessed in what he does. NIV

Many read the words of God and can see the Icons/Avatars/Actors used in order to illustrate those words, yet when do those words become a part of the One observing those same words? Spoken words that were NOT intended to lose their intent or purpose no matter how many sets of hands or of eyes handled those words through the course of time?

Ancient words "yes", but are they found to be "Sacred" ancient words? Words which change lives because those words have since become part of them?

Just think how complicated its become while trying to clearly define certain laws that have been worded and recorded in a particular fashion? 

Laws that received their origin from an office that is high above the understanding of everyone over which those Laws were intended to reign supreme?

What if the intent of any Law had a greater purpose in the mind of their author when they were drafted and recorded?

Law makers in one season of time can seat a panel of those assumed to be wise in order to flesh out what seems best for the people in common., yet what happens to that wise reasoning once all the members of that particular panel die?

Years later when immaturity assumes he's become a "Man" and the growing desire to confront the physical presence and reasoning of the one(s) who recorded their wisdom, what do immaturity discover besides "Opportunity"?

Especially once it's been realized the "Life" those laws once had and exemplified are now "dead" and gone?

Does wisdom also die with those who draft and see to it that certain "Laws" get implemented and then are enforced? 

What happens years later when "Old" wisdom gets challenged, possibly struck from the books or gets "Revised"? Where do those who look to change laws go in order to confront "wisdom" and challenge the reasoning of wisdom? Face it, if they can't change God or what is True, what do they do?

Doesn't the debate then find itself in the courtroom of reasoning? This same jury whose interest reside ONLY in what's best, but "Best for who and why"?

Now comes the hard question, is all the above applicable to the entire "World" or only those who "Choose" belong to the body of Christ? Isn't there already a place prepared for those who will be found to belong to this world and its ways?

Those same ones of the day called "Today" who  have a "Different" way of understanding what God originally designed to become the functionality of the Church that has a temporary address in this world?

You'll never see yourself as part of anything until YOU welcome and receive the "Identity" that truly defines "Who" you are.

1 Cor 6:2-4
Do you not know that we will judge angels ? How much more the things of this life! Therefore, if you have disputes about such matters, appoint as judges even men of little account in the church!
NIV

Is it true that "Laws" get changed or is it more to do with "Wisdom" that gets abandoned? Abandoned because it's no longer worthy as something that needs to continue to be "Realized"?

Drawing "New" conclusions can be a hit and miss practice.

Especially when the vague sense of the brink of destruction remains as part of the reasoning which then points to the need for the limitation(s) of principles and principalities who with careful intent also watch over that process.
