If the verbalized opinion does NOT matter, why then are so many obsessed with who holds the microphone and who the teachers are among any group of people who are convinced that being in agreement influences the outcome of the agreement made. sw
Every portion of ALL that Israel is and will become has need of giving thanks unto the Lord having benefited from the Eternal participation only the Grace of God can duly reward. sw
Does it TRULY matter who the person is that writes or says what is it true in ANY given moment God has given or should the only Eternal consideration become the thought(s) where ONLY God is observed as Good in all that He does. sw
2 Cor 13:5-9
Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you — unless, of course, you fail the test?
And I trust that you will discover that we have not failed the test.
Now we pray to God that you will not do anything wrong. Not that people will see that we have stood the test but that you will do what is right even though we may seem to have failed.
For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth . We are glad whenever we are weak but you are strong; and our prayer is for your perfection. NIV
Why IN THIS WORLD does it seem to matter so much to those who DO suggest they follow Christ as to "WHO" it is that also gets to say what is True in any given moment?
Outside of all that Christ is and the authority He's been given, what have mere men tried to establish as if the 'Power' only the Holy Spirit can dispense?
AND that while suggesting it to be a well known fact that ONLY Jesus the Son Of God was and is the ONLY man who is perfect in ALL that He said and did to have ever walked the face of this earth?
Once it has become such a well known fact that ALL men are sinners and unqualified to speak for the sake and power of His Holy name, who then will be heard as though One who is found capable of speaking what is True in any given moment. sw
Will it prove to be on the day of judgment the pedigree issued by some politically established institution that also historically decided whom God qualified through the course of time to speak on Gods behalf?
What is within ANY sinner that would cause its host to somehow TRY and protect what the spirited "Inhabitant" does have to "Say"?
As though all that has, does and will also prove to define the spirited "Inhabitant" found within ANY man that will also prove what a "Sinner" is and does IN THIS WORLD?
In terms of Proving" ANYTHING worth keeping, why does it SEEM so many are more bound over to trying to PROVE who the sinners are IN THIS WORLD? And as such as though in stark contrast as though somehow APPROVING the effectual working of the WORDS OF GOD in this world?
In terms of ALL that is True, what does any man suggest that he's believed? Things such as "Was King David a sinner during ANY part of his physical existence"?
Was King David a "Prophet"?
Did King David during his life span prove ANY of the qualities of God during that same time?
If God were to have somehow glorified the actions of another man (Uriah) within King David's life span what is about this type of OTHER man God would also choose to Glorify?
Why is it when the future of humanity studies the history of his own kind, he (man) only seems to want to glean from the apparently GOOD things the supposed man of God being studied did? And what are those same qualities this same type of humanity tries to promote?
Especially those same qualities that go on to promote "Obedience" that leads to a sanctifying type of "Suffering" that's also been "Endured"?
The same type of endurance that ONLY the spirit of God can sustain?
In terms of the illustration used that displays the glass half full vs half empty, what does define what Love is? Just as equal what further goes on to define this same "Love" in under the terms of ALL that Love IS......or NOT?
Exactly what earth bound "Instrument" is also GODS chosen Instrument He then goes on to further demonstrate the "Profound" mystery which then depicts "Christ and the Church (bride)" God has chosen for His Son?
Exactly why is it this said "Man-kind" also seems to earnestly be looking for continual ways to somehow interfere with ALL that is and has been in the heart of God since the beginning?
And why would 1/3 of ANY force whether in heaven or here on earth also choose to disagree with God?
And why would God have need of KEEPING most "Certain" things secret for as Long as He did before man if there were no "Opposition" towards this same desire made "Manifest"?
And to think that if any part of today is still a part of that same process as if a desire that was and still is within the "Heart of God"?
And what is "Trust" in terms of what has also been "MADE OF GOD"? Exactly whose Bride is any "Bride" if NOT for the consideration of ALL the "Groom" is and has been?
Matt 22:43-46
He said to them, "How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit , calls him 'Lord'? For he says,
'The Lord said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand
until I put your enemies under your feet." '
If then David calls him 'Lord,' how can he be his son?" No one could say a word in reply, and from that day on no one dared to ask him any more questions.
NIV
Within the annuls of ALL that times holds captive both in heaven and on earth, what has changed "Today"?
This same day being the Day of YOUR .....SALVATION!
And who unto this appointed DAY were also Given to BE are OUR teachers?
When was the LAST time You or I stopped to deeply consider Not only what TODAY looks like, but who is thought of FIRST before we "Say or Do" ANYTHING in and of our own choosing while IN THIS WORLD?
And all of the above as if TRULY believed to BE....In the sight of God even as we SPEAK about a type of Son of Man who is also "The Son Of God"?
Acts 2:22-3:1
"Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know.
This man was handed over to you by God's set purpose and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross.
But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.
David said about him:
"'I saw the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will live in hope, because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay.
You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence.'
"Brothers, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day. 30 But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne.
Seeing what was ahead, he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to the grave, nor did his body see decay.
God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact. 33 Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.
For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said,
"'The Lord said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet." '
"Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ."
When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?"
Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off — for all whom the Lord our God will call."
With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation."
Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.
They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common.
Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need.
Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
