"Just" how "Good" are you?

Let's face it "No One" like's being told what to do 24/7/365 much less the thought of being killed for lying.

Say what you want for the sake of argument, but this type of person who suggest they do isn't the type of human "being" you're going to meet on every corner every day are they?

Below is only one of many briefs of an event that took place in the recorded interaction(s) of God and man by way of the Holy Spirit.

I'm not sure this question has ever crossed your mind, but what would you suggest would have happened if the wife of Ananias had told the truth in those last moments of her earth bound life? And that based on all that YOU have believed to be True about the living will and "Mercy of God"?

Many today are banking on the elusive fact they know God better than the next person, yet what does God attempt to make clear in terms of the "Person" by way of ever changing circumstances?

It's one matter to consider yourself worthy of Gods praise, yet how different is the bend in such a road when looking down that bending road through the eyes of God?

Does the voice of Christ ring out in suggesting, "Who do You say that I AM"? And who besides Christ is capable of such an obedient task if ONLY the spirit of Christ is said to be? That One and SAME spirit many are claiming lives within?

The same spirit that is willing to lead as many who also will to remain willing into the predestined events God has ordained?

The Mercy of God provides the opportunity that awaits on the other side of our circumstances, whereas the Grace of God is the power (provision) needed to (go through) "Become" in order to further pursue the next phase of this identity which is what? The mature sons of God...Forgetting exactly who our example is many fail to "Track" who it is we're supposed to be following.

Being "Made" and or "becoming" mature in Christ is not to suggest that because I made a certain confession I also have instantly "Become" the righteousness of God, and that without having undergone the (remaining) life long renewal of the Mind process the founder(s) of our faith speak of.

2 Cor 5:21
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
NIV

Mere men are desperately trying to use there poor understanding of carnal power in their efforts of trying to reach divine maturity while setting aside divine counsel. Once again what is the contemporary definition of insanity?

2 Cor 10:4
The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
NIV

Keep in mind "Carnal" does NOT only interpret as Ungodly, it includes those who wish to remain "Immature" while claiming to BE In Christ.


Why is it said of the things which pertain to Christ as the "Yes" and the "Amen" are only in Christ and it is God who "Makes" us who have believed In Christ "Stand" firm? Such a task that is otherwise impossible in ALL circumstances unless God IS the one who provides.

2 Cor 1:19
...but in him it has always been "Yes."
NIV

2 Cor 1:20-21
And so through him the "Amen " is spoken by us to the glory of God. Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. NIV

Why do so many continue to resist the thoughts of God which do revolve around the reality of predestination? Could it have anything to do with ALL that we've believed to be TRUE or NOT?

Is it because some have chosen to tamper with the way others then go on to interpret Gods righteous version of predestination? To suggest there is NO valid interpretation that does concern a type of "Predestination" is to throw out the mere mention of it "Anytime" the word is read, heard or gets used.

What does suppressing the Truth Look like these days if God chooses to remain understood as the Alpha and Omega who as the author of creation bestowed the gift of life and eternal Grace in our otherwise mortal expression(s) of Him?

Have we (Gentiles) today advanced so far to where the preassigned liveliness of the Patriarchs can no longer serve us today as if for the purpose(s) which God fully intended?

Rom 1:18-19
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. NIV

Is this to suggest we who boast that we "Believe In God" then only stand around in order to find fault in others so that our own faults will somehow go unnoticed? Do we not also have a Judge and jury?

How might that type of mindset (strong hold) ever truly hope to discover and witness to "Being" the apple of Gods eye?

The same gleam and reflection seen in the eyes of the Lord which God say roam the whole earth looking to show himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are pure towards Him? DO we also forget that God is Spirit?

 Have we returned to thinking on the Lord as we once did Christ who only visited in human form?

Why is that God praises righteous actions and not only righteous thoughts we suggest linger within us? 

Is it possible for anyone to think only good thoughts while continuing to shrink back from taking actions that are based ONLY upon the goodness of God? The same Goodness of God that is also ONLY discovered to be alive within those thoughts by way of TAKING action?

Is it also possible for everyone one who has good thoughts to also act on those good thoughts without the Grace (power) of God enabling and causing that same Goodness of God to manifest? Once more why does Jesus suggest "Only God is Good"?

Can you allow yourself to be asked, "What is Faith" that ONLY God can TRULY define? Why does Jesus ask "Will I find faith when I return" instead of  asking about the net results of what so many try and determine otherwise what faith towards God is?

Why didn't He instead ask, "Will I find good works when I return"? And that thought which will hopefully also obediently trail on the heels of other words He spoke that suggest "Only God is Good"?

And why is it also said of Christ that it is "better to give than receive"?

The NOT so good portion of my being still temps me with thoughts of "Hell" in that it's better to receive because I'm deserved of such things"?

Truly...have we all come to recognize such thoughts as weakness and a specific point and place captured in time where ONLY Christ can step in and prove us "Righteous" in His sight?

Much like the entire Law being summed up by Christ when suggested it hinges upon what two principles?

Acts 5:3-11
Then Peter said, "Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land?

Didn't it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn't the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied to men but to God."

When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. Then the young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.

About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. Peter asked her, "Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?"

"Yes," she said, "that is the price"

Peter said to her, "How could you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also."

At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband. Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events. NIV

Exactly what is in the proverbial "Jars of Clay" believing men and women suggest they are in the "Sight of God"? Are those jars of clay only containers that "Hold" tasteless water? Or do those jars of clay like others we read about hold water which required Jesus to miraculously turn them into "Wine"?

Why is it those who suggest they believe can't see those stone jars that once only held water as being representative of humanity that require the miraculous change that ONLY Christ can bring to pass?

Is it that much more tempting to simply neglect a higher thought and argue over the possible alcohol content FOUND those jars of wine may or may NOT have contained? And that while trying to defend another perspective that today only suits a none eternal cause?

Who is it that's capable of bringing forth the good things stored up in the man?

Is it the man himself who is somehow able or will it be Christ who for the sake of His spirit that is within which will bring forth this "Goodness"?

In terms of a percentage, what actions does any person perform that is also the direct result of the indwelling spirit of Christ in a person?

The truth that also testifies to the person of "Truth" as to whether or not it is the spirit that is also responsible for good deeds that do manifest? Who is it that has yielded to this spirit of Christ we so boldly claim also LIVES within us?

Will we forever allow our predestined and eternal purpose for being to be torn between two opinions?
It's one thing to acknowledge imperfection, yet isn't it an entirely "Different " state of an affair and/or flirtation when someone purposely embraces imperfection? And that while hearing and suggesting we've believed the "Grace of God" stands ready and waiting to transform our lowly being?

As such that shows forth the True Value found in a "New Creation" which God has since birthed into existence and as such "In this world"?


John 8:54-56
Though you do not know him , I know him . If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and keep his word. Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad."  NIV

1 John 3:4-6

Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him. 

NIV

Luke 6:45-47
The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks. 

"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say? I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice.
NIV

Have you ever sat and contemplated the difference between meeting your maker at 20 or 30 verses waiting and meeting Him at 80 or 90 years old? At what stage of your existence do you plan on coming to "Know" your God and Savior?

That in the face of unmerited favor being "Claimed" and as if "Found" we hope others will also embrace?

Consider the words of Christ that might suggest, "AWAY from Me for I do NOT know You"?

What is it that acquits a soul and what is that will condemn the soul? Many do not know, yet why in light of those who suggest they are "Teachers" and others the "Student" (subjects) of this particular "Way" of life?

Many would suggest in terms of of time, they would "Rather" wait and meet their creator at 90, yet is that reality when and "If" you do understand when "Eternity" (Life Eternal) begins for those who are "FOUND to be in Christ?

And why would Christ say to some, "Well Done my Good and faithful servant"? And that when "God has been thoroughly understood to be the ONLY One who is "Good"?

I would love to suggest that "Today" there's an all out "Battle" that's waging, yet the reality is it's more of a slaughter taking place. How do you find?

What many have failed to take notice of is the net result(s) of "Fear".

Fear as such BECAUSE of what YOU suggest you DO know and believe to be "True" with regards to Fear.

Believe it or not, there is a type of fear that is mentioned among many other sins men commit. If I have to prove to you by showing you where in the bible it says such a thing, by near default you've just admitted what's lead you to your own guilt.

It's not all only about guilt and that because all mankind is guilty, yet being MADE aware has only to do with the resistance to being made "Alive in Christ" and that in ALL that He is and is representative of as ONE body. Are we too setting the limits of ALL that "Should" mean?

Not only as such that does concern(s) God, yet also all that assist in His being better defined in this world within the boundaries of the mind and hearts of men?

What is it that usually marks out a clearly defined "Battle Front" and that without mentioning whose winning the battle? Is it only the battle standard (flag) that's flown that clearly marks out whose who in any "Battle"?

Is it only blood, guts and bodies strewn everywhere as the direct result of those who've fallen in battle? Or by way of a land measurement which decides who "Victory" is?

Exactly who is that's keeping the statistics? How many have died and for what? To then consider the earth and everything it STILL belongs to God on the other side of all that have since died?

Whose skewing the "Number(s)" or "Cooking the Books" when it comes to keeping track of bodies or territories taken in battle? Skewed so those "Numbers" favor the "Opposition"?

Surely it's not the Church keeping records otherwise there would be an immediate sense of urgency and trumpet call signifying that same "Urgency"?

In terms of "Books" is there such a thing as the "Book Of Truth" or how about "The Lambs Book of Life"?

This battle front in a word picture looks like the investigation scene where there's no trustworthy eye witnesses, no video, no DNA, no finger prints or any other "Worthy" forensic evidence that would lead to the absolute conviction of the One who is to blame. Yet why is that?

Is this the case because there's no one seeing themselves as guilty as most today would have you to believe? Or is it the case where most believe in the forgiveness of "Everyone" regardless whether forgiveness is pursued and found or NOT?

In American culture today, what would the landscape end up looking like if someone like Peter were to come on scene and were able to carry out such a quick death sentence that had to do with God and man?

Not only a death sentence delivered, but "Sudden Death" where No one laid a hand on them until "After" they had been pronounced dead? Two sudden deaths where only words were spoken towards them within earshot of many others?

Be thankful for mercy and the one that does hold back the full wrath of God even if only for a while. Be thankful there's still daylight and the consideration available towards repentance and forgiveness.

Be thankful in knowing there is a type of Love that's once it's been perfected will drive OUT fear of Him that was once also "Unknown".

The greatest fear being what, just how Good you really are as compared? Compared to "Whom" though?

I'll worry about the harsh reality when the time comes

When does the size of the outlet become relative to what gets in or how fast the boat will sink. sw

How great of an opening does the thief need who seemingly only steals smaller portions over the course of time. sw

How easy is to explain why so many have lost their way when the essence of the overshadowing objective never gets tabled. sw

Mere knowledge of a matter doesn't produce the power that's required. sw

How can Christ be glorified if it's not His power that also brings glory. sw

"John 7:37-39
"If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him."  By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified. NIV

Is there a higher objective of God that pertains to Christ being glorified than humanity is willing to participate in?

And what does Christ being Glorified here in the earth look like without the participation of the spirit of Christ within?

In terms of having an common enemy and the restraint of that same enemy, what might that said "Restraint" look like? Now ask the same of an enemy that can't be seen with human eyes, yet one that can only be defined by its own "Actions" in the sight of God?

Is the appearance of the enemy being defined by way of its physical appearance or is this enemy defined by what it does or doesn't do?

In terms of a God that's also held as common to man, why is it such an important consideration where people find themselves as "Beings" that are accepted for not only who they are but even greater who they do NOT also help define?

Does the formation that's also representative of "Who a person is" get shaped and molded by any influence outside of themselves?

Is there any danger involved where people perceive themselves to be "Whatever" instead of whom God says His own will look like? And the latter as the direct result of the influence of God?

What His (Gods) own will look like on the other side of a "New Beginning" where Christ has come in and takes up permanent residency?

Why isn't there more of an importance placed upon, "Whom God sees a person to be" rather than who the surrounding world and/or supposed fellow Christians see them as?

How does fire that is perceived to have come down from heaven glorify men? How does water that is already here on earth once transformed/converted into "Flood Waters" that swallow up human life only then seem to highlight the enemies of God?

Is it only the influence of dominating thoughts of judgment, pain and punishment that helps shape the individual soul(s) and performance of men?

Luke 12:47-48
"That servant who knows his master's will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many blows. But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. 
NIV

Did the Apostle Paul truly understand the weight of the revelation He was given? As if a weight that was uncommon to many of his time? Whose blood was Israel stained with? The same blood spread over the door post that would prevent the angel of death from entering their homes?

This same Israel who was in the midst of a different people who were non responsive to God? Did they all die or only those whom God prophesied would die?

Surely the blood of a lamb was put over the door post, yet a lamb who first had to be slain in order to obtain this same "Blood" of protection?

The blood and sign (emblem) of guilt held in common that would later be washed away? Blood openly placed on display as if the acknowledgment of their guilt where others were "Unwilling" to share in the coming glory of such a confession?

Is there any possibility of a much darker reasoning as to why so many today seem to shy away from Knowing MORE about the dealings of God than is currently being admitted?

Think what type of chaos would eventually evolve in any industry if there were no standards involved. No codes, ethic's or moral's? You don't have to look very long or hard these days, yet what does that otherwise suggest?

Take for example something like the building of a home? What if the building industry had no "Building Codes" or no industry standards for all the different amenities that go into a home?

Break it down to even a smaller scale if need be. Lets say that doorways in most homes had no Standard dimensions? How would that affect not only production but uniformity within that same "Process"?

It's easy to play the God card and say, That's talking about house building and the limitations of humanity as compared to God with whom ALL things are possible?

Are we only trying to define the results of non conformity within the door knob and hinge industry or are we borrowing from what we also know about a specific type of humanity where non conformity rules?

Just think how much of a nightmare would result not so much for the initial installation, but even more for the one who has to come in behind the initial install and do repairs as things aged?

Now, apply that same logic to the many different types of Gospels that are being preached (taught), accepted as if True and the lasting affects of same even 2 or 3 generations down the road?

And why does blame always seem to stem from what took place in the past? Blame which fuels present reasoning which demotes what others have done which by default then provides the excuse for the WAY everything is presently BEING done?

Is knowledge alone enough to prevent history from repeating itself? Why would Jesus ask, "Will I find faith when I return"? Instead why did Jesus NOT ask "Will I find knowledge about Me when I return"?

Has two thousand years changed the landscape of the type of "Faith" Jesus was asking about or has man since saw fitting to plow under all the tree's and living things that help define all that Faith is and does?

John 5:39-40
You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me , yet you refuse to come to me to have life. 
NIV

If full application of the Gospel that does concern "The Son of God" were only about Christ coming, Him being put to death and His rising from the dead, does that ever TRUTHFULLY supply the needed response(s) or explain the power of God needed that will cause some to rise unto life Eternal?

Needed to mean at any given moment as to why only some are willing to PUT on display and do wear the garments soiled with the blood of Christ? The reason being as they do go about as they participate in the net results having done so?

Really? Id like to examine that type of rationale in this blog piece.

Why doesn't the Love of God participate more than it does in the formation of humanities "Outlook" on the surrounding world and everything contained in it? The "Outlook" that has everything to do with what took place on the inside that can't bee seen at a mere glance?

Josh 8:33-35
Half of the people stood in front of Mount Gerizim and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of the LORD had formerly commanded when he gave instructions to bless the people of Israel.

Afterward, Joshua read all the words of the law — the blessings and the curses — just as it is written in the Book of the Law. There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded that Joshua did not read to the whole assembly of Israel, including the women and children, and the aliens who lived among them. 
NIV

Why is their such importance being placed upon "The showing of ones self to be approved"? Approved by whom though?

And to think so few know much of anything (verbatim) that is also "Contained" in the collective words of God?

Many can quote News Paper and TV headlines or Saturdays football game statistic's on demand yet for some "Unknown" (yet to be revealed) reasoning they couldn't tell you if their own life depended on it what else gets said of God besides a short one short sentence found in John 3:16?

Why are so many bent on insisting they are of the cult of the "Accepted" of God? That word "Cult" also being recognized as being the root word for "Cultured" and/or "Cultivated"?

The irony of the name "Culture" also being given to the test more often seen in a doctors office which proves a specific "Strain" (genus) of an "Infection". Exactly how does any cultured people(s) prove its "strain" or "genus"?

The culture is a semi controlled environment that is otherwise conducive for the growth of a certain micro organism.

In the earth what would such a "Divine spiritual Culture" look like that is also conducive for the children of God to not only grow in but also be "Proved" in?

James 3:9
With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. NIV

Exactly how much does any person have to say that ALSO participates in what God is DOING in this world?

People are quick to suggest in keeping the "Main Thing the Main thing" yet what does that mean? Especially to those who have yet to have been informed as would have Moses or Joshua?

Informed of what though?

Why is it so hard for the thoughts that lend themselves to the formation of Christ In a person to take root (be conceived) today?

Could it have anything to do with the labors of Hollywood, Aliens and/or lies that have breached the realm in which we now live?

Could it maybe have to do with the tidal wave of twisted notions that speak only to and only about demonic possession(s)? And that while "Ignoring" the otherwise fruitful notion which suggest, "Christ In You"?

Being asked to BELIEVE in the words "Christ in You' sounds much like a possession to me?

Exactly what is the divine diet the spirit of Christ hungers for as would a "Fetus" in the womb?

John 4:34
"My food ," said Jesus, "is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. NIV

Phil 1:29-30
For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him, since you are going through the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.
NIV

John 5:39-40
You diligently study  the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life.
NIV

Now wait a minute! Why then is it that so many who try to teach while they themselves progressively learn as if to themselves how preach to others? They go on to labor so hard in order to emphasize "The work of God is Done" and has been since the sixth day of creation? To then also preach that God and Christ are One and the same?

Even in this world what happens when small children receive "Mixed Messages"? Not to mention confusing "Signals (signs) along the "Way" that continue on the journey with them? And many of those never to be corrected by the ones who were in error or others who suggest they also Love them as does God?

Why are children being taught to place what Mom or Dad have to say above what God says? Does God somehow Love less that Mom and Dad or any group of people who've chosen to agree with each other?

 Exactly who is the driving dynamo that's also ultimately defining all that Love is in this world? Exactly who is it that's standing WITH God and the same Love that also defines this same God that is Love?

Why does Jesus suggest He's has need of finishing the work of the one which also sent Him into this world?

Why so many different opinions of God? Opinions that have and are being based only upon what a certain strain of humanity are teaching ABOUT God?

Food for thought MAYBE, yet what type of food does Jesus defend?

Join with others in following my example , brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you.

For, as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.

Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things.

But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body. NIV

2 Cor 12:9-10

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. NIV

We live in a world where "Proportion" plays a significant role not only in terms of measurement, but in other ways where the realm of rationale invites us to consider "Severity" (quantity vs quality).

In the United States we have "Misdemeanor" and "Felony" crimes. The status of either being predetermined by terms of punishment should someone be found guilty.

Acts 17:31
For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. NIV

All that's needed outside of the already established system in terms of "Findings" is the "Sufficient" evidence, that will support those findings. Those findings and for all practical purposes that already stand opposed to those accused which are then Re-viewed by a competent jury who ultimately decide's guilt or innocence.

1 Cor 6:2
Do you not know that the saints will judge the world ? And if you are to judge the world , are you not competent to judge trivial cases? NIV

In the lite of how Paul presents the context (framework) of his message above, would it be fair to ask is there such a thing as (misdemeanor) Trivial "Sin"?

And if ALL "Sin" were observed as the direct result of "Ignorance and Unbelief" who then could be found guilty having claimed they have "Believed"? And that with ALL of their heart, mind, soul and strength?

Jesus did NOT say man shall live by SOME of the words from the mouth of God but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.

Is it too large of a gap and too much of a stretch to suggest that nothing God has said in one instance will NEVER oppose what He has also said somewhere else? To then find ourselves standing by faith when or if Gods word is ever presented as if in competition  (contest) with itself?

Could that be why it is said that In Christ it is ALWAYS "Yes" and the "Amen" is heard?

1 Cor 6:3-4
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

Take note that even in the earth when a jury is seated not all of those pooled will ultimately qualify for "Duty" for one reason or another. One must also ask when weighing only a sampling of humanity, does this type of earth bound jury selection somehow meet with a "Divine" standard of Jurisprudence?

Especially when one honestly weighs two thoughts that somehow seem to wage war against each other?

Is it possible both can be true at the same time? Why do many seem to have to do away with one opinion before the other can be accepted as True and Applicable today?

Either there is a "Hell" that represents the Godly affects of an acceptable type of Fear or there is "NO Hell", which more often results in a vision where "No One" is seen going to hell therefore No One "Fears" God?

So which is it? Cast the first stone or judge yourself so that you will NOT be found guilty? Exactly who is the type of man who always wants to be found guilty of the charge?

Did no one throw a stone that day because they all knew in their hearts they'd committed adultery OR because they ALL understood the equality (status) of sin?

John 8:7
If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."
NIV

So what do we do, give everyone a free pass when they've been caught in sin? And that because it has become a well known fact because so many have taught so well that ALL men carry in them the guilt of the sinful nature?

Isa 5:20

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil , who put darkness for light and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. NIV

Once the evidence has been "Re-presented" to the jury they will be given the opportunity to vicariously view (Consider) the likeness of the same scenario that's been "Recreated"?

I say all this not as if to "Try" the totality of Gods likeness, but to expose the potential which humanity Re-presents to itself as if a trickle down affect. As such that looks to circumvent the ONLY one who is justified in ALL He says and does.

When the thought remains supreme that some are actually going to hell for the remainder of eternity, at what point has/does the thought "Who demanded such Justice" come into focus?

If the "Disciples" of Christ TRULY are our teachers today as we also suggest that we're "Believers" in Christ, what did Peter DO when some were not only found out to be lying to the Holy Spirit, but when given a second chance they chose once more to continue to Lie to God?

I think it to be a good entry level question, Does God measure mankind with the same measuring instrument men do?

Another might be, if little to nothing that takes place in this world does NOT translates in the decision making process (Judgement) of God as well find its shadow in eternity, why go through the whole thing?

Is it all for mere amusement and if so whose amusement?

In this particular blog I hope to "Cross Examine" the integrity of the self perpetuating notion(s) most seem to latch onto. For those not familiar with the term "Latch on", the imagery is that of a suckling infant feeding on the breast.

I'm not as focused on isolating a specific use of words, but what it is that's being "Realized" by the hearer of anything said.

It's a sweet spot within the realm of "Effectual" communication when two or more find themselves able to convey precise images through the use of words.

I enjoy the words "Effectual" and "Compacted" used in the KJV to express such a point. The image here in my thinking is one that agree's with when God actually "Formed" from something so lowly as dirt and in terms of carefully being "Compacted" before leaning over and breathing life into this formed being.

Somehow one can see hands reaching out to shape and form every aspect of this creature which not only began with the humbled beginnings of dirt to be tread upon, but also later to be used a a living example of something God says will also prove to be far superior in another day.

Eph 4:16
From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. KJV

Does it become clearer how the same creator could later suggest to the man that "Loves" himself will also Learn to (edify itself) Love His wife? To what end though?

Especially when considering exactly were it was the materials used to make woman also came from within "Man" (Adam)?

Eph 5:28-30
He who loves his wife loves himself .

After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body.
NIV

Eph 5:32-33
This is a profound mystery — but I am talking about Christ and the church.

However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself , and the wife must respect her husband. NIV

In terms of what God is building, what God says is possible when a woman tears down her own house with her own hands, how does that speak to so many other consideration that might oppose the performance of God and the outcome of much more?

How many are asking themselves tough questions while demanding of themselves a righteous response about the true nature and Mercy of God?

Instead of asking "What if Adam refused to ALSO eat of the fruit offered to him by Eve"?

Why not ask about what the Mercy of God looked like in that moment now that we know today the lamb was slain "Before" the earth and everything in it was formed?

In terms of interaction with God and because He is God, whose to question ANY conditions he sets before ANY man in ANY season of time? The same type which agree's with What? What God has also said in another place or time or season of humanity?

In terms of timing OR ANYTHING God has said within the scope of time, is God ever late? Is He ALWAYS on time? Does He as God ever get ahead of himself?

In terms of an Acceptable "Excuse", what would one sound like in the "Ears of God"? And when hearing the word excuse, the 'Excuse for "What"?

And what is "Justification" in the sight of God if NOT an attempt at the Displacement/Replacement of "Righteousness"?

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

Is there such a thing as a time barrier between you and ANYONE over the course of time whenever a man attempts to compare and/or somehow distance himself from someone else?

Rom 2:1-2

You, therefore, have no excuse , you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. Now we know that God's judgment against those who do such things is based on truth.
NIV

In terms of that same mercy, "What if Sapphira the wife of Ananias refused to agree with her husband when Peter ALSO inquired of her (separately) about the money (realized profit) from the sale of property?

Why isn't it being asked of both scenario's and in terms of the Mercy Of God believers who suggest they also depend upon, "Where was their individual spiritual "discernment" in the moment? The type of discernment that would have served them differently in terms of outcome if they were to have righteously applied it?

Have you ever asked yourself "Why do so many seem to rush to the aid of their own gender" when they read these stories? Stories God says have been recorded for our our warning and examples? Why do so many approach these stories if it's NOT possible for an individual to judge a matter without getting bogged down with gender specific's?

How does all the above then fold into the dough when we then go on to study and believe, There's neither Jew Nor Greek, slave nor free or the difference of Male and Female the in the place we as believers suggest we're ALL going to? To only then force ourselves to try and remember God is NOT the respecter of the person?

Could it be that what God does show respect for is the spiritual mind those who do believe also choose to tap into?

God says of the blind and ignorant if they had known they would NOT have crucified whom?

So in the absence of the mind of Christ, what brilliance does that leave man with? The Wisdom of God he (man) then taps into if NOT the mind of Christ? Does the seemliness of any excuse of anyone NOT knowing then fall to the blame of God?

Even in the natural what does the plea look and sound like that also truly represents the identity of one that does NOT know? Wouldn't it first have to be established what a child is before the appropriate punishment is dispensed?

Why do so many continue to plead the case of the said "Child" despite what God says has been made known about Him? This child also being defined as one who TRULY does NOT know"? And if the part of an Identity does require "being known" who then has truly considered their own claim made?

Is there such thing as a spiritual "Paternity" Test? As if spiritually describing the fertility of not only the seed, but also the soil in which this same seed has been "Planted"?

Luke 8:13-14
They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away.
NIV

Why would any TRUE child also continue to take a "Stand" outside of the camp or Righteousness"  of God while also blaming Him for their Hunger and thirst that could otherwise be satisfied within the camp of God?

I too would have also assumed same until I continued to plow even further into the continuation of Gods words...something that goes against the grain of those who choose to plead ignorance....

Under the prelude, "I Am my fathers son", "I can ONLY do what I SEE the Father doing", I only speak what the Father is saying, how can one then blame God for their blindness? Especially while knowing that God says to those who are in Christ Only the YES and the Amen are heard?

If everything In this world also agree's with everything "God Is Saying" at any given moment, how then can anyone be found guilty of sin? In terms of moving the property pins which mark out the boundaries of the kingdom of God, why is the a picture painted of a camp that has no laws on the inside yet immediately outside those walls, the "Law" comes into effect?

And before you answer that question as if to reassure the heart of all that you believe to be true, examine the following more closely and discover the "Context" of God as though He is not only the author of creation, but also the one who framed the worlds ONLY He can explain and even smaller matters very precisely..

Rom 1:16
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.
NIV

Rom 1:18-19
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.
NIV

John 15:20-23
Remember the words I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates me hates my Father as well.

John 15:24-25
If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law:

 'They hated me without reason.'
NIV

It's one thing to remain confident in the throws of all you ONCE claimed you did NOT know, yet to NOW suggest you DO Know, what does that then suggest about the power of Forgiveness?

On a quest that also depends on the hopes of increasingly discovering more exactly just how "Holy" God truly is. at what point does a living sacrifice consider itself to have also died to self?

Will our own salvation only prove to be when the last comparative is standing?

The same association and comparative standard presently being acquitted (mankind) we also go to great lengths in order to RE-prove our own "Imperfection" as if in our own defense?

Jesus says those who love MUCH have also been forgiven of MUCH...yet what does the look like when read in the reverse order? Those who have been forgiven of LITTLE will also love.....?

And that while telling ourselves we've believed God and are making every effort to live as if by way of every word that has proceeded from the mouth of God?

And if that doesn't prove to be worthy enough, we also tell ourselves that "While in this world we are being made LIKE Him? Really?

Remade and that by way of whose Grace (power)? That further to suggest that God is satisfied with the self governance of individual progress made is also to suggest that Your pace is what? Also satisfactory to God?

Is it any wonder why One God, One Christ and One Spirit seem to take on so many DIFFERENT personages here in the earth? Christians are not called to be like each other, no instead we're ALL called to be "Holy As I am Holy" thus saith the Lord.......

Christians are called to be LIKE minded (of One mind) yet with many different perspective on ONE and the same PURPOSE, which also suggest 'WHAT" if not the Will of God?

So unless YOU and I are that great "I AM" is it still any true wonder what it is God will be judging?

What if ones vision of self never spiritually never matures while here on earth? And the reason being because they've managed that same process as if FOR themselves?

If not remade, how then can you truthfully testify and on whose behalf as it otherwise weighs in on the truthful consideration of a "New Creation""?

He who is the utmost representative of the true Godly (God Like) "Spiritual" consideration?

Was Sapphira's death about the money OR about her having lied to God? Lied to God about what though? Does context truly matter as it concerns what she lied about or does the truth have EVERYTHING to do with a heart that prepared itself to somehow Lie to God and that in advance?

How does hatred teach anyone to loathe themselves? Especially when considering the source from which everything came and as such in a very specific "Order"?

The personage that despises themselves has truly been taught how to despise "Whom" else?

Prov 14:1-2
The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.

He whose walk is upright fears the LORD, but he whose ways are devious despises him. NIV

Philem 6
That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you ..............in Christ Jesus.
KJV

Yet what has those who confess Christ as Lord believed to be to be True? True to interpret as everything we've assumed to be encased in Christ that is in us who are also IN HIM?

I read No lie was found In Him? Was that only back then or will it still be "Applicable" on another day many refer to as Judgement?

As such that is True ONLY because of all they've found they also suggest they "Believe" within ALL that they ARE? And as such despite what time, change and social evolution within that "Time" tries to present diffferently?

In terms of "All" that a person believes to be "True" how often do we as part of what was also created forget to acknowledge everything God also considers to be Good?

More often (and due to our own comfort) the social mindset that governs the thought life within a social setting tends to only consider what is "Displeasing" to God.

It is written where God said "It is Good" having finalized certain things (created) in the beginning. When we're paying attention, God also speaks of certain circumstances within which (context) certain things He created were "Placed" He also speaks of those circumstances "It is NOT Good".

One specific set of circumstances was that which relates to Man finding himself "Alone".

What many fail to examine are the type of thoughts and depth of the understanding the Holy Spirit lends itself to in the conveyance of what gets said. 

Why is so important to not only hear what's been said but also just as important to pay close attention to the actions that follow? As if to not only to accompany what gets said but also as if proving what gets said?

Exactly how well has mankind understood this "Concept"?

In terms of Loving himself, why didn't God give Adam someone just like him?

Not only for the sake biology involved but as something even greater, why did God take from Adam ANY component of his being and make Him a mate?

Whether made from the rib or from his foot, is that the essence of the point when the value of the meaningful source gets lost over time?

Why is the order of operation(s) so important? Whether talking about a math formula or process of building a house, certain considerations must come first BEFORE the next can even be considered, correct?

In terms of the god given comparison, how simple is "Just as God is the Head of Christ" or Christ is the head of every man? Just as equal how simple is "Man is the Glory of God" and "Woman is the Glory of Man"?

Who is willing to oppose how God compliments this same imagery of headship? Why did Christ NOT choose even as few as one woman to be One of His twelve Apostle's?

What is it about "Gender" today that allows the spiritual order of things God created to get bogged down in this type of gender specific logic?

Instead of defaulting to the weak "Chicken and the egg" mantra in terms of which came first, why not stay with the origin(s) of what God has established (built) and that for the sake of the "Gods otherwise Not so obvious wisdom" that seems to so easily get abandoned?

In terms of building and the reverse order of sound building practices exactly how do people ever so slowly abandon God? People will make the observation about taking God out of the schools or out of government yet they'll ignore the order of godly operation in their own homes?

From which many homes (families) or nations historically speaking never manage to recover from this type of spiritual usurping once order is lost? Exactly how does a house and/or kingdom become divided against itself?

In terms of the order of operations why didn't God simply roll out some more clay as was used to make Adam (like a cookie dough) and carve out this being Adam himself was given the liberty to name "Woman"?

Do you think that Adam at any time forgot where woman came from? How about today when a man looks at his wife? Does it ever cross his mind that when he (man) shows his wife mercy, he's also loving himself at the same time?

Do you think that woman today (more specifically Christian woman) even remotely relate back to this Truth as they look to link all their thoughts together in terms of the net results of what they "Believe" as well the importance as to why they do?

Has this type of reflection lost it's rightful place in terms of the effectual communication  of ones faith In God?

Why is that what most Christians consider to be "Good Works" more often take place outside the home?

Why can't  it begn to register the essence of everything that gets said and done in this world as compared to all that is "Presently" known to be true in Heaven (eternally) does presently also affect what happens next?

Why is the term "Known (or believed) to be True" so important?

The realm where phrases such as the "Lessor of two Evils", personal Faith or maybe "Do what you're going to do and Let God sort out the rest" are being tabled as meaningful words and phrases put into practice in the not so obvious mutual realm of "Consideration".

Considerations that will and do impact not only the future but the person(s) through whom their said "Participation" takes place?

That place of consideration that's otherwise invisible where the soul of man vicariously visits in order to weigh not only his own thoughts but also the thoughts and opinions of others that have been managed well enough to find even a temporary home there.

Some might even agree with the Holy spirit and refer to this place as the "Heart" and others the "Conscience" where the soul of the person then picks and chooses what may or may NOT matter and/or remain there.

What portion of a man is it that somehow connects to and/or associates with everything that has been stored in his own heart?

Who's contributed to the content of any mans heart?

That to mean ALL that's been deemed worthy of keeping stored there and for whatever those reason(s) "Eventually" prove to be or Not?

One of the first "Matters" a true believer in Christ must face is, "Does Jesus talk only to hear himself Talk? If "No", who then ARE the recordings of Jesus words speaking to and why?

Was He only conveying what was on His mind to a few chosen individuals (Apostle's and their close associates) who are now physically dead?

How does any "Thought" become "Self" perpetuating? As such that lives on no matter "Who" it is that speaking those same words having been judged by the individual to be "True"?

Why do men hold funerals and for whom? Those who are dead of course, but what part of their 3 part being (spirit, soul, body) has truthfully died and is seen fit to bury?

You more often hear people suggesting to their dying"Loved Ones", "I'll always have, hold and KEEP you in my heart" yet exactly how fickle do we as humans ultimately prove to be given enough time and change(s) to our circumstances?

Some might even suggest having "Moved On"?

Once again who are funerals for the living or for those who Truly ARE being REALIZED as "Dead"?

In terms of words that DO eventually manifest (come to life) and those that never die, what has God said about His words that will NOT return to Him "Void"?

Void (empty) of the purpose(s) for which He sent them to "Accomplish"? Is there a reason God tells those who will hear, that His words are Alive, Active and sharper than a double edged sword? And in another place concerning the Life apportioned by God?

Luke 20:38
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive ."
NIV

Why can't the conclusion drawn that does have to do with "The Will of God" be as simple as "God wants Children"? Does that somehow agree with "Until you become as one of theses little ones you'll Not see the kingdom of God"? And even further bring that next to "You Must be born again and that of God"

Why does such a "Consideration" seem to require getting bogged down in "Who those children truly are"?

Why doesn't the consideration NOT fit which suggest that "We are ALL Gods Children" as we now find ourselves"?

What is there to judge if all mankind are truly believed to be "Gods Children"? Without proportion, severity and/or reward weighing in on this matter who is ti that should have within them a righteous Fear of God who are also His "Children"?

If mankind were caught only looking at and considering himself, what might mankind fail to see? Will such a man fail to see where this same God informs mankind of the truth that 1/3 of the heavenly host that were created before men were also "Fell"?

Fell "Yes", but fell from what and "Why"?

And as such "Here and Now"?

It's one thing to stand on someone else's shoulders in order to enable another to see, yet is this still True if they're both standing in water that's "Over" their heads!

Why has religion and religious wars always revolved around everything which defines who "The Children of God are"? As such here and now that does inhabit the earth in a particular shape and form that dwells among men?

Is there any significance and/or substance to the notion that God does create with words? Real enough to you to where those words then interpret as "His words that have become flesh" and now dwell among us?

If it were all kept in perspective what is the human body in the Big picture that God is believed to have painted? And in terms of the "Potential" of an internal host that's also "Alive" or NOT, what can a man say or do that has ONLY to do with this divine potential ONLY God can provide?

Why is it so far fetched of a notion, where some people are a "Temporal" example of "Dead People Walking" when the one speaking is their creator who is also the ONLY one who can and does "Give" life to those as it pleases Him?

Why do the Apostle's who belong to Christ refer to the dead as those who are "Asleep" as well when God speaks in parables He suggest "Wake Up Oh sleeper" to those who are NOT in Christ so that Christ CAN shine upon them?

Why are humans inherently afraid of the Dark and some ALL their lives?

Maybe many are inherently justified in their fear of the dark and in "Terms" of what IS TRUE despite all that we presently can NOT see?

Especially when hearing AND "Truthfully" considering  an "Outer Darkness" where God says there will be "Weeping and the grinding of Teeth" throughout the remainder of eternity beyond the first death? What if this "Notion" that concerns the "Dark" has been misrepresented by men?

What if fear of the dark were intended to be an inherent, fearful yet subtle reminding notion of what does lie ahead for some?

Exactly where is the "Outer Darkness" God speaks of as if the address where those who choose NOT to be partakers of the "Son-ship" (adoption) He offers?

And that under the truthful terms of Christ BEING the Alpha and Omega and "The ALL in ALL" despite what any man thinks and fails to "SEE" in the heart he (man) also Considers to be his own?

The God I hear from, fear, believe and even more "Love" says, Everything in the earth belongs to Him, yet how many question that by way of suggesting all that belongs to their personage while also being here?

Exactly what is "Pro-vision"? And that BEING in direct proportion to what a man can or can NOT see and hear?

Exactly why was it found to be a punishable Crime committed against God where 1/3 of the angelic realm of heavenly host He (God) created were also cast down to a place prepared for them as well for those who would believe their lies above what God says is "True" and participating (Active and Alive)?

Is it all ONLY a matter of "Waking Up" OR does waking up have everything to do with the first stage of Growing Up and that In Christ?

In terms of agreeing with God, where the earth and everything found to be in it are a shadow of ALL that's true in Heaven that does belong to Him, "How do you find"?

Not only your own prayers "Belong to and For His name sake which suggest "Gods will be done on earth as is in heaven" but also....

1 John 4:17-18
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. NIV

In all this being said, is it also safe to suggest the that if a person has any fear in them they're directly bound for hell?

I think that type of notion to be even more unwise and ill informed in the Truest sense!

Why? Because there is an acceptable type of fear that will lead some into the wisdom of God and there is also a "Justifiable" hatred towards all that God considers to be "Evil' in His sight.

Stumbling is still stumbling whether it be over a "Boulder" or a grain of sand.....yet what does one then see the day they do "Believe" that by Him and through Him were all things created both Great and small?

How and why can anyone find peace and rest in the midst of so much unreliable "Information"? Is it possible the introduction to so many lies and unknown variables can some how out pace what is True?

Many are willing to claim that God gave man a mind. A mind that is superior to the surrounding minds found in all the other creatures He also created, but is that enough?

And why does God give His spirit that has also been endowed with the "Mind of Christ" if what God has created has no further need in his (mans) decision making processes?

Acts 9:31
Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria enjoyed a time of peace. It was strengthened; and encouraged by the Holy Spirit, it grew in numbers, living in the fear of the Lord .
NIV

To be continued.....

What time is it?

What does the evidence appear as when someone knows they've been forgiven? Why is there a need to express that you've realized an "Offense" against another and have since been forgiven?

How does one prove they've been forgiven of God and why even entertain the thought of the need to be forgiven of God?

"Why" would someone even begin to feel the need to somehow prove such a consideration?

In either case, would the evidence prove to be more of the same after having confessed something to have been an "Offense" against God? Will it be business as usual? As if nothing has changed?

Does God only suggest to the sinner to "Repent" in order to somehow make Him (God) feel better?

Make Him feel better so that He as your God (creator) will not strike you down with a lightning bolt or cause the earth to open and swallow you?

Especially while knowing there was and still remains the "Need" for mutual edification that stems from forgiveness?

From where does forgiveness realize its origin if NOT from the "Mercy Of God" who is also at the apex of even the thought of "A creator" when someone suggest they do Believe in "Their" Creator?

Is your creator different than the suggestion of their being ONLY ONE Creator?

Once again, "How does one prove they've been forgiven of God and why even entertain the thought of of the "Need" to be forgiven of a God (creator)?

Forgiveness being such that is also still "Being" expressed despite what you might be "Feeling" at any given moment and that having been coupled with the thought of an absentee God or at least invisible to the natural eyes?

Truly, what do you believe with all your heart?

What is Truly being expressed when someone suggest they don't "Feel" forgiven or they haven't realized the benefit of the thoughts of having been forgiven?

Many don't seek out the way of the Lord more completely and that for many different reasons.

The word of God says, "He came to His own, yet His own did NOT receive Him". Do we see the image of a helping hand being extended, yet the hand of another being withdrawn with their head following suit turning in the opposite direction?

What was it that proved they did NOT receive Him? There's a credible/reliable report that a certain sect of society many years ago killed a man that "Claimed" to be from God, yet not only what did they choose to believe, but what do you chose to believe?

At the "Cross Roads" of this consideration is where many are undecided and stuck.

They don't know who the "They" are nor do they want to be known for who they are or recognized as the proverbial "Them" that will be found guilty and deserving the wrath of God. This certain wrath that is also required to be "BELIEVED" is coming in order to also somehow see it for all that it is....

In short terms, 'They don't know what they believe beyond doubt".

For the record the inference of the word "They" in any context is more often not a term of endearment when relatively speaking.

There's an old phrase that suggest the state of "Analysis Paralysis". In my mind this status would agree with what God considers to be the state of being "Luke Warm" as opposed to "Being" decided and a living reflective life that is either Hot or Cold.

I've often wondered if the etymology behind these words were also being decided at the same time it was how to best define and in turn blame what woman go through during "Meno-PAUSE"?

The biological crossroads where a woman has few choices left before she transitions to the reality where she knows in her mind and heart that she no longer is able to "Produce" a child from HER womb?

Most everyone has a favorite song that takes them back to a place in time where only memories CAN continue to exist, yet often times it's those humble beginnings of those same memories that once lead us away from God yet we'll continue to hold on to them for some "Undecided" reason.

I believe there are very few accidents in this world, especially in the "Light" of the true mercy of God who makes every attempt to reveal himself to all mankind for the purpose of there being a more exact manifestation/representation that's accessible.

At some point His words were NOT enough and then there's another point in time where the validation of His personage (visitation) will have either proved to be convincing enough or NOT. You can choose to either play this same story either forward or in reverse, yet the story line should produce the same conclusion when you discover what is "True.

Many also have their favorite excuses and that because they continue to work so well. What is it that makes them favored? The fact that no one has found a 'Way" to take those excuses to task? And that because everybody seems to know all too well what makes every man "Imperfect" even better than the next?

Some assume they know "All" they personally need to know about a TRUE life that's been lived in the sight of God and that being based on what they want to know.

Others are satisfied with living off the residuals of what someone else has told them about "Their God" yet the evidence does not accompany there liveliest attempts at exhibiting same..

Quite frankly, there are no short cuts in Christ. The only way to be reconciled to God is by way of the lively examples the "Living God" has set before those who are willing to approach them as if those lively exhibits are "For" and will "serve" as the warning, example(s) and learning of others.

Those specific living examples that also had to go "Through" essence of one and the same sanctification process that Only God can Righteously orchestrate having been suited for their "Time".

People across Gods green earth are always asking what time is it" or "What day is it"?

What they fail to consider is,  "Today is the day of "Your" salvation.

Especially when truthfully considering the "Heart of the Matter"!

Are you a child of God or something that only considers itself to be some THING God has created? What is your reality that also Governs what you say and do while here?

How do you find the the definition of the "Grace" of God that is also the power to "Become" the sons of God from among ALL that He's Created?

Rom 8:19-21
The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.

For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
NIV

Why has the thought of "Salvation" become something that ONLY pertains to the "Way" the "Individual " thinks and/or assumes to be True? That being who thinks within themselves that their arrival will somehow change the results of everything that's NOT been Done?

Why are so many focused on what can't be done which also defines and edifies whom? Are we only talking about the absence of Gods "Grace" or the interaction of Gods Grace that is presently in the form of a "Promise Made"?

The righteousness of a promise that's been made to those who WILL choose to see themselves WAY God has prepared for them to not only see but also recognize as "Provision"?

What is required though? That you believe? And to think what the corruption of this world does NOT want you to see and Believe with every ounce of its being?

To then Truthfully try to reconcile what God says about the Kingdom or House that's divided against itself that will NOT stand when the heavens and the earth below are shaken?

Was the good intent of God intended to produce and then reveal "The sons of God?

If "Yes" what will also prove to be the evidence "They" Truly are the sons of God? And as such only by way of all that Gods says "WILL" also define who those sons are?

The words of God Were spoken with the intent of being the FRAME of the world and everything in it that does belong to Him, instead of the world being the frame of what God may or may NOT have said and done.

Many think or assume it to be true there are many "Way(s)" of God, while forgetting there's ONLY "One way" to be reconciled to the only God that WILL prove to be "True".

People have been seduced into thinking there's MORE than one way and that while ignoring the back biting that takes place within the one God has selected to be the bride of His One and Only (begotten) Son.

Everything Christ came and died for speaks to "Increase" and "Decrease".

Whether it be "More" in terms of Joy unspeakable that's found ONLY in Him, Faith that needs to increase, or whether it be what is "Just" and that based on how little is known about God.

Maybe not so much for how little one does know about God or such a capacity, but more importantly how infinitely important it is to recognize more each day just how vast the wisdom of God Truly is.

Some seek only what they perceive to be the bare minimum whose happy ending is portrayed with them ultimately "Going" to heaven. Going to heaven "Maybe" yet going to heaven to do what?

They've come to the place of knowing, to where they've since been convinced or have convinced themselves they've listened and because they're convinced they've listened they've "Heard" all they "Need" to hear as if the spirit of the Lord has ceased to dispense His wisdom.

This too because of what they've been taught and have believed.

Whether it be the interaction with their job, family, friends, wife, kids, husband, home, health, happiness or all the above, why doesn't it seem to be there's still that certain "Something" they've yet to invest having held back for themselves a larger portion of self?

I hear people all the time talk about losing their own identity while in the the relationships they at one time or another chose to be in. Always looking for a 60/40 split where someone else is the primary giver.

In terms of being Holy, who is that's presently at a loss?

The one who is Holy or the one in need of being made "Holy"?

Rom 1:18-20
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.

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

If I were to ask where "There" is as mentioned below, where would we end up looking to?

Matt 13:58
And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.
NIV

If I were to ask, why does darkness NOT understand the presence of light, what might one conclude?

John 1:5
The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood  it.
NIV

1 Cor 2:7-10
 None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. However, as it is written:

"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"— but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit.
NIV

Who are the "Those" the words of God defines as "Those who Love Him"?

Are they defined by mere words any Good "Liar" can speak or are they defined by the Heart only God can righteously "Interpret"?

Exactly who is that's interpreting the hearts of men for them? Who's telling men what they "Need" to hear to where men remain in search of something "More" in God they don't already "know"?

The imagery of Hiding behind all that words alone can't describe has more than one face. Especially in the light of truth that depicts "Faith" as the "Substance of things Hoped for"!

Is that substance those same things men covet they also Can't take with them when their spirit, soul and bodies have been separated? Why the need for a "New Body"?

A new body as if an address that's divinely designed and suited to accommodate the spirit and soul? The same spirit and soul who without a new (Spiritual) embodiment will forever be without an address both can inhabit?

The reality is found in the stones (Rock) the Lord will use to build the house (body) He will inhabit that have also come from where? Is a grain of sand seen as a stone to the ant? Does the sand of the seashore appear as tiny particles that were one a part of a much bigger "Rock"?

Many hide behind lies much like a hunter that hides behind his carefully thought out and painted disguise which gives him the advantage.

His present advantage being that which allows the hunter to blend in with his "Present" surroundings!

Take that advantage away? Can you then see the naked disadvantage for all that it is NOT?

Gen 3:21-22

21 The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them. 22 And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever."
NIV

Mark 10:18
"Why do you call me good ?" Jesus answered. "No one is good — except God alone.
NIV

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

Matt 12:35

NIV

Gen 47:16-19

"Then bring your livestock," said Joseph. "I will sell you food in exchange for your livestock, since your money is gone." So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and he gave them food in exchange for their horses, their sheep and goats, their cattle and donkeys. And he brought them through that year with food in exchange for all their livestock. 

When that year was over, they came to him the following year and said, "We cannot hide from our lord the fact that since our money is gone and our livestock belongs to you, there is nothing left for our lord except our bodies and our land.

Why should we perish before your eyes — we and our land as well?

Buy us and our land in exchange for food, and we with our land will be in bondage to Pharaoh. Give us seed so that we may live and not die, and that the land may not become desolate."
NIV

Lev 9:10-11
On the altar he burned the fat, the kidneys and the covering of the liver from the sin offering, as the LORD commanded Moses; the flesh and the hide he burned up outside the camp.
NIV
