Please stop responding to me, You continue to prove you have no clue what I believe, proven by these ridiculous posts. As if I do not believe those things.
You want me to respect you show me some respect by showing you can at least learn what I believe, and not continue to be in darkness and THINK YOU KNOW.
Like I have stated earleir? It is not
you, I am responding to!
It is
these I am responding to! But, even more then that? The
influenceings that these have caused over the course of this heaven/earth age. And the
traditions they have created, and upheld, and passed "down" (if you will),
AS "traditions
of man", which makes
VOID the "WORD of God!"
Jude
4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the
only Lord God,
and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Inasmuch, as long as I've been around these forums? And, inasmuch as I've seen Jesus carrying your cross? As it seems
your cross is far too hard in
you're bearing it? And? That's
FINE! For
you! And others, as well!
But? Your
constant disdaining of, and continually
dissuadings, even to a point of teaching that the "picking up of one's
own cross, is
VERBOTEN? Referring to these one's who DO "pick up their cross", as "works FOR, and/or in the maintaining of one's Salvation?"
Quite LITERRALY? As LAUGHING In God's face!
And, as I said before, EG, Not YOU, per se! But, the "man of sin!"
The matter/s, that you are taking it PERSONALLY?
Is just an indicator, of how MUCH influence,
that "man of sin" has had on/over you!
Just as with Adam's INABILITY in taking
responsibility for HIS action/interaction with Eve, "AT THE FALL!"
In his blaming God: "
You were the one who GAVE woman to me!" Which was satan LAUGHING in Lord God's face
through Adam!
And then? You wanting
all the particulars, call it "hair splitting", from one who has picked up their cross?
And, your inability in comprehending?
Only
ONE remedy sir!
STOP carrying Christ's cross!
One can
only become Christlike, when one
takes their cross
from Christ and carry's their
OWN!
Or? In some cases? Myself included? The Father took
my cross
off Christ, and put it back
on me!
Said you're
going to handle it! Said I
could handle it!
This was after some 15-20 years of not
"answering the call", when I was asked, 2 er 3 times:
Are you READY YET?" Don't ask me how I KNEW it was the Father. Cuz, t'was just one of those cases where one just KNOWS!
In hindsight? I rather regret not answering SOONER!
T'was told? "It takes as long as it takes!"
In conclusion? Christ's being "our rest" FROM the law! Does in NO WAY mean, "EXEMPT" from the Law!
The healing that comes from, and with being IN Christ? (the tutor). Prepares one for that which comes AFTERWARDS! But, ya GOTTA "pick up yer own cross" to "experience" this!
This is what Paul was trying to "learn" the "Church!" In it's very beginning stages!
THAT? Was 2,000 YEARS AGO!
In answering the question, "Will Christ find
faith when He returns?" He surely
shall!
Fact of the matter is? The Father will NOT ALLOW Christ TO return!
Psalm 110
The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,
until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
Far as I can tell? This is accomplished by "Priests of God",
MAKING a "footstool!"
LOVING "them" into SUBMITTING themselves a footstool?
Don't
cut it!
What this "tactic"
does accomplish?
Jude
12 These are spots in your feasts of charity,
when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame;
wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
This, is what I see occurring:
14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying,
Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
There are many "believers" duped into believing that "everlasting = eternal."
This is not the case! It is, however, a "strong" delusion!
Pick up your cross! So, you may "see" the difference!
Or?
Keep your cross
with Christ?
And, you shall be
taught the difference!
Those that Christ
knows, that is!
