(egadz PH! I'm only up to Friday at 10:58 PM, in trying to get caught up in these posts! I may never get caught up the rate this thread keeps growing
)
The problem/s, therefore the conflict/s, come from ones who have accepted Christ, and the everlasting (not eternal) salvation that is a gift. (To which God placed such a conviction on them, as to bring them
to Christ.)
And, to some of these? That is well enough! Therefore there is now no condemnation to those
in Christ.
These ones in Christ, however, are not the same, as those who were in Christ, but grew (pressed on) as the "Spirit of God" grew in them. Not allowing, nor being allowed, "traditions of man" to make void the "Spirit of God" that was/is in them.
But, rather "going
on to the Father" as they confessed Jesus before men. And, placing themselves
UNDER "The
AUTHORITY of the order of Melchizadek. Thus not only being, and becoming Priests
of Christ! But, also Priests of He who
sent Christ! Thus, becoming not only a "brother"
with Christ! But, a Priest of the Most High, as well! Thus,
like Christ, preaching and teaching "the Kingdom."
Thus making the "many that are called", in their displays of sheer numbers,
CONDEMN the "few who are chosen." Because of their unbelief, which causes this lack of understanding which is seen, time and time again. In thread after thread. Post after post.
These "many called", fail "proof after proof", from God (not Christ), in their "candidacy" into this "Forever Holy Priesthood."
Jez trying to explain PH, what's going on.
Let the condemnation/s continue, eh?
