Touching A Dead Body

Touching A Dead Body

If one of God's holy and faithful angels was sent to earth with perfect scrolls written by God's finger that no one could question, once the messenger was gone, within short order the message from the scrolls would be corrupted!

Galatians 6:8 For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

Why? Because the flesh is corrupted in its ways, and its thinking by sin. Soon fights and argument would ensue, judgments, and hates, jealousy and fits of anger would occur by those debating what is the true message of the scrolls.

1 Corinthians 15:50 Now I say this, brothers,{The word for "brothers" here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."} that flesh and blood can't inherit the Kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.

This is the fallacy of those thinking mankind can restore truth on earth. It is impossible, but do you know why?

Once upon a time a man had a brilliant idea, so he thought, he would create a machine that would take old bread and recreated into bread without yeast. So the new bread would be fresh having no yeast or corruption, he would take the old making it new which would make him rich.

After many years or research his machine looked impressive, and sounded good, but when he put corrupted bread into it, all he could ever get back was corrupted bread. Even if there was just a little trace of yeast it corrupted the whole new batch.

1 Corinthians 5:6 Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?

1 Corinthians 4:7 For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn't receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

Once mankind was cut off from the Spirit of God they corrupted and died from the contaminant called sin. Research, reading the bible, good works, and what ever else will not take the sin out of us, and/or yeast.

Religion teaches we can cleanses ourselves from yeast by studying the bible, attending meetings, doing good works for others, giving money to a religion. But it does not solve the problems, those things make us feel better about ourselves, but they are dead works, why?

Simply, because they cannot removed the sin in us!
The machine is impressive, it sound good, and looks good, but the end results is it does not produce a new lump of unleavened bread.

1 Peter 3:21 This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you--not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Truth put into that machine will always be corrupted even if its only a trace of yeast found in us, it will corrupte into fermenting the whole lump of truth.

James 3:8 But nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 3:9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in the image of God. 3:10 Out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so. 3:11 Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?

This is the problem when we teach, or a religion teaches they can save you by knowledge of something they have discovered, and that discovery will change us into a new lump.

Haggai 2:11 "Thus says Yahweh of Armies: Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying, 2:12 'If someone carries holy meat in the fold of his garment, and with his fold touches bread, stew, wine, oil, or any food, will it become holy?'" The priests answered, "No."
2:13 Then Haggai said, "If one who is unclean by reason of a dead body touch any of these, will it be unclean?" The priests answered, "It will be unclean." 2:14 Then Haggai answered, "'So is this people, and so is this nation before me,' says Yahweh; 'and so is every work of their hands. That which they offer there is unclean.

The truth is, we are not truth, and God restored truth to mankind thousand's of years ago in Christ Jesus. He is the truth, and the way, he is the Word of God, without yeast! Nor is he a dead body! But we cannot save this flesh from corruption, nor clean it by teachings. If we think so we are touching a dead body believing we are removing its corruption, but soon it will stink!

Romans 6:4 We were buried therefore with him through baptism to death, that just like Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.

Rom. 7:18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don't find it doing that which is good.

God gave us, a new life, who's life? He did not give us a mixture of our old life permeated with yeast, and some of Christ life so we could corrupted into one more false religion. God gave us a new life, a new lump, the Christ where all truth is restore, guarded for mankind salvation.

1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.

Ephesians 5:9 for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth.

1 Corinthians 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old yeast, neither with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

Christ life, is the truth, which is why its is eternal life without sin, which sin corrupts us and our thinking. He is incorruptible, the truth that comes down to us, but how? By Spirit. Now stop we know how this frighten false religion the subject of Spirit. But the bible, and the apostle John, under Spirit stated that it is the Spirit that is truth!

1 John 5:6 This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

John 16:13 However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.

Yes, the truth comes to us from above, how? When we are accounted dead to sin in our flesh, in Christ. Not reformed in our flesh, like false religion practices lusting for perfect flesh, to do perfect research, to remove corruption of sin from our old self.

1 Corinthians 2:16 "For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him?"{Isaiah 40:13} But we have Christ's mind.

Titus 1:15 To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.

The problems corruption of sin has in all of us is it longs for perfection in words, contract, the bible, the written word, why because we natural corrupted the written word by our own yeast.

2 Peter 2:19 promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.

2 Corinthians 5:16 Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.

Romans 8:8 Those who are in the flesh can't please God.

So the illusion become if we can uncorrupted it, we will find life. In other words, our efforts give us salvation, a work of law. We demand others and fight with them to come back to the truth, but the nature is corruption and it will never stop, until God makes all things new.

James 3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth.

Revelation 21:5 He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." He said, "Write, for these words of God are faithful and true."

God in his wisdom gave us a haze outline of truths, but it is the Spirit that unlocks those truths for us. The problems for the the yeast-flesh is it does not understand what truth we are being taught by Spirit as God's children, because the flesh is not God's children.

Romans 8:5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

God's Spirit in Christ translates us into His Son's kingdom of love. Without love, that is, God, who he is love, there is no truth. Love unlocks God, who is truth. Without love, we are trying to save ourselves by falsly called knowledge.

1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, "Things which an eye didn't see, and an ear didn't hear, which didn't enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him."{Isaiah 64:4}

Ephesians 1:4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without blemish before him in love;

Colossians 1:13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love;

We make God into knowledge, because we don't have a relationship with Him in Spirit and truth, which Spirit constantly speaks to us in love. We instead have a relationship with him in printed word. Which printed word causes us fear of judgment found in the nature of our flesh. When that judgment is removed by death in Christ of our flesh we start growing in a relationship with God that removes all doubt of his being evil requiring a perfect contract, and/or written word, which our own flesh demands.

Ephesians 4:15 but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Christ;

Ephesians 3:19 and to know Christ's love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

We judge by projecting our fleshly feeling into other people, which contaminants our judgments. Those judgments are not truth, they are our feelings we hate to see in someone else as evil! We are touching a dead body, when judging a dead body by our own feelings. Hence, everything we put into our flesh mind a dead mind must bring us more yeast or weeds. We judge flesh against flesh and can't figure out why no one can agree on truth?

Rom.7:19 For the good which I desire, I don't do; but the evil which I don't desire, that I practice.
7:20 But if what I don't desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me. 7:21 I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present. 7:22 For I delight in God's law after the inward man, 7:23 but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members. 7:24 What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?

Matt. 7:1 "Don't judge, so that you won't be judged.
7:2 For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you. 7:3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but don't consider the beam that is in your own eye? 7:4 Or how will you tell your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye;' and behold, the beam is in your own eye? 7:5 You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye.

But in the new creation (Spirit) the old grinding machine is dead, there is a new mind of life, Christ mind, as our head. When knowledge goes into his mind it creates life, how, by translating words into love of God, and not fear of judgment. Christ feeds that life saving words into his body, as the unleavened bread, comfort, comfort, my people.

1 John 4:16 We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.

1 John 3:14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who doesn't love his brother remains in death.

When we are perfected in love, not on this earth in written word, but in Spirit, love, we will be consumed by life. There the love of God in peace that surpass all knowledge.

Moreover, we are called out of Babylon, when we are called out of our flesh, put to death in our flesh, and made alive in Christ Jesus the Truth.

1 Peter 4:8 And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.

1 Peter 1:22 Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently:

James 1:12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.

1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:
