The Power of the Word, The Power of Endless Life

Revelation 19:13 He is clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood. His name is called "The Word of God."

The power of the written word, so very powerful, it has built generation after generation of law and order, institutions of higher learning, started wars, and end wars. It has keep family together and broke them up.

Yet, so many are confused into thinking “the written word” is the endless life of Christ who is the “Word of God”? If God's written word was enough to save mankind there would have been no need for Christ as the new covenant to died and become God's endless life for mankind. Moreover, we need to ask ourselves, does it even matter as long as we serve God by his written word of our bibles?

Much evil has been done by written word, but has there been evil done by the endless life of Christ?

Hebrews 7:16 who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life:

1.)

How Written Word Becomes The lie?

Such a comment is very offensive that the written word has becomes lies?

1 John 2:21 I have not written to you because you don't know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

But the obvious truth is, if the written word hasn't become lies then why some sixty thousand different religions all from the same book that human's calls the truth by billions of Christian's? Why then do those of us reading it not have no unity of faith in truth among themselves?

1 Peter 2:2 as newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby,

So if the written word is truth then it can only be the application of the written word in each one us, in our lives that creates the lies. In other words, if one filter pure water through a polluted filter it will corrupt the pure water into something much less then life giving water! Thus, if we filter the truth through a lies each of should know the outcome, unless we chose to believe the lies.

Romans 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.

Does the written word call mankind the truth?

So according to the written word, is mankind corrupt? Are humans ever called the truth of God by God or his word called truth?

2.
Well, if we take God's word as truth, then the love of the fallen flesh that all bible writers have that they must filtering all their thoughts, and ideas through are dead to the Spirit of pure water from God who cannot lie or is corruption found in him!

Hebrews 6:18 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.

James.3:8 But nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

James.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?

Did the first lie created truth or the fallen flesh from the lie?

The first lie created the fallen flesh, which flesh God calls a lie, but why? The sin in the flesh of Adam removed him from where? His sin removed him, alienated him from God, but it also alienated us because we come from Adam. But what did it actually alienates us from? the truth of what? From God's, God is Spirit and 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”.

Why is the Spirit the Truth not of mankind?

What our fallen flesh is forced into when reading God's word the bible isn't always the truth simply because in order to make the words come (the written word) alive we must put our own life into the written word found in our bibles our own life experiences.
3.

The written word is dead no unless one breath life into it!

That ultimately means, our reading the word becomes a circular event where God become us by our own life breathing life into his words on paper through our own life experiences.

In other words, we assume the bible is speaking to us, thus, we validate our emotions by what we read in our bibles through our we have felt. Sadly, we prove unwittingly we are outside the Garden found in our own sins, and by our personal interpretation we are doing what Adam did, by making himself choose what is good and evil in his own self-governance, which those choice were made outside of God's paradise, they were found in Adam sin outside in death that alienated him from God the Spirit of truth.

Can Outside of God Please God?

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

Some see this personal freedom of interpreting God's word in this manner sophisticate, but such translating of truth, a truth our eternal life is depended upon only takes away from the truth, and pollutes the pure truth of God coming from God himself.

Does legalizing God's word protect us from human emotion?

Thus, it is for that reason men and woman have chosen a very legal analytical approach to God's word the bible, but the same approach is used by any good worldly judge of legal writings. However, the question is, if we remove Spirit and truth by legalism have we not in our own good intention polluted the love of God?

Can love be legalized and be love?

4.

Galatians 5:14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."{Leviticus 19:18}

1 Corinthians 4:20 For the Kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

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

The concept that we are speaking about is actually very simple? God defined it for us in the simplest terms within His own word the bible, where it tells us that a good tree, the one in the garden of God, and/or in Christ cannot produce corrupt fruit, corrupt fruit must be found outside the Garden where Adam ended up by his own sin, where Adam and the whole human race there is nothing but death for mankind not eternal life.

Can the power of our desires change a corrupt fruit tree into a good one?

James. 3:9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in the image of God.

James. 3:12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.

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.

Thus, we are told the absolute truth a corrupt tree outside the garden of God, and/or of Christ cannot produce good fruit found in the Garden of life, and/or in Christ. With those simple profound terms in place, the conditions God has put in place we are forced into understanding the truth of the first lie.
5.
There is no life outside of God, and all life, including the understanding of God's word the bible must be unlocked for us outside of ourselves, from within the garden of life, Christ Jesus.

John 1:14 The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

How can a corrupt tree produce good fruit? Moreover, how does a person polluted with sin of corruption teach truth?

Truth Restored Through Endless Life

A living document means the document has life in it, the world thinks a living document means it changes with the times we are living in to accommodate new fades, new gadgets, new religion, new politics, new sciences. But is that what God's word means when saying Christ is the power of God's living truth?

We are told by God's word there is nothing new under the Sun that must be true, or its a lie?

However, God is indestructible life and the power coming from his life in words gave Adam his life in the garden *nothing else gave life to Adam”. No lesser words then could sustain Adam's life not even his wife's whom convinced Adam to eat the forbidden fruit.

Hence, God's words are living words having the power of life in every jot and tittle of them because God cannot lie, he is the truth. But is the power of human's living in sin can they breath life into words making them truth for another person, that is, giving a person eternal life, and sustaining that eternal life by their words?

6.
Thus, God be found true, and all men liars because there is nothing new under the Sun when it comes to what a corrupt fruit tree produces, it produces nothing of life coming from sin, sin must produce death! Hence, lying about the fruit calling it good because of our good intention does not change the fundamental truth of what Christ told us:

Matt.7:17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit. 7:18 A good tree can't produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.

1 John 1:10 If we say that we haven't sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Romans 3:4 May it never be! Yes, let God be found true, but every man a liar. As it is written, "That you might be justified in your words, and might prevail when you come into judgment."{Psalm 51:4}

Why was no written word given to Adam?

No written documents was given to Adam in the garden, nor was he ask by God to record God's living word for him, which words are the power of God's life only found in Spirit and truth not on some written medium.

At first death before death found in Adam but rather life was found in Adam, the life of God every word from God's indestructible life Adam's Father YHWH (indestructible life of incorruptibility) power of God's life kept Adam in eternal life, for God is eternal life and Adam was in God, his Father so he had eternal life given him freely.

God was Adam living word!

7.
What Adam had in God was God's perfect means of communication. God's perfect means of communication is what God uses for those sets apart to received His Spirit, which are not written words, but instead the Spirit of God which we are truth is truth. Unfiltered truth coming down to us from above.

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

2 Timothy 3:7 always learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

When document are written and we read them does it prove we are in God's life, or our we in death?

When Adam sinned, lets put it this way, if he was moved by shame and guilty to record his experiences with God before he had sinned? Would his words , written upon whatever medium, would they be life words or death words? Word inside of God, or outside of the power of God's life in Adam, outside the garden? That is, now think, would those written words put Adam back into the Garden with God, or any other person for that matter that read them?

Can we dismisses the power of God for written word so easily?

Let us remember life is a gift, but it had to be created from power, someones power, it was given to Adam from God's love freely. Mankind must learn that all important lesson, willingly, and from a good heart that seek the truth of God's love. When Adam chose his wife life over the living word of life in him, God's, he became the face of death. He must by his own will keep his flesh alive, which putting power on self in his sinful flesh killed the will of God in him willingly, or unwillingly. Obedience was no longer the issues no amount of obey God after the fact put Adam back into the power of eternal life.

Romans 13:8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

The world of flesh was created by the first lie, a world that nothing is given freely that all things are taken to enslaves us into someone or something. Thus, Adam and Eve were both enslaved to Satan, his thinking, the same rebellious thinking that caused sin creating corruption in all flesh born on earth through Adam. A flesh that was created from a lie, enslaving us all into the lie, are us all cut off from the living life of God that sustain eternally by Spirit and truth. All sinful humans are liars because of their fallen flesh created from the lie, and in that flesh it can't know God of Spirit and truth.

Hebrews 6:18 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.

Romans 8:6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;

Romans 8:7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.

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

Why does the flesh fiercely believe it can know God, when God cannot know the flesh?

However, due to sin the flesh is proud full or the works of the flesh that lust against God life ( the Spirit). Thus, it thinks life depends upon its own works, which it believes unwittingly from the first lie where everything corrupted into sin. Thinking we can earn our way back into life with God by our emotions, desires, and feeling of love for God. Unfortunately, that thinking is the first lie after Adam sinned.
9.
What the fallen flesh always misses is God gave life freely to both Adam and Eve because God is love. Life was never earned by Adam in any form or fashion.

Merit is earned, it is a demand for payment and a reward, it demands respect for its work, but its not done freely

Adam and Eve, life, works, bodies, the paradise could not be earned all must be gifts, or God is not love. That is the a basic truth of love, love does not owe us a single thing, but God's love, but the truth is Adam and Ever were creates from nothing, but love. All of God the life giving Spirit is love, all coming from him is a gift to us, freely.

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?

Satan said God was robbing Adam and Eve of knowledge

God did not rob Adam and Eve from anything, he gave Adam and Eve everything including eternal life and association with him as their eternal Father, a Father that could never lie too them unlike Satan and later all humans. It was impossible for love to harm them, to lie to them, their very existence in their lives given them freely proved God's love; that he had created them from nothing into a beautiful couple living in paradise, what is the power of the lie, but to deny all that truth living in their lives each day for a lie, trading life for the power of death in them?

Rom.1:25 who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

10.

If man must earn life by his own abilities then God is robbing man because all fall short of God's glory

Is God Robbing Man?

That is a common notions when the flesh thinks grace is weak, or isn't enough to save the entire human race. But God is actually being rob when the fallen flesh created from the first lie teaches that in it own power of death it can know God from knowledge it posses on paper outside of God.

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

Galatians 1:10 For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn't be a servant of Christ.

It should be obvious, and we shouldn't take offense that one cannot know God unless its on his terms, what are God's terms? God terms mean coming from him to us by Spirit and truth (as Adam had before sinning), because God created life from nothing, dust. Even if we don't understand that each one of us were created with out our consent. It is an act of total unreality to think we can set conditions upon our birth after the fact. Moreover, set conditions upon God by written words found in our bibles.

Rom.9:8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as a seed.

Rom.9:11 For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls.

Rom. 9:14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be!
11.
Rom.9:16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.

Setting condition as though we can claim the right to superficially boast in our looks, in who we are born from, or even how intelligent we are. Yet, the flesh thinks it can set standards of life, eventhough it is alienated from God by sin that it can make itself into a sinless person by the application of God's word in our lives; believing by the feeling coming from the power of our own mind, flesh, heart, that is God's power when it is the power of our own life birthed into death and sin, the lie found in all flesh outside of God. That somehow our feelings gives us title to eternal life by reading God's word claiming we have removed ourselves from Adam's death by our knowledge of written word, or a school teaching us the written word from the death passed on to all humans.

Could Adam have read words he once heard directly from God would those words put him back into paradise? Could Adam have used those saying of everlasting life to enslave others to his own greatest of being the only man to have ever talked to God directly?

Colossians 1:11 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy;

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

Colossians 2:10 and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power;

Touching The Power of Life

12.

To touch God means we have eternal life, however, can we even touch God by words written in our bibles? No! We learn of God's intention and his mind on matters from our bibles Yet, we are still in our flesh, which flesh feeds on words of flesh. Thus our fallen flesh automatically convoluted God's pure words of truth on paper into not so pure of water by our own mind born into sin and death.

1 John 1:5 This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

1 Timothy 6:16 who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen.

James.1:16 Don't be deceived, my beloved brothers.
1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.

Would we filter unleavened bread through yeast and think we would have unleavened bread?

What was lost is touching God so that one can know God, in knowing God is eternal life from the power of his life. Truth is life, truth is love, truth is the power of life found in God. It was Christ contact with God upon earth that gave him the power of life, but not only the power of life, but made him God's word, as long as he did the will of God, and not his own, God entrusted Christ with his word, Christ then had saying of everlasting life in those words from God through him to us, it was the power of God's life behind Christ words that made them in action truth.

John 1:14 The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
13.
John 3:36 One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys{The same word can be translated "disobeys" or "disbelieves" in this context.} the Son won't see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."

John 4:50 Jesus said to him, "Go your way. Your son lives." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.

John 5:24 "Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

John 5:38 You don't have his word living in you; because you don't believe him whom he sent.

1 Corinthians 4:20 For the Kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

Ephesians 5:26 that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word.

Hebrews 1:3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

Christ could speak a person back from the dead into life, heal the sick, and open ones eyes to the truth of God (those were God's works in Christ from the power of God's life in him.). Christ said inspire words from God life found in every living word of God out of his mouth, words that can never fail. However, writing them upon paper made them dead words that could not raise the dead, or heal the sick, they were missing the connection of having the power of incorruptible life attached to them.

14.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul
and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

Hebrews 6:5 and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come.

James 1:18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

1 Peter 1:23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever.

Restoration of truth by the power of endless Life

Many have longed for the time of restoration of truth that will come to our earth, they have searched the words of God in their bibles, they have looked to their groups of Christian's hoping to see a restoration of truth. But was truth lost when Adam sin, and mankind lost God's association; when human's were forced into written word instead direct association in God as Adam had experienced.

2 Peter 1:20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.

2 Peter 1:21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.

Was God the Truth lost or man the sinner?

15.

The lost was not in God the truth, but in man the sinner, and every since sin entered into our world, mankind has used his/her private intellect to unravel the words of God, falling far short of God's glory which is love, that is, perfect love is life and truth in the incorruptible Spirit of God that never changes, God is perfect light, perfect truth.

Romans 3:23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;

God restored truth to mankind if they wanted to love truth more than the lie, (flesh) in his Son Christ Jesus.

Romans 11:36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.

Can Mankind Touch God in Christ?

Yes! God gave us his Word of truth (Christ), by giving us his worth, that is, the power of his life that redeemed us from what Adam lost, our direct communication with God. Now that is no little deal, when we think that all of mankind since Adam sin could not give us their life, their teachings, their works, or ideas, not one to their works redeemed us. Not one of their good thoughts from their works let us communicate with God as Adam did in eternal life, nor could anything within their dying life allow for life to be working in us, like Adam had before sinning.

Psalms 49:7 none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him.

Titus 2:14 who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.

16.

We must no ever diminish the power of Christ life, a sinless life, a precious life from the love of God, but not the love of knowledge in our flesh, that is, its teaching. But instead by the power of Christ life in us we can come to God, and we can know God, by a superior knowledge (the mind of Christ, truth) the power of Christ is the opposite of Satan's first lie that caused all death upon earth. It is the Spirit and truth found in the Son, of God, Christ Jesus that is eternal life.

The power of life that was lost by Adam for us, words written are not the power of God's life, they are not the works that restores life in us by Christ incorruptible life at work in us. No! The written words have no power of incorruptible life.

When we give a word to a parrot, it repeats it, but its not his/her life giving them power, it not part of them that changes anything about the parrot being a bird, a parroting, words do not change species, parroting human words does not make them a person. It is the power of the word that deceived the human mind into thinking the parrot words now have changes the birds feelings and thoughts into a human emotions, but it is no more then a bird, and the words are lies!

2 Peter 1:3 seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue;

1 Peter 1:5 who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

The power of the kingdom is not in words alone!

God by his own power sent us His Son life, by God's power He resurrected Christ, and creating him into a new incoruption life, the power of God's own life.
17.
It is that power of God in Christ that restores humans to truth of God found in Christ a living life Adam lost!

Ephesians 4:24 and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.

2 Corinthians 6:7 in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left.

New life in Christ

Now mankind through Christ mediator ship can once more touch God, they can associate with Spirit and truth of God in Christ.

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.

Nothing written can change their personal knowledge of God by having the Christ living in them. Yes, although, we do not have the mind of God, we do have the mind of Christ that removes the power of the lie coming from our flesh, by the power of life in them, Christ life. God's children do not parrots religious words any longer(the lie) thinking that repeating words have any power but over the fallen flesh, words do not makes them into anything but a liar.

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.

John 14:17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world can't receive; for it doesn't see him, neither knows him. You know him, for he lives with you, and will be in you.

18.

Now we can eat the fruit of life without corruption of words coming from our lying flesh. Perfect words of the bread of life, Christ Jesus, now we can understand the written word having the Spirit of God in us by Christ mind to put it all together in truth and Spirit.

John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I don't go away, the Counselor won't come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

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.

We come not to the scriptures taught by a group, or a great organization, but to Christ, and accepted Christ as our life in truth and Spirit which leads us into all life with God, Christ life's is our power that makes us into life. We are made into life, because we have become part of Christ eternal life. Our bibles are unconfused for us in the power of Christ life, the bible has become alive to us, in the life of Christ that is found in us!

In Christ power all power of the sinful flesh has been stripped of any glory, stripped of its power, its authority, stripped of death by the first lie that enslaved the whole world into bondage of sin and darkness through teachings of the flesh that can't know God, and/or please God

Colossians 2:15 having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

Rev.1:17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, "Don't be afraid. I am the first and the last, 1:18 and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades{or, Hell}.
19.
There is nothing lacking in the power of Christ life, as is found in our flesh in darkness reading written words. The flesh is a black hole always lacking by empty words not having the power of Christ behind them, always feeling deprived, always living in hate and love towards itself and others.

However, Christ is the light, the light we walk in. It is the light (Christ) our sins are removed by the living life of Christ in us, It is by the power of his life that gave us a sinless life in Christ in his own righteous body.

1 Peter 2:24 who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.

James 3:18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

Titus 3:5 not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit.

Philippians 3:9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

Conclusion

Everything God did before Christ was for the purpose of leading us to Christ. Many Christian's have been lead and mislead thinking their bibles our the Christ, that by repeating words, doing works found in their bibles makes them a part of Christ.

John.5:37 The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
5:38 You don't have his word living in you; because you don't believe him whom he sent.
5:39 "You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me.
5:40 Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life.

Sadly, they become as irritating as a parrot that repeats words until the bird is no longer cute, but annoying to hear. Words of our bible without the life of Christ in us are but stones, dead, having only the power of hurt, where we take liberty to impute our feelings into them for the situations we are found in our flesh. But words only cannot give us everlasting refreshment, they give us no refreshment but for that moment of fear, for a few seconds of relief in our fleshly. Trying to remove the feeling of lust we are trying to satisfy the lust by words of judgment towards others dead in their own flesh sin flesh from the life of Christ.

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.

The words of the Spirit are the fruit of the Spirit they do not satisfy our flesh, they feed it nothing good. The flesh is against the Spirit, what is born of flesh is flesh, and what is born of Spirit is Spirit. We mustn't confuse a parrot with a human and think it going to survive on human food for long.

Galatians 5:16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh.

Ephesians 2:3 among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

The flesh must convert Spirit truth's into yeast to survive, it must turn to works of law, found in death of the flesh to make things happen within its religious teachings.
21.
Just as all the nations do, and practice, who don't need to parrot words of the bible as does religious people.

James 1:14 But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.

James 1:15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.

James 4:2 You lust, and don't have. You kill, covet, and can't obtain. You fight and make war. You don't have, because you don't ask.

When we turn to God, in Christ, we find every word is truth and life, it is the Spirit that teaches us the truth of God, but it takes faith, and the question Christ ask of his disciples was? When he returns will he find faith on earth?

1 John 2:20 You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.{Or, "know what is true." Or, "know all things."}

1 John 2:27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don't need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.

Real faith in the life of Christ means Christ in us washes away the corruption of the fleshly mind that can't know God, and teaches us the power of life in him from his Father.

It is with Christ power we can finally believe that Christ will bring an end to all lust of the flesh, it is in Christ power we come to know the truth that we it cannot earn life without God own will in obeying the commandments. Yes, the same commandments not one person on earth could keep, proving they were righteous by God's law.

22.
Yes, a self-righteousness that denies the undeserved kindness of God in Spirit and truth, the Son of God. It is the son life in us that prove it is only his own righteousness that puts us back into paradise by obedience with God, that Adam lost for us.

Ephesians 2:8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.

Colossians 1:6 which has come to you; even as it is in all the world and is bearing fruit and growing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth;

Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.

2 Thessalonians 2:16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace.

1 Timothy 1:14 The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

2 Timothy 1:9 who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal.

2 Corinthians 4:15 For all things are for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
