Heb.6:3 This will we do, if God permits.

Here is a mark of truth, none of us can move ahead from Christian's immaturity into a spiritual man/woman without God's permission, it that simply. In other words, were a person, religion, or ourselves teaches others we have progressed by our own good hard efforts we have not progressed at all. One is still in the primary doctrines of Christ Jesus, unwittingly deceived by works of law.

Hebrews 4:10 For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.

Ephesians 2:9 not of works, that no one would boast.

Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

John15:4 Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can't bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me. 15:5 I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

Christ is the head of his own body, the body member are not detached having many bodies, of truth, or religions, or heads. The body is feed through Christ Jesus headship, it has one mouth not many to speak words of eternal life. It has one faith distributed to all body members, who's faith? Christ Jesus, the heads faith, not many faiths, making one, no! One faith, one baptism, one God, one headship over his body members. We are in one house, one high priest, all eating the same spiritual food, drinking from the one rock-mass of Christ Jesus. None of which this great spiritual temple of God can be seen in brick and mortar of any religion. Subsequently, if the houses of religions world wide are stuck in the primary doctrines of Christ teaching, calling such teahing the cap-stone of truth, it should not surprise any of us.

Heb.12:3 For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith. 12:4 For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don't have the same function, 12:5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

They've forgotten the very first step, none of us by works of law can become a mature Christian's, and this was Paul point here! The Jews seem to have greater wisdom through the law, a law taught for thousand's of years compared to the Christian's. Hence, if Christian's go back to works of law they could not progress into a mature Christ simply because Christ is not flesh. One must approach God and Christ in faith, faith in the unseen kingdom not seen or felt by human hands or sight.

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.

This Kingdom of God, supplies each body member the fruit of God's Holy Spirit, for without Holy Spirit neither can we move into a spiritual person away from the judgments of sin by dead works, into the new person free of such judgments, by faith in God's promises and not the laws of the flesh.

Romans 8:9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn't have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

Romans 8:12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

Here than is the entire issue of Paul writings, stop judging by the fleshly mind unrighteousness, move into the mind of Christ freeing us of law judgment, accepting God's undeserved kindness a free gift and stop boasting and justifying our spiritual growth by personal good works. The first and last step for all Christian's.

Romans 6:14 For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.
