Jehovah's Witnesses Straight Talk - Forum/Blog

Heb.3:1 Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus; 3:2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house. 3:3 For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who built the house has more honor than the house. 3:4 For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God.

The writer of Hebrews makes a stark contrast between a physical home on earth, and a heavenly home in his discussion here in the book of Hebrews. He is also word specific in whom he is talking to? It is the partakers of heavenly calling, did you note that? Many helped Moses construct various objects for the tent of meeting, for pure worship of God on earth, but one should note only Moses was accredited with being faithful in that construction.

2 Corinthians 5:4 For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

1Cor.3:7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. 3:8 Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. 3:9 For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's farming, God's building.

Now the contrast is laid not by chance, but by direction of God's Holy Spirit. Christian's are not part of an earthly construction in some religion boasting in growth. Their home is but a tent on earth, not a lasting house with foundation and estate right attached to it for future generations. The tent, their fleshly bodies can be folded up in a moment to move on into the house Christ is constructing for his Father habitation and glory. Flesh is temporary, as are the labors they create.

Isaiah 40:6 The voice of one saying, "Cry!" One said, "What shall I cry?" "All flesh is like grass, and all its glory is like the flower of the field.

2 Peter 1:14 knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.

Ezekiel 37:27 My tent also shall be with them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

This is the contrast found in all the apostles writings, that is, the Greek Scriptures, none of which has any hope or permanence on this earth. Earth and that which dwells in it, presently, is not God's creation or his home, he has not set about through religion to construct religious building; places of worship, and/or corporate religious governments to prove his Son's faithfulness in those constructions.

1 John 5:5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

1 John 4:5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.

1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn't the Father's, but is the world's. 2:17 The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God's will remains forever.

The work Christ is faithful over is God's assignment which is his body members the temple of the living God built without human hands, but instead God's own hands holy and pure free of any corruption of this world.

James.3:11 Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water? 3:12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.

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

2 Corinthians 6:16 What agreement has a temple of God with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, "I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people."{Leviticus 26:12; Jeremiah 32:38; Ezekiel 37:27}

Please note that Christ is the builder of God's house not us, we are not accredited the building of God's house, why? Simply put, we are members not owners, and/or the head, nor the mind that is faithful to God, Christ is, we belong to him as servants to his body members. God is building the house through Christ mind a faithful fully tested and proven slave of God. Still Christ does not take credit for the work, because like body members he is under God's own headship as part of him, doing perfectly and in harmony with the will of that head making it God's project.

1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.

Matthew 10:24 "A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his lord.

Matt.19:16 Behold, one came to him and said, "Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?"
19:17 He said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."

It is false religion that makes men and woman more important in position, power, and honor while on earth that many Christian's are confused over. Religion like Satan has stolen the glory and honor by building millions of false churches to God on earth through human will, power, and wisdom. In other words, taking yeast placing it into what cannot be corrupted Christ kingdom above and corrupting the whole lump on earth. There is nothing new under the Sun when it comes to mankind's works in sin their works cannot do the works of God's temple, God's house is removing corruption from the fallen human race. For thousand's of years mankind has built in the name of God and Christ, elite, righteous structure dedicated to holiness, but what are the fruits?

Haggai 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."

Matthew 23:25 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and unrighteousness.{TR reads "self-indulgence" instead of "unrighteousness"}

They have blinded mankind by a false light an appearance of righteousness, many are awed, many worship these wondrous works of the flesh, and many have died willingly for false religion. Yet, not one of these works have produced a sinless person, not one has taken sin out of one human so they can live forever like Adam was created to do. But all have boasted in the flesh, and all have gladly stolen God's glory, with prided of workmanship.

2 Corinthians 11:14 And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.

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:

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.

But he is faithful in all his Fathers house and he stated without an illusion of words that a corrupt tree cannot produce good fruit, and for those with ears, hearts, Spirit and truth not to be mislead. Instead focus on the truth, above, where our home is, stop the chasing the hopes of the flesh, stop planning ahead for works of the of flesh because God is not in those works.

Isaiah 49:26 I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

Jeremiah 17:5 Thus says Yahweh: Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from Yahweh.

Romans 6:19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh, for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness for sanctification.

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.

Matt.7:18 A good tree can't produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
7:19 Every tree that doesn't grow good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.
7:20 Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.
