Abolishing Hostility Between Christ Brothers

This is a sobering thought, can there be hostility between the brothers of Christ? Although, the simple answer is obvious to any person reading their bible, which is no, there cannot be! It is a profoundly deep thought if one understand where hostility comes from according to the scriptures?

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.

Hostility for Christian's come from judging the sins of a person in their flesh. Hence, Hostility is an act of trying to control another person actions by laws declaring the flesh unrighteous. When the person disobey the law, it points up an evil in the person which the bible calls sin, and it punishes the person by the laws conviction for the sin, against a laws righteousness, which are created for the wicked, making the sinner pay a penalty for their actions. However, this judgment of the flesh creates hostility between the person offended, and the violator of the law.

Galatians 5:4 You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.

Galatians 5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

Galatians 6:2 Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

When a Christian's couples their judgments with scared laws of God, and/or religion it creates a wall of hostility until the debt is paid, or the brother hood is lost all together. Subsequently, when a person reads their bibles, particularly, in the Greek scriptures they will find wrath, hostility, an anger in it proper context to the law. This is what law creates in humans, wrath, and often times abusive speech.

Ephesians 2:15 having abolished in the flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace;

Colossians 3:8 but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.

James 3:5 So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!
3:6 And the tongue is a fire. The world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna.{or, Hell}

The violating of righteous laws seemingly and deceptively gives the judge a right to abuse the violator with abusive speech, because the life of the person is considered less than the law they have violated, in this case we are speaking of God's laws.

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?

Judging Causes Anger

Many Christian's including the brothers of Christ have not gotten this point, they have missed it entirely in their studies of God's word. Instead they insisted in righteousness through judgment of law, which creates hostility in the body of Christ causing division by strong personality doing the judging. Such judging devalues the person as less than the laws that are being used to judge the person. Hence, the very action the judge thought would bring peace and greater righteousness to the body of Christ only proved to be a complete an utter failure, not producing any growth or healing for those believing there judging was from God, and their wrath was God's righteous anger towards the sinner!

James 1:19 So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger; 1:20 for the anger of man doesn't produce the righteousness of God. 1:21 Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls{or, preserve your life.}. 1:22 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves. 1:23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror; 1:24 for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 1:25 But he who looks into the perfect law of freedom, and continues, not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.

The fleshly mind person cannot grasp this concept, they will blasphemy God and those created in his image to uphold their legal understanding of God's word in their bibles, which gives them the power to judge brothers and sister with laws for the wicked! Yet, the very concept of not judging by laws of the flesh is the touchstone to our faith, and why Christ died for us, removing the hostility of the law.

Romans 2:1 Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same thing!

Romans 14:4 Who are you who judge another's servant? To his own lord he stands or falls. Yes, he will be made to stand, for God has power to make him stand.

James 4:11 Don't speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother and judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.

Righteousness by Law

The first question anyone loving truth, those whom don't believe they have all basic truths down pat? So such teaching are viewed with destine, that is, beneath them, becoming offended when they are challenge with basic truth, as to why in today world those professing to be God's anointed are so divided by hostility over God's word the bible? Will find that 99.9% of God's anointed are still using laws of the flesh abolished in Christ to judge their brothers with.

1Cor.3:1 Brothers, I couldn't speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ. 3:2 I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you weren't yet ready. Indeed, not even now are you ready, 3:3 for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren't you fleshly, and don't you walk in the ways of men? 3:4 For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," aren't you fleshly? 3:5 Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed; and each as the Lord gave to him? 3:6 I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase. 3:7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

Their minds have been corrupted by fleshly thinking in association with weed Christian biblical teaching which are flesh, and not Spirits. Thus, when weed Christian's are stripped of their authority secured by laws for the flesh, designed for the wicked, they are left insecure by teachings of undeserved kindness, which makes them hostile towards the messenger of God's covenant administering the Spirit by God's anointed. Moreover, this yeast thinking has permeated most of those claiming to be God's anointed because they assume as God's anointed they have completed basic truths from the scriptures as teachers of the scriptures, so they find such basic teaching offensive beneath their position as one of God's anointed.

Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.

Luke 1:52 He has put down princes from their thrones. And has exalted the lowly.

1 Corinthians 1:28 and God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nothing the things that are:

Mistakenly both weeds and many of those professing being anointed are mislead in this matter righteousness; righteousness did not come through the power of the law to judge people as sinner. It came from faith in the blood of atonement that forgive sinners, making the person right before God by payment undeserved for their transgressions against God's righteous law. If atonement was not purchase it caused wrath, judgment, and hostility, between the two parties. But it did not make a person righteous! So those brothers of Christ who are lost in fleshly judgments thinking they are upholding righteousness, believing they are helping the body of Christ are mislead, and sadly mistaken and maybe very close to sinning against God's Holy Spirit!

Matthew 12:32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, neither in this age, nor in that which is to come.

Ephesians 4:30 Don't grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

Ephesians 1:13 in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your salvation,--in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.

1 Corinthians 12:3 Therefore I make known to you that no man speaking by God's Spirit says, "Jesus is accursed." No one can say, "Jesus is Lord," but by the Holy Spirit.

Judging Flesh

John 8:15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

Hostility is created when Christ brothers judge flesh, but why? First and foremost, this is a basic teaching, basic truth, the flesh of God's anointed is dead to God's judgment by his law! God removed the cruse of hostile the law judging the sinful flesh caused by killing our sinful flesh to his judgment by laws in Christ, which laws were created for the wicked, not the righteous. When a brother in Christ sees a speck of sinful fleshly in their brothers eye, and jump into using laws of God's created for the wicked to remove that speck they are bring the same judgment upon themselves. They are unwittingly judging the dead flesh in Christ by degree of some dead, some not! This thinking is corrupted and from yeast, and very dangerous in sinning against the working of God's Holy Spirit in the body of Christ.

John 6:63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

The speak of flesh they see and hate creates hostility in them for the sins of their brother, which is dead, once for all times, it is put away dead in the coffin of Christ. Hence, there is nothing more to judge in the flesh for God's anointed, because God is not judging the flesh dead in Christ! These ones are blinded by hate of their own flesh towards a brothers, thinking it is God's righteousness because it is found in laws of the scriptures.

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. 7:6 "Don't give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
7:7 "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.

Thus, they are dead, their judgment are dead, and they produce nothing good for the body of Christ, what is produce in such unrighteous judgments is corrupted fruit from their fleshly judgments, causing the same judgment to come upon themselves. They are seeking vengeance, no matter what they speak from their fleshly mouth filled with scriptures to abuse, and convicted the sinful flesh of a death its already received in God's judgment of it. They are judging themselves righteous in flesh while condemning those made righteous in Spirit by Christ.

Galatians 3:2 I just want to learn this from you. Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?

Galatians 3:3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh?

Romans 8:13 For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

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.

They have return to the vomit of sinful flesh dead in Christ, and taken up vengeance in the name of Christ a complete contradiction of his life and what he died for in removing our judgment of our flesh before God. They are on a short road, close to making themselves an evil slave, a slander, and accuser of Christ brother, speaking evil of glorious one filled with the life of Christ!

Romans 14:17 for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Jude 1:19 These are they who cause divisions, and are sensual, not having the Spirit.

1 John 4:13 By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

2 Peter 2:12 But these, as unreasoning creatures, born natural animals to be taken and destroyed, speaking evil in matters about which they are ignorant, will in their destroying surely be destroyed.

Peace From Hostility

Those thinking they are intellectual in Christ are fleshly minded, and of this world when it come to the peace of Christ which comes from Christ life indwelling God's children. They know not what they are making strong exertion about, they lack humility and fear of YHWH.

2Tim.2:14 Remind them of these things, charging them in the sight of the Lord, that they don't argue about words, to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear. 2:15 Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn't need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth. 2:16 But shun empty chatter, for they will proceed further in ungodliness, 2:17 and their word will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

Peace comes to us as God's children by removing our deserved judgment of our sinful flesh which is the only way true peace comes to the body of Christ. Peace is as act of God's Holy Spirit a fruit of his Spirit, not ours spirit or flesh. We cannot have or find peace in judgment of sins, because one cannot, not be a sinner in our flesh that is a fact, a truth, a judgment that has a conviction, death, for those alienate from God, and his peace by the sins of their flesh! Sin in any form or degree is not at peace with God, it is under God's wrath through his judgment of sin, causing a lacking of peace.

1 Peter 1:2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.

Hebrews 13:20 Now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant, our Lord Jesus.

Colossians 1:20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself, by him, whether things on the earth, or things in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of his cross.

Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,{or, faithfulness}

Subsequently, when a brother or sister loves judgment of the flesh of their anointed brothers and sisters they are dead to God's peace, dead to life of Christ, and dead to the works of God. In fact, they are presumptuous, going beyond the Christ into making themselves a king, a judge and, law giver setting themselves up as the Christ in the temple of God.

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. 3:15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic. 3:16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed. 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 3:18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

Presumptuously Taking Christ Headship

Why would a brother in Christ think that God is not involved in the correction and direction of all his own children? In other words, how could God be a righteous Father if he left his position as Father in the hand of fleshly men, as substituted father? The fleshly mind is presumptuous, and we are told by Christ it is a thief, its steals what is rightfully Gods. Than it takes what is God's and destroys others with it. This self-assuming quest for importance bring one into judging abusively God's chosen one, thinking they have a legal right an obligation a sacred service to God. But Christ said he judged no one, he did not judge by the flesh that he knew was of no value at all to God. He did not judge what was already dead, he did not think he could make holy something that cannot be made holy by laws and commandments, which judges flesh as dead!

John 10:10 The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

1 John 3:12 unlike Cain, who was of the evil one, and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

Christ did not take God's position as a judge upon earth, a condemner of humans by laws he would complete and abolish so we could have peace with God, finally!

John 3:17 For God didn't send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

Judging Righteously

John 7:24 Don't judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment."

Do you hold people accountable by laws that you were freed from, by a gift of undeserved kindness? In other words, are you a hypocrite like a king, or a governor, a top official that judges people by laws while they break the same laws to prosper their own lives? Are you and exception to the rule by position of calling yourself anointed, specially chosen of God to execute judgment upon your brothers by laws you can't keep or be freed of, unless Christ died for you. Are you a king, are you an authority in the body of Christ? If so, than you have no peace, with God or the body members of Christ, you are not even attached too each other unless they agree with you fleshly mind, which is dead in Christ, and hostile to God!

1 Corinthians 4:3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by man's judgment. Yes, I don't judge my own self.

1 Corinthians 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.

To judge righteously one would have to judge themselves as they want to be judged by God. Lets simplify this point for the intellectual mind anointed that make themselves an exception to the rule, thus, making themselves an anti-social member of the law of Christ. Christ has a body, its member receive his life, his righteousness, and his direction under the law of Christ. Just as your own body does when feeding and dealing with it own fleshly members.

Romans 14:22 Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who doesn't judge himself in that which he approves.

2 Corinthians 5:14 For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.

Hebrews 10:30 For we know him who said, "Vengeance belongs to me," says the Lord, "I will repay."{Deuteronomy 32:35} Again, "The Lord will judge his people."{Deuteronomy 32:36; Psalm 135:14}

Do you separate laws for different members of your own body? One for your hand, and another law for your foot? If you judge your foot, are you not judging yourself? Now the law of the fleshly mind can and often does cut off a person into death, because such a cutting off is a detached person from self, and has little or no affect on their lives. In other words, your life is disposable, but not mine or my needs.

Matt.5:27 "You have heard that it was said, {TR adds "to the ancients,"} 'You shall not commit adultery;'{Exodus 20:14}
5:28 but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
5:29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.{or, Hell} 5:30 If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.{or, Hell}

But what happens when you cut off your own hand? Is it so easy and expendable? What happen when you pluck out your own eye, is life going to be easier? You sees hostility comes from judging the flesh and its sins killing it, by what? Law that convicted it of death. To do so it account the person evil that is the whole person seen only in the fleshly judgment of the person for that is what the law was created to do condemn and kill the person in their flesh by its judgment because the flesh is sinful and wicked! Problem solved, right! Yes, right for the flesh, and deserving, but wrong for the body of Christ, and the Spirit, under the law of Christ, a whole other matter!

Romans 8:13 For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

Eph.5:29 For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly;
5:30 because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.
5:31 "For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh."{Genesis 2:24} 5:32 This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly. 5:33 Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

1Tim. 1:9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 1:10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;

When brothers and sisters used the laws for the wicked, that is, the flesh to judge their own body members a Spirit body, taking action against them they are sinning against God and perhaps the Holy Spirit that has declared that one righteous by the life of Christ! The flesh of your bother or sister is dead buried with Christ, God is not resurrected that dead flesh so you can judge it by his righteous law again which Christ gave his life to abolished. You are judging unrighteously by laws abolished for you over your own flesh. Your are being partial to yourself, while condemning what was made dead in Christ by the workings of the Holy Spirit.

James 2:7 Don't they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called? 2:8 However, if you fulfill the royal law, according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself,"{Leviticus 19:18} you do well. 2:9 But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors. 2:10 For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all. 2:11 For he who said, "Do not commit adultery,"{Exodus 20:14; Deuteronomy 5:18} also said, "Do not commit murder."{Exodus 10:13; Deuteronomy 5:17} Now if you do not commit adultery, but murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. 2:12 So speak, and so do, as men who are to be judged by a law of freedom.

Rom.8:31 What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 8:32 He who didn't spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things? 8:33 Who could bring a charge against God's chosen ones? It is God who justifies. 8:34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

How of you judge? Righteously, by law of Christ, or by the law for the wickedness created for the sinful flesh? Can you cut off your own hand? Would you if you were handed a law saw? We are not talking about going to a surgeon here under antistasis and a doctor cutting off your had for the health of your body, no! We are saying you will have to cut off your own hand fully awake and feeling the results of your decision immediately! So you can stand before Christ and say: “I am a member servant in the body of Christ, and I judge you deserving of death by laws abolished over me!”

James 4:11 Don't speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother and judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge. 4:12 Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge another?

1 John 3:9 Whoever is born of God doesn't commit sin, because his seed remains in him; and he can't sin, because he is born of God.

Whom could be so presumptuous unless it was a legal minded person filled with hostility fuel by the laws designed for the unrighteous sinners? Are Christ brothers unrighteous sinner? Do you judge your own flesh harshly by the Spirit in the body of Christ? Do you think you can hate a brother secretly in your heart in Christ, and be blessed by the same Spirit that in you and your brother in body of Christ?

1 Corinthians 12:21 The eye can't tell the hand, "I have no need for you," or again the head to the feet, "I have no need for you."

Not Many Should be Teachers

Those quick to fleshly judgments, thinking they are getting read of a problem because they judge if a brother of sister is a body member in Christ by their teachings, should not teach. Such thinking defies the Spirit in Christ, it defies the love of Christ has for his own body. It is nothing more than the worlds fleshly wisdom through laws for the wicked.

James3:1 Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment. 3:2 For in many things we all stumble. If anyone doesn't stumble in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.

If you do not understand laws the flesh don't teach! Our world has set up courts, and system to separate emotion from the law, so they can judge impartially. Such cold calculated judgment is what the Law of Moses did for those in charge of it. There are laws for the flesh, for the flesh is dead to God because it is sinful and died within second after Adam and Eve sinned and human sinful flesh has been dead spiritually every since. All laws of mankind are judging the flesh, which according to God is already dead to him spiritually, do you understand this basic teaching when reading your bible?

1 Corinthians 6:2 Don't you know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

God is not judging our flesh, human do that of the flesh to protect themselves and keep order in society. Churches do that, and religions groups, as does government, and commerce, these are the facts of life under sin. Christ body members are not under sin, basic teaching, are you teaching differently? Are you saying the body members of Christ are under sin and they need to be judged righteously by laws created for the unrighteous?

1 Corinthians 6:12 "All things are lawful for me," but not all things are expedient. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be brought under the power of anything.

1 Corinthians 10:23 "All things are lawful for me," but not all things are profitable. "All things are lawful for me," but not all things build up.

No! It can't be done, the body members of Christ are declared righteous, that is, without sin, they must be judged by the law of freedom, free from what? Sin! What is that law? It is called the Kings law, the King being Jehovah God/YHWH. What law does the King live by and has created for righteous people without sin? Love, not the laws for the flesh, but the law of the Spirit. There is not life in judging the flesh that died to the Spirit when Adam and Eve sinned and caused sin to enter into all mankind.

John 5:39 "You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me. Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life.

John 6:27 Don't work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him."

John 6:33 For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world."

1 John 5:20 We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

Jude 1:21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.

God is the God of the living, not the dead! Do you as a teacher understand this? God is not judging our flesh, it is pointless to judge a dead man, no court of law waste it time judging the dead. God works with the living, not the flesh, but our spirit, not our flesh. Human see flesh, because they are educated in the ways of the flesh, they do not understand the things of the Spirit because the flesh can't, it is hostile towards the flesh, it can't be at peace with the Spirit.

1Cor.2:6 We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown; yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing. 2:7 But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory,
2:8 which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn't have crucified the Lord of glory. 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} 2:10 But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 2:11 For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except God's Spirit. 2:12 But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God. 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.
2:14 Now the natural man doesn't receive the things of God's Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can't know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 2:15 But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one. 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.

What do you think happens when a person of the flesh is given a bible and is educated in the scriptures, but they are fleshly minded? In other words, they are not born anew, in Spirit, killing the flesh in Christ, they speak of fleshly things and judge the flesh, they cannot do differently. Weed Christian's are not made into wheat by studying the bible, they are truthful killed by God, that is, the flesh, and made new in Christ to become part of his life, not their own life, but a new life, having no what? Sins of the flesh!

Matthew 22:32 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?'{Exodus 3:6} God is not the God of the dead, but of the living."

John 6:51 I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."

1 Corinthians 15:45 So also it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul."{Genesis 2:7} The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

2 Corinthians 3:3 being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, served by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.

The bible is not Christ, it is not the life of Christ resurrected, it is words written by God's Holy Spirit that brings us to Christ. It is an act of God by Holy Spirit that makes a new creation in Christ. The fleshly mind judge flesh that is why all the same works of the flesh are found in all religion, all government, all commerce, it is the character of the fleshly mind, and sin.

2 Corinthians 4:4 in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

Zechariah 11:17 Woe to the worthless shepherd who leaves the flock! The sword will be on his arm, and on his right eye. His arm will be completely withered, and his right eye will be totally blinded!"

Luke 6:39 He spoke a parable to them. "Can the blind guide the blind? Won't they both fall into a pit?

Because a teacher uses the bible does not make the person a minister of the Spirit and the new covenant. We are not talking about intellect in explaining the bible or teaching it. The administering of the Spirit comes through God's temple, Christ Jesus, which a spirit person as a member therein of the Spirit; declared them sinless, because of Christ merit allowing them to administer the Spirit as Christ himself did while upon earth.

2Cor. 3:4 Such confidence we have through Christ toward God;
3:5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God;
3:6 who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
3:7 But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses for the glory of his face; which was passing away:
3:8 won't service of the Spirit be with much more glory?
3:9 For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. 3:10 For most certainly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses. 3:11 For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory. 3:12 Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech, 3:13 and not as Moses, who put a veil on his face, that the children of Israel wouldn't look steadfastly on the end of that which was passing away. 3:14 But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Christ it passes away. 3:15 But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. 3:16 But whenever one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
3:18 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.

Those anointed by God and part of Christ are under one law, the law of freedom they don't judge the flesh they administer the Holy Spirit to those God has freed of sin, or is freeing of sin, by the death of their judgment through laws of the flesh. When they alive in their flesh, and judging by flesh mind they are dead to Christ, they are adding yeast into the Christ, and will corrupt those they are teaching bring them not to life but into death.

1 Corinthians 3:16 Don't you know that you are a temple of God, and that God's Spirit lives in you?

Hebrews 6:1 Therefore leaving the doctrine of the first principles of Christ, let us press on to perfection--not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, of faith toward God,

Hebrews 9:14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Those seeking peace, are seeking the Holy Spirit, and the law of freedom over themselves and their brother members in Christ, they judge correctly themselves and others. They are not seeking fleshly glory causing hostility by fleshly thinking to make a name for themselves like the world.

1 Peter 4:14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed; because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.

1 Peter 4:11 If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

John 5:44 How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you don't seek the glory that comes from the only God?

John 7:18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

It is by the laws of the flesh that take a position as teacher judging oneself worthy. Those teaching by Holy Spirit take nothing, nor judge themselves in relationship to position, they give and are qualified by Holy Spirit as a servant of the body of Christ. They do not assume a position because of intellect, or personality, they are lead by Holy Spirit and speak the direction of their heads as fellow servant in the body of Christ.

These are the pure of heart that pursue peace with all men, how? By declaring the Christ our truth, by Holy Spirit ministering to other through Holy Spirit.

Rev.22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" He who hears, let him say, "Come!" He who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely. 22:18 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to them, may God add to him the plagues which are written in this book. 22:19 If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, may God take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book. 22:20 He who testifies these things says, "Yes, I come quickly." Amen! Yes, come, Lord Jesus.
22:21 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the saints. Amen.
