Truth That leads to Eternal life!

Matt.25:8 The foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' 25:9 But the wise answered, saying, 'What if there isn't enough for us and you? You go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.' 25:10 While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut.

A man set out on a journey one day, he was headed to a far away country where he hoped to build a new life, and with him he took a bag of precious seeds. These seeds would start his new world, it would feed his family, and make him a living. The hope of these seeds was his life they more precious than his material things he had left behind. Thus, he coined this bag, the bag of life, writing hope across the front of it.

He planted his seed carefully, he tended his field every need, and waited the harves. But his precious seeds produce empty worthless weeds, and not wheat for life! He had been betrayed stunned, and shocked! He had ruined his own life, and that of his families. Now he must go back to the old world in humiliation and shame, empty handed, sadly his family could perish on the journey home, having no food.

Why he wondered? Would those with good repetitions sell him a bag of weed seeds that cost him his hope, his chance for a new life endangering his family? How foolish he felt deceiving himself into not knowing the seeds were weeds? He hadn't even looked! He accepted the words of those selling the seeds as honorable men! Nevertheless, he, and his family would be the ones suffering, not them, he must pay the price, he must bear the burden of his foolishly trust.

Matt.25:1 "Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom. 25:2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
25:3 Those who were foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them, 25:4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 25:5 Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.

Profound Truth

What are we to make of this parable? Many in religion throughout its history of Christianity have found their own planting of truths producing weeds. Shocked, and overwhelmed at what they had staked their very lives upon, and their families, to be tricked by salesman of false spiritual seeds. Left with the disappointments, and the ruin of their lives they struggle with destruction of their once precious faith, living in fear, confusion not trusting any one speaking of religion to them anymore.

Matt.7:24 "Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock. 7:25 The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it didn't fall, for it was founded on the rock. 7:26 Everyone who hears these words of mine, and doesn't do them will be like a foolish man, who built his house on the sand. 7:27 The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell--and great was its fall."

This pattern has repeats itself, although, very personal to each one of us, like the earth cycles repeats themselves. We blame God, we blame others, we blame ourselves, but we have fallen victim to the nature of our fallen flesh and its mind. The man planting the seed thought it to be wheat, but was deceived, not by the seed, but the words of the sellers mouth. The seed could not produce wheat, it could produce only its kind. The anger of this man, and his disappointment could not change the truth of the seeds kind, being weeds, nor could his hopes. Loving God did not change what was created in its own kind, weeds. Nothing of the man emotions, or feeling or his need for righteousness justice changes the truth of the seeds, they were indeed weeds, and not wheat!

Proverbs 23:23 Buy the truth, and don't sell it. Get wisdom, discipline, and understanding.

Buying Truth

Can a person buy truth? Well, in this world, of weeds, we can buy truth in some measure. We can pay for an education becoming a professional in the field we are educated in. We can take those truths, build a life, feed ourselves, and help others.

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.

But what of God's truths? Here is the most important thing we can learn if we set out to serve God, that is, in planting seeds of wheat for eternal life. If one stumbles into words arguments, and labels taught by religion, we will buy seeds of the flesh, planting them like spiritual seeds of truth, but at the end the harvest we will have our investment in reaping a harvest of wind, swimming in emotional turmoil, and destruction.

Isaiah 28:15 "Because you have said, 'We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol are we in agreement. When the overflowing scourge passes through, it won't come to us; for we have made lies our refuge, and we have hidden ourselves under falsehood.'"

Isaiah 28:17 I will make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the plumb line. The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters will overflow the hiding place.

The seeds of spiritual truth for Christian's, God's truth cannot be purchased from a man, a religion, a bible, or anything else under the Sun! Purchasing false truths will repeat itself as it has throughout the history mankind, and its religions. Rather that "religion" (form of worship) be found in government, or in a business, a corporation the fruits will be the same, they cannot change they must lie this is the same old fruits found in every generation of mankind dying from sin, repeating the works of the flesh producing its kind in a perdictiable pattern.

Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.

Ecclesiastes 8:8 There is no man who has power over the spirit to contain the spirit; neither does he have power over the day of death. There is no discharge in war; neither shall wickedness deliver those who practice it.

Ecclesiastes 1:9 That which has been is that which shall be; and that which has been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

Those words written on paper are nothing more than stepping stones to the truth that comes from above, which truth from above are given freely to all wanting truth from God. The stones below of provided by humans are truths we step upon to come to the truth from above. Truths from below are held in captivity by humans reasoning, which lust for greed in their flesh for power, recognition, and wealth, in selling us stones of truth for self-glorification. But these are not the seeds of wheat, or are they, the truth, which comes from above.

John 3:31 He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the Earth belongs to the Earth, and speaks of the Earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.

John 8:23 He said to them, "You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.

According to its Kind

No matter the emotion invested that we put into religion, a person, a place, or a thing, it cannot produce the eternal life from above. If one cannot at the start of their spiritual life's journey make this profound distinction, they will plant weeds, and find weeds at the harvest that must be reaped. Truth cannot change because of false hope, or because we labor day and night in religious study. Truth cannot be changed because of anything we do as a humans by our feelings, our needs, our wants, or in our personality, truth is created by God, not us!

Isa.40:13 Who has directed the Spirit of Yahweh, or has taught him as his counselor? 40:14 Who did he take counsel with, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and showed him the way of understanding? 40:15 Behold, the nations are like a drop in a bucket, and are regarded as a speck of dust on a balance. Behold, he lifts up the islands like a very little thing.

Deception is to buy truth through a human sources because of our needs, and wants. Instead we chose to ignore these facts for various lust of our own flesh, which are common to all humans. We seek truths to fit into our needs our feelings, our fears, our wants in this life; even for vengeance.

James 4:1 Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don't they come from your pleasures that war in your members? 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.
4:3 You ask, and don't receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures. 4:4 You adulterers and adulteresses, don't you know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

But at the end of this journey we will reap according to our planting, the fruits are not a mystery, only to those whom lust blindly for theeir own needs to be meant by God's word the bible. What we want is not God's truths, but polluted truth from below, mixed into God's truth wo we can justify our wants on earth. We have a choice to become a person whom seeks to have their ways justified by bible truths, and/or worldly wisdom, so we can build our world that upholds our needs spiritually. This thinking leading to destruction and disappointment at a great crash we must face at the harvest of our ways where we face truth of God? God is not a liar, he will not uphold our lies of human justification so we can support our needs. Not even if we call/label them God's by putting scriptures to our works as God's ways for his glory.

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. 16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.

The truth cannot be sold, it cannot be found in the lust of our flesh, it cannot be found in books, or religion that may or may not help us to the truth of God; truth must come from above at His permission too us, for his glory, by His Holy Spirit.

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.

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.

Mixing of Truth With a Lie

So what is truth, is it man? Is it a book? Is it a religion? What actually is truth? What truth saves us from our sins the sins of our fallen flesh? What happens when we mix the truth of God with a lie? It is still a lie! Now lets speak truth let us qualify what the real truth is from God.

Can God lie? No! Can man lie, yes, and he often does live a lie? So man can not be truth, because he has lied in someway, at sometime in his life. Thus, he can never be the truth. Truth never lies, it is the same today as it has always be into all eternity. Subsequently, we don't have to be a rocket scientist to conclude if we mix human reasoning into truth its no longer truth. We don't have to be a farmer to know if we mix wheat seeds into weed seeds we have corrupted our field. Nor do we have to be a baker for us to understand the mixing yeast into flour will cause the whole lump to corrupt into yeast bread.

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. 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? 3:12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water. 3:13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.

Man reasoning are from yeast (sin), they are weeds we plant each day, they are not truth, truth cannot be a mixture of both; the end results is truth is not corruption, one is truth, the other is a lie, just like our yes and our no, there can be nothing in between which is not of the Devil. The Devil is the father of the lie. Truth is not a mixture of lies,and truth, such falsehoods are found in the yeast of human reasoning which brings forth death.

Matt.5:37 But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.

Matt.7:9 Or who is there among you, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 7:10 Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent? 7:11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

Matt.7:15 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. 7:16 By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? 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.

This is a profound truth each of us must know for us to be known by God. He must given us truth from above. Nothing less will produce eternal life (wheat), or plant spiritual seeds that produce the fruit of eternal life. This truth is very offensive to those walking after the flesh believing the lies of promoting themselves as speaking truth, wittingly or unwittingly?

Matthew 16:17 Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.

Truth According to its Kind

We have uncovered why religion always repeats the mistakes of the past? Why they always corrupt into greater and greater unrighteousness? Why religion must politic its evils away by boasting in its good works done by its members. We have also uncovered why every thing in the world by religion, is under the banner of godly words, and works found from the bible. There is not one thing different found in government, religion, or commerce all stem from one the flesh, and uses the same practices with different motives, all produces the same fruit, good works they have done for mankind while justifying the evil works found in the same treee (lying producing a tree having two types of fruit good and evil.) Truth does not lie, it does not cover up, and its does not change, it either produces good fruit, or it does not exist as God's truth. Truth does not have two fruits, truth does not justify itself, it is justified because it is the truth.

1 John 4:6 We are of God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God doesn't listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

1 John 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and don't tell the truth.

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

2 Corinthians 13:8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

Truth cannot come from a lie, just because its legislated into laws, or bylaws of a corporation, government, and/or religion. Mankind is not truth no matter how much they teach their actions are they will not line up with truth of God, it can't because mankind must produces from its own kind, which is sin and death, not eternal; coming from what? The first lie, the tree all the world is from!

Romans 3:10 As it is written, "There is no one righteous; no, not one.

Romans 5:17 For if by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; so much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.

Proverbs 16:25 There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.

Truth comes from the truth, who is the truth? God, and Christ Jesus, not an angel, not a man, not a prophet, not a book, but God and His Son Christ Jesus are the truth. Our truth must come from their truth, from above from the person they are, Spirit and truth. It cannot come from below. What we as human under sin are empower with is a sense of truth that leads us to look above where truth is found in freedom from corruption of this earth by yeast teaching from sins of our flesh, The truth from above is protected by incorruptibility and immortality by YHWH and his glorified Son Christ Jesus.

Psalms 25:5 Guide me in your truth, and teach me, For you are the God of my salvation, I wait for you all day long.

Psalms 31:5 Into your hand I commend my spirit. You redeem me, Yahweh, God of truth.

Psalms 119:160 All of your words are truth. Every one of your righteous ordinances endures forever.

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

Are you disappointed in this truth, or are you instead set free by finding such truth? Hence, God's truth from above gives us complete answers so you need not justify ourselves, and/or the wicked works of others people. Such action which cause us to think we are disloyal to a friend, a government, a religion, or a business, and because of such disloyalty we will loss our eternal life? Truth set us free, it does not enslave us to fear, and judgment from lies. It does not promote into salesmanship causing something too be better than what its is, it does not sell us (our personality) as paradise.

2 Corinthians 4:2 But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

We are to love truth, we are to be loyal to truth, for without truth we have no hope of eternal life. But we are not to be loyal to dishonesty because a human calls it truth. We are not to blindly call lies the truth because we don't want to check the seeds, and we want our needs meant, such as for acceptance, glory or power, recognition, or even freedom from some fear. We are to be loyal to truth as God reveals it to us by Holy Spirit.

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.

John 15:26 "When the Counselor{Greek Parakletos: Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, and Comfortor.} has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.

Not Complicated

Let's understand God is not look for reasons to find fault in us, or destroy us. He is not seated in heaven with a judgment book checking our every thoughts. God knows what sinful flesh produces, he is not fooled or disappointed as we human are with other humans that prove to be wicked or don't keep their word.

Psalms 2:4 He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.
Isa.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.
40:7 The grass withers, the flower fades, because Yahweh's breath blows on it. Surely the people are like grass. 40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God stands forever."

What God want is for us to understand that mankind's self-rule in choosing good and evil will only produce more weeds and death. He wants us to understand that our-ways are not his ways. Our ways are corrupted by sin which cause us death. Hence, when we naively put faith in other humans, rather that be their teachings, writings, their governments or religions those are not his ways, they are not the new heavens or earth where righteousness dwells. They are not built by gods, or will they bring us peace, nor eternal life with him in paradise. They will, and always, lead to disappointments, finding good, but with the good we will find evil. Do we justify that evil by human reasoning so we can keep the good or do we love truth knowing why things are the way they are on earth, and have been since man fell into sin and death? Do we expect men to produce life through institutions built on both good and evil, thinking God is like that, the same as corrupted mankind works on earth?

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."

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

Do we long for the glory of great men whom built institutions doing some good, or do we put our complete trust and hope in God's Kingdom as the bible teaches in its most primary teachings?

1Cor.4:6 Now these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to think beyond the things which are written, that none of you be puffed up against one another. 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?

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.

Many have great fear when told they must trust God alone in revealing truth to them, but that is not mean we cannot be taught by someone the scriptures or even go to a church and/or religious organization and learn. But we must always put truth reveal by God, as the source of life coming from him to us through Jesus Christ above all else whatever it cost us. Too many in religion are quick to take credit happily setting themselves in the position of Christ in every little detail of ones life. Subsequently, this is how weed propagate themselves, the flesh does not plant spiritual seeds, don't be fooled by words. Spirit plants Spirit, not words coming from flesh repeating spiritual words from the bible, God is the planter, not man!

1Cor.4:1 So let a man think of us as Christ's servants, and stewards of God's mysteries. 4:2 Here, moreover, it is required of stewards, that they be found faithful. 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. 4:4 For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.

The steps coming to the truth, Christ Jesus, are not to be worshiped, or are they to take glory over the Spirit from above, nor sold for praise, and honor of the men, and woman in charge of teachings from their bibles. Nor are those teaching to be defend at the cost of spiritual lives of others. Nor should a religion say its is the truth, for its not the truth. Truth is not in a word, or a teaching it is a fruit of God's Spirit which mankind does not produce. The fruit of God is truth, the fruit of Christ is the truth, do you as a Christian's actual understand what is in man? Its not truth, but shadows of light ever changing. Are we seeking the truth from above God, never changing with out shadows of truth and lies in man? Men of flesh re always changing and they disappoint us, quickly we move on to the next teaching, and the next personality that please us? But do we understand God's truth?

James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. 1:14 But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. 1:15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death. 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.

In other words, a tree has fruit, it produces fruit from its life source, without the life of the tree there is no fruit. The life of God's is found in Holy Spirit, his life is truth. It is not a separate part of his mind, separated from his life which life produces truth, nor is his person, something written on paper, and repeated. Man has a spirit which is not truth, mankind spirit cannot produce life, eternal life must come from Holy Spirit from the God of truth. Mankind's spirit produce death found in sin the works of their flesh, in their thoughts. Reading truth does not change the man (into a new kind of wheat for eternal life), it does not recreate the person into a non-sinner, or another species where truth resides without sin. What resides in man God's word is very clear about, do you know what that is?

Rom.3:10 As it is written, "There is no one righteous; no, not one.
3:11 There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God. 3:12 They have all turned aside. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, no, not, so much as one."{Psalms 14:1-3; 53:1-3; Ecclesiastes 7:20}
3:13 "Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit."{Psalm 5:9} "The poison of vipers is under their lips;"{Psalm 140:3} 3:14 "Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness."{Psalm 10:7} 3:15 "Their feet are swift to shed blood.
3:16 Destruction and misery are in their ways.
3:17 The way of peace, they haven't known."{Isaiah 59:7-8}
3:18 "There is no fear of God before their eyes."{Psalm 36:1}
3:19 Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.

Nothing mankind creates from his flesh, that is, his will from his flesh under sin is truth. We may act in truth sometimes, or act in untruth, but it is not the truth; the unadulterated truth of living pure waters sustaining eternal life, it is not our man needing the bread of life, Christ Jesus. It is Christ Jesus the truth, not our needs. Christ life is free of sin, free of yeast that corrupts the bread of life.

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

When one confuses their loyalty because someone (religion, or person) loves the truth, over loving God's the truth, we find wicked acts and faulty reasoning to justify what we want in our hearts, which is often association with other human for approval of men. Such faulty reasoning leads us into planting weeds, leading us into disappointments of our faith in them, causing us confusion in faith in God, which is (ever changing shadows of sin in human) leading us into disappointment.

This distinction is the obligation of every human that pick up God's word the bible the stepping stones that bring us to Christ. Human claiming to speak for God cannot be the stop off point where our loyalty to them, and their teachings take the rightful glory from Christ. They cannot have jealousy of losing a student no longer depended upon them for every little morsel of food and not be wicked as an evil slave. They must be nothing more than a servant used by God Holy Spirit bowing as a lowly stone step upon to help one look up to where truth is found. In all manner of teaching they push the child into Spirit and truth, not for any selfish motive, or reasoning, but freely as they themselves have been given, if indeed they have been taught by Spirit and truth from above? They must free their students to the power and control of the flesh putting them under Holy Spirit directing their lives.

If glory goes to a servant let it be by God in the secret place of their heart and not the glory of men. If one is enslaved by the flesh through a religion, and they cannot be feed from above than they must separated themselves because God's Spirit will not give its glory to corruption of a religion. It will not promote a lie because of our good motives in staying. Rather stays or leave let is be by faith and not fear of loss. Let it be as a assignment from God too you, not the thing you wish to do because you think you can help.

Truth is not complicated, truth does not make our flesh feel better, it will take the power of our flesh away, it will kill the works of the flesh in us, and it will sober us up to righteousness. The flesh is in fear of truth, it hides from the light. Truth from Christ comes down to us from above, and is sharper than a two edge swords it divides man's faulty sinful reasoning of his flesh from the spirit, and conquerors them bring each sinful thought under judgment as not coming from God the truth.

Titus 1:2 in hope of eternal life, which God, who can't lie, promised before time began;

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

1 John 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and don't tell the truth.

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.

Death is in all our ways, thus, death of our reasoning must be killed by God, for life to be restored to the human race. The consequence of death is the disappointment most feel over religion, but refused to accept the truth from above. This is what truth lovers understand God will sanctify his name from all unrighteousness done by human in the name of God.

Ezekiel 36:23 I will sanctify my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am Yahweh, says the Lord Yahweh, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

Once a student of the bible understand this fundamental truth God's Spirit will direct their lives and their disappointment and joys will no longer be a work from their own flesh having a label of coming from God by false religious teachings. God will not take away the temptation of our flesh, he allows us to live in them, and learn from them. He allows our flesh to control us and kill us to his Spirit and truth at times, but why?

1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Building up in Love

When we accept as a Christian's some fundamental truths we find life, and we find it in abundance beyond what is common to human, beyond this world, and beyond the corruption of our fleshly mind which we cannot imagine isn't correct.

Ephesians 1:19 and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might

Ephesians 1:21 far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come.

If one has a bag of seed and it is weeds, can we expect by the power of our good will, our loves, our hates, to change that bag of weed seeds into wheat? Can we go to a law of a government, a religion, a business and uphold those laws righteously, which are good, and in our doing so will make weed into wheat seed? No! We can't! Moreover, we should be glad its not expect of us, and God does not makes us responsible for doing so. We have but a simple choice given us like Adam? Do we think we are a god that we can changes times and season, and kinds of seeds into wheat? No! We accept we are not gods the power to change a weed seeds into a new creation of wheat is not in us, but in the power of God. Nor is it in our bibles, our teachings, our good motives, our loves, or our hates; we are not the creator.

John 7:17 If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.

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.

Subsequently, when our god is killed, that is, our fleshly mind and its powerful reasoning, we find what? The truth of ourselves, which is, nothing good dwells in my flesh no matter how noble I feel or think it does not change my kind, my seeds of weeds causing death the the Spirit of God, the reasoning of my mind does not change me from a sinner into a non-sinner God's power does.

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. 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.

Wow! You say I don't want to kill God's Spirit the mind of Christ by my thoughts, I love God, my motives are better than that! No they are not that is a lie and you know that is a lie and the death of God's Spirit in you convicts you of thoughts of death.

Rom.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. 8:6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace; 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. 8:8 Those who are in the flesh can't please God.

What is left, if your exposed, you have killed your relationship with God, and those of your brothers in Christ, by fleshly pride, or God's love? Now your faced with a choice, chose your ways of death, or chose the ways of life, Christ Jesus life indwelling you by his Spirit giving you the mind of Christ or remain in your sins for pride of your flesh. Would you help someone that kills you a hundred times a day or more by selfish self pursuits? No! We would not because the truth says nothing good dwells in our flesh not even the thoughts of being that forgiving towards are brothers or fellowman. Now we see and experience the truth of our members, not false reasoning justify by religion or some scripture we used to justify our actions.

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 God forgives and restores because of something Christian's just can't wrap their fleshly minds around, unmerited kindness, undeserved kindness. He brings us back into Spirit and truth of Christ mind freeing us from judgment and guilt from our own ways by what we think is a powerful righteous point we must stand up for. We are taught compassion, we are taught the mind of Christ, not of this world, we are taught love the mind of a new world, a new creation where death cannot exist from the judgment of the fleshly mind sold under sin. Here is the building up in love that weeds cannot know according to their kind.

Rom. 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 8:36 Even as it is written, "For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter."{Psalm 44:22} 8:37 No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 8:39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The flesh is under judgment, it is dead, its thinking is death, do you actually know why? What point are we making if we have a bag of weeds, and we judge them evil and worthless, will they become wheat producing good fruit for life? Why would a person eating wheat worry about the judgments of weeds that is the laws governing them that make them weeds, which are dead to producing food for life?

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.

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;

They wouldn't not unless they are deceived, by words, or they think they are a god with power to change what God does not change and make acceptable to him.

2 Corinthians 1:17 When I therefore was thus determined, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the "Yes, yes" and the "No, no?"

Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.

Galatians 5:24 Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

Discerning Spirit and Flesh

Are you confused between your flesh and its motives, and God's Spirit and its motives? If so you are trying to find something good in your flesh to label righteous and good for God's works of eternal life. Doing so make us drunk spiritually. Confusion is found in our mixing truth with a lie, which is a lie! We have made ourselves drunk because we demand God accepts our flesh and its motives as his truth. We expend energy pursuing our lust in life, we cannot get are wants and needs meant by our prayer, we find the fruit of our ways instead, it as if we just can't take our hand away from our unrighteousness found in our flesh, what we want on this earth.

Rom.7:24 What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death? 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ, our Lord! So then with the mind, I myself serve God's law, but with the flesh, the sin's law.

James 4:13 Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow let's go into this city, and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit."
4:14 Whereas you don't know what your life will be like tomorrow. For what is your life? For you are a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away. 4:15 For you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that." 4:16 But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.

What good dwells in the flesh if it is dead and produce weeds, yeast, sin, and corruption too the Spirit of God? Why do we keep kick against the goads? Why do we demand and become angry, why do we judge other so harshly in our hearts while lying to them in person. It is because nothing, now listen, not a little bit, or somewhat of good dwells in our flesh, but nothing, do you love truth that much to see the truth of sin in the human race?

Jer.17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it? 17:10 I, Yahweh, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.

Our fallen flesh cannot reveal too us the truth of God, we must be given it upon our acceptance of our condition in sin. God will give us His Spirit, but he won't promote our needs and wants from our flesh which are lies to the truth of eternal life just because we label them as good or we judge them as good from our good motives.

1Cor.3:11 For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ. 3:12 But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or stubble; 3:13 each man's work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man's work is.
3:14 If any man's work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward. 3:15 If any man's work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.
3:16 Don't you know that you are a temple of God, and that God's Spirit lives in you? 3:17 If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him; for God's temple is holy, which you are.
3:18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.

One Powerful Seed

What is innocent about sin? What good does it give to life eternal? Can one seed corrupt all of God's creation? Yes! It can and has, one little seed of a lie. One little seed of personal good motive to protect a person feeling is death to God, it will corrupts all truth need to sustain eternal life is truth and righteousness for that person.

Luke 4:8 Jesus answered him, "Get behind me Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.'"{Deuteronomy 6:13}

Matthew 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."

What judgment do you chose as life, yours own from sin of the flesh that lives a lie daily, or God standards of eternal life? Do you really love truth? If so than you are under undeserved kindness upon undeserved kindness. Nothing in your life, or its works is going to give you or another person eternal life with God. If you really think so, you are going to come to a profound lesson of humility. Your world is going to be destroyed as of no value at all, no purpose for God's new heavens and earth. You will be found in the dust as the serpent in the Garden of Eden whom sought glory for himself in an elevated position by his wisdom that brings death to all whom are taken in by his self-seeking lust for power and recognition among his brothers angels.

Philip.2:5 Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,
2:6 who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider equality with God a thing to be grasped, 2:7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. 2:8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross. 2:9 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name;

Coming to the Mountain of YHWH!

Coming up from corruption of this world through the thinking of our fleshly mind. We must come out of death thinking first, or die in our sin of self-righteousness. We must say” “Holy, Holy, Holy is Jehovah we exist in death and are unclean in our lips!”
Isa.Isaiah 6:5 Then I said, "Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of Armies!" 6:7 He touched my mouth with it, and said, "Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin forgiven."

It is the Spirit of God in truth that take us up on his mountain, not are own. It is our recognition that in every way mankind's rulership has failed the human race. It is our own recognition of our flesh where noting good dwells in it that leads us to asking God by his power brings us up to his mountain high above all mountains of men.

1Cor.11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup. 11:29 For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, if he doesn't discern the Lord's body. 11:30 For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep. 11:31 For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn't be judged. 11:32 But when we are judged, we are punished by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

Mich. 4:1 But in the latter days, it will happen that the mountain of Yahweh's temple will be established on the top of the mountains, and it will be exalted above the hills; and peoples will stream to it.
4:2 Many nations will go and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths." For out of Zion will go forth the law, and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem;
4:3 and he will judge between many peoples, and will decide concerning strong nations afar off. They will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war any more.

God is not reforming this world, we are sad and foolish as human can be if we think God is going to make us new from yeast of sin, we are as foolish as servant can be to thinking some of mankind thinking is going to restore eternal life to mankind. We are as foolish as we can be if we think God is going to share his glory with mankind failure through Satan system of things. God is going to remove these mountain and heaves created from sin of the fleshly mind he is not going to sieve through fleshly thoughts for some good to make into the bread of life having no sin or its yeast of leaven.

1 Corinthians 5:7 Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed in our place.

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."

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.

The elements of this world darkness created by the good and evil of man will hiss like fire when Christ harvest comes. He will separated the truth from the lie, he will separated the wheat from the weeds, he will glorify God's name, nothing of man building upon his foundation of this earth will stand this test coming upon all the inhabited earth. Those made new by Holy Spirit perfected in faith by the mind of Christ under his law of love as part of their personality created by God will, will get their rewards because of Christ workings in them by Spirit.

Ephesians 1:19 and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might.

Ephesians 4:16 from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies, according to the working in measure of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in love.

Those still of the flesh thinking some good dwells in their flesh, by practice of works of the flesh, will be tested by fire coming out of the Great Tribulation where they have been washed white in the blood of the lamb, meaning they have had their fleshly thought put to death in Christ, that is, the thought of the sinful mind that started the human race into death by Adam and Eve.

Mark 13:20 Unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the sake of the chosen ones, whom he picked out, he shortened the days.

Luke 3:6 All flesh will see God's salvation.'"{Isaiah 40:3-5}

Revelation 17:16 The ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the prostitute, and will make her desolate, and will make her naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.

Rev.7:13 One of the elders answered, saying to me, "These who are arrayed in white robes, who are they, and from where did they come?" 7:14 I told him, "My lord, you know." He said to me, "These are those who came out of the great tribulation. They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb's blood.

They will stand before God as if there is no wall separating them as unholy, right in the present of God like Adam was before sinning, communing with the source of life. Flesh will no longer be a wall a darkness between man and God. There is no law against Spirit and truth, no hindrance, which is the present of God rather in heaven or upon earth.

Revelation 22:3 There will be no curse any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants serve him.

Galatians 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, "Cursed is everyone who doesn't continue in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them."{Deuteronomy 27:26}

Galatians 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,"{Deuteronomy 21:23}

Thank you!

Brian

I always look forward in hearing from you. Hope things are good in your life? I am thankful these writings are helpful in your faith that always makes my work enjoyable.

Your Brother in Christ,

Daniel

Hi Daniel
I'm a very mixed up soul my kind man, i know we all are but it seems that it is always easier to belive the bad stuff instead of the good stuff.. I allways hear a ring of truth when I take in your spiritual exsortations not that I get it all but what i can digest it sticks with me. For that I'm thankfull it keeps me spiritually afloat so to speak often before you make your point my heart knows were you are going, I hopefully take this as His spirit may be leading me to some exstent.. but in the end it will be His will not mine and that concept is a tricky one for one who was a man of works for many decades..
May our grand heavenly Father bless your tireless efforts in sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.

Hi Brain!

I think our very nature is works, it is only the revelation from above that helps us understand truth from Christ mind. Really, as we wrestle with unmerited kindness, and our flesh that just can't stop doing works of merit. It is the Spirit that gives us rest and peace this sustains us with a little help when we needed it.

I truly believe faith is walking on water by Spirit something outside of ourselves, when we have this flesh screaming at all times in doubt and fear. This is why Paul actually stated the truth; “that nothing good dwelt in his flesh”.

This is why the Israelite were led from watering hole to watering hole learning that man does not live on bread alone, but every utterance from our Fathers mouth. You are not alone in this struggle, your just honest, there is no magic bullet; faith in God love is the hardest thing for the flesh, it can't know it, and will never know it, but in our spirit we know it, and we know it as truth, it does have a ring. This is why Christ said: “I know my sheep they listen to my voice, they won't listen to false Shepard.”

We can never get it perfect, because it not our determination in our flesh to perfect what must be perfected in spirit. That is why even Christ said: “Why do you call me good? One is good the Father!” Faith will not let us go, trusting God never fails, and the nice thing about it God will give us enough faith to help us at the needed time, you are in good hands my brother.

Daniel
