What is of Earth Belongs to The Earth

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.

Is the earth light, is its God light? What is the valley of death, and deep shadows our bibles speak of?

Why are there two languages one from above, and one from below, that is, our earth? Speaking things of the earth does it interest God, or does he hear when we speak things of the earth? What does God hear, and why should Christ Jesus make a distinction between heavens and earth? (supra)

Does God Hear The Things Below?

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.

Really isn’t this one of humans biggest problem with God we feel God is far off from us that he is distance and not concern with us on the earth and/or we believe all things of earth are from God’s, good and bad!

Have we considered this as Christian that there is a vast chasm between heaven and earth, a valley of death and deep shadows that God has never walked in nor did he created it, or condone or even knows in his own incorruptibility?

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.

The Land of Idolatry

Humans are not gods, eventhough, they have make themselves into god’s by judging good and evil of other humans, God makes it abundantly clear mankind was not created by him to be god’s, or for human’s to judge good and evil. The first sin was taking the right from God to judge for ourselves what is good and evil.

Because of that first sin we have our own language, which is, not from above from God’s language, rather is from below, that is, from our earth that the God YHWH does not speak, God is not of this world or from this world. In fact, God has never been part of this world or is he a friend of this world.

James.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.

Hence, all things from below, that is, created from this world, by human’s being birthed into this world, is opposed to God! God did not create a valley of death for mankind to walk in, mankind is born into a valley of death from the first sin that they cannot get out of by the language from below.

Psalms 23:4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Subsequently, the world of mankind is in darkness to God, and is alienated from God who is the light from above. Thus, human’s must search for the light, while it can be found. If they think like the world and speak the language from below they can’t find the light from above from the God of light in his world and in his language.

2 Corinthians 4:6 seeing it is God who said, "Light will shine out of darkness,"{Genesis 1:3} who has shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 5:8 For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,

Acts 17:27 that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

Existing in Idolatry

Our existence on earth is a land of idolatry, why? Because we can’t know God from darkness, so God in darkness is make believe for those walking by sight making one an idolater .

We see through human’s physical eyes requirs sight, hearing, and touch we make self-proclaimed about God who we can’t see causing us to create Grues of God we because God is from above not of this world and we don’t see or hear him, nor touch him physically.

Unfortunately, they to being human in sin these grues of God speak of the things of this world, convincing themselves and others they speak for God who is no part of any of this world.

2 Corinthians 5:7 for we walk by faith, not by sight.

Human godship must be felt by our emotions in our flesh found in the power of what is born into flesh, that is, our will power which is from below and projects our lust into God that has no flesh or fleshly acts (desires) not of God and are impossible to have because God is incorruptible, and not human, but Spirit.

1Cor.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.

Humans, because of darkness make God into a man/woman having the same shadowy evils found in themselves to justify their unrighteous godship so others will devote themselves to worshipping worldly idolatry even to the point of dying for it. They variously make other humans gods on earth that convert our strong works of the flesh into worship of idols unwittingly.

Nations have warred over the power of religion expressed through idols of men and woman in the name of what is below, and what is spoken from below which is far away from God’s above in his perfect thoughts not know by this world.

The book of James

Chapter 4

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.
4:5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously"?

The book of James

Chapter 1

1:12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.
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.
1:18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
1:19 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.

God Not Far Off From Each One of Us

God is very near to each one of us, but he is not in our human fleshly thoughts from below on this earth. God will talk to those whom earnestly seek him beyond what this world offer them. In other word, when we give up the thoughts of this world to speak with the God of love He answer us not by flesh, but in Spirit and truth.

There are many idolater between God and man on this earth, those claiming a special relationship in God while loving this world and things in this world. If we are seeking and/or are satisfied with what this world offers putting it in the name of Christ Jesus, than we cannot be apart of God.

2 Peter 1:4 by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.

1 John 2:15 Don't love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love isn't in him.

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.

1 John 2:17 The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God's will remains forever.

God is opposed to this world, Christ was no part of this world, and the world killed Christ Jesus the son of God who God made into his very image.

John 18:36 Jesus answered, "My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldn't be delivered to the Jews. But now my Kingdom is not from here."

The highly treasure relationship with God must be of more value too us than life on this earth. We must willingly be put to death for God’s love, by being hated by this world to receive the life of Christ Jesus in us who is not an idol from this earth, but is Spirit and Truth in us; that has to be worship without sight, but by faith without sight in both the Father and Son.

John 4:23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshippers.

John 4:24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."

Few of us find that road because we have made God into this world, which is polluted with false religion of idol worship by a false mediator to God instead of Christ Jesus. Christ Jesus mediatorship is used by those who master the words of God into the thoughts of this world in darkness alienated from the God of light, the God whom has no darkness in him.

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

1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.

They have taken Christ Jesus mediator ship polluted it into a broad and spacious road leading off into destruction. Their entire lust is to love and protect this world that Christ was no part of. Moreover, they have taken the power of this world, its laws, it corporate laws, its commercialism, songs, and entertainment wiping them on the holy garment of Christ Jesus name thinking the world can be made holy by touching God’s words, deceiving themselves and those that listen.

Matthew 13:44 "Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found, and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.

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."

Matt. 7:13 "Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it. 7:14 How{TR reads "Because" instead of "How"} narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it.

Its not good to have two master, two hearts, two scales, two minds, two tongues when serving the God of unity, who is oneness, and loyalty.
It not good to be the harlot of this world while trying to be married to Christ Jesus, it not good to have two headships, one of this world and one with Christ Jesus. It not good to love darkness, while saying we are in the light!

Matthew 23:10 Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ.

Matthew 6:24 "No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can't serve both God and Mammon.

Luke 16:13 No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You aren't able to serve God and mammon{"Mammon" refers to riches or a false god of wealth.}."

The book of Romans

Chapter 7

7:1 Or don't you know, brothers{The word for "brothers" here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."} (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man for as long as he lives?
7:2 For the woman that has a husband is bound by law to the husband while he lives, but if the husband dies, she is discharged from the law of the husband.
7:3 So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she would be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she is joined to another man.
7:4 Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit to God.
7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law, worked in our members to bring forth fruit to death.

James. 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.

1 John 5:19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

Ephesians 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling;

Ephesians 4:5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
