Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. The greatness of the Word of God is its integrity, by which it is without error nor deception. If contradictions arise, it is the reader’s lack of perception. So then, let it be an opportunity to gain a better insight. The passages below are some of that which we avert, for the lack of understanding, but with a willing mind, they shall be made known. The supposedly simplest commandment among Christians, is the most broken commandment. Before the exposition of this topic, let the understanding of the 10 Commandments be known, which is also called the Decalogue, or the Covenant. As a covenant, it serves as a contract, a mutual agreement, as between two or more persons. In this case, this covenant is between God and men, written by God. What are the 10 commandments? The assumption for many is that the commandments and the keeping thereof generates instant righteousness in the individuals who observe and keep them as it is written. If that is the case, at what period does the individual reaches perfection? If perfection is obtained within this covenant between God and man, does God become obsolete because man is now self-righteous and perfect? To this we say, by no means were these laws meant to generate self-righteousness within the individual, for man in himself cannot obtain perfection by the keeping of the Law, by his will, or intellect. (Galatians 2:16) Neither is the believer on a path of becoming a god. So then, the 10 commandments are a reminder of that which is right and that which is wrong. Therefore, as a covenant and a contract between God and man, its intent is to bring together the two parties within the covenant. Therein, the lesser of the covenant will look to the greater of the covenant for the keeping thereof. The lesser of the covenant is the believer and the greater is God. As a parent expects the best from a child by showing them right from wrong, knowing that expectation is the path to do right. However, expectation does not bring about an instant result of perfection. ​ Therefore, the 10 commandments reveal the will of God to the believer. Even as a believer, there are times we will fall short of doing that which we ought not to do. Romans 3:23. However, by knowing the will of God, which is revealed to us through these commandments, His will serve as a guideline to keep us on the path of that which is right. On the contrary, they do not serve as a means of perfection in us. Rather, it shows the believer, God’s perfection and our need for His holiness by abiding in His covenant. ​ Herein we see the list of the Laws as follows: You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself any idol, nor bow down to it or worship it. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Honor your father and your mother. You must not commit murder. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not give false evidence against your neighbor. You must not covet your neighbor’s goods. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor anything that belongs to your neighbor. ​ If the Christian will consider the Laws above in relation to the least, of which is unlikely to be broken; for many Christians, the first commandment, the second, and the sixth are presumably the ones that are likely not to be broken. The third commandment will suffice as well. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain. ​ Without further commentary on the 10 laws, the third is the focus of the exposition. In hope to bring out the lesson concerning the topic. For the third is the most broken law in the life of the believer who doesn’t fully understand the purpose of the 10 commandments and the Christian dependency on God. ​ The misconception by and large, for most Christians concerning the third commandment is as follow: The commandment is kept because I do not use the name of the Lord unnecessarily to express shock, excitement or disbelief. I do not swear in vain with the name of the Lord. I do not utter profanities before the Lord’s name I do not randomly use the name of the Lord to express what I feel. ​ Therefore, the misconception is the commandment is kept. This applies to the other commandments as well. Thou shall not commit murder , for an example. Most Christians will declare, I have not murdered, and I will never take the life of another. However, he or she who hates another as a believer, is a murderer. This we read according to (1 John 3:15) Whosoever hates his brother is a murderer: and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. That is to say, though hatred burns in the hearts of men walking this earth, but their end is without life, but eternal damnation, the separation from God. For those who minds are framed with murder, or as the Greek renders it, a manslayer. Of which are carnally-minded, and to be carnally-minded is death (Romans 8:6) Shall we then say, certain of the 10 commandments are easier to keep than the others? ​ Likewise, if the four points listed above are observed in like manners in the life of the individual concerning the third commandment; but without the proper understanding which is the right faith, then the believer is likely already breaking the third commandment unknowingly. ​ Likewise, if the four points listed above are observed in like manners in the life of the individual, concerning the third commandment; but without the proper understanding which is the right faith, then the believer is likely already breaking the third commandment unknowingly. ​ Let the believer ask themselves, am I struggling to do the right thing in my will power, but every attempt is a failure in hope to do that which is right? If so, you as a believer are breaking the third commandment. The name of the Lord is Jehovah Jireh – The Lord who provides , so then, considering He is your provider, but you as a believer are looking elsewhere for your provision; consequently, you are taking the name of your God in vain. ​ Is the believer struggling to do the right thing, in living the Christian life, but is failing daily? Know you not the name of the Lord is Jehovah-Tsidkenu – Your Righteousness? If you are trying to be righteous by your own standards, or Church denominational values, you as a believer are taking the name of your God in vain. For He is Jehovah-Tsidkenu – Your Righteousness . ​ As a believer, are you looking to others for spiritual protection? Then you are taking the name of your God in vain, for He is Jehovah-Rohi – your Shepherd . Consequently, looking elsewhere for spiritual protection is forsaking who God is by taking His name in vain. ​ If the believer is seeking deliverance, but through the laying on hands by other individuals, or through a regimen, consequently, the believer has taken the name of their God in vain, for He is Jehovah -Moshi'ech – your Savior. These and more we perceive with a willing heart that the truth therein may set us free. Freedom from the guilt of doing the wrong things through ignorance, so that we may do that which is right, having received the Truth. Or may the heart of the believer be set free from the guilt of the past, of those things we aren’t proud of, but knowing it is not what we do, it is what God does in us as we believe in Him. For He is Jehovah-Go'el – our Redeemer. ​ Swaggart once wrote concerning this; in the Law, God sets forth His standard of Righteousness, in other words, what man ought to be. ​ This we know, we cannot be what we ought to be without Him. Though we cannot perfectly keep the commandments, but there is One who kept it all. The Lord Jesus Christ, this He did on our behalf. Now, as believers, we place our faith in Him because when we are in Him by faith, we become Law keepers and not Lawbreakers. ​ This we ask once again, are certain of the 10 commandments easier to keep than the others? Neither of them is easier than the others. For if you keep all and break one, you are guilty of breaking all. (James 2:10) Though it is God’s standard of what Righteousness ought to be, but we in ourselves cannot obtain Righteousness through our will power, but the Law serves as a reminder to keep trusting in the Lord. ​ Forgive us . . . and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen ​ ​ __________________________________ ​ 🎨PSW·3✒© > Related topics < Share

The Five Offerings of Leviticus The Five Offerings Part 2, The Meat Offering Share Miscellaneous Writings A five-part series dealing with the five Offerings of Leviticus. ​​ The Burnt Offering The Meal Offering The Peace Offering The Sin Offering The Trespass Offering The Meat Offering , like the Burnt Offering , both offerings denote consumption. May we be separate from the ill things of this world that we may be consumed in Christ, to Whom the Offerings represent. As aforementioned, these things were a shadow of that which was to come, we do not practice them for they were fulfilled in Christ, of whom they all pointed to in types, symbols and shadows. Thus, He said; search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me. (John 5:39) Therefore, as we search the scriptures concerning the topic of the Five Offerings , let us not viewed them as a legalistic command that must be enacted to earn God’s grace. Nevertheless, through the revelations therein we shall contract a glimpse of the wonders acts of God throughout the ages. The second of the five offerings to expound is that of the Meat Offering, or the Meal Offering. Although the Leviticus Offerings are unique within themselves, as distinct offerings, we learn of their importance separately through these studies, but their greatness is only realized when they are presented as a whole, together, they all represent Christ our Lord, and our relationship with him. Through the studies, we will expound each Offerings as a distinct offering, so that we may better understand our relation to the offerings in types and shadows and overall the representation of the offerings as Christ, in our lives. Even Though we study the two Offerings separately, (The Burnt Offering and the Meat Offering) but they must be viewed as the continuation of one. The first dealt with the gruesome effect of sin and the remedy thereof. Now, the latter give us an insight to the gratitude for the remission of sin. Where a tremendous gift is obtained, gratitude must be seen. For this gratitude, we will expound the Meat offering , which is also called the Grain Offering . ​ The Hebrew word describing the Meat Offering is the word minchah , which means a gift, with the idea of an inferior giving a gift to a superior. Humanity in its fallen state is the inferior, when we as believers recognizes the blessings of God unto us, let us not dwell on the constant state of only seeing our shortcomings, but with the heart of gratitude, may we present our Meat Offering to the Lord. ​ Though the word meat is used in the name of this Offering; however, it had nothing to do with a flesh of an animal, like that of the Burnt offering. This isn’t a contradiction nor a misunderstanding, but rather a difference in the use and the understanding of words, then and now. ​ The period of the Offerings The time of the Offerings was that of Israel of old. Today, the word “meat” refers to a flesh; however, during the time of our text, in Biblical days, meat simply referred to food, usually grains. Consequently, this offering in its names as Meat Offering, or Grain Offering, it can also be referred to as the Meal Offering , as indicated in the title. ​ For this study, the titles will be used interchangeably, with Grain Offering being the focus of the exposition. The background of the Meat Offering and its applications toward us and to the Lord. The Meat Offering also refers to as the Grain Offering, its latter name should give us a better insight to the implication of the offering. As a Grain offering , it came from the harvest of the land. Now, considering a harvest is the season of reaping and gathering, consequently, before we reap and gather that which is needful to us, we must labor to do that which is right. The Grain Offering symbolized the recognition of God’s blessing to the believer through the harvest of the land; however, before the time of blessing, there must be the time of sacrifice. Since we in ourselves cannot be a sacrifice for the cause to a change, so Christ became our sacrifice. This is represented through the previous offering, the Burnt Offering. Therein, blood was represented for the remission of sin. Christ died on the Cross once, and resurrected. Today, when we place our faith in Christ, we died to the sin nature that we may rise in newness of life. Herein, this is clearly represented in the Grain Offering, as the Burnt offering represented Christ death, the Grain Offering represents His life. Since He live, let us live also by the reason of faith in Him. ​ The substance of the Grain Offering and its preparation in relation to Christ. For the introduction to this, we read according to the second chapter of Leviticus. When any will offer a meat offering unto the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour ; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon Leviticus 2:1 The points of interest giving herein are, fine flour, oil and frankincense, but before the exposition, let us first proceed to the circumstances surrounding the preparation. The flour and the oil were to be baked in an oven, or in a pan, or fried in a frying pan. Though fire is portrayed here like that of the Burnt Offering, however, the fire spoken of here is not of judgment, but rather the newness of life, or the forming of something new through the purge of flame. ​ Likewise, the Grain Offering in its representation of Christ, though it is presented with fire, but without judgment the offering serves a new life for all who will freely partake. ​ The Grain Offering representing Christ in His perfection. As previously mentioned, the Grain Offering was to be a fine flour with oil and frankincense . Fine flour The fine flour spoken of here denotes Christ in His perfection. The fine refers to that which is thoroughly grind. There was not a single grain found in the fine flour, but all even and without any unevenness, rendering it smooth without any roughness to the touch. Such is Christ our Lord. In Him is nothing uneven, nor the roughness and harshness of this world had anything on Him, no matter the pressure and circumstance of this world when he did walk among us, He stays the same, smooth and perfected throughout His being. In Him there is nothing unseemly or forbidding. He was anointed with the oil of the Holy Spirit, that is to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Luke 4:1 ​ The fine flour formed the basis of the Meat Offering. Therefore, all that we present to God, may Christ be the center of it all, in His perfection. The next substance of the offering was that of the oil. ​ Oil He shall pour oil upon it (The fine flour) Once again, herein we see the representation of our blessed Lord as our representative man to God our Father. The phrase, and He shall pour oil upon it, refers to the oil being poured on the fine flour, wherewith it adds to the substance of the fine flour while becoming one with the fine flour, it ushers in a total transformation. As Christ is our example, we seek to be like Him. In His perfection like unto the fine flour, we cried, dear Lord remove all the imperfection in me, make me as one with Thee. However, let us not seek perfection without the pouring in of the Holy Spirit in us, the representation of the oil being pour into the fine flour. Though a man and a woman can put themselves through all the religious regiments of purification, day in and day out, to smooth out all the imperfections like that of the fine flour. However, without the pouring in of the oil, the representation of the Holy Spirit in their lives, he or she is nothing more, but a fine specimen waiting to be blown by every wind that flows, forgotten and lost, but with the Holy Spirit in us, we formed a new substance, ready to be presented to the Lord. May we be a sweet savor to our God through Christ our Lord. For this, we will observe the third substance of the Grain Offering. ​ Frankincense And he (The one bringing the offering) shall bring it to Aaron's sons the priests: and he shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar , to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the LORD Leviticus 2:2 Like the oil, which was poured upon the fine flour, here we see the third substance, (frankincense) to be “put” on the fine flour in the preparation of the Grain Offering. The word “put” that is used here, it gives us a deeper insight to the preparation. The Hebrew word for put in this passage is nathan (naw-than') and in its many meanings such as, to give, set or consecrate , the latter shall suffice in the exposition of the passage. To consecrate means to set apart and bless . ​ Such was the Grain Offering, a portion was set apart, with the frankincense being poured thereon. Frankincense is bitter, therefore, the portion set apart here, or consecrated wasn’t meant for eating. Frankincense serves in two aspects, the physical and the spiritual . ​ The white-like color of the frankincense represents the purity of Christ our Lord and the reflection wherewith He is reflected in us to the world, this is the physical aspect. Secondly, the representation of its fragrance while burning with the portion of the Grain Offering on the altar , it served as the spiritual aspect of the two. May we not only be seen outwardly as righteous, but through Christ, our work and dealing may serve as a sweet fragrance to the Lord on high. The merging of the two, the outward appearance of purification and the inward representation of righteousness ushers in the state of intercession and prayer . Let us take hold the need of adding prayer to our sacrifice, that through Christ we may be acceptable by God. This we know, Christ is our Intercessor who lives forever. Therefore, He is able, now and always, to save those who come to God through Him because He lives forever to plead with God for us all. Hebrews 7:25. ​ No one comes to God without going through Jesus Christ. John 14:6 No one comes to Jesus Christ without abiding at the Cross. Luke 9:23 The altar during the time of our text, is the representation of the Cross of today. As it was at the altar the consecration of the Grain Offering was made to be accepted as a sweet savor to God and for a memorial ; likewise, can we as believers today bypass the Cross and expect to be accepted by God? Certainly not. The Cross spoken of here isn’t a representation of a physical object to which we pray, nor that which is proudly displayed in homes, or on oneself. The Cross of Christ to the Christian is the memorial of Christ’s Triumph and victory over sin on our behalf. Colossians 2:14-15 . Shall we then not herald from where our victory was won and abide therein? The memorial The Grain Offering of then, may it serve to us today and all eternity as a memorial of Christ our offering to God our Father. Therein, may we never forget what the Lord has done for us as the perfect sacrifice in our stead. For God our Father will never forget. Now, thanks be unto God, which always causes us to triumph in Christ, and makes manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved. 2 Corinthians 2:14-15 The varieties of food in the Grain Offering, but with consistency of perfection There were diverse representations of food to celebrate the offering. From the fine flour mix with oil and first-fruits came: Baked cakes Baked pan cakes (flat) Fried pan cakes (flat) First-fruits of crops Though diverse, in their representation, but their consistent rules for preparation became the unity for their perfection, in that they were all to have salt in them. Salt The uniqueness of salt is that it serves as a preservative and a type of the Word of God . Therefore, as we are preserved in Christ to the Father, may all things we do, be carried out with the input of the Word of God . This we read; And every oblation (offering) of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer (allow) the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt . Leviticus 2:13 Let the reader observe the repetition in the verse above, with the word salt being the key to the partition of three phrases. Repetitions in the Scriptures serve as a means to bring attention to a cause wherewith the reader ought to take heed. ​ And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt Neither shalt thou suffer (allow) the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering With all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt . Now, let us expound each partition as one, with Christ being the focus, and our relation to Him. And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt Salt is a preservative and a savor. As Christ is a sweet savor to the Father on our behalf, from everlasting to everlasting for the preservation of us all. Now, in all things we do, let it be done with savor (the sensation of that which is good) In joy for the preservation between us and God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Neither shalt thou suffer (allow) the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering From the preceding passage, herein we are again reminded of God's prescribed order. Like the Tabernacle of old, one could not get to the Holy place and the Holy of Holies, without first approaching the Brazen Altar . The representation of the Cross of Christ . Likewise, today, let the believer be reminded, the relationship through the Covenant wherewith he or she stands with God, it is because of Christ Jesus (the salt) and never shall this establishment be lacking from what we are to God and Who He is to us. The salt of the covenant represents the incorruptible character of the covenant, and its cleansing properties. For He who is the keeper of the covenant is Christ. All that we do, may we apply Christ, the Word of God to our conversation. (Way of life) With all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt In all that we do, let it be done with the sensation of that which is good, for the keeping of the everlasting covenant. Everlasting, for He who mends the covenant is Christ Jesus, the everlasting One. All that we are and all that we do, let us abide in Christ, lest without Him we drift with pride, claiming to perfection while denying the power thereof, and without the show of that which is holy in our lives. Thus, was the warning of the two substances forbidden from the Grains Offering, leaven and honey . No meat offering, which ye shall bring unto the LORD, shall be made with leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of the LORD made by fire. Leviticus 2:11 That which was excluded from the offering then, (leaven and honey) the two will serve as a warning in our relationship with the Lord, today. Unlike, the salt, which is the representation of the word of God, in its characteristics of preservation and cleansing. On the contrary, leaven is the opposite. Therefore, it was excluded from the Grain Offering, which represents Christ. For in Him there is no pride nor corruption. Today, if Christ, the Word of God is not the center of who we are and of our conversation, we in essence invite corruption into our lives, as one of the attributes of a leaven is putrefaction. Though decaying from within through immorality, yet the individual sees not his or her demise. For the second attribute of a leaven is the ability to cause a substance wherewith it comes in contact with to swell and rise. However, the rising effect of a leaven upon a substance is not of a solid representation, but a fluff. Like a bread made with leaven, from its outward appearance, it presents the image of being big and full, but with pressure on the bread, it deflates, while losing its false appearance. Such is pride in the life of an individual. For they are blind in their wrongdoing, but pompous with false exaltation. As we read and study the types and symbols of that which was then, to be applied to our lives now, let us not focus only on that which is forbidden such as the leaven. Lest we forget the reason for our study, the Lord Jesus Christ. The Grain Offering in its portrayal of Christ, represents in us a voluntary act of worship . Therewith, we recognize God’s goodness and provision. Therefore, as leaven represents other things, and pride, may we be the opposite of those things, along with pride, by coming into His presence with a humble spirit and thanksgiving. The worship of God should not be governed by our fancies, nor do we only worship based on that which is pleasing to us. For this reason, symbolically honey was the second of the two-substance omitted from the Grain offering. Though pleasing to man through our taste and sensibility, but true offering to God should be predicated on gratitude rather than pleasure. From these we perceive the spiritual implications, so that we take hold to that which we have learned. Let us not be fill with pride, nor only desire that which is pleasing, lest we soon become like certain religious leaders of old, to whom Christ issue a rebuttal saying; You are always searching the scriptures, because, as for you, you think that in them you are having life eternal. And those are the ones which testify concerning me. And yet you do not desire to come to me in order that you may be having life. These we received, and humbly we pray as the apostle Paul once prayed. LORD, THAT I MAY KNOW YOU! ​ ​ ____________________________________ 🎨PSW·3✒© ​ Share

Miscellaneous Writings JESUS OPENS BLIND EYES Dwelling on misfortune or seeking the solution to the problem? Share John 9:2-3 (2) And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? (3) Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. ​ Customary of those days, accompanied with a rabbi were His disciples. Their day to day learning from the master served as a channel from which others around them were blessed and taught, as they were taught through their curiosity. The many who watched and followed, learned as well, through the teaching of the Master to His disciples. So, today, may we learn through the curiosity of the past, serving as a discernment for the present and future. The question to the Master, through the curiosity from His disciples, is that which is typical of men. ​ Man, in his nature without the constant intervention through the reminder of the Holy Spirit to point him to God, his mind will default to virtually all things, but God. The mind of men, when addressing a problem or a situation will seek to address a situation first, by elevating the problem rather than the acceptance of the solution which is God. The place is Jerusalem, the situation is not what it ought to be, therefore the disciples of Christ are perplexed. In this part of Jerusalem, as the Lord passed by, He saw a man which was blind from his birth. The word "saw" used here implies to be aware and to understand. Consequently, Christ having seen this man who was born blind, this was not mere of a view from seeing, rather He saw the situation in its totality. He was aware of the man's problem of being blind from birth. Thus, He understood that through the dark mystery of his blindness, the light of God would shine forth that he may see and others around him will perceive the glory of God. However, the disciples did not understand the acceptance of the solution, which was God in their midst. Therefore, they became perplexed by elevating the problem. This is evident from their question. His disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Here lies a man who has never known what it is to see, though he is aware of seeing, but he cannot see. This is symbolic to the believer, we are aware of that which is right, but in ourselves, we cannot do that which is right without the empowering of the Holy Spirit. ​ The mystery of darkness he bore, his dependency on others as a beggar. The sorrow of not knowing from whence cometh his next meal or provision. Nonetheless, man in his approach to such situation will elevate the problem through accusation and judgment. More so, even the godliest would at times use God to point out a problem, but fail to seek Him for the solution. By elevating the problem, they sought out the perpetrator rather than the solution, by asking who did sin as the result of the man being born blind, the man or his parents? ​ In so doing, they shall justify his problem as a punishment. They incorporated the Lord in their search for an answer, but fails to seek Him to solve the problem. Yet, by grace, Christ did heal this man without condemnation nor accusation against him. The healing of the man born blind served as the restoration of his sight, as well as the healing of the disciples’ heart. This we learn, during a situation we do not understand, let us anticipate the works of God that it should be made manifest. In the words of Christ to His disciples, He said, neither has this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. Christ wasn’t implying that this man was without sin. However, let us as disciples of Christ learn to seek God for the solution of the problem. Though we acknowledged the problem, but we do not elevate the problem over the solution. ​ Even in the darkest of ours and others transgression and situation, may the glory of God shine forth, like the blindness of the eyes receiving its sight for the first time. Having seen clearly, now, may we walk in the right manners. So also, we should walk in newness of life, that we might live a new life. ​ ​ ​ The Lord Jesus Christ came into the world, not only to give light, but sight to those who could not behold light. The sight that He gives to trusting souls proves Him to be the One sent of God to be the true light of the world. Experience of His saving power is a safer teaching than reason, therefore let those whose eyes have been opened be bold to witness to a world that would explain away His power.

Miscellaneous Writings Share Trinity For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father , the Word , and the Holy Ghost : and these three are one . (1 John 5:7) The further evidence of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit as one, is inscribed majestically at the beginning of Scripture. Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. Note, the phrase and God said, the word God is in the singular form, meaning the single one of its kind. However, further in the verse, a new phrase is brought forth. which reads; Let us make man in our image . The word (us) is the objective case of we, denoting the person speaking and another, or others with him. So then, God is one God (Deuteronomy 6:4) , but who were with Him at the creation of man? Was God referring to the angelic host? Absolutely not, man was created in the image and likeness of God and not of the angels. So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created He them (Genesis 1:27) . Yet, the question still lingers, who were the parties that denotes, let us make man in our image? If we are truly searching the Scriptures, our questions are no longer a burden to bear, but the gateway to wisdom and the understanding of God. For we read in (1 John 5:7) there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father , the Word (meaning Jesus) and the Holy Ghost : and these three are one . So then can a person read the infallible Word of God, but yet denial the three as one God? Also known as the Trinity . The repudiation against the Trinity, Father and Son and Holy Ghost in one. Is an indirect attack against Jesus Christ (the Word). An attack against Jesus Christ, is an attempt to keep man in darkness, away from the Light. Jesus Christ is that Light, for He said, I am the light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. (John 8:12). Therefore, if Christ is not wholly seen as fully God and fully man, he who perceive Him partly, is seeing obscurely. Thereby their understanding of Him is limited and the fullness of His blessed wisdom is limited to those who acknowledge Him, yet denying the fact that He is God. The necessity of the believer’s salvation, sanctification and glorification, is predicated upon Jesus being fully God , and fully man . Being fully man, He shall know our weakness, our failures and our needs. Being fully God, He is our strength when we are weak, our gracious God in times of failure. The provider of all our needs and the only forgiver of sin. So then, he who acknowledges Christ as just a man. Has limit the provision of God through Jesus Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily (Colossians 2:9) . Whereas, If Christ is only seen as God, then salvation is not real, for it took the death of the man Jesus Christ for the remission of sin. Then there are who accept Him as the only begotten Son of God, but lower Him as lesser to God. If He is the Son of God who always existed With God and have no beginning, therefore His son-ship differ from the human biological procreation, whereas a human child carries the likeness of both parents. The child inherits half their DNA from each parent. But this we know, before Christ was born of the virgin, He existed in glory (John 17:5) , therefore He have no beginning, neither was He created. So then, unlike a human child which carries in its body a representation of both parents. Christ as the Son of God has no mother, thereby Christ is 100 percent His Father, who is His Father? His Father is God. Hence, Jesus Christ is fully God. Yet, He took on the form of man, to redeem man from sin and pay the price of sin by His death on the Cross, but God cannot die. Therefore, He became man, a perfect man as the perfect Sacrifice to die in the place of sinful man. As He is fully God, He is fully man, if He is half man, then only half of our sins were paid for on the Cross. For we know He cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9) . Being fully man, He had to become like us in order to save us. Yet, as the perfect man. In our imperfection, we received His perfection. Christ is our fully man and our fully God. If He is half God, then we cannot be fully reconciled with God. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily (Colossians 2:9) Therefore let us not limit the blessing of God to us by limiting who Christ is and what He has done for us. Consequently, he who comes to Christ must accept Him wholly for Who He is, fully man and fully God. Lest your salvation is incomplete and your glorification is in doubt.

Miscellaneous Writings PROTECTION IS PREPARATION God is faithful to protect those who are called by His Name, His people. (Psalms 46:7) As God's people, protection is not a luxury, but rather a provision for proclamation. God did not protect Elijah in the Brook Cherith as a mean of a leisure time during famine and precaution. Neither did He protect Moses from the power of Egypt for 40 years, in order for him to sail into the sunset happily ever after. Instead, when we are protected by God, we learn not to fear those things we feared that we are protected from. That in due time we may learn about the Grace and Power of God and boldly say, Thus saith the LORD God. (Exodus 9:13) Like in the written lyrics of Ray E. Heady: In The Shelter Of His Arms When my soul was troubled with sorrow And my heart was broken within Jesus opened His arms of mercy And He tenderly took me in There is peace in the time of trouble There is peace in the midst of the storm There is peace though the war be raging In the shelter of His arm There is peace though the war be raging In the shelter of His arms Though this war all around be raging And it is filled with many, many alone Trust in Jesus, He will keep you In the shelter of His arms In closing, the Words of the Master, is the sure solid foundation. These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. (John 16:33) ​ ____________________________________ 🎨PSW·3✒© # Protection BACK Share
