WHY THE BIBLE IS A MEASURING ROD
THE BIBLE is the rule of faith, though it doesn’t always seem to offer the most in depth explanations, it isn’t designed by God to serve as the sermon book, but source of our marrow for our faith. The only thing the devil is able to do in the light of scripture, is to mislead us, by superimposing his false holiness to us if we are vulnerable for it, (& too weak for our spiritual immune system to cast out & reject immediately,) & to give us a hodgepodge of truths regarding the divinity of Christ, & then forbidding and discouraging us from putting it all in it’s proper order by the power the Holy Spirit giving us that understanding whereby God then gives us that favor & mercy we would be without, if we had no understanding. ISAIAH 27:11 warns us if we are a people of no understanding, the Lord will have no mercy or favor on us.
___ The creed states Jesus is both God & man, & he “took upon himself” human flesh. Assuming this to be true in every regard, since it bears a distinct resemblance to truth, in what way & when did God the son take upon himself human flesh? It would have to be “in the beginning,” as JOHN1:1 states: because there can be no human flesh without a human soul, & all souls had to have a beginning as JOHN1:1 states, & first be either the logos himself, or be chosen in Christ as Paul says we were, who is the logos. Many state this cannot be or Jesus would have a soul like ALL OTHERS, yet it says “he is made so much better than the angels.” If you investigate the nature of angels, you see in REV10&18 very glorious angels, not to mention the power of Satan whose tail “oorah” in Greek, cast out a third of the angels, & turned the world/cosmos into a wilderness making it become without form & void! GEN1:2. Who’s fall weakened the nations, while Jesus Christ is the direct OPPOSITE who “strengthens us enabling us to do all things!” Also by saying Jesus is “made to much better than the angels,” this means “as if they could all be combined as ONE ENTITY, & then glorified over & over without measure like Jesus, JESUS WOULD STILL BE FAR EVEN INFINITELY BETTER & SUPERIOR! Yet Jesus calls himself (to the Lukewarm self justified church who really don’t care about it) “the beginning of the creation of God & firstborn of all the brothers & sisters.” His humanity is true humanity, but it is a superior one of a kind type of humanity taken from the ribs of God, as Eve was from Adam: as John said “he alone is in the bosom of the Father. This implies a very intimate relationship, that though he is parabolically called son, as Isaac called Rebecca his sister, later when he was seen “sporting” with her, (GEN26:8 Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.) they knew if was more than that. PSA 110:1 says we have 2 LORDS as children also have 2 PARENTS. Verse 3 also describes the second Lord, who is the “morning,” as described in ISAIAH 14:12 to have a womb, without which “nothing is made that is made” John says. Many theologians wishing to please Rome: who gives the place of Jesus to Mary & ousts the Father Jehovah out altogether by making Jesus the most high God, wanted to see both these Lords as meaning the same level according to the HEBREW. But it is as Jesus said: “my father is greater than I.” Turns out he was quoting PSALM 110:1!!
___ For Jesus to be God & man he would need both an uncreated & created aspect to him. Jesus told us that “many great wonder workers” would come to him claiming to know him, but Jesus will say, without seemingly any sympathy or hesitation, “depart from me you worker of iniquity, for I never knew you!” What, pray tell, did these miracle working preachers do that caused Jesus to call them WORKERS OF INIQUITY? It would seem a bit harsh for those who apparently lead many to Jesus: having the clues that 1:they did many wonderful works & 2: they professed to know Jesus. Yet Jesus is not impressed, & is even apparently provoked to wrath by them enough to call them “workers of iniquity.”
—- I for one, if I had a wife who did not give my humanity due regard, by her acknowledgment, understanding, assimilation of me by becoming fully united to me as “members of my body flesh & bones,” & who did not treasure those things that I personally treasure, I too would call her a worker of iniquity to my assessment. She can acknowledge my office as governor or president or king or priest or any way I inherited a place in the kingdom of God by my new birth, but if she gave little to no regard to the temple aspect of me, by which I am a bonafide person who has feelings & personal awareness, & struggle to fulfill my role & mission in the sight of my Father in heaven, I would call her a worker of iniquity for giving me no comfort or support in my needs of companionship as a wife ought to do & be for me.
___ I can only likewise assume that Jesus got no understanding from such wonder workers: who took more delight in the anointing than in knowing Jesus. Satan still says “surely you will not die if you sin: because you (like me) still have the anointing!” EZEKIEL 28:14!! —- “”Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so:”” Perhaps like Satan we only care about the position God “set us so” on! Many Jesus said only wanted to be called Rabbi/pastor/reverend etc. All sinners want is the anointing to glorify themselves like a kind of “Superman !” Few ministers with the anointing condescend to wash the feet of our souls, travailing in birth till Christ be formed in them. Paul was far from narcissism & having an “out of sight out of mind” syndrome as such ministers are in regard to the church, but he said the care of all the churches come upon him & if any is offended he “burns” for them, etc. Paul had a semi omnipotent heart that branched out like a tree for all the birds to sit in the branches. Then after his death grievous wolves entered in unawares as Jude said “not sparing the flock.” This was the setting up of the Church of Rome, in REV17:5.
____ Perhaps they claimed to know Jesus, & such hypocrisy & lies further infuriated Jesus to make them “store up wrath unto the day of judgment.” If we are not judged in this lifetime, we will be judged eternally, which is another title of the lake of fire: “eternal judgment.” Jesus bids us to “pass from death to life through love of the brothers & sisters” & he Jesus as “son of man” calls us his brethren! MATT28:10.
___ God says in ISAIAH 1:27 he saves us with his judgment, & so Peter says that “judgment MUST come to the house of God. A church God never judges is a condemned & utterly doomed church! Chastening is part of this judgment: God says if he doesn’t chastise us & rebuke us we are not his children & neither does Jesus love anyone but those who he rebukes & chastens! There is often no noticeable difference between condemnation & chastisement, & so it says “chastising is not joyful but grievous.” If one could just always say “this is God’s loving rebuke” we could bear it, but if the devils are allowed to come as angels of light as Paul says, 2COR11:14, “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.”” & Jesus says “many will come saying I am Christ,” (some equivalent of Christ like a Vicar/substitute =whom one must obey,) then the lines in the sand can be very blurred (to a weak undiscerning Christian) as to whether it is Jesus saying cast the stones or the pharisaical demons!
—- But if Satan finds you’re not the type upon which his roaring/accusing lion nature gets the most traction for his tires on the road to hell, Satan is “humble” enough to wait to spring the surprise of damnation on you & instead catch you with lots of honey: for he is Beelzebub the Lord of the flies! He wears many hats for his 7 heads: so no one is left out of his “equal opportunity” damnation.
___ But it’s not so important to diagnose what category you fall under, as it is to make sure we are hearing from God. Many people have either condemned Song of Solomon as not truly canonical or else nothing but a porn novel, (because nothing is pure to them,) but in this book is hidden some of the most profound truths & prayer points & hidden desires a Christian can have towards Jesus. He is our husband, made so much better than the angels, who’s kisses alone can satisfy us. It begins with that most abrupt prayer for the most urgent need we can ever feel, & closes with the prayer we would be enabled to hear his voice & that he would give us a visitation as he did to JOHN ON PATMOS. Yet how many Christians are as Paul says “without natural affection” towards Jesus? John was considered the beloved disciple, & he is known for leaning on Jesus’s very chest, as a wife would do! He had his faults true, such as he admired the great whore after noticing she was drunken with the blood of the saints & martyrs of Jesus, & worshipped the angel twice with no repentance in sight at the close of the book. But when in chapter 5, he saw no man was able to open the 7 sealed book, or to look there on, he was very FAR from being hardened against it but he “wept much,” & the elder had to tell him to stop weeping. John had a real evangelical spirit, & so starts his book in most comprehensive way anyone could start a gospel, with the words “in the beginning,” as if it is an explanation of GENESIS 1:1! God the Father also calls himself “the beginning & ending,” & says the logos is really himself: GOD! The definition of ELOHIM according to STRONGS is:::
אֱלהִים élohiym el-o-heem'
plural of ; gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme God; occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates; and sometimes as a superlative:--angels, (excelling in strength,) judges, divine ones, gods, or special possessions of the (true) God. It would seem to suggest that while JEHOVAH ALONE IS THE CREATOR, he nevertheless created the other creators, & who were brought forth (EPH1:4) out of the womb of the morning, PSA110:3, which name “morning” is the name of Jesus the logos before he was made flesh in the time we call Christmas.
___ Jesus also said to anyone unto whom the word/logos of God comes is “a god.” Jesus said this to defend himself in JOHN 10:34, because the Jews knew that no man could call God “Father” unless he were the very son himself & therefore essentially God. But Jesus didn’t want people mixing himself up in one category with his Father, because this denies his humanity, & he cannot feel love from us or know us as his bride, if we find no distinction in him from the sovereign Jehovah who alone is the “living one,” without whom is only the second death. Satan will use that doctrine in the final days to make his mark into a sacrament (by God doing it as the greatest curse of the great tribulation) which no one can rightly receive in this sinful world:: because it with unworthily unites those who take it with the image of God who is the gospel of Christ: & then confusing it with the false image of God, who is the beast. This is just as how a Catholic takes the real body of Jesus, but then worships a false image of Jesus.
__ The body of Jesus is the highest sacramental image we can become members of before the marriage supper of the lamb: but the doctrine of Satan the great Pharisee makes Jesus into the most high himself. This is because Satan thought he was the son of God, I.e. “Caesar,” & so was enraged against Jesus for claiming to be greater. But with Jesus as blocking out the most high as the moon in an eclipse, Satan can have power he should not have! Satan is the lukewarm spirit that blurs our faith & makes everything without the tongues of fire: which SHOULD BE our zeal that consumes the old man.
__Paul says we are “adopted” sons of God the Father of Jesus, but Jesus is our immediate “everlasting Father,” whom we are not “adopted only,” but truly “born again” by the Pentecostal spirit of Jesus’s glorification. Our being born again is caused by his glorification, as John says that “the Holy Spirit was not given until Jesus was glorified.” His glorified body is called “like unto the son of man” because he is the flesh body of Jesus Christ who ascended into heaven. So to not be deeply concerned as a born again believer with his glorified self as described in Revelation, is a very terrible sign that one does not know Jesus & he doesn’t know that person, who’s “desire is not towards Jesus” — the husband of the church.
