Don't trip your brother

Romans 14 

As usual I write these blogs and I don't know all the answers, but I know that Holy Spirit guides the ones who seek wisdom and understanding comes at a cost. I know that there is a right way and a wrong way, but I only know one way. Yahshua. Romans 14 tells us that all things are clean unless you believe it is unclean. That it is better to abstain from something even if we know its clean because to our brother it is unclean. Putting our brother before ourselves is holy, and anything that is not done in faith is sin. We are called to love the unlovely to our death, no matter who's right. We are free in Christ and in our faith we know that we can not separate ourselves from God. But what I see are people boasting in their freedom, when instead they should be boasting about the one who set them free. In our freedom if we cause a brother to stumble then we take on his sin. If everything in this world is a test and nothing in this world is unclean then what is the test? I believe YHVH wants to know if you are willing to live righteously even if you don't have to. Are we going to follow our flesh because there is no penalty or are we going to follow our spirit? Its not about making mistakes its about choosing to error, those who practice fleshly things will not inherite the kingdom. We are spirit and flesh until we leave this world. That's the test, pleasing flesh or pleasing spirit. God knows your heart, and He wants to know if you are only living for you or are you putting others first and living for Him.

The Spirit of Love

 My last post I revealed how emotions are spirits and how there are different types of spirits. There is a spirit of a man (i.e. his motives or his driving force), there is a spirit like a wind or a breathe (like an invisible force), and there is a spirit like an emotion (a feeling). My argument is that Love is a spirit but not an emotional spirit but rather a driving force. If the Holy Spirit of YHVH is Love then it would do us well to understand what Love is.  We always hear about the different types of love in the Greek. We will talk about these types of "love" but we will need to go beyond the Greek and into the Hebrew to see the Love that is YHVH.

Elohim

  Understanding Christ has been one of the greatest problems for my Christian life. How can you follow someone you dont know or understand. It is incredibly hard to reconcile Yeshua when the church world contradicts what the scriptures tell us. Yeshua is the Son of YHVH, and no matter what Bible scholars claim He is not God.  There are a few verses that teach us a theology of the God head, Father-Son-Spirit. Some want to believe that YHVH is all three at the same time while others believe that YHVH changes modes into each one when needed, but do these ideas actually hold water?    Heb 1:3-4 KJV 3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.  We will need to explore many verses ...

Eat, Drink, Be Merry

   Ecc 2:24 KJV There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.  Many Christians fall victim to a false teaching that claims YHVH's favor can be earned through good works. Counter to this point is the fact that our righteousness is offensive to YHVH, compared to menstrual rags even.   On the other side of this misguided spectrum we find Christians that believe that we are free from the burden of sin, meaning that we can sin with no consequences.   I believe that the reality falls somewhere in the middle of these two extremes.   Ecclesiastes is considered one of the wisdom books. A deep study of Ecclesiastes should be standard for anyone trying to understand how to live biblically. Solomon explains how all our pursuits either good or wicked are pointless.   Ecc 7:16 KJV Be not righteous over much; neither m...
