The Double Minded Man

 I have come to the realization that there is a duality to all things. That there will always be pros and cons with every decision, and every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This understanding gives me hope, when I see things that are intended for my harm and I can't directly see how it will work out for my good.

 My faith is strengthened by this knowledge but even knowledge has a duality. It was knowledge of good and evil that drove man from the Garden of Eden but "My people die from a lack of knowledge". Man was tempted with knowledge from the serpent. Evidence of the first bite and its effects and affects on the human body can still be seen today. Eve was the first to receive the knowledge and then Adam. Is it not evident even now how young girls often potty train easier and young women often mature faster than young males? Not to excuse Adam for his choice, it was his to make. Only to highlight the truth in Gods Word. We sought after knowledge but found confusion. It was disobedience to Gods Word that led to this type of existence. It became who we are.

 What could be said then about the double minded man? Is it not our very nature to be double minded? First we need to consider that what's done is done. We can not change what Adam chose, we can only change what we choose. So then, second, we can say that we are not who we are supposed to be. We have fallen in our consciousness by over thinking everything. Grace has been present from the very beginning. Christ came to bring knowledge. Christ did not create grace, he demonstrated grace and taught the people forgiveness and love. 

 Christ gave his life for us! No greater love is this, to give your life for a mere friend. Christ gave his life for the worst of the worst. It was his obedience to God to the death that set him apart from us. We died because of one mans disobedience and given life because of another mans obedience. 

 We are one, a gathering of people in one mind was filled with one spirit and tongues of fire were apon each and every one of them. Together in marriage we are one. As a church we are one body. Our individualism is dueled with a need for companionship. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways, he doesn't know who he is and has no purpose. When we choose God and live for God and no longer for ourselves we have a purpose and we know who we are, servants of YHVH. When we come together as one we are one, just as YHVH, Yahshua, and the Holy Ghost are one. This knowledge was taught by Christ, when one hurts we all hurt. We were naked before God in the garden with no shame, until we revived knowledge. Now with the knowledge of Christ we stand naked before YHVH once again.

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. Definitions sighted from https://www.google.com/amp/s/greekcitytimes.com/2020/02/14/the-8-ancient-greek-words-for-love/ Eros (romantic, passionate love, lust) Philia (affectionate love, friendship) Agape (selfless, universal love) Storge (familiar love) Mania (obsessive love) Ludus (playful love) Pragma (enduring love) P...

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...
