Purpose of Life

 What is the purpose of life? How should we live out this life? What is sin? I want to focus on the questions because I believe the answers can help in every area of your life. Understanding your purpose and defining right and wrong are pivotal to a "successful" life. Also discussing success and what it really means to be successful.

  Our purpose is to be in the company of YHVH the creator, to bring Him companionship. It is for this that we was created, but God does not want slaves or forced companions. God wants you, under your own free will, to submit your life to Him. So then the purpose of this life is to grow and mature in mind, body and spirit. 

 To God there is no time, but life exist in time for without time every thing would happen at once. God has given us time to figure things out and decide on our own if we will submit our freewill to slavery for righteousness. Are we going to be self centered or are we going to put God first?

 So how do we live out a life for God? By following His instructions! This also ties into what is sin, and defining right from wrong. Doing what you know is wrong is sin, this is a form of rebellion. Any form of rebellion against Gods will is sin. You can't define a single action as sin because God looks at your heart and sees your motive. Your intent is what defines a sin, not your action. God is more focused on why you did what you did than He is about what you did. Is your heart truly intent on living out Gods will? Only the pure in heart shall enter in.

  Finally lets define success. Because success is the goal of every believer, but what does it mean to be successful? I can tell you that it is not material gain, for things of this world will burn away. I can tell you as well that it is not about power, because Gods will is that all are equal and justice prevails. The traditional ideals about success can not apply to a successful spiritual life then. Success must be tied to a life of Joy and Love, success comes from how you treat others not how others treat you. Success is God living through you. Life is a temporary realm of learning, of seed, time and harvest. Life is a gift from God and God wants you to honor Him with all He has given you.

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...
