Love God

 The most important of these is to love YHVH with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.

 Christians rarely love YHVH at all. Most Christians love Christ because of what he did for them, but I don't believe that is love. John 15:13 explains true love, selfless love. Love is not earned, it is given freely, without expectations. True love is a choice, not a feeling. 

 We throw the word love around without truly understanding what it means to love. We say we love chocolate or we love a movie but in reality we only enjoy these things because of the way they make us feel. We apply that same principle to relationships. Divorce is now more commonplace than ever or marriage is simply forgone all together. Premarital sex is standard dating protocol in order to determine a partners ability to satisfy our "needs". 

 We are told by the church that if we are not happy and fulfilled to simply divorce or separate from the relationship because God wants us to be happy. I can tell you that this is a lie, a corruption of Gods Word. It is true that God wants you to be happy, but it is not up to you to create that happiness.  YHVH said to put Him first and He will do the rest. Christ said love YHVH with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. Are you thinking about God when your seeking your own pleasure? Are we not being like Christ when we suffer for another? Are you living for God when your being adulterous? Is your heart really beating every beat to Gods rhythm when the adrenaline rush from doing something you know your not supposed be doing hits? Are you really truly trying to be more like Christ? 

 To love something is to die for it even when it doesn't deserve it. Do you truly believe that YHVH is ok with your sin? Christ said believe in me, trust me, the only way in is to obey these words - Lay down your life. Take appon yourself the sufferings of others (pick up your cross) and follow me.

The second is like the first. Love thy neighbor as you love yourself.

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...
