Its not my life

  As a Christian we assume that other Christians understand some basic Christian principles, but I find that this is not true unfortunately. In fact most Christians have never even read the Bible. I attended a church for 10 years before I really started to read the Word of God, and when I did I started noticing massive grievances between the Word of God and what was being preached.

 Truth is that even then I had not read the whole scriptures, thankfully the concepts in the Bible are simple enough for a six year old to understand (and deep enough to debate for centuries). In the church I was being taught that God wanted me to be rich with money so that I could give more money to the church and have all the things that I wanted. In the Bible I learned that God may make me rich or keep me poor but in either case it's for His glory, that God wants me to submit my life and my desires to Him. This is completely opposite from the church teachings.

 In the church it's all about you, in the Word it's all about YHVH. The church teaches us to have our best lives now, the scriptures teach us to live for YHVH. Yeshua is the only Son of YHVH void of adoption, His only begotten. Yeshua is our King and as such we submit to Yeshua. Yeshua was very clear about how to become a disciplined learner of His.

Luk 14:33 NET In the same way therefore not one of you can be my disciple if he does not renounce all his own possessions.

This is very clear, we dont own anything as a follower of Yeshua. We submit everything to the Lord. This is not my life, it is His life! YHVH paid for our lives with the death of His only Son. It is not my will but His will, not my desires but His desires that I pursue. Christian 101 and the "church" has forsaken this very basic teaching. I have started to think of everything in a new light, the light of Christ. Everything on this earth is the Lords, not ours. We need to treat everything like its YHVHs and we are simply borrowing it.

It is not your cellphone, it is God's, so don't do anything with it that He would not do!

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...
