My Current Concept of the Background and Mechanical Working of God's Salvific Work

Did Satan have authority over the Earth which he took from Adam when Adam obeyed him to sin?  If so, then it seems that  Satan give up that authority when he allowed the sinless man, Jesus, to die.  Dying only comes from sin, but Jesus did not sin, therefore, to murder him with the authority of the state reflects on the higher authority of the world-ruler.  Is this the reason that a perfect man dying was necessary for God's plan of redemption of the world from Satan's rule of sin?  No man was found among us, so God sent His only sired son to Earth in the human body to die for our sins.

Freedom is in Christ Jesus Our Master

Free will is not an internal state but an objective one.  If we feel trapped into an addiction, that does not mean we cannot stop - we can choose not to do it, even though that choice causes anguish and pain, so free will - which is soulish - is objective and not internal, like the subjective experience of happiness or the sensation of pain, which is physical and not soulish. Belief is spiritual, and it drives our soulish choices.  Our environment, past actions or other forms of causation do not drive our souls, but our beliefs directly drive our thoughts, emotions, willpower, non-twitch reactions - twitch reactions are physical in the present but a mix of soulish and physical when they are being trained - and our choices are also driven by our beliefs. Believing truth sets us free.  Master Jesus the Messiah is the Truth.

Jesus' Control Over Earth is Profound

Jesus controls the Earth.  He moves concentrations and thinner groups and individuals who can do this or that right where He wants us to be and around whom He wants us to be around to work together with our different skills, different levels of mixes of skills and of adoration of Himself and wisdom of spiritual maturities.  Master Jesus has that precision of control over the Earth that the Satanic rulers crave but cannot have no matter how they attempt control and mock and murder.  God rescues us and gives us life and purpose!  One day, Jesus will come here, destroy, rebuild and establish physical reign worldwide.  Then He will control even more directly and show us how putting the Earth under human authority can and should be done, and His own will be very happy, indeed!

Admonition to the Church to be Healed

Don't be weakened in love, dear Church, thinking that kindness to God's enemies actually outweighs truth concerning His great salvation!

Twisting and Adapting the Bible to Popular Mythic Games is Oddly Absent in AD 2021

Doesn't it seem odd that video games, popular fantasy and books about video games include concepts from every mythology, but these Worldling creators of such things don't include elements from the Bible?  It's as though they recognize the extreme separation between God's actual Word and artificial stories, even as they are fully willing to blaspheme God openly.  It's as though they're having fun with Greek or Hindu myths while purposely staying away from Hebrew history. I find it very odd that an RPG hasn't yet tried to twist and adapt the supernatural events of the Bible to their worlds, though I assume they will as the World becomes even more openly evil, as surely they wouldn't use God's Word or the events of Scripture in straight ways.  But why hasn't it happened yet, unless the World - even at this stage of open wickedness - intends to approach such a thing with delicacy.

Relief in Truth about Christ Jesus Our Master

I do love to tell the gospel.  It took me years to get over "repent and be baptized" and find "believe this" and "do that" "to be saved".  And, as a bonus for finding it, I see how to gain righteousness intermixed with but separate from how to be saved - to believe the Resurrection, and to live by the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus, Who raised Him up, gives us new life in Him and teaches our minds the mind of Christ as we move from faith to faith (or so I imagine threading God's Word together - I think I'm on the right track!).  Ahhh, the delight I carelessly indulge by knowledge that God is my Savior and not me, myself, even by "continuing" His work or some falsehood like that, which puts His work as a necessary beginning only.  And the irony that there IS a work (James was right) - if we DO believe, then we WILL call on the name of Master Jesus to be saved.  It all fits, and I don't have to twist my mind into th...

A Response about So-Called Slaveholder Religion

Why are churches so segregated?  Because black people LIKE their own culture and have the light-hearted joy in Christ to EXPRESS IT.  Stop trying to melt us together when we don't want to - we LOVE each other in the Church and have hardly stumbled on the great roadblock of SKIN COLOR (how childish!) that seems to hold up the World so much.  We don't care about your made up racism that tries to illogically group people for the purpose of "divide and conquer".  Families perpetuate both culture and the genes that strongly code for skin color - that's all, and there's nothing to be afraid of.  Let bluegrass be played by those who like bluegrass and Aretha be played over here, and microtonals be used over there, too, because they LIKE it.  That's all, you subverters of freedom!  Get away from there, and go find peace in Christ the same way we've ALL had to - by believing the tenets of salvation doctrine as per 1 Corinthians 15:3b-8 and by responding to that...

Christ Versus Pseudochrist - Which Congregation

We have little maturity in the Church, but we seem to have some.  Don't teach the World deeper things of Christ - but love them without their understanding, because Christ's love draws them to Him, if ever they will be saved.  Teaching the World deeper things in a bid to entice them to Christ, however, just hardens their hearts against future teachings that are in context of what they already have learned appropriately in stages.  Tell them first:         God sent His only sired Son to Earth in the human body to die for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, then He was buried, then God raised Him from the dead on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and then He was seen by Peter, the Disciples, over 500 brothers at once, most of whom were still alive at the time Paul wrote to the Corinthian congregation this formulation of the gospel that Paul learned, and then Jesus was seen by James, the Apostles and then by Paul.  Believi...

Similar Sounds for Opposite Outcomes - Do Not Forgive Unrighteously

Imagine a scenario where a person is attempting to say why they did something the other person in the context didn't like - at all!  But the second person interrupts as person number one is say, "I just...".  Now, consider apologies, how they describe a thought process that incorrectly led to the naughty decision, and how such an apology, an "I'm sorry", means that they do not intend to do it again - a situation that calls for forgiveness, like when a brother says, "I repent".  Now, back to our scenario.  Doesn't person two falsely forgive person one when he stops her from completing the justification, which is the opposite of saying, "I repent", because it means she is attempting to talk him into thinking the awful action is a right one?  Now consider that, on the surface, they sound almost the same - the intonation of anxiety in the explanation, but, without hearing the end of the matter, forgiveness is wickedly given to the unrepen...

Christian Work

If I suddenly seem grossly childish, be strong to suffer it.  Build up your ability in that way, dear Church, and be strong in our same Master and Savior Jesus Christ, even able to hear the next wisdom of His that comes from me after you see me suddenly seem grossly childish. And we will learn to speak together the wisdom of God, suffering together more confidently, needing to merely attempt trusting each other fewer times as we go on.

The State of Reality Concerning Truth-Pleas

What is the state of reality concerning truth-pleas?  Worldlings will never be talked into it, but the Called will hear the truth and smile.

Worldly Behavior Isn't Right - Christians Who Befriend Them Fail

Because Worldlings thrive on evil deep inside themselves, yet they take advantage of the softer atmosphere that the Church has built over the centuries and pretend to hold to it, they take advantage of lots of little situations where their outward behavior varies from their pretense for profit.  This causes the Church to rely on false claims of nobility and the attendant false assumptions that come from them.  Some Worldlings desire hurts where it doesn't make sense.  And it gets stranger once an evil is normalized in society, such that greed is not really the bottom line for companies all the time, but becomes a cover for even more wickedness! When the Christian tries to anticipate and appease his Worldly friend, the biblical mandate to not make friends of the World shows purpose as the Worldling takes advantage of that Christian's failure to know who his enemy is, because that Worldling acts as an enemy, even to his other Worldling friends - it's their way to hate each ...

Sin and Sanctification from the New Nature of Saved Ones

If you believe and confess and are saved in accordance with Scripture, then you will have a new nature, be glad of your salvation and of the domination God gives His own over our sins, and you will do right in accordance with your new nature, the guidance of the Holy Spirit of Life who raised Christ from the dead, and you will begin to imitate our Master Jesus the Christ.  Believing the Resurrection is not only a part of salvation but also of sanctification.  You gain righteousness by believing the Resurrection of the Christ (Romans 10:9b-10:10a).

EMail to Senators on Corruption

Do you feel pressured by leadership on votes, messaging and fundraising?  Stand up to bullies and stop conspiring with that leadership to subvert your constituents' trust in you!  Remember: lying for money - even for your tax-based paycheck - is fraud.  Do what you really think leads! This message brought to you by a servant of Master Jesus the Messiah, the Truth.

What is Humanism

Humanism is horrible, hideous and hurtful. It leads to the illicit use of willpower to control others, which ends in the bitterness of the soul scraped empty.

The Difference Between the Stoic, the Hedonist and the Christian

The stoic tries to control his corrupt surroundings in fear, the hedonist allows himself to be swallowed up by his corrupt surroundings in lust and the Christian allows God to keep him in his corrupt surroundings in trust.

Explanations of Police Treason with Illegal Pretense of Authority in Questioning

Doesn't police questioning, as it's usually done, misrepresent the law by false authority, since the law recognizes that the right to remain silent (or speak, with total freedom to speak and remain silent at will) comes from outside the law (as all rights do; privileges are from the law)?  The police officers and detectives cannot have authority from the law to compel speech.  Any law that attempts to give such authority immediately contends with that higher authority that gave the right, which fundamental law, so long as it has not been overturned according to the law, has admitted to and has bowed itself to.  Therefore, police questioning which pretends authority to question is illegal, and it commits the crime of treason, because it attempts, by the uniform, to undermine the law which bowed to the extra-legal authority that gave the right, and it is therefore a systemic damage and a betrayal of legal structure, itself.  A police officer who pretends to authority n...

Pleading with Those Who Believe Willful Sin Undoes or Rejects Christ's Salvation

1) The Bible openly talks about those who are saved sinning (1 John 1:8, Romans 7:14-25, Romans 10:9b, 10a, where Christians need to gain righteousness). 2) The Bible also says that God Who calls will powerfully cause the called ones to make it through to glorification (Romans 8:29-30; see verse 31). What more do you need but that, even if other passages (falsely) seem to scare us by teaching that a single sin means that we were never saved because those who know God do not sin (period)?  Or is that not your viewpoint in the first place? Biblical salvation doctrine is believing God's work to save us (the Father by planning it, Jesus by dying for our sins and the Holy Spirit by raising Him) and our verbal confession of Master Jesus which calls on His name for salvation is what saves us (see 1 Corinthians 15:1-3a, where Paul says that the following formulation is very definitely what we believe to be saved and Romans 10:9a, 10b, and 13, where he makes a definite and objective stateme...

It is a Trick of Satan's World to Think that Personal Feelings and Perceptions Define Reality

I've noticed a trend in LitRPG books that says that even though it's just code, since it feels so real, destroying an NPC is the same as murder or being rude to an NPC is rudeness or lying to an NPC is lying.  The lie is that if we feel immersed in something, then that something becomes real (for us).  This is the type of judgement based on the surface that Jesus warned against in John 7:24a.  Follow Jesus' command in John 7:24b by practicing righteous judgement instead of that, and don't believe that your feelings or perceptions dictate reality, because such a stand is not only outright false, but it also attempts to rob God of the reality He actually created. Even outside LitRPG, popular Western culture generally is taking on the concept.  Gender identification pronouns is another example of it.  Saying that it is a hate crime to repeat biblical instruction is another example.

Preaching to the Crowd

[Messages during a live Youtube video on channel called "Grace Wins".  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWn0LCX7R7U "GOD HAS YOUR BACK | Stop Worrying & Trust God | Give It To God - Christian Motivation & Inspiration"] Words are not weapons - God's Word is the weapon... accept this difference now (see - our words are mere persuasion to believe something; the power you're seeing from words is in the belief it causes) Believing truth is better than saying desire God never changes - He knows HOW to care for His own Perfect, complete love casts out all fear Psychological preparations often weaken us to assume fear.... Know the Bible - accept the Bible ..with thanksgiving.. And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he hears us, and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. ye have not, because ye ask not. You ask, and receive not, because ...

It's a Trick of Satan's World to Instantly Switch the Meaning for the Purpose of Blame

The World allows a thing until it is casually accepted and its first basis is largely forgotten, and then it demands a reevaluation of the cause of the thing and immediately excoriates everyone who casually took part in its remembrance as though they purposely executed that, often changed, basis of the thing.  For example, the celebration of Columbus Day by those who did not have any reason to imagine him as a wicked racist but who barely had ideas that they were generally celebrating the existence of America.  The Worldlings' bait and switch trickery on this point makes those celebrators vile, due to the appearance of a switched meaning, even though the celebrators weren't celebrating it for the purpose of that switched meaning.  It's an illusion on the surface made by changing the substance underneath and ascribing motives to people in the past using a false standard.  In these cases, remember that those who purposely make such a switch are, themselves, right now i...

Dear Church, Stop Trying to Save the World

Dear Church, stop trying to save the World.  We must tell the World Christ's gospel in order to find in it those other members of the Church that haven't yet been saved.  We must do good to our enemy as a witness against them of the superiority of God's goodness without becoming their friends.  We must live with Christ's Church and love the siblings in Christ. Consider Bob Saget, star of "Full House", a show that was billed as funny and wholesome on its surface, but which indulged in lots of sex humor.  Bob's career changed, and he became a filthy stand up comedian.  We could have guessed when "Full House" was first being aired, but the advertised overlay of a wholesome family program obfuscated the sex jokes we were seeing, and Bob's later career change just reveals who he was at that earlier time. Dear Church, don't be confused by the seeming goodness of the World - it absolutely, viciously hates your God and you.  It really is your ene...

God's Justice Works but Worldly Psychology is Failed Paganism

Paganism is at the core of psychological techniques that modify behavior by making the perpetrator experience what his victims do.  An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth sounds to the Pagan of today like it sounded to the Pagan of ages past like a valid and useful justice system, but Christ teaches to turn the other cheek to the cheek striker and to give more to the thief, because only God's love changes hearts.  Then, at the very end of things, He simply destroys the rest and does not practice any lie of trying to change them through psychological manipulation (which mere manipulation is more surface than affects on the spirit).

On Getting Along by Ourselves in Christ

Heeding God's Word in Galatians 6:1-5, especially verse 4, that we should have gladness in our own proven works instead of glorying in others is to heed a commandment against the perversion that comes from over-judgement of others' evil that makes us feel good about our own works by comparison and also of relying on another's praise of our works.  It is a practical psychological help to live in our own successes and not be over-burdened with the evil of another or with the praise from another. This is not to say that we should neglect our siblings in Christ.  The spiritual ones among us have the work of restoring the sinning sibling, but even that job is with a warning to watch that we are not overcome by the same sin when we do it.  Even though this work exists, we still should live in our own works and not those of others from either a positive or a negative point of view.

Descriptions of a Useful World-View - Lord Willing, We Will Thrive By True Perception and Righteous Action

Take the bottom-up view.  We have workers.  We have food production.  We have truckers and trucks.  And we have technology and the electricity to power it, for now.  Money is meta for work and trade - it's no end in itself.  So we shouldn't be ruled by money, especially if we start right now to rethink and to restructure our local and state-wide societies in America.  Half the country wants one thing and the other half another, and in Indiana, we want to survive.  We're fat - we could do it.  We're also keepers of some Christian reality, which much of the World is losing; we should be as independent from the federal government as we can be.  Maybe Ohio will trade with us.  Let's stretch out to call on the name of the Master Jesus first and foremost, and then we can ask for His blessing.  Then we'll try to restructure:  as long as workers can keep producing that food and those buildings, and as long as we leverage our techn...

Humility Does Not Require Invisibility - Right Work is Not Pride

Humility doesn't stop work, but it realizes that our greatest possible works are small compared with the works in God's kingdom. I was afraid of doing (which fear is a tip-off of its wrongness), because I falsely thought that humility required me not to show myself.  Perhaps my pride was so overweening and my need for validation so engrossed in the evil way of great pride that I, personally, needed to keep my head way down, but, generally speaking, humility does not require us to stay invisible.  Perspective is very useful in remembering our truly humble place in God's Universe.  Non-Christians are dead, Christians are Kings in training, angels do solid work, and our Master is King of Kings.  So, do right work usefully, giving God the credit for our ability to work, and be glad in our work, happy to be alive to do them.

The Creepiness of the Standards of Worldly Societies and the Healthful Infusion of Them Into Reality

Showing perfect joy on your face for the purpose of selling something is creepy as all get-out.  What our worldly societies have trained us to accept is more strange than it seems, even when we become partially aware of it from time to time.  Don't become afraid of where you find yourself, but try to express reality more and more - it's healthy, and it's very useful to do so!  For instance, take that picture perfect smile from your job and imagine the types of things that should elicit it.  Finding them should lead you to a better reason to smile.

Jesus is Better than John, and His Death for Our Sins is Better than John's Social Reformation

John the Baptizer the Hebrew Priest made the radical choice to live in the wild, live like he's wild and to take a stand in his dress and food.  He preached in the wilderness to those who could not enter the temple.  He socially split away from the traditions of his peers, who were part of the rulership, and he is the ideal of social reformation by Jesus that Walter Rauschenbusch and others taught to the rich.  But Jesus' purpose was to die for our sins, not social reformation.  John the Baptist was not part of the New Testament, but he was the greatest man born of women, below the lowest of those in the New Covenant, which God has set with in humanity whom He has called due to Jesus' death for our sins. John the Baptist was a radical social reformer. Jesus the Messiah, our Master, has died for our sins, which is infinitely better!

The World's Embarrassment by Their Sin is Evidence of Its Wrongness

Hearing the subtle intonation of many people who give themselves to sin, embarrassment is revealed.  The lustful, who thinks they should be, finds shame that they attempt to ignore.  This fact is evidence that sin in objectively wrong and stops freedom in those who submit to it.
