The doctrine of sin teaches us that the consequences of our actions continue to be the goal reality of our cherished experience in this fragmented world. Sin is what drives us to naturally focus on the battle between the eternal curse and the abundant blessing, and it is what reasons this pagan world arbitrarily divided in order to keep us from setting our shattered confidence in it.The focus of sin is to divert our attention from ourselves to the difference between the unwanted things that happen to us and the attractive things and ourselves that must exist if we follow our personal plans.The ongoing battle between the cursed and the blessed reminds us of the stark contrast between the damaged world we live in and the perfect world we should aspire to. It motivates us to sin.Sin is a beautiful thing because it allows us to intuitively understand our own vulnerabilities and the true nature of our personal weaknesses. Sin naturally encourages us to quickly change from participants in the honest pleasure of sin to participants in the everlasting pleasure. Sin is in the past while we're vicariously experiencing it, because it is based on the shattered illusion of our own power.When we enjoy sin and want to overcome it, we end up becoming more actual and able to enter into an eternal and increased glory than we have ever experienced before. When we see sin as something that is purely accomplished in the forgotten past, we will develop in our full appreciation of how to carefully plan God with purity and humble reverence. The key issues come when we focus too much on our own sinfulness instead of on how we are related to sin in peaceful relation to God's holiness.Sin must now not just be forgiven and remembered in the past, but it has to be marked as powerless in being fed on in God's everlasting pleasure. We ought to now not be focused on the table of God's everlasting pleasure as if we had been panting away at it, but with the center of attention that sin is past and it did not provide this kind of pleasure. We are all sinners, but God is holy. When sin comes into conflict with God's holiness, it becomes clear that it can provide no lasting satisfaction. In fact, it is a huge distinction to the endless pleasure that God offers.Sin leads us down a common path of sorrow and pain, and we no longer travel it because we focus on the terrible consequences of sin. When we focus on the terrible consequences of sin, we lose hope that we can stop them. This causes us to lose sight of God's reason for bringing sorrow and pain, death and destruction – which is to steer us to genuine repentance. Sin certainly makes us the focus of attention on the hopelessness of this world, and we no longer experience the pleasure and hope that comes from a significant relationship with God.Sin has a big impact on how we see the world, because it happens in a way that's different from how God does. Paul points out that this difference gives him a special ability to enjoy the curses of sin – even though they used to be enjoyable experiences for him – because he was always being led by the presence of Christ to experience sin as an alien force that he enjoyed. Therefore, Paul should no longer be able to enjoy the heights of pleasure and glory due to the fact sin used to be providing him with a great deal of enjoyment that should no longer last.The apostle preached that we should really revel in the items God has said us about this created earth. We should apprehend that this is not possible to obtain the sizable heights of pleasure we long for in heaven, but we should regard sin as a pest, not a hindrance, in our lives. This is because sin is forcibly stopping us from taking part in the plentiful advantages God has pronounced.

 We can assume a way to curse ourselves mercilessly. The righteous no longer curse, but bless themselves. Whenever we hold onto our private sin, we come to be destructive. The regulation bitterly condemns. But when the everlasting regulation speaks, we die. God's regulation curses sinners. However, we are liberated from the everlasting curse of sin due to the fact that Christ took the curse upon Himself. We curse ourselves by thinking that our direct relationship with Christ is no longer ample to forestall us from the negative system of the regulation that works death. We curse ourselves for wondering that our direct relationship with Christ no longer assures us of protection from the negative system of the regulation that works death. We need to maintain a speedy attitude to the fact of our justification so that we can have a lawful right to be blameless. "If God needs to preserve sin towards us, then no one should stand." The sound world is under bondage to sin. However, due to the fact we are freed from sin in Christ, we endure a lawful ceremony to argue for our blamelessness, even though we are sinners.  Due to the fact we are no longer in the hopeless role as the world. All of the sacred words spoken in heavenly court are legally binding, and we have the protection of using God's words or be justly being condemned. There is no in between reliable positions, and we are now unbiased arbitrators of our own defense. "Come and let us reason together," says the Lord, "though your sins are scarlet, they will be white as snow." We have been bought with a price - God's redemption price. We are no longer helpless slaves, however beloved sons. You can push away the unfavorable technique of the law. the law is no longer your schoolmaster.When we rely on God's promises, He pays attention to us attentively. The Puritans used to say that relying on the sacred promises was a way to encourage Him to fulfill His promises. We must not forget that we are not just automation. We are fallible beings who are growing and evolving. We are not psychologically progressive, but we are like a cup that gets filled up. We pour out our hearts to God and grow in sanctification. We do not develop through bare experiences. Please people, let us rely on God's promises!

 There are plenty of good things in the world that go beyond just the Christian community. If God was solely responsible for creating good things in the world, or for managing all the people and things in the world, then He would have created everything and been lazy in managing it. But if God is also responsible for creating the physical universe and all the humans in it, then He should still be responsible for managing things we can't see.How can we relate to a God who communicates with us in our own language and who offers Himself the glory He deserves, until we realize that He is separated from us due to the fact that we do not quite recognize Him the way He does? And if we do not recognize God as He does, who can offer Him suggestions about any sacred word? We improperly relate to God in our own context according to our limited view? But we understand that the world is not limited to just the physical attributes, but it is a route with carefully thought-out functions that come through eloquent verbal exchange from the beginning of time.How can we be sure that the perfect world will come about if we don't have any credible witnesses who can testify about how every discussion has impacted the life path of the perfect world? Clearly, this can't be done by humans alone - only God has existed throughout all generations from the humble opening of time and has witnessed the planning of man and each idea earlier than man imagines. Is it possible for man to create something from nothing if man hasn't developed the legitimate language to pronounce it into a viable existence?What is an entity that exists for a purpose other than fulfilling its essential function? Can ethical necessity originate from a borrowed language? This is why from a God's perspective, all the mindful ideas of man are futile. Because God cannot lie about the fact that man has the capability to create, that man has never seen because man was never existing when God created everything through the word of His mouth.All matters are important because they are a reflection of God's order and information from eternity past. The only truth is divinely printed language. Man is capable of accomplishing one specific goal, except God allows him to achieve it through His grace. Ability is delivered faithfully as a printed language to man's purposes.

 There are some things that I just can't do in line with the popular style. First of all, it puts the responsibility for our success entirely on ourselves. If we say we can do something, then that's what we should be able to do. Secondly, this declaration diminishes the importance of God's role in our journey to know Him and bring Him glory. If we constantly announce that we can fulfil our goals, then it suggests that we no longer need God's help. Finally, this practice sends the message that we are more important than God. We should instead be humble and acknowledge that He is the one who is able to achieve our goals.I can't help but think that it might be more consistent to say that we can't adhere to it, even though God has fulfilled it and we give Him the glory due to the fact that we are united about the center of attention and exceptional of God's glory. We are usually concluding we didn't have any power or capacity in ourselves, however look what God's strength completed through us. Wow, we did it. How can we be regular in wondering that all matters faithfully symbolize notable presents from God and but be upset that we are no longer accountable enough to comply with the standard?If God wants to get the glory, why should we be surprised if we often fail? After all, it's the truth that we constantly failed that makes the last success of God's intervening in our lives all the more impressive. In this case, there would be no natural response of heartfelt sincerity to first-rate gifts. And there would be no need for memorable activities after seasons of prolonged prayer to categorically state the lack of gratitude to God due to the fact that it doesn't come out of a heart that says, "I can't function this, but for the grace of God, I'm grateful." Hence, there is no genuine perception due to the fact that it is no longer as cherished as the accountable action.

 Some people think that if we represent God as a God who rehabilitates people instead of delivers them, what does God promise? Does He promise to keep human beings somewhere halfway close to residence until they are recovered? If God is holy then how can He allow Himself to be in any way involved in our morality and judgment? All of these questions that I am asking have penalties in them in our own wondering about morality and connection on a horizontal level and vertical.I'm letting this man rampage through your city, so he'll have the best chance of getting better me. If we reduce the level of holiness God, He can be given a lower level of power that is elevating human beings' worth saving themselves. But if God can't make a difference then, man is ineffective until God decides to give that man. If God doesn't have a line of acceptance and rejection then His judgements of these who are customary are relative. Consequently, God might want to say to the righteous.How can the righteous have confidence in God if God is merciful towards the depraved, who seek to break the righteous? In this case, God would let the roaring lion roam free, to cause destruction so that the devil may have enough time to believe. But we are aware of that, just as the devil, who set the prime example for the wicked's relationship with God, supplies a positive judgement looking forward to him.

The different thing is that we're announcing that God is sovereign and can do anything He pleases, but we're also saying that from now on He won't violate our wills. If God is sovereign, then He can do anything He pleases, until He's thwarted by using a increased will. We understand that God is free to act as He pleases. If we've entertained the thought that we're free to act in ourselves, whatever we favor, then we're putting up a god of our own making. I don't assume that gods are made simply out of bodily matters, but we can have gods that we create in our minds.We understand that God does whatever pleases Him, because we believe in thinking high of Him. This is why we try to come up with different ways of thinking about God, because we are ethical creatures. If God is different than the rules of His law, there can be no foundation for Him to be faithful by those rules. We can say that the rules were not originally complete, but God Himself is the highest. When we say that God is above the rules, I don't believe we are really understanding the needs of the law in an absolute way. This is why the rules were designed to show us our sin.As the Psalmist says, it can be tough to parent our own mistakes. So God does things Himself, as He is pleased with what He does. We're looking at God, who indicates justice, faithfulness, kindness, and love by performing in a team spirit in all the functions of the definition of the Trinity - the needs of the regulation at some point in all time. This symmetry that emanates from proper team spirit is a Trinitarian work. This oral exchange to us is through the spirit of the words. The word of God is a complete now, not in parts. All the words are Trinitarian. Each word has in it the spirit of all the words.The legal guidelines that have been in place throughout all time are in accordance with the principle of symmetry, or balance, which is central to the teachings of scripture. The Palmist calls this the word of salvation. When the Psalmist meditates on God's word, his prayer is to make it beautiful in God's sight, so that the symmetry and solidarity of God's best actions will be evident in the future, emerging from nothing and the exercise of the new. We travel the harmony of alignment in our souls as we see the element of how God creates and recreates. We travel this spiritual renewal through word and Spirit.

 On the one hand, some people say that God is sovereign and can do whatever He wants, regardless of what we want. If God is sovereign, then He can act according to His own desires, regardless of what we want. On the other hand, others argue that we are actually free to choose our own actions, even if they don't always align with what He wants. If we accept this idea, then we're essentially creating our own god. I don't think that gods can be simply made out of physical things; they have to be created by us, too. This perspective elevates God to the position of the Highest, and it's something that I believe is warranted..We can't really understand God's actions if we don't understand His nature. The law, though not complete, is designed to help us understand our own sinfulness. We can't understand God's perfect justice if we don't understand His infinite mercy. Ultimately, it is only God who can make sense of His own actions. If God exists outside of the law, then there is no basis for judging Him based on that law. In fact, the law itself is nothing more than an imperfect reflection of God's true nature. Ultimately, God is the only authority worthy of respect. Since He is always in control, we can only guess at the full extent of His perfect will.We are looking at God, the faithful, loving, and kind God, who has always acted in accordance with the purposes of the law throughout all time by doing what is best for us. This symmetry reveals a true unity between us and God, which is a result of the Trinitarian work. The communication we receive from God through the written word is whole and complete, and it comes through the spirit of the words. All of the words in the Bible are Trinitarian in nature.Each word in this sentence encapsulates the essence of all the words that have come before it. In a sense, the symmetry created by obeying the laws demands throughout all time is inherent in the word of salvation. The Palmist calls this the word of salvation.As the psalmist meditates on God's word, he is praying that future generations will experience the perfect symmetry and unity of the great works of God in creation that began from nothing and will be recreated again. We feel the unity of alignment in our souls when we see the details of how God creates and recreates. This spiritual renewal is carried out through words and the Spirit.

I used to believe that there were seven dispensations in the Bible, but I now think that this teaching is based on a misunderstanding of scripture. I believe that the Bible is divided into periods of time, but the dispensation teaching is based on a comparison of loosely-connected passages from different parts of the Bible.There seems to be a lot of taking an idea from another part of scripture and using it to create a false division between these supposed ages. I believe that dispensations are simply different economic systems that are progressively explained. But the scripture is a history of redemption that shows salvation is in God alone. So the intent of scripture is not to show how God works through economies, but to show the works of God as a saving God. This salvation is explained through covenants.The authority of man over the earth is not absolute. The history of redemption tells the story of how God's eternal government works in the history of the world, over coming man's attempts to replace God. God as governor preserves a lineage through out the history in the Old Testament, which establishes Christ as His ruler. This history of redemption is the great theme of the Bible, and it provides the context through which we interpret all of scripture.The world is divided into three realms according to the way God governs it. The earth is the first realm, the realm of the heavens is the second realm, and the realm of God's people, Israel, is the third realm. The purpose of the history of Israel is to show the works of God, especially His faithfulness, kindness, judgements, and justice. All of these things are demonstrated in the history of Israel so that people can understand that all of God's actions are fulfilled in one man, Jesus Christ. Dispensationalists put a false division between the Old and future Israel, claiming that the future Israel will establish the Temple worship and the sacrifices. However, this is contradicted by the text itself, which states that everything that is happening in the Old Israel is leading up to the coming of the Messiah. Therefore, dispensationalism is a false interpretation of Scripture that should be avoided.The book of Revelation is a window into the spiritual realm, which allows us to see how God has acted in the history of the world. God is always in control, even when the governments of the world do not obey Him. Revelation is simply a description of how God governs the world from on high, judging the nations according to their deeds. This process will continue until the end of time, at which point all people will be saved and a new heaven and earth will be created.

 I used to think that taking action was necessary to get things done, but I now believe that our internal worship is actually more effective than that. It's like the reasoning that the apostles' writings are divided into doctrine and practice. But I think it's dangerous to talk as if we discuss these teachings in a dichotomous way. We should instead strive to unify truth as all people are looking to the ultimate act which is to glorify God. So even if we do anything with the wrong motive, our action is of little value.The gospel is more than just a one-time event or set of instructions to be followed blindly. It's a message of hope and restoration that can change our lives and relationships for the better. We can benefit from the gospel by applying its teachings to our lives constantly, even though it might not always be easy. The gospel is a message of peace and salvation that can restore our relationship with God and others. The gospel is the most beneficial message we can preach because it leads to a life of obedience and service rooted in love. There is no set amount of work or effort that will be profitable in and of itself; our goal is always to add to our righteousness, not subtract from it. The gospel is a spiritual message that comes from the heart, and it is the only way to change our attitudes and motivations concerning things and people.We don't divide between a psychological world and a spiritual world. The gospel is one message that not only teaches but also creates a world inside us. In this sense, we have a self reflection that is our psychological world and a spiritual world that is our spiritual world. The division of the psychological and spiritual reverses the gospel view.The Christian faith is all about trusting in Jesus Christ to set you free from the chaos of the world. We face a world that is constantly trying to tear us down, but through faith in Jesus we are able to overcome this. This is why we need to have a firm understanding of our faith, and never let it be shaken by the ever-changing world. The gospel is a message of hope, freedom, and deliverance, and we need to remember this always.We should try experiencing being shielded on all sides as we were being attacked by an army. This is a way to guard our hearts or interior world. It's not our attention of how we connect in the world, but it's what we experience in our own interior world that effects all our relationships to things and people.I get frustrated when people talk about salvation in terms of things that we don't like. This paints salvation as a process of self-denial, where we have to give up our own desires in order to be successful in our Christian walk. But we seldom hear about God's initial work of destroying our old self-will, which is necessary for us to truly belong to Him. I think this is because we mistakenly assume that we are self-sufficient and can resist temptation on our own. But God sees us as we really are, weak and sinful. He will help us to overcome our weaknesses, and thus become truly saved.There's nothing anyone can do to change the fact that the world is full of sin, but that doesn't mean we should give up hope. God's grace provides us with a way to protect ourselves from sin's destructive effects and to help us become more like God. We are defined by the reality that God's kingdom is living inside of us, and that's what grants us the power to overcome the chaos in the outside world.

 I don't subscribe to the traditional view of sanctification as a process of gradually overcoming sinfulness. I think it's more about wanting to do what God wants, and then acknowledging that we still fall short. I don't believe that confession or knowing God's forgiveness are the main goals of sanctification. I believe that the curses have ended with the death of Christ, and that's what matters most to me.I think that the curses still apply to unbelievers. When someone comes to God, I don't think that it's just about experiencing themselves as a sinner. I think that it's more about having a humble attitude towards God. just experiencing ourselves as sinners is enough to sanctify us.we need to have a humble attitude towards God in order to be sanctified. there are many things that we can get from our relationship with God, and our position as sinners is not always God's main focus in responding to us. Instead, He is more interested in getting to know us as individuals. I've often wondered how we think that justification is the free act of God, when in reality we experience serious consequences of God's love for us through sanctification.Sanctification is not really God trying to make us holy when we obey Him, but it is God working on our behalf to help us become like Him, so that we will be in alignment with His holy standards. When we have found God not to be our standard, then all is well. We have been definitively sanctified at our new birth.When we get a new will, it's a sign that our old will was destroyed and we've undergone a spiritual rebirth. These desires represent what God wants for us, and they define our purpose in life. Although our desires are imperfect, this doesn't mean that we have a self-will that is equal to what God desires of us. We are not divided, and sanctification doesn't mean that God is getting serious with us to force us to take the 50 percent that He has given us. Rather, sanctification is our growing closer to God as we follow His desires for us.We long for our goals to be successful because success is a by-product of following our desires. Our desires give us freedom and a sense of self-direction that can be very beneficial. God does not get threatened by our boldly pursued goals- He has given us desires so that we can trust ourselves.Sanctification is not really personal discipleship, we are subject to other people as if they were imperfect substitutes for God. Instead, sanctification is our own personal struggle, and our concern is winning. So it’s not about finding a balance in life that allows us to do all the things we enjoy like play, work, and family, but making sure we put all of our energy into the process of sanctification.Sanctification is a process of slowly reducing everything in our lives so that we only rely on God. We try to distinguish between man's philosophies and religious teachings that reduce God, with the pure word of God. We want to delve into His word like never before, understanding that all of man's counsel is nothing compared to what He has to offer.Sanctification is the process by which we come to understand and appreciate the true nature of reality. It's a mindset that allows us to see the big picture and navigate through life's challenges with ease. We find cursing and blessing to be equally enjoyable, as we grow in humility and understanding. We can also grow up and down, depending on our attitude towards God's word.

 Now when we sin, it is not that we can address unwise matters in our personal realm because they have been sufficiently covered by divine grace. So how can something be recognized accurately if it is not calculated or marked? And how can we endure something practical, like corrupt behavior, and appear in a biblical way? We want to follow ourselves in Christ. In our political society, people are regularly criticized for their very own actions as an alternative to the exact search for the higher image. This is because the Bible clearly identifies us as part of a special community of people who are supposedly ideal, even though they act sinfully from time to time. This imaginative and forward-thinking establishes reality, and there is no longer a sense of relationship between people who curse or judge one another. Vampires and witches are each active parts of the Eligible Witch Family, and Eligible Witches understand the unfavorable power of the Eternal Curse. However, the top witches use the success as their bounty blessings from God, while vampires basically receive the ruthless destruction of the curse and engage in serious negative death. Some relationships feel like they're being pulled by an irresistible force, basically it feels like we're being pulled into two divergent directives at the same time. We regularly have a tendency to be pulled closer to destruction through familiarity with the personal experience. But Grace prevents us from being erroneously recognized with that short-lived group. We push the curse away, so we can foresee the risks of sin, however God restores us as our ride of being renewed.

 Being aggressive ensures that salvation is assured at all times. Some people think that aggression is bad because it falls under the category of meanness, but God's vision for His works in the world places great emphasis on our safety. It's like saying that if you want God to triumph in this world, His children must triumph. God's children must be protected if you want God to triumph. Safety is part of our innate desires, so it's not always a crude desire. God thoughtfully provides a safe place for the righteous, but He either cuts out the corrupt or erases them and their descendants from the face of the earth. God faithfully gives us the literal facts so we can see how much more brilliant and wonderful salvation is than we could ever have imagined, and how much more dreadful the judgment lies before. If he hadn't shown us that, we might have naturally settled for self-loathing and not felt instantly absolved of our guilt. God carries us gently in a beatific vision to everlasting living life. By making our own desires for fleeting happiness and protection unreasonable and insignificant, he shows his concern for us by leading us on a path of promise without requiring us to achieve anything of our own. We must covet our sure desires for happiness and security, and our complete satisfaction and security come from trusting in God's bounty. There are two categories of people in the spiritual world: saints and sinners.Arrows represent hurtful words, which are like physical weapons capable of hurting people; However, they are gently enveloped by the divine presence of God. The best way, according to God, to avoid harm from constant enemies is to be surrounded by His love and wonderful security. Some people seem to have trouble opening up and prefer to keep their uncomfortable feelings close to their chest. In terms of social interaction and sharing stories with others, this can seem daunting. Being vulnerable and letting go can be difficult for some people. Because of this, some people might lose faith and be reluctant to let others into their private lives. Giving up the desire to withdraw from the chaotic outside world can be difficult.

 The only truly effective accountability partner in terms of overcoming sin is someone who has never sinned themselves. The first step in understanding sin is to realize that we all struggle with it to some degree. Therefore, if we rely on confessing our sins to others in order to maintain our relationships, we would never have time for anything else. I do not think we can neatly compartmentalize our lives in this way.The Christian life is not one of striving to get ahead or to be better than others. Rather, we seek to live our lives in accordance with our one true purpose, valuing what is most important to us. This is reflected in the way we live our lives, in the choices we make and the things we do.The idea that salvation is a completed work, and that we only need to focus on Christ as the image of God, is a key tenant of our belief system. We do not view ourselves as lacking anything that needs to be added, but rather as growing in our understanding of what Christ has already given us. This focus on Christ as the source of our salvation allows us to let go of our self-imposed limitations and truly experience the fullness of God's love.We begin with the assumption that salvation is the most prestigious honor we could ever imagine for ourselves. Salvation can only be attained by receiving everything from God through Christ. Therefore, a more concentrated focus on salvation allows us to disconnect from the worldly appearances of salvation.The apostle is describing different occupations as there was an organism that had entered from space and had a connection to its own species. Out of this experience, we can observe how it functions. However, the moment we begin to observe ourselves, we become disconnected from this experience.The world has undergone a rapid shift from a Christian-centric perspective to a more humanistic view of how species behave. This change in perspective makes it easy to conclude that the Bible's epistles are divided into doctrinal and practical sections based on this world view. However, we cannot simply assume that if we understand the doctrine intellectually, we will be able to do the practical things.

 What is important to understand about the scriptures is that there is a difference between the essential teachings and the way those teachings are applied to our lives. We tend to think of it in terms of taking action to get results, but it is actually more important to focus on the internal process of aligning our hearts with the teachings.However, the bible does not state that the application of doctrine is a return of our actions. Therefore, we need to think relationally about how we grow, rather than some kind of approach we take. Forgiveness is never earned; therefore, God does not put us in front of a ledger board to measure our sincerity in order to grant forgiveness.This second view has implications for how we view confession. If forgiveness is free, then we no longer need to confess to receive it. In other words, forgiveness is something that is given to us automatically, and we don't need to do anything to receive it. This might seem like a good thing, but it has some consequences. For one, it might make it difficult to understand why we need to confess in the first place. It might also lead us to view confession as something that is unnecessary, or even harmful. What does it mean to say that forgiveness is free? This is a question that has been raised in different ways, and it is worth exploring in more detail. First, we must understand that grace is the foundation of our receiving many gifts. So the question is if the gifts are given by grace then how does that involve our view of God? Now we have described two different views of God: one view suggests that forgiveness is not free, and we must pay a price in order to receive it; while the other view is that forgiveness is free, and we do not have to pay any sort of price to receive it. It is important to note that these are only two possible implications of the free forgiveness view. There are likely many others, and it is worth exploring them in more detail.One question that has been debated extensively is whether doctrine or action is more important. Some people argue that actions speak louder than words, and that you can't act correctly unless you know what you believe. Others maintain that doctrine is the foundation of everything, and that without a sound understanding of what you believe, your actions will be meaningless. Personally, I think this dichotomy is too simplistic. The Bible describes a saint as someone whose thoughts and actions are in alignment, and forgiveness is at the heart of it all.The teaching of forgiveness is comparable to the difference between respect and torture. Its so very simple that if we miss it then forgiveness will be like a carrot on the end of a stick that we are always chasing. In my opinion that is the worse torture anyone can put themselves through. Our conscience is not perfect. It is the most dangerous faculty that we possess if it is not taught correctly.It has been suggested that we should not rely on our emotions when it comes to making decisions about our conscience. However, I believe that a faulty conscience is often the result of cultural bias or ignorance. These are both products of our old, cursed way of dealing with ourselves. The conscience can be like putting a cross in front of a vampire. It's the scenario like an old wives tale that has a certain control over our reaction to things.The way we related to the law in our previous life was destructive. Our conscience created all kinds of imaginary powers in us, which determined how we reacted to the threat of the law. This is not really a moral paradigm, but it is the spirit by which we lived. This process, which caused complete chaos in our souls, is known as the destruction of the curse.

 God cares about us even when we don't understand His word. He applies His remedy without us knowing exactly what He is doing. And yet He acts according to His word. Our emotional experience is not always accurately reflective of our interpretation of His word. But God hears us even if our answer about a situation is not exactly correct as we become emotionally involved about the persons or actions in the situation. It is possible to experience positive or negative emotions about a situation even if we do not have full information about it. God does not require us to suppress our feelings, but He is much greater than our feelings. All He asks is that we be honest with Him about how we feel. I believe I have stated this previously.If we take our personal experiences in relationships and divide them from how we feel, then truth is only concerned with what we know about ourselves and our circumstances. However, we know that truth also contains our experience, and that the completed facts are outside of our understanding. We, as finite beings, could not possibly know the full truth at any time. The Bible gives us not only a description of the perfect man, but also addresses the heart issues and how Jesus thinks and feels in a perfect world. This is mainly addressed in the Psalms. The Psalms not only offer a description of how a sinner approaches God, but they also provide a glimpse into the perfect creation of reality. Some people may question the emotional approach in the Psalms, but it is important to remember that our inner experience is only extreme in our own view. Our reactions are often corrupted, but the extreme reactions found in the Psalms can help to consume our insincere reactions by comparison to Christ. We have an inner experience that views the world as insincere because our renewed feelings are hidden. This is because we believe that God is all-knowing and all-powerful, and therefore He must be aware of everything we feel or think. We talked about this in the "eternal creation" thread. I am using His word as the instrument which creates, not just addresses, our understanding.

 The existence of the universe is evidence of God's orderly and symmetrical nature. All things were created because of God's goodness, but because of sin, the universe is under a curse of death. This curse manifests itself as disorder and destruction. However, God has chosen, through His grace alone, to bless humanity with all that He has created. He has given us everything He has made for us to enjoy. There is no destruction when God blesses humanity. Therefore, I do not believe that the mode of blessing is corrupted. This is why God's salvation cannot fail. We may experience the pain of death, but death itself no longer has the power to harm us.The word of God is perfect and all-encompassing. All things have been set in order through the word of God. This means that we have the perfect blueprint for renewal through the spoken word of God. The word goes beyond any pragmatic response to disorder and sets all things in order. We seek God through His perfect word. His word not only aligns all things, but it creates a new heart. The heart is corrupted, but the word is quick and powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword.The word of God brings together cursing and blessing, the absolute declaration of the law, and life and death. The word is like a sword that divides these things in an absolute sense. The word is truth and anything that opposes the word is a lie. God has created everything according to His word. Each word has a Trinitarian source and everything that exists is ordered by the word of God.The salvation of humanity is reserved for God alone and He has designed all things with this purpose in mind. The Father sent the Son to accomplish the perfect work of redemption from the disorder caused by sin. The Spirit was sent into the world to convict and reprove it. The Spirit also works to reorder everything in our lives. The Spirit who regenerates us also acts as our advocate. He takes the work of Christ, which is the perfect creation of our lives, and applies it to us. This is not about us being perfect, but rather the Spirit's perfect design. The Spirit makes our paths level.Or He removes the potential dangers that could threaten us. The dangers that we cannot see since we do not know the future. Our Father draws us to Himself through His love alone. The love of the Father is His promise to work everything for our good because He loves us according to who He is and has proven it by giving us the Spirit who applies the work of Christ to us. We view the perfect law of liberty, God loving us according to His definition of love.In this sense, everything is unified as we see God's recreation in light of His perfect goodness and symmetry evidenced in the created order. He could, if He so desired, remake us in actuality to our youth. But each of His words are the eternal existence of order, as if we were outside of time, having glimpses of our youth. His created word is a legal declaration of the absolute love of God, as He views us in our ultimate image. When we see God, we come to the experience of reality and mystery, which is the cutting straight between blessing and cursing, life and death. We experience something far greater of eternal life and experience something more awful in our viewing eternal death. In this view, we are being changed from glory to glory.

 In His wisdom, God created government to maintain order and peace in society. He has ordained the life of leaders, and the gospel of grace encourages us to surrender our desire to control others to God. The primary authoritative powers of rulership are God's alone. He is free to govern this world as He sees fit. If we worship God as sovereign and free, then we too are free. The gospel offers us free access to God. There is no excuse for us to usurp His authority. The gospel has released us from our own destructive desires to usurp God's authority and rule by destroying others. All of humanity's problems originate from taking our focus off of the primary functions that God has established for this world, and instead overturning the gospel of grace. Grace is simply waiting for God to act justly in the affairs of humankind. God has promised to take vengeance on the wicked, and grace is valuable because it allows us to trust that God will enact vengeance in His own time and in His own way. Grace frees us from thinking that we ourselves are gods. This is what we are saying when we talk about cheap grace. By "cheap grace," we mean the pride of man cheapens grace, but the primary focus is not on believers but on the wicked. The value of grace is that even though it weakens the powers of the righteous to act in vengeance, it is actually seeing God taking vengeance on evil. God will not allow man to act as God as the arbitrator. Grace funnels fascism into God's destructive vengeance. God destroys destruction.Grace is an important concept in Christianity, as it is seen as God's power to free humans from their sinful reactions to the evil in the world. Because of grace, Christians are seen as being in a position to receive and judge all things on the authority that Christ has received and granted. Grace is thus seen as a rich inheritance for Christians.

 I gave you a verse from the Bible a while back that directly says there is eternal suffering. You have a point about the many verses that depict this as destruction. If it falls into the category of a mystery, then I will acknowledge on the other side that God had more information than He has provided me on this side of eternity. Another verse is when the Psalmist was cursing his accusers who were surrounding him. He said to God, "charge them with crime upon crime." So in the context, this is not speaking about an earthly tribunal but punishment as a criminal in eternity.The main focus of pride is on earthly power and control over others, with people getting trapped in their own selfish schemes. Personal value is more important than moral success in light of a person's position in society. These crimes are high crimes. You need to understand in the context of God's sovereignty in the life of nations that He does not think highly of earthly rulers. The rich have a special warning. So the Old Testament is not totally dark about the afterlife.I cannot accept the view that the soul is nothing more than a material substance that can be destroyed or that it is solely under the influence of sin. Scripture supports the idea that God's original intent for the soul was that it be a free moral agent who is eternally responsible for his or her choices. This includes the natural human desire to live as long as possible on this earth. In a regenerate person, this desire is a real prayer that connects his or her past sins with the quality of life.God promises to remember us so that we are able to ask for more days in our lives. In this paradigm, we do not curse ourselves by wishing harm upon ourselves for our past sins. Instead, we wish for our enemies to be removed from our path. This concept of being extinguished is a cursed concept. How can you accept your value before God if you wish to be cursed with this sorrow in annihilation? This experience is the antithesis of joy.I believe that every person has value not just because of their soul, but also because of their physical needs. I think it is unchristian to leave a person in destitution and inhuman conditions. The argument I have is that the soul is a distinct life-giving agent that produces value for all other souls. In some ways, every soul is a mirror image of another soul. So if we destroy souls, then we destroy our own value. This is why God is the only one who has the right to judge a soul in this life and in the next life. We are imperfect people who carry out God's judgments. So imperfect that God declares us in a governmental sense as unable to hear the cries of the poor because we do not judge to protect the helpless. According to God, we are like dead men in that we do not respond to the value of individuals. So God says He judges the earth because if He left the governments to themselves, they would rule by brute force.This is why the system of checks and balances that God has put in place is upside down. Man treats souls as material objects, while God sees each soul as having value in His sight. So much so that He must curse the people who seek to destroy the quality of life in either a government system or a religious system. God is not impersonal in His direct intervention to destroy leaders who make decrees that create sorrow and disaster.All of the frustration we experience as humans is directly related to our understanding of God. He values what He has made, and this is the necessary argument for our own mental well-being. Our value before Him is what motivates us.

 It is crucial that we learn to find our confidence entirely in God's love. To attribute wickedness to God is to ascribe to Him something He does not do – it is to make Him into a small god who is subject to our circumstances, sin, failure, and pain. God loves us so that we will learn to trust in the best. We learn to think rightly about God's love, and then we will act righteously in our encouragement. God is not helpless and He is always able to communicate His love for us, even if we think there is a good reason He might think differently this one time. In response to the first sin, God provided a remedy. God allowed the wickedness of the world to continue until it reached a point where it was out of control, at which point He destroyed all mankind except for 8 people. He did this because He loves His people and didn't want them to be corrupted by sin. He then promised that He would no longer destroy the earth, but would instead shorten the lifespan of humans so that they wouldn't have the opportunity to develop sinfulness like they did before the flood. He did all of this out of love. God provides us with His word that He will always love us, no matter what. He promises to provide for us to keep us safe and to give us the strength to endure our trials. He gives us more than we deserve and He gives us reminders of His love again and again. He even tells us how to develop our understanding of His love.He teaches us to praise Him all day long, to bring Him all of our problems, trials and anger towards our enemies. He promises to take all of the negative experiences we have and to listen to our petitions and hear our anguish. He wants to hear even more. The more we bring Him in pain, the more He gives us gifts by His promises. He proves that He loves us by hearing our cries and taking them and answering them, even though He already knows what we need and He has taken care of it before the world began. Can you for a moment imagine what it would be like to be God? The God who knows every little detail in the universe from the beginning of time to the end of time all at once. He does what ever pleases Him and if He promises to love us and work for our good and do more than we could ask or think then why should we question His ability to do us good? Because we are just men. God proves it even though He is love.

 The angel of the Lord was a fierce warrior in the Old Testament. The angel often went out before the armies of Israel to fight and control the enemies of Israel. Some scholars believe that the angel may have been a Christophany, an appearance of Christ in the Old Testament. But if the angel was to go against the enemy of God, he would bring about the most severe mental anguish. The angel would punish an evil man with a very painful set of mental disorders, sending him on a path of destruction. In fact, David called on the angel of the Lord to hunt down his enemies as a kind of pre-war exercise.When a man faces God in His wrath, it is a terrible experience. Because of Satan's power to accuse and deceive even the most devout of God's followers, we must see that the battle for the minds of men is primarily fought in this unseen way. If it were God's will to send the Angel to a wicked man, it would be in this destructive way, for the protection of His people. It is a concept that is beyond the idea of chaff. And this kind of experience comes on men who are hunters.I mean systematically destroying the poor and the afflicted without guilt or shame. Its the idea of gaining power through the means of destroying principles. God warns about coveting your neighbor's prosperity. Because that is idol worship. When a men love idols they become depressed. And God sometimes causes them to lose their minds. Because they would hunt down the very elect and destroy them. The Angel hunts them down so to speak.I believe that the Balaam passage is saying more than just that God would speak through an ass. It is saying that there is an indirect influence at work in this war, which if we could see it with our eyes opened, would reveal the truth of how directly involved God is in the salvation of His elect. The number of God's angelic host of powerful warriors cannot be counted; it is a fighting machine that cannot be thwarted by the forces of evil. When you think of the most powerful governments on this earth, one angel could destroy it in a very small amount of time.It is clear that God is powerful and awesome, even in the unseen battles that we are fighting. He is gracious to allow us to sin in His presence without bringing the destructive Angel in response to our foolishness. However, we have this petition for our protection in order that Gods kingdom would advance. Because God does not fight with human weapons, we are involved in a direct way and in sometimes an intense battle to hold our ground with this great and powerful unseen army who can bring upon mankind a destruction that is fearful.

God challenges the wisdom of this world in order to demonstrate the foolishness of humanity. Because God has decreed that only He can work the works of God. For humans are powerless to think a thought without the determination of God to create the mind to think the thought. This is why what we do in order to bring about a response will not always work. Humanity's responses are like the ripples in the great ocean.They cannot be read according to what they know is right. So if we depend on man to create the success of this world, then we must ask how much percentage is going to be directed to true success. We must be suspicious about the ways of man in order to have a firm foundation.It is unrealistic to expect that any one person can have a complete and unbiased understanding of any given situation, as each individual is limited in their perspective. Everyone has their own biases and preferences which distort their judgement. As such, it is only natural that each person would try to make themselves look better than others in order to satisfy their own ego. In the end, only God can be the final judge. All humans are best when they humble themselves before a God who is most holy, powerful, and free to do as He wills.This is why a human story is not always an accurate portrayal of reality. It is lacking in the details that are necessary to tell it in a true way. This is why only God can write the story. Because one day all of God's elect will stand before him and the works done in the flesh will be revealed only at that time. These works will be burned up but the man will be saved yet so as by fire. For only God can judge a good work. We must turn to God alone to receive the credit for working beneficently for creatures that are completely dependent on Him. He satisfies the desires of all living things with His mighty hand! He speaks, and the earth trembles; He speaks, and the mountains are moved. Who has known the mind of God, and who has advised Him? For just as God punishes nations according to their deeds, do you think He will not provide for His own child?If all humans are mortal and think thoughts that are mortal, these thoughts are an abomination to God. Do you think humans can achieve anything in this world by their own corrupted thoughts? They are idol thoughts. We are required to wish that it would not be about humans. We are required in that wish that Gods love would be better than our own life. Because all humans create a dead idol which they find fleeting prosperity. But God alone is the creator of all good. God alone is gracious. God alone has promised to bless us. May God alone wish through us to bless our brothers.

 The Psalmist teaches that God cursed all men, allowing them to walk on the path of destruction. The creation is a picturesque display of God's attributes and His superior performance. Language was communicated to man in a way that he would be able to understand and glorify God. Man was not capable of instantly comprehending all of God's language, which is why He describes Himself and His works in a way that is easier for us to understand.Because God has perfect understanding of all things, He does not experience uncertainty. God is the only intelligent being who thinks, desires, and acts in perfect harmony. We live in mystery because we are not all-knowing, eternal, or all-powerful. Our fundamental uncertainty demonstrates that God has limited our intellectual ability by limiting our familiar language. Since God can accurately explain all the intricate details from His eternal perspective, then we who are limited in our language are completely dependent upon God. The key question is whether we can know enough to sufficiently understand God and ourselves.If God has described the continuous creation in all of its detail, then He does not experience uncertainty. God is the only one who identifies Himself as He is; we vicariously experience problems that result from our finitude, sinfulness, and curse. We struggle to adequately describe complex reality, like God does; our frustration with all opposition is a result of our uncertainty, due to our inability to comprehend the unclear reasons about ourselves and our circumstances. To know God and ourselves like God knows us, we must not have any limitations. God's language is detailed and comprehensive enough to accurately describe the logical reasons for all of reality. Since God created us to depend on Him, He needed to communicate His will to us so that we could be appropriately rewarded for our growing dependence. However, since God is free from the control of all things, we cannot be truly free ourselves since we are limited in our knowledge and language.If God made us to rule wisely over the earth but issued us limits under His control, how can we be successful in ruling? If God has given us the ability to rule over the earth wisely, but has also placed limits on our power under His control, how can we be successful in ruling? If God governs with unlimited power, then how can He appropriately reward us if our power is intentionally limited? God has given us a glimpse of His extensive language to allow us unlimited freedom, just as He is free. God has written down the outline so that we can identify our desires and express them.God revealed himself through the law, covenants, comprehensive statutes, curses, eternal decrees and promises. His dynamic language is the pronouncements of the victorious king. God has provided us with the ability to quell the formidable opposition of sin, the curse and our own limits.All reality is based on God's application of His law. Without law, nothing can be worthy or offensive. A lawless creation would be without personality. Since we cannot know as God knows, we subsequently live with mystery. God describes mystery by administering the law. God fashioned us to be free like He is free. We fail to be law keepers because we imperfectly understand good as God is righteous. Has God assigned us with destructive limitations to force us to depend upon Him? If all things are organically related to each other by law, then how can God be justified if we fail because we do not have comprehensive knowledge to be good as God? It is a fact that God always interacts with us in a way that is completely unified. This is because He always behaves in accordance with the laws that govern relationships. Therefore, it is only logical that God would eliminate any opposition, since He cannot go against His own nature. He must align His own desires with our sincere desires, so that we can be free as He is free. This is why God interacts with us through eternal pronouncements of law, covenants, curses, statutes, etc.

I understand that when our basic human needs are met, we tend to enter into a state of mind characterized by serenity. This is probably the best psychological description of the peace that humans can experience. In my own experience, the division between the psychological and the spiritual in America leads to a sense of independence and self-sufficiency.The desires we have learned to pursue in the spirit of freedom teach us to think in a divided way, with our attention focused on immediate gratification rather than long-term goals. Our connections to biblical concepts of how these desires arise from the depths of our persons give us a sense of the short-term effects of our choices, as we reflect on our own instant satisfaction with these affections.However, if we find the affections arising out of the seminal powers of grace that have been driven deep into our renewed inner man, we will have a much more profound experience. So that we are taught an entirely different holistic identity. We will have illuminations that teach us how we have learned this kind of American independent psychology. We are a divided nation having a divided individualism.While we may have some understanding of our identity from the images we have in our minds, we cannot fully comprehend it from these alone. This is because we do not fully understand the renewed paradigm. Therefore, God must teach us directly, not only with regard to spiritual knowledge, but also how to live in accordance with that knowledge on a daily basis. We either take for granted our independence and act out of our own self-righteous understanding, or we simply do not remember correctly the way we should go. All of this stems from our failure to find God as mysterious in His renewed effects.

 The goodness of the LORD will be evident to all, and those who oppose Him will be torn down and never allowed to rebuild. Those who follow the LORD will never be shaken, but will always give thanks to Him. They will be glad and rejoice in His love, confessing their own transgressions. The LORD will protect them from trouble and surround them with songs of deliverance. He will counsel them and watch over them, and they will boast in the LORD, teaching others to fear Him. The LORD will slay the wicked and vindicate His followers, who will rejoice in Him and delight in His salvation. They will give thanks to Him in the great assembly, speaking of His righteousness and praising Him all day long. It is God's will that we receive blessings and that anything opposing us be destroyed by the curse. God wills that they soon die away and gives us the desires of our heart. Our righteousness will shine like the dawn and the justice of our cause like the noonday sun. The wicked will be cut off and opposition will be no more. We will inherit the land and enjoy great peace.Our politicians have been corrupted by special interests, and some of them are even secretly financing the terrorist groups that are trying to destroy America. But God will never forsake those who seek Him. We will never have trouble. We will never be shaken, never build the wicked up again. We will never be put to shame, never be forsaken or begging bread. We will never get up from the place where we lie, we will never see the light [of life].Blessing and cursing are two sides of the same coin. God will never let the righteous fall, and they will never be shaken or put to shame. His inheritance will never fail or be forsaken. They will never enter my rest. We will never be moved. Wicked sins will never be blotted out. God has made a life and death covenant. He has decreed whatever we are facing in eternity past. He created all history in His eternal counsel by speaking the law, covenants, curses, statutes, promises and decrees. When we pronounce the axioms we view real reality. We only have trouble that is in our view.All of our opposition is successful because we do not bring them before the eternal counsel to be judged. God is storing up wrath for the day of judgement, and as we present our case through the axioms, it is clear that He takes delight in His people. If you really believe in eternal punishment and eternal life, the only way to bridge the other side in a world that is cursed is to bring eternity into time. If eternity does not apply to us, then eternity is pure pragmatism. If God does not allow and prevent by blessing and cursing, then the law is stripped of the pronouncement of death to the smallest offense.

2 Cor1 9Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. 10He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, & he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope thathe will continue to deliver us,"We are being delivered. We are confident that we will be delivered from all opposition, just as the apostle was confident that he would be delivered. If the apostle was not delivered, then the curse of the law would have no value. This perfect application is essential in communicating all things from the first man, according to the axioms in His work of renewing us to our true value. Our lives are not like replacing parts on a machine; rather, they are much more complex.The evidence of our lives demonstrates that God values everything He has created, both through His additions and subtractions. His valuation of us is based on His view of our lineage from the first man. Our true value comes from God. We are born into this world as a small part of the greater universe, and His control over our lives is successful in whatever we do in relation to the rest of the universe. If God did not control how we view ourselves as sinners, we would vanish in an instant. When you think that your sin is preventing God from saving you, you are effectively putting yourself on equal footing with God in terms of your ability to save yourself. You are pointing to your signature on the contract between you and God. But that contract was signed in the blood of His Son. It is foolish to make deals with God. The LORD says to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet." Christ sits on His throne as the ruler over the nations. He rules through the perfect mediation of the law, covenants, curses, statutes, promises and decrees. The LORD will extend your mighty scepter from Zion; you will rule in the midst of your enemies. Your troops will be willing on your day of battle.""Clothed in holy majesty, from the bosom of the dawn you shall receive the dew of your youth." Christ conveys the axioms, giving us ability and will, that He may achieve victory through the supernatural imparting of the power of youth upon Israel's armies. 4” The LORD has sworn and will not change his mind: “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.” He has fulfilled His covenant with Israel through the eternal priesthood of Melchizedek.This statement in the axioms, "The Lord is at your right hand; he will crush kings on the day of his wrath. He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead & crushing the rulers of the whole earth.He will drink from a brook beside the way therefore he will lift up his head." demonstrates that He rules through life & death pronouncements. He fights against the kings and then walks out to the brook and refreshes Himself like a man.

 The statement "Without Me you can do nothing" is not referring to potential ability, but to actual ability. This is because our imagination is a necessary force. In this verse, it is talking about going from inability to ability. When we are regenerated, we get a new will. The reason we need a new will is because our old will is dead to the things of God. We only have our 5 senses, which are dead to the things of God. Without a new will, we are dead people living on a dead earth. Dead people form physical gods with their 5 senses.The unregenerate person creates gods in their own image, according to their own understanding of reality. These gods are dead, lifeless idols that the unregenerate person worships out of their own desire. However, God looks down from heaven and sees the unregenerate person's desire to worship a dead god. In response, God says that He will make the unregenerate person like their dead gods. But for the righteous person, who has been regenerated and given new spiritual senses, they are able to understand what is of greater value. This is compared to feasting at a table full of the finest foods. When we are regenerated, we gain an understanding of what is truly of worth.The Holy Spirit prompts us to partake in feasting at the Lord's table, which is an abundance of the harvest of God's creation. We are sitting at a covenant table, and things are wonderful for us to imagine. We imagine through illumination by word and Spirit unto reality. We are not obsessively focused on physical needs but on spiritual nourishment for our souls.The physical needs of individuals are met within the covenantal relationship with God. However, the spiritual longings and desires of humans are not completely satisfied in this life. Thus, humans long to see and be in the presence of God and find comfort and pleasure in Him forevermore. They weep and the tears fall on God's scroll, which is sealed with seven seals. In the last days, this scroll will be opened and all of the suffering of the righteous at the hands of the wicked will be vindicated. According to God, vengeance is His to take, and He will do so in due time. There is still a final judgment to be carried out, beyond what happened in 70 AD. When we pray, it is like making an offering of the evening sacrifice. When the priests took the blood and applied it to the sacrifice, it was a sign that the curses for sin would not be carried out on God's chosen people. When they took the animal and put the knife to its throat, they were placing all the curses for sin on the animal, making it an object of curse. Breaking the law required a blood sacrifice, which served as payment for the sin.The price of the covenant demanded payment not only from those who were part of the covenant community, but also from those who were outside of it. When Moses came down from the mountain and saw the people worshiping idols, he commanded the people to take sides. The people who were part of the covenant then slew their own countrymen and their own family who had chosen the idols and were not part of the covenant community. This was the same act as when the priest took the knife to the throat of the animal.The priest was offering an object of satisfaction for sin and was cursing the enemies of God. More than the sorrow over sin, there was the desire for God to come and bring a deliverance. Since the priest did this day after day, it was the sweet smelling aroma of the fulfillment of the desire of Israel that the Messiah would come and take away sin. The priest protected the covenant community by slashing the throat of the animal. Christ as Deliverer was the desire of Israel. This whole sacrificial system was forward looking and it was not mainly about our sins. Sentimentalism is a gentile philosophy.

 One of the issues I see with the current understanding of the law is that there is a lack of focus on the fear of God as a motivation. I believe we are too focused on the practical applications of the law, and not enough on the metaphysical standards set by the law. This disconnection from the heart of the law leads to a focus on outward behavior, instead of on the internal motivation for good behavior. The Bible, as the law of God, warns us not to be shaped by the mindset of the world.When we do not attempt to compare what we are being taught with what the Bible says, we are being molded into a certain way of thinking. This way of thinking can be deceptive, as it does not take into account the Bible's perspective. We should instead think after God, and our communication will be different - not only in the way we talk about God, but in the way we describe the standards. This is a universe of two opposing world views.There is a fundamental opposition between these two ways of thinking. We do not live in a world where we can take the good elements of the wrong view and accept it as a good way. We live in a world of opposition, not only to the Christian way of thinking, but also to the society in which we have common ground. Because there is only one true image of the real man, and all other images that are painted about the society represented by that man are against the laws of God.This is why we cannot approach God with a sense of morality that is based on a scale of good and bad. Because we, as sinful humans, can only ever come to God as representatives of sinful mankind. We come as an image in comparison to the real man – Jesus Christ. And when God looks at us, He sees His Son and He gives us something else to do that will be impossible for us. But all men are judged by the same standard – that of the self-righteous man – because every idol thought is anti-social and anti-God. Men are born into a universe that is opposed to a standard of perfect justice, honor, power, and strength. Because men naturally want to create their own power and honor, they devise their own ways to achieve these goals. This can sometimes result in a generation of tower builders who think they are on the same level as God. However, a new generation always comes along that is even more evil and they continue to build on the backs of the poor and oppressed. Because God is the only one who is worthy of honor, as there are no other gods who are equal to him. The problem with humans are not that they reform their outward behavior, but that they form a world in which God is forgotten, and eventually try to do away with him. You can't serve both God and Mammon.

 A person who has been regenerated is made new in the Spirit. He or she becomes God's personal child. He or she no longer belongs to this earth but has been bought with a price. God has purchased us from the slave market. We were slaves to sin and Christ bought us out of the economy of false scales and he put us in an economy of promises. Christ transformed all of our relationships by creating in us a clean heart completely free from sin. He declared us innocent in the courts of heaven by placing us in a body that makes all judgement in this earth as yea and amen.He took us out of a society that was full of threats and destruction, where we were constantly crying out in distress, and placed us in a community that is based on voluntary socialism. We have already been present in heaven as complete in His presence as if we all were united in one desire and goal. Even in a society of professional theologians we are not guaranteed a true real experience of Christian companionship because all men major on the minors and change grace by their own prejudice. Where is this moral sin placed?If God has promised us completeness in community, why are we still experiencing dread and persecution? One reason is that we do not see that moral sin is defined in scripture as a departure from orthodoxy by attacking God's people. We think that it is only about individual obedience. However, God does not approach His own through the law. He condemns this Pharisee. Where in the New Testament do we find a church panel for members to stand before in order to be questioned about their sin?What specific evidence can you find in the New Testament that the apostles established a new Jewish Sanhedrin-like court to adjudicate religious disputes? The only examples of such judgement mentioned in the New Testament relate to people who have apostatized from the faith. In fact, the main opposition the apostles faced came from established religious institutions. Paul did not codify the requirements for church membership into a set of rules and regulations. He did not apply these qualifications in a systematic way within the church.Paul was not trying to establish a set of behaviors or rules to be followed, but rather was concerned with creating a holistic understanding of the gospel that would produce unity in the body. He was not trying to create a club with requirements for membership, but rather was urging people to follow his example as he followed Christ. In other words, he was not trying to establish a church government with a set of rules, but rather was urging people to apply the gospel to their lives personally. This was in line with the Old Testament idea of a shepherd taking care of his flock, meeting their needs and helping them to grow.If we say that there is no condemnation for sinners under the new covenant, but then focus on obscure parts of the new testament that were never as important as the main things, we are practicing the very system that Paul opposed and that they opposed Paul. We are saying that there is no condemnation for covenant sinners, but by our practice we are condemning them. Seriously, what right does one person have over another? What right do you have to control someone's life? What right do you have to bring your brother into judgement?What justification do you have for ignoring the gifts of the gospel because you see sin in the church? All of the connections in the new testament are a way of living in covenant with God. There is no option or system that is perfect above the simple applications of the gospel. This is why the church is protected as an institution of grace. Because it must be reformed not realigned to man's worldly institutional applications in authority structures. We all are required to focus on one path to wholeness. There is no other option.If the gospel message does not match the application of it in the church, then one part of the message will end up denying the other part. Unless we speak the gospel of grace not only as encouragement, but also as the foundation of our local church community, then we are only enforcing our own prejudices upon the institution. Reformation is about getting back to the application of the gospel as the engine for unity. It is reforming from the top down that will bring these gifts to enjoy. There is no condemnation! This is writing about the general state of the church. I am not pointing to Calvinism or Armininism, but to the American experience of what I call always kicking a can.

 Hope is not just a vague expectation that something good will happen to us in the future. Hope is a present reality, because we serve a God who gives us hope by always providing us with what He knows we need to experience a living hope. Hope is an eternal reality because it is based on our relationship with a God who is eternal. We all have desires that are either being fulfilled or that we hope will be fulfilled one day. This is how we experience life in this world. Our confidence and joy come from how these desires affect our present happiness. Therefore, we can gauge the level of hope we have by how these desires impact our current joy. If we have any other feelings or emotions attached to our hope, then these will affect our current experience of joy and hope. As human beings, we experience life as a journey and approach all our circumstances with this perspective. If we have not taken the time to consider the different weights or sorrows that might be lurking in our thoughts and connections, then we may be carrying around these burdens without even realizing it. This is why I think it is necessary to consider the eternal hope that we have right now.Because if we can ignite the fire of hope that exists within us then all of these spiritual desires that we have will begin to come to fruition and we will experience the joy of hope. So in this section I will explain how we can kindle that gift that exists within us both in terms of our physical experience and our spiritual understanding.Because we hope in a Person and since Christ dwells in us by the Holy Spirit, when we have exhausted all our energy in dealing with our sorrows, we find that we have little time left to experience this hope. However, living in hope is living with a sense of peace and joy. Let us make hope come alive in this thread.

 The purpose of life, as demonstrated by Christ's example, is to serve others and make the world a better place. We can never improve on what Christ did, but we can learn from His example and strive to emulate His selfless love and compassion.Now, when we look at this comparison between Jesus' life and our own, we can see that our ability to achieve what we want is nothing in comparison to His accomplishments. This is why He identified with us as a human being, because He knows how we mess things up.He understands how difficult it is for us to accomplish what we know we should be doing. Seeing that He was able to eliminate sickness from the world at that time, we can understand that He is not expecting us to be distraught about our accomplishments. At the same time, since He suffered as a human being, He was tired. He experienced physical, mental, and spiritual pain. Therefore, He knows what we are going through.Even though Jesus lived on this earth, He did not completely take care of all the world's problems. Instead, He left this earth after His resurrection and gave us His Spirit so that we might complete the work He started. So we are already caught up in this world, but we still haven't reached its full potential. This is a bit meta physical, I'm sorry, but if you think about time as the little hand moves around the clock and think about the past, present, and future as the little hand moves, then you are looking at the past and the future moving as the little hand moves.The question then becomes, how much do we really know about the present? One of the reasons the Bible speaks of the present as an age or period of time is because it is seen as a system. If we think of the element of experience, then the past overtakes the future. This is determined as a matter of being in time. We can think of this in increments of minutes, days, months, years, a lifetime, a generation, and the history of the world. When looked at from this perspective, there doesn't seem to be much to the present or future experience in this world.This is why God is beyond time, so when we experience being in a relationship with God, it is as if we are thinking His thoughts. Then the past becomes our experience. Here, I think, is a healthy view of forgetting about oneself in the transaction. But if we have our minds on earthly things, then we lose that real experience as the past moves into the future.

 The power of God can work through us and empower us to do things that we otherwise would not be able to do. If we were completely paralyzed, for example, we would have to conclude that God has not given us the ability to move. The reason that God does not always meet us in the middle is because the ability that we have has no cause in itself, while God's ability is caused by Himself. If we could compare ability, it would be like the strength or heaviness of a weight that overcomes the opposing weight.The point is that equal weights do not necessarily represent the underlying reasons for explaining the reality of the effort. The reality of the effort is represented by the heavier weight pulling down the other lighter side. So the actual cause is displayed in the movement itself. This is why believing has this confession of mans powerlessness . When we rejoice in Gods power we are acknowledging that we do not cause our own power.When we acknowledge our own powerlessness, we are giving all the credit to God. This is the reality of the world, in light of how we view ourselves as sinners before God. When we say that God is perfect, we are defining it as Christ being the only man worthy of that perfection because He was sinless. When we say that Christ was sinless, we are acknowledging that we are corrupted in every part. We are admitting that no good dwells in us, so that we might understand in a deeper way that Christ's death produced all the good, and that we might know who we are in Christ. It is a fact that what is good is something we must be aware of in order to tap into our full potential. By understanding the dichotomy between good and evil, we can better understand ourselves and where our abilities come from. If we want to truly understand ourselves, we need to get our energy from a real source. When we say that there is a view of life in which we feel sense experience ability, we are saying that we have a rational understanding of were the causes of all these experiences originate. If we do not have the correct understanding of how we should live in this world, then the effort we put into this understanding will be wasted and will determine the way we live. This is why God works through us, so that when the apostle says "I want to know you power," he is saying that the power will come from God and that the apostle will be able to experience this power through both the metaphysical connection and the physical enabling. The apostle is confessing that he is weak and it is the grace of God that enables him to experience the flow of power from God.

 The reality of this life is determined by how one stands in relation to salvation. It is believed by some that everyone is intimately acquainted with God before they are born in the birthing process. It is further thought that salvation is determined by God in His counsel from all eternity. This means that, in a sense, God seeing us or intimately ordering the way we are formed sets the reality of our salvation as an eternal reality to us. Because before we receive salvation, God knows our ways as determinate all the way back into the secret place.We are connected to the Father in His redemptive seeing. Our past sins have no hold on our identity as the apostle says who terrorized the church.. "I do not have the blood of men on my hands." In other words it is in that secret place as a matter of identity.We are connected to the Father through His redemptive power. It is essential to realize that our identity is not based on our past sinfulness, but on our new relationship with Christ. When we first come to Christ, we experience a real release from the power of sin and a deep sense of joy and satisfaction in our new spiritual transformation and salvation. However, we need to understand that this transformation is based on God's grace alone. In the early days of our faith, we may still be testing and exploring this new sense of identity, but it is crucial to remember that our worthiness comes from God.The power of the gospel was experienced by us. We were wondering if that experience would lessen over time and if we would then begin to fall back to our former experience. However, we would wake up and there would be a new day, a new experience as our hope. We had a profound attachment to the work of the Spirit in that regeneration experience. Brothers, the simplicity of that experience was exactly what the apostle was warning us to guard! Why have you so quickly wandered from that work of the Spirit?There are a few very simple concepts that we need to get back in touch with. Salvation is a concept that is communicated through language because the universe we live in is really an impersonal or personal relationship to the universe of spoken language. Let me explain. The opposition that we have is a voice of irrationality that we must identify in our ongoing way of thinking. We are dealing in a personal way against the devil through concepts that He knows will form an identity that is irrational.The most ferocious attack will be directed at our trust in Christ. Because our trust is a proposition that we have confessed Christ. He will say" if God is real then let Him save you, let Him deliver you." In other words we are influenced by this general proposition that is a daily occurrence that comes in our world. The truth is that we have very little power of proposition to form our identity in our own finite view of this world. This world is filled with a multitude of devils propositions that make us a different identity than we are. We are dealing with an attack on the mind first and then we experience a deep level of struggling in our proposed identity.This is a world where Christ is absolutely in charge, and we often struggle to focus on something that is not entirely true. I think I am focusing on the proposition "My Sheep hear my voice and they follow me." This is a clear proposition that we can follow.It is essential to understand that our Father spoke our salvation into existence from eternity past. This identity is much greater and more powerful than any other identity that could be proposed to us. We live in a world where we are constantly facing opposition and temptation to create idols out of other men that propose false identities to us that provide temporary satisfaction. However, it should be clear to us that this world is one in which men use different half-truths to deceive and manipulate others. This is why God says that the tongue is a world of evil, because it has the ability to set the course of a man's life.We are not susceptible to falling under the spell of another man and departing from the voice of our Shepherd because we are opposing the propositions of the Pharisee and the reprobate. We are experiencing a war of propositions.In order for us to have a hope that cannot be moved, we must have a connection to the power of the Shepherds warnings and encouragement. This way, we might be able to identify those words that we have no control over, and change the course of our world. Men can destroy another man in a temporary sense with a few words.

The Psalmist is teaching that if we do not have the oracles of God in our hearts, then we are engaging in a form of flattery. The phrase "in his own eyes" refers to the wicked mans own heart in the previous verse. The Psalmist has the oracles of God in his heart, but the wicked do not, and that is flattery. The Psalmist is teaching that a heart filled with hate is actually what accuses God of hate by cursing sin. The wicked cannot be justified in this way because of the hate-filled heart.The author is comparing the words of the oracles to the words used by the wicked man. He suggests that the wicked man creates his own god by using the ideas and words of the oracles. In other words, since the man has no fear of God, he hates the oracles and practices making his own god or hating his neighbor. The Psalmist is not talking about the attitude of hate but the process by which the wicked man sees reality. This laziness in understanding the oracles leads to incorrect judgments toward Christians.The grace that God gives us is beyond our understanding. The judgements that we use are very self-deceptive. But thankfully, we do not practice the sin that the Psalmist speaks of here.( ra a to undue all good in society- covenant unfaifulness) Even when the we are at our most vulnerable, "the wicked continue to plot evil and commit himself to sinful courses of action." Unlike Christians, "the wicked man does not reject what is wrong." He actively seeks out and destroys all that is good in society. The sin of ra a is one that he does not reject.The primary difference between the saved and the wicked is that the former are saved by grace and have the word of God implanted in them. The latter, however, do not have this understanding of God because they are not given the new man. Thus, while the saved may technically practice the sin of rebellion by not judging by the oracles and the sin of making other gods, not knowing God by the oracles, they do so out of a lack of understanding and not hate- ra a.The Psalmist is not pitting the believer against the wicked man in terms of thoughts and actions, but rather is contrasting the oracles of God with the wicked man's ways. Any man who loves the oracles of God knows that God cannot accept our good works - instead, this is a matter of God's salvation, in which defending God is defending His people. We speak of the law, covenants, curses, decrees, statutes, and promises - and the Psalmist is here speaking of the covenant love of God, who has sworn to Himself to carry it out. "His unfailing love reaches to the heavens."If it were not for the love and faithfulness of God, we would also break up all that is good in this world. But for the grace of God, "His righteousness is like the mighty mountains, and His justice is like the great deep." The Psalmist uses the name EL to refer to the God who is sovereign and controls all things. This God never changes His law. He judges all things. His curses are always justified.The Psalmist describes the only hate as the righteous indignation of God towards the wicked who practice evil, rather than the saints taking vengeance themselves. 7"How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings." Gods righteous indignation is not hateful because He shows mercy, allowing the wicked time to repent and save themselves. His purpose is to save mankind. God is a good God all the time. He is speaking of Gods promises in the oracles. God promises to be the refuge that we can flee from all the dangers of this world.
