Ego Gorging Lust Exposed In The Words Of The Saints
“
Supportive Reads:
“
Evil lust driven people are very clever at twisting words or facts to (totally irrationally or illogically) say whatever they lusted to make those words, truths or facts say.
”
For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
Matthew 12:34 (similarly Luke 6:45)
Many of the writings and proclamations of the Apostle Paul borders on deliberated stupidity insanity (i.e. snack of a lust fueled disconnect with reality, with him constantly contradicting himself, his very own proclamations) due to his vehemence rages against circumcision. because of the Jewish 'converts' who had dared to challenge his supreme infallible authority.
Instead of focusing on the need to repent to begin sincerely seeking to obey GOD and keep HIS commandments as had been very clearly, plainly and explicitly taught and commanded by JESUS, the Apostle Paul obsessively focused instead on circumcision and uncircumcision (Romans 2:25, 26, 27, 28, 29; 3:1, 30; 4:9, 10, 11, 12; 15;6; 1 Corinthians 17:18, 19; Galatians 2:3, 7, 8, 9; 2:12; 5:2, 3, 6, 11; 6:12, 13, 15; Ephesians 2:11; 5:15; Philippians 3:3, 5; Colossians 2:11, 3:11; 4:8; 4:11; Titus 1:10), using his own personal twisted invented definition of grace, faith and love, as a ruse, twisting the meaning and concepts of sin, law, love, faith and grace into something else altogether so as to be able to expressed his uncontrollable insanity fueled rages against those who had dared to question his supreme greatness and supreme knowledge in the mystery of GOD (Romans 11:25, 16:25; 1 Corinthians 2:7, 4:11, 13:2, 15:51; Ephesians 9:1, 3:3 – 4, 9, 5:32, 6:19).
Thus through 'spiriting' (away) faith, grace, law, sin, offenses, love and righteousness twisting real expression in reality into meaningless emotions seeded and fueled (aka hormones and chemicals induced) fabricated and invented (aka spins of) ethereal concepts of a so called spirituality (as of him being so spiritual and not carnal) versus carnality (which by the way are the central focus of many pagan religions); redefining(through renaming) the New Covenant in the Passover into a so called testament, and Communion and Lord's Supper respectively; and even the compulsory repentance in baptism replacing it with a confused undefined ethereal faith, confusing undefined ethereal grace and a lawlessness of not being under the law, instead of the essential focus on beginning to sincerely and steadfastly seeking GOD to keep (i.e. honor, obey, perform to fulfill) the commandments of GOD and LORD JESUS, to do GOD's will and work (for each of us individually and also collectively as the body of CHRIST), the Apostle Paul effectively did was “spirited” away all the things that JESUS taught that would make grace applicable.
But of course not all the Apostle Paul writing were bordering on insanity only those where he (in his own personal supreme Be-all-end-all capacity) tried to twist and spins in total deliberated stupidity with lust seeded fabricated inventions added in, into saying how grace and faith do away with the need for circumcision, which of course they don't. Circumcision being no longer required in the New Covenant is by virtue of totally different reasons and these reasons have nothing to do with the Law of Moses, the Commandments and Laws of GOD, faith andor grace.
The Circumcision Covenant was symbolic representation (as a sign of Abraham's obedience and faith that are the foundation and the framework) of the promises to Abraham that GOD made with regards to future Covenants GOD would make with Abraham's genealogical descendants.
The first focus regarding the promises of GOD to Abraham in the Circumcision Covenant was on the genealogy of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (i.e. biological genetic lineage of all three, not just Abraham but specific to all three of them and only them only and not one else). Circumcision was used as the covenant's symbol because it focused on the male sex organ to call attention to and highlight, the fleshy, earthly and the biological (i.e. genealogical) nature of this covenant and that it is recognized only through the man (i.e. the male) as the head of his household. The discussion on why genealogy is an important focus particularly but not exclusively during the Old Covenant period and before that, is in a separate discussion (planned) in this blog.
Now the Lord had said to Abram:
“Get out of your country,
From your family
And from your father’s house,
To a land that I will show you.
I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you
And make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
Genesis 12:1 – 3
And the Lord said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing, since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him
Genesis 18:17 – 18
Then the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time out of heaven, and said: “By Myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son— blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”
Genesis 22:15 – 18
But the Circumcision Covenant has an additional promise with a universal focus that the Jews from after the Babylonian captivity in deliberated stupidity ignored. And this additional promise (Genesis 12:3, 18:18, 22:18) is not (and no longer) focus just on the genealogical progenies of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (even as they too are heirs to this additional promise) but has a universal focus. This second promise extends to all humankind who have ever lived (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob too being heirs, so too Abel, Enoch and Noah, to this promise to inherit the Kingdom and immortality). This promise is retroactive to all, from Adam and Eve onwards and extend to all humankind that had been born as well as to all who will be born until the very last birth in the social order of mankind.
The Two Separate Promises Of The Circumcision Covenant
First and initially through the promises of the Circumcision Covenant were only to Abraham's son Isaac (and not his other children by his other wives) and his grandson Jacob (but not Esau) for their genealogical descendants (includes all who would join with them in the Promised Land as sons of the household of Abraham, sons by adoption) via the Ten Commandments aka the Old Covenant with pertains only to physical (as opposed to the Spiritual, pertaining to the GOD level realm for the HOLY SPIRIT composed) inheritance of this earthly realm.
Although the Circumcision Covenant was first and directly made to Abraham, however it was not just nor specifically to only Abraham and all this progenies. It was actually more specific to Jacob (Abraham's grandson) then it was to both Abraham and Isaac. The rest of Abraham's sons (by Hagai and Keturah were not included) as likewise not the other son of Isaac sons (i.e. Esau) was included but only Jacob.
So then technically and thus actually the first promise of the Circumcision Covenant is specific only to Jacob aka Israel as only in Jacob is, all the progenies, heirs (aka inheritors) to the promise of the Promised Land as an everlasting inheritance.
The second promise (of the Circumcision Covenant) and its focus is only to be later, when the first Covenant, the Ten Commandments Covenant, as prophesied, would be ended due to persistent total unfaithfulness and failure to honor that Covenant by the Israelite (which includes the Jews aka Judah), as the (agreeing) other party (with GOD the proposing party) to this Ten Commandments Covenant.
In this second focus the promise extends (to the initial and all along whole purpose of GOD creating humankind in HIS image and likeness) to all of humankind (both already dead, living and yet to be born) through (the redemption made available in) the SON of GOD by the Everlasting Covenant mediated by the SON of man made in the BLOOD and living WORD of GOD, into the GOD level realm of being HOLY SPIRIT composed immortals. So then the Circumcision Covenant is not just some random ad hoc event, but the very first step to the (process of) restoration by GOD for creating humankind in HIS image and likeness.
The full complete process of this restoration all the way to the completion of GOD's purpose for HIS creation are laid out in the seven day week, the Sabbath and also in the (seven) annual Feasts or Festivals (i.e. Passover, Feast Of Unleavened Bread, Feast of Week/Firstfruits, Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, Feast of Tabernacles and the Last Great Day) of GOD.
of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God, the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Colossians 1:25 – 27
So no, contrary to the evil lies (Galatians 3:8, 14) and ego gorging claims (in Colossians 1:26, 25) of the ego supergorging Apostle Paul that the promises of the gentiles (i.e. all humankind) being heirs was 'hidden from ages and from generations' and only then finally 'revealed to the Saints' through him. The gentiles (i.e. all the nations or all humankind) being heirs were already revealed thousands of years before in the Pentateuch recorded by the Prophet Moses as part of the Circumcision Covenant that GOD made with Abraham (includes Isaac and Jacob) as well as by the Prophet Amos (Amos 9:11 – 12).
Truth of the matter is, the plagiarizing Apostle Paul already totally knew (Acts 15:1 – 4, 7, 13 – 17) that it was through (as appropriate) the Chief Apostle Peter (not him, the supergorging plagiarizing liar) that GOD officially extend the promises to Abraham in the Circumcision Covenant to the gentiles (Acts 10:9 – 48; Acts 15:1 – 11).
The New Covenant is made on (i.e. mediated with) better promises. Promises pertaining to immortality as HOLY SPIRIT born personages, of becoming HOLY SPIRIT composed Sons (i.e. Offspring or Children) of GOD reflecting back to GOD's original (and consistent) intent (Malachi 6:3). This was when GOD created mankind in HIS image and likeness and placed them in a garden paradise, the Garden of Eden, where the fruit of the Tree of Life was fully available for their consumption (i.e. immortality was offered as part of their being created in the image and likeness of GOD).
Another main focus in the Circumcision Covenant was that it was on the family as a unit with the father (i.e. man) as the head of his household, all of his household (including slaves and bond servants) extending to all his male progenies in their perpetual generations as long as they honor and perform the requirement of the covenant which is the circumcision of foreskin of all the males.
In the New Covenant the main focus is on the individual, both men and women each individually in their own personal capacity in their individual commitment to honor, keep and perform the Everlasting Covenant and all that is entailed. The second focus is on the (analogical or symbolic) collective, the entire body in the membership or the Church (aka the body of CHRIST who is the HEAD) as the collective whole of the individual members as well as all the congregations or assemblies as one whole assembly, congregation or Church.
Anyone truly sufficiently rational and sane would (or should anyway) have seen through all the twists, and redefinition with spins added in, of what the Apostle Paul was doing to the meanings of sin, law, righteousness, love and grace, as well as correspondingly, why he was doing so.
And if anyone would not deliberately pretend stupidity they would (or should anyway) know that from the time of Apostles of CHRIST to this very day except for and had it not been for the disclosures (which has since been plagiarized by many to proclaim themselves) in this work here and in all the earlier discussions) no one ever did.
No one of all those who have read andor studied the Bible or even the original text of the Christian Holy Scriptures (until this work), had ever been sufficiently rational and sane to be able to see through all the twists, spins, redefinitions and inventions in the Epistles of the evil blasphemous ego supergorging Apostle Paul, so very clearly and explicitly proclaimed by him in all his Epistles for the whole of humanity to witness and take note of.
Read again all the Epistles of the ego mega gorging Apostle and read all the twists, spins, inventions and redefinition he made: how faith can be made void and the promise of GOD can becoming meaningless (Romans 4:14) if anyone were to honor and keep the commandments of GOD (i.e. according to the evil blasphemous Apostle Paul, we all need to be without law or be lawless for faith to be valid and for the promise of GOD to have an effect); how if anyone becomes circumcised they will fall from grace; and that the law (i.e. commandments) of GOD is impossible to be kept (obeyed), thereby effectively saying that GOD is evil to institute laws that are impossible for us to keep so that HE can condemned us so that HE can then justify us by faith through grace.
All these, if we will not deliberately pretend to be stupid, we would (or should anyway) know them for the explicit blasphemies that they totally and absolutely are.
No doubt some who are rules-based hairsplitters will ask:
‘The Apostle John in his Epistles and Gospel accounts wrote about love and loving one another as did the Apostle Paul. How is it the love espoused (i.e. spoken) by the Apostle Paul is ethereal while that of the Apostle John is not?’
Very clearly, plainly and simply, the Apostle John wrote of love expressed in and by the Ten Commandments of GOD, while the Apostle Paul wrote (quite explicitly albeit very totally and absolutely contradictory, repeatedly again and again contradicting himself) of a ethereal emotional love which he proclaimed made the law unnecessary or irrelevant (i.e. to and of no purpose) because this ethereal emotion of love fulfills (and thus abolishes, redefining the meaning of fulfill into to do away with or to nullify) it so that we are not, no longer under the law but under grace.
To say that we are not under the law is to say the law does not apply to (or no longer apply for) us. And if the law does not apply to Christian, does not that mean that for Christians there is no longer any law? Does not, no law or no longer under any law means without law? And does not without law means lawless and lawlessness?
For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
Romans 6:14
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.
Romans 8:7
(Note: here in this verse we can very clearly see the Apostle Paul in total contradiction of massive stupidity of utter cluelessness, actually testifying against himself and his own evil doctrines where he spoke that being carnal, of having a 'carnal mind is enmity against GOD' because it will not be 'subject to the law of GOD, nor indeed can be' basically and in total cluelessly admitting himself as being in enmity against GOD which was the reason he preached explicitly against the Laws of GOD)
These two verses proclaimed by the Apostle Paul in Romans chapter 8 verse 7 completely and absolutely convicts him (Luke 19:22) of the sin of being in enmity against GOD. The very words of his own mouth convicted (Luke 19:22) him of his very glaringly enmity against GOD (Matthew 12:34; Luke 6:45) because of his very carnal mind that was just totally fixated on his self perceived (i.e. ego supergorging lust for) greatness, slave level lowly humility as the least of the least (Ephesians 3:8), spirituality (great spiritual maturity), enlightenment and knowledge mastery of the mystery of GOD.
I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men?
1 Corinthians 3:2 – 3
For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.
Galatians 1:10
For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Hebrews 5:12 – 14
In 1 Corinthians chapter 3 verses 2 to 3 and Hebrews chapter 5 verses 12 to 14, the Apostle Paul rebuked the Elect (under his personal authority) for being carnal and of being babe (i.e. lacking maturity in spirituality and knowledge) holding himself as being very spiritual (i.e. spiritually very matured) and very knowledgeable and greatly skilled in being able to discern both good and evil. But was he really (for both)? And again his own words, the words from his own mouth convicted him of his very brazen ego supergorging lust (Romans 1:2 – 3).
Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things. And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?
Romans 1:2 – 3
The Apostle Paul to the Gentiles spoke of a love that fulfills the commandments (Romans 13:8 – 10) in the exact same way (which is to twist to redefine the word to mean something else from what it actually means) that the Christmas religion (especially the daughter harlots churches beginning from around after the 1st World War) proclaimed that JESUS fulfills everything already (i.e. their definition of 'to fulfill' is to make irrelevant as something that is no longer valid having been done or finished with, and therefore done away with or abolished).
'Because', they proclaimed, 'it had already been fulfilled by JESUS CHRIST’, so there is nothing left that humankind need to do to be saved except just believe in JESUS, applying what HE had already accomplished so that we no longer need to do anything at all absolutely (except of course, to fall down and worship and totally unquestioning obey these proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives who had proclaimed this, to do all that they command us to do such as to persecute, torture, plunder, rape and murder anyone and everyone they tell us to).
Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
Romans 13:8 – 9
And that is the exact same way the Apostle Paul proclaimed that love is the fulfillment of the law, that since love is the fulfillment of the law therefore as long as we love our neighbors we no longer have to be bordered with what the law and commandments says. That, unless you are an absolute total complete moron and idiot, you would (or should anyway) know that what he was saying was we are no longer required to obey the law (i.e. commandments, statutes and judgments) of GOD; if we love one another we have already fulfill the law and no longer bound by (i.e. under) it.
Basically and precisely then, in Romans chapter 13 verses 8 and 9 the Apostle Paul twisted the sixth to tenth Commandments which are the expansion of the Second Great Commandment (Matthew 22:37 – 39) to explicitly say that as long as we love one another we can forget about (i.e. disregard and need not be bordered with) the law because loving one another already fulfills (i.e. make irrelevant and unnecessary) the law. Evil lust driven people are very clever at twisting words to make them say whatever they lusted for the words to say.
Anyone with still some semblance of real and effective (as opposed to an ego gorging lust fueled) intelligence would (or should anyway) have easily seen through these twisted lies and spins.
But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law sin was dead. I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death.
Romans 7:8 – 10
In Romans chapter 7 verses 8 to 10, the ego supergorging Apostle Paul in beyond total deliberated stupidity twisted the truth which is that sin causes death (something that everyone sane and who is not deliberately pretending stupidity, knows to be true including the evil blasphemous Apostle Paul) into saying that (i.e. implying in his explicitly arrogantly brazenly evil declarations that) the commandments of GOD which is the very expression of the love of GOD (John 14:15; 15:10; 1 John 5:2 – 3) is that which cause death to come upon him and all humankind.
Laws and sins are interdependent concepts as can be illustrated in the two ends of the same line or measure. Sin (as defined explicitly in the Scriptures) is lawlessness (of not conforming to andor of not obeying laws). The more lawful (i.e. obedient to laws), the less sinful you will be and the more lawless (i.e. breaking the law or law breaking) you are the more sinful you are. This one very simple basic thing the Apostle Paul in complete total absolute deliberated stupidity pretended to not understand so (i.e. in order, or to the purpose and intent) that he could preach and rail against circumcision and the Jewish converts.
Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.
1 John 3:4
Without understanding even the most basic of the basics of reality which is of cause and effect, the Apostle Paul was proclaiming and declaring that if there were no commandments of and from GOD, then there would be no sin and therefore no death (‘For apart from the law sin was dead. I was alive once without the law’), then no one would die, everyone will live forever.
Unless you too are being deliberately stupid you would (or should anyway) know that this would be the exact same thing as to say that if there is no GOD then there would be no death. This exposed just how totally, he had deliberately chosen lust fueled insanity (over intelligence and rational reality) and did not hesitate to very explicitly blaspheme GOD, arrogantly and explicitly proclaiming that it is GOD's commandments (the commandments that is love personified and expressed) that caused (or brought) death to him and to all of humankind.
In his ego supergorging lust he proclaimed that if there are no commandments then there won't be sins (i.e. evil won't exist, rape won't exist, murder won't exist, brutal violent carnage won't exist, etc.) without (because of his ego supergorging lust fueled insanity) even remotely understanding that he was also saying that if there is no GOD then there won't be death (i.e. he completely bought into and became complicit with Satan the Devil's declaration that GOD is the root to and the cause of death and sin in the creation, to become the Evil One's mouth piece, spokesman, agent servant and messenger) when the truth is if there is no GOD then there won't be life or anything. Then he together with everything else won't even exist let alone that he would not die and be alive forever (Romans 7:9).
Even as he did not explicitly said so he was cluelessly and stupidly declaring and proclaiming implicitly that it is the love (i.e. the commandments of love) of GOD (and therefore GOD is the ONE) which cause death to mankind. Thus in one lust fueled putrid breath (Romans 7:8 – 10) he had blasphemed the commandments of GOD, the love of GOD, the Gospel of Kingdom, the Passover New Covenant, the entirety of the Scripture of Truth (aka the Word of GOD) and GOD ALMIGHTY. This the evil blasphemous ego supergorging Apostle Paul did despite him being absolutely, distinctly and unmistakably clear that it is sin which cause death to all humankind because all sinned.
Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned
Romans 5:12
Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?
Romans 6:15
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Roman 6:23
For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law
Romans 2:12
Next, the evil ego supergorging blasphemous Apostle Paul twisted the truth which is that JESUS died as the LAMB of GOD to pay the penalty of humankind's sin, into the blasphemy that JESUS died to abolish, 'putting to death the enmity' which is ‘the law of commandments contained in ordinances’.
For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity.
Ephesians 2:14 – 16
The reality is if you are not under law (i.e. not subject to and “not required” to obey, the commandments of GOD and therefore not obeying but disobeying GOD) you are under sin. Because sin essentially is: not obeying GOD resulting in lawlessness; of not been ruled by (of behavior not in conformity with) the law of GOD (Hebrews 1:9; 2 Peter 2:8); of your behavior and conduct not framed by law or by anything, of just doing whatever you lusted to do.
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.
1 John 5:2 – 3
This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should
walk in it.
2 John 1:6
It is in the agenda (i.e. their intents in talking about love), that of the Apostle John was to highlight the requirement to obey GOD, keeping the commandments of GOD, while Paul's was to malign the Jewish converts who had dared challenge his supreme enlightened spiritual maturity and knowledge mastery on the issue of circumcision (Philippians 3:2), using all manner of twists, spins and inventions that he could come up with.
That was the reason why he irrationally in near total insanity contradicted himself repeatedly and completely (i.e. his reasoning and rationalizing particularly on circumcision, grace, sin, law, faith and love were full of gigantic gaping holes and inconsistencies, and made no rational or logical sense) throughout much of his writings, especially those from after the circumcision episode with the Jewish converts.
Even from the beginning of his calling, due to his ego supergorging lust of not wanting to be inferior to anyone and of not only just wanting to be superior over everyone, but of lusting to be the supreme greatest Be-all-end-all, the Apostle Paul struggled to understand the underlying points to the message of the Gospel.
Confused by his foundational training with the Jewish religious authorities (and their selective reading and studying of the Scriptures and their hairsplitting micromanaging rules-based approach to the law and commandments of GOD focusing on the letter rather than the intents and purpose of these laws and commandments), he never understood the separation between (i.e.. what differentiated) the Circumcision Covenant and the Old Covenant from the New Covenant (this even after it was revealed to him, as evident from his writing in his Hebrews Epistle) that the main difference was in the nature of what is being offered in the inheritance (i.e. Spirit inheritance of birth as HOLY SPIRIT composed Sons of GOD, versus dust composed inheritance), and not about law versus grace.
GOD's grace was already there from the very beginning (1 Peter 1:20; Revelation 13:8; 2 Timothy 1:9; Titus 1:2) when mankind was made in the image and likeness of GOD and was not something that only began to be applicable at, from and after the New Covenant.
Grace was the reason, mankind was created in the image and likeness of GOD; Noah and his family was preserved and spared; Abraham was called to be the Father of the Faithful; the promises were made to Abraham; the Israelite were freed to give them as their inheritance in the Promised Land; the children of the Israelite entered the Promised Land as their inheritance after all their parents died wandering the wilderness; the Jews were freed from their Babylonian captivity and returned to the Promised Land; JESUS was born as a SON of man and died to pay the sin of all humankind; the New Covenant was ordained and instituted that made available to all of humankind to become the Elect of GOD so they may have a second chance to receive the immortality which was GOD's grace (i.e. goodwill's intention or good intention and desire) to give to mankind dominion over the earth when HE created them in HIS image and likeness; the specific reason this author was called to do this work, etc. and etc..
Here is one very simple thing you (the readers, this is if and only if you think that this author can be believed) can do to understand grace in the phrase ‘Grace of GOD’. Search the New Covenant Scriptures for the word ‘grace’ then in place of the word ‘grace’ use the term ‘goodwill’. Search the Old Covenant Scriptures and in place of the word ‘grace’ use either the term ‘favor’ (as an expression for goodwill) or ‘goodwill’, whichever is applicable.
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Jeremiah 29:11
Here is one more thing to understand and know. Goodwill is definitive of the term ‘grace’ used in the English language Christian Bible whereas ‘favor’ is only an indicative expression, an expression of goodwill. The Old Covenant Scriptures were originally recorded in Hebrew while that of the New Covenant (mostly recorded) in Greek.
Today, the English language is the medium GOD is using to get HIS communications (i.e. communiqué) to mankind because it is the most vocabulary extensive language and the most complete (as of this day and age in the human social order) language to do so (and not because it is the most supremely supreme, because it is not, no human language is).
The very first thing to understand about grace is that it is GOD's grace, and even as the creatures too can have (i.e. exhibit) grace (i.e. behave and conduct themselves in goodwill and without any ill will towards others whatsoever) but essentially they don't. That is the reason none is righteous (meaning that all the creature personages are essentially either evil or will become evil, to the degree of their power impunity and situation opportunity).
Here is another thing, the basis to the concept of righteous is that it has to carry the attribute of an ability to be righteous. If you don't (i.e. have any ability to be) righteous, you cannot be unrighteous. Same holds true with good, if you do not have any ability to be good, you cannot be good and conversely be evil either. Both is about making a choice, usually an intent based decision, to do or to not do something you are capable of doing. This is discussed in more details in the chapter, ‘Self Righteousness And The Righteousness Of GOD’ of ‘Bible 101 — The Holy Bible Expounded’.
The next thing to know is that of GOD as the CREATOR of all things, it is in the purpose of GOD in creating the creature personages. Therefore grace has to do with GOD's will and purpose for creating HIS creature. And this purpose is not so that HE can destroy, either all of them or most of them, but that all of them (if they are so willing to forsake their lusts and evil conducts and behaviors) may attain to the purpose HE created them to become, and this is to be HIS HOLY SPIRIT composed Children to live forever without end in blessedness and love for one another.
So therefore GOD dealings with them is not to the ends (i.e. out of ill will) that HE can or should destroy them all (or most of them) or torture most of them sadistically forever as have been the doctrines of the evil so called Abrahamic religions. Therefore in HIS attitudes and dealings with HIS creature personages the intent is towards and for their forever good, welfare and well being; they are carried out in goodwill for the good, welfare and well being, towards the ends that they all have a forever of happiness (i.e. blessedness).
There is ‘favor’ and there is ‘out of favor’. Then there is ‘grace’ and a so called to ‘fall from grace’ or to have ‘fallen from grace’ (invented by the desperately wicked Apostle Paul and embraced by the Christmas religions). But with ‘goodwill’ there is the opposing ‘ill will’. And ‘ill will’ is definitely not the same thing as ‘out of favor’, 'fall out of favor', 'fall from grace' or ‘fallen from grace’.
GOD being truly righteous do not and can not (because HE won't) ever act out of ill will (which is literally, evil or malicious intentions), therefore the term ‘fallen from grace’ (an evil blasphemous invention of the Apostle Paul) has no operable (or applicable) reality meaning in the context of GOD's righteousness, loving kindness and good or goodness (Matthew 19:17; Mark 10:18).
No one can fall from the grace (of GOD) or can ever have fallen from grace, because the term has no applicable or operative meaning in the context of GOD's will and intents, attitudes, behaviors and conducts (i.e. expression of life and living).
No doubt there will be the scoffers and mockers who will accused GOD of acting in ill will towards Satan the Devil aka the Evil One, the Prophet Balaam, King Saul, Judas Iscariot, the Man of Sin or even the Beast and the False Prophet, for creating them to become evil or to become whoever they would become, just so that HE could ultimately destroy them in the Gehenna Fire. This we will discussed in the section, ‘Numerous Scriptural Writers’ of this discussion, as also this has been implicitly covered in the multipart discussion, ‘Readers' Question Why Do Innocents Suffer If GOD Is Just’ in the blog ‘The Holy Bible Expounded’.
But all their works they do to be seen by men. ......
Matthew 23:5
The writings of the Apostle Paul very clearly showed (i.e. exposed, especially in the book of Hebrews) that even as he used the term grace the most among all of the New Covenant writers, he never did understand what exactly was meant by the term ‘grace’ or ‘the grace of GOD’.
The same holds true with James and Jude, both the half brothers of JESUS and also the Apostle Peter. They were mostly (but not entirely) speaking of what they know next to nothing about just so as to appear before men (Matthew 23:5) to be knowledgeable, enlightened, spiritual and supremely wise.
Today, the exact same things have been happening with all the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of GOD beginning from the Thyatira era (very likely right from the Ephesus era for which we have some records while little to none from the those that followed until the Thyatira era) and never stopped right through the Philadelphia era to the very last Laodicea era.
Their writings (just all those published and easily available on the internet as of 2017 C.E.) many to most are totally the definitive hallmark of massive stupidity, of men (includes women) proclaiming massively stupid things all the while thinking to (and holding) themselves just how incredulously spiritually enlightened and full of knowledge and understanding (especially of the mystery of the Kingdom/God) they all were/are because of these massively stupid things they were/are able to proclaim.
And here is the reason. The opposite (or if you prefer, the enemy or adversary) of goodwill is not just ill will. The lack of any ill will, is not (i.e. do not translate as) good will but is still (i.e. remains as) ill will.
The lack of goodwill is also still (i.e. effectively translate as) ill will. The lack of good or ill will is just a milder or less harsh form of ill will, but ultimately in expression as a conduct or behavior, it is ill will (i.e. in not caring, unconcerned, indifference, couldn't care less, could not be bordered with, or don't give a hoot about).
This is the reason the Hebrew term ‘favor’ [chen H2603] (also translated in the Christian Bible as 'grace') and the Greek term ‘grace’ [charis G5485] (also in some instances translated as ‘favor’) both do not accurately, much less precisely conceptualized the original meaning when the term translated as ‘grace’ were used in both the Old and New Covenant Scriptures.
And here is why (the reason) the Apostle Paul behaved the way he did as was fully and definitively exposed in all his writings.
Firstly it was very obvious; he did not exhibit any real (or actual) goodwill towards GOD or LORD JESUS. While certainly he did not harbor ill will towards GOD or LORD JESUS but lacking any real commitment of goodwill towards GOD, his lack of goodwill ultimately became expressed as ill will (in his not hesitating to malign and blaspheme GOD when seeking to advance himself) once he was provoked into a raging fury by the Jewish 'converts' insistence that the Gentiles 'converts' must be circumcised.
His lack of good will towards GOD and also towards his Jewish brethren including towards the Apostle Peter were explicitly expressed as (exposed in his Epistles) ill will towards them (the Elect, the other Apostles of the LAMB, with GOD, the LORD JESUS, the Scripture of Truth and the laws of GOD, also included) for the whole of the creation to be a witness to.
The same too was true with the three truly fake friends of Job. They certainly did not harbor any ill will towards Job. In their self deceptions, they thought (i.e. hold or believe themselves that) they were his “real true friends” and were going to comfort him (in supposedly, good will or caring concerns and affections) in his trouble.
But very quickly their lack of goodwill began to be expressed when in self righteous indignation (thinking they were taking GOD's side against Job, they began brazenly lying in self perceived knowledge enlightenment) to falsely (i.e. totally became Satan the Devil's agents) and presumptuously accused him of sin when they have neither basis nor proof that Job had sinned but presumed it just because of the calamities and afflictions that had befallen Job.
The lack of goodwill towards GOD too was why Adam and Eve chose to believe a strange talking serpent. The lack of goodwill towards the Israelite was why the Prophet Balaam conspired with Balak and plotted for the downfall of the Israelite.
The lack of goodwill of John the Baptist towards JESUS was why he later doubted and questioned the office of JESUS CHRIST as the MESSIAH and MESSENGER of The Covenant. No doubt like all those (including the Jewish religious authorities and experts) no one in those days understood the concept of dualism of Types and Actual, and those who believe in JESUS CHRIST all thought that HE was then at the time going to restore the Kingdom.
In all the cases just mentioned, none of the subjects bore ill will either, but that ultimately translated into ill will in the end. The list in the Scriptures is very long of cases where not having ill will but also not having goodwill, translating (i.e. found expressions) as ill will in the end.
And today, witnessed among the Elect of GOD in all their so called churches of gods, the lack of good will towards one another (and especially towards GOD, let alone that they actually love GOD, which they all so brazenly in pompous self deceptions have been proclaiming, all these brazen liars) was the reason why GOD spewed them all out (Revelation 3:16), as their behavior and conduct from that time to this very day, absolutely prove this beyond any plausible doubt.
If we were to examine the writings of the New Covenant writers and all those of the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives among GOD's Elect today as well as during the time from the Thyatira period, we would find the same hallmark of many to most of these doing the same, as they implicitly holding themselves as Be-all-end-all spoke arrogantly about things they totally have no clue whatsoever for no other reason than so they can show off just how supremely enlightened, intelligent (or wise), knowledgeable and spiritual they are. Exactly as the Apostle Paul had done in all of his Epistles.
Every single one of them not hesitating (thereby exposing their lack of goodwill finding expression as ill will) to trample down on (i.e. to diminish andor to invalidate it from significantly to totally) the testimonies of the Scripture of Truth, the Holy Words or the Holy name, of GOD ALMIGHTY.
When we behave and conduct (reflected most commonly in all that we communicate) ourselves with little or no regards to (i.e. in careless recklessness as an expression of lacking goodwill translating effectively as ill will) the truth recorded in the Scriptures, the Holy Communiqué of GOD to us and all mankind, it is definitive either that we hold ourselves as the supreme Be-all-end-all (in our own self perceptions and minds, whether explicitly or implicitly), or that we are seeking to deceive others so that (i.e. to the ends that) we can parasite on and feed off them (either directly or indirectly from getting them to serve all that we require from them).
In the discussion series, ‘Readers' Question Why Do Innocents Suffer If GOD Is Just’ of the blog ‘The Holy Bible Expounded’, I discussed that the diametrically opposite to love is not hate but lust. I further discussed how behaviors seeded from and fueled by lust is the primary and main reason for evil in the creation.
But the term ‘love’ (as in to love GOD and to love neighbors) of the Holy Christian Scriptures is not the same concept as the word ‘love’ that all of humankind define, think, hold or understand it to be, which is not to say that all humankind define, think, hold or understand as the same thing or even that they even remotely understand anything except whatever they lusted for something to be or to not be.
Similarly with the term ‘good intentions’ usage by humankind is not the ‘love, goodwill and good intentions’ which the Scriptures recorded either as 'grace' or 'love' (as in the two greatest commandments of to love GOD and to love neighbor).
Humankind do not define, think, hold or understand any of these terms as same concepts in these same terms recorded in the Scriptures. The usage of these terms in the Scriptures focuses on the commitment to never act contrary to these concepts irregardless. Whereas in humankind the focus is in on their emotional states, how they feel. So all their acts of love, goodwill and good intentions are essentially hormones driven and not thought through and decided on, commitment driven actions and expressions.
The same holds true with the Apostle Paul who equated love to an emotional platitude, a fleeting hormone and chemical based and induced emotion. This (i.e. the equating of love to just an emotion) has been the reason in the world of humankind, a person can tell you with overpowering emotions that they love you so much (or even forever) but at the same time or in the next available instance or opportunity, they will be cheating on, lying to or maligning (i.e. talking bad about) you (with or to another person).
The more detailed discussions of these (revelations on the lust and evils of the Saints of the New Covenant period exposed through all the things they proclaimed) are in other posts of this work and in the chapter ‘The Elect’ of ‘Bible 101 — The Holy Bible Expounded’ and the post 'Sinners Or Saints — Which?' in the blog 'The End of the World' by this author.
