Part 1: Questions And Answers [this post]
Part 2: Other Disclosures
This discussion series composing two posts, is mostly just random disclosures (part 1 in the form of questions and answers) by this author (from my daily musings) on topics covering The Scripture of Truth, truths on GOD and truths in the creation (or reality) particularly the realities in the human social order. Some of the disclosures have been previously discussed in this work as part of some other subject titles.
Entries will be continuously added indefinitely, whenever I think of, or remember (yes my memories is faulty at best, due to several reasons) something to add until the time when this work is no longer (being done) on Blogger.
Again, no one is required to accept any of these disclosures (as true) if they do not want to for whatever reasons. It has no relevant to me whether you agree or disagree with me, your blood is on you own head, meaning you are answerable for all of your own conducts (all that you expressed and carried out in your life and moment by moment living) and practices (i.e. your beliefs based intents, decisions and expressions).
Preamble
This post is mostly disclosures in the form of questions with yes/no answers valid at the time (that is the context to the answers) each specific entry is made. Elaborations on the answers may be given selectively, at some future time. If you (the reader) are not able to understand the answers given, as suggested readings please read the followings:
2. The Holy Bible Expounded either all the posts in that blog, the first two chapters consisting twenty-three posts (four posts of chapter one and nineteen posts of chapter two from the ‘in the works’ book, ‘Bible 101 The Holy Bible Expounded’), or if you are in such a great hurry or do not have the patience (because you have much better things to do with your life than to have any concerns and could not be bothered for your forever) then to just read the post ‘Concept, Context And Perspective’.
3. The Rainbow Covenant in this blog and in the Holy Bible Expounded.
The Rainbow Covenant was the very first Covenant, the LORD GOD made with humankind and all (not that all these can keep or break covenants but because they too were preserved in the Ark together with Noah) the land based and dependent animals living from that time to this day. Just by the fact that it was the first, make it a very important Covenant such that anyone who actually (and never all the liars, self deceiving or otherwise) believe in GOD would (or should anyway) need to know why GOD made this covenant and also why GOD would need to make covenants with things HE totally owned by the fact that HE totally created them.
But until this work highlighted, discussed and expounded on both these, not a single proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of the human social order of whatever ingenious intelligence, enlightenment and knowledge even bothered to consider them much less understood them. Fact is they were all without a single exception totally clueless, which should already tell anyone intelligent that all these proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives have been and are still from mostly to totally, just lust driven Superlatives, the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of unbridled lusts.
The Rainbow Covenant was and still is, instituted by GOD to basically allow (Genesis 9:12 – 15) the continuity (otherwise GOD would have to act every few hundred years to wipe them all out to start again with those HE reserved and preserved as was the case with Noah and all those HE preserved through Noah's Ark) of the human social order from that time to this day by allowing humankind generally to not be required (because contrary to blasphemous lies in the doctrines and teachings of all the evil so called Abrahamic religions, GOD is neither stupid nor evil) to believe in and to obey GOD (i.e. in a relationship with GOD accepting HIM as their GOD) outside of the imposed condition that they will be held accountable and subjected to a final Judgment.
The Judgment aka the White Throne Judgment is when the appropriate punishment and correction on all humankind (other than those who were part of the First Resurrection) who had ever lived as the implementation of justice for all the harm they had done to others. This will be at the end of the seven thousand years process (also the ending period for the current creation both the Spirit realm and the physical universe) that GOD had allotted to humankind to fully learn the lesson of evil by allowing them all to do evil to the measure of their power impunity (with the cause and effects constraints and restrictions of their social order and functioning limitations) through the events and situations in their individual lives.

Questions And Answers
Q: Does GOD require all of humankind to believe in HIM?
A: No, Yes and no.
No if we don't want to and chose not to because we lusted not to (Matthew 13:13 – 15). And yes if we are sincere and actually (as opposed to ego supergorging lust) intelligent (Matthew 13:16) and not, if we are from technically to totally, lust driven moronically stupid andor worst for all practical reasons completely insane.

Q: Does GOD require all of humankind to obey the Ten Commandments (as a concise summary of all HIS commandments and laws)?
A: No and yes.
The whole purpose to GOD instituting the Rainbow Covenant after HE had wiped out all the wicked of the Antediluvian Age, has been to allow humankind that followed from then, to not be in a relationship with HIM as their GOD. That is right, GOD under the Rainbow Covenant basically allows all of humankind generally to not be required to obey (and also to believe in) HIM as their GOD, albeit with a caveat (i.e. condition or term) because HE does not cease to be GOD who create them all just because HE chose not to impose HIS authority and rule over them for a period towards the ends that all the wicked will be convicted and corrected (i.e. those willing to be corrected) towards their repentance at the Judgment.
Under the Rainbow Covenant, GOD only required humankind who are not in any other specific covenant relationship with HIM through which they accept HIM as their SOVEREIGN GOD, to obey only the commandments which forbid the harming of others (Genesis 9:5 – 6).

Under the Rainbow Covenant, GOD only required humankind who are not in any other specific covenant relationship with HIM through which they accept HIM as their SOVEREIGN GOD, to obey only the commandments which forbid the harming of others (Genesis 9:5 – 6).
But GOD being truly all knowing, knows full well that humankind would not obey this requirement. To this end HE had appointed a day where HE would punished all who ever lived for their failure to abide by and obey HIS requirement that they do not harm one another in any manner, shape or form. The accounting in punishment as recompense will be at the last Judgment aka the White Throne Judgment (Revelation 20:11 – 13), for everyall failures and infractions regardless spoken (communicated) or acted and carried out.
These are the commandments which forbid harming neighbors (Exodus 20:13 – 17; Deuteronomy 5:17 – 21) summarized as the last five (commandments six to ten) of the Ten Commandments. And yes there is an exception clause as per the Rainbow Covenant when it comes to harming others and this when extracting or meting out justice (Numbers 35:19, 9 – 33).
What this means is that anyone (excluding true Christian under the New Covenant as Christians are to leave justice and vengeance totally to GOD) who has been harm in any manner by another or others, they have the rightful or lawful (from the allowance in the Rainbow Covenant) authority in GOD's view (i.e. as per The Judgment, meaning they will not be penalized as long as it is truly in the extracting and meting out justice, righteously aka fairly and equitably, without going overboard) to extract just or rightful vengeance (i.e. justice) against those who have unlawfully (again from the requirement of the Rainbow Covenant) harm them (includes all that is theirs or a part of them).
This is even when the legislative or social laws of nation (i.e. nations of the world) does not allow for (i.e. forbid it on legislated regulations or laws) them to do so with severe penalties as the consequence. Of course they could (most likely would) suffer the consequences of doing so (i.e. extracting justice by their own hand) at the hands of the laws enforcers and the legislative system of land (i.e. nations). But this is no different from suffering at the hands of the perpetrators of evil in the social order of humankind. Here a good question to ask and answer was why did during the Old Covenant period, GOD had provision for a ‘avenger of blood’ (Numbers 35:19)?
So no, for the Ten Commandments as a whole and specifically the first five (Exodus 20:1 – 12; Deuteronomy 5:2 – 16).
And yes (absolutely) for the last five commandments which forbid harming any other member of humankind in any manner at all with one exception. This is because GOD is neither evil nor stupid, contrary to both the explicit and implicit assertions and proclamations of all the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of the human social order (regardless whatever they proclaimed themselves to be of religion, science andor whatever else they lusted to be of) as the allowed actions (i.e. in carrying out justice, because GOD is just) for all humankind even when they are not in any covenant where they accept GOD as their GOD, to allow them to be able to mete out justice and to check or stop the spread of evil in the human social order.

Q: Does GOD want all humankind to believe in (and consequently, also obey; because it is meaningless to believe but not obey) HIM?
A: Yes and no.
Yes ultimately, because GOD created humankind to have (i.e. for the purpose and towards the ends of) a family relationship with HIM not only as their GOD (i.e. SOVEREIGN OWNER, HE being our CREATOR) but as our FATHER as the absolute or archetype or Actual of which the physical genetic fathering of offspring has been just the symbolic (not the actual but pertaining to a pointer or a model to convey the knowledge concept) type.
But being not stupid, contrary to the blasphemous doctrines taught by the three main (two of which having a subscribing discipleship of over three and a half billion less around a third being children too young to fully understand themselves, as of this writing in 2019 C.E.) so called Abrahamic religions, GOD totally knew what HE was doing when HE created the heavens and the earth and populated them with HIS creature personages, so no.
This is because there will be some fully knowing GOD created them and all things, would still refuse to obey GOD. Anyone who actually understand the concept of the term ‘to believe in’ (which in the human social has been twisted and corrupted to not mean what it means through their semantics to make it means how one feels about something andor what one lusted for something to be) would (or should anyway) know that you can obey without believing but you can't, in an absolute sense, believe without obeying because that would be a contradiction of the term, the meaning of the word 'believe'.
And even among some who both believe in and also ‘wants to’ obey (because they fear the consequences of not doing so) GOD but because they refuse to rein in and check their lusts after all manner of thing, they just cannot obey GOD being unable to completely trust HIM. So for these (many at least in this first lifetime but for some also in The Judgment), the answer to the question posed is 'no'. Some examples of such are Balaam the Prophet (Numbers 22:8 – 34), King Saul (1 Samuel 15:1 – 10) and those who totally love money and wealth (Matthew 19:16 – 22) of which Balaam was the iconic example.
GOD knows that unless we check our lusting after all manner of things, we can never believe (i.e. completely trust) HIM, so never mind obey HIM.

GOD because HE is not stupid (unlike all the massively moronic proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives and all their even more massively moronic zombied minions OooohAhlers, does not want any of these in HIS FAMILY. Not unless and until they totally, absolutely and completely turn from their lusts seeded, fueled and driven focus in their expression of life.
And because of these lust and trust issues, GOD had instituted the Rainbow Covenant by which HE had allowed humankind because of their lust and evils in every imaginations of their hearts (and minds), to become just like all the instinct, needs and wants driven animals, towards the ends that all will be convicted for the appointed Judgment when they will be corrected.
Therefore towards this end of convicting all (Galatians 3:22) during the period of the Rainbow Covenant, GOD neither wants nor requires humankind not called into an additional covenant to accept HIM as their GOD (i.e. SOVEREIGN OWNER and MASTER) to believe in HIM.
One cannot actually (as opposed to deceitfully pretend to) obey what one does not believe in, even as one can be forced to obey but obedience under threat and duress is not willing but forced obedience which only lasted within the period the perceived threat remained in focus andor insight. So from this context and also according to GOD instituted process in the Rainbow Covenant, also no.

Q: Are the Scriptural (Genesis 7:2, 8) instructions regarding clean and unclean food (particularly, meats of animals) the health law of GOD?
A: No (regarding meats), but for others, yes but not in all cases (Leviticus 13:59, 14:57). The laws regarding clean and unclean animals is another test law exactly as the Sabbath is firstly a test law, and secondly a key to understanding the process GOD had ordained for humankind to learn and know HIS purpose for creating us, and ultimately all of creation.
So, no all those not called into any other covenants (other than the Rainbow Covenant which everyone from Noah onwards are under) with GOD can marry whoever, whichever and whatever they want as long as in doing so they do not harm anyone or cause anyone to come to come.
Q: Are homosexual and all other non heterosexual marriages sins (i.e. from the context of breaking the law of GOD)?
A: No and Yes. But let it be clear any sexual relationship even if platonic, outside of or other than, the male with female partner(s) being married to one another is sin. But animals are animals (which includes all humans who rather be animals) GOD's requirement do not cover animals as long as they are really animals because they do not have a forever future in the permanent Spirit (as opposed to the current temporary physical pertaining to organic and inorganic materials) existence that is without an ending of life in death.
Q: Is polygamy (a man having more than one wife) a sin?
A: No and yes. Conceptually polygamy (of a man having more than one wife, but not the other way around of a woman having more than one husband) is not a sin but don't go into total deliberated stupidity so as to be able to deceive yourself, lust is totally and absolutely (no buts about it aka no exceptions absolutely) a sin.
So having (i.e. marrying or taking) so many wives to make the marriage covenant purely just that of having sex (as opposed as a Holy loving, caring and nurturing relationship ordained by GOD) with as many as you lusted to and is able to, is pure, unadulterated and extreme gluttonous lusts. It is a very clearly and explicitly evil (i.e. sin) to abuse, corrupt and defile the GOD instituted, ordained and sanctified Holy covenant of marriage.
■ Updated 2021 11 28
Q: Is under age (below 20 years of age) marriage a sin?
A: No, Yes and Yes. The GOD ordained institution of marriage of a man marrying (any unmarried) women is a covenant between the man and the woman (includes women, yes polygamy of a man having more than one wife is not a sin in the absolute sense though it can be a sin from a contextual perspective) so only adults can legally (from the point the laws and commandments of GOD) marry.
However animals (aka beasts or animal life) which includes all humans too, all those which have not entered into a Covenant to accept GOD as their GOD, not having a covenanted relationship with GOD to recognize and accept HIM as the CREATOR and OWNER of all, can basically do as they like subject to the conditions and requirements (Genesis 9:4 – 5) GOD imposed under the Rainbow Covenant for humankind to be able to continue their lives and lineage without being totally destroy by GOD because of their wickedness in every imagination of their hearts (i.e. mind and thinking) continually.
The Rainbow Covenant is the covenant which GOD ordained (i.e. to apply to, to cover or to oversee as per the regulations or regulatory) for the current period of the Age of Man to allow for humans (made in the image and likeness of GOD) to be just like all the dumb (as not having the cognitive sense to recognized GOD as their CREATOR and OWNER,, to be able to have a conceptualized understanding of GOD as the CREATOR of all things) animals of planet earth.
By this Rainbow Covenant, GOD allowed (but with conditions) for all humankind (except those HE called into a separate additional Covenant with HIM) to live (have their existence as living biological animals) on the planet. Under the Rainbow Covenant GOD only required that humankind because HE created them in HIS image and likeness for HIS special purpose for them (outside of or except for, not to harm one another and especially not to harm HIS Elect. For falling to honor and obey these requirements forbidding causing harm to one another and the people of GOD by Covenant, GOD has appointed a day of reckoning to judge then punish them (Genesis 9:5) according to the degree and extend they had broken these requirements.
Other than these main requirements of not to harm or cause harm (i.e. anyall form of abuses and exploitations with includes all manipulations and coercions) one another and especially HIS Elect (including the effects of any of their actions that can result in such harms) with just one caveat. And this caveat is in the meting out justice (Genesis 9:6), as the process to carry out or to execute justice.
Under the Rainbow Covenant all humankind (with the exception being those who have entered into a Covenant to accept GOD as GOD) are basically allowed to behave just like all the other animals of planet earth, so basically they can "marry" anyone or anything they want. But these do not include forced marriages including parents or guardians marrying off (i.e. forcing or compelling) their children without their uncoerced and unmanipulated consent.
Marrying off children (below the age of twelve or those with brain or mental impairment) who cannot cognitively consent are also forced marriages. To consent requires the person consenting to be capable of being (has the mental capacity irrespective of whether they chose to or chose not to be) cognizant of the requirements and situations they are consenting to.
Manipulation (which may includes all elements of coercion) is a form of deception while coercion is about a threat (whether implicit or explicit) to force compliant. Both are forms of abuse and constitutes causing harm.

Q: Are humankind allowed to kill (and in anyway harm) other humans?
A: No and yes. During the Antediluvian period GOD did not permit humankind to kill other humans for two main reasons. The first is because HE created them in HIS image and likeness to be HIS Family (Genesis 1:27 ; 9:5 – 6). The second reason was to show (and proof) that if evil (all those who do evil) is not eradicated from the ranks of humankind, all of humankind will swiftly turn to evil and become evil (Genesis 6:5).
Beginning with the New Covenant, Christians (only all those called in the Everlasting Covenant made in the BLOOD of the LAMB of GOD by the GOD ordained process) as the Elect of GOD (just as all during the Antediluvian Age were) are not allowed to act (as an intent) to kill another human being, regardless the reason.
But all the rest of humankind (as also during the period of the ancient United and Divided Kingdoms of Israel and Judah) are allowed to do so in and as, the process of meting out justice to the check the spread of evil in their society so that the social order of humankind do not implode in an orgy of evil and violence, as indeed is beginning to happen in many of the more developed “supremely supreme” and more merciful than GOD nations of this planet.

Q: Was JESUS CHRIST (during HIS life as a SON of man) a Jew?
A: Yes and No. Through the lineage and genealogy of humankind, yes JESUS was born to a Jewish woman under the family (not racial) lineage of King David. But HIS FATHER is not a Jew but GOD, so no from the reckoning of FAMILY lineage through the father. GOD is not a Jew (i.e. of the family/tribe of Judah and includes the tribes of Benjamin and Levi) but the GOD (and ultimately, the FATHER) of all (who would repent to enter the New Covenant with HIM and LORD JESUS) absolutely. So then just as JESUS was from the lineage of the FATHER of the Family of GOD so also all those who are true Christian by the Everlasting Covenant, all are Children under the lineage of GOD.
So yes, from the physical biological and genetic lineage, JESUS was a Jew.

Q: Can just about any adult (all those twenty years and older) human become a Christian?
A: No (Matthew 19:16 – 23; Luke 14:26; Matthew 7:21, 10:37, 18:3) and yes (John 6:37, 14:6; Matthew 11:28 – 29, 16:24). Anyone who is twenty years old and other can become a Christian on condition that they are called by GOD, then in true repentance baptized by those who GOD had ordained after which they had 'hands laid on them' to receive the HOLY SPIRIT. For the ordained process to become a Christian please read the sub title 'Christianity Know The Basics' in the blog, 'The Holy Bible Expounded' by this author.
Other than this ordained process, all 'no'.

Q: Can a non adult (all those below twenty years old) human become a Christian?
A: No and yes. Generally no, the exceptions are those few GOD would called towards an ordained office such as a Prophet whom GOD usually prepared for the role from their birth (and even before that). In the case of John the Baptist from soon after his conception but even his parents were prepared to be in the situations they were in to conceive him.
Q: Are Christians (all those who have entered into the Passover New Covenant mediated by JESUS CHRIST) required by GOD to obey the laws and other regulations of the nations of the human social order?

Q: Is the government of GOD a theocracy?
A: No absolutely, never was, never has been and never will be.
The proclaimed lie that the government of GOD is a theocracy was invented by evil men (includes women) and evil religions lusting to rule supreme over all others to the ends that they, the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives, can rule unquestioned as gods in order to feed and parasite on all those stupid enough to worship them as absolute gods (i.e. unquestioningly obey and serve them) and over all the rest they are able to wield their derived power over (power derived from all the massive morons who worship them as the effective absolute gods).
Theocracy dating back to after the time of Nimrod when a religious order was established by and under the ancient god kings to secure their hold on power as they focused on military excursions and subjugating their neighbors. Over time in many ancient kingdoms having weak kings, these religious order inevitably gain more power over the people and began to become the defacto rulers of their nations (or tribes) ruling even over the political and military leadership. This was exactly what happened soon after the Great Harlot Church (Revelation 17:5) of the Christmas religion was established in/by the Nicene Creed in the Council of Nicaea on the authority (i.e. presided over) of the then still pagan Emperor of Rome, Constantine.
Theocracy then exactly defined is of man usurping the name of a deity proclaimed as the Deity to rule over their peers in the place of this deity. It was one of the earliest expression of name dropping and identity thieving.
The modern concept of theocracy basically has the priesthood as the ruling class over all humankind and the political rulers of which we still witness in quite a few countries to this day (in 2019 C.E.). GOD did not establish a ruling class over the Elect until they wanted and asked for a king to rule over them (1 Samuel 8:4 – 20). Which makes this basically their choice and desire, and not something from (i.e. established or intended by) GOD.
Under the Old Covenant, the priesthood was established to receive and to present the tithes and offerings of the people to GOD. Aaron was the first official high priest of the Old Covenant under Moses whose main office as GOD's servant was that of Messenger of the Old Covenant (in the same way as JESUS CHRIST is the MESSENGER of the New Covenant) and was also a Prophet of GOD (all Prophets also has the office and duties of Messengers). Additionally Moses also has the office and role of a Judge to sit in judgement over disputes among the Israelite, and as a (chief) Scribe as the instituted recorder (and also interpreter) of the first five books of the Christian Holy Scriptures commonly called ‘The Pentateuch’.
The office of pastor or shepherd is the New Covenant equivalent to the Old Covenant office of priest and scribe. whose job during the Old Covenant period was to record, maintain, read and explain (i.e. accurately interpret) the Scripture (records).
Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to His disciples, saying: “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do. For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. But all their works they do to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the borders of their garments. They love the best places at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues, greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called by men, ‘Rabbi, Rabbi.’ But you, do not be called ‘Rabbi’; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren. Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ. But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.

For the discussion of this question please read the (pending anytime from months to years, and on wards) discussion titled: ‘What Is The System Of Government Of GOD’?
For those who are the followers or regulars readers of this work (and also any reader who are actually intelligent), from somewhat to sufficiently, here are some hints (questions to ask and answer) on what is GOD's governing system.
Why does the Spirit realm or dominion, has an Angelic council with oversight (under GOD) over the creation? Why didn't GOD establish HIS government hierarchy among humankind during the Antediluvian Age? Why did GOD exterminate most of the Antediluvian Age even innocent babies and young children?
After the ancient Israelite entered into the Promised Land, why didn't GOD set up a hierarchical governing system? During the period of Judges, why did GOD not establish a system for the continuity of the Judges with replacement appointments (i.e. anointing a replacement when each Judge died)? Why did GOD not establish a Judges replacement system to replace a Judge after he died, during the period of Judges in ancient Israel? Why didn't GOD have one of Moses' sons (i.e. the elder) succeed him to lead the Israelite into the Promised Land? Why would GOD gave the Israelite a king when they asked for one just because they ask for one?

When the LORD JESUS returned to the Third Heaven why didn't HE establish a pastoral hierarchical governing system for continuity? When JESUS handpicked HIS twelve Apostles with Peter as chief why did HE not also appoint a deputy or successor to Peter, and why were the twelve called Apostles and not heads, chief pastors, chief priests, chief ministers, chief Angels or chief Messengers (i.e. Greek ‘aggelos [G32]’) or chief whatever of the Church of GOD or even Pastor (aka shepherd/teachers) General?
Why didn't GOD establish a system of Church leadership for the unbroken continuity of Church from the Apostolic Age to the Second Coming? GOD continually and consistently raised up Prophets to correct the Elect when they became unfaithful, why not always raised up only faithful high priests for each and every generation instead? Etcetera.
Crucial question: Why didn't even a single one among all the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives among the Elect, ever asked these questions let alone faithfully and correctly (i.e. rightly) answered them? Was it because they were all too stupid or too lust driven (i.e. evil), or both?

Q: Does GOD (and should Christian) recognized the sovereignty, government, laws and legislation of the nations of the world, and thus are Christian required (by GOD) to obey the laws (including tax laws) of nations?
A: No (John 15:19, 17:14; 1 John 2:15), yes (Genesis 9:5 last sentence of the verse ; Matthew 5:39) and yes (Matthew 22:17 – 21).
Very simply and absolutely no, because in all the nations of the world the political, religious, academic, social and economic systems (in fact everyall of the world's structured and unstructured system) are based on their belief systems (both religious and non religious) seeded in Nimrod's rebellion. Nimrod's rebellion was a rebellion for two reasons, he plagiarized and usurped the name of GOD to proclaim himself as God King (Genesis 10:9). He did not just start the first human kingdom, he (includes his wife) also started the first human religion (of which all the religions of the world has their seed and also root in) in order to wield religious (proclaimed as authority (Genesis 6:2, 4:26, 24) of GOD) ruling authority over his fellow humankind.
Yes to the laws that establish and mete out true justice, and those against harming others (as per the five commandments forbidding the harming of others). And yes because Christians are being coerced and forced to, under threats, and are instructed not to resist those who are evil (Matthew 5:38 – 42, 10:16).
Yes to taxes (and fees) within the context (as payment) of those which are for facilities and infrastructures, because we make use of them.

Q. In John 3:16 it says (i.e. was recorded) that 'For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.' And in John 6:47 JESUS said, 'Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life.' Also many other verses similarly such as John 11:25 – 26. Do not all these verses says exactly that all we have to do is we just believe in JESUS (i.e. that HE is the SON of GOD), that is all that is needed to have everlasting life (i.e. be saved)?
A. Yes and NO.
Q: Do we actually have any control over our lives or is it all predestined and fated (by GOD's will/control, fate or Chaos' theory of "in the absolute sense there are no random events, every new occurrence and event is caused by the cumulative net results of earlier series of occurrences and events which in turn by those earlier right up to the very first event in the universe")
A: Within the ordained process we all have some measure of control outside of those which have been appointed (i.e. by GOD's will) (Ecclesiastes 9:11).
The degree or amount of control we have over ourselves (i.e. our lives' focus and direction) but not our lives (which we actually have very little control over in the absolute or total sense, but this belongs in another discussion; any control that we seemingly have depends entirely on the powers that be and the ordained process of the creation) depends on whether we choose to be intelligent and also to act with intelligence, otherwise we are mostly to near entirely just the product of events set in motion, plus also by manipulation from the over riding control and agenda of Satan the Devil (1 John 5:19; Luke 4:6; Ephesians 6:12)
The creation (both realms) was first and foremost, created by an act of GOD billions of earth's years ago, then continued as per the ordained process (a progression based on the meta mechanics or mechanism of all that were created in the first two creations) and are without GOD's (direct or indirect) intervention. But selected events and occurrences are intervention acts of GOD which HE had predetermined (i.e. appointed) then acted on to ensure that HIS purpose shall stand (Isaiah 14:24; Romans 9:11) shall remain to be accomplished, carried out or implemented.
So yes there is predestination but it is not absolute and total but selected with additional and further progressing vagaries (again determined by choosing and acting intelligently of the subjects) as per the mechanism of general ordained process within those which have been appointed.

A. Yes and NO.
Yes, we absolutely need to believe in JESUS that HE is the SON of GOD who died to redeem us. And to believe in JESUS means we have to believe everything that HE taught and commanded. If we don't believe in all the things HE taught but just believe whatever we lusted to believe (including selectively select from what HE taught while disregarding all the rest), it makes the word 'believe' into something that it does not mean. And if we actually believe everything HE taught and commanded we will definitely do all of them aka 'live our lives founded on and framed by everything that HE taught, every word of HIS' aka 'live by every Word that proceeded from HIS mouth' (Deuteronomy 8:3; Matthew 4:4; Luke 4:4).
Today especially (not that it was not the same in the past) the word 'believe' used by all who say they 'believe in' this or that, it do not mean they actually believe anything at all but just how they feel about something or how they want something to be. It has nothing to do with believing in and believing someone but just about an emotional (lust driven) connection to things and ideas. So, NO.

Q: Is the love of GOD unconditional?
A: NO, absolutely not.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
John 3:16 (Please note that the verse said GOD so loved the world and not GOD unconditionally so loved the world)
One of the most common doctrines of so called Christianity purportedly based on the Scriptures verse John 3:16, has been that of the unconditional love of GOD.
And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Revelation 17:5
Even many of the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of GOD especially of the last two eras (because not that much doctrinal materials from the four eras before are available today except those from that woman Jezebel) bought this evil lie of Satan the Devil proclaimed by the Christmas religion (particularly those of the daughter harlots) specifically designed to mock GOD's righteousness, love, grace and mercy to have it as something that doesn't makes sense as only a mushy emotional expression that is devoid of intelligence which invalidate and nullify the Commandments and laws of GOD as being the foundation (Matthew 22:37 – 39; Deuteronomy 6:5, 10:12, 11:13, 13:3, 30:6; Joshua 22:5) and the guiding framework (Exodus 20:2 – 17; Deuteronomy 5:6 – 21; Matthew 19:17 – 19) of relationship.
While he (the Messenger of the Philadelphia era) did not explicitly proclaimed this doctrine, he implicitly did, he proclaimed that GOD loves all including Satan the Devil and all the wicked and GOD acting to destroy them all in the Lake of Fire was acting out of love (i.e. implicitly, because of HIS unconditional love) for them and so don't want them to be in torment because of being evil (i.e. apparently, being evil) equals being in torment. And if being evil means being in torment then why are billions of personages doing evil and thus being totally and absolutely evil, is it because they love unconditionally to be in torment and in anguish totally? And if they totally loved it and GOD being love and loves unconditionally shouldn't HE allow them to do what they totally love and enjoy?
How it is possible for seemingly intelligent people to be proclaiming such massively stupid things to then in totally and absolute clueless strutting around as if they have proclaimed the most amazing brilliantly, ingeniously supremely intelligent thing?
This is as good and example as any there is (of course no one can beat or be better than the ego supergorging Apostle Paul the definitive of (i.e. the mother of) all 'spin doctors' in his explicitly contradictory supreme Gospel of grace and ethereal love (of Romans 6 verse 14 — not under law but grace and Romans 13 verses 8 to 10 — love is the fulfillment the law) that do away with the need to keep and obey the laws and Commandments of GOD) of twists and spins. equating destruction to love. Now all the serial murders and mass murderers can proclaimed their unconditional love for all they murdered that they loved their victims so unconditionally that they are sending directly straight to 'heaven'.
Now the second administration of the Church of GOD in Laodicea (Revelation 3:17) explicitly taught (i.e. proclaimed) that the love of GOD is unconditional.
All these are so full of themselves that they have all become so massively stupid that they have absolutely clue what conditional, and a condition is, and what unconditional and without condition is.
So if (according to lust seeded, fueled and driven proclamations of all these proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of Gods) GOD is love (1 John 4:8, 16) and GOD loves unconditionally, would that mean that GOD loves (and not hate) evil unconditionally and if GOD loves evil (unconditionally) how then is GOD still just andor righteous, let alone Holy? Righteousness and wickedness (i.e. evils in intents and intents driven actions) are opposing concepts, just as love and hate are opposing concepts. As expressions in reality these are cancelling, invalidating and nullifying concepts.
If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.
John 15:10
What does it mean, if you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love'? Does it not mean that if we do not keep JESUS CHRIST's commandments we will not abide in HIS love? Isn't that a condition, 'if not then' what the heck is that, 'if you... you will...'? Does it not mean that if you don't, you won't? A requirement is a conditional is it not?
And what does it mean, 'just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love'? Does it not mean that if JESUS do not keep HIS FATHER's commandment, HE won't abide in HIS FATHER's love?' Is that not a condition, of something required before something can be effected?
Why has such simple things that any high school student can understand become incomprehensible to intelligent college educated adults? Lust, ego gorging lust and self advancing lust, that is why!!!
And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
1 John 4:16 (also in 1 John 4:8)
1 John 4:16 (also in 1 John 4:8)
Just because GOD is love it does not confine (i.e. restrict) GOD to become unable to be absolutely intelligent (i.e. all knowing). Love (of GOD not those proclaimed by all of humankind which are essentially and totally just lust) do not make us stupid, it is lust that makes us stupid. And all these proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of GOD and of whatever else, all have totally and completely become so massively stupid because they are not (of or acting out of) love but are (i.e. acting out) of lust, and not just lust absolutely but lust uncontrollably.
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
Genesis 1:26 – 28
GOD is not an ad hoc reactionary without forethought inconsistent unstable always changing (i.e. changing HIS mind, thinking, behavior and HIS requirements, commandments, laws, ordinances, charges and institutions) GOD, contrary to evil blasphemous lies of all the so called Abrahamic religions.
Remember the former things of old,
For I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like Me,
Declaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things that are not yet done,
Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand,
And I will do all My pleasure,’
Isaiah 46:9 – 10
The Lord of hosts has sworn, saying,
“Surely, as I have thought, so it shall come to pass,
And as I have purposed, so it shall stand:
Isaiah 14:24
GOD create humankind for a purpose, HIS purpose for us, and the purpose is for all us (but only all who sincerely wants to, which comes with conditions the very first of which is we must want to) to eventually be born as HIS HOLY SPIRIT begotten FAMILY. JESUS CHRIST was born as a SON of man to highlight this purpose of GOD for all humankind. That was it was meant when the Scriptures recorded that GOD so loved the world (i.e. humankind) because of HIS purpose for them, not that GOD loves unconditionally or love anything or anyone unconditionally.
GOD create (includes created) because HE loves to not because HE hates to. GOD create out of love not out of hate.
GOD did not create humankind so that HE can torture the greater majority of them in a horrific, sadistic, brutally salvage tortures forever contrary to the lies of the evil blasphemous so called Abrahamic religions.

Q: Is the Covid-19 outbreak in Wuhan, China (at the end of 2019 C.E.) and the current (2020 C.E.) global pandemic a punishment from GOD?
A: No and yes.
No. Firstly GOD do not directly intervene in the events of the human social order without first giving a warning to all those HE intents to punish, sent through HIS servants HIS Prophets.
Surely the Lord God does nothing,
Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.
Amos 2:7
During the Antediluvian Age before GOD sent the flood to wipe out that evil generation, HE first sent warnings through HIS servant Enoch, the seventh from Adam, to directly warn them. Of course they tried to murder Enoch but GOD took him so he did not had to go through the pains of being murdered. But with John the Baptist and of course JESUS CHRIST, they did the same.
Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”
After the Antediluvian Age (which was when humankind all were still the Elect of GOD, from the intent and purpose of creation) the typical pattern of direct punishment (on heathens or pagans) from GOD takes the form of a series of plagues. This was done so that they would (or should anyway) recognized that these are supernatural aka paranormal events and not disaster or calamity resulting from natural physical forces of the universe or evolution forces of planet earth; that these plagues come from the hand of GOD. The series of plagues are towards the ends (for the purpose) to show and prove them unrepentant (of their wickedness) before they would be finally destroyed.
Jude 1:14 – 15
Before the destruction of the vassal nation of the Jews by the Romans, both John the Baptist and JESUS CHRIST warned them of their impending destruction.
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Matthew 3:7 (also Luke 3:7)
From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
Matthew 4:17
And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.”
Luke 13:2 – 5
Now in the morning, as He returned to the city, He was hungry. And seeing a fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it but leaves, and said to it, “Let no fruit grow on you ever again.” Immediately the fig tree withered away.
Now in the morning, as He returned to the city, He was hungry. And seeing a fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it but leaves, and said to it, “Let no fruit grow on you ever again.” Immediately the fig tree withered away.
Matthew 21:18 – 19 (Note: The messages of the Scriptures were very often conveyed using analogy, allegory and symbolism. In this passage in an allegorical account, the fig tree symbolized the Jewish vassal nation and their failure to bear the fruits of repentance towards GOD to return to GOD from their idolatry practices and worship where they substituted their own invented traditional practices to replaced the worship commanded by GOD, despite the testimony of both John the Baptist and the MESSIAH and MESSENGER of the New Covenant).
Of course in all these mentioned cases, the warning sent by GOD through HIS Prophets went to HIS Elect, those who still have a relationship with HIM as their GOD and they HIS people either by purpose (applies to all those of the Antediluvian Age) or by Covenants (applies to those who had entered into any covenant with GOD accepting HIM as their GOD).
With the rest of humankind, GOD generally do not directly warn them (though HE may still do so indirectly through directly warning HIS Elect through HIS servants, HIS Prophets). But then neither does HE act directly to punish them except when they have some sort of adverse dealings with HIS Elect.
But this does not mean that GOD do not steer, the course of human affairs, though these are usually and mostly through HIS instituted and ordained ruling council of Angels from Heaven as oversight and Satan the Devil and his Angels on earth, more directly.
GOD does not abdicate HIS authority as GOD who rules over all HIS creation, but HE does have instituted and ordained processes for things either to be 'naturally' (as per cause and effect) worked out towards HIS purpose, or more directly from an additional oversight through the councils of Angels in the Third Heaven and on earth, Satan the Devil and a group of Angels (i.e. the Angels placed under Satan the Devil by GOD).
A good example of such in effect was Sodom and Gomorrah.
As the cities were filled with wickedness and depravity, their fate was determined by the Watchers (i.e. the council of Angels who has oversight over the earth) and were carried off in defeat.
But because Lot (a cousin of Abraham) and his family (by choice of lust) lived there they too were carried off as slaves as war booty. But Abraham with his servants pursued after the victors to free his cousin Lot and his family.
Freed too were the people of these twin cities to continue their wickedness and depravity which lead to GOD directly intervening to destroy the twin cities (to check the spread of evil in the human social order, as the appointed time for the End was still far into the future) after urging Lot to escape from there with his family.
While the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah could categorically be state to be punishment from GOD, looking at it from the context of a parallel with the destruction of the Antediluvian Age.
However there is a crucial difference between the Antediluvian Age and Sodom and Gomorrah. The Antediluvian Age were the Elect of GOD by creation, whereas Sodom and Gomorrah were not as from the time of the Rainbow Covenant, GOD had cut off humankind from being HIS Elect.
The Rainbow Covenant is the ordained instrument to allow humankind to not have a relationship with GOD so that GOD do not have to act continually to wipe them out when they prove themselves to be evil and unfaithful to HIM in HIS requirement that they be righteous (Isiah 60:21; Ezekiel 18:24; Revelation 22:11) and Holy (Leviticus 11:44, 45; 19:2; 20:26; 21:6; Romans 12:1; 2 Peter 3:11; Revelation 22:11).
But that GOD first had them carried of as slaves is definitive that punishment was not the reason. For this we can look at a true parallel incident when GOD move (directly) to confuse the language of all the people during the building of the Tower of Babel.
Both these were done to slow the pace of the growth of evil in the human social order (until the appointed time for punishment to come from GOD on all the wicked at the End of the Age) rather than punishment from GOD.
These examples show the pattern and mechanism through which GOD act to keep evil in check while evil to continue its ravages on humankind so the the proofs to convict all those who chose to hold themselves supreme (evident in all that they communicated and acted out, and how they conduct themselves) and pursue all that they lusted after uncontrollably will be written in the horrendous suffering and destruction that results.
After the Antediluvian Age (which was when humankind all were still the Elect of GOD, from the intent and purpose of creation) the typical pattern of direct punishment (on heathens or pagans) from GOD takes the form of a series of plagues. This was done so that they would (or should anyway) recognized that these are supernatural aka paranormal events and not disaster or calamity resulting from natural physical forces of the universe or evolution forces of planet earth; that these plagues come from the hand of GOD. The series of plagues are towards the ends (for the purpose) to show and prove them unrepentant (of their wickedness) before they would be finally destroyed.
Human beings as also true with many (as the Scriptures revealed, if not all) of the Spirit creature personages, we all are basically predators and parasites once the right conditions are available and power impunity can be wielded. We are all consumers, we all get the energy we need to function and the building blocks of our growth (including bodily replacement and repairs) through consuming others.
So naturally (as an expected development) all human organization whether economic, social, educational, religious or political are from the context of law and regulatory towards the conducive good for all, are criminals in nature at best and explicitly parasitic and predatory at worst.
......
Yes.
“But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.

If anyone has actually sincerely (as opposed in self advancing lusts of all sorts) kept their eyes (i.e. their focus) on GOD, they would (or should anyway) perceive and understand that the SARS-CoV-2 disease outbreak in Wuhan China and now a worldwide pandemic, is basically an exposing and revelation of uncontrolled and unmitigated lust of all sorts in the social order of humankind, from the average Joe (aka man, woman and whatnot) on the streets, to the leaders and rulers of nations and the social human order, the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of science particularly medical science and especially those in disease control, and all the rest of who are the shifters, shakers, movers and makers of the human social order.
In the blog 'Living By Every Word' I wrote about the functioning insanity of humankind which I have termed as 'functional insanity'. Well today, we are witnessing (effectively not literally) the whole world exhibiting the resulting expression of this functional insanity and the consequences in a not just a global disease pandemic claiming hundreds of thousands of lives and still counting but economic meltdown and worldwide social financial distress.
Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
Revelation 3:10
As I have written throughout this work, we are leaving in the very last moments leading into approaching Tribulation that will usher in the Second Advent in the Day of the LORD. Beginning from sometime around the 1990's, GOD has begun to loosen HIS check of the spread of evil in the human social order, allowing according to the appointed time () for the evil to begin to spiral upwards in the world.
Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.
Revelation 3:10 – 12
The administration of the first Messenger to the Church of GOD in Philadelphia ended (upon his death) with this message from GOD 'Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.' (Revelation 3:10), to first the Elect (beginning from the second administration who succeeded to the very time when JESUS will return (Revelation 3:11, first sentence), then the whole world ('to test (all) those who dwell on the earth').
And as expected all the Elect (with the appointed exceptions) failed test, but the test in the hour of trial is not just on the Elect but is without exception on everyone, the test was not just on the Elect but on all 'who dwell on the earth'.
But the test is not over, not for a good while still, so even nearly all the Elect have failed to 'hold fast' can still succeed. Because the 'hour of trial' for the Elect does not end until the Tribulation commences, there is still time to succeed but this requires the repentance that is commanded (Revelation 3:19 – 20) and which this work is doing in the post 'Honoring And Keeping The New Covenant'.
Now I hope all the Elect reading this (as well as those who are not but are sincerely seeking GOD), will not say to themselves 'let's wait until we see clear signs of the Tribulation approaching before taking any action'.
Now the just shall live by faith;
But if anyone draws back,
My soul has no pleasure in him.
Hebrews 10:38
again He designates a certain day, saying in David, “Today,” after such a long time, as it has been said: “Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts.”
Hebrews 4:7
Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, In the day of trial in the wilderness
Hebrews 3:8
...............
So Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who asked him for a king. And he said, “This will be the behavior of the king who will reign over you: He will take your sons and appoint them for his own chariots and to be his horsemen, and some will run before his chariots. He will appoint captains over his thousands and captains over his fifties, will set some to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and some to make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. He will take your daughters to be perfumers, cooks, and bakers. And he will take the best of your fields, your vineyards, and your olive groves, and give them to his servants. He will take a tenth of your grain and your vintage, and give it to his officers and servants. And he will take your male servants, your female servants, your finest young men, and your donkeys, and put them to his work. He will take a tenth of your sheep. And you will be his servants. And you will cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, and the Lord will not hear you in that day.”

Q: Can a Christian, any Christian (from a lay member of the Elect to the greatest Prophet or Apostle), forgive sins?
A: No, and yes.
No, only GOD (includes LORD JESUS) the CREATOR of all, can forgive sins because all sins are sins against GOD's commandments, laws, statutes, ordinances and charges, the breaking aka not honoring and obeying, the requirements of GOD and the Holy Covenants (applicable to the Elect of GOD from the Rainbow Covenant) we have entered into with GOD.
Yes, we can forgive others their sins and trespasses (any wrong) committed against us, but only those committed against us, not those committed anyone else. But our forgiving them do not mean that they no longer need forgiveness from GOD, they still do. This is because any sin others commit against us, they also commit against GOD because we belong to GOD so when others sin against us they don't just sin against us but also against GOD (i.e. GOD's requirement as summarized in the Ten Commandments, commandments number five to ten).

Q: Is not believing in GOD a sin, is it a sin to not believe in GOD? Two of the three (now four) main Abrahamic religions, the first and third, explicitly taught that evil is not believing in GOD. The second and third explicitly taught that all those who die and had died who had/have not believed and obeyed them the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of the Gods/God#99 of their religions, will all go to hell and be tortured forever without end. This include everyone who had died before any of these three main religions existed yet as well as all the rest who had died without hearing about these three main Abrahamic religions, or had never learned anything about them.
A: no and Yes. This is a large discussion and will take some time for me to answer sufficiently.
No, under the Rainbow Covenant which GOD made with Noah and his family and consequently all of humankind from that time because we all came from them, and are the genealogical descendants of Noah through his three sons and their spouses, GOD being not stupid contrary to the evil lies in the doctrines of all the so called Abrahamic religions as well as all other religions that proclaim some powerful deity/deities who create humankind, allowed all humankind to not believe in HIM because they all out of uncontrolled lusting just refused to be faithful to HIM.
So in order not to have to repeatedly exterminate them all again and again and again as happened with the Antediluvian Age, GOD allowed humankind to become the beasts (aka genetic instincts, chemical and hormones driven animals) they all lusted to be, being left mostly to their own devices in devouring one another in brutal violence seeded, fueled and driven by their uncontrolled lusts.
Q: Is it true that GOD promised to (unconditionally) heal everyone who believe and have faith in JESUS CHRIST per 2 Peter 2 verse 24, as proclaimed by the Church of GOD of the Philadelphia era?
A: No and yes.

Q: In John 14 verses 13 to 14, JESUS explicitly said: 'And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.' Doesn't that mean that whatever we ask in JESUS CHRIST's name HE will do it (meaning HE will give us whatever we ask for)?
A: No and yes. The context of that statement (second part of verse 13 'that the Father may be glorified in the Son') is about doing things towards the witnessing and the cause of the Gospel message with CHRIST as the MESSIAH PRINCE and MESSENGER of the New Covenant, and not about asking for whatever we need or want which of course we can and should (present all our concerns, needs and wants to GOD who is the only ONE who we should look to, hope in and pray to for everyall things (subject to them be for good and not for evil).
If we pray for evil thing that we may satisfy our lust, GOD may and often times will allow the Evil One, Satan the Devil, to give us these so that we become snared to do evil that we might be convicted of our evil lust and (if we do not repent at GOD's correction) ultimately condemn us to perdition as happened with man of GOD such as Balaam the Prophet, Eli the High Priest and Saul the King. Which is not to say that these men prayed to GOD for those things they lusted after leading them to perdition but they lusted after and hoped to have them. And to hope for in order to have anything at all is implicitly a prayer to GOD for such things (as for those who believe in GOD) we all know that all things is, of and from GOD, such that only if GOD allow (which is not grant as an act of will or but as in allowing aka not preventing or stopping) for it can anything happen (Matthew 10:29).
The New Covenant records particularly made it clear that GOD (nor CHRIST) made no unconditional promises to give us everyall that we asked for (even if asked in CHRIST's name). The Apostle Paul prayed to be delivered (by GOD) on many occasions and situations but those prayers were not answered with some of the answers being explicitly a 'no'.
JESUS CHRIST the very SON of GOD even prayed that if it was possible that HE could be delivered from being delivered into the hands of the murderous Jews, then prayed that GOD's will be done instead of HIS. The main point to this (message, why CHRIST did this, as well as everything HE did and taught) is to make it both plainly and explicitly clear that all prayer requests must be based on and framed completely towards doing the will of the FATHER, not towards doing our own will (i.e. desires and wants).
■ Updated 2022 08 06Q: Was JESUS CHRIST born on the 25th of December? If not then when (on what day of the year of the Gregorian calendar) was HE born?
A: No, definitely and absolute not on 25th December.
The Scriptures did not record the specific day that JESUS CHRIST was born. This is because the date of birth of anyall of the Elect of GOD is not a focus of the Scripture records. The focus of the Scriptures is (if you think this work can be believed and never mind if you don't) is on educating to complete and perfect the currently temporary creation (i.e. the creature personages both the earthly 'dust' composed and the heavenly, the Spirit composed) towards a completed forever perfect creation (Revelation 21:1).
Also the calendar system for months and years (aka days and seasons) used in the Scriptures records is that of the Sacred Calendar (still in used by the Jews of today in Judaism to keep track of their religious festivities and celebrations centered on their pagan religion of Judaism) based on the lunar cycle not on the earth's annual journey around the sun. So December 25 as a fixed day of the solar cycle cannot have anything to do with the Christian faith and Covenant or anything at all that can have anything meaning let alone any significant to GOD in all that HE commanded, required or allow for.
But so as to expose all the lies and liars who proclaim the 25th December as the day and date of the Gregorian calendar) date, the Scriptures explicitly, plainly and clearly recorded the month (but not of the Gregorian calendar) of JESUS CHRIST's conception. And if you are not totally stupid (which I hope you are not), you would (or should anyway) know the approximate time (of within two Sacred calendar months, some nine months later) of JESUS CHRIST's birth.
And that month of JESUS CHRIST's conception was in the sixth month of the Sacred Calendar (still being used by the Jews in the pagan religion of Judaism). From this you would (or should anyway) be able to figure out that JESUS CHRIST was born between late spring up to latest before early summer of the northern hemisphere (but you don't have to believe this if you lusted totally and uncontrollably to refuse to).

Q: Why are so much of the Holy Christian Scripture records in figure of speech of analogies and allegories (aka Scripture terms: parables or riddles), symbolisms, metaphors, sarcasms, hyperboles, parodies, etc.?
A: There are several reasons with the main reasons being Dualism and Types followed by because of the deliberated stupidity () of the creature personages. Among the other reasons (discussed further below) are in contexts and concepts; to hide the message from the unfaithful and disbelieving; to expose the lust driven among the Elect when they twist with spins added in to these Scriptures to push the narratives that will allow them to indulge in ego gorging lust to the maximum; to reveal the truly sincerely, faithful servants who sets their hearts to wholly seek the LORD, GOD lifting them up to set them apart such that those being called who are sincerely seeking GOD will recognize GOD's and CHRIST's voice in these faithful servants.
That of the Christian Holy Scriptures having tons of figure of speech in its testimonies, is also the number one thing that makes the Scripture of Truth absolutely unique and totally different from all the other scriptures of all the religions of the world, be these those of the all so called Abrahamic religions whether the three or four main or the hundreds (larger ones) to hundreds of thousands (tiny ones even those with just one believer) where they have their own "supreme most recent, more relevant or most accurately correct" scriptures (either additionally, or exclusively to replace the Scripture of Truth) or all the other religions and belief systems.
No other religions (including all those claiming themselves as Christian but having their own scriptures) use analogy, allegory, riddles (aka parables), metaphors, hyperbole, sarcasm and other figure of speech, not just as extensively but also as a most crucial significant part of their message as the Holy Christian Scriptures.
These two simple things alone expose as fraudulent all the other religions proclaiming their God andor religion as that of the LORD GOD of Abraham but all having their own proclaimed newer, more original, more uptodate andor whatever else crap, scriptures which they proclaimed as replacing andor superseding the Scripture of Truth, as well as additionally exposes them as nothing more than parasitic murdering (for those who have been running conquering campaigns of violent carnages for centuries to this very day whenever and wherever they can muster some power impunity to do so) identify thieves and robbers.

Q: In your discussion in the post 'Readers' Question: Why Do Innocents Suffer If GOD Is Just' in the blog 'The Holy Bible Expounded', you proclaimed and asserted that GOD want us to be free. If indeed that is true why is it the Scriptures recorded not just of GOD allowing slavery but actually endorsed and commanded it under the Old Covenant to the ancient Israelites?
A: This is either or both a myopic tunneled vision and deliberated stupidity question posed to blaspheme both GOD and the Holy Christian Scriptures.
While it is true that GOD allowed for slavery (for both valid and good reasons) it is not because GOD desired for any human beings to be enslaved but as a very necessary hard knock lesson that the creatures could (only if they want to, not if they lusted uncontrollably to refuse to) learn about the conception of bondage (aka slavery), how we are all inadvertently in bondage to lust, driven by lust to their own detriments (and if they refused to learn this and be determine to stopped all they lusting) and ultimately their perdition.
And if anyone (who reads this) has not being deliberately clueless so they they can in deliberated stupidity be massively stupid to be able to express their lust to the maximum, they would (or should anyway) have discerned and totally noted that all of humankind today, particularly all those who are the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of the human social order are mostly to nearly totally driven by their lust in their conduct of life and behavior wherever, whenever and to the extend that they can do so without immediate instant-by-fiat undesired, adverse and negative repercussion to themselves (includes all that they are proxified to).
The Scriptures is clear (to those who have retain some semblance of cognitive intelligence) that slavery and bondage is an undesired evil. Just as GOD allow for the creature personages to do evil and to become evil so too GOD allow for slavery and bondage in the human social as an effect to the evil that the creature personages sowed (i.e. perpetrated and caused).
This is no different from when death came upon humankind and has ruled over humankind from then to this day, when Adam and Eve chose the path of evil in the Garden of Eden taking what GOD had explicitly forbidden.
Among some of the most common and pervasive lust of the humankind (includes the Spirit personages commonly called Angels) is the lust to rule supreme over others, all others. The intended ends to this is so that one can express one lusts to the unbridled and unchallenged absolute maximum.
In this lust to be supreme is the acts to totally exercise power over so as to totally controlled others (often express in micro managing others as well as in seeking to have others do all of one's bidding and demands) to dictate what others can and cannot do. This essentially is slavery, a very large scale and widespread slavery in the social order of humankind right from the beginning of the Antediluvian Age to this very day.
Everywhere where anyone of humankind having freewill and self impetus, once eachall is able to begin exercising power impunity over others in whatever situation, everyall of them will very soon begins to express this lust to rule over others aka to enslave others to their lusts, demands and dictates. This is a very obvious and evident truth in the social order of humankind which we read about in the daily news but the totally lust driven proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives who are the shifters, shakers, movers, shapers and makers of the humankind order have until this very day chose to be in total clueless deliberated stupidity on this fact and truth.
The very first expression of this lust recorded in the Scriptures was during the Antediluvian Age when the men proclaimed themselves as 'sons of GOD' so they can marry all the young girls and women they lusted to have sex with. The enslavement of women as an object of men's lust is a common knowledge in history yet with slavery outlawed today this evil practice of slavery continued to be not just condoned but a legislated privilege for men to have power to sexually exploit and abuse women and their bodies including to dictate what women can and cannot do, can and cannot wear, in many to most of the countries of the world.
Today almost everyone (including almost all among the Elect, the true Christian) who take on the name of God (i.e. all who declare God) in their mouth invariably try (some successful, others not as successful) to have themselves be worshiped as the supreme proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of God so that they can rule supreme over (directly) their zombied minions and (indirectly) over all others whom their can coerced and intimidate.

A: Yes but not (grant) all prayers. In the short time (of some thirty over years) of my calling by GOD, I have many prayers answered (i.e. favorably) and equally many unanswered (as in 'not yet the appointed time) as well those for which the answer is 'no'.
No doubt everyall prayers of the righteous are heard (Proverbs 15:29; James 5:16; 1 Peter 3:12) by GOD. And no, it is not because of how righteous I am or lack there of. Let it be clear, GOD grants us or answers our prayers according to HIS will and purpose for us. Outside of HIS purpose for us, anyall prayers are not answered favorably.
So be careful what you pray for that it is not done to satisfy your lust (however you may lied to yourself). Because sometimes when GOD's answer is no, Satan the Devil will grant us our lust driven prayers that we be snared and ultimately led to our perdition. And GOD will often allow him to do so.
This has happened to me a couple of times when I thought that my (prayer) requests was from a legitimate need (or so it seems to me) as it would not harm anyone directly or indirectly. But it was done (i.e. GOD allowed Satan the Devil to grant me what I requested) because of some lessons I needed to learn that I will better be able to serve (GOD in) the purpose of my calling (Romans 8:28). These were hard knocks' lessons.
In my life many to most of the lessons I learned from are through hard knocks. I know this doesn't vouch well of me but I will take my lessons (that improves me to be a better servant of GOD) anyhow I can get them.
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Romans 8:28
Most times it take time for prayers to be answered, from a few days to decades. Some prayers obviously needed to have an immediate answers (because of immediate concerns, dangers or threats) while others can wait a few days to weeks or even months, while others still, can wait decades. We (i.e. humankind) invariably wants our prayers to be answered there and then whenever we prayed. But it is GOD's purpose that will stand.
Abraham have to wait for twenty five years living as a nomad before his prayers (i.e. desires for an heir from his own body) was answered. It would be some over five hundred years before his descendants inherited the Promised Land.
And while GOD waited (for the appointed time) to grant Abraham his request for an heir. Satan the Devil stepped him and answered him with a son through Hagar. We know that it was from Satan the Devil because it did not end well.
Joseph was sold into slavery then bondage for over ten years of his life before his dream vision became a reality (i.e. was answered). David (ordained by GOD to be King when he was a teen) was a fugitive from King Saul for some ten years before he began to ascended to the throne over Judah then finally all Israelite.
Job the most righteous man who ever lived was severely afflicted for months before GOD delivered him and blessed him. Daniel one of three most righteous man who ever lived was thrown into the lions' den (though he was delivered from the lions and those who plotted evil against him were destroyed).
In my own life there have been quite a few prayers answer immediately (or almost immediately), some fully answered others partially answered (GOD granting me some relieve). These are all very obvious and clear miracles by any definition.
One, a very powerful miracle was with regards to the weather particularly the temperature in my small apartment which at times soared to 34 degrees Celsius and higher, over several periods for several weeks duration of each year.
Over the last eleven years of this work I have been working (on my computer) in my small rented apartment. The local weather can be quite hot with normal temperature hovering around 33 to 34 degrees Celsius (between 91 to 94 degrees Fahrenheit) most of the days of the years (except during the two rainy seasons where on rainy days (and especially during the two annual rainy season) the temperature will be mostly around 30 degrees Celsius).
For the initial five to six years, I worked as best I could under this less than conducive temperature. Then my (first computer) crashed, which I suspected was due to the high temperature (above 34 degrees Celsius in the afternoon to late into the night until well into the morning hours) during that period. From then I began to pray for favorable temperature of not above 31 degrees Celsius. This was beginning in 2017 C.E. until this very day.
At first it would took days (even a week or two) before I began to see favorable temperatures and this is for some of the time (usually morning to middle afternoon) every now and then. Every time the temperature would go above 31 degrees Celsius, I would pray that GOD in HIS mercy would intervene to keep the temperature within my small apartment at a conducive temperature (for my living and especially for me to do this work). In the beginning it would take a week or two before (my prayers were answered and) the temperature would be go down to around 30 degrees Celsius and maintained at that for some weeks.
However some time in the beginning of 2019 C.E., I began experiencing very conducive temperature of around 29 degrees Celsius the whole year round almost continuously (i.e. continually with a couple of occasions a year when the temperature going up to around 32 degrees Celsius for two or three days to almost a week). This pattern of mostly 29 degrees Celsius temperature has been holding continually until this very day (the time of this entry and latest updates) from the whole of this last three years. This is unprecedented and has not happened before (I began making prayers to this effect) from as far back as when I first moved into this place where I have been staying for the past fourteen years.
Before this on very rare years, the temperature would go down to 29 degrees Celsius for any lengthy period (commonly it is just one or two days when it has been rainy continuously for several days). And even during the peak of the rainy periods at most it will be for relatively short periods of a couple of weeks of so in a year. So for the temperature to hover around 29 degrees Celsius (almost continuously not just continually) for over three years now (as per this update in 2022 01 31), it is an unprecedented event that can only be by the mercy of GOD.
No doubt all the disbelievers and unbelievers will mock and scoff but I know that this is from GOD's hand and it parallels (as a Type) to the ancient Israelite when they were in the wilderness and GOD was a pillar of cloud by day and pillar of fire by night to them.
So yes GOD does answer the prayers of the righteous, just often not immediately and I have to wait (from days, weeks, months and even years), and sometimes the answer is no.
John 16:33
JESUS CHRIST specifically said that 'in the world you will have trouble'. Trouble in (this) life is a given. Because the world of humankind is filled to overflowing with those who are evil.
But that is not even the half of it. Satan the Devil rules over this age (and world). Satan the Devil who severely afflicted Job albeit limited by GOD from taking Job's life, hates all humankind. He particularly hates all those GOD has called, and even more those among these who seek GOD with all their hearts.
While he still has to pay due regard to GOD otherwise he would be put away, he can still cause a lot of trouble for those who sincerely seek GOD with all their hearts.
And in as much as GOD allowed Satan the Devil to rule over this world of humankind (), as also HE allowed all those evil to continue their evil schemes and work, this is not without a reason. GOD allow evil into the creation and the continuing of all those who do evil for the same reason. And this is that the righteous will be fully tested to prove their faith and obedient to GOD as the wicked ran havoc in the social order of humankind.
And that was the precise reason GOD allowed Satan the Devil to attack Job that through this test and trial, Job's faith and trust in GOD would be fully tested and proven, with Job having a better understanding of GOD and himself after his trials and testing.
As this work have mentioned before, if your faith is not tested you will have no faith at all. The testing of the faithful is that which grow their faith. The presence of evil and all those who are evil is not just that the righteous will be tested and proven. But that evil will be given its fullest expression that it will be fully understood by all those who will choose good that through these lessons on evil, they might understand what evil is exactly, how it is conceived in the heart (i.e. the mind) of all those living when they seek to get what they needed and wanted without be concerned about their effects of their actions on others. And on thus learning they, all that truly (as opposed to all those who in deliberated stupidity pretend to) seek good will never ever under any circumstances, take the pathway of evil in the expression of their lives and living.
As the faithful servants of the ALMIGHTY, our struggles is not so much as with flesh and blood who are the doing and perpetrators of evil in our social order for these are no more than the tools the Evil One use to get at us, to afflict us or to get us to take to the path of evil.
Two of the most iconic examples of the ways Satan the Devil attacks on the Saints of GOD are those on Job and the Apostle Paul.
In Job, Satan the Devil attacked him both indirectly (through his human instruments) and directly (using his paranormal powers with earthquakes and fire from heaven). He even attack Job through Job's three supposed friends (through their very own self righteousness) to get them to fiercely accused Job falsely provoking Job into anger and sinned.
Satan the Devil's attack was focus or target on getting Job to renounce his faith and to curse GOD. In this Satan the Devil failed completely But he was totally successfully in getting Job's three self righteous so called friends to (falsely) accused Job saying that Job got much less that what he deserved.
While in the Apostle Paul's case, Satan the Devil had the Apostle Paul totally under his thumb. But of course that was not enough, at the end of the day, Satan the Devil attack is intended that we renounce our faith in GOD.

Q: According this work of yours, the Apostle Paul who was personally handpicked and ordained by JESUS CHRIST was not just a spreader of heresy but of explicit blasphemy against GOD and the LORD JESUS. This is just such an utterly ridiculous assertion. It is an inconceivable and ridiculous idea that JESUS CHRIST would ordained an evil person to be one HIS twelve Apostles. Why in the world, for what possible reason, would JESUS do such a thing, ordained a person to spread heresy and blasphemy as the writing of the Scripture of Truth?
A: Ridiculous ideas only to those who either did not read the Scripture of Truth, or those who read it but understood nothing from it (i.e. have eyes and see not, who have ears and hear not — Jeremiah 5:21; Ezekiel 12:2; Mark 8:18; Romans 11:8).
Was not Judas Iscariot specifically handpicked and ordained as an Apostle by JESUS to betray CHRIST ().
Did not King David, a man after GOD's own heart, committed adultery () and murder ()?
Did not King Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived became massively stupid, because of his lust for women turned to idolatry (), and even seek to murder a man GOD had ordained () as King to the ten tribes of Israel, something his father King David never would do?
Was not Balaam a (an ordained) Prophet of GOD who lusted so greedily after the gold of Balak () that he literally became insane () then conspired with Balak () to cause the Israelite to sin so that GOD would bring a curse upon them (i.e. the Israelite)?
Did not GOD anoint Saul as King over the Israelite (includes Judah), and was not Saul a lust driven and evil sinner who have no inclination at all absolutely to be faithful to GOD?
Did not the Prophet Moses go into denial () about his breaking faith () with GOD when he struck the stone, for which reason GOD would not allow him to go into the Promised Land? And that was not the first time he directly sinned against GOD, did he not in his uncontrolled anger smash the two tablets of stone with the Words of the (Old) Covenant written (personally and directly) by GOD ().
And ask yourself why GOD would raise up a Worthless Shepherd who would not care for HIS sheep ()?
In the discussion on intelligent comprehension I disclosed that the very first thing to know about the Christian Holy Scripture is that it is a communiqué. To understand what is being communicated require intelligence, that the those receive and decipher the messages for them to understand what is being communicated they need to be intelligent.
And indeed humankind are very, very intelligent. Just take a look at what humankind has accomplished and learned about ourselves and our habitat, the earth and the entire cosmos.
But then take a look at the social order of humankind especially today where there is all these knowledge on almost every aspect of our lives and living, yet despite our incredulous intelligence, humankind in the conduct of their lives and especially what they chose to believe in. We do not see a corresponding intelligence but massively moronic stupidity, an arrogant and brazen unbelievable deliberated stupidity so as to be able to believe in whatever they lusted uncontrollably to believe in.
