God and Humanity

The Church is The Believers

/ azurestarton / Leave a comment

Jesus did not establish the Church,to be a physical building.

He created the Church which is actually a mistranslation from the word Ecclesia.

Ecclesia means the Assembly of Believers and the real Ecclesia is every believer dead and alive.

Since God does not dwell nor live in houses built with human hands,he don’t dwell in worship places.

God dwells in the heaven which is His throne as the earth is His footstool.


Here are Bible verses that back up what I am telling you now:


God does not live in temples made by human hands:

Acts 17:24

The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples made by human hands.

God the Father does not dwell in houses made by hands and Heaven is His throne and the earth is His footstool:

Acts 7:48-50

Yet the Most High does not dwell in houses made by hands, as the prophet says,

“‘Heaven is my throne,
and the earth is my footstool.
What kind of house will you build for me, says the Lord,
or what is the place of my rest?
Did not my hand make all these things?’

God cannot even be contained by the highest heaven much less this temple this person built:

1 Kings 8:27

But will God indeed dwell upon the earth? Even heaven, the highest heaven, cannot contain You, much less this temple I have built.

Jesus’s intent was that now through the Church the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms:

Ephesians 3:10

His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms,

Jesus is the Head of the Body which is the Church:

Colossians 1:18

And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.

We are the Body of Christ and members in particular:

1 Corinthians 12:27

Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

There are many parts,but one Body:

1 Corinthians 12:20

As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

So we being many are one Body in Christ:

Romans 12:5

So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

As you can tell that the Church is the believers of Christ which are in Christ and God the Father does not dwell nor live in temples built by human hands.

Authorities on the earth are established by people

I have thought about this matter long enough.

In my time on earth I have realized that people can do wrong.

So why would God as sovereign as he is put rulers in charge over people.

If you research the origin of kings then you will see that it was people who wanted one,not God establishing one.

God let it be.

Please read this:

1 Samuel 8:5-7

And said to him, Behold, you are old, and your sons walk not in your ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations. 

But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed to the LORD. 

And the LORD said to Samuel, Listen to the voice of the people in all that they say to you: for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.

As you can see,God never initiated a earthly king over people.He allowed it.

God is the true King of all the earth:

Psalm 47:7

For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.

What God is about

If you read the Bible correctly and rightly divide the Word of God

then you will realize just how good God is:

God is Living and is the Savior of all people:

1 Timothy 4:10

That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe.

Jesus said When I am lifted up from the earth,will draw all people to myself:

John 12:32

And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”

God will bring about times of refreshment and restore everything:

Acts 3:20

Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah.

Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.

The religion that God accepts as pure and faultless is to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world:

James 1:27

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

This may take some time to accept,yet God is this good.

God never asked for sacrifices

/ azurestarton / Leave a comment

If the Jews actually read these Bible verses,

then they would have not asked for Jesus to be harmed.

 

Jesus even knew the scriptures so he was acquainted with

the knowledge that God himself desired mercy.

 

Abel brought the best of the firstborn lambs from his flock and The LORD accepted Abel and his gift:

Genesis 4:4

Abel also brought a gift–the best of the firstborn lambs from his flock. The LORD accepted Abel and his gift,

 

Summary of Genesis 4:4

Abel brought the best of the firstborn lambs from his flock that were alive and The LORD accepted Abel and his gift.

 

 

God desired mercy,and not sacrifice;and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings:

Hosea 6:6

For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

 

Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,

and burnt offering and sin offering you have not required:

Psalm 40:6

Sacrifice and offering you did not desire; my ears have you opened: burnt offering and sin offering have you not required.

 

Burnt offerings are not acceptable to God and sacrifices do not please God:

Jeremiah 6:20

What use to Me is frankincense from Sheba or sweet cane from a distant land? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable; your sacrifices do not please Me.”

 

God takes no delight in the blood of bulls,of lambs and goats:

Isaiah 1:11

What is your multitude of sacrifices to Me?” says the LORD. “I am full from the burnt offerings of rams and the fat of well-fed cattle; I take no delight in the blood of bulls, of lambs and goats.

 

God considers sacrifices worthless and the incense disgusting and God can’t stand the evil done on New Moon Festivals and on Sabbaths and other times of worship:

Isaiah 1:13

Your sacrifices are worthless, and your incense disgusting. I can’t stand the evil you do on your New Moon Festivals or on your Sabbaths and other times of worship.

 

God hates and despises your feast days and he will not smell in your solemn assemblies:

Amos 5:21

I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.

 

It is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins:

Hebrews 10:4

For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

 

Every day every priest stands and performs his religious duties;again and again he offers the same sacrifices,which can never take away sins:

Hebrews 10:11

Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

 

 

Summary of Hebrews 10:4,11

It it is not possible for the blood of bulls and of goats to take  away sins

Every day every priest stands and performs his religious duties;again and again he offers the same sacrifices,which can never take away sins

 

 

 

We have been mislead to think that God sent His own son to die for us,

yet God sent His own son that we might get saved,

that we might become righteous before Him.

 

 

Summary:

God desires mercy,and not sacrifice

God desires not sacrifice or offering

God did not require burnt offering or sin offering

God does not accept burnt offerings

God is not pleased with sacrifices

God takes no delight in the blood of bulls,of lambs and goats

God considers sacrifices worthless and the incense disgusting

God can’t stand the evil done on New Moon Festivals and on Sabbaths and other times of worship

and

God hates and despises your feast days and he will not smell in your solemn assemblies

 

To please God we must avoid offering and sacrificing stuff to God

because those two things were never asked for or required by Him.

God makes us from the womb truthfully

/ azurestarton / Leave a comment

God formed us from the womb and he has made all things.

God is very powerful.

God loves us and he made us to last.

God made us into who we are,so it is wrong to have an abortion,just as it is wrong to rape anybody.

 

God created our inmost being and knit us together in our mother’s womb:

Psalm 139:13

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

 

God formed us from the womb:

Isaiah 44:24

Thus said the LORD, your redeemer, and he that formed you from the womb, I am the LORD that makes all things; that stretches forth the heavens alone; that spreads abroad the earth by myself;

 

God made us as the clay,clothes us with skin and flesh,fenced us with bones and sinews,granted us life and favor and his visitation has preserved our spirits:

Job 10:9-12

Remember, I beseech you, that you have made me as the clay; and will you bring me into dust again?

Have you not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?

You have clothed me with skin and flesh, and have fenced me with bones and sinews.

You have granted me life and favor, and your visitation has preserved my spirit.

 

God upheld from birth and he took us out of our mother’s womb:

Psalm 71:6

By you have I been upheld from birth: you are he that took me out of my mother’s womb: my praise shall be continually of you.

 

Whoever takes a human life,by a human shall their life be taken, for God made humankind in his own image:

Genesis 9:6

Whoever takes a human life, by a human will his life be taken, for God made humankind in his own image.

 

God knows us better than our own parents and our own family.

Abortion is killing a life which is a sin.

 

I hope that you have enjoyed reading this post.

 

Jesus is not his Father and his Father is not him

/ azurestarton / Leave a comment

Jesus is God with us,yet Jesus is not God Himself.

I know I know,you are gonna get mad,yet let me explain.

Jesus was sent by God and only did and spoke

what Jesus saw God do and speak.

Jesus even admitted that God was greater than Him.

Below are Bible verses all about this and they make it clear

that there is a difference between them.

Still they are one,yet not the same.

It is like this

we are not God,yet we are made of His image and His likeness,

yet people miss this.

Jesus never claimed to be God,

yet he admitted that he existed before Abraham.

 

When Jesus admitted that He is one with the Father,

is like saying Jesus was unified with the Father

because the Father is a Spirit

and the Bible even says that we too can be one spirit with The Lord.

So we can do exactly like Jesus does and it is totally ok to do

 

 

 

Let me make something clear and it is this:

If Jesus was God and the Father he would have had no reason to

go to a God and the Father,

there would be no point in doing it

and such logic is like saying I am gonna go to my father who is myself.

People would look at you like you lost your mind and was crazy,

yet Jesus is not his Father and his Father is not him

so the confusion should diminish and fade to nothingness.

Jesus honestly never once in his ministry,nor before or after it

admitted to being his Father and his God.

He had no need to and still people out there have misguided logic

just like they do about Lucifer being some fallen angel when he never was,

yet he was a fallen king,the King of Babylon in fact.

 

So let’s delve into the Bible Verses that set the record straight

that Jesus witnessed,yet was not God,still from God though.

Jesus came down from heaven:

John 6:38

For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

 

He is from Above and not of this world

and the world is the field:

John 8:23

And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

Matthew 13:38

The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

Jesus on his own self can do nothing,

but as he hears he judges,and his judgment

is just and he seeks not his own will,

but the will of the Father which has sent him and he was also sent to finish his Father’s work,speak what his Father taught him and to do whatever he sees his Father do:

John 5:30

I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

John 4:34

Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.

John 8:28

So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing on My own, but speak exactly what the Father has taught Me.

John 5:19

So Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing by Himself, unless He sees the Father doing it. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does.

 

 Jesus prayed too and his desire was to do his Father’s will and he asked if his Father be willing to take the cup from him,which he never did:

Matthew 26:39

And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

Luke 22:42

“Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.”

 

He is in his Father and his Father is in him,

his Father dwelling in him performs His works and his Father is our Father and his God is our God too:

John 14:10
Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words I say to you, I do not speak on My own. Instead, it is the Father dwelling in Me, performing His works.

John 20:17

Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

As you can tell Jesus is speaking about something even Moses would understand,Jesus is speaking of God using him to do his will.Except Jesus is his own son.Jesus was sent here to bring heaven to us,yet those in his day missed it.He was very understandable of what his need on earth was and that was to do his and our Father’s will.
