Ezekiel 30:2-3 Son of man, prophesy and say, thus saith the Lord GOD; Howl ye, Woe worth the day! For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen.
A time of the heathen...the word heathen...heath·en
noun DEROGATORY
a person who does not belong to a widely held religion (especially one who is not a Christian, Jew, or Muslim) as regarded by those who do.
As you see, this means that we must belong to some organization, or religion.
Is this why that, the "Many" say to the lord...Matthew 7:20-24 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
"I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity"
You see, what this is describing, talking about the "Many" is, these many have belonged to some religion, and seems to me that they belong for the purpose of not being a "Heathen"!
Recently, I have heard that those that are not a certain religion, their belief, they call other that are not of them, heathen, or Infidels. (in·fi·del
/ˈinfədl,ˈinfəˌdel/
Learn to pronounce
noun
plural noun: infidels
a person who does not believe in religion or who adheres to a religion other than one's own.
"they wanted to secure the Holy Places from the infidel")
So, as we see the "Many" Religions throughout the earths population, it makes me wonder, "Just what religion" is this that I should choose to belong too?
I don't recall where, the lord in creating man, speaking of Adam, nowhere do i see that god said to Adam...Choose you a religion, join, and be committed to that religion!
When talking, or referring to religion, this shows, this only refers to "Religion" as this...Ac 26:5 Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the straightest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
Ga 1:13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
Ga 1:14 And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
Jas 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
Jas 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
We hear often, those that say "He, or she is, Very Religiously inclined."
From the above, Religion, seems to have started by the Jews Religion.
I don't see anywhere Jesus refers anyone to become Religious, and for sure, he doesn't make difference, has no respect of person either.
Leviticus 19:15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy Neighbour.
Then again, Jesus came not to Judge...John 12:47 And if any man hears my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
So, under, or with the Law, which the Law is "Good", and as Paul writes...Romans 7:12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
Being Just is...Romans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, the just shall live by faith.
In other words, one must be Just, which is not by keeping the commandants, but going beyond the law, or the commandant to the one that Justifies us, which is Jesus Christ.
When did Adam become "Unjust"?
Adam, after he eats from the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and note here, Good is God, also Good is the Law, which the Law is a Commandant, which God tells Adam...Genesis 2:15-17 And the LORD God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
In other words, the question is...Was Adam Justified in taking this fruit from this tree of knowledge of Good (God), and Evil (Sin, Satan, The Subtle Beast)?
When did Adam become "Unjust' of Unjustified?
It was when Adam and Eve, realized that they were Naked, they take leaves from a Fig Tree, which this Tree is used to cover nakedness, hid sin, and shame.
Being Unjustified, from the taking of the fruit of the tree of good and evil, both Adam and Eve became Unjustified in the sight of the lord.
Was Adam, and Eve, actually naked?
Would God form Adam from the dust, and not clothe him with Righteousness?
It is hard for me to think that Adam and Eve was "Stark Naked" being in the presence of the Angels, i just cannot but think that Adam was clothed with the Righteousness of the Law, which is Jesus Christ, the End of the Law for Righteousness...
Romans 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
Does this do away with the Law?
If this does away with the law, then, this would do away with God!
Absolutely Not, no way does this do away with the law, God, but it Establishes the law...Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
You see, Adam being Justified by Righteousness through Faith, as Faith...Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
When we Paint a picture of something, that picture must be place in a "Frame" which the frame brings out the beauty of this Picture.
That is how God frames this world, which is Faith.
Faith makes us appear to the eyes of the lord as, outstanding, or beautiful.
If we take the frame away, is it still a picture?
Yes, the picture is still there, but the picture does not appear to the eye until, we place a very nice frame around this picture.
I have noticed that there are those that will sell a hand painted picture, but my friend, they really make their money by selling you a frame to frame the picture in.
Some, or the Many, they, sure they take God, the good, and they may have copied this picture, but if they can frame it with a frame, they can sell you the picture more quickly, and for more profit.
I want to show you, the reader how Satan, how he Grew this Tree of knowledge of Good and Evil, by taking what god gave him, created him with, and decides to Frame it with his Evil ways, which he makes the Evil look so beautiful to the eyes, as he does with Eve...
Genesis 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
You see, when those that were asking Jesus...Matthew 22:25-30 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother: Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. And last of all the woman died also. Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
Let's turn this around the other way, and listen, or see why this Subtle Beast attracts Eve.
He must have seen Eve wandering around this garden, and looking at all the splendor of this garden, and wondering why the Lord tells them to stay away from this one tree.
As she goes, yes, I am convinced she is wondering why this tree is not to be eaten from, and has to see for herself, just like anyone of us, especially a child, you tell them to not do something, that it is wrong, they will do it anyway.
You see, that is what is called "Choice" which is what god creates his creation with, to be able to make Wise Choices.
That is still here in our garden that we are to dress, take care of, and make sure that we don't go looking at that which the bible tells us not to go near.
We have this that is called a Conscious, which god placed in this flesh body, able to make choices on how we are to be around others, and these choices are for a reason.
Lest assume that we have no choice, my friend, if you could not choose, what would you be living under?
A Dictator!!
So, when you just think that something is not like you, or someone is not like you, doesn't meet your standards, do you just decide to be, as the Subtle Beast told Eve...Genesis 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
You see, Adam was formed from the earth, then this breath of god, which is God, the invisible god, and the Holy Ghost, do you not realize that this breath cause Adam to be Good, or be as God, not "As Gods?
This subtle beast, he did not tell Eve that, she would be "Like God" but that she would be "As Gods" or be As the Angels, as Jesus tells those that in the resurrection they are "As Angels".
Jesus did not tell them that they would be "Angels" as some say about the ones that die, their loved ones, they say are their Angel.
They are not you Angel, but they are AS Angels" but with power to become "Sons of God" ...Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Sons Of God, not Sons of Gods, or Gods Many...1 Corinthians 8:5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
Here above, not Sons of Many Gods, or Gods Man' which this is saying that there are those that are of Satan, sin, in the flesh, still eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, wanting to be "As Gods."
Yes, the apostle said that there are "Many"...
Matthew 7:20-24 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore, whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
Here they are, the "Many" that are Very Religion, as Paul said he was of the Sect of the Jews Religion, when he was named Saul, he was A Religiously Taught, Self-Righteous man that was headed toward hell.
God, well, he knew that Saul was Troubled doing what he was doing, just like there are those today that are playing Havoc on others that are Sons of God, not Sons of Being as Gods.
Jesus tells Saul...Acts 9:5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutes: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
Some of you had better hope that Jesus turns up this Gospel Light so bright that it will blind you, as it did with Saul, as Saul looked right into this light, and that light burned Scales on his eyes.
Just try to, not do not try, but let me tell you, do not look into the Sun light, if you do, it will blind you, place scales on your eyes.
My friend, gods light will burn all of our unrighteousness right out of us.
Then he will, if you repent, he will dress you, clothe you with this Righteousness of the law which is the end of the law for righteousness, which is Jesus Christ, this Word of god that I'm writing to you tonight, and have been writing for Twenty Years or more, and have studied this king James Bible since 1959.
So, choose this Day whom you will serve.
Not me, but Jesus Christ.
You can belong to every religious organization in this world, but like Jesus tells the Young Rich Man... Matthew 19:16-26 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, thou shalt do no murder, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother: and thou shalt love thy Neighbour as thyself. The young man saith unto him, all these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? Jesus said unto him, if thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again, I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, with men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
