Augustine: The Rock Is Christ

[allodial]

The following is from Tractate CXXIV of Augustine's Homilies on the Gospel of John:

For, as regards his proper personality, he was by nature one man, by grace one Christian, by still more abounding grace one, and yet also, the first apostle; but when it was said to him, "I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven," he represented the universal Church, which in this world is shaken by divers temptations, that come upon it like torrents of rain, floods and tempests, and falleth not, because it is founded upon a rock (petra), from which Peter received his name. For petra (rock) is not derived from Peter, but Peter from petra; just as Christ is not called so from the Christian, but the Christian from Christ. For on this very account the Lord said, "On this rock will I build my Church," because Peter had said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." On this rock, therefore, He said, which thou hast confessed. I will build my Church. For the Rock (Petra) was Christ; and on this foundation was Peter himself also built.

Or....the Word (truth and wisdom) of God being the rock or foundation of the Christ's lawful assembly or the Church (and purposed not merely for initiating a relationship but for maintaining such a relationship)?

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? John 14:6-9 KJV

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Genesis 1:27 KJV

I found some videos to explain why the Trading with the Enemy Act has been removed from sources of CODE:

I have seen this face, three times.

Listen to these lessons on "rivalry".

There is an immutable law of free will. The Master is limited, believe it or not, to the obedience of the student to actually attack. If the student is feigning the attack then the Master is limited. The first student is so determined to regain control of his body, that he strains a tendon in his thigh. Note the ponytail student too, hurts himself in determination to attack, but the Master heals him quickly, with the same loving energy.






I take biochemical shortcuts and in short, by controlling my fears I delay the reaction to the potential deception that there can be deficit and loss. When it is out of timing, it is not brought by the time-dependent ego into existence.

In other words, as a defense mechanism Cornell Law and the Senate have removed the Trading with the Enemy Act from the Bankers' Code in order to avoid murder charges. I have control over the matter, so long as they attack. When they do not attack, their free will is restored to them because there is peace. And you might continue to endorse private credit from the Fed if you so wish...

I hope you choose redemption.
