Right, I should have been more careful instead of declaring the date was - it is approx - because we don't know with certainty. Nevertheless there remains a reflection - a poor reflection - but nevertheless a reflection into what we see today. For At once we see God in man working to bring man to Jesus status of "IN LIGHT MENT" but then we see Jesus saying "Don't pray to me" and yet we see people ending their prayers in Jesus' name. Also we see Jesus saying "of myself I can do nothing" and yet we see people holding up an image. And we see Jesus saying ye can do greater than I but who believes this to be true?Originally Posted by David Merrill
And we see Jesus asking "who touched me" for he perceived power flowing THRU him. We know that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God but we don't like to think of the Kingdom in those terms. But consider the idea of a transmitting utility of Spirit in Jesus. The POWER and WISDOM of God in Jesus. And we are told to have the same Mind as Jesus who thought it not robbery to be equal with God. But who believes that?
And we see in our every day experience of which we curse in our ignorance - a transmitting utility known as a Legal Name [with Account Number] and we know that that name is Legal to a particular system of Law and there is nothing Legal to that Law system in some other name such as a Christian Name. For that CN is a stranger to that "particular form of Law". And we see that the State in which that "particular form of Law" operates is a State of group Consciousness. And as such, the State is as God to the Legal Name. And all Wisdom and Power which might flow to the user is done by and thru the Transmitting Utility known as a Legal Name.
Poor little man is so ignorant - but Christ laid down in man - man was not WILLING for this to happen - thusly the fall was not voluntary as many would suppose as a rebellion against God - rather it was planned so that man might evolve into Jesus status. For many will now claim blasphemy - which shows how little they understand or have read Scripture. For the Scriptures declare
2Co 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Thusly it is the Power and Wisdom of God working in man to regenerate man from the natural state of ignorance and debt/death/sin to a Spiritual State of Life. It is the carnal mind warring against God. I have looked in the mirror and I behold my enemy and at the same time I behold my Salvation.
Thusly the transmutation is done by the Spirit of the Lord working in man. Can these bones life Ezekiel? Response: Thou knoweth.
Eze 37:3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.
Eze 37:4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
Eze 37:5 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
Comment: Do you hear verse 5? If you do then you will understand the 7th day man.
Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Comment: Man is formed in Experience! But it is God's work in man. No man may boast of his status for it is God working in man. I wonder how many will be swept away into the physical response of thought regarding the intellect of word smithing regarding the term "breathed" and thus totally miss the boat in regard to consciousness?
For Noah's Ark had three decks [Physical, Mental and Spiritual] but there was a window at the top of the Ark and this is the mechanism whereby man can be present with the Lord this day. To Day if you can hear his Voice.
Shalom,
