This is my passion too. Digging for minerals. Ever since my father took me to Franklin NJ and News Street Quarry I was hooked on the search for minerals. Crystals are Gods art forms of order.

I was taking a lot of photos in my hotel from previous finds and here I share some of the beauty a camera and the creator can put together.

I finally invested in a better ultraviolet lamp for about 1000 and am happy with it. I have been experimenting with listening to Tangerine Dream while photographing with my older collectibles with Rebel Canon Ti5 with macrolenses and a helicon stacking program.

Then playing with the parameters on the software and the UV lamp I got some nice photos I think:

Romance/Sex = Potent Mind Control

May 7, 2011

(Updated Conclusion)

Love is really the love of perfection (God.)  People are not perfect. We have been brainwashed to sublimate our love of God into worship of people, i.e. romance and sex. This is idolatry.

by Henry Makow Ph.D.

“Whopper” no longer refers to a hamburger but to the latest White House Press Release. The masses eat it up, like dogs who welcome their leash.
Kabbalist Jews and Masons, the Illuminati bankers are enslaving humanity in a veiled “world government” tyranny dedicated to Lucifer.

Throughout history they have broken us down by instigating wars, depressions, calamity and corruption. They have also destabilized us by promoting bogus and dysfunctional beliefs.The Protocols of the Elders of Zion state: “We must introduce into their education all those principles which have so brilliantly broken up their order.” (16)

Since the Illuminati bankers dictate fashion through the mass media, it is a simple matter to shape mass psychology and destabilize society.

They simply present behavior like premarital sex, promiscuity, adultery, homosexuality and obscenity as though they were the healthy norm. Monkey see; monkey do.

They promote dysfunction in more subtle ways too.Have you noticed that in TV and movies, there is usually an unrealistic correlation between a person’s physical appearance and their moral status?

The “good guys” are handsome while the “bad guys” are ugly. Beautiful women are rarely portrayed as bad. Thus we are unconsciously indoctrinated to believe that beauty and goodness are identical.

Consequently, most men (and women) pursue feminine beauty as though it were a religion.

This is deliberate. The Illuminati are satanists; they want us to worship false gods: sex, money, fame and power. They want us to worship beautiful women — “goddesses”. Men are indoctrinated to believe the love of a beautiful woman (God) is as good as gets.   

{Here my comments: this is an old trick of Satan. It goes back to Balaam. You know the false prophet that was told of by a donkey. If you cannot use your money to curse Gods chosen then use your money to tempt them to sin by sex.

Num 22:6

Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: 

Num 22:18b I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more.

Num 25:15 “Moses said to them, “Have you allowed all the women to live? 16 Look, these people, through the counsel of Balaam, caused the Israelites to act treacherously against the LORD in the matter of Peor”

And what was Baal Peor but a demon of the Canaanites

“The god is himself also called “Peor” by abbreviation (Num. xxxi. 16; Josh. xxii. 17). It is commonly held that this form of Ba’al-worship especially called for sensual indulgence. The context seems to favor his view, on account of the shameful licentiousness into which many of the Israelites were there enticed.”

The cultures change but the spiritual forces are the same}

One of the pioneers of “humanism” was the Masonic philosopher August Comte (1798-1857.) He advocated idealizing women as a way of “secularizing” society:

{Compte was certifiablly insane https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auguste_Comte#Life}

“Women must become Goddesses,” he wrote in “System of Positive Polity” (1854). “By substituting goddesses for gods, we sanction the legitimate preeminence of women.” (Vol. 4, P. 446.)

By inflating the importance of women, the Illuminati undermine and destabilize society.

Men and women were intended to worship (i.e. love) God; women to follow their husband’s leadership. By pushing beautiful young women to the top, the whole pyramid is inverted and society is destabilized.

By “God” I mean spiritual ideals like truth, beauty, justice and love.

MORE ONTHE “LOVE/ SEX” MINDSET 

There is universal agreement in Western society that romantic love is the way to happiness. This message is drummed into our heads by about 80% of songs and movies.

Take a movie like “Serendipity” for example. The John Cusack character falls for Kate Beckinsdale but then loses touch with her. The whole movie charts his frantic search, and when he does find her, it is presented as the Second Coming of Christ.

The woman has become a surrogate for his own soul. He has lost his soul by loving her, and now he thinks she is going to give it back.   

The reason I harp on this subject is that I was very much a victim of the mass media. I overvalued love/sex/women. The essence of masculinity is power. It is what women want in a man.  But thanks to the free ride women get in the media,men are too in awe to court them; women are too in awe of themselves to follow a man. Neither are able to bond. Neither mature by assuming marital and parental responsibilities. The result: arrested development and an obsession with sex.

Of course sexual attraction (lust) is often mistaken for love. The Illuminati have endowed sexual intercourse with ridiculous religious and psychological expectations. It is the holy sacrament of the bogus religion. The result is that people pathetically mimic the love they crave by having anonymous sex.

The acceptance of anonymous sex has degraded all human relationships to the level of a short cheap thrill. For me, there is no better proof that humanity is in the clutch of satanists. 

Sex has no significance unless it is an expression of love. It is a physical appetite like hunger.  

Couples should not feel pressured to maintain the romantic standard peddled in the media.  A successful lifelong marriage is based on mutual support, companionship, commitment, respect and trust. Sexual attraction is only one of many contributing factors.Two people pledge devotion regardless of their many imperfections.They love the real person, not the ideal one. But the ideal does reside within every soul. We’re all beautiful there. Don’t look for happiness/perfection outside yourself

. Don’t look for anyone to give you yourself. Worship God by uncovering the Truth buried in our souls

. 

Love is really the love of perfection (God.)  People are not perfect. We have been brainwashed to sublimate our love of God into worship of people, i.e. romance and sex. This is idolatry.

People should not love each other in the sense of worship. This misplaced love sabotages and destroys countless lives.

CONCLUSION

Humanity has been hijacked by a satanic cult, the Illuminati, who are Kabbalists and Luciferians. Our civilization is based on a denial of God’s existence and design. In effect, this is tantamount to denying Intelligent Design,(which should be self-evident) and the existence of morality and truth.

God is Consciousness which is the ultimate Reality: Truth, Goodness, Love, Beauty and Justice. That is why we all love and crave these ideals, why we all crave God.

We are radios that tune into this frequency. Obeying God, (faith, true religion) is about entering this consciousness and behaving accordingly. This is our real identity. 

The Illuminati want to substitute their own corrupt self-serving reality. This is why they condition us to self-destructively pursue false gods like romance and sex. Their ultimate motivation is occult, not commercial. They want to stunt our biological and spiritual development, in order to domesticate us.  If you’re a satanic cult,  It’s what you do.  

Union PARTIE II

Un regard plus approfondi sur l’Union en lisant les écritures qui nous sont adressées aujourd’hui

Les paroles de Paul Ellis sur l’Union :

” Dieu vous a créés pour que vous puissiez participer à l’amour et à la vie débordants que l’on trouve dans la divinité. Vous avez été créés pour aimer et être aimés et pour partager sa vie divine dans l’union spirituelle.

Les religions artificielles disent qu’il faut travailler dur avant de pouvoir s’approcher de Dieu et que si vous péchez, il vous rejettera, mais l’évangile de la grâce déclare qu’en étant un avec le Seigneur, vous êtes aussi saint et juste que lui et que votre avenir est assuré pour l’éternité. Notre union avec le Seigneur est intime, incassable et le moyen par lequel nous faisons l’expérience de la vie abondante qui découle de la plénitude de son amour.

L’union dans la Bible

Le mot “union” n’apparaît pas dans de nombreuses Bibles anglaises, mais notre union avec le Seigneur est mentionnée des centaines de fois dans les Écritures. On la trouve dans des expressions comme “Dieu avec nous”, “Christ en vous”, “en Christ”, “avec le Christ”, “avec lui” et “en lui” (voir l’entrée pour Matt. 1:23). Elle est présente dans de nombreuses promesses (“Je suis avec vous tous les jours”) et images (“Je suis la vigne, vous êtes les sarments”). Et l’union est implicite dans le mot communion.

Le mot qui est habituellement traduit par communion (koinonia, 2842) signifie littéralement partenariat, communauté (ou unité commune) ou communion (ou union commune). Koinonia n’est pas un verbe dans le sens d’avoir des relations amicales après l’église. C’est un substantif qui décrit l’union commune des croyants entre eux et avec le Seigneur.

L’union est plus qu’une relation car elle décrit le lien mystique que tous les croyants partagent avec Dieu le Père (Eph. 2:18, 1 Jean 1:2-3, 2:15), Dieu le Fils (1 Cor. 1:9, 10:16), et Dieu le Saint-Esprit (2 Cor. 13:14, Php. 2:1, 1 Jean 4:13). Notre union nous relie également à l’église ou au corps du Christ (1 Jean 1:7). La koinonia – l’amitié – consiste à vivre pleinement de notre lien avec le Christ et son corps, nos cœurs étant “unis dans l’amour” (Col. 2:2). “

Maintenant, je me penche sur les versets auxquels Paul fait référence “

L’union avec Dieu par le Christ grâce au don qu’ils ont fait. C’est le Saint-Esprit. C’est “ma” trinité à laquelle je crois.

2Co 13:14

La grâce du Seigneur Jésus-Christ, et l’amour de Dieu, et la communion du Saint-Esprit, soient avec vous tous. Amen.[f

La grâce est venue lorsque Dieu a donné son Fils au monde dans le péché. Ils ne le méritaient pas, mais Dieu les a aimés. La grâce est venue à cause de l’amour des Pères. Ils ont envoyé le consolateur, le très saint esprit du Christ pour qu’il habite en nous. Ainsi, nous partageons tous pleinement cet esprit en nous et nous partageons pleinement le fait d’être en Christ. Le Christ en nous et nous en Christ par la grâce de notre Seigneur !

Phl 2:1

S’il y a donc quelque consolation en Christ, s’il y a quelque réconfort de l’amour, s’il y a quelque communion de l’Esprit, s’il y a quelque entrailles et miséricorde,

Notre union est le partage complet, non pas des écritures, non pas de l’église, non pas d’une race ou d’un pays. Tout cela ne peut prendre la place de l’union “une seule âme”, “un seul esprit” qui vient du fait que Christ vit dans chaque membre de son corps.

Peu importe qu’ils soient en Afrique, en Perse, en Chine ou aux bons vieux États-Unis ! Nous avons cette union qui comble les fossés entre les générations et les distances. C’est l’esprit saint qui nous encourage à aimer tout le monde à mort. Nous avons ce même esprit du Christ qui nous réconforte et c’est parce que nous avons tous exactement le même esprit du Christ en nous.

Lorsque nous réalisons cette vérité, nous pouvons agir comme UN en harmonie en Christ. Mais que s’est-il passé ?

Sola Scriptura n’a jamais été nécessaire dans l’église du premier siècle et ils connaissaient l’amour du Christ. Ils aimaient jusqu’à la mort. Pourquoi ? Lors de la réforme, nous avons quitté l’église contrôlée par l’Empire romain pour nous joindre à une église aussi faible que celle de Luther et de tous ceux qui ont revendiqué “Sola Scriptura” lors des réformes protestantes.

Une seule chose est nécessaire. L’union par l’Esprit “. Sola Spirit” aurait été mieux. Les premiers disciples du Christ n’avaient pas la Bible que nous avons aujourd’hui et ne disposaient que d’un enseignement oral et de quelques lettres ou peut-être de la Torah. Mais ils s’aimaient les uns les autres

Phl 2:2

Accomplissez ma joie, en étant semblables entre vous, en ayant le même amour, en étant d’un même accord, d’un même esprit.

Phl 2:3

Que rien ne se fasse par querelle ou par vanité, mais que, dans la modestie, chacun estime les autres mieux que soi-même.

Phl 2:4

Que chacun ne regarde pas à ses propres affaires, mais que chacun regarde aussi à celles des autres.

Phl 2:5

Ayez en vous cet esprit qui était aussi en Jésus-Christ :

Que s’est-il passé ? Nous avons aujourd’hui plus de 45 000 dénominations ou divisions qui coupent le Corps du Christ en morceaux. Comment cela s’est-il produit ?

Nous avons remplacé l’esprit vivant du Christ par la plus subtile de toutes les idoles…. la Bible ! Ou du moins ce que nous appelons dans chacune de nos divisions ou hérésies “la parole bien divisée”. Sans l’amour du Christ à servir et son esprit qui habite en nous, nous nous séparons et créons notre propre division sur la base de quelques détails que nous tenons dans notre orgueil pour plus vrais que les autres. Nous créons des dénominations pour savoir si les enfants peuvent être baptisés ou les adultes, car nous ne savons pas que c’est l’esprit qui nous baptise et non les rituels ou l’eau seulement.

DANS l’amour, nous pouvons accepter d’être en désaccord sur des détails mineurs. Nous pouvons accepter d’être en désaccord et nous le ferons tous les jours. Nous pouvons permettre au Seigneur lui-même d’interpréter son Écriture et il est le seul à pouvoir diviser correctement toute la parole de Dieu puisqu’il était la Parole en chair et en os.

Toutes les dénominations qui invoquent le Seigneur sont nos frères. En fait, toute l’humanité est notre frère et même nos pires ennemis. Pourquoi ? Pourquoi traiterions-nous tous les hommes comme nos frères et pas seulement nos camarades de la bande patriotique. Pourquoi ? Parce que tous les hommes ont été créés à la même image de Dieu et que c’est l’intention de Dieu que tous soient sauvés ! Tous les hommes sont des amis, mais nous ne sommes pas encore devenus des amis !

L’amour tend ses bras ouverts de bienvenue au monde entier. L’union se fait finalement sur la croix.

1Jo 4:12

Aucun homme n’a jamais vu Dieu. Si nous nous aimons les uns les autres, Dieu habite en nous, et son amour est parfait en nous.

Dieu est esprit. Nous ne voyons pas Dieu à travers de nouvelles révélations et idées, à moins qu’il ne s’agisse de révélations du Christ. Il était le seul moyen de voir Dieu dans la chair ! Regardez la vie qu’il a vécue sur la terre et maintenant la vie qu’il vit dans les lieux célestes avec vous aujourd’hui !

Jn 14:9

Jésus lui dit : Il y a si longtemps que je suis avec toi, et tu ne m’as pas connu, Philippe ? Celui qui m’a vu a vu le Père ; comment dis-tu donc : Montre-nous le Père ?

1Jo 4:13

Nous savons par là que nous demeurons en lui, et que lui demeure en nous, parce qu’il nous a donné de son Esprit.

C’est ainsi que nous pouvons faire l’expérience d’être en Christ. En s’aimant et non en se disputant et en se faisant la guerre sur des différences doctrinales. La fin ou le but de la doctrine est l’amour de Dieu, pas la division et la dispute.

Nous avons cet esprit du Christ qui vit en nous, alors pourquoi l’étouffer et l’attrister en coupant son corps en morceaux ? L’unité est parfaite dans l’amour.

Rom 13:10 ” L’amour ne fait pas de mal au prochain. C’est pourquoi l’amour est l’accomplissement de la loi.”

L’esprit du Christ, notre saint esprit, est le ciment qui nous maintient tous ensemble dans le corps du Christ. Nous ne devons donc pas ignorer ou nier son pouvoir et son potentiel. C’est le pouvoir d’être témoin du corps du Christ. C’est la sève de la vigne qui donne à chaque branche son fruit. Il est le sang et l’âme du corps et le corps du Christ ne peut vivre sans le Saint-Esprit.

Sola Spiritu, pas seulement Sola scriptura ! C’est un mauvais remplacement pour l’unité et l’amour dans l’esprit du Christ. Solo Amor ! Seulement l’amour tel qu’il a été défini par la vie de Jésus et ensuite écrit par les prophètes ! Jésus est le seul interprète de la Parole de Dieu et lorsque nous nous éloignons de cette vérité, nous pouvons nous mordre et nous tuer les uns les autres, même au nom de Dieu !

1Jo 1:7

Mais si nous marchons dans la lumière, comme il est dans la lumière, nous sommes en communion les uns avec les autres, et le sang de Jésus-Christ son Fils nous purifie de tout péché.

C’est cet esprit que nous avons tous en commun dans le Corps du Christ, l’église, l’ekklesia, ceux qui sont appelés par Lui ! Il a fait le chemin pour nous par son sacrifice sur la croix, maintenant nous avons le don versé en nous. Nous pouvons avoir un partage complet avec tous ceux qui le veulent.

Col 2:2

Afin que leurs cœurs soient réconfortés, étant liés par l’amour, et jusqu’à toutes les richesses de la pleine assurance de l’intelligence, jusqu’à la reconnaissance du mystère de Dieu, et du Père, et du Christ ;

C’est une belle façon de dire que nous sommes tous unis les uns aux autres dans le Corps du Christ. C’est une belle façon de dire que nous sommes tous unis les uns aux autres dans le Corps du Christ. Nous pouvons être encouragés à marcher dans l’amour les uns envers les autres et envers le monde par cet esprit. Cet esprit nous a déjà “tricotés ensemble dans l’amour”.

C’est l’amour qui nous a unis ! Ici, en grec, Paul a choisi Sumbibazo comme verbe traduit par “tricoter ensemble”. Ce mot signifie essentiellement “mettre ensemble” et dépend du contexte dans lequel il est utilisé. Il est utilisé comme “mettre ensemble dans son esprit, comparer” mais aussi comme “faire coalescer, joindre ensemble, mettre ensemble”.

C’est ainsi que le Créateur a créé notre corps physique dans le ventre de notre mère. Nos propres corps sont peut-être la meilleure façon de comprendre à quel point nous sommes en union avec notre tête, le Seigneur Christ. Nous devons nous accrocher à notre tête Christ et ne laisser aucun homme la séparer du corps. L’Église sans sa tête est une Église morte.

Col 2:3

En qui sont cachés tous les trésors de la sagesse et de la connaissance.

Col 2:4

Et je dis cela, afin que personne ne vous séduise par des paroles séduisantes.

La manière dont nous pouvons avoir l’unité et l’union nous est montrée chaque jour lorsque nous mangeons, dormons, marchons, aimons et vivons dans le corps qu’il nous a prêté.

Eph 4:16

De qui tout le corps, solidement assemblé et compacté par ce que chaque articulation fournit, selon l’action efficace dans la mesure de chaque partie, fait croître le corps pour son édification dans l’amour.

Chaque articulation, chaque organe, fibre et nerf se développe et s’assemble comme une tapisserie. Chaque partie forme un bel ensemble. Mais tout cela vient de la tête comme de la source et c’est le Christ. Et cela ne fonctionne que dans l’union et l’amour. Toute autre chose n’est que maladie et mort. La séparation des parties du corps ou la séparation des 45 000 dénominations et plus ! Le christianisme n’a pas été formé pour avoir de multiples saveurs mais une seule.

Lorsque nous sommes en harmonie, nous pouvons, comme le corps physique, nous réparer et grandir en un homme ou une femme.

Union PART II

A deeper look at Union reading the scripture written to us today

Paul Ellis’s words on Union :

« God made you so that you could participate in the overflowing love and life found within the Godhead. You were created to love and be loved and to share his divine life in spiritual union.

Manmade religion says you have to work hard before you can draw near to God and if you sin he will cast you aside, but the gospel of grace declares that one with the Lord, you are as holy and righteous as he is and your future is eternally secure. Our union with the Lord is intimate, unbreakable and the means by which we experience the abundant life that flows from the fullness of his love.

Union in the Bible

The word union does not appear in many English Bibles, but our union with the Lord is mentioned hundreds of times in scripture. It is found in the phrases like “God with us,” “Christ in you,” “in Christ,” “with Christ,” “with him,” and “in him” (see entry for Matt. 1:23). It’s in numerous promises (“I am with you always”) and word pictures (“I am the vine, you are the branches”). And union is implied in the word fellowship.

The word that is usually translated as fellowship (koinonia, 2842) literally means partnership, community (or common unity) or communion (or common union). Koinonia is not a verb in the sense of having fellowship after church. It is a noun that describes the common union believers have with each other and the Lord.

Union is more than relationship for it describes the mystical connection that all believers share with God the Father (Eph. 2:18, 1 John 1:2-3, 2:15), God the Son (1 Cor. 1:9, 10:16), and God the Holy Spirit (2 Cor. 13:14, Php. 2:1, 1 John 4:13). Our union also joins us to the church or the body of Christ (1 John 1:7). Koinonia-fellowship is about living fully out of our connection with Christ and his body with our hearts “knit together in love” (Col. 2:2). »

Now here I am looking into the verses Paul refers to »

Union with God through Christ through the gift they gave. That is the holy spirit. That is “my” trinity that I believe.

2Co 13:14

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.[f

Grace came when God gave His Son to the world in sin. They did not deserve it by God loved them. Grace came because of the Fathers love. They sent the comforter, the very holy spirit of Christ to dwell in us. So we now all fully share this spirit in us and we fully share being in Christ. Christ in us and us in Christ by the Grace of our Lord!

Phl 2:1

If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

Our Union is the full sharing not of the scripture, not of church, not of a race or country. All these cannot take the place of the “one sou;” “one mind union” that comes from having Christ living in each member of His body.

No matter if they are in Africa, Persia, China or the Good Ole USA! We have this union that bridges the generation gaps, and distances. It is the holy spirit that encourages us to love everyone to death. We have this same spirit of Christ that comforts us and it is because we all have the exact same spirit of Christ in us.

When we realize this truth we can act like ONE in harmony In Christ. But what happened?

Sola Scriptura was never needed in the first century church and they knew the love of Christ. They did love to the death. Why? IN the reformation we left following the Roman Empire controlled church and joined one just as weak when Luther and all claimed “Sola Scriptura” in the Protestant reformations

One thing is necessary. Union by the Spirit.” Sola Spirit” would have been better. The first disciples of Christ did not have the Bible we have today and only had oral teaching and some letters or perhaps some Torah. But they did love each other

Phl 2:2

Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

Phl 2:3

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

Phl 2:4

Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

Phl 2:5

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

What happened? We have more than 45,000 denominations or divisions cutting the Body of Christ into pieces today. How did this occur?

We replaced the living spirit of Christ with the most subtle of all idols….the Bible! Or at least what we in each of our divisions or heresies call “the rightly divided word” Without the Love of Christ to serve and the His spirit dwelling in us we break off and create our own division based on some details that we in our pride hold truer than the others. We start denominations over whether children can be baptized or adults, since we know not that the spirit is what baptizes us not rituals or water only.

IN love we can agree to disagree on minor details. We can agree to disagree and we will every day. We can allow the Lord Himself interpret His Scripture and He is the only one that can rightly divide the whole word of God since He was the Word in the Flesh.

All denominations that call on the Lord are our brothers. IN fact all mankind our brothers and even our worst enemies. Why? Why would we treat all men as our brothers and not just our fellow patriotic gang. Why/ Because all men were created in the same image of God and it is Gods intention that all be saved! AlL men are friends we just havn’t made into friends YET!

Love holds His open arms of welcome to the whole world. There is union finally on the cross.

1Jo 4:12

No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

God is spirit. We do not see God through new revelations and ideas, unless they are revelations of Christ. He was the only way to see God in the flesh! Look at the life he lived on the earth and now the life He lives in the heavenly places with you today!

Jhn 14:9

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?

1Jo 4:13

Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

This is the way we can experience being in Christ. By loving not arguing with each other and warring with other over doctrinal differences. The end or the purpose of the doctrine is the love of God, not division and stife.

We have this spirit of Christ living in us so why do we squelch and grieve it by cutting His body into pieces.. Unity is perfected in love.

Rom 13:10 “ Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.”

The spirit of Christ, our holy spirit, is the glue that holds all of us together in the body of Christ. So we should not ignore or deny its power and potential. It is the power to be witness of the body of Christ. It is the sap in from the Vine that give every branch its fruit. It is the life blood and soul of the Body and the body of Christ cannot live without the holy spirit.

Sola Spiritu not just Sola scriptura! That is a poor replacement for unity and love in the spirit of Christ. Solo Amor! Only the love as it was defined by the life of Jesus and then written down by the prophets! Jesus is the only interpreter of the Word of God and when we stray away from that truth, we may be biting and killing each other even in the name of God!

1Jo 1:7

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

It is this spirit that we all have in common in the Body of Christ, the church, the ekklesia, those who are called by Him! He has made the way for us through His sacrifice on the cross now we have the gift poured into us. We can have full sharing with all those who want it.

Col 2:2

That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

This is a beautiful way of saying we are all in union with each other in the Body of Christ. We can be encouraged to walk in love with each other and to the world through this spirit. This spirit has already “knit us together in love”

It is love that united us! Here in the Greek Paul chose Sumbibazo as the verb translated “knit together” The word basically means “to put together” and depends on the context it is used in. It is used as “to put together in one’s mind, to compare” But other places “to cause to coalesce, to join together, put together”

Being knit together this way is how the Creator has made our physical bodies in the womb. Our own bodies are perhaps the best way to understand how closely we are in Union with our Head the Lord Christ. We must hang tight with our head Christ and let no man separate it from the body. The Church without its head is a dead church.

Col 2:3

In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Col 2:4

And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.

The way we can have unity and union is shown to us everyday as we eat, sleep, walk, love and live in the body He has lent us.

Eph 4:16

From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

Every joint, every organ, fiber and nerve grows and is put together like a tapestry. Every part makes a beautiful whole. But it all comes from the head as the source and that is Christ. And it only works in Union and in Love. Any thing else is sickness and death. Seperation of the body parts or separation of the 45,000 or more denominations! Christianity was not formed to have multiple flavors but only one.

When we are in harmony we like the physical body, can repair and grow into a man or woman.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.[f

Grace came when God gave His Son to the world in sin. They did not deserve it by God loved them. Grace came because of the Fathers love. They sent the comforter, the very holy spirit of Christ to dwell in us. So we now all fully share this spirit in us and we fully share being in Christ. Christ in us and us in Christ by the Grace of our Lord!

Phl 2:1

If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

Our Union is the full sharing not of the scripture, not of church, not of a race or country. All these cannot take the place of the “one sou;” “one mind union” that comes from having Christ living in each member of His body.

No matter if they are in Africa, Persia, China or the Good Ole USA! We have this union that bridges the generation gaps, and distances. It is the holy spirit that encourages us to love everyone to death. We have this same spirit of Christ that comforts us and it is because we all have the exact same spirit of Christ in us.

When we realize this truth we can act like ONE in harmony In Christ. But what happened?

Sola Scriptura was never needed in the first century church and they knew the love of Christ. They did love to the death. Why? IN the reformation we left following the Roman Empire controlled church and joined one just as weak when Luther and all claimed “Sola Scriptura” in the Protestant reformations

One thing is necessary. Union by the Spirit.” Sola Spirit” would have been better. The first disciples of Christ did not have the Bible we have today and only had oral teaching and some letters or perhaps some Torah. But they did love each other

Phl 2:2

Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

Phl 2:3

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

Phl 2:4

Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

Phl 2:5

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

What happened? We have more than 45,000 denominations or divisions cutting the Body of Christ into pieces today. How did this occur?

We replaced the living spirit of Christ with the most subtle of all idols….the Bible! Or at least what we in each of our divisions or heresies call “the rightly divided word” Without the Love of Christ to serve and the His spirit dwelling in us we break off and create our own division based on some details that we in our pride hold truer than the others. We start denominations over whether children can be baptized or adults, since we know not that the spirit is what baptizes us not rituals or water only.

IN love we can agree to disagree on minor details. We can agree to disagree and we will every day. We can allow the Lord Himself interpret His Scripture and He is the only one that can rightly divide the whole word of God since He was the Word in the Flesh.

All denominations that call on the Lord are our brothers. IN fact all mankind our brothers and even our worst enemies. Why? Why would we treat all men as our brothers and not just our fellow patriotic gang. Why/ Because all men were created in the same image of God and it is Gods intention that all be saved! AlL men are friends we just havn’t made into friends YET!

Love holds His open arms of welcome to the whole world. There is union finally on the cross.

1Jo 4:12

No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

God is spirit. We do not see God through new revelations and ideas, unless they are revelations of Christ. He was the only way to see God in the flesh! Look at the life he lived on the earth and now the life He lives in the heavenly places with you today!

Jhn 14:9

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?

1Jo 4:13

Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

This is the way we can experience being in Christ. By loving not arguing with each other and warring with other over doctrinal differences. The end or the purpose of the doctrine is the love of God, not division and stife.

We have this spirit of Christ living in us so why do we squelch and grieve it by cutting His body into pieces.. Unity is perfected in love.

Rom 13:10 “ Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.”

The spirit of Christ, our holy spirit, is the glue that holds all of us together in the body of Christ. So we should not ignore or deny its power and potential. It is the power to be witness of the body of Christ. It is the sap in from the Vine that give every branch its fruit. It is the life blood and soul of the Body and the body of Christ cannot live without the holy spirit.

Sola Spiritu not just Sola scriptura! That is a poor replacement for unity and love in the spirit of Christ. Solo Amor! Only the love as it was defined by the life of Jesus and then written down by the prophets! Jesus is the only interpreter of the Word of God and when we stray away from that truth, we may be biting and killing each other even in the name of God!

1Jo 1:7

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

It is this spirit that we all have in common in the Body of Christ, the church, the ekklesia, those who are called by Him! He has made the way for us through His sacrifice on the cross now we have the gift poured into us. We can have full sharing with all those who want it.

Col 2:2

That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

This is a beautiful way of saying we are all in union with each other in the Body of Christ. We can be encouraged to walk in love with each other and to the world through this spirit. This spirit has already “knit us together in love”

It is love that united us! Here in the Greek Paul chose Sumbibazo as the verb translated “knit together” The word basically means “to put together” and depends on the context it is used in. It is used as “to put together in one’s mind, to compare” But other places “to cause to coalesce, to join together, put together”

Being knit together this way is how the Creator has made our physical bodies in the womb. Our own bodies are perhaps the best way to understand how closely we are in Union with our Head the Lord Christ. We must hang tight with our head Christ and let no man separate it from the body. The Church without its head is a dead church.

Col 2:3

In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Col 2:4

And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.

The way we can have unity and union is shown to us everyday as we eat, sleep, walk, love and live in the body He has lent us.

Eph 4:16

From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

Every joint, every organ, fiber and nerve grows and is put together like a tapestry. Every part makes a beautiful whole. But it all comes from the head as the source and that is Christ. And it only works in Union and in Love. Any thing else is sickness and death. Seperation of the body parts or separation of the 45,000 or more denominations! Christianity was not formed to have multiple flavors but only one.

When we are in harmony we like the physical body, can repair and grow into a man or woman.

Union

Un regard approfondi sur l’Union en lisant les écritures qui nous sont adressées aujourd’hui.

Les mots de Paul Ellis sur l’Union :

” Dieu vous a créés pour que vous puissiez participer à l’amour et à la vie débordants que l’on trouve dans la divinité. Vous avez été créés pour aimer et être aimés et pour partager sa vie divine dans l’union spirituelle.

Les religions artificielles disent qu’il faut travailler dur avant de pouvoir s’approcher de Dieu et que si vous péchez, il vous rejettera, mais l’évangile de la grâce déclare qu’en étant un avec le Seigneur, vous êtes aussi saint et juste que lui et que votre avenir est assuré pour l’éternité. Notre union avec le Seigneur est intime, incassable et le moyen par lequel nous faisons l’expérience de la vie abondante qui découle de la plénitude de son amour.

L’union dans la Bible

Le mot “union” n’apparaît pas dans de nombreuses Bibles anglaises, mais notre union avec le Seigneur est mentionnée des centaines de fois dans les Écritures. On la trouve dans des expressions comme “Dieu avec nous”, “Christ en vous”, “en Christ”, “avec le Christ”, “avec lui” et “en lui” (voir l’entrée pour Matt. 1:23). Elle est présente dans de nombreuses promesses (“Je suis avec vous tous les jours”) et images (“Je suis la vigne, vous êtes les sarments”). Et l’union est implicite dans le mot communion.

Le mot qui est habituellement traduit par communion (koinonia, 2842) signifie littéralement partenariat, communauté (ou unité commune) ou communion (ou union commune). Koinonia n’est pas un verbe dans le sens d’avoir des relations amicales après l’église. C’est un substantif qui décrit l’union commune des croyants entre eux et avec le Seigneur.

L’union est plus qu’une relation car elle décrit le lien mystique que tous les croyants partagent avec Dieu le Père (Eph. 2:18, 1 Jean 1:2-3, 2:15), Dieu le Fils (1 Cor. 1:9, 10:16), et Dieu le Saint-Esprit (2 Cor. 13:14, Php. 2:1, 1 Jean 4:13). Notre union nous relie également à l’église ou au corps du Christ (1 Jean 1:7). La koinonia – l’amitié – consiste à vivre pleinement de notre lien avec le Christ et son corps, nos cœurs étant “unis dans l’amour” (Col. 2:2). “

Maintenant, je me penche sur les versets auxquels Paul se réfère “

Eph 2:18

Car c’est par lui que nous avons accès au Père, par un seul et même Esprit.

S’il n’avait pas envoyé le Consolateur, qui est le don du Saint-Esprit, comment aurions-nous pu être unis ? Le Père est venu vivre dans son fils Jésus et Jésus-Christ a élu domicile dans le cœur de tous ceux qui ont confiance en lui. Maintenant nous avons un lien avec le père qui est incassable.

1 Jean 1 :1-3

” 1Jo 1:1

” Ce qui était dès le commencement, ce que nous avons entendu, ce que nous avons vu de nos yeux, ce que nous avons contemplé et que nos mains ont touché, c’est ce que nous proclamons au sujet de la Parole de vie.

1Jo 1:2

La vie est apparue ; nous l’avons vue et nous en rendons témoignage, et nous vous annonçons la vie éternelle, qui était auprès du Père et qui nous est apparue.

1Jean 1:3

Nous vous annonçons ce que nous avons vu et entendu, afin que vous aussi soyez en communion avec nous. Et notre communion est avec le Père et avec son Fils, Jésus-Christ. “

Nous sommes en union et en relation indéfectible avec notre Grand Frère, Jésus et notre Dieu Père éternellement ! Rien ne peut nous séparer de leur amour ! Nous sommes dans leur famille.

Nous pouvons cependant nous laisser aller et nous séparer, si nous le voulons, mais seulement par notre propre choix. Mais puisque nous sommes scellés par le Saint-Esprit, l’Esprit nous convaincra toujours et nous ramènera à Dieu. Nous pouvons essayer de quitter le Saint-Esprit mais il ne nous quittera jamais.

Lorsque nous quittons son amour, il est triste. Pourquoi notre rupture de communion fraternelle dérange-t-elle Dieu ? Pas parce qu’il a besoin d’un autre petit pétale de rose dans son jardin ou d’un autre esclave pour faire son travail ! Mais un Père qui connaît tous vos cheveux veut simplement le meilleur pour vous ! Même la plupart des pères terrestres veulent cela pour leurs propres enfants. Dieu n’est pas égoïste, ni irritable, il est pur amour. Lorsque nous nous détournons de l’amour de Dieu pour des idoles ou tout ce qui est de ce monde en dehors de Dieu, nous perdons. Il veut que nous soyons bénis.

1Jo 2:15

N’aimez pas le monde ni rien de ce monde. Si quelqu’un aime le monde, l’amour du Père[fn] n’est pas en lui.

1Jean 2:16

Car tout ce qui est dans le monde – la convoitise de la chair, la convoitise des yeux, l’orgueil de la vie – ne vient pas du Père, mais du monde.

Le monde, c’est-à-dire le Kosmos en grec, est l’ordre. Mais depuis qu’Adam a cessé d’aimer Dieu et a commencé à travailler sur ses propres systèmes de ce qui est bien et mal, nous avons un ordre différent. Un système mondial sans l’amour de Dieu et un système mourant. Ce Kosmos ou monde n’est pas ce que Dieu avait prévu ou créé au début. Et comme Dieu l’avait prévenu dans la Genèse, prendre cette voie (manger le fruit) conduirait à la mort. Non seulement pour l’homme, mais aussi pour toute la création divine.

Nous vivons dans un monde temporaire et un ersatz. Le monde réel sera restauré et nous y vivrons pour toujours.

1Jo 2:17

Le monde et ses désirs passent, mais celui qui fait la volonté de Dieu vit pour toujours.

Le corps et la chair seront éliminés d’une manière ou d’une autre. Notre être physique mourra mais pas l’homme intérieur qui est le Christ. Le noyau et l’enveloppe doivent mourir. Le vase d’argile sera brisé.

Lui, le trésor intérieur, est éternel et l’homme intérieur, notre Christ intérieur, fera toujours la volonté de Dieu. Nos corps brisés ne le peuvent pas car ils sont trop faibles. Mais l’Esprit en nous est fort ! Il fera la volonté de Dieu et vivra pour toujours ! L’esprit nous rappelle donc de marcher par l’esprit, d’aimer Dieu et de ne pas nous laisser distraire par les choses brillantes et sexy du monde. Nous avons du travail à faire ! Le travail de Dieu ! Mais si la chair est trop faible, elle aussi disparaîtra. Mais pas notre véritable homme intérieur.

Eph 1:3

Loué soit le Dieu et Père de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ, qui nous a bénis dans les royaumes célestes de toute bénédiction spirituelle en Christ.

Eph 1:20

qu’il a exercée lorsqu’il a ressuscité le Christ d’entre les morts et l’a fait asseoir à sa droite dans les royaumes célestes,

Quand Jésus est mort, nous sommes morts aussi. Quand il est ressuscité, nous l’étions aussi. Quand il est monté à sa position permanente, nous l’avons fait aussi. Nous sommes dans les cieux MAINTENANT ! Pas un jour après notre mort.

Nous sommes assis avec le Christ à la droite de Dieu dès maintenant. Même en vivant notre petite vie sur terre, nous vivons éternellement dans les lieux célestes en attendant que la terre revienne à la normale. Nous vivons la volonté de Dieu en attendant que son royaume prenne le dessus sur tous les royaumes de ce monde.

Nous avons une union ou un partage complet avec Jésus parce que nous sommes en Lui.

Nous sommes assis avec le Christ à la droite de Dieu dès maintenant. Même en vivant notre petite vie sur terre, nous vivons éternellement dans les lieux célestes en attendant que la terre redevienne normale.

Nous avons une union ou un partage complet avec Jésus parce que nous sommes en lui.

1Co 1:8

Il vous gardera aussi fermement jusqu’à la fin, afin que vous soyez irréprochables au jour de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ.

1Co 1:9

Dieu est fidèle, lui qui vous a appelés à la communion avec son Fils, Jésus-Christ notre Seigneur.

Dieu notre Père est fidèle quand nous ne le sommes pas. Il est là pour nous soutenir et nous établir jusqu’au point final. Quand est-ce que c’est ? Le jour de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ, lorsqu’il renversera tous ses ennemis et fera tomber sous ses pieds tout ce qui s’oppose à son royaume. Et cela inclut la mort et toutes ses souffrances. Ce sera le Royaume de Dieu sur la terre comme un Paradis renouvelé dans le ciel et sur la terre ! Pour quoi d’autre vaut-il la peine de vivre aujourd’hui dans ce monde qui se meurt ?

1Co 10:16

La coupe de bénédiction que nous bénissons, n’est-elle pas la communion au sang du Christ ? Le pain que nous rompons, n’est-ce pas la communion au corps du Christ ?

1Co 10:17

Car nous sommes plusieurs et nous formons un seul pain et un seul corps, car nous participons tous à ce seul pain.

Il n’y a qu’un seul Seigneur, un seul Pain de Vie. Nous en avons tous pris une part, mais nous participons tous pleinement au Corps du Christ, même si nous prenons chacun une part particulière de ce Corps. Chacun de nous a un rôle spécifique car nous sommes des parties partielles de son Corps.

” Unité et diversité dans le corps du Christ.

En effet, de même que nous avons plusieurs membres dans un seul corps, mais que tous les membres n’ont pas la même fonction, de même nous, qui sommes plusieurs, nous sommes un seul corps en Christ, et individuellement membres les uns des autres.

a. Plusieurs membres dans un seul corps : L’Église est un tout unifié (un seul corps), mais nous sommes distincts au sein de ce corps (membres individuels). Dans le corps du Christ, il y a unité mais pas uniformité.

b. Membres individuels les uns des autres : Nous commettons une erreur lorsque nous négligeons l’un ou l’autre aspect ; l’unité ne devrait jamais être promue au détriment de l’individualité, et l’individualité ne devrait jamais diminuer l’unité essentielle de l’église en Christ ; Il est notre base commune, nous sommes un seul corps en Christ.

Nous avons une union spirituelle avec le Corps du Christ. Seulement parce que nous avons rompu le Pain de Vie et l’avons consommé. Maintenant, nous sommes dans son corps par la grâce. Nous ne pouvons rien faire de notre propre chef, sauf croire en Lui pour qu’il fasse le travail en nous. Marchez dans l’amour, marchez en Lui

Rom 12:4

De même que nous avons plusieurs membres dans un seul corps, et que tous les membres n’ont pas la même fonction :

Pourtant, chacun de nous dans le corps a reçu des tâches bien précises à accomplir. Où nous en sommes alors que nous grandissons dans la foi. Nous ne pouvons pas tous être les yeux pour avoir de nouvelles révélations. Nous ne pouvons pas tous être les mains qui déplacent les montagnes. Nous ne pouvons pas tous être les pieds pour voyager dans le monde entier en mission. Nous ne pouvons pas tous être la bouche pour prophétiser ou l’estomac pour digérer. Chacun a une fonction et nous mûrissons tous dans cette fonction, par la foi qu’il nous a donnée. Et tout est par sa grâce, rien ne vient de nous.

Rom 12:5

Ainsi, nous qui sommes plusieurs, nous formons un seul corps en Christ, et tous sont membres les uns des autres.

1Co 12:20

Mais maintenant, ils sont plusieurs membres, et pourtant un seul corps.

1Co 12:21

Et l’œil ne peut dire à la main : Je n’ai pas besoin de toi ; ni la tête aux pieds : Je n’ai pas besoin de toi.

1Co 12:22

Il est vrai que les membres du corps, qui paraissent plus faibles, sont bien plus nécessaires :

1Co 12:23

Et les membres du corps que nous estimons moins honorables, nous les honorons plus abondamment, et nos parties disgracieuses ont plus d’élégance.

Le Corps du Christ, comme notre propre corps physique, ne fonctionne bien que lorsqu’il est en harmonie. Tous les membres sont aussi importants les uns que les autres. Si l’un d’eux est blessé, tous le sont. Vous ne pouvez pas couper un organe ou perdre un orteil sans que le corps entier le ressente. On ne peut pas non plus couper des branches de la sève de la vigne et s’attendre à ce qu’elle vive longtemps.

Il y a union et il ne devrait jamais y avoir de division dans le corps du Christ. Pourtant, nous avons divisé son corps en tant de dénominations. Ce ne sont pas des saveurs de Christ que Dieu a voulu diversifier,

Non !! Dieu nous a prévenus d’être d’un seul esprit et d’une seule âme, mais les divisions se sont glissées quand l’orgueil de la connaissance a gonflé certains et qu’ils ont abandonné l’amour du Christ pour leurs doctrines préférées. Alors que la doctrine est l’amour. Rappelez-vous quand Jésus a dit aux Pharisiens “une maison divisée ne peut tenir” ?

L’unité, l’union, la réconciliation, la paix et l’amour viennent de Dieu.

Union

A deeper look at Union reading the scripture written to us today.

Paul Ellis’s words on Union :

« God made you so that you could participate in the overflowing love and life found within the Godhead. You were created to love and be loved and to share his divine life in spiritual union.

Manmade religion says you have to work hard before you can draw near to God and if you sin he will cast you aside, but the gospel of grace declares that one with the Lord, you are as holy and righteous as he is and your future is eternally secure. Our union with the Lord is intimate, unbreakable and the means by which we experience the abundant life that flows from the fullness of his love.

Union in the Bible

The word union does not appear in many English Bibles, but our union with the Lord is mentioned hundreds of times in scripture. It is found in the phrases like “God with us,” “Christ in you,” “in Christ,” “with Christ,” “with him,” and “in him” (see entry for Matt. 1:23). It’s in numerous promises (“I am with you always”) and word pictures (“I am the vine, you are the branches”). And union is implied in the word fellowship.

The word that is usually translated as fellowship (koinonia, 2842) literally means partnership, community (or common unity) or communion (or common union). Koinonia is not a verb in the sense of having fellowship after church. It is a noun that describes the common union believers have with each other and the Lord.

Union is more than relationship for it describes the mystical connection that all believers share with God the Father (Eph. 2:18, 1 John 1:2-3, 2:15), God the Son (1 Cor. 1:9, 10:16), and God the Holy Spirit (2 Cor. 13:14, Php. 2:1, 1 John 4:13). Our union also joins us to the church or the body of Christ (1 John 1:7). Koinonia-fellowship is about living fully out of our connection with Christ and his body with our hearts “knit together in love” (Col. 2:2). »

Now here I am looking into the verses Paul refers to »

Eph 2:18

For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.

If He did not sent the Comforter which is the gift of holy spirit from the Holy spirit how could we ever have union? The Father came to live in His son Jesus and Jesus Christ has made his home in the hearts of all who trust in Him. Now we have a connection with the father that is unbreakable.

1 John 1 :1-3

« 1Jo 1:1

« That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.

1Jo 1:2

The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us.

1Jo 1:3

We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. »

We are in union and an unbreakable relationship with our Big Brother, Jesus and our Father God eternally! Nothing can separate us from their love! We are in their family.

We can however let go and seperate our selves, if we want to, but only by our own choice. But since we are sealed by the holy spirit the spirit will always convict and bring us back to God. We can try to leave the holy spirit but He will never leave us.

When we leave His love He is sad. Why does our broken fellowship bother God? Not because He needs another little rose petal in His Garden or another slave to do His work! But a Father who knows your every hair just wants the best for you! Even most earthly fathers want that for their own children. God is not selfish not petulant, He is pure Love. When we turn away from Gods love for idols or anything of this world apart form God we lose. He wants us blessed.

1Jo 2:15

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father[fn] is not in them.

1Jo 2:16

For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.

The world meaning the Kosmos in Greek is order. But since Adam stopped loving God and began working on his own systems of what is right and wrong, we have a different order. A world system without God’s love and a dying one. This Kosmos or world was not what God intended or created in the beginning. And as God had warned in Genesis taking this route (eating the fruit) would lead to death. Not only in man, but all of Gods Creation as well.

We are living in a temporary and ersatz world. The real world will be restored and we will live in it forever.

1Jo 2:17

The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.

The body and flesh will be eliminated one way or the other. Our physical being will die but not the inner man who is Christ. The kernel and the shell must die. The vessel of clay will be broken.

He, the treasure inside, is eternal and the inner man, our Christ within will always do the will of God. Our broken bodies cannot because they are too weak. But in the Spirit in us is strong! He will do the will of God and live forever! So we are reminded by the spirit to walk by the spirit and love God and not be distracted by the shiny and sexy things of the world. We have work to do! Gods work! But if the flesh is too weak, it too will pass away. But not our real inner man.

Eph 1:3

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.

Eph 1:20

he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,

When Jesus died so did we. When He was Risen so were we. When He ascended to His permanant position so did we. We are in the heavenlies NOW! Not some day after we die.

We are seated with Christ at Gods right hand even now. Even living our little life on earth we are living eternally in the Heavenly places waiting for the earth to get back to normal. We are living Gods will waiting for His Kingdom to take over all the Kingdoms of this world.

We have union or full sharing with Jesus because we are in Him

We are seated with Christ at Gods right hand even now. Even living our little life on earth we are living eternally in the Heavenly places waiting for the earth to get back to normal.

We have union or full sharing with Jesus because we are in Him

1Co 1:8

He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1Co 1:9

God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

God our Father is faithful when we are not. He is there to sustain and establish us all the way to the end point. When is that? The Day of Our Lord Jesus Christ when he shall put down all His enemies and all opposing His kingdom under His feet. And that includes death and all its pains. That will be the Kingdom of God on earth as a renewed Paradise in heaven and earth! What else is worth living for today in this dying world??

1Co 10:16

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

1Co 10:17

For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.

There is only one Lord, one Bread of Life. We all have taken a part of that but we all share fully in the Body of Christ even though we each take a particular part of that Body. Each of us has a specific role as were are partiular parts of His Body.

« Unity and diversity in the body of Christ.

For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.

a. Many members in one body: The church is a unified whole (one body), yet we are distinct within that one body (individually members). In the body of Christ there is unity but not uniformity.

b. Individually members of one another: We err when we neglect either aspect; unity should never be promoted at the expense of individuality, and individuality should never diminish the church’s essential unity in Christ; He is our common ground, we are one body in Christ.

We have a spiritual union with the Body of Christ. Only because we broke the Bread of Life and consumed Him. Now we are in His Body by Grace. No deeds of our own except believing in HIm to do the work in us. Walk in Love walk in Him

Rom 12:4

For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

Yet each of us in the Body has a been given very specific jobs to do. Where we are as we grow in faith. We all cannot be the eyes to have new revelations. We cannot all be the hands that move mountains. We cannot all be the feet to travel arround the world in missions. We cannot all be the mouth to prophecy or the stomach to digest. Each has a function and we each mature into it, by the faith that He gave to us. And all is by His grace not anything came from us.

Rom 12:5

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

1Co 12:20

But now are they many members, yet but one body.

1Co 12:21

And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

1Co 12:22

Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:

1Co 12:23

And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.

The Body of Christ like our own physical body works well only when it is in harmony. All the members are just as important. IF one hurts all do. You cannot cut an organ out or lose a toe without the whole body feeling it. Neither can you cut branches off of the life sap of the vine and expect it to live for long.

There is union and never should there be division in the Body of Christ,. Yet we have divided His body in so many denominations. These are not flavors of Christ that God wanted to diversify,

No!! God warned us to be of one mind and one soul yet divisions crept in when the pride of knowledge puffed up some and they left the Love of Christ for their favorite doctrines. While the doctrine is love. Remember when Jesus told the Pharisees « a house divided cannot stand »?

Unity Union Reconciliation Peace and Love come from God.
