The whole gospel is the gospel of grace. It is Christ alone. But which Christ are we talking about? Which Jesus are you trusting in?
Is it baby Jesus who appears each Christmas?
Is it the tolerant teacher who was friendly to sinners?
Is it Jesus on the cross dying for the sins of the world?
Hopefully, it is none of the above.
This may shock you but none of these Jesuses is particularly good news. There is only one Jesus that saves, delivers, heals, rescues, and gives new life, and that is the Risen Jesus, seated at the right hand of God.
The resurrection is not simply an Easter sermon. It is the reason the good news is good.
Baby Jesus is good news but it is not good enough.
Jesus the friend of sinners is good news but it is not good enough.
Jesus dying on the cross is certainly very good news but it is not good enough. A dead Jesus saves no one.
If Jesus had not been raised to new life, then everything he did was for nought.
Consider the evangelist who tells sinners, “Jesus died on the cross for your sins.”
That’s wonderful but how do we know Jesus’ death was a sufficient sacrifice? How do we know that all our sins – past, present, and future – have been eternally forgiven? Answer: Because Jesus was raised from the dead.
He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification. (Rom 4:25)
It is because Jesus has been raised that you have been justified and made wholly righteous by God. This is the good news.
Selah.
The resurrection’s the thing
A gospel which proclaims the cross but not the resurrection is not the whole gospel. A gospel which proclaims a dead Jesus but not a living, all-conquering, ruling and reigning King Jesus, is not the whole gospel.
If you would preach the whole gospel, then tell the whole story, not the one that ends at Calvary.
Why am I telling you this?
I recently heard a story about a man called Stan who battled with alcoholism for more than 40 years. (The story is told by Bob George in his book Classic Christianity.) Stan had given his life to Jesus but nothing changed. The drinking continued as before.
One night the man came home in such a state that his wife called Bob George. “Please come and talk to him.” Bob went around and was inspired to ask the following question:
Stan, when you accepted Christ, which Jesus did you believe in? Did you have in mind an honorable man who lived 2000 years ago before and died on a cross? Stan, did you accept Jesus the man? Or did you accept Jesus Christ the God who became a man and was raised from the dead? The Lord Jesus who is alive today and offers his life to you?
Stan replied that he had put his faith in Jesus the man. Bob asked if he was willing to put his trust in Jesus the living God. Stan said he was, and he was delivered from alcoholism that very night.
What you believe determines what you see
If you don’t believe that Jesus heals, guess what, you won’t get healed. If you don’t believe that Jesus conquered death in order that we might enjoy new life here and now, guess what. You won’t experience new life here and now. Your life will be no different from your unsaved neighbor’s, except that you might dress up and go to church on Sundays.
The outcome of the gospel is not merely the forgiveness of sins, as wonderful as that is. It is literally new life – his life.
What does this new life look like? It looks like freedom. It is the prisoner freed from her captivity and the alcoholic liberated from his dependency.
This doesn’t mean that if you are sick or struggling with addiction, you are not fully saved. If you believe Jesus is Lord and that God raised him from the dead, then you are saved! One-hundred percent saved. Rest in God’s promise and let nothing move you.
But at the same time, don’t befriend your enemies.
My point is this: many Christians settle at the cross. They are so grateful for grace and forgiveness that they camp at Calvary and miss the resurrection. They lead others to the cross and no further and the result is powerless, fruitless Christianity.
God saved us so that we might live, really live here and now. Eternal life is knowing God in your present circumstances and trials (John 17:3). It’s a whole new reality.
Which Jesus?
The gospel of grace reveals a certain Jesus and it is this one:
This good news is about his Son, our Lord Jesus Christ! As a human, he was from the family of David. But the Holy Spirit proved that Jesus is the powerful Son of God, because he was raised from death. (Rom 1:3-4, CEV)
Confess Jesus as Lord and you shall be saved, but do you know what the word “Lord” means? It means Jesus has power and authority. It means he is the living king (not a dead martyr); he is on the throne (not on the cross).
When you proclaim the Lord Jesus over your addictions and failings, you are making a bold declaration of faith. You’re saying:
Addiction (or illness), you have a strong grip on me but the Lord Jesus is stronger still. I cannot defeat you in my strength, but let me tell you about Jesus my God at whose name every knee shall bow, including yours.
What does James say? Does he say, “Submit yourselves to Jesus the tolerant teacher”? “Submit yourselves to Jesus the dead Messiah”? No!
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (James 4:7)
As Stan’s story illustrates, the devil doesn’t flee from those who know Jesus as man. But those who know their God shall be strong and do exploits.
They shall walk through the fires of life and not be burned (Is 43:2).
ripeka123 // December 12, 2012 at 3:14 am // ReplyHi Paul. I have been wondering for awhile if you have considered making your blog material more searchable. What I find happens is that I am having a conversation with friends about grace and someone quotes part of a bible verse that challenges what I am saying. And then I think “hey didnt Paul write something about that?” But then I am often unable to find it again as the archives are not searchable apart from short hash tags.A good example is the phrase “work out your salvation with fear and trembling”.The only other thing I can think of is to hashtag key biblical phrases but this could be cumbersome in the index?Perhaps it is possible to put a searchable site engine onto your hosted web blog that would search through the text of your posts? Sorry but I am not IT savvy enough to know what is possible and what is not.Thanks anyway for bothering to write the material in the first place. Your material together with discussions with Christian friends is changing my relationship with Jesus, and it’s great!
The Rainbow was first mentioned in the Scriptures when Noah landed and was safe on ground
The Rainbow was sign to show the covenant, the promise of God that man had hope.
Noah found grace. A man like you or me with passions and weaknesses. But he found grace because he believed God was good. So God could be good to him.
Gen 7:12
And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
This man went through the test for a period of forty days. The rain fell for forty days and forty nights. Jesus was tempted and fasted the same number of days. The Israelites walked int the wilderness for forty years. . Moses spent the same number of days communing with God on Mount Sinai. . Many trials and test come with the number forty.
But Noah came through it all and was given a gift. It was a promise from on high. When the rain stopped God made a promise, a Beit בְּרִית. God made a treaty and a promise to never destroy the earth with water. He did not mention fire , did you notice? God did not forget Noah. Noah found grace with God. But so did all mankind. Since all men came through Noah and all men found grace with God. Through Gods promised seed Jesus, the seed of the woman Mary.
Gen 8:1
And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters aswaged;
Later came the promise :
Gen 9:11
And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
God promised and this was the promise of all His promises…..Jesus!
Gen 9:12
And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations
So we have a promise from God there will be no more flood to destroy the earth. And then God gave us a token, the beautiful rainbow! It is a token, a sign of the Promise and we know the Promise is a person named Jesus the Christ. He was the Man and God in man. This was an agreement between Man (and all nature) with GOD. That was symbolized in the rainbow.
The beautiful rainbow is Jesus. The spirit of prophecy is Jesus. The Grace that Noah found in his rest is Jesus.
The word bow is an English root but the idea goes so deep that the Hebrew word for rainbow is the same word for a Archery bow also. . קֶשֶׁת qešeṯ. And so this was Gods weapon, do you see?.
How was God going to destroy the works of the devil. Not by wiping His own beautiful creation out. No, that was not God but the enemy but God was one step ahead of the enemies plan to destroy mankind. Off course the enemy would destroy man because man was made in Gods own image. If Satan could not hurt God he could hurt all God made. And the two do not get along together at all.
That is why I believe the Jews of the time still had Adam’s myopia and saw God through angry glasses.The only saw God through Jesus glasses when the Son of God came to Bethlehem. I do not believe my Father the Creator would willful destroy his own children, That would not be my God! I think that is the Dark on sends. Floods,and Fire. Destruction is not one of the good and perfect gifts my Father hands out to his own.
God was one ahead of split foot as he always is because Satan only can calculate what will happen and then take credit for it. But God is the only Eternal One and the only Creator. . He knows every detail of the future. And has already been there. So Satan is limited and always is outsmarted. Like Wile E Coyote every time the enemy tries to hurt God and his people it backfires back on him! . God made sure he had a man to overcome and be reborn. This was Noah. Noah was Gods Grace to man. Noah means rest.
And he signed the contract with a bow in the clouds. Such a beautiful weapon. A sword bathed in the heavens. Love was coming in the form of a servant. God came down to wash the feet of men. The weapon of the Light of the world walking with all his splendour through a cloudy earth. This was Gods doing and Gods Grace. And for man this was our rest! And it was shown in the Rainbow.
It is so like God to pour His light through a filter to make all the colors of the rainbow which means all colors possible. Why? Because all colors are what makes pure white light. And like His Son walked amonst us in his many colored walk of love. Jesus died for us and gave us His spirit. That promise keeps I think Jesus deserves to be associated with the rainbow. Not Noah. Not Gays. Not Lubavicher Rebbe. But Jesus
Now that the Light is being revealed more and more by His Body. The Living spirit of God, it is like a rainbow breaking down all the colors of God so we can see. We could never appreciate all the colors of nature when they are all together because that would be pure white.
Eph 3:9
And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
Eph 3:10
To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
Eph 3:11
According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
We have become the rainbow. We as the Church, the Body of Christ are here today to reveal, break down and paint the beauty of God love to the world! We are here so all men can see the beauty of God. We are the prisms to reflect the beauty of God for all to see! The wisdom of God is not bland or boring, but shown in multi-colored and infinitely interesting pattern! That was Gods covenant and promise to Noah and to us today. This was and is Gods eternal purpose.
This was the rainbow. A beautiful image of refraction like a prism. Colors broken down by their wavelenth. The Great designer and architect forms an arch like a perfect circle out of pure light.. The whole theory of light and energy is such a mystical way for God to seal the promise and give us proof.
Every time a storm blows over, Even after the worst, you can often find the reassuring rainbow, as the sunlight returns. Ever time we see these manifestations of Gods glory we should think Yes thank you Noah, but most of all God for giving your son and sealing the only Covenant there is. LOVE.
The Covenant to end all Covenants and contracts……The blood of Jesus sealed it well. And there need be no other Contract. Especially the counterfeit Contract with the devil sealed in a rainbow.
Now recently we have seen the devil steal the symbol and give it to his servants and sodomites.
Also lesser known is the heart of this blasphemy is symbolizing the Noahide laws with a rainbow.
This is becoming a strong threat to deny Jesus and bring us back under law. Laws determined by our enemy the spirit of anti christ. They would use this most beautiful symbol to work against Jesus Christ and grace to bring us all into bondage again. They would tell us that Noah and God made an agreement but deny that God had anything to do with sending the real Messiah to Israel. They would have an an Anti-christ rule under the rainbow!! This off course cannot see the ugliness of Sodom or homosexuality.
The Noadidists have began a lie that God made a special covenant with not only Israel but all mankind since all men descend from Noah. That is true. But there is no covenant with God outside the promise of Jesus Christ. When they try to bring all men of all the earth under a set of rules without Christ, the are planning a new world religion against Christ. May God stop them from implementing a world without Christ!
The Rainbow represented and always will represent the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
The Noahide laws are the same as denying the grace of God and going back into the Law.
Paul said in his letter to th Galatians, twice in a row that such persons should be cursed.
“I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—
which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ.
But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!
As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!”
They are spitting and blaspheming in the face of God by touting the rainbow as freedom to sodomize and be free to do what ever you want outside of Christ.. And then make eliminate th grace that Noah found! By slyly introducing new rules under the banner of Noah! All that so they can l eliminate the Christians by law! What a wicked plan!
That is a hell of a blasphemy and a damn theft of all that the rainbow means. Every time I look up an and see a rainbow, I think “Thank you God for planning Jesus my Savior long ago in Genesis. Actually from way before you set the foundations. Thank you for the great beauty in manifold worlds like this phenomenon called a rainbow. A weapon in the skies. And now they stole this sign from Gods Gospel. I think the truth Is that the Rainbow has always represented Gods Covenant with Man . It was only through Jesus and not through some damn Noahide laws denying Christ.
Those particular people who push these laws are servants to Satan himself. How dare you steal our banne! May God stop you! May God curse you if you are fighting Christ! . The rainbow is our banner, our Token, our signature, our prophecy and sign that He is here with us and He is soon coming back to heal , and yes also protect those who call on His name. This is our sign of our Promise the Lord Jesus Christ!
Yes, this is a Test by Miles Mathis First published March 18, 2020 I keep going back to Neil Degrasse Tyson admitting to Steven Colbert this corona fake is a test on the Late Show. “A test to see if we will believe scientists.” Sorry, Neil, I fail that one with a score of zero. I don’t trust you or Steven at all. In fact, I don’t even believe you are a real scientist. I think you are just an actor reading from Teleprompters. But there is one thing I know for sure: no one pushing this coronahoax deserves the name of scientist, no matter what degrees he may have or what chair he may inhabit. But that is not why I am here today. I am here because watching that clip made me realize how utterly lost these people like Tyson, Colbert, and those feeding them scripts really are. To see them smiling broadly and saying this stuff to canned applause was like watching damned spirits running gleefully through the gates of Hell. Because, yes, Neil, this is a test, but it isn’t a test by you and your cabal on us unwashed masses, to see what level of your lies we will buy this month. It is a test UPON YOU, one that you aren’t even aware you are taking. All of life is a test, for everyone alive. We are all writing our own stories day by day, and the form those stories take determine the advancement of our spirits. So as the governors write these grand fictions, they aren’t only trying to determine your response, for their greater profit and control, they are unwittingly writing their own life stories, where they have accepted the role of bad guy. They appear to think it all doesn’t matter, since life is a stage anyway, where the bad guy is the best role—besides being the most profitable one. But in thinking this way they have trapped themselves in this lowest level of thought and existence, ignoring the level above that. This is a grave error, because the level above determines the value of everything at their level. Being trapped in this lowest level, they think value is determined by bank accounts or mundane authority, but it isn’t. Value is determined by spiritual enrichment: has the story you have written about yourself made you a bigger, better person, or has it made you a smaller, nastier person? Watching Tyson and Colbert leaves us in no least doubt: they are becoming smaller and nastier by the minute, so those controlling them must be digressing even faster. We see the same thing with someone like Tom Hanks, who started out cute and cuddly back in the Big or Splash days, but is now turning himself into some sort of lying monster. He looks effing awful, and it isn’t just because he is getting old. . . it is because he has chosen to join the monsters. Yes, he’s 63 now, but he’s looked like garbage for two decades now. The last time he looked decent was in Castaway, but that was 20 years ago. You have to ask why his eyes are disappearing into his face, and why he looks so forlorn, so castaway. You will say it is because he isn’t sleeping, but ask yourself why he isn’t sleeping. We see this look on all these people, since it is what we might call their signature. As perhaps the best example we see the same phenomenon from James Franco, another one from the families. He is only 41 but his eyes have been disappearing into his face since he was 25. When he hits 63, will he even be able to see at all? It is doubtful, since all these people seem to be blind to what the rest of us know by heart: evil has consequences. Lying, stealing, and hoaxing aren’t just games you are playing on a stupid populace, they are real events imprinting directly on your own spirits. As you become smaller, you look smaller. As you become nastier, you look nastier. It isn’t rocket science. And even more important than the way your face looks, is the way your soul looks. Because once you die, you can ditch your face, but you can’t ditch your soul. You have to carry it into your next life, and once you get there I assure you you will wish you had taken better care of it before. But this is the way of it, and always has been. It is said that the bad test the good, but it is actually the reverse that is more true now. I am testing these people far more than they are testing me. People like me put huge pressure on the governors, and I am not talking about as a matter of avoiding revolution. Revolution is another mundane matter, a series of arbitrary events which—like everything else—are important only as a test of spirit. A backdrop on which your story is written. The pressure I put on them is by simply being a messenger of the truth—a truth that they and everyone else already knows. But in the hurly-burly, this truth gets buried and lost. The governors spend trillions burying it on purpose, and the rest of their time is spent in denial. So my existence is like an accelerant. The gods and muses insert me into the mix to speed up the outcome: the governors can’t fool around any longer pretending they aren’t who they know they are. In response to me they have to make a choice: back off and admit the con is already far too large to maintain, or continue to accelerate the con and hope it doesn’t backfire on them. I have already given them that choice and shown them how easy it would be to go back. But we can see that they are choosing to go forward, and to accelerate events beyond all reason. In so doing, they are choosing to self-destruct even faster than they were before. This is what I meant when I said before that the revolution is already proceeding. It has been happening for over a decade, as a worm in the minds of these people. The truth has been eating away at them year by year, as we can see from their response. No event is clearer evidence of that than his corona event, since it reeks of desperation, confusion, and miscalculation. It shows me that it isn’t just the visible dweebs online who crumble under the least pressure, as we have seen in my droll battles with the various internet trolls. Even the biggest of the invisible big boys don’t have any idea how to deal with those such as me. They are long prepared for anything. . . except reality. They can deflect any attack. . . except a messenger of the Muse walking straight up to them and telling them the truth. That is the one thing not on their lists, the one thing they have no contingency plan for. Someone on Cuttingthroughthefog suggested this coronahoax was a message from the Cabal to me, showing me the power they have to move the masses around at will. But unfortunately I got just the opposite message, as you see. This event confirmed to me my own power, not theirs. In just the last month I have come to understand who I am, even more than before, which is very bad news for them. I won’t tell you exactly what I know or how I know it, but while many think things are flying out of control, I can tell you just the opposite is true. On a spiritual level, things on this planet are finally firming up after decades or centuries of flab. Things are happening, and you should be glad of it. Welcome the test, whatever it is, since it will provide you with the opportunity to do good deeds. I say this to the governors as well. Your opportunity to turn around is and will be greater than even before, and more obvious. I suggest you take it. Only you can rewrite your own story. If you are still not getting it, let me put it yet another way. The narrative is being pushed by some at Cutting that this latest hoax is the beginning of martial law, forced vaccines, chipping, the whole Alex Jones prison planet thing. I don’t think it is. I think it is just the latest bluff, floated to create fear. But say it IS a pretext for that, and that we are moving into some sort of Mordor future. Sounds awful, but ask yourself who it will be worst for. In Mordor, who would be the most miserable? The lowest goblin or orc? No, the most miserable person in Mordor is. . . Sauron himself. But we don’t have to take Tolkien’s word for it, or Dante’s or Milton’s. All we have to do is look around. The first, Soros, looks like he hasn’t slept since about 1960. Then we have a Rothschild and a Rockefeller. Rockefeller was always smiling after about 1990, but that is because he had that grin surgically implanted on his face. But it is the eyes that tell us everything, as always. I will be told by actual Rothschilds or Rockefellers that once in you can’t get out. You can’t “turn around” or go straight, because you aren’t allowed to. But that is the usual bluff. As a human, your freedom is infinite from birth and never lessens. You can do anything you wish. Some things are more difficult, it is true, but nothing is impossible. The more difficult things are simply the more meaningful. You will tell me you will actually be killed if you cross your family. I don’t think you will be, but even if you are, it is far better than to continue to spiral down into the abyss with them. Make the turn, and if they kill you that is their bad. Your death is not a mark upon your soul, but it will be a mark on theirs. Some will answer me that they have no evidence of this higher world I am talking about. But they know about granddad’s henchmen, because they have witnessed them. My answer to that is that if you have witnessed your granddad and his henchmen, you have witnessed all the proof of a higher world you require. Simply by calling them henchmen, you have admitted you know they are bad. If you know about bad, you also know about good. Given that, and only that, you are required to do good. You were born knowing that, so pretending otherwise is useless. Pretending you have no “evidence” won’t fly. You aren’t fooling anyone by pretending that the gods need to give you more evidence than that: that they are required to appear in some burning bush to you personally and give you detailed instructions. They aren’t and won’t, but their expectations of you haven’t changed. They are what they always have been, and you know it. I put it that way because the time for parables is over. The time for allegories and metaphors is over. If you need detailed instructions, this is all you are going to get. You are hereby reminded that the gods know you know these things, and any bag of lame excuses won’t even be opened. You won’t even be allowed to present evidence or make arguments, since your life already stands as your evidence and argument. The evidence and arguments are already made. You will say, “Then there is no point to turning around. I have already done more evil than I can ever atone for, so I might as well continue on as is.” Wrong. That is just the lazy “once a devil always a devil argument”, and you are born knowing it is false. If there were no chance of redemption, you wouldn’t need to be born in the first place. Writing a new story would be pointless. So the very fact you are here disproves it. THE REASON YOU ARE HERE IS TO TURN AROUND. So best get on with it. The only thing that is pointless is continuing to be evil tomorrow, since it is just wasted time. It is like time spent hoeing rocks or watering cement. Or, to be more exact, it is like time spent investing in ugly pills, and taking one every morning. You may laugh, but like everything else, this is indeed far simpler than people generally make it. Spiritual matters are made complex, convoluted, and esoteric as another form of pretense. People pretend this is all too difficult for humans to comprehend, hoping that will be accepted as some sort of excuse. But do you really think you are fooling anyone with that? Don’t you think the gods will see through that in a second? As I said, they gave you this knowledge of good and evil as part of your package at birth. They know that and you know that, so denying it won’t fly. Saying you were tricked by L. Ron Hubbard or Joseph Smith or Ram Dass or Steven Spielberg isn’t going to mean anything. Nor is the plea that you were born into a “materialistic” time, and just did what everyone else was doing. That argument didn’t work with your dad when you were four, so what makes you think it is going to fool the gods? “But Dad, everyone else was stealing gumballs!” But if you need detailed instruction, I will give you a bit more. You had better start taking this seriously immediately, because it is deadly serious. Tending your own spirit and writing your own story is job one. It is the only job you are capable of. It is why you are here. All else is subordinate to that. I’ll tell you something else: the rags-to-riches story has been done and no one above is impressed by it. Same for the riches-to-riches story. Least impressive of all is the riches-to-riches story posing as the rags-to-riches story. That isn’t fooling anyone and never has. The gods would rather read a bawdy limerick than read that old sham again. There are an infinity of possible stories of virtue, and only a few of them have so far been attempted. I can tell you from experience that the gods are thrilled beyond words by any attempt at creativity, and will take time out of their busy schedules to assist new stories and storytellers. This is why the revolution is proceeding and why it is unstoppable. It is not a revolution of guns or marching in the streets, so it can’t be stopped by the National Guard. And, counter-intuitively, it isn’t a revolution of the lower class against the upper. The only revolution that has any meaning at this time is a revolution of people against themselves. Bad people have to fall out of love with their own lousy stories, and they can only do that once they really comprehend just how awful those stories are. That is why I am here: to grab them and drag them forcibly from their own stages, making them see how paltry and vulgar it all is. But also to give them an idea of what else is possible. In the end, all of life is revolutionary. The life of each person is a potential or real revolution every morning, as they choose or don’t choose to write new and better things about themselves. In this sense, life only has worth as revolution. For plants and animals, the point of life would appear to be to do the same things they have always done, since there is no need to turn around, or any possibility of it. They appear to be fine as they are. But humans are not born on that cycle. They appear to be born with huge amounts of baggage from prior lives, baggage they cannot jettison. Even the best of us are weighted down with strange impulses and weird imaginings. We are at battle with ourselves from the first day. Many interpret this as a curse, but it is simply a function of our ability to grow very quickly. With that ability comes the opposite ability: the ability to crash very quickly. But you can’t have one without the other, you see. So we are always either growing or diminishing, but rarely standing still. Hence, as we grow, we are always at the same time dealing with past crashes, which haunt us. And, being at a low or middle stage of development, not that far above the animals, our crashes are frequent and horrendous, and our memory of them is recent. We are like a puppy just learning to walk, but with a much better memory than the puppy. Which is why I imagine the gods have special pity for us. They have not cursed us or damned us to this place. Just the opposite in fact. We are overwatched and tended lovingly, for if we were not the planet would have crumbled into absolute chaos long ago. The gods are often blamed for allowing the Earth to be such a hellhole, but surely most of you have occasionally thought the opposite. I know that when I look around me, I am amazed not at how bad things are, but even now how good. As just the easiest example, I have never understood how the freeways are not clogged with huge piles of wrecks everyday. Given what we know people are, you would expect your average person to be in about ten crashes a day. In a major city, that average person should not last a week on the highways. So, you can either blame the gods for the 45,000 deaths per year in cars in the US, or you can thank them for the billions of non-deaths every year, that could have happened but didn’t. You will say that if they could prevent billions, they could prevent them all, which may be true. I suppose we all have a destined end, and some of us are in a car when that time arrives. In conclusion, although you may fear a Mordor scenario in the near future, frankly I do not. It didn’t happen after 911, didn’t happen after Ebola, and won’t happen after this or 5G. These people are not capable of that sort of control, since they aren’t even capable of the current levels. And if they were, I don’t believe the gods would allow it. What they have proved themselves capable of is shooting themselves in the foot over and over, while making things more and more inconvenient for us. I for one am happy to accept the added temporary inconvenience if it means that they will graduate from shooting off their own feet to shooting off their own legs. At that point maybe they will realize the path they are on simply isn’t worth walking. I want to tack on a comment about “social distancing”, one of the most perverse and transparent gambits they have ever come up with. My readers spotted this one immediately as a continuation of the split-the-sexes project, whereby people are separated from one another on purpose, creating all sorts of anxieties that then require drugging and many other sorts of compensation. Lonely miserable people spend far more money than happy couples, and not just on drugs. But this new social distancing thing serves double duty, since the governors hope it will keep people from talking face-to-face. If they aren’t talking face-to-face, it is hoped that most talk of push-back or other revolution will be squelched. You see, they want you quiet, but if you have to talk, they want you online or on the phone, where they can track you and control you. They figure you will self-police online, since you know many others are listening. While you might feel free to say what you think face-to-face, online you will develop a persona, and the persona of most people online is one of anonymity and reserve. No one is going to seriously talk revolution online, because that would be stupid. Plus, online they can surround you with huge levels of noise. Whatever you say or wherever you say it, they can hire thousands of people to show up and drown it out with misdirection, lies, and other confusion. So, one sort of specific revolution I am not afraid to call for right now is for you to very conspicuously ignore this social distancing recommendation. Do not stay home, do not distance yourself from people, and do not obey illegal orders from your government, federal or local. The Constitution cannot be suspended and has not been, and according to that you have the right to assembly. This current scare is just a bluff, and they know it is unenforceable, which is why they are trying to get you to police yourselves. They want you doing all this voluntarily, but I very strongly recommend you don’t. That is what Neil Tyson’s admission was all about: it is a test to see if you will voluntarily give up your rights, and how far they can push you in that. Can they get you to lockdown yourselves, without even passing a law? Tell them no. If fact, this is a great time to disobey orders from police concerning these things, since those orders would have no legal backing. If you got arrested and had to spend any time in jail, you would have the perfect excuse for a lawsuit, by which you could make very good money. If they rough you up, you can make even more. You could live for a decade on your proceeds from such a thing, so just remember that. If you own a business like a restaurant and you have been told to shut down, don’t do it without a court order or a definite legal writ. The request is just a request, and beyond that is a bluff. If they threaten you with further action, tell them to get to it. It won’t happen, because there is no legal authority behind any of this. And if it does happen, you can sue later and live on that the rest of your life. You may think I am way out on a limb here, but you may be interested to know that former Congressman Ron Paul is saying pretty much the same thing. The difference is, Paul concedes that corona may have killed 100 people in the US. I don’t concede that it has killed any. Corona, defined as some new dangerous strain they are calling COVID19, is totally manufactured. And I don’t mean manufactured in a lab. I mean manufactured on paper, and played out on a stage. I concede that some old people are dying of respiratory problems from flu symptoms, but they always are. It is nothing new. The fact is, corona strains have been around for a long time, and these strains almost always work in tandem. Furthermore, it is impossible to determine which of a multitude of strains caused the death. These new deaths are assigned to corona simply to fit the script, which is why I say the numbers have no medical basis. As Paul admits, they are massaged from the ground up, and this scare has nothing to do with preventing the spread of disease and everything to do with abetting the intentional spread of fear. Do not allow this to succeed. Do not be afraid. I’m not. Be angry.
This is a must read, I copied this over ten years ago and it has come to fruition lately.. I told you so. But whether you know it our not a lot of the Pagan and Devil worshippers have declared the Age of Aquarius began with Dec 21 2020
The Age of Aquarius
Sex, Drugs and Rock ‘n Roll
Alice Bailey
Alice Bailey, who had succeeded Annie Besant as head of the Theosophical movement, together with her husband, Foster Bailey, launched Lucifer Publishing Company, which published the theosophical periodical Lucifer. Though, they changed the name to Lucis Publishing Company. The work of Lucis Trust is carried out through its Arcane School of the occult, and World Goodwill. Together, they work to implement what is termed “the Plan”, as was revealed in 24 books written by Bailey, and published by Lucis Trust. Alice Bailey, though, claimed that it as Djwhal Khul, her “Ascended Master”, actually wrote the books through her while she was in a trance.
The focus of “the Plan” she was instructed to pursue is to usher in the “Harmonic Convergence,” also known as the Omega, Mind Convergence, Fusion or Turning Point, which can occur only when nations put aside their differences in a “New World Order” of global unity. When world government and religion are finally realized, the New Age, or the Age of Aquarius, will have dawned. Only then will Jesus Christ the Avatar appear, and the implementation of the New World Order fully begin. This “Christ” is also known as Lord Maitraya, said to be awaited also by Jews, Moslems, Buddhists, and Hindus, though he is known by these believers respectively as the Messiah, Imam Mahdi, the fifth Buddha, or Krishna. Bailey makes it very clear that there is to also be a world religion:
The spirit has gone out of the old faiths and the true spiritual light is transferring itself into a new form which will manifest on earth eventually as the new world religion. …Judaism is old, obsolete and separative and has no true message for the spiritually-minded which cannot be better given by the new faiths…the Christian faith also has served its purpose; its Founder seeks to bring a new Gospel and a new message that will enlighten all men everywhere.[1]
The Lucis Trust is run through an international board of trustees, whose membership is said to have included: John D. Rockefeller, Norman Cousins, Robert S. McNamara, Thomas Watson, Jr. of IBM, and former U.S. Ambassador to Moscow, Henry Clauson, a Grand Commander of the Supreme Council, 33rd Degree, Southern District Scottish Rite, and Henry Kissinger, thus tying Bailey’s organization into the various Round Table groups, including the CFR, the Bilderberger group, and the Trilateral Commission.[2]
Aldous Huxley
The plan would be brought about through the Tavistock Institute and its MK-Ultra mind-control program. The agent of the Round Table conspiracy was author Aldous Huxley, who was sent on a mission to foster the proliferation of “mind-expanding” drugs in the U.S., a continuation of the MK-Ultra program, based on the mind-control techniques of the Assassins.[3]
Essentially, the use of narcotics is an ancient aspect of occult rites. Ancient mystery rites commonly resorted to alcohol, but also other forms of hallucinogenic drugs, which, when combined with certain types of rhythmic accompaniments, were believed to induce altered states of consciousness, or possession by the “god”. These same basic method would adopted by the Tavistock Institute, but on a mass scale, using “sex and drugs, and rock ‘n roll”, to induce mental states in their audiences that would open them to specific forms of indoctrination.
Huxley’s A Brave New World is set in London in the twenty-sixth century, The entire planet is united as The World State, a peaceful world government established in the aftermath of an apocalyptic global war in the 21st century. Warfare and poverty have been eliminated, and everyone is permanently happy, by keeping them emmersed in promiscuous sex, and consumption of a drug called Soma. The name Soma is telling of Huxley’s occult tendencies, as it is the same as the narcotic drug once used for occult purposes by the ancient Chaldean Magi.
In a lecture to the California Medical School, in San Francisco, in 1961, Huxley explained:
There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution.[4]
The plan was advanced by Weishaupt, who saw the need of corrupting the youth through sex and drugs, and control of the media. Referred to as the Aquarian Conspiracy, the aim of this Illuminati project was to render a generation of Americans susceptible to mass manipulation, by producing a “counterculture”, founded on Eastern mysticism and “rock and roll”, that resulted in the heady “free-spirited” days of 60s. Known also as the Age of Aquarius, it fostered the antinomianism of ancient Gnosticism and Shabbateanism, disguised deceptively in various “liberation” movements, including “free-love”, “women’s lib”, gay liberation, and “body-consciousness”.
There are two approaches involved in mind-control. The first is manipulation of the individual, to fulfill specific tasks, and the second is indoctrination of entire societies, to comply with certain objectives. MK-Ultra grew out of the experimentation in psychiatry related to the field of eugenics, first developed by the Germans prior to WWII. Through the Tavistock Institute, three families, the Rockefellers, Warburgs, and Harrimans, together with British Crown agencies, jointly sponsored much of these social engineering projects, which called for the killing or sterilization of people whose heredity made them a public burden.[5]
The Tavistock Institute’s projects were a follow-up on the work of the German scientists, known as Frankfurt Institute for Social Research, or the Frankfurt School, which focused on the study and criticism of culture developed from the thought of Freud. As an atheist, Freud believed that conventional morality is an unatural repression of the sexual urges imposed during childhood. David Bakan, in Sigmund Freud and The Jewish Mystical Tradition, has shown that Freud was a “crypto-Shabbatean”. Freud, when he was made aware of the Lurianic Kabbalah exclaimed “This is gold!” and asked why these ideas had never previously been brought to his attention.[6]
Sigmund Freud
In his book Moses and Monotheism, Freud makes clear that, as in the case of the Pharaohs of Egypt, incest confers god-like status on its perpetrators. In the same book, Freud claims that Moses was an Egyptian, in an attempt to discredit the origin of the Law conferred by him. Commenting on these passages, Bakan claims that Freud was a follower of Shabbetai Zevi, and that his attack on Moses was an attempt to abolish the law in the same way that Zevi did.[7]
The Frankfurt School converged on the thesis that mass media could be used to induce “regressive mental states, atomizing individuals and producing increased lability”, in other words, creating passivity by fostering alienation. Following the Tavistock Institute’s study of war psychosis, and its breakdown of individual personality, as Wolf describes, in Brainwashing: How The British Use The Media for Mass Psychological Warfare:
Bertrand Russell
From their work, an evil thesis emerged: Through the use of terror, man can be reduced to a childlike and submissive state, in which his powers of reason are clouded, and in which his emotional response to various situations and stimuli can become predictable, or in Tavistockian terms, “profitable.” By controlling the levels of anxiety, it is possible to induce a similar state in large groups of people, whose behavior can then be controlled and manipulated by the oligarchical forces for whom Tavistock worked.[8]
When the Frankfurt School researchers relocated to America, they were established at Columbia University in New York, where they also had links the Radio Research Institute at Princeton University. While All Souls College at Oxford University was the base for Round Table operations in England, the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton University, established by Abraham Flexner, the prominent education theorist, of the Rockefeller and Carnegie Foundations, was the center of activities in America.[9]
Lord Bertrand Russell, who joined with the Frankfurt School in this effort at mass social engineering, explained the basis of the strategy, in his 1951 book, The Impact of Science on Society:
Physiology and psychology afford fields for scientific technique which still await development. Two great men, Pavlov and Freud, have laid the foundation. I do not accept the view that they are in any essential conflict, but what structure will be built on their foundations is still in doubt. I think the subject which will be of most importance politically is mass psychology…. Its importance has been enormously increased by the growth of modern methods of propaganda. Of these the most influential is what is called “education.” Religion plays a part, though a diminishing one; the press, the cinema, and the radio play an increasing part…. It may be hoped that in time anybody will be able to persuade anybody of anything if he can catch the patient young and is provided by the State with money and equipment.
…The subject will make great strides when it is taken up by scientists under a scientific dictatorship… The social psychologists of the future will have a number of classes of school children on whom they will try different methods of producing an unshakable conviction that snow is black. Various results will soon be arrived at. First, that the influence of home is obstructive. Second, that not much can be done unless indoctrination begins before the age of ten. Third, that verses set to music and repeatedly intoned are very effective. Fourth, that the opinion that snow is white must be held to show a morbid taste for eccentricity. But I anticipate. It is for future scientists to make these maxims precise and discover exactly how much it costs per head to make children believe that snow is black, and how much less it would cost to make them believe it is dark gray.
…Although this science will be diligently studied, it will be rigidly confined to the governing class. The populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions were generated. When the technique has been perfected, every government that has been in charge of education for a generation will be able to control its subjects securely without the need of armies or policemen.[10]
Theodor Adorno
While music can have many beneficial aspects, it had long been long been used in the occult mystery rites to enflame the passions and rile the worshipper into a trance state of demon possession. These qualities were recognized by the Illuminati researchers of the Frankfurt School as powerful for indoctrination purposes. Essentially, music can be used to reduce the listener to a state of emotional immaturity, which renders him susceptible to the message it contains. Aldous Huxley, published a book called The Devils of Loudun in 1952, where he described this phenomenon:
If exposed long enough to the tomtoms and the singing, every one of our philosophers would end by capering and howling with savages. Assemble a mob of men and women, treat them to amplified band music, bright lights, and in next to no time you can reduce them to a state of almost mindless subhumanity. Never before have so few been in a position to make fools, maniacs, or criminals of so many.[11]
The social theory of rock was elaborated by musicologist Theodor Adorno, who headed the Radio Research Project:
In an imaginary but psychologically emotion-laden domain, the listener who remembers a hit song will turn into the song’s ideal subject, into the person for whom the song ideally speaks. At the same time, as one of many who identify with that fictitious subject, that musical I, he will feel his isolation ease as he himself feels integrated into the community of “fans.” In whistling such a song he bows to a ritual of socialization, although beyond this unarticulated subjective stirring of the moment his isolation continues unchanged… The comparison with addiction is inescapable. Addicted conduct generally has a social component: it is one possible reaction to the atomization which, as sociologists have noticed, parallels the compression of the social network. Addiction to music on the part of a number of entertainment listeners would be a similar phenomenon.[12]
In 1939, the Radio Project published some of their findings in the Journal of Applied Psychology. Their conclusion was that Americans had, over the previous twenty years, become “radio-minded,” and that their listening had become so fragmented that repetition of format was the key to popularity. The play list determined the “hits”, and repetition could make any form of music, or any performer, a “star.” As long as a familiar form or context was retained, almost any content would become acceptable. “Not only are hit songs, stars, and soap operas cyclically recurrent and rigidly invariable types,” said Adorno a few years later, “but the specific content of the entertainment itself is derived from them and only appears to change. The details are interchangeable.”[13]
Researchers of the Radio Research Project concluded that radio had already so conditioned the minds of its listeners, having already rendered them fragmented and unthinking, that repetition of format was the key to popularity.[14] In a report prepared for the University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research, Paul Hirsch described the product of Adorno’s Radio Research Project. According to Hirsch, the establishment of postwar radio’s Hit Parade “transformed the mass medium into an agency of sub-cultural programming. Radio networks were converted into round-the-clock recycling machines that repeated the top forty hits.” Hirsch documented how all popular culture, including movies, music, books, and fashion, is now run on the same program of preselection.[15]
Operation Mockingbird
William Paley
The director of the Radio Research Project was Paul Lazersfeld, with a Ph.D. in industrial psychology, who married Herta Herzog, the first director of research for the CIA’s Voice of America, and eventually became Chairman of the Board of the RAND Corporation, and also head of Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS). The founder and chief executive officer of CBS was career intelligence operative William Paley, also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.[16]
At the behest of his friend Ewen Dulles, Paley hired CIA agents to work undercover at CBS, as part of operation Mockingbird. Mockingbird was created in 1948 as part of Office of Policy Coordination (OPC), by its director Frank Wisner, as an effort to recruit American news organizations and journalists to become spies and disseminators of propaganda. Wisner was told by the CIA to create an organization that would concentrate on:
Propaganda, economic warfare; preventive direct action, including sabotage, anti-sabotage, demolition and evacuation measures; subversion against hostile states, including assistance to underground resistance groups, and support of indigenous anti-Communist elements in threatened countries of the free world.[17]
Henry Luce
CIA Director Dulles had staffed the CIA almost exclusively with Ivy League graduates, especially from Yale with figures like George Herbert Walker Bush from Yale’s Skull and Bones Society.[18] Prescott Bush was introduced to Paley by Averell Harriman, who in 1929 had represented CBS in a merger with Paramount Studios. In 1932, Bush took an active role in arranging the financing for Paley to purchase the company, and joined the board of directors, a position which he retained for several years.
Thus, through Rockefeller money, Henry Luce, a member of Skull and Bones, was financed to set up a number of national magazines, among them Life, Time, Fortune, and later House and Home and Sports Illustrated. The Rockefellers also directly or indirectly financed the Coles Brothers’ Look magazine, and a chain of newspapers. They financed Sam Newhouse, who controlled Random House and the Newhouse magazines, which included The New Yorker, Parade, and a Conde Nast list of nine U.S. magazines, among them Glamour and Vogue. Eugene Meyer, one of the founders of CFR, and first president of the World Bank, bought the Washington Post, Newsweek, the Weekly magazine, and other publications. Lehmans, Goldman-Sachs, Kuhn-Loebs, and the Warburgs, controlled of the film industry, Hollywood, radio, and television.[19]
The CIA had infiltrated the nation’s businesses, media, and universities with tens of thousands of on-call operatives to act as spies and stimulate the anti-communist hysteria of the Cold War. Ultimately, the CIA’s media assets would eventually include ABC, NBC, CBS, Time, Newsweek, Associated Press, United Press International (UPI), Reuters, Hearst Newspapers, Scripps-Howard, Copley News Service, etc. and 400 journalists, who have secretly carried out assignments according to documents on file at CIA headquarters, from intelligence-gathering, to serving as go-betweens.[20] These journalists sometimes wrote articles that were commissioned by Wisner himself, and the CIA also provided them with classified information to help them with their work.[21]
Paley said that television created the capability to “out-Goebbels, Goebbels.”[22] To Adorno and his “fellow travelers”, “Television is a medium of undreamed of psychological control.”[23] Adorno declared, “Television aims at the synthesis of radio and film, and is held up only because the interested parties have not yet reached agreement, but its consequences will be quite enormous and promise to intensify the impoverishment of aesthetic matter so drastically…”[24] Adorno states that all television programming contains, first, an overt message, referring to the plot, characters, scene, etc. It is in this overt content that successful formula are employed to guarantee viewership. But within this overt content, according to Adorno, there lies a “hidden message” that is less obvious, and which represents a particular moral theme for purposes of indoctrination.
MK-Ultra
Essentially, MK-Ultra involves the use of trauma-based programming techniques to deliberately induce a state of Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD), also known as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Of the various subprojects under the umbrella of MK-Ultra was Project Monarch, officially begun by the U.S. Army in the early 1960’s. Project Monarch was the catchword for mind-control projects involving US military, CIA, NASA and other government agencies. Methods used by Project Monarch included drugs, hypnosis, torture and electroshock. John W. DeCamp, in The Franklin Cover-up, quotes Anton Chaitkin explaining that it is, “the production of a horde of children in whom the soul is crushed, who would spy, whore, kill and commit suicide.”[25] Recovering Monarch victims confirm of ongoing trauma being conducted through “ritual abuse”, or “satanic ritual abuse”, typically involved in Satanism or Luciferianism.
Dr. Ewen Cameron”
Basically, MPD involves hypnosis, which is recognized as a branch of magic, or a phenomenon once known as demon possession. Mind-control programming seeks to create “alters” in the victim: alternative personalities. These can be used for specific tasks, including illegal activities, like delivering drugs, or other black-market activities, or assassinations. These alter personalities are segregated and compartmentalized within the victim’s mind by the repeated use of stun guns, drugs and hypnosis. This creates denial mechanisms that isolate specific memories in certain areas of the mind. An alter can be accessed by anyone who knows the “codes” or “triggers”. These triggers, which induce a trance state, or possession, can including telephone tones, nursery rhymes, and dialogue from certain movies or hand signals.
The most notorious aspect of Tavistock’s mind-control program were the outrages committed by Ewen Cameron. Cameron had been hired by Tavistock to evaluate the sanity of Nazi official Rudolph Hess, and was later to testify as an expert at the Nuremberg war crimes trials.[26] In 1943, the Rockefeller Foundation created the Allen Memorial Institute at McGill University in Montreal. Donald Ewen Cameron was placed in charge of the institute’s psychiatry. Experiments in coercive interrogation and brainwashing would be conducted by Cameron under the auspices of the Canadian military, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the CIA. Dr. Cameron’s “terminal” use of electric shock as a brain-burning torture, psychosurgery, and brainwashing with drugs and hypnosis would make the Canadian program the most famous aspect of the CIA’s MK- Ultra experiments.
Albert Hoffman
Dr. Allen Cameron had founded the Canadian branch of the World Federation for Mental Health, headed by his friend, Tavistock Institute chief, Brig. Gen. John R. Rees. In 1948, Dr. John Rawlings Rees, was picked by Montagu Norman, to act as president of the World Federation for Mental Health, and run the world’s psychological services.[27] World Federation for Mental Health was created on the recommendation of the United Nations’ World Health Organization (WHO) and Unesco. Unesco’s partnership
James Warburg
Timothy Leary
Rees was guided by its founding secretary general, eugenics strategist Sir Julian Huxley, and by Unesco social sciences chief Dr. Otto Klineberg, a Tavistock-affiliated psychologist specializing in the supposedly racial characteristics of the “American Negro”.[28]
The World Federation and Tavistock functioned to supply LSD to the United States as part of the Aquarian Conspiracy, through their agents, Aldous Huxley and Allen Dulles. Lysergic acid diethylamide, or LSD, was developed in 1943 by Albert Hoffman, a chemist at Sandoz A.B. a Swiss pharmaceutical house owned by S.G. Warburg, of the Warburg family, who also operated I.G. Farben. Allen Dulles, the director of the CIA when that agency began MK-Ultra, was the OSS station chief in Berne, Switzerland, throughout the early Sandoz research. One of his OSS assistants was James Warburg, who worked with both Aldous Huxley and Robert Maynard Hutchins, president of the University of Chicago.[29]
In 1960, Huxley was appointed visiting professor at MIT in Boston. He created a circle at Harvard parallel to his West Coast LSD team. The Harvard group included Huxley, Osmund, and Watts, Timothy Leary, and Richard Alpert. From the discussions of the Harvard seminar, Leary put together the book The Psychedelic Experience, based on the ancient Tibetan Book of the Dead. Watts at the same time founded the Pacifica Foundation, which sponsored the WKBW in San Francisco and WBM-FM in New York City radio stations, which were among the first to push the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and the Animals, and would later pioneer “acid rock” and eventually “punk rock.” As admitted by Jefferson Airplane’s leading musician, Paul Kantner:
The new rock music is intended to broaden the generation gap, alienate parents from their children, and prepare young people for revolution.[30]
Dr. Gregory Bateson, anthropologist with the OSS, and the former husband of anthropologist Margaret Mead, became the director of a hallucinogenic drug experimental clinic at the Palo Alto Veterans Administration Hospital. Through drug experimentation on patients, already hospitalized for psychological problems, Bateson established a core of “initiates” into the nest of Isis Cults, which Huxley had founded in southern California and in San Francisco. Foremost among his Palo Alto recruits was Ken Kesey. By 1967, through Kesey’s efforts in disseminating the drug, they created the “Summer of Love”, in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco.[31]
Gregory Bateson
Ken Kesey
The catalyst to expand this mystical “free-love” philosophy was the “anti-war”movemen. Lord Bertrand Russell had begun laying the foundations for the anti-war movement, or Ban the Bomb, in the 1950s, as a means toward one-world government. The banks in New York provided financing to establish the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS), the U.S. branch of the Russell’s Peace Foundation, among whose founding trustees was James Warburg. The founding director of IPS was Marcus Raskin, a fellow of the National Training Labs, a U.S. subsidiary of the Tavistock Institute. After its creation by the League for Industrial Democracy, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), the umbrella of the student anti-war movement, was financed and run through IPS.[32]
The infrastructure for providing the drugs that swamped the anti-war movement and the college campuses of the United States in the late 1960s was organized crime. The role of the Mafia in the Aquarian conspiracy was coordinated by John Maynar Hutchins. At only age twenty-eight, Hutchins was appointed dean of Yale Law School, where became one of the primary advocates for the Institute of Human Relations, Yale’s propaganda organ for the New World Order, founded by members of the ultra-secret Skull and Bones society. Two years later, he was appointed president of the University of Chicago, where he was one of the leading proponents of “general education”, pushing the study of “Western civilization”. With the help of his longtime associate Mortimer J. Adler, he introduced the Great Books program at the university.
John Maynard Hutchins
Hutchins established the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions (CSDI) in Santa Barbara, California, which was principally financed through organized crime. Hutchins also recruited Aldous Huxley, Elisabeth Mann Borghese, the daughter of Thomas Mann, and a number of Rhodes Scholars, who had originally been brought into the University of Chicago during the 1930s and 1940s.
The two main sources of funds for the CSDI were the Fund of Funds, a tax-exempt front for Bernie Cornfeld’s IOS, and the Parvin Foundation, a parallel front for Parvin-Dohnnan Co. of Nevada. IOS and Parvin-Dohnnan held controlling interests in the Desert Inn, the Aladdin, and the Dune, all Las Vegas casinos that were associated with Meyer Lansky’s Mafia crime syndicate. Effectively, IOS acted as a conduit for LSD, hashish, and marijuana distribution throughout the 1960s.[33]
Si donc vous êtes ressuscités avec le Christ, cherchez les choses d’en haut, où le Christ est assis à la droite de Dieu.
Bien sûr, nous sommes complets en Christ mais nous sommes accomplis avec Christ.
Nous sommes dans son corps, à l’intérieur de lui et protégés. Pourtant, en tant que chef du corps, il a fait avancer les choses en accomplissant toutes les choses qui rendent un corps complet.
Col 2:10
Et vous êtes complets en lui, qui est le chef de toute principauté et de toute puissance :
Étant dans son corps MAINTENANT, nous avons tout ce qu’il a déjà fait,
Nous sommes circoncis, ce qui signifie plus que de couper ce prépuce que les Juifs religieux voulaient absolument. Il a versé sa propre chair pour nous. Il est mort. Il s’est sacrifié par amour !
Col 2:11
En qui vous avez été circoncis par une circoncision faite sans main, en vous débarrassant du corps des péchés de la chair par la circoncision du Christ :
Tout péché et tout désir charnel ont été enlevés en lui.
Mais non seulement notre vieille nature est morte avec Lui, mais par l’influx du Saint-Esprit, nous sommes remplis de la nature spirituelle. Nous avons la vie éternelle en nous !
Col 2:12
Ensevelis avec lui par le baptême, vous êtes aussi ressuscités avec lui par la foi en l’opération de Dieu, qui l’a ressuscité des morts.
Dans l’économie de Dieu, nous sommes morts quand il est mort, nous avons été enterrés quand il a été enterré, mais le plus étonnant est que nous sommes ressuscités de cette tombe avec lui pour la vie éternelle. La mort n’a plus de prise sur nous. Et comment a-t-il fait cela ?
Et qu’avons-nous dû faire ? Seulement croire. Seulement dire oui à la promesse de Dieu et accepter qu’elle soit vraie.
Nous avons été ressuscités quand Il l’a été et c’est un fait. Mais cela ne profite qu’à ceux qui ont entendu ce message et qui le croient en disant OUI ! C’est la puissance de Dieu qui a fait sortir Jésus de sa tombe.
Jésus était mort, alors qui a cru ? Un homme mort peut-il croire ? Jésus a tellement cru et fait confiance à son Père qu’il a donné sa vie en sachant que Dieu ne l’abandonnerait jamais !
Psaume 16:8
Je place l’Eternel devant moi en permanence, car il est à ma droite, je ne chancellerai pas.
Psa 16:9
C’est pourquoi mon cœur est dans l’allégresse, et ma gloire se réjouit ; ma chair aussi repose dans l’espérance.
Psa 16:10
Car tu ne laisseras pas mon âme dans le séjour des morts, et tu ne permettras pas que ton Saint voie la corruption.
Psa 16:11
Tu me montreras le chemin de la vie, la joie est pleine en ta présence, les plaisirs sont éternels à ta droite.
Ce sont les paroles de David inspirées par Dieu et Jésus connaissait bien ces promesses et les croyait. Il savait qu’il y avait de la joie au-delà de la souffrance grâce à la puissance de Dieu qui l’a délivré du tombeau.
Dieu n’a permis à Jésus de rester dans le tombeau que trois jours et pas plus.
“Pourquoi ? Selon la tradition juive, l’âme/esprit d’une personne restait avec son corps mort pendant trois jours. Après trois jours, l’âme/l’esprit s’en allait. Si la résurrection de Jésus avait eu lieu le même jour ou même le lendemain, il aurait été plus facile pour ses ennemis de soutenir qu’il n’était jamais vraiment mort.”
Jésus a été ressuscité par Dieu son Père et n’a jamais été abandonné.
Mais voyez ici que ce n’est que par la puissance infinie de Dieu et la foi infinie de Dieu en lui.
par la foi de l’opération de Dieu
Et donc Dieu l’a ressuscité de la même manière qu’il nous a ressuscités parce qu’il croit en nous. C’est la foi de Dieu et la foi de Jésus qui nous a sauvés, pas la nôtre.
Eph 2:8
C’est par la grâce que vous êtes sauvés, par le moyen de la foi, et cela ne vient pas de vous, c’est le don de Dieu :
Nous n’avons que deux choix. Croire les paroles de Dieu ou dire que je l’ai fait à ma façon. Ma façon de faire est de croire les paroles de Dieu.
Eph 1:19
Et quelle est l’immensité de sa puissance pour nous qui croyons, selon l’action de sa grande force,
Eph 1:20
qu’il a opérée en Christ, en le ressuscitant des morts, et en le plaçant à sa droite dans les lieux célestes,
Cette même puissance étonnante de Dieu qui a ressuscité Jésus de la mort à la droite de Dieu nous a aussi ressuscités avec Jésus car nous sommes dans son corps !
“Nous avons reçu la vie éternelle avec lui parce que nous sommes en lui,
Tout péché et toute opinion contre nous ont été effacés et cloués sur la croix.
Nous avons triomphé de toute mort et des choses contre nous.
Nous avons été rendus vivants avec Lui et en Lui parce que Lui, Jésus n’avait pas de limites de compassion ou de pardon pour tous ceux qui voulaient l’écouter. Toutes les offenses. Chaque faux pas, Il nous a rattrapés. Tout péché volontaire, Il nous a pardonné. Rien ne peut nous séparer de l’amour de Dieu si nous l’acceptons. Aucune sorte d’offense, et tout signifie tout.
Col 2:13
Et vous, qui étiez morts dans vos péchés et dans l’incirconcision de votre chair, il vous a ressuscités avec lui, après vous avoir pardonné toute faute ;
Chaque erreur a été clouée à la croix et payée !
Alors, où devons-nous chercher de l’aide ?
Col 3:1
Si donc vous êtes ressuscités avec le Christ, cherchez les choses d’en haut, où le Christ est assis à la droite de Dieu.
Nous sommes déjà assis avec lui dans les lieux célestes, attendant que notre vie sur terre suive le mouvement. Nous devons continuer à rechercher les choses du royaume de Dieu où nous avons une citoyenneté céleste et des droits illimités. Parce que le Christ s’est assis, tout a été accompli et nous devons encore chercher à le voir.
Nous devons désirer, aspirer et faire tout ce que nous pouvons pour voir ces choses qui sont au-dessus dans le monde spirituel. Cela signifie ne pas se laisser distraire par les belles choses de ce monde temporaire et défaillant.
Col 3:2
Fixez votre affection sur les choses d’en haut, et non sur celles de la terre.
Nous devrions être d’accord avec ces promesses qui viennent d’être énoncées. Nous devrions les voir et continuer à les regarder. Remplir nos esprits de réalités spirituelles. Pourquoi ?
Parce que nous sommes morts ? Eh bien, si nous ne sommes pas morts, nous sommes en train de mourir. Et comparé à la vie éternelle, ce n’est rien du tout. Oui, nous sommes morts dans l’économie de Dieu. Nous avons été cloués à la croix avec Jésus. Tous nos désirs terrestres sont morts ou en train de mourir. Lorsque vous naissez, l’horloge commence à tourner sur cette planète. Vous commencez à grandir et si vous ne vous préoccupez que de votre corps physique, il est en train de mourir et de se décomposer. Si vous vivez cent ans et avez la meilleure vie sur terre, en comparaison de ce qu’est la vie éternelle avec un corps ressuscité et céleste, ce n’est rien. Donc oui, dans la perspective divine de l’éternité, nous sommes déjà morts. Si nous essayons de vivre sans le Christ. Nous devons donc vivre DANS LE CHRIST
Col 3:3 NET
car vous êtes morts et votre vie est cachée avec le Christ en Dieu.
Et c’est là que nous sommes protégés de tout ce que la mort ou le diable peuvent nous lancer. Nous sommes en sécurité quand nous sommes en Christ qui est aussi en sécurité dans le Père.
Col 3:4
Quand le Christ, qui est notre vie, apparaîtra, vous apparaîtrez aussi avec lui dans la gloire.
Nous verrons pleinement la gloire lorsque le Christ reviendra pour restaurer le ciel et la terre. Nous verrons pleinement la grandeur de Christ lorsqu’il restaurera notre corps et enlèvera toute mort et maladie de celui-ci. Cependant, nous pouvons encore voir la gloire en partie lorsque nous marchons avec lui aujourd’hui. Plus Il apparaît dans votre vie, même maintenant, dans ces vases brisés, plus nous voyons la gloire de Christ briller dans ce monde sombre. Plus nous manifestons Christ en nous, plus Il apparaîtra. Et Il a promis qu’Il reviendra comme Il est parti dans la gloire finale . En attendant, nous pouvons nous concentrer et rechercher sa puissance aujourd’hui car nous sommes les lumières dans ce monde mourant.
Phl 2:15
Afin que vous soyez irréprochables et inoffensifs, fils de Dieu, sans reproche, au milieu d’une nation tortueuse et perverse, au milieu de laquelle vous brillez comme des lumières dans le monde ;
Le mot “paraître” φανερόω dans Colossiens 3 est la même idée ici que “briller” φαίνω.
φανερόω phaneroo “rendre manifeste ou visible ou connu ce qui a été caché ou inconnu, manifester, soit par des paroles, soit par des actes, soit de toute autre manière”.
φαίνω phaino (venant de la lumière phos) signifiant “amener à la lumière, faire briller, répandre la lumière”.
Et le même mot utilisé comme lorsque le Christ apparaîtra φανερόω phaneroo a été utilisé ici.
1Jo 4:9
En ceci, l’amour de Dieu a été manifesté (φανερόω phaneroo) parmi nous, que Dieu a envoyé son Fils unique dans le monde, afin que nous vivions par lui.
Les chrétiens croient souvent que nous sommes juste là pour attendre le retour du Christ. Pourtant, nous sommes appelés à changer ce monde, nous sommes les lumières du monde. Nous avons été appelés à manifester le Christ au monde maintenant. C’est un monde qui se meurt. La plupart ne recevront pas la lumière, mais certains la recevront.
L’amour de Dieu s’est déjà manifesté parmi les croyants et plus nous manifestons le Christ, plus le monde peut être changé. Bien sûr, nous ne vaincrons jamais la mort jusqu’au retour de Jésus à la fin, mais nous sommes appelés à construire son corps et à le manifester.
Le Christ apparaît maintenant à travers son corps sur la terre et finalement toutes les ténèbres seront éliminées dans les nouveaux cieux et la nouvelle terre.
Si habéis resucitado con Cristo, buscad las cosas de arriba, donde Cristo está sentado a la derecha de Dios
Por supuesto que estamos Completos en Cristo pero hemos cumplido con Cristo.
Estamos en Su cuerpo dentro de Él y protegidos. Sin embargo él como la cabeza del cuerpo ha forjado adelante logrando todas las cosas que hacen un cuerpo completo.
Col 2:10
Y vosotros estáis completos en él, que es la cabeza de todo principado y potestad:
Estando en Su cuerpo AHORA tenemos todo lo que Él ya hizo,
Estamos circuncidados, lo que significa más que cortar el prepucio que los judíos religiosos eran tan inflexibles. Él derramó su propia carne por nosotros. Él murió. Se sacrificó por amor.
Col 2:11
En quien también fuisteis circuncidados con la circuncisión hecha sin manos, despojándoos del cuerpo de los pecados de la carne por la circuncisión de Cristo:
Todo pecado y deseos carnales fueron quitados en Él
Pero no sólo nuestra vieja naturaleza murió con Él, sino que por la llenura del espíritu santo estamos llenos de la naturaleza espiritual. ¡Tenemos vida eterna en nosotros!
Col 2:12
Sepultados con él en el bautismo, en el que también habéis resucitado con él por la fe de la operación de Dios, que le resucitó de entre los muertos.
En la economía de Dios morimos cuando Él murió, fuimos enterrados cuando Él fue enterrado, pero lo más asombroso es que fuimos resucitados de esa tumba con Él a la vida eterna. La muerte no tiene más poder sobre nosotros. ¿Y cómo hizo esto?
¿Y qué tenemos que hacer nosotros? Sólo creer. Sólo decir que sí a la promesa de Dios y aceptar que es verdad.
Fuimos resucitados cuando Él lo fue y eso es un hecho. Pero solo beneficia a aquellos que han escuchado este mensaje y lo creen diciendo ¡SÍ! Fue el poder de Dios el que levantó a Jesús de la tumba.
Jesús estaba muerto así que ¿quién creyó? ¿Puede un muerto creer? Jesús creyó y confió tanto en su Padre que entregó su vida sabiendo que Dios nunca lo abandonaría ni lo desampararía.
Salmo 16:8
A Jehová he puesto siempre delante de mí; porque está a mi diestra, no seré conmovido.
Salmo 16:9
Por tanto, mi corazón se alegra, y mi gloria se regocija; también mi carne descansará en la esperanza.
Sal 16:10
Porque no dejarás mi alma en el infierno, ni permitirás que tu Santo vea corrupción.
Sal 16:11
Me mostrarás la senda de la vida; en tu presencia hay plenitud de alegría; a tu derecha hay placeres para siempre.
Estas eran las palabras de David inspiradas por Dios y Jesús conocía bien estas promesas y las creía. Él sabía que había alegría más allá del sufrimiento debido al poder de Dios para liberarlo de la tumba.
Dios solo permitió a Jesús en la tumba tres días y no más.
“¿Por qué? Según la tradición judía, el alma/espíritu de una persona permanecía con su cuerpo muerto durante tres días. Después de tres días, el alma/espíritu partía. Si la resurrección de Jesús hubiera ocurrido el mismo día o incluso al día siguiente, habría sido más fácil para sus enemigos argumentar que nunca había muerto realmente.”
Jesús fue resucitado por su Padre Dios y nunca fue abandonado
Pero vea aquí que fue sólo por el poder infinito de Dios y la fe infinita de Dios en Él
a través de la fe de la operación de Dios
Y así Dios lo resucitó igual que nos resucitó a nosotros porque cree en nosotros. Es la fe de Dios y la fe de Jesús que nos salvó no la nuestra
Ef 2:8
Porque por gracia sois salvos por medio de la fe; y esto no de vosotros, pues es don de Dios:
Solo tenemos dos opciones. Creer las palabras de Dios o decir que lo hice a mi manera. Mi manera es creer las palabras de Dios.
Ef 1:19
Y cuál es la extraordinaria grandeza de su poder para con nosotros los que creemos, según la acción de su fuerza,
Ef 1:20
la cual operó en Cristo, resucitándolo de entre los muertos y sentándolo a su diestra en los lugares celestiales,
Este mismo poder asombroso de Dios que resucitó a Jesús de la muerte a la diestra de Dios, también nos resucitó a nosotros con Jesús, pues estamos en su cuerpo.
“os resucitó juntamente con él, habiéndoos perdonado todos los delitos”; se nos ha dado vida Eterna con Él porque estamos en Él,
Todo pecado y toda opinión contra nosotros fue borrada y clavada en la cruz
Hemos triunfado sobre toda muerte y cosas contra nosotros.
Fuimos hechos vivos con Él y en Él porque Él, Jesús no tuvo límites de compasión o perdón a todos los que lo escucharan. Todas las faltas. Cada resbalón, Él nos atrapó. Todo pecado voluntario, Él nos perdonó. Nada nos separaría del amor de Dios si lo aceptamos. Ninguna transgresión, y todo significa todo.
Col 2:13
Y a vosotros, estando muertos en vuestros pecados y en la incircuncisión de vuestra carne, os dio vida juntamente con él, perdonándoos todas las ofensas;
Todos los errores fueron clavados en la cruz y pagados.
Entonces, ¿dónde más debemos buscar ayuda?
Col 3:1
Si habéis resucitado con Cristo, buscad las cosas de arriba, donde Cristo está sentado a la derecha de Dios.
Ya estamos sentados con Él en los lugares celestiales esperando que nuestras vidas en la tierra sigan el ejemplo. Debemos seguir buscando las cosas del reino de Dios donde tenemos una ciudadanía celestial y derechos ilimitados. Porque Cristo se ha sentado todo se ha cumplido y todavía debemos buscar para verlo.
Debemos desear, stive, y hacer todo lo que podamos para ver aquellas cosas que están arriba en el mundo espiritual. Eso significa no distraerse con las cosas bonitas de este mundo temporal y fallido.
Col 3:2
Poned vuestro afecto en las cosas de arriba, no en las de la tierra.
Deberíamos estar de acuerdo con estas promesas que acabamos de exponer. Deberíamos verlas y seguir mirándolas. Llenar nuestras mentes con realidades espirituales. ¿Por qué?
¿Porque hemos muerto? Bueno si no estamos muertos estamos muriendo. Y eso comparado con la vida eterna no es nada. Sí, hemos muerto en la economía de Dios. Fuimos clavados en la cruz con Jesús. Todos nuestros deseos terrenales están muertos o muriendo. Cuando naces el reloj empieza a correr en este planeta. Empiezas a crecer y si es solo tu cuerpo físico lo que te preocupa, se está muriendo y decayendo. Si vives cien años y tienes la mejor vida en la tierra, en comparación con lo que es la vida Eterna con un cuerpo resucitado y celestial, no es nada. Asi que si nosotros en la perspectiva de Dios de la Eternidad ya estamos muertos. Si tratamos de vivir sin Cristo. Entonces debemos vivir EN CRISTO
Col 3:3 NET
porque habéis muerto y vuestra vida está escondida con Cristo en Dios.
Y aquí es donde estamos protegidos de todo lo que la muerte o el diablo pueda lanzarnos. Estamos seguros cuando estamos en Cristo que está tan seguro en el Padre.
Col 3:4
Cuando Cristo, que es nuestra vida, se manifieste, entonces también vosotros os manifestaréis con él en la gloria.
Veremos plenamente la gloria cuando Cristo regrese para restaurar el cielo y la tierra. Veremos plenamente la grandeza de Cristo cuando restaure nuestros cuerpos y elimine de ellos toda muerte y enfermedad. Sin embargo, todavía podemos ver la gloria en parte mientras caminamos con Él hoy. Cuanto más aparezca Él en tu vida, incluso ahora, en estos vasos rotos, más veremos la gloria de Cristo brillar en este mundo oscuro. Cuanto más manifestemos a Cristo en nosotros, más aparecerá Él. Y Él prometió que volverá como se fue en la gloria final . Mientras tanto podemos concentrarnos y buscar Su poder hoy porque somos las luces en este mundo moribundo.
Fil 2:15
Para que seáis irreprochables y sencillos, hijos de Dios, sin reproche, en medio de una nación torcida y perversa, en medio de la cual brilláis como luminarias en el mundo;
La palabra “aparecer” φανερόω en Colosenses 3 es la misma idea aquí que “brillar” φαίνω
φανερόω phaneroo “hacer manifiesto o visible o conocido lo que ha estado oculto o desconocido, manifestar, ya sea con palabras, o hechos, o de cualquier otra manera”
φαίνω phaino (que viene de phos de luz) que significa “sacar a la luz, hacer brillar, arrojar luz”
Y la misma palabra utilizada como cuando Cristo aparecerá φανερόω phaneroo fue utilizada aquí
1Jo 4:9
En esto se manifestó el amor de Dios (φανερόω phaneroo) entre nosotros, en que Dios envió a su Hijo único al mundo, para que vivamos por él.
A menudo los cristianos creen que sólo estamos aquí para esperar el regreso de Cristo. Sin embargo, estamos llamados a cambiar este mundo, somos las luces del mundo. Hemos sido llamados a manifestar a Cristo al mundo ahora. Concedido a un mundo moribundo. La mayoría no recibirá la luz, pero algunos sí.
El amor de Dios ya se ha manifestado entre los creyentes y cuanto más manifestemos a Cristo, más podrá cambiar el mundo. Por supuesto nunca vamos a conquistar toda la muerte hasta que Jesús regrese al final, pero estamos llamados a construir su Cuerpo conocer y manifestarle.
Cristo está apareciendo ahora a través de su Cuerpo en la tierra y finalmente toda la oscuridad será eliminada en los nuevos cielos y tierra
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God
Off course we are Complete in Christ but we are have accomplished with Christ.
We are in His body inside of Him and protected. Yet he as the head of the body has forged ahead by accomplishing all the things that make a body complete.
Col 2:10
And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
Being in His body NOW we have all He already did,
We are circumcised, meaning more than cutting off that prepuce that the religious Jews were so adamant about. He shed His own flesh for us. He died. He sacrificed Himself for love!
Col 2:11
In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
All sin and fleshly desires were taken away in Him
But not only did our old nature die with Him but by the infilling of the holy spirit we are filled with the spiritual nature. We have eternal life in us!
Col 2:12
Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
In Gods economy we died when He died, we were buried when He was buried but most amazing we were risen from that grave with Him to eternal life. Death has no more hold on us. And how did he do this.
And what did we need to do? Only believe. Only say yes to Gods promise and agree it is true.
We were risen when He was and that is a fact. But it only benefits those who have heard this message and believe it by saying YES! It was the power of God that raised Jesus out of that grave.
Jesus was dead so who believed? Can an dead man believe? Jesus believed and trusted His Father so much that He laid down His life knowing God would never abandon or forsake Him!
Psa 16:8
I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Psa 16:9
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
Psa 16:10
For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Psa 16:11
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
These were the word of David inspired by God and Jesus knew these promised well and believed them. HE knew there was Joy beyond the suffering because of the power of God to deliver Him from the grave.
God only allowed Jesus in the grave three days and no longer.
“Why? According to Jewish tradition, a person’s soul/spirit remained with his/her dead body for three days. After three days, the soul/spirit departed. If Jesus’ resurrection had occurred on the same day or even the next day, it would have been easier for His enemies to argue He had never truly died.”
Jesus was risen by His Father God and never forsaken
But see here it was only by Gods infinite power and Gods infinite faith in Him
through the faith of the operation of God
And so God raised Him the same we He raised us because He believes in us. It is Gods faith and Jesus’ faith that saved us no our own
Eph 2:8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
We only have two choices. Believe Gods words or say I did it my way. My way is to believe Gods words.
Eph 1:19
And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
Eph 1:20
Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
This same amazing power of God that raised Jesus from death to the right hand of God also raised us up with Jesus for we are in His body!
“he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;” we have been given Eternal life with Him because we are in Him,
Ever sin and ever opinion against us was erased and nailed to the cross
We have triumphed over all death and things against us.
We were made alive with Him and in Him because He, Jesus had not limits of compassion or forgiveness to all who would listen to Him. All trespasses. Every slip, He caught us. Ever willful sin He forgave us. Nothing would separate us from the love of God if we just accept it. No any kind of trespass, and all means all.
Col 2:13
And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
Ever single slip up was nailed to the cross and paid for!
So where else should we look for help?
Col 3:1
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
We are already seated with Him in the heavenly places waiting for our lives on earth to follow suit. We must keep seeking the things of the kingdom of God where we have a heavenly citizenship and unlimited rights. Because Christ has sat down all has been accomplished and we still must seek to see it.
We should desire, stive, and do all we can to see those thing which are above in the spiritual world. That meaning not being distracted by the pretty things in this temporary and failing world.
Col 3:2
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
We should agree with these promises just stated. We should see them and keep looking at them. Filling our minds with spiritual realities. Why?
Because we have died? Well if we are not dead we are dying. And that compared to eternal life is nothing at all. Yes we have died in Gods economy. We were nailed to the cross with Jesus. All our earthly desires are dead or dying. When you are born the clock starts ticking on this planet. You begin to grow and if it is only your physical body that you are concerned with, it is dying and decaying. If you live one hundred years and have the best life on earth, in comparison to what Eternal life is with a resurrected and heavenly body, it is nothing. So yes we in Gods perspective of Eternity are already dead. If we are trying to live without Christ. So we must live IN CHRIST
Col 3:3 NET
for you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
And this is where we are protected from everthing death or the devil can hurl at us. We are safe when we are in Christ who is so safe in the Father.
Col 3:4
When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
We shall full see the glory when Christ returns to restore the heaven and earth. We shall fully see the greatness of Christ when He restore our bodied and removes all death and sickness from them. However we can still see the glory in part as we walk with Him today. The more He appears in you life, even now, in these broken vessels, the more we see the glory of Christ shine in this dark world. The more we manifest Christ in us the more He shall appear. And He promised he will return as He left in the final glory . Meanwhile we can concentrate and search His power today because we are the lights in this dying world.
Phl 2:15
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
The word “appear” φανερόω in Colossians 3 is the same idea here as “shine” φαίνω
φανερόω phaneroo “to make manifest or visible or known what has been hidden or unknown, to manifest, whether by words, or deeds, or in any other way”
φαίνω phaino (coming from light phos) meaning “to bring forth into the light, cause to shine, shed light”
And the same word used as when Christ will appear φανερόω phaneroo was used here
1Jo 4:9
In this the love of God was made manifest (φανερόω phaneroo) among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.
It is often believed by Christians we are just here to wait until Christ returns. Yet we are called to change this world, We are the lights of the world. We have been called to manifest Christ to the world now. Granted a dying world. Most will not receive the light but some will.
The love of God was already manifested to among the believers and the more we manifest Christ the more the world can be changed. Of course we are never going to conquer all death until Jesus returns at the end, but we are called to build his Body know and manifest Him.
Christ is appearing now through His Body on earth and finally all darkness will be eliminated in the new heavens and earth
My wife and I just got back from a beautiful ten days of paradise in Puerto Morelos, mexico! It was our tenth anniversary! It cemented my love for her and hers for mine. (just a couple of weeks ago I was ready to split up) In spite of all the trial we have had a fantastic time.
It was like a miracle. I felt like I was in a dream! I NEVER THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DO THIS AGAIN.
When the globalist$ started sending viruses and forced vaccinations all around the WHO globe, I though I would never see Mexico again. But we did and we did it together!!
How many times I was tempted to pack my bags and leave Trudy land, but by the grace and power of God we passed a wonderful time. It was to me a miracle of miracles!!
So far beyond my expectations. Ephesians 3:20 style!! We met both half and half. I left my wife at the resort Jade Dreams pool for part of four days alone and she could do her thing and I went scuba diving twice in Puerto morelos reefs on teus 45 and 35 feet deep. (I was stressed that i could not do it because of age etc) but i did it like I was a fish that I am! I had a bout with anxiety and could not sleep the night before the first dive but my dear Guylaine encouraged me and i finally got enough sleep. I proved I was a shark after all!
Then Wed I dived twice in Cozumel 80ft deep at the wall and then 40 feet and finally Guylaine let me do Friday again in Puerto morelos two dives 40 and 30 feet on the reefs. Oh my Lord, thanks!! I videoed a nurse shark, barracuda, ray and photoed an amazing amount of sea life, which I will be sharing
I also went through a Cenote underground river Rio Secreto but they did not let me take my own photos
I had many opportunities to speak my third language Spanish and see some great Mexican culture. if felt like Canada is my second home and Mexico is the third home.
Coming home was challenging but well worth the BS. We landed around 4pm and went smoothly through the customs leaving but comming home to Canada was another story!
First we were herded like cattle through all these corral lines at the Trudeau airport and then Guylaine was chosen by random to go down another line to be covid tested (she gets her results in a few days and if positive must quarantine ten days,,,ten seems to be the number of our trip)
Then finally being released to freedom in Canada we picked up or suitcase (all passed customs with no problem) and then we had to drag them to the transport to our parking)
Arrived at the parking and our Nissan Suv did not start! We had to call for some one to jump start 50 bucks. Then because it was an unknown electrical problem we had to drive staight home (3 hours) and thank God we had a half tank! But when we got to the electric gate the code did not work. I had to ask the people in line to back up and we parked on the side and tried calling park and ride but got of course a voice mail.. Waiting a bus from park and ride appears and we got help finally. He helped us get through the gate and we made the three hours trip is was now around 8 pm and so we drove without stopping and did not eat until we got home (all restaurant were closed) And on top of that I get a virus (meaning a cough and sniffles)… Thank you Lord it did not happen during the ten days when I was needing clear sinuses to dive !!!!!! GOD IS GREAT AND WE HAD A GREAT TIME INSPITE OF ALL THE TESTS AND WE ARE IN LOVE NOW LIKE BEFORE COVID!!!!!!!!
¡Mi esposa y yo acabamos de regresar de unos hermosos diez días de paraíso en Puerto Morelos, México! Fue nuestro décimo aniversario. Se consolidó mi amor por ella y el de ella por el mío. (hace apenas un par de semanas estaba listo para separarnos) A pesar de toda la prueba hemos tenido un tiempo fantástico.
Fue como un milagro. ¡Me sentí como en un sueño! NUNCA PENSÉ QUE IBA A HACER ESTO DE NUEVO.
Cuando los globalistas$ empezaron a enviar virus y vacunas forzadas por todo el mundo de la OMS, pensé que no volvería a ver México. ¡¡Pero lo hicimos y lo hicimos juntos!!
Cuantas veces estuve tentada de hacer las maletas y dejar la tierra de Trudy, pero por la gracia y el poder de Dios pasamos un tiempo maravilloso. ¡¡Fue para mí un milagro de milagros!!
Mucho más allá de mis expectativas. ¡¡Estilo Efesios 3:20!! Nos conocimos mitad y mitad. Deje a mi esposa en la piscina del resort Jade Dreams por parte de cuatro días sola y ella pudo hacer lo suyo y yo fui a bucear dos veces en los arrecifes de Puerto morelos en teus 45 y 35 pies de profundidad. (Me estresaba que no pudiera hacerlo por la edad etc) pero lo hice como si fuera un pez que soy! Tuve un ataque de ansiedad y no pude dormir la noche anterior a la primera inmersión pero mi querida Guylaine me animó y finalmente pude dormir lo suficiente. ¡Demostré que era un tiburón después de todo!
Luego el miércoles buceé dos veces en Cozumel 80 pies de profundidad en la pared y luego 40 pies y finalmente Guylaine me dejó hacer el viernes de nuevo en Puerto morelos dos inmersiones 40 y 30 pies en los arrecifes. ¡¡Oh mi señor, gracias!! Hice un video de un tiburón nodriza, una barracuda, una raya y fotografié una cantidad increíble de vida marina, que voy a compartir.
También pasé por un cenote del río subterráneo Río Secreto pero no me dejaron tomar mis propias fotos
Tuve muchas oportunidades de hablar mi tercer idioma, el español, y de ver la gran cultura mexicana, si me sentí como si Canadá fuera mi segundo hogar y México el tercero.
La vuelta a casa fue un reto, pero mereció la pena. Aterrizamos sobre las 4 de la tarde y pasamos sin problemas por la aduana, pero volver a casa, a Canadá, fue otra historia.
Primero fuimos arreados como ganado a través de todas estas líneas de corrales en el aeropuerto Trudeau y luego Guylaine fue elegida al azar para ir a otra línea para ser examinada de covirus (ella obtiene sus resultados en unos pocos días y si es positiva debe estar en cuarentena diez días,, diez parece ser el número de nuestro viaje)
Entonces, finalmente, ser liberado a la libertad en Canadá que recogió o maleta (todo pasó la aduana sin problemas) y luego tuvimos que arrastrar al transporte a nuestro aparcamiento)
¡Llegamos al parking y nuestro Nissan Suv no arrancaba! Tuvimos que llamar a alguien para arrancar 50 dólares. Luego, debido a un problema eléctrico desconocido, tuvimos que conducir directamente a casa (3 horas) y ¡gracias a Dios que teníamos medio depósito! Pero cuando llegamos a la puerta eléctrica el código no funcionaba. Tuve que pedirle a la gente de la fila que retrocediera y aparcamos en el lateral e intentamos llamar a park and ride pero nos dieron por supuesto un correo de voz.. Esperando aparece un autobús de park and ride y por fin nos ayudaron. Nos ayudó a pasar por la puerta e hicimos el viaje de tres horas es ahora alrededor de las 8 pm y así que condujimos sin parar y no comimos hasta que llegamos a casa (todos los restaurantes estaban cerrados) Y encima de eso me da un virus (es decir, una tos y sniffles) … ¡¡¡¡¡¡Gracias a Dios no pasó durante los diez días en los que estaba necesitando despejar los senos nasales para bucear !!!!!! ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡DIOS ES GRANDE Y LO PASAMOS MUY BIEN A PESAR DE TODAS LAS PRUEBAS Y ESTAMOS ENAMORADOS AHORA COMO ANTES COVID!!!!!!!!
Ma femme et moi venons de rentrer d’un magnifique séjour de dix jours de paradis à Puerto Morelos, au Mexique ! C’était notre dixième anniversaire ! Cela a cimenté mon amour pour elle et le sien pour le mien. (Il y a quelques semaines à peine, j’étais prêt à me séparer). Malgré toutes les épreuves, nous avons passé un moment fantastique.
C’était comme un miracle. J’avais l’impression d’être dans un rêve ! JE N’AI JAMAIS PENSÉ QUE J’ALLAIS REFAIRE ÇA.
Lorsque les mondialistes ont commencé à envoyer des virus et à imposer des vaccinations dans toute la planète OMS, j’ai cru que je ne reverrais jamais le Mexique. Mais on l’a fait et on l’a fait ensemble !!
Combien de fois ai-je été tenté de faire mes valises et de quitter le pays de Trudy, mais par la grâce et la puissance de Dieu, nous avons passé un moment merveilleux. C’était pour moi un miracle des miracles ! !!
Tellement au-delà de mes attentes. Style Ephésiens 3:20 ! ! Nous nous sommes rencontrés moitié-moitié. J’ai laissé ma femme à la piscine du complexe Jade Dreams pendant une partie des quatre jours, seule, pour qu’elle puisse faire ce qu’elle voulait, et j’ai fait deux fois de la plongée sous-marine dans les récifs de Puerto Morelos, à 45 et 35 pieds de profondeur (on m’a dit que je ne pourrais pas le faire à cause de mon âge, etc. J’ai eu un accès d’anxiété et je n’ai pas pu dormir la nuit avant la première plongée mais ma chère Guylaine m’a encouragé et j’ai finalement réussi à dormir suffisamment. J’ai prouvé que j’étais un requin après tout !
Ensuite, le mercredi, j’ai plongé deux fois à Cozumel à 80 pieds de profondeur sur le mur, puis à 40 pieds et enfin Guylaine m’a permis de refaire le vendredi à Puerto morelos deux plongées à 40 et 30 pieds sur les récifs. Oh mon Dieu, merci ! J’ai filmé un requin nourrice, un barracuda, une raie et photographié une quantité incroyable de vie marine, que je vais partager.
J’ai aussi traversé un cénote de la rivière souterraine Rio Secreto, mais on ne m’a pas laissé prendre mes propres photos.
J’ai eu de nombreuses occasions de parler ma troisième langue, l’espagnol, et de découvrir la culture mexicaine. J’ai eu l’impression que le Canada était ma deuxième maison et que le Mexique était ma troisième maison.
Le retour à la maison a été difficile, mais il en valait la peine. Nous avons atterri vers 16 heures et avons passé sans problème la douane, mais le retour au Canada était une autre histoire !
D’abord, on nous a fait passer comme du bétail par toutes ces lignes d’enclos à l’aéroport Trudeau, puis Guylaine a été choisie au hasard pour passer une autre ligne afin de subir un test de covidie (elle recevra ses résultats dans quelques jours et, si elle est positive, elle devra rester en quarantaine pendant dix jours, dix semblant être le nombre de notre voyage).
Après avoir été libérée au Canada, nous avons récupéré nos valises (toutes ont passé la douane sans problème) et nous avons dû les traîner jusqu’au parking.)
Arrivés au parking, notre Nissan Suv n’a pas démarré ! Nous avons dû appeler quelqu’un pour qu’il nous aide à démarrer, pour 50 dollars. Puis, comme il s’agissait d’un problème électrique inconnu, nous avons dû rentrer directement à la maison (3 heures) et Dieu merci, nous avions un demi-réservoir ! Mais quand nous sommes arrivés à la barrière électrique, le code ne fonctionnait pas. J’ai dû demander aux gens qui faisaient la queue de reculer et nous nous sommes garés sur le côté. Nous avons essayé d’appeler Park and Ride, mais nous sommes tombés sur une boîte vocale. En attendant, un bus de Park and Ride est apparu et nous avons finalement reçu de l’aide. Il nous a aidés à passer la barrière et nous avons fait le voyage de trois heures. Il était maintenant environ 20 heures et nous avons conduit sans nous arrêter et n’avons pas mangé jusqu’à ce que nous soyons arrivés à la maison (tous les restaurants étaient fermés). Merci Seigneur, cela ne s’est pas produit pendant les dix jours où j’avais besoin d’avoir les sinus dégagés pour plonger ! !!!!!. DIEU EST GÉNIAL ET NOUS AVONS PASSÉ UN BON MOMENT MALGRÉ TOUS LES TESTS ET NOUS SOMMES AMOUREUX MAINTENANT COMME AVANT COVID !!!!!!!!

¿Estaba el apóstol Pablo confundido cuando escribió Romanos 2:13? Porque este versículo no parece pertenecer a la Biblia:
Porque no son los oidores de la ley los que son justos ante Dios, sino que los hacedores de la ley serán justificados. (Romanos 2:13)
¿Los hacedores de la ley serán justificados?
¿Tenía Pablo un momento de vejez? ¿Olvidó insertar la palabra NO?
Hay una explicación fácil para este extraño verso, a la que llegaremos en un minuto. Pero primero, seamos claros: somos justificados sólo por la fe y NO por guardar la ley.
Ya que hemos sido justificados por la fe, tenemos paz con Dios por medio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo. (Romanos 5:1)
La justificación por la fe es uno de los grandes temas de los escritos de Pablo. Una y otra vez, nos recuerda que somos justificados o reconciliados con Dios por medio de la fe en su Hijo (Rom. 3:28, Gal. 3:24).
Puesto que somos justificados por la fe, y la ley no es de la fe (Gál. 3:12), nadie puede ser justificado por cumplir la ley.
Por las obras de la Ley ninguna carne será justificada ante él. (Romanos 3:20)
Y una vez más para enfatizar:
Sabemos que una persona no es justificada por las obras de la ley, sino por la fe en Jesucristo. (Gálatas 2:16)
Pablo no puede ser más claro. Somos justificados por la fe, no por la ley. Trata de impresionar a Dios con tu cumplimiento de la ley, y caerás de la gracia y te separarás de Cristo:
Los que queréis ser justificados por la ley habéis sido separados de Cristo; habéis caído de la gracia. (Gálatas 5:4)
Entonces, con un mensaje tan claro (fe, no ley), ¿por qué dice Pablo que los hacedores de la ley serán justificados?
HACEDORES DE LA LEY
Pablo no estaba diciendo: “Traten de cumplir la ley y se justificarán ante Dios”, porque eso contradiría lo que dice en otra parte sobre ser justificado por la fe.
Estaba diciendo: “Oír la ley no es suficiente, hay que cumplirla – ¡y ninguno de ustedes puede!”.
En el contexto, Pablo estaba hablando a personas que conocían la ley (Rom. 7:1). Como muchos creyentes, se habían criado con una dieta de reglas. Pensaban que si escuchaban las reglas, estudiaban las reglas y las colgaban en sus paredes, Dios quedaría impresionado.
No.
Ir a la iglesia y escuchar las reglas no es suficiente.
Enseñar las reglas y condenar a los que las rompen no es suficiente.
Presionar para que la ley de Dios sea colgada en los juzgados no es suficiente.
Hay que cumplir todas las reglas y nadie puede hacerlo.
Es imposible que un hombre imperfecto cumpla toda una vida de actuación perfecta. Pablo no nos llama a intentar lo imposible, sino que intenta que admitamos la derrota.
Los hacedores de la ley serán justificados, pero tú no eres ni puedes ser nunca un hacedor de la ley.
Sólo hubo un hacedor de la ley que fue hecho justo con Dios y ese hacedor te ofrece su justicia como un regalo gratuito.
Así pues, la ley fue nuestro guardián hasta que vino Cristo, para que fuéramos justificados por la fe. (Gálatas 3:24)
Ser justificado significa que Dios te ha juzgado justo y no culpable de pecado. Ser justificado es ser hecho justo con Dios.
Usted no puede ganar el don de la justicia y no puede justificarse ante Dios. Lo único que puedes hacer es recibir su justicia por la fe.
¿Quieres estar bien con Dios?
Comienza agradeciéndole por Jesús, que fue hecho pecado para que tú pudieras ser justificado y hecho justo (2 Cor. 5:21).
No eres justificado o hecho justo con Dios por algo que tú hagas, sino por todo lo que él ha hecho.
ripeka123 // December 12, 2012 at 3:14 am // ReplyHi Paul. I have been wondering for awhile if you have considered making your blog material more searchable. What I find happens is that I am having a conversation with friends about grace and someone quotes part of a bible verse that challenges what I am saying. And then I think “hey didnt Paul write something about that?” But then I am often unable to find it again as the archives are not searchable apart from short hash tags.A good example is the phrase “work out your salvation with fear and trembling”.The only other thing I can think of is to hashtag key biblical phrases but this could be cumbersome in the index?Perhaps it is possible to put a searchable site engine onto your hosted web blog that would search through the text of your posts? Sorry but I am not IT savvy enough to know what is possible and what is not.Thanks anyway for bothering to write the material in the first place. Your material together with discussions with Christian friends is changing my relationship with Jesus, and it’s great!
