THE PREGNANT BRIDE OF CHRIST

 

Human marriage is a shadow of GOD, Christ and the church.  Scripture says that even now Christians are called the sons of GOD,  1 John 3:2 Even though we are called sons now we have not yet been born. It does not yet appear what we will be.  GOD calls things that are not yet as though they are, things that do not yet exist as though they do.  Romans 4:17  This verse is saying that GOD calls the church HIS sons even though they have not yet been born.  Jesus said the church must be born again and by this birth be able to see the kingdom of GOD.  In  John 3:8 Jesus describes what someone is like who is born again,  they are like the wind that blows where it wishes and a person hears the sound but doesn’t know where it comes from or where it is going.  This describes a spirit being which is what the church will be when born again.  At the present time we are like the embryo in the womb, the church is our mother , Christ our husband.  The church is pregnant with the future sons of GOD.  They are GODS sons because HE adopts them as Jacob adopted Joseph’s sons Ephraim and Manasseh.  Ephesians 1:5  The saints are developing in the womb of the church that is the bride of Jesus Christ.  This explains how we are GODS sons and Jesus our elder brother.  Galatians 4:4,5   Romans 8:29,30   John 1:12,13  During our spiritual development we have a portion of GODS spirit DNA (divine nature acquired)  and are to grow to become like Jesus gave example to us when he was on earth awaiting his own spiritual body.  Jesus already was perfect in his human spirit, all he needed was changed to a spirit body.  Just as in a human marriage there can be no adultery, as this betrays the love covenant between husband and wife, there cannot be spiritual adultery in our marriage to Christ.

Just as the husband would give his life to protect his wife Jesus actually did.  The husband is to provide for his wife and Jesus, as mediator, provides his bride with all the blessings and gifts his FATHER gives to the church through him.  We wait in faith while being covered in grace for the day we all together are born again.  Jesus was the first to be born into the kingdom and because of him and our FATHER we will follow Jesus into that same kingdom.  Then we will be like him for we shall see him as he is.

SIN TEMPTATION FALSE MINISTERS WOOD HAY STUBBLE GOLD SILVER PRECIOUS STONES LAODICEANS PHILADELPHIANS

 

I have posted articles here that explain just what sin is and what temptation is.  As a brief review sin is not by word or deed but by thought . Matthew 15:18,19,20  Your human spirit is the birthplace of sin.  The words and deeds are the result of these thoughts.  Your sins are the cause of , the result of, the manifestation of the evil thoughts you have.  Dead people cannot sin because they can no longer think.  Romans 6:7

Temptation is a word that if not applied in the proper way will lead to an incorrect conclusion.  If you are tempted this does not mean that you have sinned.  In order for the temptation to be sin you must give into the temptation, you must in your spirit consider responding to the temptation. James 1:14  If I were to tempt you to kill your entire family would you consider it ?  No, you would not, the temptation to do this would not be successful as it would not make you want to do it.  This means the temptation is unsuccessful, yes you were tempted but you did not respond.  Now, if I were to tempt you with something that you would not find repulsive then you may very well consider doing it.  Once you consider and are enticed then sin is born even before you act on it, you only need to think about it.  Exodus 20:17  Romans 7:7  So then, temptations are only sin if you actually consider responding to them.  

Jesus confirmed this description of sin and temptation when he said to look on a woman and lust for her is sin or to hate another is murder.  Matthew 5:21,22  Matthew 5:28  Evil thoughts are what defile us even though we do not do what we were tempted with.  

OK.  Now let’s look at the temptation of Christ by Satan.  There are false ministers that say Jesus was tempted, that the temptation was successful otherwise it would have been a farce .  If these ministers are correct then Jesus, by his own definition of what sin is, did indeed sin and we have no messiah.  The false ministers do not understand what temptation and sin really is.  They are not saying that Jesus had the potential to sin they say he did sin.  What this does is assume that Jesus was like we are in every way, it makes Jesus like us rather than like his GOD. This is an excellent example of the carnal mind, a carnal way of thinking that leads to death.  These false ministers may have some truth in what they say but it is mixed in with lies.  This is how Satan operates, mix some truth with lies.  What truth you have must be compromised to accommodate the lies therefore all of what you have is lies.  The false ministers do not see that the temptation of Jesus by Satan was to prove that Jesus was like his FATHER .  GOD cannot be tempted with evil,  James 1:13 ,  and neither could Jesus. This temptation by Satan proves this. This makes Jesus the perfect messiah, the one all the prophets declared would be a perfect lamb without spot or blemish. 

 Jesus Christ was incapable of sin because his GOD and FATHER created him righteous and full of agape.  Jesus was the image of GOD in righteousness and agape.  Hebrews1:3  This in no way makes Jesus YAHWEH , it makes him the messiah, the perfect Passover lamb.  Churches that say things contrary to the truth I have written here preach another Jesus. 2 Corinthians 11:4  All these churches will, if they refuse to repent and be corrected by GOD,  face judgment.  If alive at the time of the great tribulation all these churches will be Laodiceans and all their foundations will be tested by fire and their lies, their wood, hay and stubble burned and they suffer loss but they need gold tried in the fire and must buy it from GOD and the price for it will be their lives, they must be martyred, then if they repent and accept their fate they will be in the first resurrection with the 144,000 elect.  Each man, each woman, each person must build on their own foundation and cannot use the foundation of someone else.  All the saints must acquire gold, silver and precious stones to build on the foundation of the prophets, Apostles and Christ.  It is like the talents Jesus spoke about, we cannot bury our talents so we cannot build with wood, hay or stubble.  

If we are in the end times and have been called and chosen by GOD then we need to make that calling and election sure. The key of David is repentance, a broken spirit, a contrite heart GOD will not despise.  Psalm 51:17 This key then opens the door for us to receive the awesome blessings of GOD.  Matthew 7:7  This will make us Philadelphians .

THE IMAGE OF CHRIST

2 Corinthians 3:18 says that Christians are in the process of being transformed into the image of Jesus Christ. Christ was the image of the invisible GOD, the radiance of GODS glory the express image of GODS nature of agape and righteousness.  1 John 3:2  Philippians 3:21  Romans 8:29 

 Ephesians 4:23,24  John 17:22  all are saying the same thing.  

Now let us examine the teachings of a certain man who is highly esteemed by many. Luke 16:15.  His teaching is that it was possible for Jesus to have sinned, he teaches that Jesus asked his FATHER to escape the crucifixion and that Jesus was glorified flesh when raised from the dead.  He says Jesus was like us in every way. In the minds of people that believe this man they would see a Jesus that was as weak as they are because he was tempted and could have sinned, a Jesus that was afraid to face death and went against the will of GOD by wanting to escape the crucifixion and a Jesus raised from the dead as glorified flesh and in heaven is still a human of glorified flesh. 1 Corinthians 15:50  The people see a Christ that has been made more in their image rather than his FATHERS.  They think, oh well Jesus could have sinned so I don’t feel so bad when I sin,  or Jesus didn’t want to die and by fear of death asked his FATHER to save him so if I am weak that’s not so bad , and perhaps , Jesus is glorified flesh and I will be too.  Now if you have a mind to see;  Jesus was as weak as us but just fortunate enough to have never sinned, Jesus was basically a coward and went against GODS will by asking to escape the cross and as a reward for all of this GOD raised him from the dead as glorified flesh, glorifying that which profits nothing. John 6:63  This is the Jesus that is produced if a person believes all the lies that this man teaches. 2 Corinthians 12:4  The truth is that Christians must measure up to the stature and fullness of Christ,  Ephesians 4:13 and be recreated to be in his image as he was created to be in GODS image. Colossians 1:15  That image is absolute perfection, holiness, agape and righteousness an impeccable savior without spot or blemish a perfect Passover lamb. Hebrews 1:3  What this false teacher teaches is blasphemy, Hebrews 10:29  he assassinates the  character of the Christ and calls GOD a liar in the way HE created HIS son and then demotes Christ to glorified flesh rather than the life giving spirit he is today. 1 Corinthians 15:45 All of this man’s teachings prove that he does not know GOD, Christ or the gospel.  

OUR FOUNDATION TRIED WITH FIRE OR NOT

In 1 Corinthians 3:10,11,12,13,14,15   Paul writes about how we build on the foundation he was inspired as an Apostle to lay for us.  This foundation is the prophets, the Apostles and the chief cornerstone, Christ.  There are two types of foundations Paul describes; one that receives a reward and the other that suffers loss.  The one receiving the reward had used gold, silver and precious stones while the other gold, silver, precious stones,wood , hay,  and stubble.  Fire is used to test the foundation of the latter and they will suffer loss but yet will be saved as it were by fire.  Revelation 3:15,16,17,18,19  Laodiceans are lukewarm neither cold or hot, they have used wood, hay and stubble on their foundation being rich and increased with goods needing nothing.  Christ tells them to buy from me gold tried in the FIRE.  This is the tribulation when Laodiceans repent and buy gold at the cost of martyrdom.  The price for buying the gold is their life.

The Philadelphians do not go through this fire as their building materials were gold, silver and precious stones.  There is an innumerable multitude of Laodiceans alive today that have some truth and some lies, that is a foundation of gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay and stubble.  These people are Luke warm Christians that have quenched and grieved the Holy Spirit.

The Philadelphians have persevered , kept HIS word and not denied HIS name.  The open door and key of David provides them with the proper building materials and they have a reward.  Because of this they are protected from the fiery trial that will test the foundations of those who dwell on the earth.   

ROMANS 11:5-8 Romans 6:14 LAW KEEPERS ARE BLIND

 People that think they must keep the Ten Commandments, Sabbath physical rest, the 7 annual holy days or other parts of the law are blind spiritually.  Matthew 5:18  The law was not abolished by Jesus and all of it, all 613 commandments are still in full force.  James 2:10 breaking just one of these 613 commandments breaks all of them.  Galatians 3:10 all law keepers are under a curse because they fail to keep all 613 commandments.  Law keepers today pick and choose what they want to do and throw out the rest and this is a clear violation of what the law itself says. Deuteronomy 4:2   Deuteronomy 12:32   Law keepers need to stone to death anyone in their church that violates the law of Moses.  Hebrews 10:28   Deuteronomy 17:6   Law keepers must offer all the sacrifices demanded by the law.  Law keepers cannot repent and hope for mercy to be forgiven, law keepers die without mercy.  If you are a law keeper you cannot be a Christian and if you claim to be a Christian you cannot be a law keeper.   If then you place yourself under the law then you cannot have grace and if you accept the grace of GOD then you cannot be under the law.  Romans 11:6  Ephesians 2:8,9  All law keepers are alienated from Christ. Galatians 5:4   Romans 3:20  Romans 4:14  Acts 13:39   Scriptures make it so clear that Christians are not under the law and perform none of its works and to do so while claiming to be a Christian makes you a hypocrite, a liar, cursed and cut off from Christ.  Law keeps are not Christians anymore than Jews are.

There are men like Herbert W. Armstrong, William F. Dankenbring, Ron Weinland,  David Hulme,  Joseph W. Tkach and many others were of the Worldwide Church of GOD that no longer exists but many splinter groups have formed over the years.  All these splinter groups are law keepers or more accurately law butchers because all of them pick and choose what the want to keep and discard the rest .

They are all experts in bending and twisting scripture to justify themselves.  They want GODS grace and forgiveness yet place themselves under the law that provided no grace or forgiveness.  They want to be in both covenants at the same time which is impossible.  This type of deception is very powerful because it is biblically based but at the same time combines law and grace in a way that profanes both covenants.  They profane the old covenant by butchering the law and the new covenant by denying the work of Christ who fulfilled the law.  

The law looks good to the carnal mind it seems the right way but is actually death.  Proverbs 14:12  Proverbs 16:25   The law is not for a man who has the imputed righteousness of GOD by faith. 1 Timothy 1:5,6,7   Notice those who have strayed turned to idle talk desiring to be teachers of the law and these law teachers do not understand what they say or the things they state as facts.  It is so obvious that Paul was not  an advocate of the law. All this scriptural evidence has no effect on law keepers as they are spiritually blind.

DOCTRINE OF THE TRUE CHURCH OF GOD

 

                                                        

#1   There is only one GOD, the FATHER, the only true GOD.  Any other teaching is a lie.

#2    Jesus is not GOD, he is the messiah, he was a human being, his beginning was in the womb of his mother, he was incapable of sin, he was glorified when he ascended and is no longer human  but is a life giving spirit, he is the only mediator between GOD and humanity, he has been given access to the power of GOD to complete his work and someday will return to earth bringing his GODS kingdom with him.

#3    Humans are totally mortal and at death their spirit goes back to GOD in a dormant state.  This human spirit is the true person and the fleshly body an earthly temporary dwelling.  In the first resurrection at the return of Jesus the saints will be raised from the dead as glorified spirit beings to rule and reign with Christ as kings and priests.  They will be Elohim or gods that rule over geographic regions once ruled over by demons.  All human spirits came from heaven and return there at death and the body decays to dust , only humans in the first resurrection will return to earth as a spirit being. The second resurrection is one back to fleshly mortality again were everyone will have the Holy Spirit and first opportunity for salvation.  

#4    Salvation was invented by GOD, and Christ was the vehicle used by GOD to provide it.  Only GOD places people in HIS church.  GOD draws these called and chosen to HIMSELF through Jesus and empowers them with GODLY love to begin to live a life pleasing to GOD.  These saints have access to repentance and forgiveness and in their faith in the gospel imputed righteousness.  Salvation can be lost if a saint commits the unpardonable sin.  Pentecost was not the beginning of the church as there were saints before Christ that will be in the first resurrection with the saints after Jesus.  From the time of Adam until the return of Jesus there will be only 144,000 elect saints.  The innumerable multitude will also be in the first resurrection but must first be martyred.  Salvation is when you are a glorified immortal impeccable spirit being in the kingdom of GOD. 

#5    Law and grace are total opposites, the law death, grace life.  Sin is overcome by GODS love that fulfills all laws, does no harm and is expressed in two greatest commandments of love to GOD and love to neighbor.  The law was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil that produces death and grace is the tree of life that produces immortality.  Jesus had no need to abolish the law because he began a totally new covenant not based on law but on faith and grace.  The law was designed by GOD to lead you to Christ who is salvation and once this is done the laws grip on you is over.  The covenants cannot be mixed together.  The law provides none of the things needed for salvation it only brings death.  The entire unconverted world is under the law weather they know it or not and condemned to death for their sins.  Only GOD can give you the understanding of the truth to know all these things.

#6    Salvation is in three stages; the first resurrection, the millennium and the second resurrection.  These are the three measures of meal Jesus spoke about.  The church was symbolized by the two loaves of leavened bread baked on Pentecost.  The two loaves were ; one for the saints before Jesus and one for those after Jesus.  The church is spiritual Israel, the Israel of GOD, the first fruits, the 144,000 elect, the twelve tribes scattered abroad.  All of worldly Christianity is false and of Satan. 

#7    Free will in humanity is absolutely required by GOD to make HIS offer of salvation possible.  GODS love is present in the Christian by the in dwelling of GODS spirit.  GODS love is not forced, programmed or artificial but is real and true.  This love is freely given and freely returned otherwise it is not love.  Before a person is in Christ, is a Christian, they are under the will of Satan and held as a prisoner to sin and death ignorantly worshipping Satan and loving it in a perverted form of Satanic love.  This is the type of love you see in the many false churches today.  True Christians love GOD because HE first loved them.

#8    The will and desire of GOD ALMIGHTY in eternity has been to create other beings who would be similar to HIMSELF.  They would be as righteous as GOD, love as GOD is, holy and perfect, incapable of sin or being tempted into sin.  They would be immortal and composed of spirit and thus be the offspring of GOD.  GOD is eternal with no beginning or ending, HE is omnipresent being everywhere at all times, he has all power and all knowledge and wisdom.  There is nothing that can alter or destroy HIS will and HE will do all that HE desires.  This GOD deserves our worship and love above all else as without HIM willing it to be so you nor anything you have would even exist.  All humanity owes everything they are and have to YAHWEH the ETERNAL great GOD.   If you can understand these things you are blessed because in all of human history there has been only 144,000 who have understood.  This 144,000 is only the beginning of, the first fruit of what GOD has done.  There will be others who will follow later who will have the same hope and opportunity presented to them as the 144,000 had before them.  Currently this is Satans world and GOD has been highly selective in who HE calls and chooses because HE is not willing that any should perish but rather have a better chance in the future millennium and second resurrection.  Time is irrelevant to GOD and has no hold or effect on HIM, therefore when HE speaks a command all contained in that command happens instantly.  From when GOD said, let there be light, all of HIS will was done. Everything recorded in scripture, everything that has happened from those words was accomplished and completed.  Humans however live in a bubble we call time and cannot perceive these things. We must wait for things to be but GOD does not , HE speaks and it is done.  GOD has in eternity know all our sins from cradle to grave before we were alive to commit them.  GOD did not create humanity sinners rather humanity made themselves sinners.  Everything recorded in scripture was about  what the foreknowledge of GOD has been. It will all work out together for good and fulfill GODS will, and indeed it already has.  

This writing is by no means all of the truth of GOD.

WE DO NOT KNOW ALL, SO HOW CAN WE EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH WE HAVE.  

YOUR CHOICE - SATAN OR GOD

 

1 Corinthians 2:6,8   Acts 13:27  Acts 3:17  Psalm 2:1,2  Ephesians 6:12  Proverbs 29:12  Matthew 15:14   Hosea 4:6  the rejection of GOD as king will cause GOD to reject us.  Proverbs 1:24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31   Jeremiah 4:22 

Luke 4:5,6,7   How could Satan make this offer if he was not in all ways the god of this world ?   Satan said, “ for it has been given unto me” , that meaning Satan has absolute control of the world because it was given to him by GOD.  2 Corinthians 4:4  GOD allows this but is not the cause of it and in the same way GOD allows Satan to appoint the leaders and rulers of this world and does not appoint them HIMSELF.  1 John 5:19  Ephesians 2:2   Revelation 12:9   Daniel 4:17   GOD appointed Satan as ruler , leader and god of the world, Satan is the one who sets over it the lowest of men, not GOD.  GOD does not lie, GOD does not do evil, GOD does not tempt or deceive humanity, Satan does all these things. 

GOD is love, we know this.  Is what you see in this world the direct result of GODS doing ?  

Lucifer was the first to reject GOD.  Adam was the second, Israel was the third and the entire world followed except GODS elect saints.  If GOD directly appointed all human leaders and rulers and controlled their actions then why would HE even need Satan at all ?  All human governments are evil and GOD intends to destroy them and replace them with HIS kingdom.  Is GOD the author of evil and confusion ?  Would not GOD be responsible for all the evil of all human governments if HE directly appointed all human leaders ?   It is GODS will that Satan rules the world and HE allows Satan to appoint all the leaders and rulers of this world.  Why do we pray, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven if GODS will is being done by HIS appointing all human rulers ?  Isaiah 9:16   Isaiah 3:12   Ezekiel 22:25,26,27,28,29   describes all governments of men to this day.  Human government is evil , it is the result of humanity rejecting GOD.  GOD did not make it this way, Satan did.  If anyone actively participates in human governments they are part of the evil.  There are only two kingdoms to choose from; that of this world under Satanic control or the kingdom of GOD that GOD has placed under the control of Christ.  No one can have two masters or be in two kingdoms at the same time.  The plain choice is GOD or Satan.  This is the same choice Adam had and he failed but what about you, what choice will you make ?   

CHOOSE YOUR MASTER

 

Your leaders cause you to err and destroy the way of your paths.  Isaiah 3:12   YAHWEH says “your leaders”,  the leaders you vote for destroy the way of your paths .  So,  YAHWEH appoints leaders that cause us to err and destroy the way of our paths, really !?  2 Samuel 14:14   Lamentations 3:33,34,35,36    Isaiah 10:1,2   Habakkuk 1:4   Isaiah 59:15   YAHWEH does not mess up your life, you do that, YAHWEH wants to clean it up.

1 Samuel 8:6,7,8,9   Israel, by wanting human leadership, rejected YAHWEH as king.  Any form of human government does the same thing.  With the elect saints of YAHWEH it is not so, they 100%  acknowledge YAHWEH as king and submit only to HIM.  The saints are to live as though the kingdom is now,  Colossians 1:2  1 Peter 2:9   YAHWEH takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked but yet YAHWEH has appointed evil rulers who have slaughtered millions ?  Really?!   Hosea 8:4   1 Samuel 8:7  2 Kings 17:21   Jeremiah 2:13  Matthew 15:9  John 19:15

I submit that anyone who votes and participates in any form of human government sins against YAHWEH.  You may claim YAHWEH is your king but do you submit totally to HIM ?  Romans 6:16   Matthew 6:24  2 Peter 2:19   1 Corinthians 7:22   James 4:4   Joshua 24:15   Romans 6:13

1 John 2:15,16,17   Romans 8:7   John 15:18,19   1 Corinthians 10:21   Romans 12:2 

Trying to use the scripture to justify voting and taking part in human governments because they seem to you to say;

 oh, YAHWEH has by HIS will established all human leaders and governments and we have the right to participate in them and vote for the leaders that cause us to err and destroy the way of our paths,

  I will deny that this is being a friend of the world and that YAHWEH allows Satan to set up human governments and does not directly do it HIMSELF,

  I want to serve two masters and two kingdoms.I  

I want to be an ambassador that votes in another country not my own,  

I have duel citizenship in heaven and on earth. 

You may try to use the excuse that you do this for yourself and your family so that in hope your vote will bring in a “good” human ruler.  Why not just have YAHWEH as your only king, your only ruler and not reject HIM as Israel did in the days of Samuel.  1 Corinthians 10:11   Romans 15:4   2 Timothy 3:16,17   1 Peter 1:12 

I read in scripture that the saints are not of this world, are not to be a friend of this world, are ambassadors not voters, are strangers and pilgrims as Abraham , as we like he are living in the land of promise but not yet inheritors of it.  

I can’t give the understanding of what I have written here, only YAHWEH can do that if HE is willing and it is your time.   If you are already an elect of YAHWEH and vote in governments of men you lack much spiritual knowledge.  We are only to obey their laws not participate in the making of them or voting for those who make them.  Satan has crept into your spirit and is lying to you.  Your citizenship is in heaven, your name in the book of life from the foundation of the world, you have connection to YAHWEH through Christ to address anything - where is your faith ?

The politics and governments of men is filthy and evil, Satanic.  Satan did not want YAHWEH as his king,  Israel did not want YAHWEH as their king and you, yes you, do not want YAHWEH as your king if you get into the filth of politics and human government.  You become unclean, you have violated the calling you received, lost your fist love.  2 Corinthians 6:17   Matthew 22:37

I challenge anyone to prove that all the scriptures I have given here are wrong and that voting is just fine and dandy,  GOD and Christ approved.  That GOD has HIMSELF directly appointed all human leaders since the beginning of time and Satan had nothing to do with it.  

Exodus 24:7  “all the LORD GOD has said we will do and be obedient.”  Isaiah 43:15   Isaiah 44:6   Matthew 4:10  SERVE GOD ONLY.  Deuteronomy 6:13  Romans 6:16  2 Peter 2:17,18,19,20,21,22  1 Corinthians 7:22  James 4:4   2 Corinthians 5:15   There is a message in all these scriptures that screams out that only GOD is your king, only GOD is to be served,  you should not be a friend of the world, you cannot serve two masters.  Voting is the blind leading the blind,  Matthew 15:14   Isaiah 9:16  Jeremiah 5:31  Proverbs 4:19   Hosea 8:4   

So then, there are two truths of GOD in this article;  GOD has not directly appointed the leaders and rulers of this world but has allowed Satan to do this and second, voting is a sin against GOD and of Satan who was the first one to reject GOD as king then taught humanity to do the same.  Voters do not want GOD to reign over them and want some human instead, well, whatever you sow that will you also reap.  

Jesus told Pilate, you would have no power unless it was given to you from above, by YAHWEH.  Ephesians 6:12  notice it is spiritual rulers, authorities and powers of darkness, did YAHWEH directly appoint these rulers or did YAHWEH give from above that power to Satan ?  

Adam was given dominion over the earth, Adam was the god of the world until he sinned and then Satan became the god of the world.  Christ qualified to take dominion back from Satan but will not until his return.  Then the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of YAHWEH and HIS messiah.  Adam sowed a seed in Eden and reaped the consequences.  YAHWEH is the one Satan refers to in Luke 4:6 as the one who delivered the dominion of earth to him. Who else could have done this ?  As I write these words Satan is in complete control of the world and will remain so until Christ returns and this is YAHWEHS will.
