Holy Kiss Greeting: Grace unto you, and peace,
from
God our Father and the Lord
Jesus Christ.
What really is the
heart of the matter? A troubled heart can defile man, notably
with his own mouth.
Matthew 12:34
out of the abundance of the heart the
mouth speaketh
Matthew 15:11
Not that which goeth into the
mouth defileth a man;
but that which cometh out of
the mouth, this defileth a man.
Mark 7:20,21
That which cometh out of the
man, that defileth the man.
For from within, out of the heart of men,
proceed evil thoughts...
John 14:1 Let not your heart be
troubled (lawed, with Law1)
John 14:27 Let not your heart be
troubled (lawed, with Law2)
Hebrews 4:12
The word of God (grace) is
- quick, and
- powerful, and
- sharper than any twoedged sword,
- piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul<-->spirit,
and
- (also
to the dividing asunder) of
the joints<-->marrow,
and
- is a discerner of the thoughts and
- intents of the heart.
Hebrews 13:9
Be not carried away with divers
and strange doctrines.
For it is a good thing
that the heart
be established
with grace,
not with meats that have not profited them that have
been occupied therein.
- "with grace":
"above": "higher than the heavens":
seated (settled): "harmless"
- "under grace":
"beneath": under-taker vs
under-standing: "jeopardy every hour"
Redeemed isn't reconciled, and
reconciled unto his death isn't eternal life.
When redeemed from the law, then "we
are not under the law, but under grace";
But
when under grace as tutor there's still the
matter of grow in grace unto
the fulness of Christ,
which is grace full
(no law at all), mercy full (no sacrifice at all),
peace full (no division at all).
Only truth
full reconciles
the world
unto that God is light, and in him
there is no darkness at
all.
Anything less
than fulness of Christ (end of the law)
won't do. A little leaven leaveneth the
whole.
A little cancer us law can
still kill the whole body. So
the operation of God removes all law in time;
For it was another law witch got churches of Galatia bewitched: removed from the grace of Christ.
Only fools return to their folly
as dogs turned back to their
vomit and washed sows unto their mire.
Law Love will
not do, for it
FAILS as often as people get married and divorced.
Charity (Grace Love,
that never fails) is to be put on above
forgiving one another.
Grace Love does not think evil to
forgive; Nor is JC's
grace over against anyone.
The grace (that love: that God) of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you all. Amen.
So what's really the heart
of the
matter? Don Henley's song: The
Heart of the Matter, says I think it's about forgiveness; And
indeed it is, but there are many miss-understandings
about forgiveness. For example forgiveness by law is an endless
mission impossible many fail to realize. All who tried to attain
righteousness (grace) of the law failed to attain it: Romans 9:31. For
by law if you don't first forgive all men all tresspasses, then neither
are you forgiven; And who knows all the tresspasses of all men, or even
those of a spouse or neighbor? Furthermore the only plausible way to
forgive all men all tresspases is by abolition of law, since
by the
curse of the law in Do-teronomy & Don't-eronomy if any try and fail
to keep all the law all the time, unto a 1000 generations, then all are
accursed; And any law imputed sin to anyone also imputes unpardonable
sin and a death sting to all. So reconciling the world
to that God, in Christ (is the
end of the law), does not law impute (unpardonable) sin, as is
noted in
2Corinthians 5:19; Nor does it law judge any, because law judging is inexcusable
behaviour and self-condemning with four notable consequences:
Romans 2:
- indignation (James/John wanting to
be left/right moved the ten to
indignation)
- wrath (there is neither peace nor
safety in law worketh wrath is destructive)
- tribulation (JC gave it no place: was not since beginning, no,
nor ever shall be)
- anguish (a servant got
forgiven + unforgiven + tormented by law: Matthew 18)
Merciful Grace does not say forgive us as we forgive others; Nor say
it's you first forgive, then Jesus' God Father will forgive you, as Law
does in the Lord's
Prayer having such leaven;
Which was notably how John the Baptist taught his disciples to pray:
Luke 11:1. For the law and the prophets [were] until John (the
Baptist), but since that time the kingdom of God (grace and truth) is
preached, and every man presseth into it: Luke 16:16.
In comparison and contrast, Grace God first forgave you (past tense):
Ephesians 4:32, and notably while yet a sinner (thinking evil to
forgive or not forgive): Romans 5:8. So let us first learn the
difference between Law and Grace by comparing contrary things,
then let us get our heart established "with grace", and not just "under
grace" where there is still jeopardy
every hour of having our heart troubled (lawed). For the heart
that's established "with grace" never gets troubled, nor
ever gets broken, nor ever has a heart attack, nor ever again defileth
itself with it's own mouth. That sort of established comes by learning
the difference between law
driven vs grace led. Law driven says you first forgive or else
kapow. Grace led says I first forgave you, so do likewise.
God hath forgiven you, and
notably for Christ's sake
in Ephesians 4:32, was not by you first forgiving all men as law
requires for
getting forgiven or not forgiven in Matthew 6:15; But rather by the abolition of
law: Ephesians 2:15 via Christ is the end of the law:
Romans 10:4. For as Paul notes,
Christ died (to the law) for you while you were yet a sinner by the
law,
which makes sinners all, none righteous, no, not one (God is one). So
you are
forgiven by God & Son, but it's notably by abolition of law, not by
you being law abiding to deserve forgiveness, which is a mission
impossible when studied out. Furthermore, the reason biblical charity "never fails",
is because "charity thinketh no evil (law)" to even forgive:
1Corinthians 13. Charity is to be put on "above" forgiving one another,
rather than being offended and then trying to forgive law imputed sin
that's unpardonable in both this world and the to come. So biblical
charity is neither
of two law loves,
but rather perfect love, which is pure grace. Pure grace never fails to
forgive because perfect love does not think any evil to even forgive.
That sort of love of that God, of that sort of grace of Christ, is to
be put on above forgiving one another; And so the heart never gets
troubled (lawed) ever again.
What is the heart of the matter? It is what comes out of our
own mouth,
and from the heart, that either justfies us or condemns you, makes you
either forgiven or unforgiven, as being either with God & Son or
against God & Son, as either gathering with or scattering abroad,
via either good fruit or corrupt fruit, which is to say grace or law.
We find this theme throughout the Bible. For example Job 15:6 says:
Thine own mouth condemneth (laweth) thee, and not I. Matthew 12:30-37
notes the words we speak either justify us or condemn us; And such
justification or condemnation comes "from the heart": Matthew 12;34;
Matthew 15:11-18; Mark 7:18-23; Luke 6:45; Romans 6:17; Ephesians 6:6;
Which is further clarified as doing the will of God: I will
have mercy[grace], and not
sacrifice[law], or not doing the will of God from the heart. Doing
the will of God notably precedes receive the promise: Hebrews 10:36; And all
who did not do it notably died and received not the promise: Hebrews 11:13,39. For
it is written "If any man defile(law) the temple of God(Grace),
him shall God(Law)
destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are":
1Corinthians 3:17. In short, law self-destructs; So if your heart be
troubled(lawed), it will attack and defile itself with it's own mouth.
So we are told make straight paths for our feet:
grace-->mercy-->peace, and "follow after peace", not go after them left or them
right (Luke 17:23; 21:8)
who go to OT Law or NT Law; Lest any root
of bitterness springing up trouble [you], and thereby many be defiled:
Hebrews 12. Blessing(grace) and cursing(law) coming out the same mouth ought
not so to be: James 3:10; Since both blessed(graced) + cursed(lawed) =
"accursed": Galatians 1:8,9. So if any man, or even any angel(minister,
star, messenger) bring you such, let him (not you) be accursed. In
short: take heed that no man deceive (law) you, which would include the
man Christ Jesus,
which is mirrorly reverse of Jesus Christ by whom
came grace and
truth; Not grace and law, which would be as life and death =
dead end = extinction, not salvation.
For the only foundation laid to build on is "Jesus Christ":
Mt 1:1 ...
1Cor 3:11 ... Rev 22:21, "the same" yesterday, to day, and for ever:
Hebrews 13:8; And it is further clarified that both peace with God and
eternal salvation are notably "through Jesus -->
Christ", only "in Christ" thereof. For Jesus did not give them rest
(peace); but rather division and not peace. Jesus took Noahic grace +
law
and made it either grace or law (division, not peace): life or death;
And Christ took grace
or law and made it grace (peace, not divided), by abolishing the
law(the enmity: Eph 2:15), to bring an end to all the law vs law and law vs grace divisions required to
get to the heart of the matter: Christ is the end of the law: Romans
10:4, and not the mend of law: Mark 2:22; Luke 5:36,37. God is the
author of peace, not of confusion. God is the author of grace, not
grace and law, which cannot co-exist in peace, since they are contrary things,
as contrary as bless or curse, with or against, gather or scatter, good
or corrupt, justify or condemn, life or death: the contrary partpart-iality. For
when perfect-ion
comes, as what's best
for all, then part-iality is done away: 1Corinthians 13:10; Which is
also to say when better blessed man kind, childish
things (laws, sacrifices, divisions, cover ups, wars, famines,
earthquakes, troubles, sorrows) are put away: 1Corinthians 13:11. Such
are
childish things of being made one proselyte: more
the CHILD of hell(law) than other hypocrites, fools, blind guides,
and vipers in Matthew 23, where it's noted such like sat in Moses's Seat: Law. The
judgment seat of Christ
is not law(unjust), but rather grace(just); Not unrighteous judgment
nor vengeance of
an unjust judge, but righteous judgment (grace) and mercy upon all; Not
sinners
all by which all perish, but sinners none by which none perish. For
sin is not imputed when there is no law, and Christ is the end of the
law. Where and when no law, there and then no accusation, nor
condemnation, nor concupiscence, nor transgression, nor tresspass, nor
wrath, nor death sting of sin (which law is both the source and
strength of)
notably being the law: the enmity: what's "against" us:
Colossians
2:14, the part to be done away, to end the
What is the heart of the matter? What can trouble the heart to the
point it defiles, condemns, attacks others and thereby condemns itself
with it's
own mouth? When looking at verses talking about trouble(s), troubled,
and troubled water, we find the root source of the trouble (agitation
to<-->fro, disturbing equanimity, disqueting, striking one with
fear and dread, perplexing the mind with scrupples and doubts, etc) is
the law; or our own legalism.
For a heart established with grace neither tempts nor can be tempted:
neither laws nor can be lawed: neither troubles others nor can be
troubled. For by grace is sufficient (no law required) all things work
out for good only, not both good and evil.
The word of
God gets to the heart of
the matter in Hebrews 4,
where it also notes Jesus did not give them rest. It does so by
dividing asunder soul<-->spirit, as with Adam1<-->Adam2 in
1Corinthians 15:45. Then because "as in Adam all die", the word of God
also divides asunder
joints<-->marrow, which is to allegory say rightly divided
laws<-->grace; And notably to discern the thoughts and intents of
the
heart. For what comes out the mouth can either justify
or condemn a person, and what comes out the mouth comes from the heart.
So let not your heart be troubled (lawed), lest it condemn (law) you
with your own mouth. Rather let your heart be established with grace,
so it will justify (grace) you with your own mouth.
To establish a
heart "with" grace (not both with and against), law has to become dead testator
of the New Testament so grace may be of force; Since law makes grace
"no more grace" and Christ of "no effect": Galatians 5:4. As grace
became dead
testator of the Old Testament so law could be of force, Law is to
become dead testator of the New Testament so grace may be of force; And
notably in a manner
that's not adultery (claiming to be espoused to one: grace and found
whoring with another:
law), as explained by Paul The Apostle: Romans 7:2-6 and
Hebrews 9:16,17. So reckon yourself dead to law to become alive unto
God(Grace).
For it's not both first
and last, lest the last state of man be worse; Not both
before and after, lest it be destroyed afterward as
Jude 1:5 notes happened to all the Exodus people. It's not both old and
new: Mark 2:22, lest new wine in old bottles causes "burst": Luke
5:36,37, as notably happened to Judas: Acts 1:18. It's not both child
and man in "Let us make man": Genesis 1:26, nor both child and man in
"when I became a man I put away childish": 1Corinthians 13:11, nor both
child and man in "blessed the man to whom the Lord will not impute
sin": Romans 4:8. So adults who pride themselves on being children of
God are told "be no more
children": Ephesians 4. It's not both condemned and justified by
law and grace, not both extinction(all perish) and salvation(none
perish), which would translate into a global oxymoron like one proselyte who's
both dead and alive, both cold and hot = lukewarm, which won't do, as
noted in Revelation 3:16. Rather it's either or: either justified or
condemned, and by your own mouth from your own heart.
Matthew 12: 30-37's Either Or:
Either with me OR against me
Either gathering OR scattering
Either forgiven OR unforgiven
Either good (grace) OR
corrupt (law)
Either good fruit OR
corrupt fruit of lips
Either you are justified OR
condemned
and it's by thy words, and from
thy heart.
The
grace
of our Lord Jesus
Christ with you all. Amen.
