Holy Kiss: Greeting: Grace unto you, and peace,
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Will of God Reveals Two Immutable Things:

God's Will I will have mercy, and not sacrifice will have grace, not law.

The Will of God: "I will have mercy and not sacrifice" (Matthew 9:13; Hosea 6:6; further clarified in Psalm 40:6; Hebrews 10:8) is also stated in other words and other places in the Holy Bible (Eg: 2Peter 3:9).

God's will is not only "immutable": 'unchangeable' by any means, but as Paul The Apostle aptly says, it's by "two immutable things" (Hebrews 6:18), has two  parts: (i) what God will have: "mercy" (ii) what God will not have: "sacrifice". And the first of such is based on the fact it is impossible for God to lie (an allegory for grace cannot law), which is also why God cannot die.

And what many deceived by many fail to realize is what God will not have is not then, not now, not ever. It is equally as immutable as what God will have then, now, always: mercy. Immutable is not optional. There is no choice in immutable even though it seems optional in the beginning where (plural) God says "let us make man", then gives two options: (i) in our image (ii) after our likeness. Such is given as a before/after comparative teaching, and both this/that are played out in the form of a law/grace shew (the plural of show, yet so much more), and for all to see which is witch of the allegorical twain.

We thereby get understanding of what's best for all, by first seeing what's better of good/better for them/us; with all being one (just us) in the end of such begin/end. For there's no law in heaven, nor in "the God of all grace". So understanding, enlightenment (the all light and no darkness at all sort), and awareness (the opposite of ignorance) is what prevails therein: in him (His Grace) there is no law: sin and death; no fear in perfect love, no darkness in that Light, no sacrifice in merciful, not in "the only wise God", the "living" God of the living. 

Hence it behooves us all (we shall "all" be changed) to get understanding (Prov 4:7), thereby all understand the will of God is immutable x 2: God will have mercy: always, will not have sacrifice: never. It is childish folly to think other wise.

As it brings forth, yet in allegorical fashion in Heb 6, the consolation we have about two immutable things is God cannot lie (law). Note: We learn law is a lie in Jn 1:17 when comparing law/grace of Moses/JC as if lie/truth. So you know God's not lying (lawing) when he says he will not have sacrifice. The because is also stated in Heb 10: it gave him "no pleasure" to watch such sacrifices and offerings (slaughter) which were "of the law" (a ministration of death).

Yet there's two sorts of sacrifices (in the same allegorical fashion there's two laws) to compare as before/after in a good/better shew, the "better sacrifices" spoken of in Hebrews 9:23. However what's also exhorted in Hebrews 6:1 is "leave" (good -vs- better) principles (plural) once you've compared such to get understanding, and go on unto "perfection" (best of good better best), which is "Grace with you all. Amen.(Amen to that only of this/that)" (Heb 13:25). Be "perfect" (Mt 5:48), as perfect as your Father in heaven is, is also "merciful" (Luke 6:36), which is mercy void of sacrifice.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Evil Concupiscence: Don't look down

Grace unto you, and peace, from
God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ

What is "evil concupiscence" (addiction, wretchedness) Pauline mentioned in Romans 7:8; Colossians 3:5; and 1Thessalonians 4:5? It's epithumia: a longing (lust), especially for what's forbidden (from epithumeo: to set the heart upon, desire, covet (from epi and thumos: direction towards passionate wrath, fierce indignation (from thuo ... immolate: do sacrifice, slay, slaughter, kill))). Basically it's devilish law worketh wrath, old dos & don'ts of old Do-teronomy & Don't-eronomy which create in unaware people an overwhelming evil desire (an ungovernable desire). Evil concupiscence is simply law lust, a deadly snare of the devil(law) we ought to be aware of by daring to compare law vs grace (spiritual with spiritual), to get it: "understanding", and understand "grace is sufficient" (meaneth no law required); For "understanding" = "grace glory" in Solomon the wise guy's "with all thy getting, get understanding" (Proverbs 4), which things are an "allegory".

Example: I went home for Thanksgiving, went to church with my parents. It was a lovely service, but ended with: "now don't any of you go home and be mean, especially today". My dad was a die hard legalist, still unaware of evil concupiscence at three score + ten. He went home and began being mean, especially today. He started on my daughter with verbal abuse. And when her daughter, age five, stepped in to protect her mom from such abuse, my dad made a move to beat her into submission for daring to confront him. That's when I walked in, having missed the part which made my daughter run out crying. I withstood him to the face. I also scolded the other adults present for allowing such a disgrace. It completely ruined our family gathering.

I went to see the pastor, told him what he'd said caused a problem, explained to him the biblical concept of evil concupiscence. His response was: "I'm not responsible for what goes on outside the church". Three visits later, he finally acknowledged he knew the problem in his church was legalism (grace + law). He showed me a letter from head office which did not permit him to confront it for fear of a church split. Rather their plan was to flatter the elderly rich, use money collected from such to attract more youth, modernize the music; but do not tell the truth, lest many rich folk stop paying the piper. I was appalled, and felt like burning the church down with the pastor locked inside.

Result: Many are add versely affected, go in endless cycles of temporary repentance and addiction, never realizing the root cause is law nor ever getting free. And I don't say this to condemn the pastor, who's doing a good job of this himself ("by thy words thou art condemned"), but rather so what he says won't condemn you all in the process of condemning himself, by adding law to grace is sufficient. A follow up inquiry revealed the pastor has had a visitation from the tormentor, and an even more legalistic pastor has come on the scene to ensure the people stay ensnared. Rumor has it they've never had so many funerals, including my dad who never recovered from such a snare of the devil. That's why I promote awareness and understanding worldwide on the internet, for if the blind lead the blind, both perish in ignorance.

Parents ignorantly use evil concupiscence on their children, then wonder why they're disobedient, often blaming a friend, and false accusation only drives a wedge between parent & child. It's better to take time to explain than make a commandment having a penalty. Penalty for crime has not deterred crime. In fact the only thing which defines anything as a crime, anyone as a criminal, is the law; so the more law added, the more crime & criminals there will be, till jails are full of people victimized with evil concupiscence.

Such is often rooted in homes, schools, and churches, indicating there is mass ignorance about evil concupiscence. Many are victims of overwhelming desire to do what's been forbidden, creating many addictions and battles lost. The failure rate and number of casualties secretly losing the battle with fear hath torment is astounding. For example, at a real estate conference the speaker might say: "Don't commit mortgage fraud", followed by "so many Realtors are doing it that Realtors now have a reputation below a used car salesman".

Why? Law is the strength of sin (1Cor 15:56). And "evil concupiscence" of law still seems to ensnare many unaware what law was, unaware it's done away (2Cor 3), abolished (Eph 2), blotted out (Col 2), taken away (Heb 10), because it was a put off (Col 3). He taketh away the first (law) that he may establish the second (grace). Many still try, and fail, to establish grace without taking away law. The resulting mixture is a perversion of both law and grace; for true law has no grace nor any mercy, as true grace has no law nor any sacrifice. Adding law makes grace "no more grace" (Rom 11:16).

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Of This or That, I AM THAT I AM

Grace unto you, and peace,
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Of this/that Gods: I am THAT I AM means I am That God

There's virtually two (twain) of everything in an allegorical shew of a Holy Bible containing Old and New Testaments. The trick is to compare and contrast contrary things till it becomes evident from the evidence which is witch of twain things; And then go on to what's best of three things.

Of Scriptures (plural), written as contrary Scripts per say, what saith the Script-u-are? Such is the question it plainly asks and answers in Galatians 4, about two sons of Abraham by two different mothers: these "are the two covenants", and "this" Agar is Mt Sinai, "which things are an allegory".

If such things an allegory we can't always take things literally, but should look for the allegorical meaning to solve the mystery, learn from such. And when comparing things, the Bible often does so as old/new (testaments) before/after (orders), good/better (hopes), great/greater (prophets), first/last (adams), first/second (comings), also this/that (I AMs), twain and contrary things trying to coexist; even this/that (spirits), but one false, one true (1Jn 4); one is of God, one is not. So, God clarifies: I AM "THAT" I AM.

What many deceived by many haven't yet realized, is there are lots of twainy things in the Holy Bible saying I am, or I exist. For example, many shall come in my name saying: "I am" (Christ), and shall "deceive" many (Mt 24; Mk 13; Lk 21). The two allegory things are law and grace, allegorical for death and life, fear and love, sacrifice and mercy, etc; often also compared as "this" and "that"; rather this or that since they're contrary, and contrary things don't mix well nor coexist in peace. Of this/that Gods saying I exist, the real one clarifies to Moses: I AM "THAT" I AM ( Ex 3:14); whom "God" previously called "Moses, Moses" (Ex 3:4) for being dblemindead (mixing grace + law).

In essence "I AM THAT I AM" is saying I'm "that God" in 1Jn 1:5 / 2Cor 5:19, " that Spirit" in 2Cor 3:17; all love & no fear at all (1Jn 4) , all mercy & no sacrifice at all (Mt 9:13) , all grace & no law at all (Gal 5:23; 1Pet 5:10). And "that" God, "the God of all grace" in 1Pet 5:10, is a God who makes a "you" perfect: stablishes, strengthens, settles in "you" (kingdom of God is within "you") which is witch of grace and law; but only after "ye" have suffered a while, as the "after" part of a before(ye)/after(you) shew similar to Melchesedic (before) / Jesus ("after") shew in Heb 7... the first being faulty (all die), or good, but also good + evil, witch was a bad ending, the second being better (all live) of good/better things compared as before/after.

Or we could say after "ye" have unsuccessfully played hide & seek, seek & find, haven't found what you're seeking (and because "ye" do "err"), then press the "help" button in Heb 4:16  to "find grace, to help, in time, of need". But a clarifier therein is "let us therefore come boldly" to the throne of "grace", which as much as says come as a collective whole, as all for one and one for all, not as Humpty Dumpty (indecisive), nor as children tossed to & fro (wavering). For that God is one and for all, not an unjust judge who can be hounded to change his immutable will by silly women or foolish children. No amount of lying, crying, or dying will ever change that God who changes not, nor has any shadow of turning. For in James 1: "if any of you lack wisdom ... ask God. But a clarifier therein also says children tossed to and fro, those being Hympty Dumpty, need not even bother asking.

To wit, "that God" was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation: Grace (2Corinthians 5:19). Allegory Note: The (singular) "word of reconciliation", notably committed unto us of them/us, is grace. On the contrary part, the imperfect part, their part, the world of alienation is law: the abomination of desolation. Which (law/grace) things are an allegory.
