DIVORCE.Dissolution
of marriage. It was a thing which did not exist in the beginning. But divorce
was tolerated by God because of the hardness of the heart of people. Matt
19/3-12.
The Bible warns us against the divorce and urges the disciples to love one another 1 Cor 7/10-12.
It is not his own doctrine. It comes from the One who sent him. Jn 7/16. He was limited, being a creature containing God. For example, he did not know the day nor the hour Mk 16/32. He who does not have the doctrine of Christ does not have God. 2 Jn 9.
Il is strange to notice that John said not to greet a person who does not have the doctrine of Christ 2 Jn 11, whereas the doctrine of Christ teaches that we should greet all men and not only our brothers. Matt 5/47.
This
means that we should not mix with the wrong people. Paul says it in Rm 16/17-19;
we should be particularly careful with those people who sutff their faces in
our banquets and then divert the hearts of simple people from the Truth through
murmuring, complaining about their fate, walking according to their greed, speaking
in an arrogant way, and profiting as much as they can of the kindness and generosity
of the disciples of Jesus-Christ pushing them to the limit. These people are
clouds without water, pushed by the winds; automn trees without fruit, twice
dead, uprooted; furious waves of the sea, rejecting the foam of their impurities;
erring stars, for whom the obscurity and darkness are reserved for eternity.
Jude 12-16.
No
wonder John, the Apostle of love, tells us not even to greet them. Each should
be guided by the Holy-Spirit in everything!
John-the-Baptist
saw the Holy Spirit come on the Lord Jesus-Christ Mt 3:16. But it is
not written that all the attendants saw the dove. It must have been a vision.
DUTY.
To
observe the Commandments of God is every man's duty Ec 12/15. To practice
justice is also the duty of the children of God. Mi 6/8. Our duty as
sons and daughters of God is to obey our father rather than men. Acts 5/29.

Jesus-Christ has created the earth and this is where he wants us to live our experience of mortal life. He gave us the earth so that we subdue it Gn 1/28. The Earth is the Lord's Ex 9/29 Ps 24/1. He gave it to us Ps 115/16. It is Him who has created the earth and men upon it Is 45/12 God restored the earth Gn 1/9. The earth is reserved for fire 2 Pt 3/7, 3/10. There will be a new earth and new Heaven Rev 21/1. See Apocalypse. Beginning. Fall
This
word has several meanings in the Bible. Gn 50/7. Jos 20/40. Matt 15/2.
Elders were ordained in the local churches Acts 14/23. They were called
for the prayer to heal the sick Jm 5/14.
ECCLESIASTES.
O.T.
Book
of the Old Testament. A book of thought. An ecclesiastic is a preacher. The
Ecclesiastes writes like the people who don't know what the Bible says. This
book seems negative, even pessimistic. Ecc 9/5 to 10.
Jesus-Christ
wants us to understand through this text that this way of seeing is not the
good one; that it is the way people of the world see. That it is the vision
of the non-enlightened people. It is in the chapters 11 and 12 that
you will find what really has value, i.e. The obedience to the good laws of
the Eternal.
EDEN.
There
is a Celestial Eden and an earthly Eden. The Celestial Eden is called: 'Paradise'.
Paul was taken up to this place. 2 Co 12/2-4. And from there Lucifer
was cast down on earth. Ezech 28/13 He entered the serpent which was
in the fields Gn 3/1, and crept into the Garden of Eden which Adam and
Eve were not keeping diligently Gn 2/15.
Eden
is the place in which God made a garden for Adam. Gn 2/8 to 3/24 4/16.
It was somewhere in the East. Adam and Eve became mortal in this garden.
The
devil also attempted to kill Jesus-Christ in a garden, the garden of Gethsemane,
during the night of wednesday 5 to Thursday 6 april. See Jesus-Christ.
Jesus was dying in this garden, victim of an assault from the devil, and he
prayed with zeal so that God let this cup (death) away from him, and he may
go to the cross, and die for us according to the Will of the Father. Lk
22/44. The prayer of Jesus was fulfilled. Hb 5/7. See Gethsemane.
The Will of Jesus-Christ was not enough to keep him alive. He was exhausted,
his soul was sorrowful to the point of death. Mk 14/34. For this reason,
He asked the Will of the father to be done, and not his own will.
All
the true disciples of Jesus-Christ know that the will of the father was not
for Jesus to die in the garden. Adam already had died there. Jesus neeeded to
die, being raised up on the wood, as the bronze serpent of Moses Jn 3/14.
The devil hurt Jesus to death in the garden so that he was sweating of blood.
He was suffering of internal bleeding. Jesus prayed in the garden and his prayer
was answered. Adam listened to the devil in the garden and he died!
It is Cham, the son of Noah who is the ancestor of Egypt Gn 10/6-20. (Jer 46/7-9.)
North-east of Africa. Abraham and Joseph in Egypt. Gn 12/10. Joseph sold in Egypt Gn 45/4-5. Jacob goes to Egypt Gen 46/1-7. The people of God leaves Egypt under Moses' guidance Ex 3/7-10. Heb 11/27. Egypt is often the synonyme of the mal Ez 29/14-15. Joseph and Mary receive the order to leave for Egypt Matt 2/13.
In
the pre-mortal life, God has chosen the siprits who would be sent on earth and
would be incarnated.
God
has elected some siprits so that they glorify Him on the earth. They are those
who had not been shaped for the perdition, who did not revolt during the rebellion
of Lucifer. Rm 9/22-23 see Lucifer,
Satan.
The spirit of a child of God is thus an eternal spirit which is incarnated in the flesh. His past memory was erased. He does not remember his eternal past. But when he hears the voice of the good sheperd, he recognizes him and follows the Lord with joy. Jn 10/4-14
The
soul which is born of the fusion of this elected spirit with the body woven
in the belly of a mother will be saved. It is predestined for salvation by election.
See predestination.
