HEARIt is the first commandment of the Lord on the mount Sina. See Commandment. To hear a man sent by God means: to do what He says. Deut 18/5. To obey the Word is better than all the sacrifices 1 Sam 15/20-23. Those who had not listened to the prophets Dan 9/6.
In
the Bible, the heart is the symbol of the intelligence of Man. Well we know
that we think with our head, but the Bible says that it is in our hearts that
the law of God has been written Ps 37/31. We know that we think with
our brain, but Paul said that it is by believing with our heart that we are
saved Rm 10/9. We know nowadays, that the heart is a pump which has
little to do with the thought, but there is no mistake, the Bible has a reason
to speak like this. This is to stress the difference between the one who thinks
only after receiving the informations from his experiences and five sense, and
the one who believes and acts because of his divine nature, and of the love
for God. The heart of the sage (the believer, who loves God) is powerful and
clever in order to behave according to God's will on this earth..
It is also why the Bible says that the wise man's heart turns him toward his right hand, but a fool's heart toward his left. Ecc 10/2 (We are generally more powerful and clever with their right hand.)
A
broken heart is a repentant heart. A person who repents does not regret only
the evil she did, she is receptive to what God wants to tell her. Her heart
is broken, like the tables of the law which Moses broke. Ps 37/31. Ex 32/19.
Is 57/15.
The Glory of God is to hide the things. Those who have a heart of king, fathom it. Pro 25/2. See David
This
word is used to talk about two different things.
1
Heaven is where God resides, what we call the Absolute. See Fall.
Ps 11/4. Matt 6/9, or the inaccessibility.
2
On the other hand, it is also the vastness surrounding the earth. Gn 1/1,
17. Ex 24/10. We know at least three according to the Bible.
Heaven
is not the paradise.
Paradise,
the third heaven, is the place where the faithful are living after their life
on earth and their death. The Paradise is the place where Jesus is (The Tree
of life). He welcomes those who died as disciples. Rev 2/7. Our
spirits have been in Christ since the beginning of the creation in celestial
places Eph 1/3. See
The fall.
Jesus
said he was going to Paradise with the good thief, Lk 23/43, but the
third day after the resurrection, He told Mary that he had not been to his father
yet. He had then been
1
in Paradise,
2
in the underworld to preach the Gospel, 1 Peter 3/19,
but
he had not yet ascended to the Heavens of the father, which are the eternal,
or inaccessible Heavens Ps 68/34 Ps 8/2..). Jn 20/17, Matt 6/9.
The
Paradise is also the place where Paul went when he was alive. 2 Cor 12/2-4.
The Paradise is the third Heaven.
The
underworld consists of two parts, the Paradise or 'bosom of Abraham' and the
place of torment. Lk 16/19-31. Between the Paradise and the underworld,
there was a distance which could not be crossed Lk 16/26. It is:
1
The earthly mantle.
2
The first heaven, our atmosphere.
3
The second heaven which is infested with evil spirits.
It is this place around Heaven where the evil spirits reside Eph 3/10; Eph 6/12. Those spirits know the infinite variety of the wisdom of God by the Church of Jesus-Christ. Eph 3/10.
The great abyss of Lk 16/26 was open by Jesus-Christ. From now on, those who receive the Gospel in the underworld can ascend to Paradise. 1 Peter 4/6, Eph 4/8-9.
Heavens
are the work of the hands of God Ps 8/4; He made it through his Word;
Ps 33/6. Satan fell from heaven, from the celestial paradise, or third
heaven. Is 14/12. One day, God will roll together the heaven which He
created just like the books were rolled in the past. Is 34/4. And He
will create a new Heaven and a new Earth. Is 65/17.
There
are waterworks in Heavens Mal 3/10. And the prayer taught by Jesus
Matt 6/9-10.
HELL.
The
word is not found in the Bible. Therefore, we must restore the truth.
See
Devil, , Son
of perdition.
The
Jews say ''scheol', the Greeks say ''Hades'' and Christians say ''hell''. All these words describe the same thing.
The underworld consists of two regions. The first is the Paradise, It is where
Jesus went with the thief who was on the cross beside him. Lk 23/43.
See heaven.
The
second place is a place of torment. There, we find the spirits who have not
been obedient on earth. They are there only for a while.
There
is still a third place, the fiery lake of brimstone which has been prepared
by God to cast the devil and his followers. Matt 25/41, Rev 19/20, Rev 20/10.
This is probably what the Christians call 'hell'. We should know that the world
does not exist in the Bible.
Jesus,
after ascending to paradise with the thief of the cross, reached the place of
torment to preach a certain category of sprits. 1 Peter 3/19. Those
who repented came out of jail where they were captive to ascend with Jesus.
Eph 4/8-10. See Baptism.
Since
then, when a child of God dies, he goes to Paradise and, just like Jesus, each
child of God has the opportunity to preach a certain category of spirits who
are in prison, in hell.
In
all things Jesus must be the First. Col 1/18. He has been the First
to preach to the spirits in prison and he we has been ordered to do whatever
he did. Jn 14/12. (when there is a first, there will be others)
Jesus said he had to bring and impel the sheep that were not of his fold (i.e: the world of the living). Jn 10/16.
There
are two types of sheepfold. The sheep fold is a place where the Lord's sheep
are gathered. There are some sheep of Jesus-Christ who happen to be on the earth
of the living, while other live in the underworld. They should hear the Gospel
of grace. Generally, Christians think that Jesus was talking about the sheep
of the nations. This is only an interpretation of the meaning of Jesus'words.
Let me show you biblically.
He
says:
''They
will hear MY voice...'', and they heard it 1 Peter 3/19-20 and 4/6
The
sheep of God who heard Jesus preach in the underworld, where they were captive
heard HIS voice.
On
the other hand, the people of the Nations don't hear HIS voice litteraly; they
hear the Word of God THROUGH the voice, through the words of the messengers
of God. Jn 17/20-21. We can thus understand now what were the sheep
Jesus talked about in Jn 10/6. He was talking about the sheep which belong
to him, but which have been incredulous during their lifetime 1 Peter 3/19.
Furthermore, when Jesus gave us the mandate to go and preach the Good News of Salvation, told us: ''Go out to the whole world, proclaim the Good News to all CREATION.'' Mk 16/ 15.
We must then go to the whole world to preach to whatever has been created and is living. This does not mean that we should preach to the birds (like Francis.) But we must announce the Gospel as long as we are alive to all those for whom Salvation has been completed. We should note that a disciple of Jesus is always living even when he dies, a disciple of Jesus never dies. Jn 11/25.
And
a disciple of Jesus-Christ will thus preach in the underworld, for a certain
time, to a certain part of those whon during their liefetime, have been incredulous,
as were the people at the time of Noah.
I
remind you that the underworld is a place situated in the inferior regions of
the earth. Eph 4/9. It is a place created by God in which the voice
of the servants of God has been heard ever since Jesus-Christ himself had his
voice heard first.
The
fiery lake is the place where the false prophet and the beast will both be cast
Rev 19/20. There also Satan will be cast. Rev 20/10. Those who
are sentenced at the Great White Throne will also be cast there. Rev 20/11-15.
For the time being, no one is in the fiery lake. The bad rich O.T. the parable
is not in the fiery lake, but in the underworld. He is on the wrong side. He
is where there are torments. Lk 16/23-31.
Rev
20/11 states that the present heaven and earth of today will no longer
stand before God. This allows us to understand that hell, which is situated
in the inferior regions of the earth Eph 4/9, will eventually perish
for sure, finalement detruit, since whatever has a start should come to an end.
And
yet, is it so important for you who are reading? you don't intend to go to this
place, do you? In any case, that hell be eternal or not is not a big thing for
those who are there. At the very least it will be horrific during centuries.
Rev 20/10.
Prophecy
concerning Jesus will not stay in the underworld. Ps 16/10. The gehen,
the fire which cannot be put out Mk 9/44. The rich in the underworld
Lk 16/22. The death and the underworld which give back the dead who
are in it Rev 20/13.
There
is the office of the High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek See Jerusalem
and the High Priest according to the order of Aaron.
The
first order applies to Jesus-Christ and is not transmissible. Heb 7/18-21.
The
second was valid in the dispensation of the Mosaic Law. We also say 'Supreme
Sacrificator'. The title of Supreme Sacrificator was transmissible.
Of
course, Jesus is also our Supreme Sacrificator, since he is everything. (He
is even the sacrifice).
But he had to be the High Priest before the law installs Aaron. Hence the appearance of Melchizedek. Ps 110/4.
In
all things Jesus-Christ must be the First. Actually, the Perfect Sacrifice had
already been accomplished in God before the foundation of the world, out of
time. These are hings to fathom. See Glory.
Melchizedek Sacrificator of God the Most High Gn 14/18. No one on earth
has the right to place oneself above you as a priest. This function belongs
to Jesus-Christ alone. And those who hold a ministry are just simple children
of God like others. The cults always have a priest or teacher or infallible
character to rule them.
The
Holy Spirit is God Himself. But He is not the inaccessible God. He is in this
created system. Jesus is the Word and the Holy Spirit is the Light, the Spirit
of God. Jn 1/1-18. In this holy text, he talks about God manifesting
as God, as the Word and as the Light. The Lord Jesus-Christ is God made accessible.
The Holy Spirit is God dwelling with us. But it is the same God. In no case
He can there be three Gods. The Holy Spirit does not have a body like Jesus
had while on this earth. Therefore, it was great that Jesus went and came back
to live within us, throughout the world (Jn 16/7) by the Holy Spirit
which is His Spirit, the Spirit of God.
All
Christians know that Jesus lives within them by the Holy Spirit. This clearly
means that it is Jesus who lives in the disciple and not two persons of the
trinity. The Spirit of God is holy, when we talk of the Spirit of God we say:
''the Holy Spirit''. The Holy Spirit testifies of the inaccessible God (beyond
time and space) and of Jesus-Christ who is God the first-born of his creation
Col 1/15-16. 1Cor 12/3. He reveals the Truth of all things Jn 14/26.
16/13. He sanctifies those who repented and is baptised in the name of the
Lord Jesus-Christ.
Baptism
(immersion) in the Holy Spirit can be received before the person is baptised
in the water Acts 10/45. But those who have received it must be baptised
properly according to the order of the Word of God Acts 10/45-48. Acts 2/38.
HOLY
SPIRIT.
See
Consolator. Gifts.
Jesus-Christ lives in us by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of
God. He is not a person distinct from the Father. He is God who lives in us.
God
the father is in His Absoluteness. Jesus-Christ is the Word of God which was
made flesh. The Holy Spirit is God who anoints, who remains in his Disciples.
See Jesus-Christ. Unity.
Trinity.
Jesus-Christ says that it is the father who will send the Holy Spirit Jn 14/26 for those who must understand to get the message, he further adds: ''I shall send you the Consolator.'' Jn 15/26.
This
sounds rather complicated for some. Not for the disciples. It is very clear
that there is only one God who manifests Himself as the Father, the son and
the Holy Spirit. He can easily manifest Himself simultaneously as Father, son
and Holy Spirit since He is omnipresent. See Omnipresence.
Right
now, the Holy Spirit testifies of the father and of the son 1 Cor 12/3.
He reveals the Truth about all things Jn 14/26 Jn 16/13. The apostles
have received the task to baptise in the name of the Father, the son and the
Holy Spirit Matt 28/19. But they never did it saying: ''in the names
of the Father, the son and the Holy Spirit.'' for they knew that the name
of the Father, the son and the Holy Spirit was JESUS.
They
knew that there was only name by which everything had been made Eph 5/20.
They knew that Jesus-Christ is the only name by which we can be saved see Baptism.
Not
because we live in Community, we have a poor family spirit. All the children
must learnt what it is to practice hospitality toward one' family and return
to one's parents what they received from them 1 Tim 5/4. See respect.
The
sisters of the Community must be busy with the homes chores Titus 2/5.
Sexual
Relation among people of the same sex.
To
condemn the homosexuals is an easy thing. It is more difficult to listen to
them with a well intentioned spirit to help them, if they feel the need of it.
God
obvioulsy disagrees with the homosexual relationships. But He also rebukes gossips,
lies, robbery, cruelty, stupidity, drunkenness, licentiousness, hypocrisy, masturbation,
idolatry, magics, astrology, rapes, disputes, quarels, jealousy, divisions,
cults (small or big) envy, gluttony and similar things. God is clear: those
who commit such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Gal 5/19-21.
Then...
please don't let off steam by accusing the homosexuals. If you commit one of
the things which are found on the above-mentioned list, you will go to hell
in the company of all the homosexuals of all times.
Glory
to God! There is the grace for all!
But
the churches don't like very much the homosexuals and condemn them from the
outset. The pulsions which they feel are as strong as those felt by the heterosexuals.
And I ask: is it easy to rebuild one's life upon the principes of Jesus-Christ?
1 Pt 4/18. Is it easier for a heterosexual? (It is easier for the heterosexuals
because they are received as 'normal' people in the churches.)
Many disciples of Jesus-Christ of the first century had had lives of debauchery Eph 2/1-2. Col 3/5-11.
In
all the Christian circles, we mainly think of Sodom when we talk about homosexuality.
But do you know truly what the Bible says about the sin of Sodom? I will show
you!
''The crime of your sister Sodom was pride, glutonny, arrogance, complacency; such were the sins of sodom and her daughters. They never helped the poor and needy. '' Ezek 16/49.
I
find here the description of the church of the age of Laodicea, (our age), which
is rich and which needs nothing. Which does not even know that it is naked,
licentious and which argues on secondary matters instead of going straight to
the point in a manly way according to 1 Cor 16/13. Rev 3/14-22.
Therefore,
I do not say that our churches should welcome 'drag queens', I say we should
have compassion for all sinners. We should love.
Some
people of Sodom Gn 19/1-11. An abomination Lev 18/20. To be
inflamed for people of the same sex Rom 1/27. Jude 7. And I keep the
best for the end. 1 Cor 6/9-11.
