THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION

[Excerpt from another blog] How would you like to be yourself conceived of the Holy Spirit and immaculately brought forth? Would this idea attract you? So try to come out from your own skin and imagine that the same Spirit (God) who made physical Adam from dust would deposit into Mary the living embryo called Yeshua (salvation) Jesus. There was no longer any need to create new genetics for these have already existed when God made Adam and Eve... [end of excerpt]. Read more...

It is important to note that without Jesus gentiles would still be in paganism and Jews would be beating on the same Pharisaic dead horse. There would be no Torah Centers and no schools. Jewish development  would be minimal if any. What sparked this new development is the emergence of Christianity. 

THE MOST GLORIOUS KNOWLEDGE OF FREEDOM

Perfect love cast out fear (1John 4:18). Fullness of joy means perfect joy (John 15:11). The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace, because he trusts in You (Isaiah 26:3). For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God (Romans 8:19-21).

 [2Corinthians 3:17] Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

[John 8:31-32] So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

2000 YEARS OF IMBECILITY

May I be so bold as to say that yes, it’s been 2000 years of religious imbecility and I will show you why?

1. Man has filtered spiritual things through the flesh and its limited perceptions; mixing matter with spirit; the result is only religion. A golden calf and invisible God the Spirit don’t mix.

A. God the Spirit (John 4:24) did not make man according to His physical image and likeness (Genesis 1:26) for He has none. That image in Hebrew is TZELEM, which means reflection or something to mirror. In this sense Jesus mirrored the Father; hence a statue of Jesus would not be an image of God, but a semblance of a physical human being. Hence each time Jesus called Himself the Son of Man (Hebrew Ben Adam) He called Himself a human being and this human being laid His life down for us of His own accord (John 10:17-18). Jesus reflected and mirrored the Father that is the reason why He said, "[John 14:9-10] He who has seen Me has seen the Father." "[John 10:30] I and the father are one." (click here) Jesus did what the Father did and said what the Father said and in this He was one with the Father. One Spirit. And although He said that the Father is greater than He (John 14:28) He spoke in His humility and subordination to the will of the Father.
