1 John 3 KJV - Behold, what manner of love the Father - Bible Gateway
For years, a Bible of varying translations over time, is opened at random and a chapter read...As the day goes on some part has personal meaning as well as reflecting the world at large..
This time through, the King James version is being used...In this era, its not read much anymore and we may have lost some understanding due to that..even if its English of the 1600"s and not like we speak today....
Some who are not Christian do access this blog, and that is respected as faith is personal and it can never be forced and when one group or another has tried to do so, its never ended well at all with abuses that have caused age old hatreds/ Much of the world knows that there was one called Jesus who lived and walked among us and taught many wise things and His truth is common to all of us living in peace with one another....
We Christians believe that He was only part human and part Divine and the explanations in the Bible of FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT are not understood the same throughout the world or over time.. Its a mystery that we humans can know in our souls but have not been able to put into words well..
The FIRST LETTER OF JOHN
Christ's beloved disciple and one theory from what little we have in scripture of the families of the disciples is that he might have been Christ's brother-in-law.. married to one of Christ's sisters as the journey to Cana may be a description of the 'best men' escorting the groom to the wedding. And since Joseph, his adoptive earthly father was no longer alive, Christ was head of the household and no wonder that when the wine ran out, at the social event of the year. as John was the son of the Chief Priest's Caiaphas's sister is in historical other texts and one who could move about more freely without being arrested..
A lot about who the disciples were and the rest of Mary and Joseph's other children may well be in manuscripts hidden away by Constantine's mother when ONE WORLD RELIGION was attempted about 400 years after Christ's resurrection and to merge Mary into the fertility goddess faith meant making her the 'eternal virgin' when the Bible in any language has always clearly said that after Christ was born, other children were born to them,..maybe as many as 6 or 7...not all the daughters named...as was the culture of the time... Scholars say and history reveals that many among us may be descended from Mary and Joseph and not even be aware of it...Bur DNA may be done one day..BUT
we all are still offered salvation as who are ancestors might have been does not save us. We choose that now as individuals.. Thankfully most are raised by those who teach us well to be good and loving and have faith....but in the final act, we each have to make our own choices...
Constantine sent his mother to find the historical sites and churches were built on them although Christ instructed his disciples at the TRANSFIGURATION when he revealed His glorified body to them just before the crucifixion and Resurrection and the appearance of Moses and Elijah are named as appearing also...as some kind of 'light' bearers....These two are traditionally said as never having died...on Earth...at least Elijah was 'taken up' as well as Enoch, but Moses has no witnesses named of where he went when he did not cross the Jordan River into the Promised land after 40 years roaming with the escaped of Jacob's descendants from Egypt…
The few disciples who witnessed the TRANSFIGURATION immediately wished to build a structure and Christ said no....but several hundreds of years, the places were known where events took place with Christ..and we now have churches on these sites...If we have all the correct ones....
But, if we do not, ones faith should never rest in a place as ALL of Creation is manifest through Christ in some mysterious way.. even science cannot yet explain and maybe Love never can he it just "IS"
The Bible is a faith book, and much of history is only referenced to and others sources needed to know a lot...but faith in Christ is not changed by this or that piece not being known,,,
John is one that gets into the more spiritual meanings of the nature of Love and Christ...and he well may have been one of the better educated among the early writers of Christianity...
It is John, in his gospel that states GOD IS LOVE and its Christ that becomes the human manifestation of Love for us to know as humans... And one big difference between faiths and the religions that spring from them when many have similar understandings is that Love is real and as Christians we know that we are loved unconditionally no matter how terrible we act...and some few have become real monsters as all are offered the free gift of salvation of life eternal with Him and FREEDOM NOT AN ENSLAVEMENT.. as He just keeps evil away as our protector so we can be FREE...
John tells us and he was with Christ to be taught and learn...that all we have to do is believe on His name and love one another....
Just one of the end time events that indications are we may be entering into the times of the tribulation where the forces of evil have their last battle to keep control and we wake up and not let it totally happen until the Resurrection of the dead of the past saved since Christ came the first time as scripture says there was one at the time of His resurrection and He went to the place of sleep and raised the former ones to life and must have been a scary time...and they were not risen Zombies which moves misinterpret..from the pieces of scripture we have... But by the time of return...the world will have gone through the most horrific time in history and prophetic students argue and debate as when will the saved already be taken out of here....and I have no personal knowledge, but have often wondered if the resurrection of the 2 witnesses is not the time for all as we are changed in an instant back to the bodes Adam and Eve had before getting evicted from the Garden of Eden and the Bible clearly says we had new kind of bodies since then..Until the rapture comes, we do the best we can and learn better how we can keep evil away from enticing us to make bad choices,,
Movies are made and books and theories written and its not clear all the details and yet we believe that at the worse of times we Will be protected from worse if we just believe...This must be worse than ever known in history.,..and one thing is for sure we have weapons now that can do worse to us and the planet than ever before and we tread on dangerous ground all the time that some misguided monster of evil intent ends all of Creation....yet Christ promised those that believe and love one another will be spared the worse as others struggle through and become believers over a short 3 and 1/2 years is the common interpretation of times and time and 1/2...
WHATEVER HAPPENS OR NOT does it change ones faith in the Divine Love and Christ and having his Holy Spirit poured out on all flesh any one to accept and have within each one of us? it does not... and should not ...but the promise is that the evil one and his cohorts will be bound up and removed from bothering us for a thousand years until they are given one last chance to be good and its predicted they will not and be removed forever from us....and our only issues with each other is not from any evil intent motivating anyone..to do horrible things to each other etc..
A world we have never lived in to this day....on earth as humanity...as we seem to be in a learning stage to know better how to share love and accept it...and the DEVIL just wishes to control us instead of Love shining through us instead.. We cannot ignore evil as it has enveloped us and led us to be escapists from all and that is not the answer either..as we are in the final era, when we have become the govts of much of the world and a lot of responsibility for each one to have a govt of, by and for the people...SO awesome, that when we only have less than 1/2 even voting...EVIL comes right in and tempts the ones we elect as most of us never even bothered to vote and they hold positions of power, with less than 25% of our votes of all...That is not a mandate and we have a real battle when most have run away to even help try to save even themselves...from it...as they are massacred in a real horror in the most devious ways as death has come when science has enabled us to live longer and be healthy as Christ taught us two things to do that express caring for even our own selves :
HEAL THE SICK AND FEED THE HUNGRY and we have shirked even those two things that every human has need of...
One cannot love one another unless those two things that sustain modern life are met...and we have those of evil intent who HOLD POWER over us by controlling access to health care and food/water.. and we have let this happen to us....WE HAVE DONE IT TO OURSELVES in a world where most have the vote..to decide our own fates and we have chosen to sacrifice our own selves on the altar of Satan instead when we do not even try....the best we can...
There are two differing ways to have a faith based on Love...and one is to be a protected 'child of the Divine" to never have to go it alone and take full responsibility alone without some help along the way... to be carried in times or sorrow and distress to know He has picked us up like a small child to comfort and carry us through the worse of times....
There is another kind of Love that some fall into and that is of taking the whole of the Divine into one self as BECOMING A GOD and that is the trap of evil..to fall into...as then there is only ones self to lean on and we are not ALL KNOWING at all.... A fine line that one can cross of being tempted to think that now one has love within one, there is not need of a Divine Love to protect as we have become Divine...and we are not...we are vulnerable even yet to temptations that can become even more tricky from a master of trickery... We pray TO the Divine and not BECOME the Divine as that is not possible ….We can accept the free gift of it,,,but not Be it...as that we are INDIVIDUALS WITH FREE WILL and FREEDOM is always choice...to accept or deny..and why would anyone deny Unconditional love from one who wishes our protection and eternal salvation...to be happy and freed from any evil??
Unlike other books of the Bible, John gets into the real mystical mysteries of the nature of things ..and was the last one to have his earthly life ended
Beware the trap as the more one has faith, the devil will wish one to think they are Christ too and there is only one of Him....ever...and without Him we have no one to carry us and lead us through to eternity...And what this one child of His tries to put in words, is just beyond human words for me to fully understand....One is asked to believe,,,and know in their soul even if our human minds cannot fully grasp the meaning,,we Know.. we believe...and wish all those defying 39 agencys' judges defied on my cases alone that is a microcosm of paper trail to find most of the culprits that led us since law of 2002 that removed the power of the people from rulership over us along with the president being able to carry out the mandate of the US Constitution as govt contractors now rule us and we not them. Not upholding the basic concepts that the Divine has as a model for us to follow of "for the general welfare of the people and the security of the nation."
And that is on us to be fooled for years as we blame the govt and we forget we are BLAMING US as we are the govt even if we refuse to be it....and let ourselves be overthrown by Deep Staters of a few inside placed to make sure the same international cabal rules the world and has led most of humanity down the same path...to destruction of all that we humans are to be ..THE BEST OF ALL OF CREATION fallen into the most devious of entrapment's..NO GOVT IN CHARGE OF MUCH OF ANY PART NOW and we have only a few more chances to take back and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.... and voting by 95% is the first step .. Even if we do not vote for the same persons for each office from local to national...it the POWER OF THE PEOPLE being shown and the best form of govt ever created is the one we live under "if we choose to keep is" and its not completely majority rule as it has a few last checks and balances against abuses of power so that "the least among us is not harmed by the majority." Its the basis of our civil rights laws and who is the least among us? Its whoever in some point in time has become the most vulnerable group that needs some extra protection form a majority that might fall into the trap of evil and do harm to the most vulnerable...
Even without civil rights laws of 'protected classes' we can have areas of the most vulnerable we are part of and each one of us.. must care and not leave any one excluded form basic needs and caring and protections and we have not done well at times as we try to do better...
And when we allow some cabal of contractors to steal and scam from programs for the least among us we have not done well but shirked our duty to elect those that will stop this since the COUP OF 2002 but had already begun many years earlier and too many did not pay attention in office as after all we did not have a majority of those who could vote even bother to support the ones there..now…
Its not going to happen in one election, but every election...and whom you vote for? one can only make an imperfect human choice from among the imperfect humans willing to spend a few years serving us and not becoming gods unto themselves as we are not to worship them as idols that will solve all our problems as we are the govt and our own support and constructive criticism is needed at times...
VOTE AND BE PART OF THE SOLUTION
In the name of Yahusha, whom we Christians call Christ Jesus, may we find our way to Your Divine love and accept Your gift of love and protection now and always...Help us do better and forgive us our failings... Prayers for our leaders, who have a mess we allowed to be created of corruption pervades, few can fathom how bad but some of us affected to the point of losing our earthly lives even now...and tried to unravel a maze that just grows and grows and takes all power into the opposite of anything good You wish us to have for each other...Help all wake up and be part of the effort to be FREE OF EVIL and figure out how to get out of this mess...and may those in it accept Your love and be part of helping climb out of the worse swamp of deceit and corruption that has been able to keep itself hidden from us...in an era when we thought we had access to all knowledge. And You taught us we do not know everything as You are the only one who does....
Give us the strength and courage of love for one another from You to each one do what we are uniquely called to do and accept the calling for good... Special prayers for all who are dealing with natural disasters and many more affected when our food sources are devastated in the near future..
And may none think that this one soul, has all the answers as You are the only one who does know all...Amen!
Do what you can for each of us and loved ones....and grow even in containers as one tomato grown is one that is left for another to have somewhere..as more of our food supply seems to be headed for more flooding out...
FREEDOM SHARING AWARDS
No new website to add today...of those who make it easier to link your sites to others in cyber world...as easy sharing ended with Windows 8 and many free 'universal ' sharing apps are available now is you would wish for your truths to be passed on intact as a direct link...until the cyber people of the Internet of the information highway decides for sharing to be easy again that was lost with WINDOWS 7 which I still have on one browser but that is said to be ending next year...
The reward is free advertising for you and your truths being shared world wide but some may not wish to do this and we have to respect that...as part of caring is respect for one another...
HAPPY TRAVELING!
