1 Timothy 2 KJV - I exhort therefore, that, first of all, - Bible Gateway
For decades, a Bible is opened at random and chapter read..and every day some part has personal meaning as well as reflects the human journey to a Heaven on Earth....we cannot force on cultures as faith cannot become by faith..
As always, over about 3 years there comes a time when its hard to find a chapter not accessed each time through and have begun at the end of the Bible and working backwards to pick up chapters this time.. And over time various translations are used...and for the first time in my 75 years the 1800's King James is being used for more than comparisons for study.. There are some spiritual understandings one can glean...that can get lost in translation for Hebrew to English that has a beginning and end in our language...and such concept is not in Hebrew where the Divine Love of the Almighty we call YHWH or Father told Moses the name of I AM WHO I AM...an infinite concept our human minds in our fallen state since the defiance in the Garden of Eden. tried to put 'the "CREATOR IN A BOX" and is always was, is and always will be.....
The one who first fell was Satan and he and his 1/3rd of the host of heaven have been hell bent on death and destruction of all made to be good and free and humanity to have free will...is the opposite of wishing all of humanity to be controlled by his power of absolute deception..to make 'thought zombies out of each one of us."
Christ made it clear that male and female are equal in the Kingdom of Heaven...equally loved and equally free....BUT we are each unique and in this realm of the fall...do have human weaknesses to deal with...And we have cultural ways that need to be respected as what societies have....and where Women have had issues for thousands of years...of being the one blamed for humanity's fall....and
too often ignored that ADAM freely ate of the APPLE OF ALL KNOWLEDGE ALSO... so who was following who into Satan's deception...
We are accountable each for our own free will decisions of sin...and our salvation is from each ones personal repentance and forgiveness....One cannot hide behind ones spouse, ancestors or cultures to justify what is done that harms...and say 'EVERYONE IS DOING IT...
As we each are accountable for our own souls and salvation in Christ..and our acceptance and free will to love one another of the Divine Love and pass it on to others ...with respect and caring to share the good ways for others to be saved also for eternity.
As Christianity began to be spread and shared with many cultures of earth...then and in more modern times of the last century...one has to be careful to not force cultural changes..when those have little to do with the salvation of the soul... And the most recent forcing has been abortion being spewed out with monies world wide...when many cultures, and even those of faith in the USA...find any taking of life an abomination to the basic regard for human life...of the DIVINE OF LIFE AND LOVE FOR ALL OF ETERNITY
and in ages of the past...the subjugation of women to less than equal in our secular cultures as well as kingdom of heaven is also against the way of heaven..BUT this does not mean we have occurred what has hurt the coming of equality of women even in our own culture... to be militant and flaunt some ways that defy basics of respect and even decency...
We live in a fallen state in flesh that can die a physical death...as well as be tempted to ways of lust of the flesh...rather than the sanctity of Divine Love and physical love of male and female in the sanctity of the utmost respect of marriage...a loyalty between two for the now state of humanity having physical children in a family... to be and not what was the way of the KINGDOM of heaven OF propagation of families...Its not fully clear what we were like back then,, but seems to be some form of transfigured bodies and they are ones that do not die as exist due to our belief and being of Love...Mysteries we have had removed from full understanding until the day we finally can understand and not fall into evil choices with what we know...what Adam and Eve did by gaining all knowledge and not using it for good....but allowed themselves to get deceived....And maybe its them who messed with the human genome first...and got all of us on this journey to get back to the Kingdom of heaven on earth...as it was in Heaven....and evil and death and destruction known as bad choices forever more...as well as the promise from Christ that evil will be removed at the time of His triumphant return...one day...many believe is sooner than later now..
And there has to be a mutual respect and submission to each other in any partnership...whether it be a secular one or one of two in a marriage...with the full blessing of the Divine.
And we have symbols and sayings and ways of dress that define the boundaries for us to not cross over...and help us not be tempted to fall from real love to that or lust that is not the goodness of the best of partnerships...
Paul wrote many letters...and we may have even more found one day...if the Vatican libraries or other secreted troves be found...But he wrote to a variety of cultures....and its real application for today....and in the last few decades ones might call it MILITANT FEMINISM that many of sincere faith...cannot follow of basic disrespect and death and destruction...and intentional immodesty of near pornography...and why we have voluntary ratings even for movies and TV and should have adopted for the Internet....and that wide choice got taken away from us to self censor...and not just for children...but for us to know what to choose to access by a rating...before one gets onto a site..
One knows what is a 'signal' of availability in any society....and we have wedding rings...as one outward symbol of 'taken.' to be respected...as well as cultures of dress.....and one or two inches..for skirt length...or a male's pants nearly falling off their bodies...gives 'cultural signals" of advertising ones self for something not of the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN...
Its a kind of act of defiance of what is good in the kingdom of heaven...of love and respect for each other...and one comes with the other...even in human relationships of human love that is good and caring and that of being one in all ways of physical and spiritual...in what we call marriage...as we were made male and female even before we fell into our current state ….
And that does not give anyone the right to take advantage of one who dresses with immodesty....but its setting 'boundaries' of respect for ones self and others that one has a loyalty to one...and not available to any other... It goes both ways....and for all sexes...
And one does not go into a place of solemnity of worship...and start a gossip fest...or disrespect for what one who is sharing is saying by ignoring and talking....as again...sometimes one group or another...is showing disrespect and why is one even there if they are in defiance and not wishing to be in good fellowship with any group or place of worship...Its a disrespect for the Divine ….
One knows when they are here or there and fall into disrespect....which one cannot love one another without this...of respect for each ones rights....And Paul often shares...that some learn in small steps...to the Kingdom of heaven on earth...and we are called to share and teach...and not force or play guilt trips...but there are some times...one has to stop one or some who have come with intent or fall into such that if one is not ready for meat than milk is what is to be shared...
is one of his metaphors...
Caution to those with great knowledge and then uses that to be a boasting of vanity...and talk beyond what some are ready to know...One does not put a child in calculus class...when they have not even learned how to count yet, does one who is sincere in sharing...and passing on the goodness...of being...
And much harm has been spewed out be deception of the evil one using Paul's teaching to say human slavery, and suppression of women's rights of equality in the Kingdom of Heaven as well on earth....and any other way of color of ones skin as a power play...for one or a few to grab control of the masses...and suppress freedoms and free will...that come with mutual respect....but still understand that we have differences of biology as well as thinking and we have some cultural ways of setting boundaries...and until these change in general...they are not all bad...when done for mutual respect for each one's freedom...
One has to use caution and take a specific situation and use it as a general application for all...situations of a society, culture or world..
Forcing equality be one part of humanity with the rest can allow evil to get in and cause a backlash and take even longer to reach even the right to vote...Women were the last group to even have that and only for the last hundred years....and some with a darker skin color had rights denied them by actions of a fear of sharing power and not helped by a very few who preached retaliation for evils of the past... We are all sinners...and we should not forget the past...but learn what NOT TO DO...as we follow the good for what WE SHOULD DO... believe and love one another as Christ loves us as belief is shared by those of not just those who call themselves Christian...but the teaching of creation itself...
If this has to be further explained...it really cannot be if one heart is not in favor of all that we humans were made to be as good...and not learning how to know and make choices that help us one and all.and happiness of the soul and peace comes from the good...as who is happy with evils of death destruction and loss of freedom and rights each is to have under this of our free will....that comes with the respect for each other...even as we do have to submit to some rules and cultural ways for our very survival of goodness...And as we learn and know more we need less and less of rules and laws when they are now written on our hearts...but when some one or few choose to do harms to others...we still need some rules and some govts in place to stop those one or few that have no good intent and do illegal things which we do not allow as they do real harms that cause death and destruction..
Study the letters of Paul carefully as he has had his words twisted into meanings over history...into real evils done as if he said it was the way of Christ...and refer to his quotes from Christ we have in the Gospels and Revelation...to understand what he means...first...for understanding and we have this ability now more than ever with systems and even books like concordances and RED LETTER BIBLES... THAT HAVE CHRIST'S QUOTES IN RED LETTERS....and my late father...said his whole life...read those first... Hard to misunderstand parables he used to teach us with....
VOTE AND BE PART OF THE SOLUTION
In the name of Yahusha, whom many call Christ and some call Jesus in later centuries....and we know in our hearts who He is...and may we be forgiven by not knowing His name or pronunciation of it...and one day we will know all truth...as He is TRUTH... and its being revealed greatly now...and the world in darkness for too long has been coming into the light of DIVINE LOVE and may we find our way through the maze of human law and cultures to find the law of the kingdom of heaven...You taught us to pray for and even in these times of sorrow, sickness and death....Your love is shining through as we share our caring here and around the world....and may we never backslide back to the horrors going on...and still have hope that meds made and in safe form...that work well and as You said..heal the sick and feed the hungry....and we are showing the best of us...and may evil never trick us into evil again.... Forgive me my own sins and mess ups....and thanks for the blessings as we wait for the Passover of evil to never be allowed around us again in this existence of eternity...
Prayers for safety for our leaders and Pres Trump and others now sick and who have lost loved ones to this evil or others still in a real battle for life...In Your Holy Name Amen!
VOTE AND BE PART OF THE SOLUTION
95%+ voting in all elections of those who legally can..is needed to show the mandate or majority of all of us...and those we elect know they serve us...and we support them...in their good efforts...and may they succeed as their success is ours each one...not be harmed by what is decided to be done..
Mailed ballot fraud is hard to do when 95%+ vote...as none can vote in your name if you have voted..
That is a duty of citizenship and rulership of this world to do so...and those few who do not by reason of conscience...pray or think good thoughts for the rest of us...and not liking anyone on the ballot IS NO EXCUSE...to not vote at all... This is how evil grabs the power of the people from us...over time..
