Lying Saints... R U kidding me?
It use to be okay to express yourself without being targeted or profiled. Now everyone looking to capitalize off of others monopoly is increasingly sad & morally desecrating our societies.
It's like medicine nowadays to revel in the agony, grief, & sorrows of mankind. The massive media outlets are both Blessings and curses. They build up and tear down, spread lies and truth. There is just no limit to the capacities of evil that can derive from too much information.
GOD HIMSELF Demanded Regulating the Strength of Mankind's Abilities pro-The Fall(Genesis 03:17-24). I mean Eden was Called PARADISE because Everything Yielded to the will of Adam until he rebelled. After which he would have to struggle, starve, and eventually die(Hebrews 09:27).
GOD Our CREATOR IS HOLY=DEDICATED To Religious Use. Consecrated, Sacred. Spiritually Pure; sinless; Saintly. Regarded with or Deserving Deep Respect or Reverence. HE CAN BE ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING BECAUSE OF WHO HE IS.
It always bothers me when people say "God is good all the time". That's is a lie and there is no truth in it. Biblical there are references to GOD DESTROYING CREATION at least Twice(Genesis 01:01-31, Genesis 06:09-07:2.
HE Use to wink & strike people dead(O.T.), HE TURNED a man's wife into a pillar of salt(Genesis 19:21-26), & Hardened Pharaoh's heart due to his unbelief to Make a Believer out of him(Exodus 07:111-25).
That's just a few of the "provoked" moments mentioned in The Holy Bible a book of Records & Genealogies that Relate The Power, Existence & Emotions of THE CREATOR OF ALL things. The Old Testament is full of conflicts and consequences of Promises.
In the New Testament We find Ananias & Sapphira his wife lying TO THE SPIRIT OF GOD & immediately dying because of it(Acts 05:01-11).
Alright GOD TRULY IS THE SAME TODAY TOMORROW & FOREVER(Hebrews 13:8). No partiality(Proverbs 18:05, & Acts 10:34). Yes they lied and died. What is a lie? Wikipedia the free Internet encyclopedia says:
This article is about untruthfulness. For other uses, see Lie (disambiguation).
A lie (also called prevarication, falsehood) is a known untruth expressed as truth.
A lie is a type of deception in the form of an untruthful statement, especially with the intention to deceive others, often with the further intention to maintain a secret or reputation, protect some one's feelings or to avoid a punishment or repercussion for one's actions. To lie is to state something that one knows to be false or that one does not honestly believe to be true with the intention that a person will take it for the truth. A liar is a person who is lying, who has previously lied, or who tends by nature to lie repeatedly - even when not necessary.
Lying is typically used to refer to deceptions in oral or written communication. Other forms of deception, such as disguises or forgeries, are generally not considered lies, though the underlying intent may be the same. However, even a true statement can be used to deceive. In this situation, it is the intent of being overall untruthful rather than the truthfulness of any individual statement that is considered the lie.
Serious lies (such as perjury, fraud, and defamation) are punishable by law.
Okay so Ananias & Sapphira intended to deceive THE HOLY GHOST. Be Careful message.
What about modern day lies, "I'm married" when you've not legally declared your dedication to each other openly. Or filing taxes as "head-of-household" when you pay your friend to claim their child because they are on welfare and don't file taxes. There's also putting your utility bills in your children or other peoples name because you've abused your own.
I've actually experienced all of these half truths one way or another.
There's telling the State you reside in you're not married to receive SDI compensation or working under an assumed name to prevent the government from deducting your supplemental assistance.
Whatever happened to "walking by Faith" or "Leaning on THE LORD?"
Are these just cliche's because you don't have the courage or the strength to take responsibility of your actions and be accountable for the consequences?
If GOD DIDN'T LIKE lying over two thousand years ago, HE HASN'T Changed his mind because you are finite in your abilities To Stand For Righteousness & Truth in spite of the weapons the enemy uses to test your claims of being "saved or blessed and highly favored".
The enemy unlike GOD is Not OMNIPOTENT or Possess he OMNIPRESENCE he cannot be except where he has been since JESUS KICKED his butt and threw him in prison awaiting the PENALTY OF death(Malachai 04:05 & Acts 02:20-21).
See death was imminent but Not Permanent FOR JESUS CHRIST(Acts 02:22-39).
CHRIST GAVE us a prelude with the "o hell where is thy victory & death thy sting?(1 Corinthians 15:55) CHRIST WAS GIVEN POWER Over the enemy and so Has Everyone That Believed The Gospel(story of CHRIST) or Trusted IN GOD(Revelation 15:02-04).
Before CHRIST DIED on that cross on the hill of Golgotha, Salvation was only a Story Told during Passover & Feast of Festivals(). And to this Day many Hebrew Jews do Not accept that JESUS born of Mary the virgin was THE PROMISED MESSIAH(John 01:01-11 & John 14:06-18).
Well if you read the above Scriptures You find The Revelation of this article...
JESUS SAID, Have Faith in ME when I say that THE FATHER IS ONE WITH ME and that I AM One with THE FATHER.
Or else have Faith IN ME simply because of The Things I Do.
I Tell You(Us) for Certain that If You Have Faith in ME(JESUS), You Will Do The Same Things that I AM DOING. You Will Do Even Greater Things, Now that I AM GOING Back TO THE FATHER.
Ask ME(JESUS), and I Will do Whatever You Ask. This Way THE SON WILL BRING HONOR TO THE FATHER. I Will Do Whatever You Ask ME To Do.
Did You Get That Revelation? Have You Claimed You Possession of CHRIST HOOD? listen further...
JESUS SAID To HIS Disciples(Follower's): If You Love Me, You Will Do As I Command. Then I Will Ask THE FATHER To Send You THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO WILL HELP You and Always Be With You.
THE SPIRIT WILL SHOW You What Is True. Have You forgotten All liars will Have their part in the lake of fire?(Revelations 21:8 the second death/FINAL)
The people of this world Cannot Accept THE SPIRIT, Because they Don't See or Know HIM. But You Know THE SPIRIT, WHO IS WITH You and Will KEEP ON LIVING IN you.
Then You Will Know that I AM One With THE FATHER. You Will Know that You Are One With ME, and I AM One with You.
If You Love ME, You Will Do What I Have said, and MY FATHER WILL LOVE You. I Will also Love You and Show You What I Am like(verses 14-21).
GOD DOES NOT need us to lie for HIM... I'm gone Let JESUS WORDS be the end so You can Process those Promises & Act like You Know... Be Blessed

Facts about THE HOLY SPIRIT
From From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia is the following:
In Christianity, the Holy Spirit (or Holy Ghost) is the Spirit of God. In mainstream (Trinitarian) Christian beliefs he is the third person of the Trinity. As part of the Godhead, the Holy Spirit is equal with God the Father and with God the Son.
The Christian theology of the Holy Spirit was the last piece of Trinitarian theology to be fully developed. There is also greater diversity in Christian theology of the Spirit (pneumatology) than there is in the theology of the Son (Christology) or of the Father.
In Scripture there is mention of HIM AS Early as Genesis 01:02 The We mentioned had to have been The Son of Man Known(Psalms 08;04, Matthew 08:22, 17:22, 26:24, & Mark 08:31) also as The Christ & The Begotten Son of GOD(Isaiah 07:14, 09:06, Matthew 28:28, 2 Corinthians 05:21, Hebrews 02:14 & 1 John 03:08) Along With The Holy Spirit or Mind of GOD(Exodus 16:10, 24:16, 40:34, Leviticus 09:06, Numbers 16:19 2 Chronicles 07:01, Psalms 104:31 & Luke 02;09) and GOD HIMSELF THE CREATOR OF ALL THINGS(Isaiah 40:28 & Romans 01:20).
In New Testament He Appears after the Life, death & Resurrection of Our LORD & SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST To EmPower The Disciples to Do & Live as JESUS DID by THE POWER OF GOD(Mark 02:10, 03:15, Luke 05:17, 09:01, John 10:18, 19:10 & Acts 01;08).
In the book of Acts we witness the results of lying to him through Peter, Ananias & his wife(Acts 05:01-11).
We Hear JESUS Speaking to the 11 Disciples whom HE asked to meet HIM on a Mountain in Galilee: I HAVE BEEN GIVEN ALL AUTHORITY IN HEAVEN and On Earth! GO to the people of All Nations a Make them MY DISCIPLES(Followers). Baptize them in THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, and Teach them to Do Everything I Have Told You. I(JESUS) WILL BE WITH You Always, even Until the End of the world(Matthew 28:16-20).
How cool is that? Assurance that He Will Never leave nor forsake us(Acts 04:23-31). Let's take a moment to examine what Happened once THE HOLY SPIRIT SHOWED UP(verses 32-37): The Group of Followers All Felt THE SAME WAY About Everything. None of Them Claimed that Their Possessions were Their own, and they Shared Everything They Had With Each Other. In a Powerful Way The Apostles(Disciples Turned Teachers) Told Every1 That THE LORD JESUS WAS NOW ALIVE. GOD Gr8ly BLESSED HIS Followers, and No1went in Need of Anything. Every1 Owned Land or Houses They would Give to Any1 in Need.
Wow that's " One accord" or " of the same mind(Romans 12:16)." See there are no mysteries just a DIVINE PLAN that Only Reveals It's Meaning To Those Who Seek THE LORD & Honor HIS WAYS(Isaiah 55:08).
Characteristics of THE HOLY SPIRIT... JOINED WITH THE FATHER & THE SON(2 Corinthians 13:14), OMNIPOTENT(Unlimited Power-Luke 01:35-38), OMNISCIENT(Knowing All Things-1 Corinthians 02:10-11 & Matthew 11:25-30), CREATOR(Genesis 01:02, and Last but not least SOVEREIGN(Supreme in POWER-1 Corinthians 12:06, 11, & 15:28).
Works of THE HOLY SPIRIT...Speaks(Acts 01:16), 28:25, 2 Timothy 03:15-16 & 2 Peter 01:20), Significant Role IN CHRIST'S Ministry(Matthew 03:16-17 & Hebrews 09:11-15), ReGenerates(John 03:03 & 1 Peter 01:22-25), Indwells(Romans 08:09-17), Anoints(1 John 02:20-21, 2 Corinthians -1:21-22 & Ephesians 01:13, 14),Guides(John 16:13), EmPowers(Micah 03:08), Sanctifies(CLEANSES-Romans 15:16, 2 Thessalonians 02:13-17). Comforts(Acts 09:31), Bears Fruit(Galatians 05:22-23) & Illuminates the mind.., 1 Corinthians 02:12-13, Ephesians 01:16-17), Reveals THINGS OF GOD(Isaiah 40:13-14), 1 Corinthians 02:10-13) best of All Promised(Joel 02:28-32).
Brothers & Sister that Time Has Come The HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD IS Here Operating Through Followers a Believers OF The Gospel. Live It In Jesus Name!

NEVER GIVE UP
Understanding this song by Yolanda Adams, "Never give up" has invoked memories of past and present moments where situations clouded the view and hasty decisions hindered GOD'S PLAN. Looking forward To CHRIST ENDURED Tests beyond my imagination & Overcame the trials of the enemy including death(Luke 04:01-30 & 23:44-24:50) permits me to redefine my status and Claim Victory even while the battle is in full force. Guided by THE SPIRIT OF GOD & Standing On Faith I proceed to a quiet place and wait ON THE LORD(Psalm 37:34 & 27:14). Taking thoughts that ignite negativity Captive(Romans 12:2) Relaxing In THE PRESENCE of THE LORD giving clarity to the song "Hide Me even if the enemy is me." I Read HIS WORD Listen to songs of Praise or Give Testimony to someone encountering a test I've Passed & Worship GOD for the Incoming Deliverance & Victory.
It's a Pleasure and a Blessing Walking by the SPIRIT and denying your flesh it's digresses. It has taken me almost half of a century to Understand GOD'S MYSTERIES which are basically Honor, Respect & Love HIM with All our Hearts and mind & Soul(Psalms 07:09 & Colossians 03:15).
All things will accomplish HIS GOAL If You resist the flesh & Abide IN HIS SPIRIT. Life easier and pleasant without all the hurried agenda's that cloud the mind and frustrate the heart. Allowing THE SPIRIT OF GOD To Guide, Lead & Reveal GOD'S PLAN Keeps me physically fit and Spiritually free from clutter or circumstance because Everything is Working To Edify THE GOD IN Me(Romans 08:28).
I'm flesh so my flesh does what flesh does head toward destruction eyes wide shut. My mind begins to recall previous hurts, games, people, circumstances, bad memories the barrel of "ifs" and "when" to investigate or assume. Seriously unkempt and without GOD'S DIVINE INTERVENTION the mind could lead you straight to the grave by suicide or provoking another soul that hasn't Learned It's power over evil(Genesis 03:05, 06:05-08 & Psalms 23:04).
GOD'S GRACE, LOVE & MERICIES Cover a Multitude of failures and mistakes(1 Peter 04:08) and allow us time to reflect, repent & Surrender TO THE WILL OF GOD wholeheartedly.
Since the fall of Man(Genesis 03:22-24) GOD HAS TENDERLY ATTEMPTED TO RECOVER that which was lost(A Personal Relationship) by allowing Choices(Joshua 24:14-15) and ordinary events that Require DIVINITY & UNDERSTANDING beyond Mankind's capabilities(Jeremiah 28:08, Ezekiel 07:26 & Acts 27:10) to Reveal the weaknesses and Supply Escape & Rescue(Ecclesiastes 07:18 & 08:17). The Mystery Is GOD'S LOVE(Deuteronomy 06:05 Ecclesiastes 09:01-12). GOD IS PATIENTLY AWAITING Us to Understand The Depths of HIS LOVE unlike Everything Else HE CREATED the Sky, Stars, Moon & Sun, We Are IN THE IMAGE OF HIM AND WITH THE LIKENESS OF HIM(Genesis 01:26-31). How Awesome!!!
Even the Beloved King of Israel questioned why GOD CARES so much for Mankind(Psalm 08:24, 144:03 & Hebrews 02:01-13). HE CONSIDERS Us Friends, Sons & Daughters despite out constant rejection and or denial of HIS EXISTENCE(2 Chronicles 20:07, Romans 08:17 & Psalms 14:01-03).
The next time your flesh begins to act itself out "Anoint Yourself pull your mind back in Talk TO THE FATHER & GET the Plan again(Fred Hammond)." Then start Praising GOD like it's your last chance instead of worrying or getted frustrated devoted time to situations beyond your control. Stand Firm on The Word of GOD and Never Give Up.

Calendar for year 2010 (United States)
My mother is my mother forever why is there a specific day to honor her? She does what she does year round and will be who she is even after death. Shouldn't she be honored sporadically as the moment of gratitude arouses or nostalgia ignites reflection and memories?
I can choose to invade her coffee table with floral arrangements of fragrance and beauty. Arrange for an entertainer to serenade her during her lunch break in the financial district of San Francisco. Have a catered brunch delivered on her off day or a spa treatment at her favorite mall. Private and intimate affections not monopolized by a society that changes situations like baby diapers, or redefines circumstances by propaganda or profiling.
With finances being the global topic and fame and fortune a publicized commodity, why eject extra pressure toward my already struggling demeanor?
Stressed meeting personal budgets why interfere with not necessity but public display of following the leader to the accepted behavior rather than offering relief by downsizing consumer spending to increasing employment opportunities.

Around 1870, Julia Ward Howe called for Mother's Day to be celebrated each year to encourage pacifism and disarmament amongst women. It continued to be held in Boston for about ten years under her sponsorship, but died out after that.
In 1907, Anna Jarvis held a private Mother's Day celebration in memory of her mother, Ann Jarvis, in Grafton, West Virginia. Ann Jarvis had organized "Mother's Day Work Clubs" to improve health and cleanliness in the area where she lived. Anna Jarvis launched a quest for Mother's Day to be more widely recognized. Her campaign was later financially supported by John Wanamaker, a clothing merchant from Philadelphia.
In 1908, she was instrumental in arranging a service in the Andrew's Methodist Episcopal Church in Grafton, West Virginia, which was attended by 407 children and their mothers. The church has now become the International Mother's Day Shrine. It is a tribute to all mothers and has been designated as a National Historic Landmark.
Mother's Day has become a day that focuses on generally recognizing mothers' and mother figures' roles. Mother's Day has also become an increasingly important event for businesses in recent years. This is particularly true of restaurants and businesses manufacturing and selling cards and gift items. Okay, extreme brainwashing and plagerism. Wow what a celebration...

Simplicity is a Good Spice of Life
If it had not been For THE LORD, HIS GRACE & MERCIES I would have been dead in buried or swept up after the fire into an urn of permanence.
I sincerely look back over my life of which spans four decades and I've observed THE HAND OF GOD CONSISTENTLY SHELTERING my inconsistencies and failures by Promoting Me in Character & Faith with the Perseverance(Romans 5:3-11).
Far from Perfect and acknowledge I Will Always Be as long as I reside within the walls of my flesh but Operate beyond those Walls by The POWER OF GOD'S SPIRIT WHICH RESIDES INSIDE OF My New Heart(Deuteronomy 4:29, Psalm 7:9, Acts 15:9, Philippians 4:7 & Colossians 3:15).
A Living Witness to the Power of The New Heart. I began with declaration of Relaxation not in the sense of therapy or massage but by The Renewing of My Mind to Understand THE WILL OF GOD and the Obedience of my flesh to deny its earthly desires as I Seek GODLINESS & HOLINESS Through The Spirit(Psalms 93:5, Romans 1:1-4 & 2 Corinthians 7:1). Simple Trust IN THE WORD & Faith In It's ABILITIES.
I've learned through experiences individual & as witnessed that complications arouse from frustration, deceit & sin(James 4:1-10). GOD IS NOT the author of confusion therefore HE WOULD not utilize it's negative actions unless invited by the Ruler of THE TEMPLE HE HAS CALLED HOME(Hebrews 9:6-28 & Acts 20:28).
JESUS Meant when HE Spoke of Destroying The Temple(John 2:19) was His earthly body & not The Temple of Solomon. Destroying the former tabernacle Opened Dialog between GOD & Mankind where if Invited GOD WILL RESIDE in Our Hearts.
In the Wilderness after The Exodus from Egypt GOD DWELT inside man-made tents(Exodus 40:17-38) and GOVERNED the quest to The PROMISED LAND Symbolized by a CLOUD Above The Tabernacle(Temple/Home) by Day & FIRE was Over It by Night throughout their journeys. What a Relationship Moses & The Prophets Shared With Our LORD. I long for just that type of Relationship Today & I'm Maturing as I Continue Praying & Studying GOD'S DIVINE WORD & Obeying It by THE POWER WITHIN Me.
Little things seems much When You place them IN THE MASTER'S HAND(James Cleveland).
I honestly don't feel no ways tired, I've Come too far from Where GOD HAS BROUGHT Me from, nobody told me the road would be easy and I Don't believe HE BROUGHT Me this far to leave Me. Thanks James R.I.P.
My Hope is Built on JESUS' BLOOD & RIGHTEOUSNESS and My Faith Will Accomplish Whatever GOD INTENDS Me to do.
Prior to November 1992 & August of 2005 I was sold out to the prince of darkness & the principalities of this world(Ephesians 6:12). GOD DELIVERED Me both times & Renewed My Mind & CREATED A CLEAN HEART WITHIN Me(Philippians 2:5 & Psalms 51:).
Its easy to lose focus & become distracted from THE WILL of GOD by following the traditions of Mankind and conforming to its policies(Romans 12:2) to acquire acceptance or privileges from people in this world. Forgetting that If GOD BE For Me HE'S MORE THAN THE whole world against Me(Romans 8:7 & 31).
Between 1992 & 2005 I had a form of Godliness but denied It's Strength(2 Timothy 3:5).
From August of 2005 thru January 2009 I was luke-warm(Revelatians 3:16), Not a good place to be in as GOD SPITS out the bitterness from HIS MOUTH uggh.
I Want HIM IN My Heart & Always on My Mind but I don't want to be spit anywhere(unless used to restore sight Mark 8:21-25).
Then again LORD IF IT BE YOUR WILL I'll Go & Do Whatever YOU WANT Me too & HE KNOWS I mean that.
In January 2009 I Experienced Total Alignment With GOD & HIS WORKS() BY Obedience & Submission. I relented my finite authorities for GOD'S INFINITE ABILITIES().
In his book "Don't sweat the small stuff... and it's all small stuff" Richard Carlson PH.D.
"Obstacles and problems are a part of life. Thu Happiness comes not when we get rid of all our problems, But when We Change Our Relationship to them.
When we see Our problems as a Potential Source of Awakening, Opportunities to Practice Patience and to Learn. The most basic principle of Spiritual Life is that Our problems are The Best places to Practice Keeping Our Hearts Open.
Inner Peace Is Accomplished by Understanding & Accepting the inevitable contradictions of life-the pain & pleasure, success & failure, Joy & sorrow, Births and deaths.
Problems Can Teach Us to be Gracious, Humble, and Patient."
LORD KNOWS I've had my share of life's ups and downs, GOD'S BEEN GOOD To Me and the downs have been Few, Well I guess you could say The LORD HAS BLESSED Me.
There has never been a time in My Life HE DIDN'T SEE Me Through! Oh The Mind of James Cleveland Worship and Praise.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Simplicity; is a more qualitative word connected to simple. It is a property, condition, or quality which things can be judged to have. It usually relates to the burden which a thing puts on someone trying to explain or understand it. Something which is easy to understand or explain is simple, in contrast to something complicated. In some uses, simplicity can be used to imply beauty, purity or clarity. Simplicity may also be used in a negative connotation to denote a deficit or insufficiency of nuance or complexity of a thing, relative to what is supposed to be required.
The concept of simplicity has been related to truth in the field of epistemology. According to Occam's razor, all other things being equal, the simplest theory is the most likely to be true. In the context of human lifestyle, simplicity can denote freedom from hardship, effort or confusion. Specifically, it can refer to a simple living lifestyle.
Simplicity is a theme in the Christian religion. According to St. Thomas Aquinas, God is infinitely simple. The Roman Catholic and Anglican religious orders of Franciscans also strive after simplicity. Members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) practice the Testimony of Simplicity, which is the simplifying of one's life in order to focus on things that are most important and disregard or avoid things that are least important.
In MCS cognition theory, simplicity is the property of a domain which requires very little information to be exhaustively described. The opposite of simplicity is complexity.
Simple not complex oh the Light is Shining Through the jargon.
Through life's experiences and Walking in THE SPIRIT AND denying my flesh, I've Learned that Simplicity Really is The Spice of Life as GOD ONLY REQUIRES We Believe & Repent as Instructed IN HIS WORD. Once Reborn THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD Directs You Toward GOD'S WILL as You Study HIS WORD and Arm Yourself With The Weapons of warfare:
Let THE MIGHTY STRENGTH OF THE LORD MAKE You Strong. Put On All THE ARMOR THAT GOD GIVES, SO You Can Defend Yourself against the devil's tricks.
We are Not Fighting against Humans. We Are Fighting against forces and authorities and against rulers of darkness & powers in The Spiritual World.
So Put on All THE ARMOR THAT GOD GIVES. Then when that evil day comes, You Will Be Able to Defend Yourself. When the Battle is Over, You Will Be Standing Firm. Be Ready! Let The Truth be like a belt around Your waist, and Let GOD'S JUSTICE PROTECT You Like Armor. Your Desire to Tell The Good News(CHRIST IS RISEN!) about Peace Should Be Like shoes on Your feet. Let Your Faith be Like a Shield, and You Will Be Able to Stop All the flaming arrows of the evil one. Let GOD'S SAVING POWER BE LIKE a Helmet, and for a Sword Use GOD'S MESSAGE(The Bible) That Comes From THE SPIRIT. Never stop Praying, especially for Others. Always Pray by THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT. Stay Alert & Keep Praying for GOD'S People. Pray!!! Pray that GOD THE FATHER AND THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WILL GIVE Peace, Love and Faith to Every Follower! May GOD BE KIND to Everyone Who Keeps on Loving Our Lord JESUS CHRIST(Ephesians 6:10-24).
Learn to take certain thoughts captive(Isaiah 55:8 & Matthew 15:19 & Ephesians 4:23) and only Permit THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD TO Control the Thoughts That Flow Like Rivers of Living Water Into the Atmosphere Generating Peace, Relaxation & Tranquility with Understanding.

UnConditional Love
For a little over a quarter of a century I've pondered questions that evolve from one era to the next as each instance delivers its own set of attachments.
I'm a part of a huge family and we each have different strongholds that hinder the growth or unity due to misinformation or lack of understanding.
I can appreciate a healthy argument as it delivers diverse and definitive points toward multiplicity and circumstance(Titus 3:1-11). I just don't tolerate stupids well, see dumb is teachable but stupid is null & void(useless).
I use to operate off of stupidity that had the appearance of "gifted" or "extraordinary" ramifications. However as I review my past behaviors compared to my current beliefs and understandings, I'm physically embarrassed at the preposterous hypocrisy(Psalm 119:113, James 1:8 & 4:8).
No wonder I projected such evil, I was inundated with preconceived assumptions regarding others experiences without the courage to explore the contents with an open mind(Romans 12:2, Hebrews 3:6).
That's a very jaded concept and unHealthy philosophy(Galatians 1:14 & 2 Thessalonians 2:15). Much like the Apostle Paul prior to His Conversion of unconditional Love.
The word Love was thrown around like furniture in a department store. It would be reaffixed or rearranged to accommodate the hunger of the individual under Spiritual attack(1 Peter 5:8).
Our flesh hungers for Earthly & temporary things but Our Spirit Seeks Permanent & HEAVENLY things(Romans 8:8 & Galatians 5:1-26).
As We Submit TO THE WILL OF GOD(James 4:7) We offer Ourselves as Living Sacrifices toward THE KINGDOM OF GOD(Romans 12:1).
GOD LOVED the people of this World So Much that HE GAVE HIS ONLY SON, so that Everyone who Has Faith IN HIM WILL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE And never Really die.
GOD DID NOT SEND HIS SON INTO THE World to condemn its people.
HE SENT HIM TO SAVE Them! No one Who Has Faith in GOD'S SON WILL BE condemned.
But Everyone who Doesn't have Faith IN HIM HAS ALREADY BEEN CONDEMNED for Not Having Faith IN GOD'S ONLY SON.
THE LIGHT HAS COME INTO The World, and people who do evil things are Judged Guilty beause they love the dark more than THE LIGHT. People who do evil hate LIGHT and Won't Come To THE LIGHT, because IT CLEARLY SHOWS ? they have done.
But Everyone Who Lives By THE TRUTH WILL COME to THE LIGHT, because they want others to know that GOD IS REALLY THE ONE DOING ? They Do.
No one Can Do Anything Unless GOD IN HEAVEN ALLOWS IT(John 3:16-27).
That Is UnConditional Love! To Permit YOURSELF To Suffer To Save Others is Love & Sacrifice.
John The Baptist Said, JESUS MUST BECOME MORE IMPORTANT, WHILE I Become less important(John 3:30).
GOD'S SON COMES FROM HEAVEN AND IS ABOVE ALL others. Everyone who comes from the Earth belongs to the Earth and speaks about earthly things.
The ONE WHO COMES FROM HEAVEN IS ABOVE ALL others. He Speaks about what HE Has Seen & Heard, and yet no one believes HIM.
But Everyone Who Does Believe HIM HAS Shown That GOD IS TRUTHFUL.
THE SON WAS SENT TO SPEAK GOD'S MESSAGE, AND HE HAS BEEN GIVEN THE FULL POWER OF GOD'S SPIRIT.
THE FATHER LOVES THE SON AND HAS GIVEN HIM EVERYTHING.
Everyone Who Has Faith IN THE SON HAS ETERNAL LIFE.
BUT no one who rejects HIM WILL EVER SHARE IN THAT LIFE AND GOD WILL BE ANGRY With them FOREVER(John 3:31-36).
GOD IS LOVE AND HE WANTS TO SHARE WITH Us! How Much more than Gracious is that? Since The Fall of Mankind in The Garden of EDEN(Genesis 3:1-24), GOD HAS ATTEMPTED TO REDEEM Lost Man. It's baffeling that Paradise was only worth two Chapters then the Rest of GOD'S WORD Is About Restoration & Judgment Day(2 Timothy 3:16, 4:1-5).
Repeatedly GOD CHOSE to Look beyond the faults of Mankind and offer Escape or Savalation(Romans 6:12-23 & 8:1-28).
In search of a definition of unconditional I found: Unconditional love
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia; Unconditional love is a term that means to love someone regardless of one's actions or beliefs. It is a concept comparable to true love, a term which is more frequently used to describe love between lovers.
By contrast, unconditional love is frequently used to describe love between family members, comrades in arms and between others in highly committed relationships. It has also been used in a Christian context to describe the belief in God's love for humankind through the forgiveness of Christ.
Religious perspective Christianity
While the phrase has never been used in its official teachings documents the then head of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope John Paul II was recorded as saying during a homily in San Francisco, in September 1987, that God "loves us all with an unconditional, everlasting love". He explored issues touching upon this theme in his work Dives in Misericordia (1980) in which the parable of the Prodigal Son becomes a framework for exploring the issue of God's mercy. The civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. was quoted as saying “I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality”.
I Must Concur With The Reverened Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Hope that Our Societies develope a Hunger for Truth & Unity WITH Our CREATOR.
It is my belief that Once You Totally Surrender To The Will OF GOD All Things Are Possible & A Transformation takes effect of daily activities & They Are In Full Alignment With GOD's WORD & HIS CHARACTER. Scripture Reiterates that evil or flesh and blood Cannot Inherit GOD'S KINGDOM(1 Corinthians 15:35-58).
The fruits of the flesh= immorality, filthy thoughts & shameful deeds. Worship idols, practice withcraft, hate others, and are hard to get along with.
Jealous, angry & selfish. They not only argue & cause trouble, but they are envious. They get drunk(beyond a casual drink), carron on at wild parties, and do other evil things as well.
The Fruits of The SPIRIT = Loving, Happy, Peaceful, Patient, Kind, Good, Faithful Gentle, and self-Controlled. There is No Law against Behaving in any of These(Galatians 5:19-21).
If someone is trapped in sin, You Should Gently Lead that Person back To The Right Path. But watch out, and Don't be tempted yourself. You Obey The Law OF CHRIST When You Offer Each Other a Helping Hand. Don't Compare Yourself with others. We Must Each Carry our own load. You Cannot fool GOD, so Don't make a fool of yourself! You Will Harvest What You Plant(Galatians 6:1-7).
