I see the principals of Christ as what is important, guys.

Sky,

I don't think we need to "worry", because God is in control of our path, and is able to keep us from falling.

Truth is anywhere one looks, and it is not where we look that causes delusion.

Let me explain...

If I understand these principals, then there is nothing to fear:

God and man are one through Christ Jesus [a man who laid down His life, and was crucified by God, to form a Kingdom of hope within us, by His resurrection from the dead].

Spirit/Fire baptism [Jehovah is a gracious giver's (John's) baptism) is necessary in order to rid us from the carnal consciousness, and become our new consciousness. This is the process by which Christ writes His fiery law within our hearts and minds.

We are perfected through suffering, apart from the law of God, in order to uphold that law.

There is headship group [Christ] who are anointed to save, and there is a body group [Jesus], who are to be saved by that group.


Remember guys... our walk is our own, and nobody else's...

Preach and teach these principals, and you will never fall... and if you do not, then you will still be delivered by those who will overcome.

I know that there is nothing evil of itself [all things work for a good purpose], but if I see things as evil, then to me, they are evil.

I can glean truth from anything, as long as I am guided by these basic principles. If I see another person who is walking outside of these principles, then my only thought [and duty] is to ask God to help them understand Him more clearly [in His own time]. I will do nothing to hurt or harm them, and will gently continue speaking the truth in love, until the day that God sees fit to show them what He has shown me.

We need not fear man's teaching, but rather, stand in awe of God's teaching!

I have said this many times: I teach nothing but what is written in the law, and the prophets.

Now someone might say, "Ahhh... you are not telling the truth, because I have heard you teach about movies, and music, and parables, and such..."

Me: That is true... but I have taught them in the light of the truth of the Gospel, showing [by the scripture], God's handiwork in ALL things.

If I understand the basic principles of God's Kingdom, then I will be able to apply them to anything I see, hear, touch, taste, or feel in this world, BECAUSE IT IS GOD WHO MADE ALL OF THESE THINGS, ACCORDING TO THOSE VERY PRINCIPLES!

So it isn't where I look, who I gain knowledge from, or what I get into that is good or evil [unto me], but rather, the principles [within my own mind] which determine what is good, and what is evil.

Let me give you an example:

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient for me.

I can use heroin [in my freedom in God], but it will kill me.

I can go rob a bank, but I will be arrested.

It is lawful for me to have sex with many partners, but God has a little thing called Aids, and that in itself shows me the course of nature that he desired for man.

To the pure, all things are Pure, but if I apply this rule: "Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you", then I have nothing to fear.

Would I want someone else to use heroin? No!

Would I have sex with another person, if I knew that it would harm my wife's soul? No!

What am I saying here?

God created all things to be "very good"... and if something within that "good creation" has been ordained, by God, to do an evil purpose, in order to bring about that good, then I can rest in the fact that Christ lives within me, and He is able to KEEP ME FROM FALLING [that is HIS JOB, and NOT MINE]!

After all... you all can feel the Spirit speaking within you... He will tell you when you are getting into a sticker burr patch. It's called "Listening to the Spirit!"

God will swell inside of you, and give you a warning [when you are about to partake of something "evil."]

We need to apply these things to ourselves, and leave our brother in the hands of our merciful God.

And if someone [among us] does not listen to us [or their "inner voice"], and wanders off into the brier patch [which, by the way, God created], then that is something that God will have to correct in them - at HIS discretion.

So what is my job?

I will just keep methodically teaching the truth, which will, in due time, judge the world [in righteousness, and not in sin].

I will leave what other men teach in the caring hands of my Maker.

In all honesty... I have found that it is usually not me who has the problem with what others teach, but rather, THEM WHO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ME!

This is a true statement:

Any fractional nature [in any person] who cannot adhere to the sound words of what I have written here, will not be able to stick around here, anyhow, because the fire will try each man's works accordingly.

There are only two groups of people in God's Kingdom:

Those who try to leave, but can't...

And those who try to stay, but can't!

Heh heh heh!

Where does this stuff come from? Heh heh heh!

Thou knowest... LOL!

Master... where dwellest thou?

Heart peace to all here.
