Today,
reply is on the proper focus for investigation and study among
Christian believers. Sinners are not saved simply by acquiring more
knowledge, nor are believers saved by continuing in carefulness and
worry. Being those who receive salvation as a free gift and the
expression of divine love, developing and mature believers are not
required to become all-knowing and omniscient regarding the things of
GOD. Believers need not continue to pose questions on every detail
of divine operations and sacred events, need no longer continue
making doubtful projections intended to foretell the future, and
should no longer speculate about the possibilities for events that
have only finite meaning and value. Through the holy writings that
record appearances of GOD upon the earth using thousands of events,
within thousands of lives, over the course of thousands of years,
divinity has presented a complete agenda and syllabus to those
seeking salvation; and the major aspects of sacred truth we now
require have been summarized. Included are admonitions and warnings;
covenants; divine law; histories of priestly families, tribes and
nations; prophetic demonstrations; principles for communication,
exchange, and interaction as sacred communities; examples from the
ministry of Jesus Christ; gospel testimonies; and end time
revelation. It is written: Revelation 1: 1-3, King James Version
(KJV): 1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to
shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he
sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: 2 Who bare
record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and
of all things that he saw. 3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they
that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are
written therein: for the time is at hand. A fighter in the “Yahoo!

As
far as God is concerned, are there questions we shouldn't ask? Or is
everything on the table?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his
righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take
therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take
thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is
the evil thereof. (Matthew 6: 33-34, King James Version, KJV)
THE
DOUBLE DAGGER: A Single Sacred Revelation (01/09/2019); Asking
Questions in Heaven? (11/15/2018); Mysteries Of The Kingdom?
(09/28/2018); Life And Divine Purpose (05/04/2018); “The End Is
Near” (03/14/2018); Idolatry -- Exalting Human Devices?

Revelation not Punishment? (11/25/2016)
“Evokal”,
revelation is the sacred process wherein divinity willingly makes
themselves knowable, known, accessible, and approachable to created
beings and living creatures. Curiosity and the human desire for
secular knowledge (e.g., intellect, logic, philosophy, carnal
reason, science) arises from aspects of the flesh, while the appetite
for sacred knowledge arises from the inseparable aspects of
spirit we receive as a fresh endowment from the makeup of GOD.
Included are faith, holiness, longsuffering, lovingkindness, oneness
without sameness, personhood, wisdom, and wrath against sin. The
guidance and instruction from GOD provided to mankind through the
holy writings do include many admonitions and warnings against
meddling, exaggerated pride, and presumption. Many seek knowledge
displaying what is called “vainglory” (i.e., in order to boast,
compete, manipulate others, and subordinate their peers). Those who
are impenitent and insist on the operations of sin in their lives
reject the necessary atonement and remission for sin provided through
Jesus Christ as our High Priest. Consider again the following that
uses language from the Bible:
1.
Ecclesiastes 5: 1-2, King James Version (KJV): 1 Keep thy foot
when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than
to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do
evil. 2 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty
to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon
earth: therefore let thy words be few.
2.
Numbers 15: 29-31, KJV: 29 Ye shall have one law for him that
sinneth through ignorance, both for him that is born among the
children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them.
30 But the soul that doeth aught presumptuously, whether he
be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the
LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among
his people. 31 Because he hath despised the word of the LORD,
and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off;
his iniquity shall be upon him.
3.
Proverbs 9: 6-10, KJV: 6 Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in
the way of understanding. 7 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to
himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth
himself a blot. 8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke
a wise man, and he will love thee. 9 Give instruction to a
wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man,
and he will increase in learning. 10 The fear of the LORD
is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is
understanding.
4.
Colossians 3: 1-4, KJV: 1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek
those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand
of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the
earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye
also appear with him in glory.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended (for example, 5. Revelation 22: 16-21, KJV: 16 I Jesus
have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the
churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the
bright and morning star. 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come.
And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come.
And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. 18 For I
testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this
book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him
the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall
take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take
away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and
from the things which are written in this book. 20 He which
testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so,
come, Lord Jesus. 21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be
with you all. Amen.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful.
Be it unto you according to your faith.
