Today,
reply is on how requirements that mankind acknowledge and worship the
Living GOD emerge from the Creator’s
dominion over divine order, existence and life. While there are many
elements of divine process and truth that are determined, immutable,
and unchanging, the living are to exercise autonomy, creativity,
liberty, privilege, and self-government. GOD has used the device of
family to populate the earth, and has used inheritance to maintain
the continuity of fellowship with humanity, the presence of sacred
law, the outworking of eternal purpose, and the practices of
offering, sacrifice and worship, rather than allow the dominion of
death and mortality that resulted from the operations of sin. It is
written: John 4: 23-24, King James Version (KJV): 23 But the hour
cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the
Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to
worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him
must worship him in spirit and in truth. One of the fighters in the

Why
is there a commandment for which gods one shall believe in? Is this
something we are able to choose?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: Behold, the eye of the LORD is
upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; To
deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. Our
soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help
and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have
trusted in his holy name. Let thy mercy, O LORD,
be upon us, according as we hope in thee. (Psalms 33: 18-22, KJV)
THE
DOUBBLE DAGGER: Those Who Are Convinced (12/08/2019); In Fear To
GOD? (12/05/2019); Why Do They Sing? (11/14/2019); Comfort Through
New Life (08/22/2019); The Word From GOD (12/11/2018); The Church Of
Jesus (06/18/2018); Free Speech in Church? (12/18/2017)

as a Christian believer I have to share with you the same wisdom from
GOD that is to be shared within the church, and I can not share an
“answer” to the two questions you pose (even fools can give
answers). Mankind is to exist in relationship with the Creator, and
must depend on divinity for existence, life, purpose, and
substance. The operations and content of divinity are established as
a feature within our human makeup through the life essence (we
say, breath; spirit; word) that was imparted to a figure formed from
the dust of the earth. Adam became a living soul having inseparable
aspects of divine fullness that included balance, completeness,
faith, holiness, integrity, joy, longsuffering, lovingkindness,
oneness without sameness, peace, personhood, respect, wisdom, and
wrath against sin. As the Creation of GOD, mankind’s
acknowledgment of divine fullness (we also say, the Godhead; the
Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit) comes by these and other
elements interacting within human consciousness and self-will.
Immortal, incorruptible, invisible GOD is apprehended and discerned
as an active and present influence expressing sacred law, divine
order, eternal purpose, and the sovereign will of GOD. Adam was not
an equal to GOD, yet, man was to be a companion to divinity who is
capable of displaying the image of GOD, and is to reflect, resemble,
and reveal the character, nature, and qualities of Jesus Christ.
Through the operations of sin, mankind now must inherit life
conditions with imperfections and weaknesses that include appetite,
mortality, and relying on secular knowledge, carnal reason and
social interaction, rather than divine anointing, commanded
expectation (hope) and sacred knowledge. Consider the
following that uses language from the Bible, and a selection from the
music ministry of Luther Barnes:
(1.)
Micah 6: 6-9, King James Version (KJV): 6 Wherewith shall I come
before the LORD, and bow myself before the
high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves
of a year old? 7 Will the LORD be pleased with
thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of
my body for the sin of my soul? 8 He hath shewed thee, O man,
what is good; and what doth the LORD
require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk
humbly with thy God? 9 The LORD’s
voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see
thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.
(2.)
Matthew 9: 10-13, KJV: 10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at
meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat
down with him and his disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw it,
they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans
and sinners? 12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them,
They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. 13
But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and
not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners
to repentance.
(3.)
Jeremiah 9: 23-24, KJV: 23 Thus saith the LORD,
Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the
mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man
glory in his riches: 24 But let him that glorieth glory in this,
that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD
which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the
earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended (for example, (4.) I am so satisfied
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-I-AjsRe6c).
Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you
according to your faith.
