Divine purpose,
incarnation, and the operation of GOD through Creation and flesh come into
view. Also, there is more on marriage and spiritual companionship. A “Yahoo!

Why did jesus have to be
born?
Why did Jesus have to be born through Mary instead
of just been putting on earth as a grown man. I dont see why God could not have
done this as he is capable of anything. He did make trees, rivers, oceans etc
appear
THE BATTLE AXE: A Life
Companion? (11/07/2012)—The spiritual function of a wife includes roles
as healer, mediator, and priestess of her home where she offers her own verbal
and silent prayers, and encourages the prayers of her mate. As her husband’s
confidant and companion in sacred study, the wife is a “first-responder” and
“sounding board” for his comments, questions, and understandings. She shares
with him her own heartfelt beliefs, convictions, and experience through the
operation of GOD, thereby serving as an immediately available human source of
divine spirit content. While gender, sexual intimacy and reproduction were not
experienced among those in heaven, and was given by GOD as a necessary process
for created beings and living creatures in the earth, family is the
creation of mankind in the earth (we say “the world”), and centers in human
social interaction and exchange. The angels know emotions and feelings, however
they are not organized as families; and their service and worship goes forward
through united hierarchies, orders and ranks. By marriage and family, now
accounted as human instruments for survival in various material conditions,
mankind also amplifies and discharges sacred covenant, spiritual growth, praise,
thanksgiving and worship.
THE GOLDEN ARROW: But not as
the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of
one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which
is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. And not as it
was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment
was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many
offences unto justification. For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one;
much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness
shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Therefore as by the offence of one
judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the
righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification
of life. For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the
obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Moreover the law entered, that
the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through
righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 5: 15-21,
King James Version)
THE DOUBLE DAGGER: Love in
Christ (10/23/2012); Jesus, King of Earth? (10/07/2012); How Was GOD Known
Before Jesus? (10/06/2012); Blessings, Curses and Woes (10/03/2012); Divine
Self-Sacrifice? (09/30/2012); Justice Comes by Love (10/01/2012); A Man in
Heaven? (09/23/2012); Aliens? (09/24/2012)
In general, it is a mistake to object to
things being as they are by asking “why are they so”; or to refuse to accept and
acknowledge that things from GOD are as we have them in order to accomplish
divine purpose. There are no simple answers when asking about divine intent and
sacred purpose. Included are creation, judgment, redemption, repentance,
salvation, sanctification, and eternal life. Divine processes must come into
view that include death, incarnation, perfection, re-birth, resurrection,
revelation, and unification.
Human awareness and the capacity to be in
relationship with the Creator was transformed when Adam’s will was influenced to
deny the will of GOD, that is, the law spoken by GOD. More than simply a change
in consciousness occurred. Self-will in Adam (both the male and female) was
changed; their endowment of divine spirit content was altered; and their nature
was shifted from being in line with those who dwell in heaven to be more in line
with that of animals and creatures of the earth. The relationship founded in
acceptance, respect and trust was shifted to a platform of apprehension, false
knowledge, fear and human error.
The finite, living instruments of angels, men
and other created beings are not adequate as independent expressions of eternal
will who can accomplish all the many tasks involved in the now necessary
transformation of heaven and earth through judgment and salvation. So to
speak, where GOD wants the work done, and done correctly, GOD must do it
himself. GOD must directly operate and participate in showing divinity to
created beings and living creatures in ways that respond to their many
limitations. The divine word spoken as proclamation, promise, and prophecy must
be performed. Divine intent must be openly displayed; and sacred law must be
continually affirmed and endorsed.
There is far more to be said, correctly
applied, and spiritually apprehended. (For example, as carnal beings that
operate within the frameworks of time and space, humans are independently unable
to formulate and permanently maintain the same ideas and concepts that appear in
divine law. Such elements as curiosity, fantasy, fear, forgetting, and
imagination twist and warp otherwise sacred truths and godly wisdom.) Even so,
I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your
faith.
