(02/17/2014) The Right Place to Get Knowledge?

Today, the value of Internet sites, social media, and similar tools are considered in terms of their value as sources of spiritual knowledge.  Also, there is more on divine judgment against Satan and sinners.  A “Yahoo! Answers” writer using the ID “Use Your Brain” (Level 2 with 465 points, a member since June 02, 2013) posted the following:


Are you sure this site is the right place to get spiritual knowledge?

i saw many answers stray people. i am afraid people will believe answers here and they take it as the truth. while 'God' keeps silent. and suddenly people die and go to hell belong to their ignorant.


THE BATTLE AXE:  Satan Should Stand Trial? (02/16/2014)—(5.)  We do not really have a shared language to fully express all of the ideas that pertain to the process of GOD for those that are in heaven; however, many truths continue to appear within our reasoning as more or less evident for mankind.  Divine judgment goes forward as an aspect of divine existence, not merely as a response to actions, objects, or omissions among created beings and living creatures.  GOD is an eternal spirit; therefore, judgment is an eternal process, and the process of the divine law is entirely one of sacred truth.  The dynamic person and presence of GOD is to be recognized among sentient beings through comparison, contrast, deduction, diversity, and induction.  Divinity is that that is immutable and unchanging, and thereby, GOD is a fixed point above and outside of all chaos or random motion as well as the operations of self-will in the living, and the continuing mechanics of actions initiated by the living (we say, unfolding consequences, effects, outcomes) that may persist indefinitely.  GOD is the referent and standard for all that is.  The expressed will of GOD (we say, divine law), incarnations of GOD (the appearance of divinity in flesh, and other material forms), and various other emanations from GOD, register as awareness and frameworks for self-will in created beings and living creatures.  The condemnation, punishment, and final destruction of Satan, and many other sinners who will not respond to ministrations by GOD will be consummated primarily as outcome of their own natural life process as opposed to formal investigation, and official tribunal.  See Exodus 34:  5-7, King James Version.


THE GOLDEN ARROW:  Get wisdom, get understanding:  forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.  Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee:  love her, and she shall keep thee.  Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom:  and with all thy getting get understanding.  Exalt her, and she shall promote thee:  she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.  She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace:  a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.  Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.  I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.  When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.  Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go:  keep her; for she is thy life.  Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.  Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.  (Proverbs 4:  5-15, KJV)


THE DOUBLE DAGGER:  A Relationship not Just Knowledge? (06/25/2013); Lost Without GOD? (06/26/2013); Salvation for Atheists? (06/14/2013); Church is Good? (06/15/2013); Illusion? (04/25/2013); Not of Legal Age? (04/26/2013); Life Given By Knowledge? (04/03/2013); A Spirit Church? (04/04/2013); Attending Church? (11/12/2012); A Holy Kiss? (11/13/2012)


“Use Your Brain”, here are some points to consider that are being examined by many Christian believers:

(1.)  The place for gaining spiritual knowledge is within ones relationship to GOD as made possible by the ministry of Jesus Christ on earth, and from heaven.  Those who receive the imparted, indwelling Spirit of GOD (we say, are born again) also serve as spokespersons for GOD (we say, prophets), and make possible the necessary dialog for growth and learning.

(2.)  Instruction in the things available from divinity to supply created beings and living creatures are provided using many devices and mechanisms.  Included are covenants, family, fellowship (as seen through church congregations), holy writings, natural wonders, divine proclamations, promises, practice of sacraments, prayer, and sacred events (we say, miracles).

(3.)  Once born again having divine DNA, so to speak, a believer must develop discernment (ability to use aspects of the spirit deposited within them by GOD to recognize and correctly respond to the same spirit in others, and within the many things of their environment).  Skill  develops gradually; and every believer must acquire comprehension and insight through a continual process of judgment and revelation while continuing to exist upon the earth.

There is far more to be said, correctly applied, and spiritually apprehended. ( For example, (4.)  Be it upon the Internet or within a local congregation, peculiar principles always apply.  Once anchored in Christ and reinforced with divine love, believers are to be fearless.  We are commanded:  Prove all things, hold fast to that which is good (see 1st Thessalonians 5:  21, KJV).  Fresh encounters and new experiences may be explored; opportunities should be plumbed; and reasonable risks can be taken.  However, at every stage, godly convictions and standards are to be applied.)  Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful.  Be it unto you according to your faith.


If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.  But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering.  For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.  For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.  A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.  (James 1:  5-8, KJV)
