Today,
reply is on the sacred operations, divine substance, and immutable
truths—the
rock—that
serve as foundation for the new
creation by Jesus Christ that
is a living community to contain and display ongoing relationship
with divinity through his imparted Spirit. In the same way the
Creator gave form to mankind by fashioning Adam from the dust of the
earth, the Holy Spirit is fashioning the components, members and
process that appear as the church of Jesus Christ. By grace through
faith, the testimony granted sinners who apprehend testament in the
blood of Jesus is that activity of mind (e.g., dreaming, imagining,
recall, thinking); senses of the flesh (e.g., hearing, seeing,
smelling, tasting, touching), and apostles such as Peter, James, John
and Thomas “hath not revealed it unto me”. A
fighter in the “Yahoo! Answers” public forum on Religion and
Spirituality, who uses the ID “GRANNY NORINE” (Level 1 with no
points showing, a member since May 16, 2014) posted the following:
Is
Peter the rock on which Jesus' Church is built upon (Matthew
16:17-18)?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of
Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of
the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of
wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit
of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; And
shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD:
and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove
after the hearing of his ears: But with righteousness shall he judge
the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he
shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the
breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. And righteousness shall
be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
(Isaiah 11: 1-5, King James Version, KJV)

“GRANNY
NORINE”, the Spirit within me identifies Jesus and the Holy Spirit
as the Rock. The Incarnation of divinity using flesh as Jesus Christ
did not introduce a platform for covenant relationship with divine
fullness (we say, divinity; the Godhead; the Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit) that was new, so much as a platform to replace and advance
things that had become obscured by custom, legalism, and tradition
throughout Israel, and among the Jews of the Temple community.
Where Moses left a legacy of the “law and the prophets,” practice
by the Pharisees and Sadducees emphasized the observance of feasts,
offerings and sacrifices, and centered upon the law without the
prophets. While none denied the active presence of GOD (we
say, the Shekinah) within the Sanctuary, and the High Priest
continued to enter the Most Holy place on the annual day of
atonement, there was no unanimous acceptance that the operations of
GOD, the promises of GOD, and the record established through the
prophets should be uppermost in acknowledgment, praise, and worship.
Jesus would minister in Jerusalem as a divine High Priest after the
order of Melchizedek, yet, would be recognized and responded to only
by those responding to operations from the same Holy Spirit that
resided within the sacred spokesperson commanded to leave the temple
priesthood, John the Baptist. How readest thou? The following is
the pivotal statement that declares the character, process, and
substance of the new creation church: Matthew 16: 17, King
James Version (KJV): 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him,
Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not
revealed it unto thee,
but my Father which is in heaven. Other verses that appear
must be received and viewed using this light; for example:
(1.)
1st Corinthians 3: 11, King James Version (KJV): 11 For
other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus
Christ.
(2.)
Luke 6: 47-49, : 47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my
sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: 48 He
is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the
foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat
vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was
founded upon a rock. 49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like
a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth;
against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it
fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
(3.)
John 3: 6-7, KJV: 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and
that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said
unto thee, Ye must be born again.
(4.)
Romans 8: 5-9, KJV: 5 For they that are after the flesh do mind
the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the
things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death;
but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the
carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to
the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in
the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in
the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any
man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Enough
said.
