(10/30/2019) The Mediators Among Divinity

Today, reply is on the practice of prayer among divinity, and the mediators within the Godhead who intercede on behalf of Creation and mankind. Through the covenant with Moses, divinity agreed not to speak to mankind again using an audible voice, and to exchange and interact with mankind using spokespersons (prophets). Mankind shares many things with Deity, yet, may not appear before divine fullness (we also say, the Godhead; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit) as an equal, or as one having the same authority, dominion, glory, majesty, sacred knowledge, and sovereignty. Within the Godhead as well as on the earth, both Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit appear and intercede representing finite mankind. Sinners who have returned to GOD through the priesthood of Christ, who willingly serve the Lord, and who also await his coming, now are being examined in the on-going sacred judgment to grant eternal life, and are being provided with fresh endowments from GOD for their transformation to exist as the immortal companions of divinity. It is written: 1^st John 2: 1-2, King James Version (KJV): 1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. A fighter in the “Yahoo! Answers” public forum on Religion and Spirituality using the ID “Friend” (Level 1 with 124 points) posted the following:

If Jesus Christ is God, then why was he praying to God the Almighty? Only One is Hearer of prayer.Psalms 65:2?

THE GOLDEN ARROW: Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. (Colossians 2: 8-15, KJV)

THE DOUBLE DAGGER: Believers Minister Through Prayer (09/23/2019); Preserved As Life Companions (06/23/2019); Continuing and Refreshing Creation (04/01/2019); Divine Priesthood on Earth (01/31/2018); Why Spirit Displays Personhood (06/06/2018); Who Will See GOD? (10/04/2016); His Burden Is Light? (09/21/2013); Evil is not Sin? (09/22/2013)

“Friend”, having authentic humanity, Jesus Christ prayed to divinity regarding his own sacred priesthood on the earth whereby the Savior confessed the sin of mankind, and of those who came to him; offered glory, praise and thanksgiving to GOD; and requested comfort, edification, guidance, and strength to complete his sacred mission. As the Son of the Father, Jesus Christ prayed to divinity being a mediator for mankind who also was using human flesh, and observing the limits posed through mortality that include mechanical and natural law. In accord with the atonement and propitiation for sin accomplished by Christ as a High Priest in heaven, the Holy Spirit also prays for mankind as a mediator who now operates through the inseparable aspects of divine fullness that are displayed by those belonging to Jesus Christ. Included are faith, holiness, longsuffering, lovingkindness, oneness without sameness, personhood, wisdom, and wrath against sin. Among Christian believers prayer is made to accomplish various aspects of eternal purpose, and is not merely to express human emotions, or petition for the unmet needs of those in the flesh. Through prayer one displays their own divine content and indwelling spirit that has acceptance and oneness within the Godhead. Consider again the following that uses language from the Bible, and a presentation from the music ministry of John Michael Talbot:

1. Isaiah 55: 6-11, King James Version (KJV): 6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

2. Hebrews 7: 24-27, KJV: 24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. 25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. 26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; 27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. 28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.

3. Romans 8: 26-27, KJV: 26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

There is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually apprehended (for example, 4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZNPrLy173o.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.

(07/03/2014) On Weakness?

Language from the Scriptures that speaks to weakness of commitment, power to complete sacred works, and spiritual understanding are the focus, today.  A “Yahoo! Answers” writer using the ID “Stillwaiting” (Level 5 with 5,029 points, a member since March 08, 2013) posted the following:


Is the phrase spiritually weak in the bible? 

I had a freind write me a letter and she says to me that she is spiritually weak.
I know this is not true, shes very loving Christian. what she is refering to is the fact that due to illness and family responsibilities she has not been to church in a while. ths made me mad that she feels unworthy based on attendance to a church, and not her Christian helpful works towards her husband and family every day. I know she reads her bible , so, where is this spoken of in scripture?
or is this a phrase made up by the wathtower society? i searched online bible and could only find the word weak, but was not used to mean, spiritually weak, where is scripture does it talk about spiritual weakness, and not in the context of applying to the jewish nation,[ whom are specifically those jesus came to preach repentance and coming back into the 'sheep fold', ]
and if Jesus said in scripture that all we need to have is faith in him, and believe in him, we have life, then why do people equate their spiritual faith on attendance to churches, or the works of men?
we are not supposed to be following man, were to follow Christ, example, not keeping track of how many persons go to church and obtaining and maintaining millions of dollars of real- estate
these are the treasures on earth that Jesus warned not to seek.
we instead are to focus on loving works to each other, every day of our life, and not to support an organization.
Update : any bible version


THE GOLDEN ARROW:  We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.  Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.  For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.  (Romans 15:  1-3, KJV)


THE DOUBLE DAGGER:  Freewill is Finite (06/30/2013); GOD Intervenes? (07/01/2013); Feeling Loved By GOD? (06/16/2013); To Find A True Christian? (06/17/2013); The Spirit is Willing (10/20/2012); Spirit Matter (10/21/2012)


“Stillwaiting”, in addition to citations that speak to weakness of ones physical body, of ones conscience, of ones faith, of the covenant law, and ones determination the holy writings also address the strength of ones endowment of Spirit from GOD.  Consider the following:

(1.)  Hebrews 7:  18-19 (KJV)  18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.  19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

(2.)  1st Peter 3:  7 (KJV)   7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

(3.)  1st Thessalonians 5:  14 (KJV)  14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.

(4.)  1st Corinthians 8:  9-11 (KJV)  9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of your’s become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.  10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;  11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?

(5.)  2nd Corinthians 13:  3-5 (KJV)  3 Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.  4 For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.  5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

There is far more to be said, correctly understood, and spiritually apprehended.  For example, (6.)  1st Corinthians 1:  25-31 (KJV)  25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.  26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:  27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;  28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:  29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.  30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:  31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.  Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful.  Be it unto you according to your faith.
