Mankind is like God's Vineyard. (Luke 20:9-19)(Isaiah 63:1-6) Given a man shakes a vine, the vibrations may be felt on the other end. I heard it through the Grapevine? A man may hear things through God's Holy Spirit.
We may take this allegory to another level. Mankind may be like a stringed instrument in context of Ezekiel 1. Ezekiel had a vision of Angels. Angels have functions tied to aspects of creation. These functions may have been tied to various concepts or things. The concepts or things, they are all interconnected. There are vast differences to how people thought and perceived in Rome around 300 AD, to France in 1200 AD, to someone living in a Western Nation in 2025. Various concepts or things, they were shifted, moved, turned.
God's plan is The Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God has particular values. The Kingdom of God happens where men are accepting The Kingship of The Lord Jesus Christ. Mankind, like a string instrument, it needs to be tuned, or turned, towards Jesus Christ, where various concepts are aligned, in concert, with God Almighty.
In the 1960's and 1970's, there was a Counter Culture influenced by Karl Marx and Aleister Crowley. Hippies around Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco, they saw that bathing was too bourgeoisie. They stopped bathing. Doctors and scientists ended up re-discovering diseases long thought extinct. Christianity has had certain traditions and taboos. Some people worked to push all traditions and taboos, like Counter Cultural figure Richard Dawkins, who believes that eating human flesh is the next taboo people need to get over. The Counter Culture was influenced by Karl Marx and Aleister Crowley. In the 1970's, it was mainstreamed into mainstream culture like the movie "Jesus Revolution," with Kelsey Grammer. Christians were accepting of Satanic Counter Culture.
“Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. (Matthew 18:19)
Going to back to Ezekiel 1, Angels have functions over aspects of creation. The Angels were turned a particular way in the 1970's-80's. People were accepting of certain bad ideas like Marxist Betty Friedan's Divisive Feminism. There is fruit there.
Someone like Saint Patrick, he was a Counter Cultural figure. He went into pagan Ireland and worked to counter the culture of the pagan Irish. In India, there were a lot of ugly pagan practices like Bride Burning. Christians worked to counter the culture in India with Christianity. These ideas and concepts can be turned different ways.
In the 1960's and 1970's, the acceptance of Counter Culture was ceding something to Satan. When two Christians come together and agree, and ask for something, it will be done. What we have had the last decade or so, is that not what Christians wanted? Christians need to cut off, and separate themselves from bad philosophy, from bad theology, from bad ideas. To be Holy, is to be separate.
God's Kingdom is not a Marxist five year plan. A lot may change quickly in War, Famine, and Plague, in God's Judgement. God's Kingdom is not a Five Year Plan. God Kingdom starts when men are accepting The Kingship of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Kingdom of God has particular values. Christians should work on promoting those values, and separate themselves from bad ideas.
Question: What if certain Christians are in vast disagreement?
ReplyDeleteGod has a character. There is objectivity in Christianity. In growing in faith, a man may have become aligned with the Prophets of the Bible, developing The Power of the Tongue. Understanding God isn't intellectual. It is spiritual. God is reason. There is reason to how the spiritual works.
A group of men growing in faith together, they may learn to think more alike. They may learn to see things more as God sees things. They become of "One Mind." (Philippians 2:2) A Group of men who have the Holy Spirit, people may flock to that Church.....unlike The Anglican Church or the Church of Scotland or the Lutheran Church of Sweden which are dying, having institutionalized bad theology, bad philosophy, bad ideas.
Changing certain concepts in Christianity, like having female priests.....the Anglican religion may have more to do with Wiccans and The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn than Christianity. It became a heresy more similar to Islam or Mormonism.
Question: Is God angry at the Anglicans?
ReplyDeleteGod revealed himself to someone over in Great Britain, a figure of authority, sort of like Moses and the Burning Bush. God was told off.
Yes. God is angry. Genocide is a thing that has happened.
Question: What is your understanding of "The Devi's Backbone?"
ReplyDeleteIt is a lie, a false perception, propagated by evil men looking to justify their wickedness.
Satan was a created being with a purpose or function. God is a jealous God. Man is freedom of choice. Who or what was man choosing? In Job 1, and Revelations 12 Satan was an accuser. In Job 1, Satan was among the Sons of God. Satan received a measure of authority from God, towards a particular purpose. How did Satan gain this authority? Satan knew of God's Law.
God surprised Satan with some loopholes through The Lord Jesus Christ. Satan felt entitled. Satan rebelled. Satan was thrown from heaven, with his angels, in Revelations 12.
