I do not write in the hope you will read. I write in the power of God to those who will hear Jesus Christ through these writings. To write in the hope that you will read is worthless, as it presumes a power on your part to do as you will with your time and attention you do not possess and thus cannot demonstrate. You are deceived you do indeed possess such power, though it may be thwarted here and there by competing pressures, but you do not in fact have such a freedom of will at all and never did.
Neither did or do I.
How then can you be saved? Salvation from what, into what? And why? What’s going on here? Why does anyone need to be “saved”?
You may be doing well or not so well in the system of world civilizations, which in other words, is a system of behavior control via the speech that Pre-Incarnate Christ confounded at the attempt to build a tower to heaven at Babel as you may or may not have heard. ( That Christ is now Jesus Christ, the Name Jesus being given to Him at His physical birth. ) But what you have not understood is that there is indeed a conspiracy to deceive you that you have freedom of will in order to keep you in that world system.
The conspiracy is real, but that is not why you have the deception. The conspiracy is vast, has many people in it, but its efforts are in vain. Those of the conspiracy seek to instill something in you that you already have as if they had power over it and thus power over you and to pretend they are not in the same dilemma. And they cannot stop what they are doing because they do not have free will either.
You have the deception of having a free will because God willed that you have it for a certain amount of time if you are among those He has chosen for salvation and to live in His good graces; you will have it forever if you are among those He has chosen to demonstrate His wrath upon.
God plainly says through His servant Paul:
Romans 9:18-24 So then, to whom he will he shews mercy, and whom he will he hardens. Thou wilt say to me then, Why does he yet find fault? for who resists his purpose? Aye, but thou, O man, who art *thou* that answerest again to God? Shall the thing formed say to him that has formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Or has not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make one vessel to honour, and another to dishonour? And if God, minded to shew his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much long-suffering vessels of wrath fitted for destruction; and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared for glory, us, whom he has also called, not only from amongst the Jews, but also from amongst the nations?
God everywhere in His Word, the Holy Bible, the Word that He Spoke through many servants, makes distinctions between those He loves and those He hates:
To those He loves and whom are going through the deception of having a free will and living among those on the earth with that same deception He Shows us in Word how He uses even those whom He hates for the benefit of those whom He loves:
Isaiah 45:1-7 Thus saith Jehovah to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him–and I will loose the loins of kings; to open before him the two-leaved doors, and the gates shall not be shut: I will go before thee, and make the elevated places plain; I will break in pieces the brazen doors, and cut asunder the bars of iron; and I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places; that thou mayest know that I, Jehovah, who call thee by name, am the God of Israel. For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel mine elect, I have called thee by thy name; I surnamed thee, though thou didst not know me; I am Jehovah, and there is none else; there is no God beside me: I girded thee, and thou hast not known me; –that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the going down, that there is none beside me. I am Jehovah, and there is none else; forming the light and creating darkness, making peace and creating evil: I, Jehovah, do all these things.
Cyrus was a Persian king who worshiped demons and was perfectly deceived he had free will and did all he pleased, made other people do as he pleased them to do and that he wasn’t worshiping demons. Indeed, he was a king over others who had that same deception and were in the very center, in their day, of the vain conspiracy to deceive others that men have freedom of will. But obviously God used Cyrus without Cyrus’ permission, told him God would use him, told him that Cyrus did not know God but had been surnamed by God, that God would open doors to victories that were not conceivable (in that they were treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places) by Cyrus at the time. Cyrus then went on to rule over a vast empire by the means of those powers of deception he learned by looting the treasures of darkness and the hidden riches of secret places. Cyrus didn’t rule via the Light of Christ, but by the darkness of the sorceries of those dark and secret places and left those treasures to others who came after him. God wanted Cyrus to know He was the God of Israel, but that others (‘they’, Israel) would know that Jehovah was the only God, creating evil and darkness and creating peace and forming the light. Even then God used Cyrus to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem and to send some of the Jews back to Israel.
To others that hoped in the power of the conspiracy to deceive and to control others via the treasures of darkness and the hidden riches of secret places, God says:
Ezekiel 13:6-9 They have seen vanity and lying divination, that say, Jehovah saith! and Jehovah hath not sent them; and they make them to hope that the word will be fulfilled. Have ye not seen a vain vision, and spoken a lying divination, when ye say, Jehovah saith; and I have not spoken? Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye speak vanity, and have seen lies, therefore behold, I am against you, saith the Lord Jehovah. And my hand shall be against the prophets that see vanity and that divine lies: they shall not be in the council of my people, neither shall they be written in the register of the house of Israel, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah.
Yet to those whom He loves, God Says:
Isaiah 49:3-6 And he said unto me, Thou art my servant, Israel, in whom I will glorify myself. –And I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought and in vain; nevertheless my judgment is with Jehovah, and my work with my God. And now, saith Jehovah, that formed me from the womb to be his servant, that I should bring Jacob again to him; (though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorified in the eyes of Jehovah, and my God shall be my strength;) –and he saith, It is a small thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel; I have even given thee for a light of the nations, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.
And, among many, many other Word of Comfort:
1Corinthinans 2:9-16 but according as it is written, Things which eye has not seen, and ear not heard, and which have not come into man’s heart, which God has prepared for them that love him, but God has revealed to us by his Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. For who of men hath known the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? thus also the things of God knows no one except the Spirit of God. But *we* have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God, that we may know the things which have been freely given to us of God: which also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, communicating spiritual things by spiritual means . But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him; and he cannot know them because they are spiritually discerned; but the spiritual discerns all things, and *he* is discerned of no one. For who has known the mind of the Lord, who shall instruct him? But *we* have the mind of Christ.
So then, what’s going on? What are you in the middle of that is very concerned about you and knows you and either seeks day and night to deceive you about something you are already deceived about or that will demonstrate to you that you are deceived and literally take you physically out of that deception?
If you were suddenly to awake in a brightly lit room with all the comforts of home and an understanding of safety, well-being and satisfaction you could not explain and had no memory of where you had been, yet you were told you had been ‘saved’ into the place and status you have now, you couldn’t really trust what they said. You have nothing to compare it to. They could have kidnapped you and are trying to indoctrinate you in some weird cult. Saved from what? What happened?
Similarly, God requires you know what is going on so that you can legitimate praise Him and honor for what He has done for you personally, not just ‘the favored ones’ in general.
A War of Words
Out of all the things one can be saved out of, no one ever expects to be saved out of human speech. You’ve probably heard you needed to saved from something called sin ( whose usual unspoken general definition is “an act committed in free will” ), or perhaps ‘the wrath to come on the wicked’ ( ‘the wicked’ whose unspoken general definition is “those who use their free will the wrong way” ). Are you beginning to see how all the words of human speech are designed with human free will as a fundamental assumption and rock on which all sentences are constructed? Obviously, you can’t have a religion without words and precepts/laws of behavior that exist as words-in-a-row called sentences that describe what the religion is all about. They have to give you something to use your will on once they tell you your will is free do to as you please. They implicitly ask for your attention and then once they have it comes the instructions for you to follow to use your supposed freedom the right way to avoid being the ‘wicked’ when God shows up as a general template for any religion.
Some wander from religion to religion and change the sentences that they are deceived they are giving permission toward to be true about themselves and their environment and total reality. If you go from Roman Catholicism to Buddhism for example, first you said sentences like “You must pray to Mary to get your parents out of purgatory.” were of absolute importance and you sent human speech toward some invisible thing called Mary on the premise that doing so would help out Mother and Dad’s souls that were in some theoretical place called Purgatory. Then when you found out that was a hoax, and the priests who taught you that best honesty really did so in order to be able to anally rape your children, get away with it and push that behavior on whoever they could, …it took a while, but you rejected the ‘holy sentences’ of Romanism in favor of Buddhism. Now you’re supposed to say that there is no Purgatory, never was and no heaven or hell and that you hope, when you die, to be reincarnated as a higher being, the proof of which you have never seen but have heard is a secret knowledge obtained after many, many lifetimes. You now are supposed to hold some beads in your hand and rub them as you utter more words-in-a-row towards yourself that you now say are true-er than the former words about Mary.
You could wander from no religion to Mormonism, or Pentacostalism, or Seventh Day Adventism, or from any religion to no religion. But you are still in human speech and still deceived you have free will and thus subject to all the deceptions and destructive behaviors that result from being in human speech.
‘In’ human speech? What other speech exists?
The Word of God. Jesus Christ.
If you have ever heard “a presentation of the gospel”, you heard that Jesus Christ died for your sins and that He can save you. For the vast majority of such ‘presentations’, the lie that you have free will and must ‘choose Jesus’ is the overriding and paramount purpose of the display of sentences. There is no and can be no mention of the fact that Jesus Christ is the Incarnate Word of God as a separate and distinct speech from human speech or the rest of their presentation makes no sense. The implication they give you in such ‘presentations’ is that you, Satan and God all have the same speech, and that total reality in which you interact with the other two is governed by what can be said and who can say it..but all within that same speech.
What they are doing is equating the Word of God with the speech of demons, because human speech is the speech of the serpent ( the serpent that said God had lied to Eve in the Garden of Eden.. And that deceived Eve with its own speech that was not-God as Word. The serpent switched speaks IN EVE as that deception. Eve did not know there was more than one speech than God as Word until afterwards. Now after that switch, all men are deceived there is no other speech than serpent speech, forgotten that it is serpent speech and now just call it human speech, a speech which can create nothing. More on all of that later.
The thing you need to know at this point is that that equating of the Word of God with the speech of Satan /demons and the serpent is the unforgivable sin. They seek by subtle means to make you repeatedly commit the only sin in the whole Bible that is said to be unforgivable as your fundamental pious behavior by which you will essentially save yourself by ‘choosing’ to use human speech with which to approach to God.
Note that Jesus Christ is the Incarnate Word of God and only when the religious rulers of His day equate His Speech with demonic speech does He strictly warn them of the unforgivable sin:
Mark 3:22-30 And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem said, He has Beelzebub, and, By the prince of the demons he casts out demons. And having called them to him , he said to them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? And if a kingdom has become divided against itself, that kingdom cannot subsist. And if a house has become divided against itself, that house cannot subsist. And if Satan rise up against himself, and is divided, he cannot subsist, but has an end. But no one can, having entered into his house, plunder the goods of the strong man unless he first bind the strong man , and then he will plunder his house. Verily I say unto you, that all sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and all the injurious speeches with which they may speak injuriously; but whosoever shall speak injuriously against the Holy Spirit, to eternity has no forgiveness; but lies under the guilt of an everlasting sin; –because they said, He has an unclean spirit.
What they are accusing the Word of God WITH is demonic speech from which they must be saved. But in their deceptions about total reality, to which they have been subjected by those who seek to control the treasures of darkness and the riches of secret places, they do not know that the serpent uses them and they have no free will. They are deceived they have total control over every aspect of their lives and yet the Word of God on the cross says to the Father on their behalf “Forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
Today’s false prophets and false pastors and priests are no different. ‘Preaching the Gospel’ is to them just making a living and using the pretense of piety for personal gain and lusts.
2Peter 2:15-22 having left the straight way they have gone astray, having followed in the path of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the reward of unrighteousness; but had reproof of his own wickedness– the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the folly of the prophet. These are springs without water, and mists driven by storm, to whom the gloom of darkness is reserved for ever . For while speaking great highflown words of vanity, they allure with the lusts of the flesh, by dissoluteness, those who have just fled those who walk in error, promising them liberty, while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a man is subdued, by him is he also brought into slavery. For if after having escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, again entangled, they are subdued by these, their last state is worse than the first. For it were better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. But that word of the true proverb has happened to them: The dog has turned back to his own vomit; and, The washed sow to her rolling in mud.
And
Romans 1:21-32 Because, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but fell into folly in their thoughts, and their heart without understanding was darkened: professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of corruptible man and of birds and quadrupeds and reptiles. Wherefore God gave them up also in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodies between themselves: who changed the truth of God into falsehood, and honoured and served the creature more than him who had created it , who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this reason God gave them up to vile lusts; for both their females changed the natural use into that contrary to nature; and in like manner the males also, leaving the natural use of the female, were inflamed in their lust towards one another; males with males working shame, and receiving in themselves the recompense of their error which was fit. And according as they did not think good to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind to practise unseemly things; being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil dispositions; whisperers, back-biters, hateful to God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, void of understanding, faithless, without natural affection, unmerciful; who knowing the righteous judgment of God, that they who do such things are worthy of death, not only practise them, but have fellow delight in those who do them .
While they pretend even God is subject to human speech/serpent speech/non-creating speech, their worship of serpent speech is what you must be saved from and were just saved from if you have heard God as Word.
A few points of the overall situation:
1. You need to get Out of what they CANNOT understand exists as it really is: human speech.
1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him; and he cannot know them because they are spiritually discerned;
Not only is ‘getting out of human speech’ nonsensical to them, but they cannot stop claiming they are the masters who understand the Bible and must tell you what it means.
2. You don’t have the free will or power to do that. They don’t have the free will or power to stop saying what they have been saying.
3. Christ as Word must take you out of serpent speech/non-creating speech and He does this by being Himself and Speaking to you and re-creating you as a new creature in Him As Word. There is nothing for you to ‘do’ to be saved and taken out of human speech.
1 Peter 1:23-25 being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the living and abiding word of God. Because all flesh is as grass, and all its glory as the flower of grass. The grass has withered and its flower has fallen; but the word of the Lord abides for eternity. But this is the word which in the glad tidings is preached to you.
James 1:18 According to his own will begat he us by the word of truth, that we should be a certain first-fruits of *his* creatures.
4. It may sound-a-like to human speech, it may look-a-like to human speech, but the Word of God, Jesus Christ is not human speech/serpent speech/non-creating speech.
There is much more God has to say to you, and He can certainly accomplish that through more than myself. But here is a start.
As God has spoken it through me, I have given it to you.
1 Corinthians 4:15 For if ye should have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus *I* have begotten you through the glad tidings.
Know for certain that when they say “If God tells you to do something, and you can’t do it, then His speech is nonsensical. God isn’t nonsensical, so you must have the power to do what He says.” they falsely praise God in order to cover up the powerlessness of their own speech and make it seem logical in their speech that you must have a free will and therefore must remain subject to them and human speech. They are of anti-Christ. The difference only seems subtle, but it is in fact glaringly obvious to the saved after only a little while in Christ.
Jeremiah 23:16 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they lead you to vanity; they speak a vision of their own heart, not out of the mouth of Jehovah. They say constantly unto them that despise me, Jehovah hath said, Ye shall have peace. And they say unto every one that walketh in the stubbornness of his heart, No evil shall come upon you. For who hath stood in the council of Jehovah, so that he hath perceived and heard his word? who hath hearkened to his word and listened?
Be blessed in Christ/Word of God/Creating Speech.
Romans 8:24-28 For we have been saved in hope; but hope seen is not hope; for what any one sees, why does he also hope? But if what we see not we hope, we expect in patience. And in like manner the Spirit joins also its help to our weakness; for we do not know what we should pray for as is fitting, but the Spirit itself makes intercession with groanings which cannot be uttered. But he who searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes for saints according to God. But we *do* know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to purpose.
In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
