The Truth About Saint Peter and The Lie That The Church Tells

Saint Peter

The Story of Peter and Jesus

Peter, whose real name was Simon Peter, was the best friend of Jesus or Jesus was the best friend to Peter. When someone posted a verse from the book of Mathew it got me to read that chapter, chapter 16 again. They only used scripture19. It took everything that Jesus was saying and had done to that point way out of context. Many times Christians will do this to only prove their point and leave out the rest that proves another point altogether. When I re-read it it became clearer when I read the whole story and in it’s context. Mathew 16 is an extension of Mathew 15 in regards to getting the whole story and message that was being conveyed by the author that wrote Mathew.

Religions have twisted this message and I too believed what they had said. It wasn't until I read it for myself and the whole paragraph that included two chapters in Mathew that I really got the meaning and the truth of the matter.

Religion uses the one scripture to say that Peter rebuked Jesus. They use it as guilt sword if people deny their words. They even expand it to mean that Peter was rebuking Jesus as the Son of God and denies him and that concept. I did not get that at all when I read Mathew 16.

There are many things and subjects just in that small chapter. I doubt that chapter contains all of the words spoken or deeds done. I would bet that they were summarized by the clergy that translated those words into what the church now calls the Bible. Today’s Bible is so manipulated, and I am saying this with a loving heart, that the only things people get out of it is how to judge others with their own criteria that the clergy want you to. It is a racket. They tell you they want to save your soul, but that is not the whole truth. Only God can do that, no matter what those Christians threaten you with.

I am going to explain the story of Peter. I will not divide up the verses or paragraph by numbered sentences called scripture. They did not write that way back then, neither did they speak that way so why even use it that way in the first place. I tell you the clergy is told to keep you in the dark at all costs. I found this while searching for my own purposes when I went through RCIA (Roman Catholic Initiation of Adults). They have since taken that statement from their on-line books. Think of what that is saying to you. Why would they want to do that and at what cost and what is so secret that they need to threaten?

Mathew 15

For the whole paragraph or story we need to go to the previous chapter and here that is:

And they did all eat, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces seven baskets full, and those eating were four thousand men, apart from women and children. And having let away the multitudes, he went into the boat, and did come to the borders of Magdala.

**Jesus had finished and was getting on the boat to Magdala.

Thoughts On This Scripture

Signs of those times that even the Pharisees and Sadducees (clergy of that time period) could not decipher. Remember Jesus did not like the clergy of his time. They were trying to rip him up so that they had a viable excuse to murder him. Jesus was not speaking of a future time, but of the time that he was living. Jesus did not like the church either. How could it be his bride when he did not like it in the first place?

Matthew 16: 1-3

And the Pharisees and Sadducees having come, tempting, did question him, to shew to them a sign from the heaven,and he answering said to them, `Evening having come, ye say, Fair weather, for the heaven is red,and at morning, Foul weather to-day, for the heaven is red -- gloomy; hypocrites, the face of the heavens indeed ye do know to discern, but the signs of the times ye are not able!

What does it really say?

This is self explanatory what Jesus told them he was speaking of. You bet religion tears this apart to mean something else when they use individual sentences to explain something else altogether.

What does it say?

Where is the story according to Jonah the prophet? What was the sign that he saw? He did not try to explain it to them and he really didn’t have an agenda and so he just left them without judging or damning to a fiery place. At least it is not said here and I really think they left out a whole lot here.

Mathew 16 4-12

A generation evil and adulterous doth seek a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet;' and having left them he went away. And his disciples having come to the other side, forgot to take loaves, and Jesus said to them, `Beware, and take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees;' and they were reasoning in themselves, saying, `Because we took no loaves.' And Jesus having known, said to them, `Why reason ye in yourselves, ye of little faith, because ye took no loaves? Do ye not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets ye took up? nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

how do ye not understand that I did not speak to you of bread -- to take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?'

Then they understood that he did not say to take heed of the leaven of the bread, but of the teaching, of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

What it really says or doesn't say

It does not say nor does state that he is God. The people say that he is another prophet or God himself. He rejoices in Peter for he has learned this to be true from his own heart and soul. In the next verse he tells Peter that he will be the rock and foundation of the assembly. An assembly is a group of people that have things in common. It is not a church. Jesus already knew what he was up against from the clergy so he did not make it a building, but only a group of people.

Mathew 16 13-17

And Jesus, having come to the parts of Cesarea Philippi, was asking his disciples, saying, `Who do men say me to be -- the Son of Man?' and they said, `Some, John the Baptist, and others, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.' He saith to them, `And ye -- who do ye say me to be?' and Simon Peter answering said, `Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.' And Jesus answering said to him, `Happy art thou, Simon Bar-Jona, because flesh and blood did not reveal [it] to thee, but my Father who is in the heavens.

Explaination

Jesus tells Peter that he will be the rock and foundation of the assembly. An assembly is a group of people that have things in common. It is not a church. Jesus already knew what he was up against from the clergy so he did not make it a building, but only a group of people.

Jesus wasn’t telling us that he will give US the keys to the Kingdom. He told Peter that he would give the keys to the Kingdom to him. This also states that what some have phrased as “As above, So Below”.

Mathew 16:18 and 19

And I also say to thee, that thou art a rock, and upon this rock I will build my assembly, and gates of Hades shall not prevail against it; and I will give to thee the keys of the reign of the heavens, and whatever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever thou mayest loose upon the earth shall be having been loosed in the heavens.'

What this says about us

Jesus is talking about the EGO. Lose your EGO and become like him. Jesus also said for us not to worry about where we may sleep or what we shall eat because our needs, not wants that the ego dictates to us, because they will be given to us.

Jesus now says that he is the Son of Man and NOT of God. Who translated that?

Mathew 16 20-23

Then did he charge his disciples that they may say to no one that he is Jesus the Christ. From that time began Jesus to shew to his disciples that it is necessary for him to go away to Jerusalem, and to suffer many things from the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be put to death, and the third day to rise. And having taken him aside, Peter began to rebuke him, saying, `Be kind to thyself, sir; this shall not be to thee;' and he having turned, said to Peter, `Get thee behind me, adversary! thou art a stumbling-block to me, for thou dost not mind the things of God, but the things of men.'

What it really says

They were told NOT to tell others about him or what he has done at this time. Peter was doing as he was told and so were the other disciples. They did not lie and they did not go against Jesus’s wishes like religion tells us they did.

Jesus knew what was going to befall him. That was common sense but the church teaches it as some kind of mystery. Read the beginning story where the Pharasees and the Sadducees came after him. They were looking for him. Jesus knew what he was doing and what it would cause to happen. Anyone, not just Jesus was hung or nailed from a tree if they said anything against Ceasar or Rome. Common Sense!

Read this again and you will see as I do that Peter was not rebuking Jesus but that he was rebuking what was going to happen to his best friend. He did not want to believe that these things were going to happen. He did NOT rebuke Jesus.

Jesus admonished Peter because he selfishly wanted no harm to come to his “best friend”. Anyone would do that even today. Today when someone tells us that they know how they are going to die we called them crazy and deny it. No different then with Jesus and Peter. Yes in Jesus’s eyes that would be a stumbling Block. It would prevent him from being taken seriously and finishing the job that he was set out to do. We do that when those of us who are the living keep our dead from moving on.

Mathew 16 24-28

Then said Jesus to his disciples, `If any one doth will to come after me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow me, for whoever may will to save his life, shall lose it, and whoever may lose his life for my sake shall find it, for what is a man profited if he may gain the whole world, but of his life suffer loss? or what shall a man give as an exchange for his life?

For, the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of his Father, with his messengers, and then he will reward each, according to his work. Verily I say to you, there are certain of those standing here who shall not taste of death till they may see the Son of Man coming in his reign.'

Poor Peter and the words of Jesus

So Peter is not the awful person the church claims him to be. He was just afraid of losing his best friend, just like the rest of us. He was probably also a bit afraid that he may not be what Jesus wanted him to be with the responsibilities he would have after Jesus passed. We would all do the same things. Jesus was concerned about Peter and told him not to be afraid and not to hold onto him. An adversary is not evil nor of a malicious being the church uses to hold onto it’s parishioners. When we pass on we are told to let go. We are told death do us part. We are told NOT to have any graven images and not to worship anything or any person even Jesus. It is for a reason. We cannot move on if things are pulling us back to our life we just left. Love is not holding on, it is letting go.

We are told not to be like Peter in holding onto the flesh, our human earthly bodies. They are the vessel in which holds our soul, or as I like to put it, our puppet. Peter was given the keys to the kingdom, the knowledge of this to pass on. Jesus wanted him to preach this to all the people and was made the rock of the assembly of Jesus’s teachings. It did not reflect the desires of Rome and he was also murdered. Peter did not deny Jesus or stop believing in him. What he denied was the pain and suffering that he knew his best friend would be going through. Religion teaches otherwise and they have omitted Peter’s story from that Bible. Peter was killed a couple of years after Jesus had died for attempting to spread the words and works of Jesus, his best friend. Read Peter’s story, The Acts of Peter. At the very bottom of his account of what he had seen and done Jesus speaks up and says these words and they are as true today as they were when he was alive in his time,

"The rich men of the city, however, those who did not see fit even to acknowledge me, but who reveled in their wealth and pride - with such as these, therefore, do not dine in their houses nor be friends with them, lest their partiality influence you. For many in the churches have shown partiality to the rich, because they also are sinful, and they give occasion for others to sin. But judge them with uprightness, so that your ministry may be glorified, and that my name also, may be glorified in the churches." The disciples answered and said, "Yes, truly this is what is fitting to do."

How Ministers and Preachers of Jesus Should Conduct Themselves

How Followers and Preachers of Jesus Should Conduct Themselves

We are to respect all faiths and beliefs because they know not who, if others are just, Angels Unawares. Jesus did play that on his friends once, dressing up and making himself not recognized just to see how they would treat him. What a surprise he got.

There is a story that a preacher who dressed like a homeless person and went out into the streets and what he found was a surprise too. You never know who God is going to work through and what lessons he will bestow on the host or the people involved.

We are to love our neighbors as ourselves and to treat them just like we would want them to treat us. Many do not grasp this at all and they tend to judge by only certain scripture in that Bible of theirs that they LOVE to use as a sword. They are even told to use it that way by their religion. Jesus never said to use HIS words that way. I have found many will skirt around what Jesus said and how he said things are to be and how they all work, in favor of that sword to judge.

We are to be no better than anyone else and not hold our selves holier than thou or put ourselves on a pedestal.

We are to have and strive to have compassion for others and this earth and all the inhabitants therein. Everything happens for a reason and in their own season and many do not understand that either. If there were no strife or what most call evil, then we would never be able to learn about love and that greatness that he put into each and every one of us. It is all about consequences and how it goes around and comes around. It is the good and the bad, but it is all love and compassion and learning about the God that we have WITHIN us. It is about listening to that God within us and not something outside of us. Nothing we have is outside of us. It is ALL WITHIN us, the Kingdom, The Answers and the questions. The scripture for that is Luke 17:20-22

We just need to sit quietly and listen to the small voice without anyone else’s interpretation of such.

I am a Universal Life Reverend.  I got my certificate in April of 2004.  I abide by their mission and statements.  Reading the Bible gives me answer to what it is that I am to be doing.  Organized religion is something that I do not take lightly and will not succumb to their indoctrination.  Burning in that fire is something that I deal with almost every day in my life, since I do not teach like those organized religions.  Encompassing all religions and beliefs and practices to the God Within all of us, is something that I try my best to do.  Each individual has their own path and I just plant seeds, as Jesus said for us to do.  He never mentioned anything about converting.  I am not here to convert anyone or take them from their religion.  I am here to open their eyes to the love that Jesus holds for us and that is within us all. He only stated that if those who didn’t want to hear about him to just move on to the next one.

What Is a Person of the Cloth, a Minister, a Reverend, a Preacher?

In this article I will have several definitions of what a Minister is.  I will also tell you what it means in the Bible and what Jesus tells us what and how he Ministered.  Then lastly I will tell you how I Minister to my followers.

The first definition, According to Webster's Dictionary,

a minister is:

Main Entry: ¹min·is·ter Pronunciation: \ˈmi-nə-stər\ Function: noun Etymology: Middle English ministre, from Anglo-French, from Latinminister servant; akin to Latinminor smaller Date: 14th century

4: a high officer of state entrusted with the management of a division of governmental activities

5 a: a diplomatic representative (as an ambassador) accredited to the court or seat of government of a foreign state

b: a diplomatic representative ranking below an ambassador

What Some Seminaries Teach You To Become a Minister

I have researched over the Internet and come to just one of the many sites that tell you how and what they teach you to be a Minister. From one site, I have no idea what denomination this is, says that they will teach you these things:

·        The metaphysics of mind, body, and soul

·        The metaphysics of the Trinity

·        Dissecting and experiencing the reality ofbeing and God, the reality and function of thought, and the role that thought plays in hearing God's Voice and perceiving the ego

·        Understanding the Holy Spirit's thought system versus the ego thought system

·        The art of relating to our minds as the Holy Spirit as a primary means of connecting with God's Voice

·        Feeling God's Voice experientially, emotionally, and physically, and the important role that feeling plays in hearing and sharing God's Voice with others

·        The metaphysics of prayer, the many different aspects of prayer, and how to effectively use prayer to hear God's Voice

·        We will delve into the 7 primary ways that people hear God's Voice (feeling, knowing, hearing, signs, words, sight, & shift in perceptions)

·        Give structure and form to hearing God's Voice as a distinct and recognizable voice within you

·        Discuss the differences between hearing God's Voice and using psychic abilities

·        Work with you on deepening the integration between hearing God's Voice and using your natural psychic abilities

This is all in good right? Well when I read some of the things they tell you to get you to stay with their classes it brought to mind what other denominations will teach their seminarians. Here are a few of those things:

Conversion

Getting people to your website is one thing, but getting them to buy something from you, sign up for a workshop, or schedule a counseling session is an entirely different matter. In order to have a successful business, you need both traffic and conversion. You need a large number of potential customers and you need to effectively

·        Connect with them

·        Make them a compelling offer they can't refuse

·        Tell them why they should buy what you have to offer - right now

·        Give them a clear call to action

·        Make the transaction simple and easy to accomplish

There is a skill to accomplishing all of the above steps, and while we can't teach you everything there is to know about these steps in such a short period of time, we will guide you to all the tools and resources you need to be successful

...And furthermore:

What if you don't want to be a minister after all?

If you find yourself uncertain whether you can afford this program or not, it's important to ask yourselves this one important question, "Can you afford NOT to take this program?"

Can you afford:

·        NOT being able to receive clear communication, understanding, and inspiration from God whenever you want it or need it

·        NOT being able to restore yourself to a state of peace, love, and joy whenever you want

·        NOT deeply experiencing your Oneness with God at all times

·        NOT creating the lifestyle and profession that you truly dream about

• What is your life truly like today?

What Does The Bible/Jesus Say Ministering Is

I have looked up the word Minister in the Bible. I used the Young's literal translation as it comes closest to the original that I can read. The passages that I have come across are mostly ministering as in taking care of and not professing such as religion.

Now there were a few that were said that Jesus ministered to the public or group or person where he was at. Being so, it didn't mean that he was preaching because preaching and ministering are two very different things.

Some of the ways that minister was used in the Bible were of those who ministered after they were healed, but that is only telling others of their healing. Jesus did say in the Bible that if he did miracles on people that they should keep quiet. I understand that to be because if they said anything that would bring him more distress of his situation and for their own protection against those who like to tell you that it was Satan or the Devil or that you were making it up and it is not true--very similar to what many do today.

Who Can Minister?

 Everyone is a minister.  If you love your God and tell others about it, then you are ministering to others.  Furthermore if you have love and give love then you already have Jesus and God in your very Body (flesh) and mind and soul.  That is what it says in 1 John Chapter 4.  I don't recollect Jesus saying that one has to go to college or one has to be in a certain religious sect to minister for him.  He does say that if you minister he will back you up and guide you. 

What and How I Minister

Nowhere does Jesus say that you have to be a certain religious sect or denomination to teach his words. 

Nowhere does it say that you MUST use the Bible or any book to teach from. 

Nowhere does it say that you have to go to a college and let others indoctrinate you.

It is my experience that I am to Minister for Jesus Christ. He is not the Devil and he is Not Satan and I am not mis-lead. Jesus tells everyone that if you minister in his name then you are one of his--he mentions-- not Satan or temptations in this at all. He chose me because he did. I don't know why he did but he did. He said to preach or teach without fear and that he would guide me--well he has.

Did you also know that he said all this in the Bible? Yes he did and he tells anyone who does it--while he was in the flesh to hide it, but after he went to heaven he tells us to spread his word. Now that doesn't include all the fear that religions are spreading around. He says that because he loved us first then we love him and if we love him or anything then we are of God and Jesus and they are in us. I love deeply and so that must be why he chose me.

Those who say that Jesus tells you that you are going to hell or that he is sending Satan to tempt you can never know the true and loving Jesus that I know. Satan is fear and it is the fear that is being spread about us, not the love...so if you spread fear then you are playing into Satan's hands--whatever that means, because with Christ (Unconditional Love) in my heart there is no room for fear (Satan).

Jesus is using me to spread love and his true words of love. He needs not to spread the fear that so many others are doing. I now because he is in my mind, body and soul and he guides me each time I tell people of my experience and story of how HE brought me to know what HIS light is and to spread that light to everyone.

Now I know that I will get some that will tell me that it is really Satan doing this and that he is tempting me---but I ask you how you would know the difference. If Jesus was to incarnate right now and come to your house--would you know him or would to push him off as being Satan and tempting you? Jesus did say a few times in that Bible that he would show up unaware and then reward those who were kind to him while he was there in a state that you didn't know who that person was. Jesus said that--not Satan.

Spread his Love, not the Fear and control Jesus and God already knows who is true and who are mis-lead so let them worry about that. All I am to do it teach others the goodness and love that Jesus and God has for us and always have had. Don't let FEAR get you. Jesus said that there is nothing here that can harm you--nothing. He also said not to fear death or anything. I don't think he lied and I don't think Satan is using that to tempt you to go to hell...

1 John 4 If You Love

I found a scripture out of the Bible that people tend to use to control others and keep them in an organized religion and their set of doctrines. What I found was the opposite when I read the whole chapter of that book. The One verse that they use is:

1 John 4:

3And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

     Those who are into religious doctrine and dogma profess that if you do not confess that Jesus is   the Savior you cannot be saved. This is not how I read the whole of the chapter. It goes to tell you that if you love then you are already God's and you already know Jesus Christ because they are already connected and in you. There is no doubt in my reading and in my mind that the whole chapter does not tell you this. There is no mention of sins or any of that. Now this gets me to wondering why those who put the Bible together and mistranslated several things and took out and changed them about the purpose that they *accidentally* left this in there. It does away with the church as a provider to save your soul or put you in Hell.

    You can read it yourself and deduct you own conclusions.

This version is King James.

1 JOHN 4

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

We love him, because he first loved us.

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

This version is Young's Literal Translation: 

1 JOHN 4

Beloved, every spirit believe not, but prove the spirits, if of God they are, because many false prophets have gone forth to the world;  in this know ye the Spirit of God; every spirit that doth confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is, and every spirit that doth not confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is not; and this is that of the antichrist, which ye heard that it doth come, and now in the world it is already.

Ye -- of God ye are, little children, and ye have overcome them; because greater is He who [is] in you, than he who is in the world.

They -- of the world they are; because of this from the world they speak, and the world doth hear them;  we -- of God we are; he who is knowing God doth hear us; he who is not of God, doth not hear us; from this we know the spirit of the truth, and the spirit of the error.

Beloved, may we love one another, because the love is of God, and every one who is loving, of God he hath been begotten, and doth know God; he who is not loving did not know God, because God is love.

In this was manifested the love of God in us, because His Son -- the only begotten -- hath God sent to the world, that we may live through him; in this is the love, not that we loved God, but that He did love us, and did send His Son a propitiation for our sins.

Beloved, if thus did God love us, we also ought one another to love; God no one hath ever seen; if we may love one another, God in us doth remain, and His love is having been perfected in us; in this we know that in Him we do remain, and He in us, because of His Spirit He hath given us.

And we -- we have seen and do testify, that the Father hath sent the Son -- Saviour of the world; whoever may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God in him doth remain, and he in God; and we -- we have known and believed the love, that God hath in us; God is love, and he who is remaining in the love, in God he doth remain, and God in him.

In this made perfect hath been the love with us, that boldness we may have in the day of the judgment, because even as He is, we -- we also are in this world; fear is not in the love, but the perfect love doth cast out the fear, because the fear hath punishment, and he who is fearing hath not been made perfect in the love; we -- we love him, because He -- He first loved us; if any one may say -- `I love God,' and his brother he may hate, a liar he is; for he who is not loving his brother whom he hath seen, God -- whom he hath not seen -- how is he able to love?

and this [is] the command we have from Him, that he who is loving God, may also love his brother.

There are slight differences. The main object to this chapter is to tell the readers that If you Love, Then You Know God and Jesus and If you do that, Then You are God....................not a part of God.

                                                        You Are A God! 

That is what it says, plain as day and in black and white, unless they mistranslated it and adjusted it otherwise. Now being a God doesn't make you better than anyone else because we are all gods. Did you get that? We are all gods and we are all equal. Now some of you may read into this a god is all powerful. Well yes we are. We make up our own world and our own lessons and we have the Free Will to learn those lessons in the manner in which we will learn the best.

Being a god doesn't mean you are on a pedestal because if you think like that then you will fall off the pedestal real quick.

God/You is helping us to be and to realize that we are a god. We grow spiritually through the lessons that we choose. Jesus came to teach us that. He and God rejoice with us when we learn those lessons and accomplish our goals. At the same time he doesn't hate us or punish us because we failed to learn a lesson. We just get up and try it again. There is no right or wrong way to learn them.

Love and Fear Are Not Compatible

1 John 4:

fear is not in the love, but the perfect love doth cast out the fear, because the fear hath punishment, and he who is fearing hath not been made perfect in the love;

we -- we love him, because He -- He first loved us;

if any one may say -- `I love God,' and his brother he may hate, a liar he is; for he who is not loving his brother whom he hath seen, God -- whom he hath not seen -- how is he able to love?

Here again he says that you cannot fear God if you love. If you love then you know and are god. Very simple. There is no room for fear. The only ones who don't know god are the ones who say to fear him..........hahaha, funny isn't that what the religious doctrines tell you to do?

Definition Of LOVE In Biblical Terms

 1 Corinthians 13 (Young's Literal Translation)

1 CORINTHIANS 13

If with the tongues of men and of messengers I speak, and have not love, I have become brass sounding, or a cymbal tinkling; and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets, and all the knowledge, and if I have all the faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing; and if I give away to feed others all my goods, and if I give up my body that I may be burned, and have not love, I am profited nothing.

The love is long-suffering, it is kind, the love doth not envy, the love doth not vaunt itself, is not puffed up, doth not act unseemly, doth not seek its own things, is not provoked, doth not impute evil,

rejoiceth not over the unrighteousness, and rejoiceth with the truth; all things it beareth, all it believeth, all it hopeth, all it endureth.

The love doth never fail; and whether [there be] prophecies, they shall become useless; whether tongues, they shall cease; whether knowledge, it shall become useless; for in part we know, and in part we prophecy; and when that which is perfect may come, then that which [is] in part shall become useless.

When I was a babe, as a babe I was speaking, as a babe I was thinking, as a babe I was reasoning, and when I have become a man, I have made useless the things of the babe; for we see now through a mirror obscurely, and then face to face; now I know in part, and then I shall fully know, as also I was known; and now there doth remain faith, hope, love -- these three; and the greatest of these [is] love.

When will the kingdom come?

Jesus said, "It will not come by waiting for it. It will not be a matter of saying 'here it is' or 'there it is.' Rather, the kingdom of the father is spread out upon the earth, and men do not see it."

What are you waiting for? Some say the rapture where you will be taken up off the Earth. This doesn't say that though. It says the kingdom in which you are waiting for is here.....right on Earth. Jesus explains that it is spread all over the earth and yet you can't see it.

You are waiting for someone to come and take you away from the things that have been done to the earth and to your lives. That is not what he is telling us. It is time for Christian's to WAKE UP.

Look what the generations before us have caused to the Kingdom. We are the sins of our fathers. Our father's before us have done wrongs to the planet that is called Earth and that Jesus calls the Kingdom. They may not have known what they have done, but it doesn't stop us from turning our eyes away from what has been done and the effects of those.

We are living in the Kingdom which you want to not be a part of, but you are a part of it. God made if for you. Why would you want to leave it in such a hurry as you do now? There is no leaving it.

The Pre-trib "Rapture", Myth or Fact?

Now that you know that you will never leave it, don't you think it is time to take responsibility for the actions of our father's before us? Don't you think we need to stand up and take notice of what is being done to the earth and our very lives? Don't you think you better live in God's Kingdom and take care of what he has given us?

It says to me that we are in the heaven and there will be no rapture or being taken anywhere. It says to me that everything that the Father in Heaven gives us is all right here and that we aren't going to be leaving anything behind and that we are responsible for everything that we do to this Earth and that we have to live in it. It is heaven. It tells me that we have to take our responsibility for what we have done to God's Kingdom. We are not going to be leaving it. It is here. It is not up in the sky or around the bend in some spaceship or anywhere but right here.

There has been over 200 times where religions expected Jesus to Return and every single time he has not.  Why you ask, well, he is within you.

Just for fun go to the website that  shows many times and when and who prophesied and what happened.  This is an updated version that include the Camping prophesy and up to present day.

Who, How and Where Are You to Pray

Prayer 

There are many forms of prayer and reasons why we pray. Prayer is the same as meditation and so forth. Just because there are many different meanings and languages for the word Prayer it does not mean that it is any different. A Rose is called many different names in many different languages but it is still a rose.

When someone of a different mindset or cultural upbringing or even a different religion people tell them that they will pray for them. What exactly do you pray for? Do you pray that they will come around to your way of thinking or that Your God will come and intercept their way of thinking to yours? Do you pray that they will see YOUR light?

When you do that you become selfish and prideful. We don't know how God is using the person whom doesn't believe as you do. We don't know what they have suffered through or where their life is leading. We don't know anything about them.

Jesus said Pride Goeth Before a Fall. When we impose our way of life or the ways that we have lived onto another person, it is pride.

In the orginial scripture the the Lord's Prayer did include the mother too and not only the father. The one that we have in the Bible is a shortened version of the one that Jesus taught the disciples. It was shortened because of time restraints, not because it was not to be said in full context.

When we pray we should be asking for what is right for that person and not what is right for you. God gave them life to lead just as he did you. If you read the Bible it says that God will never leave us and that sin is far from us. When we pray for the earth and the people that have ruined it, we shouldn't be praying negative prayers. Mother Nature knows what she is doing. We need to stay out of her way and pray that she does her business in a timely manner. If you take a look at nature, before it is going to storm most insects and animals will ot make a sound and will go away from the area. Why must we do the opposite? Why do we always want things to be in our ways. Why can't we just Let It Be and Let Live?

When you pray for me don't pray that I will see things your way or according to your rules. Pray for me that I see and do as I was and am supposed to be doing. If it be for healing, ask that the person has the tools to deal with whatever they are going through not necessarily that they heal. We don't know if they are supposed to have that condition in teaching others to do something different. We don't know if someone was supposed to use them to teach themselves or others through the things that that person is going through.

Saying prayers to be selfish is stopping humanity from growing.

The Original Lord's Prayer

  

The Prayer To Our Father

(in the original Aramaic)

Abwûn

"Oh Thou, from whom the breath of life comes,

d'bwaschmâja

who fills all realms of sound, light and vibration.

Nethkâdasch schmach

May Your light be experienced in my utmost holiest.

Têtê malkuthach.

Your Heavenly Domain approaches.

Nehwê tzevjânach aikâna d'bwaschmâja af b'arha.

Let Your will come true - in the universe (all that vibrates)

just as on earth (that is material and dense).

Hawvlân lachma d'sûnkanân jaomâna.

Give us wisdom (understanding, assistance) for our daily need,

Waschboklân chaubên wachtahên aikâna

daf chnân schwoken l'chaijabên.

detach the fetters of faults that bind us, (karma)

like we let go the guilt of others.

Wela tachlân l'nesjuna

Let us not be lost in superficial things (materialism, common temptations),

ela patzân min bischa.

but let us be freed from that what keeps us off from our true purpose.

Metol dilachie malkutha wahaila wateschbuchta l'ahlâm almîn.

From You comes the all-working will, the lively strength to act,

the song that beautifies all and renews itself from age to age.

Amên.

Sealed in trust, faith and truth.

(I confirm with my entire being)

Lords Prayer, from the original Aramaic
(Jesus spoke this language, not Hebrew or Greek)

Translation by Neil Douglas-Klotz in Prayers of the Cosmos

O Birther! Father- Mother of the Cosmos

Focus your light within us - make it useful.

Create your reign of unity now-

through our fiery hearts and willing hands

Help us love beyond our ideals

and sprout acts of compassion for all creatures.

Animate the earth within us: we then

feel the Wisdom underneath supporting all.

Untangle the knots within

so that we can mend our hearts' simple ties to each other.

Don't let surface things delude us,

But free us from what holds us back from our true purpose.

Out of you, the astonishing fire,

Returning light and sound to the cosmos.

      Amen.

Lords Prayer, from Aramaic into Old English
Translation by G.J.R. Ouseley from The Gospel of the Holy Twelve

Our Father-Mother Who art above and within:

Hallowed be Thy Name in twofold Trinity.

In Wisdom, Love and Equity Thy Kingdom come to all.

Thy will be done, As in Heaven so in Earth.

Give us day by day to partake of Thy holy Bread, and the fruit of the living Vine.

As Thou dost forgive us our trespasses, so may we forgive others who trespass against us.

Shew upon us Thy goodness, that to others we may shew the same.

In the hour of temptation, deliver us from evil.

Amun.

Introduction to the Ancient Essenes and the Modern EsseneChurch of Christ

Translations from Aramaic, Origins and History of The Lord's Prayer

Are You Praying Right?

In the Bible, in Mathew, Jesus tells us exactly how to pray.  I see so many Christians posting their prayers for all to read and see.  It gets to be so bad that, I for one tend to ignore them now.  I know that they have been “told” how to pray and when to pray and just how to go about the whole thing.  I have seen people post about how often that they pray and this is all wrong.  They obviously trust someone else to read that Bible for them and to tell them what it means and how to interpret it themselves.  Well some of it is a personal interpretation.  Jesus also said that it all starts with us. It starts with our thoughts and so prayer is also our thoughts and what we want others to do.  That is not what Jesus was talking about.  Most expect others to conform to their indoctrination or ways of believing.  Jesus never said that we are to change another.  He only said that we should watch what we think, say and do and not to judge others.  So these are the rules of the game of prayer. I chose the Young’s Literal Translation because it is not so watered down like that newer versions are or that stem from a King that only waned some way to capitalize on people’s very thoughts and pockets.

^“And when thou mayest pray, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites, because they love in the synagogues, and in the corners of the broad places -- standing -- to pray, that they may be seen of men; verily I say to you, that they have their reward.

But thou, when thou mayest pray, go into thy chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who [is] in secret, and thy Father who is seeing in secret, shall reward thee manifestly.

And -- praying -- ye may not use vain repetitions like the nations, for they think that in their much speaking they shall be heard, be ye not therefore like to them, for your Father doth know those things that ye have need of before your asking him…”

Go to your bedchambers and ask for forgiveness in judging others and trying to see things your own way and get that log out of your eye first.  Their lives are set by themselves in what they want to learn in this life and not one of us are supposed to be just like another.  We were not made to be like Robots.  We are not The BORG, going around and assimilating everyone else into some mass Hive.  We are not one in seven or 2 of eight.

Have a great Day and Love One Another As Your Self.
