2nd Peter 2 - 10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. 11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
Jude 1 - 8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion and speak evil of dignities. 9 Yet Michael, the Archangel, when contending with the devil, he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
I serve with the angels set over me just as even Jesus himself worked with them since he was both fully man and fully God*, which you can not say that humans in a sinful state are fully human. I do not however bend my knee to evil spirits seeing as the good angels do not do that either neither did Jesus nor the prophets nor the apostles. 'funny' how evil men want to try to use the bible as an authority for their own self will! but the "government" that I have is in heaven as this is where my home is. sadly most humans still consider the fallen world to be their home and so they use the bible as a means of justifying all sorts of evils in both the religions and governments and yet I know that God desires for all men to work in harmony with HIS kingdom which is eternal and everlasting and has always been. and yet it was the Israelites and then later the Christians who then often decided that they wanted an earthly ruler over them.
God is able to define anything. He uses words to teach the greatest Wonder of all, the Gospel of Salvation. He is able to define you with words.
indeed and we humans have a very hard time with constantly defining God which is why definitions are inferior to existing with God in the true humanity and spirit of Jesus Christ. here are some very beautiful verses that go along with what i'm saying and they are good to be all understood as one Word from God:
John 5:17-23 (YLT)
And Jesus answered them, `My Father till now doth work, and I work;' because of this, then, were the Jews seeking the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the sabbath, but he also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God. Jesus therefore responded and said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything of himself, if he may not see the Father doing anything; for whatever things He may do, these also the Son in like manner doth; for the Father doth love the Son, and doth shew to him all things that He himself doth; and greater works than these He will shew him, that ye may wonder. `For, as the Father doth raise the dead, and doth make alive, so also the Son doth make alive whom he willeth; for neither doth the Father judge any one, but all the judgment He hath given to the Son, that all may honour the Son according as they honour the Father; he who is not honouring the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him.
John 5:31-47 (YLT)
`If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not true; another there is who is testifying concerning me, and I have known that the testimony that he doth testify concerning me is true; ye have sent unto John, and he hath testified to the truth. `But I do not receive testimony from man, but these things I say that ye may be saved; he was the burning and shining lamp, and ye did will to be glad, for an hour, in his light. `But I have the testimony greater than John's, for the works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me. `And the Father who sent me Himself hath testified concerning me; ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor His appearance have ye seen; and His word ye have not remaining in you, because whom He sent, him ye do not believe. `Ye search the Writings, because ye think in them to have life age-during, and these are they that are testifying concerning me; and ye do not will to come unto me, that ye may have life; glory from man I do not receive, but I have known you, that the love of God ye have not in yourselves. `I have come in the name of my Father, and ye do not receive me; if another may come in his own name, him ye will receive; how are ye able--ye--to believe, glory from one another receiving, and the glory that is from God alone ye seek not? `Do not think that I will accuse you unto the Father; there is who is accusing you, Moses--in whom ye have hoped; for if ye were believing Moses, ye would have been believing me, for he wrote concerning me; but if his writings ye believe not, how shall ye believe my sayings?'
John 14:5-17 (YLT)
Thomas saith to him, `Sir, we have not known whither thou goest away, and how are we able to know the way?' Jesus saith to him, `I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me; if ye had known me, my Father also ye would have known, and from this time ye have known Him, and have seen Him.' Philip saith to him, `Sir, shew to us the Father, and it is enough for us;' Jesus saith to him, `So long time am I with you, and thou hast not known me, Philip? he who hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how dost thou say, Shew to us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? the sayings that I speak to you, from myself I speak not, and the Father who is abiding in me, Himself doth the works; believe me, that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; and if not, because of the works themselves, believe me. `Verily, verily, I say to you, he who is believing in me, the works that I do--that one also shall do, and greater than these he shall do, because I go on to my Father; and whatever ye may ask in my name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son; if ye ask anything in my name I will do it . `If ye love me, my commands keep, and I will ask the Father, and another Comforter He will give to you, that he may remain with you--to the age; the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it doth not behold him, nor know him, and ye know him, because he doth remain with you, and shall be in you.
How can man be a microtheos, when even the Angels are not gods, and we are made lower than them?
Hebrews 2 - 6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? Or the son of man, that thou visitest him? 7 Thou madest him a little
lower than the angels...
Man is made in God's image, but Humans are not little gods. Only Humans who have been adopted, through the Spirit of Jesus, share in
His godhood; but apart from Him we are dogs & brut beasts.
Anyway, I got off topic here.
Thanks for your thoughts on if we are Christian or Israel.
yes the difference between fallen man and the perfect and true humanity that Jesus Christ gave to the world is the difference between heaven and earth. but all men are Gods son, it is just that the irrational and limited revelation that humans had of God make them act like a beast since they often want to function in their base nature of animal passions or allow some other kind of harlot perception of their soul to go in the direction that it will lead them ( into a pit and even this is not without Gods grace ). which is why the Lord loves his virgin mary so much for she is the example of submission to God in a pleasing way to him and she was the one that, though she was a virgin, gave birth to the Son of God. it is a pattern for our own self to repeat. but the fallen world is being transformed by God and that which will endure the fires of heaven shall be what the earth is in eternity.
