better understanding

[C R F]

When you read the scriptures and you hear things like Jacob too care of his father in laws flocks. First you need to realize these great men of God were not sheep herders of farmers with flocks of cattle and goats. Their flocks were their congragations and when Jacob too them to the watering troffs , it means he too them to the wisdom of the bible. And spotted ones or brown ones where ones not yet having overcome sin and to change them , you teach them different understandings. Its the same with Job and David and his father. Its sort of obvious that priest like Davids father would have sheep like Jesus when he said my sheep will hear my voice. All great men of God had their flocks and many were the beast of the earth the Lord gave then dominion over. The beast are people without spiritual understanding and they are like bruit beast but tamed threw the bondage in their own vain understanding of the teachings, tamed threw their fear but that fear is not the fear of the Lord, it is like the fear Jesus spoke of as the fear of the jews. You would think this doesn't matter much but when you understand people saying some put the blood of swine over the altar, it means they let people offer their teachings and their understanding was not of the word of God, it was the word of men. Same as when it says people ate their own children, you eat the word of God and if a child in spirit teaches you it is as eating your own children. These teachings without spiritual understanding of them do not bring you closer to God, they seperate you from God and that is spiritual death. The Israelites never went around killing thousands of sheep as a scarafice to God . they offered up their clean lambs as a word offering and a teaching offering to God. If they did they were in the way of Satanism. And who is the liar and what is the truth and how do people fall from the truth. Well its all in what you are taught and the understanding you have of the scriptures and if you are inbondage to the sinful nature you are marked with that dreadfull mark spoken of as the beast.
When it says Jacob stole his brothers birth right, Esau was a hunter, he hunted the souls of men taking away their indiviguality putting them in bondage like a Lion devouring its pray but Jacob was perfect and walked upright in his understanding with God. And Esau was hungry for the teachings of God , nothing to do with a bowl of soup.
It's all in your understanding and the spiritual understanding comes when you get ears to hear what is being said by the spirit. Its better because you worship God in spirit and in truth, not for something he is not but you worship a loving kind mercyfull God.
