  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Mat 18:11 ["For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.]
Mat 18:12 "What do you think? If any man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go and search for the one that is straying?
Mat 18:13 "If it turns out that he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.
Mat 18:14 "So it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones perish.
Mat 18:15 "If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother.
Mat 18:16 "But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that BY THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES EVERY FACT MAY BE CONFIRMED.
Mat 18:17 "If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.

I believe God's will is for us to manifest the glory
of Jesus Christ on this earth by trusting Him (faith,
without which it's impossible to please Him) and letting
Him transform our lives.

That His Son might be exalted and that we too would
walk in that fullness of life and perfect love and liberty
that Jesus purchased for us...

18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor;
he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted,
to preach deliverance to the captives,
and recovering of sight to the blind,
to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

Yahushua is the human manifestation of Yahuweh, who came into our world to expose the nature and purpose of our Creator, to also expose deception by revealing the truth, and to execute Yahuweh’s plan to give humankind the most wonderful gift in the universe.

Naturally, the most wonderful gift is that of salvation, a gift only Yahushua can provide. However, we are to conduct Yahuweh's business by informing others about Him and His nature and teaching others the truth while exposing deception.

"In the same way (kathos - accordingly, and in the same manner, proportion and degree, just as) also it [the Word] and He [Yahushau] exists (eimi) within (en - in, near, and among) all others of similar status (panti - everyone belonging to the same class or group) in the world (kosmos - universe), bearing fruit (karpophoreo - being effective, productive, causing good results) and enabling growth (auxano - speaking of an outside power stimulating, nurturing, and increasing life, empowering it to reach its full potential and become greater), just as (kathos) also it and He is in and with you, setting you apart (apo) the day you listened and understood (akouso), came to fully know and receive (epiginosko - were acquainted with, becoming completely aware of, recognizing, acknowledging, comprehending, and accepting) Yahweh’s (ΘΥ - God’s/Elohym’s) grace (charis - favor, generous and helpful gift given out of kindness) by way of the divinely disclosed and verifiable truth (aletheias - the manifest essence and appearance of unveiled truthfulness and uprightness)." (Colossians 1:6)

These things known, contemplate the power of what comes next: "The familial love (agape - affection resulting from a conscious evaluation and choice) in, by and with (en) the Ruach/Spirit (ΠΝΙ) is the reason (dia - and the way) we also are set apart (apo) and have not ceased (pauo) since the day we heard and understood the message (akouo). Our communicated advocacy (proseuchomai - prayer; from pros, to advantageously come near and euchomai, to express one’s desires conversationally with God) for you asks for (aiteo - calls for) you to be filled (pleroo - liberally supplied) with correct and precise knowledge (epignosis - to become thoroughly acquainted with and accurately know) His (autos) purpose and will (thelema) in (en) all (pas) insight and wisdom (sophia - intelligent understanding based upon experience and full and accurate knowledge, discretion and prudence) and the awareness that connects and relates things (synesis - promotes discernment by bringing together what is known) by way of the Spirit (ΠΝΙ)." (Colossians 1:8-9)

This passage includes a lesson in how to think and in how to understand the mind and purpose of God. It was the prayer of the apostles. Thinking which leads to understanding and wisdom combines knowledge with discernment - recognizing that one without the other is useless. It even defines discernment as the ability to make connections. Wisdom is the result of seeing the relationship between things. It is the essence of being judgmental and it results in accurate conclusions.

This passage begins by sharing that "familial love" is a direct benefit of understanding the Word, but more than that, it credits the Set Apart Spirit for this result. Then Paul explains something I’ve long wrestled with. From the moment he was exposed to the truth everything changed. He was consumed with a desire to share what he had discovered. Those who pretend to have a relationship with God, and yet are content to wave their arms in church, listen to a sermon, and drop a few shekels into the pot, aren’t acting as if they have been reborn into the most exciting family in the universe. I know; I used to be one of them, and I was living a lie. Our passion for God’s business is the barometer between faith on one hand versus trust on the other. Do you believe that God exists or do you know Him - yada Yahweh?




As a reminder, the capitalized Greek letters within the parenthesis represent the placeholders used throughout all of the 70 extant first-, second-, and third-century, pre-constantinian Renewed Covenant manuscripts for the two names and five titles attributable to Yahuweh, Yahushua, and the Set Apart Spirit. The names were not transliterated and written out because there was no Y, H, or W sound attributable to the letters in the Greek alphabet, and the titles were represented by placeholders rather than translated words because the Hebrew terms were more accurate and descriptive than their closest Greek replacements. Furthermore, by using placeholders rather than transliterations and translations, we are required by design to examine Hebrew Scripture to understand Greek - viewing the Renewed Covenant through the perspective of the Old.

His will for each and every one of us is very basic and very simple. 1. TRUST him, the Lord God of Israel
2. Love each other and live to be a blessing to others.

That is all. The scripture to back this should be obvious. These two basic things have been his will since Adam, and haven't changed.

If the world had been doing this, there would have been no need for The Ten Commandments and the Law. If the world had been trusting God and loving each other, there would not have been a need for Jesus.

Gregory, this is my understanding.
God's will for us is written as God's word.
16 Now when someone leaves a will, it is necessary to prove that the person who made it is dead. 17 The will goes into effect only after the person’s death. While the person who made it is still alive, the will cannot be put into effect.
18 That is why even the first covenant was put into effect with the blood of an animal. 19 For after Moses had read each of God’s commandments to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, along with water, and sprinkled both the book of God’s law and all the people, using hyssop branches and scarlet wool. 20 Then he said, “This blood confirms the covenant God has made with you.”

Jesus knows the Father perfectly. All these things that He taught His disciples and the apostles led up to the biggest purpose He came here for. To show us the truth and after He had shown them the truth, was nailed to the cross, died, and then rose the third day, He appeared to them and told them to...

Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

How do we seek the Kingdom of God? Is it not to seek those who are lost and lead them to trust in Jesus the way we do?
Jam 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
Jam 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
Jam 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
Jam 2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
Jam 2:22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
What kind of works will Jesus look for? Spreading the Gospel.

What happens when His Holy Spirit comes upon us?
Act 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Amen.
