Courting Solomon

We have come to see that the true believer wanted to be with and near to God no matter what the cost, even suffering Hell itself for His sake, and the other wanted the Authority to make a lord out of himself, which not even the LORD desired! How preposterous!

We find in the Scriptures, the Lord wanted no more than to be known. To be your friend and helper through thick and through thin...A Spirit unwilling to abandon and neglect the most pitiful of men. Always there, from beginning to end. And for this, denied and hated by all at one time or another and most vehemently by those who had once claimed to love and serve in His Name.

Paul's many transgressions were wiped away. No man could have done this no matter how perfect he became in pratice and devotion. It was the Lord's doing.

"Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief."

While Joseph who strove lawfully for most of his life, was condemned for the worst sin in the book, hating the Spirit of the Lord and his brother. Falsifying and misrepresenting much with a Work that ought to have been miraculously successful an yet was and shall be because of the Lord.

Joseph was as true as the Lord for a time, he just couldn't be the Lord unless he beat the Lord and this he was willing to try for; because, as has been shown many times over, such is possible with the help of the Evil One.

Jhn 12:16 "These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and [that] they had done these things unto him."

Which means Paul's claim cannot be entirely true and I believe he knew better but taught such because such was true in a way and because it was lawful.

Hbr 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

In a never ending Kingdom, Christ does and must indeed suffer from the foundation to the very end.

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.

Ezekiel 37:23 I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.

2Cr 6:16 For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Rev 21:3 Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God.

Thus the Most Holy of Holies became such because of Solomon, who entered as the High Priest to begin the Sacrifice with animals and entered again as the Lord to offer Himself, as Y'shua/Jesus.

Thus:

Mat 12:42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon [is] here.

Solomon was the Lord indulging in Sensualist Pleasure. Jesus was the Lord Exalted in the Spirit, above and beyond temptation of the flesh.

And I've the notion that Solomon made bargains and deals with Idols only to appease the wrath that they were unleashing on his brethren because his brethren had become subject to these idols, making deals wherein they betrayed Solomon, yet Solomon chose to remain faithful even though he was being betrayed...thus he sacrificed all for his brethren, and should have condemned them in their tresspass against him and been faithful to the God of Israel alone, his/our Father and remained King. But he had a heart which wept for those who suffered and was willing to suffer for them.

Jhn 11:35 Jesus wept.

What Joseph may not have cared for was his own brethren or the "sheep" he claimed to be a shepherd of, though they reaped great rewards simply for being found in the Way and living righteously. They call their temples, "wards" for that is what they have become, lock downs, with pew checks instead of bed checks...Nevertheless, a Chosen Priesthood. And that which conformeth and receiveth the Lord's correction and criticism without hardening Itself shall blossom unto a Divinely Anointed Spring of Life. Which means baptizing in "living waters," which I think means we should come "out of the closet" baptism and return to actual rivers and streams that flow with living waters...A Jordan or what will you...

Practice makes perfect but perfection is hardly ever the mark of a pratictioner, because he is at Divine Liberty to subdue creation. While the wicked must keep a perfect facade up to feed a beastly lust that is unworthy of anything from above.

D&C 58:33 Then they say in their hearts: This is not the work of the Lord, for his promises are not fulfilled. But wo unto such, for their reward lurketh beneath, and not from above.

The Priesthood of the LDS Church has been chosen to do a very difficult Work, and they have been remarkably successful, in the most simplest and worthy of tasks, while failing in the greater task of interpreting the Scriptures and in practicing some rites and observances and in Faith of His Providence and Abundance.

What they have done really well, and it is because they have been lawful and orderly, is Baptize unto Eternal Life which is of the Brit Hadashah and for the Latter-days.

There is no more filthy individual than he who is trying to be clean or Holy without God.

Such a fundamental change in practice and leadership in the LDS Church will bring them into Proper Order and Life in the Spirit of Divine Liberty that need not hide away nor sterilize worship services. Because of improper order they have become Life Serving Death rather than as Paul understood, sinful man serving Life, striving to protect and enable the worthy to be known and mark himself as unworthy yet chosen and anointed because of his devotion and relation to the Lord. Such is Death serving Life, proper Order, which cannot be manipulated by the Beast.

And both understandings must return to Moses and the Jews for righteous instruction in worship.

The Lord's People knew a profound liberty that allowed them to live a chaotic life of bliss, that welcomed Creations gifts and marveled at the never ending procession of miracles within Their Temple of Life. This "chaos" was immaculately perfect, and wondrously affective. The more orderly and neurotic the Church and Society became the less wonderful and immaculate She became. And it was because people were fearfully serving the Grave, which is never full and always hungry. The Body, though taking a form of a perfect statue, was rotten at the core and retarded in understanding.

So, Paul's Agreement is more like unto Moses or Solomon, Death Serving Life, because the worthy are being served by the openly unworthy. Joseph's Church became the worthy serving the Unworthy One. Nevertheless, they possess the Work that is supposed to lead the blind and helpless in the Latter-days, if only they will follow God's Chosen Seer and People, which is not Joseph nor "Mormons."

But Jews and The Christ.

The problem that was making this understanding impossible to interpret and realize is that the Church Christ and Paul established is in shambles, defiled with the egos and vile understandings of a million professors who cannot find the wherewithal to be silent for an hour to even Hear the Spirit whom Mormons did Hear and strive with erringly for no more reason then that they are not chosen Jews, but very willing Gentiles and a very beautiful people. Nor will these above mentioned proffessors Hear anything but their own greedy claims on a gospel none of them have understood and they do not they care to. They do not Believe. They only know that being a professor pays the bills these days and puts food on their plates. They turn everything upright, instead of as the original Christians did, turning it all upside down. Instead they make everything a vile humanitarian effort and Israel is a mockery worse than that of what Ephraim may have done with the Scriptures we know as the Book of Mormon. This is why Christ has had to choose the LDS Church; even neurotic, forced worship is better than the insipidness and evil of a humanitarian church and culture. Such pride is the most vile of any kingdom and the most injurous of all when realized in the heart of an adherent. This leads to a militant denial and a willingness to do anything to remain in "Egypt."

Fear not! This can all be change in an instant. Simply change your mind. Turn back to Him, be baptized and believe. Even though our civilization was set up to be a ludicrous humanitarian whore's tool, with the simple and fundamental change in your mind, all the whore's works can serve Us and Christ instead. And though ye be dead in sins, ye shall now receive the Gift and enable wonders and miracles to return to Creation and bless all. Stop trying to do, and Let Him Be and Do.

The Whore and her merry minions have been working overtime to defile the understanding of the Children of God, especially the Sons, at the heart of whom lies all Power and Glory of the Miraculous and Divine Authority of the Kingdom of God. Forgetfulness and vice be praised!

She takes pride in rewarding those who make the lame vain, retarding the understanding of what their service/gift is to the world. She makes them comfortable and devours them whole when they bud. Jesus sets us back on the Road to Glory...

Jhn 9:1-3 And as [Jesus] passed by, he saw a man which was blind from [his] birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

Yes, the lame have a purpose and are not to be condemned as unclean or shunned as untouchable. But God is not to be mocked while "humanity" glories in divising ways of making the lame truly useless to us all and themselves. Setting them out of the way and Way does not help them nor us...

And this is just one example of the many of our vile follies that we turn into supposed victories or achievements. This is what leads to Nazi Reign and such will come again and swiftly if we do not condemn our pride to save ourselves.

She makes the vilest sort of vanity look and seem healthy and praiseworthy while condemning healthy pride as something it is not, vain and/or haughty.

Remember the Marriage Supper...Those who were bidden were cast off and the lame and the needy were welcomed to the Feast.

We Interrupt This Program...

To Bring Ye An Actual   Emergency...9/11

 

Ezekiel Brings It

 

Eze 7:1-27 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.

Now [is] the end [come] upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abominations.

And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come.

An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come.

The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble [is] near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.

Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine anger upon thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense thee for all thine abominations.

And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense thee according to thy ways and thine abominations [that] are in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD that smiteth.

Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth;the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.

Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them [shall remain], nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither [shall there be] wailing for them.

The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath [is] upon all the multitude thereof.

For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision [is] touching the whole multitude thereof, [which] shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.

They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath [is] upon all the multitude thereof.

The sword [is] without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that [is] in the field shall die with the sword; and he that [is] in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.

But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity.

All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak [as] water.

They shall also gird [themselves] with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame [shall be] upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads.

They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty: but they made the images of their abominations [and] of their detestable things therein: therefore have I set it far from them.

And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it.

My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret [place]: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.

Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.

Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled.

Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and [there shall be] none.

Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.

The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.

Endurance Time

Jhn 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.

Scripture teaches that our sin separates us from our Holy God, so that we cannot approach Him without atonement (covering) for our sin. We must make peace with God and God's Atonement protects His people as a blanket, covering what would otherwise keep us separated. By obeying God's Instructions, Israel showed he and we want God to rule over him and His people.

In the Latter-days the instructions are different, though the Law and the Testimony remain the same forever. It seemeth to change in Him because he is the Law. The Way is Easy now...all we have to do is show up. For this God hath chosen a Church and Priesthood for the Latter-days. And it is the One True Church and Priesthood. Please doubt not, and seek ye a church to be baptized in today.

Because of people's inability to understand Paul's gospel many have been damned to Saul's wanderings with an evil spirit upon them to wrestle with daily. I believe this was Saul's intent in Paul as he struggled to regain control of his vessel...(1Ch 13:3 And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we enquired not at it in the days of Saul.) Saul ultimately lost the battle, God be praised, and Paul overcame but many have lost the battle and gone back to the wilderness, therefore they need to come unto John or Peter for rebaptism.

Paul's gospel is the most cleverly wrought work in the new testament and maybe the entire Scriptures. It's heretical while being faithful...manipulative while being honest and leading to know Christ deeply and more clearly, while obfuscating the same as a protective Shepherd might, as Christ himself would and did with parables. The genius of it is that it is intended to fulfill in Christ every claim and word, but particularly, the promise to reveal what is in every man's heart.

To misunderstand Paul's gospel is to reap the demons of Saul, while to understand and to overcome with Paul is to escape the same and reconcile yourself to God. Beautiful! So dramatically faithful, yet careful and wise beyond words. I say beyond words because one must follow to prove them; one must act and do, and leave behind the old man and his sins...Corruption comes from the struggle to overcome his former self. He goes to insane, Spirit driven lengths to establish Christ as God's Head. His gospel is a gift to every struggling , failing and sometimes dying believer whom didst ever strive for God and Christ.

The question one may find oneself asking is...does Paul intend to betray and abandon or testify to the Truth and redeem? Could it be both? And again, the answer lies in the practice of what is revealed...No man knew Jesus Christ as intimately as Paul, and whether he liked Jesus or not is ultimately irrelevant, because all men have a love/hate relationship with God, especially when separated by sin and envy. Was his intention to lift the Body up to a height of exultant bliss only to let it fall to the depths that Saul had to endure? Obviously not, but that may have been the outcome many times over...God be praised for the Mystery that Saves from what seemeth to be disaster, and that is the especially wonderful part about Paul's gospel that Paul cannot boast of and does not boast of and I believe would never boast of for that is Paul, faithful and righteous even in a fallen warring state as Saul.

And brethren of like mind and spirit concede.

At any rate, a sufficient number of people did misunderstand Paul and are walking around haunted, if not terrorized, by an evil spirit much the same as the one which was told to have come upon king Saul, and the relief must come from someone like David whom the Lord's Spirit had rule over. ALL are now in need of rebaptism, though Paul was sent not to do so, that I believe is the LORD's final intention for Paul's work.

Act 26:16-18, 22-23, 29 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;

Delivering thee from the people, and [from] the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,

To open their eyes, [and] to turn [them] from darkness to light, and [from] the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:

That Christ should suffer, [and]that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.

I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.

The Book of Mormon prophecies about this time.

Hel. 13: 37 Behold, we are surrounded by demons, yea, we are encircled about by the angels of him who hath sought to destroy our souls.Behold, our iniquities are great. O Lord, canst thou not turn away thine anger from us? And this shall be your language in those days.

When the Lord steps out, he does so unambiguously, unlike Paul. The Lord and the Law change not. Paul seems to change the laws requirements and the seasons and the days, but he is trying to grasp the Liberty of the Spirit in God as he perceived It in Jesus Christ. And indeed he did understand, but, and it is almost imperceptible, he tries to lead the Lord at times, rather than letting the Law and the Testimony speak aright and for Itself, he is the first and often worthy practitioner of "priestcraft." But, insomuch as he tries to do his own will and not God's he is tresspassing and leading astray...Again, a remarkably clever man was/is Paul, and a chosen/anointed vessel and teacher/apostle.

 

But why?

Rom 7:24-25a O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Not even Jesus could save himself, but because he did what he did, God can and will save any and all who are willing through Jesus.

There is obvious advantage for someone who is circumsized for another instance, and that is Law that will never change. Heathen remain uncircumsized. A "circumcision of heart" is possible, but then any who really had a change of heart would desire to fulfill every last iota of the Law and to be found Perfect in Christ, which is to return to Israel for teaching of Moses and the Jews, His Chosen, and not perfunctorily as a Mormon (fraudulent Jew), yet as a Latter-day Saint who knows of some valid additions to the Law and Testimony that come of the need for baptism into the Christ which is the same as being adopted into the House of Abraham and Kingdom of David and Solomon, and the Days of the Reign of Messiah.

The change in the Law, if it can even be said to be a change is this, and it was not intended to create a new Church nor the superstitious tyranny of a Popery. God had annulled His marriage and sent His Bride packing, and established a New Covenant with the entire World/Creation in a Church built without hands. The Law, Testimony, Seasons and Times remain the Same forever. Salvation is still of the Jews. The Gentile Church is not God's Church, but the Gentiles may be among God's People. How they prove their devotion to God is not in arranging things according to their own spirits, but in coming to His chosen for direction and understanding.

Consider what Jesus taught:

Jhn 4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

Mat 5:17-20 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

and from the Book of Mormon we learn:

 

2 Nephi 29 Behold, there shall be many—at that day when I shall proceed to do a marvelous work among them, that I may remember my covenants which I have made unto the children of men, that I may set my hand again the second time to recover my people, which are of the house of Israel;

And also, that I may remember the promises which I have made unto thee, Nephi, and also unto thy father, that I would remember your seed; and that the words of your seed should proceed forth out of my mouth unto your seed; and my words shall hiss forth unto the ends of the earth, for a standard unto my people, which are of the house of Israel;

And because my words shall hiss forth—many of the Gentiles shall say: A Bible! A Bible! We have got a Bible, and there cannot be any more Bible.

But thus saith the Lord God: O fools, they shall have a Bible; and it shall proceed forth from the Jews, mine ancient covenant people.

And what thank they the Jews for the Bible which they receive from them? Yea, what do the Gentiles mean?

Do they remember the travails, and the labors, and the pains of the Jews, and their diligence unto me, in bringing forth salvation unto the Gentiles?

O ye Gentiles,have ye remembered the Jews, mine ancient covenant people? Nay; but ye have cursed them, and have hated them, and have not sought to recover them.

But I will return all these things upon your own heads; for I the Lord have not forgotten my people.

Thou fool, that shall say: A Bible, we have got a Bible, and we need no more Bible. Have ye obtained a Bible save it were by the Jews?

Know ye not that there are more nations than one? Know ye not that I, the Lord your God, have created all men, and that I remember those who are upon the isles of the sea; and that I rule in the heavens above and in the earth beneath; and I bring forth my word unto the children of men, yea, even upon all the nations of the earth?

Wherefore murmur ye, because that ye shall receive more of my word? Know ye not that the testimony of two nations is a witness unto you that I am God, that I remember one nation like unto another?

Wherefore, I speak the same words unto one nation like unto another. And when the two nations shall run together the testimony of the two nationsshall run together also.

And I do this that I may prove unto many that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and that I speak forth my words according to mine own pleasure. And because that I have spoken one word ye need not suppose that I cannot speak another; for my work is not yet finished; neither shall it be until the end of man, neither from that time henceforth and forever.

Wherefore, because that ye have a Bible ye need not suppose that it contains all my words; neither need ye suppose that I have not caused more to be written.

For I command all men, both in the east and in the west, and in the north, and in the south, and in the islands of the sea, that they shall write the words which I speak unto them; for out of the books which shall be written I will judge the world, every man according to their works, according to that which is written.

For behold, I shall speak unto the Jews and they shall write it; and I shall also speak unto the Nephites and they shall write it; and I shall also speak unto the other tribes of the house of Israel, which I have led away, and they shall write it; and I shall also speak unto all nations of the earth and they shall write it.

And it shall come to pass that the Jews shall have the words of the Nephites, and the Nephites shall have the words of the Jews; and the Nephites and the Jews shall have the words of the lost tribes of Israel; and the lost tribes of Israel shall have the words of the Nephites and the Jews.

And it shall come to pass that my people, which are of the house of Israel, shall be gathered home unto the lands of their possessions; and my word also shall be gathered in one.

And I will show unto them that fight against my word and against my people, who are of the house of Israel, that I am God, and that I covenanted with Abraham that I would remember his seed forever.

 

The Father and Founder of Judaism is Jesus Christ. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit of Christianity is The Christ. The "Mormon" of Mormonism is not the Christ, yet Christ hath chosen the "Mormon," LDS Church for the Latter-days. The Book of Mormon is of Ephraim, or Nephi and he loves the Lord. Why it is called of "Mormon," names change while spirits and entities remain the same.

Much like Christians got the name "Christians," "the nickname Mormon was created by people who were not members of the Church to refer to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The name comes from the sacred book of scripture compiled by the ancient prophet Mormon and entitled the Book of Mormon. The name given by the Lord by which members of the Church are to be known is "Saints." The correct name of the Church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."

Or so the story goes according to the Church. I feel, some of the Brethren probably accepted the nickname more readily, because they can be a very proud, militant people, and proud of their military general, rather than their Christ.

"A Nephite prophet, military general, and record keeper in the Book of Mormon. Mormon lived about A.D. 311-385. He was a military leader for most of his life, beginning at age fifteen."

He was a man of War, unlike the Christ. Yet in what the LORD made him to be, he was faithful to his calling, and thus made clean and part of the Body, Christ.

Will all or any be faithful to the calling? Some have and because of circumstance, situation or location and the many trappings and demands of the world Unity and Ingathering has been difficult to perform nevermind understand and this I believeis His Will. The thing that is not His Will is the fighting that will take place among the tribes, even in this our Latter-days. It's Endurance Time. Last one in is a rotten egg? Behold, He is the First and the Last, the Alpha and the Omega. Do not move to "Planet Wait Your Turn," inhabit instead the Community of "After You." The rotten eggs are those dividing Him up amongst themselves rather than seeking Unity by coming to His Chosen and working together. The chasm can grow deep and wide.

What Paul knew and realized because of his own transgressions and state of existence and what he owed God for His inexplicable mercy and Grace is this, you're going to need a David to play a harp for you...Tender Mercy. Which is what was so beautiful about Paul and so abominable about Saul. Saul corrupted David and then sought to kill him, God saved David and created Paul. One man wanted to be king, the other wanted God to be King. Yet the corrupter in everyman is always lying wait to betray. Because as good and right as any can become, all fall short. And that is when most no longer find the strength to care.

As Joseph was willing and able to do but unwilling to love, so Paul was willing to love but unable to do, it was all the Lord's doing with Paul. He never would have overcome without God.

Now the Lord saith, "why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" But if you do and hate the Lord, you're not doing at all. Thus, the Brit Hadashah embraced all men and abandoned only the haughty priesthood which could no longer love the LORD aright, as a little child, with complete abandon.

Pro 21:2 Every way of a man [is] right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.

The LORD saved the unworthy while the Righteous worked to do the impossible or unlawful without Him...Because obeying the Law while you hate the Lawgiver, is not Love at all. Mercy claimeth the pentitent sinner. Righteousness will not save the righteous if he hate God or brother.

Complete heathen and strangers to the Law and Way embraced both when the Love and Grace of the Lord appeared, while Church Leaders all worked to ensare the very Entity that granted them Authority! And so it has been with every man whoever started a church, synagogue or priesthood. Once that kind of Power is established it must be incredibly hard to allow The Almighty in and it is largely because the Lord has nothing to do with Churches, Religions and Organizations, and especially places of worship, buildings, synagogues, temples, structures, etc...though if any wish to build he must build lawfully and as commanded, as Moses did, and even then, if it's just a facade to you, it's just a facade to Him...But if ye love Him and erect a Sukkot every year in His Honor, then that Sukkot, though made of old, cherished linen and branches from well beloved trees, is the most Cherished Work in His Eyes and Estimation, while rock solid foundations built to withstand earthquakes may be meaningless to Him. Yes, there is the Wisdom revealed in Christ that to build upon a solid, well-planned and thought out foundation is what God expects, but if you're building for you and not He, then you may as well be living in a Teepee, and if you live in a Teepee and love God with all your heart that Teepee will withstand all the "natural disasters" in the world because God will calm the storm around it that destroys your enemies works.

Jhn 4:21,23-24 Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the trueworshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.
