The best way to get to know God and to understand him, is to ONLY receive it from him! Don't ever allow anyonelse to teach you about God, it would be the most serious mistake you have ever made!

Peace.

In 1Pet. 2:2;" Like newborn babes, long for the pure milk of the word, that by it you may " Grow in Respect to Salvation." This is the desire we should have for the bible, to long for its truth. To desire it, not what people are saying about it. The teachers of today do not Grow in respect to Salvation, they are trying to limit Salvation, not make it grow. Salvation is a growth, its not going to stop, but oh what things I am hearing people say about it.

They limit Gods reach, and take serious pride in doing so. I long for the Salvation of God, not like a greedy selfish baby, I long for it to spread to everyone, not just myself.

The most serious event to happen to belief in God, is when God shared it with humans. But conversely, thats what opened it to being corrupted. You involve humans, you just invite corruption and deception.

And this has ruled Religion on this earth.

Like a domino effect, the fears and egos of humans have molded their view of anything Spiritual. The bible says to trust in God with all your heart and to not lean on your own understanding. We not only lean on our comprehensions of God, we build churchs and doctrines from them. When the mind of a man reflects God, that reflection will be different than any man we can see. When God rules the mind, your talking about a deep impression occuring.

Not spiritual shallow mindedness, but a mind steeped into the fruits of God Spirit, and reflecting that.

Now you can drive your own mind, formulate your own beliefs, but when God drives your mind, he shifts the gears into a definte mold of Salvation. A view that will see his awesome power to save and forgive.

You ever notice how much people bicker over God and the bible? Just look at how quickly we go after each others throats and can't seem to be in unity about Salvation.

Were just not on the same page as God, and we do not know how to get along with each other. And we need to come up off of that. We are not destined to be seperate and away from each other. I know people right now who refuse to speak with me because I believe in the Salvation of All. They think I am foolish, just because I trust in Jesus Power to forgive and draw all humans to his Father.

Anyhow, I want to go into Salvation a little more.

Peace.

I know I may talk about Salvation a bit much, but I think its the Good News this world needs. And as the pressure of sin and Evil times increase on humanity, we are going to need that Good news, not the preversion of it.

Thats part of the problem, a perverted people, receiving a perverted message about Salvation, thats never going to equal to anything but confusion.

Listen, Salvation, or eternal happiness with God, is what this whole thing is about. Salvation is NOT a contest! Its not a battle between Good and Evil. Its not a survival of the fittest program.

So what is it?

Peace.

Salvation is the free Gift of God that has already been given to us all. Thats the gear that the bible has shifted my mind into, the truth about Gods ultimate will for humanity. The very reason we were created.

We were created to Live forever, but only after a physical chemical temporary existence on earth. Why God did it this way, I am not really sure. But if physical life is viewed through physical eyes, then it can only yeild physical results in your thinking. We were not created to always be physical beings, the true destiny of humanity is " Spiritual", that is the dimension God exist in. And its why we cannot comprehend God, because we are physical, were not in their world, we were created to live first in our own. Seperate from God.

This physical universe is nothing short of a giant incubator, and we only exist within it, only our thoughts and beliefs can go one step beyond.

We were not meant to stay in this universe forever, and it was not designed to last forever. Its slowly dying, all matter is not reproducing itself, its filtering out, like it was designed to do.

The true hope for humanity is Spiritual. And the Bible is a window provided for our thoughts to see some of that reality.

Peace.

Salvation can be a mysterious thing to understand, considering all the distortions which have but put out there in our world of information. Notice Ephesians 3:4-5;" When you read you can understand my insight into the Mystery of Christ. Which in other generations was " Not made Known to the Sons of Men."

Now that there is why the world does not understand Salvation, it just has not been " Made Known to us." Oh there are thousands of preachers and teachers filling the airwaves with all kinds of stuff about God, and that stuff, literally all of it, is simply distorted, meaning some of it may be true, but its always mixed with distortion. I think very little of it is simply " Unmixed" or not tainted with the precepts of men who are perhaps honestly seeking the truth. So I can't blame the world for giving birth to Atheist, all kinds of religions, and a world of unbelievers who are sick and tired of religion. I am tired of religion myself, it does not teach the Salvation of all of humanity, which is exactly what we all need.

If you can " Shift your mind toward the Salvation of All", then look into the bible, you will find it all in there. But tradition and " New World Theology", has soaked our minds with far too much interference, and we can only see the damnation of Gods creations, as if thats why God created them, to be doomed, or be a selective part of a precious few.

No, no, God has all of our lives at his concern and Power. And hes going to use that power to Save.

Peace.

1Timothy 4:10 is a favorite verse of mine;" For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have " Fixed our Hope on the Living God", who is " The Savior of ALL mankind", especially of believers." There is much contained within this verse; That the true " Laborers of God" are fixed into the Salvation of all of humanity; That God is the Savior of ALL humans, not just a few; And that God is the Savior of all men--" Especially Believers"--here are two distinct groups that are saved-- All humans--and all believers, neither are excluded.

1John 2:2 repeats this same truth;" And He is the Propitiation for OUR sins ( meaning the believers) and NOT OURS ONLY, but ALSO for the sins of the WHOLE WORLD!" Again Salvation is Universal, it cannot be limited. In 1Tim.2:6 Christ gave himself as a " Ransom for All"--EVERYBODY makes it, and you need to shift the gears in your mind to see this.

The truth be known, the bible is going to be the thing that embarrses us all. We had it, never understood it, and will get rewarded by it. We have tried to kill it, but have not.

Humans are just blind to the most important things in our lives.

Peace.
