Understanding Leaven Bread

Mat 13:33  Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. 

(See also; Luke 13:21)

1Co 5:6-8  Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 

English definition for leaven;

Leaven is a substance that causes fermentation and expansion of dough or batter that is an element that produces and altering or transforming influence. A chemical breakdown.

Leaven from the Greek;

G2219 ζύμη Probably from G2204; ferment (as if boiling up): – leaven. G2204 ζέω A primary verb; to be hot (boil, of liquids; or glow, of solids), that is, (figuratively) be fervid (earnest): – be fervent.

John 6:32-35  Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. 

That bread is our Lord Jesus Christ.

Mat 6:11  Give us this day our daily bread.

“A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump,” is to rise by way of following truths, love, eliminating repetitive evils as leaven is “like” the kingdom of heaven and heaven is the balance of goodnesses and shuns evils according to how a soul chooses to live.

“Purge out the old leaven,” meaning a soul should not be complacent-stagnent in their growth in their relationship with God. Love, faith, trust, understanding, wisdom, knowledge, and obedience.

Gal 5:9  A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. (See Also; Luke 13:21)

“Till the whole was leavened,” (The kingdom of heaven being complete within a soul.)

Mat 16:5-12  And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread. Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread? Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. 

Mat 5:20  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. 

Scribes and Pharisees in the Greek; Scribes being writers, and interestingly Pharisees being separatists, exclusively religious, literally to disperse or wound.

Bread in the Greek;

G740 ἄρτος From G142; bread (as raised) or a loaf: – (shew-) bread, loaf. G142 αἴρω A primary verb; to lift; by implication to take up or away; figuratively to raise (the voice), keep in suspense (the mind); specifically to sail away (that is, weigh anchor); by Hebraism (compare [H5375]) to expiate sin.

To expiate sin meaning to atone-make reparations for guilt or sin. In this case, Jesus being the bread is the power of taking away the sins of the world.

Summarizing;
The kingdom of heaven being “like leaven” can be understood as being the “process” leading to a heavenly life and that life is the “bread” Jesus Christ as He works through you in accordance to your loves and progression becoming complete within the kingdom.

One Is Not The Loneliest Number

One Breath, None Good But One, All May Be One;

Ecc 3:19  For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. 

None Good But One;

Mat 19:17  And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 

All May Be One;

John 17:21-24  That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. 

Like Minded, One Accord, Same Mind, One Mind;

Php 2:2  Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 

Likeminded;

Rom 15:5  Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: 

Same Mind;

Rom 12:16  Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

Rom 13:8  Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. 

One Mind;

Rom 15:6  That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. (See Also 2Cor 13:11, 1Peter 3:8)

One Body, Members One Of Another, One Flesh, One Spirit, One Bread, One Body;

Rom 12:4-5  For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. 

One Flesh;

Gen 2:24  Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. (See Also Mat 19:5-6)

One Spirit, One Bread, One Body;

1Co 6:17  But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 

1Co 10:17  For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. 

1Co 12:12-20  For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many. If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. And if they were all one member, where were the body? But now are they many members, yet but one body. 

Being Celestial is One; One Word, One Sanctification, Subject to One Another, One Love, One Heart, One Way

1Co 15:40  There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. 

One Word;

Gal 5:14  For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 

One Sanctification;

Heb 2:11  For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

Subject To One Another;

1Peter 5:5  Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

One Love;

John 4:7  Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

1Jn 4:11  Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 

1Jn 4:12  No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. 

One Heart, One Way;

Jer 32:38-39  And they shall be my people, and I will be their God: And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:

Summarizing;

From one breath, From the only one that is good, so that all may be one; Humankind is like minded with one mind, one accord.

Humankind is of one body, one flesh, being members of one another with one spirit, one bread, and one body.

Being celestial, subject to one another, by one way, one sanctification, one heart, one love, one word.

Separation is an individual choice. God has not changed.

Missing The Mark

Because you learn from your mistakes, or maybe not, why would one think that God wants to punish you for it?

John 5:14  Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. 

Sin definition in the Greek; G264 ἁμαρτάνω Perhaps from G1 (as a negative particle) and the base of G3313; properly to miss the mark (and so not share in the prize), that is, (figuratively) to err, especially (morally) to sin: – for your faults, offend, sin, trespass.

2Co 12:9  And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

JESUS said; HIS strength is made perfect from HIS weakness! Note; Verse 12A only are the red letters of Jesus.

Therefore;

John 8:15  Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

John 8:11  She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

1Co 11:31  For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

2Co 13:9  For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.

John 12:47  And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

The key word or take-away from this is in that sin, evil, error, mistakes, however you want to frame it, repetitive errs-sins are “believe not” and is the difference in where a soul is at in perfection.

1John 2:5  But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

“Search Out A Matter”

Pro 25:2  It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. 

1Co 2:6-7  Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

Negativity;

Luke 6:27-28  But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.

Isn’t it enough to go through events and experiences that in whatever way a negativity has an affect on you? So you choose continue to drag the negativity that is now from the past into your present and future? To what end is reliving the past? How were you directly affected, and how should you really view the situation? What worldly events or decisions have truly had a negative impact in your world that you have to personally live it in your world?

Ego;

Luke 9:23  And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

If we were taught about the ego and grow up understanding that ego takes what comes from the past and sets a precedent for the present and future. How can your know the truths? Our ego presents itself as a guide into tomorrow, but how accurate is it? Isn’t that a trust and faith issue with God? We assume we are correct in these feelings when we could be totally wrong, and most likely are wrong. Shouldn’t we have an open mind with trust and faith?

Understanding;

2Ti 2:7  Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

The church has not taught its flock simple truths that are well documented in the Word. (Aside from salvation and baptism).

Pro 2:3-7  Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

Every soul has his/her personal view seeing through their own consciousness; to know and understand each soul is living from where they are at in their spiritual growth and personal understanding. No two souls are alike and God works within each individual in accordance to ones’ own spirit.

Judgement and Forgiveness;

Luke 6:37  Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

If your controlling your negativity, controlling your ego, forgiveness shouldn’t be an issue in your life because you have understanding.

Trust;

2Co 1:9  But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead: 

Luke 12:7  But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Faith;

Luke 12:28  If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?

John 5:24  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

How is your faith and trust in the Lord?

Separation;

Rom 8:35  Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 

Acts 4:32  And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

1Co 12:12-14  For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many. 

Gal 6:2-3  Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.  For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

Also See; Rom 12:4-5, Rom 15:6-7, Gal 3:28, Eph 2:19-22, Eph 3:6, Eph 4:4, Eph 4:25, Eph 5:30, 1Co 6:17, 1Co 12:12, 1Co 12:18-26, 1Co 15:39-40, Col 1:18, Col 3:15 Php 2:2, Php 1:27, Php 3:13, Titus 3:5,

Interesting even back then it was known that outside of this world the universe-creation is all connected and in this world the connection in evil is Adam and Eve. The connection of salvation is Jesus. Interesting to see how the representation of the beginning of sin and in the same way from the spiritual aspect. Satan in the Garden being a representation of evil.

Col 1:26  Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:

Rom 12:2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

1Co 3:19  For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

Heaven-Paradise-Kingdom-Eden

Paradise

Luke 23:43  And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. 

2Co 12:1-4  It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. 

Rev 2:7  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. 

Paradise in the Greek (all 3 verses);

G3857 παράδεισος Of Oriental origin (compare [H6508]); a park, that is, (specifically) an Eden (place of future happiness, “paradise”): – paradise.

Note how paradise in Luke 23:43, Jesus refers to paradise being the park-Eden-future happiness as a location.

Heaven

Mat 6:20-21  But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 

Treasures in heaven (present tense) within your heart, in this flesh life.

Heaven in the Greek;

G3772 οὐρανός Perhaps from the same as G3735 (through the idea of elevation); the sky; by extension heaven (as the abode of God); by implication happiness, power, eternity; specifically the Gospel (Christianity).

Here we have a view of Heaven not as a physical location but as Christ said in Luke that paradise being the location of Eden. Apparently paradise is not heaven? Treasures in heaven are in your heart and that is the location of heaven. Not a physical location.

Eden

Eze 28:13  Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. 

Eden in the Hebrew in this verse;

H5731 עֵדֶן The same as H5730 (masculine); Eden, the region of Adam’s home: – Eden.

This verse refers to the spirit-souls that God has created prior to forming into the flesh.

2Kings 19:12  Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed; as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which were in Thelasar? 

Eden in this verse;

H5729 עֶדֶן From H5727; pleasure; Eden, a place in Mesopotamia: – Eden. H5727 עָדַן A primitive root; to be soft or pleasant; figuratively and reflexively to live voluptuously:

Eden in this definition is found also in; (Isa 37:12, Eze 27:23) simply being a location In Mesopotamia.

Kingdom

Mat 4:17  From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 

Kingdom from the Greek is;

G932 βασιλεία From G935; properly royalty, that is, (abstractly) rule, or (concretely) a realm (literally or figuratively): – kingdom, + reign. G935 βασιλεύς Probably from G939 (through the notion of a foundation of power); a sovereign (abstractly, relatively or figuratively): – king.

The “kingdom within” is the “power” of God-Christ within a soul.

1Co 3:16-17 states;

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. 

Hell

Mat 5:29-30  And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. 

Hell in the Greek;

G1067 γέεννα Of Hebrew origin ([H1516] and [H2011]); valley of (the son of) Hinnom; gehenna (or Ge-Hinnom), a valley of Jerusalem, used (figuratively) as a name for the place (or state) of everlasting punishment: – hell.

And IF it were even possible, the “state” of everlasting punishment and casting into hell for eternity……NOT. This hell is in reference to a physical location and not a “realm or state.” Everlasting is the “state” a soul is in their current flesh life’s awareness.

Mat 16:18  And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Hell in the Greek;

G86 ᾅδης From G1 (as a negative particle) and G1492; properly unseen, that is, “Hades” or the place (state) of departed souls: – grave, hell. G1492 εἴδω A primary verb; used only in certain past tenses, the others being borrowed from the equivalent, G3700 and G3708; properly to see (literally or figuratively); by implication (in the perfect only) to know.

Here we have Peter stating he will build his church and those souls in their “state” of hell will not destroy the true church.
