How much truth do you believe you have about life?
How much do you think you know about truths in a matter?
Or maybe you only have some truth about something and your still searching and learning?
Then truths can be seen as being consistently built upon for a greater understanding which is life, and life experiences are growing towards more goodness and less negativity. God’s ultimate plan for creations eternal eternity.
Here is a visual;
There is an object floating in the middle of a room. You enter from the middle door and the object you see is a rectangle shaped object.
Your “neighbor” enters the room from a side door and sees the same object, and states the object as being a round circle.
Both are correct in what they see, but have an opposite “view” of what is seen from “their eyes.”
Is either wrong?
2Cor 13:8
For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
Prov 2:4
If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
So Proverbs says take a walk around the room.
Then there is God’s view. God looking into the room from above sees “all”. He sees a long cylindrical round solid tube.
Proverbs 15:3
The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
Job 34:21
For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.
Psalms 118:8
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
How much do you think you actually know if you don’t have all of the information?
How does judgement of your neighbors truths can you justify?
If that is not enough.
Luke 6:41
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Two perspectives working towards salvation we can take from the bible. The first being from the warnings, woes, and fears scriptures, that involve playing on your mind from a defensive position. The world seems to operate more from the negative perspective, therefore these scriptures bear more of an impact on a person. Many times the negativity is channeled through a third party, Satan. The worldly perspective shares the blame with Satan. Satan having the appearance to be stronger than oneself therefore a scapegoat.
Blame as well is laid on Jesus and God thinking they are responsible or somewhat responsible for negative events in which there is no truth. Not taking responsibility for your own creating actions are totally from within yourself. And to what end? The responsibility rests totally upon yourself because you created it.
Mat 18:7
Woe unto the world because of offenses! for it must needs be that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh!
Luke 22:31
And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
1Peter 5:8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
2Co 2:11
Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
The other perspective comes from overcoming these battles through your spiritual self by overcoming the world, and separating oneself from the world and gain salvation through love. It is through this mindset that understanding of how love works through the flesh world but yet be apart from it. Defensive tactics are not needed because of the understanding from the offensive position in a positive goodness loving way.
Eph 6:13-17
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Your overcoming the world towards salvation can be through love;
Mar 12:30-31
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
God does not change his mind about you for he is not uncertain of Himself. What he knows can be known because he does not know only for himself.
He created you for himself but gave you the power to create for yourself so you could be like him. That is why your will is holy.
2Ti 1:6-7
Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Can anything exceed the love of God? Can anything then exceed your will? Nothing can reach you from beyond it because being in God, you encompass everything. Believe this and you will realize how much is up to you.
God will never decide against you or he would be deciding against himself.
God created every mind by communicating His mind to it, thus establishing it forever as a channel for the reception of His mind and will.
Php 2:2
Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
1Co 2:16
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
The will for humankind to create was given by God who was expressing the same will through creation. Since creative ability rests in the mind, everything that we create is a matter of our will. It is also to be said that whatever we create is reality in our own sight, but not necessarily in the sight of God.
The term salvation does not apply to the soul which is not in danger and does not need salvaged. Salvation is nothing more than right-mindedness.
Mat 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Salvation is turning your ways of living over to a life living the words of Christ. At the moment of your transition, you become perfect. Becoming perfect is a lifestyle and an individual decisions process according to one’s conscious. Simply stating you are living a life from love and goodness from your renewing of your mind through Christ.
Gal 3:2-3 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
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.
Perfection according to the original Greek Biblical text is not an act of performing something to flawlessness. Look at the original Greek text word for perfect. Perfect in the Greek: τέλειος From G5056; complete (in various applications of labor growth mental and moral character etc.); neuter (as noun with G3588) completeness: – of full age man perfect. G5056 τέλος From a primary word τέλλωtellō (to set out for a definite point or goal); properly the point aimed at as a limit, that is, (by implication) the conclusion of an act or state (termination [literally, figuratively or indefinitely], result [immediate, ultimate or prophetic], purpose); specifically an impost or levy (as paid). Compare G5411. G5411 φόρος From G5342; a load (as borne), that is, (figuratively) a tax (properly an individual assessment on persons or property.
“Perfect” should be looked at as an individual personal assessment by God because of your new state of “renewed” completeness. This does not mean you bowled a perfect 300 game or got a hole in one, or flawlessly built something.
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.
See Also; Mat 19:21, Luke 6:40, John 17:23, 1Co 1:10, 1Co 2:6, Col 1:28, Col 4:12, 2Ti 3:17, Php 3:15, James 1:4, Heb 10:14, Heb 13:21, James 1:4, James 3:2, 1Pe 5:10, 1Jn 4:12, 1Jn 4:17-18
Perfection is something being done that is individually assessed by God in accordance to your unique conscience which is who you are. This makes perfect sense since we can do NOTHING from our own. (John 15:5)
The Bible is written in such a way that some people feel they cannot achieve the standard set in scripture but fail to realize all that is needed is to avoid evils. Understanding that life is through Christ and the Word being God, love, and life, wanting to live free of “missing the mark” and press toward the mark “for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus”. (Phi 3:14)
What Can You Do?
John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
John 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. (Also see; John 5:30, John 8:28)
Your true self is your soul-spirit. In your creation, the Word was instilled into you so you know goodness. Born into the flesh, you now have the option to choose how you want to live.
If you can do nothing of yourself, then from your soul-spirit, what can you do?
The flesh gives your soul-spirit the option to choose how you want to live and even at that, at some point in your eternal life, your eternal soul will come (back) to understand and live that life we were created to live for the pleasure of God in His Will.
How can you take all the verses related to promises, mercy, grace, love, eternal life, and salvation, to think that there will be one lost soul? God called all His Creation good. According to Romans 14:11, “For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God”.
Creation was not created for failure but for the pleasure of God’s will. He has never left you and nothing about Him has changed in you. You are the one to create what God did not create.
Eph 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, (see also; Eph 1:9, Eph 1:11, Php 2:13, 2Th 1:11)
The word “hell” is mentioned in the New Testament 23 times. Heaven is mentioned over 230 times in the New Testament.
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. H1516 גַּי גַּיְא Probably (by transmutation) from the same root as H1466 (abbreviated); a gorge (from its lofty sides; hence narrow, but not a gully or winter torrent): – valley.
We can see from the definition of hell is in reference to a physical location on earth, or a state of being in reference to an earthly location. The scripture refers to the “body” being cast into hell, not the soul or spirit.
The verses with hell (G1067) are; (Mat 5:22, Mat 5:29-30, Mat 18:19, Mat 23:33, Mark 9:43, Mark 9:45, Mark 9:47, Luke 12:15, James 3:6)
The next definition of hell is G86.
Luke 16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
Hell in the Greek (G86);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.
Hell in these verses have the meaning of hell being unseen place, or state of departed souls. Hell as well as heaven is a state of being. How can you have a physical location outside of space?
The verses with Hell (G86) are; (Mat 11:23, Mat 16:18, Luke 10:15, Luke 16:23, Acts 2:27, Acts 2:31, Rev 6:8, Rev 20:13-14)
There is only one verse with Hell (G5020);
2Peter 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
Hell in the Greek (G5020); G5020 ταρταρόω From ΤάρταροςTartaros̄ (the deepest abyss of Hades); to incarcerate in eternal torment: – cast down to hell.
Heaven in the New Testament;
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.
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). G3735 ὄρος Probably a from an obsolete word ὄρωorō (to rise or “rear”; perhaps akin to G142; compare G3733); a mountain (as lifting itself above the plain). 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.
Hell is in reference to the flesh, a flesh location, whereas, heaven is in reference to a “spiritual” location.
The word everlasting is found in 26 verses and the Greek definition is;
G166 αἰώνιος From G165; perpetual (also used of past time, or past and future as well): – eternal, for ever, everlasting, world (began). G165 αἰών From the same as G104; properly an age; by extension perpetuity (also past); by implication the world; specifically (Jewish) a Messianic period (present or future): (beginning of the, while the) world (began, without end). Compare G5550 χρόνος Of uncertain derivation; a space of time (in genitive case, and thus properly distinguished from G2540, which designates a fixed or special occasion; and from G165, which denotes a particular period) or interval; by extension an individual opportunity; by implication delay.
In this definition we see that “everlasting” in the 26 verses is in reference to the world, and not of anything related outside of time.
1Ti 4:8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
Eph 1:4-9 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
Predestinated in the Greek Text;G4309 προορίζω From G4253 and G3724; to limit in advance, that is, (figuratively) predetermine: – determine before, ordain, predestinate. G3724ὁρίζω From G3725; to mark out or bound (“horizon”), that is, (figuratively) to appoint, decree, specify: – declare, determine, limit, ordain.
Eph 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: Pre
Rom 8:28-30 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
Rom 11:2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
Prior to the flesh, when God created your soul, He knew you. We are all predestinated souls, meaning He knows your whole eternity before you were created. This does not mean God laid out your life for you.
If God has not closed your eyes, hardened your heart, or you have not turned your life over to God and goodness, you live in death. Because of love, grace, mercy, and humankind was created for His purpose and His pleasure, time is not a factor, and salvation is a promise for all.
Jesus came to fulfill the law and to become the example of how humankind should think and act. Doing so, a soul becomes perfect just as scriptures state.
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. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
Mat 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
(See Also; Luke 6:40, 2Co 7:1, 2Co 13:11, Php 3:12-15, Col 1:28, Col 4:12, James 1:4) For Be Ye Perfect.
Are we walking “even as he walked?”
*******************
John 5:19-20 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
John 5:30-31 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
(See Also; John 8:28, John 14:10)
Now Christ states he can do nothing from himself. The same applies to humankind as scriptures state.
********************
Christ himself admitted that there is only one good, God.
Mat 19:16-17 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 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.
Mark 10:18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
Jesus experienced life as a man and lived as a man experiencing life as a flesh soul.
********************
This gets more interesting. Did Jesus Sin?
Mat 21:12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, (See Also; Mark 11:15, Luke 19:45-46, John 2:14-17)
Was Christ any different from humankind other then the fulfilling of the law, the salvation through our Lord on the cross, as well as teaching to His souls? His life on earth is to show by example and teach how humankind is to think and live.
********************
Mat 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
(See Also; Mark 15:34)
When we look at the Greek text for forsaken;
Foresaken; G1459 ἐγκαταλείπω From G1722 and G2641; to leave behind in some place, that is, (in a good sense) let remain over, or (in a bad one) to desert.
Jesus in the flesh thinking that his father is leaving him behind or being forsaken? Just as it is for humankind, it is the same for Christ. Think about it. It most likely rings a bell.
If Jesus had full knowledge, why would he think God had forsaken him? Let us assume for the moment that whatever “mind blockage” takes place in the birth of the flesh, an “interference” if you will, is obivous. Limited access to your created spiritual self where the Word was instilled in your spirit at creation.
********************
Luke 22:39-44 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
An angel appeared unto Christ to strengthen him? Christ in agony? Prayed more earnestly? Why?
Interesting the “take away this cup from me” part of the verse. When we look at these next two verses to try to understand what Jesus is really saying.
Mark 10:38-40 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized: But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.
Mark 14:36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.
What is Jesus saying in Mark and wanting removed by God……His baptism?
********************
Humankind is in the same realm of our Lord.
Mat 21:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
“Be thou removed” in the Greek;
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.
Expiate is to make amends or atone for a wrong you or someone else has committed.
The analogy is in the mountain being the amount of evil-sin that humankind seems to be an overwhelming negativity, but yet through the power of faith, no amount of evil-sin or to any degree of evil-sin can overcome goodness. Humankind has the power through Christ to overcome and remove all evils-sins by faith.
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.
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 mindand 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 yoube 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.
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-sinsare “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.
