God and Jesus died

I said to this: “Do you know and understand that Jesus is GOD in the Flesh?”

I don´t know, but I have believed GOD dwelt in the temple-body of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I believed GOD chose Him and He used His Son to speak to His chosen, as long as He was on earth doing His Father´s will.

I believed also that, when was at His cross, the Father "died" when He left Jesus body, when leaving Him alone to die, because Jesus also died as the atonement for human sins, but God "died" first, when His Holy Spirit left Jesus to die on the cross.

John 3:16 for God did so love the world, that His Son--the only begotten --He gave, that every one who is believing in Him may not perish, but may have life age-during.

Mat 27:46 At about three o'clock Jesus cried out with a loud shout, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why did you abandon me?" (Not quoting solely Psalm 22)

(Here is where -literally- the Holy Spirit of the Almighty left alone His Son, to die)

Mat 27:50 Jesus again gave a loud cry and breathed his last.

Mat 27:51 Then the curtain hanging in the Temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split apart,

Mat 27:52 the graves broke open, and many of God's people who had died were raised to life.

P.S.

He did much more I could imagine or understand.

He "died" as GOD leaving His own Son, on earth alone.

He "died" while witnessing His Son dying in the flesh (just to PROVE His love is conditionally that real).

He "died" when He knew what He had to do to prove us He deserves our all, and purposely inspired the Scriptures to "tell" us what He knew, what He would do during ages, untill that day He became an impersonated "man" in the temple-body of His own Son.

He "died" each time He fulfilled what He did to reach us, the unbelievers.

There are too many things I haven´t imagined I could understand what His love is, as being the Immanuel with us and within us.



A.T.

Secular Hedonism.

After reading this: "Psa_73:3 For I was envious of the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. " I have thought that I know what that means.

Yesterday I spoke to my elder brother and mentioned several things I bypassed or he bypassed.

I see his system of beliefs is so around things he thinks he missed and around those he is aware he really regrets not having...

I saw, to myself, that a faith-based society clumsily set on wrong values would cause ME troubles (also lacks) to live a faith that gives me nothing in turn and, instead, keeps on withholding things I think I need, however I know not all things are needed to live.

I can live without a car, but the society I´m living in pushes me to believe a car is "essential" to be a desired person, to be "deeply" loved or admired (even sought as a singled person) (probably to be a dateable one).

Those wrong values I let to leak inside my beliefs would benefit my faith and, on the contrary, would lead me to disbelieve what I could be saying...

My faith serves me for nothing when I said: "The things I want to feel, the pleasures I want to enjoy, my religion -mingled with my value system- tells me not to seek this or these". So, in that case, that faith works against those things I considered important, desirable and enjoyable to seek and, a faith like that, giving me nothing real I can hold, pulls me away and far from the place I want to be.

The things I want to enjoy, far away from those whom I once said "I love you", are felt contrary to my aims, my dreams and human needs and values.

Time and things have shown me they loved me not. We have had a limited life for nothing, embraced in misery and religious tiny things that cared for nothing and those that really mattered were to spare me from suffering when I wanted to enjoy the mundanity of earthly life, so abundantly that these would never please.

Jesus was aware of those who He met teasing people around with man-made rules (Matt 23:4 They make strict rules that are hard for people to obey. They try to force others to obey all their rules. But they themselves will not try to follow any of those rules. ).

Pharisees so loved to control other people´s needs and their visceral longs ( Matt 19:10 ) and those were unwilling to set limits their own secular hedonism. So, materialistic talking, poverty or wealth have an important role in all religious systems (even in the way each approaches to sex). The more one of these three is considered above the other, our views about certain faith or belief will grow or dim, because ALL human nature tends to be hedonist: The more joy or pleasure we have freedom to seek or get, the better that religion could be seen (or sought) to be believed and lived.

Wealth/ poverty is part of the mundane world we were grown in and sex if part of its secular rewards we want to enjoy, particularly if we feel loved the way we think we are.

Uncommitted believers are alike atheists and agnostics: Both can hurt and have hurt believers.

These only seek one thing: Give them what they wanted and see what it feels.

How many times?

How long will you please those who know how to hurt you?

I´ve tried, more than once, to be melt into one person with one who is not that I thought and they also thought I was the person they needed: I wasn´t the one they wanted too!

I have tried to adapt myself to the ones they were, but I knew it was quite wrong: That it wasn´t the yoke it should be best.

Does my hedonism, my goal or needs were the same they had?
No! That should be a miracle, and it´s.

Make them easiest and see what you would get.

The GOD I believe.

For me it is important to say that I see only one GOD and only one Mediator:

1Ti 2:5  For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

Act 4:12  And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

(Heb 9:15,  12:24)

These last days GOD would do His job more individually and personally. Jesus said:

Joh 6:44  No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.

Joh 14:6  Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

The Holy Spirit is God Himself:

Joh 4:24  God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."

The book of Acts teaches us how things were working those days Jesus physically left:

Act 7:55  But he (Stephen), full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.

Act 7:56  And he said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God."

Mat 12:31 "So I tell you, people can be forgiven for every sinful thing they do and for every bad thing they say against God. But anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

I started to believed God and the H.S. is the very only ONE.

Isa 42:8 "I am YAHWEH. That is my name. I will not give my glory to another. I will not let statues take the praise that should be mine.

Gen 6:3 Then the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years."

Ezek 36:27 And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.

Ezek 37:14 And I will put my Spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I am the LORD; I have spoken, and I will do it, declares the LORD."

Joel 2:28-29 "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions...

Mat 12:18 "Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.    (That´s the Lord Jesus).

Act 2:17 "'And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;

Act 2:18 even on my male servants and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.

That´s the GOD I´ve believed!

ONE God and His chosen one, Jesus, the King of Kings. (Rev 19:16, 17:14; 1Ti_6:15)

I wish I were told.

I never planned to be married, neither to be a father (a thing I´m biologically, and not the way I have thought I could be).

I assumed that after you divorced you´ve found too many reason to it or, on the other hand, you ex-mate found enough reasons to be divorced and far from you (and me). It´s failure not acknowledging them where, sometimes, there are more than several guilty parts and, often, these hidden flaws are from either of their families or passed on the children left after separation, too.

Why did the Scripture ask high priests to marry only virgins?

Some of those reasons probably were:

a) They had to work in the temple being absent more than a month  () far from their beds and houses, as long as their duty and service to GOD ended.

b) Probably the Lord wanted them to be relieved from emotional secular worries.

c) Priests were not supposed to be economically rich and, according to the Law, they would be “paid” from what their spiritual service gave them to live on, through God´s provisions (Num 18:23  But the Levites shall do the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity. It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations, and among the people of Israel they shall have no inheritance.).

What would be the character of a woman like that? Do they permited too many freedom their women? Such as visiting their masculine friends their homes and alone?

Culture shaped our present day and its fashions lead us nowhere.

I started to believe that the present day rates of divorce have too much to do with marrying without chastity, either of both sexual genders. If we would pay attention at this, life could be different, I guess.

Lev_21:14  He must not marry a woman who has had sexual relations with any man. He must not marry a prostitute, a divorced woman, or a widow. The high priest must marry a virgin from his own people.

Eze_44:22  The priests must not marry a widow or a divorced woman. No, they must only marry a virgin from the family of Israel or a woman whose dead husband was a priest.

If GOD planned something big like that for those who served Him directly, why don´t we consider it an important information?

I wish I were young to marry one like those God thought for a simple man.
