The meaning of Truth is an age old question offered by the world of men and remains undefined to the satisfaction of masses as though there is no standard available, however, the standard is available to all who remain unblinded and able to hear and distinguish between the Truth and the lie; those willing to accept the standard that was established from the beginning of mankind’s existence in the world ♡
The Truth is not hidden from those who choose to believe God to be the Creator of all that exist; both seen and unseen by the perception that God has given to His Creation of His active role in maintaining and preserving His Creation according to His Will, because God has chosen to reveal Himself through His Word and the Animating Power of His Spirit ♡
The option is given to all of God’s Creation to decide to believe God or not; to live in subjection to the Laws that preserve harmony with His Will or exist in opposition to the Expressed Will of God; for mankind the right to choose is given, with one exception; none have the right not to choose ♡
The following is in response to the question which was presented to me, when you say the Truth what are you talking about? I will take the time to give the context in which the question was asked, as context is always important ♡
I had commented on a post on Facebook made by a classmate which I will refer to as C1 and it brought about a question from another classmate who I will refer to as C2♡
C1: “Make love no not war”
Ellisited my response: C1, you sound like an old hippie and they came close to the mind of Christ; they were close because they lacked a full un understanding of the rules of true Love and without that understanding all fall sh short of the Glory of God ♡♡♡
I am not finding fault; they did the best they could in the dark times of opinion; however, it is being given once again the opportunity for Enlightenment, the indwelling Light of Truth and all who seek and find it will come to the Gathering of Kindred Spirits that I speak of, just sayin’ because it’s true ♡♡♡
It is a waste of time to argue with the modern day pharisees of the world who speak condescendingly to those who seek the Light, while they use the Old Testament to justify the riches promised by the preachers of the prosperity gospel; which is opposed to Gospel of the Christ♡♡♡
They reject the New Covenant that the Word of Truth calls men to, while they reject God’s desire for His Creation, they are blind leaders of the blind on the path to destruction and only the Truth which they reject can save them, just sayin’ because it’s true ♡♡♡
So we must focus our efforts on becoming fully enlightened by the Truth and abandoning all opinions, so that we become mature examples of what it means to be children of God; those who serve Him in Spirit and Truth according to the example that the Christ has shown, the Word of God revealed in Him, just sayin’ because it’s true ♡♡♡
In Sincere Love, Michael
C1, gave me a thumbs up, to which I responded: Thanks C1, I’m doing my best to serve♡♡♡ In the debate between C1 and C2, C2 commented to me; Michael A. Neel, I’m curious, when you say the Truth what are you talking about? I responded with some difficulties explained as follows: C2, apparently the rulers of Facebook prefer that you not receive my answer to your question, I have begun my response three times and each time I experienced a auto reset not initiated by me which forced me to begin again, so I will take a different approach, bear with me and you will have my response ♡♡♡
I shall begin this the 25th day of November in the year Two Thousand Twenty One @ 13:15, after a short pause♡♡♡
@13:52 I, as a called, prepared, and chosen to serve, Pastor and Teacher (a job description not a title: a description of my purpose in the Body of Christ, one of many members all of equal importance), I am encouraged by the curiosity of those who sincerely seek to know the Truth ♡ Nicodemus, a man steeped in the religion of his people, a pharisee, came to the Christ whose given name was Jesus, out of curiosity because of things he had heard about Him ♡ As a result, he exchanged the opinions of his religion for Faith in the Truth, that Light that came into the world to enlighten all of mankind willing and prepared to receive Him, just sayin’ because it’s true ♡♡♡
In response to the question asked of me, when I say the Truth, what am I talking about? I will begin by stating that God is the source of all Truth and the god of the world is the source of all that opposes the Truth, which is the lie and opinion is the instrument that obscures the lie, rendering it palatable to all who remain ignorant of the Truth♡ For those who have been deceived into believing that their peculiar religion, by whatever men decide to identify themselves with, is sufficient protection against the god of the world, the deceiver of mankind; in the end must come to realize that they were the victim of their own nativity because they failed to seek and receive the Truth witnessed to and revealed through Christ, the Word of God, just sayin’ because it’s true ♡
As God is the source of Truth to all who come to Faith, God has chosen to reveal Himself in three aspects, the Father who speaks, the Word which is spoken and the Spirit of Truth which animates, gives Life to all that receive it and in relation to mankind He directs the words they speak and the actions they undertake to act righteously in accordance with God’s Will in spite of the influences of the world, just sayin’ because it’s true ♡♡♡
So God is the Creator of all that is seen and unseen by the perception that God gives individuals among mankind in order to perceive Truth; for God is Truth, the Word is Truth and the Word is Spirit and God is One and is in perfect harmony in every aspect, just sayin’ because it’s true ♡
To be in harmony with God, by willingly being in subjection to the Christ, the Word of God; is to be delivered from the confusion created by the god of the world and those confused who remain subject to him in the world, just sayin’ because it’s true ♡♡♡
(KJV) It is written that Jesus said when tempted by the devil, “man shall not live by bread alone(the physical loaf of bread), but by ever every Word that proceeds out of the Mouth of God(the Spiritual Bread that came from the Father, down from Heaven, the Christ, the Bread of Life). As Jesus proclaimed, “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 “. And again He said, “I am the Bread of Life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst”, just sayin’ because it’s true♡♡♡
Again it is written: “All scripture is given by inspiration of God (God breathed), and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works”. Again, “Moreover I will endeavor that ye may be able after my decease to have these things in remembrance. For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His Majesty. For He received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to Him from the Excellent Glory, this is My Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him. And this Voice which came from Heaven we heard, when we were with Him in the Holy Mount. We have also a more sure Word of Prophecy; and whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a Light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the Day Star arise in your hearts: knowing this first, that no Prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation. For the Prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (animated by the Holy Spirit)”. Just sayin’ because it’s true ♡♡♡ Again it is written: “Little children, it is the Last Time: and ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the Last Time”. Just sayin’ because it’s true ♡♡♡
While the purveyors of religion and those who follow their pernicious ways; argue over their personal/private interpretation of the Word of God only the Truth remains constant ♡ Religion has never and can never, lay for it’s followers the foundation that produces enduring Faith which will withstand the trials of this world; that are intended to test our Faith♡ True Faith alone can resist the doubt that would destroy it♡ Just sayin’ because it’s true ♡♡♡
However, when all is said and done: the Truth is that which prepares mankind for the Great Day of God’s Judgment and this is the standard by which all will be judged for it is written: “But when the Son of Man shall come in His Glory, and all the angels with Him, then shall He sit on the Throne of His Glory: and before Him shall be gathered all the nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as the Shepherd separates the Sheep from the goats; and He shall set the Sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on His right hand, Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry, and ye gave Me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave Me drink; I was a Stranger, and ye took Me in; naked, and ye clothed Me; I was sick, and ye visited Me; I was in prison, and ye came unto Me. Then the Righteous answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed Thee? Or athirst, and gave Thee drink? And when a Stranger,and took Thee in? Or naked, and clothed Thee? And when saw we Thee sick, or in prison, and came unto Thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye did it unto one of My Brethren, even the least, ye did it unto Me “. Now His Brethren are among the called to righteousness, the oppressed and persecuted by the world just as He said they would be; but if you are among those who turn away from such you are unwilling to know, how can you expect to be among the Righteous while you deny those you are called by the Lord to serve? Certainly a question worthy of consideration!
For those who truly desire to serve the Lord; the world supplies ample opportunity; we have only to respond to avoid the risk of being asked: “Why do you call Me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things that I say “? Just sayin’ because it’s true ♡♡♡
As my calling is that of a Pastor and Teacher: I call for the Gathering of Kindred Spirits, to come to partake of our Daily Bread together, beginning in Matthew and progressing on to the last Word of the Book of Revalation at a pace that supports understanding, so we may truly live by every Word that proceeds out of the Mouth of God, just sayin’ because it’s true ♡♡♡
Though I am called to serve all who come, it’s up to the individual to believe me or not, which is a matter of Faith after all, just sayin’ because it’s true ♡ it was my hope that I might answer C2’s question, as well as all who may have been wondering about the same thing, in a way that proves helpful ♡
In Sincere Love, Michael ♡♡♡ 11/25/2021@21:02
P.S., I would appreciate any feedback on what I have been given to share, as your time permits♡♡♡
Just one immediate thought came when you mentioned the old hippies. Some of the old hippies were Jesus lovers & some were not. Whichever camp the were in (and there were other camps), many were led by a lie. The lie that there is free love or love the one you’re with (see Stephen Stills). It was everywhere in our culture… tv, radio, music & peers were teaching free love. This caused many to fall into the heartache of failed romantic relationships over and over & contributed to the failures of, or even the failures to start the nuclear family. It set up a state of mind that if you don’t get along with this person, walk away & find another person, the same or similar problems arise again with each new relationship and this is a pattern of misery. That’s my 2cents worth for now.
