This unrighteousness is that strong
delusion; which is the lie the writer of Romans 3:7 was talking
about when he wrote: "For if the truth of the word (epistles - scripture) hath more abounded
through
my lie [writing in symbolism] unto his glory; why yet am I also judged
as a sinner?" Or as one that would intentionally pervert the truth?
Here, it is implying the truth is veiled in a lie. The word lie
is in reference to the "letter that killeth," i.e., the law and the curses
of the law - sin - gravity. The law is the strength of sin; 1 Corinthians 15:56, etc.. This is how
the Word -
creates
the good
and the evil - simultaneously; depending upon intent and desire for the
knowledge (See here). Metaphor, allegory, symbolism,
parable, paradox. etc., is referenced as the image
(false) or lie.
The very thing Paul hated to do but had to; for the sake of hiding, but
yet getting the spiritual message out for those who have pure intent of
motive. Another is; He hideth the truth from the wise and prudent, but
at the same time revealing it unto babes in Christ. This is another
verse for the same meaning, i.e., To the one we [scribes] are the savour of life
unto life to the other the savour of death unto death and who is sufficient for
the things? Meaning one side of the scripture [sword] will cause you to believe
the literal interpretation, being the law, which is the strength of sin, 'and
at the same time (with the same words)' reveal the truth of the words to those who have been
enlightened, or "babes in Christ" Like the 'two
way' well shaft.. Another clue was written thus; "Ah, Lord God, thou hast greatly
deceived
this people (through scripture) saying peace, peace, when the sword
[judgment] reacheth unto the soul." Also Hosea 12:10. In
first Timothy 1:15, Paul claims - of sinners, he is the greatest. And the way he
has written the epistles will cause you to believe his lie (metaphor - allegory
etc.) and be damned, if your intent of heart is not pure in your search for
truth in his writings.
This "strong delusion" is in the scriptures
where the carnal-minded (those under the Strong Delusion) are "ever learning,
but never coming to the knowledge of the Christ, the truth". 2 Timothy, 3:7... Again, Galatians
3:22, "For the scripture
hath
concluded all under sin, that the promise
by faith of the invisible Word might be revealed to them that believe
the Word is Spirit" [sic].
In Romans it says,
"And the commandment which was ordained to life, I found to be unto
death. For sin, taking occasion
by the
commandment, deceived me, and by it
(the commandment) slew me". The Word, says, "I am Spirit,
and those that worship me, must worship me in Spirit and truth".
Scriptures (The Word) cannot be taken literally to understand the hidden message;
they are dual and must be seen as one. This happens in a trinity;
" the third party," and that is our spirit;
the observer.
Affirmation of this duality can be seen
in Deuteronomy chapter thirty, especially verses 14 and 15; "But the
Word
is very nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest
do it....."see," I [the word] have set before
thee this day life
and good, and death and
evil......". Also
Romans 10:6-8. Here it's talking about words;" in them are life
and
death". The
two edged sword. One side, or interpretation,
of the scripture is called the letter (the law) that killeth; which
is the "old testament." The other side of the interpretation is
the spirit, or meaning of the words which give life or understanding
to the word; and of course means "Christ"; the
new testament, the
Son
of the Word. Two principles; positive and negative, night and day,
male and female, yin and yang, good and evil, Satan and Jesus, the
lie
and the truth. "Out of DARKNESS comes the light." "Out of the LIE comes
the truth." "Out of Chaos come order." "Out of ignorance comes knowledge",
and so on..... First, is always the bad guy (dark) and second, the
good
guy.
The "Old Testament" means
under the law of
literal or carnal teaching. The "Old Testament" begins
in Genesis chapter one verse one, and ends in Revelation chapter 22 and
verse 21. "The New Testament" is the same scripture taught spiritually,
esoterically or metaphysically, and it begins in Genesis chapter
one verse one, and ends in Revelation chapter 22 and verse 21. Thus, two
ways to teach them - at the same time - and at any place throughout
the scripture, that's why so many interpretations and controversy (I discuss
this on page five). The word "edge," in the Hebrew lexicon, means - mouth;
the two mouthed word, or the two edged sword - they are both
the
same scripture.
We have to right-ly
divide
the word of truth, until we (the
observer) have made the two one, by Embracing The Contradiction,
thus completing the trinity, i.e., these three are one. A nice example
of how this works is in John 17: 1-26. In verses 21-23 it reads: "That
they all
[those who are enlightened] may be made one; as
thou, Father, art
in me, and I in thee, that
they
[third
party] also may be one in us [two]: 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 ("Know ye not
- that ye
are gods yourselves"?):....I in them,
and
thou in me, that
they may be made perfect in one
[us
= 3]; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved
them, as thou hast loved me." Now, the trinity is one. John, 5:7;
"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the
Word, and the Holy Ghost [and ALL that have it] and
these three are one".
Remember where it was written, He was coming back
after his bride? This is what is being discussed in this parable. A few
verses back it read that these, who are to be made one with the
Father and the Son, were taken out of the world (of ignorance or lies)
because they recognized the truth..... the truth is
in the word.
This is what I meant a moment ago about our spirit being the observer of
the two and making them one - thus the trinity. The bride are the
ones that have made themselves ready for the groom, Jesus (the good Word
of scripture), for they (the spiritual-minded) are espoused and married
unto him by having been made one; a spiritual body made up of many
members in particular. This is the virgin, the
feminine aspect
of the trinity. These are those that have not lain with - men; meaning
the carnality of the law (also see, Conception). This becomes clear when we understand how the
word, man or men are used in symbolism (see below), etc.
On the surface of all scripture are two opposing
forces. Light against darkness, darkness against light, the flesh (law
- darkness) against the Spirit (understanding -light), the Spirit against
the flesh, the
controversy - complexities, etc. (Galatians,
5:17). To understand how these
forces play a part in scripture is to examine the word - image.
As we know, literally, an image is something made of matter, a physical
thing we can see with the human eye or touch with the hand. There is another
image
that we cannot see or touch with our physical members and that is
the image words pictorialize. Some words have two or more meanings,
or images, and these are the words the writers of the Bible books used
to suggest a
visual image
to the mind and is meant to be for
reflection only (Romans, 7:1,14). So an invisible, Spiritual or Holy, set
apart, impression might also be comprehended along
with it; concomitant if you will; the two again. To those who
understand metaphor and symbolic language such as most songs are written, will
have a better idea of how scriptures are also written.
Conformation for the above is found in Hosea chapter
13 verse 10; "I have also spoken by the prophets, and [I] have multiplied
visions, and used similitude's, by the ministry [writings - books etc.]
of the prophets." Thereby putting forth Spiritual life and spiritual
death at the
same time. It is up to us to choose whom we will serve;
the
image of the word, which is called the law, the flesh, the graven
image, the letter that killeth; Barabbas; the outer; the veil or, serve the invisible message,
which is called Christ. Before we go any further let's look at some clues about the differences of law and Spirit. The word man
represents the carnal mind - the un -enlightened, or anyone
who
takes the scriptures literally (unless it specifies - brethren
- or a good or spiritual
man). I will explain shortly.
The word brethren represents one who examines
scriptures spiritually. Spiritual epistemology if you will. Example: Romans
7:1; "Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that
know the law) how that the law hath dominion over a man
as long as he liveth (or believes in it)?" Compare that with
verse 14 of the same chapter; and it says; "For we brethren [the
enlightened],
know that the law is spiritual:
but I am carnal
sold under sin [the law]". What he's referring to is, where he has to
do the things he hates; and that is to write the epistles in symbolism,
allegory, metaphor, parables, paradox etc., which on the surface (literal
interpretation) is confusion or a lie, as he explains in Romans 3:7; "For
if the truth of the Word hath more abounded
through
my
lie [writings] unto his glory; why yet
am I also judged as a sinner [or as one that believes his own lie, i.e.;
writings = sinful-flesh - words]?" But like the scriptures point out, they were
written this way to hide the truth from the wise and prudent (literal mind
- carnal) but yet, revealed unto babes of an enlightened mind. Meaning
those with even a little spiritual understanding. By now you can
see how this, the strong delusion, spoken of earlier, resembles
the attributes of the law, i.e., the literal - carnal way of interpreting
these
biblical books. This message of the literal interpretation is also referred
to as the waters of confusion - Arabia = dark swarthy waters
and
swaddling clothes,
Luke
2-12.
There are two laws written in the scriptures,
just like the two laws perpetuating the universe. One law for matter,
and one for energy, the invisible and spiritual, positive/negative or matter and
anti-matter (and there is also gravity). When these
laws are fully comprehended they become one with dual polarization;
One
law
but two ways of looking at it .Two brothers - Cain and Able, Esau
and Jacob, Ishmael and Isaac, Satan (the energy of ignorance), and Jesus
(the energy and spirit of understanding - the invisible principle), or,
death and life. The word sin actually means, living under the law
of ignorance (error, deceiver or devil, lie or law, gravity etc.) rather
than the enlightened law of understanding; life and peace, and this peace
is the peace that passes all understanding; total at-one-ment; being omnipresent,
omnipotent and omniscient - our true birthright.
Example: 1st. Corinthians 15:56; "The sting of
death [a conviction of the literal interpretation] is sin: and the
strength
of sin
is the law." 1st. John 3:4; "Whosoever committeth
sin
transgresseth also the law: for sin
is
transgression of
the law
[ie.
taking it literally]". "But
we know that the law is spiritual".
Galatians, 5:18; "For if ye be led of the Spirit [of understanding], ye
are not under the law [sin]." Romans, 8:2; "For the law of the Spirit of
understanding in the Living Word hath made me free from
the law of sin
and death in the letter of the law." [sic] This law, is the veil.
His
word-body
image
within us. It is the sinful flesh he comes in
i.e. (swaddling clothes),
the flesh we're supposed to eat. This is how the Scripture
concludes all under sin, because, in order to get to the truth,
you have to go through, or by-way of the law and be tempted by the deceiver
- the flesh,
sinful flesh. Born of water and then born again
of the spirit. First
carnally
and then spiritually. Paul's lie was so good that the glory of God hath more
abounded through it. Few there be that
- FIND - it. This find it, is referring to the
blood, or life, of the word - which means spiritual or esoteric understanding;
that
which cannot be contradicted because it is ONE with all laws. Remember
where it says, "If you have broken the least of these my commandments,
you have broken them ALL."...? Then, does it not stand to reason that,
if you understand the least one
that was broken, you would have understanding of them all
- also...? Part of the unified field theory and the holographic
universe/s.
Again, Paul explains the difference in 2nd. Corinthians
2:15,16; "For we [the writers of these epistles] are unto God a sweet savour
of Christ, in them that are saved [from the law] and in them that perish
[under conviction]....To the one,
we are the savour of death unto
death; and to the other [the enlightened] the savour of life unto life.
And who is sufficient for these things?" In other words, the scripture
that is being written goes two ways (much more on this in the pyramid
section), carnal
and Spiritual. The carnal way of looking at the
scriptures
conjure up images in the mind of literal interpretation,
which brings confusion because of contradiction or controversy, which is
sin, and the strength of this sin is the two way law - which brings
spiritual death. The Spiritual, gives an invisible
impression of knowing and understanding the interpretation without a mental
image; sort-of omnipresent, the silent voice of knowledge - with
no words, which of course means; no mental image.
Knowing how that works will help translate the
next two verses; Romans 1:20, and it reads; "For the Spiritual things hidden
in the word from the creation of the world are clearly
seen, being
understood by the images
of the words, even His eternal understanding and Godhead; so that
the un-enlightened are without excuse [sic]:" And, 2nd. Corinthians,
4:18; "While the brethren look not at the image (thing
made) of
words, but at the silent or invisible understanding: for the images which
are
seen are temporal [because once seen Spiritually, the image no longer
exists]; but the invisible understandings are eternal." One of the
Hebrew words for thing is Dabar; and it means; book, commandment, language,
matter, thought, and of course,
word. The point here is to
look through the outer - image (metaphor etc.) of the word, to the inner, which
is an invisible or spiritual knowing.
Understanding this hidden invisible message is
kind of like a song. When we hear a song we don't wrestle with the words
in order to get the message, it flows to us from another level, say, a
unified field, which you could also call the "Lamb's Book of Life," or
the "Akashic Records." Everything is recorded in the universal DNA patterns
and connections - "The Field". You could say the message of a song is separated, (holy
- set apart) from the words. Example: She took my heart, tore
it apart, broke it, there's no more ocean, there's no more sky, and on
and on. What confusion it would be to take this literally, or carnally.
Look at the people that would constantly be arguing and fighting over the
interpretation of how the song should be taken. When diligent research
is done on the words prophecy, and
prophesy, it would be
found they mean, (spiritually), song and
sing. What this
infers is, not to take the scriptures carnally. Example: washing of
the feet, laying on of the hands, death of the cross. These are metaphors,
allegory, parables and so on - and are quite often, all lumped together
at the same time -there again; the spherical cocoon.
When the scriptures tell us to wash each others
feet, the first impression, or image, that comes to mind, looking at it
literally or carnally, is to literally do what it suggests. This
entails getting a container of water, a cloth or towel, and to physically
wash the feet. The impression to literally do this is called the
graven image. When the mind is converted (born again) into spiritual
understanding, the carnal impression of looking at scripture immediately
disappears, because it was put there for reflection only.
There again, temporal. In order to understand and do this when reading
scripture, a remembrance of where the scripture said, "look at the image
to understand the things that are not (Romans 1:20)." Then immediately a closure comes
to mind and helps make the conversion from the image view to the understanding,
or knowing, even though we're not cognizant that it is doing it - just
like a song that converts its image of words to an understanding
or true intent of the message. By looking at the word
feet- as an image made in the mind, we can give it the characteristics of walking or carrying us
from point "A" to point "B". And feet, are what we
stand on.
You could say; "this is where I stand
on the issue," or "this is where I'm coming from or being led to." By this
conversion, as you can see, there is no literal mental image present.
Feet then, in the spiritual sense, represents faith or belief. When we
choose a path, or different paths of the mind to walk in, we do not use
physical feet, but we use the Spiritual - our faith. Looking at
the writings in this light, we can understand when scripture says
to wash each other's feet, it simply means to help strengthen or cleanse
our faith by edifying one another, having pure intent and understanding,
without condemnation and scorn. All scripture is written to the inner person,
not the outer.
One of the words for
hand that is used
for spiritual interpretation in Young's lexicon, is Yad, and
represents
ministry, preaching, logos, power etc. Hand, also
has opposite meanings because there is a left and right hand. For those
of you familiar with the scripture can recall many instances where the
scripture differentiates between the two. For those of you who are
not that familiar here are just a couple of verses to help grasp the concept.
In Job 23:8,9 where Job (or anyone) searching for answers, declares; "Behold,
I go forward, but He is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive Him:...On the
left hand [the literal interpretation], where
He doth work, but I cannot behold Him: He hideth himself on the right
hand [the invisible principle], that I cannot see Him." The
Son sitteth on the right hand. To cease from works, would
be to sit on the right - hand. Psalms 20:6, "Now know I that the
Lord saveth his anointed [those of spiritual understanding]; he will hear
him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his
right
hand."
Exodus 15:6, "Thy right hand,
O Lord, is become glorious in power [Christ the power of the Word
and the wisdom of the Word - thus He sitteth on the right hand]:
thy right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy (i.e.. the left hand
- or image. Man = carnal and
brethren = spiritual
)." Ecclesiastes 10:2. " A wise
man's heart is at his
right hand; but a fool's heart at his left."
These two, again, are the opposing forces,
or teachings. When following the "left hand," it is impossible to follow
the "right hand;" or, you cannot serve two masters. The right hand says,
no man cometh unto me except he first be drawn of the left, or the
law, the word, the Father. By understanding that the Word (in the beginning
was the Word) is the Father -
or- that is, "the law", we can see the Son, on, and in - the right
hand - the savior, which in turn reveals to us the Father, which is to
say, "I and my Father are one." By looking at the scriptures literally,
we cannot see them spiritually, but looking at them spiritually, we can
see the Word (father) and the understanding (the Son). There again,
those with this understanding, becoming the third of the trinity - making
the two one. In the book of Revelation, chapter 19 and verse 13,
it speaks of Jesus' name this way; "And He was clothed with a vesture dipped
in blood (two meanings, "Life"
and "guilt"): and
His name
[Jesus]
is called
The Word of God (or enlightened - spiritual - knowledge.
See Ephesians 6:17)." We first have
to be born of water, the left hand information of the law; and
of the spirit, which is the esoteric understanding or right hand
information of the law. If we understand "the law is spiritual,"
(Romans, 7:14)
that will help us to walk on the water - the emotions. In order to walk
on this water (Revelation 12:15 and 17:15) we must keep our eyes
(mind) on Christ, the spiritual understanding when we are reading -
the law.
There are a couple of scriptures
about 'man'
and Jesus in
the flesh, that might help explain the difference between the two. Considering
first, what the word man represents. It is used in all scripture,
and is for the most part, traditionally understood to mean hu-man.
The word flesh also falls into that category. The following verses
should show how they are meant to be interpreted esoterically or spiritually.
1st. Corinthians, 3:1-3; "And I, brethren, could not speak unto
you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal; even as unto babes in spiritual
understanding....I have fed you with milk, and not with meat [by way
of the epistles; meaning he had to write them symbolically]: for hitherto
ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able....For ye are
yet carnal; for whereas there is among you envying,
and
strife, and
divisions
[confusion],
are ye not carnal,
and walk
as men?"
To be carnal then, is to be like man, or men.
Proverbs 14:12 and Proverbs 16:25.
"There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but
the end thereof are the ways of death". See also how men stack up to
women, here. 1 Corinthians 15:55-56; "O
death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?'' ''The sting of death
is sin; and the strength of sin is the law." That is, the letter or "lie"
in Romans 3:7. The 'ways' of 'death' is teaching the scriptures 'literally'.
"But, we (brethren) know the law is spiritual." "And the
commandment (scripture) which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
For sin (the
Law = the dead Letter- the letter that killeth), taking occasion by the commandment,
deceived me, and by it
slew me". Galatians 3:22, "For the
'scripture' hath
concluded all
under sin,..."
John 5:39 "Search the scriptures;
for 'in them' ye think ye have eternal life:
and they (MEN) are they which testify of me."
Those that worship the "law" or the "letter that killeth"
are those that still cling to traditional orthodoxy
.
1 Thessalonians 5-3 "For
when they shall say, Peace and safety; then
sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail
upon a woman with child; and they shall not
escape."
Jeremiah 4:10
"Then said I, Ah,
Lord God!
surely thou hast greatly
deceived this people and Jerusalem [How?],
saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the
sword reacheth unto the soul." And here:
Jeremiah
6-14...
"They
have healed also the hurt of the daughter of
my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace;
when there is no peace."
Matthew 10-34.."Think
not that I am come to send peace on earth: I
came not to send peace, but a sword."
Revelation
1:16
"And
he had
in his
right
hand
seven
stars:
and out
of his
mouth
went a
sharp
twoedged
sword:
and his
countenance
was as
the sun
shineth
in his
strength."
Revelation 19:15 "And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God."
By the above
references, I find the scriptures are indeed
a "TWO" edged (S) Word.
"For to be
carnally-minded
is death ; and to be spiritually-minded is life and peace....Because the
carnal mind wars against the Word of truth: for it is not subject to the
law of spiritual learning, neither indeed can be (Romans, 8: 6,7)." First
Timothy, 6:16 should be very clear on this;
MAN has never seen God nor will he
ever! If MAN is a liar, what hope has he? In other words, the carnal mind can only see the image of the Word, and
not the invisible, or spirit message. This is why men have so many doctrines
of the same scriptures. If the world could not contain the books
that should be written about the subject of "Jesus," imagine the diversities
that could evolve from them if taken literally...?
The word, flesh, looked at literally,
is generally understood to represent a physical body. In what is called
"The New Testament" when the word "Jesus" is read as literal history, the
carnal mind perceives him as human - in flesh. If, "in the beginning
was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God," then
this is stating a differentiation of the same principle making this, "with"
God, one and the same as God. Or in simpler terms, "I and my Father
are one." This becomes very clear when Proverbs chapter eight is brought
in, especially verses 30 and 35; "Then I
was by him, as one brought
up
with him: and I
was daily his delight, rejoicing always
before him....For whoso findeth me (Christ-understanding) findeth
life, and shall obtain favor of the Word." Or, shall see the truth of the
Father-Word -
because of me. So, when the Word is read carnally,
the hidden Christ within cannot be seen because of the "graven image" of
the carnal-mind or - the veil. The word, "Word," means the
"flesh," and
as it says, "He
is come in the flesh (in the likeness
of
sinful flesh-the law)
2 Corinthians 5:21 "For he hath made him to
be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might
be made the righteousness of God in him."." His flesh is meat indeed. But you cannot
live by flesh (bread) alone. As is written; "unless you eat
my
flesh
and
drink
my blood,
you have no understanding in you." Blood represents
the life or understanding of the Word-body, which is called flesh, which
also we must eat. This applies to any knowledge. Knowledge
by itself is a schoolmaster to bring us to the understanding or
truth of its negative and literal ramifications.
The Word - literally will kill you,
