Lot more to say about creation.

I apologize for not getting back sooner, as I am also building a web site & learning from scratch.
Now some of you are waiting with bated breath for me to elaborate on:

Now I have a "Whole Lot More" to say about our part of creation here & now, yet will leave it for another curiosity. (From 070515)


OK But don't call the 'The Blab It & Grab It ' Police on me till you weigh this out. OTOH go ahead.
Hard to get up to speed, because it will take a lot of Scripture Quotes to get there,
Let me start with, 'JESUS giving us the Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven.

Matthew 16:18-19
And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. [19] And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."

HE Confirms what the keys are ( In the mouth of two or more witness) in:

Matthew 18:18-20
Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. [19] Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. [20] For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them."

Now look at what else HE says,"Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven."

Anything they ask ... "DONE" in heaven. Yes I know by our FATHER!
Now how do you bind & loose?
To bind or loose here on earth can only be done with the mouth, & Heaven is not here on earth ... per se, yet it is within the believer.


Luke 17:21
nor will they say, 'See here!' or 'See there!' For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you."


Whew! This is going to take some work, so hang on, I will try to hurry!
When Paul is talking about the word of faith that saves us, we 1st think about it and then believe it, Yet it is when we say it, that it comes to pass. OK The Scripture!


Romans 10:8-10
But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith which we preach): [9] that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. [10] For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.


Now where did Paul get this perspective? This one is not mystical like some of his other views ... well yes it is, ... yet backed up with "The Word OF Faith" !

Deut. 30:11-16
"For this commandment which I command you today is not too 1mysterious for you, nor is it far off. [12] It is not in heaven, that you should say, 'Who will ascend into heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?' [13] Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, 'Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?' [14] But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.
[15] "See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, [16] in that I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the LORD your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess.

Let us look at this a little closer; 1mysterious in the NKJV, hidden in the KJV and difficult in the NIV. Moses says that this is as plain as the nose on your face, WP's V. Now look at Vss 12-14 and compare with what Paul says in Rom. 10:6-8. Not verbatim, as he was probably writing from memory. YET "In Your Mouth" nevertheless! Continuing:

Deut. 30:15-16
"See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, [16] in that I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the LORD your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess.


Look at this: "Set before us ... 'Life and Good' 'Death and evil'" Now what are we to do with these? I am glad you asked!! :-)

Deut. 30:19
I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore 2 choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;


Now I ask you how do you 2choose?
Moses and Paul both say with your mouth! Now do not argue with me, argue with The Word of GOD!

Now I will tip toe here a moment. 1st let me clarify that Ignorance is not a bad word, It just means, to not know, let alone understand.

When someone is going thru trials, e.g. financial problems, sickness etc, there are a few things to look at. GOD Knows best and I believe that we are in school. Now the believer never fails, yet we often take the same tests over & over till we pass. Some of the times it is just plain Ignorance of what GOD had created for us and if we do not know, we can never really understand.

I have often wondered what my function in the Body of Christ was. The emphasis by the IC (institutional church) is on much doing, much prayer, attending all of the IC meetings etc. this was a measure of your level of spirituality. Follow what the IC has set down to do and you will be blessed. If one questioned the way things were well you were usually ignored or thought of as a ‘radical’. Many times the powers that be have strained at a gnat and swallowed a camel. For me simple church life of coming together and all sharing in worship and as much as possible daily life together makes for an organic living church (Body of Christ).
