“We have a law; according to that law, he ought to be put to death, because he made himself out to be the Son of God.” John 19:7 CJB
The Lord showed me something he has shown before, but in a different way or different parable if you will. It involves religion and religious doctrine and beliefs, but he put it in legal context.
It is simply this, each religion or set of beliefs is like a separate lawyer trying to protect his client, reading the law (in this case scripture and the torah). Coming up with their case to get their way for their client. In most law cases it comes down to who knows the law the best, but also or more so who can twist this law the best to get the verdict they want.
So these lawyers (preachers, teachers, priest, popes…) they all have their legal doctrine of how it is supposed to be. And even many bible reading people have come up with their own legal doctrine or way or truth. I have encountered so many people over the years who try to persuade me to do something or give them money using doctrine and twisting verses to support their point of view. One of the last ones, a guy who is about my age and never saved a penny, always broke, hardly works and makes very bad decisions. He tried to convince me I showed sell all I have and we put it in a big pot and use it as each has needs, just like the early Messians did in the book of acts.
This man had many things he saw or read as the right contract for God to honor, and I was to come along with him on his journey and support him financially as well as pushing his doctrine to others via social media and other platforms.
We had many arguments about doctrine, his doctrine was very much influenced by things he heard from other men teachers, and what he has read in the bible and his theology from it. A dangerous way to be because you take what you want from men and then take what you want to believe separate and come up with your own contract of how you will worship God.
And more recently, some of my neighbors who live in the condo project I built, attracted my contract with God, because it is different from the contract they have, the belief system. The beliefs these people have is interesting, and fairly normal amongst people. Because it makes it where a real follower of Jesus would give the cloak off his back, walk the extra mile… In other words give to everyone according to what they ask you to give with no concern about yourself, while at the same time, they are the receivers of that giving and not willing to give themselves. They are extremely demanding and even abusive in their comments to you to get their way. And if you do not follow their contract (or version of God). Then you will not go to heaven. One of the women told me clearly one day “you are not going to heaven.”
So here is the point, there is no contract acceptable to God except the contract he offers to us. The new covenant. We do not get to write up our own doctrine and take it to him and say, here is what is written and you have to follow it Jesus. Many religions have made Jesus into an attorney who has to side with your contract against the Father. But that is NOT who the son of God is. This is why over and over I tell you that this man Jesus Christ never existed. YOur son of God is a lie, a made up man from the pits of hell and satan.
Yeshua, the real son of God does not side with men, twisting the law or doctrine to get men into heaven, and to get men their worldly ways. To allow them to keep sinning and not have to pay the price for those sins. It is like the catrel or mafia breaking the same law over and over and not paying a price. Which happens in this world daily because they have the best lawyers to get them off and or can buy their freedom with bribes. Just look at all the craziness we have in this world with elites and politicians who have broken many laws, and BIG ones even killing people who speak up against them. And with the new epstien files, my bet is no one goes to jail, except some small insignificant perverts who cannot buy their way out of it.
Here is the big point. With God there is no way to buy your way out of his wrath. You cannot write your own contract and terms to come to him, and expect him to be like a dog wagging his tail and happy to see you under your conditions. The son of God, Yeshua is a mediator not a lawyer. He takes what the Father tells him and gives you the option to do it his way under his terms based on his contract. Take it or leave it. Yeshua does not listen to your legal explanation of how you see the law (doctrine or scripture). And go to the Father and argue something like “they have a good point, I see how they view it this way so we should consider it?”
The relationship with God and man is a dictatorship. He is the one dictating and we are the ones to obey what he dictates to us, directly with his voice. When you hear him and obey him, he shows you how the Father expects you to act. And if you act accordingly he builds you up. You come to peace with God and without sin and dysfunction. Not the other way around where God comes to you in your sin and dysfunction and tries to make it work out for your good so you have peace in the sin. There is never peace in sin, never.
This is why the followers of Jesus Christ or christians. Never find the peace of God and leave their sin. There contract says they do not have to so they don’t, nor do they hear the voice of God instructing them how to live so they can overcome. Because no man can overcome on their own. No matter how good of a contract you have and how closely you follow it, you will never overcome the sin in your life. However when we accept the contract the Lord Yeshua is offering us, which is to hear and obey his voice. Then he will change us so we do walk away from the sin and into righteousness in him and his peace. The more you walk in righteousness the deeper the peace is.
And sometimes there is a sin no matter what you do, but once you leave the one sin, the peace comes. I remember clearly when I left my ex wife, for years I could not sleep well when with her. But that first night apart, and from then on I slept like a baby. I felt a HUGE release of dysfunction in me. Yes it is a sin to divorce, but living with a woman like she was is worse. You can escape and repent from the sin of divorce and be healed, but you will never escape the sin and repent and be healed while living with an evil deceptive person who refuses to repent.
Right now I am faced with a similar situation with opinions of others on what to do with the guy who sued us and the dysfunction he brings to the group. He has caused a lot of problems for me. Some of the people in the building think I should forgive and forget and let him have his condo. In their minds it is the right thing to do, even though he made bad choices and gave up his right to the condo. And they have their religious contract in their mind of how their god sees it and I am wrong. In their language and mind I am judging this man and am not forgiving but instead am seeking vengeance against him. Very unchristian” which according to most “christian” contracts it is true.
The God I follow tells me a different story. I have been reading the book of Leviticus and the law, and how the Lord God the Father, Yahweh. Took the land from the locals who were evil and unrepentant and was giving it to the Jews to occupy. As Yahweh gave the laws mostly about sleeping with animals and same sex sexual relations and being not only sinful but detestible to him. Yahweh made the point to them, this is the reason why I am taking these peoples land and driving them out and giving it to you to occupy.
Yeshua gave us the story of the talents which basically says the same thing, if you are even lazy and come with your own contract or argument against God, which is evil in his sight. He will take what little you have and give it to him who has much, and throw you into outer darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.
So to put this into motion and look at the final outcome of both scenarios. Obeying the neighbors god or Yeshua. If I let this evil man remain in our condos when he has no legal rights to it. But they say I should give him legal rights. To allow a sinful man who is known to sleep around and have gay tendencies if not gay sex. A man who is deceitful and has caused much discord amongst us in this small community. A man at all cost to him tries to destroy me in any way he can. I am supposed to let this man into our community and lives? To take my peace and destroy everything I built. And coexist evil with righteousness?
This is the point of God, the point we miss in our own contracts we offer to God thinking he accepts them. He does not allow these people in his kingdom, his Kingdom is full of peace and righteousness, not sin and dysfunction and unrighteousness. What a sad and scary thing to find out when you die that the contract you thought was solid and already accepted by God is worthless and now comes the judgment because of it where you are put in jail for life. But not just any jail, and with no option of parole. There is no escape from this jail and the torture is intense. And this is not for a few years, it is forever.
Do you really want to trust in your men lawyers who wrote up these contracts or doctrine? Many of them make it unsafe to follow God and his Spirit saying things like it is dangerous, it is more secure to follow our religion and doctrine as if they have the fail proof contract with God and the one offered from the son, namely the Holy Spirit and being guided by him is not the best contract or option.
Don’t you think this sounds kind of crazy to the Lord? That his Spirit would somehow lead you astray, and these men have a better handle on things and won’t lead you astray? This is how satan works in the minds of people with crazy lies like this: the men believe because they want to believe them. It is easier for them to be lazy and selfish with man made contracts. This is also NOT the truth which sets you free.
One last thing, the other night I met a man and we had a long deep conversation. I can tell he hears God, although I also know he does not know it or understand it yet. He practices many things the Lord has shown me, especially in regards to his health and eating right, He looks much younger than his age and is not fat at all. He also understands a lot of things about the world and economy like I do. Things that come from seeking truth.
So I told him do not seek religion or listen to men and what they tell you. Seek the truth, the truth being in Yeshua (I explained the reason behind the name of the son as he used Jesus Christ and Christian). I told him do not believe me, nor anyone else. But seek the truth until you find the son, and let him educate you. You must hear him and obey him. He will correct you and make you Holy and righteous. You will know it because of the fruit you will bear. You will see it is good or bad and know the difference and how to overcome the bad, if you seek the truth.
This is the main answer, seek the truth and thou shall find it. Knock and the door will be opened. The problem is we do not knock, instead we write up our own contracts or follow the contracts of other men, and push it in the face of God demanding he accepts it. But not only does God not accept it, he does not even acknowledge it or hear it. As God does not hear the voice of sinners. John 9:31
