SELF OUT OF THE PICTURE

Self-centered. adj. Obsessed with one self and one’s affairs.

Self-ish adj. Concerned mainly with one’s own needs or wishes.

Self-less adj. Concerned more with the needs and wishes of others than with one’s own.

Self-noun. A person’s particular nature or personality.

The Divine plan of God is to show His Selflessness to the world that His glory will be manifested. The enemy of God through his perverted Spirit of rebellion puts the thought into the man’s mind that God is harsh, dictatorial, self-ish, and self-centered. If the latter were true, none of us would of being in existence.

GOD WORK'S IN US

The Love of God is given to all of God’s created beings as the Natural affection 1 Timothy 3:1-3

The Saving Love and the Natural love is given to the saints of God through redemption 1 John 7-21. The Saints of God have both The Natural Affection and the Saving Love of God.

Moreover, because God made man he works in man to point him to his creator to glorify him. So in all things God The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit comes first, God opens the understanding of the man to know that His temple is belonging to God, it is his tabernacle and works in that man to love his natural frame, and who he is.

That man becomes a parent and it is the plan of God for that man to train, teach, and instruct his wife and children guided by the Spirit of God. The man’s neighbours, who may be an enemy or friend has the life of God in him and so he must be loved as a created being of God The Father, Neighbours is anyone living close to you and anyone we come into contact with.

THE FATHER—THE SON – THE –HOLY SPIRIT

WORKS IN THE MAN AND FITS HIM FOR THE DIVINE PURPOSE OF GOD, TO LOVE GOD, PARENTS, SELF, SIBLINGS, NEIGHBOURS (FRIEND)

PARENT TO TRAIN, TEACH, INSTRUCT GOD’S CHILDREN WHOM HE LOANED UNTO THEM. Children not kids, kids are wild goats and you raise goats but train children.

Psalms 30: 12 KJV
1 Thessalonians 5:8 KJV

HEAR HIS VOICE

In reference to John 3:16; John 15:13. Had God not sent His son to die for us then He, as God the Father would have been Self-ish, and self-centered. Jesus died for every saint of His we were in our fore parents loins when Jesus died and because of His self-less love Jesus wanted us to experience and share this love by precept and example through obedience to His LAW. John 16:27; Jeremiah 31:3; Ephesians 2:4,5; Deuteronomy 7:8; Romans 5:8; 1 John 3:1; 4:9,16.

In reference to John 10:11, 14. God knows His sheep they were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, God has his chosen in the world and hence the reason for the gospel message, we do not know who is sheep or goat so we ought not to do a separation all we have to do is minister the pure word of God. God alone knows who is sheep and goat those whom God has already called, He fits them for His purpose and puts His Holy Spirit in them and works through them to call His other sheep into the fold, and by the fruits of the individual one will know them.

When the sheep hears Jesus voice they will follow, Jesus said “my sheep hear my voice” hear there is to listen and obey and live what was heard. Ephesians 1:4-5; 2:10; 1 Peter 1:20; 2 Timothy 1:9; 1 Peter 1:2; 1 Corinthians 1:26; Romans 8:29; 1 Corinthians 2:7; Titus1:2; Proverbs 16:4; Acts 4:28; Romans 9:6-22; Ephesians 3:11; Isaiah 42:9; 46:10.

God brought man into this world and everything, which was placed in the man’s mind, came from God. If God did not give man the knowledge of love man would not of known what love is.

PRECEDENT BEING SET

In Numbers 8:17 God was setting a precedent throughout Israel, which was pointing to Jesus Christ as the first-born of every creature, the first fruit, the saviour of man and His church, which is the firstborn. Matthew 1:25; Hebrews 12:23; Romans 8:29; 1 Corinthians 15:20, 23.

In reference to Isaiah 43:7, 21. God dwelt in time indefinite and he was and is all joy, love, peace, temperance, justice, mercy, faith and such like. God did not need one created being to make him happy, it is because He is love that he brought what was in him through the process of creation.

If God had not created then He would of ceased to be God, then would he be self-centered, and self-ish because it is His nature to share His love. God the Father brought forth creation and shared himself through His Son Jesus Christ to redeem man.

No man can take the credit to creation as his doing, creation testifies to the power and majestic glory of God The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit formed man, created man to worship and show forth the character of God in the earth.

Created there is both the natural creation process to make man and the spiritual deliverance from sin unto perfect obedience to the law of God, which is the character of God, which is the seal of God. When man has the spiritual deliverance then the glory of God shall shine forth from him as the Holy Spirit of God works in the mind to enlighten the darkened understanding.

Ephesians 2:10; 2 Corinthians 5:17; John 3:3; Exodus 19:5; Deuteronomy 14:2; 26:19; Isaiah 12:22; Psalm 29:11; Hebrews 8:10; 1 Peter 2:9; Revelation21:3; Matthew 24:22, 31; Luke 18:7; Romans 8:33; 2 Timothy 2:10; 1 Peter 1:2; Deuteronomy 7:6; Psalm 4:3; 1 Corinthians 1:26; Ephesians 1:4; James 2:5; 1 Peter 2:10.

TRUTH

Jay this is in support of your post.

The knowledge which the Judical system is using to function with today where did they obtain that knowledge from? where did they obtain the knowledge that a man must not steal, murder, commit adultery? where did the knowledge come from that children must obey there parents?

The entire Christian world will say it is wrong to bow down and worship false images, you must not make graven images, you must not kill, you must not covet, but why is it they will say the Sabbath is non an void.

They will say the law was done away with but my friends where there is no law there is no sin so today man can do all manner of evil and not be penalised because there is no law to condem the the evil. The christian world can not keep nine of the commandments and preclude one which is the SABBATH.

No where in the Bible could one trutfully show that the Sabbath should not be kept yea even today. The Gentiles also kept the Sabbath, all the Apostles kept the Sabbath the BOSS JESUS he was the one to change the Sabbath and he did not are we better than Jesus, and the Apostles through whom Jesu set up the church which is extended down to our time today? I believe not. Read Acts 13:13-14, 27, 42, 43, 44, 45; Acts 16:11-14; Acts 17:1-5; Acts 18:1-5;

Many mix up the Sacrifical law in Galatians with the Ten Commandments law people ought to understand the scriptures and let the Holy Spirit do the interpretation and not men who are filled with the glorification of self. The Sabbath is still binding upon every individual even today.

for discussion on this point, put them on the shout box below and state your views, because this question needs to be discussed step by step with all parties being open and honest.

DISCUSSIONS WELCOME FROM ALL WITH CIVILITY AND CHRISTIAN GROWTH AND GRACES. I bodly say I am a Christian washed and delivered in the blood of JESUS our only saviour and deliver because we are saved by his life and there is no other name under heaven wherby we must be saved.

Some People believe that once you speak about the Commandments then you are not a christian what utter non sense.

TRIALS OF JOB

Many people ask the question was there another person in the bible who passed through the trials which Job did?. My answer is this:

Job's affliction was exclusive while still being inclusive, in every generation the children of God are buffeted and afflicted and they still kept the faith. The Prophet Zachariah was sawn asunder between the proch and the Altar and he kept the faith untill death.

The Prophet Jeremiah was beathen and placed into a cess-pit yet he still kept the faith, Elijah was persecuted and yet he still kept the faith, Apostle Peter was persecuted and was crucified upside down yet he still kept the faith, Apostle Paul was buffeted, beaten, stoned in-prisioned yet he still kept the faith.

The Apostle John was place into a pot of boiling oil yet he still kept the faith, and the millions of Christians in the dark ages who were maimed, butchered cut asunder, placed into arenas with wild animals and were burnt to the stake yet they to kept the faith, and today when christians are buffeted, laughed at, jered at, and isolated and victimised YET WE TO KEEP THE FAITH.

Every child of God has their own separate great test or affliction or persecution to go through while being exclusive they are all inclusive all to the glory of God and the strenghtening of the church. If every fruit tasted alike yet with the same name how odd that will be. so as christians our name differ so does our test of faith to the building of character unto Perfection.
