God is not a man that he should lie...

[shunammite]

 He's not "a man", he's ALL MEN...men one by one are "liars" as they tell less than the whole truth...but put it all together and the Perfect Truth is expressed (it can only be envisioned by the One Above All however.)  The Spirits of All Men - in a state of continual Perfection - Just Men being Made Perfect, Heb 12:23 - God The Judge of All = Spirits of Just Men Made Perfect.

There are no "sinful men" in the absolute sense but only "imperfect men", that have not yet acquired some necessary understanding, "ye do err not knowing" as he said..

Jesus knows...the penitent publican admitted his guilt but did not understand his innocence in the scheme of things - unable to lift his eyes to heaven...you never see a picture of Jesus with his head bowed to pray, why is that?  Like Job he says Lord thou knowest I am not wicked - why oh why hast thou forsaken me?  Well son, it's only for a small moment - but with everlasting mercies I will gather thee - your light affliction is not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in thee...O Lord I want to believe it - sometimes I believe it - in part I hope it must be so...but it's so hard to believe after so many disappointments...yes I realize that my "disappointments" were in things I wished for ignorantly...but I'm worn down, spent...like the two sons of Naomi...just pooped.

I do not understand, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND how something SO BLATANTLY OBVIOUS THAT IS REPEATED TIME AND AGAIN IN THE SCRIPTURE IS IGNORED...in the NAME OF CHRIST NO LESS!!!

The tongue that blesses God and curses men is an unruly evil full of deadly poison...Serpentine you might say.  The Same Fountain does not send out bitter and sweet...

Whoso despiseth despiseth not man BUT GOD, I Thess 4:8.

I am the Light of the World he said.  THEN, he said YE ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.  Ergo "I" = "Ye".  Not One man, but ALL MEN - joined fitly together in a mutually edifying Whole Perfect Person.

It's a tall tall order for sure.  Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall - how on earth will we ever get him back together again???  Well first you have to believe it can be done.  And then just keep trying, bit by bit, peace by piece...one makes peace...with all men...one by one...making peace, that is, putting away your sword, your desire to destroy, or to even alter them...and instead asking why are they here, what aspect of the mind of God do they illustrate - how can I connect with what is lovely in them...how can I show them what I have to offer...

Here's another - the first man Adam, a living Soul.  The Last Adam, the Lord from Heaven.  I am the First and the Last.  Adam, the Son of God, Luke 3:38. Jesus called himself the Son of Man.  So he is - but that holy thing that shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of the Highest.  We labor in sore travail till Christ be formed in you...chaste virgins - our real inner self has never really bonded with any other but the Holiest, following the Lamb wherever he goes, Mary had a Little Lamb...the LIttle Lamb has many Brothers...he leads them on a merry chase through the wilderness, through many adventures, trials, tribulations...be of good cheer, he has overcome all of them..the last enemy to be vanquished, DEATH...

This Sore Travail hath God given to the Sons of Men to be Exercised Therewith, Eccl 1:13.  No chastening for the moment (for a small moment have I forsaken thee) seemeth pleasant but grievous but afterwards it yieldeth the Peaceable Fruit of Righteousness to them that are exercised thereby.  But if ye be without chastisement - WHEREOF ALL ARE PARTAKERS...ALL OUR DAYS ARE PASSED AWAY IN THE WRATH, Ps 90:9.  It is appointed to man Once to Die (for as in Adam All Died) and then the Judgment - the Day of Evil - suffiecient unto the day is the evil thereof...

Here's another - Jesus = Christ = Messiah = "annointed" = THE BREATH OF OUR NOSTRILS, Lam 4:20, "the breath of our nostrils, THE ANNOINTED OF THE LORD, was taken in their pits..."

Here's another - "this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased."  Compare "Judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come and make known the hidden things of darkness and the thoughts and intents of the heart - THEN SHALL EVERY MAN HAVE PRAISE OF GOD.  It is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.  Man's goings are OF THE LORD, how than can a man understand his own way??? 

Well then shall we go cuss God out for all the trouble in the world???  (You might as well, cussing God and cussing Man, it's the same thing, James 3:9-10.  Blaspheming is blaming, blaming is a useless response to pain - it's all the yet imperfect know to do however...the overseers, the punishers, a response of some kind is inevitable - stimulus/response, it's the Trademark of Life.  But blaming merely adds insult to injury...eye for an eye is the best it can offer...we must respect the basest of men who are placed in authority...noble people can't bear that kind of work, you have to be partially blinded...and with so many imperfect people...until understanding grows up inside - well the terror of the Lord has to operate on the outside...  But the mature will never blame...the mature seek to understand...and if possible, make things better.  If not, just endure all things.

God is not the author of confusion.  If we all talk at once it's confusing all right.  And each person has to, at his own rate, in his own way, organize his experience with other men, to see where they fit in, to understand the value of them.  Sad to say we rarely appreciate anyone at their true value until they have left us - then and only then do we think inside - this person was Wonderful...just like Him.  Surely this was the Son of God...the soldiers figured it out, after the fact.

My critics will say well you just make everything meaningless.  I would have said the same at one time.  But not now...on the contrary, I greatly enlarge the opportunity for Meaning...the Heighth Depth and Breadth of it...get out of the baby pool and see how deep the rabbit hole goes...  But if you are afraid that is also "of the Lord".  I remember terror - it must be obeyed until you are strong enough to stand up to it.

Speak every man truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another.  Till we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God (long lay the world in sin and error pining - till "He" appeared...and the Soul felt Its Worth - Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, slain from the foundation of the world - his own purpose and grace, given us in Christ Jesus before the world began - unto a Perfect Man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.  Speaking ht eturhti n love..grow up into him in all thigns, which is the head, even Christ.  From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every Connection (kiss?) supplieth...maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. Eph 4.

And the Lord hath laid on Him the Iniquity of us all.  YOUR LIGHT AFFLICTIONS WORK FOR YOU.  He died for all. You must needs die.  Thou fool, except a seed fall to the ground and die it bears no fruit. 

Son of man, can these bones live?  Thou knowest Lord.  Prophesy unto these bones and say unto them O ye dry bones hear the word of the Lord.  The ankle bone was connected to the leg bone, etc.  He leapt up high...the grave could not hold him...I die daily - tomorrow shall be my dancing day...dance dance whereever you may be, I am the Lord of the Dance said He.

Then I was by him, as one brought up with him (brother? - is it Father and Son or Brothers???), and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him - and My Delights were with the Sons of Men.  Prov 8:30-31  Have we not all one father?  Hath not one God created us?  (Mal 2:10) 

God that made the earth and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands. Acts 17:24.  Solomon built him an house, howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands....HEAVEN IS MY THRONE AND EARTH IS MY FOOTSTOOL.  Well now, WHERE DOES HE RESIDE????  WHOSE TEMPLE YE ARE *tries to calm down* I Cor 3:16.  I would say it is more accurate to say the Household of God fitly Framed Together is the Temple of God, spirits of just men made perfect.  But each individual is indwelt by that "annointed" (Messiah, Lam 4:20), indwelt by his own Peculiar Masterful Holy Spirit - why judge another man's servant, to his own master he stands or falls, yea he shall be holden up.  I go to my God and your God - this Divinity is Braided Together, One - but each person has his own strand, that's how I see it.  I mean red and green are different colors but they are both wavelengths of light and WHITE won't be WHITE if either is lacking...
