Quote from Joab:
Of course it is, I totally agree but I think you've taken it a step too far calling yourself Jesus "the Christ".
We are impure and ALWAYS have been and ALWAYS will be TRUST ME I've tried to be pure and it was completely IMPOSSIBLE no matter how much will, I put into it.
I think you would do well to go back into the roots of the prophets BEFORE Christ because it's in these scriptures that MANY warn of GOD's anger towards false prophets even IF the message is pure.
God repeatedly warned that it was his right ALONE to speak to whom ever HE choose and that those claiming knowledge without actual spoken guidance were to be chastised and exposed as false.
So until you can PROVE that your words are those of the Father then your just another wanna bee and you will be exposed as such.
If you have evidence (as did the true Christ) through Miracles and wisdom, then show us but till then you really should be cautious and heed the warns from Old Testament prophets.
The messiah will be know by the fruit he bears !!!
Interestingly enough, the way you quoted me changes the meaning of what I said to its opposite.
This is what has happened with what you call Christianity.
Whether you are aware of it or not, you are always teaching. The question really is, what are you teaching?
If you are simply a body, you are a prophet of doom. Everyone who looks at you or listens to you learns he must die. A Jew for Jesus is an oxymoron, like "military intelligence". There is no "body" that is for me.
You can use your body to communicate the opposite of what its original message stood for. If you deny you are the Son of God, then the body stands for its original message: a symbol of separation. It speaks of doom and gloom. Yes, it preaches death because it was made for dying.
If you stop denying, and accept that you are the Son of God, you can send another message. That is the message I am sending. It is a miracle that I am sending it. Because I am sending it, you will see the kinds of miracles that you prefer to wake you up, for the messages are waking me up.
Miracles are for waking up. They are for waking up the miracle worker as much as anyone else. There is no order of difficulty in miracles. Anything is possible. While the miracle worker is waking up, he still thinks that some problems are more difficult than others. This is a misperception that miracles are for correcting. Miracles correct misperception.
"Purity" is simply the correction of misperceptions until they line up with reality so closely that it is a small step back to pure knowledge...without the interference of perception. "Righteousness" is simply right-mindedness.
A miracle worker is one who is in advanced stages of perception correction. He does not get to that stage by denying he is the Son of God.
By your logic, then, no one would be saved. Purity is not relative to stages of innocence. Innocence is total. It is all or nothing. And because it is all, you are innocent. You do not think so, and find it "impossible" to perceive.
You cannot perceive it because you do not believe it. You do not believe it because you do not treasure it right now. You do not treasure it because you keep yourself unaware of its value.
To identify with the Son of God is to value innocence. To value it for yourself, you must value it for everyone. Perhaps you do not yet value it for everyone.
If ever you did value innocence, you have been given help to overcome the seeming impossibility of realizing it completely. This is achieved as perceptions are corrected, leading you to what I've called the "Atonement", where doubt is replaced with certainty.
It takes no time to replace doubt with certainty. What takes time is educating yourself to where you are willing to make an informed decision. Once a decision is made, healing is instantaneous.
What you don't understand, is that the Father does not understand what is your problem. He does not understand your ideas about guilt. That is a concept he does not relate to. If he did, you would be doomed, for he would lose His identity, and along with his, you would lose yours.
The Father cannot understand fear and anger, let alone express it. This is all your doing, and any prophet who preaches fear and anger is a false prophet...misrepresenting the truth.
The only part of the Atonement process the Father understands is where you've come to a willingness to realize that you are innocent.
The Holy Spirit brings you to this point, and guides you thereafter, till you are Home. Once you are willing to turn your weaknesses over to the Holy Spirit, He will exchange your "impossible" perceptions with truth. Then it is possible. Then the Father takes the last step, reaching out toward you. His reality, and yours, is revealed to you, without question. This is beyond words, and instills certainty.
With certainty and purpose, you will work miracles too. If you are not working miracles, something is "wrong". So you are right to recognize their importance. Merely be honest, and ask yourself if you, or anyone informing you about Christianity, is performing miracles without limits on number or in any way relative to the problems that confront them.
That is your goal. As I said, "The things I do, you shall do also, and greater things yet". Till then, question whether you are informed correctly. Till then, question whether you yourself can represent the name of Jesus when you publicly teach what is Christianity.
He who is without sin...etc.
Jesus
