Christian Clarity Review

Isaiah 45:5-7 I am Jehovah, and there is none else; there is no God beside me: I girded thee, and thou hast not known me; –that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the going down, that there is none beside me. I am Jehovah, and there is none else; forming the light and creating darkness, making peace and creating evil: I, Jehovah, do all these things.

Jeremiah 18:11 And now, speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I prepare evil against you, and devise a device against you: turn ye then every one from his evil way, and amend your ways and your doings.

God creates evil and creatures to be filled with that evil:

Proverbs 16:4 Jehovah hath wrought everything on his own account, yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

Revelation 4:11 Thou art worthy, O our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honour and power; for *thou* hast created all things, and for thy will they were, and they have been created.

These truths are of course, very inconvienent for a free willer’s heart. For they imagine in their heart, which is a world of iniquity (Mat 15:18-20 but the things which go forth out of the mouth come out of the heart, and those defile man. For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, blasphemies; these are the things which defile man; but the eating with unwashen hands does not defile man.) and (Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and incurable; who can know it? ) –that they have the same heart as God and not-deceitful or incurable and that with the heart they have is the final arbitor of what makes emotional common sense –that their own emotional common sense is Divine. Indeed, ‘doing Jesus-as-Love is to a free willer the ‘ideal’ of a perfect heart, which is none other than the ‘Immacualte Heart’ of the Romanists. That equating their fallen heart and a mere ‘ideal’ of perfect etiquette within it with God as if their heart were not fallen and is God’s heart is the very sin for which Lucifer, as the spiritual King of Tyre, was cast as profane from heaven eludes them in anti-Christ’s rush to make them clean in their own eyes in order to deceive them ‘free’ will actually exists and ‘works’/'is effective’ to make them divine:

Ezekiel 28:1-10 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyre, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thy heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a *god, I sit in the seat of God, in the heart of the seas, (and thou art a man, and not *God,) and thou settest thy heart as the heart of God: behold, thou art wiser than Daniel! nothing secret is obscure for thee; by thy wisdom and by thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures; by thy great wisdom thou hast by thy traffic increased thy riches, and thy heart is lifted up because of thy riches. Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast set thy heart as the heart of God, therefore behold, I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall tarnish thy brightness. They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of those that are slain in the heart of the seas. Wilt thou then say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and not *God, in the hand of him that pierceth thee. Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised, by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it , saith the Lord Jehovah.

Setting their own heart equal with God, as if God did not create multiple hearts and give those hearts to whomsoever He pleased for His Own purposes, is the very sin that imprisons them even as anti-Christ through them seeks to make it a ‘theological’/non-creating ‘principle’ that God’s ‘reputation’ among those-who-are-deceived-they-can-choose-Him is somehow besmirched and God-as-merchandise is less salable to those who wish to buy divinity if He is the Author of evil. As well, anti-Christ seeks to limit God as if God can’t do what is not in His nature.

But in creating evil, God plainly demonstrates He is All-powerful –by expressly creating what is the alien of His Own Nature. Not only so, but He does so to bring about an overall good even if a temporary evil exists for millenia to bring that good to pass.

As God has said through Beza, The Fall was both necessary and right. God Spoke the Fall and Adam Fell and we gained a mind not-God that could not understand God until we were born again as new creature in Jesus Christ and have the mind of Christ.

(1 Corinthians 2:12-15 But *we* have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God, that we may know the things which have been freely given to us of God: which also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, communicating spiritual things by spiritual means . But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him; and he cannot know them because they are spiritually discerned; but the spiritual discerns all things, and *he* is discerned of no one. For who has known the mind of the Lord, who shall instruct him? But *we* have the mind of Christ.)

God does not Say ‘if thou eatest eat of the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil” but “..in the day that thou eatest..” as well as Saying through Adam that Man would leave His Father and his mother and cleave to his wife –which Adam immediately did:

Genesis 2:16,17 And Jehovah Elohim commanded Man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou shalt freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest of it thou shalt certainly die

Genesis 2:23,24 And Man said, This time it is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh: this shall be called Woman, because this was taken out of a man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.

The Law of Marriage was Spoken by God through Adam as the Word of God, proving God in-dwelt Adam as Word and Spirit (Church began with Adam –not at Pentecost: the Spirit was INDWELLING prior to the Fall and afterwards…). For Jesus Christ as the Incarnate Word of God Says of the Law of Marriage:

Matthew 19:3-6 And the Pharisees came to him tempting him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? But he answering said to them , Have ye not read that he who made them , from the beginning made them male and female, and said, On account of this a man shall leave father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh? so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.

Thus, God created evil, a tree whose fruit was the knowledge of good AND evil, the Fall, and all/everything in order to demonstrate His power, that His Understanding and Knowledge is infinite and His Love and Wrath triumphant. His absolute and unrestrained power is demonstrated in the creation of that which is alien to His Own nature. His understanding is demonstrated to be Infinite and Wisdom in that He is not at all limited to a mere ‘reaction against’ what He did not create or know but ALL is within Him. His Love and Wrath are demonstrated on the elect and the reprobate, each appointed to their place for that exact purpose.

Romans 9:18-26 So then, to whom he will he shews mercy, and whom he will he hardens. Thou wilt say to me then, Why does he yet find fault? for who resists his purpose? Aye, but thou, O man, who art *thou* that answerest again to God? Shall the thing formed say to him that has formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Or has not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make one vessel to honour, and another to dishonour? And if God, minded to shew his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much long-suffering vessels of wrath fitted for destruction; and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared for glory, us, whom he has also called, not only from amongst the Jews, but also from amongst the nations? As he says also in Hosea, I will call not-my-people My people; and the-not-beloved Beloved. And it shall be, in the place where it was said to them, *Ye* are not my people, there shall they be called Sons of the living God.

Thus, those through whom anti-Christ seeks to establish as ‘theology’ and ‘truth’ that God cannot and did not create evil ‘because’ that would supposedly make God evil Himself and that God directly Saying that He actively creates evil is not really ‘what God meant to say’ but that ‘what God intended to mean’ was that God creates mere emotional negatives/distress/calamity are fully exposed as servants of anti-Christ, of Leb-Kamai/Belial/Bel, as servants of those in the heart of those that rebel against God –and yet as servants of God in wrath as vessels of wrath. As well, those whose hearts God makes hard so that they cannot understand that evil and sin is a living creature, part of which is non-creating speech and not a mere ‘act’ (as the fallen are not constrained by a mere act that has not happened yet, nor free from sin because it is in their past as an ‘act’ and are not guilty by virtue of ‘commiting’ an ‘abstract’ or merely forming an ‘emotional construct’ in God’s heart against them and yet are totally depraved as being swallowed by anti-Christ/Bel) are not excused by their ignorance.

God plainly says:

Isaiah 48:1-11 Hear ye this, house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, who swear by the name of Jehovah, and make mention of the God of Israel, not in truth, nor in righteousness. For they are named after the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel: Jehovah of hosts is his name. I have declared the former things long ago; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I caused them to be heard: I wrought suddenly, and they came to pass. Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass, so I have long ago declared them to thee; before they came to pass I caused thee to hear them ; lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, or my molten image hath commanded them. Thou heardest, see all this; –and ye, will not ye declare it ? I have caused thee to hear new things from this time, and things hidden, and that thou knewest not: they are created now, and not long ago; and before this day thou hast not heard them, lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them. Yea, thou heardest not, yea, thou knewest not, yea, from of old thine ear was not opened; for I knew that thou wouldest ever deal treacherously, and thou wast called a transgressor from the womb. For my name’s sake I will defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain as to thee, that I cut thee not off. Behold, I have refined thee, but not as silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. For mine own sake, for mine own sake, will I do it ; for how should my name be profaned? and I will not give my glory unto another.

Very plainly attempting to portray God as not the Creator of some portion of what exist in total reality is an attempt to take from Him His Own glory.

Jeremiah 33:2-3 Thus saith Jehovah the doer of it, Jehovah that formeth it to establish it, Jehovah is his name: Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and I will shew thee great and hidden things, which thou knowest not.

When God reveals new knowledge to His elect who are present on the earth, ALL of the elect, in heaven or on earth are only saved by being literal new creation in Jesus Christ and being washed in the blood of Jesus Christ, of God –not because they were formerly ignorant of some portion of God that they knew not enough concerning to supposedly ‘use it as an aid’ to ‘choice’ –or that they formerly denied because they were deceived that to admit it somehow slandered God. Thus God grants more wisdom and knowledge as Creating Speech/Himself and yet grows those whom He loves as grace while simultaneously adding more and more wrath to those who contiually say as non-creating speech that sin is an information problem within non-creating speech and that the ’saved’ ar effectively the ‘educated’ and yet no matter what they ‘learn’ they are never genuinely hear God as Word and are never born again.

Job 9:20-24 If I justified myself, mine own mouth would condemn me; were I perfect, he would prove me perverse. Were I perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life. It is all one; therefore I said, he destroyeth the perfect and the wicked. If the scourge kill suddenly, he mocketh at the trial of the innocent. The earth is given over into the hand of the wicked man ; he covereth the faces of its judges. If not, who then is it?

God Says through Job that He mocks at the trial of the innocent. A free willer will cringe to hear that as it annihilates his and her notion of a supposed emotional etiquette to which God is supposedly constrained in order to fit their own non-creating definition of Just and does away with any comparison of thier own heart’s emotional ‘common sense’ as compard to God’s Heart and God as Love. God Says what Job Said was Truth:

Job 42:7-8 And it came to pass after Jehovah had spoken these words to Job, that Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, Mine anger is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken rightly of me, like my servant Job. And now, take for yourselves seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt-offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you, for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, for ye have not spoken of me rightly, like my servant Job.

God gives the reprobate false wisdom and false knowledge and destroys them within it/anti-Christ.

Job 12:16-25 With him is strength and effectual knowledge; the deceived and the deceiver are his. He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and judges maketh he fools; He weakeneth the government of kings, and bindeth their loins with a fetter;He leadeth priests away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty; He depriveth of speech the trusty, and taketh away the judgment of the elders; He poureth contempt upon nobles, and slackeneth the girdle of the mighty; He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out into light the shadow of death; He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them; he spreadeth out the nations, and bringeth them in; He taketh away the understanding of the chiefs of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a pathless waste. They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunkard

Jeremiah 18:11 And now, speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I prepare evil against you, and devise a device against you: turn ye then every one from his evil way, and amend your ways and your doings.

If God, as He really Is confounds your false image of Him and confounds your thoughts of His Way, should it really confuse God or confound Him from Telling you Himself as Truth?

Zechariah 8:6 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: If it be wonderful in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be wonderful in mine eyes? saith Jehovah of hosts.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
