Christian Clarity Review

Phil 2:12,13 So that, my beloved, even as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much rather in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you both the willing and the working according to his good pleasure.

Many, on hearing , as God Saying it to them that they do not have free will and that free will does not in truth exist for creatures and that even God has bound His free will as concerns the promises and oaths He has taken and will fulfill as concerns each of us and towards Satan and his hordes, such that He Says of Jesus Christ/Creating Speech:

Psalm 56:11-13 In God have I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can man do unto me? Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render thanks unto thee. For thou hast delivered my soul from death; wilt thou not keep my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

..simultaneosly hear another thought in the speech in which you grew up: anti-Christ. Anti-Christ tells you that because you don’t have free will, there is nothing to be done about your wickedness and that you must continue on as you are a bit deflated. That is, in the supposed admittance that you do not indeed have free will, the lie within your flesh immediately ( that has deceived you all your life that you were a free moral agent and ‘decision maker’ and thus “strong”) does all it can to deny that you have heard God and have been born again, are no longer one with your flesh and what is in your flesh, and to further make the Word of God not the understanding of God as His Spirit in you, but to seem, as an automatic “logic”, to make the Word of God for you an automatic hopelessness and weakness in order to literally put God as Word out of your mind. God plainly declares such an attack of anti-Christ against His Holy Spirit in you:

Galatians 5:17,18 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these things are opposed one to the other, that ye should not do those things which ye desire; but if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under law.

The opposing of the Spirit and what is in the flesh (anti-Christ/speech of sin/non-creating speech) is lyingly held forth by anti-Christ as the hopelessness, the weakness …that can be and must be rejected in order to live a full and happy life and as a denial of your new birth in Jesus Christ. Anti-Chrit denies you are a new being in the pretense your old being has been made merely weak by the Truth God is Speaking to you at all times. Anti-Christ denies there is any other speech than himself/herself and thus you have heard a supposed bad version of himself you must reject as if you could.

In Truth/Jesus Christ, you cannot reject God if He has chosen you and His very Speaking to you at all Speaks life into you as His Spirit and Word. He will fight the fight or you will die. It will appear to you as such a loss (the power you were deceived you had in what is now your former speech) as to be irrecoverable.

It is.

Those things that you were and had formerly in anti-Christ are abomination to God. They were ignorance and wickedness, not just “an alternative”. They will never come again if God is gracious to you. There is no ‘holy replacement’ of sin/wickedness or its effects. They are completely done away and you are already in eternal Life in Jesus Christ and separated from the world. Your former needs and desires were of anti-Christ and completely in conformity to his powerless as NON-creating speech/scarcity/never-enoughness/unfillment. YOur former understanding of pleasure and riches was completely founded on scarcity and NON-fulfillment as you know very well no matter how much you had of anything but Jesus Christ and total Trinity.

You were not made as a creature to be able to live in anti-Christ/non-creating speech as a creature forever. You were made to go through a stage of your existence in him to see the evil and to sin against God in it in order to be forgiven and changed –to witness the power of God on and in you. Yes that was for years, even decades. But your soul is immortal and was immortal before you knew it was immortal. That immortality was already there back when anti-Christ was saying through you, as if to permanently place morality and death as a ‘natural state’ of you: “We all just evolved from primordial goo and back to the goo we will go.”

God demonstrates Israel’s ignorance of Christ as Creating Speech through Israel: they assumed that God ‘had to use human language’ in order to communicate with Man and that ‘therefore’ God Himself was bound by having to use what is in truth anti-Christ to merely Speak –the very basis of anti-Christ’s saying:

Isaiah 47:10 For thou hast confided in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath seduced thee; and thou hast said in thy heart, It is I, and there is none but me.

So anti-Christ says to God as if the fundmental identity of Israel as if an authority over Israel when God Speaks to Israel:

Jeremiah 18:12 But they say, There is no hope; for we will walk after our own devices, and we will each one do according to the stubbornness of his evil heart.

..when God tells them as Creating Speech and as doing it in them to protect them the preceding verse:

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.

Anti-Christ through Israel said to God essentially: “You Say Your Word is our Life and that we have no free will. We believe you. You Say you are devising evil against us. We believe you. There is nothing we can do about it. We don’t have free will. It (our salvation from your wrath and our ever being happy and carefree) is hopeless. BECAUSE we believe what you say.”

Anti-Christ’s impiety and wickedness proceeded further still through Israel and Judah on the premise that as a result of true belief in God, all ( ..hope of being happy and carefree, which in their eyes was the only purpose of existence) was lost BECAUSE they didn’t have free will and couldn’t help but do evil:

Jeremiah 44:15 -30 Then all the men who knew that their wives burned incense to other gods, and all the women who stood by, a great assemblage, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying, As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of Jehovah, we will not hearken unto thee, but we will certainly do every word that is gone forth out of our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out drink-offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and we had plenty of bread, and were well, and saw no evil. But since we left off burning incense to the queen of the heavens, and pouring out drink-offerings to her, we have wanted everything, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine. And when we burned incense to the queen of the heavens and poured out drink-offerings to her, did we make for her cakes to portray her, and pour out drink-offerings to her, without our husbands? And Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people that had given him that answer, saying, Is it not the incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye and your fathers, your kings and your princes and the people of the land, that Jehovah remembered, and that came into his mind? And Jehovah could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations that ye had committed; and your land is become a waste, and an astonishment, and a curse, without inhabitant, as at this day. Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against Jehovah, and have not hearkened unto the voice of Jehovah, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil hath come upon you, as at this day. And Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear ye the word of Jehovah, all Judah that are in the land of Egypt. Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hands, saying, We will certainly perform our vows which we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out drink-offerings unto her. Ye will certainly establish your vows, and entirely perform your vows. Therefore hear ye the word of Jehovah, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt: Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith Jehovah, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, As the Lord Jehovah liveth. Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good; and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them. And they that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, a very small company; and all the remnant of Judah, that have come into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose word shall stand, mine or theirs. And this shall be the sign unto you, saith Jehovah, that I will punish you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall certainly stand against you for evil: thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will give Pharaoh-Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his life.

Through still others to this hour anti-Christ says: “We can’t help it. We’ve been appointed by God to believe that we have free will and to teach it as a monopoly in the Church! Predestination! ” or “I’ve been predestined to be confused!”

Doing the will of God is far beyond ‘getting serious’ or simply getting away from mockery of the Truth. It cannot be had at any price excepting the blood of Jesus Christ and newness of birth in Him, much less the price of an attention span and ‘emotional opportunity’ foregone as a ’sacrifice’.

Amos 8:3-7 And the songs of the palace shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord Jehovah. The dead bodies shall be many; in every place they shall be cast forth. Silence! Hear this, ye that pant after the needy, even to cause to fail the poor of the land, saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat? making the ephah small and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances for deceit: that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; and that we may sell the refuse of the wheat. Jehovah hath sworn by the glory of Jacob, Certainly I will never forget any of their works.

Doing the will of God must be done by God Himself. It is not enough to merely, as a rhetorical widget say : “Absolutely. No free will. I can’t help doing what I’m doing. After all, I don’t have free will. I believe!” in order to not do the will of God and as an effort to close the mouth of God. God is not mocked, nor is He powerless.

Isaiah 50:2-11 Wherefore did I come, and there was no man? I called, and there was none to answer? Is my hand at all shortened that I cannot redeem, or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make rivers a wilderness; their fish stink because there is no water, and die for thirst. I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering. The Lord Jehovah hath given me the tongue of the instructed, that I should know how to succour by a word him that is weary. He wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the instructed. The Lord Jehovah hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious; I turned not away back. I gave my back to smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair; I hid not my face from shame and spitting. But the Lord Jehovah will help me: therefore shall I not be confounded; therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. He is near that justifieth me: who will contend with me? let us stand together; who is mine adverse party? let him draw near unto me. Behold, the Lord Jehovah will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? Behold, they all shall grow old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up. Who is among you that feareth Jehovah, that hearkeneth to the voice of his servant? he that walketh in darkness, and hath no light, –let him confide in the name of Jehovah, and stay himself upon his God. Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and among the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of my hand: ye shall lie down in sorrow.

2Chronicles 16:9 For the eyes of Jehovah run to and fro through the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of those whose heart is perfect toward him…

In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
