Christian Clarity Review

Romans 8:38,39 For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

As being sent to them who see themselves not as a brotherhood but as a loose collective of “personal sovereignties”, but yet who in Jesus Christ are in every way a true brotherhood ( for who else can hear? If others hear it seems foolishness to them..) :

1 Corinthians 2:6-16 But we speak wisdom among the perfect; but wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who come to nought. But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, that hidden wisdom which God had predetermined before the ages for our glory: which none of the princes of this age knew, (for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;) but according as it is written, Things which eye has not seen, and ear not heard, and which have not come into man’s heart, which God has prepared for them that love him, but God has revealed to us by his Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. For who of men hath known the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? thus also the things of God knows no one except the Spirit of God. 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.

You cannot understand you have no free will unless you have been born again in Jesus Christ. The best you can hope for minus that actual and non-metaphorical new birth in Him is a cycle of hopelessness based on your belief that you have free will –and so does everyone else and thus you are not powerful in comparison to their collective of free will.

You are not a robot. No one ever said you were.The false accusation that God “implied” you were a robot is just that ..a false accusation. You know you are not a robot. Everyone perfectly understands they are not robots.

The disadvantage of understanding you have no free will is simply that a lot of people are deceived they do and so “you do too” and in your understanding you are literally set apart from them in a permanent way minus their new birth in Jesus Christ; that setting apart brings from the spirit in them, who is anti-Christ, derision and mockery against you that cannot stop. ( that is, it has no free will and cannot be “bought off” by any means –it CAN’T stop ..not “it WON’T stop” ).

So, the Advantages ( Graces ) :

1. You are delivered from a cycle of vain-to-be-hopeless that goes: 1. “I have free will and therefore am personally strong and powerful.” 2. “Everyone else has free will “too”" 3. “Because I can’t control other people’s free will and they are so many and I am only one, I actually have no personal power at all because I must live around them.”
2. You are delivered from self-imposed tyranny that goes 1. I have free will and am therefore personally strong and powerful. 2. But other people have free will too. 3. Because I am only one and they are many, yet we have “pooled our personal sovereignties into one big powerful bloc” we can elect over us those who will most reflect our desires. But since we have to contend with other blocs of pooled sovereignties, we must give up some of our personal sovereignty in order to live in safety in the world. The more dangerous we even mis-perceive they are, the more personal sovereignty we have to give up to safeguard the part of our personal sovereignty that is left. We have to give up more and more as time goes by because those other blocs are reacting off of us to do the same, and as a collective we are all free willers contending over who’s free will will remain free-est. We can’t get out of having free will ( God gave it/forced it on us per our religious portion of the doctrine of free will.. ) and thus a drift into tyranny and dictatorship to safeguard tiny bits of free will/personal-sovereignty is the inevitable human condition.”

   Because you don’t have free will, there is nothing to be protected in that manner. No one can steal it from you. You can’t steal it from anyone else. I.E. In a permanent way we have freedom FROM each other because we do not have the freedom to overthrow each other. Thus we are a brotherhood, each of whom is equivalently powerLESS against each other.

3. Personal identity is secured forever. You know that you have no need of distinguishing yourself because you have no ability to manufacture an identity “from the available ideas or ideology” “in the age in which you walked on the earth” ..or at all. You know that God has created you and maintained you in a personal uniqueness beyond anything you or any other creature understands as knowledge concerning total reality. You cannot abrogate or grow your own fundamental identity. You CAN’T get rid of it. No one can take it from you as it is maintained by God and not you or anyone else. ( that would be the “certain inalienable rights” portion of the Declaration of Independence. ) It isn’t just other people can’t “mess with your worth or identity”. You can’t get out of them either.

Sidebar:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with inherent and inalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.” –Declaration of Independence as originally written by Thomas Jefferson, 1776. ME 1:29, Papers 1:315

Note the above has no implication of the commonly applied term of free willers to it of “civil rights”. “Civil rights” are supposed rights/figments-of-imagination completely “independent from God” ) granted by a ‘government’ ( as a supposed and falsely idealized collective of free willers giving portions of their “personal sovereignty” away to form a monolithic and living “x” that is falsely idealized to have free will and “personal sovereignty” of its own as if it were alive and the equivalent of a supra-human being.. ( that in ages past was called the “(insert-ideolized-power)” that fell from heaven”..) ) that then disperses some of “its” own “sovereignty” back to certain sets of citizens in such a manner as to make it seem they are all “equal” by whatever definition of “equal” “it” sets up given the available ideology of that day or era and is also falsely idealized to be able to “enforce” those rights on certain citizens and against others.

Such a false idealization of Just government as the disperser of identity and thus accompanying “rights” that would be necessary to maintain that identity can only begin and end in tyranny because the whole is simply a compounding of lies that defines itself as the truth no matter what it does ..for its own sake. While the people may be somewhat “religious” and say “God gave them the government” they intend in every way a non-creating God ( i.e. no “Creator” but only a “Dispenser of what already exists” ) supposedly gave THEM powers of creation such that they have a ‘responsibility” to manufacture a “perfect” government for themselves –and like creatures. The citizens involved in having made that “government” cannot dissent as to do so invalidates their lens on reality, their emotional response set and their religion. Not only so, but that false idealization of “government-has-free will- “too”"must necessarily rely on the the false perception of scarcity among its populace as the direct means of seeming to manufacture and hand out individuality: each uniqueness/individuality can only be seen as scarce and a thus functional kind of money. Thus the very definition of individuality by that “government” and off of which it operates as fuel is based on the very thing that IS the tyranny: limitation as scarcity that in reality does not exist but in which all of life is forced to “include” as if it does. Such a people fallen in that government-defines-”civil rights” will be wise and vain in their own eyes to destroy themselves and everyone around them.

Such had been the case prior to the Magna Carta and the Declaration of Independence. Only in the past one hundred and fifty years in the United States has the old tyranny ( of that falsely idealized “government as supra-human with “free will”" from which the fathers escaped taken hold once more with the very same results it always has: a people vain to be hopeless and who help out the tyranny that binds them.

..end sidebar. Continuing with “Advantages/Graces of understanding you have no free will”:

• You are delivered from ALL lies and deception in total reality as to your fundamental identity and being, not simply the lies you have come to understand are lies. I.E. You cannot be “taken apart”/disassembled and rearranged ideologically by anything past, present or future, to include government. You can’t “become ascended” –or miss out on “ascending”. You can’t mess up/”break” falsely idealized “civil rights” for yourself or anyone else. You can’t be a tyranny on anyone else and no one can be a tyranny on you.

• You are not subject to the lies that operate as the common sense of the world and those fallen in it. For instance:
  • their notion of money as something that must serve in some way free will in general else it is useless yet which always ends in human souls subject to money as if “man was made for Money”
  • their notion of what reality is and can be in order to keep intact a lie of free will: you are not blinded by their ’science’ or the limitations/conclusions of it and can see what God shows you. They will never find, in all their searching anything that includes something that proves their will is not free. All physical reality must be defined by them to be that perfect environment in which free will “can” and thus “does” exist. They cannot see anything in reality to be any other way. All they do is “scientifically prove” to themselves that ..they have “free will”.. over and over. Once in that trap, they cannot escape, no matter how it may seem they arrive at some new “proof” that is supposedly independent as a “new” area that might offer hope to relieve the effects of their illusions. You are delivered from ALL their delusions.
  • You can’t falsely idealize “nature” so as to destroy your own agriculture and food supply in an attempt to make it better
  • You can’t kill other people or yourself on the supposed basis of scarcity ( as if there were always “too many people chasing too few resources” ( as in Never Enough! ..emotion, time, food, clothing, shelter, land, children, religion, oil/energy, “free will”, etc.. )
• You can live a life devoid of a multitude of laws and limitations that exist expressly to supposedly keep one free willer off another. You can have a tiny, yet robust government while they must have a huge, ineffective government whose only real power and efficacy is to tyrannize the citizens. As well, you can be a deliverer from God to them to set them free from exactly the very government they were deceived into manufacturing over themselves and do so without ever trampling on them or being unjust yourself.
• Your military will not be a group of people waiting on orders from somewhere else to act for the defense of the people. As a brotherhood-in-the-field, each one is his own unique contribution as God acts through us in whatever ways He will do so and minus our own limitations. The enemy will not be able to plan out how to fight you given that you will not even know what God is going to do next through you. ( you won’t have a “doctrine” you always follow and so can be defeated by the enemy merely reading your doctrinal manuals. )
• You cannot be deceived you are jut one big heart and flesh that needs only food and emotion to survive. You cannot be deceived you are anything less than a spirit, with an immortal soul, with a heart and mind that is not its flesh but lives in ( at present) corrupt flesh as a total human being. As a new creature in Jesus Christ you understand you are not trying, because you have no ability to “be better” than yourself or anyone else. As such you cannot fall for the lie that someone else has “ascended” and you can follow them IF, with “your free will” or with “part of their free will given to you”, you do as they say.
• You cannot be deceived that only non-creating speech exists in total reality and that speech can never be anything more than a tool of the free will as part of that ideal environment which must exist in order for free will to exist. You understand the distinction between the Word of God/Logos/Jesus Christ/Creating Speech and anti-Christ/non-creating speech.
• You are given genuine compassion on those deceived they have free will and understand they not only cannot know what true compassion is so long as they stay in that lie of free will, but cannot have it toward any no matter the amount of churchianity they perform toward others day and night.
• You cannot speak endlessly and never arrive at the truth that stops speech. God as your speech creates as He wills. You cannot have a love of mere discourse as if everyone were equivalently “using” a widget of “free will” as language simply to demonstrate their personal power because of the effects of a common deception of “personal free will equals powerlessness among a population of free willed beings” and speech is the only supposed exception to that rule but only in the instant it is “used”.

Some free willer humor as an aside:

You might be a free willer if:

• Your favorite part of the movie, after all the “decisions” have been made at all the “critical intersections of events” is when someone says “We got no choice!”. You wonder why they were miraculously saved in the end anyway and yet say “that ending could not have happened in real life.”
• Your favorite part of the political process is when all the “choices” are over; that there is a conclusion to a process for its own sake so that you can start another process of “choice to no choice/selection”. You want no term limits so that you don’t have to go through that political junk over and over.
• You are walking toward the voting booth thinking you would vote for who you really know is the right candidate, but all the other free willers would laugh at you if they found out –so you “can’t”.
• You think “rights” are a limited thing someone else must list for you and are time sensitive: after they have “somehow” been “used up”, “given away” and/or “stolen” can’t ever come again given the mortality of your flesh and some mysterious particulars about rights themselves. After all, even if they do come again after you have departed the flesh, what good are they to you?
• As you stare at dozens of brands of ..bottled water for instance, you don’t consider competition keeps prices down but only that is a great thing you as a consumer have “choice” for its own sake
• You want lots of money and cheap goods, no matter other costs to you and others merely to keep up the process of choosing on-going at all times and as proof of personal sovereignty. Lacking that money and cheap goods you equate to actual poverty no matter the plenty you have.
• The steps through you to do away with “poverty” idealized to be a lack of lots of money and cheap goods only does away with the “freedom” you thought you were saving and the actual plenty in which you were living.
• You look yourself in the mirror and say “Damn. I’m a genius.” and think of yourself as qualified to give out awards for the genius and bravery of to others like yourself.
• You “recognize” prison the instant you “get there”. It’s just like they described; constraint/lack of everything in the midst of plenty that other people can get and enjoy in front of you.
• As your land and family is invaded and your people killed, your leaders are traitors and ringleaders of foreign peoples in sedition against you, you say “I have free will and therefore can do nothing.”

Colossians 3:1-4 If therefore ye have been raised with the Christ, seek the things which are above, where the Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God: have your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth; for ye have died, and your life is hid with the Christ in God. When the Christ is manifested who is our life, then shall *ye* also be manifested with him in glory.

1John 4:14-21 And *we* have seen, and testify, that the Father has sent the Son as Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. And *we* have known and have believed the love which God has to us. God is love, and he that abides in love abides in God, and God in him. Herein has love been perfected with us that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, that even as *he* is, *we* also are in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has torment, and he that fears has not been made perfect in love. *We* love because *he* has first loved us. If any one say, I love God, and hate his brother, he is a liar: for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he that loves God love also his brother.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
