God’s free will and the skin off His back

Anti-Christ as non-creating speech has spoken contradictorily ( against what he formerly said as making it a lie..) concerning God’s free will. He has said variously that God has free will and then that God doesn’t.

God has bound part of His free will in oaths to the elect and wrath to the non-elect.

So part of His free will is bound by His Own Word. Yet God is not bound even though He must perform what He has Said and cannot lie. God is not bound because He is the Only Creating Speech and can create the circumstances by which what He has Said will come to pass to conform to His total freedom. Thus even in the grace of God and in assurance of salvation and eternal life, ( and in the truth and reality of once saved always saved..once born again always born again) the Fear of God remains: God in no way gives up being God to His elect by exempting us from eternal wrath; He gives up none of His power or glory in being merciful.

Lucifer thought to bind God in God’s Word: to catch God in God’s Own Word as if God’s Word were the equivalent of Lucifer’s speech.

But God put that speech in Lucifer to begin with and makes plain the distinction between Him as Word and non-creating speech far in advance of the Temptation. For God had already given His Word and Said what is written as the Holy Scriptures of the Old Testament as that Testament; a fact God makes very plain in simply saying “it is written..”

Matthew 4:1-11 Then Jesus was carried up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted of the devil: and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he hungered. And the tempter coming up to him said, If thou be Son of God, speak, that these stones may become loaves of bread. But he answering said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word which goes out through God’s mouth. Then the devil takes him to the holy city, and sets him upon the edge of the temple, and says to him, If thou be Son of God cast thyself down; for it is written, He shall give charge to his angels concerning thee, and on their hands shall they bear thee, lest in anywise thou strike thy foot against a stone. Jesus said to him, It is again written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Again the devil takes him to a very high mountain, and shews him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory, and says to him, All these things will I give thee if, falling down, thou wilt do me homage. Then says Jesus to him, Get thee away, Satan, for it is written, Thou shalt do homage to the Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve. Then the devil leaves him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him.

First God gives the Old Testament as real history: the events are performed and then written down and also written down to be performed later ( prophecy ). All was and is a predetermined outcome as a blessing on all God’s children and a point being made of it ALL being predetermined. ( let not the scoffers say that all are God’s children. God plainly says as His Word that while He created all, not all are His children.

John 8:42-47 Jesus said to them, If God were your father ye would have loved me, for I came forth from God and am come from him ; for neither am I come of myself, but *he* has sent me. Why do ye not know my speech? Because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of the devil, as your father, and ye desire to do the lusts of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks falsehood, he speaks of what is his own; for he is a liar and its father: and because I speak the truth, ye do not believe me. Which of you convinces me of sin? If I speak truth, why do ye not believe me? He that is of God hears the words of God: therefore ye hear them not, because ye are not of God.

and

1John 4:4-6 *Ye* are of God, children, and have overcome them, because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. *They* are of the world; for this reason they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. *We* are of God; he that knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. From this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

Going still further than simply outpowering Lucifer for the mere exercise of it, God demonstrates to us that those circumstances over which He has total control as being Creating Speech and can literally create His way out of any bind a creature may have thought to bind Him in, that He loves us AND can forgive the soul who thought to bind Him if He wants: He doesn’t “have” to have wrath as some kind of automatic emotional response to the attempt of the creature in that non-creating speech to bind Him: His heart is as free as the rest of Him. For He does not take any way out of the bind that is personally pleasurable, even though He plainly could. He could have merely created circumstances that would have made all the prophecy come true and never been inconsistent with Himself. Instead He takes a way out of the bind as demonstrating it was a bind –it was an attempt on the part of creatures to get out from under His power as an implicit accusation there was some better existence to be had other than in His Presence — that He had brought about the bind itself by giving Lucifer the non-creating speech and the literal, real common sense that goes with it and that it was not necessary for Him to always appear strong to the common sense of Lucifer to still be God.

In Lucifer’s common sense, one who wants to be known as God can never afford to actually be humble as that would make Him seem weak in Lucifer’s mind and heart and can never afford to die. That God would set up circumstances to demonstrate His absolute power in such a manner as to literally be beaten and lose skin off His back in being scourged and then actually killed demonstrates absolute power and unrestrained use of it. God doesn’t care about being a fool in Lucifer’s eyes for a time or even never making sense to Lucifer or those in the lake of fire and simultaneously demonstrates His Love as a power and does so in a manner as to be perfectly clear so that Himself as Love cannot in any way be confounded with Lucifer’s non-creating version of “love” that is bound up with death.

God creates two loves and deprecates one of them: the one that is not Himself: He creates a common sense that is no sense and gives it whom He wills.

Thus Lucifer’s temptations are always an appeal to his own non-creating version of strength, attempts to re-validate his own common sense to himself and others: to get the tempted to overpower as obvious-to-Lucifer answer-in-kind –in the same non-creating love/spirit and non-creating emotional common sense in which the temptation is thrown.

“Overpower me” is the most common, even universal temptation of anti-Christ through women against men for a reason. Men that fall for it are those that become in the end, wife-beaters and abusers playing out the over-powering they were at the first tempted by Lucifer through the woman as a spirit.

Only God as Love actually overpowers evil. The skin off His back as Jesus Christ and His death and resurrection proved it. He openly showed His power and literally made a show of trumping any other love or wisdom but Himself. Lucifer’s non-creating love IS evil.

Col 2:13-19 And you, being dead in offences and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he has quickened together with him, having forgiven us all the offences; having effaced the handwriting in ordinances which stood out against us, which was contrary to us, he has taken it also out of the way, having nailed it to the cross; having spoiled principalities and authorities, he made a show of them publicly, leading them in triumph by it. Let none therefore judge you in meat or in drink, or in matter of feast, or new moon, or sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. Let no one fraudulently deprive you of your prize, doing his own will in humility and worship of angels, entering into things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by the mind of his flesh, and not holding fast the head, from whom all the body, ministered to and united together by the joints and bands, increases with the increase of God.

Those in non-creating speech have a will. It is their own. But it isn’t free.

We in Christ have a will. It is our own. But it is not free becuase God IS His Word and is not at all will-neutral as Word/Spirit. Thus He SAYS:


James 4:4-10 Adulteresses, know ye not that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore is minded to be the friend of the world is constituted enemy of God. Think ye that the scripture speaks in vain? Does the Spirit which has taken his abode in us desire enviously. But he gives more grace. Wherefore he says, God sets himself against the proud, but gives grace to the lowly. Subject yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners, and purify your hearts, ye double-minded. Be wretched, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he shall exalt you.

..n9ot as giving will-neutral instructions that a “free” willed creature must heed –or not — but as Creating what He Says in us as obedience while simultaneously blinding those not truly of Christ that they have free will because of Lucifer’s common sense of what language has to be in order for the will to be free.

The robotic laws of Lucifer as the lie of free will are plainly:

1. I have free will because I want to

2. all things in total reality must then be and remain at all times will-neutral as regards me in order for me to have free will

3. therefore I will define all things in total reality –to include God– as will-neutral

4. since I can and have defined all things as will-neutral I therefore have free will

All the intricate speech concerning those particular definitions of will-neutral everything over millennia follow from the initial lie of having free will and as a result of being encapsulated in non-creating speech/anti-christ in which the Love that God IS makes no sense ..and as a net to catch souls for the lake of fire as if there were no distinction between that net and total reality.

—————————

1John 4:17-21 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
