Grace unto you, and peace,
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Paul, notably "The Apostle" in the titles of epistles by "his witness unto all men" to the NT churches, and writer of more NT writings than all other NT writers combined, has a notable prayer theme which is notably in Ephesians, which is notably in the midst of such a twainy menorah seven as: Rom Cor Gal 'Eph' Phil Col Thes, and as "that Light" of this/that (lessor/greater) lights, clarified as the "greater" light who is (now) here, is (already) come, as "that" of such allegoric this/that, the light which rules the day (of God) of such night/day, the light that is also in the midst, just as the tree of life is "also" in the midst of the garden, and just as God our Father "in heaven" (since Abraham is our Father, but not in heaven, rather notably in an earthy hALL of shame: Heb 11: 13, 39)...

God, our Father "in heaven" is "also" merciful: Lk 6:36, which is "perfect": Mt 5:48, which ye are exhorted to be like, which is the "likeness" of "us" in the beginning, which is why(?) the Lord is longsuffering to "us-ward" in the end;

and such light (enlightenement, understanding), such "also" which shall "also" be told in Mk 14:9, such also that [of this/that], is that light intended to enlighten all (six) others (per let there be light, the sort having no darkness at all), three per side, losing nothing by doing sow, sowing only good(God) seed of twain seeds sown, only grace of law/grace, only life of death/life, (enlightening their understanding thereby with ample evidence to make it evident that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, and in accordance with all thy getting, get it: understanding, furhter clarified as the sort which when embraced results in thy head being crowned with "grace" glory, as exhorted by Solomon the wise guy in Proverb 4:7 of his plural Proverbs).

The prayer theme of Paul, also "his angel" in Revelation (who gets to play the last trump it), is: "the eyes of your understanding be enlightened" (Ephesians 1:18)...

and notably by "that Light" which is notably of "that God" who is now "that Spirit" of this/that lights (rulers of darkness/light), this/that(unwise/wise) Gods such as law/grace, this/that (false/true) spirits such as lie/truth, such first/second allegoric things both trying to spirit-u-all with death/life according to the non-existence/exisitence of "as in [first]Adam [of first/last Adams] all die", so in Christ [last Adam] shall all live... as if the two end results of the letter of the law, a ministration of death, killeth all, but the spirit of grace giveth life to all; God notably being the life giver, not taker of life; allegory: His grace is not the undertaker law was, but rather is firstly pure wisdom from above [pure grace has no law], and such peace-able is notably the 1st of 7 [pure] things in James 3:17, just as "pure" religion pays a "visit", not a king's ransom, in James 1:27; just as giving one a fish only cures their hunger for a day, but teaching one how to fish cures their hunger for ever.

Also in Ephesians, and cleverly in the midst of such seven as the word [singular] "of God" that "is" [of such was/is] "sharper" than any twoedged sword... Also in Eph Paul, also being a "faithful steward of the mysteries of God"... Paul The Apostle clarifies (and as if speaking "plainly" of the Father) that when the understanding is darkened (by adding law to grace), it's as being alienated from the life of God, and such is notably through "ignorance" (so another theme of Paul throughout all his epistles is: "I would NOT have YOU ignorant brethren", the "you" thereof such brethren all being the allegoric location of the entire kingdom of God, which JC allegorically noted is within "you", whom God hath forgiven: Eph 4, so for Christ's sake you all [an all which begins with you] oughta walk worthy of it, which is as walking foward, to us-ward, setting all your affection to up-right where Christ is "seated", allegorically denoting Moses' law vs His grace is settled, by the abolition of all law written in stone and ink, by the abolition of the law (singular), of commandments (plural), deleting Gen 2:17 of Gen 2: 16 -vs- 17, a LORD-God (CHILDISH-ADult) oxyMORON with a BAD ending: surely die; in other words no longer ignorantly add "law worketh wrath" to "my grace is sufficient for thee")... for grace is, law "added".

It's an "allegory" (Gal 4:24), and it was "written aforetime for our learning" (Rom 15:4), to learn that I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, meaneth I will have grace, and not law (for sacrifice is of the law); and no amount of lying, crying, dying will ever change what God is: merciful, nor his will to be such: the "living" God [of dead/living Gods such as law/grace], the "only wise God" [of foolish/wise Gods such as law/grace], the "only true God" [of false/true Gods such as law/grace], the God of "all grace" [no law at all], "that" God [of this/that Gods such as law/grace]; For "that God" is light, the sort having no darkness at all, which we have seen, heard, and declare unto you, and from the beginning where the end declared: "let there be light" (allegory: understanding). Such is "firstly" pure wisdom, from above, which is then peace-able, etc in James 1:17.

In Ephesians Paul also clarifies being un-wise is as mis-understanding what the will of the Lord is. Conversely being wise is understanding what the will of the Lord (now "that Spirit", the Spirit of grace, and truth thereof, and where that Spirit, there liberty, from ignorance, results in alienation from the "life" of God, which is notably not life + death, but life only; just as His grace is notably not grace + law, but grace only; just as His salvation is saved only, not saved + destroyed as them all in Jude 5).

What then is the will of the Lord?

Converted Peter, who concurs with all Paul's epistles, notes the will of the Lord is that none perish (from willing ignorance, which destroyed the entire first world of twain allegorically compared), but rather all come to repentance; For God winked at such ignorance (of children), but now commandeth all men (plural) to repent, be one, "man" kind, the perfect sort of man kind that Christ is: the end of the law, which had an expiry date, expired l-o-n-g ago. Furthermore God our saviour will have two things: all men saved AND aware what they're saved from: law, which was a ministration of condemnation and death to all, a schoolmaster witch failed every student thereof, both the source and strength of sin, which bringeth forth death to all (not some only).

That is "that light" which came to light all others, and in sow lighting all others, it looses nothing.

To "wit", "that God" was in "Christ"(the end of the law) reconciling the "world" (not some only) unto himself, NOT IMPUTING their trespasses unto them (2Cor 5:19)... and hath given "us" the "word" of reconciliation (obviously "grace", and truth thereof His grace canNOT lie, nor die). Selah.

The "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen. (notably such a "you all" begins with "you")

I saw this apostle paul in a vision, and he was about 5-10 tall and had short brwon straight hair, and I said to him, "why don't we see a manifestation of a son of God anymore"? Then I answered it, "because the people don't want it", and the apostle paul said, "yes"

Hey Bob,

Thanks for the intersting post.
Grace, Mercy, Peace unto you (of ye/you).

I see the manifestation of the Son of God in the fact peace 'is breaking out all over the world'... as that Light (understanding) of that God (that Spirit) goes forth, ever forward to us-ward, so that none perish, in the end of the God shew having no mention of law.

Gotta watch those visions, for sometimes they are like "night"(darkness) visions old Daniel had, and he was finally told to shut up (about such 'darkness'). For that God (of this/that Gods) is light, and in him there is no darkness at all; nor any 'shadow' (heb 10: 'law) of turning.

God never changes. It is we all who get "changed", from (blind) faith to (seeing) faith, from (law) glory to (grace) glory, from (Sinai) mtn to (Sion) mtn, by taking the grace walk thru the valley of the 'shadow' of death, as if "through" Jesus Christ, and as if through the cross to risen & seated with Christ: the end of the law, at the right hand of God, where it's all right and no left (behind) at all.

The "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

I'm wondering,,,what NEWS,,,you watch? ''Peace is breaking out'' world-wide???

christendom is a mess--and-the world is going nutz,,,,hmmmmmmm
but hey,theres all kindsa ''stats''' oh well
time will tell.

Hi Al,

Grace unto you, and peace,
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I watch all world (global) news, including independents and environmental stuff; Especially watch for global stats and any good news thereof.

For in Mk 13:37 JC said God said: "what I say unto you, I say unto all: Watch". Yet such is also allegoric for "you all" begins with "you", and whatever applies to "you" applies to "all" the KofG JC located within "you", especially if "there is no respect of persons with God", nor with Son of God.

Evidently, and based on global 'evidence', "peace is breaking out all around the world", with both the number of conflicts and number of casualties being on the decline, as reported and clarified by CBC News: http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2004/08/29/peace040829.html

And doing my own global observations, via global graphs and the global internet, I find a correlation between peace breaking out ww, and people ww getting the legalistic beam out of their own eye first: to see better how to get help from the throne of grace in time, and help others recover from opposing them-selves as oxy-morons, as children of Hatfields vs McCoys; Help brighten up their gloomy doomy vision (not add more gloom and doom to such).

Christendom is indeed in a state of spiritual adolescence, with fundamentalist christians, legalistic jews, and fanatical muslims running to and fro the earth with their adolescent law law. Will we survive it? Yes! Will we make it to Spiritual Adulthood? Yes! Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free is not optional, nor iffy.

There is hopeful evidence that more than a few, especially the ever growing number of Out of Church Christians, are now making their way to spiritual adulthood, by coming out from among them, and putting away childish things: laws; the hypocrisy, partiality, the oxymoronic lies thereof such broad and narrow ways of chilish-adults unaware there is a more excellent way to go on to: the new and living way which never fails, the greatest of three things.

If you're still wondering, perhaps you're giving place to "another wonder" (such as a seven headead dragon) appearing in heaven, and "another law" thereof; which only produces all manner of evil concupicence and makes adults, even priests, do wretched things. This too shall pass.

The "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
