Hi friend thanks for the reply.
I would offer first and foremost God is not served by corrupted, dying humans hands after the will of men . But does move men according to the good power of pleasure of His will. (Philippians 2) Some murmur other delight to do the will of God .Yoked with Christ their burden is made lighter .and are given a future hope beyond the grave. The power of the gospel
1 Peter 1:20-21 Knowing this
first, that no
prophecy of the
scripture is of any private interpretation. For the
prophecy came not in old time by the
will of man: but
holy men of God spake as
they were
moved by the
Holy Ghost.
If we would accredit the unseen work of Christ's gospel giving it over to the flesh of men, then it would seem things get turned up side down , after the philosophies of men inspired from the earth . . . many gods in the likeness of mankind. . as many as the stars at night . And therefore not after the will of God. . the will with power to believe and strengthen. We pray His will be done. Not the will of many gods in the likeness of mankind.
Even though the heavens declare the glory of God its speaks not a word of His love or attributes. (dead witness.) . It reminded me of the golden ark of the covenant , gold representing the measure faith, the unseen used in the Bible . Moses was to place the Bible on the outside of the golden God's law as it is written revealed mystery inside the hidden mana, Aarons rod and the tablets . . not a philopshical theory of mankind ,again it as a living word revealed what was inside .
Deuteronomy 31:26 Take this
book of the
law, and put it
in the side of the
ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for a witness
against thee.
God knew that after Moses died they would chase after the philosophies of man . So the Spirit of Christ placed it there to be against us so that we do not do what the flesh would seek after . A lifetime work yoked with Christ .
We walk by the faith that comes from hearing the gospel as it is written . Not like the star gazers or wonderers which some were before the gospel was reveled according to
The gospel the power of one God not seen God is not a man and neither is there any fleshly infallible interpreter that stands between God bot seen and mankind seen
In many parables the abiltlty to walk as a metaphor is used to teach us how to walk by faith or understand what God's interpretation to us is saying to the churches .
Acts 14: 7 -14And there they
preached the
gospel. And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his
feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who
never had walked: The
same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that
he had
faith to be
healed, Said with a loud voice,
Stand upright on thy feet. And
he leaped and
walked. And when
the people saw what Paul had done,
they lifted up
their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The
gods are come down to
us in the
likeness of men. And they called
Barnabas, Jupiter; and
Paul, Mercurius, because he was the
chief speaker. Then the
priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people. Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,
Nothing is attributed the hands of mankind .Like Paul stated in 1 Corinthians 4 .What do we have that we have not freely received and if we have why would we desire to venerated as a false god . Can't judge a book by its covering and more than the flesh .
