Working for God on earth doesn`t pay much…

All the ecclesia in the NT received IMMEASURABLE SPIRIT - JOY , PEACE, RIGHTEOUSNESS (ON EARTH),

and they all walked in UNION WITH JESUS, as ONE WITH HIM, and with the FATHER,

as JESUS PRAYED IN JOHN 17,  and as shown ALL through ACTS and the EPISTLES.

SO,  I'd NOT say that "doesn't pay much" -

the wicked never have peace,  nor joy, nor ever get to see the spiritual, nor heaven,

while the righteous always do, as written, throughout all the NEW TESTAMENT,  et al. (OT TOO) .....

albeit , yes,  in the world, you will have much persecution if , everyone who stands for JESUS/ TRUTH/ what is RIGHT.

Cutsey spiritual as it is it sounds , it seems like something along the lines of the emergent church movement that promotes  a  superficial feel good spirituality over biblical truth.   

Hi Davida,

I hear what you are saying however I believe you need to back up your claim - `over Biblical truth.` Can you share how you see that is not true in the above `pictorial` representation of the `sin problem.`

regards, Marilyn.

  You will not like my take, that is a given. Sorry, but I won't be backing up my opinion. I really didn't want to read it again. I find the whole description is a failed attempt at being whimsical and droll, trying to sound spiritual but they are actually misrepresenting true Christianity while they do it. It trivializes the meaning of the Gospel & the process of sanctification that takes place in born again believers. I makes light of the doctrine of hell.  We are not manufactured units we are made in the image & likeness of God.  Jesus is not a repair technician. Sin is not a defect it is a choice. I find it disrespectful and frankly I could see this just as easily written by non-Christians who wanted to mock Christ & Christians. I do not think we should make light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ & the way of salvation. I don't think we should be irreverent and imprecise when we handle  or communicate what is in the scripture.  

I believe Galations 1:8 applies.

Hi Davida,

I did not write the `recall,` but see it as a pictorial representation of the sin problem as I said. It does not make light of anything. It is quite graphic saying that SIN is rebellion and idolatry. It also says that JESUS paid the price for our sin.

If you have trouble with that then you would seem to not like `...a Lamb as though it had been slain having seven horns and seven eyes...`(Rev. 5: 6) You perhaps would think that pictorial representation, too gory and fanciful, and worthy of animal rights attention.

Marilyn.

Obviously I have no problem with BIBLE SCRIPTURE since I defended it.  My problem is with the bad representation of the Gospel & Christianity as I said as clearly as possible. Btw, never thought you wrote it although by your comment above I see you are taking my criticism of it personal even when you are the one that asked me to share.   

I find your snide stab at me- "then you would seem to not like"- REV 5:6" --Is very unbecoming of you. 

Good bye.

Hi Davida,

I thought you would go that way. So...... your minister never uses contemporary illustrations to present some truth of the word?  Does every word from your lips be just scripture? Don`t be absurd. Of course we all have no problem with God`s word. You seem to think people can`t have contemporary illustrations.

Also it was not `a snide stab at you` but an example from scripture of a pictorial illustration bringing out ONE aspect, and not meant to represent the whole.

BTW I do realise that you and miss muffet do look to `have a go` at me when you can, and not really discuss God`s word. That is not Christ like behaviour. God`s word says we need to `be gentle to ALL, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition,....` (2 Tim. 2: 24 & 25)

Marilyn.

A fun creative piece, I wouldn't get too serious over it gang.

Taken  from...

Thanks Yowm,

didn`t know that, just got it from a friend and wanted to share. I thought it was a good contemporary pictorial illustration to help non believers understand the big picture of our sin and God`s answer - Jesus.

I had to address a slanderous comment and now it has been dealt with. Gone....

M. C. You have a kind heart and I understand your attempt at lighthearted and even humorous ideas. I am sure you have a very good idea of what this means to some by now.

We often more readily say stuff on here due to safety. If we were face to face, most would be far more circumspect.

Davida has some very good points as well, and technically speaking, I agree more with that take than the OP.

Whatever we do and however we attempt to accomplish that, it will never be wholly acceptable to all of us at any one given moment in time. 

Thanks for the post and the ideas. I think that we are (of necessity sometimes) rather prescriptive and so sometimes the platitudes seem appropriate. Being sometimes poetic and at other times quite whimsical and obtuse, I can see that some people would like the blase approach. I do not favor this simplistic and comic idea though. For Chick Tracts, maybe. But for serious discussion - I do not think so.

RECALL NOTICE

The Maker of all human beings (GOD) is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year, due to a serious defect in the primary and central component of the heart. This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units, code named Adam & Eve, resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units. This defect has been identified as `Sub sequential Internal Non-morality,` more commonly known as S.I.N., as it is primarily expressed.

 

Some of the symptoms include:

 

  1. Loss of direction

  2. Foul vocal emissions

  3. Amnesia of origin

  4. Lack of peace and joy

  5. Selfish or violent behaviour

  6. Depression or confusion

  7. Fearfulness

  8. Idolatry

  9. Rebellion

The Manufacturer, who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is providing factory-authorized repair and service free of charge to correct this defect.

The Repair Technician, JESUS, has most generously offered to bear the entire burden of the staggering cost of these repairs. There is no additional fee required.

The number to call for repair in all areas is: P-R-A-Y-E-R. Once connected, please upload your burden of SIN through the REPENTANCE procedure. Next, download ATONEMENT from the Repair Technician, Jesus, into your heart component.

 

No matter how big or small the SIN defect is, Jesus will replace it with:

 

  1. Love

  2. Joy

  3. Peace

  4. Patience

  5. Kindness

  6. Goodness

  7. Faithfulness

  8. Gentleness

  9. Self control

Please see the operating manual, the B.I.B.L.E. (BEST Instructions Before Leaving Earth) for further details on the use of these fixes.

 

WARNING: Continuing to operate the human being unit without correction voids any manufacturer warranties, exposing the unit to dangers and problems too numerous to list, and will result in the human unit being permanently impounded. For free emergency service, call on Jesus.

 

DANGER: The human being units not responding to this recall action will have to be scrapped in the furnace. The SIN defect will not be permitted to enter heaven so as to prevent contamination of that facility. Thank you for your attention!

  • GOD

P.S. Please assist where possible by notifying others of this important recall notice, and you may contact the Father any time by `Knee mail.`

Because He lives!

 

Working for God on earth doesn`t pay much…..but His retirement plan is out of this world!

 

I so loved this. What do you think? Marilyn.

 

the way this is described in technical language seems very successful, but i feel obliged to inform you that it is not exactly due to a defect in the heart, it is due to the absolutely indefinite existence/presence of the so-called "darkness" in the universe - the soul is the unit of the consumption of life, while God is the system Administrator and Provider of life - the difference between God and the souls is like the difference between a transmitter and receivers

Blessings

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
