*40 God is the foundation for all ability.

The Christian who is in Christ, judges what they can do by the measure of God’s ability in them. Can God jump or scale over a high city wall? Yes! Does God have the ability to tear down the huge gates that belong to a city? Absolutely. Then the believer can. “For with you I can charge a troop, and with my God I can scale a wall, (Psalm 18:29 LEB). “Samson … took hold of the doors of the town gate, including the two posts, and lifted them up, bar and all,” (Judges 16:3 NLT). Can a man sold as a slave end up as the second most powerful man in all Egypt? Humanly no. But with God’s ability there is nothing impossible for God’s beloved Children. Can God’s shadow heal people? Does man have this ability? “As a result of the apostles’ work, sick people were brought out into the streets on beds and mats so that Peter’s shadow might fall across some of them as he went by,” (Acts 5:15 NLT). In fact, it is a command, not a suggestion, that Christians grab hold of God’s ability and force and wield it as their own. A Christian is to be a new and different creation. They are not to wield their strength; rather they are to operate in this life with God’s power. “A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power,” (Eph 6:10 NLT).

*41

The term fundamentalist in context of worldview arguments is misleading, because everyone is a fundamentalist regarding their first principle of knowledge. The issue is if the first principle you are fundamentally adhering to is able to produce any knowledge or make knowledge possible. If it is not the scripture, then what is it? Is it empiricism? But empiricism is a logical fallacy. Induction, which is used in empiricism is a fallacy, and scientific experimentation (affirming the consequent, and an unsound use of modus tollens) is also a fallacy. Anyone who uses such foundations should be mocked and dismissed.

*42 

“‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons.” Matthew 10:7-8 NIV

“But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.” Matthew 12:28 NIV

“For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power.”
I Corinthians 4:20

 How can you be part of God’s Kingdom if you don’t do Kingdom activities? How can you be in the Kingdom if you do not expel the kingdom of darkness by the power of God’s Spirit? If you don’t participate in God’s Kingdom then you are part of Satan’s Kingdom, because if you are not with Jesus, you scatter against Him.

What good is it to preach repentance of sins, if your pastor and leaders do not operate in the Kingdom of God? They are reprobates deceiving other reprobates, telling each other they are safe from judgment.

*43 Exchange Sin for Pain?

I saw a recent video from Mark Driscoll. The context was men fighting sexual temptation. His ending remarks for how to do this was “learn to exchange pleasure for pain.” This is called masochism.

Such an admission is autobiographic, and not what scripture teaches. Paul does say he beats his body into submission, but also says that the kingdom of God is joy, peace and believing by the Holy Spirit. The exchange from the old man is the new man, created in the knowledge of Christ Jesus. It is not, “take, off the old man, and put on pain.” Mark’s advice is masochism. We put on the power of the Holy Spirit who in direct exchange gives us joy and peace by believing the truth. Sin is not a feeling, it is intellectual. It is disobeying a commandment of God. We put off the old man, and put on the new. The new man is the knowledge of God and the power of the Spirit that causes us to believe this revelation. When the Spirit causes us to believe the truth, it gives us joy and peace, not pain.

The Spirit is stronger than sin. The joy and peace from the power of the Spirit is stronger and swallows up any pain. This is how it is suppose to be. Part of believing the truth is believing the many benefits that come from God’s good promises. God promises in a blood contract to write His laws on our hearts so that obeying is a joy. He promises to do this, not that we do it. He promises us good things, such as wives who obey God, by enjoying sex like the Songs of Solomon teaches. He promises so many good things.

Look, if masochism is the only way to stop you from adultery, then I guess that is your only choice, but do not suppose it is spiritual or how the bible tells you to defeat sinful temptations. When we fear God and realize we are off the path, there is nothing wrong with exerting some will power to run back on the path, but if we are to completely obey God’s command on the matter, you must be energized by joy and peace by the Spirit. Only Turing back because of fear or pain is only partial obedience; it is not true obedience to God. On the day of judgment, anything that is not silver, gold and gems, will be burnt away.

To avoid adultery or porn is only avoiding the negative, it is a start; however, to obey the command you must obey it with joy, and peace by the Power of the Spirit, and not by “pain,” otherwise it still remains straw and will burn away in the judgment. Never settle for anything less than the glory promised you in all of God promises. For example, giving God praises, even in a trial of sickness. The promise is that Jesus already bore our sickness on the cross, and if we ask in faith, we will be healed. Thus, taking off the old man, is to take off the knowledge, that we must remain in sickness and pain. The new man, by the Power of the Spirit, is filled with joy by believing they have already been healed by Jesus’ finished atonement. As with the Israelites, the walls fall down, after you praise God for making them fall.

This statement by Driscoll is another example why experience is such a horrible teacher.

*44 I am Attacking Your Entire Worldview

John MacArthur starts his sermon, “the modern blaspheme of the Holy Spirit,” by stating he is contradicting what the scripture teaches. He correctly says the passage teaches if you attribute what the Spirit does to Satan, then you commit the unforgivable sin. But today it means the contradiction or opposite of this, which is, if you attribute what the devil or mere humans do to the Spirit you commit the sin.

 At least he tells us that he contradicts what Jesus teaches and so it’s easy to dismiss and mock such a fool. However some still are deceived, despite him saying he teaches the opposite. If people willfully allow themselves to be so easily deceived then they deserve to reap its corruption. We do pray for God’s mercy on those who have not committed this sin.

 As to the last part of John’s statement, it is misleading. Also the discerning of spirits is itself a gift. The miracles of the Spirit gives healing, tongues and favor and various miracle without troubles added to it. Satan comes to destroy, give sickness and kill. The works of these two are very different, and a child could tell the difference.

In fact Jesus healed all those oppressed with sickness, which came from Satan. Thus it is possible to attribute the sickness which came from Satan to Jesus or the Spirit. But it is the religious elites, who do this, not the charismatics

My response to a cessationist who thought I was merely attacking MacArthur’s character.

“You are taking my position too lightly. I am not merely attacking your character I am attacking your entire worldview, that has lied to you, telling you that you are safe and saved. Cessationism likely and regularly leads to the blaspheme of the Spirit.

For more see the master’s desk. (https://vincentcheung.com/download/UNPARDONABLE.pdf…)

People like MacArthur are reprobates who believe in an anti-Christian worldview. They have committed the unforgivable sin. At this point, they are dismissed and mocked, because they have no hope in this life or the next. My job as a Christian is warn others not to throw away their souls like he has.

*45  What is Humility ?

The man, who beat his chest in Jesus’ parable, was humble and respectful in the right way, in the context it was given; however, the woman, with the flow of blood problem, is equally as respectful and worshipful of God when she took, without asking (or stole), Jesus’ power for her healing. The fact that God let her have the power for healing, is like God walking to the back of the room and asking this woman to come sit up front. Faith pleases God. When you have faith, it is God’s mark of His approval on you. When you have faith for all of God’s goodies (Psalm 103, James 5:15), it is God showing you off in front of everyone else, by asking such a humble and righteous person to sit up front with the nobles and princes. Faith in God’s promises is an act of the highest respect, fear, worship and reverence of the King of Ages. When you have faith in God, you do not need to self-debase yourself, because you are living what true worship and reverence to God is. Do not look to man. Do not look to human speculations or the kingdom self. Live by faith. Live a life of true worship to God. Forget man’s approval. Get God’s approval.

*46

Tradition is the theology of limiting God. This doctrine of God’s limitation, is soaked into everything they preach and teach. Thus, even when they criticize us for saying “God always answers prayers of faith with what we ask for,” their critique is presupposed by their doctrine of God’s limits. They say “God is not Santa, or a genie.” However our position is that God is always answering prayers of faith with His power. Santa only comes once a year and a genie only gives 3 wishes. This is nothing less than limiting and choking God’s true power and His faithfulness to do what He promised. They are so steeped in God’s limitation they cannot conceive of a God of power and who does what He says, even when they try to. They have lost the ability to see the Christian God of power. They worship a different god. Their worldview is different from the bible’s.

*47

1. Deduction starts with truth. Induction does not have truth and tries to find it grasping in the dark. Thus, deduction starts upstream with the cause “a fountain” and follows it downstream to the effects. Induction starts down in the valley and guesses where the stream comes from.

 2. Deduction is necessary and valid because it applies only the knowledge found in its premises (truth revealed by God) by merely putting a finger on a specific point that is already there. Induction is unnecessary and invalid because it takes premises and misapplies it by bringing in new information (not accounted for) and shovels it into the conclusion.

3. Deduction’s conclusion (when followed correctly) is always a necessary knowledge from the premises. All conclusions from induction commits the non-sequitur fallacy because the new information in it, means it does not necessarily follow from the knowledge contained in the premises.

*48

“The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.” John 14:10

“But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.” Matt. 12:28

More verses showing Jesus did His powerful ministry, not by the eternal Son of God’s power and authority, but by the Father’s Word and authority and filled with the Spirit for power. He was our forerunner. He gave us His position and power, so that today we speak with the word and authority of the Father, and filled with the Spirit for unstoppable power.

*49

“If you believe in healing (on demand of faith), why don’t you walk down the street and heal everyone there who needs healing?”

Well, if you believe in salvation (on demand of faith), then why don’t you walk down the street and get everyone saved who needs salvation? It is not that someone cannot be healed or saved, but that many do not respond (with faith). -Lance Wallnau

*50

Isaiah 46:6–9 (LEB)

“…hire a goldsmith and he makes him a god….

when he cries out to it, it does not answer.
It does not save him from his trouble…”

God is mocking the idea that a god for whom a person worships is not able to answer and not able to save the practitioner. Yahweh thinks it is a ridiculous notion that a god cannot and does not save his practitioners. This is why a theology of unbelief in God’s promises of health, wealth, power, miracles and various supernatural deliverance makes a public mockery of God, as if He is no different from a wooden idol.

*51

A wrong confession glorifies Satan.
A correct confession glorifies God.
No one rises higher in life, above what they confess in faith.
-Bill Winston

—

Example:

Israelites: “we are too small, they are too big.”

Joshua & Caleb: “God is with us, they are food for us.”

The Israelites confessed how small they where and they never rose above smallness. Joshua and Caleb confessed how strong they were, with God empowering them, and they rose up and took the Promise Land.

Another example: if you never confess your sins are forgiven by Jesus Christ, then you will never rise above being a filthy sinner.

All the good things you don’t believe and confess, are all the good things you will not have.  You will never rise higher than your confession. If you never, by faith, confess, “by the stripes of Jesus I was healed, and so I am healed of all my sicknesses,” then you will not rise to the level of health. The same with prosperity and good relationships.  

*52

It is odd that traditionalists who spout their ability to only rely on the scripture alone (except some who actually admitted to me the WCF is as foundational as the Bible) as their sole epistemology, will suddenly become David Hume empiricists when it comes to faith and healing.

They know better because I have heard them rehash such things from Romans 9 -11. If we were to judge the lack of salvation of the Jews by what we see and inductively calculate, then God failed. But Paul says this ignores the revelation of God’s election and predestination. Thus we live by faith not sight, or by God’s revelation and not empiricism. Therefore, we judge if God’s salvation is effective by God’s predestination and not by our observation, this is what Paul teaches us in Romans 9. And so, if we are to solely rely on God’s Word as our only starting point for knowledge, then if it says faith moves mountains, then it does. Or if James 5:15 says a prayer of faith will save the sick, then it does. To use empiricism and observations to negate the Bible is both wicked and delusional. “I don’t see a person healed when we prayed,” thus, the obvious reading of scripture is false, it must be re-interpreted by human observation. “Sola Scriptura” in this light means the bible is a dual starting point with human observation. However, that is the same sin of the Catholics.

*53

If God keeps saying ‘no’ to your prayers, then God is treating you like an outsider to His covenant and promises. If you are constantly praying for things not God’s will, then according to James you are not even a Christian but God’s enemy. This describes the prayer of a reprobate.

*54 None of us are completely correct.

“Don’t ever assert that your tradition is the “right” tradition because… none of us are completely correct.”

LOL! By saying nobody is correct, are you saying that your own statement “nobody is correct,” is not correct. Since your statement is not completely correct, I will then just ignore it and mock it. Thus I do not care. Since I am concerned about truth statements about reality and you admit you do not have any, I do not care about anything you say. In order for your statement to be correct it must falsify your standard that nothing is correct. That is, for your statement to be true, it must be false at the same time. This is a sh@#t level worldview. I suppose you forgot to apply your own standard to your own words, or are you deliberately trying to lie?

 “None of us are completely correct.” Speak for yourself. You are incompetent, and so you attempt to make the rest of us look as bad as you, to hide your intellectual failure. If you wish to admit a sin or incompetence, then do not drag the rest of us down with you. If you want to confess your smallness and unbelief in God’s promise, then I will be a Joshua and shout my confidence in my God. I dare you to try this with your relationships, when you admit faults and see where it gets you. “Honey, I am sorry for what I did, but the whole world is just as lame as I am.” It is insincere and arrogant.  Have enough courage to confess your own limitations, but do not expect me to join your confession of unbelief.

As for the rest of us who have the mind of Christ and who believe in His truth, we will confess His love, promise, miracles and power (and every proposition the Scripture speaks about reality) and know it is completely correct.

*55  The Watching God of No Help.

Before I read Vincent’s essay, “A Matter of Public Health” (see comments for link), one of my first thoughts about this pandemic and the quarantine, was that God is forcing the cessationism to stop their wickedness, like God did by sending Israel to Babylon. I watched a minister from a local Presbyterian church, and all he could say was that God was not asleep, but is awake and ‘watching’. There was no certain hope given for healing. It felt more like a horror story from the twilight zone. A God who watches your every pain, squirm, shout of agony, and sigh of aches, yet provides no relief or healing. He watches! Rather than the Romans watching gladiators fight, their God ‘watches’ people vs sickness; and that is all He does, ‘watches.’ Pagans have more compassion than this. Thus, the gospel was not preached. I remember watching some old movie about the Greek god’s with Zeus and the others ‘watching’ mankind through a cloud, almost laughing at their misery, or at least not helping. The ones who tried, did not really help that much. Seriously, one would be more likely to receive help from the Greek god’s than the God of the cessationist. But that wouldn’t be a fair comparison, to the Greek god’s, whose kindness far exceeds the cessationist deity.

*56

This is one of my complaints to the people protesting at abortion clinics in the USA. They tell them what not to do, but refuse to tell them of God’s miracle power for wealth, health and relationships. Not referring to those who just want to have fun and murder, but to those who are trapped in bad circumstances. If poor girls without hope saw this type of God, then they could see a real way out and a real hope for the future.

Without faith for regular miracles then you preach a different gospel and worship a different Christ. Without regular miracles you believe in a different worldview from the biblical one.

*57
““What I’m about to tell you is true.
What you lock on earth will be locked in heaven.
What you unlock on earth will be unlocked in heaven.””
(Matt. 18:18 NIRV)

I had a fool complain about the translation being incorrect.

The issue is that the translation made Jesus’ teaching more understandable and clear. Rather than have the inner strength to believe, they resort to fallacies of irrelevance to distract from the doctrine Jesus is demanding of His disciples.  This is like Vincent Cheung’s essay on “Our Contract with God,” using the term “contract” rather than “covenant” to teach on what is called covenant theology. They mean the same thing, but the word “contract” has less theological baggage to distract from the meaning and implication of the doctrine.

One of the greatest ways to be harsh, cruel and offensive is to teach a doctrine in a clear and easy way, because it forces people to finally understand what it means. They will realize they do not measure up and will desire to fight and kill you for exposing their theological and practical impotence.  You will be able to see this because most of what they will say will be logically irrelevant to accepting and doing what the passage teaches. 

*58

If your eschatology leads you to think more about human governments rather than God’s government, which is chiefly Jesus right now, sitting on His eternal throne, at the right hand of the Power, ruling in power and waiting for all His enemies to be made His footstool, by pouring out the baptism of the Spirit for power on people He chooses to call to Himself, then your eschatology is horse sh@$t. Jesus at the right hand of the Power, is the government we should be obsessed with.

(Acts 1-4, Heb10:11-14, 1 Cori 15:20-26.)

*59

John answered and said, “A man can receive not one thing unless it is granted to him from heaven!” …..

Ok.

“whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come, all things are yours.”

John 3:27 LEB, 1 Corinthians 3:22 LEB

*60 Whatever you Ask you get it.

After studying logic and learning to be more precise with my words and statements, it is obvious to me that Jesus is saying faith statements in the strongest way possible.

For example, Jesus did not say, “God will always answer your prayer.” Religious elites and those who are servants of the Faithless one, might have room to say, “Yes, God will always answer your prayers, but it might be with a yes, maybe, or a no; or, He might always answer our prayers with yes, but it is modified to what God thinks is best for you.”

If I were asked to think about what possible subject and predicate combinations, or logically “if…then” Modus Ponen arguments I could come up with, so that I can state faith as radical as possible, not leaving room for someone to twist my words, I could not come up with something more logically binding than how Jesus Christ states the doctrine.  He says, “whatever you ask, God will give it to you.” Do a circle diagram to see it more clearly, if you need to.

It is this same Jesus, who said these radical faith statements, who sits on the throne, at the right hand of the power, who will demand an account from us.

*61  Rebuking Ministers?

Yet again I heard the charismatics say it is wrong to harshly rebuke and criticize other ministers. The Bible does not teach this. This is a knee-jerk reaction from them, because of all the Reformed heresy hunters coming after them. The prophets, apostles and Jesus all harshly rebuked and cruelly criticized false teachers and ministries. We are commanded to do so.

Today I heard one of them say that you should not correct the doctrine of another minister unless you have a personal relationship with them. This is nonsense. The scripture shows the prophets, apostles and Jesus all rebuking the doctrine of those they had no personal relationships with. The command to privately confront a brother for a wrong is about personal issues and not about false doctrines.

*62

1 Samuel 15:23 (LSB) “Rebellion is as the sin of divination. Insubordination…as idolatry”

Why? Why is rebellion just like going to a Shaman to get a demonic divination? When you disobey God, who has both created and given definitions to reality, you are going outside of His definition and His power, to get your own power and your own definitions. You are turning to demons to get their power and definitions about reality. If this is the case, as a broad truth for rebellion against God, then how much more is this the case for those who rebel against God’s commands for faith to move mountains and healing and miracles and spiritual powers, to use empiricism and observation as divination to manufacture their own power and definition of reality?

*62  More military power, not Less

Like Vincent said, God had a list of plagues to go through, and refused to be interrupted, and so He kept hardening Pharaoh’s heart. God wanted to hit Pharaoh 12 times in the face, not just 2 or 3. (The Edge of Glory.) But when they entered into the Promise Land, God put a sword in their hands, and this time they would fight just as their God of war fights. Today, this is reflected in Acts 2 on Pentecost, in the baptism of Power.

The interesting thing about this is that some wrongly think, “well, God does not want us to war with swords, as in the old days.”

It is true God did not put a metal sword in my hand, but a spiritual sword, but He did this not to lessen my military ability and diminish my violence, but to make it more powerful. What is more powerful, a mere sword, or cursing someone with blindness? I would find blindness more terrifying and more violent than a mere gun. When they prayed and praised, so that prisons were shaken by earthquakes and angels, and so that government property was damaged, which is more powerful, a mere sword or the ability to destroy government buildings with faith and the Spirit?

*63 Did not Enter God’s Rest, Because they disbelieved in Health and Wealth.

Hebrews 3 says that it was their unbelief that stopped them from entering the Promise Land.  God did the saving and brought them out of sin and slavery under the Egyptians. This is mirrored with Jesus saving us from our sin and death. They did nothing when God did this, and we did nothing when Jesus saved us. But when they were baptized in the Jordon, God put a sword in their hands and said, “you do it.” God would empower them, but they had to step out in faith and do it themselves. God promised them milk and honey, or health and wealth, but they would have to use their hands to grab it. These good promises are just a continuation of the blessing of Abraham, which God promised. God promised fruitfulness, power, health and wealth, among other things to Abraham and his descendants. However, this became a choking point for the Israelites’ faith. They refused to believe God was able to strengthen them to conquer the Promise Land. Hebrews said they did not mix faith with God’s promise. God cursed them and let their bodies litter the desert for 40 years.

They had enough faith to cross over the red sea on dry land. They had enough faith, if just barely, to let God save them from slavery and let His wrath pass over them, as it destroyed their slave masters. This is like having some faith that Jesus forgives and delivers. However, when God wanted to empower them to be blessed with the riches of milk and honey from the Promise Land, they had no faith. Being empowered and receiving good things was a choke point for them, with the exception of Joshua and Caleb. It is this unbelief in God empowering them to receive good things, like health and wealth and military power, that Hebrews 3 says because of unbelief they did not enter God’s rest. It was not unbelief in God saving them from slavery, which disallowed them from entering God’s rest. No. Not until they could believe God would empower them and enrich them with health and wealth, would it qualify them to enter God’s rest. Hebrews said God was “angry” against them and so He killed them. We are warned not to repeat their mistake.

The same is today. Their baptism into the Jordon is mirrored with us being baptized in the Spirit for power. (See Vincent Cheung, “The Edge of Glory,” who helped me understand this.) The preacher of Hebrews is using Israels’ example in connection to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Having some faith that Jesus forgives is not enough, if you disbelieve God empowers you to expand His kingdom and empowers you with things such as health and wealth, which are part of the blessing of Abraham. As with the ancient Israelites, their faith in God to save them, was proven to be half-baked, when they could not believe God would empower them to receive good material blessings. God was angry with them and disregarded them by not allowing them to enter His rest. The same is for “Today.” People expose their faith as half-baked if they refuse the baptism of the Spirit and refuse to believe God for material good things. God will not allow such people to enter His rest. 

The warning about “not mixed with faith,” was about faith for God to empower “them” with strength and material blessings. It is this connection the writer of Hebrews warns us is the type of unbelief that will keep you from Gods rest. Most would not preach the gospel in this way, but it is scripture. It does not say, “they did not have faith in God’s promise to pass His wrath over them, so they refused to put the blood on the door. Thus they are not saved, and will not enter God’s rest.” This is true as far as it goes, but it is not the gospel which Hebrews is preaching. It says they did not enter God’s rest because they disbelieved God’s promises of power and blessings. This is the gospel which Hebrews preaches.

They did not enter God’s rest because they did not believe God’s promise of health and wealth. This is precisely the warning from Hebrews chapter 3. We are warned that “Today,” the promise still stands to enter God’s rest, therefore, do not disbelieve God’s promises for power, health and wealth. 

Children of Abraham act like their father, and imposters lack the faith to do so. It is not as though Abraham believed God declared him righteous, but disbelieved God to make him famous, give him miracle health and excessive wealth. Yet, this is the so-called gospel that some preach; a gospel of only believing you are righteous, without the miracles of power, health and wealth. It is a half-gospel, a cursed gospel. This half gospel caused the Israelites to be discarded by God by rejecting them from entering His rest. This half-gospel was not preached to Abraham, not preached by the prophets (Isaiah 53:4-5), not preached by the Apostles (James 5:15, Acts 2), and not preached by Jesus Christ (Matthew 21:21). Those who are children of Abraham have faith to believe the gospel preached to Abraham, not just the righteousness part. Either you have Abraham’s faith or you do not.  By not believing in God’s promise for power, health and wealth, the Israelites exposed themselves not to be children of Abraham, and people today are also exposing themselves as the same.

Because faith is what kept the Israelites out, guess what Satan is focused on attacking? He attacks faith to believe God’s good promises of power, health and wealth, which is what will cause them to enter God’s rest. Guess who is attacking such doctrine today? Whose side are they on? If they fight to keep people from entering God’s rest, how are they not servants of the faithless one?

*64

Then the circumcised believers who had come with Peter were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the gentiles,
because they heard them speaking in [tongues].
(Acts 10:46-47 ISV)

The evidence they were baptized in the Spirit was not because they were born again, but “because they heard them speaking in tongues.” Your theology must include this.

 *65

I heard Bill Winston mention in a sermon that people do not realize that through the gospel, God is our rich supply of material goods. He then mentions it was this way from the beginning. In the garden God richly supplied Adam and Eve with an overflowing abundance of material provision. They did not work for it. God provided it. When they sinned, God stopped being their material provision; not in the absolute total sense, otherwise God would not even give us rain or dirt. The blessing of Abraham restores this back, and the substitutionary atonement of Jesus Christ (2 Corin 8:9, 9:8) restores this back. 

This is why Isaac reaped 100-fold in the desert. This is why Jesus can get tax money, that he did not work for, from a fish. This is why oil, water, bread, fish and other material goods can be transmutated or multiplied, and used for finical gain. This is why the wealth of the wicked is stored up for the righteous. In all these types of things and more, the elect do not work, but God supplies them by His power and provision. This does not mean we do not work, but that in Jesus Christ, the correct and natural order of things is restored. God provides for man supernaturally and abundantly.  The idea of man working, only by his own power to provide for himself, was always a perversion of God’s creation.

*66

Science commits a triple logical fallacy with empiricism, observation and scientific experimentation (affirming the consequent, to produce unsound syllogisms). Science violates the law of contradiction (because it leads to skepticism) and identity (this happens multiple times). Jesus is the logic and appeals to the law of contradiction in Mark 12:35-37. Jesus is the law of contradiction. To say science gives any truth or proves anything is to violate Jesus Christ who is the Logos. You must pick to either murder science or logic. Science has no knowledge about anything. It cannot prove any of its statements. When used to produce knowledge science is to be mocked and dismissed. Science is not a body of knowledge, but a group of people and nothing more.

*67

It tickles me when a Christian posts a condemning post (saying or suggesting they have violated a command or precept of God), against Christians, saying it’s wrong to condemn and rebuke other Christians when you disagree with them.

Then they proceed to quote Jesus saying you better not judge unless you be judge.

Apart from the hypothetical aspect and that such a stance judges others, let us consider the correct idea to quote scripture to rebuke others.

This is good. Jesus rebuked others with cruel, dehumanizing comments, as a man born under the law. The prophets and apostles did the same. We should consider context of ignorance and repeated refusal to repent, but the Bible’s command to harshly rebuke those who teach contradictions to scripture, still stands. We are to follow and obey this. The issue is knowing the Bible well enough to know true and false doctrine.

Pro tip. Jesus is the Logic (John 1:1). Also, Jesus appeals to the law of non-contradiction in Mark 12:35-37.

Thus, if what you are saying is a contradiction, you are not teaching scripture correctly and you are slandering it. It means, at least on the present topic, you do not know the scripture, nor do you understand what you are saying.

Example, if you are saying it is wrong to judge others, while you are judging others, then you are contradicting the standard you are preaching. It means you have no idea what Jesus meant by His statement, because Jesus is the law of non-contradiction.

*68

Jesus also uses His faith doctrine as a test for orthodoxy (John 15:7-8); thus, any Creed that does not include Jesus’ test, cannot claim to be orthodox.
(See Vincent Cheung, The Extreme Faith Teacher, who helped me understand this as a test for orthodoxy.)

*69

Have faith to heal yourself and save yourself, and God will boast about you. Feed the poor and man will boast about you.

If you are a Christian and feed the poor in faith, then God will reward you for this; however, in the most immediate context, it is man who will praise you; in fact, even non-Christians will praise you. However, the scriptures show that if you have faith to slay Goliaths, heal yourself of cancer and do various miracles, then sometimes men will praise, but sometimes men in the church will persecute and even attempt to murder you for your faith to do miracles. And yet, your faith to do miracles will cause God to boast about you. Jesus did not publicly boast about a person for feeding the poor, or for a faithful 50 year marriage anniversary, but praised and boasted about men and women who had faith to heal themselves and provide forgiveness for themselves. “Wow! Your faith saved you. Your faith healed you.”
