[embed]because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold

They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. (John 16:2; KJV).

Jesus therefore seeing the mother and the disciple standing nearby whom he loved, he says to the mother, ‘woman, behold your son’

if you want to know what is the light, simply look around you at what is the darkness.

you might say whatever is not the darkness is light.

if the darkness teaches something, do the opposite.

be free in disobedience to the darkness.

walk on

in obedience to the light.

[embed]I will get up now and go about the city, through its streets and squares; I will search for the one my heart loves

be in love, at all cost be in Love.

break the cycle of ego-repeat-ego.

wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them

wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them

freedom is Christ: freedom of God.

and the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Ruach Elohim (Breath/Spirit of God) moved upon the face of the waters

and the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Ruach Elohim (Breath/Spirit of God) moved upon the face of the waters

And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. (John 5:38; KJV).

how will you ever understand any texts or sounds about God if you won’t permit the ‘supernatural’? That’s like reading a science textbook without knowing if you believe in the scientific method.

God is so selfless God gave away God.

you won’t be able to understand this without God.

you won’t understand much that has come through me out to you if you won’t entertain the possibility it came from God.

it will just be dead text and foolish music.

sure, I may have humanscuffed the delivery (elsewhere there’s plenty of predictive algorithm-inspired content), but if you don’t think God had a hand in it, on some level, then it’ll be utter nonsense to you.

if it is utter nonsense it is very hard indeed to explain it.

this is, actually, no different to any human who has ever put forward about God.

for who would ever give a public opinion on God and think that what they were saying did not come from God?

to give an opinion on God and not think God has a stake in what you’re saying would be unusual, like telling a joke when you’ve never laughed before, or perhaps singing and believing you aren’t making any sound.

but this is rarely the religious person’s problem.

often they are too sure they are Godsent.

it feels good to think you’re the one in on God’s secrets.

am I different because I realise how egotistical I am? How untrue so many of the things I say are likely to be? Or is that just me being even more egotistical?

if you’re looking to get something out of this for yourself you may not get it, but if you can dispense with the readership poise of the opinionated I, then you might get a treasure you sought all along.

a consumer mindset tends to get consumed by what it consumes.

if you are able to be offended anywhere in your spirit, you have a lot of spiritual building to do.

some people learn more from a song than a teacher, while others learn from teachers and others still learn from silence.

some haven’t the luxury of options.

the entire Christ Faith is based on learning, evidence-based inquiry, evident facts, critical thinking and analysis; so let’s actually learn?

[embed]in whose hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind?

the complete 81(+1) entries which unfolded by the Spirit over a two year revelation should be thought of as for ≥1 person to be helped.

if you won’t entertain the possibility I was asked to be an isolated conduit to those left out (downtrodden?) by establishment religion-club followers…

if you are an establishment religion-club follower…

it will all just be madness and weird sacrilege to you.

this is what it actually is:

an imperfect receiver and transmitter passed on a perfect message by the Spirit at a set time.

a standard raised behind enemy lines.

a heart softened.

all for a reason.

a reply.

a reconciliation that whispers to no one:

‘it is spirituality-toxic to harbour anything but love inside of you’.

[embed]for my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD

of course plenty of people have come since Jesus and made claims and they’ve often been harmful godcharlatans that have destroyed and are destroying many lives.

that is why I want nobody to listen: only the one saved/warmed by it.

Jesus didn’t say dismiss all comers, he said ‘know them by their fruits’.

as ‘it was written’ in ‘Truth: what is it?’ — ditch me as soon as I no longer carry The Truth of good fruits for you.

if you contemplate me as the most foolish person on the internet, yet somehow doing this, you’ll be approaching more truth.

the revelations are the point.

the journey is the point.

your salvation from darkness into love is the point.

what could be more True than a life saved?

what could be more True than a love restored?

what could be more of a violation of Truth than a life erased?

you should trust Jesus (God Saves) over humans, always.

when Jesus said “know them by their fruits” you should trust that God gave you the power to do that.

how can a massacring church be a church of good fruits?

how can a church that causes machetes to fall on heads be a church of good fruits?

how can a church that hoards so much of people’s wages be a church of good fruits?

how can a church not letting you leave without its members hurting you be a church of good fruits?

you can tell how dark a religion is by how violently they treat (e.g.) LGBT+ people and (e.g.) women or (e.g.) the [Insert Heres].

have you not researched what Constantine did to the LGBT+ people? Who did he serve?

the rigid-religious may be more displeased at me and what I’ve put forward than even the cruelty and taciturn violence they support.

what they should be doing is addressing evident realities head-on without fear.

if someone is more upset by LGBT+ love than innocent traumatised-erased children?

if a family can no longer love a child quite the same due to toxic doctrine and mistranslation?

quoting Romans 1 without a Scooby-Doo what it’s about?

if someone is shouting “sexual immorality” with minimal knowledge of what *porneia* means while the world burns?

they have not fully grasped the scriptures nor the power of God.

[embed]therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here

if you want to know what the Epistles are ask what this is.

sacred discussions with meanings between lines where the Ruach is.

scripture and interpretation can aptly be evaluated by (e.g.) what happens when you pray over it, whether it is true in light of our lived reality in Christ, whether God sends it to our consciousness by the luminous unfolding of the Spirit, the fruit it bears, historical and scholarly context and whether it generates nearness to Christ.

(conversely you can study carefully and ask whether it would even be possible for humans to just pen it down with no inspiration of God).

ideally not just what some club of ‘they’ men in costumes thought they liked and everyone who disagreed got savaged.

is it more blasphemous to say a noncanonical text is God-breathed or to toss pages out of a Bible then declare you possess the only true body of sacred scripture and claim “inerrant” interpretation?

Jesus told us exactly what to do: know by their fruits.

by this we know those who claim they are “inerrant” are in error.

at the very least you should study what the scriptures actually said, not what others told you they say.

or just pray to the risen God to meet with you and follow what God puts on your heart: prayerfully going where you are led (with God) without trepidation.

if you pray to God and God opens a path for you, are you going to trust God and walk it? Or go down the other path that humans are coaxing you down? When God starts making stuff happen are you going to dismiss it as just “stuff” or thank God and follow it?

If God told you to expand your faith into deeper knowledge of God, would you tell God that isn’t scriptural according to your holy books and refuse?

ignorance is not bliss.

as the Lord reveals new truth, we shy away from it to our own detriment.

you were put here on Earth to love God and love each other.

how can you do that if people are blocking you from knowing God?

every day is a sacred gift of God.

don’t squander it.

love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind

love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind

‘they’ have no good answer to Gertrude & Mechtilde, Teresa, Thérèse, Juan, Hildegard, or anyone.

would you say you know God more intimately than the (Christ-ian) mystics?

you do and you also don’t.

“but Hildegard was anti-LGBT”

— exactly!

pleased with Leviticus 18:22 but not so sure about Leviticus 19:34?

the more they say they are biblical the less they are likely to be.

the scriptures are a sacred backandforth.

Ruachwriting for our benefit not God’s.

the pneumatic backandforth is the inspired sacred Word (all scripture is “inspired” not dictated: the sword of the Ruach/Breath/Spirit is the Word, is it not?)

why try to ring-fence God’s Breath?

why hold up one God-breathed verse and say “see! see!” when you haven’t seen all that much?

why reduce live sacred scriptures to your static human level?

“biblical” means “into scripture that seems to reinforce their opinion”?

if an interpretation is not in keeping with who Yeshua is, not of God’s essence, if God said not a word on it when incarnated on Earth (and neither as the risen Christ, actually), then you need to look for a different interpretation.

isn’t it interesting so many people have so many opinions on who Jesus is, yet they’re often only secondarily concerned about who Jesus himself says he is and what he is extensively documented to have said (and not said)?

what could be more ‘objectively true’ than Christ’s warning recorded in the Gospel of Mary for us:

{Do not lay down any rules beyond what I appointed you, and do not give a law like the lawgiver lest you be constrained by it}

contemplate that verse and you will understand every church that ties itself in knots.

{They asked the soul, Whence do you come slayer of men, or where are you going, conqueror of space?

The soul answered and said, What binds me has been slain, and what turns me about has been overcome,

and my desire has been ended, and ignorance has died.

In an aeon I was released from a world, and in a Type from a type, and from the fetter of oblivion which is transient.

From this time on will I attain to the rest of the time, of the season, of the aeon, in silence}

{Mary 8:20-24}

contemplate these verses and you may start to understand the freedom Christ handed over to you. Or if you find The Gospel of Mary scares you, try the original 2000-year-old Greek for what is actually written in 2 Peter 1:4.

when we see the King, you can debate with him all about it, I’ll just weep with joy at his feet.

how many more lives should be sucked in by un-free religions?

So, then, if with Christ you’ve put all that puffed-up and childish religion behind you, why do you let yourselves be bullied by it? “Don’t touch this! Don’t taste that! Don’t go near this!” Do you think things that are here today and gone tomorrow are worth that kind of attention? Such things sound impressive if said in a deep enough voice. They even give the illusion of being pious and humble and austere. But they’re just another way of showing off, making yourselves look important. (Colossians 2:20-23; MSG).

[embed]thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder

Yeshua said, “Grapes are not harvested from thorns, nor are figs picked from thistles, for they do not produce fruit. A good person brings forth good from their treasure. A bad person brings forth evil from the bad treasure that is in their heart. And in fact, they speak evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, they bring forth evil”. (Gospel of Thomas 45).

if it’s cruelty, you need to re-think.

this will be hard if people have told you not to think or that bad things will happen to you;

if you’re being told scriptures outside your particular club’s canon are ‘satanic’ or ‘heretical’;

but if you want to know God more deeply that is what you should do.

I will take my chances on judgement day with those who did not do erasure of the defenceless.

anyone who tells you not to seek, not to vigorously question, is an agent of the opposite of the light.

believing that the risen Christ still communicates with us: that is what trust is.

a fearless and transparent engagement with all the evidence: that is what is meant by true faith.

actions > ego-inflating gas-words.

faith only exists when you permit it to exist by faith.

you have to make a move.

every part of us is crying out for faith in the one true God.

with faith you abound with faith.

without faith you’ll have no faith.

you have to be making the continuous decision that if it is true then you really want it, and then God reveals Godself to be true.

you have to analyse the science whilst believing in the methods.

you also have to become aware who it is that you are approaching, what it is they’ve done for you and what it is you are asking of them, to do for you now.

except you don’t really have to do any of that because God’s just so overjoyed you’re even asking.

many others want you to believe their version of what they call “faith”, but faith is interconnection between you and God, never repeated, just for you, creator of the universe coming down to meet you: rebirth into God, with your consent — there is no other way to fall in love with God with your consent and without coercion.

there is no motivation for me other than to free you into that deeper union with God themself: I want nothing whatsoever from anyone, ever, and you should trust no one who requires material of any kind from you.

I am free from all constraints and all fears of what will be thought of me (admittedly, kind readers may be wondering if it might have been better if I were more constrained — but such is the path God chose).

my only Lord is Yeshua: I answer to God. I don’t speak for God, God (it might be said) speaks for me.

it is inadvisable to read someone else’s mail and then burn it/them.

don’t look through someone else’s keyhole then be offended at seeing something you weren’t meant to.

the Sacred Heart of Jesus is real.

some faith is not crafted by man, it is forged directly by the Christ.

if in doubt, just dance — rejoice.

if in doubt, give to the poor.

if in doubt, pray.

you are so close to being set free in Christ.

if you don’t want to understand, you won’t.

it takes sheer courage to understand. To remember.

[embed]and thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart…

Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. (Hosea 4:1; KJV).

some people are bound so strongly by others that breaking free will be very difficult. Some won’t ever be.

it’s not your fault that it’s so hard to wake up: enormous industries are designed to keep you asleep.

ask a 1930s German youth an opinion: how in control of that opinion will he be?

ask a 2025 Siberian priest an opinion, what will you receive?

ask one walking on the earth we now refer to as ‘Australia’ 9032 years ago, what will she tell you?

ask yourself…

For when Goyim, who have not the Torah, do by nature what the Torah requires, they not having the Torah are the torah for themselves…(Romans 2:14; OJB).

to what extent should anyone be blamed for their beliefs?

people do not like someone in their club waking up because it threatens their club.

they do not want you to wake up because they are afraid to wake up themselves and if you wake up they might have to wake up too.

…but for now, from the one who wants co-friends and not followers (because followers inflate human egos and so much of religion is about powers and ego): enjoy the party (feast) with the Spirit herself.

no one but Christ!

(who else)?

there is no other who would do it for you, one person, quite like this.

take the salvation that’s been for you since the beginning of time.

why would you rather continue in a comfortable lie than be free in the less comfortable Truth?

why would some human’s “truth” have more appeal than Christ’s?

don’t want to be called a “Christian”? Be a lover of Christ.

what could be better than being a lover of God?

On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. (John 7:37-39; ESV).

Judas (not Iscariot) said, “Master, why is it that you are about to make yourself plain to us but not to the world?”

“Because a loveless world,” said Jesus, “is a sightless world. If anyone loves me, he will carefully keep my word and my Father will love him—we’ll move right into the neighborhood! Not loving me means not keeping my words. The message you are hearing isn’t mine. It’s the message of the Father who sent me. (John 14:22-24; MSG).

III.

A prayer of the most sacred heart bouncing from one heart to another across spacetime:

O most holy heart of Jesus, fountain of every blessing,

I adore you,

I love you,

and with lively sorrow for my sins,

I offer you this poor heart of mine.

Make me humble, patient, pure and wholly obedient to your will.

Contemplation:

Is asking ‘why’ the fruitful spiritual question? Why is Jesus The Logos (Word)? If Jesus is opposed by dark spiritual forces, doesn’t that mean the Word itself has been subject to spiritual opposition? Why is Jesus The Aletheia (Truth)? If Jesus is opposed, is Truth itself opposed? Is it more ‘dangerous’ to pursue the ‘why’ of God’s Word-Truth or to not pursue it? Why do so many religious people suppress the non-‘masculine’? Why so fearful of the obvious power of the ‘feminine’ stream?
