“So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything; only God who Gives the Growth.” ~ Paul (1 Corinthians (3:7) While Paul quite possibly did indeed believe that God personally watched over all living things — and that no growth would take place therein without His celestial attention, Jesus in […]
“This is my Commandment: that you Love one another…just like I have Loved you all.” ~ Jesus (John 15:12) And remember: Love for Jesus was a VERB – a humble act of self-sacrifice, always given willfully & always given Joy-fully.
“Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes […]
“For in this tent we groan, longing to be clothed with our Heavenly Dwelling … And indeed, when we someday remove ourselves from it, we will not be found naked.” ~ Paul (2 Corinthians 5:2-3) While it is not clear what Paul actually meant with this passage (sometimes his teachings stumbled upon a harmony […]
“I do not judge anyone who hears my Word and yet does not follow, for I have come not to condemn the world, but rather to offer it Salvation.” ~ Jesus (John 12:47) While the traditional rendition of the final phrase of this verse (“but rather to save it”) seems to imply that Jesus […]
“For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well.” ~ unknown (Hebrews 7:12) This verse (especially when coupled with its sister passage in Hebrews 8:8-13) is an extremely important one, for it is here that the Bible itself quite plainly tells us that The […]
“You shall Love the Lord your God with all your Heart, and with all your Soul, and with all your Mind … And a second Commandment is just like it: You shall Love your neighbor as your Self. On these two Commandments rest both the Law and all the Prophets.” ~ Jesus (Matthew 22:37-40) […]
“To each is Given the manifestation of the Spirit for the Common Good.” ~ Paul (1 Corinthians 12:7) Even though the biblical Paul was often obviously far more often than not completely clueless as to the active, humble, and selfless nature of The Way of Jesus Christ, note that he did (at least in […]
“Whoever receives one whom I send receives Me; and whoever receives Me receives also Him who sent that Soul.” ~ Jesus Christ (John 13:20) As I have mentioned previously, Jesus – being the stalwart proponent of absolute humility that he was (see Matthew 18:3-4 + Matthew 23:12 et al) – is definitely not speaking […]
“The Works that I Do in my Father’s name testify to my True Self” ~ Jesus (John 10:25) Bibles typically have this verse reading something akin to “The works that I do in my Father’s name testify about me”, and yet it I have purposefully altered it here — and thereby enhanced its accuracy […]
“When the Complete arrives, the partial comes to an end.” ~ Paul (1 Corinthians 13:10) At least as far as we human beings are concerned, “the Complete” (i.e. the Divine Essence that composes our conscient, True Self) was given to us all in the womb, and “the Complete” remains within us ever still … As […]
