SIN

APRIL 6, 2002

Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be Saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the knowledge of the truth. May the Lord our God heal and comfort the sick and shut-in: and may He keep the Spirit of His Grace upon the worthy.

Beloved children of God: Some believe I have contradicted my testimony: but I speak in a mystery, and with hidden wisdom, the knowledge of sin. We who partake of this heavenly calling are preserved in the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ; thus, we are cleansed of sin to be born of God that no sin is found in us. For even as we might appear to have sin in the eyes of flesh, we have no sin in the eyes of God: because the end result of the things we do is righteousness. It is written: All unrighteousness is sin: and that there is a sin not unto death. The sin not unto death is a sin that is under the grace of God, which is given for the sake of a righteous man. For example: If a man break the fast of a holy day before the hour is up, he has sinned in the eyes of actuality: But if he break the fast because of his health, he has not sinned in the eyes of reality, which is the eyes of God. I pray you judge not with the eyes of actuality, but with the eyes of reality: which is not only what was and is; but also the justification of what will be and wisdom. For should a man in need of food or water die because the hour of fast is not up? Surely we fast as a sacrifice to God: but if a man is unable to keep the fast because of illness, has he sinned in the eyes of God? Nay: he is innocent of sin: as an infant and a pregnant woman is also innocent of sin. But let no mischief enter into your heart: for if a man should complain of a headache, or thirst, or hunger, to break a fast before the hour is up; he is not innocent of sin; but has sinned before the eyes of God. I pray he has not used up the spirit of his grace: for then is every sin given to death.

My brothers and sisters, I pray for you, that you see with the eyes of reality. For if Adam had judged with the eyes of reality instead of actuality, he would have realized that Eve was dead in flesh though given the illusion of life; because what God say to a man is reality and not what the eyes of flesh see. Many are snared to the ways of sin because they base their decisions on things of actuality: but the things of actuality are not necessarily the things of reality: because actuality is the past and present; but reality is the past, present, and future. The things of actuality are in many cases the illusions of grandeur. Men are deceived into believing that actuality is reality. Surely it be not in all cases: for the world you know today shall not be tomorrow: and the powers that be today shall not be tomorrow. So are those things of reality? Nay: for reality is yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Thus, ⌠let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long■ (Proverbs 23:17). For sinners deceive themselves with the eyes of actuality, to believe they can live in sin. They are too foolish to realize that their life is that of an illusion: because they are seduced with a false understanding that you can sin every day as long as you confess your sins. Such is not ignorance, but foolishness: so I pity them not.

The power of the devil is found in the eyes of actuality: the moment at hand. But when one see with the eyes of tomorrow, the things that exist today become exposed for what they are, illusions, unless the things that exist today will exist tomorrow. Only the things of God will be: all other things shall pass away. Not only the earth, but heaven also, shall pass away (St. Matthew 24:35): so will not the grace of this world also pass away? I pray you find understanding of these words, that you might know the grace of a righteous man is given a limit. Our Lord Jesus Christ gave men the spirit of grace seventy times seven: counting from the day he was resurrected to the generation at hand: because the generation at hand is the same generation as in the ancient of days: because Jesus said when he stood before us in flesh that his generation shall not pass away till all things are fulfilled (St. Matthew 24:34). So have all things been fulfilled? So let a man know that the forgiveness of seventy times seven has expired: for Christ himself has sent me with a message, that we might know that even the old is the new: for the grace of seven times only has been restored: counting from the first day of the second year of the Lamb▓s book of life, which is the ministry at hand. Some of you shall believe: and some of you shall not. But he that believes sees with the eyes of what will be and not what is: so he fear not him that can kill the body; but He that can kill both body and soul.

Now let us have this understanding: The things that appear to be sin to the naked eye is not necessarily sin to the eyes of God: even do our God turn sin into righteousness for our sake; because of his love for the righteous heart. Righteousness is born in this world from sin: Was not Abel born from the sin of Adam and Eve, yet he himself was of righteous faith (Hebrews 11:4)? Was not the blessing of Jacob received through the means of a lie and deceit in the eyes of actuality (Genesis 27); yet he received his blessing according to the name of righteousness, which is the word of God (Genesis 25:23-26)? Was not David▓s marriage to Bathsheba done out of murder in the eyes of actuality (II Samuel 11:14-17); yet the end result was the righteousness of Solomon (II Samuel 12:24), who made the city of Jerusalem a holy place unto the Lord? Was not Jesus Christ the son of David (St. Matthew 1:1), who was shaped in iniquity and conceived in sin (Psalm 51:5)?

Brethren: There are many secrets and much hidden wisdom to the Scriptures: some of which I cannot tell you now, because you cannot bear it. But I shall tell you before I depart from this world; because I am sent to guide you into all truth.

My friends: There is no sin but in the eyes of God. Let a man therefore have the wisdom to know the difference. For to find a woman attractive is not a sin in the eyes of God: but to uncover her nakedness or attempt to uncover her nakedness is a sin in the eyes of God: because to uncover or attempt to uncover the nakedness of a woman other than your wife is lust: and all lust is sin before the eyes of God. If your actions are not of lust, then you have not sinned in the eyes of God, but felt and expressed the acceptable feelings of human flesh.

Here is wisdom: If a woman is physically or mentally abused by her husband in this world (in the Messianic Age he is put to death), has she sinned if she leaves her husband to find comfort in the bed of another man? If she marries that man, she has not sinned in the eyes of God. But if she lay with that man, then go back to her husband, she has sinned in the eyes of God, even that man.

All things that are done which end in unrighteousness is sin in the eyes of God: but all things that are done which end in righteousness is not sin in the eyes of God. I pray you understand those words, that, no man is falsely accused, and none is found bearing false witness. For the nullifier of all that appear as sin, as in the actions of Jacob and David, is that the end justifies the means if the end is righteous.

We who are redeemed in the Spirit of Truth are born of God: so we cannot sin: because the end of all that we do is made righteous. We are blessed as Jacob was blessed: and anointed as David was anointed: thus our actions can only be those of God▓s intentions. So if we appear to fall, we have not, because of the Spirit of His Grace, which shall keep us from falling in His eyes, and present us faultless before the presence of His glory. For as the Lord was displeased with the evil done by David in His sight; the Lord loved him still; and kept him from falling. And David was chastised before all of Israel, but the greatness of his name did not depart from the earth. So great is the name of David, that Jesus Christ is called the son of David.

Let no righteous man concern himself with what the world might think of him: for if a man is righteous in the end, he is righteous still. And though some might not understand the reason of our ways, let them know that the end of our ways is according to the word of the Lord. For some are called to do this; and some to do that; but we all are called in the knowledge of the truth, which is found without hypocrisy.

Indeed there will be many who will call me a hypocrite: but I can break no law of God; neither am I subject to any laws of the Gentiles. So I speak these words in a mystery: The privilege of some is not the privilege of all. But let none be mistaken: for no man is free to sin willfully in the grace of God: for he that sin willfully cannot confess his sins with a sincere heart.

Let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to I Corinthians 15:50-54: and let us Read and Hear: ⌠Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory■.

Brethren: We are redeemed from sin by the grace of God to be born of God, that no sin be found in us with the eyes of God. I speak these words for the righteous among us, who seek to avoid the life of sin, but fall into the appearance of sin, that they and you might know they have not sinned out of grace. For our lives and journeys are full of many challenges, and many twist and turns, that a man might fall into the appearance of sin. But let him not be ashamed: for a just and righteous man can fall seven times and rise up again (Psalms 24:16). So let no man feel unworthy to partake of this calling to be born of God because of the appearance of sin in him: for there is no sin in one who worships in spirit and in truth; because the Spirit of Grace is upon him.

My brothers and sisters in the true name of Christ: I have given you these words of wisdom for your understanding: if not now, when the time come. For we shall be called to fulfill many things in this spiritual and social revolution that men shall perceive as sin, as they perceived Jesus and his apostles of committing sin. But we who are in the knowledge of the truth cannot sin in the eyes of God; because we are led by the Spirit of God that the end result of all the things we do is made righteous according to His word. We write no new Scriptures to make this claim, but abide in the words that are already written. I tell you this truth, not to justify sin, but to uphold the name of righteousness and the true spirit of grace. For it is written: ⌠If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death■ (I John 5:16-17).

Now if a man should say, It is written: ⌠Whoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him■ (I John 3:6). I say unto that man, Are you without sin? The Scriptures say there is none without sin: So if you understand the Scripture of I John 3:6 as it is written, how then can you worship God, even know God, that He would speak to you? You would be of the devil as it is written in I John 3:8. But I speak to reveal the secrets and hidden wisdom according to the Scriptures, that men might understand that which appear to be sin in the eyes of flesh, might not be sin in the eyes of God. Thus, if it is not sin in the eyes of God, though it appears as sin, it is not sin, because of grace and righteousness. So who can accuse a righteous man: even open up their mouth to judge him?

Jesus told you not to judge that you be not judged, because you did not have the understanding of the secrets and hidden wisdom of the Scriptures: so how can you judge that which you do not know? And is any unrighteous thing less than another unrighteous thing? For is the unrighteousness of adultery greater than coition outside of marriage? Nay: for both is fornication. So what place do men have to call me an adulterer, when they are fornicating? And what place do men have to call me an adulterer, when they are in sin before the eyes of God? I have no sin before the eyes of God: for all that I do is according to His word, which is already written regarding the Son of man. If I speak in a mystery, it is because you cannot bear it: if I speak openly, you shall not believe it. But all things done in the spirit shall be done in the flesh, as all things done in heaven shall be done on the earth: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand: and the bridegroom cometh.

Beloved children of God: We are all called to fulfill a purpose. I pray you discover yourself: for knowing one▓s self leads to knowing one▓s purpose: and knowing one▓s purpose leads to fulfilling one▓s life. Let us fulfill our life; not according to our own understanding; but according to our place in the Scriptures. I speak those words in a mystery, and with hidden wisdom. In time you shall know the meaning.

Now before I leave you this Sabbath, I recite these words: ⌠And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body▓s sake, which is the church: Whereof I made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints■ (Colossians 1:21-26).

May the Holy One of Israel keep you all in the Spirit of His Grace and the Righteousness of His Name. And let the people say, Amen.

I am sure you must have heard it said that we were born in sin≈and perhaps you even believe that. But let's think about that for a moment. Would the Just God blame you for a sin you never committed? Would He hold you responsible for what someone else did? Definitely not! God's book teaches that you are responsible for only your own actions. You cannot sin until you do something wrong. And you certainly could not have done wrong before you were even born.

Yet we often meet people who say that we are somehow born in sin. Could that possibly be true? They say that the first human being, Adam, sinned, and through him sin entered the world; and now sin corrupts everything, including every newborn baby. Can you follow that logic? Can you believe that human beings are condemned before they do anything? Which judge would condemn people for crimes they never committed? A just judge cannot do that except by mistake. But what about God? Would He make such a mistake? We cannot imagine such false ideas about God. He is Just. He holds you responsible for what you do, and He does not blame you I am sure you must have heard it said that we were born in sin≈and perhaps you even believe that.

He holds you responsible for what you do, and He does not blame you for what the first human being did.

But even after you do wrong, God is always willing to forgive. He is full of loving kindness, and He loves to forgive. He is willing to forgive anyone who turns to Him and seeks forgiveness. This means that if you did something wrong you can still turn back to God and He will forgive you, if you sincerely decide to give up that sin. Isn't this refreshing to know? Isn't it wonderful to know that even if we lived a whole life of sin but we decide now to change our lives and obey God He would forgive us this minute? And that's just between us and God. We don't need any confession box, and we don't need anyone to suffer for our sins. Can we resist the loving kindness that God is offering us?

God wants us to know about His love. He wants us to know that He is Just. He wants us to know the truth about Him so that when we turn to Him we know to Whom we are turning. But there is so much misinformation about God. Where can we get correct information about Him? In His book! That's so obvious, isn't it? God told us about Himself in His book. We owe it to ourselves to see what God has to say about Himself. Shouldn't you be reading God's book? Here's God's message to you in His book:

The Qur'an is God's final book which He revealed for the guidance of all humankind.

O mankind! Now has a proof from your Lord come unto you, and We have sent down unto you a clear light; as for those who believe in Allah and hold fast unto Him, them will He cause to enter into His mercy and grace, and will guide them unto Him by a straight road. (Qur'an 4:174-5)

The Qur'an is God's final book which He revealed for the guidance of all humankind

[Cornelius0]

The Quaran is not the final book. The final book is the Lamb's book of life. There is none innocent of sin, not even a newborn baby; because a baby is the resurrection of a spirit that walked in flesh. We are not condemned because of sin, but given grace through the blood of Jesus Christ, who even sent the prophet Mohammed. In the sermon archives on my website is a sermon called The Two Olive Trees, that explains true Israel and true Islam. I pray you read it along with the sermon Resurrection.

Peace, Love, and Blessings, in the Name of the Most High God!
