Authority is Fundamental

I agree with ThePreachersWord when the Reverend Ken Weliever says [the triune] God’s opinion is the only one that counts. Here’s why.

The LGBTQIA2S+ demographic is re-interpreting Scripture Passages they claim are “clobber” passages to change people’s opinions about “who can sleep with who” and when and how. This demographic says the Heterosexual demographic has been unkind and inhospitable to people such as them who God created in God’s own image and likeness.

The argument is: The Heterosexual demographic who adhere to Scripture define sexual immorality as any behaviour that does not promote the ideal that God spoke in the beginning, saying it is not good for Man to live alone. Then they conclude that it is God’s opinion that it is right for a man to leave his parents and unite with his wife and become one flesh.

Countering the Heterosexual demographic argument, the LGBTQIA2S+ demographic maintain that a wife can be another man. That seems reasonable for it is not good for human beings to live alone. Human beings should have companionship and the ability to increase that number.

However, within this growing demographic is the opinion that extra-marital relations with a consensual woman while married to (or cohabitating with) another man is okay with God. The linch pin of this argument comes from the widely held belief that Jesus never married. Although the Rabbi known as the forerunner, claimed Christ was the “bride belonging to the bridegroom” (John 3:28-29) and when Jesus was asked for a sign. Jesus replied. “A wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah” (Matthew 12:39).

The Great Commission as reported in Matthew (28:13) speaks to the guards paid by the chief priests and the elders to say that the disciples came and stole the body of Jesus out of the tomb while those on watch were sleeping.

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Is Jesus sleeping in heaven? Why then do Christians every Easter say Jesus is risen or more accurately, Christ is Risen, He is risen indeed? And what is meant with the Orthodox Chant?

Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death and those in the tombs, bestowing life!

When a man leaves his parents and unites with his wife, the two become one flesh (Genesis 2:24; Ephesians 5:32). A single kernel of wheat dies (John 12:24). The two die to their “single” lives and begin again as one new man, one new human family–even if they are old and past the child bearing age!

In keeping with the Forerunner’s Testimony, Christ is the Bride who belongs to the Bridegroom (John 28:29). At a Wedding, the family is born again and all in attendance who are awake and watching and waiting for the Bride and her chosen Bridegroom “belonging” to her and only to her to come and declare his eternal love for her. It is extremely hard for the Bride and all those waiting with her to wait for the HOUR when the Bridegroom is ready to declare his love for his chosen Bride.

Their witness and testimony will then invite those who were indeed asleep when the Rock sealing the Tomb, the heart of the Earth, rolls away and the body of Christ, rises, comes more and more alive as the Light of the Sun shines on the Bride belonging with her chosen Bridegroom and around them. Their JOY like that of the Rabbi known as the Forerunner aka John aka the Teacher of Israel [aka Moses born again], becomes complete, when the Bride’s chosen Bridegroom aka her Lord says…you know everything, you know that I love you!

Stop fishing in the dark. Proclaim your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ boldly. Stop denying the Rabbi’s testimony. He is not the long awaited Messiah. But he is Jesus the forerunner Paul testifies to in Hebrews 6:20), For he said. “‘You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but am sent ahead of Him. The Bride belongs with the Bridegroom [the Rock of Israel (Isaiah 30:29)]. Stop your doubting and fishing in the dark while Jesus the Light of the World (John 8:12) is clearly trying to heed the Forerunner’s call to repentance, to go and sin no more (John 8:11), and wake up those fishing in the dark to help them realize the Joy of Eternal Love that brings and sustains everlasting life on earth as it is in heaven!

Open your heart and remember how John’s Gospel reminds believers that Simon bar Jonah did not remain fishing in the dark. He declared his eternal love for Jesus, his Bride, the Woman Jesus called the Magdalene η Μαγδαληνή aka the Fish numbering 153 (John 21:11;17).
