Matthew 11:13 says, " For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John."

Until John. The prophets have spoken in the Old Testament concerning Israel, and the prophesies had their literal end when Jesus said, "It is Finished" upon the Cross.

The way we use Old Testament Prophecies is to gauge the world we live in today, and measure it up to Christ's standard. Jeremiah, and Ezekiel and Isaiah, for instance, have good teaching lessons about civilizations which abandon the truth. Micah and Hosea have good lessons about individual conduct, which our lives, according to Hosea, ought to line up with. 

The Old Testament is God's Judgment, and Christ is the Redemptive Power, the restoration of our soul, being saved from the condemnation of the Law. And written into works like Micah, are beautiful verses such as, "In the day that your walls are to be built, in that very day, the decree shall be far removed." Meaning, those of us who have made the mistake of yoking ourselves to the Old Covenant for salvation, will be redeemed through Christ, who is the prophetic restoration called for in Nehemiah and Ezra.

The "Last Days" in Old Testament prophecy refer to the days leading up to and shortly after Christ's resurrection. Meaning, that our restoration is found through Christ, and our redemption from the Law is also found through Christ. 

It's a surprising verse, but it's one of utmost importance. The Old Testament's revelation is finished, completely, in Jesus Christ on the Cross. The destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, and the Roman Siege of Israel were the final moments of Old Testament prophecy. And we are now in a new age, where our revelation comes from Christ, and Christ alone. Our revelation comes through the Apostleship, and not through the prophets in the Old Testament.

However, this does not mean that the Old Testament is false. It discovers the world's judgment, and brings condemnation on those who are not in Christ Jesus. Those who are fallen, or filled with iniquity, the prophets of the Old Testament call forth judgment on, even entire nations, tongues and tribes.

Therefore, we as Christians can use it, to understand God's judgment, but that judgment is not yoked upon our necks. We have escaped divine judgment, and are called to obey a lighter covenant, one in Christ's blood, to the purification of our souls through affliction, until Christ Jesus restores us like Job.

Jesus never said Homosexuality was a sin
Yet, he said "‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’"

Jesus never said anything about abortion
Yet he said, "whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me."

Jesus never said anything about being the only way
Yet Jesus said "I am the way and the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me."

Therefore, what the evil ones say Jesus didn't say,
He said, and more, with much compassion on we sinners
To die for us, and thereby, transfix our sins to the grave. 

Jesus was an INFP. Not an INFJ. And I'll explain why.

Jesus was introverted. As opposed to extroverted. He had twelve apostles follow Him around, but he got most of His energy by spending time alone. We know that Jesus was in prayer at this time, so He was setting an example for us to follow. When we need recharged, to go out into the wilderness and pray. Yet, Jesus would also leave His disciples, and spend time in the desert, or in the gardens, or once even leaving them unmoor their ship, while he stayed on the coast, and then walked to them atop the water. Jesus was certainly an introvert.

Jesus was intuitive. Intuition is the ability to see things beyond what we sense. It's the ability to understand things without having direct evidence. It's a key aspect of faith, but Jesus was intuitive---prophetically---knowing details about people's lives without having known them. He wasn't a fortune teller, but rather had direct revelation from God, yet we can say this is a sort of intuition. Not to mention, His teachings peered into the very workings of true ethics. No sage in history had ever developed a more cogent philosophy. No sage could. Some tried, but they were far behind Jesus in their understandings.

Jesus was a feeler, not a thinker. He was empathetic, compassionate, and He loved very hard. He once made whips of chords and cast out the buyers and sellers in the temple. He had wrath, but He also had moments of great compassion. When He set free the woman caught in adultery, or when He had compassion on the Samaritan woman at the well. Or, when He healed the invalid at Bethesda. Jesus was compassionate---some men don't even understand the compassion of Jesus, and the goodness of Him.

And here's the controversial one. Many people place Jesus as a "Judger." Yet, Jesus said of Himself, "I have not come to judge the world, but to save it." Judgment is the ability to prioritize, create order. Jesus lived His life in disorder. It's an interesting thing about Him, that He moved almost like a ship being blown about by the wind. And the Wind was the Spirit. He didn't plan---He forbid planning---He forbid judging, and the Judge sense is one who constructs a sense of right and wrong, and orders things around them. The Perceiver is one who, rather, witnesses things going on around him, and attempts to understand it. Though, Jesus would understand intuitively what's true, He also saw things as they are, as opposed to creating a personal sense of "Ought". Which is interesting about His teachings is that there is no "ought" about it, but rather they are an accurate description of how moral truth actually is.

This verse came to me in the book of Isaiah. And, it occurred to me, "What is the intelligence of an Earth Worm." I wanted to know, so I could accurately gauge my intelligence with regard to comparison with God. Not for pride---but, to get an estimation of what my intelligence is compared to God.

It became apparent to me, that an Earth Worm has a little cluster of cells, that are somewhat similar to the human brain. Yet, that pathway is mostly used for instinctual operations in the Earthworm. It doesn't think, so to speak, but rather moves with a sort of instinctual intelligence. It may even have some form of memory.

It became clear to me, however, searching another database, that Darwin and a philosopher relegated them to having an intelligence incomparable to that of a human's. That a dog and man had more in common, and had certain reaches of intellect similarly. Such thing may be mystically referred to the Cherubim, something like comparing a man to an elephant or dolphin. Yet, a man and a worm are two, incomprehensibly different forms of intelligence. It's the difference between a little cluster of cells which form complex behavior, and an entire neural synapsis developed for memory, problem solving, speech and higher rational functions.

A human and worm are so far removed from one another, that they are two entirely different forms of intelligence. The one being only moves in a reactive pattern, is far different than the complex thinking patterns of even a lower functioning invalid. Even being able to understand speech in a logocentric way, as opposed to a cat or dog which only understands phonemes which harken it to behavioral reactions. Or an elephant able to do basic levels of art. Even a mentally handicapped child, with severe disability is more intelligent than a cat, per say, for they have the ability to understand strings of sentences. Whereas, this same individual is so far removed from a worm, which hasn't even the ability to do much of anything, beside perhaps remember sensations. Sort of like a tube of flesh.

Which, gets to the picture of the analogy in Isaiah. Humans have flesh. Their flesh makes them weak, prone to fear, and much unlike God Who is a purely Spiritual being; even Christ in His resurrected body is of a matter much different than our own. It's the best way to understand it, how human beings likened to a worm---not even an ant or caterpillar, which have some level of functional IQ. Not likened to a vegetable or tree which probably has a higher ability for cognitive thinking than even a worm. Some may say trees are incredibly intelligent due to their communication through roots, and have memories, which even that, we are not compared to. We are compared to a worm. Which is smarter than a single celled microbe. Which, perhaps an animal like a dolphin is like this microbe. And perhaps a worm, at the very bottom, is something like strands of DNA, in this comparison I'm making.

Which, is interesting to think about, how our intelligence cannot even be compared to God's. It is fundamentally different in nature, as different as a worm's and man's. It is so far beyond the scope of our imagination. Though, God is infinitely wiser than the comparison I've drawn. A man and worm are distanced in intelligence in a finite way. God's intelligence is distanced from us in a manner infinitely greater. Should a man and worm be a line segment. The man, being a point, wouldn't even be a ray reaching out to God's intellect. We'd be like that point on a one dimensional plane, and God would be in a dimensional plane more complex than a graph of infinite dimensions. Humans, being that point on a one dimensional plane. God is even further beyond us than that; it is something my mind, in all its creativity, couldn't even fathom. That is the depths of God's wisdom.

In my letter, where I pretend to be Apollos, it says, "Do not accept this heresy." It is strong, insinuating to me, that though all the teaching is correct, it is not to be added to the Bible---nor is anything I wrote to be added to it. It is, merely, my teaching given by God. Directly from Him, yet, like Pilgrim's Progress, which ought not be retained in the Bible. It is a fiction. It is heresy, should it be imbued with the sanctity of Holy Scripture. That is why the line pops out, yet the teaching is sound doctrine.

I was lifted up in the Spirit, and two seraphim sung to me. I will not describe the seraphim, but they had six wings; but I saw their face and legs, and this I will not reveal, for it is a mystery. They sung the Cherubim hymn. The Cherubim are the majesty, the top order of the angels---not the second. The Cherubim are the four creatures seated at God's throne, given power and dominion over wisdom. The Seraphim are given power and dominion over love for God.

They sung the Cherubim hymn in perfect Latin. Telling me to set aside my cares for this world. They kept repeating the line, "Let us set aside the cares for this life," saying "Nosotros" in the lyric.

How do we fulfill this? Simply put, I think it's to ignore the worldly wisdom, the promise of gain, the promise of fortune, and the cares of this life. And it's to dwell on God and His Spirit. As the Cherubim mystically represent Wisdom---perhaps it is God telling me to discover and divine His wisdom, so I can help others set aside the cares of this life. Maybe, by teaching Christ, I will unburden them the yokesome weight of worldly success, worldly truth and worldly religion. 

How to unburden that? I do not know. It doesn't mean not to work. It doesn't mean not to care, or stop providing for your family. It means, rather, to lay aside the burden of worldly success---the dominion of Satan and the pressure to perform. It's to unburden and slacken the yoke this world lays upon us, telling us to pursue riches, fame, fortune, wealth, honor, glory and gold. Rather, to seek God's kingdom first, so we may receive Christ graciously, and be seen doing our priestly duties.

Paul says, "He who does not work, does not eat." But, those who work simply to eat, or those who work for the approval of others, this is the world and all it represents. We who mystically represent the Cherubim reject these notions, and all sound wisdom do we implore.

There is more. The world weighs on the soul a massive burden. It wishes us to accept sin, to rejoice in wrongdoing, to desire, covet, work fruitlessly and tirelessly on things material and vain. We ought to be satisfied in our lot, wherever we are. If poor, as poor. If rich, giving the poor their needs accordingly. If in between, sharing the burdens of the less fortunate. We who mystically represent the Cherubim, we are given salvation through the rejection and denial of this world. Not through accepting, or working in it. The famous like Jordan Peterson, Paul Washer, Ray Comfort---although some of them doing good work for the kingdom, and some utterly evil and steeped in wrongdoing---we ought not covet these worldly positions. Neither pope, nor president, nor lawyer, doctor, scholar, master or sage. Rather, we are to do our little works here, unburdening the weak from their burden and taxation put on them by the rich, who lord over them the wealth of nations, and tell them they are inferior minded for not having obtained such position and status. This is what we unburden from ourselves. Neither to be great men like Paul, or Jeremiah or King Saul, but to be within our means, taking the meagre bread we can afford with satisfaction, and as a Chinese proverb goes, "Happy belly, happy life." Neither fruitlessly pursuing food, but rather being provided with the manna from heaven, which is God's word. Let our bellies be filled with God's word, and our mouths filled with truth. And let this feed us, whether as farmers, carpenters, painters, electricians, plumbers, writers, pastors, theologians, doctors, lawyers, tax officials, servant or king. Let God's word feed us, and fill our mouths and bellies, so we can be filled with good, and not care for the things of this life, pursuing the empty vanity of worldly success, achievement, or notoriety. If a Pulitzer Prize, only for Jesus. And if none, for Jesus as well, so long as it ministers with wisdom. If a Super Bowl ring, only for Jesus---for He decides and decrees who wins these honors, if there is an honest sport. Rather, let us work in the honesty of our professions, whatever it is, so enjoyment and satisfaction can rain down upon us. Not for these things alone,---I speak foolishly, yet don't---but for the glory of the Kingdom in honesty, truth and meekness.

What we do, we are given by God to be great Chess players, honest folk and workmen, bakers, butchers and smiths;  craftsmen, piano players, fashioners of toys, games, and the great furnishings which we all enjoy. Yet, make these things rubbish, should they be taken away in an instance. Make them counted less than a filthy rag, to be thrown away, if in peril for the Kingdom. Lay down the burden of chasing these things... receive the bounty God has given, if through honest gain. Yet, never put these things so highly that you will cause others to lose their portions, their spoils, their success... for this is idolatry. To covet what is not yours, nor rightfully, even as a poor man,---lay aside the burden of this world. For there will always be poor, and many poor are honorable, never stealing, never backbiting, always gracious for their received gifts. And these, I tell you, have great portions awaiting them in the kingdom, greater than I or any other man, for having suffered needlessly in life. For they have given up everything, and are called Apostles, taken out of the world and given new names. Let us be like them, ready at a moment to lay aside the dust of gold for the kingdom of heaven. For, if our flight is now, we must lay aside even family and friends and allies if it means fleeing to a kingdom which is safer. For, Jeremiah spoke to Judah, saying, "Flee unto Babylon." Not because Babylon was better than their home, but because it was just, and thereby they would not be cruelly mistreated by their own brethren.

Be ready to lay aside all cares, all burdens---super bowl rings, world cups, Pulitzer and Nobel prizes, Fame, Fortune, Grandmastery,---if these things come at the cost of covetousness. Lay them aside, if they come at the cost of sin and unburden yourself with the cares of this world. If one must sin to attain these paltry riches, then it is better to be the poor out on the street. If, by worldly measure, one must sin in order to be successful... then it is better to live like half the world and suffer a short time, than to live luxuriously and spend an eternity in hell.

Yet, for all of this, remember America was good.

Love disciplines. Love does not sit idly, while someone puts themselves in danger. Or others. Sometimes, it is also loving to destroy.

When we know God's love, it is not all forgiving, unless you repent. It is not all loving, unless you repent. God's enemies will not receive His love. They will receive the Sword as judgment, and the Worm shall eat into them for eternity, in the prison of hell.

That is love. As, would God be loving, if He allowed evil to reign, and thereby create suffering for everyone? No one able to truly love, because we have redefined love as "No Rebuke"? The danger, of course, is that this current trend continues, and in God's wrath, He gives the nation over to its sin, like He did in Russia and China. And allow enormous suffering for a century, like He did in those nations. Which, only now are beginning to attain righteousness, and thereby receive some of their freedom.

Righteousness exalts a nation. Sin destroys it. Would it be loving for God to allow the nations to suffer for seventy years, with no rest, no hope, hatred of the very things which make life good? Is that love? As Homosexuals hate good. They, by their very being, convince others to renounce healthy love, and thereby gain hedonistic pleasure. Love is but chemicals. Love is but a fleeting desire. Love is but the dirty filth created from sodomy and illicit sex. That is love. And true love, it is scorned, berated, falsely said to not exist. It is hated, women are taught to hate their husbands, and men are taught to be slaves to their wives' whim. And there can be no happiness.

Ought God judge now? To remove the sin from us? Or, ought He succumb us to the sin, like a cancer, and we must bear the enormous pain for years on end without having it removed? For it is love which tells the patient, "Bear under this pain and burden, for your suffering is good and noble, the physicians will do nothing for it is not your choice"? Do any homosexuals wish to be so? Why not offer them redemption? Tell them they do not have to be what they are? They can be celibate, or even by miraculous grace have that abomination removed from their very DNA.

The danger, of course, is accepting homosexuality as normal, and thereby destroying marriage, love, trust, childbearing... having false accusations of rape which make no man and no woman able to love one another, having disloyal and domineering women who make their male consorts slaves, and their families slaves to their lack of judgment.

This is how the world was created by God. And given that men and women are built to follow God's law---because God is infinitely wise, and knows good better than we do ourselves---we can attain to true happiness by willingly following God's law. As, right now the world is miserable, on the brink of war; men and women are each other's enemies; races are warring amongst one another; nobody will forgive; theft, covetousness and lawlessness are abounding, for fools think these things are noble. And the danger, above all else, is that men are infinitely unhappy, and unwise, and cannot attain to true joy or satisfaction anymore on this Earth. Which is contrary to what the Earth was made for. Despite there being suffering for this world's being imperfect, let our suffering be a reminder of the things to come. And our joy made complete in the obedience to God's Law. 

I had about an hour's long conversation about my philosophy of Logos with a friend. And I had noted the sensation of it turning into a debate. There was that antagonism, that shame, that hearty readiness for a rebuttal. I, then, listened. As what else could I do if someone were so adamant about their view.

The topic was on Hebrews 11:1. Which in the KJV is interpreted as "The substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things unseen." In his translation it was, "The assurance of things hoped for, the conviction about things unseen." We got lost in the rabbit hole of Interlinear translations, to which I drew out my own interpretation, which is likely the most accurate with regard to the original Greek, "The understanding of things hoped for, and the exposing of things not seen."

To which, Paul says not to quarrel about words. So, I simply laid out the evidence of God's existence. The Moral Law and the Fruit of the Spirit. As, these two go hand in hand. That we ought to minister, as Paul said, with power and not through man's reason. What is that power? It is kindness. Love. Patience. And if we obey those teachings---and others such as the Sabbath's Rest or to not Covet---we find ourselves happier. For that is the Logos, is God's word, as evidenced by the Great Sages who speak it through having found it by diligent search. It became clear to me that for a man to be a sage, he must have found God's word on his own. I had known this already, but I communicated it.

Where he disagreed was in the sense that he interpreted what I had to say as "Reason". I do use reason, as firmly based on the evidence for the faith. The overwhelming evidence, but that reason is not something which a man can put under a microscope, nor scratch at with a scalpel. It is rather something that comes through understanding the meaning, and sense of the world around you. To which, in that meaning---the invisible evidence---we discover God's existence.

He furthermore stated that one need assurance and conviction. I agreed wholeheartedly, yet what can a man stand on assuredly, without evidence? That is why Faith exposes what is unseen. It draws forth the hidden meanings and truths, which sensibly can be communicated and only a fool would refute it. This does not stop many men from being foolish. But, as the Founders of our Constitution felt, truth was self evident and established in God's Law. That God's Law was self evident---and on that framework, was our entire constitution framed. That truth is self evident. And surely it is, given that what we see from diverting from that truth is the pathways which directly cause suffering.

That is why God is true, because we observe what is true, and see it firmly establishes the Law God laid down in the Holy Scripture. Which, if one reads the Holy Scripture scientifically, they neither find meaning or reason because they are looking to describe the miraculous with something mundane. Rather, the end of our conversation derived the true meaning of faith, which is in light of the overwhelming evidence that God is Who He claims in the Bible, we can rest assuredly that the things we do not understand---such as King Saul's Death, Noah's Flood or Adam and Eve in the Garden and the Tower of Babel---are sufficiently provided through the omnipotence of God's love. For without that Love firmly established and rooted in the truth, what would life be but despair and suffering?
