Thoughts, philosophy and religion cause the multitudes to follow that "broad way to destruction"! (Matthew 7:13)

The following was posted in response to a comment that simply stated, "Good thoughts!"
-------
i appreciate the encouragement yet it needs be REALized that "thoughts", and/or "philosophy", and/or "religion(Except The Active Faith revealed in James 1:27!)" walk hand in hand along that "broad way to destruction"! (Matthew 7:13)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/07/simply-progress-so-called-is-destroying.html

"Behold I(ego, id, self, pride) thought", has led the multitudes astray....... (II Kings 5:11; 5:1-14)

TRUTH IS! A soul needs "receive a love of The TRUTH to be saved" from their own thought filled self("l", ego, id, pride)life, and then Hopefully "Born Again" of The Holy, Set Apart, SPIRIT that - IS - Our FATHER and ELOHIM('God' IS of pagan greek mythology)! (II Thessalonians 2:10-13, I Peter 1:23, John 3:3,7)

"Set Your Affection On Things Above!" (Colossians 3:2)

(Colossians 3:1-3) "If you then are risen with The Messiah, seek those things which are above, where The Messiah sits on the right hand of Our FATHER and ELOHIM!  
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/our-father-and-god-john-2017.html

Set your affection(#5426) on things above(#507), not things on the earth.......

For you("I",ego,id,self,pride) are dead, and your Life IS hid with The Messiah IN Our FATHER and 
ELOHIM('God' IS OF Pagan Greek Mythology)"! (Colossians 3:1-3)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/05/i-must-die.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/06/are-you-alien-and-pilgrim-while-on-earth.html

5426  phroneo (fron-eh'-o); to exercise the mind, i.e. entertain or have a sentiment or opinion; by implication, to be(mentally) disposed(More or less earnestly in a certain direction!) intensively, to interest oneself in(With concern or obedience); from 5424 phren; understanding.

507  ano (an'-o); adverb from 473; upward or on the top.

"Set your affections on {Heavenly} things above, not things on the earth"! 

"The Messiah learned obedience by the things which He suffered"? (Hebrews 5:8)

"Get understanding!" (Proverbs 4:5-7; 16:16)

The Messiah "learned obedience"? (Hebrews 5:8)

Yes, a soul could say that "The Messiah learned obedience", because as a child The Messiah subjected Himself unto His natural parents. (Luke 2:43-51)

However, why would The Messiah need to "learn obedience"?

Was He not obedient?

Would not disobedience be sin?

Yet The Messiah "was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin!" (Hebrews 4:15)

Someone asked, "Why does GOD do nothing"!

"Why does GOD do nothing"? 

Someone had asked that question because liken unto all "natural" men and women, they "see" and REALize only that which IS of 'D'evil's world and/or religion's way(Except those souls who have REALized The Active Faith as revealed in James 1:27!) in these last days! So IT IS they can not discern nor comprehend that which IS of The SPIRIT that IS "Our FATHER and ELOHIM('God' IS of pagan greek mythology)"! (John 7:7, I John 2:15-17; 5:19, James 1:27; 4:4, I Corinthians 2:14, John 20:17)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/08/natural-life-is-but-shadow-of-life.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-whole-world-not-just-portion-is.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2008/10/pure-and-undefiled-religion.html

And they asked, "Why does GOD do nothing?" because those of 'D'evil's world and/or religion's way(Except it be The Active Faith as revealed in James 1:27!) in these last days are destroying Creation(air, water, land, vegetation, creatures), even as they evermore ignore and/or pervert that which IS of The Holy, Set Apart, SPIRIT that IS "Our FATHER and ELOHIM(TRUTH, Light, Life, Peace, Love, Faith, Grace, Mercy,,,,,,, ALL that is Truly GOOD)"! (Revelations 11:18d, :8, Isaiah 47:10, Jeremiah 23:6, Romans 16:18)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/07/simply-progress-so-called-is-destroying.html

"Knowledge, falsely so-called"! (I Timothy 6:20)

Believing that one has "knowledge" because they understand that which IS physical and temporal IS liken unto "knowledge, falsely so-called", for such has it's portion within the shadows, vapors, and smoke that "will soon pass away"; "here today and gone tomorrow"! (I Timothy 6:20, I John 2:17, I Peter 1:24)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/07/your-hope-eternal-or-temporal.html

TRUTH IS! "If any man thinks he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know"!
(I Corinthians 8:2)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2017/05/thoughts-philosophy-and-religion-cause.html

For TRUE KNOWLEDGE and WISDOM ARE GIFTS that, liken unto the breath(Spirit/air) that sustains this natural life, needs be received!  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/10/thinker-or-receiver.html

"Has not ELOHIM made the wisdom of 'D'evil's world foolish"! (I Corinthians 1:20)

(I Corinthians 1:20-21) "Where IS the wise man? Where IS the scribe? Where IS the debater of this age? Has not ELOHIM made the wisdom of 'D'evil's world foolish? 

For since, in The Wisdom of ELOHIM('God' IS of pagan greek mythology!), the world through its' wisdom did not come to know HIM; ELOHIM(Brethren(naturally male or 'fe'male) of The Messiah ARE Hebrew!) was well pleased, through the foolishness(According to the wise of 'D'evil's world!) of the message preached, to save those who believe!" (I Corinthians 1:20-21)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2020/04/who-is-hebrew.html

Simply, True Wisdom IS of The Holy, Set Apart, SPIRIT that IS of Our FATHER and ELOHIM! And as ALL that IS Truly GOOD, such Wisdom needs be received from HIM!
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/our-father-and-god-john-2017.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/11/all-that-is-truly-good-is-spirit-and.html

So IT IS "the wisdom of 'D'evil's world IS considered foolishness by ELOHIM", for IT IS written, “HE IS The ONE WHO catches the worldly wise souls in their own craftiness”! (I Corinthians 1:20, 3:19, Job 5:13)

Apart from The TRUTH, 'love' remains but a four letter word rightly called 'lust'! (Genesis 3:1-7)

And TRUTH - IS - ! "The LORD ELOHIM('God' IS of pagan greek mythology!) commanded the man, saying, 'Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat: but of "the tree of the knowledge of good and evil", thou shall not eat: for in the day that you eat thereof you will surely die'"! (Genesis 2:16-17)

(Genesis 3:6) Yet, "when the wo(mb)man saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasing to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise; she took of the fruit and did eat, and gave such unto her husband with her, and he did eat." (Genesis 3:6)

And TRUTH IS! "Apart from The TRUTH(Liken unto "Thou shall not eat" of the fruit!), love remains but a four letter word rightly called lust"! (Genesis 2:17)

And the wo(mb)man(Eve) proved such to be when she denied The TRUTH as she succumbed unto the lust(Love) of the flesh(When she saw that the tree was good for food)!

The lust(Love) of the eyes(The fruit was pleasing to her eyes)! 

And the lust(Love) that IS the pride(A tree to be desired to make one wise!) of life("I", ego, id, self, pride)!
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/05/i-must-die.html

The Messiah testified, "Why do you call Me good? There - IS - none GOOD but ONE, HE WHO - IS - ELOHIM"! (Mark 10:18)

Thankfully i have REALized if that which i think, do, or speak - IS - of "The Will and Good Pleasure" of "Our FATHER and ELOHIM", such - IS - GOOD! (John 20:17, Philippians 2:13, Mark 10:18, Psalms 31:5)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/07/father-not-my-will-but-thy-will-be-done.html

And most certainly - IS NOT - of the "I(ego, id, self, pride)" yet within me....... (Romans 7:14-25)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/05/i-must-die.html

For TRUTH IS! Only that which - IS - of The SPIRIT that - IS - Our FATHER and ELOHIM - IS - Truly GOOD! (Mark 10:18, John 4:24)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-messiah-testified-spirit-has-not.html

Not that which i have done, but that which HE has done for me, and in me! (Titus 3:5, Philippians 2:13)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-declaration-of-dependence.html

Someone testified, "Perhaps New Jerusalem Is"?

Not perhaps.......

MOST CERTAINLY NEW Jerusalem IS!

And NEW "Jerusalem which IS above IS free, and IS !NOW! The Mother of us all(Spiritually "Born Again" son's{naturally male or 'fe'male} of Our FATHER and GOD)"! (Galatians 4:26, John 3:3,7, I Peter 1:23)

Thankfully "The Mother" of the "Born Again" brethren(naturally male or 'fe'male) of The Messiah IS no longer "mother earth"; earthly, temporal and of the flesh....... For "NEW Jerusalem" IS Heavenly, Eternal, and of The SPIRIT that IS TRUTH!
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/10/a-born-again-experience_15.html

Sadly, seems those souls who call themselves "full preterists(Those souls who believe there was no longer any prophecies in the 'bible' that were not fulfilled when old jerusalem was destroyed in 70 AD!)" are no different than the pagan catholic and christian "church(ed)" clones!  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/12/truth-is-most-high-does-not-dwell-in.html

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/heaven-is-my-throne-and-earth-is-my.html

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/10/someone-accused-me-of-being-member-of.html

For they also are bound in the chains of "strong delusion" that are created when one attempts to mix a portion of The TRUTH with theo'ry'logical doctrinal heresies and/or philosophical folklore! 

(II Thessalonians 2:10-13)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/religion-was-and-is-yet-needful-for.html

Believing - IS - in the receiving and the doing, not thinking!

Believing - IS - in the receiving, and then the doing of "The Will and GOOD Pleasure of Our FATHER and ELOHIM", not the doing of one's own thoughts(Vain "imag"inations!)! (Luke 22:42, Philippians 2:13, Romans 1:21, II Corinthians 10:5)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/03/sadly-imagination-and-interesting-walk.html

Yet for such to be, a soul needs "receive a love of The TRUTH to be saved" from their own self("I", ego, id, pride)ish vain "imag"inations! (II Thessalonians 2:10-13)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/05/i-must-die.html

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2013/05/one-needs-receive-love-of-truth-to-be.html

The TRUTH which testifies, that liken unto The Messiah so also have His brethren(naturally male or 'fe'male) REALized, "i can do nothing of my own self"! (John 5:19,30; 8:28-29; 7:16; 12:49-50; 14:10,23-24; 17:8,14)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-messiah-testified-i-can-do-nothing.html

Yet, "Behold 'I(ego,id,self,pride)' thought" - IS - a problem common to all mankind!
