I Appreciate Sin

 Short and sweet.

We are born in this world like all other mammals : self protective .. or shortened : self.

Jesus was clear that His Kingdom is not here. Thus, we are a bit clueless of how to become the kind of human that 'fits in' to that Kingdom. Obviously there are certain character traits we must have from our Soul. 

"Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence." John 18:36

The very common question of humanity is : "What is sin." and "Why do we sin?" and "Why is there sin."

Why is there sin? Why did God allow it?

The simplest answer is : Because without sin, we would not know what forgiveness is. Sin brings the gift called forgiveness. We learn that God forgives. We learn that people forgive. We learn that we forgive. We learn we have to forgive ourselves. None of this is possible without sin. 

You might say that God could care less about sin.  But the molded character trait called forgiveness is His focus and joy of imparting to those who will be in this mysterious Kingdom He is making. 

Sin is like bootcamp, no fun. But the honor at graduation is the molded character of forgiveness. 

God uses human sin to teach us a Part of His Own Character.  We are clueless about who God is from birth,  so it takes God to increase His Joy to teach us about Himself. 

Whatever this trait called forgiveness truly is,  it is a vital ingredient of who those humans are that God is preparing for His Kingdom. 

I appreciate sin .. it's the seed that grows into the character of forgiveness. 

This is what I believe.. comma,

Queen of Israel

Just pondering again.. Jesus came to Israel as 'Son of Man', so He could let them kill Him in order to blind them.. So He could get a Gentile Bride as 'Son of God' via the day of Pentecost template.. So that He could reveal Himself to Israel at the end time as 'Son of David' for the Millennium. Matthew 1:1 - "The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David , the son of Abraham. .." Mark 12:35 - "And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David?" Matthew 21:15 - "And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David ; they were sore displeased, 21:16 - And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?" " The Messiah of whom we have been s...

Israel Gentiles Constantine

Think about it, the Jews didn't kill Jesus. He just allowed Rome to kill him - but remember, only because he let them.  But after that, it was the Jews killing the ones that were called "Christians".  It was later that they were called Christians, a term which could put them in a box. Why kill Jesus and Christians? Mostly because of political and financial reasons that were being hindered by Jesus. Positions of power were threatened. The Jews themselves were very used to Gentile pagans and their multi god fiascos. It's just that this time they were using something that was close to their heart : Elohim. And later, the old friends of Paul didn't like what he was doing and so they tended to follow him around and torment people who were followers of Jesus of Nazareth, and the day of Pentecost had really thrown the curve ball of this situation. Years later Constantine took advantage of this with his not-so-wonderful political maneuver, and as a Gentile himself, he pul...

I Never Capitalize satan

The Bible is very clear that God made both good and that which is evil. God Himself is not evil, but he made the scenario - on purpose - that would let 'evil' manifest. "Thus G‑d created a world in which goodness and evil are equal options, and He created humanity with the freedom to choose." Chabad org "I am the Lord, there is none else; I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil" Isaiah 45:6-7 “See, I [God] have set before thee this day life and good, and death and  evil .” Deuteronomy 30:15 Rabbi Singer says it this way, "In essence, Satan is an agent of God, and has no free will or independent existence." He then discusses the book of Job and how satan had to ask God for permission. Then he adds his thought about Christians : "They clearly grasped that a Bible which asserts that God creates evil, calls into question Christendom’s rigid teachings on salvation." OutreachJudaism org The best interpretation, f...
