Chapter 8 - Two Gods
Chapter Eight - Two Gods
Saying to Aaron, “Make us gods to go before us” and they made a calf in those days and offered sacrifice unto the idol and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
Then God turned and gave them up to worship the host of heaven.
They took up the tabernacle of Moloch and the star of your god remphan, figures which you made to worship them.
The Jews worshipped Baal and many other gods. Now mankind has made the biggest idol of all time, the bible, a god made by hands.
Holy Spirit children live by faith, not by sight. We serve the invisible God, our God is a Spirit, not a book.
No man can truly say that Jesus is their Lord except by the Holy Spirit.
Romans 2:14 “For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:”
2 Corinthians 3:3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
Jesus’ sheep know His voice. The bible controls 2.6 billion people, they go to church because the bible says, they pay 10% of their money because the bible says, they go into all the world because the bible says.
They have built the old harlot with 37 million churches and God does not dwell in temples made with hands, our body is the temple of the Living God.
There are gods many and lords many, but to us there is only one God and one Lord Jesus Christ. But as for this world, they worship the bible, the bible has become an idol.
THE CROSS:
This is one of the biggest mistakes in the church today, they teach that the cross saves you which is not true. You are saved by grace through faith. The cross forgives sin, made the atonement, the propitiation and the redemption for our sins. The Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world.
There is no power in the blood, the power is in the Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead. The cross brings death to the flesh, life is in the Spirit.
The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead will quicken our mortal bodies.
After your sins are forgiven, you must take up your cross and follow Jesus. You give up life after the flesh, you are transformed, translated, regenerated, born again, filled with the Holy Spirit to become a witness for Christ.
Adam gave up the Spiritual life for the flesh life. Remember the fig leaves.
Jesus gave up the flesh for the Spirit. God needed a Holy Seed to replace Adams’ corrupted seed. The second man Adam was a quickening Spirit.
After Jesus rose from the dead, He sent the gift of the Holy Spirit. We are now connected back to our Creator, sons and daughters of God, not mere servants.
The cross was very hard on Jesus, He prayed “Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless, not my will, but thine, be done.”
Jesus wants us to live after the Spirit and not after the flesh. Sin was condemned in the flesh.
As I write this book, I think of the 57 years I have been in Christ. I am hated by most people that know me because I will not join them in their flesh life. I love the Spirit life.
I could have been a leader in big churches, but I do not want the flesh life.
