Forgiveness – Past the Surface

Between Death and Life

Every day we all find ourselves between things. We are in the middle of
choosing this one or that one. We are always between choices. You and I are always in the middle of something whether we are aware of it or not.

As a child you had to make choices. Some choices were fun and some were no fun at all. Parent(s), siblings, neighbors, teachers, coaches, relatives, and many others put you in a place between choices.

The sad part about choices is once you have decided the results could be bad and you had to find out the hard way it was a bad choice. Good choices have a glow about them with a feeling it was a divine plan that was meant to be falling into your hands.

Some things we are between we have a choice and in others we have NO choice. Having the freedom to choose is great, but you don’t know how great that freedom is until you are between something and the choice lies in others.

The Scene: John Chapter 8

In one country they had strict laws. People were to follow the letter of the
law. If anyone broke the letter of the law they were to be punished according to the level of the law they broke. Husbands and wives were to have intercourse with no one else, but their spouses.

A teacher was born into this country with God anointed understandings of the letter of the law God gave the people. The religious leaders did not like his interpretation of the letter of the law because it was pure and a side they had never seen in the letter of the law.

The God sent teacher was at the temple when a group of religious leaders of men brought a woman throwing her down at the teacher’s feet. The men told the teacher this woman was caught in the act of adultery and the letter of the law says she should be stoned to death for breaking it.

I can see the teacher God sent on one side and the group of men with rocks in their hands on the other side. The woman is the one that got my attention. She was in between them. She had made her choices in life of which side she would choose. She is now in the middle of Death or Life.

Now, she is in between two sides with her choice in their hands. She had
already heard the one side giving their choice of stone her to death according to the letter of the law. She is waiting to hear the response of the God sent teacher.

What they all did not know this teacher from God was the letter of the law in flesh and much more. This man on the other side of this woman was the Word made flesh (Jn. 1:14). He was and is the living letter of the law come to complete the law for mankind. He was and is the Word in the beginning of creation. He was the letter of the law of the order of things here on earth and in the heavens above.

This man teacher in the flesh had the Spirit of the Almighty God that stood on one side of Adam and Eve with the devil on the other side. The Spirit of God was the letter of law of order and protection, if you eat this one particular fruit you will surely die. This man before the woman was the letter of the law with flesh and blood.

The devil was there saying kill them the letter of the law demands it. God
knew it had to be done, but not right at that moment. Death and sin was passed onto all mankind through Adam and Eve, but the execution was not at that very moment. God inserted into the birth channel of mankind a promise of one day returning to fulfill the letter of the law’s requirements for His children.

This is what was on the other side of the woman waiting to be stoned to
death for her guiltiness of adultery. We all have experienced people condemning us and very few seeing past our regrets and wishes we had never done what we had done or said.

She was in the middle of death on one side and unknown of the other side. The teacher/master began to speak as the woman hearing the words pass over her to the men with stones. He said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” The death side had words to think about from the other side, which is revealed to be the side of life for the woman.

She was between the choices of Death or Life with no control on what the
final outcome will be. She was sitting between the letter of the law from the Old Testament and the spirit of the law in the New Testament of God. She was between the devil calling for her death and God saying not death right now, but life.

I see her as I do see us today between the Old Testament of the letter of
the law and the New Testament of Jesus Christ fulfilling the Law for us. All of us are born under the letter of law that demands a payment of death – a letter that killeth if you will, but on the other side of us is the Spirit of Jesus offering the payment in our place through him unto eternal life.

The woman hearing the words of Jesus had to realize no one there was without sin to cast the first stone, but still what choice will they make. Will they defy the words of Jesus, the teacher of God? She hears one stone drop, but there are many men. One stone could still be the death of her. It must be all of them with a unanimous choice for her to live. The stones started dropping one by one from the oldest man in the group down to the youngest.

All was quiet around the woman until she heard the one man who had no sin and the right to through the first stone say to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” She looked around to see none of her accusers, only the stones meant for her death on the ground. (11) She
said, “No one, sir“.

The wall of men demanding the letter of the law that killeth to be fulfilled
were gone and the one man from the other side said to her, “Then
neither do I condemn you. Go now and leave your life of sin“.

I see all of us in the middle between these two eternal forever set in place
laws that will be executed. Adam and Eve’s situation has not changed to this day for the letter of the law of death to be fulfilled, but not right now. We have time to choose the other side with Jesus stepping in our place fulfilling the law through himself setting us free to eternal life.

All we have to do is to leave our life of sin turning against it in a
repentful way, be baptized/submerged in water in Jesus name applying his blood of atonement/forgiveness on us, and receive the power of his Spirit inside of us (Acts 2:38 the plan of salvation). The stones of death will be dropped to the ground around us and we will walk away with life and life more abundantly.

We are free to make choices everyday no matter if they are good or bad. We are in the same position like that woman between death and life, but the difference is we have the choice right now to choose eternal life joining the side of Jesus or wait until death visits us later with an unchanging eternal sentence of death.

Choose Jesus and your accusers have no power to inflict upon you their
decisions and look up to see only Jesus with all the death tools lying on the
ground with no power.

We are all in the middle. I want you to feel the forgiveness I have felt. Whom do you choose?

The Blood of God

“The Blood of God” carries an impossibility having the two in the same sentence. What I have come to cherish and adore about God is what is impossible to man is possible with Him. The greatest exploration any one person could ever dare themselves to take would be with happiness in their heart to feel after God, and find Him because He is not far from anyone of us (Acts 17:27).

He will drop thoughts into your mind and if your heart is brave enough to join into following that thought to the end of the path you may discover something about yourself, others, and God in a more perfect understanding than you had before. This is what I believe makes every one of us unique in how He presents Himself to our different levels of perceiving and understanding. What is really awesome is the different unique way always comes together in oneness with His word and His Spirit.

With me He connects everyday ordinary things with His scriptures in my little mind and the row of street lights come on lighting the path down an area I have not explored before. My hopes are that if I follow him to the end of the path of understanding I may know Him more and help anyone else who may read what He has given me.

“The Blood of God” dropped into my thoughts on the importance of blood. Most people reading or hearing the word “blood” get that grossed out chill in their system. Blood is our life line to live in this world. Without blood in our bodies none of us could exist.

Blood in our bodies goes back to the beginning with Adam and Eve. It really blows up our minds to think of the complexity of our bodies due to the fact they are made in the image and likeness of God if He were to be of solid form. Everything in our bodies is a tiny reflection of understanding aspects of God Himself.

This is cool when God breathed a part of His Spirit into Adam the body made of the dust of the earth was immediately converted into an individual living tissue no longer just dirt. Adam’s individuality as a son of God started a life flowing blood in that body made of clay. The life of the flesh is in the blood and it was given to mankind and other creatures (Lev. 17:11). Simply, the blood is the life to our flesh that houses our spirit allowing us to exist in this world. Blood is the solid form of life.

God is a spirit (Jn. 4:24). It is easy to understand that God is a Spirit being everywhere at once at the same time. An omnipresent spirit could accomplish being in all places at once without diminishing. Mankind was created and all his children having a spirit in one place at one time in a fleshly body with bones made of this earth (Lu. 24:39).

God being a Spirit in all places at once explains why He tells us He is only one God and there is no other beside Him (Is. 45:5). There is no place that is outside of Him that could be counted as two just like we could claim there is only one of us inside our bodies. There is no place inside our bodies that could be counted as a second us. Scientists and doctors could tell you how much like the universe we are inside our own tiny bodies.

Now, let us enter into the “impossibilities” of “The Blood of God” being together in the same sentence. When we sinned against God converting the whole earth and ourselves into death, disease, and the grave God stepped in as a loving Father providing a way of forwarding our sins through the life of the flesh in blood upon the altars making an atonement for our souls (Lev. 17:11) until that day a final atonement would come. God said there would be a seed of mankind that would pay the death penalty mankind incurred from sinning against God.

The Holy Spirit took an egg of a virgin woman named Mary and gave it life (Mtt. 1:18) starting the pregnancy of the promise seed to atone mankind’s sin. This was different than breathing into Adam creating a separate living soul. The egg inside the virgin Mary was given the All present Spirit (Jn. 3:34). The All Present Spirit of God is in all places at once, but can be focused in a single body without diminishing or taking away from other places. Your spirit and my spirit are born into one location of our bodies, but the egg inside of Mary had the present everywhere God. “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” (Col. 2:9). This is where the “The Blood of God” impossibilities is explained.

God, the Father of all creations, is an All Present Spirit without blood. His Holy Spirit that gave that single point egg inside of Mary does not have blood, but that egg that was born with the everywhere present God did have blood in its flesh. This egg became the Second Adam of God (1 Cor. 15:45) to save us from death giving us life in its place. God fulfilled His promise of that seed being born to save mankind to Adam and Eve. He fulfilled the words of Abraham that God will provide Himself a sacrifice (Ge. 22:8).

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.” (Jn.1:1, 14). When Jesus was born he was a man of blood and inside of him was the all present Spirit of God – “The Blood of God“. What is impossible with man is possible with God. God has no other place that He can claim has His own pure (keyword – pure) blood. We were given a separate individual soul life existence of flesh and blood of which was squander away to sin and death.

Now, can you imagine the power of this blood of this man housing the focused fullness of the Godhead bodily (Col. 2:9), but NOT diminishing God’s presence from everywhere else? This is why when we say, “God” you are speaking about something that is way beyond what mankind can think or imagine. This explains how God can speak from heaven with a voice, descend as like a dove, and be in the water at the same time (Mtt. 3:16, 17). He is not limited .

How high is the level of importance of the blood of this man, Jesus? This man was the egg inside the virgin Mary brought to life by the Holy Spirit of God for the sole purpose of sharing in their humanity as flesh and blood to break the power of death setting free to those he make the choice of wanting freedom from death (Heb. 2:14, 15). This was God partaking in our everyday life living among us providing His blood for our freedom. Is there any blood in the history of mankind, in the present day, or even in the future that can surpass “The Blood of God“?

There is only one place that the All present, All knowing, and All powerful God has His own PURE blood. This one blood is the one human doorway mankind can step through to the protection from death, a second chance, and life eternal. No wonder everyone in the Bible was baptized in water with the name of Jesus pronounced over them. “The Blood of God” is inside the name of Jesus the only place with the power to wash away sins.

I know some have been baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit in water baptism according to Matthew 28:19. I was baptized in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In walking with God as a human being below His level of understanding we must be willing to evolve into more truth He reveals to us without considering what knowledge we do have as a waste. All knowledge of God no matter the level are building blocks He can work with in bringing us closer to Him more perfectly (Acts 18:26).

Realistically, the Father has no blood bringing back the impossibilities because He is Spirit. The Holy Spirit is obviously also Spirit with no blood bringing back the impossibilities. The Son, Jesus, being born of flesh and blood is the one bring possible back into the picture of “The Blood of God“.

Realistically, you cannot kill the Father nor the Holy Spirit because there is no flesh and blood to kill. The Son, Jesus, is the only one with flesh and blood that could die in our place. Jesus is the one that said, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:” Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is for our benefit. It is nearly impossible for our minds to wrap around one all present God and to break it down to our understanding the ‘Father’ is a good way to point out creation like being a father of a child; the ‘Son’ as a symbol of atonement/redemption; and the ‘Holy Ghost’ as the indwelling ever-present guide to us into all truth (Jn. 16:13).

After the people asked Peter what they must do to be saved what Peter replied to them explains “The Blood of God“. “Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (NIV, ACts 2:38). Our blood is not pure enough to save our own selves. Jesus is the one place “The Blood of God” can be applied to us washing away our sins, covering us with God’s forgiveness and pardons us from the sin debt we owe.

Wow, the only place the All present God has pure blood to help mankind is an awesome revelation. I am so glad to have come to a place that when God shows a more perfect way that matches all of His word that I have no problem of letting go of any man-made traditions for the freedom of God’s Spirit. I hope this has blessed you and causes you to seek out more understandings that are just waiting to share with you. I will do my best to share with you as God shares with me. Have a great day in-spite of what comes your way.
