REAL TRUTH CREATES REAL LIFE
09/11/24 08:30
A false christ is the child of a false gospel and a false gospel is any teaching that perpetuates the knowledge of good and evil as our inheritance in Christ.
The initial lie was a lie about the nature of Father - that He was holding something back; had pulled a swifty on us that left us in a diminished state, much less than the beings that we were. In other words that Father was dishonest and not to be trusted. As with most lies perpetrated on the naïve there was falsehood mixed with some truth. The truth was that we were sons/daughters of God already – godlike beings born from the Trinity to enjoy fellowship with God and to bring to God the joy of community with beings made in His image. But we were robbed of nothing and in truth were created to be sons in union with God and not depleted selves in the abstractions of the knowledge of good and evil.
LIFE/TRUTH REVEALED
Lies about Father and the spin that results from perverse Christianity are undone in the person of Jesus, in His Gospel and that of the apostles, church fathers and reformers.
SEE JESUS/SEE FATHER
“Jesus Christ is the one place given to us within space and time where we may know God the Father, for it is only in him, the only begotten Son of the Father, that the very Nature of God is revealed and that we may draw near to him through his reconciling and saving activity and know him in accordance with his Nature.
WHERE LIFE STARTS
Thus, the incarnation constitutes the one actual source and the one controlling centre of the Christian doctrine of God, for he who became man in Jesus Christ in order to be our Saviour is identical in Being and Nature and Act with God the Father revealed in and through him. He is not some created intermediary between God and the world but the very Word and Son of God who eternally inheres in the Being of God so that for us to know God in Jesus Christ, and to know him as the God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, is really to know God as he is in himself in his eternal Being as God and in the transcendent Love that God is. He is in himself not other than what he is toward us in his loving, revealing and saving presence in Christ.” (1)
REAL LIFE
Real life eternally and in the fullness of life now is ‘knowing God and Jesus Christ whom God has sent.’ That is, knowing God according to the scriptures and knowing Christ according to the testimony of the Christian Church and not by some addendum. Or addition supposedly added by specious revelation. A variation resulting in twisted rendition of the Gospel of Jesus and the apostles that maims people’s lives under the delusion of helping them.
