There is an important
function that makes one a Christian:
Whosoever
believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God and every one that loves Him
that begat loves Him also that is begotten of Him; by this we know that we love
the children of God, when we love God, and keep His commandments. (1 John 5:1-2)
Now let’s critically analyze;
the subject is begotten of Him.
·
“Whosoever” (pisteuo in the Greek) is straightforward; they would be
anyone with the capacity to “believe.” That requires a high degree of
intelligence, conviction (made aware of God and His tenets) and the human conscience
— The capacity to self-balance to the Will of God. Conviction and conscience
define the ancient concept of prayer, not just talking to God as we do today. [1]
·
Pisteuo would rule out any
but the highest state of man. Pisteuo points to the so-called “elect”
before the foundation of the world as Paul wrote, “(God) has chosen us in Him
before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame
before Him in love” (Ephes 1:4).
Whosoever believes would be those
people who were part of the “elect” as the heaven and earth were founded. So,
where should we look for the “elect”? Election day as the world was being
founded — in the Book of Genesis: God blessed them, and God said unto Adam’s
kind, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and
have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air,
and over every living thing that moves upon the earth” (Gen 1:28).
Without going into detail about the
other kinds, only mankind was chosen since although God created the others, God
put within Adam a fragment of Himself — Elohim. As such, only Adam of
all the other kinds would have had pisteuo with the ability to pray.
·
Prayer is “spooky action at a distance” as Albert Einstein called quantum
entanglement. Prayer would be the spooky communication with God but only for those
that are entangled with God; the “whosoever believes.”
The way that concept works is that if
anyone — the “whosoever” is yoked with God in love, prays and is heard, to wit:
“Now we know that God hears not sinners but if any man be a worshipper of God,
and does His will, him He hears” (John 9:31).
God is not deaf but He can ignore
the prayer of any person who is not yoked with Him in love. As an example, why
would a stranger care what your desires may be, albeit a real father cares because
of love.
·
Entanglement, that spooky action at a distance, means that wherever a
Christian is, there is God… the concept of Emanuel, “God With Us” who are fully
entangled with Him in love.
·
What must be believed? That “Jesus is the Christ” or Messiah (מָשִׁיחַ mashiyach in Hebrew). Those four pictographs describe
Christ in biological terminology: The person who precipitates an event that
transforms the world and extends across biological barriers. Hence, the Messiah/Christ
is for anyone that has God in him or her without regard to ethnicity; and as
such God is not a respecter of persons (Acts 10:34). We must believe that Jesus
with Ya sound (the letter yod symbolic of the divine spark)
in both His Name and Title can transform the world and the people within it.
·
“Persons” would be His favored kind, not other animals, lower states of
men, or even angels. People are the “elect” — human beings with a
fragment of God in them even having “sins that are past” (Rom 3:20).
·
We must believe that Jesus is “born (Greek gennao) of God;” that
Jesus is engendered by Father God and that within the Messiah/Christ resides
the same Elohim that was in Adam from the beginning, and that Adam’s
kind were the “elect” to wit: “The first man, Adam, was made a living soul; the
last Adam was made a quickening spirit” (1 Cor 15:45). Because Elohim
was in Adam made him a “living soul” (Gen 2:7) and as the “quickening Spirit,”
Jesus — the last Adam — would have been the Elohim within Adam which
enlivened him.
Adam and his kind would have been the elect
with Yeshua (Jesus) in them. Born of God would not be birthed but
that Jesus was the “cup” or “vessel” having Elohim within (Mat 20:22).
That would be that Jesus would be the “container” (Bet) for the Spirit
of God, Aleph within. That relationship is Father to the Son — with the gens
of the Father within the vessel of the Son.
·
“Every one that loves Him that begat loves Him also that is begotten of Him.”
Father God (Yahweh) begat both us and His Son who loves others that are
begotten of Him.
Love is the source of the “spooky action
at a distance” and all those of God would be entangled together in love — “We
have known and believed the love that God has to us. God is love and he that
dwells in love dwells in God, and God in him” (1 John 4:16). To be entangled
with God requires love to entangle with God in them and them in God, or in
Christ.
For
those in Christ, for them it is as if Christ is right here with them; hence
Christians remain with Christ because His “Ghost” is the source of the spooky
action at a distance. Ghosts are liminal creatures that can cross the membrane
between realms. Just as Jesus was visible to Paul, albeit in another realm, it
would have been the Holy Ghost of Jesus which Paul saw in his blindness.
To be in Christ is to have the
conscious convicted when temptation arises to overcome sin. That is how we know
that we are in Christ in love — “When we love God and keep His commandments”
that for those He begets “love Him also.”
·
Do you love Jesus and others? That sounds corny, but love is much misunderstood;
so we must turn to the original version of love. The Hebrew word from, “You
shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and
with all your might” (Deut 6:5).
Love in the Hebrew is אָהַב ʼahab, meaning a force, El (God), which
generates life and expands it to create a beneficial habitat for other human
beings. The creation, therefore, would been an act of love and the Garden of
Eden the habitat for human beings to love one another.
You might say that the climate of the
Garden was the essence of love derived from God. His Garden would have been to
multiply His divine love and for them to share love for each other, but it was
not sexual, erotic love.
·
Paradise in heaven would be
the habitat for love, and a Christian would want many others there to share the
love.
All the ethnicities got a little taste
of heaven, “When the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one
accord in one place” (Acts 2:1). For what? Entanglement with the Holy Ghost
of Jesus. Every person there were among the “elect,” but only 3000 were imbued
with the Spirit of God that came from Jesus, and of a multitude, only 3000
souls (Acts 2:41) were entangled with God by baptism of the Holy Ghost.
It is not that all the “elect” had become
living souls but had the probability — from the Hebrew letter nun — to
be among the children of God. “Many be called, but few chosen” (Mat 20:16),
according to Jesus, and that is exactly what happened on the day of Pentecost. Out
of all those at Pentecost, only 3000 responded and were baptized, not in water,
but living water from the Spirit of God.
Love is a substance of only power. It expands the Virtue of God — El
in ‘ahab — and distributes it to other humans. If you are not spreading God
by the transference of love, then perhaps you are not in Christ. How would we
know? By the love of God which we are sharing; the love that is metricized in
the Commandments.
