Then
the things which are holy are appropriated exclusively to a holy
people, a people whom God has cleansed, and which, we are forbidden, to
call common. This sanctified people are called sheep, lambs and doves,
and by many other figurative names, but they are never called dogs or
swine. A dog is a very different kind of animal from a sheep or lamb; he
neither divides the hoof, nor does he chew the cud, he is therefore
unclean. His disposition is also very unlike that of the sheep or lamb;
he is ferocious, quarrelsome, vicious, and, like the wolf, it is his
nature to worry, scatter and kill the sheep. His food, or that on which
the dog subsists, is not that which would feed the sheep and lambs, nor
can the sheep and lambs subsist on what the dog can feed upon. The dog
would starve in the richest pasture field, where the sheep would fatten,
and the sheep starve if fed only on what dogs delight to feed upon.
Dogs are dangerous animals, and we are admonished to beware of them.
Some of them are said to be dumb dogs that cannot bark; sleepy dogs,
lying down, loving slumber, and greedy dogs that can never have enough.
In Revelation 22:15, they are classified with sorcerers, whoremongers,
murderers, idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
The
admonition of the Lord in our text then clearly means that his
disciples shall not give, nor minister the gospel, or its provisions,
its promises, its comforts, its ordinances, or any of its commands, to
any who are thus designated dogs, or who are in nature, disposition,
practice or appetite as unlike the regenerated and spiritual people of
God as dogs are unlike and inimical to the sheep and lambs. The gospel
is food to the saints, because it is Christ; the preaching of the gospel
is preaching Christ, and it is food to the spiritual, and hence the
ministers of the gospel are commissioned to feed the sheep and feed the
lambs; to feed the flock of God which he hath purchased with his own
blood, but charged to give not that which is holy (and the gospel and
all its ordinances are holy) to dogs. Dogs have no use for holy things,
they can do them no good, for they are not adapted to their nature or
suited to their appetites; besides, it is a desecration of holy things
to give them to dogs or to swine. It is true, that the Gospel is to be
preached to every creature, to all nations, and in all the world, for a
witness to all nations, but only those who have ears to hear can hear
what the Spirit saith to the churches. The ministers of Christ have
nothing but the Gospel to preach, and that they must preach wherever God
is pleased to open a door for them to preach, and its effect will be to
discriminate between the living and the dead. All who have been pricked
in the heart by the life-giving power of the Spirit will gladly receive
the Word, as did the quickened on the day of Pentecost, while all
others will mock and reject the testimony. But what we understand as
being intended by this admonition, is that we are forbidden to attempt
to Christianize unregenerated men, by teaching them the letter of the
Word, and applying to them the ordinances of the Gospel as a means of
salvation, by Catechisms, Bible classes, Sunday Schools, etc...as though
we could so improve their carnal minds as to make them acceptable to
God, without being born of the Spirit.

You're sorta missing the point that
the body is not "still part of us until discarded". It isn't ... if it
was, we might properly think that it's gonna make the trip Home with us,
but we know better.
We are responsible ... for falling for the
power of sin's temptation and allowing it to use our bodily members any
ol' way it pleases, but the doing is not initiated by us.
An
alternative to falling into the clutches of the POS's clutches is
"Likewise count yourselves also to be truly dead to sin, but alive to
God through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:11 MKJV)
You are dead to sin
... The Message says that like this, "Sin speaks a dead language that
means nothing to you" so as soon as din is presented to you, hold up the
"IT IS FINISHED!" receipt proving that you are crucified with Christ ... dead, and the only Life in you doesn't speak that language.
FAITH LETS,
gene
I
am having a hard time agreeing with you, Gene. What you are saying
looks like gnosticism where all matter is evil and the spirit is good.
The fact is that when Jesus came to earth he being human that is having a
body did not make Him any lesser God than He was in eternity. When ever
the scripture spoke of His body it was speaking of Him, that is Him
being present and when ever the scripture spoke of His soul it was Him
present. He is both 100 percent God and 100 percent man forever even
having His scars present in eternity. Taking that body to heaven.
We
to are body and spirit. Our 5 senses which are a part of our bodies are
a very important part in glorifying God in worship. We offer our bodies
as living sacrifices to Him.
Because our bodies were created by
God through the normal process of birth our bodies are good
intrensically. Our bodies are eternally us. When we pass from this life
into eternity at the second coming our bodies will be reunited with our
spirits so that we will be naturally present in heaven as it was
intended from the begining. Death as a result from sin is an unatural
process in which our bodies seperate from our spirit.
The real us is our body, the real us is our spirit.
It
really is a mystery as to how the body and the spirit interact. The
body does have an effect apoun the spirit and the spirit has an effect
apoun the body so that not to address both of these areas in human
experience is just an irrational exercise of futility.The result of our
sin has corrupted both body and soul. We lack the ability to function at
the level we were created to function. Its not just that we do wrong
but it is that we cannot possibly be sastified in our ability even in
what we percieve at this level of knowlege to be the standard of
satisfaction. We live in a state of constant change, confronted with
constant deteration, groaning ,as a result of sin working in that
change.
We are self consciously corrupted in our view so that we eye
things in ourselves and around us with alot of uncertianty. Dependence
on God is so interwoven with our lack as a result of this corruption so
that without having that spiritual vision we are left in the dark as to
this mystery of body inter acting with our spirit and the enviroment
having an effect in our view. This is why we have so many problems with
emotional termoil and irrational thinking. There is a sense in which all
is well in our being in God, and yet at the same time that state of
uncertianty of body and spirit interaction coexist in us that keeps us
from being free in the absolute sense. We are tied down in sin and
corruption and are longing to be freed ,absolutely. That longing is what
is part of our new life and is intricatly intorwoven in the longing to
be with God and meet the living God.

on: July 19, 2006, 10:46:02 AM

Here
is a pattern of prayer that our Lord gave to us so that we could be
able to order our prayers. Prayer is the antidote in the government of
the church for our protection against the wiles of the devil and to live
in our own estate in peace.
We start out by praising our Father
for all things because He is getting glory in His working out of all
things. That is the end for which He created us. And in praising Him we
are gaining a profound sense of His greatness and we are sharing in the
pleasure of that praise. Our desire is that His will be worked out in
all of life throughout the earth. It is when His will is understood by
us that we can be gaurded against the wiles of Satan and stand up
against our own flesh. We long for His will to be done because we are in
a battle between the world and Gods will and we represent God in that
battle. The more that Gods will is worked out the more we will
experience peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. When we struggle with sin
and trip we still can say that our longings are to see Gods will done in
our own lives and in the world. The more our desire for Gods will to be
worked out the more withholding grace we will recieve and the less
desire we will have to give into the flesh. This is a process to restore
our joy so that we can have confidence that God will subdue our enemies
and ussure in the kingdom. We can rejoice that we are still alive by
Gods grace, or that we have been upheld in every situation so that the
desire of His enemies has not over taken us. We know that in
representing God that we cannot be depended on in oursleves to work out
His will so that He give us not only the victory but the power to work
out His will by forgiving us when we sinl and by keeping us safe in this
world. Working out His will is our desire in the inner most being. We
cry out to Him from a deep well of this desire .This is His working out
His will through us and in us.
He subdues our sinful passions
and continues to renew us by His grace so that we desire what is good
and acceptable. We are being changed by His inward call to
transformation and renewal. We hear His voice and it thunders so loud
that we at times hear nothing but Christ and we are fixed on Him. In
being in the paradigm we are being protected from sin and so we pray
that He will continue to give us grace so that we can be gaurded in our
desires so that we can glorify Him by avoiding even the test , and if
we are to be tested we pray for protection in that testing knowing that
we cannnot depend on our selves to pass the test. We stumble so much in
our thinking and in our flesh so that we are humbled and dependent on
Him to recover from our stumbles.
He has provided a powerful
incentive to be actively involved in His church seeing that He has given
the keys to the kingdom to our sheperds so that we would fall and
apostize if they were not praying for us protection. They are the
sheperds who keep us from danger by prayer for us to be protected from
testing. They together with our prayers create a sheild so that we are
protect as we go through our trials. If you want a real sense of peace
and comfort and hope ask for your leaderes to pray for you. In this way
He is working out our best through the government of the church.

Thanks
Stan, Not only are we to have spiritual exercise in a trial but we are
to practice using the means of our faith to strenghten our faith. I like
the apostle analogy to a boxer as well as a runner and athlete. Here we
have been redeemed, regenerated, and our initual experience is elation
and joy beyond imagination. We were changed when we first came to Him,
and then that experience just faded because we did not know how to
battle the world the flesh and the devil. The first attack on us was on
our assurance. We continued to sin and we experienced guilt again and it
was like a cold icey shower on our faith.
We needed to grow in
the knowlege of our faith. We needed to go through some sorrow to have
our trust tested. But we are not training as if we are on our backs
waiting for the action to come to us. We are using the means of faith to
stroke the fires of the inward change, scripture, the sacrements,
worship, fellowship. These are our weights so to speak. We participate
in these activities with full focus. We try to put all our hearts into
focusing on the task at hand.
When we pray , we pray as if it
were a dieing prayer, when we sing as if it were the loudest we could
possible sing, when we read the scripture our minds should be trained to
terry awhile and meditate on it. Our energy should be so spent in the
use of these means just as we leave the gym dragging on our nuckles. Its
really the picture of the apostle and the runner, he strains to keep
his eye on the prize. He even struggles to the point of exhaustion.
An
athelete goes through the same routine in what ever sport he is
training for. He does it over and over, sweating and pressing, and
driving himself to be better than anyone else. He spends more time
training than actually playing the game. Thats the way we should train
in the 6 days leading up to the lords day. If we do our focus on Him
will be strong.
When trials come its getting close to game day
and we will be driven into more intense training. Game day is when we go
through the trial and come out on the other side. In our trials we are
more focused on Him, we must anguish to hold on to Him. The weights are
almost doubled in our trials, and we are tired of training. But we must
hold onto Him. We must meditate on His word even harder and longer. We
must actively supress the flesh, the devil and the world. We must get
our focus on Christ.
In trials we pray that He will not alow us
to fall. We may stumble but he will give us grace to strain for Him. We
go to him in a trial and we pour out our hurt to Him. We tarry long in
prayer until He speaks peace to us. We tell Him we will not let Him go
until He blesses us. We get our eyes off of the trial and onto heaven.
We strain to be released from anxiety by sturring up the gifts of the
Spirit. We must drag ourselvse sometimes to sturr up that gift by prayer
and meditation. We feel that we are standing against the forces of
hell, that we are being pursed by a million armies, but our focus is on
the soveriegn Lord. Our eyes are on the sovieirgn Lord continuesly. We
may not feel like He is there but we hope in His word, we hold onto His
promise but we must also strain to drive the promise into our mind in
our stumbling experience and work the promise until we sense His smile.
We must have His smile, that is His love shed abroad in our hearts
before we really know what it is to fix our eyes on our soveriegn Lord.
Even in the depths of despair, His word meditated on has a holding power
so that we can make it to the next day. The pain we feel and the
release we get from the word are mixed in the hottest point of the trial
but the desperation of our cries will overcome the pain. We are as it
were pressing the weight with meditation and prayer and we are stumbling
as the weight comes back down on us. We use these means to strengthen
our faith just like that bench press. When we are driven to exausten and
we have people around us helping us get that last rep we cry out in
agony to get that last rep. Our Fathers love is the experience of Him
being there to carry us to the point of exhaustion. There is a mystery
of a spiritual kind in the communication between the eternal power of
God and our understanding of Him speaking to the very depths of our
being, beyond our abilty to cope with the pain of it and His intricate
comfort so that we do not succumb and be over taken in the most entense
part of the struggle. That is Him speaking to us in a most profound way.
It is a faith building experience.

When
we are regenerated we are given new life in Christ. We die to our
ourselves and we are given a new will and our old will has been
destroyed. When we are baptized into Christ we are identified with Him
in His death and ressurrection so that we now can reckon ourselves dead
to sin and alive in Christ. We enter a new relationship in which we now
want to glorify Christ by having new spiritual desires. We are self
conscious of being united to Him and so it really is no longer us but it
is Christ living in us. We look at ourselves in a completely different
way.
We begin to see real beauty. When we look at creation we see the
glory and mystery in its workings , and it glitters in our eyes as the
sun is shining off of that creation. We see Christ work in it and we
begin to worship Him as a result of the beauty of that creation. In
Christ we can rationally deduct that beauty coming as a result of Him
being in control of all things. When we look at our selves we can see
His hand in making us, we no longer feel as if we had been slited, or
given something that was not of beauty. Thats why we can grow old and
still see His handi work and His creation in all of our time here in the
aging process as Him bringing us joy as a result of our new view of
ourselves. We can be happy even at what we percieve as ugly because it
really is in the eye of the beholder that we look through in our new
view of things.
When we sin we run to Christ and He forgives us,
when we are hurt we run to Christ and that hurt draws us to desire being
hurt with Him in our hurt so that our hurt fades away in His
understanding our hurt by taking it and giving us new joy in its pain.
We can a joy rite next to the pain and have the pain brought under
control by Christ in the Holy Spirit so that we feel the joy more than
we know the pain. Being in Christ means experiencing a supernaturally
medicated struggle with pain because we are identified with Him in that
pain and He is glorified with us in helping us see His beauty and not
our pain.
In Christ we can pour out our hearts to Him and He
will always listen. When He listens He actively acts before we complain
to grant grace to us on the inside and to grant grace to those around us
so that we know that the situation is going to be alright because we
are in Him and He is in us because He and the Father are one we know
that all will be well being always in Him in the Fathers house as
special to the Father. Our prayers are answered by Him coming along side
of us and communicating to us the beauty of His power and love so that
we are changed from being under the weight of a situation to being
thrust into the heavenlies and we no longer are anxious about our
situation. We are given a profound sense of His love for us and in that
love we bask in the freedom we experience from that anxiety.

We
began to be at a definite period in the past. We continue to exist and
to think and to act through a ceaseless succession of moments, the
present, moment ever emerging out of the past and emerging into the
future. But God is without beginning or succession or end. All duration,
past, present, and future, is always equally comprehended in his
infinite consciousness as the ETERNAL Now.
We are in space
definitely, and are surrounded by it, and pass from one position to
another through all the intermediate portions of space in succession.
But God fills all space: not by extension, like the water of the sea or
as the atmosphere; not by multiplication, nor by rapid movement, like an
ubiquitous general along the line of his army; not as represented by
his agents, as the head of an army or state may be said to be, and to
act wherever his agents carry out his orders; not by his knowledge or
his power merely, as when an astronomer may be said to be in thought
wherever his telescope points, or a great sovereign to reign wherever
his laws are obeyed. But by reason of his own infinite perfection,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are in their whole undivided being present
at every point of space at every moment of time. The whole God is always
everywhere: within all things, acting from within outward from the
center of every atom, and from the innermost springs of the life and
thought and feeling and will of every spirit; without all things,
embracing them as an infinite abyss, and acting upon them in a thousand
ways from without.

Here
is the problem i have about you view of free will. First if the will is
defined as have the ability to freely choose between between spiritual
good and evil then being in an equal librium state it is really no will
at all. To will is to prefer one thing over another. What you are saying
is that the will causes the will to act which is a contridiction. (A
self determined will )The will is not the cause of the choice. So in
your theology there is no cause. And if there is no cause there is like
saying there is non being.
You are saying that a person
determines for himself whatever he wants. So you are saying that a
person has a self determined choice. But how can the will determine to
will? If the will has no reason to choose other than it being free then
your view of freedom is not freedom at all. Because the will determining
itself has a pryor will to determine the next choice and so if you go
back to the first choice then what determined that choice? Which is to
conclude that there is no cause an so there is really no will in a self
determined freedom sense.
Which comes back to the existence of
being. The self determined view of freedom is really a non being view of
existence. In which in the past non being exist and becomes being in
the future choices. With out a cause for choosing you have no reason the
have a God. So if God does not exist then , or He exist as a non being
then your view makes it plausable that the only time you would have
being is in the future when you re unite with God who will have being.
And
isnt it true that your view of faith is irration chance view since you
are able to choose based apoun your own reason so that any thing that is
not rational being outside your reasoning is in the realm of faith. Now
i believe you accept grace as the source of believing but since you
leave the will as able and not under corruption your logic is the same
as if it where out rite plagenism. So then whatever happens outside of
the rational process is chance. Which is a deterministic view of life.

Determinism
is defined as man denying the reality of being created and responsible
to that creator. Instead of man needing a relationship with his creator,
he defines his own criteria for relationship in his universe. His own
definition becomes the i - it syndrome. This is a universe of
determinism, in which man determines his own destiny by his definition
of what is rite and what is wrong. When God is recognized as God , and
understood as the center of the universe and controling all things for
His own glory then man lives in an i-thou paradigm, being in rite
relationship with his creator under that rule.

Although
i do not agree with this kind of quietism i do think that the reformed
judgmentalism is just as wrong toward the inactive parts of the
christian experience. There is more of a tendency to lean toward the
semi plagenistic view of moralism than to lean toward the mystical
aspects of the christian experience today in our fast pace society. We
are creatures of habit and so we learn to think in a habitual manner at
the very young years of our lives.
As you know i am a meditator
and unless i explain my experience then i really cannot offer a
different view of these tendencies in our culture of human effort and
active obedience. I have been memorizing large portions of scripture
over the last 25 yrs and love the Psalms especially. I grew up with the
semi plagenist mentality of reactionary theology. THat is for every
disobedience there needed to be an active obedience to counter act that
bad action. What was so devastating to my faith the this temptation to
live under the circumstances rather than above the circumstances. Here i
think is the heart of the problem of this struggle in the american
consciousness.
Its really not the action that brings about the
real heart change, but it is the world view of the person who reacts to
the circumstances. There is a general disposition in our 20th century
christian culture that says that if we work hard enough at change then
there will be lasting change, if we take one step at a time until we
become well adjusted citizens and socially integrated. Here in this
paradigm is a germ of reactionary philosophy in which if the
circumstances in ones life become so unraveled then there will be a
change that comes from a heart full of guilt which brings about required
steps to take to acheive the change in ones life. In my own thinking
there is a red light that goes off. And it is because i have fallen into
this reactionary pattern in my own life because of the peer pressure
that comes by a majority of people going this way. The pressure to be
this way is so great today that i must clean my own heart from the
temptation to react out of guilt rather than to go the route of
meditation and joy and rest.
The truth is that unless you have
experienced hours of meditation in the Psalms over many years then
judging the mystical transforming nature of the scripture by your modern
day reationary philosophies then you will not understand where i am
coming from. The necessary element in reformation experience is in the
supernatural, and the supernatural is not just what Christ did on the
cross, or the creation of the earth , or the miracles in the old
testement but they are in the mystical elements of desire, love , joy,
rest etc. in the very desires of our moment by moment walk with God.
This world view goes beyond giving advice to someone who is going
through a divorce, it gets to the cell of an inmate who cannot do a
thing about his predicament and must learn to trust in God in rest. Here
is the essence of the struggle to captivate the american mind. Rather
than the circumstances of divorce or any thing that a person goes
through being the delima that causes the anxeity that destroys faith, it
rather is what caused the person to go down the road in those young
years. It really is not even the actions that accured in the home, but
it really is the world view that taught the individual pragmatism, or
semi plagenism. A person learns to react to circumstances based apoun
his theological sorroundings from his birth.
If you know
anything about the word of God it depicts a person who struggles with
sin and does not promise smooth sailing on this earth. It depicts many
trials, tribulations and problems even to the point of great sacrifice.
It does not offer solutions to being in circumstances as reacting
directly to those circumstances in a way that you lust over solutions to
get out of the circumstances. Remember that the amount of lust you have
to get out of the circumstances equal to the amount of lust you will be
taken God for granted once you have performed the duty to relieve the
circumstances. I know this is true because this is the heart of the
fight i have as it relates to taking everything captive by the word of
God. THis is the world view struggle that has an equal effect on the
peer pressure that needs to be over come in this semi plagenistic
american mentality.
We really have not understood the meaning of
trials , and falling into sin and how to over come the heart problems
until we have learned to rest in Christ and the struggle and rely on Him
to over come our enemies. We must spend quite alot of amounts of time
pondering in queit the essence of God , the profound power of God, the
awsome abilities in God to perform on our behalf. We do not belive in
quietism but we do believe in instant, supernatural transformation
through the word meditated on to change our dispositions in a radical
way through this resting.
