Greetings. Hebrews 5:8 Though he was a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered. We are all called to suffer to our mortal thinking to Spiritually hear the things[words] of God. Problem being is we all want to hear the Bible our own way; let me give an example of this by the following statement: Now the Opera singer held that note for 3 years, sounds impossible? No! The opera singer took out a three year car payment note, the above statement shows how quick we are to hear things our own way, without hearing the whole matter. American is a country full of sub-cultures: skiers, hunters, gamers, bikers, etc. Each sub-culture has its own language and rules and some even have a code of conduct. A hog to a biker might be term for a bike but a hog to a farmer is an hog. John 2:19Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up. Now what is our interpretation on the above verse? John 2:21But he spake of the temple of his body.Matthew 16:6Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven Pharisees and of Sadducees.More about leaven as we progress. The Pharisees, scribes and Sadducees were the religious leaders of Jesus day, always disputing with Jesus about the Law of Moses which were to point them to Jesus: a greater law. Matthew 12:14 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him. Our carnal thoughts against God’s words are always disputing in the temple of our mind to destroy any Spiritually meaning w e might receive, these thoughts are symbolize by the Pharisees, Sadducees, and scribes, the chief rulers of Jesus time: our chief rulers will be the thoughts of the carnal mind of man. 1 Timothy 6:5Perverse disputing of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth. When we fail to wait on the Holy Ghost interpretation, we are destitute of the revealed word. Sad fact being very few Christian have never read the Law of Moses, which represent the Bible we can understand. There is a sub-culture of Church goers who are not saved and have not the common decency to have read one book of the Bible. These Church goers on the surface seem like nice folks, they pay their taxes, cut their lawns and are quick to point out their acts of kindness to other people. Matthew 23:28 Even so ye outwardly appear righteous unto men. We have only Moses law and not the revealed hidden truth, still Moses was not ignorant of the good law to come: Jesus Christ. Luke 2:22 And he said unto them, these are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you; that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets and in the psalms, concerning me. The carnal mind corrupts the truth or all things concerning God's word. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him,I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If it's not God's way, it's man's way or man's thoughts about a verse. Jesus is the truth and every man or woman carnal thought about the Bible is a lie. The carnal commandments [man's interpretation] cannot bring spiritual life only death. Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. You may ask what gives me the right or authority to speak the things Shibboleth Ministry teaches. Romans 6:7For he that is dead is freed for sin. I am becoming spiritually dead to the power of my carnal thinking and this does not happen over a physical night. Proverbs 22:15The thought of foolishness is sin. We all have learn to suffer to hear from God and no longer trust our fleshly thinking about him. Hebrews 5:8 though he was a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things he suffered. This suffering is not physical because the mind suffers: God's word grieves the carnal mind. Philippians 3:8 Yea douthless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ. I can said these things because after 25 years of teaching and hearing the carnal commandants of man. Yet, the twenty years were spent reading God words, until faith should come: the Law or the natural understanding of God's words would be my schooImaster. Galations 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, that we might be justifed by faith. In Philippians 3:8 the Apostle Paul states he count it all dung, for the carnal wisdom he once though was God's wisdom. Do you know what dung is in the Bible, and most of us have been full of it? By no means is my few spiritual revelation are even close to that of Paul but I see more and more spiritually every day. I’m a Shepard of a few spiritual sheep even as King David. 1 Samuel 17:34 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father’s sheep, and there a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock. The beasts in the above represents man’s grievous thoughts against God’s word who on any given Sunday destroys the flock spiritually. Matthew 7:15Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. This ties together the next verses: Acts 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Our flesh does not like to suffer by being obedient, patiently waiting on God's glory His glory to be revealed to us. Matthew 6:12 And lead us not into temptation, and deliver us from evil.We are tempted every time we read the Bible to put our evil thoughts with our carnal mind on it. James 1:14But every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust. We do not need another man to deceived us that job got filled by the carnal mind. Psalm 106:14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.1 Corinthians 10:6Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. The carnal minded man lusts to be spiritually rich in God’s word, yet is too hasty and proud to wait on God. If we are willing not to trust in our own fleshly thinking and diligently seek God then you’ll be plenteousness in Spiritual understanding. Proverbs 21:5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but to every one that is hasty only to want. Matthew 16:6Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven Pharisees and of Sadducees. Now what about leaven, and Jesus was not taking about physical bread. Physical leaven bread rises up! What about you as you read these words? Is your flesh in you rising up thinking this writer has no former education: no letter after his name. Matthew 16:11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? Leaven is man’s carnal doctrine or teaching about God’s word which puffs up his own carnal mind. 1 Corinthians 4:19But I will come to you shortly if the Lord will, and will know not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power. David was not even considered by Samuel when God sent him to anointed a king. 1 Samuel 16:6 And it came to pass, when they were come, that he [Samuel] looked on Eliab, and said, surely the Lord's anointed is before us. 1 Samuel 16:7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth, for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. Spiritual when we read the Bible our carnal mind can only discern the natural meaning of the scripture or outward appearance. Samuel 16:10 Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, the Lord has not chosen these. There are over 600.000 Pastors in the United States and the Lord has not called one of them, the called themselves.
