STATE OF MAN OR ANTICHRIST
The state of man can possibly be judged by what is in his bank account at any given moment. Or perhaps his recognition in the community or how much one Is loved or hated by those that think they know him. Luke 2:49 And he said unto them, How Is that ye sought me? Wist ye not that I must be about my father business. We have not been about our father’s business and do we even know who our father Is? John 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while It Is day: the night come when no man can work. What are the works of God and what is this night when no man can work? We trust the Holy Ghost to give us the Spiritual interpretation of these verses and others as we move on. John 6:29Jesus answered and said unto them, This Is the works of God, that ye believe on him that whom he hath sent. How can we believe on Him unless we receive a witness or His thoughts found in His words. When we receive our own interpretation or wisdom on a verse or even a word it is a false witness. Let’s give an example of this as to how our carnal mind works. Matthew 26:61 and said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days. Jesus enemies which represent our thoughts, could only imagine the temple was a physical place and the three days a physical time. The interpretation of a temple as God sees it is found in another verse. John 2:21But he spake of the temple of his body. Our carnal mind which wars against the scriptures to see them in a way that flatters us. Romans 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. Our works are what we believe about God's words and our own beliefs makes us self-righteous unto ourselves, we become unprofitable. We end up forming an images of Gods based the carnal mind interpretation and we have imagined these images to be only physical. Isaiah 44:10 Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing? A question is asked here and the answer is: man has formed his own Gods. Man has used his own wisdom or man's person about the scripture to make himself look good to himself and others and calls himself a Preacher. Job 32:21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man. 1 Thessalonians 2:5 For neither at any time used we flattering words. Our thoughts are subject to their own mental law on their interpretations of the scriptures: our thoughts are sin. Romans 8:2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Two laws are mentioned in the above verse, we are either walking in the law of the Spirit or the law of sin and death. I only met three people in my sixty-five years on this physical planet that knew how to walk in the Spirit: who humbled themselves to allow the Holy Ghost to interpret the Bible for them. With so very few interpreter out of billion, the spiritual state of man is grievous to God. These precious few feared and loved God more than their own wisdom about the scriptures. Proverbs 1:7The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. We are quick to see a verse and because we can read black and white, think we know what it means: we despise God’s wisdom. Our own wisdom represents the world in the Bible, not a physical thing, but our mental thinking. 1 John 2:15Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. The things are my own thoughts that I believe wrongly about God’s character, but I love my worldly thoughts. Nobody understands the Bible unless the Holy Ghost gives the spiritual interpretation. It does not matter how many letters are behind your name, or if your dress sweeps the floor when you walk. The Bible will give us a counselor or interpreter [HOLY GHOST] if we are willing to confess, we only saw the Bible in our own wisdom. If we refuse to confess the error of our own wisdom, we are all antichrists. 1 John 4:3 and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. We can confess we only saw the scriptures in our own wisdom we can be saved and the antichrist has exposed!
