Being Complete

To read and understand the Bible is a good.  But let us not stop there.  For the living words speak of The Living God, who is immeasurably more.

The Bible speaks of things which pertain to this age of salvation.  But He is from ages past.  The man who thinks he has accomplished God’s desire for him, because he has read, understood and can recite the Bible, has missed the entire meaning of the Holy Scripture.

All things written therein are passed down to us to provoke us to seek “He who is all”.  We are not “in Him” because we have read the words.  We become “in Him” as He leads us to do the impossible; obey the Father’s Holy will.

The Holy words show us what His beautiful will is.  But only by The Holy Son is the obedience gained with completeness.  Seek His lovely companionship.   Then be willing to listen.  He alone can lead us to what is pure and holy.

Flamboyant

The word flamboyant is such a curious word.  At its root are two terms.  The first indicates a flame.  The second means to float.

The entire premise behind the two words combined is to have an irrepressible flame which floats above repression.

Since flamboyant is usually reserved for the rich,  its meaning can be understood as a derision.   It is usually used to describe their understanding of self importance, and the subsequent display among men.

Should a Christian appreciate being referred to as flamboyant?

Mark 12: 17

You do not understand Christianity because you are not of it.  You use its basic tenets as foundation for your own law, which you freely break at will.  Therefore your own hands cover your eyes.

But you will testify that you use no such basic tenets for the law of man.  You say you are free men.  You will say that your laws are but logical sequence used to establish peace among men.  You say there is no obligation to do the things of Christ; there is only obligation toward a central strength to establish and retain peace among men.

All that you do is for the sake of the shape of the human body, and the place where we are caused to be.  Man’s desire, ability and history shape the things you love to call law.  Desire and history are sure and unbreakable (though they may be written in a variety of form).  But ability changes according to the ingenuity of man.  And so you willingly break your own law for the sake of expediency.  And corruption has therefore made you filthy.

The basic tenets of Christ are within your law because the shape of man requires it.  But your desire frustrates and explodes the law of Christ.  You nullify His law by adding to it for the sake of what you call advancement and convenience.

You cannot break the law of God.  The very shape of man demands obedience.  But you create more; and this “more” you are able to break.  Then you add to your folly by turning and blaming the law of God for your faults, which law is at the very root of your own.

Such things are not hidden now.  Such things will not be hidden then.  The law of God is established, unmovable and unbreakable.  But the work of man’s hands is futile folly; before it is written it is broken.

Return, he who has understanding, to “the laws of God undefiled”.  Leave the work of your hands.  Submit to the true law of Christ.  Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.
