Universal Reconciliation versus Demand for a Response

Facebook post

John 3 :14 As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; 15 so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life.

16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. 18 He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21 But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.”





OK leftbrains of the world...work with this
It's all in the Bible (and the reason we have to cross the line of Spirit)
Universal reconcilitation UR.....Christ's sacrifice paid for all
demanding response R but all who received Him He gave power to become sons of God
UR God does not wish any to be condemned.... He leaves the 99 and searches for the one that none should be lost
R God KNOWS all who are His
The way is broad that leads to destruction, the way is narrow that leads to eternal life
Either side of the Tree of Life there were two cherubim guarding the way to it
R The sign of His people is in the Old Testament circumcision of the male
The sign of the new covenant people is circumcision of male and female hearts
UR Jesus upbraided the authorities. You stand in the door and don't allow people to come in
R In the Tabernacle /Temple OT we enter with thanksgiving in our heart knowing we are allowed to come in by way of a sacrifice looking forward to THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB
In the New...the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (UR and R)
UR Jesus announced about the Temple and the One he would build
The Temple is to be a house of prayer for all nations
Revelation : from every tribe and tongue a multitude that no man could number
R The earth has been given to the sons of men and devil's have always sought to gatecrash the party. To extend their rule and authority over the earth,and do it by hybridizing and masquerading as human they invent the doctrine of no devil, no demons, then universal reconcilitation of man in his flesh lifestyle in order to overrun the temple. (And the Holy Place was overrun for - so many days? time time and half a time?)
Unitarian belief in America is the church most associated with Freemasonry and witchcraft and universal reconcilation
UR And God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself
R/UR All those were recorded in the Lamb's book of Life....How BiG IS THE BOOK????
R/UR Jesus describing the leaven of the Kingdom....and the leaven leavens the whole lump
R There is no reincarnation....this life is it....It is appointed for man once to die and then comes judgment
Jesus said Go into all the world and preach the gospel for the forgiveness/ remission of sins
Repent be baptised and be filled with the Holy Spirit
--------------------------------------------------------------
where am I? ...if God says it i believe it.
Psalm 123 says we are like a servant looking to the hand and eye of the master. Jesus lived this way....He saw what the father was doing and got in on it. "I am working still because I see My Father working"
And when Jesus "perceived" that the Lord's Presence was there to heal  he prayed for all who were sick.
God is Lord of the Harvest. pray to Him that He may thrust out workers.
Go in the Name of Jesus.
There are two FIRES in the Universe. One is set on fire by hell. We have to choose which fire we live by.
One thing is for sure....there will only be the FIRE of LOVE in heaven.
Whatever forms they take...the primary nature of these FIRES is spirit.
The Fire of Self for self
The fire of Self for others. Love with a Cross through its heart.
Just an added thought for linear thinkers...
I refused some time ago to carry "a position"....I carry Word and the Word to a carnal mind looks like a bunch of opposite lies....but Spirit is Spirit and won't be contracted to human whim or understanding. Our own conflict is this....God has set eternity into the hearts of man....so as fixed as we would like to be in doctrine our hearts are searching grander mysteries continually. Eccles3.11

Spiritual Sight,Saving Faith and the Single Eye

Spiritual Sight and Saving Faith
Let's return to Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus to further comprehend the principle of Spiritual Sight and its effect on every area of our Christian lives. After telling Nicodemus that he could neither see nor enter the kingdom without spiritual birth and spiritual sight, Jesus directed his attention to the entrance of the kingdom. "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:14-15).
The Son of Man must be lifted up in the same manner as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness. In Numbers 21:6-9, we read how God sent fiery serpents into the camp of Israel because of their rebellion. Many were bitten and died. Israel repented and asked Moses to pray to Yahweh to remove the serpents. Moses prayed and God answered, "Make you a fiery serpent, and set it on a standard: and it shall happen, that everyone, who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live (21:8) Moses did as the Lord commanded him. He "made a bronze serpent, and put it on a pole; and so it was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived" (Numbers 21:9 NKJV).
In comparing John 3:14-15 with Numbers 21:6-9, we see that looking and believing are the same thing. The act of looking at the Old Testament bronze serpent prefigured New Covenant belief in Christ. In this instance, seeing is believing. Brilliantly assessing the problem healed no one. A different seeing was required, the kind of seeing that the Lord spoke of when He said, "They shall look upon me whom they have pierced . . ." (Zechariah 12:10).
How critical is this seeing?
Paul wrote to the Galatian believers who were returning to the bondage of law-keeping, "Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth among you as crucified?" (Galatians 3:1). The New Living Translation reads, "You used to see the meaning of Jesus Christ's death as clearly as though I had shown you a signboard with a picture of Christ dying on the cross." The Galatian believers had lost sight of the lifted up Christ. They used to see but now they had lost faith and were returning to blind legalism. We cannot be drawn unto Christ and made whole unless He is lifted up and seen. When I, George, was growing up as a child I heard the story of Jesus every Sunday, but I did not truly see Him. He was little more than a cutout on a flannel graph or a story in an old leather-bound book. This Sunday school knowledge of Him did not keep me from setting out on a life of alcohol, drugs and every other vice imaginable. One day the Father revealed His Son to me by His Spirit! I saw my true condition upon the backdrop of His glory. I felt like Isaiah must have felt after seeing the Lord high and lifted up, "Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips." Why this new perspective? "My eyes have seen the King." (Isaiah 6: 1-5). When he saw who Jesus really was, that rough fisherman Peter responded, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord" (Luke 5:8).
Religious people made sure I knew I was a sinner. That didn't bring the grace I needed to change. Nothing short of seeing Jesus lifted up, by the Spirit, could reprove me of sin and nothing but being drawn to Him by that same Spirit could deliver me from sin's dominion. Everyone who truly looks on Him will be drawn to Him. He is himself the transforming power, or as one brother so graphically put it, "Jesus is the Change Agent." He is the resurrection and the Life! Christ has been made unto us redemption but He has also been made our sanctification ( 1 Corinthians 1:30). We are changed, from glory to glory as we with open faces continue to behold His glory (2 Corinthians 3:18). Both the forgiveness of sins and the power to live righteously begin with spiritual sight...George Davis & Michael Clark

The Way of Release Norman P. Grubb (the single eye}
We have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us" - 2 Corinthians 4:7.The illustration that settled me into seeing my proper place as a human was the discovery that several times in the Scriptures we are called "vessels." A vessel is there only to contain. It does not become what it contains. The cup does not become the coffee, nor the coffee the cup. That ray of light shot into me. In other words, God was saying, "Stop fussing about your human self, where you fail and where you need improvement. Drop that whole false idea. Vessels don't improve, they just contain. Now turn your attention away from what you are as a vessel - or think you should be. With a single eye, turn your full attention on Me, the One the vessel contains." That was enough to move me on to my crisis leap - into the reality of Galatians 2:20, which is now my favorite verse of Scripture: "I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."This was the first revelation of the Spirit (and it has to be revealed by the Spirit) that I am just the container. It was the beginning of what has never left me since and has so greatly expanded.- Yes, I Am ..by Norman Grubb
