Who Are You? ( Part One)
NOTE: I have decided that I would post this is in different parts, as reduce reading and listening time. This may be the most important beginning post series of teaching I have done yet. The Gospel presented to you like you have never heard it before. I pray it will be life changing and you might discover the Exchanged Life in Jesus Christ. So here is today's portion.
(Music lead on PodCast is by Israel & New Breed-Song Title: Alpha and Omega)
Who Are You?
I am going to start by asking some questions,as I do answer then honestly to yourself as you read or listen to this Part One of the series, Who Are You?
Are you a good person?
Are you an evil person?
What does it mean to be a good person?
What does it mean to be an evil person?
If you are a good person, have you ever done evil?
If you are an evil person have you ever done good?
Now if you answer those questions honestly, you will see
that you are defining yourself as a person, either overall, or at least based upon
what you do, at specific times and in specific situations.
What if I were to tell you, that you are neither one of the above, good or evil?
Do you accept that or do you try to weigh your behavior in some sort of imaginary scales and based on which behavior you experience or perform more often then the other defines who you believe yourself to be? Which side ways the most?
Let's be honest as humans both behaviors are a very real part of our lives.
All of us!
Now, I am going to tell you something you may never even imagined to be true.
You are neither a "good person or an evil person," because your behavior doesn't define who you are.
God has decided forever Who You Are, because He is your Creator.
We (humanity) were all doing just fine, until we developed this concept of seeing ourselves in the eyes of good and evil.
How did that come about?
Most people who don't understand or have a full grasp of the reason why Jesus came, and the what of Jesus life, death, resurrection, and Pentecost live in this nightmare of being a Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
We dare not admit it, but we are all schizophrenic, or at least suffer multiple personality disorder. When we define ourselves by what we do.
To be honest many of you listening to this Pod Cast or reading this blog right now are dealing with issues in your life, you are either trying to be a good person, and finding yourself failing, or you thought you were a good person, until something came along in life, and you failed, and now that image you so held of yourself it has all been tarnished.
Christians do the same thing, that are yet trying desperately to do something to be good. This is called "christian religion" as opposed to the Christ life.
You at least for the moment believe you are what you do, or did, until you can get back on the merry go round, and try to make up for the wrong you did, or perhaps you will just shrug it off, but it still doesn't change your self-image, it's now corrupted. You can justify your behavior, overlook your behavior (impossible to do), or try to make up for it(more religious effort.)
Yes, God called His creation, all of it good, but it was not the substance of who you are.
What the Fall did, was made us believe that the all of life is defined by these things good and evil, what we do, as opposed to who we are. Especially our core being. It does not!
We were and are still God's loved creatures the image of God.
It was because of this transformation Adam brought into the world by eating of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and one that religion, any religion, continually propagates that has so tainted us even more, with the same lies as that first serpent handed us, the failed carnal thinking that "we are what we do, rather than what we are." Once the trap was sprung, once Eve did something she knew in her mind God had told her not to, and Adam followed along, they were trapped, their minds now before the fall, had no idea of either one of these terms as pertaining to their behavior, they were who they were, the Creation of God, who fellowshiped with them and communicated with them and they found joy, peace and righteousness in His presence.
So how can we return to our prior state before the Fall?
We lived that life or at least Adam did as the representation of ALL MEN, we lived in perfect innocent fellowship with the One who loves us beyond what we can ever imagine before this horrid transformation of thought process came into our minds and corrupted our view of God and ourself.
How can we escape this sad tragedy of despair and hopelessness we have in this life bouncing back and forth from one label of description to another of ourselves and others?
How do we come to know who we are, if not a good or evil person?
Where is the picture for me to see?
Can I find it in history?
Where is this story that tells me something different as you say other then good or evil?
Where is it I can find something that assures me, that God views me and others as more grand and glorious then can be imagined?
Where is the story that can be found?
Who will tell me and show me this, that I am free, and that all is well between me and my Creator?
Where can it be found?
In the next blog, I will talk about the Fall and Who We Are Now and more.
I am going to do my best to answer these question and more over the next few days in this teaching as I present it line upon line and precept upon precept.
You will hear I promise the Gospel as never presented to you perhaps, but nonetheless it is the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Come back for Part Two of Who are You?

Three Legged Chicken
Larry was driving down a country lane in his pickup when suddenly a chicken darted into the road in front of him. He slammed on his brakes, but realized that the chicken was speeding off down the road at about 30 miles an hour. Intrigued, he tried to follow the bird with his truck, but he couldn't catch up to the accelerating chicken. Seeing it turn into a small farm, Larry followed it. To his astonishment, he realized that the chicken had three legs. Looking around the small farm, he noticed that ALL of the chickens had three legs.
The farmer came out of his house, and Larry said, "Three-legged chickens? That's astonishing!"
The farmer replied, "Yep. I bred 'em that way because I love drumsticks."
Larry was curious. "How does a three-legged chicken taste?"
The farmer smiled. "Dunno. Haven't been able to catch one yet."
Now, that's funny!
I laughed at this joke, then I thought, you know, how often do we as Christians become three legged chickens.
We come into our faith in Christ, then somewhere down the line, religion gets a hold of us, and that beautiful new
creation of God, that is just absolutely everything Christ intended, rather than developing and maturing in His trust alone in Christ we get bred into three legged chickens, thinking that religion will make us a littler more desirable, then what God has made of us in Christ. The world prefers us to be religious as well, like the farmer desiring more drumsticks, we let the world conform us to give them more of what they want.
Religion so spoils the work that Jesus did, we might look more desirable to the world, the church, our community, even some of our friends, as long as we keep that third leg on, of religion. The sad thing, is no one will taste the beauty of who we are in Christ.
It's so much easier to rest in Him and just live that way, ever trusting in Him, what He has accomplished that we never could nor ever will.
The sad thing, is religion breeds us into three legged chickens.
We might run faster with religion, and find it easier to get along with the world but in the end, do we really serve the purpose for which Christ made us.
We were made to be light and salt to a world lost in sin and death.
Paul said this when reproving the Galatian Christians for growing a third leg...the third leg of religion.
Galatians 3:2-3
2This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?
3Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?
Let's slow down, throw off the third leg, and let's keep trusting Jesus, and not religion. God wants to catch up with us as well, He has great things in store for us, when we leave Him to do the job.

Mars the god of War Is Now Jesus
In history one can find the beginnings of the mythological god named Mars. This god has not died, he persist even today as the true god of those who though in name claim they are Christian, but in deed and in word, they worship Mars the great god of war.
I quote from an excellent analysis of war from a book entitled, " A Terrible Love of War, by James Hillman. Hillman's analysis is true in so many areas, even though he is a psychologist and former Director of Studies at the Carl Jung Institute in Zurich.
It is clear in biblical truth that he is not a true Christian, but in the reality of what most of those believe and do in deed and word he is "christian", as he explains. Western theology, the way of life and all, most individuals who are in this country lay claim to being christian. Matter of fact, 80% of America claims to be Christian from polls done.
Though in truth I know and anybody who has a true comprehension of Jesus' life, the life of the Apostles, and the martyrs, that until Constantine- the church was founded by the Prince of Peace, but from that point on the god Mars has become our god, superimposed upon Jesus, the Prince of Peace, he is now the War God. These are they that are not biblical Christians, they are what Western idealism has made them, hypocrites! They still since the time of Constantine hold fast the doctrines of a pagan god Mars as their new Jesus.
Western Christianity's god comes front and center when war is in the air. War brings it's god to life. In World War 2, this god was a co-pilot on bombing runs, as one book title declared, and a popular song turned a chaplain into a "helluva gunner". In World War 1, "Clergymen dressed Jesus in Khaki and had him firing machine guns". The bishop of London exhorted his Christian fellows to "kill the good as well as the bad...kill the young men as well as the old...kill those who have shown kindness to our wounded as well as those fiends..."
Let me quote from a prayer in his book which so typifies the prayers of the Babylonian church (Kirke) today. These have become the prayers of the faithful - those Christian Nationalist and Pro- Zionist just before battle.
O Lord Our God,
help us
to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells;
help us
to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriotic dead;
help us
to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded writhing in pain;
help us
to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire;
Ah! war has such a sweet sound to the faithful, herein is their chance to prove their god Mars overall is god of all gods. To put this in place they declare this when by mere defeat of an enemy through bloodshed and violence, that American truth and American Christianity is the only truth and that we shall rule the world whether you like it or not.
To ask the question: here is what James Hillman ask, and I do the same.
"The retreat to love leaves untouched the important question that each of us as Christians must pose: why is Christianity, which entered the world as a religion of love and has distinguished itself from other world religions by the message of love in it's founder and it's apostles and exemplified in its martyrs and saints, also so martial (lovers of war)?
Its notion of love has not coverted the god of war, and in fact the Christian culture has inspired the greatest long lasting war machine of any culture anywhere. Does this not demand from our educated Christian minds a sharper examination of Christian love?
I still marvel how those who prefer the New Covenant of grace and forgiveness for themselves offer none to others. What surprise they will have on Judgement Day by the Supreme Judge, who shall look at them, and say " I knew you not".
Until then Americans will continue with their pagan god Mars re-created into the image of the former Prince of Peace to now be called their great King of War and their "justified wars" so that the great "City of God' the United States and Israel may continue in their hypocrisy of the lie they live in, and live with.
How perverted the Gospel of Jesus has become, what shirking there shall be in shame when the Prince returns.
How Americans love their god of war Mars, and until the real Jesus stands up, and shouts no more, there will be wars and rumor of wars, until He comes.
As for me and my household, we are going to serve the living Lord Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace and true love. Who said emphatically in word and deed, "Love thy enemy".
If love is pointing guns at another and blowing his head off, then I will choose the opposite of this definition of love. I will choose true love, that looks down from a cross and says "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do".
The hardest words ever spoke by anyone that could only come from our Father who forgives those who forgives others.
How we have forgotten the truth of Christianity and bought into the babylonian baloney, the church of Constantine and his warriors, proclaiming visions of conquering under this sign, the cross. The cross symbolizes everything in Christianity of a submissive Savior but we in America have turned the cross as Constantine did, into a sword.
God have mercy on us, for we have bought the greatest lie of Satan ever, that we are superior over all others, and we are the soldiers of Jesus with our WMD's and our biowarfare and our super bombers, and our future weapons, we have come to believe conversion means to beat the pagan over the head until he bleeds, as the wounds bleed profusely and splatter blood onto our Bibles, and then we can shout, " I have made a new convert". Ah! When in truth we will be doing just what Jesus reprimanded the Pharisees for, making a more of a child of the devil, then they were in the first place.
This lie has continued since the times of Constantine and can be studied by any and all in church history. Why because the church of America, is not the EKKLESIA, called out ones of Christ, but a mix bag of Judeo- altered truths, jewish myths, satanic lies, american ideas of patriotism, manifest destiny and a false gospel of purintee.. BUNK!
Come out of her!
She has perverted the truth of Christ into a mythological god named MARS!
The god of War.
I am sickened by knowing the truth. It makes my stomach turn when I hear others who claim to know Jesus, while loving war and supporting it, and proclaiming it holy.
I Thessalonians 2:13-16
4 For ye, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus:for ye also suffered the same things of your own countrymen, even as they did of the Jews; 15 who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove out us, and pleased not God, and are contrary to all men; 16 forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved; to fill up their sins always:but the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
Paul knew what to expect and it is here!
2 Timothy 4:3-4
1 I charge thee in the sight of God, and of Christ Jesus, who shall judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: 2 preach the word; be urgent in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, having itching ears, will heap to themselves teachers after their own lusts; 4 and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside unto (fables).
or (myths) some translations say-
the mythological god of Mars - the war god is the myth they have turned to.
So, I hear the Word and act on the Word.
Titus 1:10-14
For there are many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision, 11 whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake. 12 One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons. 13 This testimony is true. For which cause reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, 14 not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth. 15 To the pure all things are pure:but to them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. 16 They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
So here ye, here ye, ministers of unrighteousness, I reprove you sharply, so that you may become sound in the faith. Less, you are truly Satan who has appeared even as an angel of light.
Satan does have his ministers as well. War and the love of war are from the dredges of his bottomless pit. It was Satan who authored the first real war, when he rebelled against God, and the first human followed soon afterward with the murder of Abel.
I invite you to know the REAL JESUS - PRINCE OF PEACE, who said "my Kingdom is not of this world".
