Study of First Things

Does God Hate Knowledge?Does God hate knowledge?The above question might all in all sound odd or even be a strange beginning to this writing, but it is also an astounding fact check; the ideal being it was not for committing any form of atrocity but rather the assumption of the knowledge of good and evil that got man booked for the first red card and even an exit out of the garden of Eden.It was not the desire to be evil and wretched that did get man expelled but the desire for more good than that they already have; of course it had to be added, without the authentication of God. They did not want to be better put or better knowing to fight God; it only sparked interest and made them upon the good of the domineering position they held within the Garden to be in par with knowledge and ability with God. Not to riot or fight or to do harm; the wrong was they did desire more or wretched the bar of God's limit being a wrong that often befalls and catches up with the created. Then the question is; Is it wrong to know good or to know evil?A thing that even during the times of apostle Paul the apostle did confirm was already going on. Man in God's church being lifted to the level of being called or herald as God. This one simple but astounding example of the knowledge of good. One begins by carrying the pastor's Holy Bible around; a thing that means because they recognize that he is gifted they have to do favorable things to him; a thing that does not just do good but creates a quick criteria for culling. You begin to know who's Bible had to be carried and so men will begin to align self with the ideal of that bible carrying mandate. Soon they spoke and set traps for each other; the fortunate against the lacking, the knowledge able against the naïve; in the end the man whose bible has be carried before man is bought or sold to the ideals of this highly anticipated office.2 Thessalonians 2:3-12 KJV Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.If he could just carry his bible; the knowledge of the good of that office would not exist. The ideal being the moment it opens; he is no longer a servant of God or a servant of all in God's house but rather he is lifted above the house and at the end is called the father of that house. The messenger becomes the message or the witness is now the light. It becomes about his anointing his grace and even his gospel. In the purloining of Paul with Peter and the first twelve apostles; Paul himself ended up falling this same trap. He had to separate what he was teaching from the rest; though their approaches were different from the start.

The moment of the flood is the one we usually look at: but the build up occupying the preparation is often misconstrued as a quick and none repercussive time. Yet it is this time that also one should be reminded of the long suffering of God to us ward as he did wait there for Noah to finish and board the ark. Of a whole crop of humanity only one man did qualify and so he had to bring in also his house hold; of a whole earth only one could be found who the Holy Bible does not say was upright but rather found grace; or the undeserved kindness of God. It did take a number of years when God left humanity to its decay as Noah did build the ark, God was so angry He just let it be. A gap period without His watch or care but for Noah and his house. The insufferable things they did He would not watch over but rather worked a way to clear the whole damaged generation and so did look away from a generation of humanity from the beginning until the end of the building of the ark. He cared not whether you cried to Him or not until Noah entered that ark and He wiped them.The key reason for Christ spending three days in hell was to do help them do restitute and do the honors in the place of God; to preach to those who were not afforded the chance for God was angry. And to take them out of the fires of hell; it meant there were some there who deserved a second chance. The generation of Noah.1 Peter 3:19-21 KJV By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:It means all humanity and the mar of angels that leaved in that generation were wasted due to the sin of inter marriages or entangling with the angelic for it does not solely elaborate they did get their hand in marriage according to the human practice of marriage; just that they took them for wives which could mean fornication or otherwise. Yet both being not marriage before the eyes of God for man is not supposed to marry an angel or the other way round.This practice we do not just see it before the flood but also after the flood in the sons of Anak or the Anakims. They were not just large men but had six toes and six fingers instead of five and were abnormally large. This means these entanglements brought anomalies in creation; men beyond the power of restraint and men with exorbitant power. The people who went to scout the land said the land is eating up its people, though they also said it is real fertile showing by a cluster of grapes being carried between two men with a stick. A thing that meant even after the flood; they did take wives of the daughters of men.

What Is A Schedule Of Dedication? What is a schedule of dedication. Believe it or not one would soon ask. So, without further ado let us look in to it. There are two commonly used words in our faith that are both born of faith and faith without being announced is useless. That is why we are bound to confess it until it comes to pass. These two words are a blessing and a curse. The curse is the opposite of the blessing. In simple terms, words can take or give you opportunity. So the general word that means the two together is called Dedication. Meaning your life can either be dedicated to good or to bad. The ideal being dedicated to good you are blessed and being dedicated to bad or evil you are cursed. One has to look at this real close and elaborately to understand. Being cursed does not mean bad things happening to you or being blessed does not mean good things happening to you. A schedule of dedication is a simple preset program that causes your life to unfold in a certain way; in simple common words we can say; a dedication is what causes your life's program to unfold. The ideal here being, going through trials in life does not mean God hates you, take Job, Stephen and even Peter for example, John the Baptist and the poor Lazarus who had wounds that dogs often licked. They were all blessed men, yet Lazarus' whole life was a trial. The ideal of the program of your life being; what were you purposed to do? Some men like Christ were purposed to come but for thirty three and half years and that was their whole program in life. To die also hang upon a tree; a cursed first ending. John the Baptist's ministry was just like that also, to announce Christ and when Christ was announced his job and life was done, he was shelved and quickly died in prison and yet these are blessed men. The Holy Bible also talks about Lazarus and the rich man; the rich man was cursed but here on earth lived a life of lucre. This simply means; the devil or sin sometimes makes someone's life seem easy and perfect until their end here on earth; then it is the cursed shaming of hell to the lake of fire. What matters most is what were you purposed to do and did you do it according to God's given dedication. John 9:1-4 KJV And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. These two are not just a product of annunciation but also, a product of breaching the set parameters or principles can draw to one a curse. As God soon announces Israel cursed for not paying their tithes.
