The manyfold Wisdom of God is a Mistery unfolding. Consistent with interpretation of Parables. "Have you understood all these things? 'Yes Lord.' 'Therefore everyone instructed in the Kingdom of God, will be like a householder bringing out of His treasure things New and old." "Now we know in part," and interpret the manifold Wisdom of God, saying the same thing diferently and umless we mature in Love are in danger of quarreling among ourselves and remaining babes. As dictators thinking we are right and unless others believe as we do, are lost. Not knowing that this way of thinking was abolished along with the old covenant in the death and Resurrection of Jesus; making "The Way," for "Whosoever will, let Him come and drink of the water of Life freely." Will adress the prophesy of this change of Law in the next page. Another interesting meaning of manifold is an engine having many cilenders exhausting into a manifold that combines into one pipe. Like the Mystery of the seven churches in Revelations combining into One Body of Christ. "But in the days of the voice of the sevent Angel when he shall begin to sound, the Mistery of God should be finished as He had declared to His servants theprophets." Babes in Christ can't comprehend the Wisdom of God, and when we grow in Love, we have to accept that "Now we know in part and see dimly." "If any man thinks he knows, he does not know as he should, but if a man Loves God, the same is Known of Him." If we think we know, we stop learning. "Lean not on your own undwrstanding but trust in the Lord." Trust is power to move forward in the Light we have to get more Light. But if we nail down what we think we know in a box of our understanding, we stay where we are, much like an adict. There is evidence with brain maping research that an adict lives in the reptilian brain or lizard brain in the center of the brain: a prison of his understanding or lack thereof. I understood this prison as the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, seperating us from the garden of God and Wisdom of God also in the center of the Garden: Living from the heart, by the Spirit of God. Medical science also discovered that our heart has memory. A woman who received a heart transplant from a teenage boy, now had desires to ride a motercicle... The term desires of the heart is literally where our first love is and why it must belong to God.
Babes in Christ are still identified with the egotist full of himself and unable to do any work, much like a baby in the flesh. Hence the saying "Not by the works of righteousness witch we have done but by His Grace alone. But to remain there is to lose our reward. Jesus told us, "whoever seeks to save his life will loose it, and whoever will lose His life for My sake and mesage will save it." "Some will be saved through fire and lose their reward." The reward is to have part in the first Resurrection, "The rest of the dead, did nor come to life until the thousand years were fulfilled." Those who invested their whole heart "In fellowship of the sufferings of Christ," do not die. "If we suffer with Him we shall rule with Him." We count the cost to follow Him as "A double minded man is unstable in all his ways." It cost us everything and nothing, "As appart from Love I am nothing." "Let us go on to perfection... and this we will do if God permits." 'Strive to enter in at the Straight Gate, for many shall seek to enter in and shall not be able."

"When I came to you brethren, I did not come proclaiming the Mistery of God in lofty words of wisdom. For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. I was with you in weakness and fear and trembling; and my preaching was not in enticing words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and power of God; that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. Yet among the mature we do speak Wisdom, though not wisdom of this age, of the rulers of this age who pass away; but hidden Wisdom of God, determined before the foundation of the world, for our resurrection. None of the rulers of this age understood this, for if they had they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it's written, “No eye has seen, nor ear has heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who Love him,” What God revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. For what person knows a man’s thoughts except the spirit of the man which is in him? Also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit of God, that we might understand the gifts given us by God. We impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual Truth to those who possess the Spirit. The natural man does not receive the gifts of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, he is not able to receive them because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual man judges all things, but is himself judged by no one. “For who has known the mind of the Lord to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ."
