Is our spirit connected to the perception/image we are using with God's Temple? Is opening the door to Christ inviting Him into the Temple/perception as our Image of Knowledge?

1 Corinthians 3:16
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?​


1 Corinthians 6:19
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
Job 36:7
He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous:
  • God is witnessing Righteousness
Romans 8:16
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
(scripture via user 4ChristAlone)​
  • "Children of God" is to have the Image of Christ as your perception.
1 Corinthians 15:49
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

Colossians 3:10
And have put on the new man, which is RENEWED IN KNOWLEDGE AFTER THE IMAGE OF HIM THAT CREATED HIM:

  • Are you using the beast's image in God's Temple?
  • A Righteous spirit doesn’t care about man's achievements, money, and pride (image).

We need The Way so God's Spirit can witness our spirit for righteousness.

God's Spirit witnesses we are no longer using carnal/reprobate knowledge to make choices that satan tempted us with. (image of the beast)

God's Spirit witnesses a renewed spirit (alive) as forming to the Image of Christ.

"What Would Jesus Do?" perception. You are on a team of Christ’s Body.

1 Corinthians 12:12
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
We keep our name in the Book of Life by following Jesus instead of any regular human in history for wisdom/knowledge. We need the branches of the Tree of Life.

Isaiah 53:11
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.​
  • Christ’s Knowledge
Proverbs 2:5–6
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

The tree of knowledge is literally a tree of knowledge ..man's knowledge (sans God) handed down through the generations. Branches of man’s knowledge (beast image). Imagine a tree chart with different types of science/math/physics as branches off branches. satan wants us to replace God’s Knowledge with man’s. Replacing any part of God with something else ends in a failed Judgement. What purpose is there for man’s knowledge in the afterlife?

Ecclesiastes 1:18
For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.​

2 Timothy 1:10-11

But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

  • Light through the Gospel for teaching?! Knowledge?
  • Is Light, God's Knowledge???

2 Corinthians 3:18​
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.​

  • We are changed into the Image of Christ
  • Our perception becomes Righteous

My perception/knowledge using the image of the beast died on The Cross. That means I died on The Cross with Christ. My (old) man doesn't have power over me anymore. He can make evil suggestions, but he isn't running the show.

I now have God's Perception/Knowledge in me.

I have Light.

“God told Adam not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good versus evil, or he would surely die. So if Adam DOESN'T eat from this tree, he will surely live. This is how Adam became a living soul for the Spirit of God supports Adam's life as long as he keeps the law.”​

Romans 1:22-23
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

Romans 1:25
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

View attachment 228042
the afterlife is different now since Solomon was , someone wiser has come and turned sorrow of the grave , into glory of the kingdom
now one day our knowledge will become complete when the heavenly comes after the “in part “dies the complete can come forth

“For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13:9-13‬ ‭

death now for us holding this hope

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
‭‭John‬ ‭5:24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

this plants faith

“Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?”

‭‭John‬ ‭11:25-26‬ ‭

it poses a question to us do I believe ? Is Jesus able to give life as he’s saying even after I die , can he make me live ? Will I really never face death like he said ?

Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.”
‭‭John‬ ‭8:51‬ ‭KJV‬‬

can Jesus keep this word ? Can I lay hold of the truth he’s set before us ? Will
I sell all to buy this pearl of great price ? Will I believe Jesus above the rest ?

“It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.”
‭‭John‬ ‭6:45, 47‬ ‭

In the Old Testament they didn’t have the promise we have in the gospel of life after death , not facing or entering into death , already being brought out of death ect

they had a word of sleeping in death for the righteous and waiting in torment for the wicked the sleeping don’t need knowledge , but the living in the kingdom after death in this world know the full knowledge that we can’t grasp
Yet the view looks different from the afterlife

this post is really intriguing I just wanted to quote this part about knowledge after death , the death of a believers body is only then moving from a beat down rental on earth into a new neighborhood in the heavenly kingdom beyond and just after we step through the veil of life and death, of our steps are of faith we find eternal life inside the veil rather than darkness and silence we find Gods presence on the other side of the veil now because of Christ we can live and the knowledge is the source that transforms and conforms us to the likeness of his son so we pass through the veil into the kingdom and don’t rest in the grave with the departed flesh we will some day realize we’ve been only half alive this whole time but when. Dead part sheds away our life will be complete

amen to
Much of what you are saying in the post , his spirit witnesses theee things to us by the word of the gospel the things Jesus preached after he received the Holy Spirit until his ascension into heaven are the witness of the spirit that accomplishes this transformation in other words we believe the gospel and let it into our faith compartment in our mind and heart and it reshapes our conscience because we aren’t willing to reject it knowing God said it

we need to know about the darkness in the world so we can stop walking in it , and need to know about the light of the world so we can walk in him

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

And be not conformed to this world:

but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:1-2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

and this is the world that we can no longer conform to that’s going to be destroyed

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭2:15-17‬ ‭

Gods will is what Jesus preached his doctrine

“Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.”
‭‭John‬ ‭7:16-17‬ ‭

that will conform us to Christ believing the gospel he preached but not if we reject it as the truth

belief saves us by changing us from sinners to his children less than perfect but having thier whole heart belonging to him his word still creates like in the beginning of we hear and believe the gospel

“For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

we need christs knowledge because we partook of satans and it fouled out inner mind

it’s a thought provoking post you laid out you have a good way of provoking deep thoughts I think , I’m still sort of pouring over some of the ideas you have posed lol I know I’ll be studying some things later that I hadn’t considered before , at least from your perspective and presentation here I think it gives me a reason to look at things differently and that’s a good value of this place helps to learn a lot of we open our ears and consider things from others , sometimes it really feels like God designed is to work and interact and grow in thinking together govomg and taking freely revolving around his word I always appreciate the time you take to post here and find good value for my own thinking

Paul’s doctrine brother of we take in bigger chunks of it all together at a time blows the mind indeed

“For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:29-31, 33-35, 37-39‬ ‭

it’s really something to open our ears to what’s already there in the scriptures

As we study the temple as God instructed the Hebrews to build, it is a shadow of the true temple, we are that temple. In the inner room, at the heart of the earthly shadow was the Ark of the Covenant. Only the high priest (now Christ) could enter the inner room to take the sins of the people to God for forgiveness.

Remember when Christ threw the money changers out of the Court of the Gentiles of the temple saying they had no business in God's house? We need to be careful what we let into our hearts and minds, it is God's house.

Unbelievers do not get a free pass because they have to have the LIGHT.
“Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people. My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭51:4-5‬ ‭KJV‬

“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭1:5-10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.”
‭‭John‬ ‭3:19-21‬ ‭

it’s hard to hide sin in the light of Christ and he can wash it away when we don’t try


“But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5:13-17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

the light makes darkness manifest and is in the world it is the gospel christs judgement but many desire darkness and realize the light will show thier sins for what they are so we cover the shadows so we can continue walking in those things

There is no Temple in us..

We are the temple of the LORD.. If the Holy Spirit is with us..
