" And many ignore the great significance of the Divine inspired words put forth.
And when having the knowledge, only to ignore or disregard for selfish self-centered
worldly traditions and/or physical locales, shall in all accounts be acting blatantly
against teachings inspired through Christ our Lord.
'And this takes place when not led by the Holy Spirit. To grieve the Holy Spirit shall
be the abomination that is being witnessed upon the lands.
(Seditions: Rebellion, stirring up discontent or trying to involve others in a conflict over some real or imagined cause.
Many people have been deceived into building their life’s work around a cause that has nothing to do with God’s true Word.
They thought being totally captivated by a cause and pouring all their energy and resources into it would make them righteous;
but without God, no man is righteous. The cause of the righteous is Jesus Christ and lost souls.)
(Heresy: Teaching in opposition to the Word of God! We have much heresy in the world today. Do you oppose any of the teachings in God’s Word? Do you prefer man’s doctrine over the Word of God? Do you listen to any false doctrine on the radio, television or Internet because some of it sounds all right to you? If so, you are lending an ear to heresy; and it includes that which is devilish, destructive and will send darkness upon the soul.)

“And for those who claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness,
there are many with untruths and do not live by the truth.”
It could be paraphrased to say, “If you claim to know with knowledge one has, but still walk in the dark,
then there would be a falseness about understanding God’s Word.” The Spirit of God, who enlightens
us to hear and understand God’s Word, then takes that knowledge and guides us in living it."
'And then an age that was, becomes the past age. And the age here in the now
is not the age that was in the past. And this age too, is fast becoming places of desolation
and unfit as were past ages. And it shall end in an age not one shall witness, in this age.
'And let not one's age end without spiritual preparation, here in the now, and this being essential
for an age to end well.'

"And it is disturbing, also expected of those without guidance of the Holy Spirit.
And all things that persons appear to be obsessed with pertaining to when time here is no more.
' Many shall continue to contradict and debate God's inspired words, due to 'worldly thinking',
and will forever continue to bring cause of troublesome perceptions.
'And until it is fully understood and acknowledged of the great significance and importance
to know to separate between spiritual and the carnal mind, there will remain utter confusion
and dialog that goes nowhere in maintaining a spiritual connection.
ALL THINGS pertaining to and concerning God are of a spiritual nature to embrace. And outside of His realm,
rest the physical and materialistic.
'The 'call to assemble' has been thwarted by the intellectual community that appears 'hell bent' on
blatantly ignoring in spirit and truth simply in an attempt to present themselves as scripture 'savvy',
but being spiritually vacant, thus bringing cause of God's Kingdom, not to be feasible, or realistic.
'And some of the 'heavy topics' so often brought up, I choose not to elaborate, as many sensitive
carnal minds may not be emotionally stable enough to put aside delusional thinking that apparently many
have chosen to find their own way, alone without spiritual integrity, and that being at the heart of God's Kingdom...to be."

"And the 'helper'...the Holy Spirit shall be considered necessary

"People will more likely believe in God's power when they see it work.
An actual demonstration is what convinces them. What they read in books, what they hear
people say doesn't always convince them. But when they see a real honest to goodness
change take place in a person, that's something they can believe because they can see it.
There's really only one thing that allows evidence that God's inspiration actually influences lives.
Spiritually renewed minds and actions.... here in the now."

" A powerful and moving passage that speaks to the heart of Christianity.
And the Holy Spirit signifies in spirit and truth.
And being witnessed is great turmoil within today's society, and this certainly includes
the Christian arena, here there and everywhere.
'Many make claim of 'born again', make no mistake, without a renewed and reformed mind,
the claim becomes of little significance. And until the Holy Spirit truly becomes a guiding
force in one's life...the 'man-mind' shall continue to bring cause of turmoil in life.
'Thank God I have learned over many years, nothing under the sun shall bring about a peace
and harmony without a spiritual relationship with the Holy Spirit. And no amount of
scripture, church, prayer or You Tube shall generate the benefits such as the Holy Spirit,
so long as daily perseverance is observed and acted upon in a quiet time alone fully contemplating...
that it is a time of remembrance of Christ teachings of the 'principles of life'...and honestly striving to
apply and act upon the teachings...here in the now. No More...No Less!

(Modern day 'proclaimed Christians ' have taken it upon themselves to bend, twist
and rearrange the teachings of Christ to suit their own personal agenda of worldly
delusional concepts, and often perhaps for personal recognition and/or acclaim.)
"And many are in need of careful contemplation of the harm imposed when not having
the spiritual mental capacity to grasp essential ingredients necessary concerning the
sacredness of scripture."
The metaphor category contains these specialized types:
Metaphor = Something used, or regarded as being used, to represent something else; emblem; symbol
Allegory: An extended metaphor wherein a story illustrates an important attribute of the subject.
Allegory = a representation of an abstract or spiritual meaning; figurative treatment of one subject under the guise of, a symbolical narrative
Antithesis: A rhetorical contrast of ideas by means of parallel arrangements of words, clauses, or sentences.
Catachresis: A mixed metaphor, sometimes used by design and sometimes by accident (a rhetorical fault).
Parables = a simple story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson.
Parable: An extended metaphor told as an anecdote to illustrate or teach a moral or spiritual lesson.
Similitude(s) = a comparison between two things, or a person or thing resembling another. Something Similar.
Similitude: An extended simile or metaphor that has a picture part, a reality part, and a point of comparison.
Similitudes are found in the parables of Jesus.
Emblem = Like an Icon, it is representative of an object used to Symbolize something. The Olive Branch is an emblem of peace.
Signs = an object, quality, or event whose presence or occurrence indicates the probable presence, occurrence, or advent of something else. An event that tells us that something else is about to happen.
Riddles = a question or statement phrased so as to require ingenuity in coming to a conclusion of its answer or meaning. Riddles are associated with proverbs and parables as means of teaching wisdom.
The term metaphor is used to describe more basic or general aspects of experience and cognition:
A cognitive metaphor is the association of object to an experience outside the object's environment.
A conceptual metaphor is an underlying association that is systematic in both language and thought.
A root metaphor is the underlying worldview that shapes an individual's understanding of a situation.
A nonlinguistic metaphor is an association between two nonlinguistic realms of experience.
A visual metaphor uses an image to create the link between different ideas.
2 Timothy 3:1-5
But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
“Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear". ((Mark 4:9, 23)
This was a call to listen to the parables, not just as one would listen to an ordinary story but as one who is seeking the truth of God. May God grant us all ears to truly “hear.”
