What Paul meant when he said, "I amcrucified with Christ and now it is not I that Lives but Christ Livesin me."
The "I" that was crucified with Christ was his"Self" - his separated (from God) "Self" with all of its selfishnessand "Self-will", rather than God's Will (Islam in Arabic).
He stated that his "Self" was already dead and the rest of hisstatement follows on from, and depends upon, that first statement ofthe "Self" having already been crucified. If the "Self" is not dead, then the restof what he says does NOT apply. Read itproperly!
He speaks in the past tense NOT present tense. He says hiscrucifixion was completed during his years in Damascus (Qumran) andArabia, ALONEwith His Lord.
He had taken up his cross (his "Self")DAILY andfollowed his Lord's Example of crucifying his "Self" on the'cross of "Self"-sacrifice'. Your "Self" is the cross YOU have to bear and carry aboutuntil it is crucified and leaves you free from its insatiable demandsand burdens, that weigh you down and make you stumble and make yourlife selfish and a misery. This means killing the "Self"DAILY andobviously does NOT mean committing suicide, as you cannot commit suicide everyday.
This dying DAILY, all day, every day, to"Self" - the destroying of your own individual "Self"-ishness canONLY be achievedby following Christ's Teaching exactly and NOT Paul's or the christianchurch's teaching.
You must die to "Self" daily - DAILY until your human"Self"-will and "Self"-ishness are dead and then, when you areTRULYspirit in an earthenvessel, and NOT an earthen vessel withspirit in it, you will be motivated only by Christ and He will beLiving in your earthen-vessel, withyou, instead of the "Self" living in it.You will then be working 24 hours a day to set up His Kingdom ofIsrael; - a NATION with God'sLaws; Statutes; Judgements; EconomicPolicy; Agricultural Policy and healthy balanced diet etc., for Himto reign over here on Earth and NOT a spiritualised abstractchurch.
Paul, in attempting to teach, was dis-obeying hisMaster (Matthew 23:8-10) and has caused more damage to Christ'sMission and Kingdom than anyone else has because all of the "so-called" christianreligions are based on the letters of Paul and NOT on the Teaching of Christ.Some of the letters, or parts of his letters, were not even writtenor dictated by Paul but are still attributed to him, by the churches,who have founded themselves, AGAINST Christ's orders (Matthew6:5 & 6), on what are referred to as being "the Letters ofPaul".
Matthew 6
6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt NOT be as the hypocrites[ARE]: for theylove to pray standing in thechurches and in the corners of thestreets, that they may be seen by men. Verily I say unto you, Theyhave their reward (they wanted to be seen and they have been seen, sothey already have the reward they wanted and therefore God willNOT answerthem).
6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, andWHENTHOU HAST SHUT THY DOOR, pray to thy Father IN PRIVATE(Enoch 56:5; Sura 7:55); and thy Fatherwhich seeth in secret shall reward thee openly (by answeringyou).
ALL of the"so-called" christian churches always quote the letters of Pauland NOT Christfor their own existence, and, if there is a conflict, they take theview they thinkis expressed in Paul's letters, rather than Christ's view. This, initself, is AGAINST Christ'sTeaching recorded in Matthew 23 andMatthew 6 and is also totally illogical because they take what theythink is theopinion of a student in primary school (Paul) and give it morecredibility than the opinion of the Supreme and ONLY Teacher and that is notonly illogical, it is dis-obedient and stupid when your life depends upon getting it right.
Matthew 23
23:7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called by men, Priest,Rabbi, Imam, etc.
23:8 But be not ye calledpriest (etc.): for one is your Master,[even] Christ; and all ye are brethren.
23:9 And call NO [man] yourfather upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is inheaven.
23:10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, [even]Christ.
23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he thatshall humble himself shall be exalted.
23:13 But woe unto you, lawyers and politicians, (who were alsopriests) hypocrites! for ye shutup the Kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither goin [yourselves], neither allow ye them that are entering to goin.
People follow the "so-called" teachingof Paul rather than Christ and go to church because they are lazy andare looking for an "easy-path" and there isNO easy path. Sothey are being deceived by satan and are suffering from"Self"-delusion and become priests and "agentsof evil",unwittingly, most of them.
Matthew 7
7:13 Enter ye in at the "Strait"gate: for wide [is] the gate, andbroad [is] theway (the "easy-path"), that leadeth todestruction, and many there be which go inthereat (most of mankind):
7:14 Because Strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] The Way(like the eye of a needle), which leadethunto Life, and(extremely) fewthere be that find it (as the "Times ofNoah" willit be").
People spend lifetimes trying to understand whatPaul meant in his letters, instead of spending their time studying,doing and "Living" the Teaching of Christ and DAILY crucifying "Self", as Paulhad already done. "Take up your cross DAILY and follow ME - MY example and Teaching on howto do it." (Luke 9:23).
Christ came to set up His Kingdom using HisServant NATIONIsrael (the British), not Judah (the Jewish), as a foundation for itand then by implementing the NATIONAL Laws; Statutes;Judgements; Economic Policy; Agricultural Policy and healthy balanceddiet, that He gave to Israel (the British), through Moses, at Horeb,in Sinai, to gradually graft the Gentile nations into Israel, andmake the whole world into the Kingdom of Israel - God's Kingdom onEarth,voluntarily.
Then the whole world would be at peace, livingvoluntarily in harmony with each other and with nature and God, witheveryone loving his neighbours as much as (or, preferably, more than)he loves himself.
Who is my neighbour? The man next to you and theman on the far side of the planet and everyone in between.
The word British is actually Hebrew and means "the man orPeople of The Covenant", in other words the True Israel People or"House of Israel", referred to by Christ in Matthew 15:-
Matthew 15:24 But heanswered and said, I am not sent but unto the 'lost sheep' of the"House of Israel" (the Ten "Lost" Tribes of Israel who becameChrist's, at least in name).
The christian church has purposely wrongly translated theword "community" as "church" to try to justify their own existenceand the "holy people" (Israel) as "saints" to deceive everyone andhide the Truth,so that they could then falsely claim to be Israel the church,instead ofIsrael the NATION.
You were told topreach the Gospel of theKINGDOM, not the church, to allNATIONSnot churches,for a witness (Revelation 11 v 3) and then the end of Satan's rulewould come - the end of the "Winter" age or dispensationNOT the planet(Matthew 24 v 14).
That means that when everyone knows howfair God's Lawsand Economics are for EVERYONE; not like man's lawsand economics, which have one law for the poor and another forthe rich; then the people would getrid of men's evil systems of government, which are inspired by Satan,and set up God's Kingdom on Earth, for the benefit of ALL mankind.
That is the ONLY thing that Christ wants todo, through you, from within and it is what Paul refers to when hesays that Christ lives within him and Christ persuades men throughhim, (Galatians 1:10). "Do I persuade men or does God do itTHROUGH me?" -because the "Self" is crucified already and Christ (The TRUTH) lives in him.
The human "Self" wants only to build its own"Self"-ish little kingdom and NOTGod's "self"-less Kingdom. Therefore, ifyou are doing; saying; thinking or spending money on anything that isnot directly helping Christ to set up His Kingdom, and storing uptreasure in heaven instead of here, on Earth, then your "Self" isNOT crucifiedand you are NOT"perfect in Christ", but your "Self" (Ego) lives in you and isfeeding itself and building its own kingdom, where it is king, instead of Christ. (Please read "The Different effects of Nature andGrace")
Paul said his "Self" was crucified ALREADY and that Paul theseparate "Self" was dead and Christ was living in him, in place ofthe "Self" (instead of "Self"), teaching him and using him to set upHis Kingdom for the benefit of ALL men.
Christ came, not to destroy the NATIONAL (moral) Law andProphets (only the ceremonial sacrificial Law, which was only aschool-master to bring people to Christ) but to fulfill them. Theprophets all prophesied about The Kingdom and the setting up of TheKingdom, with its Laws; Statutes; Judgements; Economic Policy;Agricultural Policy etc. and the peace; prosperity and blessings itwould bestow on ALL mankind - "Summer".
Matthew 5
5:17 Think notthat I am come to destroy the Law, or the Prophets: I am not come todestroy, but to fulfill.
5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jotor one tittle shall in NO way pass fromtheLaw, till all (the prophecies) befulfilled.
5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these leastCOMMANDments, and shall teach men so, he shall be calledtheleast in the Kingdom of heaven:but whosoever shall do andteach [them], the same shall be calledgreat in theKingdom of heaven.
5:20 For I sayunto you, Thatexcept yourrighteousness shall EXCEED [the righteousness] of the lawyers and politicians (whowere also priests), ye shall in NO case enter into the Kingdomof heaven.
You must therefore STOP thinking about and feedingthe "Self"-life and crucify it and let Christ teach YOU how to set up His Kingdomand not your own "Self's" kingdom, where you are king instead ofChrist being King.
Put on "the whole armourof God" ("TheForce") andfight with the "Sword of the Spirit," which is The Word of God orTRUTH orCHRIST who has"the two-edged sword" ("Light-Sabre") that comes out ofHis mouth and yours, when He lives in you because the "Self" is deadand then tell people about the wonderful Kingdom, here on Earth, thatthey can ALLshare, IF theyhelp you to convince everyone to turn away frompolitics and religions (which most people hate anyway already) toTheocracy and God's Kingdom, where there is no crime because thereare NO POOR PEOPLE (nopoverty).
That is whatYOU were orderedto do and if you are NOT doing it, then you are NOT Christ's but Paul's. You arenot Christ's but Paulians and in MIS-understanding Paul you aresatan's becauseyou are doing something other than the "Will of God" (Islam in Arabic) and there isNOmiddle-ground. "Those who are not WITH Me, gathering together andbuilding My Kingdom (not church or religion) are AGAINST Me and are scatteringabroad (disuniting and creating hostility between the believers)"(Matthew 12:30 & Genesis 49:10).
Don't let your "Self" delude you. Crucify itDAILY and helpto set up The Kingdom using God's Ways and God's NATION - (the 10-Tribed House ofIsrael - Britainand the Commonwealth; America; Scandinavia; the Netherlands; the Baltic States; NorthernFrance and CelticSpain) starting at His"place of defence", His right hand, the Fortress ofRock - Isaiah 33:16 & Isaiah 42:11 -GIBRALTAR - "Gebal Tariq" - "Tariq's Rock" - Tariq means, in Arabic,the "Night Visitant" - "I shall come as a thief in the night" -Christ. Christ's Rock of defence to gather the people together todefend them and feed them, where their waters shall besure - Isaiah 43:6 and 33:16.
The 2-Tribed House of Judah (the Jewish) havenever accepted their true King - Christ, so will not help until TheKingdom is already in existence with Christ over it.
Stop sitting there patting your "Selves" on theback and being lazy and deluding yourselves that your "Self" is deadand you are "perfect in Christ", or "Saved", when your "Self" is really alive anddeceiving you into not doing Christ's andGod's Will of setting up the NATIONAL Kingdom forChrist to come and ruleover, physically, inperson (Genesis 49:10 note well verses 22-24 - with abody from Joseph NOT Judah - the Jews - that means with a NEW body from the Tribe ofJoseph/Ephraim NOT the old one from Judah - the Jews), HERE, on Earth.
