What Paul meant when he said, "I am crucified
with Christ and now it is not I that Lives but Christ Lives in me."
The "I" that was crucified with Christ was his "Self"
- his separated (from God) "Self" with all of its selfishness and "Self-will",
rather than God's Will (Islam in Arabic).
He stated that his "Self" was already dead and
the rest of his statement follows on from, and depends upon, that first
statement of the "Self" having already been crucified. If the "Self"
is not dead, then the rest of what he says does NOT apply. Read
it properly!
He speaks in the past tense NOT present tense.
He says his crucifixion was completed during his years in Damascus (Qumran)
and Arabia, ALONE with His Lord.
He had taken up his cross (his "Self")
DAILY and
followed 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 about until it is crucified and leaves you free from its insatiable
demands and burdens, that weigh you down and make you stumble and make
your life selfish and a misery. This means killing the "Self"
DAILY
and obviously does NOT mean committing suicide, as you cannot commit
suicide every day.
This dying DAILY, all day, every day, to "Self"
- the destroying of your own individual "Self"-ishness can
ONLY
be achieved by following Christ's Teaching exactly and NOT
Paul's or the christian church's teaching.
You must die to "Self" daily - DAILY until your
human "Self"-will and "Self"-ishness are dead and then, when you are
TRULY
spirit in an earthen vessel, and NOT an earthen vessel with
spirit in it, you will be motivated only by Christ and He will be Living
in your earthen-vessel, with you, instead of the "Self" living in
it. You will then be working 24 hours a day to set up His Kingdom of Israel;
- a NATION with God's Laws; Statutes; Judgements; Economic Policy;
Agricultural Policy and healthy balanced diet etc., for Him to reign over
here on Earth and NOT a spiritualised abstract church.
Paul, in attempting to teach, was dis-obeying his Master
(Matthew 23:8-10) and has caused more damage to Christ's Mission and Kingdom
than anyone else has because all of the "so-called" christian religions
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 written or
dictated by Paul but are still attributed to him, by the churches, who
have founded themselves, AGAINST Christ's orders (Matthew 6:5 &
6), on what are referred to as being "the Letters of Paul".
Matthew 6
6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt NOT be as
the hypocrites [ARE]: for they
love to pray standing in the churches
and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Verily
I say unto you, They have their reward (they wanted to be seen and they
have been seen, so they already have the reward they wanted and therefore
God will
NOT answer them).
6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet,
and
WHEN THOU HAST SHUT THY DOOR, pray to thy Father IN PRIVATE
(Enoch
56:5; Sura 7:55); and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee
openly (by answering you).
ALL of the "so-called" christian churches always
quote the letters of Paul and NOT Christ for their own existence,
and, if there is a conflict, they take the view they think is expressed
in Paul's letters, rather than Christ's view. This, in itself, is AGAINST
Christ's Teaching recorded in Matthew 23 and Matthew 6 and is also
totally illogical because they take what they think is the opinion
of a student in primary school (Paul) and give it more credibility than
the opinion of the Supreme and ONLY Teacher and that is not
only 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 called priest (etc.): for one
is your Master, [even] Christ; and all ye are brethren.
23:9 And call NO [man] your father
upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
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 that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
23:13 But woe unto you, lawyers and politicians, (who
were also priests) hypocrites! for ye shut up the Kingdom of heaven
against men: for ye neither go in [yourselves], neither allow ye
them that are entering to go in.
People follow the "so-called" teaching of Paul
rather than Christ and go to church because they are lazy and are looking
for an "easy-path" and there is
NO easy path. So they are
being deceived by satan and are suffering from "Self"-delusion and become
priests and "agents of evil", unwittingly, most of them.
Matthew 7
7:13 Enter ye in at the "Strait" gate: for wide
[is] the gate, and
broad [is] the way (the "easy-path"), that leadeth
to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat (most
of mankind):
7:14 Because Strait [is] the gate, and narrow
[is] The Way (like the eye of a needle), which leadeth unto Life,
and (extremely) few there be that find it (as the "Times of Noah"
will it be").
People spend lifetimes trying to understand what Paul
meant in his letters, instead of spending their time studying, doing and
"Living" the Teaching of Christ and DAILY crucifying "Self", as
Paul had already done. "Take up your cross DAILY and follow ME
- MY example and Teaching on how to do it." (Luke 9:23).
Christ came to set up His Kingdom using His Servant NATION
Israel (the British), not Judah (the Jewish), as a foundation for it and
then by implementing the NATIONAL Laws; Statutes; Judgements; Economic
Policy; Agricultural Policy and healthy balanced diet, that He gave to
Israel (the British), through Moses, at Horeb, in Sinai, to gradually graft
the Gentile nations into Israel, and make the whole world into the Kingdom
of Israel - God's Kingdom on
Earth, voluntarily.
Then the whole world would be at peace, living voluntarily
in harmony with each other and with nature and God, with everyone loving
his neighbours as much as (or, preferably, more than) he loves himself.
Who is my neighbour? The man next to you and the man on
the far side of the planet and everyone in between.
The word British is actually Hebrew and means "the
man or People 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 he answered and said, I am not
sent but unto the 'lost sheep' of the "House of Israel" (the Ten "Lost"
Tribes of Israel who became Christ's, at least in name).
The christian church has purposely wrongly translated
the word "community" as "church" to try to justify their own existence
and the "holy people" (Israel) as "saints" to deceive everyone and
hide
the Truth, so that they could then falsely claim to be Israel the church,
instead
of Israel the NATION.
You were told to preach the Gospel of the KINGDOM,
not the church, to all
NATIONS not churches, for a witness
(Revelation 11 v 3) and then the end of Satan's rule would come
- the end of the "Winter" age or dispensation
NOT the planet (Matthew
24 v 14).
That means that when everyone knows how
fair
God's Laws and Economics are for EVERYONE; not like man's laws and
economics, which have one law for the poor and another for the rich; then
the people would get rid 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 to do,
through you, from within and it is what Paul refers to when he says that
Christ lives within him and Christ persuades men through him, (Galatians
1:10). "Do I persuade men or does God do it
THROUGH 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 NOT
God's "self"-less Kingdom. Therefore, if
you are doing; saying; thinking or spending money on anything that is
not
directly helping Christ to set up His Kingdom, and storing up
treasure in heaven instead of here, on Earth, then your "Self" is
NOT
crucified and you are NOT "perfect in Christ", but your "Self" (Ego)
lives in you and is feeding itself and building its own kingdom, where
it is king, instead of Christ.
(Please read "The
Different effects of Nature and Grace")
Paul said his "Self" was crucified ALREADY and
that Paul the separate "Self" was dead and Christ was living in him, in
place of the "Self" (instead of "Self"), teaching him and using him to
set up His Kingdom for the benefit of ALL men.
Christ came, not to destroy the NATIONAL (moral)
Law and Prophets (only the ceremonial sacrificial Law, which was only a
school-master to bring people to Christ) but to fulfill them. The prophets
all prophesied about The Kingdom and the setting up of The Kingdom, with
its Laws; Statutes; Judgements; Economic Policy; Agricultural Policy etc.
and the peace; prosperity and blessings it would bestow on ALL mankind
- "Summer".
Matthew 5
5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the Law,
or the Prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth
pass, one jot or one tittle shall in NO way pass from
the Law, till
all (the prophecies) be fulfilled.
5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least
COMMANDments,
and shall teach men so, he shall be called
the least in the Kingdom
of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall
be called
great in the Kingdom of heaven.
5:20 For I say unto you, That except your
righteousness shall EXCEED [the righteousness] of the lawyers and
politicians (who were also priests), ye shall in NO case enter into
the Kingdom of heaven.
You must therefore STOP thinking about and feeding
the "Self"-life and crucify it and let Christ teach YOU how to set
up His Kingdom and not your own "Self's" kingdom, where you are king instead
of Christ being King.
Put on "the whole armour of God" ("The Force")
and fight with the "Sword of the Spirit," which is The Word of God or
TRUTH
or
CHRIST who has "the two-edged sword" ("Light-Sabre") that
comes out of His mouth and yours, when He lives in you because the "Self"
is dead and then tell people about the wonderful Kingdom, here on Earth,
that they can ALL share, IF they help you to convince everyone
to turn away from politics and religions (which most people hate anyway
already) to Theocracy and God's Kingdom, where there is no crime because
there are NO POOR PEOPLE (no poverty).
That is what
YOU were ordered to do and
if you are NOT doing it, then you are NOT Christ's but Paul's.
You are not Christ's but Paulians and in MIS-understanding Paul
you are
satan's because you are doing something other than the "Will
of God" (Islam in Arabic) and there is
NO middle-ground.
"Those who are not WITH Me, gathering together and building My Kingdom
(not church or religion) are AGAINST Me and are scattering abroad
(disuniting and creating hostility between the believers)" (Matthew 12:30
& Genesis 49:10).
Don't let your "Self" delude you. Crucify it
DAILY
and help to set up The Kingdom using God's Ways and God's NATION
- (the 10-Tribed House of Israel - Britain and the Commonwealth; America;
Scandinavia; the Netherlands; the Baltic States; Northern France and Celtic
Spain) starting at His "place of defence", His right hand, the Fortress
of Rock - 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 to defend them and feed them, where their
waters shall be sure - Isaiah 43:6 and 33:16.
The 2-Tribed House of Judah (the Jewish) have never accepted
their true King - Christ, so will not help until The Kingdom is already
in existence with Christ over it.
Stop sitting there patting your "Selves" on the back and
being lazy and deluding yourselves that your "Self" is dead and you are
"perfect in Christ", or "Saved", when your "Self" is really alive and deceiving
you into not doing Christ's and God's Will of setting up the NATIONAL
Kingdom for
Christ to come and rule over, physically, in person
(Genesis 49:10 note well verses 22-24 - with a body from Joseph
NOT Judah - the Jews - that means with a NEW body from the
Tribe of Joseph/Ephraim NOT the old one from Judah - the Jews),
