Understanding for New Mystics

People who realize they are New Mystics, have enter into a world that can be confusing. Depending on your nature of your Mystic Gift, will determine what understanding you will need. As a metaphorical example, I will talk about changing the oil on a car, yet if your Mystic Gift is a bicycle, you will not need this understanding, if you are a Tank, the oil changing will be just a basic knowledge, and you will have to use that simple explanation and fit it according to your needs. So, know yourself and you will know your gift, but more important, know God and you will know yourself and others, for we were created in his image.

What I will do is first give a general definition of mystics. Then list some types of mystics’ gifts with definitions under that. Throughout the latter I will give some sources of influence that affect mystics.


Definitions:

A Mystic as defined basically by the Church is one who has intimacy with God. So, Mystics tend to be more hands on with the spiritual realm than other people, than just in teaching or doctrine. So, Mystics tend to be way more spiritual in the aspect of encounters with the spiritual realm, influence from the spiritual realm, and direction day to day from the spiritual realm that most religious people. This tends to make Mystics harder to understand for most people. So, if people really don’t understand you and think you are weird, that is normal.

Mystics, tend to be themselves, Studiers of Mysteries, Paradoxes, Dualities of Words, symbolism, principles that influence the world, Arch-types, parables, and secrets, just to name a few. Since they are studiers of these, and since they get extra influence from the spiritual realm on these, they tend to, after many years, be great Revelators, Prophets, Visionaries, Leaders of new movements (because the older movements will not change).


Overall Life of a Mystic:

Beginning Mystics tend not to understand they are Mystics, yet are a lot of times trained in the basic wisdom of the world as a base, and then they know inside themselves that there is something deeper, that this knowledge just doesn’t quite add up. Then, they tend to have long periods of separation from that knowledge base and self reflect, come in contact with the spiritual realm, and understand and formulate the understanding of the Mysteries they have discovered. Then they tend to begin to share this knowledge, then other mystics gain understanding and so call ‘follow them’ and then persecution arises from those who are of the old world (meaning: the world where they got their initial understanding) and then a new awakening happens.

If you look at this life cycle of a mystic, you will see basically the many of the same type cycles in the lives of the biblical characters Moses, King David, Daniel, Jesus, and the Apostle Paul. But, also if you look into other mystics, whether you agree with their understandings or not, you will see some of the same life cycles, Lao Tzu, Buddha, Martin Luther, Joseph Smith, St Teresa de Avila, St John of the Cross, Augustine, the Desert Fathers, and the list goes on.


Dangers to Mystics:

The danger to Mystics is that they can step out of their gifting or calling and get themselves into all kinds of trouble. As an example: William Branham (1909-1964) had a huge gift of healing and divine insight into knowledge of people’s lives. He could tell them their address, colors of their house, details that they would only know and was said to be one hundred percent accurate, yet he predicted the coming of Jesus in 1977. Branham had the gift of healing and words of knowledge, but may have stepped into the realm of doctrinal revelation and into the teaching gift, and so according to some, may have missed it in that area. So, if you are black and white in your personality and judgments you may say “he was not of God,” but if you are more eclectic in your judgments you may say, “Well what can I glean from that which was good, and no one is perfect, look at Moses, King David, and the Apostle Paul, and what is God trying to reveal to me, for if he was of God or not that is up to God. God may want to spend eternity with William Branham and who am I to determine who God let’s into his house, I mean, “God is letting me in, so why not William Branham?”

I don’t use the example of William Branham to accuse, defend, or condemn him, what I am trying to show is that their may be areas that you as a Mystic are not called. But, if your Mystic Gift is huge and powerful in one area, you may have a tendency to get pulled into other areas, which are outside of your gift, and you have to know your limitations. When that other gift is called for, which you don’t have, you have to either say, “I can’t do that,” or you have to find someone else who has that Gift and share your service to others. This is the true understanding of the principle of ‘humility.’ Humility is not saying “Oh I am worthless;” when you have a great gift, or saying “I have all gifts because God is in me.’ But, humility is knowing the truth about yourself. “I am effective in these areas, but have difficulties in these other areas.” That way, (metaphorically) you are not a fancy sports car that is really fast and powerful, trying to pull a tank that is stuck in the mud. Know your gifts and your limitations. Know yourself and know God, for he does not use all in the same way, so that all can be honored for their own personal gifts, whether mystic, or prophet, or evangelist, or mother, or father, or friend to those in need.


Gifts of Mystics:

Remember mystics, as stated above are a type of beings that have easier contact with the spiritual realm, yet each has different gifts. Many mystics have multiple gifts, and each gift may have a certain power level.

The primary gift of mystics is intimacy with the spiritual realm. They if they meditate, wait, search, seek, knock, they will come in contact with God. Or in like my case, I was chosen by Grace and so I got dragged into the presence of God by my hair, all the while kicking and screaming, crying and moaning, complaining and accusing the Heart of a Loving God, all the way.


Mystic Gift of Intercession:

Mystics who have the gift of intercession are those that feel what others are going through; they actually walk in another’s moccasins (shoes) and pray for that person. They take the yucky stuff and pray back good stuff; they take curses and send back blessings. They are the mediators between God and man. For more information on this gift, search for burden bearing articles in the search bar above. Also see Isaiah 53.


Mystic Gift of Revelation:

Mystic Revelators are people like Moses, Daniel, Jesus, and the Apostle Paul. All four of these had huge revelatory gifts. Moses was intimate with God and brought the covenant of the Law. Daniel was a huge mystic revelator who communicated with God three times a day and brought insightful visions of the last days. Jesus brought the perfect understanding of the Covenant of Grace to those under the Law. The apostle Paul brought huge understanding of the mysteries of Grace to the non-Israelites world. Moses, Daniel, and the Apostle Paul all had scribal anointings (gift of writing), whereas Jesus only wrote in the dirt (literally). All of these revelators had encounters with the spiritual realm and angels. Listen to what the angels say to you.


Mystic Gift of Discernment:

The Mystic Gift of Discernment is a huge gift for Mystics and helps protect them from many principles that lead to evil. Most Mystics have a tendency to fight against the teaching of legalists, or as also called groundlings. These are people who are religious but have no contact or influence from the spiritual realm. Look into the life of Jesus and how he fought against the Pharisees, and how Martin Luther fought against the religious people of his day. This is because Mystics have an intrinsic bad taste for religiosity, Churchianity, systems, formulas to get what you want for the spiritual realm, Phariseeism, dead religion, power structures that oppress people with fear, guilt, and shame. They are basically spiritually allergic to it and it causes them all kinds on allergic reactions in their spirit. This is why when you walk into certain churches you find yourself getting physically nauseous.


Mystic Gift of Philosophy:

Philosophy is the ‘Love of Wisdom.’ Solomon and the bible teaches us to pursue wisdom. Wisdom in general to fear God, who only accepts us by his grace and mercy, and we are powerless to help ourselves, so we fear God because his love is free and gracious, and cannot be manipulated (Believe me I have tried for years to manipulate God and I have not succeeded yet and never will). But also wisdom is the understanding of the basic principles of the spiritual realm, both that which is good and that which is not so good. Understanding the good and the differences between those good things like; Love, mercy, forgiveness, freedom, pardon (justification), sacrifice, jealousy, wrath, kindness, process of becoming a bride (sanctification), friendship, servant hood, grace (free love gifts), works, honor, revelation, logic, humility, knowing that you are unworthy yet worthy because you are loved, acceptance, boundaries, covenants and their affects, discernment, listening and obeying.

Also understanding the negative areas of the spiritual realm and their effects such as; guilt, fear, shame, greed (in all areas), self centeredness, jealousy, wrath, honor, licentiousness (cheep grace) and legalism (outward system of goodness), group think, when boundaries become systems to control the freedom of others, guilt trips, accusation, insinuations, power tripping, power-fear tripping, cliques, fallacies, and dogmatism and etcetera.

As you may have noticed, the same descriptive principle words, are found in both lists. Almost all principles can be found in both. God is a jealous God, for he is our husband, yet we can use jealousy to control others freedom. Wrath: wrath is great if you are protecting someone from someone evil in an emergency (God protecting the Israelites form the Egyptians during Moses time), yet the wrath of man can be used in a very evil manner and so God limits that area to himself, “Vengeance is mine says the Lord, I will repay.” So, in understanding this, then a mystic limits himself from vengeance and if he finds it in himself/herself, then he/she looks for the root cause, maybe there are judgments that are in their heart and not love, and so looks to reprogram her/his heart and mind to love greater and leave the consequences of another’s actions to the day of their final judgment, which we all must face.

In understanding the duality of the meanings of words, depending on their source, a Mystic can use as an example the word ‘Religion’ in a good connotation or a bad, depending on to whom the mystic is talking. For, Religion can mean from its origin ‘to reconnect’ or it can be used from a negative connotation of the ‘unseeing form of ritual legalism.’ The duality of meanings depending on the power that is empowering it enables the mystic to understand; for he/she is not only understanding the meaning, but understands the underlying power empowering it.

So, the mystic understands that their can be dual or many meanings to principles. This understanding of dualities fits right in with what Solomon that a wise grabs a hold of something with one hand but does not lets go of the opposite with the other hand. Therefore, a Mystic understands the balance of both eternal love and eternal wrath, predestination and freewill, law and grace, weeping and joy, pain and ecstasy, eternal acceptance and the fear of the Lord. The Mystic understands the notes of both the high keys and the lows keys of the whole eternal piano of God, for God weeps when we weep and rejoices when we rejoice because his love is others’ centered.


Mystic Understanding through the Natural Realm:

This form of understanding comes through what the Mystic seeing in the earthly realm. This is how Jesus taught people about the Kingdom of God. He used parables that people saw in the natural realm to teach the spiritual realm from the natural realm. A Mystic can still learn from God about the spiritual realm and the heart of God from what God teaches through examples from the natural realm.

These examples I call ‘filters.’ These picture/parable filters help to filter our understanding of the spiritual realm. These parables are pictures that cause one to filter their spiritual belief systems. Now, these filter do not necessarily cause a whole new belief, but causes our belief systems to be refined. So speaking from the realm of physics and chemistry, what happens is that each parable/picture filter refines the chemistry of our belief system and refines it. So, the more of this refining that happens the more pure our spirituality becomes.

As an example… when one talks about love, but we get a picture of honor, then that love is refined that by the principle of honor. Now when we get that understanding then we filter this loving honor we filter it by graciousness, and so we end up with loving honor of grace. Sometimes we get a negative understanding of a principle, let’s say accusation. We come to understand that we are all criminals or not perfect, and that we will have to be judged, then we see that we cannot accuse without ourselves being judged. So, we see that love does not accuse others before others or before God. When this divine revelation of the parable of Matthew 18, then we come to find loving, honoring gracious relationship of non-accusation. A Mystic’s belief system can be filtered by hundreds or even thousands of these types of filters.

This is why it takes a mystic so long to mature.

Understanding guilt, shame and fear tactics can help a Mystic avoid someone infusing the sense of guilt, fear, and shame into the chemistry of our relationship to our Daddy. But, also a Mystic understands the true nature of the fear of God, because they know Daddy can be offended by our hatred and accusation towards other people and his heart is tender towards many people, for he has compassion on the broken, downcast, wounded, lost, and weak. God loves his children, but will punishes those who are mean, greedy, and downright pridefully vengeful towards the downcast and weak.

See the balance?


Mystics of Extra Intimacy:

These mystic have this incredibly deep relationship with God. These Mystics are so consumed with God that they do not want to do anything else but spend time in his presence. These strange mystics no body tends to understand. Moses and Daniel were these types of Mystics. They loved to spend time in their lover’s presence.

These Mystics tend to go on these strange quests, or errands, that their lover (God) sends them on. These Mystics feel a close connection to the nature of the relationship of the Bride of Christ. Which, is so much different than just a servant relationship or just a friendship relationship with God. For the bride lays her head on her lover’s chest and hears his heart beat. They come into the mysteries of the heart of God. They understand the layers of relationship that can be found with God.

The Mystic Gift of Intimacy is a oneness gift, a gift of unity. The Mystic since he/she has become one with the Godhead, also can become one at times with his creation. This oneness has is delights and despairs. If a Mystic becomes one with an organization they may unite with its blessings, but with also its defilements. This gift can have huge impacts on the well being of the Mystic. But, the Mystic, if he is connected with the Spirit of Holiness (Holy Spirit) then the Mystic can also influence the corporation towards holiness and purity. For the Altar makes the unholy holy and not the other way around; just as the light easily dispels the darkness.


The Mystic Gift of the Teaching:

The Mystic Gift of Teaching allows a mystic to try to explain the doorways in which to enter into the fullness of a person’s destiny in the Godhead. Sometime other people may not understand the Mystic’s teaching, though another Mystic will fully understand. The Mystic teaching tends to be in pictorial form since some of the angels that speak to them communicate in pictorial forms, which include dreams, word pictures and visions both internal and external.

The Mystic can also teach in technical terms when it is called for, depending on the nature of the audience. Many forms can the message of the Mystic be taught in, to reach the most number of different types of people. This can confuse some people who follow a Mystic because his/her teaching does not come out in the same way. And sometimes the Mystic teaches by acting out the message, see Ezekiel.

The Mystic can be taught in so many ways, that they get primary resources for teaching in many ways.


Conclusion:

Mystics are those who primarily seekers of the heart of God and when they find Him, they love to dwell in the personal relation with the Divine. In dwelling with the Keeper of Secrets, they tend to get those secrets applied to them so that the Mystic can understand the nature of Daddy’s Heart and learn to love Him deeper, as they are so loved by Daddy. When they know that they are so accepted and loved, a Mystic naturally and by instruction loves to share Daddy’s heart with others, so that others can enjoy the freedom and love that is found only in Daddy’s Heart.

The Absolutely Wonderful Translation of the Gospel of Romans for Computer Geeks

Ro 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus the Great Super Computing Server, called to be a marketing associate, network administration, and a computer repair specialist, dedicated solely to the New Operating System of the Great Computer Programmer and Engineer,
Ro 1:2 Which he had promised a head of time by his Official Spokespersons in the Great and Holy Computer Handbook,
Ro 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus, the Great Super Computing Server, our Computer Technician, who was made from the essences of old vacuum tubes according to his hardware;
Ro 1:4 But declared to be the Son of the Great Programmer and Engineer with power, according to the programming of holiness, by the resurrection from the Blue Screen of Death:
Ro 1:5 By whom we have received free programs we did not buy and the position of marketing associates, for the downloading of the New Operating System among all nations, for the sake of his Brand Name:
Ro 1:6 Among whom are you were also emailed so as to be invited to connect to Jesus the Great Super Computing Server:
Ro 1:7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of the Great Programmer, called to be operators of the New Operating System:
Free programs we did not buy to you and peace from the Great Programmer our Father, and the Great Computer Technician Jesus our Great Super Computing Server.
Ro 1:8 First, I thank my Great Programmer through Jesus Great Super Server for you all, that your New Operating System is spoken of throughout the whole world.
Ro 1:9 For the Great Computer Programmer and Designer is my witness, whom I serve with all my programming in the New Operating System of his Son, that without ceasing, I make mention of you always in my emails;
Ro 1:10 Making requests, that I might have a prosperous journey to visit you, by the command of the Great Programmer.
Ro 1:11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual download, to the end your system may be strengthened and even more versatile;
Ro 1:12 That is, that we may have a peer to peer torrent download connection with you through our mutual New Operating System.
Ro 1:13 Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that many times I desired to come unto you, (but had been prevented from doing so,) that I might have some good work among you also, even as I have had among the other noobs.
Ro 1:14 I am debtor both to the computer savvy, and to the computer illiterate; both to the wise and to the foolish.
Ro 1:15 So with all that in me, I am ready to talk about the New Operating System with you that live in Rome.
Ro 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the New Operating System of Great Super Computing Server: for it is the power of the Great Programmer for the stable operating system for every one that trusts; first to those that are computer programmers, and then also to noobs.
Ro 1:17 For in the New Operating System is the approved access code of the Great Programmer is given by trust: as it is written in the Great and Holy Handbook; ‘the authorized shall live by trust.’
Ro 1:18 For the wrath of Great Computer Programmer is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and hacking of men, who oppose the New Operating System by their hacking;
Ro 1:19 Because that which may be known of the Great Computer Programmer has been clearly revealed to them; for the Great Computer Programmer has shown it unto them.
Ro 1:20 For the invisible qualities of the Great Computer Programmer are clearly seen from the creation of this world, being understood by the hardware that he made, and even understood is his limitless power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Ro 1:21 Because that when they knew the Great Computer Programmer, they neither honored him as the Great Computer Programmer and Designer, and neither were they thankful; but became unproductive in their imagination, and their foolish hard drives were darkened.
Ro 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Ro 1:23 And changed the goodness of the incorruptible Great Computer Programmer into destructive programs made to look like to corruptible man, birds, and beasts, and creeping things.
Ro 1:24 Therefore, the Great Computer Programmer and Designer also gave them up to uncleanness of their programming in their own hard drives, to shame their own computers between themselves:
Ro 1:25 Who exchanged the New Operating System of the Great Computer Programmer for a lie, and worshipped and served the programs more than the Creator, who is full of blissful joy for ever. Amen.
Ro 1:26 For this cause the Great Computer Programmer gave them up unto vile programming and pornographic websites: for even their women did change the natural use of their computer modems with each other, which is clearly against nature:
Ro 1:27 And likewise also these men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their programming for one another’s computer towers; men desired other men, doing that which is unholy, and receiving in themselves the penalty of vile viruses for their error, which was their due.
Ro 1:28 Even so, they did not desire to retain the Great Computer Programmer and Engineer in their programming, the Great Computer Programmer, who is the Great Computer Designer and Engineer gave them over to a reprobate processors, to do things which are not to be done;
Ro 1:29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips,
Ro 1:30 slanderers, haters of the Great Programmer, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents and elders;
Ro 1:31 they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless.
Ro 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of the Great Computer Programmer that they which do such things are worthy of the Blue Screen of Death, not only do they do the same things, but they rejoice about them that do the same.
Ro 2:1 You also are without excuse, O’ man, for at whatever point you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you that judge do the same things.
Ro 2:2 But we are sure that the judgment of the Great Computer Programmer is according to truth against them which do such things.
Ro 2:3 And so I ask you this question; that when you judge them which do such things, and yet you do the same, will you escape the judgment of the Great Computer Programmer and Designer?
Ro 2:4 Or do you despises the riches of his goodness, patience, and long suffering love; not knowing that the mercy and goodness of the Great Computer Programmer leads you to downloading the New Operating System?
Ro 2:5 But because of your hardness and impatient hard drive, you store up for yourself wrath on the day of Great Programmers wrath, for that day will reveal the righteous judgments of the Great Computer Programmer;
Ro 2:6 Who will render to every computer according to the deeds of their programs:
Ro 2:7 To them who by endurance in doing good seek glory, honor, immortality, and eternal life:
Ro 2:8 But unto them that are stubborn and do not obey the New Operating System, but obey destructive programs, will get anger and wrath,
Ro 2:9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that does evil, first for computer programmers, and then the noobs;
Ro 2:10 But glory, honor, and peace, to every man that does good; first to the computer programmers, and then also to noobs:
Ro 2:11 For there is no respect of computers with the Great Computer Programmer.
Ro 2:12 For as many as have followed destructive programs without reading the Great and Holy Handbook shall also perish without being judged by the knowledge from the Great and Holy Handbook: and as many as have sinned with the knowledge of the Great and Holy Handbook shall be judged by the Great and Holy Handbook;
Ro 2:13 (For it is not the hearers of the Great and Holy Handbook that are approved by the Great Computer Programmer, but the doers of the Great and Holy Handbook who shall be approved.
Ro 2:14 For when the noobs, which have not the Great and Holy Handbook, do by nature the things contained in the Great and Holy Handbook, these, having not the Great and Holy Handbook, are a law unto themselves:
Ro 2:15 Which show that the words of the Great and Holy Handbook are written on their hard drives, their Boolean program also bearing witness, and their own output data now accusing and/or even defending them
Ro 2:16 On the day when the Great Computer Programmer and Designer shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus the Great Super Computing Server according to my good news of this New Operating System.
Ro 2:17 See the truth, for if you are called a computer programmer, and trust in the Great and Holy Handbook, and make your boast in the Great Computer Programmer and Designer,
Ro 2:18 And know his plan, and approve the things that are most excellent, for you are instructed by the Great and Holy Handbook;
Ro 2:19 And you are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to them which are in darkness,
Ro 2:20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, who has the form of knowledge and truth from the Great and Holy Handbook.
Ro 2:21 Do you then who teach others, do you teach yourself? You that say a computer should not steal hardware and programs, do you steal?
Ro 2:22 You that says that a computer should not hack into a modem that is not his wife’s, do you hack into other women’s modems? You that abhor illegal operating system and servers, do you hack illegal operating systems and servers?
Ro 2:23 Do you that make your boast about the Great and Holy Handbook, do you dishonor the Great Computer Programmer by ignoring the Great and Holy Handbook’s rules?
Ro 2:24 Because of this the Brand Name of the Great Computer Programmer, as it is written, ‘is ridiculed among the noobs because of you’.
Ro 2:25 For a Certificate of being a Circumcised Programmer profits you, if you keep the commands of the Great and Holy Handbook: but if you break the rules of the Great and Holy Handbook, your Certificate of Programming is as much value as if you were not a programmer.
Ro 2:26 Therefore if a noob keeps the approved access code of the Great and Holy Handbook, shall not his lack of certification be acknowledged as a certificate?
Ro 2:27 The one who is not circumcised physically and yet obeys the Great and Holy Handbook will condemn you who, even though you have the Great and Holy Handbook and circumcision, you are a law breaker.
Ro 2:28 For he is not a computer programmer, which is one by a plaque on the wall; neither is certification, which is outward in the physical:
Ro 2:29 But he is a computer programmer, which is one inwardly; and certification is that of the hard drive, in the operating system, and not by the Great and Holy Handbook; his praise is not from other computer towers, but from the Great Computer Programmer.
Ro 3:1 What advantage is there is being a computer programmer? Or what profit is there in certification?
Ro 3:2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the very laws of the Great Computer Programmer and Designer.
Ro 3:3 For what if some did not trust? Shall their lack of trust make the faithfulness of the Great Computer Programmer without effect?
Ro 3:4 The Great Computer Programmer and Designer forbid: yes, let the Great Computer Programmer and Designer be true, but every computer tower a liar; as it is written, ‘That you might be approved in your programs, and prevail when you are judged.’
Ro 3:5 But if our hacking recommends the approved access code of the Great Computer Programmer and Designer, what shall we say? Is the Great Computer Programmer and Designer wrong for judging our computers and throwing them into the trash dump of the Lake of Burning Sulfur? (I am using a human argument.)
Ro 3:6 The Great Computer Programmer and Designer forbid: for then how would the Great Computer Programmer judge the world?
Ro 3:7 For if the truth of the Great Computer Programmer has received more honor by my hacking; why yet am I condemned as a hacker?
Ro 3:8 But rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us hack, so that good programming may come about? There condemnation is deserved.
Ro 3:9 What then? Are we better than they? Not in any way: for we have already acknowledged that both computer programmers and noobs are all under the authority of destructive programming;
Ro 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Ro 3:11 There is none that understands, there is none that seeks after the Great Computer Programmer and Designer.
Ro 3:12 They are all gone astray, they together have become unprofitable; there is none that does good, not even one.
Ro 3:13 Their web cams are open graves; with their keyboards they have been deceitful; the poison of viruses are under their fingertips:
Ro 3:14 Whose emails are full of cursing and bitterness:
Ro 3:15 Their programs are swift to destroy other computer’s hardware:
Ro 3:16 Destruction and misery are their ways:
Ro 3:17 And the way of peace have they not known:
Ro 3:18 There is no fear of the Great Computer Programmer and Designer on their monitors.
Ro 3:19 Now we know that what these revelations say, they say to those who read the Great and Holy Handbook: that every audio speaker may be silenced, and all the world may be found guilty before the Great Computer Programmer.
Ro 3:20 Therefore by the programming of the Great and Holy Handbook there shall no computer be approved in his sight: for by the Great and Holy Handbook is the knowledge of evil.
Ro 3:21 But now an approved access code from the Great Computer Programmer and Designer apart from the Great and Holy Handbook is revealed, being witnessed by the Great and Holy Handbook and its Official Spokespersons;
Ro 3:22 This approved access code of the Great Computer Programmer and Designer which is by trust in Jesus the Great Super Computing Server unto all, and for all them that trust: for there is no difference:
Ro 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the goodness of the Great Computer Programmer;
Ro 3:24 Being pardoned freely by his New Operating System through the restoration that is in the Great Super Computing Server Jesus:
Ro 3:25 Whom the Great Computer Programmer and Designer has set forth to be a payment through trust in his blood, to declare his approved access code for the forgiveness of sins that happened in the past, through the patience of the Great Computer Programmer;
Ro 3:26 he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be good and the one who pardons those who have trust in Jesus
Ro 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By the principles of the Great and Holy Handbook? Or by the principles of creating awesome programs? Nope: but by the principle of trust in the New Operating System.
Ro 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is pardoned by trust without following the rules of the Great and Holy Handbook.
Ro 3:29 Is he the Great Computer Programmer and Designer of the Computer programmers only? Is he not the Great Computer Programmer and Engineer for the Noobs also? Yes, of the Noobs also:
Ro 3:30 Seeing there is one Great Computer Programmer, which shall pardon the certified programmers by trust, and uncertified through this same trust.
Ro 3:31 Do we then make useless the Great and Holy Handbook through trust in his New Operating System? The Great Computer Programmer and Designer forbid: For we commend the Great and Holy Handbook.
Ro 4:1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, in his computer has found?
Ro 4:2 For if Abraham was pardoned by his great computer programs, he has reason to boast; but not before the Great Computer Programmer.
Ro 4:3 For what does the Great and Holy Handbook say? Abraham trusted the Great Computer Programmer and Designer, and he was given the approved access code.
Ro 4:4 Now to him that writes programs and does good by those programs it is not considered to him as a gift, but as a working wage.
Ro 4:5 But to him that does not write programs, but trusts him that pardons hackers, his trust gives him access to the approved access code.
Ro 4:6 Even as David also describes the joyful bliss of a man, unto whom the Great Computer Programmer gives an approved access code without work,
Ro 4:7 Saying, blissfully full of joy are they whose hackings are forgiven, and whose destructive programs are erased from the memory of the Great Server.
Ro 4:8 Joyfully and fun of bliss is the man to whom the Great Technician will not file a lawsuit against.
Ro 4:9 Does this bliss then come only upon the computer programmers or upon the non-programmers also? For it was by trust in the Great Computer Programmer that Abraham got the approved access code.
Ro 4:10 How was it then given? Was it given when he was certified as a programmer or before? Not after he went through training for the certificate, but before.
Ro 4:11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a plaque of the approved access code of the faith to which he had not yet been certified: that he might be the father of all them that trust, though they be not be certified circumcision; that the approved access code might be downloaded to them also:
Ro 4:12 And he is the father of the certified, to them who are not of the certification only, but of those who also surf the web in the steps of that trust that our father Abraham had, while he was still uncertified.
Ro 4:13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not given to Abraham or to his child through the Great and Holy Handbook, but through faith in the Great Programmers promise.
Ro 4:14 For if they which follow the Great and Holy Handbook be heirs, trust in the Great Programmer promise of the New Operating System is made useless, and his promise of the gift is made of no effect:
Ro 4:15 Because the Great and Holy Handbook reveals the wrath of the Great Computer Programmer: but where there is no law, there is no transgression.
Ro 4:16 Therefore it is by trust, that it might be a free download; so that the promise might be guaranteed to all his children; not only to those who are of the Great and Holy Handbook, but also to them which are of the trust of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
Ro 4:17 (As it is written, I have made you a father of many nations,) in him whom he trusted, even the Great Computer Programmer and Designer, who restores them from the Blue Screen of Death, and calls previous hackers as people that are now approved by him.
Ro 4:18 Abraham against hope trusted, so that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken by the Great Computer Programmer, ‘So shall your child be.’
Ro 4:19 And being not weak in his trust, he did not even considered his own hardware, which was dead, for his hardware was about a hundred years old, and neither did he consider the deadness of Sarah's modem:
Ro 4:20 His monitor did not pixilize through lack of trust, while viewing the vision of the Great Computer Programmer’s promise; but he was strong in faith, giving glory to the Great Computer Programmer and Designer;
Ro 4:21 And being fully persuaded in what the Great Computer Programmer had promised, and that the Great Computer Programmer was also able to perform that which he had promised.
Ro 4:22 Therefore he was given the approved access code.
Ro 4:23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, about what was given to him;
Ro 4:24 But for us also, to whom it shall receive the downloaded of the approved access code, if we trust in him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the Blue Screen of Death;
Ro 4:25 Who was given over to the Blue Screen of Death because of our faulty and corrupt programming, and was restored again for our pardon.
Ro 5:1 Therefore being pardoned by trust, we have peace with the Great Computer Programmer and Designer through our Lord Jesus, the Great Super Server:
Ro 5:2 By whom we also have access by this trust into this New Operating System wherein we operate, and blissfully rejoice in hope of the goodness of the Great Computer Programmer and Designer.
Ro 5:3 And not only so, but we glory in our struggles also: knowing that those struggles works patience;
Ro 5:4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
Ro 5:5 And hope does not makes us ashamed; because the love of the Great Computer Programmer and Designer is downloaded in our hard drives by the Holy Spirit which is given unto us.
Ro 5:6 At the proper time, when we were yet without processing power, the Great Super Computing Server shutdown for the ungodly.
Ro 5:7 Scarcely will a man let his computer be destroyed for man who has the approved access code: yet someone might allow their hardware to crash for a good man.
Ro 5:8 But the Great Computer Programmer and Designer commends his love toward us, in that, while we were yet hackers, the Great Super Computing Server suffered the Blue Screen of Death for us.
Ro 5:9 Much more then, being now pardoned by his blood, we shall be saved from God’s wrath through him.
Ro 5:10 For if, when we were his enemies, we were restored to friendship with Great Computer Programmer by the death of his Son, how much more being restored, that we shall be made whole by his life.
Ro 5:11 Not only so, but we also rejoice in the Great Computer Programmer and Designer through our Lord Jesus, the Great Super Server, by whom we have now received the forgiveness of wrongs.
Ro 5:12 Wherefore by one man a virus entered into the world wide web, and the Blue Screen of Death by that virus; and so the Blue Screen of Death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Ro 5:13 For before the Great and Holy Handbook was written the virus of the Blue Screen of Death was in the world: but sin is not punished when there is no law.
Ro 5:14 Nevertheless the Blue Screen of Death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the nature of Adam's transgression, who is the pattern of him that was to come.
Ro 5:15 But sin is not like the free gift. For if by the sin of one man, many died, how much more so will the gift of the Great Computer Programmer, and the gift of a New Operating System which came through the one computer, Jesus the Great Super Computing Server, has abounded unto many.
Ro 5:16 the gift is not like the virus, for the virus of one man lead to death and the Trash Dump of the Lake of Fire, but the free gift followed many viruses and brought pardon.
Ro 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by the one; how much more will they which receive the abundance of the New Operating System and the gift of the approved access code shall have authority in this life by Jesus the Great Super Computing Server.
Ro 5:18 Therefore by the sin of one computer was the shutting down of all computers; by that same principle was the only approved access code of the one as a free gift came upon all men, and so we were pardoned and given new life, with a new operating system and new hardware.
Ro 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made corrupt, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
Ro 5:20 Moreover the Great and Holy Handbook was written so that the knowledge of what is destructive programming might abound. But where the knowledge of destructive programming abounded, grace abounded all the more:
Ro 5:21 That as destructive programming had authority to cause the Blue Screen of Death, even so by the same principle, grace might have authority through the approved access code to bring eternal life by Jesus the Great Super Computing Server our Computer Technician.
Ro 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in create destructive programs, so that grace may abound?
Ro 6:2 the Great Computer Programmer forbid. How shall we, that are dead to destructive programming, operate in it any longer?
Ro 6:3 Or don’t you know, that we computers who where immersed into the baptismal water of Jesus the Great Super Computing Server were immersed into his death?
Ro 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: so that just like the Great Super Server was raised up from the Blue Screen of Death by the glory of the Father, we also should walk in newness of programming.
Ro 6:5 For if we have been baptized together with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also be raise in the likeness of his resurrection:
Ro 6:6 Knowing this, that our old computer programming was erased in crucifixion with him, that our computers programming of sin might be destroyed, therefore we should not serve sin.
Ro 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Ro 6:8 Now if we are dead with the Great Super Computing Server, we believe that we shall also live with him:
Ro 6:9 Knowing that the Great Super Computing Server was raised from the dead he cannot die again; for the Blue Screen of Death no longer has power over him.
Ro 6:10 For in his death, he died to bad programming once and for all: but the life he lives he live under the New Operating System of the Great Computer Programmer.
Ro 6:11 Likewise consider your computer to be inoperable to destructive programming, but connected to the Great Computer Programmer through Jesus the Great Super Computing Server our Lord.
Ro 6:12 Let not bad programming therefore have authority in your mortal computer towers, that you should obey their lustful programs.
Ro 6:13 Neither offer your internal hardware as instruments of hacking by destructive programmers: but yield your computers unto the Great Computer Programmer, as those that are alive from the dead, and your parts as instruments with the approved access code from the Great Computer Programmer.
Ro 6:14 For destructive programming shall not have control over your operating system: for you are not under the Great and Holy Handbook, but under the New Operating System.
Ro 6:15 What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the Great and Holy Handbook, but under grace? The Great Computer Programmer and Designer forbid.
Ro 6:16 Don’t you know, that to whom you yield your programming as recipients of downloads from web sites, you are at the mercy of those whom you download from; whether the downloads are of destructive programming that causes the Blue Screen of Death, or to the downloads through the approved access code?
Ro 6:17 But the Great Computer Programmer and Designer be thanked, that you were at the mercy of sin, but you have obeyed from your hard drive the form of programming which was downloaded to you.
Ro 6:18 Being then made free from destructive programming, you became the operators of the New Operating System.
Ro 6:19 I speak after the logic of men because of the weakness of your processors: for as you once yielded your members servants to destructive programming, uncleanness, and sin; even so now offer your hardware as servants to the approved Operating System which leads to holiness.
Ro 6:20 For when you were the servants of sin, you were free from the downloading authority of the approved access code.
Ro 6:21 What benefit had you in that destructive programs that you are now ashamed of? For the end of those things is the Blue Screen of Death.
Ro 6:22 But now being made free from destructive programming, and become servants to the Great Computer Programmer and Designer, you have fruit that produces holiness and everlasting life.
Ro 6:23 For the wages of destructive actions is death; but the gift of the Great Computer Programmer and Designer is eternal life through Jesus the Great Super Computing Server our Lord.
Ro 7:1 Don’t you know, brothers, (for I speak to them that know the Great and Holy Handbook,) how that the Great and Holy Handbook has authority over a computer as long as it lives?
Ro 7:2 For the woman’s modem which has is connected to her husband’s computer is bound by the Great and Holy Handbook to her husband so long as he lives; but if the husband’s computer dies, she is loosed from the law towards her husband.
Ro 7:3 So then if, while her husband lives, she connects to another man’s computer, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress (the seventh law of the Great and Holy Handbook), though she be married to another man.
Ro 7:4 Wherefore, my brothers, you also are become dead to the Great and Holy Handbook by the hardware of the Great Super Computing Server; that you should be connected to the Great Server, even to Jesus the Great Super Computing Server who was raised from the Blue Screen of Death, that we should produce fruit for the Great Computer Programmer and Designer.
Ro 7:5 For when we were in the old programming, the programs of sins, which were revealed by the Great and Holy Handbook, did work in our hardware to bring forth fruit unto death.
Ro 7:6 But now we are delivered from the Great and Holy Handbook, by dying to it, for it had control over us; that we should serve in newness of New Operating System, and not in the old way of trying to type in each program one line at a time through the Great and Holy Handbook information.
Ro 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the Great and Holy Handbook sin? The Great Computer Programmer and Designer forbid. No, for I would not have known what sin was except through the Great and Holy Handbook: for I would not have known what coveting (the tenth law of the Ten Commandments of the Great and Holy Handbook) other people’s hardware, programs, and modem was, except the Great and Holy Handbook had said, ‘You shall not covet.’
Ro 7:8 But my destructive programming taking the opportunity afforded by the data, caused in me all manner of coveting, for without the Great and Holy Handbook destructive programming is dead.
Ro 7:9 For I was alive without the Great and Holy Handbook once: but when the data came, the destructive programming went after those bad downloads and I died.
Ro 7:10 And the commandment, which was meant to bring life, I found brought death.
Ro 7:11 For destructive programs taking the opportunity of the data of those destructive web sites, found in the commandments, deceived me, and by them cause in me the Blue Screen of Death.
Ro 7:12 Therefore the Great and Holy Handbook is holy, and the commandment is holy, just, and good.
Ro 7:13 Then did that which was good cause death in me? The Great Computer Programmer and Designer forbid. But sin, that it might be known as sin, worked death in me by that which was good; so that destructive programming revealed by the rules against it might become exceeding sinful.
Ro 7:14 For we know that the Great and Holy Handbook is spiritual: but I am carnal, controlled by destructive programming.
Ro 7:15 For I do not understand my actions, for that which I want to do I don’t do: and what I don’t want to do, that I do.
Ro 7:16 If then, I do that which I do not want tot do, I acknowledge that the Great and Holy Handbook is good.
Ro 7:17 Now then it is no long I that do it, but the destructive programs that dwell in me.
Ro 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my hardware,) dwells no good thing: for the desire to do good is present in me; but how to perform that which is good I can’t seem to access.
Ro 7:19 For the good that I would do, I do not: but the evil which I do not want to do, that I do.
Ro 7:20 Now if I do that which I do not want to do, it is no more I that do it, but is the destructive programming that dwells in me.
Ro 7:21 So I find this principle at work, that when I want to do good, evil is present with me.
Ro 7:22 For I delight in the Great and Holy Handbook of the Great Computer Programmer after my inward hardware:
Ro 7:23 But I see another principle at work in my operating system, warring against the Great and Holy Handbook in my processor, and it brings me into captivity to the principle of destructive programming, which is in my hardware.
Ro 7:24 O what a wretched computer that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
Ro 7:25 I thank the Great Computer Programmer and Designer through Jesus the Great Super Computing Server our Lord. So then with my processor I serve the Great and Holy Handbook of the Great Computer Programmer and Designer; but with hardware the destructive programming that was revealed by the Great and Holy Handbook.
Ro 8:1 Therefore there is now no condemnation towards them which are in the Great Super Computing Server Jesus, who operate not after the old programming, but after the New Operating System.
Ro 8:2 For the principle of the New Operating System of life in the Great Super Computing Server Jesus has made me free from the Great and Holy Handbook of the data of sin and death.
Ro 8:3 For what the Great and Holy Handbook could not do, in that it was weakened through the old destructive programming, the Great Computer Programmer and Designer did by sending his own Son in the likeness of destructive programs, and condemned destructive programs in hardware:
Ro 8:4 That the approved access code of the Great and Holy Handbook might be revealed in us, who walk not after the destructive programs, but after the New Operating System.
Ro 8:5 For they that pursue after destructive programs have in their processors the data of those destructive programs; but they that are after the New Operating System the data of the New Operating System.
Ro 8:6 For to be filled with destructive programs in the processor is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Ro 8:7 Because the destructive processor is hatred towards the Great Computer Programmer, and it is not surrendered to the Great Computer Programmer’s original Great and Holy Handbook and neither can do so.
Ro 8:8 So then they that are into destructive programs cannot please the Great Computer Programmer.
Ro 8:9 But you are not in the destructive programs, but in the New Operating System, that is if the Spirit of the Great Computer Programmer and Designer dwell in you. Now if any man has not the New Operating System of the Great Super Computing Server, he does not belong to the Great Super Computing Server.
Ro 8:10 And if the Great Super Computing Server’s access be in you, your old operating system is dead because of destructive programming; but the New Operating System is working because of the approved access code.
Ro 8:11 But if the New Operating System of him that raised up Jesus from the Blue Screen of Death dwells in you, he that raised up the Great Super Server from the dead shall also strengthen your hardware by his New Operating System that dwells in you.
Ro 8:12 Therefore, brothers, we are in debt, not to the destructive program, to live after them.
Ro 8:13 For if you pursue after the destructive programs, you shall die: but if you through the New Operating System recycle bin the works of the destructive programs, you shall live.
Ro 8:14 For as many as are led by the New Operating System of the Great Computer Programmer and Designer, they are the sons of the Great Computer Programmer.
Ro 8:15 For you have not received the New Operating System so that you will be in bondage again to fear; but you have received the New Operating System of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Daddy.
Ro 8:16 The New Operating System itself bears witness with our operating system, that we are the children of the Great Computer Programmer:
Ro 8:17 And if we are his children, then we are heirs; heirs of the Great Computer Programmer and Designer, and co-heirs with the Great Super Computing Server; that is if we suffer with him, that we may be also honored together with him.
Ro 8:18 For I consider that our sufferings in this present age is not worthy to be compared with the goodness which shall be revealed in us.
Ro 8:19 For the desire of the created world waits for the sons of the Great Computer Programmer to be revealed.
Ro 8:20 For the created world was made subject to suffering, not willingly, but by the purposes of him who in hope had subjected it,
Ro 8:21 Because the created world itself will also be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of the Great Computer Programmer and Designer.
Ro 8:22 For we know that the whole creation together groans and travails in pain until now.
Ro 8:23 And not only they, but we ourselves also groan, we who have the first fruits of the New Operating System, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption, which is the buying back of our computer case.
Ro 8:24 For we are saved by this hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopes for what he already has?
Ro 8:25 But if we hope for that we have not; then we wait for it patiently.
Ro 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helps us in our infirmities: for we know not what we should ask for, as we should: but the Spirit itself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Ro 8:27 And he that searches our hard drives knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he sends emails for the benefit of the saints according to plan of the Great Computer Programmer.
Ro 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love the Great Computer Programmer and Designer, to them who are the emailed according to his purpose.
Ro 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestined to be changed into the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn, having the place of honor, among many brothers.
Ro 8:30 Moreover those he predestined, he also emailed: and those he emailed, he also pardoned: and those he pardoned, he also honored.
Ro 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If the Great Computer Programmer and Designer be for us, who can be against us?
Ro 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, will he not, with him, also freely give us all things?
Ro 8:33 Who shall lay any charge against the elect of Great Computer Programmer? It is the Great Computer Programmer that pardons.
Ro 8:34 Who is he that condemns? It is the Great Super Computing Server that died, and who has risen again, who is even at the right hand of the Great Computer Programmer and Designer, who also makes emails for us.
Ro 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of the Great Super Computing Server? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Ro 8:36 As it is written, for your sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Ro 8:37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
Ro 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Ro 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of the Great Computer Programmer, which is in the Great Super Computing Server Jesus our Lord.
Ro 9:1 I say the truth in the Great Super Computing Server, I lie not, my Boolean program also bears me witness in the Holy Spirit,
Ro 9:2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my hard drive.
Ro 9:3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from the Great Super Computing Server for my brothers, my kinsmen according to their hardware:
Ro 9:4 Who are the Israelites; theirs is the adoption as sons, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the Great and Holy Handbook, the rituals of the Great Computer Programmer, and the promises;
Ro 9:5 From whom come the patriarchs, and from whom according to their hardware came the Great Super Computing Server, who is God over all, who is full of blissful joy for ever. Amen.
Ro 9:6 It is not as though the word of the Great Computer has failed towards Israel; For not all who are called Israelites, are of Israel:
Ro 9:7 For not all who are the seed of Abraham, are Abraham’s children: but, In Isaac (He Laughs) shall your children be acknowledged.
Ro 9:8 For it is not the children according to the hardware, that are of the children of the Great Computer Programmer: but the children of the New Operating System that are acknowledged as his children.
Ro 9:9 For this is how the word of promise was spoken, At that time will I return, and Sarah shall have a son.
Ro 9:10 And not only this; but before Rebecca’s children had been conceived
Ro 9:11 before they had been born, or had done any good or evil, so that the Great Computer Programmer’s purpose of election might stand, not of works, but of him that emails;)
Ro 9:12 It was said unto her, ‘the elder shall serve the younger.’
Ro 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Ro 9:14 What shall we say then? Is there bad programming in the Great Computer Programmer? The Great Computer Programmer forbid.
Ro 9:15 For he said to Moses, ‘I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.’
Ro 9:16 So then it is not by him that desires, nor of him that works, but by the will of the Great Computer Programmer who shows mercy.
Ro 9:17 For it is written in the Great and Holy Handbook, he said unto Pharaoh, ‘Even for this purpose have I raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.’
Ro 9:18 Therefore has he mercy on whom he wills, and hardens whomever he wills.
Ro 9:19 Will you then say unto me, Why does he still find fault in us? For who has resisted his will?
Ro 9:20 O’ man, who are you that complains against the Great Computer Programmer? Shall the object formed by him say to him that formed it, ‘Why have you made me like this?’
Ro 9:21 Has not the potter power over the clay, and of the same lump to make one vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?
Ro 9:22 What if the Great Computer Programmer and Designer, desiring to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of his wrath made for destruction:
Ro 9:23 So that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared for glory,
Ro 9:24 Even us, whom he has emailed, not only from among the ranks of computer programmers, but also of the noobs.
Ro 9:25 As he said also in Hosea, ‘I will call them my people, which were not my people; and will call then my beloved, which were not called my beloved.’
Ro 9:26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, ‘You are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.’
Ro 9:27 Isaiah also cried out concerning Israel, ‘Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant shall be saved:’
Ro 9:28 And he will do that work quickly on the earth.
Ro 9:29 And as Isaiah said before, ‘Except the Lord Almighty had left us some children, we would had been as Sodom and Gomorrah.
Ro 9:30 What shall we say then? That the noobs, who followed not after right standing with the Great Computer Programmer have attained the approved access code, even the approved access code which is of trust.
Ro 9:31 But Israel, which followed after the Great and Holy Handbook for the approved access code, has not attained the approved access code through the Great and Holy Handbook.
Ro 9:32 Why? Because they sought it not by trust, but as it were by working the programs of the Great and Holy Handbook. For they stumbled on the stumbling stone;
Ro 9:33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offence: yet whosoever trusts in him shall not be ashamed.
Ro 10:1 Brothers, my heart's desire and emails to the Great Computer Programmer is so that Israel might be saved.
Ro 10:2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for the Great Computer Programmer, but not according to the data.
Ro 10:3 For they being ignorant of the Great Computer Programmer's approved access code, and going about to establish their own approved access code, have not submitted themselves unto the approved access code of the Great Computer Programmer and Designer.
Ro 10:4 For the Great Super Computing Server is the end of the Great and Holy Handbook for access to the approved access code which is given to every one that trusts.
Ro 10:5 For Moses describes the way of the Great and Holy Handbook, ‘the man which does those the things of the Holy Handbook shall live by the data in it.’
Ro 10:6 But the approved access code which is of trust says it this way, ‘Say not in your heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring the Great Super Computing Server down:)
Ro 10:7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up the Great Super Computing Server again from the Blue Screen of Death.)
Ro 10:8 But what does it say? The New Operating System is near you, even in your mouth, and in your hard drive: that is the New Operating System of trust which we proclaim;
Ro 10:9 That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.
Ro 10:10 For with the heart man believes unto right standing with God; and with your mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Ro 10:11 For the Great and Holy Handbook says, ‘Whosoever trusts in him shall never be put to shame.’
Ro 10:12 For there is no difference between the computer programmer and the noob: for the same Lord is Lord over all and richly blesses all that email him.
Ro 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Ro 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?
Ro 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? As it is written, ‘how beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad news of good things!’
Ro 10:16 But they have not obeyed the good news. For Isaiah said, Lord, who has believed our report?
Ro 10:17 So then, trust comes by hearing, and hearing by the words of the Great Computer Programmer.
Ro 10:18 But I say, have they not heard? Yes they have, for our word went into all the earth; our words went unto the ends of the world.
Ro 10:19 But I ask, did not Israel know? Moses said, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are not people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
Ro 10:20 But Isaiah was very bold, and said, ‘I was found by them that did not surf the web looking for me; I was made known to them that did not search after me.
Ro 10:21 But to Israel he said, ‘All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and stiff necked group of programmers.’
Ro 11:1 I say then, has the Great Computer Programmer cast away his people? The Great Computer Programmer and Designer forbid. For I also am a programmer, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Ro 11:2 The Great Computer Programmer and Designer has not cast away his people which he foreknew. Don’t you know what the Great and Holy Handbook said of Elijah, how he sent emails to the Great Computer Programmer and Designer against Israel, saying,
Ro 11:3 Lord, they have killed your prophets, and tore down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
Ro 11:4 But what did the Great Computer Programmer email unto him? ‘I have reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed their knee to Baal.’
Ro 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant saved by the election of grace.
Ro 11:6 And if it is by a gift we did not earn, then is it no longer by works: otherwise grace is no longer the meaning for grace. But if it be of works, then is it not by grace: and so conversely the term work would no longer mean work.
Ro 11:7 What then? Has Israel not obtained that which he sought after; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded
Ro 11:8 As it is written, the Great Computer Programmer has given them over to a program of slumber, that their eyes should not see, and their ears should not hear; unto this day.
Ro 11:9 And David said, ‘Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a payback to them:
Ro 11:10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and their backs bent over forever.’
Ro 11:11 I say then, have they stumbled so far that they should fall? The Great Computer Programmer forbid: but through their stumbling salvation has come to the noobs, to provoke the Israel to jealousy.
Ro 11:12 Now if their stumbling means the riches to the world, and the weakening of the Israelites, and so great wealth to the noobs; how much more will their return mean?
Ro 11:13 For I speak to you noobs, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the noobs, therefore I make much of my position and office:
Ro 11:14 So that by any means I may provoke to them to jealousy, and so might save some of them.
Ro 11:15 For if the casting away of the Israelites be the restoration of the rest of the world, what shall the receiving of them again be, but life from the dead?
Ro 11:16 For if the firstfruits be holy, the all the fruit is holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
Ro 11:17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them partaker of the root’s sap to the olive tree;
Ro 11:18 Boast not over those branches. But remember that you do not uphold the root, but the root upholds you.
Ro 11:19 Will you then say, the branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in?
Ro 11:20 Granted; but because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by trust in the free gift, so be not high-minded, but fear:
Ro 11:21 For if the Great Computer Programmer and Designer spared not the natural branches, take heed for he will not spare you.
Ro 11:22 See then the goodness and severity of the Great Computer Programmer: on them which fell he had severity; but toward you, goodness; if you continue in goodness: otherwise you also shall be cut off.
Ro 11:23 And they also, if they remain not in unbelief, they shall be grafted in: for the Great Computer Programmer and Designer is able to graft them in again.
Ro 11:24 For if you were cut out of a wild olive tree, and were grafted in, contrary to the nature of a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
Ro 11:25 For I would not have you brothers be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own conceitedness; that blindness, in part, has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Noobs has come in.
Ro 11:26 And so then all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, ‘There shall come out of Zion a Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Ro 11:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.’
Ro 11:28 As concerning the New Operating System, they are enemies for your sakes: but as concerning election, they are beloved for the sake of the ancient patriarchs.
Ro 11:29 For the gifts and calling of the Great Computer Programmer and Designer are without repentance.
Ro 11:30 For like you also, in times past have not believed the Great Computer Programmer, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
Ro 11:31 Even so they also now have not believed, that they also may obtain mercy, by the same principle that you have received mercy.
Ro 11:32 For the Great Computer Programmer and Designer has given all people over to unbelief, that he might have mercy upon us all.
Ro 11:33 O’ the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of the Great Computer Programmer and Designer! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
Ro 11:34 For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?
Ro 11:35 Or who has first given to the Great Computer Programmer, that he should be repaid to him?
Ro 11:36 For, of him, through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
Ro 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of the Great Computer Programmer and Designer, that you present your computers as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto the Great Computer Programmer and Designer, which is your reasonable service.
Ro 12:2 And be not conformed to the programming of this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your processor, that you may prove what is that the good, acceptable, and perfect gospel of the Great Computer Programmer.
Ro 12:3 For I say to every man that is among you, by the grace given to me, do not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think; but to think of yourselves with sober judgment, according to the measure of trust the Great Computer Programmer and Designer has given to each man.
Ro 12:4 For, are many part in one Mega Computer System, yet all members do not have the same function:
Ro 12:5 So we, being many, are one computer in the Great Super Computing Server, and every one has a function for others.
Ro 12:6 Having then been given gifts of function according to the grace that we did not earn; whether it is being a Spokesperson of truth, let us therefore prophesy according to the proportion of trust in the emails sent to us;
Ro 12:7 If a man’s gift is serving, let him serve: or if it is teaching, let him teach;
Ro 12:8 Or if the gift is given to a man, so that he can spurs other to higher dedication, then let him exhort others: and he that is given the gift of giving, let him do it with simplicity; let him that organizes do it with diligence; and let him that is given the gift of showing mercy let him do it with joyful bliss.
Ro 12:9 Let love be shown with sincerity. Hate that which is evil; keep that which is good.
Ro 12:10 Be affectionately kind one to another in brotherly love with honor; honoring one another about yourself;
Ro 12:11 Never lacking zeal, but with passion in the spirit; serving the Lord;
Ro 12:12 Rejoicing in hope; be patient in tough times; continuing to go instantly into prayer;
Ro 12:13 Give to the needs of saints; being willing to letting other into your house.
Ro 12:14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
Ro 12:15 Rejoice with them that do blissfully rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
Ro 12:16 Be of the same mind towards each other. Be not a snooty conceited executive, but be friends with men of meager means. Be not conceited in your own fast and wise processors.
Ro 12:17 Repay to no man evil for evil. Be honest in the sight of all men.
Ro 12:18 If it be possible, as much as it is in you, live at peace with all men.
Ro 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place for the Great Programmer’s wrath: for it is written, ‘Vengeance is mine; I will repay,’ said the Lord.
Ro 12:20 Therefore, if your enemy is hunger, feed him; if he thirsty, give him something to drink: for in so doing you shall download good and godly fire into his processor.
Ro 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Ro 13:1 Let every computer be subject to those in authority. For there is no control mechanisms, except that which is created by the Great Computer Programmer and Designer:
Ro 13:2 Whosoever therefore resists the control mechanisms, resists the authority of the Great Computer Programmer and Designer: and they that resist shall receive punishment.
Ro 13:3 For, rulers are not a terror to those who do good works, but to those who do evil. Do you want to be free from those in authority? Then do that which is good, and then you shall have praise from that authority:
Ro 13:4 For he is the servant of the Great Computer Programmer to do you good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid; for he does not hold the sword for no reason: for he is the servant of the Great Computer Programmer, and executes punishment upon them that do evil.
Ro 13:5 Therefore, you must obey, not only because of fear of his wrath, but also for your Boolean program’s (conscience’s) sake.
Ro 13:6 For this reason you pay taxes: for they are the Great Computer Programmer’s servants, spending their time to do his work.
Ro 13:7 Therefore, give to all that is their due: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.
Ro 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but only the continuing debt of love for one another: for he that loves another has fulfilled the Great and Holy Handbook.
Ro 13:9 For this, You shall not commit adultery (the seventh law of the Ten Commandments), You shall not kill (the sixth law of the Ten Commandments), You shall not steal (the eighth law of the Ten Commandments), You shall not bear false witness (the ninth law of the Ten Commandments), You shall not covet (the tenth law of the Ten Commandments); and if there be any other commandment in the Great and Holy Handbook, it is summarized in this saying, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
Ro 13:10 Love works no wrong to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfillment of the Great and Holy Handbook.
Ro 13:11 And knowing the time, that now it is high time for us to awake up: for now is our salvation nearer than when we first believed.
Ro 13:12 it is very late in the night and the morning is at hand: therefore let us cast off the deeds of darkness, and let us put on the protection of the New Operating System of light.
Ro 13:13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in orgies and drunkenness, nor in fornicating with others and lust, nor in strife and envying.
Ro 13:14 But connect to the Lord Jesus the Great Super Computing Server, and make not provision for the old programming, to fulfill its lusts.
Ro 14:1 Accept him whose trust is weak without quarreling with him.
Ro 14:2 For one trusts that he can eat all things: another, whose is weak, eats only herbs.
Ro 14:3 Let not him that eat meat look down on him that does not eat meat; and let not him which eats not meat judge him that eats: for the Great Computer Programmer and Designer has accepted you both.
Ro 14:4 Who are you that judge another man's servant? To his own master he stands or falls, for the Great Computer Programmer and Designer is able to make him stand.
Ro 14:5 One man regards one day more holy than another: another man regards every day alike. Let each man be fully persuaded in his own processor.
Ro 14:6 He that regards the day, regards it unto the Lord; and he that regards not a specific day, to the Lord he does not regard it as special. He that eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives the Great Computer Programmer thanks; and he that eats not, for the Lord he eats not, and gives the Great Computer Programmer thanks.
Ro 14:7 For none of us lives to himself alone, and no man dies to himself alone.
Ro 14:8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die in the Lord: therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's.
Ro 14:9 To this end the Great Super Computing Server died, was resurrected, and lives, so that he might be both the Lord of the dead and the living.
Ro 14:10 But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of the Great Super Computing Server.
Ro 14:11 For it is written, ‘As I live, said the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall disclose their data and deeds to the Great Computer Programmer.’
Ro 14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
Ro 14:13 Therefore, let us not judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that when we judge our brother on these matters we may cause our brothers to disconnect from the Great Programmer because of guilt, shame, and/or fear.
Ro 14:14 I know and am fully persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean in itself: but to him that regards any thing as unclean, to him it is unclean.
Ro 14:15 But if your brother be grieved with your eating of meat, you are not walking in love. So, do not destroy your brother because of meat, for whom the Great Super Server died.
Ro 14:16 But, inversely let not what you consider good to be spoken of as evil:
Ro 14:17 For the kingdom of the Great Computer Programmer and Designer is not about food and drink; but about the approved access code, peace, and blissful joy in the Holy Spirit.
Ro 14:18 For he that serves the Great Super Computing Server in this way is accepted by the Great Computer Programmer, and approved of men.
Ro 14:19 Let us therefore search after the things which lead to peace and that which strengthen each another.
Ro 14:20 For the sake of meat do not destroy the work of the Great Computer Programmer, for all things indeed are clean; but it is wrong for that man to eat and causes his brother to disconnect from the Great Server.
Ro 14:21 It is not good to eat meat, or to drink wine, or do anything whereby your brother stumbles, is offended, or is made weak.
Ro 14:22 Have you faith? Therefore, keep it between yourself and the Great Computer Programmer. Full of joyful bliss is he that condemns not himself in that thing which he approves.
Ro 14:23 And he that doubts disconnects from the Great Server if he eat, because his eating is not from faith: for whatever is not of faith is sin.
Ro 15:1 We then that are strong ought to bear the struggles of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
Ro 15:2 Let every one of us please his neighbor for his strengthening.
Ro 15:3 For even the Great Super Computing Server pleased not himself; but, as it is written, the insults of them that insulted you fell on me.
Ro 15:4 For whatever was written in the past was written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the Great and Holy Handbook might have hope.
Ro 15:5 Now the Great Computer Programmer of patience and peace grant you to have the same programming attitude toward each another according to the Great Super Computing Server Jesus:
Ro 15:6 That you may with one processor and one sound system glorify the Great Programmer, who is the Father of our Lord Jesus the Great Super Computing Server.
Ro 15:7 Therefore, accept one another as the Great Super Computing Server has also accepted you into the glory of the Great Programmer.
Ro 15:8 Now I say that Jesus the Great Super Server was a servant to the Jews about the truth of New Operating System of the Great Computer Programmer, to confirm to them the promises made to the ancient patriarchs:
Ro 15:9 And so that the Noobs might glorify the Great Computer Programmer and Designer for his mercy; as it is written, ‘For this cause I will confess to you among the Noobs, and sing unto your name.’
Ro 15:10 And again he said, ‘Rejoice, you Noobs, with his people. ‘
Ro 15:11 And again, ‘Praise the Lord, all you Noobs; and sing to him all you people.’
Ro 15:12 And again, Isaiah said, ‘There shall be a shoot that grows out of the root Jesse, and he shall rise to have authority over the Noobs; in him shall all the Noobs trust.’
Ro 15:13 Now may the Great Computer Programmer of hope fill you with the full measure of his blissful joy and the peace that comes from trust, that you may abound with hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Ro 15:14 I am confident in you, my brothers, that you are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge of the New Operating System, so that you are able to teach one another.
Ro 15:15 Nevertheless, brothers, I have written boldly to you about some points, as to remind you of them again, through the grace that is given to me by Great Computer Programmer,
Ro 15:16 That I should be the servant of Jesus the Great Super Server to the Noobs, ministering the good news of the New Operating System of the Great Computer Programmer, that the service of the Noobs might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
Ro 15:17 therefore I glory through Jesus the Great Super Computing Server in those things which pertain to the Great Computer Programmer.
Ro 15:18 For I will dare not speak of any words or deeds which the Great Super Computing Server has not worked through me, that have made the Noobs connect to the Great Super Computing Server.
Ro 15:19 Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of the Great Computer Programmer and Designer; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of the New Operating System of the Great Super Computing Server.
Ro 15:20 Yea, so have I strived to proclaim the gospel, where the Great Super Computing Server was not known, lest I should build upon another man's work:
Ro 15:21 But as it is written, ‘To whom the Great Computer Programmer was not spoken to, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.’
Ro 15:22 Because of this work, I have been hindered from coming to you.
Ro 15:23 But now having no more work in these parts, and having a great desire for many years to come unto you;
Ro 15:24 for when I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I desire to see you in my travels, and to be helped by you, after I first enjoy your company.
Ro 15:25 But now I go unto Jerusalem to serve the saints there.
Ro 15:26 For it has pleased them in Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contributions for the poor saints who live in Jerusalem.
Ro 15:27 It has pleased them very much to contribute to their need; for they are in their debt; for if the Noobs have been made partakers of their spiritual things, it is their duty is also to serve them with in material things.
Ro 15:28 When I have performed this task, and have delivered to them this fruit, I will come by way of Spain to see you.
Ro 15:29 And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fullness of the blissful joy of the gospel of the New Operating System of the Great Super Computing Server.
Ro 15:30 Now I beseech you, brothers, for the Great Super Computing Server, the Lord Jesus' sake, and by the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your emails to the Great Computer Programmer for me;
Ro 15:31 That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service, which I have for Jerusalem, may be accepted by the saints;
Ro 15:32 That I may come unto you in blissful joy by the will of the Great Computer Programmer and Designer, so that you may be refreshed.
Ro 15:33 Now the Great Computer Programmer and Designer of peace be with you all. Amen.
Ro 16:1 I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea;
Ro 16:2 That you receive her in the Lord, as is proper for the saints, and that you assist her in what ever business she has need of you: for she has been a help and nurturer to many, and to myself also.
Ro 16:3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in the Great Super Computing Server Jesus:
Ro 16:4 Who have laid down their own necks for me: unto whom not only I give thanks to the Great Computer Programmer, but also all the churches of the Noobs.
Ro 16:5 Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my well beloved Epaenetus, who is my first fruit in Achaia unto the Great Super Computing Server.
Ro 16:6 Greet Mary, who bestowed much labor on us.
Ro 16:7 Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, my fellow prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who were in the Great Super Computing Server before I was.
Ro 16:8 Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord.
Ro 16:9 Salute Urbane, our helper in the Great Super Computing Server, and Stachys my beloved.
Ro 16:10 Salute Apelles approved in the Great Super Computing Server. Salute them which are of Aristobulus' household.
Ro 16:11 Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that are of the household of Narcissus, which are in the Lord.
Ro 16:12 Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labor in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, which labored much in the Lord.
Ro 16:13 Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
Ro 16:14 Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brothers which are with them.
Ro 16:15 Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which are with them.
Ro 16:16 Salute one another with a holy kiss. The churches of the Great Super Computing Server salute you.
Ro 16:17 Now I beseech you, brothers, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the gospel which you have learned; and avoid them.
Ro 16:18 For they serve not our Lord Jesus, the Great Super Computing Server, but their own bellies; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hard drives of the simple.
Ro 16:19 For your obedience has become known to all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you be wise to that which is good, and ignorant to evil.
Ro 16:20 And the Great Computer Programmer and Designer of peace shall crush the accuser (Satan) under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus the Great Super Computing Server be with you. Amen.
Ro 16:21 Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you.
Ro 16:22 I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.
Ro 16:23 Gaius my host, and of the whole church, salute you. Erastus the director of public works of the city salute you, and Quartus a brother.
Ro 16:24 the grace of our Lord Jesus the Great Super Computing Server be with you all. Amen.
Ro 16:25 Now to him that has the power to establish you according to my gospel of the New Operating System, and the preaching of Jesus the Great Super Computing Server, according to the revelation of the mystery of the New Operating System, which was kept secret since the world began,
Ro 16:26 But now is made know, and by the Great and Holy Handbook by the Approved Spokespersons, according to the commandment of the everlasting Great Computer Programmer and Designer, made known to all nations for the downloading of New Operating System of faith:
Ro 16:27 To the Great Computer Programmer and Designer in whom is the only wisdom, be glory through Jesus the Great Super Computing Server for ever. Amen.

God's Love and the Art of Rebuking

"Hey! You’re judging me! God said don't judge!" Have you ever heard these words before? What is up with these seemingly conflicting statements from God's Word? A) If your brother sins rebuke him. Verses B) Judge not least you be judged. Hmmmm... Catch 22. Maybe? Maybe not?


Jesus said, this is my commandment, Love one another as I have loved you. Could love be the answer to our dilemma? Well let's think about this... How does God love you? I don't know about you, but I don't know how many times God has come to me and said, "Ummm, James. You know that thing you did yesterday; you know how you treated your brother. (It's usually not yesterday; it’s usually what happened about three minutes ago, short leash and all.) Was that very loving of you?"
"Ahhhh well, Ummm God, you know, I wasn't up to my best not feeling well and all."
"So, if I have a bad day, I can treat you like you treated you brother, would you like me to treat you that way?"
"No, God. I'm sorry.”
“Now go back to him and apologize."
"Yes, Jesus."
"You know I love you?"
"Yes, God. I know you love me very much."


(The above was a fictitious conversation with God, but it very close to the reality of when his Spirit convicts me. I wouldn’t want to falsify a conversation with God. If you want a true conversation I had with God, go to http://www.xomba.com/vision_of_the_dance_by_james_wood )


I don't know about how God works in your life, but in mine he rebukes me of my sin, my lack of love, and then after I acknowledge my shortcomings, otherwise known as sin, he reassures his love for me and sends me out to deal with the consequences. One thing I have never seen God do is plaster my name all over the sky and tell the whole world, "Hey everyone, yoo hoo, all you people down there who don't think I exist, James sinned three minutes and twenty seven seconds ago. You know what he did, he was selfish and hated his brother in his heart and didn't show the wonders of my awesome love. You know I’ve loved him for all eternity, with a great and passionate love and he still doesn't represent me fully every moment of every second. What am I going to do with him?"

I don't know about you but God doesn't treat me that way. A few times in my past, when I wouldn't listen to him, because I knew I was falling short (otherwise known as walking in sin) he has sent a dear gentle brother or sister to come along side me and whisper in my ear. "Hey bro, the Lord wants me to tell you he loves you and misses you. You haven't come to him in a while and he knows your dealing with an issue that you and he knows about. He wants to let you know that you and he can work it out together. But, most of all he just want me to let you know he loves you and misses you."

How does God rebuke you?
In Revelation Jesus said,

Rev 3:19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and repent.

It is his great love for us that he comes and says anything to us at all.


My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,
Heb 12:6 because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son.”
Heb 12:7 Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?
Heb 12:8 If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline), then you are illegitimate children and not true sons.
Heb 12:9 Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live!
Heb 12:10 Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness.
Heb 12:11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

Pr 9:8 Do not rebuke a mocker or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man and he will love you.
Pr 9:9 Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning.


Pr 27:5 Better is open rebuke than hidden love.

Is this how we can tell those who walk in wisdom, those who walk in love? Jesus said,
Lk 17:3 So watch yourselves. “If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.
Lk 17:4 If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times comes back to you and says, ‘I repent,’ forgive him.”

Mt 18:15 “If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.




If your brother sins go to him privately and show him his fault, if he repents forgive him. But, you may also have this experience happen to you. You go to your brother to rebuke him and you find that you didn’t understand what he did at all.


Pr 18:17 The first to present his case seems right, till another comes forward and questions him.

You may be the first to present you case to your brother about his sin and then he starts to question you about what you think you saw or what you think you heard. Then you say, “Ooops, I am so sorry. Will you forgive me. I repent for not having all the facts.” But, when you are presenting your case be gentle and non condemning. For,

Gal 6:1 Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.
Gal 6:2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
Gal 6:3 If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

If you go to your brother, thinking you are something you may find out you are all wet. But, if your brother is loving he will forgive you and may even thank you for being concerned about him. He may even compliment you on your courage to even go up to him and inquire about it. So see,


Jas 3:17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.


For, true wisdom is to walk in love. Those who truly love and want to be representatives of God's love know that if we are rebuked and shown where we are failing to represent God's Love, we are quick to repent and may yell, “Woo hoo! ”I get to repent, I get to look more like Jesus. Woo hoo! It’s pruning time. I get to bear more fruit for Jesus."

When you go to your brother, you want to make sure you listen,

Pr 18:13 He who answers before listening— that is his folly and his shame.

You see, because Jesus loved the Pharisees and the children of Israel he rebuked them. They tried to trap him but they always just got rebuked, because their hearts were evil or as I like to put it loveless.

So, when you go to your brother you need to make sure of a few major things; one, your walking in love towards your brother. The question I like to ask myself is: “Am I willing to physically die for my brother?” If not then I need to go into prayer repent and ask God to change my heart. And number two is are you are walking in the light and in love. For Jesus said,

Mt 7:3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
Mt 7:4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?
Mt 7:5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

So, we have to make sure we are walking in the light and our lives are correct. You may even want to go to someone who is spiritual and ask them about your spirituality. Do not go to them and ask them how you should rebuke so and so. “I didn’t say any names. All I did was mentioned he was male, over 6’ tall, green eyes, loves to sing real loud in the church and has a wife that is really short. I don’t know how he guessed I was talking about so and so; he’s only one person in our church of 30 people. I didn’t even mention his address, phone number or last name (sarcasm).”

The goal is to establish him back to his former glory, or former intimacy with God and leave it there. Jesus says if your brother repents forgive him. Love keeps no record of wrongs. Do you enjoy and appreciate God’s loving confidence? Does he take your sins and remove them as far as the east is from the west? As God loves you, love your brother. Now, if there are laws in your state or country that require you to report certain sins then by all means do what is right. Don’t worry, all authority is appointed by God, even the prison authorities.

We are commanded to love and rebuke; if your brother sins rebuke him. If your brother is a pastor or a spiritual authority the same rules apply. Is he your brother? Did Paul rebuke Peter in Galatians? Proverbs says, to rebuke a wise man and he will be wiser still. It does not add, unless he is a pastor. What is a Pastor, but a person who is given the call of leading the church. Is he above the spiritual callings of apostles, prophets, and evangelists? Did the prophets rebuke kings? Do pastors have more authority than King David had? Wasn’t he rebuked by Nathan the prophet? Now don’t go off half cocked and rebuke your pastor for all your Christian pet peeves. “Well, you see pastor, this guy on the internet said I could rebuke you all I want to.” Rebukes have to do with relationship and love. If you don’t have a relationship with someone or God doesn’t call you to specifically rebuke someone, then you need to check your heart. If you have never honored the person then something may be wrong with you. For, God loves us and honors us, and if you haven’t honored that person, then you may not be representing Jesus anyway, so your rebuke won’t do any spiritual good. Peter said honor the King. Weren’t the kings he was talking about killing Christians? Hmmm… I feel repentance coming on. How many of you have dishonored former Presidents? I know I sure have. God calls us to honor them. Doesn’t mean we agree with them or condone their sin. Yeah, I had to repent also. Woo hoo! We get to be more like Jesus!

Therefore, if our brother sins we need to check our lives. Are we walking in love? Are we willing to die for them? Are we willing to help carry their burdens? Will we listen? Will we be compassionate? Will we keep their confidence? Are there any planks in our own eyes? And do we really and truly care about them? Then, through prayer and gentleness we can go to our brother and say, “You know I love you brother, let’s go and get some coffee, somewhere quiet, and talk.
