Before Salvation we do not read the bible or study it or even live in truth ! After salvation we still only know the carnal trues ! It takes time to grow in Truth with the correct understanding ! Young Christians will not know LOTS !
The elders in the LORD should know much more ?
We should have experience more ! I have entered GOD new Rest once! Had the rivers of living water once 1 Dead twice 1 raised the dead three times!
Been healed lots in different ways ?
been to lots of different kinds of churches ! Had the LORD tell me to do lots of different things to do ! Say appeared to make no sense! But after doing them ? Saw the miracles !
I have argued with the LORD ! Thinking I knew best ! But never was correct ! Thank GOD HE was Always correct ! Now I know I trust In Him and not our thinking !
blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. (Revel. 22:14,15.)
And....
This just Shows satan or the demons can Not enter New Jerusalem and are bound to the earth !
2Co_5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
That just shows He already created many new things and has more ahead of us !
He has a new rest 1 the rivers of living water is a new thing for us and being new creatures is new and gives us His Holy Ghost which is new !
Creates a new heaven and earth ! Makes Us new kings and New Priests ! New laws and priesthood !
The carnal type preachers are Still preaching the old covenant .When it gone ! We are now under the New Covenant and New testament ! Which is Jesus Christ !
they mostly do not preach all the old testament / But most do about collecting monies and getting workers !
Tithing was to take care of the priest tribe ! Working was force!
Now we live under the laws of Jesus , Love and Faith ! Those are the Only Laws HE writes in our Heart 1
the New Priest tribe which all who are Born again belong to Judah !
He the High Priest of the tribe of Judah ! we are the lower Priest under Him of the tribe of JUDAH !
It the new Priest tribe !
Joh_7:39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
Heb_7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
1Ti_1:14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
Heb_7:14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
Rev_5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
Heb_4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Heb_5:5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
1Pe_2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
Rev_1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Rev_5:10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
Rev_21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
This means Everything 100% !He started with eternal life , then us being new creatures, the new rest 1 The baptism of the Holy Ghost ! Later the earth and the heavens we see !
Rev_21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Most men just see the carnal ! First we must have the spirit of truth or we too see all things carnal ! Living by sight!
Unless we are in a strong relationship with God ! We will not see much truth or the correct understanding 1 Because some things do sound good in our flesh thinking !
Heb_8:13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
Heb_12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant,
Heb_8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
Heb_8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
Heb_8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
Gal_2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
Gal_5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
Rom_9:32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
Rom_11:11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Gal 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Rom_9:8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God:
Rom_8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
the young Christian still thinks very carnal !
Heb_5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
Heb_5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
2Co_12:15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.
Because much He taught ? Did not make sense to most !
Because it spiritually discerned ! The spirit of truth has to open our understanding !
But it hard Once we have been under a preach or teachers that did not know much spiritually !
Lots of teachings sound good to the flesh thinker !
Hope this blesses someone !
