		<description>In creation the Almighty created everything we need for life and godliness.  It includes the Passover Lamb of Yahweh, Yeshua Messiah slain from the foundation of the world.  In that HE created everything perfect - complete, there was no room for man to put his hand to it to add to or subtract from what Yahweh created and established.  Sabbath honors Yahweh and HIS creation.  Isaiah 58 says that, if we honor HIS Sabbath, and call his day holy, then we are not to go our own way, speak our own words, or seek our own pleasure.  HE has provided the Way, the Word, and is the one who gives real joy and peace.  Isaiah 58 says if we do this "HE will cause" us "to ride on the high hills of the earth!"  The earth, by the way, that HE created!  The rebellion against HIS Sabbath and Torah is rebellion against HIS creation!</description>

		<description>"Let There Be Light"

"In The Beginning" The Creator(Our Father) said,

"Let There Be Light, and There Was Light"

"The Beginning of The Creation of GOD"

"Let There Be Light"

And the revelation that The Messiah gave unto the 
apostle John bore witness to The Truth that The 
Messiah, was "The Beginning of the Creation of 
GOD(Our Father, Creator of ALL)"! (Rev 3:14)

And The Messiah bore witness to His Brethren 
when He testified, "My GOD is your GOD and My 
Father(Creator) is your Father(Creator)."(Jn 20:17)

The Messiah testified "I have sent My angel to 
you with this testimony for the assemblies. I am 
the root and the offspring of David. I am the bright,
Morning Star(Light)"! (Rev 22:16) ) Peter testified
"We have the more sure word of prophecy; and 
you do well to take heed, as to a lamp shining in a 
dark place, until the day dawns, and The Morning
Star(Light) arises in your hearts."(2Pt 1:19)  "But 
you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, 
a holy nation, HIS own special people, that you 
may proclaim the praises of HIM who called you 
out of darkness into His marvelous Light."(1Pt2:9) 

And the evening(darkness) and The Morning
(Light) was the First Day." (Gen 1:5)

"The Beginning of The Creation of GOD"!

It is very important to both know and experience 
The Messiah as He Is, Was and always Will Be, 
and also to know the "glory He had with Our 
Father" before He was born in "the likeness of 
sinful flesh". (John 17:5, Rom 8:3) For what The 
Messiah Was and Is, Is that which He will always
Will Be."The Only Begotten Son" of "Our Father"!

First, let me simply state that I do not believe the
"catholic" and "christian" theo'ry'logical doctrines 
concerning "The Only True GOD, Father ALL". For 
they "image"ine a three-headed "god" they call 
their "trinity", or they declare their "christ" to be 
their "god and father", or they believe that The 
Messiah was but an exalted messenger(angel) 
or prophet.

John The Baptist testified, "And I saw, and bare 
record that The Messiah is the Son of GOD(Our 
Father)."(John 1:34) Peter testified, "You are The 
Messiah, The Son of The Living GOD(Father of 
ALL)"!(Matt 16:16) And the Ethiopian eunuch 
testified, "I believe that The Messiah is The Son 
of GOD(Our Father)". (Acts 8:37) "Seeing then 
that we have a great high priest, that is passed 
into the Heavens, The Messiah, The Son of 
GOD(Our Father), let us hold fast our profession."  
(Heb 4:14) "These things are written so that you 
might believe that The Messiah is The Son of GOD
(Our Father)". (John 20:31) The Messiah testified 
that He was "The Son of GOD", and that His GOD
 was "The Only True GOD(Father of ALL)".
(John 10:36,17:3) 

And The Messiah also testified that He was the 
"Son of man" and "The Light of the world". 
(Matt 26:64, John 8:12)

It is needful to believe that The Messiah Was, Is 
and always Will Be "The Son of The Living GOD", 
and that there is but "One GOD, HE WHO is 
Father of ALL". (Mat 16:16, Eph 4:6) The Messiah 
bore witness to His Brethren when He testified 
after being "raised from among the dead", "My GOD 
is your GOD and My Father(Creator) is your Father
(Creator)" (John 20:17)

Is The Messiah's GOD and Father your GOD 
and Father?

Who are The Brethren of The Messiah?

"Let There Be Light"

Once again, It is very important to both know and 
experience The Messiah as He Was, Is and always 
Will Be. The Messiah simply testified in John 17:5 
"And now O Father, glorify Me with YOUR own self 
with the glory that I had with YOU before the world 
began".

Prior to that testimony The Messiah had testified, 
"Yet a little while is The Light with you. Walk while 
you have The Light, lest darkness comes upon 
you: for he that walks in darkness does not know 
where he goes. While you have Light, believe in 
The Light, that you may be the children of Light." 
(John 12:35-36)

And the apostle John testified: "In the beginning 
was the Word, and the Word was with GOD, and 
The Word was GOD. (John did not testify that 
The Word is GOD)The same was in the beginning
 with GOD. All things were made by Him, and 
without Him was not any thing made that was 
made.  In Him was Life; and The Life was The 
Light of men. And The Light shined in darkness; 
and the darkness comprehended it not. There 
was a man sent from GOD, whose name was 
John. The same came for a witness, to bear 
witness of The Light, that all men through Him 
might believe. He(John the baptist) was not that 
Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 
That was the True Light, which enlightens every 
man that comes into the world. He(The Messiah) 
was in the world, and the world was made by 
Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto 
His own, and His own received Him not. But as 
many as received Him, to them He gave power
 to become the sons of GOD, even to them that 
believe on His name: Which were born, not of 
blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will 
of man, but of "The Only True GOD, Father of 
ALL"." (John 1:1-13)

It is needful to realize that The Messiah testified 
of "The Only True GOD" in John 17:3, and so it is 
that The GOD and Father of The Messiah IS, 
WAS and always WILL BE "The Only True GOD".

"The Only True GOD" is "Father of ALL".

And "The Father of ALL" is "Our Father", HE WHO
IS "The Only True GOD" and Father of The Messiah 
and His Brethren.

And the apostle John testified in John 3:17-21: 
"For Our Father sent not his Son into the world 
to condemn the world; but that the world through 
Him might be saved. He that believes on Him is 
not condemned: but he that believes not is 
condemned already, because he has not believed
in the name of the only begotten Son of GOD(Our 
Father). And this is the condemnation, that Light is 
come into the world, and men loved darkness 
rather than Light, because their deeds were evil. 
For every one that does evil hates The Light, 
neither comes to The Light, lest his deeds should 
be reproved. But he that does Truth comes to The 
Light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that 
they are wrought in GOD(Our Father)."

In John 12:34 the people asked, "Who is this Son 
of man? Then in John 12:35-36, "The Messiah said 
unto them, yet a little while is The Light with you. 
Walk while you have The Light, lest darkness come 
upon you: for he that walks in darkness does not 
know where he goes. While you have Light, believe 
in The Light, that you may be the children of Light. 
The Messiah spoke these things, and departed, 
and hid Himself from them."

Simply, "In The Beginning" The Only True GOD 
spoke The Word, "Let There Be Light", "And there 
was Light"! "And there was evening(darkness) and 
there was morning (Light), The First Day". (Gen 1:5) 
Certainly such "Light" was not "natural" light, for 
"natural" light, the sun, moon, and stars were not 
created until the "fourth day". (Gen 1:14-19)

"In the beginning", "The First Day", The Father of 
All created "The Light", without which Creation and 
Life, as we now know and experience it, could not 
have been.

The First Day, "The Light", The Messiah, "The 
beginning of the Creation of GOD(HE WHO is 
The Only True GOD and Father of ALL)"! 
(Gen 1:3, Rev 3:14, John 17:3, Eph 4:6) 

And "The Only True GOD" created all "things" by,
 through, and for "The Light", The Messiah, "The 
Son of The Living GOD" and "Son of man". 
(Col 1:15, Eph 3:9, Mat 16:16, Mat 12:32)

And "The True Light which enlightens every man 
coming into the world", was born as a child 
destined to be The Messiah. (John 1:9, Mat 1:21)

The Messiah, "The Light of the world". 
(John 8:12, 9:5)

The Messiah, "The firstborn of every creature 
(all creation)". (Col 1:15)

The Messiah, "Begotten of Our Father", 
"The firstborn among many Brethren".
(Heb 1:5) (Ps 2:7) (Rom 8:29)

The Messiah, "A servant of The Only True GOD
(Father of ALL)". (Isa 42:1-7)

The Messiah, "The Lamb of GOD".
(John 1:29,36)

The Messiah, "The firstborn from among the dead".
(Col 1:18)

Once again: "In The Beginning" Our Father, "The 
Only True GOD" spoke: "Let there be Light, and 
there was Light"! The Messiah, "The Beginning of 
the Creation of GOD", "the firstborn of every 
creature(all creation)". (Gen 1:3, John 17:3, 
Rev 3:14, Col 1:15)

Thanks Be To "Our Father"!

The Messiah, The Creation of "The Only True 
GOD, Father of ALL"! (Rev 3:14)

The Messiah, "made so much better than the 
angels"! (Heb 1:4)

The Messiah, "The Light of the world"!
(John 8:12, 9:5)

"The Lamb of GOD", "The Light of The New 
Heavenly Jerusalem"! (Rev 21:22-23)

Paul experienced "The Light " on the road to 
Damascus. "And it came to pass, that, as I 
made my journey, and came near unto 
Damascus about noontime, suddenly a great 
Light from Heaven shone round about me. 
And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice 
saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why do you 
persecute Me? And I answered, "Who are 
You, Master"? And He said unto me, I am 
Yehowshuwa'(Yahshua, Joshua) of Nazareth, 
Whom you persecute. And they that were 
with me saw The Light, and were afraid; but 
they did not hear the voice of Him that spoke 
to me. And I said, "What shall I do, Master"? 
And He said unto me, arise and go into 
Damascus, and there you shall be told all 
things which are appointed for you to do. 
And when I could not see for the glory of 
that Light, I was led by the hand into 
Damascus." (Acts 22:6-11)

Paul also testified, "At midday I saw in the 
way a Light from Heaven, ABOVE THE 
BRIGHTNESS OF THE SUN, shining round 
about me and those who journeyed with me. 
And when we were all fallen to the earth, I 
heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying 
in the HEBREW tongue, Saul, Saul, why do
you persecute Me? It is hard for you to kick 
against the pricks." (The Messiah could not 
have told Paul, "I am jesus" for He spoke in 
the "HEBREW tongue") (Acts 26:13-14)

Paul saw "The Light" that was The Messiah 
and he was blinded(naturally, not Spiritually) 
for a time. Now when The Messiah was in
the "likeness of sinful flesh", born as "the 
Son of man", He could only reflect "The 
Light", liken unto the moon which but reflects 
the light of the natural sun.

"Let There Be Light"

The Messiah, "The Light of the world"!

And consider the natural light provided by 
the sun, which was Created on the fourth 
day. Does not the natural light of the sun 
reveal outwardly, all the earthly, natural 
things? Consider what happens when 
that which you thought was clean is 
exposed to the light of the sun? Is not
the least outward particle of uncleanness 
readily seen in the light of the sun? And 
so it is with "The Light" that is The Messiah. 
For His Life, "The Life", exposes all the 
uncleanness in the life that is of The "I" in 
all of us! The "I" is the creation of mankind's
"imag"ination! And "The Light" penetrates 
deeply, cleansing even the innermost 
recesses of the heart, "rightly dividing the 
soul and spirit"!

Yet for such a cleansing to begin one must 
"experience The Messiah(The Light) and 
The Power that raised Him from among the 
dead"!(Php 3:10) Oh, there are many who 
know of a "messiah", yet who has 
experienced "The Light"? For "The Light" 
was "The Beginning of Creation" both the 
old, which was natural and earthly and The 
New, which is of The Spirit and Heavenly. 
Those who "love this world and it's things" 
yet desire that which "decayed, waxed 
old and vanished away" (Heb 8:13) They 
are of those "whose 'god' is their belly, 
and whose glory is in their shame, for 
they mind earthly things". (Phlp 3:19)

Sadly, those who "love this world and it's 
things" yet love darkness more than The 
Light and they will abide in the darkness 
they loved forever ;-( (1Jn2:15,Jn3:19-20)

Sadder yet, systems of religion that are of 
this world, such as "catholicism", "christianity", 
"judaism", "islam", etc., have so perverted
 The Testimonies, that today, as in the two 
thousand or so, years gone by, "The Way 
of Truth is evil spoken of"! All because of 
the theo'ry'logical, heretical doctrines that 
are of men! And especially those 
theo'ry'logical doctrines which seek to 
define "The Only True GOD, Father of All". 
(2Peter 2:1-2)

All such doctrines are but the product of 
mankind's "imag"ination and mankind's 
"imag"ination is destroying and perverting 
Creation(land, air, water, creatures, Light, 
Truth, Love, Peace, Joy, Hope, .etc.)

Yes, sadly ;-( Creation is being destroyed 
by self-willed men who could care less 
about that which is of The Truth(What Is, 
Was, and always Will Be), and care even 
less about those things which they can 
not comprehend apart from their 
"natural" senses and mental processes ;-(

And The Truth testifies, The Creator "will 
destroy those who destroy the earth(HIS 
Creation)"(Rev 11:18).

Sadly, in this wicked world, those who 
seek profit will naturally overcome those 
who do not ;-(

Yet, There Is Hope!

For The Life is of The Spirit!

And Miracles do happen!

And Faith rejoices against profit(greed)
and theo'ry'logy(logic)!

Hope is there would be those who experience 
The Miracle that is receiving "a love of The 
Truth" for they will "see" "The Light". 
(2Thes 2:10, John 8:12, 9:5)

And they will receive peace, in spite of the 
dis-ease(no-peace) that is of this world, for 
they will clearly "see" that "The WHOLE 
world is under the control of the evil one". 
(1John 5:19) And they will clearly "see" 
things as they are and not as "imag"inative, 
world-loving humans would have others 
believe them to be, for they will "see" The 
Light that is The Messiah....... francisco</description>

<p>&#8220;In The Beginning&#8221; The Creator(Our Father) said,</p>

<p>And the revelation that The Messiah gave unto the<br />

when He testified, &#8220;My GOD is your GOD and My<br />
Father(Creator) is your Father(Creator).&#8221;(Jn 20:17)</p>
<p>The Messiah testified &#8220;I have sent My angel to<br />
you with this testimony for the assemblies. I am<br />
the root and the offspring of David. I am the bright,<br />
Morning Star(Light)&#8221;! (Rev 22:16) ) Peter testified<br />
&#8220;We have the more sure word of prophecy; and<br />

dark place, until the day dawns, and The Morning<br />

you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood,<br />
a holy nation, HIS own special people, that you<br />
may proclaim the praises of HIM who called you<br />
out of darkness into His marvelous Light.&#8221;(1Pt2:9) </p>
<p>And the evening(darkness) and The Morning<br />
(Light) was the First Day.&#8221; (Gen 1:5)</p>
<p>&#8220;The Beginning of The Creation of GOD&#8221;!</p>
<p>It is very important to both know and experience<br />
The Messiah as He Is, Was and always Will Be,<br />
and also to know the &#8220;glory He had with Our<br />
Father&#8221; before He was born in &#8220;the likeness of<br />
sinful flesh&#8221;. (John 17:5, Rom 8:3) For what The<br />
Messiah Was and Is, Is that which He will always<br />
Will Be.&#8221;The Only Begotten Son&#8221; of &#8220;Our Father&#8221;!</p>
<p>First, let me simply state that I do not believe the<br />
&#8220;catholic&#8221; and &#8220;christian&#8221; theo&#8217;ry&#8217;logical doctrines<br />
concerning &#8220;The Only True GOD, Father ALL&#8221;. For<br />
they &#8220;image&#8221;ine a three-headed &#8220;god&#8221; they call<br />
their &#8220;trinity&#8221;, or they declare their &#8220;christ&#8221; to be<br />
their &#8220;god and father&#8221;, or they believe that The<br />
Messiah was but an exalted messenger(angel)<br />
or prophet.</p>
<p>John The Baptist testified, &#8220;And I saw, and bare<br />
record that The Messiah is the Son of GOD(Our<br />
Father).&#8221;(John 1:34) Peter testified, &#8220;You are The<br />

ALL)&#8221;!(Matt 16:16) And the Ethiopian eunuch<br />
testified, &#8220;I believe that The Messiah is The Son<br />
of GOD(Our Father)&#8221;. (Acts 8:37) &#8220;Seeing then<br />
that we have a great high priest, that is passed<br />
into the Heavens, The Messiah, The Son of<br />
GOD(Our Father), let us hold fast our profession.&#8221;<br />
(Heb 4:14) &#8220;These things are written so that you<br />
might believe that The Messiah is The Son of GOD<br />
(Our Father)&#8221;. (John 20:31) The Messiah testified<br />
that He was &#8220;The Son of GOD&#8221;, and that His GOD<br />
 was &#8220;The Only True GOD(Father of ALL)&#8221;.<br />
(John 10:36,17:3) </p>
<p>And The Messiah also testified that He was the<br />
&#8220;Son of man&#8221; and &#8220;The Light of the world&#8221;.<br />
(Matt 26:64, John 8:12)</p>
<p>It is needful to believe that The Messiah Was, Is<br />
and always Will Be &#8220;The Son of The Living GOD&#8221;,<br />
and that there is but &#8220;One GOD, HE WHO is<br />
Father of ALL&#8221;. (Mat 16:16, Eph 4:6) The Messiah<br />
bore witness to His Brethren when He testified<br />
after being &#8220;raised from among the dead&#8221;, &#8220;My GOD<br />
is your GOD and My Father(Creator) is your Father<br />
(Creator)&#8221; (John 20:17)</p>
<p>Is The Messiah&#8217;s GOD and Father your GOD<br />
and Father?</p>
<p>Who are The Brethren of The Messiah?</p>
<p>&#8220;Let There Be Light&#8221;</p>
<p>Once again, It is very important to both know and<br />
experience The Messiah as He Was, Is and always<br />
Will Be. The Messiah simply testified in John 17:5<br />
&#8220;And now O Father, glorify Me with YOUR own self<br />
with the glory that I had with YOU before the world<br />
began&#8221;.</p>
<p>Prior to that testimony The Messiah had testified,<br />
&#8220;Yet a little while is The Light with you. Walk while<br />
you have The Light, lest darkness comes upon<br />
you: for he that walks in darkness does not know<br />
where he goes. While you have Light, believe in<br />
The Light, that you may be the children of Light.&#8221;<br />
(John 12:35-36)</p>
<p>And the apostle John testified: &#8220;In the beginning<br />
was the Word, and the Word was with GOD, and<br />
The Word was GOD. (John did not testify that<br />
The Word is GOD)The same was in the beginning<br />
 with GOD. All things were made by Him, and<br />
without Him was not any thing made that was<br />
made.  In Him was Life; and The Life was The<br />
Light of men. And The Light shined in darkness;<br />
and the darkness comprehended it not. There<br />
was a man sent from GOD, whose name was<br />
John. The same came for a witness, to bear<br />
witness of The Light, that all men through Him<br />
might believe. He(John the baptist) was not that<br />
Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.<br />
That was the True Light, which enlightens every<br />
man that comes into the world. He(The Messiah)<br />
was in the world, and the world was made by<br />
Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto<br />
His own, and His own received Him not. But as<br />
many as received Him, to them He gave power<br />
 to become the sons of GOD, even to them that<br />
believe on His name: Which were born, not of<br />
blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will<br />
of man, but of &#8220;The Only True GOD, Father of<br />
ALL&#8221;.&#8221; (John 1:1-13)</p>
<p>It is needful to realize that The Messiah testified<br />
of &#8220;The Only True GOD&#8221; in John 17:3, and so it is<br />
that The GOD and Father of The Messiah IS,<br />
WAS and always WILL BE &#8220;The Only True GOD&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Only True GOD&#8221; is &#8220;Father of ALL&#8221;.</p>
<p>And &#8220;The Father of ALL&#8221; is &#8220;Our Father&#8221;, HE WHO<br />
IS &#8220;The Only True GOD&#8221; and Father of The Messiah<br />
and His Brethren.</p>
<p>And the apostle John testified in John 3:17-21:<br />
&#8220;For Our Father sent not his Son into the world<br />
to condemn the world; but that the world through<br />
Him might be saved. He that believes on Him is<br />
not condemned: but he that believes not is<br />
condemned already, because he has not believed<br />
in the name of the only begotten Son of GOD(Our<br />
Father). And this is the condemnation, that Light is<br />
come into the world, and men loved darkness<br />
rather than Light, because their deeds were evil.<br />
For every one that does evil hates The Light,<br />
neither comes to The Light, lest his deeds should<br />
be reproved. But he that does Truth comes to The<br />
Light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that<br />
they are wrought in GOD(Our Father).&#8221;</p>
<p>In John 12:34 the people asked, &#8220;Who is this Son<br />
of man? Then in John 12:35-36, &#8220;The Messiah said<br />
unto them, yet a little while is The Light with you.<br />
Walk while you have The Light, lest darkness come<br />
upon you: for he that walks in darkness does not<br />
know where he goes. While you have Light, believe<br />
in The Light, that you may be the children of Light.<br />
The Messiah spoke these things, and departed,<br />
and hid Himself from them.&#8221;</p>
<p>Simply, &#8220;In The Beginning&#8221; The Only True GOD<br />
spoke The Word, &#8220;Let There Be Light&#8221;, &#8220;And there<br />
was Light&#8221;! &#8220;And there was evening(darkness) and<br />
there was morning (Light), The First Day&#8221;. (Gen 1:5)<br />
Certainly such &#8220;Light&#8221; was not &#8220;natural&#8221; light, for<br />
&#8220;natural&#8221; light, the sun, moon, and stars were not<br />
created until the &#8220;fourth day&#8221;. (Gen 1:14-19)</p>
<p>&#8220;In the beginning&#8221;, &#8220;The First Day&#8221;, The Father of<br />
All created &#8220;The Light&#8221;, without which Creation and<br />
Life, as we now know and experience it, could not<br />
have been.</p>
<p>The First Day, &#8220;The Light&#8221;, The Messiah, &#8220;The<br />
beginning of the Creation of GOD(HE WHO is<br />
The Only True GOD and Father of ALL)&#8221;!<br />
(Gen 1:3, Rev 3:14, John 17:3, Eph 4:6) </p>
<p>And &#8220;The Only True GOD&#8221; created all &#8220;things&#8221; by,<br />
 through, and for &#8220;The Light&#8221;, The Messiah, &#8220;The<br />
Son of The Living GOD&#8221; and &#8220;Son of man&#8221;.<br />
(Col 1:15, Eph 3:9, Mat 16:16, Mat 12:32)</p>
<p>And &#8220;The True Light which enlightens every man<br />
coming into the world&#8221;, was born as a child<br />
destined to be The Messiah. (John 1:9, Mat 1:21)</p>
<p>The Messiah, &#8220;The Light of the world&#8221;.<br />
(John 8:12, 9:5)</p>
<p>The Messiah, &#8220;The firstborn of every creature<br />
(all creation)&#8221;. (Col 1:15)</p>
<p>The Messiah, &#8220;Begotten of Our Father&#8221;,<br />
&#8220;The firstborn among many Brethren&#8221;.<br />
(Heb 1:5) (Ps 2:7) (Rom 8:29)</p>
<p>The Messiah, &#8220;A servant of The Only True GOD<br />
(Father of ALL)&#8221;. (Isa 42:1-7)</p>
<p>The Messiah, &#8220;The Lamb of GOD&#8221;.<br />
(John 1:29,36)</p>
<p>The Messiah, &#8220;The firstborn from among the dead&#8221;.<br />
(Col 1:18)</p>
<p>Once again: &#8220;In The Beginning&#8221; Our Father, &#8220;The<br />
Only True GOD&#8221; spoke: &#8220;Let there be Light, and<br />
there was Light&#8221;! The Messiah, &#8220;The Beginning of<br />
the Creation of GOD&#8221;, &#8220;the firstborn of every<br />
creature(all creation)&#8221;. (Gen 1:3, John 17:3,<br />
Rev 3:14, Col 1:15)</p>
<p>Thanks Be To &#8220;Our Father&#8221;!</p>
<p>The Messiah, The Creation of &#8220;The Only True<br />
GOD, Father of ALL&#8221;! (Rev 3:14)</p>
<p>The Messiah, &#8220;made so much better than the<br />
angels&#8221;! (Heb 1:4)</p>
<p>The Messiah, &#8220;The Light of the world&#8221;!<br />
(John 8:12, 9:5)</p>
<p>&#8220;The Lamb of GOD&#8221;, &#8220;The Light of The New<br />
Heavenly Jerusalem&#8221;! (Rev 21:22-23)</p>
<p>Paul experienced &#8220;The Light &#8221; on the road to<br />
Damascus. &#8220;And it came to pass, that, as I<br />
made my journey, and came near unto<br />
Damascus about noontime, suddenly a great<br />
Light from Heaven shone round about me.<br />
And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice<br />
saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why do you<br />
persecute Me? And I answered, &#8220;Who are<br />
You, Master&#8221;? And He said unto me, I am<br />
Yehowshuwa&#8217;(Yahshua, Joshua) of Nazareth,<br />
Whom you persecute. And they that were<br />
with me saw The Light, and were afraid; but<br />
they did not hear the voice of Him that spoke<br />
to me. And I said, &#8220;What shall I do, Master&#8221;?<br />
And He said unto me, arise and go into<br />
Damascus, and there you shall be told all<br />
things which are appointed for you to do.<br />
And when I could not see for the glory of<br />
that Light, I was led by the hand into<br />
Damascus.&#8221; (Acts 22:6-11)</p>
<p>Paul also testified, &#8220;At midday I saw in the<br />
way a Light from Heaven, ABOVE THE<br />
BRIGHTNESS OF THE SUN, shining round<br />
about me and those who journeyed with me.<br />
And when we were all fallen to the earth, I<br />
heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying<br />
in the HEBREW tongue, Saul, Saul, why do<br />
you persecute Me? It is hard for you to kick<br />
against the pricks.&#8221; (The Messiah could not<br />
have told Paul, &#8220;I am jesus&#8221; for He spoke in<br />
the &#8220;HEBREW tongue&#8221;) (Acts 26:13-14)</p>
<p>Paul saw &#8220;The Light&#8221; that was The Messiah<br />
and he was blinded(naturally, not Spiritually)<br />
for a time. Now when The Messiah was in<br />
the &#8220;likeness of sinful flesh&#8221;, born as &#8220;the<br />
Son of man&#8221;, He could only reflect &#8220;The<br />
Light&#8221;, liken unto the moon which but reflects<br />
the light of the natural sun.</p>
<p>&#8220;Let There Be Light&#8221;</p>
<p>The Messiah, &#8220;The Light of the world&#8221;!</p>
<p>And consider the natural light provided by<br />
the sun, which was Created on the fourth<br />
day. Does not the natural light of the sun<br />
reveal outwardly, all the earthly, natural<br />
things? Consider what happens when<br />
that which you thought was clean is<br />
exposed to the light of the sun? Is not<br />
the least outward particle of uncleanness<br />
readily seen in the light of the sun? And<br />
so it is with &#8220;The Light&#8221; that is The Messiah.<br />
For His Life, &#8220;The Life&#8221;, exposes all the<br />
uncleanness in the life that is of The &#8220;I&#8221; in<br />
all of us! The &#8220;I&#8221; is the creation of mankind&#8217;s<br />
&#8220;imag&#8221;ination! And &#8220;The Light&#8221; penetrates<br />
deeply, cleansing even the innermost<br />
recesses of the heart, &#8220;rightly dividing the<br />
soul and spirit&#8221;!</p>
<p>Yet for such a cleansing to begin one must<br />
&#8220;experience The Messiah(The Light) and<br />
The Power that raised Him from among the<br />
dead&#8221;!(Php 3:10) Oh, there are many who<br />
know of a &#8220;messiah&#8221;, yet who has<br />
experienced &#8220;The Light&#8221;? For &#8220;The Light&#8221;<br />
was &#8220;The Beginning of Creation&#8221; both the<br />
old, which was natural and earthly and The<br />
New, which is of The Spirit and Heavenly.<br />
Those who &#8220;love this world and it&#8217;s things&#8221;<br />
yet desire that which &#8220;decayed, waxed<br />
old and vanished away&#8221; (Heb 8:13) They<br />
are of those &#8220;whose &#8216;god&#8217; is their belly,<br />
and whose glory is in their shame, for<br />
they mind earthly things&#8221;. (Phlp 3:19)</p>
<p>Sadly, those who &#8220;love this world and it&#8217;s<br />
things&#8221; yet love darkness more than The<br />
Light and they will abide in the darkness<br />
they loved forever ;-( (1Jn2:15,Jn3:19-20)</p>
<p>Sadder yet, systems of religion that are of<br />
this world, such as &#8220;catholicism&#8221;, &#8220;christianity&#8221;,<br />
&#8220;judaism&#8221;, &#8220;islam&#8221;, etc., have so perverted<br />
 The Testimonies, that today, as in the two<br />
thousand or so, years gone by, &#8220;The Way<br />
of Truth is evil spoken of&#8221;! All because of<br />
the theo&#8217;ry&#8217;logical, heretical doctrines that<br />
are of men! And especially those<br />
theo&#8217;ry&#8217;logical doctrines which seek to<br />
define &#8220;The Only True GOD, Father of All&#8221;.<br />
(2Peter 2:1-2)</p>
<p>All such doctrines are but the product of<br />
mankind&#8217;s &#8220;imag&#8221;ination and mankind&#8217;s<br />
&#8220;imag&#8221;ination is destroying and perverting<br />
Creation(land, air, water, creatures, Light,<br />
Truth, Love, Peace, Joy, Hope, .etc.)</p>
<p>Yes, sadly ;-( Creation is being destroyed<br />
by self-willed men who could care less<br />
about that which is of The Truth(What Is,<br />
Was, and always Will Be), and care even<br />
less about those things which they can<br />
not comprehend apart from their<br />
&#8220;natural&#8221; senses and mental processes ;-(</p>
<p>And The Truth testifies, The Creator &#8220;will<br />
destroy those who destroy the earth(HIS<br />
Creation)&#8221;(Rev 11:18).</p>
<p>Sadly, in this wicked world, those who<br />
seek profit will naturally overcome those<br />
who do not ;-(</p>
<p>Yet, There Is Hope!</p>
<p>For The Life is of The Spirit!</p>
<p>And Miracles do happen!</p>
<p>And Faith rejoices against profit(greed)<br />
and theo&#8217;ry&#8217;logy(logic)!</p>
<p>Hope is there would be those who experience<br />
The Miracle that is receiving &#8220;a love of The<br />
Truth&#8221; for they will &#8220;see&#8221; &#8220;The Light&#8221;.<br />
(2Thes 2:10, John 8:12, 9:5)</p>
<p>And they will receive peace, in spite of the<br />
dis-ease(no-peace) that is of this world, for<br />
they will clearly &#8220;see&#8221; that &#8220;The WHOLE<br />
world is under the control of the evil one&#8221;.<br />
(1John 5:19) And they will clearly &#8220;see&#8221;<br />
things as they are and not as &#8220;imag&#8221;inative,<br />
world-loving humans would have others<br />
believe them to be, for they will &#8220;see&#8221; The<br />
Light that is The Messiah&#8230;&#8230;. francisco</p>

		<description>[...] Reincarnation, Mystery, Madness : Transmigrant Blues by Indi Riverflow wrote an interesting post today onHere&#8217;s a quick excerpt Another significant idea emerges from 1 Corinthians 12. There, it describes the church body as Christ’s body on earth. In it, Paul explains that each member of the church is a member of Christ’s body (v. 12-14). He rebukes those who minimize the importance of another member (v. 14-19) and he rebukes those who minimize the importance of their own role (v. 20-21). And, in all of this, he never allows for anyone to be a member of the body/church and not be active in some part of its ministry. Chu [...]</description>

		<description>Hi, thanks for clarifying the main questions. It would be great if you would contribute some of your clarity of thought to a rather rambling, and long, attempt at tackling Genesis at a site called &lt;a href="http://www.opensourcetheology.net/node/1104" rel="nofollow"&gt;opensourcetheology&lt;/a&gt;. This is a site that encourages study from a postmodern viewpoint but actually hosts Christian contributors of all types and is run by an English theologian Andrew Perriman.</description>
