Matter’s Not

Thoughts are neither categorized as emotion or logic. Man demands interpretation or perspective to make these distinctions. So, any cognitive analysis of scripture or offered opinion is in itself interpretive. There are many who seek discussion, argument or insert predetermined influences to steer conversation. The things of God are not open to interpretation but rather guided by the Holy Spirit. Therefore, to say one is falsely interpreting a book, verse or textual ideal when by nature those true to Gospel only have spiritual understanding given by the Earnest of our Salvation immediately sheds light on the necessary evidence of His Presence.

Do we assume incorrectly that God knows so little of His creation that He is oblivious to the distinctions made by each unique participant? Do we truly believe God may not discern mockery, from reason, from wrong thinking? To color the Perfect Word of God with my own wounded or wrong angled emotion inhibits my clarity of understanding and transformation. Therefore each person must be filtered and directed by the Power of Spirit, giving Spiritual Sight and discernment non existent in the mortal flesh. It is scripturally essential to remain within the stated objectives regarding the intention of the Body of Christ. It is a collective acquaintance with Christ that prepares the Body in love to avoid the deceptive arguments of False Doctrine.

Furthermore, God knows that life is lived over a variable period of time for each participant its length solely within His understanding. Therefore sanctification, preparation, maturity, transformation must be done over a period fully orchestrated by choice and God’s objectives. For He alone knows where we need to go and how to timely get each of us there. Therefore, it is essential for each of us to experience imprecise thinking and be corrected by God’s intervention through Gospel leading, experiential understanding and corrective discipline. There is no other way to near perfection then to reside in its silhouette carefully seeking Divine prudence to somehow match Christ’s Gate. The Word is not made for me to master but for it to master me in its power to transform the Earthly to Divine Reflection.

So, to those who would cloud, obfuscate or discourage either children of disobedience or the faithful to a specific unique understanding of the Gospel, perhaps to garner the ribbons and trophies of intelligence or accolade, please remember we all follow only One Voice. The Holy Spirit is the Promise of our eventual glorification and we are but participants in the grand and splendid parade of players working out their lines. Thus, whether I am predominantly emotive or logic is of little consequence. For to understand the Gospel in Godly clarity requires Spiritual Sight only given by God’s Spirit. None of us may insert ourselves or the false excuse of interpretation where there exists no role for man or angel. In Jesus’ Holy Name.
