To be concerned about attitudes, dispositions, intimidations, motivations, religiosity, evaluations, manipulations, labelings, betrayals, etc. as it relates to human agents who are under the power of the deathly amalgamation of humanism and satanism will inevitably produce a disabling torment within the human spirit that leads to an estrangement from the will of the Eternal Godhead. The Apostle John, in the fourth chapter of his first epistle uses the symbol of “fear” to describe this disabling torment of the human spirit that translates into a psychological punishment of the one that would be brought into the prehensile tentacles of this spiritual captivity. To the one whose faith (Absolute Concern) rests in the carnality (fragmentations, splits, schisms, divisions of the human spirit) of fallen human agents a tragic fate of a “mutilated spirit” should await them. This “mutilated spirit” is the Apostle James’ “double minded man” who through the fragmentation of his psychological state experiences a precarious reality in his spiritual equilibrium and equanimity. Under normal circumstances this “mutilated spirit” is of grave concern; in the context of faith however, it can bring about deathly manifestations that can be spiritually cataclysmic. Spiritually cataclysmic in human agents because this “mutilated spirit” leads to the deathly dynamic of a “mutilated word” and when this “mutilated word” appears as “gospel” a doctrinal subterfuge of “Cheap Grace” makes its deceptive presentation. Cheap Grace is the apostate preaching that sees the free offer of Christ sacrificial death unto salvation as an option rather than the “Absolute Standard” for which one must earnestly contend. Cheap Grace is the apostate subterfuge that sees the Lord’s holiness as a fear tactic and a subject to be debated rather than an apodictic command (absolute truth expressed as command; e.g. “thou shalt not”) to be obeyed with all gravity. Cheap Grace is: “to skotadi emfanizetai os fos” (greek> “darkness appearing as light”) concerning the matter of the gospel of grace being presented apart from the judgment of the Lord for rejection of this “Magnanimous Divine Offer”. Wherever this “mutilated word” of Cheap Grace is propagated by the false prophetic voices of any genre, a deathly manifestation of an apostate reality should darken the minds of the unregenerate ones. The Apostle Paul addressed this demonic plague when he stated: “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:- Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.- But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed (greek> anathema).- As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed (anathema).” We must understand that the proclamation of this “mutilated word” of “Cheap Grace” is not merely an indication of such a one who “would be” cursed (i.e. a human spirit immersed in a perverse word), but it is a laconic indication of an unregenerate one (disabling torment) actively and presently living in this tormentous reality. In modernity, we have a visible apostate church that is immersed in the tormentous reality of “Cheap Grace”. The proclamation of this “mutilated word” has set within twenty-first century Christendom a horrific reality of living in the spirit of a “strong delusion”. A “mutilated spirit” and living in the cursed spirit of a “strong delusion” are just two of the myriad of “deathly manifestations” that abound when the unregenerate ones set the course of their lives upon the apostate foundation of the “mutilated word” of Cheap Grace. Again, the Apostle Paul truly speaks of the current state of Christendom in the twenty-first century when he propounds: “And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.- And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:” The dynamic answer to dismantling this “mutilated word” of Cheap Grace is the proclamation of the kerygmatic gospel or in other words, the true gospel (glad tidings) of the Lord Jesus Christ as spoken through the mouth of His Holy Apostles by the indwelling of the Holy Ghost. By this Spirit filled measure will the adherents of this apostate church be converted, healed, and assimilated into the Body Of Christ; that the “true church” should show forth the manifold wisdom of the Lord.

Everything that has appeared through the matrix of time has proceeded from the “Mind” of the Eternal Godhead (Father, Word, Holy Spirit). Time, which brings seasons, which bring cycles of both life and death are all conceptions that convey the “Mind” of an Eternal Creator intent on manifesting His presence purely from the substratum of His “Sovereign Will” (this discipline of theological understanding is referred to as “teleology”). There can be no vitality or life force of any genre apart from the “Mind” of the Eternal Godhead and this principle is “Absolute” with no tenable contretemps. It must be understood that the logical processes (systemic thoughts that assist in arriving at a conclusion, decision, etc.) within the psychological state which are concomitant to the categories of reason (ontological, technical, intuitive, etc.) have as their inceptive governing source the Spirit of the Eternal Godhead. When this governing source has become absolute in the mind of an human agent, a baptism/immersion in the Spirit of the Lord has become a living reality in which the human agent is rendered “Theos Minded”. This principle is set forth by the Apostle Paul writing to the church at Corinth when he states: “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.- Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.- But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.- But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.- For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ”. Being “Theos Minded” as it relates to the human agent means contemplating and accepting the perspective of the Lord on all matters that pertain to life and godliness without equal nor rival. There are no equivalent or alternative perspectives for the Theos Minded individual. All variant perspectives will be placed through the gauntlet of the Eternal Perspective of the Lord to preserve holiness and righteousness. If the variant perspective cannot stand in the weight of Eternal Conviction then it must be discarded at all costs. These “Holy Spirit Convictionless” perspectives must be discarded at all costs because they can set the substratum for what the Apostle Paul refers to as “Another Gospel” or what I have termed as a “Mutilated Word” (based upon the Apostle’s warning to beware of the “concision” translated as “Mutilators”) which potentially being formed in the human agent can serve as “Wicked Counsel” and lead many astray from the Absolute Truth found in the “Word of God”. The other grave concern here for this “Mutilated Word” that must be expressed is the fact that, this Mutilated Word has the power to utterly deceive even the sincerest heart in Christ (apart from the indwelling of the Holy Ghost in the human agent) by causing them to “Self Eclipse” the light of truth and righteousness within themselves thus rendering them to appear outwardly as ministers of righteousness while simultaneously functioning inwardly as “Agents of Darkness”. Ironically, this is the ominous fate of Lucifer/Devil spoken of by both the Prophets Isaiah and Ezekiel in the Old Testament and the Apostle Paul in the New Testament. The Prophet Isaiah states: “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!- For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:- I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High”. The Prophet Ezekiel states: “Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.- Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee”. The Apostle Paul states: “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.- And no marvel; for satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.- Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works”. The “Apostate Church” of the 21st century is a direct result of preaching “Mutilated Word” of “Cheap Grace” which has led to a mass defection from the “Sound Doctrine” of the “ONLY” “True Gospel” of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Holy Sacred Writ declares that the worlds (both mystical and corporeal) were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. From this declaration, a principle appears of infinite importance. Simultaneously, the word of God is immaterial and yet, “IS” the power that causes the immaterial to materialize so that it can be witnessed and attested to. The Apostle John eloquently writes: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.- The same was in the beginning with God.- All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made”. Applied to the human spirit, this magnanimous principle sets the substratum for detecting the motivation of the human heart (the fire of human desire enacting upon the will bringing forth the power to act) by the words that it frames. The Apostle John’s eloquence appears again when he states: “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth”. If the motivation of the human heart (human will/libido that brings forth the power to act) is deceit; words of blandishment will be framed. If the motivation of the human heart is lying; words of enticement will be framed. If the motivation of the human heart is to destroy; words of defamation will be framed. If the motivation of the human heart is betrayal; words of hostility will be framed. Seemingly, in the modern era of the church, this latter statement sets forth the apostatised disposition that currently plagues the visible church. Many in the visible church today have their hearts set in the apostatised disposition of betrayal, that confluently sets forth words of hostility, ultimately framing the “Betraying Speech” that characterizes them as spiritual assassins destroying the faith they claim to uphold. This is what makes the word of the Lord true when the Prophet Isaiah said “With their lips they do honour me, but their heart is far from me”. Betraying Speech is a type of demagoguery that acts upon the human spirit in a way that leads its decision making processes away from the edicts and commands (greek> apodictic> absolute truth expressed as divine command) of the Eternal Godhead as given through the word of God. In this manner, Betraying Speech shows that its radix (latin> meaning root) is in the spirit of antichrist (demonic power that works in the mystical/unseen realm against the divine purposes of the Eternal Godhead) and when this demagoguery appears in the human spirit, it demarcates that this human agent is under the influence and indwelt by satanic powers. In the human agent, Betraying Speech becomes an apostatised speech because it frames words and sets forth statements that lead the human spirit outside of those principles which Divine Truth has established as holy and acceptable. This proposition is absolutely true whether Betraying Speech appears in a political leader of a nation or in a spiritual leader of a congregation and this apostatised speech is an incubator of destruction (greek> katastrofi> meaning undoing/to make of none effect) to every human agent that would be constituted by its satanic influence. One of the most peculiar markers concerning Betraying Speech is its ability to frame words that seem to be in alignment with the principles of the word of the Lord, and yet, under forensic examination by the Spirit of God, they are shown to be of a satanic origin. Human agents under the influence of this satanic power will use the principle that “God is love” to endorse homosexuality, lesbianism, and same sex marriages. They will use the principle of the Lord’s blessing to conceal the subterfuge that they are worshipping the creation (influence of money) and the creature (social influence) rather than the “Creator” whose “Living Word” formed both the creation and the creature. They use the principle of Divine Judgment to make opaque the motivation of hatred for their enemies (nationalism) and their neighbors (racism). The word of the Lord speaks of these agents and the source of their power when it states: “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.- And no marvel; for satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.- Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” The “Antichrist” spoken of through Holy sacred writ (Bible) by the Prophets of the Old Testament and the Apostles of the New Testament will be marked by Betraying Speech. We already see his influence (spirit of antichrist) in the political leaders of our nation and the spiritual leaders of our congregations. (Another Oil Point from Theology Nation)

Theologically speaking, the matrix of historical time virtually ensures (in presence) the dynamic force of change (calamity, tribulation, death) that is necessary for the fulfillment of the divine purposes of the Divine Godhead. Because the divine purposes of the Eternal Godhead are always unfolding, the dynamic force of change must be present. Psychologically, mankind is in a constancy of rebellion (witchcraft) and stubbornness (iniquity) therefore, it is critical that the dynamic force of change be present in order that the divine purposes of the Eternal Godhead should not return void. Concerning the dynamic force of change, it is not a necessary component for the Eternal Godhead because the Lord is the “Sovereign Constructor” of historical time and the “Immutable One” who directs His divine purposes through its vista. Although the dynamic force of change isn’t a necessary component for the Eternal Godhead, it is a necessary component for the coherency of the human spirit which can be adversely affected by the precariousness of the deathly amalgamation of humanism and satanism. When the deathly amalgamation of humanism and satanism acts forcefully (trauma, pain, suffering, oppression, depression, etc.) upon the human spirit with or without consent, the consequential result of this compulsion is always the closing of the human coherency (spirit> psychological state, human will/substratum of desires, decision making processes). It is in the closing of the human coherency that the dynamic force of change must appear in eternal manifestation (Divine Spirit, Divine Revelation, Divine Word) for the opening and aligning of the human coherency with the divine purposes of the Eternal Godhead. This process of opening and aligning the human coherency with the divine purposes of the Eternal Godhead I have termed as “E.R.E.” or “Ecstatic Revelatory Experiences. Apart from ERE, the human coherency cannot and will not open to avail to the divine purposes (this is what the moniker “will of God” refers to) because the “Deathly Wardens” of fear, guilt, shame, remorse, etc. parasitically castigate the human spirit enacting upon it the spiritual death of estrangement. This is why Adam and Eve could not stand “Upright” in the presence of the Lord upon their fall from “Innocence”. A closed human coherency creates an impossible impasse concerning the divine purposes of the Lord and does not avail to the good pleasure of the Eternal Godhead in using human agents as an integral entity in the “Directing Creativity” (this is what the term “Divine Providence” means) of “Divine Will” in the earth. The Apostle Paul is laconically transparent with the church of Philippi when he states: “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure”. If the “vitality” and “life force” are to be restored and if the human coherency is to be opened and aligned with “Directing Creativity” of the Lord, then the dynamic force of change must forge a new path within the human spirit that is absolutely concerned with the divine purposes of the Lord (this is the meaning of the terms “consecration” and “sanctification” and the chief realization of being “baptized in the Holy Spirit of God”). The word of the Lord is preponderate when it declares: “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” also, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” and also, “And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness: the unclean shall not pass over it”. The question could be posited, “Is change immutable”? And another question can be set forth, “Is change immutable as the Lord is immutable”? The answer isn’t found in the philosophical measures of general truth but the answer is found in the theological measures of Divine Truth. Paradoxically, the scripture says, “For I am the Lord, I change not” therefore anything that originates from the Eternal Godhead is immutable in its substratum. Therefore the answer appears in the context of the original source. The dynamic force of change is immutable (constant/changeless) in the gauntlet of time because it emerges from its source the Eternal Godhead which is Immutable in eternity. This principle is critical to understand because any disposition of defiance (rebellion/stubbornness) waged against the dynamic force of change in relation to the divine purposes is a disposition of defiance towards its nascent source the Eternal Godhead. The Lord has made a determination that all such defiance will be met with condemnation (dynamic force of change>calamity, tribulation, death) and damnation (lake of fire) (cf. Zephaniah 3:8, Revelation 19:20, 20:10-15, 21:8) (Another Oil Point from Theology Nation)

From a theological point of view, mankind is thought to be (ontologically speaking) made in the image and likeness (greek>eikon from which we derive the english>icon meaning “resemblance”) of the Eternal Godhead yet with one infinitely challenging distinction; we do not possess omniscience, omnipotence, nor omnipresence. In other words, mankind does not possess the “Absolute Encompassing” knowledge, power, nor presence of Eternal Deity (hebrew>Elohim) because we are spirits sent through the matrix of created time and are therefore subject to the schisms, divisions, splits, and fragmentations which are concomitant symbols of the human experience. Profoundly, the Eternal Godhead is the “Power of Being” from which all life emerges (aseity) and mankind is the mortal life (hebrew>neshamah/nishmah) which has appeared in created time. Mankind is void of the “All Encompassing” aspect of the “Divine Attributes” displayed by the Eternal Godhead and therefore must encounter the “Questions of Life” as a means of opening the human spirit to the reception of “Divine Revelation”. The “Questions of Life” become the symbols of the reality of mankind’s existential state and of our limitations because of created time. Critical to note is the understanding that the “Questions of Life” are not bound by the diverse ethnicities and cultures of the “Nations” because they are not predicated upon mankind understanding our world (communal setting) in and of itself; they are predicated upon mankind understanding our world void of the presence and power of the Eternal Godhead. For this reason, the manifestation and reception of “Divine Revelation” by mankind becomes the “Answering Theology” of the Eternal Godhead to the “Questions of Life”. Answering Theology refers to the way in which Divine Revelation acts upon the spirit of mankind to answer the Questions of life that have been created out of lived human experience. Answering Theology also refers to the way in which Divine Revelation acts against all disobedience, unrighteousness, and wickedness onset by the deathly amalgamation of humanism and satanism in a world that is divided in its conscience. This is what makes the word of the Lord true when it says: “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;- Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;- And having a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled). The conscientious divide amongst mankind is the direct result of spiritual disobedience as it relates to the reception of Divine Revelation as the Answering Theology to the Questions of life. Mankind in every generation is halted between two realities and consequently receives proper judgment based upon Divine Truth issued forth as command by the Eternal Godhead. The two symbols for this proper judgment are “Eternal Life” and “Eternal Damnation” which are concomitant of two realities in the human conscience, “Eternal Light” and “Eternal Darkness”. From the Genesis of mankind’s creation upon the earth and their subsequent fall from innocence, mankind has had to deal with the spiritual estrangement we experience (from the Eternal Godhead) as a result of disobeying the original command of the Lord not to consume the knowledge of good and evil. It is mankind’s continuous consumption of the knowledge of good and evil at the disobeying of the Lord’s original command that keeps us in a continuous state of spiritual bondage (the symbol for this is “estrangement”) and constantly bound to the Questions of Life that blind us from seeing the eternal truth of Divine Revelation as set forth by the “Word of God”. Holiness is the radix (latin> meaning root) of the eternal truth of Divine Revelation and must be embraced and encountered through obedience for every human spirit seeking to be free from the tyranny of the Questions of Life (symbol for the unknown context of various aspects of human experience). The Answering Theology of Divine Revelation is the liberating power from the unknown context of various aspects of human experience, i.e. the Questions of Life. From the power of Divine Truth, the word of God shines forth when it emphatically states: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God”. To be holy or not to be holy? This is the preeminent question which requires the preeminent answer. (Another Oil Point from Theology Nation)
