FULL BIBLE TRUTH
Letter to an APOSTOLIC ONENESS BELIEVER [expanded]
It looks like Full Bible Truth is up and running again after another two days of down time. We are indeed at war against powers and principalities and not against flesh and blood. Evenso flesh and blood are all too often the vessels and devices of those powers and principalities that work against the Gospel. I follow your rhetoric and have many times asked the same questions of my peers.
They want us to think that the rape, murder, and destruction of little boys and girls in foreign countries is justified in warfare but we are among the lowest order of creatures should we even speak "harshly" to our own beloved sons and daughters to discipline them and we're fascist nazis if we even so much as attempt to exercise authority over our own wives. They have the unmitigated gall to accuse us of "double standards" while matriarchs commit even greater attrocities in the name of egalitarianism. "Tacky" isn't even the word �?it's downright revolting.
The Puritan as much as said that my new bride was a whore. I will testify according to the Word that my new bride neither sinned, nor practiced any whoredom as accused but was indeed a virgin before we married in my father's house. I cannot help but to feel that the Puritan did not marry her existing hubby as a virgin herself [and this is the first time that I make this remark] because she is so vehemently opposed to godly marriage. Nonetheless the Word judges her. I do not wonder why memberships at APO GROUP were so quickly terminated considering that the Puritan's railing accusations would have qualified me to justly put her own virtue to the question in equal time. Was this Puritan a virgin when she married her existing husband? If not, she has surely judged herself an harlot in the BIBLICAL sense of the word.
Adultery is verily "woman who breaketh wedlock" no more, no less. The man who takes another man's wife is an adulterer. If a virgin marry she hath not sinned. There is room in my home for two more wives. If the Lord saw fit to grant me two more wives in addition to the two that I already have, I would gladly receive them in His name. Even if these themselves were not virgins but were repented believers in holiness, I would likely still receive them. Even if these were single, divorced mothers who repented of their sins and desired to live in holiness unto God, having died to sin and being dead to their former husbands, I would verily receive them in the name of the Lord... Yet it seemeth that brothers every day, shun the fatherless and the widowed also.
How ludicrous to think that we should demand that those newly born should return to the ugodly flesh that they joined to without sanctification, who were already put away and have already put away, only to hold them to former bondage in the flesh! What if their fleshly spouses have already remarried? Should further divorce then be prescribed? God forbid. I so love the scripture as it is established in the first book of Corinthians, chapter seven, concerning this predicament. I would like to write a commentary soon about the UNMARRIED at some point to clarify any misunderstandings some would still face concerning the "loosed". What hardness of heart exists among those who provide no remedy, no forgiveness, no room for repentence, and little reason to improve one's spiritual condition, but would uphold such utter condemnation against the Lord's newly born! We know that God's commandments are not grievous and that this spirit is not from God. Jesus told us go "go and sin no more" �?he did not say: "return ye to your former ungodly lives" ; neither is it possible for those who know Him to return to those former things, seeing that they are new creatures in Christ. Evenso we must tend to that calling wherein we are called �?it does not always mean that we must not marry.
This position that I maintain concerning the marriage ordinance of the Almighty God, L'basar echad, is without all of those paper tigers and papist sanctioning (without sanctification from on high) and it is essential to the operation of mercy and grace in our Lord Jesus Christ, even unto full repentence in His name. I would implore the reader to understand that without this standard, even the patriarchs of God cannot take back what is their rightful, biblical inheritance as men of God (operating in the gifts of the Holy Spirit) from that worldly government that has spiritually opposed them and oppressed them from the beginning.
It is not for godly men to take back their authority so much from the weaker vessel, but rather from that worldly government which presumes to have the rule over God's own annointed. This standard hinges on the very authority of what every born again believer needs to embrace before they are able to operate completely in their proper spousal role with understanding. Until this standard is embraced for the truth that it upholds, the Mystery concerning Christ and the Church cannot be fully revealed to them. Prior to any marriage ceremony, every pastor should best be prepared to look either one of the party in the eye and tell them directly, "Understand that the husband reserves the right to marry as many wives in the Lord as the Lord God has seen fit to give him", and "Understand that the wife may only have one husband in the LORD for as long as her husband lives." Clearly the congregation should say AMEN ... but they do not ... and the reasons why they do not ... confess truth ... are manifest, for it is also the congregation who have learned to love a lie, to embrace it in the flesh, not comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
God's standard is the highest. We must all bow to "it" because He, Himself, is that Living Standard so many here among us would correctly call the TRUTH. It is by this standard and this sword, even His Word, that we would all fall short without. Therefore, if we were to agree with God's Word, that whomsoever any man should happen to marry in the flesh ( L'basar echad ) is precisely whomsoever they do indeed become one flesh with, then many of our pastors, ministers, judges, lawyers, and puritans, etc.would be required of God to confess and repent of that same carnal knowledge and shame that they have so long been readily assuming of others, namely, fornication and adultery. Although the verdict, in almost every case, is one of guilt met with denial, these false ministers would rather prefer to sweep this godly standard under the carpet of voluntary ignorance to embrace a lie scribbled on a paper contract ordained, not of God, but of Caesar himself �?and are also awarded for such papist "services" to those pretentious dogs that would feign to "have the rule" over the sons of God. Yet they would deny us this, the higher standard, and God's very own: L'basar echad, that plainly teaches that the true marriage ordinance of God is One Flesh. I should like to take the liberty to state that in the beginning it was so, as I am often reminded of this truth by those who continually confuse godly marriage for fornication and adultery as most Puritans and Neo-Pharisees do, not rightly dividing the word of truth.
I believe this is why the sodomites and lesbians who demand "same-sex marriages" are so vehemently opposed to godly polygamy. If the godly were legally permitted to practice it, the enemy would certainly be faced with a powerful force to reckon with. Alas, it would seem that the church must also learn these lessons the hard way, not stepping back far enough to look at the grande design, but straining at gnats, being only concerned with their own selfish and fleshly condition wherein they might justify themselves. But the scripture cannot be broken: In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful ...
What day? What day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful?
A: In that day SEVEN WOMEN SHALL TAKE HOLD OF ONE MAN. (ISAIAH 4)
This is the scripture that weak and worldy "pastors" have desired to relegate to a mere metaphor to avoid the angry retribution of jealous wives and covetous sinners. This is NOT a parable, but a direct prophecy from the Almighty God. The time has come to call a spade a spade and for Godly men to take back their wives and children from the idolatry of world government ideology. North America needs to put away the village idiot before they can tend to the needs of the tribes. Tribalism is godly but BIG GOVERNMENT has always been evil. Return ye to the ANCIENT LANDMARKS.
