ARE WE PURELY ORGANIC?

ACCORDING TO the New Testament:
We are “one in Christ” and commanded to walk “with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love,
ENDEAVORING to KEEP THE UNITY of the Spirit in the bond of peace>” Apostle Paul Ephesians 4:2-3.
(THIS is an affirmation of PSALM 133 (the Psalm about UNITY “where God COMMANDS HIS BLESSING…”)
WE ARE INTENDED, designed by God, meaning in the New Testament sense, to be “without party spirit, minus division, schism” and (as mentioned above, walking in UNITY.
AND THIS HOLY BIBLE IMPARTIAL SCRIPTURE pertains to each of the following:BOOK OF EPHESIANS 1:6, 2:14, whole chapter 4, humble 5:21:
5 Fold office head leaders
Lower level, second tier and following leaders
Lay, In church or outside
Males and Females
Old and the Young
Rising, Junior, Future Senior Ministers
Professing Christ followers of all diverse, international, national, local, RACIAL, POLITICAL, SOCIOECONOMIC, many KINDS.
DISCERNMENT, PERCEPTION SELAH: IS IT POSSIBLE to have many CHURCHES and many who choose not to go to any kind of formal CHURCH, and still not have a feeling of “CHRIST FOLLOWING UNIFIED COMMUNITY?”
AND SELAH WONDERING: HOW CAN ONE ENGENDER “Unified, Diverse, Pure Community” minus superior spiritual pride, rivalry, competition, accuser labeling ministry doctrines, abiding mistrust and accusative traditions, abusive bias, remaining prejudices, religious/ministry stereotypes and accusing FEAR?
FOR PURPOSES OF ASSISTING IN PROPAGATING A CHRIST FOLLOWING “PURELY ORGANIC” TOTALLY UNIFIED CROSS CULTURAL ATTENDING, NON ATTENDING, TRUE BODY
1. WE EACH SHOULD pause to identify false doctrines now being propagated, widely accepted in our own Christian worship culture.
ONE HELPFUL TIP: Discern between the TRUE, “organic” Bible ones (partially) asking DO THESE BIBLE DOCTRINES and DO THE SPIRITUAL FRUITS ENGENDERED BY THESE BIBLE TEACHINGS role model CHRIST the MESSIAH who role modeled ISAIAH 11:2-3, JAMES 3:17
ISAIAH 11:2-3“And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;
And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:”
JAMES 3:17“But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.”
And while THE MESSIAH, THE CHRIST was unconditionally forgiving, willing to walk the extra mile, turn the other slapped cheek SWEET CHRIST CHILD MESSIAH /JESUS, after He matured and grew up…He also ( meaning: per as God specifically fine tune instructed) stood up to righteously UPFRONT FELLOW SENIOR MINISTER CONFRONT when He rose up to toss over the temple money makers cushy tables.
STILL in all of His leader “zeal for His Father’s (accepting) House,” not ONCE did the taking action MESSIAH antihero role model the religious ACCUSER. (Meaning: though surely His specific action made Jesus unpopular, probably embarrassed His loving mother, his siblings, the disciples, JESUS CHRIST never resorted to violence, demeaning accusation, verbal abuse, and neither did Christ orchestrate ANY of His followers to hold placards and/or to loudly mock, revile or accuser name call the Temple High Priests as they walked into their workplace.
IN FACT the BOOK OF REVELATION chapter 12, we observe that when JESUS CHRIST, the nonaccuser MESSIAH was “SENT” He won the eternal spiritual victory OVER ‘death and accusation” then directly handed over the ABILITY to NOT LOSE SPIRITUAL SELF GOVERNMENT (Self control) AND ALSO the ability to walk in agape, enduring God’s LOVE, while at the same time bearing up when /if under ACCUSATION.
APOSTOLIC REVELATION 12: 7-11
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
MAIN KEY: REVELATION 12: 11
11 And they overcame HIM**(the accuser, mind blinder, deceiver,etc) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
** MANY PREACHERS,IMPRESSIVE TEACHERS, SONG WRITERS omit the extremely important ONE WORD “HIM”..they simply teach about “overcoming all sort of fiery trials, long suffering…but they FAIL TO INCLUDE the main ministry word “HIM” (we have been giving what is called in Matthew 16:19 the Bible “KEYS OF THE (SPIRITUAL) KINGDOM”…
WE MUST CONCLUDE: How may the long suffering true born again CHURCH accurately resemble the apostolic servant leader MESSIAH, THE CHRIST unless they resemble the “WHOLLY, PURELY ORGANIC” REAL ONE as portrayed in ALL of the BIBLE..both the (prophetic) OLD but mainly in the apostolic(Jesus Christ RISEN and WE ARE NOW “EPHESIANS 1 SEATED WITH HIM IN VICTORY” as well as “NO MORE ACCUSER” abiding SELF GOVERNING LEADERSHIP, WILLING LAY, POWER…
FINALLY, we each need to review Paul’s BOOK OF EPHESIANS whole (meaty) chapter 4.
ENTIRE EPHESIANS CHAPTER 4: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians+4%3A4&version=NKJV
SUMMARY: The ENTIRE “Christ Following Body”(leaders/lay) are to walk in “meekness and lowliness” in unity (v. 2-3) but with “commonly identified, unifying, clear BASIC COMMONLY ACCEPTED DOCTRINE” (Ch 4 “one Lord, one faith, one baptism, etc)
PLEASE NOTE: that the First Church Apostles also had HEBREWS 6:1-2 “Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.”
ALL OF THE ABOVE (Identified as COMMONLY ACCEPTED DOCTRINE) would then, at least in the IFFM MINISTRIES, ongoing referred to as FIRST TIER /FIRST LEVEL DOCTRINES..Meaning: ones which, if truly in a person’s heart ongoing BELIEVED, meaning: acted UPON, would then serve to prove, to identify that said HUMAN PERSON as an official “CHRIST FOLLOWER”…but (the writer must point this out.) would apply to ANY..be the an official “ORGANIZED CHURCH MEMBER” or not…
(For persons who doubt, please politely send me NEW TESTAMENT, not under the LAW specific passages)..but FIRST please read and SELAH what now follows:
USING HUMAN LOGIC
Thus, WHEN AND IF.. the FIRST TIER APOSTOLIC LEADER(OFFICE) DOCTRINES are “commonly agreed upon “(as previously just stated) THEN THIS IMPLIES that all other local church, personal, 5 fold office ministry, even national leader, denominational, very high visibility oracle office APOSTOLIC CHURCH DOCTRINES would be referred to (and in a moment explained) SECOND TIER, SECOND LEVEL, even “PET” (privately, ministry office, local, national office, entire group) REVEALED (good and true doctrines) and then the last category would be ERROR, MIXTURE, CONFUSED, even accuser, leader FALSE UNTRUE, NOT LINING UP WITH GOD’S HOLY WORD subjective leader, adulterous, doctrine.
- FOR THE SAKE OF BREVITY in this already lengthy article, we shalL NOT delve into the murky subject of FALSE DOCTRINES right here today…
-
I SHALL proceed to “GO THERE” to now present this as a IFFM MINISTRY SELAH point of view..for Noble Berean Bible research, and picking out what each READER perceives as (True) HAY or (errant) STUBBLE…
MAIN POINT: NOTE: The writer now ONLY addresses HOLY BIBLE “TRUE” FIRST NEW TESTAMENT COMMONLY HELD SECOND LEVEL (PET, REVEALED) MINISTRY /POP WORSHIP CULTURE DOCTRINES….
IFFM MINISTRIES believes that SECOND TIER (common, widespread BUT NOT MANDATORY..meaning: so nobody anywhere would dare use them to judge, accuse or condemn, even spread (petty) church GOSSIP all about IF or IF NOT any one group, one ministry, one senior office or one lay person, be they CHURCH GOER or NOT…
.….based on the SECOND LEVEL (SECOND LEVEL GOOD DOCTRINES: “each person gets to pray and pick and chose..while being balanced with the Holy fear of the Lord AND a wise knowledge that one day they (and each one of us) will have to stand ALONE before THE LORD to give an answer to HIM about how WE made the CHOICE to comport each of our (presumably non-self righteous) own selves.
WHAT THE WRITER WOULD note as SECOND LEVEL commands, doctrines, and pet ministry subgroup devoted doctrines:
- Hair style, dress, appearance
-
Choice of day, times, length, style of worship
-
Mixing in Old Testament Levitical Law in with New Testament Jesus Freedom …or else NOT
.4. Views of males, females marriage, family, church, ministry roles
- Spiritual authority, spiritual covering..less, more, not
-
Different spiritual warfare, prayer teachings
-
Use of media or not
-
Regarding divorced persons in ministry, congregation
-
The time allocated to Bible teaching VS worship music
-
The role of money,taking tithes/ offerings, time allowed, apostolic teaching
-
Obeying the command to “not forsake fellowshipping with the saints”..yet minus all accusation, legalism, nosy busy body, self appointed over seer, minding all other’s bees wax Phariseeism..
(IFFM will address this a LOT MORE..and model it (God granting His GREAT GRACE) but over in IFFM D-LOF www.dfwlof.org
(AND TOO MANY MORE TO LIST IN ONE ARTICLE)
**IFFM MINISTRIES believes that IF THE TRUE CHURCH can discern then commonly address FIRST LEVEL DOCTRINES VS PET /REVEALED BUT IN THE BIBLE DOCTRINES down at lay, grass roots, national levels, it will assist MAJORLY in helping Christ’s True SAINTS accurately represent and hero role model the nonaccuser MESSiAH rather than the nonaccepting ACCUSER.
***This will serve to make JESUS HOUSE and HIS GOOD NAME much more widely respected and deemed as safe, healthy and over all accepting.
READ EPHESIANS 4:13-15:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
MAIN MINISTRY POINT: ACCORDING to EPHESIANS 4:12-15) this DIVERSE, UNCONDITIONALLY ACCEPTING, spiritually /emotionally MATURE and WISE “VERY MULTICULTURAL CHRIST FOLLOWING COMMUNITY” will produce a local, then regional, then national abiding spiritual FRUIT of the following:
V. 13 We’ll have Cross Body True UNITY of the “COMMONLY ACCEPTED POINTS OF CHRIST FOLLOWING FAITH”
V3. There will be a widespread, corporate understanding, “well of knowledge” of MESSIAH (Son of God, Christ Jesus) (meaning an ACCURATE, TRUE, “PURELY ORGANIC” Spiritual Fruit PORTRAIT of SON OF GOD will be then locally, grass roots, ministerially, corporately, portrayed.
V.13 “the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ” meaning: that is won’t be lopsided, fragmented, divided but also denying the wholly ORGANIC nonaccuser Messiah who resembled BOTH the aforementioned “SWEET BABY JESUS, MEEK AND MILD” …
…..but also the RISE UP in unconditional, UP FRONT (Matthew 18:15-18″) leader mature, fully respectful, non-accuser, accepting,TOUGH LOVING ENOUGH to hold Adam accountable way back in the Beginning over in GENESIS 3 (The Father’s only SON resembles HIS FATHER who upfront (respectfully) ADAM in the GARDEN in Gen. 3:9)
ANY respectful James 3:17 SELAH PITHY COMMENTS?
