Judy, Let me sum up what I am saying, and then I will close with a couple
of
words about finding reconciliation in the midst of impasse.
When Jesus tore into this world through the
hymen (or veil or curtain) of the
virgin Mary, he came covered from head to toe in
the blood of the world. Not
only covered was he, but the same blood was running
through his veins. It
had to be because it had to be the blood of not
only the last woman, the
virgin Mary, it had to be because it had to be the
blood of the first woman,
Eve. How do we know this? because it had to be
her Seed that would bleed.
JT: Her spiritual seed Bill. Look at the contrast between the two
Adams in the
book of Romans and in 1 Corinthians. The first was natural and the
second
spiritual.
WT: When Jesus tore out of this world through
the veil (or curtain or hymen) of
the temple, he left again covered in blood from
head to toe. But the blood of the
Temple that killed the
tomb, is greater than the blood of the world that spilled
from the womb.
The blood of Jesus is the blood of Life,
because it is the Father's
blood too! It is the blood that defeats the blood
of the world -- purified now,
perfected now,
vivacious now, victorious now, because it is resurrected now.
JT: Interesting play on words Bill but meaningless. To begin with the
Father
has no blood. God is spirit (John 4:24). Jesus is the one with the
blood and
His blood is eternal - it was all those things before the
resurrection. The
apostle Peter tells us that we are "not redeemed by corruptible things
as
silver and gold from our vain conversation received from tradition by the
fathers;
but with the "precious blood of Christ" without blemish and without
spot"
(1 Peter 1:19)
WT: That is the blood that now covers us.
That blood is now the blood running
through our veins. That blood is the blood of new birth, new creation, newness
of Life, born from above in the resurrection of his
blood, the blood of Jesus Christ.
JT: That blood does not cover us, nor does it run through our veins Bill.
The
new birth is spiritual and the blood of Jesus remains in the heavenly
tabernacle.
It is the sacrifice we come to when we need to be forgiven and it cleanses
our
conscience from dead works so that we might serve the living God
(Heb 9:14,
Heb 10:2,22). The blood running through my veins right now is mine, not
his
and it has a medical problem, his blood is perfect.
WT: Where is this in Scripture? It is
everywhere. From beginning to end, it's
everywhere. Don't
parse this. Don't deny it. Don't kill it. Don't hang it on a
tree.
Believe this Truth and live!
JT: This is not scriptural Bill - this is the theory of certain
theologians. If it
were truth you could show me in the Bible where to find it and it would
not
conflict with any other parts of the Bible. I don't need to parse
anything.
WT: How do Christians embody the reconciliation of Jesus Christ when
caught themselves in the fray of impasse? They do what God did in Christ
in the reconciliation of the world.
JT: They speak the truth in love and leave the results with God.
WT: They do not hunker down and try to disappear, nor do they attack
and smear. They do not insult. They do not continue in darkness when
the Light of the world shines upon them. They do
not refuse the Spirit of Truth.
No. The reconciliation of the world culminates in its
forgiveness, "Father
forgive them, for they know not what they do." In other words, the
judgment
looks like mercy. The world was wrong, the world was guilty, the world
was
deceived; nevertheless, the world was forgiven.
JT: The world is released to receive God's forgiveness because Christ
has
paid the price for their sin but the majority still reject Him.
WT: How does this reconciliation look in the face of impasse? It looks
like
mercy. Judy, I forgive you.
JT: What have I done Bill to warrant this forgiveness?
WT: Perhaps we will meet again on a less volatile plain,
JT: I don't expect a response to this message Bill - I find it sad
that
professing believers are unable to come to God's Word and discuss it
in a
reasonable and rational manner - We won't be judged in the last day by a
theory from any of the theologians; it is this Word that will
judge us in
the last day (John 12:48), we choose who we will follow.
Grace and Peace,
Judy
