Formed in Spirit First.
Pre-Existence in Spirit
Our Origins Formed in the Womb; Birth in the Nature of Flesh & Blood; Sons of Man – ABBA’s Predestined Plan of Mercy; Compassion Placed in the Sons of Man.
“24 Thus saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb: I am Jehovah, that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth (who is with me?);” (Is. 44.24. ASV***)
“12 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” Mat. 9-12-13. BRS***)
“6 For I desire goodness, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings. (Hos. 6.6. ASV***)
“25 And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and made trial of him, saying, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 26 And he said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? 27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself. 28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. 29 But he, desiring to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbor? 30 Jesus made answer and said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho; and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 And by chance a certain priest was going down that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 And in like manner a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he was moved with compassion, 34 and came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on them oil and wine; and he set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 And on the morrow he took out two shillings, and gave them to the host, and said, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, I, when I come back again, will repay thee. 36 Which of these three, thinkest thou, proved neighbor unto him that fell among the robbers? 37 And he said, He that showed mercy on him. And Jesus said unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.” (Lk. 10-25-37. ASV***) [Emphasis added]
Quoted above in Isaiah Chapter 45, Bullinger (ibid.) writes About this Redeemer:
“This title, when used of Christ, always has the Article; and the word for man is anthropos (see Ap. 123, I). When used of a human being, as in Ezekiel, it never has the Article (see notes on Ps. 8:4, and Ezek. 2:1). To the "first man, Adam" was given dominion over the works of the Creator (Gen. 1:26). Through the Fall (Gen. 3), this dominion was forfeited, and lost, and is now in abeyance; no one son of Adam having any right to universal dominion. Hence, all the chaos, "unrest", and conflicts between men and nations, which must continue until He shall come Whose right it is to rule in the earth (Ezek. 21:27). The great enemy, who wrought all the mischief at the Fall, has tried, from time to time, to exercise this authority by setting up some human head. He tried Nebuchadnezzar, Alexander the Great, and others, and in later days Napoleon; but he will finally succeed for a brief period with the Antichrist, until "the second man", "the last Adam" (1Cor. 15:45), "the Son of Man", to Whom all dominion in the earth has, in the counsels of God, been given, shall take unto Him His great power and reign.” (Bullinger, The Companion Bible, ibid)
ABBA’s Plan of Redemption of His Children . We Were Formed Before Birth.
From Entering in the Womb of Formation; Through Christ Jesus Giving us The Holy Spirit through Rebirth, Redemption is Now Built into Creation; of Those Born Again in Water an d Spirit.
Now is an opportune time to asks questions of the sons of man that have existed in our common experiences for over 6,000 years; since the creation of Adam and Eve. The author of this POST does not have, nor desire to answer these questions, for as Voltaire once wrote: I admire a man more for the questions that he asks, than for the answers he might offer:
·Did the realm of spirit exist before the creation of “flesh and blood”? If so, what was the name of that realm?
Did God create our spirit before our “flesh and blood” form? Did that spirit have a name?
Did God create each of us a unique “flesh and blood” creates from spirit? Did God call us by a name before we were created in “flesh and blood” form?
Did God have a word for redemption in His language before the creation of Adam and Eve, or did He make the word up afterward. If so what was that word?
Did God have a word for Holy Spirit before our creation in “flesh and blood”? If so what was that word?
Did God have a word for Adversary before the Adversary asked for permission to test Job? If so, what was that name.
Did God have a word for Law, before Adam and Eve? What was its name, and why?
Did ABBA have words for natural laws such as gravity, weight, substance, chemical affinity, magnetism, light, darkness, radiance, motion, centrifugal, centripetal, whirlwind, rain, dew, evaporation, heat before Creation? What were those words, and why did he create them? Do they appear in ABBA’s Word?
And … that is just a few of many questions.
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.” 14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing promised to Abraham would come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.” (Gal. 3.13-14. BRS***). [Emphasis added]
6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. (Mal. 3.6 KJV)
9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, 10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: (Is. 46.9-10 KJV)
1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2 the same came unto him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that thou doest, except God be with him. 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God! 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born anew. 8 The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. (Jn. 3.1-8 ASV***)
ABBA Through Christ Jesus, Dwells in Us, And Sends the Holy Spirit to Us, Who Now Dwells In Us.
18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 In a little while the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 On that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you. 21 Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him.” 22 Judas (not Iscariot) asked Him, “Lord, why are You going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus replied, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. 24 Whoever does not love Me does not keep My words. The word that you hear is not My own, but it is from the Father who sent Me. 25 All this I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you.” (Jn. 12.18-26. BRS***) [Emphasis added].
Peace be upon you and your families. Grace is all. JT
