We might just say, seeing, that all the 'why' we ask,
is as Ray liked to say, often repeatedly in recorded sessions:
"It's always just ONE Thing", "It's One thing", "It's just one thing"
"It's all just One Thing".
As apostles would quote from the old, taking from, out of, the context in which it was relevant
and meaningful,
and applying it in the new testament,
saying that it was said for the current purpose in the new testament,
now,
with a relevance to Jesus Christ;
as though it was.... ....truer.....when applied to the Gospel
at the time the apostle pulled it out of the old testament;
reusing it for a new, fuller, truer (can we say?), spiritual purpose.
As, as if, ALL (Anything and all can be pulled out of any context)
is:
To bring the purpose of God's creation of life
to be, to become,
what God Wills for Life to be,
to become, for all.
This just brought to mind:
God works (uses, extracts, converts) ALL things to work together for God's Giving Good
for those that God Gives the ability to Love God......
It can see as if we read everything, every scripture, and communicated all else
to fit with God's Loving Truth with clear, full, understanding
we would be adding so many recognitions of God's work, the spirit of God doing the work in us,
that we would not be able to communicate effectively.
All would start to sound, be, overly redundant for anyone to want to hear and/or read.
And, it would start to sound confusing, even.
As "of myself I can do nothing but it is the spirit of the resurrected Christ doing the work, the change, the understanding,
in us ............. even to communicate a fuller, truer, way of speaking......or........writing.
I have found this to be an issue for me, in life, enjoying the act of writing by inspiration;
if I am writing to communicate a fuller, truer, communication.
Cannot count the number of times over the past decade that I have been inspired, by a topic, an inspiration,
an insight, to write at length for the purpose of sharing it widely on a website, blog, ect
and been thwarted by the degrees, levels, and intricacies of being exact in writing to best-fit
the full, true, understanding of any one topic or point.
:-) i.e., as for example, the salutation one line below includes the words "with, in, for, by, and through"
all of which have distinct, separate, meanings.
And, I mean to say, write, them all.
Now, that's not the most challenging of examples but speaks clearly to the point.
So, being an impossible task at each and every turn with each and everything,
what we do read must be understood and heard by God's spirit in us
which does, gives, the full, truer, understanding of any given topic or sentence
in what can be seen, more so, now, as the tool it is for God's revealing truth to us,
that the Bible, books of words, is.
It can be read as is but must be translated by the understanding that grows, develops,
and matures to be, to become, how and what we actually hear and read.
For this is the spirit in us, giving understanding to us,
as we are reading or hearing that which is spiritual.
So, as we mature that fuller, truer, clearer, understanding becomes more and more
who we are, who we are becoming, that child of God who hears their Loving Father
speak to us of the love and truth of life as we go and live through life;
ever-maturing by God's spirit doing the maturing in us -- :-) -- to mature us.
with, by, for, in, through,
God's Love by Christ in us
the invaluable and only true Hope we have for, in, with Life
as Family :-)
