God Will Validate and Verify!!!
But before I go on, I must take accountability for the thing that I said. Being corrected, I need to apologize. Before listening to Celestial of “The Master’s Voice Prophecy Blog” recently, I stated that I could not even listen to someone that attempts to come to me with any depiction of Jesus, particularly Sallman's version of the "Head of Christ". But credit must be given, that part of the European nations' legacy is the fact that they, regardless of intent, were willing to take the gospel all over the world, "enlightening countless others".
She confirmed what bothers me most, and that is that we don't take the time to study the Word and know Him for ourselves. As she affirmed it with this statement, "The Gospel has to be separated from its historical past. Using Jesus as a coverup for colonization, oppression, or for anything else, does not negate the fact that truth is truth and that Jesus is Jesus...". I agree fully with this. I have repented and I apologize. I also need to be reminded that this is exactly what I believe, although not said by me verbatim, and how frustrating it is to me when black people doubt Jesus, with phrases similarly stating that this book was written by the "white man". I don’t want to deter anyone from finding Jesus, because as we mature in Him, we come into the truth in our own times and in our own individualized ways. While learning that it is always wise to be swift to hear and slow to speak. Carefully discerning our own thoughts and opinions, that may not align with His Word.
Listen to Paul's confirmation. “Some, it is true, are [actually] preaching Christ out of envy and rivalry [toward me—for no better reason than a competitive spirit or misguided ambition], but others out of goodwill and a loyal spirit [toward me]. The latter [preach Christ] out of love, because they know that I have been put here [by God on purpose] for the defense of the gospel; but the former preach Christ [insincerely] out of selfish ambition [just self-promotion], thinking they are causing me distress in my imprisonment. What then [does it matter]? So long as in every way, whether in pretense [for self-promotion] or in all honesty [to spread the truth], Christ is being preached; and in this I rejoice” (Philippians 1: 15-18, KJV).
God continues to put great emphasis on the importance of obedience. The Holy Spirit has given me the understanding that when God placed Adam and his wife in the garden of Eden, it was a place of protection from the evil that roamed the earth. A territory and boundary unto them. That is why they were told not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
The Book of Jasher distinguishes that because of their disobedience God was vexed. “And Adam and his wife transgressed the command of God which He commanded them, and God knew it, and His anger was kindled against them and he cursed them” (Jasher 1: 11). Some may look and attempt to dispute this reminding us, “And unto Adam He said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;” (Genesis 3: 17, KJV).
Don’t let the enemy deceive you, Adam was created from the dust of the earth and Eve from his bone. It is this proximity that bound the curse unto all men. Not just the ground. Establishing the continual atonement of animal sacrifices, that could not be made obsolete, until the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ was made, when He died for our sins.
