Taking very image of things when reading the scriptures is what kills any chance of understanding the spiritual truth which gives life to the words of the Old Testament.

Hebrews 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

Religious scholars and experts and indeed anyone in the pride of their heart will debate and argue with people all day if given a chance, to no profit, because their words and understanding are of the flesh.

John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

They assume they're able ministers of the New Testament, when they don't even understand the Old Testament.

1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

And how could they, when they can only discern with the flesh and not the spirit.

2 Corinthians 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

They are of the letter, and are those who strive over words and interpretation to no profit.

2 Timothy 2:14-16 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

As you can see here, the point of rightly diving the word of truth is to paint a whole picture to bring about a greater understanding in people.

Luke 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

People who want to argue and debate, have no intention of bringing anyone understanding, they in the pride of their hearts just want to be right, and have the respect of persons, and will lie to your face to feel that way, and if they don't succeed they'll be angry and probably insult you.

Matthew 12:36-37 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Especially on the internet which gives people a false sense of security from facing the consequences of their words.

2 Peter 1:20-21 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

They want you to believe their own interpretations of the scriptures, interpretations they have been indoctrinated with by others. Then falsely claim that they have the Holy Ghost, assuming the Holy Ghost is something to be had or owned. I can assure you it is not. The prophets were moved by it, but they didn't have it, nor could they spiritually perceive the very words wrote by their own hands. So seriously, what hope does anyone else without direct intervention from the Father. So Jesus was sent into the word to open people's eyes.

Matthew 13:17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

People value their thoughts and opinions way too much, which are the things which keep people eyes shut.

Matthew 19:23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Such a great possession of that man has rich in the knowledge of the earth, and he can't give it up, and as such they cannot enter heaven, because Satan has yet to be cast down from it.

Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

Remember as written, the letter killeth the truth. So, what is the letter and the religious doing to the Kingdom of Heaven?

Matthew 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

So while Satan is in the seat of our minds, in our Kingdom, our nation, our mind is veiled and cannot enter into the Kingdom to spiritually perceive and discern the letter which kills the truth of the spirit. Because people can only see the shadow, the darkness and not the light.

2 Corinthians 3:14-16 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.

Unfortunately, people think turning to the Lord is just believing and praising his name, especially after hearing men in buildings talk about God, and talk about Jesus.

1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

What are people listening to men for if they have the Holy Ghost? Spirit comforts the spirit, not man, who only comforts the flesh.

John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

So if the Holy Ghost teaches men, then the point of religion doctrine seems redundant really. So who are the blind who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit, which leads to damnation for the rest of this life, and in the life to come.

Matthew 5:26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

Damnation means to pay a penalty, and it means people will receive the plagues of the book, that strong delusion that makes people believe the lie.

2 Thessalonians 2:10-13 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

This is the place where all people are damned to under that strong delusion, since they rather follow the blind into the pit.

Acts 10:34-36 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)

Which is why God is no respecter of persons, especially when we have the mystery of iniquity at work in us, loving the darkness more than the light. Loving unrighteousness which of our heart, and not the righteousness of the spirit.

Isaiah 42:16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

When those crooked things have been made straight, the darkness is as the light, because our spirits will be able to discern and see the light in the darkness.

Psalm 139:12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

And like a good householder, a man in command of his heart, will bring forth treasure both from the New Testament and the Old Testament, since the Father will have filled the heart and mind with his knowledge.Adding all things, which his revelation, his anointing that people should be aiming to receive, instead of performing an earthly ritual with literal oil. Which is also the letter will killeth the truth, since it is of the flesh.

Matthew 13:52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

Sadly, there is a plague in our house, and the robbers and thieves have torn it asunder. And for it to be fit to live in again, all of the rubbish, those old valued possessions need to be tossed out, and filled with new furniture.

Matthew 24:43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

Regardless of our station in life, from beggar to Queen, from murderer to Doctor, we are all victims of Satan's deceit in Heaven, and through ourselves and all of mankind, he has broken all our houses and stolen our goods.

Matthew 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

Through religious and philosophical doctrine, the knowledge of the Kingdom of Heaven and the Father righteousness has been shut up to man, and none can enter in and in turn receive heavenly knowledge off him, that makes foolish the wisdom of men.

Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

We're completely disconnected from our spirit, and thus from God, who renews it, and none are asking for the above, because they believe their religion or beliefs already makes them a good person.

Mark 10:18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

So why would people aim to be righteous when people falsely believe that they are good already?

Romans 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

Righteousness is gifted, not developed, no not here in the flesh. People confuse it for morals which are of the flesh, and we all know how flexible they can be when it suits us. Fact is true righteousness and spiritual knowledge comes from within.

Luke 17:20-21 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

But instead of going inwards, we look outwards to the world and towards the knowledge of men. Whose knowledge is of the heart, of man's own understanding. So we are subject to Satan's rule while we dwell on the Earth, for rules all the hearts of men. So until we cast Satan out of Heaven, like lightning, we will always be ruled by him, by our own hearts, which we falsely believe are good and yet are evil.

Job 26:12-14 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud. By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent. Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?

Hence the deceit in our minds, our spirit, which is Heaven, and that crooked serpent is enticing us all to eat from its tree of knowledge of good and evil continuously.

Revelation 12:9 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.

And Satan's angels, are;

Genesis 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Our very own thoughts and ideas. Those things which torment us and plague us, causing us internal suffering, and even worse, when we are fully lead by our own thoughts and feelings, we can cause serious harm to those people around us. The simple fact is, that the only thing that makes us different from one another are the types of thoughts we have and the strength of emotions connected to those thoughts. Regardless of all that, those thoughts still come from the same source of evil which dwells in every creature on this earth.

Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
