The whole purpose of our existence here is to know good and be good. Being fruitful and multiplying in righteousness. When in the light, which is Heaven, all there is good. Problem is we desired to know both good and evil, and so to fulfill that desire in all who reside in the Earth, we were cast out into the darkness, the bottomless pit, where the Earth resides in the midst of.

Genesis 1:3-5 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

So here we are getting our just deserts knowing good and evil and doing good and evil, just like the Lord God, who created the living soul for the purpose of just that.

Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

And thus in the spirit we died. No longer knowing only good, but knowing good and evil also.

Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

A tree which we eat from continuously, the knowledge of good and evil from our own hearts, a heart whose imagination is evil from its youth.

Genesis 8:21 And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

A creation the Lord God realizes is evil, and regrets making, and so he flooded the Earth in his own evil hoping to start afresh. Unfortunately it is tough to be very good, while having the knowledge of evil. Like mixing a glass of pure water with mud, it cannot help but become contaminated, and unclean to drink. So here in the flesh where we are expelled from God we must learn to purify ourselves.

1 Thessalonians 5:21-22 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil.

When reading the scriptures you should take the good, and cast aside the bad. Those tares amongst the wheat. Because they have been many deletions, false translations, and outright lies (Eternal damnation) added to scripture. This was known, so the true knowledge was sealed and hidden behind parables, and similitude's that can only be revealed by the Father. But FIRST one must connect with him, in the correct way that Jesus taught.

Matthew 13:24-26 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: (The Good News, what Jesus taught) But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. (The devil) But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. (All religion) So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

So when you read about the deeds and the words of the Lord God, whose ways are crooked, to make straight you should only take the good, the wheat into the barn. Problem is most take the bad also, and then try and justify that evil, since that evil came by the will of the Lord God. A Lord God who also needed to be redeemed himself, his ways made straight.

Ecclesiastes 7:13 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?

The Lord God wasn't all good, he was both good and evil as he said himself.

Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

The Lord God is not the Father who Jesus spake of. NONE knew of the Father before Jesus came into the flesh.

John 5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

The whole purpose of Jesus being sent was to teach people how to connect with the Father, instead of following the words of the Lord God which were crooked, and plenty of people had heard the Lord's voice, especially the Prophets, who prophesied about the Lord, but yet didn't have knowledge of the Father. The Father worked through the Lord, and even the Lord didn't know. Because through him, in his mystery he set away for all to be redeemed, and since he was the cause of the fall, he had to be redeemed first.

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.

Because the knowledge of the Father wasn't given in those times, and the mystery of the Father, the living God of Heaven is hid in God, so you have to seek him out, within in spirit. It is that which makes plain the scriptures which only can be seen by most people in parables, to others they'll see things plainly, which will make no sense who can't see. They'll take the very image of  things. Seeing only the shadow, and not the light (Knowledge) contained within. If you want to see the light, then seek the Father within. Your praises of Jesus and your proclamations of belief in God, and claims of having the Holy Spirit won't help you here.

Mark 4:11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

For example, the chosen people, the Jewish people were told to circumcise their young, and not to eat unclean food, like pigs. That is a parable, in the Law and the Prophets, a shadow of good things to come, but not the VERY image of. And since this Law was given by the prophet Moses, given unto him by the Lord God, all men followed.

Romans 2:27-29 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

When we circumcise our hearts in the spirit, we no longer continue to eat the hearts unclean food, those apples from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Colossians 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:

So the true chosen people are those who have done just that. Hence why Jesus was called the King of the Jews, but not in the way the flesh would think.

Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

And before one eats the hearts unclean food and starts the lean into antisemitism, ALL are of the synagogue of Satan, because we all worship within our own hearts and follow after our hearts lusts, which are uncircumcised. Remember, WHAT makes men lie, steal, cheat, murder, rape, etc, etc. That is what you must circumcise yourself from.

John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

And to expound on that source of evil thoughts, Jesus made it quite clear where it came from.

Matthew 15:16-20 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

Those who follow Judaism, Christians, Muslims, Sikhs, Buddhists and all other religions, ideologies and Earthly cultures are all of the synagogue of Satan. So those things which rule over our spirit must be cast out of the Father's house which is the spirit.

2 Corinthians 10:3-6 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

In short, you must flee to the mountain. Your Holy place, the place of peace, spiritually called Jerusalem. Your spirit. The sad reward of the religious is that when they read they think they know, not knowing that ALL of what Jesus taught and did was a parable about the spirit, and thus the main work in them goes undone, typically as with all people they focus on the man and not the message. The VERY image of. Similar to those who are waiting for some third temple to be built.

Matthew 24:15-18 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

That which makes the spirit desolate, the abominations from the heart (Judaea, House, Clothes) must be cut off and cast out from that holy place within us. (Have you read and understood?) Because the Father will not occupy the same place as mammon, because your enemies are of your own household, not the VERY image of your own brother, sister and mother.

Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

As Jesus demonstrated as a parable.

Matthew 21:12-13 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

So when you see evil in mind, cast it out, by turning to the Father and asking for him in the spirit, to overcome that evil.  Keep watch at all times, lest the thieves and robbers spoil your house while you sleep. That is resisting the devil, and then the devils temptations will flee from you, and your house will become cleaner. Choose the good always and hold fast to it.

Psalm 34:14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

You will fail many times, but one cannot be right without first being wrong, and you cannot succeed without first learning from failures, as the Lord himself found out.

James 4:7-10 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

Can people not see how Jesus fulfilled the Law, after having his ways made straight?

Jeremiah 32:42 For thus saith the Lord; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.
