God's simple plan that we learn to govern ourselves.

Mankind has complicated the understanding about the creator so much.

The creator's name forever is "I am who I am" (Exodus 3:14).

In the old way of worship, we werent able to return to Him because the law of commandments made us ineligible (impure), so He sent His son to purify us (simple? yes, but mankind complicates this understanding).

That doesn't mean we can just go around causing violence and evil, no, we have to be "good and right and true" (Ephesians 5:8) so other people can enjoy their own life also (simple, yes, but mankind has complicated this understanding also).

Satan doesn't cause evil (he can only TEMPT), each person is responsible for their own actions. Satan has always been used as a scapegoat (another simple understanding that mankind has self-servingly hidden).

I think we tend to run into alot of distractions and misunderstandings when we go the intellectual route. Understandably, it is a natural outcome of our enthusiasm in devotion, but it is misleading when we decide to satisfy our "human" nature (the flesh).

The knowledge gained in the Garden of Eden (knowledge of good and evil) is what we need to learn to use properly...

Hebrews 5:14

"But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their faculties trained by practice to distinguish good from evil".

When we are trained (2 Timothy 3:16) as babes in Christ (1 Corinthians 3:1) with the doctrine of Christ (Hebrews 6:1), we are "fed" with "milk", but then we must move on to "solid food" and train our faculties (the "renewal of the mind", Romans 12:2) in order to have a more mature relationship/devotion.

Of course it is always necessary to know right from wrong in order to be Godly, but "right/wrong" is only MAN'S "CODE of MORALITY".

God's intention for humanity is that we all live together peacefully (peaceful coexistence) and in harmony with each other. Therefore, He recognizes only two states of existence...

1) what is "GOOD" is......."ACCEPTABLE"

...and

2) what is "NOT GOOD" is "unacceptable" (EVIL).

Mankind's code of right/wrong "morality" can be faulty and often include what we call "naughty", "sneaky", "a necessary evil", and many other excuses that we use to justify "variations" (James 1:17) based on what we each have decided to call "peace" (human nature is that "individuals" are in competition with each other).

This is why He says that...

Matthew 10:34

"Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword"..............(the discerning "sword" of a Godly nature/spirit/character).

Ephesians 6:17

"sword of the spirit (which is the word of God").

God always wanted us to have this understanding of how to properly use the information gained in the Garden so that we would be able to properly govern ourselves (and our desire should be the same also).

1 Kings 3:9

"Give thy servant therefore an understanding mind to govern thy people, that I may discern between good and evil".

So, forget all of man's "gobbledegook" and everything taught by the "church of MAN" (the apostate church that began in Antioch)...

Acts 11:26
"were for the first time called CHRISTIANS".

Acts 24:22
"had a rather accurate knowledge of THE WAY".

In John 14:6, Jesus said "I am THE WAY...".

We should have a "faith FOR FAITH" (Romans 1:17, Hebrews 11:6) based on "the GREATEST of these" (1 Corinthians 13:13) so that instead of "taking the kingdom by force" (Matthew 28:18) with rules, gestures, procedures, etc. while "forcing" ourselves to OBEY "commands"/commandments that have been abolished, we are free to WILLINGLY be peaceful and Godly letting other people live their lives in peace also and enter the kingdom "by the door" (John 10:1 and 9).

Ephesians 2:15
"by abolishing in his flesh the law of commandments and ordinance".

We should live under the PERFECT law ("law of liberty"/freedom (James 1:25 and 2:12) and know God as "Abba Father" (dear father, Galatians 4:6) and in a friendly manner (James 2:23) without having ANY fear of Him (1 John 4:18, Mark 12:30). Jesus did all of the "works" (John 6:28 and 9:3) necessary and we should simply REST in Him (He is our sabbath REST, no more sabbath DAY). We should not go to buildings or even pray in public (John 2:19, 21 and Matthew 6:6).


1 John 2:27
"and you have no need that any one should teach you; as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie".

Realizing the seed of our heritage (the "anointing"), will teach us the truth about the creator (the "depths of God", 1 Corinthians 2:10).

Is His plan simpler now?.

Peace and harmony are logical, evil is illogical.
