NO, you GAINED truth!!!!...EDITED

I'm a 55 year old male and suffered 51 years of suicidal Depression (I was "poor in spirit" because all the corruption of this world was "grievous" to me), so I know that that the reality of this world doesn't really offer much in the way of peace (heaven). I WAS a "Christian" since I was 32, but I finally stopped going to church 3 years ago after being an "on again, off again" backslider for 15 years.

Matthew 5:3
"Blessed are the poor in spirit...".

Ecclesiastes 2:17
"So, I hated life...".

John 12:25
"He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life".

I never was impressed by all the "religious cheerleading" and the partisan protocol in the instititutions, so I just GAVE UP trying to love the creator using books, buildings, and the so called "spirituality" of man (the 3 aspects of God explained as though the 6th day creation/man should be glorified instead of God...666) in order to know the creator.

So, for the last three years, I let GOD be my only teacher so that I could learn the "DEPTHS of God" (1 Corin. 2:10) so that I wouldn't be a 'climbing sheep' (John 10:1) and could overcome the "strong delusion" that the prideful churchgoers (intelligentsia, "master" scholars) always accepted from the modern day moneychangers since Antioch...

Acts 11:26
"and in Antioch the disciples were for the first time called Christians".

In Acts 24:22, a Roman official was speaking to Paul about Paul's devotion to Jesus...
"But Felix, having a rather accurate knowledge of THE WAY".

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

If we recognize GOD as our true heritage (instead of the Israelites, Patriarchs, etc.), we receive 'Godly common sense' (the "anointing") and will learn THE TRUTH about where we came from...

1 John 2:27
"but the anointing which you received from him abides in you, 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, just as it has taught you, abide in him".

...but first we have to CHOOSE to be INside the body of His Son (hidden and protected from the sin laws and all the worship/behavior rules)...

Acts 17:28....Inside Him...
"we live and move and have our being" (because we are now SPIRITS).

The Israelites only had the heavenly Father to worship, but now we have GOD IN ENTIRETY/completeness...

Colossians 2:9
"For in him the whole fulness of deity dwells bodily".

...so, we must understand that the bible is only the INTRODUCTORY doctrine for devotion...

Hebrews 6:1
"Therefore, we must leave the elementary doctrine of Christ...".

2 John verse 9
"and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ DOES NOT HAVE GOD; he who abides in the doctrine has BOTH the Father and the Son".

When we decide to mature in our devotion/relationship, we will no longer be "fed" with the "milk" of devotion, we will be fed "SOLID FOOD"...

Hebrews 5:14
"But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their faculties trained by practice to distinguish good from evil".

"Babes in Christ" must be TRAINED (1 Timothy 3:16) using the doctrine of Jesus, but a righteous person will know how to PROPERLY discern (ditinguish) between GOOD and what is 'NOT GOOD" (EVIL) so that the change from "good" to "evil" is clear and abrupt (so that there is NO middle ground, "no variation or shadow", James 1:17)...

Hebrews 5:14
"But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their faculties trained by practice to distinguish good from evil".

...then we will have that discerning "sword" that a Godly person should have...

Ephesians 6:17
"sword of the spirit (which is the word of God)".

God desires that OUR spirit (behavioral ways, "soul" character/demeanor) be compatible with His ways of righteousness...

Romans 8:16
"it is the Spirit himself bearing witness with OUR SPIRIT that we are children of God"....

...only then can we relate to and identify with "I am who I am" (Exodus 3:14, The Father's "forever" name, no longer "Jehovah", "Elohim", etc.).

Jesus became the new worship temple in the three days after crucifixion (the outer temple) and we each are the inner temple...

John 2:19 and 21
"three days"...."He was speaking of the temple of His body".

1 Corinthians 3:16
"Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?".

Our relationship and devotion (they are/should be integral/same) should be PRIVATE (not just PERSONAL with all of our idiosyncrasies, habits, attitudes, shortcomings, etc.),... not IDENTICAL to each other, so that God may be everything spiritual to each person....

1 Corinthians 15:28
"that God may be everything to every one".

Matthew 6:6
"But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door".

Romans 14:22
"The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God".

In their lifetime, the Israelites never had the sabbath rest of being inside Jesus's body...

Hebrews 4:3
"'They shall never enter my rest,'" although his works were finished from the foundation of the world".

...but we have God in completeness/fullness/entirety (we are NOT Jews/Israelites/Hebrews, we are modern day worshippers...

John 4:23
"True worshipers...".

...and to us "sin" has no more spiritual meaning (the word is now only a worldly figure of speech...."fashion sin", etc.). For cleansing, the Israelites needed to repeatedly make sacrifices/offerings, but we have the FINAL cleansing and should...

Hebrews 10:2
"no longer have any consciousness of sin".

When we make the choice to be inside the body of Jesus as a spirit creation (new creation), the sin laws and the worship rules are obsolete...

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

...and we must live by the PERFECT law (James 1:25)...

James 2:12
"So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty".

Jesus did the "works of God" and we should simply TRUST (let them be "manifest in" us) that we can REST/relax inside JESUS (JESUS HIMSELF is our sabbath rest, there is NO MORE sabbath DAY).

Instead of pridefully pursuing the fruits that come from (are owned and manifested by) GOD'S eternal spirit, we should have a righteousness of our own...

Ephesians 5:8 and 9
"walk as children of light (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true).

Some people have an evil lifestyle to repent of/from, but some have always preferred the heavenly ways (peace and harmony are logical, evil is illogical)...

Luke 15:7
"righteous persons who need no repentance".

Because of human nature, many people are rebellious by nature and must be forced/commanded to have peaceful regard for other people and do what is right/just (they must "OBEY" or else...an ultimatum) by doing what 'the book'/bible forces them to do, but God would like that we choose to have a better attitude.

IF we decide to "give" someone help/assistance, we will be giving WILLINGLY/cheerfully, not GRUDGINGLY (if we feel like helping at all,...mood, tired, etc.)...

2 Corinthians 9:7
"Each one must do as he has made up his mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver".

Philemon verse 14...(a good attitude)
"your goodness might not be by compulsion but of your own free will".

As far as any spiritual practice, we should not give ANYONE special treatment (SHOW partiality), the brethren of humanity that have decided to be IN CHRIST are only spiritual KIN FOLK, but should not be shown any partiality...

James 2:1
"My brethren, show no partiality as you hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory".

James 2:9
"But if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors"....(DO NOT revert to the sin law by showing partiality).

We should not love others MORE THAN we love ourselves, we should only love others AS MUCH as we love ourselves (what sane person in the world has the need or desire to show love to themselves?). God tells us to be HUMBLE, not conceited.

The modern day moneychangers use fear to keep us under their control so they will continue to get MONEY from us, so they have always used the bible as a 'rulebook' telling us that it is the FINAL AITHORITY, but the bible didn't hang on the cross and suffer the crown of thorns or the nails, spear, etc., neither did Paul, apostles, pastors, scholars, ONLY JESUS...

Matthew 28:18
"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me".

We should not know God as master/taskmaster, we should know Him in a more friendly manner as "Abba Father" (dear Father) and not as a slave/servant...

Romans 8:15
"For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the spirit of sonship. When we cry, "Abba! Father!".

Galatians 4:6
"And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!"....(NOT "master")

When we come to know God, our love for Him should become PERFECT...

1 John 4:18
"perfect love casts out fear".

...and He requires that we love Him with every fibre of our being...(leaving no room for fear)...

Mark 12:30
"with all your heart, mind, soul and strength".

It is only those who worship with "lips"/sound that live by every word that HAS PROCEEDED from God's mouth 2000 years ago and earlier...(the fear of God is taught as a routine in order to control us)...

Isaiah 29:13
"Because this people draw near with their mouth and honor me with their lips, while their hearts are far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men learned by rote".

So have a LOVE DEVOTION instead of a BOOK DEVOTION. Have a "FAITH FOR faith" (Romans 1:17) and think differently (be transformed by the renewal of your mind", Romans 12:2). Do not be a 'climbing sheep' or take the kingdom by force (the kingdom must be present/inner)...
