The trinity of humanity [DIVINITY]

” What is the trinity of humanity,”one might ask? It is the flesh [body], spirit [the force within a person that is believed to give the body life energy and power] and the divinity. Divinity is the state or quality of being God (a God). In John10:34-35 Jesus answered, ”It is written in your own Law that God said, ‘you are gods’. If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken.

For many years I believed that I could be just like Jesus. I was taught in Sunday school, be like Jesus and follow Him. My innocent childish ways of thinking lead me to believe that I could really succeed to be just like Jesus; follow the ten commandments, care for others, heal them, feed the hungry, and be a sacrifice. I did, however, clearly understand that I was not going to go on a cross and be crucified like Jesus. Instead, I was to give of myself, by helping and caring for others, even when I was tired and didn’t feel like it. I grew older not only wanting to follow Jesus, but trying to live by every word of the bible like some people and some churches teach. That is when the devil saw my vulnerability and came into my life. I was confused; following and being mislead by a lot of religious people with their interpretation of the bible. When it came to Jesus, I had a personal relationship with Him that was ever so real. I felt like I knew Him and I was there in every part of the bible that was written about Him. It is strange that when I was following Jesus the devil stood on the sideline a lot and every so often he’d tried to come across and run back. But there is something about Jesus and the power he has over the devil. So gradually I’d learn to always put Jesus first then the bible. I was remembering the story of the Sons of Sceva the Jewish High Priest in the book of Acts19:13-16 They traveled around and drove out evil spirits and tried to use the name of the Lord Jesus to do it. They would say to the evil spirit,”I command you in the name of Jesus, whom Paul preaches.” But the evil spirit said to them, ”I know Jesus, and I know about Paul, but you,”who are you?” The man who had the evil spirit in him attacked them and they ran from his house wounded and with their clothes torn off. This to me is so funny, because one of the commandments stipulated not to take the name of the Lord in vain. As 2Timothy3:5 says, Having the form of godliness, but denying the power thereof.

I realized that the access to divinity was taken from us in the garden when Adam and Eve were tempted by the devil and ate of the forbidden fruit. I say this because all hell had broken loose on earth after and the paradise that God had created for us was destroyed. But Jesus, ” oh the sweet name of Jesus,” as Psalm 124:1 If it had not been for the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say. If it had not been for the Lord.” Jesus was and is, divinity in the flesh. I said [ was], because He is no longer flesh, but is now all divinity. Jesus, the son, father and holy ghost. I know that there is a lot of skepticism about the trinity, but it is up to each individual, the churches to believe or not. For what is written in the bible has many, I would say confusing statements about the trinity, for example, John1:1 In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John14:9-11 Jesus said, ” He that has seen me has seen the Father, and so how say you then, show us the Father. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me. In John10:36 Jesus also said, ” I am a blasphemous because I said, I am the son of God.” There’s no confusion with this statement of Jesus declaring He is the son of God. When God had created everything in the world He said, ”let us make man in our image, after our likeness [a god and a spirit]. God: the father, and the son. Humanity[flesh], spirit, and divinity.

I also believe that when God said He would create us in His image and likeness he also meant that we also would have His ability to create for example, housing, cars, washing machines, music, movies, clothing, all the necessities would need to live. Sometimes I believe that God placed all the knowledge in us through Him and all we really need to do is discover it. We don’t create we just discover what God has already placed. God is God alone, He creates and He can destroy. Here is where we have to know our place and not step over boundaries. In everything we are capabke of discovering[create] comes from within us and within us is divinity[God].  And that divinity within us gives us the same abilities as God when He’d say,” let there be.” God’s creative heredity, He has given man. Some people use their divinity for good and some for bad. We use our divinity for good when we trust in God and pray that He would be the one leading us and not we ourselves. We use it for bad whenever we believe to ourselves we are God and there’s none else. Which goes back to garden, and the eating of the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, when the devil tempted Eve to eat the fruit that she would be as God. Genesis 3:5 For God doth know that in the day you eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be as God. Like God has to fear us being like Him, ”really.”

Psalm8:4-6 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son, of man that thou visited him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou made him to have dominion over the works of thy hands, thou hast put all things under his feet. God is what I call supreme divinity, that not even heaven can be above HIM.

Like siblings, we all may have some abilities, characteristics or similarities to our parents. Some of us more so then the others, whether good or bad. But just imagine some of us human beings having some abilities, characteristics and similarities like our heavenly Father, who is deemed perfect in every way. We may not be perfect, but some of us do, and it is a work in progress to try and maintain it, because of the struggles and battles within us and the world[sin].Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Jesus came so He could reconcile us to God and His purpose for humanity, that we could recognize and understand that like Him, we also can be in oneness with God. And to be in oneness with God [divinity], you have to let go of certain human attributes, like anger, fear, hatred, and resentment. Here are some of the requirement of divinity according to Psalm82:3-4 Defend the poor and fatherless, do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy, rid them out of the hand of the wicked. I am not saying that Jesus came to make us Gods, God already said we were Gods. Psalm 82:6 ”I have said, “you are Gods, and all of you are children of the most High. I believe He came to ensure we were the humans we were created to be but with the ability to battle against the knowledge of good and evil that we were not to have known about in the first place. If we were to know that such knowledge and the consequences of it really was to destroy our relationship with God, had He not came we also could have destroyed ourselves. We needed to be equipped with wisdom and knowledge to renew our relationship HIM, and to rebuke the devil and his temptations through Jesus.

1John 4:4 Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. The birth and the crucifixion of Jesus was very crucial for the salvation of man. His birth filled the earth with the presence of God and His crucifixion filled the earth with the wisdom knowledge, understanding and the will of God. God, Jesus the son, the Holy ghost, and humanity came together in oneness, and that oneness is the catalyst to divinity in man, who believes that He is, worshipped and praised, the son crucified and resurrected, sent into the world, accepted, rejected ”Matthew16:13 Whom do men say that I the son of man am? And Peter answered and said, ”Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

What I’ve learned about the spirit and the body

Matthew26:41 Watch and pray, that you enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. How did this all happen? In the beginning of the creation when God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life[the spirit]. He said unto Adam, ”of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it, for in the day that you eat to it, you shall surely die.” Genesis2:7 and 17. But they were both tempted. I say “both” were tempted  because Adam called her bone of his bones and flesh of his flesh, because she was taken out of him ; and they became one. [Genesis2:23,24] They were tempted by the devil and did eat the forbidden fruit, and for this reason the war of the spirit and body began. But there is and has always been an instigator between those two; the devil.

I believe that God’s intention for us was to be somewhat like Him, but to oversee the things of the world He created. God said, ”Let us make man in our image, [a person or thing of close resemblance] after our likeness,[a semblance or guise] and let them have dominion over the fish, birds, cattle, creeping things, and over all the earth” [Genesis1:26] God is a spirit, John4:24 tells us. So if we are created in His image and likeness so was Adam and Eve before they had eaten of the forbidden fruit. Adam and Eve, I believe, were created with innocence and purity and so such was the spirit within them. They didn’t know that they were naked and they had no shame until God called onto them after they had eaten the fruit.

What people don’t realize is that because of sin, from the temptation and eating of the forbidden fruit, there arose in each and everyone of us , a division within, and without us which is spirit and flesh. It has become a battle for both the spirit and flesh to live in one accord. The serpent came that he may attack the divinity [the spirit] that God had placed in man, in His likeness and image. The true meaning of spirit to me is to be divine. I believe that Adam and Eve even though they were created from the dust of the ground they were light beings. Jesus, when he took Peter, James and John and was transfigured before them, His face did shine as the sun and his raiment was white as the light. Jesus changed on mountain of transfiguration Matthew17:1-9

The spirit only enters into the flesh once the baby is out of the mother’s womb. Take a deep breath, yes the spirit enters into the body at the first breath of a baby. The reason I say this is because while the baby is in the mother ‘s womb, the baby and the mother are one in spirit and flesh and remain that way until separation. What is  the definition of spirit, it is the nonphysical part of a person that is the seat of emotions and character; the soul. The Merriam Webster dictionary definition is: the force within a person that is believed to give the body life, energy, and power. The inner quality or nature of a person.First we must understand that spirit has no gender [male or female].It is only when it enters into the flesh [body] and with our physical eyes can we see, our hands can we touch and our ears can we hear whether it’s a boy or girl. The conflict of homosexuality, transgender and any physical or mental illnesses of the flesh is caused by the battling between the spirit and the flesh. One thing I must say is that even though spirit has no gender, it has a forms, good and bad or should I say negative and positive. The contrast between the negative and the positive is what brings life here on earth into existence,  amd they cannot exist without each other. God did not created us entirely with of spirit, we were created out of the ground of the earth, so the earth and us arenjoined together as one because we came out of it, like Eve who became one with Adam because she was created from one of his ribs. If we were created as the angels, spiritual beings of the heavenly foundation, I believe we wouldn’t suffer with the things we doas a result of our earthly foundation.

I believe that the tree of knowledge of good and evil wasn’t for us because of our inherent inability to handle such power. The spirit moves like the wind and the ray of light. The spirit moves swiftly and the body takes its time. We can see this because the body only grows in stages, like it takes nine month for a baby to be formed in its completeness. Adam was as spiritedly form, he didn’t take nine month and so was Eve. We were created part earth[body] and part spirit. When we die our body goes back to the earth and our spirit goes back to the creator [God]. Jesus came so that He can reclaim that which belongs unto God into oneness with Him. Psalm 24:1 tells us, ” The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world, and they that dwell therein.”

The story of Job wasn’t about Jobs wealth, physical body and faith in God only, it was also about his spirit. The devil was using what was around him, [family, friends and wealth] his emotional and physical body [attack of the body with diseases and his mind with vain thoughts] to show God once again, like the eating of the fruit in the garden that the creation of the spirit of man is weak and can be easily persuaded. What God didn’t do with Adam, He sure did with Job by first forming a hedge around him from the devil and installing in him spirit that cannot be moved or persuaded by the devil. God had drawn the line to the devil where man was concern in the story of Job, the code no access as literary spoken into todays vocabulary for the meaning of hedge, blockage or you are blocked from entering into.

Is the churches serving God’s purpose for it’s creation?

When Jesus asked his disciples,”whom do you say that I am?” And Simon Peter answered Him saying, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus responded with, ”Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona for flesh and blood had not revealed it unto you, but my Father which is in Heaven. Upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”[Matthew15-18]

For us to understand the purpose of the creation of the church, we must first understand who, why and what of Jesus’ arrival to Earth. The who, is the world and they that dwell there in. Why? For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.[John3:17] What for? To show and teach us the will of God. Jesus laid the foundation with his birth, resurrection and everything that took place in between. He is the physical manifestation of the will of God. And the will of God is the basis in which the churches was to be created not that of man. Man cannot save themselves, only by the will of God can we be saved.

In the book of Revelation chapters 1,2,and 3 where John was given prophetic messages to send out to seven churches telling them of God’s judgment on them and His will. He didn’t send a teaching lesson, they were given a direct command. Jesus is the one that is speaking to John and explaining to him the things in which he is seeing and the things in which to come. When I’d read these chapters in revelation about the churches Jesus is speaking to through John, I can’t help, but think what would Jesus have to say to the churches of today. I believe that quite like when Jesus pointed out to the churches all that was wrong with them and needed to be changed, it is for all churches today to check themselves in comparison to what they believe like those churches, if they are doing according to God’s will or their own. For example Revelation2:2-5 His message to Ephesus, about how hard they work with patience and the fact that they don’t tolerate evil men, tested those who say they are apostles but are liars, and they suffered for His sake and never gave up. But yet they have fallen, they don’t love him as they did at first, repent and go back to loving Him as they did.

Whenever I hear man proclaim that,” it is their church,” makes me quaver in my spirit. If they only understand the meaning of the church they wouldn’t be saying that. And for the churches that has names that has nothing to do with what the church represent or its purpose, it is like 2 Timothy 3:5 Having the form of Godliness, but denying the power thereof. When they say my congregation, for me I think that man sometimes forget that God is the one in control and gave him the honor and respect like Jesus always declares. John 12:44 He that believe on me, believe not on me, but on him that sent me. John 6:37 All that the Father give me shall come to me. The congregation is the Lords. I am not speaking of all churches being like this, but for the few that are.

Whom would or could we say really needed the church, is it the so called righteous Christians or sinners? Matthew 9:12-13 Jesus said, ”people who are well do not need a doctor, but only those who are sick. Go and find out what is meant by the scripture that says,” it is kindness that I want, not animal sacrifices. I have not come to call respectable people, but outcast.” History hasn’t changed, like in the day of Jesus with the Pharisees and the Sadducees, there are religious people today who are so self righteous and know it all when it come to God that they miss the true understanding of the teachings and will of God. Because of their ignorance they close the church doors on the ones that God sent to them, who really need to get in. Romans 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God. And I would truly believe that the church,” God’s church” should be the same.  Any and everyone no matter what should be welcome with no discrimination who is looking for solace, wisdom, knowledge and understanding in the almighty God.
