Is there a Substitute for God?  By David Raphael Klein

A provocative inquiry into our present confused state of belief

 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Yes, There is. Jt. 2003


David Raphael Klein, a writer of fiction and nonfiction, is currently at work on a book dealing with what he feels are the least understood of the vital issuers of our time.   The article is a chapter from the forthcoming book.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

It is hard to say where it started. With Gutenberg? Galileo? The industrial revolution? Darwinism? Somewhere along the way, Western man began to lose his belief in God as a personal force, as decider of his fate, as ultimate judge of his actions.  The idea that God created man became old fashioned, we evolved. The notion of Hell was picturesque, but not longer compelling. Life began to be seen as more or less accidental, sin became a relative, sociological matter, and to many a pure fiction. After millenniums of living under gods, man came to regard such belief as archaic and superstitious. Like a son who decides he need not depend upon his father any longer, he set forth to make his own way in the world.

     He still believed in right and wrong, and he still knew when he was doing wrong, as he saw it, but he no longer believed he had offended God by it or incurred His punishment. In fact, there was no punishment, he only felt guilty, or resolved not to do wrong again.

     The difference between living this way, and trying to live righteously because God commands it is profound. A man could now do anything he wanted, subject only to the laws of the land and his own judgment.  Yet this judgment he   had formed in part from parents and institutions whose outlook was still religious. So, although he has denied the basis of the morality of his forebears, such a man still acts in its terms. He obeys the Commandments without believing they were commanded, he speaks of right and wrong in the framework of conviction  he no longer possesses, he acts according to a Judeo-Christian ethic, although he has abjured the belief.

    How did he manage to get into such a contradictory position?

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

     The Pollster is the Prophet. Just as some primitive people have accepted Christianity by transposing their old gods onto the new religion, so have many moderns transposed their inherited ethic onto another structure: the needs of society. What used to be an offense against God became "anti-social"; a sin became a crime;  religious precepts governing conduct became matters of hygiene, efficiency or social value. Stealing was bad because honesty in the best policy.  You tried to avoid being unfaithful to your mate because it might harm her relationship. If you attended religious services, it was to respect a tradition. Virtue became its own inexplicable reward, for there was no other.

     A societally-based ethic such as this is variable according to time, place and circumstance. There are no absolutes in it, and it has no clear, codified  system. Opinion becomes the basis of the code, and the pollster the  prophet. It is an ethic without appreciable roots in the past to reassure us, and subject to change at any time with some new event or scientific discovery--as Freudian, from example, changed the moral outlook of so many.

     Examine one possible consequence. Suppose a government decided, on the basis of available data, that a new law was required which would impose the death penalty for an offense not previously considered capital--as, for instance, the U.S. S R. decreed the death penalty for stealing from  the government.   Once the decree has been granted as .justified by the needs of society, can anyone within that society believe it ethically wrong, the executions immoral?    

     Go a step further. Suppose a government decided on the death penalty for people whose continued existence it found contrary to the welfare of its society, as say the Nazi government found six million Jews undesirable. We recoil from that act--but on what basis, short of invoking that obsolete concept, Gold's law? If we believe society's needs to be man's highest law, what can we say was morally wrong? Every Nazi could maintain, and many did, that since the sovereign government of Germany made the law, his function was to obey it, in fact, that he was morally bound to do so. If we no longer believe that God created man, why is human life sacred?

     If the taking of human life cannot be logically condemned, except as law condemns it, what of lesser crimes: fraud, embezzlement, rape, adultery, sexual perversion, abortion? Under our new code, can any act whatever--no matter how gravely offensive--be logically protested or condemned, except by law? And man-made laws vary. In fact, have not parts of the Western world already repealed or suspended their laws against the last three named crèmes simply because tastes and attitudes have changed?    

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

     The Lame-Duck Parent. And so man left his father's house to live on his own. But was he mature enough for the adventure? He finds his life-held standards dissolving beneath him. Cynicism plagues him, but he cannot refute it, he rejects pure hedonism as a way of life, but he has no philosophy with which to dispute its claims. And, beyond all this another trouble bewilders, wounds, frightens and embitters him in the face of which he is as impotent as toward all the rest the rebellion of his children against him.

     Consider the dilemma of the modern parent in the Western world. If, atypically, he is still in possession of his faith that God knows, watches and punishes, then his child growing up in today's world is being alienated from him. The situation resembles that of American immigrant families a few generations ago: the parents spoke a foreign language, the children rejected it, and spoke English. The child cannot help seeing what others are doing, in the secular society, and he cannot help but absurd its outlook and values, Parochial child, bar mitzvah, the threat of Hell, personal example--these may delay the secularization, but carrot prevent it.

     Meanwhile, the non-religious parent, or one content merely to observe the forms of a faith has literally no way to influence his child. He recognizes the utter vacuity of no belief at all, yet he can hardly hold up as a model the peculiar lame-duck  proposition his own life has become, one foot in materialism and one in old-fashioned morality. How can he teach a child to do right if he cannot justify the right?

     This parent is in an even worse situation trying  to answer the first question that religion used to answer: What is the meaning of man's existence? If a parent must tell a youngster that his life has no meaning,  how can he tell him that he should not take drugs? In fact, how can he convince him that he should not commit suicide outright? If the youth does stay alive, it is because he wants to for reasons solely within himself.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

"Give Me a Reason." Pursue a discussion with any rebellious youth as to why he commits acts that the older generation regards as depraved, self-destructive or irresponsible, and again and again you will hear the reply, "Why not?" Try to answer "Why not?" If you are a transitional creature living in a halfway house, one who has given up faith while continuing (in order to hold your life together) to act as if you still had it, you have no answer. True, you still--by and large--live by certain moral principles, but you cannot say why. Therein lies the basis of the curious guilt so often felt by parents in the face of insufferable behavior by their young, and their consequent indulgence of children who reject them.

     The young rebel's "Why not?" has at least two meanings: not only "what's to stop me?" but simultaneously, "Give me a reason I can accept." For the young person wants, needs, is in fact desperate to believe in something. He is in constant search of it--in "Mind-bending" drugs, in Zen Buddhism, in love, astrology, the Peace Corps, a new society, radicalism, hedonism, nihilism-- anything but his parents' ism, which he regards as dishonest and cowardly.     

     The young rebel has not found his belief yet. The experience of learning that an entire civilization is founded on nothing solid morally, that it is shot through and through with what he regards as hypocrisy, that he finds nothing in it to give his life meaning--this  has been so overwhelming a shock that it has lift him largely mute, inarticulate, confused, unable to cope. He can literally be sore of nothing. And if there is one word that most aptly describes the emotional reaction of the young to finding society without a usable moral basis it is disgust.

     There are still other consequences of man's portentous leap into materialism. In freeing himself of the terror of Hell, he gave up his hope of Heaven: you live, you die, that's the end of it. Your grandfather had the tremendous expectation of a life everlasting. Your, typically ambivalent, still hope that somehow it may turn out to be true after all, but your children are, in the most direct sense, hopeless, except for what they can get out of life materialistically.

     Further: if man is his own moral judge, and governments derive their powers "from the consent of the governed," then there exists no effective authority. Behind you and me there is only the government we have created; behind the government only the nightstick and the gun. Children are born to parents not as part of a divine plan, but by biological accident. Does that accident confer any authority on the parents? The teacher knows more facts than the pupil--does that make him an authority? The police, called pigs. The young sneer at Presidents, manhandle deafs, burn the nations flag and display that of its enemy. Why not, if there is no authority?

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Profound Questions. The idea that man  is morally responsible only to himself has been behind the creation if whole new societies: communist, fascist, socialist and shades between--while the order societies are being shaken, changing in nature even as they retain the old names and forms. In the new societies, a kind of morality has been built around protection of the state in what seem like perpetual emergency conditions. But that cannot last, already hippies are plaguing the authorities in Leningrad, Moscow and Prague, and for behind the various curtains we hear protests against the meaninglessness of life

Meanwhile, Western man finds it increasingly difficult to create for himself a spiritually satisfying life. The traditional religious institutions offer little. Houses of worship have become basketball courts and bingo parlors and places in which to serve a wedding dinner. Already the churchmen, startled by their immense distance from the realties of today's life, have begun to mount the barricades of social protest: you ordain a preceptor of right and wrong, and you get a jazz impresario or a street demonstrator.

     Perhaps inevitable, when man no longer needs to beg God for enough food and protection from the elements, he stops begging God. As their material meets become satisfied, all people seem headed for the stage in which western society now finds itself. 

   And yet the questions remain. Anyone who can contemplate the eye of a far from personifying authority, are housefly, the mechanics of human finger movement, the camouflage of a moth, or the building of every kind of matter from variations in arrangement of proton and electron, and them maintain that all this design happened without a designer, happened by sheer, blind accident--such a person believes in a miracle far more astounding than any in the Bible. To regard man, with his arts and aspirations, his awareness of himself and of his universe, his emotions and his morals, his very ability to conceive an idea so grand as that of God, to regard this creature as merely a form of life somewhat higher on the evolutionary ladder than the others is to create questions more profound than those answered.

      Is there no more use for the astonishingly complex human brain than to assure continued existence of the species? Can we not see in the capabilities of the brain some function greater than mere self-preservation? If all species seek to preserve themselves, what mindless chemistry created that prodigious urge? If the universe is finite, what exists beyond it? What existed before it began? If it is eternal and limitless, is it not thereby beyond our power ever to know, leaving key questions forever unanswered?

     Schoolboy questions, granted; but they will not down. Our materialism is itself so shallow, based on blatant assumptions that are hardly more than guesswork, impalpable and unsatisfying, demeaning, flagrantly incomplete and yet arrogant in its premises. The idea of God deserves a better substitute.

2.  God is over All Thoughts and Primary Attributes

    Please notice the  colors: The Blue! The Red! and The Green!

THE Thoughts OF gOD and HIS Attributes are one:     Time, Space and Light (Form): "Three attributes called 'Heaven'!"    

See the last three sentences!

God,

The Father

Time!

       

  Time - Known as "The Ancient of Days," God The Father. It was Daniel talking  to E. G. White in.The Great Controversy. pg. 453

-TEXT-
"And, behold, One like the Son of Man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the
Ancient of Days, and they brought him near before him." Dan. 7:13. . . . The coming of Christ here described is not His second coming to the earth. He comes to the Ancient of days in heaven to receive dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, which will be given Him at the close of His work as a mediator. It is this coming, and not His second advent to the earth, that was foretold in prophecy to take place at the termination of the 2300 days in 1844. Attended by heavenly angels, our great High Priest enters the holy of holies, and there appears in the presence of God . . . to perform the work of investigative judgment, and to make an atonement for all who are shown to be entitled to its benefits.


God,

 The

Holy Spirit

Space!

 

 

   

 

 

 

Space - Known as "The Spirit,"  God The Holy Spirit. It was Jesus, talking to Nicodemus , who said that the Spirit moves as space (Holy Bible. John 3:8).

E. G. White. Advent Review and Sabbath Herald 05-05-96. Operation of the Holy Spirit Made Manifest in the Life. pg. 02

-TEXT-
Those men who calculate just how religious exercises should be conducted, and are very precise and methodical in diffusing the light and grace that they seem to have, simply do not have much of the Holy Spirit. If they had more of the Spirit of God, they would meddle less with the experiences of men who have received this divine gift in large abundance.
There is much need of the testimony that was given to Nicodemus. Jesus said unto Nicodemus, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." Nicodemus was astonished as well as indignant at these words. He regarded himself as not only an intellectual, but a pious and religious man. But Christ said again to him, "Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so [are a few who profess to believe the truth?--No.] is every one that is born of the Spirit.       `                                                               The God of heaven uses his Spirit as it pleases him, and human minds and human judgment and human methods can no more set boundaries to its working, or prescribe as to the channel through which it shall operate, than they can say to the wind, "I bid you to blow in a certain direction, and to conduct yourself in such and such a manner."


God,

The Son of

Light

Light!

 

 

 

Light    "The Light of Life" [This chapter is based on John 8:12-59;  E. G. White. The Desire of the Ages pg. 463.

-TEST-

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." John 8:12.

 

When He spoke these words, Jesus was in the court of the temple specially connected with the services of the Feast of Tabernacles. In the center of this court rose two lofty standards, supporting lampstands of great size. After the evening sacrifice, all the lamps were kindled, shedding their light over Jerusalem. This ceremony was in commemoration of the pillar of light that guided Israel in the desert, and was also regarded as pointing to the coming of the Messiah. At evening when the lamps were lighted, the court was a scene of great rejoicing. Gray-haired men, the priests of the temple and the rulers of the people, united in the festive dances to the sound of instrumental music and the chants of the Levites.

In the illumination of Jerusalem, the people expressed their hope of the Messiah's coming to shed His light upon Israel. But to Jesus the scene had a wider meaning. As the radiant lamps of the temple lighted up all about them, so Christ, the source of spiritual light, illumines the darkness of the world. Yet the symbol was imperfect. That great light which His own hand had set in the heavens was a truer representation of the glory of His mission.

It was morning; the sun had just risen above the Mount of Olives, and its rays fell with dazzling brightness on the marble palaces, and

lighted up the gold of the temple walls, when Jesus, pointing to it, said, "I am the light of the world."

-TEXT-
Christ's prayer to His Father for His disciples was, "Sanctify them through Thy truth; Thy Word is truth." The sign of God is sanctification through obedience to the truth. This sanctification makes the loyal subject like his great Head, Jesus Christ. He is brought into peculiar and eternal relations to the Saviour on condition that he maintains his allegiance to the end. When we are thus sanctified, we shall not have a spurious faith, a spurious doctrine, a spurious experience. In coming out from the world and accepting the Sabbath of creation, which God has blessed and sanctified, we give evidence of true conversion. We are stamped with the mark of God's government. As we accept the Sabbath to keep it holy unto the Lord, we are sanctified, soul, body, and spirit.

"But if you had known what this means, "I desire mercy and not sacrifice, you would not have condemned the guiltless. For the Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath day. Matt. 12:7 - 8.

"The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. Therefore the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath." Matt. 2:27-28.

And He said to them, I "The Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath". Luke. 6:5.


His Form - Known as "The First Form," and "The First Sabbath".   By Mrs. E.G.W. The Spirit of Prophecy, Disguised Infidelity. Chapter VIII.  

-TEXT-
The first week, in which God performed the work of creation in six days and rested on the seventh day, was just like every other week. The great God, in his days of creation and day of rest, measured off the first cycle as a sample for successive weeks till the close of time. "These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created." God gives us the result of his work on each of the days of creation. Each day was accounted of him a generation, because every day he generated, or produced, some new portion of his work. On the seventh day of the first week God rested from his labor, and then blessed the day of his rest, and set it apart for the use of man. The weekly cycle of seven literal days, six for labor and the seventh for rest, which has been preserved and brought down through Bible history, originated in the great facts of the first seven days.


E. G. White. Periodical- The Signs of the Times - 11-12-94
Article- A Perpetual Memorial. Pg- 08
-TEXT-
From that day to this the knowledge of God's law has been preserved in the earth, and the Sabbath of the fourth commandment has been kept. Christ has given no hint that the seventh-day Sabbath has ever been or ever could be changed, and no apostolic example for the change from the seventh to the first day of the week can be cited. The custom of observing the first day of the week instead of the seventh day of divine appointment has no authority save that of tradition, popular custom, and the command of the Church of Rome. The Church of Rome has been the agent by which Satan has made this breach in the law of God, and turned the professed Christian world away from the precepts of Jehovah. Through his insinuation men made the claim that because Christ rose from the dead on the first day of the week, therefore the first day of the week should be celebrated as the Christian Sabbath, but the Scriptures give no authority for this manner of reasoning. The prince of evil well knew that could he set aside the true foundation for Sabbath observance, he could make the fourth commandment of no significance in the minds of men. Thus, under the pretense of honoring Christ, Satan succeeds in tearing down God's great memorial, turning the minds of men away from their Creator in a false zeal for a spurious institution. He led the Jews to have a false zeal for the Sabbath, and then induced them to reject Christ, the Lord of the Sabbath.


Genesis 1:26

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule (authority) over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

Man was created: He was created mentally, physically  and spiritually  .

in our image                        (and) in our likens
mentally - physically - spiritually

  and let them rule... 

1. They are in one,  2. They are as one,  3. They are ONE. Their Creation of the Universe is Great. They are mentally free, independently (physically) powerful, and  spiritually praiseworthy.

 

Joy of the Family!            by President G.B.Patterson,

So crucial is the family relationship that our concept of God rises or falls with it. In the same way that children relate to and understand their parents we relate to and understand God. God designed it that way. The Bible uses the experience of family as a helical loop illustration: God is as family, and family is as God. When God wishes to describe His love for His people He calls them His bride and His children. And conversely, when He speaks of the love that should exist in families He urges, "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church" (Eph. 5:25).

Family Experience

Neither God nor family can be understood properly without the other. Our family experience draws on our God concept and our God concept is informed by the relationship that exists in our families. Either these two concepts contribute to the up building of each other or they become a black hole, drawing us into a pit of destruction. It is absolutely crucial; it is absolutely mandatory; it is absolutely determinative, that the future of our church as a whole and our salvation individually rises or falls with the family relationship.

  They are in  One, Mentally. They are as One, Physically. They are One, Spiritually. Amen! There are two Greek words, fhiloς, eroς, and one Turkish/Hebrew  word, aga/pe, written with Greek letters. (Why did Jesus  use the Turkish word for Lord?). Notice: aga (a-ga) n. Also a-gha.  A high official of the Ottoman Empire. [Turkish aga, "lord." {"root word"} Jt.]  The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language 1969 pg. 23. Love is Love (Eros). The other two words are Philos and  Agape.          


Filoς {Mental}
The Father gave Permission, Jesus spoke the Word and the Holy Spirit produced all Creation. They made us. We were created for Their pleasure. They are our "Father", and are concerned about our well being. We sinned. They still Love us as Philos (Unconditional Love). They provided a Plan of Salvation that made Jesus the Product of Love, Eros. From its source as Our Authority, Please accept Jesus, not Satan, as a choice. Forgiving us Agape (Positioned as a Father, King or Lord) God accepts our abeyance. When you had done what God has asked, your Position is Conditioned. From "Unconditioned Love" to Unlimited Conditioned Love you made a  Positive Choice and you will be better off for All Eternity. Amen!

Eroς {Physical}
Just like human beings, Jesus was born. The Son of God allowed The Holy Spirit to fashion the Love relationship with a virgin and He was born of natural process to enter this world. He lived and died and was sealed a second time in the earth (first time in Mary) to be "born again" from whence He walked in "Newness of Life". He has offered it to us in Love, Agape. From its source, God Loves us to decide which way we want to go. You can accept His Authority or let you die in your sins. The choice is yours.

Agaph {Spiritual}
The Father's compassion shown to us from the "foundation of the world" can be given only if we obey, only if we choose Him to be our Authority, only if we let His preference be first. All that Jesus has done is of no effect if we do not surrender all. He died to make Salvation possible, There is nothing He can do until, and unless we accept Him. This Love is so conditional that it is totally ineffective unless we totally let The Holy Spirit (The Comforter) have His way with us. From His source, He has given man the conditions of accepting His (man) Salvation for Sin. If you want His Authority, ask Him.

Mercy  

1.     Compassion and mercy can be shown for the enemy.

2.     This Love (Philos) cannot be shown to God (Obedience is given to Him).

3.     Compassion and mercy can be shown to your fellowman.

4.     Liberty is the same as tolerance.

5.     Compassion and mercy can be given only by an authority.

6.     Exercising this Love (Philos) makes us perfect.

7.     This love is non-intoxicating.

8.     This relationship is given strictly as a matter of choice.

9.     You, who have mercy, have to be sober to exercise it properly.

Trust

1.  Trust has no super-sensual involvement. It's Trust (Philos) is a primary factor from it's Authority.

2. This Trust (euphoric or/and intoxicant feeling) is related to eros,

3. The euphoric (good feeling) comes because you have obeyed.


These relationships are about Man as a "source" of Love (including Jesus as a man, not God).

filoς Philos [Mental]

1.
This love, from its source, is unconditional. The relationship is a "one way street, going down".

2. This love is to be given toward the inanimate: like “I like stamps”, or “I like my country”, or “I love people”, etc…

3. It has no other absolute authority than its "given" source. It is selfishly satisfied, and has no "preferences" involved.

4.  It is affection for the created. (God can have for man, not man toward God.)

5. This love is not given to enemies, but to friends ONLY.

6. This affection is comparable to passion: Greeks were good statesmen, sportsmen, etc.

7. It is referred to a general love.

8. There is no intoxication without giving "my permission".

9. Trust is not primarily necessary, and it is dependent on its source’s decision.

Eroς Eros [Physical]
 

1. This relationship, from its source, is "a conditioning" or "equalizing" love.

2. Absolute authority is compromised (eye for eye).

3. Satisfaction is mutual (you please me, I will please you--maybe!)

4. With this love, my preference is as good as yours.

5. The only way one can have this love for your enemy is through mistrust (tooth for tooth).

6. It is referred to a passion and can be spiritualized to a euphoric experience, an intoxication.

7. Trust for you is only as far as it can be seen.

8. With this love, mutual decisions become passionate passion (a good  relationship, not love).

9. The Greeks played all over Mount Olympus with their gods!

Agape agaph [Spiritual]  (See Resource)

1.
Totally different from the other relationships. This love, from its source, is very
, very conditional.           

2. To use this love, one has to relate to a chosen authority first.

3. It is the recognition of total authority vested to one by a census of two more persons (Him, you, and me). My relationship toward Him is "one way going up".

 4. This love involves a total giving of "all" obedience with the mental, physical, and spiritual powers in order to receive "all" compassion from your chosen authority. (1 Cor. 13:1-13). 

5. There is no compromising in this love.

6. Since my authority's preference is first, I will present my preference and according to his will, he will make my preference his preference first and answer me.

7. Obedience is compared to "members of one body "as "hand to head, feet to head, etc.

8. The stress is on (a) compassion given for (b) obedience.

9. Because of my love for my authority, I will depend on him for all decisions.

NOTICE!
It is when we give "all" to receive "all" as a baby that The Plan of Salvation with Love is accomplished.

This is the Love that is to be taught in our homes (Heaven and Earth), schools (in Eden and in Church Schools), and in our Churches (Who is The Bride)! It is different from the world (eros and philos where each person is seeking his own selfish satisfactions).

May God, Our God, grant us Mercy, and may we accept His Grace as one of His children (babies) of the King. AMEN!


SEE:  G. KITTEL, THEOL. DICT. NT. V.1 P. 35-37 & V. 9 P. 119-123.

The Fourth Greek Word:

Please notice another Greek word for Love: stabetar (now four Greek words). We are suggesting that this word is a part of Eros. It is the "maintaining relationship toward taking care of the baby", or a positive relationship for a person in the family. Until the "baby" is grown, the physical eros, without making children, is a part of the  process of the family (man, woman, and Jesus). The relationship of eros is still in vogue. It would be nice to continue with the Three Greek Words as the Bible says: philos, eros, and agape.

Using the same idea of the four English words as mental, physical, spiritual, and social relationships, we notice that it would be hard to use the word, "social", with out using the mental, physical, spiritual powers  of these relationships separately.   Jt.

4.  The Three Greek Words   /  Please notice the  colors: The Blue! The Red! and The Green!


Love is explained with 3 Greek Words in 9 ways!

The First Word

Filoς

philos

 

mental

 

Greek language, only.

1.    This relationship is Un-conditional.

2.    It is love for the inanimate.

3.   It is non intoxicating and has no authority of its own.

Trust is relative.

 

Words*

1.  Phil-ately.........

2.  Phil-adelphia....

3.  Phil-anthopy ...

........... "-love of collating stamps"

 ..........."-love of brothers"

............"-love of mankind"

 


The Second Word

Er

eros

(male)

Agape

(female) 

physical

 

Greek God

(Eros)

Egypt Goddess

(Icon)

Latin

(Sex)/(Thoughts)

4.   This relationship has an equal conditioning component. 

        (I give to you as you give to me. NO MORE, NO LESS.)

 

5.   It is love for human kind (including Jesus and  Angels).  

 

6.   It is intoxicating, and has no more authority than mine.

   Trust is suspect.

 

Words*

1.   I Love You! (Maybe!).

2.  My  Pleasure is Our Command! (Maybe).

3.  You send me!  (Maybe).  

 


The Third Word

Agape

Aga-pe

 

 

spiritual

A compound word

Aga---Turkey

pe---Hebrew

The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language 1969 pg. 23 and pg. 963.

7. This relationship must have a very, very, very conditioned response. As in Psychology, a new or modified response elicited by a stimulus after conditioning.  It was the relationship of god to the other gods, not Jesus only, but all gods--Greeks and Roman, and other goddess, too. The word and relationships were at least 599 years before Jesus' birth.

8 The Greek gods were over every thing animate and inanimate. They were over everything on the earth and under the earth. Some languages may not have this concept in their words, but Jesus used it. "If you love (aga-pe) me, keep my commandants {words of my mouth} (John 14:15;). Notice: In Ex 20:6, He not only said the words, but He also wrote the words (commandments) and He became The Word in Flesh! Amen!

9 The gods were more than mere man. When the Greek gods wanted something done, it was done! Their gods (Zeus) had absolute authority!   The Greeks wanted to "See" Jesus. They wanted to see some one who was more than their thoughts of their god. John 12:20-50.

 Complete Trust is necessary.   

Words*

    1.   Zeus, the Father of the Greeks gods.

    2.   Jesus, the Son of God. (Jehovah)                     

    3.   Adam, the Son of Mankind. (Jesus).

..

Agape received a broader usage under later Christian writers as the word that specifically denoted "Christian" love or "charity" (1 Corinthians 13:1–8). The New Testament provides a number of definitions and examples of agape, which generally expand on the meanings used in ancient texts, denoting brotherly love, love of one's spouse or children, and the love of God for all mankind.

 

 

Notice again:

 

1 aga (a-ga) Also a-gha. n. Used as a title for a male civil...leader, esp. in Turkey.

 

2.   In English, notice the word "lord (lord) n. A man of high rank in a feudal society or in one that retains feudal forms and institutions,  esp.: a. A king. b. ...

 

3.   King (king) n. A male sovereign.

 

4.   pe (pa) n. The 17th letter of the  Hebrew alphabet. [Heb. pe <Phocnician *pe, "mouth", 17th letter of the Phoenician alphabet.]          

The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language 2004; pg. 25, 817, and pg.  1023.

 

**Please notice that "aga" and "lord (King)" were given to those who received authority. These titles were given to those who were chosen with two percent of three persons with in acceptance of the program, or, by conquest. For example, by choice: A President is chosen by two (%) out of three choices where the third person is chosen to be the leader; or, by conquest of war; or both,  as of the U.S. President's Campaign. These are people who were given authority

   With this title and authority, he could help others as a "aga"; a feudal form leader. Where this word, "aga-pe" is given, the person who has this title has Authority (mentally), Power of Authority (physically), desire  Choice of Other's of Authority, (spiritually), not chance.

Notice: Our concept of God, of His Love, and of our Family form with Him, and even of the Devil, too, has connection with our thoughts. 

   Even The Father was given permission by The Son of God and of The Holy Spirit to be a Family Firm Creator.  "Aga-pe" was put together by The Godhead saying, "Do what I say (by my mouth ), for I have  Position (mentally), Power (physically), and have been given Permission of "one out of three" as one who has The Authority (spiritually). John 14:15 and Exodus 20:2-17.

    In the Greek New Testament Dictionary (13 to 75) suggests that the word "aga" or "ag" shows good relationships of the Leader (King/Lord/Father) for those who are given respect, obedience and  reciprocity. For instance in 1 Corinthians  13:. It starts with a person (male), a "lord relationship"  (A) who is willing to listen to others and (B) who give respect and obedience (1).

   It is nice to know that it (aga) started in Heaven where Jesus talks to the Father (John 1:1). The conversation continued with Jesus (The Son) asking the Father to LET HIM become man. The Reciprocity was not finished until YOU have accepted His blood on Calvary. At begins with your own Authority. At ends with His Authority. Have you accepted Him? You don't know? Then ask Him.

 

1. Authority--Farther

2. Obedience--Jesus

3. Oneness--Holy Spirit

 

With out God, the Devil will be your Fiend, not a Friend. Don't try it, My Friend. Amen!

 


  Willingly Accept Authority as a Father has His Children of whom you must are one.     .


5.   HAVE YOU ACCEPTED JESUS?

The relationship for "The Son" towards the "Father" is the same Love Relationship and Respect that we should have for each other, man to man. This is the same relationship that we should have towards Jesus as a man, a man like us, not for God, but for man towards man. The relationship would be the same as Mother towards Father. This Love is not for babies or children, but for adults, only. "Grown-upers". Children are to be taught how to respect Jesus and His Father. If not, we show that we have not accepted Jesus. Father, Mother and Jesus are as One, Mentally, Physically, and Spiritually. When Jesus lived on earth, men did not accept Him as God. Now that He has been Resurrected and has come back into the "God towards God Relationship" in heaven, man calls Jesus "God and Man". Jesus now has both, but we (man) still do not accept Jesus as man, as "man towards man". Have you, man, accepted Jesus as man, not God? The Jews, then, didn't accept him either; as neither God or man. If you really want to go to heaven (even now), you would be equal to Jesus on earth as a man. If you plan to accept Him in Heaven, you will need to know His conception of Love here on earth: man to man.  Amen! LOVE (agaph, agape) ONE ANOTHER.)

Agapao Can t Mean, The Unconditional, Divine Love of God and Phileo Can t Mean, Brotherly Love

 

 

Description

Did you know it is impossible for the Greek word, agapao, to mean, "

the divine, unconditional love of God" ? And the Greek word, phileo,

does not mean, "brotherly love." Fortunately, you do not need to know

Greek to discover these assertions are correct. And you will not need to

"interpret" the Bible either. All you need to be able to do - is read

(which it appears you can). In a matter of moments, you will know

more about the Bible's teaching on love than many a "scholar"!

 A must read!   

 

 

Love. This seems like an important subject area for Christianity. In fact, one could even contend it is a core element of the Christian faith! After all, the first commandment is the requirement to love God - with all our heart, mind, soul and strength (Mk 12:30). The second commandment requires us to love our neighbor as our self (Mk 12:31)! This “lοve” requirement covers all our vital relationships - toward self, neighbor and Creator! But the centrality of this “lοve doctrine” extends even further. The Bible states that love fulfills the Law (Rο 13:8-10 and Gal 5:14)! So, all the requirements of the Law of God ... are fulfilled by love?! It is evidently made up of something that has the ability to satisfy the requirements the entire Old Testament theocracy! This is worth thought, investigation and inquiry!

  Unconditional Love - An Unlimited Way of Being

Why Unconditional Love?

Unconditional Love is a dynamic and powerful energy that lifts us through the most difficult times.  It is available at any moment by turning our attention to it and using its wonderful potential to free us from our limitations.  It requires practice and intent to allow this energy to fully permeate our daily experience. It begins with ourselves, for without self-love, we cannot know what true love can be.  In loving ourselves, we allow the feeling to generate within us and then we can share it to everyone and everything around us!  That which we send out, returns to us in greater measure.  If you have not thought about how you feel towards yourself, physically, mentally, and emotionally, or spiritually, we invite you to do so now.  Begin the journey that changes everything.  Begin the journey of unconditional love...
