Body
God
made us into many parts. Which are the Body, Soul, and Spirit. We also have
mind to think. "May your Spirit and soul and body be preserved complete."
(1 Thes 5:23).
The
BODY is simply the physical body, belonging to the physiological level,
contacting the things of the material realm, and is the most superficial
part.
The
SOUL is the mental faculty, belonging to the psychological level, contacting
the things of the mental realm, and is a deeper part.
The
SPIRIT is the deepest part of man, belonging to the spiritual level, and
contacts the things of God.
Christians
often missed out the three of them. We must know that the only thing if
for God is the Spirit, we are saved from the Spirit and by the Spirit,
Our Lord died for us and gave us the Holy Spirit and we and can have contact
with God. Our Soul and the Body is still under Satan's control. If we use
our Body and Soul, we easily being fooled by Satan, which is the Devil.
We must use our Spirit often for it is not in the Satan's control. If we
use our Spirit, we can contact with God, but nowadays, Christians often
stress on Body and Soul and they left out the Holy Spirit which God have
gave us.
Many
churches today still think they are not save even they have baptized, and
they always stress on doing good. They think that a god Christian is a
Christians always doing good things and did not sinned. Do you know that,
if we force ourselves to do good, we are using our Body but not the Holy
Spirit. Christians too afraid of dying or go to hell, thus, they tried
very hard to avoid sinning. They pray everyday, being Holy everyday, and
they felt very exhausting. I think that, if one kept using the Body, one
still cannot change their attitude. If one day God died, they will still
fall into the same old them.
Many
churches too stressed on Laws, but if you study the bible, Laws only exists
in the Old Testament, in the New Testament, we are more than Law, it is
the time of the Holy Spirit. "The law of the Spirit of life has freed me
in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and of death" (ROM 8:2). The Old Testament
is the period of the Father, and they have not been given the Spirit, thus
they needed Law to guide them. When Jesus is in the world, then it is the
time of the Son; and after Jesus had been crucified on the cross, He has
gave us the Holy Spirit. And then it is the period of the Spirit, it is
not more Laws, it is the period of the Spirit !
But
many Christians don't know, they thought that spirit can be vanished
if they don't do good, but this is wrong! The Spirit is given us to experience
Christ, and to enjoy Him. So, if Laws are given, we still are living in
the work of our Body, and this can easily fallen into the hands of the
Devil.
Don't
think weather or not we are going to die or going to heaven, this is not
a Christian attitude, we Christians should be strong, we are more than
death; we are the glorious one's! And have saved from the death! All we
need to do is that to experience the Holy Spirit. Do you noticed that after
believers had baptized, they will changed suddenly ? Why ? They don't know
the Bible or any practices, but they will turned good suddenly. Why ? This
is the work of the Holy Spirit, it has anointed us. And later the Spirit
will changed our mind, body, and sold, and we will be like Jesus. We must
pray to God and we will given the Spirit, we must go with our Spirit, not
with the Body. We must live in the Spirit, not in the Body. And later we
will live out Spirit, not live out our Body. And we become the expression
of God. God needs us to express Him.
Mind
We
often too stress on out thoughts and thinking. We too needed logic to support
what we need to trust. The mind is also in the Satan's control. Many theologists,
or people in the scientological church too stress on this teaching. Being
a Christians we should know that many things need not have proofs and we
only need is life. Knowledge is for Satan, that's why Satan is on the Tree
of Knowledge. We Christians are more than that, we are Life, and we have
God given life after we believe in Him, which's why God wants Adam and Eve
to eat the fruit on the Tree of Life.
If
we too question in our believes, this also means we are week, we are questioning
God Himself. Thus, the main thing in Christianity is our living, our living
is the most important part. How we live God's life and how we use our Spirit
to strengthen us. Our mind is not important, for we are imperfect, we will
not find the correct perfection. We can only found life through our living,
and we can only be saved from it. Do you know that the word "Philosophy"
in the Bible only exist once ? This also means that, our mind is not actually
important in God's purpose.
Soul
Now,
more and more Church practices this. And they think that a church should
be like that. Even when they preach the Gospel, they even used Worldly
teachings or practices to gather outsiders. This is the most serious thing
I would say.
I
have this experience of mine. When I was 16, I was invited to a Ice cream
party (the person only mention that). When I ask why, and she doesn't want
to answer, maybe she afraid that when I know, I won't go. So, I and few
classmate went there and have a ice cream party, and I was so disappointed
it is a church, felt like I'm being tricked. I was not a Christian then.
Then
the priest start to preach the Gospel and it only lasted 5 minutes, before
that was drama's, singing, dancing, bands & ice-cream of course etc.
I'm not that intellectual I don't know much about the Gospel so I think
it is quite fun, but I did not believe in it; I was very happy because
I ate 15 scoops of ice cream and it is quite benefit though. :)
After
I'm a Christian for few years, I think back again, about the incident.
Why they have to use worldly things to attract people ? Why they have to
use the soul ? Is that out of the real teachings ? Is that the Gospel so
weak that they afraid we won't believe ? They are actually having serious
problems themselves. They are so weak in their Spirit that they scared.
They are too from the world and this what God dislikes. I have friends
asking me to go disco, but its actually a church. And have church meetings
for 3 hours, but the preaching is just 5 minutes. What is happening to
them ? What is happening to the church nowadays ?
We
all know that "Christmas" is not in the Christian celebration or practices,
but why some churches they still do it even they knew it is wrong ? If
we are in the recovery, we should throw this off, we can only do what God
want us to do. Why they celebrate Christmas ? One answer from a brother
in another church says that the reason that they celebrate Christmas is
to have a chance to attract more people. This is a wrong excuse! Their
church has used worldly things to attract people. They still think that
people will not believe by just a Gospel, for they think its too boring.
Why do they think that ? It is because they think it is boring too.
I
think, the Gospel is the strongest thing to pull people. Church is not
for entertaining or dancing, or even screaming or read literatures. A
church is to unite the Body of Christ and to have contact with God, and
Glorified God as our savior. It is not for our body and soul; it is not
for our mind; it is not for our own enjoyment or even to give out stress.
It is for the Body of Christ!!! It is for the Church!!! We can sing very
loud and enjoy and thought that we are glorifying, but this is not right,
for we are still using our soul, not our Spirit.
Many
Christians think that if they know the whole bible, they are good Christians
and they will be saved. Some think that if we do good and study the bible
hard, we can skip the church gathering. Some people think they are so good
and they don't want to go to church. Some people striving to be different
in the church to attract more people. Some were very intellectual and always
study histories listen to music's, play bands, enjoy life, and still praying
(this is strange, It is like we are happy for Jesus death, and we don't
need to do anything to Him). All these things are from our soul, because
we too love our soul and eventually missed out the Spirit. We seldom are
living in It.
Spirit
The
Spirit is the only thing that is not in the control from the Devil. Thus,
we can also say that it is 100 percent clean. If we use it, we will sure
have good contact with God, and this is the purpose of Jesus dying on the
Cross, and we must full use of what He gave us. We must change our views
and think what I have just said. Is it true ? Compare from your own church,
are they doing the same practices ? The bible so stress on the word "Spirit"
and no one even mention a lot in the church. Maybe they think that the
Spirit stuff is too vague. But believe it or not, this is what God really
wants. To live in the Spirit and maintain oneness.
We
must know, from Genesis, we can see Satan is from the Tree of God and Evil
or the Tree of knowledge. We must know that Satan has both God and Evil
characters. But why good ? It is to lead us out of the main track of God
purpose.
We
can see there are many religions teaches us to be good, but why God still
thinks they are bad ? Some churches really looks good to us, but why God
dislikes it ? Because to be good has many ways, and Satan knows that we
would being trick by him, we often choose things trough our preferences
and that's why we all fall into a same trap. Satan uses goodness to lead
us out of the main stream, which is the Holy Spirit. The real church. We
all judge things through our likeness, but we don't choose things through
God's likeness. That's why we failed.
Thus,
we now realize that, to be good is not the main thing for goodness is for
Satan. We must abide in the Spirit then can we have contact with God, and
we will turn good naturally.
