Jerusalem

Lamentations is a collection of 5 poetic laments for the decay of society that led to the destruction of Jerusalem.

But what is Jerusalem?

Jerusalem means "double peace". If we seek God in spirit and in truth, in our minds and our body, in our heart and in our words and our deeds we will find Jerusalem, if not we will loose it.

The deeds of the Nicolaitan and the error of Balaam are not compatible with the way of Jerusalem and lead to the destruction of Jerusalem.^[1]

Gamaliel the Elderdied^[2] twenty years before the destruction of the second temple in Jerusalem but the temple was writing the terms of its own destruction before Christ came by departing from the way of the Corban of Moses.

Moses had set the captive free and taught them the way of righteousness where no one coveted their neighbors' goods through men who exercise authority one over the other^[3], which is idolatry because it is a covetous practice.^[4]

They ate at the tables of rulers and developed an appetite for their dainties so that what should have been for their welfare had become a snare and a trap.^[5]

Melchizedek was the righteous king of peace and Jesus was Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.^[6]

Spirit

The modern definition it is said that spirit' includes:

"the nonphysical part of a person that is the seat of emotions and character; the soul."
"those qualities regarded as forming the definitive or typical elements in the character of a person, nation, or group or in the thought and attitudes of a particular period."

The word Spirit appears many times in the Bible. In Hebrew we see the word ruwach^[8] which is also translated wind, breath, side, mind, blast, vain, air, and anger, cool, courage, etc.

Breath comes out of your mouth as you speak and manifests that spirit that dwells within in words.

In Genesis 1^[9] we are told that "the earth was without form, and void" and it was "the Spirit of God" that "moved upon the face of the waters".

This breath of God also was apart of the formation of man as a living soul with a spirit of his own.^[10]

Jesus would also breath on the Apostles so that they could receive that same Spirit of God or what is called the Holy Spirit.^[11]

It is this same Spirit of God that is the source of revelation about the Law of Nature and the Will of God and make us anew man.^[12]

Different spirits

In the Greek of the New Testament we see the word pneuma^[13] translated Spirit or Ghost as in the phrase the Holy Ghost. It can refer to the Spirit of God, Spirit of truth^[14], or a human spirit, or even an evil spirit.

Being born again is being born of the Spirit and not just of the flesh.^[7] We as creatures of flesh cannot conjure up that Spirit with words and rituals but it is independent of what we do or say.^[15]

While our words clearly cannot save us and Jesus emphasizes our doing the will of the Father in Heaven and forgiveness is clearly a part of opening our hearts to His redemption.

If we say we believe in the Lord and do what He says to do and not do what He condemns then our spirit, our breath, our character is one with His Holy Spirit.

If you are truly seeking the Kingdom of God then what you say and do should be conforming to the righteousness of God. If we keep the commandments of God the Father then our spirit is set apart, or said to be holy, our character or nature is upright, virtuous and honorable.

We are walking in the name of the Messiah,the Holy Spirit of Christ, or The Way of Jesus, etc. is walking in the righteousness of truth. The Truth and the Spirit of God are one.^[16]

But there are other spirits that may deceive.

"You are possessed of an instinct—a spirit—that orients you toward the highest good. It calls your soul away from hell and toward heaven. And because it is there, you find yourself frequently disillusioned. People disappoint you. You betray yourself; you lose a meaningful connection to your workplace, boss, or partner. You think, “The world is not set right. It is deeply troubling to me.” That very disenchantment, however, can serve as the indicator of destiny. It speaks of abdicated responsibility—of things left undone, of things that still need to be done. You are irritated about that need. You are annoyed with the government, you are embittered and resentful about your job, you are unhappy with your parents, and you are frustrated with all these people around you who will not take on responsibility. There are, after all, things that are crying out to be accomplished. You are outraged that what needs to be done is not being done. That anger—that outrage—is, however, a doorway. That observation of abdicated responsibility is the indication of destiny and meaning. The part of you that is oriented toward the highest good is pointing out the disjunction between the ideal you can imagine—the ideal that is possessing you—and the reality you are experiencing. There is a gap there, and it is communicating its need to be filled. You can give way to fury, in consequence, and blame it on someone else—and it is not as if other people are not contributing to the problems. Or you can come to understand that your very disappointment is an indication to you from the most fundamental levels of your being that there is something wrong that needs to be set right—and, perhaps, by you. What is it, that concern, that care, that irritation, that distraction? It is not the call to happiness. It is the call to the action and adventure that make up a real life. Jordan B. Peterson, Beyond Order: 12 More Rules For Life

By the fruits you will know them.

Truth

In the modern definition of the truth we see: Truth is the property of being in accord with fact or reality. In everyday language, truth is typically ascribed to things that aim to represent reality or otherwise correspond to it, such as beliefs, propositions, and declarative sentences. Truth is usually held to be the opposite of falsehood.

The ethics within the mind of mankind have been expressed through numerous perspectives. From Plato to Kant, or Nietzsche to Buddha, or even Confucius to Averroes^[17], and Moses to Jesus there has been the questions of what is truth.

Plato once said, “You should not honor men more than truth.” This is because truth is not subject to the opinions of men.

We all may have an opinion about what the truth is or is not. But there is no such thing as "your truth" but only your opinion about what the truth may or may not be.

As truth may only be in "accord with fact or reality"

Hiding from this truth has been a common practice from the beginning of time.

"And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden." Genesis 3:8

Your personal quest to seek the truth requires that you love the whole truth includig the truth about yourself and act upon that truth.

"For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." John 3:20

Spirit and Truth

John 4 tells us that God is Spirit but we also know that he is the truth.^[14] If we actually worship God we must do so in Spirit and in truth.^[18]

We know that the fruit of the spirit is righteousness and truth^[19] with out delusion. If we are truly Born again we will love the light that clears away the darkness of those delusions which often plague mankind.

There can be no redemption without that spirit of God through Christ entering into our hearts and minds.^[20]

The Spirit and power of God only comes with a confession of the truth about our own transgression.^[21]

The Spirit of a man of God should always bear witness to that truth because that "Spirit is truth". If it does not then there is need of repentance.

Conversing about truth

Ben Shapiro, "Critically evaluating one's beliefs is imperative for one's faith to deepen and grow. However, deconstruction in a philosophical sense a la Derrida and Foucault is bunk. It's rooted in the notion that all truth is subjective and, therefore, up to endless interpretation."

"All opinions are subjective but truth is not. That is what makes it truth."

Julia asked "How do you know truth without actual proof? Also is the proof real or was it planted? Who really knows for sure?"

All the things we call "proof" are dependent upon our senses through which we may evaluate a conclusion. That conclusion is still an opinion based on our sensory perception, evaluation, and reason, ergo it is subjective. So, there is no way to know if your proof is true. There is always some element of faith present in our personal search for truth. Still truth is part of an objective reality.

I may have an opinion about reality and you may have an opinion about reality but Only God's opinion "is" reality.

This is why what ever God may be He is identified as the "I am".

It has been said "Cogito, ergo sum" which is Latin: meaning “I think, therefore I am." I am sharing that from René Descartes' Discourse on Metho published in 1637.

Bible and truth

John 4:24 "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."

John 5:33 "Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth."

John 8:32 "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

John 8:40 "But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham."

John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

John 14:17 "Even the Spirit of truth^[14]; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you."

John 15:26 "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth^[14], which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:"

John 17:17 "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth."

John 18:37 "Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. 38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all."

My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him." 1 John 3:18

Covetousness is idolatry

- For it is written that the tables of dainties provided by rulers of the world are a snare because they cause the masses to bite one another through government systems of legal charity which are covetous practices which are a form of fornication or adultery where the people are devoured as merchandise, curse children and are "entangled again in the yoke of bondage" with the aid of the false religion of the whore who rides the beast.
