CHRIST THE ANTIDOTE REGARDING DEATH

Part 64.
For In Him We Have Our Being!
''And He made from one [common origin, one source, one blood all nations of men to settle on the face
of the earth, ha!ing definitel" determined [their allotted #eriods of time and the fi$ed boundaries of their
habitation %their settlements, lands, and abodes&, 'o that the" should see( )od, in the ho#e that the"
might feel after Him and find Him, although He is not far from each one of us. *or in Him +e li!e and
mo!e and ha!e our being, as e!en some of "our [o+n #oets ha!e said, *or +e are also His offs#ring.
'ince then +e are )od's offs#ring, +e ought not to su##ose that Deit" %the )odhead& is li(e gold or sil!er
or stone, [of the nature of a re#resentation b" human art and imagination, or an"thing constructed or
in!ented. 'uch [former ages of ignorance )od, it is true, ignored and allo+ed to #ass unnoticed, but no+
He charges all #eo#le e!er"+here to re#ent.........'' Acts -./06123. Am#lified.
The abo!e are fi!e +onderful !erses +ith a +ealth of information for the true, see(er of )ods truths
for this da" 4 age. As Paul +as #reaching on 5ars Hill in Athens under ins#iration, the '#irit of Christ
in Him +ell (ne+ that these !er" +ords +ould tra!el do+n through the ages 4 be translated into
um#teen thousands of dialects 4 +a"s of thin(ing 4 mar( me 6 ha!e "et to see one that did not still hold
the message that our great )od 4 *ather, e!en the '#irit of Christ +anted it to #roclaim to His very own
+ho are indeed His own offspring 4 are the #ossessors of the ''Christ in you which is the hope of
Gory!'' 7ne of the main thoughts in the abo!e !erses is that men 4 +omen +ould see" Him in that the"
+ould fee #fter Him 4 find Him, He also assures us that He is not f#r from #ny of us. To nail this
thought do+n +e are also informed that right no+ every one of us ive in Him move $ h#ve our %eing
in Him as e!en some of these Athenians o+n earl" +riters 4 #oets ha!e #re#&y &ec#re&' +hich tells us
that those +ho are 8estern orthodo$ Christians do not ha!e an" mono#ol" on )od, as through the ages
the #atriarchs of e!en these Athenians +ere also #ossessors of the (no+ledge of much truth, as belie!e it
or not Christ has been a #art of every m#n no matter +hat his nationalit", religion or e!en his belief since
his9man's ince#tion. The most hol" #lace e$#erience is allotted to A:: 5;< ;=;R>8H;R;. 8e must
also not omit the fact that no matter +hat an" man's bac(ground ma" be, Paul is dri!ing home the fact
that the Deit" of )od is in no +a" connected to gold, sil!er 4 brass or stone or is to be re#resented in an"
+a" - as has been handed down to many even today - b" man's imagination, no matter +hat name ma" be
o!er the organisational door, (ee#ing in mind that this fact in no +a" rules out #ny mem%er of an"
organisation as Go&'s offspring! ?ecause of this +e are all able to #ersonall" &r#w ne#r 4 (no+ that +e
are alread" a #art of the true %o&y of Christ +hich is most definitel" not an organisation but a
S(IRIT)A* ORGANIS+. 7ne condition has been gi!en in these instructions b" the '#irit through Paul,
4 that is a ch#nge of he#rt! 7ur #ast ignorance Paul tells us has been allo+ed 4 ignored 4 #assed
unnoticed, but no+ He charges all men to repent of this or to ha!e a heart change. Please (ee# in mind
that this third da" spiritu# org#nism is far, far remo!ed from +hat has been #ro#ounded b" churchianit"
since the formulation of the Athanasian Creed +hich too( #lace in 20@ A.D. This +as held at the Council
at <icea Tur(e" +hich +as instigated b" the ;m#eror Constantine 4 from that time those that #roceeded
from this +ent into reigious declension 4 then into the &#r" #ges. This should tell us somethingA
The +ord re#ent actuall" means to turn a+a" from, it is from the )ree( +ord metanoeo#ronounced
met-an-o-eh'-o, From 'trongs G3326 and G3539; it means, to think differently or afterwards, that is,
reconsider morally to feel com!"nction#$ - re!ent% 7ther translations describe it as B ''Re#ent, change of
heart'', ''turn to Him'', ''to reform'', ''change 4 turn to Him'', ''change the +a" the" thin( 4 act'', ''all men
e!er"+here to reform''. The sim#lest +a" of describing it in toda"'s language is a, ''turning #w#y!''
The reason 6 ha!e ta(en the time to e$#lain this +ord in detail is that so man" religious #eo#le +ant to
ma(e it into a condemning +ord, as though it carries +ith it the eternal +rath of )od. The condemning
-
Christ The Antidote Regarding Death
repent or perish thought is deri!ed from a school of thought that resulted mainl" from the <icene
Council 4 the hardness of the natural man cou#led +ith religiosit", it is sim#l" not in )od's econom" 4
has no lasting association +ith the beautiful 4 eternal, most hol" #lace truth of the third da" e$#erience
as found in our understanding of Cn-0/20 in its true realit". The change of heart that our *ather +ants of
us is to lea!e all of the old carnal +a"s of religion or reigiosity 4 come into the realisation of the true
Church +hich is the true tem#le +hich has been +ithin oursel!es all along, the Tem#le that is built
without h#n&s, +ithout an" sound of a hammer, this is the org#nism of the cor#orate Christ +hich is
Christ in every m#n +hich He is dra+ing unto Himself in His funess. Come out from among them and
touch not the uncleanness of the reigion of our p#st un&erst#n&ings 4 so +e need to see( Him, dra+
near to Him 4 fee #fter Him for He is not far from an" of us. 8h"D *or in Him we # ive $ move $
