Serving God

Malachi 3

8Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

9Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.

10Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

11And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.

12And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.

I don't think this is not about money at all but offering ourselves,

our lives and input and conversation.

[TheInvisibleDan]

Who being the avatar of God

considered it not robbery to be equal to God

But He emptied His own Self

assuming the form of a slave under law,

arriving in the appearance of a man.

In so fashioning Himself as a man

He humbled His Self

subjecting His Self even to the Death

of the Cross.

Wherefore He ascended on high

and attained a name above every name.

Did the demiurge fear this "Slave" was robbing him?

He seems to have sent the "devourer" after Him -

"Accursed is every one that hangeth on the tree".

Perhaps this Stranger did not give even one tenth of Himself

to this deity's honor. He was a God in His own right.

good points Danny that helps...

and i thought of this in a fashion as i posted

especially with the curse in there

why would god a loving god curse his own creation?

double back to the life that Adam received from the spirit

coming to a head in the life of one man

who emptied himself to be one with the Father

one with the spirit, and defeated the curse...forever

and for everyone

1 John 5:

6This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

7For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

8And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
