The Primary Colors

I have a profound Christian belief, however I am not religious. I do meet with other Christians, however I do not 'go to church' in the sense that most Christians understand, 'going to church'. I believe in the Triune God, three into one, yet separate. I eat the bread and drink the wine in remembrance of Our Lord, every time we meet together. I read the word, in depth. Practically, no biblical words pass by my ears, without me having some remembrance of them, and a way to reference what I've heard, and what the meaning is. Everything I just wrote to you is a complete understatement, when it comes to my love and devotion to the Holy Spirit. 2 Tim 2:15, "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman, cutting straight the word of the truth." In today's Christianity, the worship of Jesus Christ, in 'spirit and truthfulness' has been lost over the centuries, so much so, that I am almost ashamed to call myself, a Christian. I've researched the foundation of The Church, and the divisiveness of churches and religion. With that knowledge in mind, I know that we have many young saints here. I have found many different beliefs and understandings here. Like, "I honor the Sabbath". "I obey the ten commandments". And I see spent pages on the issues, and debates into the issues, and, most all of it, is mute. The saints don't possess the primary colors of the truth, to paint the whole picture. Because, the very foundation from which today's Christianity is built on, is sullied. Because, the churches, use limited color, [doctrine(s)], and, the church leaders who head the churches, don't possess the primary colors of the truth, and therefore, can't paint the whole picture either. They are limited, restrained, restricted, and or, drowned out by their monochromatic setting, their church. If they did paint the complete picture, (and include all the colors) everything that they do, and all that you do, "in the name of Christ" will be changed, evermore. (That does not make everyone right, by no stretch of the imagination!). The educators that got most all of us here, and their educators, and so forth, back to about 190 A.D. has gotten Christ, "lost in translation". Most of you have far too many affinities, and are too dissipated with them, to learn from anyone. I will always point you to Christ, however. I have always pointed my brothers and sisters of LIBAW, to the Holy Spirit of Christ Jesus. Tell me, what can be made from the three primary colors? All the colors of the rainbow. It is then, that you will finally see the whole, entire picture of the Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus. And God's planned design for all of us. The predicament just described, of the churches, and the leaders in them, are in a vicious cycle of entrapment, by Satan. Remember, vicious cycle. 1 John, 3:3, "And anyone who has his hopes set on Him purifies himself, even as He is pure." 2 Corinthians 2:11, "That we may not be taken away by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes." Matthew 13:4, "And as he sowed, some seeds fell beside the way, and the birds came and devoured them." 19 "And when anyone hears the word of the Kingdom and does not understand, the evil one comes and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is the one sown beside the way." I am going to put you in a place of discomfort, just for a minute. First, let's refresh, what I think you already know. The main symptom of Satan and his world is "the evil" of division. 1 Corinthians 1:12 "Now I mean this, that each of you says, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ." This is exactly the same as saying, "I am a Baptist," "I am a Presbyterian," "I am an Episcopalian," "I am a Lutheran"...etc. In 1 Corinthians 1:10 Paul says, “Now I beseech you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be attuned in the same mind and in the same opinion.” From this verse the apostle begins to deal with the divisions among the Corinthians. First, he beseeches them through the name of our Lord, which is the name above all names (Phil. 2:9) and should be the unique name among all His believers. However, by ranking the names of Paul, Apollos, and Cephas with the name of Christ, the divisive Corinthians made the same kind of mistake Peter made on the mount of transfiguration when he ranked Moses and Elijah with Christ (Matt. 17:1-8). To keep the oneness in the Lord and to avoid divisions, we need to uplift and exalt the unique name of our Lord by dropping all names other than this highest name. All such designations should be condemned and rejected. They can be eliminated and terminated only by taking Christ as the unique center among all believers. I educate myself here. I just gained knowledge from the the previous verse, Hallelujah! 1 Cor 1:12, We need to know that to say, "I am of Christ." in the way of excluding others and their teachings, is as divisive as to say, "I am of" this or, "I am of" that. Hallelujah! God, talk to me! Amen! These verses, 1 Corinthians 1:10-13, indicate that divisions among Christians always result from placing another name above the name of the Lord Jesus. When certain of the Corinthians said, “I am of Apollos,” they automatically uplifted the name of Apollos above the name of Christ. Throughout the centuries, divisions among Christians have been caused by this practice. Today believers commonly designate themselves as Lutherans, Presbyterians, or Baptists without any sense of shame. Actually it is a shame for a Christian to call himself a Lutheran, for this means that he places the name of Luther above the name of Christ. No believer should do such a thing. Church is a place of division, every one of them. Then, let the truth be known, that the church leaders are deceived. Christ is unique and is not divided. This unique and undivided Christ, taken as the unique center among all the believers, should be the termination of all divisions. For anyone to attempt to contemplate the exact manner of which the church leaders are deceived, is frightful beyond measure. If the church leaders are knowledgeable of their place, in "the evil" of division under Satan. Then, they knowingly teach and educate, under the division of Satan! (I feel a big "Duh!" coming on here, but, I, I just can't) I don't really want to mention that it is an impossible misconception to believe that the church leaders don't have this knowledge! You would have to, never have seen a bible! In your life! And the, "frightful beyond measure", and sad portion of this little blog, is, the higher the church leaders are, the more likely it is that, they know. 2 Thessalonians 2:3&4, "Let no one deceive you in any way, because it will not come unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of perdition. 4 Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or an object of worship, so that he sits in the temple of God, setting himself forth, saying that he is God." If the church leaders, ever are lead by the unique and undivided Christ, then, they would not be, where they are. And that's the vicious cycle of Satan I mentioned to you earlier. Deuteronomy 12:2&3, You shall completely destroy all the places where the nations whom you will dispossess have served their gods, on the high mountains and on the hills and under every flourishing tree. 3 And you shall tear down their alters and crush their pillars; and their Asherahs you shall burn with fire, and the idols of their gods you shall cut down; and you shall destroy their name from that place." Now you can go back to being comfortable. The thesis on "The Primary Colors", is to convey to the brother and sisters in LIBAW, that I have an all out active participation in The Body of Christ. And, that my participation here is not only of the mind, but mainly, of the spirit. That I acknowledge all the saints here as brothers and sisters in the Lord, and I have a very in-depth understanding of where most saints have come from on their pathway toward their inherency in worship of the Christ "in spirit and truthfulness". That the Spirit has shown The Body, the meaning behind His words, and what the basic theme behind the words in the bible are, along with His will, for all saints. And, I mention what the obstacles are, according to His word, that obscure most of the saints from reaching their potential to the full glory of Christ Jesus. In addition to that, I state in all truthfulness, that I love them all, and I will never veer away from the object for which He has set out for us all. To be one in The Body of Christ. I highlight the main obstacles, from the individual man of Christ, up to the corporate level, the churches, of what is called "today's Christianity". In short, Christ, and the building up of the body for His full expression is the immediate goal, and I explain, why this is an issue of immense, failed proportion, according to His word. The point. The point is, that the obstacles that exsist in all of the reality, of what is called "today's Christianity" does not exist in The Body Of Christ, according to His word, and actions of The Body. The solution, is to be in The Body Of Christ. Farther information about The Church, and a local near you, can be obtained through contacting me, in private a message, from my page. Brother Levi Lane

Comment by mechelle robinson on June 20, 2009 at 4:09pm: Sorry it took so long to respond back Levi, and with that clarification I do agree with you.I just dont like alot of debating and pointing the finger.Jesus wasnt like that.I dont want to blame the protestants, the jews the baptists or anyone.It would be a blessing if we all could just come together for 1 purpose and dare I say......POOL MONEY, for the work of christ.Why will some denominations only help their own? Of course, thats MAN docterine and we can go on forever discussing it.You know what brother Levi, I have Hope and Faith and LOVE for God. I know God can put it in everyones hearts to help one another.I also know he works in his own time, so in the mean time lets continue to do our parts in the communities and in the churches and lead by example.I love that, because people can see us out there and hopefully that will touch some folks.Im sorry, but happy to say, this financial crisis is going to have more good people coming to christ than ever before. People willfinally begin to realize it is better to give than receive, AND THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL.Im full with Love and contentment but I had to fall, years ago to get where I am at now, so lets continue to pray for everyone that they too can experience the joy of Christ.Love you Brother Levi and I apologize again about not understanding the original piece.I love the picture of the girls too.

Comment by Alicia Smith on June 19, 2009 at 10:06am: Well Brotha Levi I agree. I'm sick and tired of all this division also inside individual churches and as believers of God as a whole. There is an EVIL SPIRIT OF RELIGION CONTAMINATING ALL CHURCHES AND BELIEVERS. I have seen it in action in many churches. It causes division from GOD'S TRUTH and that is why THE CHURCHES HAS DIVIDED AND FELL. ALL THE FALSE DOCTRINE AND FALSE TEACHINGS IS PROOF. Anything divided from GOD's Truth will fall.

Comment by mechelle robinson on June 18, 2009 at 8:01am: Im glad you asked Levi because you seem like an intelligent person so I was hoping that a fighter for God would let the enemy corrupt his mind.I Have a question about both pieces collectively.Just as Carol said Corinth was already corrupt and I explained in my second message Paul knew this and thats why he was writing the church to see what was causing the division and FIX IT.What is your focus in both pieces?What is your thesis?What is your point you are trying to make.Are you trying to get solutions or are you just talking.Once you break those down then I can know how to proceed.Thank you again for some clarification.The devil is in the midst of any confusion.In Mark 4:23 it states anyone with an ear to hear should listen and understand.Mine are open.

Comment by Levi Lane on June 18, 2009 at 2:07am: Sister Mechelle, I'd like to clairfy any confusion about the blogs I have written, and any questions you may have into them. Please, copy the text in the blog and paste it in the 'add a comment' box and bold it if you will. Thank you. Remember this, A major stimulant to creative thinking is focused questions. There is something about a well-worded question that often penetrates to the heart of the matter and triggers new ideas and insights. – Brian Tracy. Thank you, Brother Levi

Comment by mechelle robinson on June 18, 2009 at 12:53am: Carol you are right corinth is very much like America.Which is why this conversation needs to be handled ith kit gloves Apostle paul was not concentrating on who caused the division honestly thats irrevelant.He knew that if he focused on that we would get to where we are at now (debating and who are we saving) Mark 3:25 (My grandmother always said a house divided shall fall).Have you ever heard of we are all one body.The foot, the leg, the arm, we all make up the church.Lets focus on how Paul solved the problem and do that.I personally dont argue or debate its a waste of God given energy on someone that obviously just needs prayer.The first primary colors you had me brother.The second one you lost me.I think you have a problem I still struggle with reading into things too much.Lets pray for eachother on that, shall we? Paul prayed/gave thanks first (Read the whole chapter it teaches you problem solving skills).paul then stated the problems, not dwelling on them, he spk about God wisdom because he didnt want them to loose focus (Its not about the baptists lutherans, protestants or whoever).We need to refocus people sometimes on why we are doing what we are doing and how great God is.He explains his position then goes into the problems an lining them up with the word and explaininng why theses problems are immoral (Basically asking yourself would jesus do it).He gave solutions lined up with the Bible.He told them about Love being the greatest he even explained what it is.He told .1 Corinthians 17 Each of you should continue to live in whatever situation the Lord has placed you, and remains as you were when God first called you (this was to nonmarried people).He doesnt wont us to make huge moves just to let God lead us.We need different churches.1Corinthians 15, Dont you realize we are all bodies of christ.Levi lets not change what we have brother lets make what we have better.Love you again brother.

Comment by Levi Lane on June 18, 2009 at 12:42am: Points of humor in the blog. "(if I am to be...loving, in Christ), (Smile, if you knew I was going here), (I feel a big "Duh!" coming on here, but, I, I just can't)". And, "Now you can go back to being comfortable." That's not funny, unless you really can identify with the prophecy I just laid down.

Comment by Levi Lane on June 18, 2009 at 12:30am: I'm not angry at all Sister Mechelle, I'm loving the Lord and I have, and did have a smile on my face the entire time I wrote these blogs. I'm smiling right now. "I educate myself here. I just gained knowledge from the the previous verse, Hallelujah! 1 Cor 1:12, We need to know that to say, "I am of Christ." in the way of excluding others and their teachings, is as divisive as to say, "I am of" this or, "I am of" that. Hallelujah! God, talk to me! Amen! You didn't get this far? You'd know that I was happy. The difficult part is finding the text and versus of what I already know. I know it, I got to find it, and put it down in an articulation that most people will want to read and understand. That is the only part of writing the blogs that is serious. If the Spirit don't move me, I can't move within it. The Spirit is good! Amen!

Comment by mechelle robinson on June 18, 2009 at 12:16am: Wow Levi, It was hard for me to even finish reading the second one it was filled with so much anger and rage.Im going to pray for you and pray for me too.Im going to give you this and I would love for you to receive it.Please pray before you do though brother, lol.1Corinthians 18-25 (I understand).Proverbs 14:29.Mathew 23 1:8.Proverbs 8:13.Romans 12:16.I love you brother and Im doing it with actions because actions speak louder than words, I John 3:18.Stay encouraged.

Comment by mechelle robinson on June 17, 2009 at 11:59pm: I guess God wanted me to keep this short because i just spent 15 minutes writing a comment that disappeared, lol.Brother Levi I understand exactly what you mean about not getting the big picture and I hope when you find a ministy you love you commit the same amount of passion to saving souls.I love you Brother Levi-Matthew-Tax Collector.When you get a chance read and digest Matthew 23 that will help you with your current pastor it helped with mine.1 Corinthians helped also because the greatest of theses 3 is LOVE, lol.Love your spiritual leaders but you shouldnt feel intmidated or like your beneath someone.We also shouldnt feel so full of pride that we wont do the right thing....but its a way to do them.We really cant criticize because I know you know Levi, he who has no sin cast the first stone, it was written in sand,lol.Talk your pastor about the problems you see and if you cant, PRAY FOR him.Handle your problems how Paul handled the problems in Corinth.I love you brother, Your sister in Christ Mechelle.
