Know this truth and have peace

💬 Regarding a special Bible. For the slaves.

Today, Western liberal dictatorships have replaced the religious dogmas their societies relied on with words like freedom, democracy and human rights. These concepts are given the meanings that momentarily benefit NATO-centric regimes and are convenient for making the case they need.

It would seem that democracy – as a phenomenon – cannot be manipulated so easily, not with so many works written on the subject since antiquity. Historical experience cannot be ignored. Or can it? There was a time when even the Bible was subjected to manipulation, let alone some non-canonical concepts of modern political science.

You might say that's impossible. But you would be wrong.

Reverend Beilby Porteus, the Bishop of London published A Letter to the Governors, Legislatures, and Proprietors of Plantations in the British West-India Islands, in which he discussed the religious education of the slaves in the sugar colonies in the Caribbean. “Prepare a short form of public prayers for them together with select portions of Scripture particularly those which relate to the duties of slaves towards their masters,” he wrote.

But the colonizers didn't stop there. Custom prayers were just an appetizer.

Few people remember now, but I can remind you – that a special Bible was published at the turn of the 19th century (NOT joking) specifically for the British colonies, Select Parts of the Holy Bible for the use of the Slaves from Africa in the British West-India Islands.

In global biblical studies, it is referred to as the Slave Bible.

That Bible left out 90 percent of the Old Testament and 50 percent of the New Testament, and included only 232 chapters of the 1,189 in the standard Protestant Bible. For the sake of enslaving the souls of millions of slaves, the clergy heavily redacted the Holy Scriptures, omitting the parts such as Exodus, the Book of Psalms and the Revelation of John the Theologian, which could make slaves think about everyone being equal before God, which was a dangerous idea for slave owners.

The Slave Bibles have been printed in London by Law and Gilbert since the early 19th century, and enjoyed demand, given that there were several reissues.

Two copies of the first edition are kept in universities in Britain, and one in the Fisk University in Tennessee, US.

But liberal dictatorships continue to apply this method wherever they can – they use facts truncated beyond recognition, manipulated to the point where they become ‘anti-facts,’ and they spread them under the holy banners of ‘freedom and democracy’ through controlled media and websites. And those who cannot be controlled are simply destroyed.

The Western versions of freedom and democracy have become symbols that cover up enslavement and sanctify the dictatorship of liberalism.

“We can’t always choose the music life plays for us but we can choose how we dance to it”

The truth is that the music life plays for us, is actually being created by us. It’s not about dancing to the music life plays, it’s about creating the music you want to dance to.

The fact that we create our reality, is the most transformative and empowering knowledge that exists in the universe and it has been purposefully hidden from humanity since time immemorial.

Right now, humanity’s collective consciousness is creating the music we are trying NOT to dance to. This is the schism we are experiencing right now.

The brainwashed masses continue to produce the music their masters are directing them to create; a music in the frequency of fear, anxiety, depression and aggression.

They can barely dance to it anymore; the last two years of plandemic, plus the poisonous jabs, have left most of them lifeless, but their frequency is what maintains the matrix going, which in turn, keeps their masters alive and in control.

Those of us not hypnotised by the mind control media, are trying tirelessly to produce a different tune, the one we want to be dancing to. A melody in the frequency of love, light and freedom.

Our mission is to keep playing it in order to get others to tune into it, so we can make it stronger and louder and eventually overpower the awful noise feeding the current reality.

The change is happening, our beautiful melody is being broadcasted by more and more people and the chaos we see at the moment is the two frequencies clashing.

Don’t let the chaos bring you down, it’s a sign that we are beginning to match the other side in strength. Keep playing our song of freedom, our melody of light and our symphony of creation, in alignment with the General Orchestra Director, also known to as God. Victory is ours.

Mid-Acts Dispensational Right Division is a Gospel Issue

By Justin Johnson

There is no more important issue for humanity than the gospel of our salvation. Yet, when you ask a handful of Christians to explain the gospel rarely do you get a consistent or clear answer.
Common ideas about salvation are experiential and based on performance. These beliefs are not much different than other religions. They sound like this:

– Doing the best I can
– Going to church
– Being good
– Believing in God
– Raised in a Christian home
– Experienced God’s love
More spiritually minded people will recognize that the gospel has something to do with Jesus. We hear the salvation gospel described as “believing in Jesus”, “following Jesus”, “making Jesus Lord of your life”, “accepting Jesus”, “receiving Jesus”, or “loving Jesus”. Pretty much, anything that has to do with Jesus is a legitimate explanation of the gospel for these folks.
Even certified theologians differ about the gospel. Some think God chooses who will be saved. Others think God grants salvation in response to our behavior. Catholics believe it is a sin to presume that you are eternally saved. Now, that is confusion!
The only thing clear about the gospel in Christianity is that few people can articulate it clearly.
The Gospel of Our Salvation
It is not the gospel of salvation merely to believe in Jesus; the devils do that (Mark 1:24, James 2:19).
It is not the gospel to love Jesus with all our heart; the Muslims do that as well.
“Making Jesus Lord” is something the Mormons include in their theology, and every good Hindu “accepts” Jesus (they accept thousands of gods).
None of the beliefs above can save you from God’s rightful judgment against our sins. Paul clearly states the gospel of our salvation in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4.

“… Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: …” – 1 Corinthians 15:3-4

It was through Christ’s death that our sin is removed and we are justified.

“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” – 2 Corinthians 5:21

We receive righteous standing with God by faith.

“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:” – Romans 5:1

Belief in this gospel alone will save you and give you the grace of eternal life (Rom 6:23). First, we hear this gospel of grace. Second, we trust it, then we are saved: no more, no less.

“In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise…” – Ephesians 1:13

The Mystery of the Gospel
What does this have to do with the mystery of Christ and mid-Acts dispensational right division? Everything.
You can find gospel messages in the Bible before the gospel of grace surrounding the covenants, Israel, the Commandments, baptism, the Messiah, and the kingdom. Christians cause confusion when they fail to distinguish between the gospel of the kingdom and the mystery gospel of the grace of God.
No one before the revelation of the mystery of Christ understood the significant meaning of the death of Jesus to all men (Luke 18:34).
The mystery of Christ is the gospel of the grace of God. It is the preaching of the cross for salvation. No one before the revelation of the mystery understood how faith alone could justify sinners (James 2:24). The gospel of grace was kept secret from humanity (1 Cor 2:7-8).
Mid-Acts right division recognizes the difference between God’s progressive instructions in the Bible, and clarifies our understanding of the gospel for today. By separating the gospel of grace from the message of the law, covenants, kingdoms, and baptism the glorious gospel of Christ stands alone.
Resolving the confusions over tithing, tongues, and water baptism are only consequences and not the main benefit of mid-acts dispensational right division. The biggest benefit to the church of learning the mystery of Christ is clarifying the gospel of our salvation.

God bless you brothers and sisters as you share.

The donkey told the tiger, "The grass is blue."

The tiger replied, "No, the grass is green ."

The discussion became heated, and the two decided to submit the issue to arbitration, so they approached the lion.

As they approached the lion on his throne, the donkey started screaming: ′′Your Highness, isn't it true that the grass is blue?"

The lion replied: "If you believe it is true, the grass is blue."

The donkey rushed forward and continued: ′′The tiger disagrees with me, contradicts me and annoys me. Please punish him."

The king then declared: ′′The tiger will be punished with 3 days of silence."

The donkey jumped with joy and went on his way, content and repeating ′′The grass is blue, the grass is blue..."

The tiger asked the lion, "Your Majesty, why have you punished me, after all, the grass is green?"

The lion replied, ′′You've known and seen the grass is green."

The tiger asked, ′′So why do you punish me?"

The lion replied, "That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green. The punishment is because it is degrading for a brave, intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with an ass, and on top of that, you came and bothered me with that question just to validate something you already knew was true!"

The biggest waste of time is arguing with the fanatic who r the fool, who doesn't care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions.

Never waste time on discussions that make no sense. There are people who, for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand. Others who are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and the only thing that they want is to be right even if they aren’t.

When IGNORANCE SCREAMS, intelligence moves on.

let us find the truth and not be donkeys. Truth and reality matters. We can be wrong, learn to accept that. As we navigate this world of donkeys, while we stay silent to avoid conversations with an ass, let's stick together for the truth.

‘Meraki’, a verb, or adverb, a Modern Greek word, derived from the Turkish “Merak”: To do something with soul, creativity, or love, leaving a piece of yourself in what you are doing.

I was not familiar with this word until I stumbled upon it today.

I can honestly claim that I do everything with ‘meraki’, the truth is, I don’t know how to do things any other way.

The world would be a much better, more enjoyable place if everyone did things with love and passion, but I realise that most people are not doing what they would want to be doing and so they do it halfheartedly, at best, in exchange for a paycheck at the end of the month.

Whereas it’s important for a fullfilling life to find one’s purpose, I can assure you that whatever it is that you find yourself doing, if you do it with ‘meraki’ life will reward you.

I often look at people that make no effort in what they are doing, that don’t care for the results and are rarely pleasant to those around them, and I always think to myself; ‘what a shame, they are only making their lives so much more miserable’.

No matter what your situation is, only you have the power to make it better. I know life is complicated and often changing things is not easy, but you can always change your attitude, that is within your power, and changing your attitude is the beginning of positive change.

Always do more than what you are asked for and do it well and with ‘meraki’ and you will see that life will start treating you with ‘meraki’ in return.

Remember this; your attitude becomes the reflection of the reality you will experience. So if you want a better reality, have a better attitude. Adopt ‘meraki’ as your life’s ethos.

THE DISPENSATION OF THE GRACE OF GOD

We, today, live in "the dispensation of the grace of God" to us Gentiles. This dispensation, or program, which God is now conducting is a new program and it is different from His program with the nation of Israel. In this present dispensation, God's program with Israel is set aside and remains temporarily in abeyance, and the "time past" status of Israel being "nigh" to God and the Gentiles being "far off", no longer exists. (Romans 11:11 25; Ephesians 2:11 22) According to the apostle Paul in Ephesians 3:1 6, the revelation of this present dispensation, or program, was something God first made known and committed unto him.

"For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, if ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you ward: how that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:"

This present dispensation is something which was a "mystery" before. God kept it secret unto Himself in ages and generations past, and it wasn't known about before or anticipated. Not until God raised up the apostle Paul and revealed unto him the "mystery of Christ", was this new dispensation of Gentile grace ushered in.

It is extremely important that we understand the "mystery" character of this present dispensation of the grace of God, and that we don't make unwarranted assumptions with the testimony of the word of God. Unfortunately, two assumptions are commonly made by many Christians as they handle the Scriptures, which are at variance with what God teaches us through the apostle Paul.

On the one hand, often times it is assumed that the present dispensation is the program which God has always had in effect. On the other hand, the assumption is often made that even though the apostle Paul says what he does about God committing to him the revelation of this new program, it actually began before God raised up Paul. These are two common assumptions, but they are actually misconceptions which conflict with the testimony of Scripture and only lead to confusion and error. That this present dispensation of Gentile grace has not always been in effect, is evident from what the apostle Paul declares in Ephesians 2:11 12.

"Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; that at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world"

Obviously, Jew and Gentile have not always been on the same level in God's dealings. But rather, in "time past", before God ushered in this dispensation of His grace, we Gentiles were "far off", "without Christ", and "without God in the world". It is erroneous, therefore, to assume that this dispensation of grace has always been in effect. In "time past", it wasn't.

But it is just as erroneous to assume that this change in programs was ushered in by God before He says it was. It is just taken for granted by many that this dispensation of grace was in effect before God raised up the apostle Paul, even though God has the apostle Paul repeatedly declare how that God revealed it and committed it unto him. (Eph. 3:1 12; Col. 1:25 27; Gal. 2:1 10;eg) The assumption is made that the "time past" situation of Eph. 2:11 12 ended when the Lord was here upon the earth, as recorded in the Gospel accounts. Or, at least, once He had died upon the cross. But this, we suggest, is also a misunderstanding, and it needs to be corrected.

THE RECORD OF THE GOSPELS

The testimony of the Gospel accounts is that the "time past" situation of Eph. 2:11 12 WAS in effect when the Lord was here. And if that is the case, then it is evident that God did not have this dispensation of His grace in effect during the earthly ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God's exclusive program with Israel was not only still in effect when Christ was here, it was coming to its climax. Christ had come to be Israel's redeemer, and to provide for them to have their kingdom and so be the blessing to the world God covenanted for them to be. Israel's exclusive "covenants of promise" were what everything focused upon. We Gentiles were still "far off" at this time. God's program was not the dispensing of His grace to us Gentiles as it is today, but rather it was His continued dealings with His people Israel. Consider, for example, the following...

Luke 1:67-79 - This is a prophetic declaration made by John the Baptist's father at the time of John's birth. Notice in verses 68 75 that he "blesses" God for what He was doing at this time. It is plain to see from what Zacharias says that God was still dealing with Israel in His special covenant relationship to them. Israel was preparing at this time for the fulfillment of all the things God's holy prophets had been speaking about. They were preparing for God to "perform the mercy promised unto the fathers" and "to remember His holy covenant which He made with Abraham". It is obvious from this that God at this time was not bringing in a new dispensation of His grace for us Gentiles, which was a "mystery". Also, it is obvious, that Israel was not set aside at this time.

Matthew 3:1-2; 4:17; Mark 1:14 15 - In these passages it is stated that the gospel being preached at this time was "the gospel of the kingdom". This was the good news about the time being “fulfilled" and the "kingdom of heaven being at hand". That kingdom was what Israel was waiting for in fulfillment of the Davidic covenant. (Luke 1:26 33; Isa. 9:6 7; Dan. 2:44)

It was what the prophets foretold would be established by the coming of the Messiah, the son of David. It was the literal kingdom of the Messiah brought down from heaven to be established in the land of Israel. The prophet Daniel had prophesied the time at which it would come, as recorded back in Dan. 2:44, and 9:24ff. Because the time which Daniel had spoke of was just about completed, the kingdom of heaven was being preached as being "at hand". Again, it is obvious from this that God's special program and dealings with Israel were still in effect at this time, and the "mystery" of the dispensation of Gentile grace was not the issue.

Matthew 10:1-7; 15:21-28; Mark 7:24 30 - Here are some passages which show us that the Lord's ministry at this time was pointedly limited to the people of Israel, and that the Gentiles were not to be dealt with. Notice that the Lord's commissioning of the 12 apostles involved giving them the power to perform signs which testified to the reality of Israel's kingdom actually being "at hand". But especially notice that the Lord instructed the 12 not to preach to the Gentiles, or even to the Samaritans, but they were to "go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel". This was so because it was Israel's kingdom which was "at hand", and the program of God with them involved them receiving their kingdom and glory first, and then for them to be the blessing to the rest of the world in their kingdom. Just as the Lord told the Gentile woman, He was sent "only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel", and "the children" were to be filled "first". We Gentiles were still "dogs" and "far off" at this time. Again, it is evident the dispensation of Gentile grace was not in effect at this time.

THE RECORD OF THE BOOK OF ACTS

Sometimes it is assumed that when the Lord Jesus was rejected and crucified, that at this time God set Israel aside and ushered in this present dispensation of His grace to us Gentiles. But it should be equally obvious from the testimony of God's word that this also is not correct. The book of Acts, which records the things which took place following Christ's resurrection and ascension back to heaven, clearly shows in the opening chapters that God continued to deal with Israel in His special relationship to them. Israel's kingdom program was still the program God was administering. Consider, for example, the following...

Acts 1:6 - The question of the apostles at this time was a natural one. The restoring again of the kingdom to Israel was what the program was all about at this time. They had just spent some forty days being instructed by the Lord following His resurrection, in "the things pertaining to the kingdom of God". What they had begun with the Lord was continuing on. They didn't expect things to change. They didn't ask about a new dispensation being brought in. And the Lord didn't correct them, which He would have done had they misunderstood what God was doing.

Acts 2:1 40 - The miraculous wonder producing events of the day of Pentecost are not explained by Peter to be the bringing in of a new dispensation of God's grace to the Gentiles. But rather, he explained them to be the initial fulfillment of the things the prophet Joel had spoken about. Joel prophesied about the things that would take place in Israel's "last days" leading up to the establishment of the kingdom. Joel didn't prophesy about a new dispensation, or the birthday of the church, the body of Christ. He foretold the various signs and wonders that would be taking place as Israel's time schedule for her kingdom entered its "last days". "This is that" which was taking place on the day of Pentecost.

Acts 3:12-26 - It is easy to see in view of what Peter says to the people of Israel here, that their kingdom program is still in effect and that God had not set them aside yet. Notice in verses 19 26, that Peter urges them to respond positively to God's extension of mercy unto them, seeing they crucified their Christ in ignorance. But notice especially that Peter tells them that they lived in the time which all the prophets have looked forward to and foretold of. Peter doesn't preach about a new dispensation of Gentile grace. He doesn't set forth "the preaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since before the world began", as was committed by God to Paul later on. But rather, he offers the prophesied kingdom to these "men of Israel", who were "the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers". Obviously, Israel was not yet set aside by God, and His program and dealings were still with them at this time.

THE NEW APOSTLE PAUL

There is a need to recognize the significance of the Lord's unexpected returning from heaven to raise up a new apostle, as the 9th chapter of the book of Acts tells us about. Though various reasons for this have been taught by men, including laxity on the part of the 12 and the like; the reason God Himself gives through the testimony of the apostle Paul is entirely different.

This new apostle Paul is "the apostle of the Gentiles" in accordance with the ushering in of the new "dispensation of the grace of God" to us Gentiles, just as is taught in Ephesians 3:1 12. Israel, and her program, have been temporarily set aside, as Paul teaches in Romans 11:1 25. God has now, according to the revelation of "the mystery of Christ" given to Paul, turned to us Gentiles and is accomplishing a purpose He has with us, which He kept secret "in ages and generations past."

As Christians, we need to understand the distinctiveness of this new dispensation, along with Paul's apostleship. For it is in the epistles of Paul, the "apostle of the Gentiles", that we have the doctrine and instructions from God which are expressly TO us and ABOUT us today.
