American Sectarianism

American sectarianism is born of water, but not born of Spirit.

John3:5"Jesus answered, verily, verily I say unto you; except a man be born of water and Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."

Born of water means several things. The human is born from male sperm - water; the body is about three quarters water; the baby in the womb grows in a "bag of water" which breaks just before birth "watering the baby's way" through the birth canal.

Conception, when life begins to form in the womb by means of sperm/water, is the natural parallel to what occurs in a human when they are "quickened" or "made alive" within by the Spirit, which is symbolic of "water". Spirit (water) has made the human "alive to God" and given the human the ability to believe, BUT THIS IS NOT THE NEW BIRTH EXPERIENCE WHICH MOST PROFESSING CHRISTIANITY THINKS. This is Spiritual "con-
ception" and the beginning of the formation of the Spiritual "baby".

American sectarianism is in the stage I call "water school". They
think they are "born again/born from above", but are not. This quickening or making alive is the "beginning of school". They are surrounded by water (Spirit) and have their being by water (Spirit), but are not yet born of Spirit. This is revealed by their attitude toward the "time" they are living in. They are very upset at the time.

Matt.24:12" And because of lawlessness being brought to the full, the love of the many shall grow cold."

The "time" they are upset at is what Jesus is referring to when He says, "because lawlessness being brought to the full". This is the time we are living in at the present. Daniel calls this the "exhausting of indignation".

Because American sectarianism is not born of Spirit it cannot see the hand of God directing all things and bringing all things to their ultimate climax in this time according to His purposes. Man
is unknowingly coming to the end of himself in this age all the while thinking and making plans for what he thinks is his ultimate perfection. He is beginning to say, "At last! Peace and safety!";(1Thess. 5:3), but they know not that sudden calamity is coming upon them as soon as they utter those words in their heart. Their end shall be the fulfillment of Ps. 2:4-5 and Pro.
1:24-32.

Because American sectarianism cannot see God in everything, they fight against evil(lawlessness), thereby making it stronger
and enabling what they are fighting against; for example
homosexuality and it's pervasive influence in the country. The
queers already know their practices are evil, for God has already made it a point for those to hear it within themselves via the very acts they perform, so they are without excuse.

Knowing

At one time Jesus made a statement, "many will come to me in that day saying Lord!Lord!, we have prophesied in your name and done many wonderful works in your name! And I will say unto them, depart from me you workers of iniquity, for I NEVER KNEW YOU."

Jesus knows all. How could he say he "never knew" these? From the Father's perspective there are two "types" of or kinds of "knowing"- referring to humans.

One type I will call "knowing at or from a distance", which is the type of knowing in this incident where Jesus is speaking. These who professed to have a close intimate relationship with Jesus; ie, "in his name", did not have a corresponding character or quality of knowing from Jesus' side. They were claiming an intimate knowledge or relationship with him, which he did not have with them. He would not have said what he said if he did not "know" their hearts-their true self glorifying motives. So he did "know" them, but as though from a distance, but not intimately. He is refuting their so-called "knowing" of him, which he KNEW to be false.

True knowing presupposes intimacy; similar to that of a husband and wife's loving relationship of initiation and response to initiation. It is experience, not mental. One cannot "know" the Father and "know" the adversary also.

If one is in intimacy with the Father, then the adversary is "put to sleep" within that individual. The adversary is described as a "roaring lion" which speaks of his accusatory work; and a serpent, which is deception and deceit. Both aspects are lying thievery. All this is silenced within the individual who lives in intimacy with the Father. These individuals are called sons of God.

Books

As every individual lives his life, he or she is "writing a book". The book contains every thought and every action generated by thought in the individual's entire life. This is what is referred to in Rev.20:12 as "......and BOOKS were opened"and,"......the dead were judged out of the things written in the BOOKS according to their works." Works are those things carried out through/by the soul/body in accordance with thought.

Note that these individuals are/were "dead" who were judged according to their works as revealed in the "books". This judgment has already been completed in the Spirit realm and is being carried out in the time dimension, present day continuous, by showing itself in the physical bodies of those "dead" so judged. The "dead" are "dead in trespasses and sins". They are the "dead" Jesus referred to when He said,"let the dead bury their dead."
