From the revelation of poo I saw the alternative which God does want. Riches - every worldly success - are as excrement. Only gaining/taking on Spirit matters. So I thought I would share John chapter three with you. You will note that what it says in the language Jesus spoke is quite different from what the Western translators think it should have said.
Of special note are verses 3 and 5: we must be born from the head, i.e., from the waters and from the Spirit of God. This would indicate to me that the waters in Genesis 1:7-10 are psychological, related to thought and not linear history. OMG. People trying to reconcile physics with the spiritual matriculation of a man and woman. The Bible is about the transition to Spirit, to becoming the actual living Manifestation of the Ineffable Being.
Also of note are verses 14-16. Moses lifted the darkness of man's ignorance by the light of life. No bronze serpent, but the light of life - Jesus - lifted up.
Verse 33 is exceptional. The word 'Gospel' is euangelion in the Greek, and in its earliest use it meant "reward." The ancient heralds went out to announce good news and RECEIVED a gospel, a reward, from the people they announced it to. We are to preach the reward, for God does not give [forth] the Spirit in increments* (by measure). THIS is the purpose of the church (see verse 11's "we"), to get people birthed from the Head, the Spirit or consciousness of the Ineffable. Preach the REWARD!! And you get it all in a lump. Try not to speak in an ecstatic language when THAT happens!
John Three
1. There was a man* (human [being]) from the Pharisees, his name was Nicodemus, leader of the Jews,
2. Who came to Jesus in the night, and said to him, "Rabbi, I know that from God you have been sent a teacher, for no one* (human [being]) can be found [who can] perform these signs that you are doing, unless God is with him."
3. Jesus replied and said to him, "Amen, amen, I say to you, if [the] human [being] is not born from above* (the head, or again), they cannot see the Kingdom of God."
4. Nicodemus said to him, "How can an old man get born, how can he enter his mother's womb a second time* (season), to become born [again?]
5. Jesus replied and said to him, "Amen, amen, I am telling you, if [the] human [being] is not born from the waters and the Spirit, they cannot enter the Kingdom of God.
6. "Whoever is born of the flesh, is of the flesh, and whoever is born of the Spirit, is of the Spirit.
7. "Do not be surprised that [they] tell you, that it is expected of you to be born from above (ed.-the head).
8. "The Spirit moves [you] for [the sake of] its own fulfillment, and you listen to its voice; except, you do not know from where it came and where it went. This is how it is with every human [being] who is born of the Spirit."
9. Nicodemus replied and said to him, "How can such things be?"
10. Jesus answered him, "You [are] a teacher of Israel and you do not know this?
11. "Amen, amen, I say to you, of the things that we know, we speak, and to the things that we have seen we are testifying, [yet] you do not accept our testimony.
12. "If I tell you about earthly [things] and you do not believe, how then if I tell you about heavenly [things] will you believe?
13. "No human [being] goes up to heaven, except the one who comes down from heaven, the Son of Man who was in heaven.*
14. "And just as Moses lifted the darkness by the light of life, this is how you should glorify* (lift up) the Son of Man.
15. "So that every human [being] who believes in him does not [go to] oblivion, except that they may have life everlasting* (to the [end of the] universe).
16. "For this is how [much] God loved humanity, that he gave forth his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him does not perish* ([go] to oblivion), except that they may have life everlasting.
17. "For God did not send his Son to the world* (the people) to condemn (to judge) people, except that people shall live* (be saved [by him]) by his hand* (grace).
18. "Whoever believes in him, is not condemned; and whoever does not believe, has [already] been condemned long ago, [whoever] does not believe in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19. "For this is the judgment: that the light came to the people, and the people loved the darkness more than the light, for they [only] wanted to do evil [things.]
20. "For whoever does hateful [things,] hates the light and does not come to the light, so as not to be reprimanded for their doings.
21. "The one who does good* [things] (the truth) comes to the light, so as to make known his doings to God, [to make known] that by God's [will] they are done."
22. After Jesus [taught] these [things,] he came to Judea, (and) where he visited [with the people there] and baptized.
23. John also was baptizing at Aenon* (Eye) near Salim* (in Aramaic, this is pronounced "Shalim," which means: "adhere to," or "follow," etc.), for the waters were plentiful there and they came and were baptized.
24. Because John was still not thrown in prison.
25. There arose a question between one of the disciples of John and a Jew over [ceremonial] washing.
26. And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, the one who was with you at the crossing of the Jordan [river,] of whom you testified, behold, he is also baptizing and many are coming to him."
27. John replied and said to them, "No human [being] can of his own will [receive] anything, unless it comes to him from heaven.
28. "You are my witnesses that I said, 'I am not the Anointed One, except the apostle before him.'
29. "Whoever has a bride is the bridegroom. His best man, who stands at attention, is overjoyed as he hears the voice of the bridegroom [calling on him.] (his best man, who stands [in anticipation] to hear him, a great joy he [experiences] because of the voice of the bridegroom)*
30. "To him it was destined to be great, to me to be little* (to him [it] was given in abundance, to me shrinkingly).
31. "Because the one who comes from above, is above all, and the one [who comes] from the earth, is from the earth and preaches* ([gives] speeches) from the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above all.
32. "And the thing that he sees and hears, he gives testimony to, and his testimony no one accepts.
33. "The one who accepts his testimony, [takes on] God's true seal.34. "Because the one sent by God, preaches the words of God, for God does not give [forth] the Spirit in increments* (by measure).
35. "The Creator loves the Son and everything is given in his hands.
36. "Whoever believes in the Son, possesses everlasting life; and whoever does not cling onto the Son, will not see [eternal]* ("eternity" is always expressed in terms of "the universe") life, except the wrath of God shall fasten itself upon him."
The "wrath" of God? YHWH will lose none of His, the spiritually matriculated. Perhaps "wrath" is illustration of the literal being forgotten of God, relegated to oblivion. YOU MUST BE BORN FROM THE HEAD. "Down with the bluebloods!" shouted God to Neville Goddard. You do not get the Spirit from outward religion, ceremony, or ascetics. Getting God's Spirit is INWARD, in your heart, in your submission to God. He loves you like verse 16, the Illustration taking the bruising. JESUS THE MESSIAH IS THE FULFILLMENT OF THE REWARD YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND TO THE END OF THE UNIVERSE (Hebrews 13:8)
