St Matthew, Chapter 19, verse: 12b, Who can accept His teachings?

Our paragraph topic is:  (Continence preferred to marriage) Part 4.

Who can accept this teaching of marriage without divorce?  Christ told his disciples that not all can accept it.  But for those who would try he set the ground rules that they should follow.  Man and woman should stay together.  There should be no separation except in the case of immorality.  And marriage to one who has been put away by written notice, is considered adultery.  These were the ground rules that Christ gave his disciples that they would know the will of the Father as he created them from the beginning.

God our Father had a purpose when he created them male and female.  He had a plan that would allow man to participate in the creation of physical life and spiritual life.  But there was evil that also had a plan.  Evil wanted to change man.  Evil wanted to make man for itself.  Evil wanted to have man participate in the creation for the worship of evil.  So the examples were set.  The participants were allowed.  And the beginning of the change took place and has remained throughout time.  For who can accept this teaching.  Christ told his disciples:  "And there are eunuchs who were made so by men." 

Eunuch made so by men, these are they who can accept this teaching.  These are they who have been changed by man.  These are they who have no say in the creation of the physical and the spiritual.  But for the rest of mankind, what do they say?  Can they accept this teaching?  Can they believe in God's plan?  Can they come together, stay together, and become one flesh, become one spirit?  Is this the will of God that we abide by?  Can we agree to this teaching in a world that isolates us if we accept this teaching?

Eunuch can abide by this teaching.  Why can we not abide by it?  Acceptance is the key.  Obedience is the rule.  Knowledge is the foundation.  Love is the food that keeps us together and allows us to grow beyond the physical into the spiritual.  Physical love is love of death.  Physical love is love of passion.  Physical love is love of that which is decaying.  Yet we are given the physical each and every day.  Even though we live and abide in the physical we are spiritual in nature and it is the love of the spirit that will elevate us to a new where we can accept the teachings of Christ.  Are you ready, both male and female, to accept?

He came that we would have life.  He came that we would not die.  He came that we would have knowledge of the Father and have insight into the Father's will.  And it is through the will of the Father that we live, breathe, and exist.  He made them male and female and it is the choice of both male and female to know the will of the Father.  With this knowledge we can live.  With this knowledge we can survive.  With this knowledge we can succeed and accept the teachings that Christ has given us.  But it takes both male and female.  Both must know.  Both must believe.  Both must see the truth of who they are in Christ.  Both must open their hearts to the consolation of the Holy Spirit that they may have the knowledge of who they are in him.  For in Him and through Him and by Him we become one with the Father.

St Matthew, Chapter 19, verse: 12a, Who can accept His teachings?

Our paragraph topic is:  (Continence preferred to marriage) Part 3.

His teachings were given that day that he told his disciples about marriage and adultery.  Through Christ the Father told the world of his plans, his purpose for man and woman.  For they were created with a purpose, a plan.  They were designed physically to bond together.  They were given from birth to cleave to one another and to become one flesh.  For through one flesh they would create.  Through one flesh they would provide the physical beings for the future.  Through one flesh they would open the door to all the others that would come after them.

The disciples did not understand.  They did not see the plan, the purpose.  They were still in the physical and not in the spirit.  They had not yet been reborn in the spirit of Christ and the justice the he would bring to the whole of mankind.  Through temptation man was disobedient.  Through deceit mankind died.  Through death mankind was doomed.  But Christ came and redeemed all.  He came and brought the teachings of his Father that all would know his will.  And he left with us the living words to open our hearts and give life to our souls that we could know the truth of who we are in him.  Who can accept his teachings on bonding and adultery? "For there are eunuchs who were born so from their mother's womb."

There are those who were born eunuchs from their mother's womb.  These are those who can accept his teaching.  They have no issue with bonding.  They have no issue with marriage.  They have no issue with becoming one flesh.  They are without the means to bond.  Yet they were created in the image and likeness of God our Father.  They are physical and spiritual.  They have a purpose.  They belong to the plan.  They are children of the father just as you and I are also.

He created us all.  He gives us life.  He protects and provides.  He guides us if we allow.  For the decision is ours to make.  The path is ours to walk.  The life is ours to lead if we choose.  Be not deceived.  Be not led astray.  Be not an evil doer.  For those are the unknowing.  Those are the ones who are of the flesh and not of the spirit.  Those are the ones that are led by the inclinations of evil.  Where are you?  What do you believe?  What do you know about who you are?  Or do you know who you are?

Many would think that they are physical in the body.  Many would believe that they are flesh and bone and nothing else.  Yet within the flesh is a spirit.  Within the flesh is the life.  Within the flesh is the likeness given us by the Father.  Can you believe?  Can you accept?  Can you truly know the spirit within?  Christ gave us the truth.  He told us who we are.  He spoke on many occasions of the life that is within.  Yet we do not believe.  We do not accept.  We do not know.  The world has not taught us so.  So we walk through life without the knowledge of who we are in Him. 

Come!  Seek the truth in who you are.  Search and find the knowledge that will awaken the flame of your spirit and you will see.  Do not be afraid.  For the world will tell you not.  The world will whisper to you falsely.  The world would have you ignorant.  Christ came to give life.  He died that we would be awaken.  He arose that there would be witnesses to the truth.  And he sits at the right hand of the Father that we may see his majesty and glory.  His advocate awaits your awakening.  His advocate calls to your heart.  The Holy Spirit sits at your door waiting to be invited in.  Open the door to your heart and you will know the peace and joy that this world cannot offer.  Come!  Know Christ!
