@OLAADEGBU'
may God continue to bless you.may His Grace and Mercy never depart from you all the days of your life,in Jesus name.Amen, you just dont have gift.you(yourself) are a gift to the body of Christ.

Who is the father of God,since,God has a mother?.the Father and the Son are one and the same?Jhn1:1.
How can Mary be sinless?was she not born of the blood,the will of a man and by the flesh?i thought she had earthly parents,if so,she was a sinner by birth,wether she commit sins or not,as long as she was born of blood,by will of her parents and of the flesh(Jhn1:13).
There's no Queen in Heaven,praying and worshipping any other person directly/indirectly apart from our Lord Jesus Christ,Himself,is demonic,from the pit of hell.

James2:14,says"What is the profit,my brothers,if anyone says he has faith,but does not have work".
In the above verse James didn't say whether this man is a believer or not,he only said that, this man says he have Faith.if he actually have Faith before God,there's no need to talk about it,the man James was talking about is a boastful man.someone that likes to print faith on his forehead for everyone to see,
James said"if anyone"he didn't say "if any Christain"James was not talking about having or not having Faith,he's not dealing with the works of Christains,but with those who say they are Christains.
James2:14;"can that faith save him" what is "that faith".James refers to "that faith" not simply faith. That is,the faith some people have on their lips,can such faith save him?(lip service).
James was actually talking about nominal church members.   
2.A rich young man came to Jesus and asked"Good Master,what good thing shall  i "DO" that i may "HAVE" Enternal Life?(Matt19:16).
Since he wants something to "DO"
our Lord Jesus mentioned somethings he must"DO"(Matt19:18-19).he Boastfully declared"All these i have kept" but within he knew something was very wrong"what do i still lack?(Matt19:20).
Christ told him to give all he had to the poor.it suddenly dawned on him that he cant "DO" to enter.(Matt19:21-22).
The camel mentioned in (Matt19:24)is our work("DOINGS".
For with man its impossible but with God all things are possible(Matt19:26).
We should stop mixing Enternal Life and the Kingdom of Heaven,let me illustrate;i am a Nigerian,because i was born a Nigerian no work from my part was involved(thats like been born again,i believe by Faith in our Lord  Jesus Christ no work was involved,immediately i have Enternal Life,thats Salvation by Faith),as a Nigerian if i want to become the president and rule the  nation i have to work for it(thats,reigning in the kingdom of Heaven,it demands our Salvation been worked out),the presidency is for four years just like the Kingdom reign is for a thousand year(Rev20:2)but Enternal Life is forever,just like after the four years am still a Nigerian.

@coolviv
in Jhn3:3,Jesus Declared,"I tell you the truth,no one can See the Kingdom of God unless he is born again".
Nicodemus asked Him"how can a man be born when he is old? "surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb to be born"
in Jhn6:63,our Lord Jesus said"The word which i have spoken to you are spirit"
Jhn4:24"God is Spirit,and those who worship Him must worship in spirit"
The very nature of the Bible is spirit,and we must approach it with our spirit,inorder to study the Bible,one must have a regenerated spirit,in the same way we can only worship Him with our spirit.
Broda study your Bible with your spirit.please.

Galatns3:1-4;says"You Foolish Galatians!who has bewitched you?before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as Crucified.i would like to learn just one thing from you;did you recieve the Spirit by observing the Law(works),or by believing what you heard(Faith)?Are you so Foolish?after begining with the Spirit,are you now trying to attain your goal by Human Effort(works)?Have you Suffered so much for Nothing-if it really was for Nothing?Does God give you His Spirit and work miracles among you because you observe the Law(works),or because you believe what you heard(Faith).
Who soever says that Salvation is Faith with works is deemed Foolish and Bewitched according  to Apostle Paul.

@coolviv
after Mary gave birth to Jesus she flee with Him to Egypt,He was not caught up in unto God in Heaven.no such thing happen when Christ ascended to Heaven,because Ephns6 tells us that Satan have not been cast out from the Heavenlies.
Ephns5:25,indicates that the Church is the bride of Christ.
Just as God chose the tribe of levi to be His priests since the whole nation He called to be a Kingdom of priest(Exd4:22) failed Him by worshipping idols(Exd32:26-28).
Likewise He is calling forth the Man-Child(the overcomers)to fullfill His divine purpose,
as the service of the levites was counted as the service of the whole nation of Israel,same manner,the work of the Man-Child is for the whole body of Christ.
Only the children of levi are priest,but the whole nation benefited from their priesthood,same manner the Man-Child(overcomers)the work are theirs,but their accomplishments brings Glory to the whole Church.
The only reason for there coming forth,is to fullfill God's divine purpose,the Church as a whole have failed,so God is calling forth the Man-Child.
For they(Man-Child) to overcome him(Satan)by the Blood of the Lamb,and the word of their testimony;for they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death(Rev12:11).

@coolviv
Broda,there is no Queen in the Heavens of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Any honour,prayer,praise and worship offered to a  Queen  purportedly been in Heaven is not of God,
the verse you quoted in Rev12 have nothing to do with a so called Queen,but is in relation to the Church.please lets go back to Genesis.
Gen3:16;to the woman He said"i will greatly increase your pains in childbearing;with pain you will give birth to children."
Rev12:1-2;A great and wondrous sign appeared in Heaven:a woman clothed with the sun,wither moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.she was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth.
The woman mentioned in Gen3(Eve) is the same woman in Rev12 which typifies the "Church".
In 1Cor15:45-49 says that  Adam was a type of our Lord Jesus Christ,while Rom5:14 indicated that he(Adam)was a figure of whom is to come which is Christ Jesus.
Eve was taken out of Adam,therefore she is the Constitute of Adam,the Church also came out of Christ.
The OT shows that only one woman encounter the Serpent-Eve in Gen3.in the NT only one woman encounter the Serpent(The old Serpent)it have transformed into a dragon.(Rev12:9).
The woman in Gen. pass through pains in child bearing,also the woman in Rev12 was in pains,the sun,moon,and stars in Gen.were also in Rev12.the woman in Rev12 was clothed with the sun that is the brightest of the sun is upon her(the Church) Christ is revealing Himself through us the Church,she had the moon underneath her feet,the light of the moon is a reflective light,meaning all the things in the age of the Law merely reflect things in the age of Grace,that is the Law,the temple,the ark,the incense,the showered and all the sacrifices offered by Priest were all types.
The twelve stars upon her head speaks of her relationship to the age of the patriarchs.the woman includes all the saints in the age of the Law,Grace and the patriarch.
Broda,the woman in Rev12 is the Church and not any Queen of Heaven.
HE WHO HAS AN EAR,LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE WORD OF GOD SAYS TO THE CHURCHES(Rev3:6)

Any man/woman born of natural descent,and of human decision,and of the will of a man is a SINNER.(JHN1:13).
Be you a pastor,a bishop,arc-bishop,or a prophet.we are all Sinners,we inherited the adamic nature.with the
Exception of,our Lord Jesus Christ,
Jhn1:14,said"The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us"the Word which is Spirit,and also God became flesh in Mary's womb,the Word didn't mix with the Adamic nature Mary inherited from her parents,the Word became flesh in her womb,later made His Dwelling among us who are Sinner's.
Jesus always call Mary "Woman" and not mother,because God does not have a mother.
Even most medical doctors will confirm that the Blood a mother dont mix with that of her Child,the whole constitute of a child is from the father and not the mother,
if her(Mary's)blood did mix with that of our Lord Jesus Christ,His Blood wouldn't have had the power to Redeem us.
people should start reading there Bible ooo!
HE WHO HAS AN EAR LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE WORD OF GOD SAYS TO THE CHURCHES(Rev2:29).

Jeremiah7:18;the children gather wood,and the father kindle the fire,and the women kneading their dough,to make cakes to the Queen of heaven,and to pour our drink offerings unto gods,that they may provoke Me(God)to anger.
Jermh44:17;to burn incense unto the Queen of heaven.
Jermh44:18;but since we left off to burn incense to the Queen of heaven.
Jermh44:25, we will surely perform our vows that we have vowed we have vowed to burn incense to the Queen of heaven,and to pour out drink offerings unto her.
Rev18:2,"Fallen!Fallen is Babylon the Great!She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit,a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird.
Rev18:3;For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries.the kings of the committed adultery with her,and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries,"
Rev18:4"Come out of her My                 People,so that you will not share in her SINs,so that you will notreceive any of her Plagues;
Rev18:5,for her Sins are piled up
          to Heaven.
Rev18:7,in her heart she Boasts,
"i sit as Queen;i am not a widow,and i will never mourn"
The Queen of heaven some people  pray to and worship is a Principality in the heavenly realms talked about byApostle Paul in Ephesians4:12.
Some people need to start studing there Bible.
HE WHO HAS AN EAR,LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE WORD OF GOD SAYS TO THE CHURCHES(Rev2:11)

@op
Very good point,for He says;"Blessed are those who have not SEEN and yet have believed"Jhn20:29b.

@image123,Judek2,and Eben 2,lets pray and ask God 4mercy to open the eyes of the heart of the op,for him to see the richness in Christ Jesus.

@op
its easier and possible for one to pass through the eye of a niddle than 4him to enter Heaven without Jesus Christ(Matt19:24)

@Obalende.
I deal with classic's,most recent Christain books are completely waste of time.

@Jayriginal.
Brilliant work!!just wondering though,were you actually stand.?

@eben 2
Amen!!!Beautiful post!

@jesoul
Now Faith is the subtance of things Hoped for,the Evidence of things not Seen,(Hebrws11:1).
By Faith(and not primarily with Reason) we(Christains) understand that the universe was formed at God's command,so that what is seen was not made out of what is visible(Hebrws11:3).
By Faith Abraham,when called to go a place he would later recieve as an inheritance,obeyed and went,EVEN THOUGH HE DID NOT KNOW WERE HE WAS GOING.(Hebrws11:sister;there's no room for reasoning here,initially.
The basis an unbeliever needs inorder to be regenerated is Faith not mixed Reason.
I reaffirm,"Christainity is a Revelation or it is Nothing"otherwise our Faith will be resting upon a foundation which will not stand in the days of ordeal.God never in the first instance explains Himself to man's  Reason,and man cant know Him by Reason primarily.
Cheers!

@op
Even if someone rises from the dead you will not be convinced.(Luke16:31).you need Faith.
Cheers!

Nice article.

@op
Even the disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ doubted His Lordship.
They were with Him 3 and half years,saw all the miracles He performed,when He Resurrected they still did not believe untill they saw Him with there own eyes.
Christ said to everyone of them through Thomas"Because you have seen Me,you have believed;BLESSED are those who have not seen and yet have believed,(Jhn20:29).
Question is,why would they not believe after been with Him for 3 and half years?;they were all born of the blood,of flesh and the will of a man(Jhn1:13).they inherited the Adamic nature.its impossible to believe and understand the the things of the spirit,without a regenerated spirit.within the capacities of this new spirit,there's a faculty of Divine knowledge and understanding.
Apostle Paul intellectul power was not that which gave him his knowledge of Truth;but it(human intellect)was taken up by the spirit for passing that Truth on to others.he recieved his Gospel by Revelation.
Just like the disciples,you cant believe unless there's a quickening within you.

@op
sorry to say this;Christainity is not a Religion,but,Christ Himself.
@jesoul
Reasoning primary had no place in the things of God.
The Apostle Paul makes it very clear that the secret of everything in his life and service was the fact that he recieved his Gospel"by Revelation".we may even know the Bible most perfectly as a book,and yet be spiritually dead and ineffective.when the Scriptures say so much about the knowledge of God and of the truth as the basis of Eternal Life,resulting in being set free,doing exploits,etc.it also affirm that man cannot by searching find out God(Job11:7).
A rich knowledge of the Scriptures,an accurate technical grasp of Christain doctrine,the,doing of Christain work by all the resources of men's  natural wisdom or ability,a clever manipulation and interesting presentation of the Bible content and themes,won't get one WHIT beyond the natural life of men,and still remain within the realm of spiritual death.we cant be argued,REASONED,fascinated,willed,entrused,impassioned,into the Kingdom of Heavens,we can only be born,and thats by spiritual quickening.(Jhn3:3,5).this new birth brings with it new Capacities of every kind,the most vital is a new and different faculty of Divine Knowledge,understanding and apprehension,though our brain is not ruled out,but its secondary,not primary.the function of our natural intellect is to give spiritual things intelligent form for ourselves and for others.
God says,"For My thoughts are not your thoughts,neither are your ways My ways"(Ish55:.the measure of the difference is as the height of the Heavens from the Earth,of the Heavenly from the Earthly.
One of the chief lessons that we have to learn,is that spiritual ends demands spiritual means.
Cheers!

@op
am not a preacher in any Church,am just a Christain that reads and study my Bible.
@Judek2
your post is good,but some impressions have to be straighten out.
There's a big difference between Sin and sins,like  i said earlier in my first post,Sin is the force within that propels us to commit sinful act,while sins is the sinful act we commit outwardly.
Sin is a principle in us;its a principle of life we have,sins are acts committed by us;acts in our living.Sin is related to our being;sins are transgressions that we commit,they are activities and real acts.
The Bible shows us that for our sins we need forgiveness(Matt26:28;acts2:38,10:43).but we need to be free from Sin.(Roms6:18,22).the Bible never said "forgiveness of  Sin"but "forgiveness of sins"neither does the Bible speak about being "free from sins"instead we are"free from Sin".the Blood of Jesus deals with our sins(brought about forgiveness) and His Cross free us from Sin(deliverance).

@op
am sorry,but all the answers you will ever need about the Christain faith are embedded in the word of God(in the Bible).
Since His Word is Spirit,(Jhn6:63).one have to be a regenerated person"regenerated spirit"to read and understand the word in the Bible.this spirit is needed to read and understand the Bible.without this spirit,a man cannot know God,either can he understand the word of God in the Bible.
No matter how clever and well educated a man is,as long as he's not Regenerated,the Bible will be a mystery to him.
The very root and nature of the Bible is spiritual.
For instance,our Lord Jesus said in John6:55,"my flesh is true food,and my blood is true drink"an unregenerated person will be shocked at such a word.while every true Christains knows that this refers to the Son of God,and they derive there lifes from His flesh and blood.
Also in John11:25,our Lord said,"I am the Resurrection and the life" He didn't say I have the power to Resurrect Lazarus,rather,He is the Resurrection and life.an unregenerated person cant discern what He meant,
Job said,"can you find out the depths of God?"(Job11:7).He(God) cant be found by research.

@jenwitemi
Jesus said;"The word which i have spoken to you are spirit"(Jhn6:63).the words of the Bible are not only letters but spirit.
Jhn4:24,says "God is Spirit,and those who worship Him must worship in spirit.we can only worship or discern His Purpose and Will with our spirit.we cant know His Will and Purpose with our mind,emotion,or will.we can only touch spiritual things with the spirit.the very nature of the bible is spirit.for this reason,everyone who reads this book must approach it with his spirit.it MUST be read with the spirit.
The spirit is the organ of spiritual knowledge,how does God know things,and by what means does God come to His conclusion,or decision?His knowledge and conclusion are intuitive.Intuition is the faculty of spiritual intelligence by which all spiritual beings works.Angels serve the Will of God  by intuitive discernment of that Will.not by argued and reasoned conviction.
Reasoning inductively,deductively,philosophically,logically and comparatively of the things of God with the mind of the flesh will only bring forth death.
The only knowledge of God through the Bible which is of spiritual value is that which we have by Revelation of the Holy Spirit within our spirits.
God had never explain Himself to man's reason,and we cant know Him by reason.Christainity is a Revelation or its Nothing,
please try and study the Bible with your spirit,its the only way you can discern the purpose of God.not by reason or arguments.

@op
For one to answer your questions truthfully,the full Gospel of God had to be preached.lets go back to Roms5:19;which says"For just as through the DISOBEDIENCE of the one man(Adam) many were made Sinners,so also the OBEDIENCE of one man(Christ) many will be made Righteous.so the origin of the problem is Disobedience.which brought in sin and death.
Before the Creation God already knew that the Created beings(Angels/Man)will DisObey His Authority.according to His foreknowledge(Ish46:10).In the GodHead there's only Authority,And Authority can not be established in the universe out Obedience.because it can't exist alone.He(God) must therefore find Obedience in the universe.by His Grace i believe thats the reason for the distinctive operations of the name God the Father and God the Son within the GodHead.that is Authority  by the Father will be answered by Obedience in the Son,its said that "if we want something done perfectly well we have to do it ourselves"God never knew how to Obey,He actually "learned Obedience through what He suffered"(Hebrew5:.He never brought Obedience to Earth He learnt it through suffering.
Philippns2:5-7 and :8-11;says our Lord Jesus Christ humbled Himself twice:He first emptied Himself in His Divinity,and then humbled Himself in His humanity.as the Son He willingly submits to the Father's Authority and declares that"the Father is greater than I"(Jhn14:28).the Father became the emblem of Authority,while Christ assumes the symbol of Obedience.when He shouted "it is finished"on the Cross(Jhn19:30).it proclaimed not only the accomplishment of Salvation but also the fulfillment of all that His name(the Son) signifies.the Creation He began in the begining was actually completed on the Cross of Calvary.

@op
To answer your questions one has to lay down some basic facts.
1a;Through the disobedience of one man(Adam)we were all made constituted sinners.by him sin entered and death through sin,and throughout the race sin has reigned unto death from that the day on.you cant say "i have not been in Eden"for potentially we all were there.
When Adam sinned we all sinned in him.
1b;"Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin.Roms6:11.by excising our faith in His finish work in our lifes,giving the Holy Spirit excess in every area of our lives.For He is the law of Spirit in our lives sets us free from the law of sin and death(Roms8:2)
2a;we are not fully adopted as sons and our bodies fully redeemed in His second coming(Roms8:23)
2b;For God to save us,it must be done in a condition that matches,or measures up to Himself.
God is a Righteous God,His Righteousness is His way of doing things,its true that God saves man because He loves man,but He must do so in a way thats in agreement with His Righteousness.if God forgives carelessly without judging our sin according to the law,where is His Righteousness?if He doesn't save us legally,He cant save us at all.He is not willing to give up His Righteousness,in order to save us in a Righteous way because of His Love for us we sinners and our sins were judged in His Son on the Cross.the Cross meets the requirements of Righteousness and Love(John3:16)

"so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous"Roms5:19b,
Our despair is in Adam,our hope is in Christ.
Roms6:3-5;says"Or are you ignorant that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death?we have been buried therefore with Him through baptism into His death,in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the father,so also we might walk in newness of life.for if we have grown together with Him in the likeness of His death,indeed we will also be in likeness of His resurrection"
As we believe and accept  Jesus Christ as our Lord and saviour,automatically all He accomplished 2000yrs  ago becomes ours,.
When He died on the Cross we died in Him,when He Resurrected 3days later we Resurrected in him.
Question is how is that possible?
1Cor1:30;says"its because of Him(God)that we are in Christ Jesus,who has become for us wisdom from God,that is our Righteousness,Holiness and Redemption.God has put us in Christ.
The only way to get out of Adam is by death since we came in by birth,
i have to die a Chuka to be free from been a Chuka since i was born a Chuka,
Praise God!i am in Christ Jesus,because of Him(God).
When He died on the Cross i died a Chuka in Him when He Resurrected i Resurrect in Him.and by His Grace as i continue to grow with Him in the likeness of His death,i will also be in the likeness of His Resurrection here on earth

@op
in the Bible there's a difference between Sin and sins.the first eight chapters of the book of Romans deals with the subject in veiw.from chapter one through 5:11,only the word sins is mentioned,bout from 5:12 until the end of chapter eight deals with Sin and not sins.
Sin is that power within us that propels us to commit sinful act,while sins is the sinful act committed outwardly by us.
The source of the problem is in our heredity,not in our behaviour.Roms5:19a says that everyone born in Adam is a sinner.we have been constituted sinners"by the disobedience of one(Roms5:19a).
Let me illustrate by a simple analogy.
My name is Chuka,i did not choose it,i am Chuka,because my father was a Chuka,and my father was a Chuka because my grandfather was a Chuka,if i become a Governor,a Pastor or Begger today am still a Chuka,nothing i do,or refrain from doing will make me other than a Chuka.why is that?its because i was born a Chuka.we are sinners,not because of ourselves but because of Adam.we  were in Adam when he sinned.by birth we are part of him.
If our greatgrand father had died at the age of three,we would have died in him.
We are all there when Adam yielded to the Serpent's words.we are involved in Adam's sin.by being born "in him"we recieve from him all that he became as a result of sin.we derive our existence from him,and because his life became a sinful life,a sinful nature,the very nature we derive from him is also sinful.
We dont become sinners by commiting sins,rather,we sin because we are sinners,
the source of the problem is from our orgin.
Will deal with the solution later and by His Grace your questions will be answered,

Paul wrote to the saints in Rome,"Or are you ignorant that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death?we have been buried therefore with Him through baptism into His death,in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father,so also we might walk in newness of His Resurrection"(Rom.6:3-5).he was telling them,to be aware of who they are,and what they have recieved in Christ Jesus.that when Christ died on the Cross they(the saints)died in Him,when He Resurrected 3days later they Resurrected in Him,that the reality of baptism have already taken place in them.
Our physical respons by been baptized is merely an acceptance of His finish work in our lives.
Methods and protocols are irrelevant.

Rev21:18b;"And the City was Pure Gold,like clear glass"
The City is the New Jerusalem,Gold signifies that which is of God.
Peter said we are partakers of His Divine Nature(2Ptr1:4).within every born again Christain there is a portion which is of God.before we are saved,everything in us was of the Flesh,nothing of His Divinity is in us.but,when we recieved  Him as our Lord and saviour,He imparted His Life(or Nature) to us,which is the Gold in us.
Although we have Gold as Gold in us,its still mix with many other things in our body.for this reason majority of God's work in  our life is that of reduction and not addition.from the day we are saved God have been doing the work of reduction in our life and the instrument of this work of subtraction is the Cross.the work of the Cross is to cancel out all thats not of God in our life by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Paul said,"our old man(nature)has been Crucified with Him(Rom6:6).And we should reckon ourselves dead to sin,so that the remnant will be Christ our Lord.(Rom6:11).There are many things not of God in us which won't bring Glory to Him.what He deposited in us is Pure Gold,but because of the dross in us,we have become alloy.
The outstanding feature of the New Jerusalem is Pure Gold.there is no mixture everything is entirely of God.all that comes from  us is dross,apart from the Gold in us everything else is refuse.
When added to Gold our Goodness and zeal becomes dross.
Every thing from us is just  dross.but in the New Jerusalem all is of Pure Gold without any dross.
May His Spirit perfect His works in us through the principle of subtraction by the Cross inorder that the remnant will be Christ Jesus the only true Pure Gold in our life Jesus name Amen.

@op
John3:3,In reply Jesus declared,"i tell you the truth,no one can SEE the Kingdom of God unless he is born again".
The Kingdom of God mentioned by our Lord Jesus to Nicodemus is a Spiritual realm.and the Spiritual realm Governs the physical.
Whatsoever you see happening physically have already be concluded Spiritually long ago.
You dont need a seer to see!he/she is not better than you.all you need to SEE Spiritually is believe and accept our Lord Jesus as your Lord and Saviour.you can do that anywhere even on your bed.take care.

Rev17:1"And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials,and talked with me,saying unto me,come hither,i will shew unto thee the judgment of the great LovePeddler that siteth upon many waters.
Rev18:2;"And he cried mightily with a strong voice,saying,Babylon the great is fallen,is fallen,and is become the habitation of devils and the home of every foul spirit and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
The great LovePeddler spoken of in Revelation chapter 17 and 18 is Babylon.whose deeds are extremely displeasing to God.
The name Babylon originated from "Babel".Genesis chapter 11 talks about the tower of Babethe principle of the tower of Babel involves the attempt to build up something from Earth to reach Heaven.when men built this tower they use Bricks not Stones.and the basic difference between Brick  and Stone is that Stones are made by God while Bricks is the product of man.
The meaning of Babylon relates to man's own efforts to build a tower to reach unto Heaven.
Babylon represent man's ability,a false Christainity,were the Authority of the Holy Spirit is absent.a Christain that work according to this principle is ignorant of his limitation.
A Christain may have some talent and thinks he can preach after acquiring some theological knowledge,what is this?Bricks!
Another Christain might be very clever after receiving some help and posses some knowledge,he then become a Christain worker.Again,what is this?Bricks!
A Christain thats Capable of doing things(maybe he's a manager in a company)might be ask to manage the affairs of a Church,they are all Bricks!
Any endeavours to build something from Earth to Heaven by human abilities are Bricks.
The principle is seen in the of Achan,he said"when i saw among the spoils a goodily Babylon garment,, then i coveted them,and took them"(Josh7:21).a goodily garment is worn for the seek of appearance,it adorns,improve and add luster to our appearance.
Whenever we put on a garment that doesn't match our actual condition,we are in the principle of Babylon.
Ananias and Sapphra lied against the Holy Spirit,because there love for God was outwardly and superficial,they were pretenders.
Hypocrisy is the major principle of Babylon,pretending to be spiritual.
If we set our sight upon man's glory and man's position in the Church,we are participating in the sin of the Babylonian garment.
"For i sit a queen and i am not a widow"(Rev18:17);she sits as a queen,she has lost all of her character of being a widow,she has no feeling about our Lord Jesus Christ been killed and Crucified.she has lost her faithfulness and purpose.
When we mix the things of man with the things of God,things of the Flesh with the things of the Spirit,pretending that things of man is of God,receiving man's glory to satisfy our lust.
This is the principle of Babylon,corrupt Christainity.
Rev18:4,says"And i heard another voice out of Heaven,saying,come out of her,My People,that you do not participate in her sins and that you do not receive her plagues"
2Cor6:17,also says"wherefore come out from among them and be ye separate says the Lord,and touch not the unclean thing and I will receive you.
May God have Mercy on us.
May we come out of every situation that mixes man's power with God's power,man's ability with God's work,man's opinion with God's word.
May His spirit empower us inwardly and completely separate us from every principle of Babylon in Jesus name Amen

@may Kelly
Do not think that i have come to abolish the Law or the Prophet;I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them(Matt5:17).
Therefore,there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,because through Christ Jesus the Law oF Spirit set me free from the Law of sin and death.
The more we(Christains) draw close to Him the more He will fullfill Gods requirements needed to enter His Kingdom,
For He is the Law of Spirit in our Spirit,
good write up.

@ may Kelly
thanks to you too,we(Christains) have to learn from each other,as we are the body of Christ and every part is important.thanks once again.
