MARY WAS NOT A PERPETUAL VIRGIN by Tuese Ahkiong

MARY WAS NOT A PERPETUAL VIRGIN 

-This BULL comes out of PAGAN CATHOLICISM

JOSEPH DID NOT KNOW (become sexually intimate with) MARY UNTIL AFTER SHE GAVE BIRTH TO YESHUA.

Or Joseph did not have MARITAL RELATIONSHIPS with Mary until after she gave birth to Christ.

By Tuese Ahkiong

The word, “know” means to have knowledge in an intimate way, i.e., marital relationships, close friends.

Genesis 4:1 Now ADAM KNEW EVE HIS WIFE, AND SHE CONCEIVED AND BORE CAIN, saying, “I have gotten a man with the help of the Lord.”

Genesis 4:25 And ADAM KNEW HIS WIFE AGAIN, AND SHE BORE A SON AND CALLED HIS NAME SETH, for she said, “God has appointed for me another offspring instead of Abel, for Cain killed him.”

***Adam didn’t know Eve just intellectually, or as another human, creature, but intimately and sexually as a husband.

Genesis 4:17  CAIN KNEW HIS WIFE, AND SHE CONCEIVED AND BORE ENOCH. When he built a city, he called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch.

***Cain KNEW his wife intimately as a husband and thus his wife conceived.

Matthew 1:24-25 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife (Mary), but KNEW HER NOT UNTIL SHE HAD GIVEN BIRTH to a son. And he called his name Jesus.

***Joseph did not KNOW Mary intimately/sexually UNTIL after she had given birth to Christ. 

Luke 1:34 ³⁰ Then the angel said to her,“  Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. ³¹ And behold, YOU WILL CONCEIVE IN YOUR WOMB AND BRING FORTH A SON, and shall call His name Jesus. ³² He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. ³³ And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”  Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, SINCE I DO NOT KNOW A MAN?”

***Mary is sharing the fact that she has not known a man intimately in a sexual manner in order to have a baby.

Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. ²²Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? ²³And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

***Jesus is God and knows everything.  He is omniscient.  So, to not know someone does not mean He does not know about them. Knowing is being used in the sense that He does not know them intimately as His bride, sheep, people, chosen, elect….

The Infamous John 3:16 - WHO is the WORLD in John 3:16? By Tuese Ahkiong

The Infamous John 3:16 - WHO is the WORLD in John 3:16?

By Tuese Ahkiong

JOHN 3:1-21

Now there WAS A MAN OF THE PHARISEES NAMED NICODEMUS, A RULER OF THE JEWS. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, FOR NO ONE CAN DO THESE SIGNS THAT YOU DO UNLESS GOD IS WITH HIM.” 3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, UNLESS ONE IS BORN AGAIN HE CANNOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD.” 4 Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, UNLESS ONE IS BORN OF WATER AND THE SPIRIT, HE CANNOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN.’ 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is BORN OF THE SPIRIT.”

9 Nicodemus said to him, “How can these things be?” 10 Jesus answered him, “ARE YOU THE TEACHER OF ISRAEL AND YET YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THESE THINGS? 11 Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen, but you do not receive our testimony. 12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. 14 AND AS MOSES LIFTED UP THE SERPENT IN THE WILDERNESS, SO MUST THE SON OF MAN BE LIFTED UP, 15 THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM MAY HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.

16 “FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY SON, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. 17 For God did not send his Son INTO THE WORLD to CONDEMN THE WORLD, but in order that THE WORLD MIGHT BE SAVED THROUGH HIM. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. 19 And this is the judgment: THE LIGHT HAS COME INTO THE WORLD, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. 21 BUT WHOEVER DOES WHAT IS TRUE COMES TO THE LIGHT, SO THAT IT MAY BE CLEARLY SEEN THAT HIS WORKS HAVE BEEN CARRIED OUT IN GOD.”

The context has a JEWISH RULER/TEACHER, Nicodemus meeting with Christ.  
Why would someone need to be born again? Are they dead? Who in Scripture was ever alive or given birth or brought to life or created in the covenant sense by YHWH?

Moses lifted up the serpent for THE COVENANT people that were bitten and whosoever looked upon it lived.

Who was Christ lifted up for, THE COVENANT people or those not in the immediate context?

Does this passage not parallel the people of YHWH from the Moses passage?

How is WORLD DEFINED in the CONTEXT of John 3:16

***Who is "The World" in John 3:16?Is it every single individual without exception?
If so, does God love those who are in HELL (GEHENNA) who are supposedly separated from Him for all eternity being tormented?
If so, doesn't that conflict with Romans 8:35 "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ...?
If one is in GEHENNA are they not separated from Christ's love?
Didn't Christ promise GEHENNA to some of the Jewish leaders in Matt 23?? Yes.
So, who is the world in Johh 3:16???
Do people's traditions and biases interpret who the world is? Yes, all the time.
Look at vs 17-18 and this will give you insight into who the world is.

17FOR GOD DID NOT SEND HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO CONDEMN THE WORLD
[What world is not condemned? The Christian world, right? Is not the non-Christian world condemned? So, does world in this passage refer to every single individual without exception or does it refer to the Christian world?],

BUT IN ORDER THAT THE WORLD MIGHT BE SAVED THROUGH HIM
[What world is saved through Jesus? The Christian world, right? Those who believe, right? Just like vs.16 says, right? Is the non-Christian world saved? No.]

18WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM IS NOT CONDEMNED,
[Who believes in Jesus? Christians, right? Are Christians condemned? No. Are those who reject Jesus condemned? Yes.]

BUT WHOEVER DOES NOT BELIEVE IS CONDEMNED ALREADY, BECAUSE HE HAS NOT BELIEVED IN THE NAME OF THE ONLY SON OF GOD.
[Who doesn’t believe in Jesus? Non-Christians, right? Who is condemned? Non-Christians, right? So, can the world in John 3:16-18 be referring to every single individual without exception? No.

BORN AGAIN for WHO?

1 Peter 1:1-5 (ESV)

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,

TO THOSE WHO ARE ELECT EXILES OF THE DISPERSION IN PONTUS, GALATIA, CAPPADOCIA, ASIA, AND BITHYNIA, ² according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood:

May grace and peace be multiplied to you.

³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, HE HAS CAUSED US TO BE BORN AGAIN to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, ⁴ to AN INHERITANCE that is IMPERISHABLE, UNDEFILED, AND UNFADING, KEPT IN HEAVEN FOR YOU, ⁵ who by God's power are being guarded through faith for A SALVATION READY TO BE REVEALED IN THE LAST TIME.

V1 *The Elect were the remnant of Israel chosen by YHWH and dispersed or scattered by Him. They were brought back into fellowship with YHWH through the Gospel which was ONLY for them. Notice that the elect were dispersed among the pagan GENTILE NATIONS.

V3 Peter includes himself in with the elect exiles of the dispersion who were CAUSED TO TO BE BORN AGAIN.

V4 The elect were awaiting an inheritance.

V5  The elect were living in “The Last Time” or “Last Days” of Old Covenant Israel in the first century which came to end at the return of Yeshua and destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD.

1 Peter 1:22-25  (ESV)

²² Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart, ²³ since YOU HAVE BEEN BORN AGAIN, not of perishable seed but ofIMPERISHABLE, through the living and abiding word of God; ²⁴ for

“All flesh is like grass    and all its glory like the flower of grass.
The grass withers,    and the flower falls,²⁵ but the word of the Lord remains forever.”

AND THIS WORD IS THE GOOD NEWS THAT WAS PREACHED TO YOU.

V23  The Elect are those from verse 1 who are the “you” in this context.  They are the ones who HAVE BEEN BORN AGAIN.

V25  The Good News was preached TO The Elect ("you" from v1).

So, who was the world because they were all rescued by THE GOSPEL by 70AD?????

POLITICAL DEFINITIONS Compiled by Tuese Ahkiong

ANARCHISM- is NO GOVERNMENT, a political philosophy of non-aggression, that rejects politics as a morally consistent means by which individuals organize themselves.

CAPITALISM-  is the economic and social system (and also the mode of production) in which the means of production are predominantly privately owned and operated for profit, and distribution and exchange is in a mainly market economy. It is usually considered to involve the right of individuals and corporations to trade (using money) in goods, services, labor and land.

COMMUNISM-  ABOLITION OF PRIVATE PROPERTY

It is a socio-economic structure that promotes the establishment of a classless, stateless society based on common ownership of the means of production. It encourages the formation of a proletarian state in order to overcome the class structures and alienation of labor that characterize capitalistic societies, and their legacy of imperialism and nationalism. Communism holds that the only way to solve these problems is for the working class (or proletariat) to replace the wealthy ruling class (or bourgeoisie), through revolutionary action, in order to establish a peaceful, free society, without classes or government.

A political theory derived from Karl Marx, advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs.

synonyms:

collectivism, state ownership, socialism, radical socialism;  Sovietism, Bolshevism, Marxism, neo-Marxism, Leninism, Marxism–Leninism, Trotskyism, Maoism "the social and economic principles of communism"

CONSERVATISM- (or conservativism) is any political philosophy that favors tradition (in the sense of various religious, cultural, or nationally-defined beliefs and customs) in the face of external forces for change, and is critical of proposals for radical social change. Some Conservatives seek to preserve the status quo or to reform society slowly, while others seek to return to the values of an earlier time.

CRITICAL RACE THEORY CRT 

examines racism within culture and society and seeks to explain how it relates to law, opportunity, power, housing, employment, education, status, etc. Proponents of CRT often say a socially constructed system of oppression instituted by white people is designed to suppress people of color.  

DEMOCRACY: government by the people., especially  : rule of the majority aka MOB RULE.

b: a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections.

LEFTISM, LEFT WING 

In politics, the portion of the political spectrum associated in general with egalitarianism and popular or state control of the major institutions of political and economic life. The term dates from the 1790s, when in the French revolutionary parliament the socialist representatives sat to the presiding officer’s left. Leftists tend to be hostile to the interests of traditional elites, including the wealthy and members of the aristocracy, and to favour the interests of the working class (see proletariat). They tend to regard social welfare as the most important goal of government. Socialism is the standard leftist ideology in most countries of the world; communism is a more radical leftist ideology.

LIBERALISM- includes a broad spectrum of political philosophies that consider individual liberty to be the most important political goal, and emphasize individual rights and equality of opportunity. Although most Liberals would claim that a government is necessary to protect rights, different forms of Liberalism may propose very different policies (see the section on Types of Liberalism below). They are, however, generally united by their support for a number of principles, including extensive freedom of thought and freedom of speech, limitations on the power of governments, the application of the rule of law, a market economy (or a mixed economy with both private-owned and state-owned enterprises) and a transparentand democratic system of government.

The system of economic and political thought developed by Karl Marx, along with Friedrich Engels, especially the doctrine that the state throughout history has been a device for the exploitation of the masses by a dominant class, that class struggle has been the main agency of historical change, and that the capitalist system, containing from the first the seeds of its own decay, will inevitably, after the period of the dictatorship of the proletariat, be superseded by a socialist order and a classless society.

The leaders of BLM are trained Marxist. 

NATIONALISM- is the doctrine that one's national culture and interests are superiorto any other, and that nations should act independently (rather than collectively) to attain their goals. It holds that a nation, usually defined in terms of language, ethnicity or culture, has the right to constitute an independent or autonomous political community based on a shared history and common destiny.

Thus, under Socialism, the means of production are owned by the state, community or the workers (as opposed to privately owned as under Capitalism).

a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.

In general, Totalitarianism involves a single mass party, typically led by a dictator; an attempt to mobilize the entire population in support of the official state ideology; and an intolerance of activities which are not directed towards the goals of the state, usually entailing repression and state control of business, labor unions, churches and political parties.

a system of government that is centralized and dictatorial and requires complete subservience to the state.

VOLUTARISM-  a political philosophy which holds that all forms of human association should be voluntary. 

WOKE WOKEISM

Woke is now defined in this dictionary as “aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of race, gender, sexuality, pedophilia/ grooming and social justice),” and identified as U.S. slang. It originated in African American English and gained more widespread use beginning in 2014 as part of the Black Lives Matter movement. By the end of that same decade it was also being applied by some as a general pejorative for anyone who is or appears to be politically left-leaning.
