Washing one’s robes…

It came to pass that some Christian brothers and sisters want to live together for safety, around a person with no telepathic crimes and who is ‘clean’. The reason being they are being witchy-accused of speaking falsely, upsetting others and the animosity spilled over into mindspace.

So came the question, shall we not wash our robes and be white as snow, all together? The reason being that each one of us differs in moral values. For example, I am loving but coarse mannered, highly lenient but passionate about rudiments of faith, men must not believe in lies and perpetuate lies. I am long-suffering and staunch, but I don’t expect it from others even until they witness a miracle themselves.

And I say, do unto others, make your bed and lie in it, we are joint lords of the Sabbath, we are internally purified with love unconditional.

And they say, we should aim to be perfect. I can make people perfect but how long shall they remain so in this body of sins and weaknesses?

And so we discourse on washing those robes. Guard your garment, said the Lord. Present yourself clothed in it, at the wedding feast. This is of course referring not to one’s holiness, but to one’s beliefs and faith being intact.

Eph 4:24  And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Eph 4:31  Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

Eph 4:32  And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Thus we see Paul teaching the Ephesians above about putting on new man, or putting on washed robes. It is the same. In context, Paul was urging the church to forsake their old ways -they were very sinful under Rome at the time.

So we see that Paul focuses on our inside, our base nature. How is that washable that the light might shine even outwardly? Paul believed in the following: 

Eph 4:21  If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus…

The truth in Jesus was not purification per se, but in the gospels, it was the truth of the coming Kingdom. And the reason we sin not is for the promise of Eternal Life in Kingdom, with God. I am not learned, but what a person can ‘put on’ is a disposition / temperement / inclination, having proven his place in Kingdom.

And so each one of us becomes Kingdom-centric, thus a ‘new person’, or a ‘Christ image’. It is not a roundabout labor of mystery.

The transformative power of the Lord is not in a miracle of faith, but in simple beliefs. What are beliefs? The Lord had practically this much to say: ‘prepare ye for the Kingdom come’. What shall we believe? Simply the Kingdom is coming and we must prepare. All else is up to you, having now Spirit, choose your way your unique self. Lead others if you are able. Believe in salvation into the Kingdom and all else flows naturally by the Holy Spirit. I write to you with the same Spirit.
