Liberty, Knowledge, Godhead!

 

Liberty, knowledge, and Godhead are all addressed in the King James Bible. Liberty in the book by James is treated as the law to be as judged by. Knowledge is forbidden! Of course, I mean carnal knowledge in all its acts. There is a list of rules in the Torah of the Old Testament that outlaw acts of knowledge. Then there is Godhead. Some say Jesus has sole Godhead, but the New Testament of the Bible says we have the mind of Christ!

There are both Catholic and Protestant King James Bibles. I am listening to the Catholic version now. Liberty is stated to exist where the Spirit of the Lord is. Liberty is said to be the law you will be judged by. What is perfect liberty? What is the law of liberty? Being harmless sums up the extent of liberty considered innocent. No harm, no foul! Being blameless, as the Apostle Paul adds, keeps one out of trouble by obeying the myriad laws that the states impose. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty, and it is the Spirit that ministers life.

Carnal knowledge is forbidden! A man shall know his wife so they may conceive. Man shall not know woman outside marriage. Man shall not know man or beast. A woman shall not be known as you would know a man. The law says that knowledge is for a man and his wife to make babies, and they shall not know their children. Yet, except for God throwing you into Hell, knowledge is harmless! Knowledge can even be an expression of love and affection. God warned in the book of Jeremiah that he would lay stumbling blocks and snares. Isn't it time to let the Truth set us free?

Some teach that only Jesus has the Godhead. They allude that the Godhead is not shared in the body of Christ, the church. They hint that you and I cannot have the Godhead! Yet the New Testament says we have the mind of Christ! We share the mind of Christ and His great Godhead. We are coheirs with Christ to all the riches of the mind. We can learn, understand, and share knowledge of the divine. We can, with the help of the mind of Christ, find the path through scripture that leads to eternal life. We can, with the mind of Christ, reap the blessings of scripture and avoid the stumbling blocks and snares.
