Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Make no friendship with a man given to anger, nor go with a wrathful man, lest you learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare. Be not one of those who give pledges, who put up security for debts. If you have nothing with which to pay, why should your bed be taken from under you?

You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.
Proverbs 25:17
Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor’s house, lest he have his fill of you and hate you.

I am seeing this, since he has loved us, so deeply, that even whenever sin, we are forgiven, we remain as forgiven for Son came here to earth to take away sin.
So think, did he do that, as claimed he came here to earth to do, is it done or not?
We see this earth still to this day full of sin, not loving our neighbor as self. Why is that, since in Son it is done for us to get new life to walk new in?
We are to love our neighbor as yourself. I agree, yet if anyone does not love themselves, then how is one going to treat their neighbor?
Then seeing and wanting to know who is our neighbor. Is it those in our vicinity, or everyone as they srte forgiven as well as you are?
I see this, when Christ said to love your neighbor as he has loved you, how much has he loved us?
Is it all, or a few?
When he went to his death willingly, was it for everyone or just a few, did God call all or just a few?
I know only few get chosen, why is that? Could it be because of free choice we all have, even though all are forgiven from Father by Son that is done once for all, what is left?
We are first born as unbelievers, are we not, after the similitude of Adam and Eve?
So what is it we need, is it to be forgiven over and over again as society preaches on to us all, if you sin better repent again and again to get more forgiveness.
How can that be true, when Son has only went to the cross once shed his blood once for everyone to be as forgiven, even before anyone after wards was ever born it is either done or not done?
Then religion has interfered again in saying yes we are forgiven, then throws in a But,
So that takes away once forgiven always forgiven. When truth is we all today are forgiven by Son’s one time done work for everyone. Col. 1:22 states this as done, Jesus stated it also in John 19:30, it is finished.
What is finished? The Law, No, the misunderstanding of the Law is though. For he does not nor did not take away the Law of Moses, he be the one and only one that fulfilled the Law of Moses and all the Prophets.
It is finished, the misunderstanding of the Law, that has been taken literally to our demise. And sin by this continues on in our bodies, that Satan took control over when he got Adam to eat in unbelief that death would be.
So what is the Law?\\
Luke 10:26-28 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? 27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. 28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
Now when Christ finished his work here on earth, he then stated for us to love as he has loved us first.
1 John testifies to this truth in 1 John 4:19, one can not love as in 1 Cor. 13:4-7, without seeing this love given us by Son first, approved by Father in raising Son up, back to life to live forever as our high Priest.
We get in belief alone to Father Son is risen for us to be new in. As told in Romans 43:17-25
This is so incredibly amazing to see and be.
Then we got religion that states, those of us that are not under Law, take it for granted and if do not ask for more forgiveness do not know truth. Are incorrect in the understanding of freedom given us.
We can do whatever we want, we can sin and remain forgiven, but in light of this truth, who wants to continue in sin? We are warned of not receiving truth.
Truth we are all reconciled by Son for us to be new in Father by belief to Son is risen and all sin is taken away.
Life is not in the dead Christ, the one that died for all the sin of this world into Father for pure unadulterated satisfaction, otherwise Father would not have ever approved and raised Son from the dead for us to get new life in belief to this from Father only is this given.
Anyway, I just said a mouthful, that you, Brother and many others already know this too. I just got reminded deeper in hearing and writing as I thank you for hearing, letting me vent what I hear
Thank you

But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone?

” A Real Friend is not only a Gift from God, but a Vessel from God.” Amen!! Amen!! \0/\0/ ((Hugs))
Amen!
Whew, seeing Proverbs 17:17, a friend loves at all times, (that has to be our Lord unto his Lord) that is our Father now too, through Son.
And then it says a Brother is born for adversity. Me trying to see what this means, I hear we all will have adversities, and not to fear over that, because our Lord, The Christ has overcome this world. So do I, we and all in him just accept any and all adversities we get in, whether we caused them or not?
I see to do that, yet in my first born self, I see I can’t, and need his love and mercy to take me over and lead, to be able to do that.
For I see we all are loved first, from God, Father and Son, that is proven in his being risen back from the grave on the third day. I believe to see, I see because I will not give up belief in this fact Christ is risen as reported to me from each disciple in belief has written down.
I see doubting Thomas, who had to physically see the risen Christ, even touch him. to stand in belief, and then Christ told him this, you believe, because you see, me risen Physically.
Yet those that believe without physically seeing are saved, not having to have the proof you required.
John 20:29
Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
Proof has been given and the disciples tell us in
2 Corinthians 5:16-20 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. 17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.
Note: we do not know anyone or anything today after any flesh, this includes themselves, see once we knew Christ of the flesh, today no more. Now of Spirit and Truth alone one with Father the two are Won (One) for us to be won with them as Won (One)
I so many times think of me as knowing, and powerful, and somebody. Whenever I am that way, I see I need to be buffeted, and when am I do not like it, even though to be is for my own good, from Father for me to see humility
that be 2 Cor 12:7-10 about being buffeted, to know, yet not know, to see but not to see. For pride gets in the way of anyone that makes themselves somebody to hear, listen to and obey there view, even using truth.
For there is Faith in us all. Yet faith has to have an object, does it not?
So if I have faith, then what is my object of that faith? Is it in myself, I can do it, flesh and blood attitude?
Is it in the dead Christ, I am forgiven or I need more forgiveness?
Or is it in the risen Christ?
Where new life is at from Father to us all that turn to him in belief Son is risen as High Priest to lead us in unto Father’ spirit and truth leading and teaching us truth over error of this world we are in and not a part of any longer ever since first day anyone turned to Father in belief of Son ridden for them
Romans 5:10
