Five Foolish Virgins - Part 5

Post 308e

Mindy McCready, Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, Jessica Simpson, Selena Gomez

“For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth…” Psalm 137:3.
* * *

Finally we have arrived at the last of our five examples,
Selena Gomez:

Gomez was born in Grand Prairie, Texas. She is the daughter of former stage actress Amanda Dawn "Mandy" Teefey (née Cornett) and Ricardo Joel Gomez….Regarding her Hispanic heritage, Gomez has stated, "My family does have Quinceaneras, and we go to the communion church. We do everything that's Catholic, but we don't really have anything traditional except [that we] go to the park and have barbecues on Sundays after church." Her birth parents divorced when she was five years old, and she was raised as an only child by her working mother, who had her when she was 16. This led to the family having financial troubles, with her mother struggling to provide for them. On the situation, Gomez stated "I remember my mom would run out of gas all of the time and we’d sit there and have to go through the car and get quarters and help her get gas because she never liked to ask my grandparents for money. I remember having a lot of macaroni and cheese but my mom never made it seem like it was a big deal. She was really strong around me. Having me at 16 had to have been a big responsibility. My mom gave up everything for me, had three jobs, supported me, sacrificed her life for me." Gomez later elaborated on the topic, stating "I definitely didn't appreciate it when I was little. I was frustrated that my parents weren't together, and never saw the light at the end of the tunnel where my mom was working hard to provide a better life for me. I'm terrified of what I would have become if I'd stayed [in Texas]" - (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selena_Gomez).

Remember this young virgin? We discussed her “Rock God” conflict with her self-declared “LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST” quite a few Posts back (*1). We speculated that the cost of her success in this park would necessarily be in the loss of her faith as an equitable trade. Let’s have a fresh look and see how she is doing at hanging on to her Homing compass while playing with Parrots in their park.

“Selena Gomez in Spring Breakers [movie]: It Was My Mom's Idea, the Former Disney Star Says - By Marc Malkin, Sun., Mar. 17, 2013 10:23 AM PDT
Selena Gomez’s role in Spring Breakers is nothing like anything else she's ever done. She plays a church-going coed who joins three other friends (Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson and Rachel Korine) for a booze-filled and druggie spring break vacation in Florida. And Gomez's mom was all for it…” (*2).

This “just like my real life” pattern of her mom being “all for her Wizard role,” is now a common theme for young stars. The question we need to ask is; Does the pattern steer the life or does the life steer the pattern? If Selena Gomez spent her church-going youth pretending to be a wizard with her Godless friends rather than acting like a child of God, is this illusion the real life that is patterned as a theme in the new movie about a Church-going youth doing questionable things with her wicked friends but all in good innocent pretend fun so it doesn’t matter?

“Selena Gomez’s Mom Pushed Her Into Edgy Spring Breakers Role! Posted 3/18/2013 2:02 PM ET
Selena Gomez puts a LOT of herself on screen in Spring Breakers! Don't believe us? Check out the unrated European trailer!” (*2).

The link is not a risky European trailer as claimed, but an E! Red Carpet interview and article that is “safe” to review and quite informative enough, if you feel the need (*3).

“So what did the former Disney star's mom have to say about the jump to edgy indie? [Selena tells us:]
‘She loves this kind of vibe. She's super into Indie movies and Indie directors… I think it was more of her pushing me and being like ‘you should go for it.’
Wow! We wonder if she had seen writer/director Harmony Korine’s 90s classic Kids before getting enthusiastic! Well, she's been a Hollywood mom long enough to know that it's all fake and totally safe. Well, except for the nudity. Who could body double Selena??" (*4).

Not only are we disappointed in Selena for being the latest in a long line of “Christians” to cave in to Hollywood’s push toward prostituting herself, but that last paragraph of surprise reaction and revelation speaks volumes… especially for a church-going approving mother to hear from a secular Pagan reporter about just what is alarming in an industry that invented alarming. But, as the man said tongue-in-cheek; “she's been a Hollywood mom long enough to know that it's all fake and totally safe…" except it’s not all safe. Just like her daughter’s Christian experience pretending to be wizard.
It isn’t looking like a stellar track-record but let’s give her the benefit of the doubt, maybe the bikini clad bodies we see in the promotionals is all they meant by “a LOT” and “nude.” So let’s check in a safe manner before we go off half-cocked:

“MPAA Rating: Rated R for strong sexual content, language, nudity, drug use and violence throughout” - Amazon.com

No, I’m pretty sure nude means nude, and I don’t need to see the movie.
But who knows if Selena is actually one of the nudes? Not me, I didn’t watch it. But what if it is actually her, in the raw, before every man in the world? It’s Hollywood, why wouldn’t she be? And who should care? I mean except for the secular Pagan interviewer of many such actresses that was surprised her mother would encourage her to do such a thing. Apparently he thinks she should care. Well, it’s a good thing that Pagan is not her father; he might be a bad influence on her good Catholic Christianity!

OK Stop.
This is the intended course that we are supposed to take by the leading of the various movie promotionals, including the interview. I could go on with the discussion in coffeeshops across the country but you get the idea.
It actually took some diligent digging through private reviews of the film, but it turns out once again we see the now expected trend: Selena played her “real life role,” and in her case it was as a good moral Church-going youth edging into where she didn’t belong, but then got uncomfortable and went home early as good girls should. No nude Selena, we can breath easy for her. The entire E!-publicity Red Carpet interview was a crafted scam of illusion to get people to watch the dirty movie.
By dropping her name, Selena implied that even her Mom was in on the gag in the effort to validate the illusion, and Selena played her part in the gag letting us think by her interview that she got all naked and stuff, and Hollywood makes money off her virtuous Christian name and fame in viewer’s hopes of seeing some Christian Selena virgin flesh. The audience may be disappointed but nobody got hurt; it was all a spoof in fun. Well, except for all the money they made by defrauding the lusty public. Get over it; you’ve been ‘Punked’, What’s the harm?

“Punked”: This term has recently become popular by a TV show filming people being elaborately and harshly tricked as entertainment. A short etymology search of this slang reveals that the vile nature of this word remains consistent through its various usages. Only a generation ago this word was slag for young men sodomised in prison, and the root word “Punk” describes rotten wood used for tinder; torchwood. So now, What’s wrong with being Punked? They were just having fun… at your expense.

Here’s the problem. Selena actually damaged her own name and the name of Christianity as if she actually did all those evil things, even if she didn’t actually do any-- or many-- of those evil things. How?
While thinking she was Punking others, the real Punk was on her, (much like the self-defiling freakish appearance and conduct of a Punk-Rocker presenting his humanity to the world). She created a fabricated environment of “hidden” illusion, regarding a work of “expected” illusion about a fabricated adventure on film, which leads people to logically imagine a degree of immoral conduct by the actress to get the picture (i.e. nudity), which she confirmed herself as true, without actually lying. And without watching the filthy film that she was actually in, there is no reason to expect that what she said about herself is not true. Therefore, it simply doesn’t matter to what degree Selena actually participated, the film is branded with hedonism and yet our virtuous Christian sweetheart is in it for everybody who doesn’t watch such trash to be convinced of her involvement which she intentionally confirms as true, as a part of her elaborate illusion for what she thinks is a harmless Punk.

What she is apparently not considering is that by the elaborate gag pretending to have been nude in the film, she has created a false new low for herself, and anything above that illusion is now acceptable conduct as “safe” (*5). Thus no problem with sporting her flesh in a bikini for lust-- and not even at the beach for innocent fun but on a film lot for the very purpose of focusing on her half-naked body-- and conducting herself in an undignified manner with wild party girls of safe illusion. Hollywood is the master at teasing the lion without the risk, through fantasy.
But by her conduct and lies she has given herself and Christians a bad name, and what she did or didn’t do is now irrelevant. It’s just one more “pretend wizard” step in the wrong direction from home, and with her new “bad name” for things she didn’t actually do, she does not yet know that she even took that step. But she did. And she’s taking her maiden followers with her to play with Leviathon that she thinks is safely chained (Job 41:1-5).

But it’s even worse.
Now when Christian leaders, trying to keep Christian virgins from conducting themselves as their apparently recent fallen Christian example, these ministers will simply reference what Selena herself said, and in ignorance of the truth will make themselves and their argument foolish, because the maidens who watched the movie know the argument is not true, and will therefore confuse the entire argument with the error.
Why would Selena be a part of that?
Because in her innocent youth of following her whore-grooming promoter’s direction, she sees the Punk-gag as an “I’m still innocent” lark, but they see it as an induced perspective of focus that allowed her to take the next step of wickedness that they wanted her to take. While getting her to focus on the known “wall of abomination” that she pretended to cross but didn’t, she didn’t see that she actually crossed her own virtuous “wall of abomination” far short of where she was focused. To her it was a lark, and to them it was a step. They are not grooming her to play a wizard all her life. Like with Miley, they are just paying their dues until it gets “interesting.” Well, it’s starting to get just a little more interesting, and like Christian girls following her “safe” example, sneaking out for harmless fun at Spring Break; somebody is going to get hurt, and it won’t be the good-natured gun-packing drug dealer “watching out for them” as is routinely promised by the pimp drawing her in to his inescapable web. Selena has just flavored the bait-hook and claimed innocence by not knowing what the hook would be used for.

I’m pretty sure Britney Spears was never actually a violent madam of prostitutes either; “it’s all pretend, it doesn’t hurt anyone.” But Britney did not end up in her world-class trainwreck because there was no toy in her Happy Meal one afternoon. Something happens to these young women because while they work hard at pretending to be evil they have to do questionable things to create the illusion, and that something may really surprise you, because it’s the same something that happens to you when you watch their “Television” illusions of evil while thinking it doesn’t affect you because it’s an illusion: That something is your soul that is being sucked right out of your eyes while you are looking for absent signs that it’s affecting your mind.

“I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me” Psalm 101:3.

So why do you watch it?
It’s because by familiarity it begins to cleave to you, and by not hating the work of them that turn aside, you yourself are turned aside while you pretend to hate what you watch. The safety is the illusion!

…“Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them” Romans 1:32.

So Selena is so good and moral that her next step toward evil is not to be nude but only to run around in a bikini pushing her limits with “safe” Hollywood friends for half a film pretending to be a Christian youth so good and moral that her next step toward evil is to go on spring break with her hedonist friends running around in a bikini pushing her limits pleased that she didn’t actually get nude.
But because of Miley’s new recently shocking “low,” we have re-calibrated our perspectives to accept the notion that bikini clad Christians going on hedonistic Spring Break is perfectly acceptable if they don’t actually get nude. “Anything short of nude is just good clean Jessica Simpson kind of fun for youth to explore hedonistic pleasures in life, as long as you got a Britney Spears style talisman-Cross of ‘Christianity’ hung around your neck, it can’t hurt you.”

I went to a lot of extra careful work to discover that she is not yet as wicked as she lets on (but more wicked than she knows), but most people won’t… unless they watch the film. To Godly people not “in on the gag,” her half-naked body in the movie promo is proof of the other wickedness she wants us to think she has done, by letting us… no, by leading us, to think the worst. She has created a wicked reputation among honorable people, that she must now wear. The excitement of her new “edginess” will be fun for a while, but it will wear her down, until, like Britney Spears, she herself won’t know the difference between real and pretend when it comes to her reputation, so “why not just do what everybody thinks I have already done because I already told them I did. Besides, they’re offering me a lot of money, and the next small step towards edgy sounds like unexplored fun.” But beware:

“Bread of deceit is sweet to a man (or woman); but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel” Proverbs 20:17.

The reason why I know with reasonable certainty that this will eventually take place, is because she was already willing to be in the film at all: It’s a wicked film. She has already stepped. And she will step again. Small as they are at first, they are steps… in the wrong direction. And the lie that she has already bought by trying to sell it to us, is that it is all harmlessly pretend.
The art of acting is dangerous enough, but the art of “reality TV acting” is an entirely different level of dangerous because it’s that much harder for the actress to distinguish real from pretend while they’re pretending that it’s not real. Congratulations darlin’ your virtue is apparently a lot stronger than most; your destruction is going to take 49 small steps instead of the average giant 6. But you will take them, and in the lengthy “safe” adventure short of the 49th, you will miss the bridegroom’s gate-opening. So what difference does your Christianity make in the end? Along the way you misplaced your Homing device and never even realized it was gone. The focused “49th step of your destruction” is the illusion of being safe until you reach it, but your sure destruction happened back about step number 3 when your spirit told you this was the wrong direction but you continued to step.
Somewhere along the game of pretending to be a generic pigeon in order to get along with Parrots so you can play in their park, the pretend becomes reality by the fact you failed to stay on course toward home. Remember, the only difference between a Homing Pigeon and a generic pigeon is the active homing device that eventually gets them on the other side of the gate when it is opened, because their chosen adventure lead them there one day, one step, at a time.

No wonder the Godless world gets confused at what they see when all they see are these famous “American Christians.” But these young women are more probably just Identity Thieves, like the Catholic Church, making Christians pay the bills that they charge in our name!

“They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest (known) that they were not all of us” I John 2:19.

They can’t be made manifest if we keep quiet about the fact that this is NOT Christian conduct and anybody who partakes in their I Thessalonians 4:6 “beyond fornication” wickedness is likewise not approved of our Lord Jesus Christ:

“In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, to deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus” I Corinthians 5:4-5 (read from v.1 in relation to Ephesians 5:3-8).

Can you not see the gradual change in this girl’s perceptions? And yet you think that her minor, near nude, good-girl part in the recent filthy movie had no effect. That is the same thinking that allows Christian children who watch her illusionary work to imagine that they too can go with friends on a Spring Break party of debauchery and quit any time they figure it’s getting too rough. But real life just doesn’t work like that, because leaving your pink bedroom for Hollywood is a simple first step… down hill. Climbing back up is not as easy as Hollywood makes it out to be. Example: watch Hollywood characters out-run on foot a pyroclastic flow (*6), or out ride on a motor cycle a title wave of unnatural proportions, or dodge the bullets of 15 fully auto machine guns, or go home when things get too rough.

The Five-Post Wrap Up:
So in light of this five-part Post, how applicable are the scriptures that accuse us of selling our daughters? By the many who “buy her” at the theater and elsewhere, I don’t get the impression that it’s metaphorical anymore. The result is evidenced in her current, familiar “actress style” pride in public, that reveals she now has the illusionary mindframe that she is finally a star and not just a meal. What better business can a pimp run than to have happy whores who love their profession? Don’t get me wrong, she’s not your common whore; she’s a very expensive and dignified whore… and that somehow makes honorable her whoredom~.
Remember the expensive whore in the movie Serenity that was society elevated by being legally called “companion” and trained to have unusual class of sophistication and grace added to created beauty. In her elevated social dignity she could not be offended by anything or anyone… except by the one she loved, calling her what she is. In his powerless “not your husband” male role of trying to help her see that this is not who she should want to be, all it did was offend her that he didn’t accept her as she was. She couldn’t hear his broken heart for her, begging her to stop for her own good, and offering her another way if she would but reject what she now clings to as valuable.
And guys are called insensitive?
He was powerless to say anything constructive because what he knew would be better for her, would take away what she now saw was the desirable reason for her involvement; wealth and respect. And if he first offered her his love before she rejected what brought the wealth and respect, he would either be stuck with her current wicked conduct or be accused of making her choose. So he offered her hope: The unspoken promise that if she would chose him over it on her own, he would gladly fulfill the “promise” of giving her his love. And by this necessary order she is freed from the bitter illusion that her rejection of wealth and respect was coercion by him to get what he wanted: her. This changes “being summoned” into “picking her man.” The power is hers in this Woman’s World… but neither has he been made her slave, because he refused to accept what was offensive to his masculinity.

“Give not thy strength unto woman, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings” Proverbs 31:3.

With God’s declared “hands off” reactions to their wicked ways, these Christian girls are free to implode by their own means without resistance from Him. And the lack of rebuke from God-- like the expected but never seen lightning bolt from heaven-- seems to confirm to them, and the world, that God is just fine with the wickedness of his children now days (Zephaniah 1:12 translated into our short-term New Testament Age of grace). It’s simply an offered choice that leaves the power in their hands in order to avoid feelings of oppression if they choose Him.

These five girls represent the virgin Christian;-- the sweepstakes winners-- that the world is shown in glory, and uses to evaluate the unseen masses: beautiful, powerful, seductive, manipulative, self-serving, self-glorifying, and walking in self regulated degrees of wickedness, without shame, but still presented as the approved church of Jesus Christ by “grace alone,” as is apparently proved true by the liberating New Testament itself.

But still worse than that; beyond the confusion of the spiritually ignorant world, this is also how every-day Christians see Christianity today: “Saved sinners” “Not perfect, just forgiven,” “Living by grace alone,” “Eternally secure,” etc.
And this confusion is only just now becoming fully established as the standard; the new Zero; the baseline from which all variations of authorized Christianity must hereafter branch. It’s the Catholic Church all over again… but now it’s on estrogen injections!

But while it is true that God is no longer the one to punish our wickedness for the time being-- since our own wickedness of emotional independence will do that job just fine-- we can still find His protective love and care if we will simply turn to God in humility under his benevolent guidance at the rejection of the wickedness that brings us pretty bangles (*7). The word we use to describe this is: REPENTANCE.

“Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins” James 5:19-20.

My prayer for these four remaining foolish virgins, and the many unknown others by influence, is to just STOP. Walk away. No, run. Run as fast as you can (II Timothy 2:22) and buy a replenishment of oil for your extinguished lamp before it’s too late (Matthew 25:9). I am just another virgin with my own lamp burning, but my words are the words of the Redeemer and are the currency, as given freely to me, I give them to you without cost, to buy from the Redeemer the Holy Spirit (Exodus 33:16) without money… not to return to where you were before with a new “extra-strength talisman” to protect you, but to head in the other direction; to the Bridegroom’s gate.
* * *

For a cleansing shower from the filth explored in these five Posts, I strongly encourage you to read all three chapters of II Peter in the light of this Post, and read the second chapter twice.

“…According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust”… II Peter 1:3-4.

…“For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the later end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them”… II Peter 2:20-21. A forensic recipe for a predictable trainwreck.

“Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness” II Peter 3:17.

These five Posts are not an end to themselves, if they were, I would not have risked the photos and details. And although I believe the information it contains is important to a practical application for our self-governing daughters today, it has a much bigger-picture purpose that will soon become clear.

(*5) Safe?
"She said: ‘There was too much attention - photographers, hundreds of fans, and all of us in bikinis in the pool. I had a mini breakdown on set. I got overwhelmed doing some of the things we were doing and having such an active audience at all times, even though I knew at heart we were super safe.’
Fortunately for movie-goers, Selena felt able to continue filming after an emotional heart-to-heart with the director's wife, Rachel Korine who starred alongside the actress in the flick about four tearaway teens who gets on the wrong side of the law during a riotous break away from college." - (http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2013/04/05/selena-gomez-had-mini-breakdown-filming-racy-spring-breakers/).

Super Safe from what?
“For former teen queen Selena Gomez, the opening officially marks her departure from the squeaky-clean Disney scene and is her first project that is decidedly inappropriate for her legions of young “Selenators” (or fans).
“There’s gonna be the intrigued preteens that are gonna want to sneak in and see the movie, and that’s obviously something I can’t control,” Gomez tells The Hollywood Reporter. ‘[I can] definitely warn them as best I can, but the movie is rated R, and it’s kind of a given when you see the trailer that you should be old enough to see the movie.’
Try telling that to her 14.5 million Twitter followers, who are dedicated to proclaiming their love for Gomez on the microblogging site and have supported her acting and music career since she was 15, when she broke out as a teen wizard on Disney Channel’s Wizards of Waverly Place.” - (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/risky-business/selena-gomez-spring-breakers-star-430332).

The non-Christian correspondent and interviewer is asking the teen Christian; Safe for who?

“THR: You’ve advised your younger fans not to see the movie. Do you think they’ll listen?
Gomez: There’s gonna be the intrigued preteens that are gonna want to sneak in and see the movie, and that’s obviously something I can’t control. [I can] definitely warn them as best as I can, but the movie is rated R, and it’s kind of a given when you see the trailer that you should be old enough to see the movie.

THR: Do you worry about the reaction the younger ones might have if they do sneak in?
Gomez: I don’t know. It’s interesting. I’ve gotten a little bit of mixed everything. At the end of the day, this is a film, this is a journey, this is an experience -- and it’s a hell of an experience, ’cause you’re going through a crazy whirlwind, and Harmony’s vision and imagination is crazy and you can see it in this film. And in a way, I like that I can make people feel that. So whether you hate it or whether you love it or whether you laugh, or you think it’s creepy, we made you feel something, and I think that’s really cool. So as far as how I’m gonna see how they react, hopefully it will just be settling and they can think about it.” -(http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/risky-business/selena-gomez-spring-breakers-star-430332).

Sort of sounding like Miley’s philosophy don’t you think? What is this persistent Hollywood brainwashing that preaches to these young women that everything is morally OK because actors are just supposed to make you feel “something,” i.e. ANYTHING? What is with this lawless emotionalism that these young girls are buying, even in the face of an emotional breakdown because your soul tells you it’s WRONG?

“Blessed is the man (or young woman) that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly (like the director's wife, Rachel Korine), nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful” Psalm 1:1.

“THR: Do you feel as if you’re getting desensitized to it because you have seen the movie so many times?
Gomez: Yeah, definitely. It doesn’t faze me anymore. It really doesn’t. I’m just like, ‘Woo, awesome!’ But yeah, the first couple of times it was kind of hard for me to swallow a little bit, to be honest.” - (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/risky-business/selena-gomez-spring-breakers-star-430332).

Once you start exploring this trash there is just nowhere to stop, so let’s just stop here. Selena is already being well indoctrinated into growing numb to the wickedness that actresses need to experience to do their jobs today. The writing is all over this wall too! And unlike Belshazzar of Daniel 5:1-9, even the Godless interviewer can read it:

“She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God” Zephaniah 3:2.

(*6) “A pyroclastic flow (also known scientifically as a pyroclastic density current) is a fast-moving current of hot gas and rock (collectively known as tephra), which reaches speeds moving away from a volcano of up to 700 km/h (450 mph)” - (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyroclastic_flow).

(*7) “O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. O LORD, correct me, but with (lawful) judgment; not in thine (emotional) anger, lest thou bring me to nothing” Jeremiah 10:23-24.

Meaning: I understand that I’m supposed to do the walking while you direct where I walk. It’s a beautiful relationship of personal liberty within a safe boundary of protection. It’s my friend’s tropical bird choosing to see the house as its entire world and being fully contented to take pleasure in all that that home-life can provide. It wouldn’t desire to leave the house if the door were left open all day; it’s perfectly happy to remain right here where it is loved. And because of that worldview discovery of just who is whom, the door IS now left open all day, and the bird is free to swoop out any ol’ time it finds a need or desire to do so. It’s not in danger because it knows where home is. It’s a Homing Pigeon; it wants to be home.
This is the entire point of the New Testament liberation by making it “a Woman’s World” now. Will you honor and obey your husband’s (God’s) authority because you love him, or are you full of self-management? Do whatever you want to do, the door is open: Is your Mindy McReady heart conflicted? Feel free to swoop out the door, there is no judgment to be found in the swooping. If you find yourself wanting to come back soon it is because your Homing Heart wants to come back. If not, enjoy the park. You are liberated.

The reason why, in the above verse, that we want to be judged by the stable judgment of the law rather than the variable judgment of emotion is because the law is predictable, it is static, it is solid, it is knowable. It has no variables to explode unexpectedly in fits of anger or jealousy or fear. It has very specific unchanging boundaries of crime-and-punishment that can’t come as a surprise. And although we are absolutely guilty under the law, and under that law the irrevocable penalty is death for the guilt, Jesus Christ sacrificed himself to legally pay the static judgment of death for us! Of course we want to be judged by the law, Jesus has paid the judgment in full for anyone who will accept it! (Matthew 6:28, John 19:30). That payment is applicable because he paid it for all those who choose to accept it by marriage to the Son of God (John 1:12-13) and thereby become daughters-in-law to him who raised us to that end (Song of Solomon 4:10). The Holy Spirit homing device is your notarized guarantee of the marriage that has not yet taken place because it is not yet time for the gate to be opened, because not all who will, have yet responded to the offer. So don’t squander that notarization while we wait (Ephesians 4:30). No Holy Spirit= no confirmation, and, no entry through the gate:

“But he shall say…depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity (93)” Luke 13:27.

iniquity 93 adikia; from 94; (legal) injustice (properly, the quality, by implication, the act); morally, wrongfulness (of character, life or act):-- iniquity, unjust, unrighteousness, wrong.
[interpreted: lawlessness].

So here is the million-dollar test question to help you discern if you comprehend the point of these Posts, it’s time to make an early evaluation while we wait for the next Post:

Are all, or any, or none, of these five young women Christians? In effect, that’s what the world wants to know.
