FEB 2, 2026:  ONE BALANCE    Every single time I look into a long standing disagreement between two supposed extremes within Christianity, such as faith-vs-works, predestination-vs-choice, or law-vs-grace, I come to the same “Oy vey” conclusion.  Both sides must always be out of balance if they present a single extreme as an absolute truth!

W H A T  ! ? !

It's simple.  If it is a long standing disagreement, like Works-vs-Faith, there is truth in both extremes, but God's full truth is NEITHER and must INCLUDE His version of BOTH.  To grasp that always requires a change in perspective, from man's linear three verse logic proofs — to God's concrete, pictorial, story telling.  It is the balance of Works-vs-Faith taught to his Disciple by Jesus during their three year Rabbi School.  They were Jews, and Jesus was teaching the Father's fulfillment of Blood Covenant.  And Blood Covenant with God ALWAYS includes a balance of both “doing to become” clauses and faith (trusting Him in the doing).  ALWAYS!  And God's balance therefore always redefines both works and faith!

Arguing either extreme tells me you don't understand
the balance found in God's Blood Covenant.
The Jewish roots of Christianity.

JAN 26, 2026:  ONE BEGOTTEN    Because the Christ is the very essence of the Father's desire for us, “Begotten” was a real thing that did happen at a specific point in time, about when our previous sun exploded (details available, stars almost never burn out).  The Father wanted to begin making a reality of what He had desired for eons, so He “acquired,” “spoke,” “set forth,” that Word, the Christ.  And that Word was then per Hebrew thinking, the Father standing face-face toward Himself.  Together they formed the earth from a “least part” of the core of that exploded sun.  That is what John 1:1 is all about!

In that specific “ORIGINAL” was the Word, and the Word was toward God, and God was the Word.  He was in ORIGINAL toward God.  All things were made through him, and apart from him was not any thing made that was made.  In him was life, and the life was the light of man.

For lack of understanding the HOW and WHY of creation,
the Nicene Creed wrongly pushed Begotten back into eternity.
That perpetuates the necessity for a LOT of religious hand waving.

JAN 19, 2026:  ONE PATTERN    In my last BLOG about ONE FLESH I said God wants us to see and practice Masculine-Feminine is His way!  So, what is that way?  Excellent question!  But first here is some ground work.

I see a similar Pattern built into every godly relationship at every level, be it Father-Christ; Christ-human race; husband-wife; parent-child; even boss-employee.  Here is that PATTERN:

The Body is “Out From” the Head (it defines the body's purpose)
Of Same Stuff, or Essence
Equal
Separate (out from)
Independent
Unequal (example, the Father is still greater, Jesus said so)
One Spirit With (the Holy Spirit from the Father)
By Choice Under (the hard choice)

Now to answer the how do we practice question.  “Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God, rose from supper.  He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist.  Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.”  John 13:3-5  So, one way is...

You practice knowing you are accepted by the Father,
and made neither more nor less loved by the thing
the Father tells you to do next.

JAN 12, 2026:  ONE FLESH    The Lord showed me why He is adamantly opposed to anything that distorts, weakens, or tries to destroy the Image He created in Genesis.  It is the shadow form He has given us to help us understand Him!  Male and female united as one reveals the very heart of His heart, intentions, and purposes toward and for us.

That is why He “hates” divorce (Malachi 2:16), calls homosexuality an abomination (Leviticus 18:22, 20:13), and specifically forbids adultery as one of the Ten Commandments right after murder (Exodus 20:14).  He is totally against anything that perverts marriage and the masculine-feminine balance as He designed it.

Judges, governments, legal systems, and even religious institutions, all need to take note.

He REALLY wants us to see and practice Masculine-Feminine His way!

JAN 5, 2026:  ONE WAY    Acts 4:12  “And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."  Why!?!  Well there are complicated theological explanations that are probably sort of true, but me — I much prefer parables, allegories, and simple Bible pictures.

For Adam the animals where NOT a fit, so God took a rib (support, part or portion, a side of, literally a template of Adam).  If something fit the template it could be built into Eve.  If it didn't fit, it did not make the cut.  Simple.

Now, Christ was the Father's desire spoken.  So, figuratively He is a side of, a portion of, or a rib of the Father.  If we don't fit into Christ,  we don't make the cut!   We don't fit into the companion the Father is building.  You can't get simpler than that!

I love the way the Bible is written!
Concrete, Pictorial, Story-telling!
All there right under your nose.

DEC 29, 2026:  ONE LIE    There is a plural-unity God, who at every level has built masculine-feminine, equal-unequal, head-body, into any and all godly relationships so that no matter what or where we are, we get to practice what the Father wants from us long range.

Now, there is ALSO one liar and one main lie, just expressed in hundreds of ways.  You individually are god!  You have rights!  Man and woman should be totally, unequivocally, equal in all things.  God's labeling of things as an abomination to Him is nonsense, we all have the individual right to be exactly what we want.  God is wrong to want us.  And it goes on and on.

I maintain Satan's lies, in whatever form, all add together to actually substantiate that the Father is RIGHT!  Look around you, what you get from Satan through men is chaos, broken promises, greed, corruption, starvation, war, and judgement.  But practicing God's equal-unequal, head-body, submitted to Christ, relationships, brings a peace that passes understanding.

Everything ties together!

DEC 22, 2025:  ONE HALF-TRUTH    Every time I hear a pastor or teacher say, “You're in God's image....” to one person or another I have mixed feelings.  I'm thankful for the mention of Image and also then aware the pastor or teacher knows at best half of what they think they know!  The Image is the information ABOUT God!  Adam and Eve are just the screen the info is projected on!!!!

Genesis 1:26 “Let us make humans in our image, in likeness of us.”  Plural, plural, plural.  Elohim created them male and female.  Plural, plural.  I hate to tell you, but He needed a male AND a female to produce one Image of the one plural-unity God.  The Image is about relationships, about building a helper for Adam, a Bride for Christ, AND in the end a companion for the Father, see 1 Corinthians 15:28.

Only after we understand how important that is to Him
can we carefully look at us, married or single!

DEC 15, 2025:  ONE THING    As I look back at my 82 years of life I see that the Lord has adjusted every single bit of it to help me grasp the truth of one simple thing He wanted from the very beginning to show us all about Himself, about “God's Image.”  So, here it is, in one sentence.

Read Genesis 2:18-25 NOT just as if it was the story of God creating Adam and Eve, but also as if it was carefully crafted to be a parable, an allegory, of the Father's thinking, desire, and actions, in building us into the companion He wanted from the beginning.

Every detail nails what He is up to!
Why Christ was begotten!
Why life is found only in Christ,
And more!
