What does being as a child have to do with already having the perfection of God, so that we know sin to be sin? Because it is the child like faith and humility which knows that it is God's good pleasure to give us the kingdom. And thus, as John writes in 1 John 2, we can go on from being as children, unto being mature, through walking with Christ and entering into His Promises, already having the foundation by which we know we are new, perfect, sinless, and incorruptible in Him. The fact that the tabernacle had no inner court, is the truth which conveys that before the Law of Moses there was no law for the flesh, as there was only the truth regarding whether or not someone worshiped God. This is also the same kind of child like faith and humility that is found in first receiving Christ in Spirit and truth, and possessing perfection, by which we may even firstly know what sin is, to be able to walk with Christ unto entering in, where our rest includes not even having to struggle with being a sinner, just as the foundation for those who enter in, is to be saved and worshiping God no matter what. As with the seed rotting and us being in Christ, whether our feet are dirty or clean.

The Law of Moses was perfect and will remain forever, just as it is also spiritual. But it is the testimonies that are found in the Law which are the Shadows pointing unto the Spirit and Christ, by which the Law is fulfilled and forever remains. In this way, just as God said in Isaiah, there shall always be priests according to the order of Aaron and the Levites. Included in this, the Law being written on our heart and mind is the proof by which we need no works so as to bring us to God. It is only through our faith in God that we are first brought near to Him, and then it is only through our outworkings of what we inwardly believe and possess in perfection, that we perfect our faith and enter in. And thus it is also proven how the whole Law is hung on the first two commandments, for the works that we have which perfect our faith, are the outworkings of us wholly loving God, and then loving our neighbor as ourselves, as we treat others as we would like to be treated. Knowing that we can also wholly love God, as we wholly love others.

The fact that Christianity became possessing grace and faith, and then not being able to fall away beyond repentance, except through evil works, is the same kind of sandy foundation that is found in saying that someone is saved because they are of the bloodline of Abraham, and that they follow the Law.

There is a difference between having bad fruit, and having dead works.

In the book of Jeremiah, God gave the parable of the figs. Some figs were good, and some figs were bad, and God spoke saying that the good figs represented the people who were going to go captive, and that He had them go captive to protect them from the destruction that He was going to bring on the bad figs. Figs usually represent contemplation, just as they can be used for healing. In being used for healing, they are comforting and soothing, just as wine and oil are also used for healing. It was Zedekiah who was said to be of the bad figs, and the wickedness that was with Zedekiah is how he was walking in pretense concerning the LORD. And this can be found in how he dealt with Jeremiah and God's spoken word. And one main characteristic of having pretense with the LORD, just as this is spoken of as being evil elsewhere in the Bible, is that it includes having a hidden agenda. This is why fruit is firstly spiritual, and spiritually discerned, because it is the heart of things that God is looking into.

The Sabbath represents God's rest, and God's rest foremostly includes no longer being alone. God's rest is not concealed unto just meaning that there is no work to be done, whether spiritually or physically. So in Amos 8 when it speaks about people wanting the Sabbath to be over, what it is really speaking about, is people who are not waiting on the LORD, but are eager to go do something else. In this, we may also see how it is possible for people to bear fruit, and for it to look good, but for God to not be in it, let alone His oneness. And this is what Amos 8 is about.

When Hebrews speaks about us being delivered and cleansed and healed from our dead works, it is speaking about works that are done that bear no fruit. And this is different from having bad fruit. The bad fruit is a counterfeit of good fruit, just as discernment is to be in the Spirit. The Spirit is the Rock and foundation of Christ, which can not be torn down, even by a storm. This is true, just as through sowing to the Spirit, all things may work for good, just as the first two commandments also have to do with love, knowing that the verse says "all things work for good to those who love God." Dead works do not come into working for good, because they are *dead*. The reason that all things work for good to those who love God, is because they have the foundation of the Spirit, by which their intents and thoughts are perfect, and bear fruit, even though the flesh might outwardly corrupt and be blown away, and thus have a type of dead works. The foundation of the Spirit is found in not blaspheming Him or rejecting the spoken word of Christ. Doesn't that happen though with every sin that sin willfully sins in the flesh? Yes, but it takes the pure of heart to approach God, in which His throne of grace is also boldly approached as people believe in the perfection of the new birth, and not in the graceful condemnation that alights in drawing back, shrinking back, and departing from Him. Just as God is severe regarding His oneness, and His Promises. Therefore David spoke about presumption and great transgression, and it is pretenses that by nature contain the will to procede or draw back, based on one's own judgment and discernment, and not on God's. This leads into someone being right in their own eyes, and not being right in God's. The main way pretense manifests is through people not possessing the spoken word of Christ, which is spiritual. The very word pretense actually means that someone has grafted in an agenda that is put in place above what is straight according to God, just as pretense indirectly seeks it own agenda, and direction. This is how falling away beyond repentance happens, because though someone may attempt to have all things be worked for good, if the foundation in pretense isn't FIRSTLY and FOREMOSTLY taken away, there has already conceived the thorns and briers which have willfully already acted, sown to, and fully agreed, even with knowledge, to be in place of what is straight, according to Spirit and truth. The crooked path is born through pretense, and the only way for a crooked path to be made straight, is for the straight path of the LORD to be brought back. This is where the context of someone just having the ungodly sorrow of the world that is only sorrowful about consequences must be discerned so that the godly sorrow that is sorrowful about the sin may bring forth the intents and thoughts, which will bear good fruit as what was lost is saved, and there is a coming away from sin, and not just the consequences, as the Promises in the new birth are given. The makeup of pretense is to have already shut that down, and this is why even being sorrowful with the sorrow of the world, can not save, but what was lost goes into perdition.

This is what gives the interpretation of the parable in which Jesus said that no one who puts their hand on the plow and turns back is fit for the kingdom of God. Because pretense leads into being double towards God, as a person already spiritually sows unto not entering in, as with the hidden agenda, just as the Israelites were willing to go back to Egypt, and just as Christ said that the Pharisees were entertaining evil thoughts as He was healing the paralytic. So when a person has fully denied the Promise that God has made available, they have rejected Christ, His Spoken word, and blasphemed the Spirit. Going on from that, when are person has already denied even wanting to be able to make the path straight, they have trampled upon the blood of the covenant of the Son of God, and insulted the Spirit of grace, therefore it is impossible that there be a sacrifice left that could save them. Just as Christ can not be crucified again, but 'had already offered' the un-corrupted knowledge of the Holy Spirit to trade and do business with. And what can make a path straight, but the salvation of what was lost? To say that we just cancel out the distance we had from the straight path, and then merely 'start over' is to attempt to actually not even prepare the way and turn to God. To merely start over, contains no actual reconciliation, as with the definition of reconciliation. And this is why Christ has foremostly come to save what was lost. New Age reconciliation falls short and can not enter in.
