Charity never faileth

Charity or Love? Why do Bible Translators use "charity" instead of "love" when both mean 'agape' in the Greek? Because love often fails many, whereas "charity never faileth" any. Most Bible readers wouldn't know there are four kinds of love mentioned in the Bible: 'storge', 'eros', 'agape', 'agapaw'. Many readers also wouldn't know the 'agape' love God is in 1Jn 4 can fail if it's not perfected: love void of fear, which is then called 'agapaw' (perfect love). So "love one another" is 'agapaw' one another (not 'agape' one another). The Bible clarifies perfect love is graceful: pure grace void of law. Perfect is also clarified as merciful: full of mercy, void of sacrifice. Hence "be ye perfect" in Mt 5:48 is also "be ye merciful" in Lk 6:36. And in James 3's comparison of two wisdoms, only when grace (wisdom from above) is firstly pure, is peace then able among seven things noted about firstly pure wisdom from above.

So "God is love(agape)" is further clarified with perfected love(agape) casts out "fear hath torment" in 1Jn 4, which speaks (when thinking allowed, and allegoric reasoning used) of casting out the root source of fear: law. For "law worketh wrath: Rom 4:15, and infirmities: Heb 7, and concupiscence: Rom 7, and accusation: Jn 5:45, and condemnation: 2Cor 3, and even death: 2Cor 3:7. And in the same allegoric manner "God hath not appointed us unto wrath" in 1Thes 5:9 meaneth God hath not appointed us unto law (worketh wrath).

Laws are for them: children and servants who do not yet get it: understanding, so still need to be told what to Do-teronomy and Don't-eronomy. But such childish law law produces all manner of concupiscence among those unaware. So higher exhortation is to be one: "us" (to whom God hath given the victory) which is neither of them vs them who are divided and "oppose themselves", by "come out from among them" and "be no more children" (neither sort of two sorts, not even the children of God); for "thou are no more servant" (neither of the servants of sin or the servants of righteousness, since "Christ is the end of the law for righteousness"). So even the right side of Son of Man left/right sides is a childish blame game; Albeit better of two sorts of children, but not yet what's best for all if only right to make others wrong. And in sow doing ignorant children unknowingly condemn themselves. For "there is no respect of persons with God" and "a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump".

Charity or love. As "charity edifieth" is only point #1 of Pauline clarity about charity and such is further clarified till it becomes known how and why "charity never faileth"; So also the 'agape' love God is, is also further clarified, till it's the 'agapaw' love "God so loved(agapawed) the world" with that he sent his Son into the world. And notably God sent not his Son to condemn(law) the world already condemned by law added, and thereby a world suffering from a bad case of grace + law = life + death = a dead end, fear hath torment thereof. So not this, but that: that through him the world might be saved (graced): "delivered from the law", a "ministration of death". For law imputes sin, and sin, when "it is finished", brings forth death: James 1:15. So to be rid of death we have to put away laws (childish things) to be "man" of child/man. And further exhortation is to be "made" (of created/made) "perfect" man kind.

Such biblical clarity, "written for our learning", and written in the form of allegory with a moral, also speaks of what the allegoric script-u-are saith: "cast out the bondwoman and her son" (Gal 4); And "which things are an allegory" meaneth: cast out the law ("this Agar is Mt Sinai" = law) and the result of such "law worketh wrath": fear hath torment; Also law imputed sin's deadly "sting".

Charity never fails! In conjunction with charity never fails we have mention of law things which fail and end bad, but eventually vanish. Prophecies shall fail. Tongues (plural: grace + law) shall cease (die). Knowledge (of law) shall even vanish (for such old and imperfect law is "ready to vanish": Hebrews 8:13). So prophecies shall fail, tongues shall cease, and knowledge shall vanish, are all about law of grace + law; Law added to grace is sufficient coming to naught, and eventually knowledge of law and even mention of law vanishing, lest it give place to devilish law worketh wrath, infirmities, concupiscence, and death. For the first of two laws compassing sea and land gives place to "another law" which makes one proselyte twofold: more the child of hell and produces all manner of "evil" concupiscence. Another law, if not also put away as childish and errant (of life in Christ Jesus: the reverse of Jesus Christ), also gives place to the first law of such a childish law <-> law merry go round.

Law knowledge "puffeth up", whereas "charity edifieth": builds up, from the sure foundation of Jesus Christ, grace and truth thereof, so that building up, growing up, through J->C unto the Christ thereof: the end of the law for righteousness is sure not to fall (from grace), as another man's foundation (Mosaic grace + law: all vanity and vexation of spirit) and the building thereon falls whenever an ill wind blows or earthquake topples it to a pile of ruin: like the WTC was toppled by terror-ists. Moses' law was a great terror: Dt 34:12, making Moses a great terror-ist who terror-ized himself with his law. And Jerusalem Jerusalem has been twice toppled, to ruin, by it's own law law.

For doublemindead "Jerusalem Jerusalem" was twice built on the unsure foundation of Mosaic law. Thereby Babylon the "great": that "great" city, is notably also twice fallen ("is fallen, is fallen"): from greatest to greater, then from greater to great of great greater greatest. Babylon the great is twice fallen bwd to great <- greater <- greatest, like Eli of "Eli Eli" fell 'bwd' off his judgmental Moses' seat: law, and died. Charity never fails, because it's not twice fallen bwd, but rather twice risen fwd to great -> greater -> greatest. So reconciled unto God speaks of two resurrections and two reconcileds; as two uprisings: first uprising to the up-right side of left/right them vs them (divided against themselves) heavens of them and their Son of Man, then further uprising higher than the heavens to the united heaven of "us". For Paul notes Jerusalem above (such Jerusalem Jerusalem) is mother of "us" all.

Edification builds up from below, to the right side of a left/right sides war of a heaven which is still divided: against itself, and allegorically called heavens. Exhortation up lifts higher from above, to the undivided heaven which is "higher than the heavens". So also the greatest (God) up lifted the greater (Christ) to heaven ("higher than the heavens") after he was risen to the right side of left/right heavens. So it is written, Christ entered heaven and appeared in the presence of God for "us" (not for either of two thems) and the Lord is longsuffering to "us-ward". Yet as Paul notes we (us) are of "them" who believe to the saving of the soul (of them on the right side of them vs them). It's an allegoric twice risen fwd concept: them(good) -> them(better) -> us(best).

Pauline Clarity of Charity #16: 1Corinthians 13: 13

Charity is the "greatest" of "three things"

1Corinthians 13:13
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three;
but the greatest of these [is] charity.

Faith is great, but of two faiths: (i) blind faith in Mosaic law and (ii) seeing faith of JC's grace and truth, the faith of the Son of God is the greater of great/greater faiths, and called "the faith" (of faiths). Converted Peter also mentions seven things to add to your faith, and charity is the seventh, making charity not only the greatest of three things, but the seventh of seven things concerning now faith (of faith then/now); and now faith is seven things.

In the "better testament" of two testaments hope is also called "better hope", which is better of good/better things, or greater of great/greater things, or hope in the better of such law/grace, greater of such lie/truth. JC said of himself (allegorically speaking of his grace and truth): a "greater" prophet and king than Jonah and Solomon is here (Mt 12: 41,42). So we have hope in the greater one of twain. The NT mentions seven types of hope. In the midst of such seven hopes is "eternal" hope, which eventually becomes "lively" hope, which not only gets one hoping, but also hopping. Yet beyond or above even lively hope, charity is the greatest of faith, hope, charity. For the faith of the Son of God will get you hoping greater things than great tribulation and great terror of Mosaic law. But beyond hope of greater things is greatest of three things: charity. Charity never fails, which speaks of 'paramuthia' comfort, the third of three things we should speak unto men: edification, exhortation, comfort.

Charity is the "greatest" of "three things": (great -> greater) -> "greatest". Such is neither great nor greater, yet it is of the greater of great/greater things; But beyond things which are divided (against each other), such as even Mosaic law and JC's grace in Jn 1:17. Such (great) law given by Moses and (greater) grace which came by Jesus Christ are also allegorically compared as lie and truth. Such truth thereof JC is still twofold until the word of truth is rightly divided: truth about Moses' law (eg: it's accuser of the brethren: Jn 5:45), and truth about God's grace: His grace does not accuse. Grace cannot accuse (law) any more than God can lie (law) or die (law). For if grace did accuse, add law to grace is sufficient, then it would be "no more grace" but grace + law. And since law is a ministration of death, such would be life + death = a dead end. A dead end is what the living God, the God of all grace (no law), will not have.

Hence we find "division" (and not peace) before the cross, which becomes "peace" (and not division) after the cross by the abolition of accusation-all law. And "he is our peace", afterward of such before/after, speaks of neither "fear him" nor "fear not"... neither of such Do-teronomy and Don't-eronomy Law Law which produces all manner of (evil) concupiscence; notably by "another law" of such Rom 7 & 8 law -> law: via the child of hell compassing sea and land to make one proselyte: more the "child" of hell than the previous child of hell. Both such are notably called a "child" of hell (of law worketh wrath), even though the second of two sorts of children are called children of God.

1. Great: Moses' law was "great", but it's also a great terror-ist (Dt 34:12)
2. Greater: JC's grace is "greater", abounds "much more" than law imputed sin
3. Greatest: "the God of all grace" (no law at all) is what's greatest of 3 things.

Charity firstly "edifieth": builds up, from great to greater, as if building up from Jesus => Christ (the only foundation laid that is a sure foundation). But charity doesn't stop at Christ, the greater of Jesus -> Christ, and as if the greater one of twain (a "greater" prophet & king than Jonah & Solomon "is here": Mt 12:41,42; that Jesus Christ "is come": 1Jn 4 as the trueth one of twain spirits). No. For J->C is come to lead both sorts of children unto what is even greater than greater; as the narrow way of twain "leadeth" unto the life of the new and "living" way which is "more excellent" than either of broad or narrow ways. And charity is the "greatest" of "three things". So charity goes beyond the narrow way which only "leadeth" unto life, goes on unto "perfection" ("Grace with you all"), and by going on unto the "fulness of Christ" (the "perfect man" we're exhorted to "grow up unto": Eph 4, notably by "be no more children").

1. "children" of flesh: Rom 9 (children of the wicked: Mt 13)... "great"
2. "children" of God: Rom 9 (children of the kingdom: Mt 13)... "greater"
3. Be no more "children" tossed to and fro: Put away "childish things" (laws)

The growth progression is: (children -> children) -> man kind. For God said let "us" make "man" (not them, nor create, nor even make men or children): Let us "make" (of created/made things) one "man" who is "kind" like charity, of two options notably given for "making" (not creating) of "man" (not men): (i) in our image (mirrorly the reverse) or (ii) after our likeness (the express image of God, the true image of God). Such is also an allegoric shew, in the form of before/after, both played out for all to see which is which of twain, which is greater of great/greater. Yet the two part twain shew is not the be all and end all, which is also about a third part: the greatest of three things, which is achieved by leaving great/greater parts for what is "greatest" of three things.

Be ye "perfect" (graceful, merciful, peaceful): all grace and no law at all, all mercy and no sacrifice at all, all peace and no war at all: all "unity" of the Spirit and no left/right Son of Man "division" at all; Since the Son of Man has a bad ending for "them all" (both sorts of them, goats and sheep): destruction, as Lord "also" of the Sabbath: a Revelation Sabbath shewdown still having two Lords (Grace and Law) instead of one Lord of Lords: Grace. Such perfection (graceful, merciful, peaceful) is via all light and no darkness at all, as "that God" (of this/that Gods: Law/Grace) notably "is". That God is total understanding void of ignorance, especially "willing ignorance". For willing ignorance, according to converted Peter, is what caused the first of two worlds he allegorically compares, to perish. Awareness, on the other hand, is what results in "none perish"; Which is the will of the Lord (now that Spirit: that God) who is long-suffering to "us-ward", which is all us and no them at all.

1. Them: who draw back to perdition (like a dog returned to his vomit: law)
2. Them: who believe to the saving of the soul (still soulish: Adamic children)
3. Us: neither of two thems, yet we are "of them who believe to the saving of the soul"

The growth progression is (them -> them) -> us. Come out from among "them", be ye separate(us), the higher exhortation (uplifting from above). Many Out of Church Christians are doing just that, leaving the hypocrisy, partiality, and lies of childish law law ministers of Satan (law) in the churches, such as oxymoronic: you too can have partiality from an impartial God. Not! Not then, not now, not ever. For "the God of all grace" never changes and that God does not compromise with children either. All the lying, crying, and dying of six billion children has not moved nor changed that God one bit. And "there is no respect of persons (no partiality, none) with God"... None! There is not even any partiality with a law God, for merciless law killeth all, being a "ministration of death". Even the second law, the law of love of such law law (love one another) fails all, abusing all with accusation and condemnation; imputing sin for the hell of it, thereby stinging all with such a "sting" of death. Many have tried, and all have failed, to love one another by the law of love.

Death, dead end thereof, is what the living God will not have: not then, not now, not ever. So until childish adults grow up unto the Christ of Jesus Christ is come as the second part of a two part shew about a third part, and furthermore unto the fulness of that Christ, and thereby get it: understanding, by probating the will of God, the "mystery" thereof which is only made known unto "us" (not them), thereby understand that "God cannot die" and "God cannot lie" is "allegory" for Grace cannot law. Until then, well, all adults made one proselyte: more the "child" of hell by such childish law -> law, and also all adults being sow dog gone law <- law, can all bend over and kiss both their divided (left/right) law <-> law Cheri bums bye bye for being childish adults.

For both Cheribums overshadow the mercy seat. God "plainly" said I will meet with you "above" the Mosaic mercy seat. For such a seat as Moses' seat: law, is obviously not merciful (all who despised Moses' law died "without mercy"). Rather such a childish poddy seat as Moses' seat is as pew-y and as easily provoked (charity is not easily provoked) as the Holy "Ghost" was both tempted (God cannot be tempted) and provoked in the allegoric provocation noted in Hebrews 3 we are exhorted to "consider". The allegoric moral thereof being: if any add any "law worketh wrath" to "my grace is sufficient for thee" (no law req'd), then it makes grace "no more grace", but rather a perversion: perverted and polluted grace + law, or oxymoronic sufficient + not sufficient.

Obviously many childish adult "servants" still do "such like" (rather than "from such turn away") as do "dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie": and notably such things are Pauline revealed by his angel as still being "in the churches": "I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches". We find many adult ministers still pride them-selves on being "children" of God, when the higher exhortation for "man" is "put away childish things", and "be no more children". The same allegoric concept applies to both sorts of servants as to both sorts of children being law law with both sorts of laws.

1. Servants: of sin (law imputes sin, law is also the strength of sin)
2. Servants: of righteousness (Christ is the end of the law for righteousness)
3. Thou art no more servant, but a son.

See Clarity of Charity Page 5: for Clarity of Charity Point #17:
As going on to the perfection of charity is the seventh of seven things,
which is also the third of three things (greatest of great greater greatest)
much like the prophetic third day is also the seventh day when counting.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
