Fervent Charity: A Kiss of Charity

II - Peter's Clarity of Charity


Clarity about Charity Point #23:
1Pet 4:8a

 "above all things have fervent charity among yourselves":

Paul is the first biblical writer to mention "charity", and major clarifier of it as spiritual perfectness: the fulness of Christ: the end of the law. Paul notes salvation completenes involves faith (the law is not of faith), charity (spiritual purity and maturity), and holiness with sobriety. Spiritual sobriety is as not having another drink of law ever again to be as perfect, also merciful, as y(our) Father in heaven: the God of all grace (no law at all). Paul also clarifies: To wit: that God was in "Christ" reconciling the world unto himself... not law imputing sin. So Paul The Apostle, when he reached Spiritual Adulthood, said: "I do not frustrate (law) the grace of God" (law makes it "no more grace"). Paul's writings evidently helped bring about a "converted" Peter (formerly one of three top dogs), who then mentions all Paul's writings in his second writing.

Converted Peter then speaks of "charity" (the bond of perfectness) as spiritual perfectness, and to "strengthen" brethren as told to
in Lk 22:32 "when (not if) thou art converted"; For even as Simon -> Peter, Peter's called "Satan", denoting: spiritual conversion (grace) is after spiritual perversion (law <= law).

Then Peter, notably as an apostle of "Jesus Christ", says to brethren scattered: Grace unto you, and peace be multiplied; like the holy kiss greeting of Paul: "Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ". The point of such clarity being: firstly pure grace, and only then peace able; the Lord being "Jesus Christ" (not "Christ Jesus", the reverse, allegorically as if the reverse of the Saviour is the Destroyer, as the reverse of grace is law).

So then "converted" Peter, as an apostle of "Jesus Christ", says to "strengthen" scattered brethren: "above all things have fervent charity among yourselves". Fervent charity speaks of intense earnest spiritual growth (purity and maturity) without ceasing (dying), intense earnest fulness of Christ: "the end of the law" to the max (no law at all, as in the end), later on noting in 1Peter 5:10 "the God of all grace" make "you": "perfect, stablished, strengthened, and settled". As a Spiritual Adult the matter of law or grace is for ever settled in your mind.

Just prior to saying "above all things have fervent charity among yourselves" Peter talks of therefore be ye "sober" (not drunken with law), and because "the end of all things is at hand". And just after says: use hospitality without grudging, as if to use grace without law, noting the grace of God is manifold; Each individual having some sort of gift, with which to minister "grace" as good (not good + evil) stewards of the grace (not grace + law) of God.

Clarity about Charity Pt #24: 1Pet 4:8b:
 Charity shall cover the multitude of sins
(not as a cover up, rather as a revelation)

The objective of charity is not so much to be any cover up, but more of an uncovering (revelation); not so much any veiling, but an unveiling (awareness). So when converted Peter first talks of charity, mentioning it shall cover the multitude (all) of sins, he means grace and truth shall hinder (make it history) the knowledge of sins, or make law imputed sin consciousness among people a childish thing of the past (done away, blotted out, gone and forgotten). So for clarity of charity it behooves us to "know" (brings freedom: Jn 8:32) how charity (spiritual maturity) does a purge-ing of sin consciousness, by purging dble "minds" and "hearts" of law (the source of sin and lust consciousness).

Charity does such by rising above forgiving one another, which speaks of pure grace void of law. For only law imputes sin to them all, then demands forgiveness by them all to them all (or else nobody gets forgiven by law, thereby "the curse of the law" makes forgiveness a mission impossible). With J of JC it's: "forgive them", "them" who "know not" law imputed sin makes sinners all, and sin brings forth death to all, as a "sting" of law: 1Cor 15:56. Yet it's far better to abolish law, as did C of JC. So eternal salvation, eternal life, God given victory, and peace with God, are all notably "through" J -> C.

Far better to go through the cross to risen and seated with "Christ": "the end of the law", than to get hung up on the cross with "Jesus": "born under the law"; especially if "cursed every one that hangeth on a tree" (Gal 3). Better to know, since know-ing (freedom thereof) is above and beyond faith-ing and hope-ing, especially if many children keep their hope so low it doesn't have far to fall. Better the spiritual adult than children: get tossed to <=> fro by law <=> law.

So the higher exhortation than the edification to be the better sort of children, is "be not children in understanding": 1Cor 14, "be no more children": Eph 4, become man of child/man: 1Cor 13, by putting away "childish" things: laws.
1. Children of flesh: Rom 9 (children of the wicked: Mt 13)... a "draw back"
2. Children of God: Rom 9 (children of the kingdom: Mt 13)... but "go on"
3. Be not children in understanding, be no more children, be "man" kind.

For God did NOT say let us make child, but rather said "let us make man", and as if declaring the end from the beginning. So "the way" a child should go, is fwd (endure to the end) to spiritual grace rather than bwd to spiritual law, which speaks of go on to the third way of three ways, just as "charity never faileth" is called "greatest" of "three things" (great -> greater -> greatest) and twice fallen Baby-lon is called "great" of great <- greater <- greatest; Perhaps to help the "children" of God know which way to go of <- bwd and fwd ->:
1. Broad Way... leadeth to destruction (a "draw back" to "perdition")
2. Narrow Way... leadeth unto life (eternal life, by go on unto perfection)
3. More Excellent Way... the "new" and "living" way, by know-ing the truth
For Rom 8 is only half way to Rom 16, and Heb 6 only half way to Heb 13; so whoever stops there is like a half wit rather than the "to wit" of 2Cor 5:19.

Sadly many 'adult' Christians pride themselves in being "children" of God, and thereby tend to get "seduced" by "another law", the "second" law (to love) of Mt 22: 36-40 and Rom 8:2
deceitful law <- law (as if two beasts of Rev 13), which only makes for a latter end worse: more the "child" of hell(law). As JC forewarned the second law is "like the first" law: sin & death (a ministration of condemnation and death: 2Cor 3: 7,9); Rather than getting free (purged) of sin consciousness and free of all manner of (evil) concupiscence of such sin and lust consciousness, by abolishing all law. For even Paul of Saul -> Paul clarifies he felt like a wretched man via giving place to another law (Romans 7).

Paul says where no law, there no transgression: Rom 4:15; And when no law, no sin imputed: Rom 5:13. So to blot out sin, thereby bring an end to death (since sin brings forth death: Jam 1:15), first bind and blot out the root source of sin: the law, the "strong man" ("strength of sin"), in order to spoil the hse of law: sin & death. For if we don't first bind, and also blot out law (the source and strength of sin and death), then later on such law <- law will spoil us instead. Such is called a "latter end worse", a "worse thing" than the dis-ease of law being the deadly "sting" of law imputed sin: 1Cor 15:56. That's why(?) JC said to the man healed he later found in the temple giving praise to law: "sin (law) no more, lest a worse thing come upon you" (Jn 5:14). Selah Americah.


Clarity of Charity #25: 1Peter 5:14
"Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity"


Many deceived by many themselves deceived still seem to perceive a holy kiss greeting mentioned and used by Paul The Apostle and a kiss of charity greeting mentioned and also used by converted Peter has something to do with ass kissing those above you on some law ladder that dead ends short of entering heaven, and lest they that are higher on such law law shit on you; When the Bible teaches a holy kiss of charity is totally up front and firstly pure "grace" unto "you" (all the KofG within you), not law law love from behind.

Such a holy kiss of charity (purity and maturity) is as from God our Father, as noted in the greetings of Pauline epistles: "Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ". So it's firstly pure grace unto you from God our Father, and then it's peace unto you from the Lord Jesus Christ. 1Peter 1:2 also uses "Grace unto you and (then) peace, be multiplied" upon noting such is from an apostle of "Jesus Christ" and mention of sanctification. For as James 3:17 notes, wisdom from above (Grace unto you ... from God our Father) is firstly pure, and then it's peace-able among seven things he notes stem from such purity and maturity, the last being "without hypocrisy".  And as James 3:15 notes the other wise is earthy, sensual, and devilish (law).

The interesting thing about 1Peter, as if the writing is coming from "converted" Peter, is he begins by noting he's an apostle of "Jesus Christ" writing unto, as he lastly notes, those that are in "Christ Jesus". Allegorically speaking it's as grace writing unto those in law, since CJ is reverse of JC, as law (<- BC) is accounted reverse of grace (AD ->), and CJ is end focused on J: "born under the law" whereas JC is end focused on C: "the end of the law"; With much biblical Pauline clarity eternal salvation is through J->C (the reverse being as eternal damnation). And going fwd or bwd through the cross is as going fwd or bwd unto the Saviour (Son of God) or the Destroyer (Son of Man), also as going fwd or bwd unto perfection (grace) or perdition (law). Also as if going fwd or bwd unto "peace" and not division or "division" and not peace.

Converted Peter begins with a holy kiss of charity greeting (Grace unto you), even though he mentions it last, as if to strengthen his brethren to do likewise to one another. Also interesting is his holy kiss of charity greeting: "grace unto you", is unto "you", whereas mention of the greeting: greet "ye" one another with a kiss of charity
, first speaks of all as "ye", then afterward peace to "you" all in CJ, which speaks of all first having it bwd. For he gives a ye/you (before/after) scenario in 1Pet 5:10, noting the God of all grace (no law at all) makes "you" perfect, stablished, strengthened, and settled after "ye" suffer. A similar ye/you scenrio is in John 8:32 "ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free"; and as if created/made by law/grace. So you made free, made perfect, is via knowing the truth, the God of all grace is the God of all.


Clarity about Charity #26: 2Peter 1:7
and to brotherly kindness (add) charity
as the seventh of seven things to add to your faith

Peter notes seven things to "add to your faith". Since "the law is not of faith" it's thereby as if topping up grace and truth (which came by Jesus Christ) with seven things. And the seventh of seven is charity. Interesting thing about the "Holy Bible" (that is the authorized KJV) is it is also the seventh of seven (for when looking in the translation guidlines there are five translations given to use when they agree better with the text than the Bishop's Bible, so then there's six acknowledged versions prior to the seventh of seven being made and called Holy Bible, or more commonly called King James Version). And notably such seventh of seven is not new, but rather said to be "a good one (the first six) made better (as seventh of seven)"; Just as God firstly saw only "good" x 6 and then "very good" (better) the seventh time looking in Genesis 1.

Peter also notes if these (seven things, seventh of seven being "charity" never fails instead of more faulty law love, witch often fails) be in you and abound, it makes you neither barren nor unfruitful, and notably in the knowledge of "our Lord Jesus Christ", which speaks of enduring to the end (conclusion) of Pauline epistles and of the Bible. For all Pauline epistles except Galatians open with "the Lord JC" and close with "our Lord JC", as does the Bible close with the grace of "our Lord JC" with you all. Since charity never fails, and charity is added as the seventh of seven, it speaks of our Lord JC's grace having virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness, and charity (spiritual purity and maturity, spiritual perfectness, spiritual sobriety). And as "our" Lord JC, it also speaks of that JC is come being the Lord of all.

Peter also notes he who lacketh these (seven) things (especially charity) is "blind" and cannot see afar off (can't see "the end" is "grace with you all"). Such a Mt 23 blind guide and even more the blind guide made proselyte by such who sat in Moses' seat... such blind leading the blind, have forgotten they are "purged" of old sins; Which speaks of no law = no sin, for if only law imputes sin: Rom 5:13, then purged of sin consciousness is as if purged of law. Or we could say those still adhering to law have not yet been weaned of law. Hebrew 5:14 calls such adult folk "babes" who still adhere to the milky way. Sadly many Christian adults aren't yet weaned of law. As if "children" and "servants" they still have to be told what to do-teronomy & don't-eronomy. Law was a schoolmaster witch failed every student, to bring us unto Christ: the end of the law; Which is to say bring us unto Spiritual Adulthood: Grace.


Clarity of Charity #27: 3John 1:6
Gaius is said to have "charity":
To Gaius... thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren,
and to strangers; which have borne witness of thy charity before the church

The Third Epistle Of John is more of a letter which killeth than an epistle when such is revelationed. For therein John flatters Gaius, who is notably one of the seven angels of the seven churches mentioned in Revelation, and talks of being vengeful; Also notes his opinion is that Demetrius (who spoke ill of Paul) had a good report, and notes we also bear record (speak ill of Paul). Nevertheless what is revealed in 3John is both brethren and strangers have borne witness of the "charity" (spiritual purity and maturity) of Gaius. And no doubt such "charity" is due to Gaius being a companion and friend of Paul. Yet John takes the glory for Gaius having charity. As for John, he neither opens nor closes his epistle with grace, the holy kiss of charity; but John does begin with mention of love and leaves the ending as implied fear mongering... as is common with law folk. Such is not the case with the God of all grace.


Clarity about Charity #28: Jude 1:12
Spots (laws), in feasts of charity (church services) leave many spotted;
But pure religion arrived undefiled & remained unspotted: James 1:27.
His "grace and truth" also paid a "visit" to the afflicted, not a ransom.

Jude's mention of "spots" is noted in Strong's Concordance as a rock in the sea, allegory(metaphor) for: men who by their conduct damage others morally. And it seems many of the ministers and elders of churches fit this description by adding law to God's grace, thereby spotting those made clean by His grace. Is it any wonder then the number of Out Of Church Christians is ever growing, and such people leaving such hypocrisy are growing in grace. For these aren't blind, rather see such law <- law only makes a latter end worse.

Looking at the margin reference to Jude's mention of feasts of charity, it references 1Cor 11:21 where Paul chastens carnal Corinthians for being drunken with law at the Lord's supper, and thereby guilty of his broken body and blood. For the point of the last supper seems to be to grace substitute bread and wine for the sacrificial lamb and bloodshed thereof law. For the will of God is: "I have mercy and not sacrifice" (allegory: I will have grace, not law), and JC (by whom came grace, not law: Jn 1:17; salvation, not condemnation: Jn 3:17) came to do the will of God (Heb 10), and said the work God gave him to do was "finished" even before the cross (Jn 17).

Looking at the wording in Jude it seems 2Peter 2 would even better apply as reference to Jude's mention of spots (laws) in charity feasts (church services) since it uses many of the same phrases and words as Jude. Converted Peter refers to such beguiling dogs as "cursed children" (law children) who promise liberty, but are themselves servants of corruption (law), and by them who draw back to law after being made clean by grace is a latter end worse.
 

Clarity of Charity #29: Revelation 2:19
I know "thy" works, and "charity", and...

Looking at John's "book" unto all seven angels of seven churches of Asia, which Paul patches into The Revelation(Uncovering) of St John The Divine, Pauline written Revelation as allegoric satire on John drawing back to law... Looking at Rev 2:19 thereof we not only find mention of "charity", but we find johnny law's like unto Son of Man claiming to be the Son of God saying he knows 'thy charity' to the angel of the church "in" Thyatira. Not that it really matters who(?) the angel of the church in Thyatira was, but didn't we just see the same mention of 'thy charity' in 3John's writing unto "Gaius", which could be a hint who the angel of the church in Thyatira was: Gaius.

What matters more than knowing such angel of the church in Thyratira was Gaius is knowing Gaius had witnessed charity to both brethren and strangers, and knowing johnny law was attempting to beguile him, both in 3John and in Revelation 2 & 3, where John flatters and accuses to corrupt from both ends, playing both ends of law <=> law against the midst (the KofG "within you") to seduce even the elect, if such were possible. And so the objective of having charity never faileth (a test) is being so aware of the wiles of devilish law that one cannot be beguiled, deceived, seduced, bewitched, tempted, cohersed, feared, suckered into adding "law worketh wrath" to "grace is sufficient".


See Clarity of Charity Page 7 for a summation about charity:
Charity never faileth any test, always gets 100% on every test.

Having charity, or not, is as having everything or "nothing":
