Biblical examples of a "double minded man"

"A double minded man is unstable in all his ways" (James 1:8).In other words, mine, anyone mixing grace + law is inconstant, fickle, restless, not at peace; as if being tossed to & fro, this way & that by winds(plural) of doctrine of men (plural) and waves of the sea of humanity. Such are unstable because two contrary things cannot co-exist in peace, rather only in a state of war till one of twain things is not only decisively better for some, but conclusively what's best for all as winner take all. Hence a person said to be bi-polar is biblically as double minded as those who oppose themselves (2Tim 2:25).

In the Scriptures we have examples of a doublemindead man. Abraham was called "Abraham, Abraham" in Gen 22:11, spoken of as being twain, divided against himself, when about to kill his son as a sacrifice unto law; a sacrifice which "the God" of Abraham, the "living God" of the living (Mt 22:32; Mk 12:26), that God, the only wise God, neither requested nor took any pleasure in (Ps 40:6; Heb 10:8).

Again in Ex 3:4 Moses was called "Moses, Moses" by God, denoting he's dblemindead, adding "law worketh wrath" to "grace is sufficient"; which turned out to be a "great terror" (Deut 34:12) to all the people of Israel; the law of terror-ist Moses Moses being so Horeb-bull it even made Moses exceedingly fear and quake (Heb 12).

It seems evident God & Son first divided things to denote they're as contrary as good "or" evil: Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; "or" else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by [his] fruit" (Mt 12:33). So concerning law and grace, which turns out to be law vs grace, it's either or, not both, for a mixture of contrary things is an oxymoron. As Shakespeare said, the quest i on is to be or not to be, existence or extinction, and a matter of life or death for all (not some only) if there is no respect of persons with God.

For if the kingdom of God, all thereof, is within "you", it matters to all therein what you say: For by thy words thou shalt be justified (grace), and by thy words thou shalt be condemned (law). The kingdom of God is within "you", not "ye", denoting it is one of twain, not twain. And if you be corrupt, it makes the whole kingdom corrupt; For "a little leaven leavens the whole lump". So if any be double minded, it affects all add versely (pun intended). Evidently it did. By Moses adding law to grace: death reigned, upon all.
 
It gets clearer in the New Testament example of "Simon, Simon" in Luke 22:31, with an explanation of why Jesus calls Peter "Simon, Simon", "behold, Satan hath desired [to have] you, that he may sift [you] as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren". Such indicates double minded Peter is not converted, still being twain, not yet one of twain. In another place (Mk 8:33) Jesus actually called him "Satan"; And in yet another (Mt 12: 36; Mk 3: 36) spoke of "Satan" as divided, "against himself", similar to how an oxymoron contradicts itself, and a hypocrite says one thing and does another, such as those who oppose themselves (2Tim 2:25).

After his conversion "Peter" refers to "the God of all grace" (1Pet 5:10), denoting "all grace" (no law) makes "you" perfect, strengthened, stablished, settled (stable). You is the after of the before and after shew, after "ye" (law law folk who do greatly err) have suffered awhile. In such a before & after shew "ye" was before (grace + law), "you" is after (all grace); and such are as contrary as imperfect and perfect, unstable and stable, unrest and rest, war and peace.

It gets even clearer in the example of "Saul, Saul" in Acts 9:4 where he denotes grace + law, law thereof, "persecutest" grace. After his conversion Paul says: "I do not frustrate the grace of God", indicating as Solomon did in Ecclesiastes: a grace + law mixture is all vanity and "vexation" (frustration) of spirit (grace + law is frustraing as hell to His grace).

Paul explains in Rom 11:16, when law added to grace it makes grace "no more grace". Rather it makes grace + law, an oxymoron, worse yet a life + death paradox having a dead end. Understandably such would frustrate God, who cannot die, because Grace cannot law, and because his immutable will is immutable x 2: I will have mercy (grace), and not sacrifice (law). For to do such would make God + unGod, the end thereof being suicide-all non-existence. In other words grace + law makes the God of all grace less than all grace, less than merciful, witch is less than peaceful: unstable ... a matter unsettled.

Speaking of a matter which still seems still unsettled today, and so l-o-n-g after Jesus Christ is come, divided twain (made grace + law into grace vs law), abolished one of twain (abolished the law of commandments), and thereby he "is" our "peace", is the matter of dblemindead "Jerusalem, Jerusalem" (Mt 23:37). Many Jews, Muslims, even many Humpty Dumpty Christians, are still erroneously praying (amiss) for, and $upporting, Jerusalem Jerusalem to be law law captial of the world. Worse yet, many ignorant Christians are also hoping for the rebuilding the temple and the return to sacrifice (an abomination of desolation), while claiming to be espoused to His grace. What a contradiction, not to mention such is spiritual adult-ery.

And many are still expecting a Messiah to come who's already come, as second and better of twain Adams, as the greater one, as the greater light rules the day, as the last Adam, as the Lord from heaven, sown in dishonor (born under law) and raised in glory in such a before/after shew of twain things. So concerning Jerusalems, and as if mothers of them and us, two alls, bond and free, but of twain only one mother and only her son is the heir.

Galatians 4 states Jerusalem which is "above" is "free", and is the mother of "us" all, which things are an allegory. As for the other mother and her son, cast out both as if casting out the law and the result of the law: sin and death. So when it comes to setting our affection on things "above", it ought to be where Christ: the end of the law is "seated", at the "right" hand of God (Col 3: 1-3); which "firstly" (Jam 3) speaks of "pure" wisdom from "above": "Grace unto you, from God our Father" by Paul,  his witness unto all men, and also of a decisive conclusion to a comparative this/that discussion about law/grace: "Grace with you all" and "Amen" to "that" only (Heb 13:25); Yet even more specific " the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ " with you all" and the last "Amen" to that only (Rev 22:21).

For the grace Noah found in the eyes (plural) of the LORD (Adam, Gen 4:1, who produced twain sons, one who killed his brother and one whose blood shed cried for vengeance)... such grace Noah found seems to have been grace + law, witch saved + destroyed him in Heb 11 (he died and rec'd not the promise). For Noah thought himself clever doing both all God commanded & all the LORD commanded, not realizing such were contrary commandments from contrary commanders. And such a mixture also left Moses with a dead end, as it did all those both saved + destroyed in Jude 5.

So if looking for a new Jerusalem, so drunk with law it descends (falls) out of heaven (Rev 21), perhaps such is the result of getting "carried away", as did Jews in Matthew 1:11, Gentiles in 1Cor 12:2, Barnabas in Gal 2:13, and John in Revelation 21:10, result of turning back to the "great" voice which spake with him from "behind" (Revelation 1:10). Come now, let us reason together, if anyone is in the Spirit (in him there is no sin), on the Lord's day, the only thing behind would be law; and perhaps such Horeb-bull (described in Heb 12: 18-21) was only a mtn of Piled high dung (Phil 3) that JC abolished from his flesh (Eph 2:15); as per the feedback of all them under such mtn: Dt 4: 11 ... who plainly said, about it: sh-it (Heb 12: 19).

If there were such a thing as pure law (thank God there isn't since grace always is because of God's immutable will), such would be frustrated by grace and truth coming, for law was destructive whereas grace is restorative. Grace coming after the law would also make law: no more law as law made grace no more grace.

The point is grace and law are two different things, as contrary as rest and unrest, right and left, come and depart, love and fear, blessing and cursing, which only mix to make an oxymoron such as life + death since law (a ministration of death in 2Cor 3) was "added" to grace in Gen 2: 16 + 17. And when such grace + law taken together it makes an oxymoron: every tree + not every tree = a contradiction, the end thereof being surely die.

Such is the LAWED-Grace of a LORD-God whereby law usurps grace in part one of the shew, but only for the sake of a shew, as a what if scenario, what if anyone added law to grace is sufficient. And because of such all die in part one of the shew, till one cannot be holden of death, and because he gives no place to law other than law being a counter part, the part of a shew to be done away (1Cor 13; 2Cor 3), abolished (Eph 2),  blotted out (Col 2), taken away in order to establish grace: Heb 10:9 "He taketh away the first (law, wrath, unrest) that he may establish the second (grace, mercy, peace)". Why? Heb 9 explains: the testator (law) must first die for the (new) testament (grace & truth thereof) to be of "force". Selah. 

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

Unpardonable Sin Mystery Explained
  Ghost-ly law: Unforgiven -vs- Spirit-ual grace: Forgiven.
God hath forgiven you (all within you) by abolition of law.
Ye are not under the law, but under grace, if led of the Spirit: Galatians 5.

The Parable of the Unpardonable Sin in Matthew 12; Mark 3; and Luke 12 seems to baffle many, who still frequently ask what is the unpardonable sin, and unfortunately still get a vague answer (Eg: FAQ at http://www.gospelogic.com/faqs.htm). Although the verses noted from Matthew, Mark, and Luke speak of "blasphemy the Ghost" and "blaspheme the Holy Ghost" as never being forgiveable, of never being forgiven in this world and the to come, those who do it being in danger of "eternal damnation"; Yet we also find "God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you", being past tense: already done, but not by "it is finished" in John 19, rather by the first "finished" in John 17, in the "verily verily" gospel according to John. So then, clarity is required to clear up the confusion of many. For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace. Peace comes by get it: understanding = grace glory in Proverbs 4.


Confusion about the Parable of the Unpardonable Sin is worse end by many Bible perversions
(American Standard Version; New American Standard Bible; English Standard Version; New King James Version; Holman Christian Standard Bible; New Living Translation; Revised Standard Version; New Revised Standard Version; Good News Translation; New Century Version; GOD'S WORD Version; World English Bible; The Message; Bible in Basic English; Darby Translation; Webster's Bible Translation; Young's Literal Translation; Weymouth NT; NIV; Today's NIV; New International Reader's Version), over 20 of the 26 Parallel Bibles,  changing "Holy Ghost" to 'Holy Spirit'; For Holy Ghost is merciless, but Holy Spirit is merciful.

Confusion seems to come by not understanding forgiveness by law was a mission impossible. For by the curse of the law in Do-teronomy & Don't-eronomy, if any tried but failed to keep all the law all the time, unto a thousand generations, then all were accursed, which is kinda like all unforgiven, or concluding all in unbelief, all sinners, none righteous, no, not one. God is one. So under the law, which demanded forgiveness of all tresspasses of all men in order to get forgiveness in return from the conditional God Father: Law, it was impossible for any to do such, since law cancels grace, forgivness thereof, and a little leaven leavens the whole lump. Not to mention nobody knows all the sins of all people of all time, to even forgive such. So the only plausible way to forgive all sins is to flush all law which imputes sin and also a death sting.


All who died under Moses' law, died "without mercy"; the point being law has no grace worketh mercy, and His grace has no law worketh wrath. And under the law, which also demanded perfection, it was impossible to be perfect, since law made NOTHING perfect (Heb 7:11), and law can NEVER make the comers thereunto perfect (Heb 10:1). And under the law it was impossible to attain any righteousness of the law (Romans 9:31), since there's no righteousness in law (such lefteousness) to be attained. For there's no "left" nor any "desolation" thereof at God's "right" hand where Christ is "seated" (at rest, matter settled), and notably higher than the heavens.

As JC said God said: either make the tree good or evil, grace or law, life or death, not both. Or as Shakespeare said, in saying: "to be or not to be, that is the question", it's not a matter of life + death, but rather life or death, grace or law, mercy or sacrifice, truth or lie, Spirit or Ghost, forgiven or unforgiven, all die or all live , happily ever "after", perhaps after we finish probating the will of God, see it's immutable x 2 . It's never both, for both an oxymoron, the mixing of contrary things, a paradox. And since grace always is, law the additive, when law was "added" to "grace is sufficient" it became as life + death (grace + law), and such was a dead end for "all" ... till JC, could not be holden of death, is come. And the reason he could not be holden of death was he gave no place to law other than as a counter part in a before and after shew, and to be "done away" or "abolished" after revealing what it was.

The tricky part was " evil concupiscence " of law , the "strength" of sin, the "strong man" of the house of sin, which used your own strength "against" you like a profesional wrestler does to an opponent. The law, which forbids things, creates an evil desire to do the very things forbidden, an overwhelming "evil" desire; and then condemns for doing it. It even prophetically accused you of breaching a law, and feared you with condemnation of "surely die" for such, which was tormenting. Many have tried to do and not do such things in good old Do-teronomy & Don't-eronomy.  The harder they strived, the more they failed, often secretly & ashamed whilst hypocritically forbidding & condmening others for it. Eg: Jimmy Swaggart.

Who hasn't blasphemed the Ghost, spoken against the law thereof, if simply to say it's not fair is blasphemy the Ghost? What teenager hasn't said it's not fair when a parent added law to grace, limitation to liberty, fear to love, wrath to mercy they've freely received of God hath forgiven you, and of all manner of sins & blasphemies? And by the law, if any do, or say such, all are accursed: unforgiven, in danger of eternal damnation; And for as l-o-n-g-suffering as beastial law "was, and is not, and yet is". For if law yet is, then eternal damnation yet is.

And sadly the "yet is" of beastial $tuff in Rev 17:8, and so l-o-n-g "now" after the cross, hereafter, is via adults & elders in our homes, schools, churches, gov'ts still speaking both blessing + cursing, even saying amen to those who do "sow" (2Pet 2:22; Mt 24:5; Lk 21:8), which "ought not so to be" (Jam 3). For if any be adult enough to willing say I do to His grace, and then found among those who are still adding law to "my grace is sufficient for thee", as hypocrites, fools, blind guides, and vipers were in Mt 23, such like would be as spiritual adult-ery. Unfortunately revival of the law, of the Ghost, is still common in churches. Ug!

It is no marvel (2Cor 11:15) then, fear is epidemic . But it is also high time for Freedom of fear hath torment as we look for and hasten unto the day(light) of "that God", knowing the Lord is now "that Spirit". And if the testimony of JC is: the "spirit" of prophecy (not the letter), as explained in Revelations, he's still "the same" Ghost buster of such a fearful time as this and that, which ought to be only that by "now" (Rom 8:1; 1Tim 1:17). For it is only a fearful thing to "fall", into the "hands" (plural) of the living God; but not fearful to be risen "with" and seated "together" at the "right" hand of God, where the man Christ, the end of the law, is seated. Hence, Col 3: 1,2,3 is simple as 1,2,3 when it comes to see-king. Please be seated, go poddy (Eph 2:15), join us, for Just Us, us being raised up the third day (Hos 6), as Ghost busters.

So, it reasons, to be rid of unpardonable sin, danger of a dead end thereof, fear thereof, torment thereof, we simply press the delete button on all law, hence also on such a Phantom Menace as the Holy Ghost, witch only had/has whatever authority or place or strength we give such a "shadow" of good things to come. JC gave up the ghost at Easter. So, be angry and sin not (law not) ... neither give place to the devil (Eph 4: walk worthy ... for Christ's sake). For even though two Holys in the shew, the Bible isn't called the Holy Holy Bible, but rather the Holy Bible, denoting one of two Holys is winner take all. Hint: God [is] a Spirit (not a Ghost).

As the boy said in Home Alone movie, and to the father/grandfather in the church pew scene: aren't "you" a little old to be afraid. Selah.
