Unless the grain of wheat
dies and is buried in the
ground, it cannot bear fruit.In Moshiach, you
are that grain of wheat, dead to self but alive to Hashem in Moshiach,
buried in the fertile soil of the selfless histalkus of the Zoon Foon Der
Oybershter, so that you too might bear much fruit for Hashem. "Unless you
hate your life in this
world you will not possess eternal life" (Yn
12:25). "You should put away your old self of your former way of living,
corrupted through deceitful desires and
be renewed in the spirit of
your minds and put on the new self created in G-d's way…" (Eph.
4:22f).
An American secret agent with the German plans for the atomic bomb
in his WWII briefcase must walk guardedly. And even a believer with the "new self" has a "Hitler"
saboteur within called the "flesh." In Hitler there was no good thing, and in my flesh there is no
good thing (Ro 7:18). (Blindly true to form, not agreeing with the Tanakh [Kohelet 7:29:
7:20; Yeshayah 53:6] on the Biblical Chet Kadmon’s yetzer harah of the fallen human condition) you say, "Wait a minute. The 'flesh' isn't that bad, and even
Hitler loved his dog." No, you are wrong. His dog became nothing more to him than a
laboratory animal for testing suicide pills, and your flesh is the "bite down" point for the
Evil Lion, who wants to devour you, to capture you in order that you would do his will and bring
reproach on the Holy One and His Holy Ministry. Do you think Satan wants the Jewish people
of the world to read the Yiddish NT in our bible society spiritual warfare briefcase? Why do you think we have to plead the blood over our
minds 24/7 and pray in tongues continually? Flee from temptation and despise your flesh, even the appearance of evil, even the
undergarment stained by the flesh. Hate the devil and his Satanic world. Fear G-d and trust Jude 24.
Original sin was and is glorifying Self
("ye shall be as g-ds," Gen 3:5), and not giving G-d his due. Those that miss
Moshiach and the new self of regeneration (Col 3:10) did so because they were
too in love with the old self (Col 3:9), which is called "philautia" (excessive self-love,
Greek). Let's look at what the Scriptures say about self-seeking or self-centered
self-exaltation.
Selfishness is considered a virtue in many modern pulpits,
where often people are told that G-d wants them to advance in their own interest, in
their own power or happiness. That self-superior ancient aberration of Biblical faith called
Gnosticism also exalted self-satisfaction and self-knowledge. But like selfish Cain,
Balaam, and Korah, these Gnostic pseudo-believers were reprobate and castaway. So, like
the true believers that the Gnostics scorn, we must cast down every imagination. We must
not seek to obtain that we might "consume it upon our lusts" (Ya 4:3).
We know something the Gnostics do not know: the Word is not propagated apart from
sacrifice. The seed of the Word is choked by gross materialism and Mammon-worship.
Our model is the Moshiach, who though he was rich, did not serve Self but Others, and,
for their sake became poor (2C 8:9). King Saul, on the other hand, fell afoul of the L-rd
because his greed led him to repeat the sin of Achan (compare 1Sm 15:13-23 to Josh chp 7).
All who would be rich should seek the true "gain." What is that? The true gain is to come
to Moshiach and be found in him and to gain Moshiach (Phil 1:21). This is true gain as opposed to
"base gain" or as opposed to "getting gain" (Ya 4:13). See warnings for the man of G-d at Tit 1:11 and 1Ti 3:8 and
1K5:2. You say, "What about loving the neighbor AS the Self?"
Reply: we are talking about inordinate self-love. What causes a forfeiture of the soul is not self-preservation but a mirage
that excites hope but disappoints it in the end. Mt 16:26.
The repentant
ganav (Lk 23:41) was
finished with and hated
his old life. His old thieving ways he now despised. He hated his life
in this world, the life of a thief. Burglary he now renounced. Pick-pocket
artful dodging he now loathed. He hated his former life in this world. He
was truly sorry for his sins, all his transgressions of the Eighth Commandment and
had turned away from this evil, hating even the
garment spotted with this sin. So likewise you, hate your old life
wherein Hashem and the Bar Enosh and the Ruach Hakodesh--Adonai Echad--did
not have first place (Devarim 5:6) and the FIRST
COMMANDMENT was transgressed by you. So likewise you, hate your old life
wherein your life was corrupted by idols and (Devarim 5:7) the SECOND
COMMANDMENT was transgressed by you. So likewise you, hate your old life
wherein your tongue was a world of evil and cursing and "Yuska" blasphemy and (Devarim 5:11) and the
THIRD COMMANDMENT was transgressed by you. So likewise you, hate your old
life wherein Shabbos was not shomer according to the Scriptures as we see in (Devarim 5:12) and the
FOURTH COMMANDMENT was transgressed by you. So likewise you, hate your old
life wherein parents were not honored according to (Devarim 5:16) and the
FIFTH COMMANDMENT was transgressed by you. So likewise you, hate your old
life wherein your heart harbored murderous hatred and enmity and malice
according to (Devarim
5:17) and the SIXTH COMMANDMENT was transgressed by you. So likewise
you, hate your old life wherein your heart cherished imaginations of
infidelity and faithlessness according to (Devarim 5:18) and the
SEVENTH COMMANDMENT was transgressed by you. So likewise you, hate your
old life wherein you indulged in dissembling and deceit and lying
according to (Devarim
5:20) and the NINTH COMMANDMENT was transgressed by you. So likewise
you, hate your old life wherein your heart was surfeited with jealousy and
covetousness and envy according to (Devarim 5:21) and the
TENTH COMMANDMENT was transgressed by you. Yes, hate your old life wherein
your wickedness brought on yourself and your family generational curses
which necessitated the yisurim (sufferings,
torments) of Moshiach
Goeleinu.
The Scripture tells us what
to hate. It also tells us what to love. When
the definitive presentation of salvation and of escaping eternal doom is
presented, the word that gets the most attention is "grace" or "unmerited
favor resulting in mercy." The need for grace or "chesed" from on High
becomes evident when we see the depravity of the human condition, that
mankind is like a sleepwalker in such a profound stupor of ungodly
darkness and blindness that it can only be that the whole human race
participates in the downward fall of a primeval rebellion. This is Chet
Kadmon, an all-pervasive human condition shared from the Fall in the
Beginning, just as we as human beings all share the old depraved self we
have from the Beginning, an old self that is unregenerate, blind, proud,
rebellious, sin-enslaved and subsequently doomed to an unavoidable
consequence: death's eternal spiritual separation from G-d. But even in
Romans chapter 5, the subject is grace, the grace of G-d, the abundance of
grace, the free gift of grace, and G-d's gift of righteousness in which we
stand, having been declared innocent already by the L-rd of the Last
Judgment and having obtained access to this grace by faith through the
grace of the one man Moshiach Adoneinu. However, this grace is not cheap;
for repentance cannot be discounted. Therefore, the self-satisfied sinner
cannot continue self-seeking and mocking a loving, forgiving, merciful G-d,
thinking, "As I sin even more, I make His Grace abound!" Or "Let's do evil
things so that G-d will make good come of it!" Never! The reason is that
grace is the kindness of G-d. And the kindness of G-d is meant to lead the
sinner from self-seeking to repentance, a real repentance that is inward
and spiritual and results in walking in love and forgiveness and not
rebelliously living for the old depraved self. The forgiven sinner cannot
therefore turn from a life of humble faith in order to fall back into
pride and boasting against unbelievers, even Jewish unbelievers; because
the forgiven sinner himself stands before G-d only through the continuing
repentance of saving faith. And this saving faith knows itself freed from
sin's enslavement only in continuing repentance under the kindness and
grace of G-d.
