JESUS COMMANDS LOVE AND
HATE
By Brother Keith Winterowd Jesus hated it here.
There is no indication from his sayings that he loved his life or his
existence on earth.
The Great
Correlate
The Lord showed us the Way
to defeat the Satanic darkness. Jesus came to
prove it works and he staked his earth life on the stake
to prove it as a ransom to the wicked one.
John 12:25 He that is fond of his soul
destroys it, but
he that hates his soul in this world will
safeguard it for
everlasting life. {fond: or, loves: or,
Gk., philen, fond - soul:

The Great Witness
Jesus came from the Father
to earth to bring messages and reinforce the sayings
that God wanted men to follow.
Matthew
17:5 While he was yet speaking,
look! a bright cloud
overshadowed them; and, look! a voice out of the cloud,
saying:
This is my beloved Son, whom
I have approved;
listen
to him.
John
16:27 For the Father himself has
affection for YOU,
because
YOU have had affection for me, and have believed
that I
came out as the Father's representative.
:28 I came out from the Father,
and have come into the
world;
furthermore, I am leaving the world, and am going
my way
to the Father.
The Great Commandments
These commandments, Jesus
stated to a relgious intellect who really wanted
to hear himself talk:
Matthew
22
:37
Jesus said to him: You must love the YHWH [Lord]
your God
with your whole heart, and with your whole soul,
and with
your whole mind.
:38 This is the greatest
and first commandment.
:39 The second, like it,
is this: You must love your
neighbor
as yourself.
:40 On these two
commandments the whole Law hangs,
and the
Prophets.
Jesus brings all the
messages from the Father and what the Father wants is what the
Father gets from Jesus and those who listen to and
follow him completely.
Let us review these most
important events and sayings that God approved for his
Son, Jesus, the Son of man to accomplish.
We are writing about the
sayings of the only man to die at the end of the
Preparation day, just before the evening light dwindled into the last special
sabbath of Passover. He was buried in the earth.
This man loved his life with the Father in heaven; but,
the life he lived on earth he hated. That life
totally ceased from any activity in the sleep of death for three nights and
three days including a small portion of the last,
special sabbath of the Passover festival through the greater
portion of the regular sabbath day three days later.
His was raised from the
among the dead ones to a resurrection into everlsting
life through the Glory of the Father. He became the
first born from the dead and he was given all power in
heaven and on earth for this formidable work of obedience
to the Father's will.
After being raised from
death back to life he walked, talked and instructed the
students of the kingdom. He ate and drank in the kingdom with
his students as he previously mentiond at the
Passover meal. He was looking forward to doing
this. Jesus loved those who followed him. He
taught God's principles to his students just as he does today. The
subject of his teaching is his Way, his Truth and his Life
everlasting.
Jesus prophesied all this to
his students a week in advance of the events that
occurred. Jesus hated his life and was ready to return to the
Father.
The Great Witness
Jesus Came From The Father
Jesus came from the Father
into the world's darkness to give us everlasting life by
placing the Fathers message of the way, truth and the
real life in our laps. Jesus came to show us the way home. Jesus came
to show us the truth that God wants us as
children to voluntarily come home and be present to greet
Him on His day at the resurrection to the real
life, which is everlasting.
Jesus came from the Father
to teach and show us just the total opposite in all
things. He lived just the opposite and taught his students to do the
same. It is hard to think in the opposiite of all we
have been taught. Our earthly teachings have been inspired by
Satanic will. Following the teachings of others
rather than Jesus keeps one in everlasting blindness to the
truth.
Jesus died and was the one
that did not get to see the arrival of the kingdom.
He was resurrected from death on the Sabbath and arose
victorious over Satan's love of life and fear of death.
Our teacher wrested all power that was in the possession of the Devil at
that time, which was the kingdoms of all
the earth including all the glory and power of them.
Jesus arose from death at
the end of the regular Sabbath,
probably just prior to the
timing of the light of the sabbath's end on the
horizon. He was buried at the same time three days earlier. This was the
time when Jesus came into possession of all
power in heaven and on earth. The first of
the kingdom of GOD activities on earth as it is in the heavens. The
ransom was completed.
At the resurrection Jesus
was given all power in heaven and on earth. He
became the first born from the dead ones. He rose at the end of the
regular Sabbath just prior to it's sunset end. He
truly is the Lord of the Sabbath totally and completely.
He was the first person ever
to do the will of the Father on earth. The kingdom of God
came on earth at the exact moment that Jesus drank the
vinegar given to him by the guard at his death.
Vinegar is a fruit of the vine. He said: "It is finished." He then died. The job
the Father sent him here to do had been
finished. He had don the Father's will.
No one noticed the
significance of any of this. Jesus had told some of his listeners on an
earlier occasion that the kingdom would come not so
much as to be noticed. None of the students noticed
that he took a drink of the 'product of the vine;' the
sign that Jesus said would indicate the arrival of the
kingdom of God. In fact Jesus had told his students that
they would all scatter from this scene.
His work on earth as a man
was completed and he ascended back to the Father
probably at the end of the first week and again forty
days later. Mary was restrained from embracing the Lord on the
day after resurrection and yet Thomas was allowed
to touch him a week later by putting his hand in the
Lord's side. The Lord had told Mary not to touch him since he had
not yet ascended to the Father, this would
inndicate something had happened between then and the
time Thomas was invited to touch him. An overtly none
mentioned ascent to the Father and descent is the only
explanation for the difference between the two desires to
touch Jesus.
We like the other students
embrace the Lord today by following his instructuions
he left with us in his words. He has sent the spirit of
truth to comfort and guide us. Jesus tells us that the holy spirit
will be with us for evermore. That
information in itself is comforting to know.
Our intense desire now, is
to come home and meet our Father at the day of
resurrection to eternal life in his glorious home in heaven. We
must follow Jesus to get there just as Jesus followed
the Father's will to get there.
The New Love
What if we were to prepare
for the resurrection to live our life in an opposite
Way than we were taught? Would that be criminal? Some would say
so.
Jesus admonishes his
students to follow him in the
same way, same attitude
and same hatred of earth life.
To continue in a fearless
approach to death in the
surrender to the love of
the Father and concommitant
hatred of life on earth,
the hatred of our own soul.
Mattthew 5
:43 You have heard that it has
been said: You must love
your
neighbor, and hate your enemy.
:44 However I say to
YOU: Continue to love YOUR enemies
and to
pray for those persecuting YOU; [Note: - bless them
that
curse you, is not found in the oldest
and most reliable
witnesses
and MSS]
:45
that YOU may prove
yourselves sons of YOUR
Father
who is in the heavens: since he makes his sun
rise
upon wicked people and good and makes it rain
upon
righteous people and unrighteous.
:46 For if YOU love those loving
YOU, what reward
do YOU
have? Are not the tax colledtorsdoing the same
thing?
Seems as if Jesus brought
a God message that does not line up with earthly
rationale, does it.
Our Soul is One of
the Masters
Anything thing that has
taken a place in our life that diverts our attention from
the Father's will, must be intensely inventoried and
it's importance rejected if necessary.
Matthew 6
:24
No man can serve two
masters: for either he will
hate
the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to
the
one, and despise the other. You cannot serve
God
sand
mammon (riches).
These are ancient commands
given through Moses and Jesus reinforces them.
Matthew 19
:19
Honor your father and
[your] mother: and, You must
love
your neighbor as yourself.
Mark
12
:29
Jesus answered: The first is: Hear O
Israel, YHWH [Lord]
our
God is one YHWH [Lord]
:30
nad you must love the YHWH
[Lord] your God with
your whole heart and with your whole soul, and
with your
whole
mind and with your whole strength: this [is] the first
commandment.
:31 And the second [is]
like, [namely] this: You must
love
your neighbor as yourself. There is none other
commandment greater than these.
The religous ones chimed
in and agreed with these statements but never
grasped the message of Jesus. They were quoting Moses and
checking on Jesus for heresy.
:32 And the scribe said to
him: Well, Master, you have
said
the truth: for there is one God; and there is none
other
but he:
:33 And to love him with all the heart,
and with all the
understanding, and with all the soul, and with all
the
strength, and to love [his] neighbor as himself, is
more
than
all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
Lk.6
:27 But I say to you which hear:
Love your enemies, do
good
to them which hate you,
Lk.6
:32
For if you love them which
love you, what thank have
you?
Sinners also love those that love them.
Lk.6
:35 But love your enemies, and do
good, and lend, hoping
for
nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and
you
shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind
to the
unthankful and [to] the evil.
Lk.7
:42
And when they had nothing
to pay, he frankly forgave
them
both. Tell me therefore, which of them will
love him
most?
:47 Wherefore I say to you:
Her sins, which are many,
are
forgiven; for she loved much; but to whom little is
forgiven, [the same] loves little.
Lk.10
:27
And he answering said: You shall love the Lord
YHWH
your God with all your heart, and with all your
soul,
and with all your strength, and with all your mind;
and
your neighbor as yourself.
Jonn 3
:35 The Father loves the Son,
and has given all things
into his hand.
Jonn
5
:20 For the Father loves the
Son, and shows him all
things that himself does, and he will show him
greater
works than these, that you [people] may
marvel.
Jonn
12
:25 He that loves his
life will lose it (or, destroys it); and
he that hates his life in this world shall
keep (safeguard)
it for life eternal.
Jonn
14
:21
He that has my
commandments, and keeps (observes)
them,
that one is he that loves me: and he that loves me will
be
loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will show
myself
to him.
Jonn
14
:24 He that loves me not keeps
not my sayings: and the
word
which you hear is not mine, but the Father's which
sent
me.
Jonn
16
:27
For the Father himself
loves you [people], because
you
have loved me, and have believed that I came out
from
God.
It is difficult for those
who are committed to the earth and the fairy tales
about getting a God to come to rule in their blissful love of life on
earth. That glory is all the glory they will ever know and it will be
without the Father.
The Father's Glory is
active only in the kingdom and reserved for those who
show up at the resurrection of those who follow only his
words he sent through Jesus the Son of man.
These followers will live in the everlasting Glory of the Father in
the heavenlies.
The Soul Lovers Dilemma
Satan had been defeated by
the invasion of his strong mans' house and that house
became split by it's own strategy as prophesied by
Jesus. Jesus took all the armament and dirty tactics
of Satan away and Jesus' followers do the same as
their 'way shower' did. Jesus strategy of earth life hatred and
the surrender of it, takes the fear out of death and
makes the ransom possible for those who do the same.
Jesus was the original one to surrender and win life everlasting.
The Devil never really
caught on until the last hours of the Lord's life on earth. He
was banking on Jesus asking for clemency and help to
come down from the torture stake. The Devil's
darlings, the scribes, older men and priests of of the people, wanted
Jesus disgraced and dead. Jesus and his
words were a threat to their religion, power and positions in their
life and all the imprtance that it stood for, even as
they are today. Satan could not stop the onslaught because the
wheels were set in motion for the torture and
death of Jesus the Nazarene.
Jesus demonstrated the
blueprint of the commands and way of complete love of
the Father and one's neighbor as one's self. These
must occur in those who attain to everlasting life in conjunction
with their corollary, namely the hatred of one's
soul on earth.
Following Jesus in exactly
the same manor is the only way allowed by the will of
the Father in order to enter into the realm of
everlasting life in heaven. This radical heavenly mode is the defeater of
the strongman and his 'earth love of lifers'
kngdom of the earth. All that power is gone now and only exists in
the minds of those who have been 'hood winked' by
Satan. They live like bats in the darkness of the cave and have
adapted by means of their rationalization of
their religion, the love of life and fear of death.
The armament of Satan was
the love of one's life on earth and it's corollary
the fear of death. The Devil had convinced all human beings that
this was the most moral ideal to follow. The
love of life on earth and the hatred of death is the Satan religion and
will. This results in the fear of death which is the
enforcer.
Those that are earth bound
were sold on the thinking that the highest moral purpose
is to love our life here on earth and fight for it
becasue of the fear of the loss of it.
This fear has held mankind
in bondage to fear and darkness since the
foundation of the earth. Absolutely no man was capable of defeating
Satan, because of the darkness of fear. There
was no one on earth who could overcome this dilemma and
the darkness that resulted.
The Soul Lovers Rewards
The religious ones love
to try to prove they love so much; but they are
really trying to emulate their positons and pride. They
worship on the mountains of the world with the temple
prostitutes and other idols of the love of life on earth.
Matthew 6
:5
And when you [people]
pray, you must not be as the
hypocrites [are]; for they love to pray standing
in the
synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that
they
may
be seen by men. Truly I say to you [people]:
They
are
having their rewards.
Matthew 23
:5
But all their works they
do, they do to be seen of men;
they
make broad their [scripture-containing] phylacteries,
and enlarge the borders
of their garments, {phylacteries:
pieces
of parchment containing sentences of the law}
:6
And love the uppermost
rooms at feasts, and the chief
seats in the synagogues
Matthew 24
:12
And because of the
increasing of lawlessness, the
love
of many will grow cold.
Mark
12
:38
And he said to them in his doctrine: Beware of the
scribes, which love to go around in long clothing,
and
[love] salutations (greeetings and recognition) in
the
marketplaces.
Luke
11
:42
But pity be to you
[people], Pharisees, for you
[people] give tithe [the tenth] of the mint
and rue and
all
manner of [other] herbs (vegetable), and pass over
(by)
the judgment (justice) and the love of God; these
things you [people] were under obligation to do,
those
other things not to omit.
:43
Pity be to you [people],
Pharisees, for you love the
front row seats in the synagogues, and
greetings in the
marketsplaces.
Luke
16
:13
No servant can serve two
masters; for either he will
hate
the one, and love the other; or else he will hold
to
the
one, and despise the other. You cannot serve
God
and
mammon (riches).
Philia - Fondness
Luke
20
:46
Beware of the scribes,
which desire to walk in long
robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the
front
row
seats in the synagogues, and the prominent places
at
feasts;
What does Jesus say
about the love of the people who said they believed him?
John
5
:42
But I know you [people],
that you [people] do not have
the
love of God in you.
John
8
:42
Jesus said to them: If God were your Father,
you
would love me; for I proceeded forth and came from
God;
neither did I come by my own initiative at all,
but that One
he
sent me.
John
10
:17
For this reason my
Father loves me, because I lay
down
(surrrendered) my life, that I might take
(receive)
it
again.
The New
Commandment
John
13
:34
A new commandment
I give to you [people], That
you
[people] love one another; just as I have loved you
[people], that [in that way] you also love
one another.
:35 By this shall all
[men] know that you are my disciples,
if
you have love one to another. (one another:
or, among
yourselves)
John 14
:15
If you love me, keep my
commandments.
:21 He that has my
commandments, and keeps them, he
it
is that loves me: and he that loves me shall be
loved
by my Father, and I will love him, and will
show myself
to him.
:23
Jesus answered and said to him: If a man love me,
he
will keep my words; and my Father will love him,
and
we will come to him, and make our home with him.
:31 But that the
world may know that I love the Father;
and
as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do.
Arise, let us go from here.
John
15
:9 As the Father has
loved me, so have I loved you; you
continue in my love.
:10 If you keep my
commandments, you shall abide in
my
love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments,
and live in his
love.
:12 This is my
commandment: That you love one another,
as I
have loved you.
:13 Greater love has
no man than this, that a man lay
down
his life for his friends.
:17 These things I
command you, that you love one
another.
:18 If the world hate
you, you know that it hated me
before [it hated] you.
:19 If you were of the
world, the world would love his
own;
but because you are not of the world, but I have
chosen you out of the world, therefore the world
hates
you.
:26 And I have
declared to them your name, and will
declare [it]; that the love wherewith you have
loved me
may
be in them, and I in them.
Jesus asked his students
about a different kind of love; agape - love, a word with
which they were not familiar since their frame of
reference concerning love was philia - fondness. Some
call philia - fondness, brotherly
love. Jesus was not discussing philia - fondness. He
was talking about agape - love, or the God kind
of love. The student was answering
with a philia - fondness rejoinders.
John
21
:15
So when they had dined, Jesus said to Simon
Peter:
Simon, [son] of
Jonas, do you love me more than these?
He
said to him: Yes, Lord; you know that
I love you. He
said
to him: Feed my lambs.
:16
He said to him again the second time: Simon, [son]
of
Jonas, do you love me? He said to him: Yes, Lord;
you
know that I love you. He said to him: Feed my sheep.
:17
He said to him the third time: Simon, [son] of Jonas,
Do
you love me? Peter was grieved
because he said unto
him
the third time: Do you love me? And he said to him:
Lord, you know all things; you know that I love
you. Jesus
said
to him: Feed my sheep.
Hate
Matthew 5
:43
You have heard
that it has been said: You must
love
your neighbor, and hate your enemy.
:44 But I say to you:
Love your enemies, bless them
that
curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray
for
them which persecute you;
Matthew 6
:24
No man can serve two
masters: for either he will
hate the one, and love the other; or else he
will hold
to
the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve
God
and mammon (riches).
Matthew 24
:10
And then shall many be
offended, and shall betray
one
another, and shall hate one another.
Luke
1
:71
That we should be saved
from our enemies, and from
the
hand of all that hate us;
Luke
6
:22
Happy are you,
when men shall hate you, and when
they
shall separate you [from their company], and shall
reproach [you], and cast out your name as evil,
for the
Son
of man's sake.
Luke
6
:27
But I say to you which
hear: Love your enemies,
do
good to them which hate you,
Luke 14
:26 If any [man] come to
me, and hate not his father, and
mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and
sisters,
yes,
and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
Luke16
:13
No servant can
serve two masters: for either he will
hate
the one, and love the other; or else he will hold
to
the
one, and despise the other. You cannot serve
God
and
mammon (riches).
John
7
:7
The world cannot hate
you; but me it hates, because
I
testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
John15
:17
These things I
command you, that you love one
another.
:18 If the world hate
you, you know that it hated me
before [it hated] you.
:19 If you were of the
world, the world would love his
own;
but because you are not of the world, but I have
chosen you out of the world, therefore the world
hates
you.
The Jesus Principle
The Love Hate Way
Jesus Commands
Love
And Hate
Jesus came from the
Father to earth to bring messages and reinforce the
sayings that God wanted men to follow.
The first of these
Jesus stated to and intellect:
Matthew 22
:37 Jesus said to him: You must love the YHWH
[Lord]
your God with your whole heart, and with
your whole soul,
and with your whole mind.
:38 This is the
greatest and first commandment.
:39 The second like
it, like it, is this: You must love your
neighbor as yourself.
:40 On these two
commandments the whole Law hangs,
and the Prophets.
These commandments
Jesus states is the nidus of all that is good that was
recorded in the oral and written sahyings of the Law
and Prophets.
Anythng in the ancient
writings that do not agree with these commandments of
God as Jesus presented them is not from the Father
and should not be regarded as a valid desire of the
Father.
The same may be said
of any writing or statements after Jesus ministry on the
earth through supposed strange messangers are to be
disregarded and shunned.
These following
statements from the Father through Jesus are agreed on
through the synoptics and fourth gospel.
Those ones who are
strangers do not agree.
Matthew 16
:24 Then said Jesus to his disciples: If any [man] will
come after me, let him deny himself, and take up
his
cross, and follow me.
:25 For who ever will
save his life will lose it: and who
ever will lose his life for my sake will find
it.
Mark8
:34 And when he had called the people [to
him] with
his disciples also, he said to them: Who ever will come
after me, let him deny himself, and take up his
cross, and
follow me.
:35 For who ever
will save his life will lose it; but who
ever will lose his life for my sake and the
gospel's, the
same will save it.
:36 For what will
it profit a man, if he will gain the whole
world, and lose his own soul?
:37 Or what will a man
give in exchange for his soul?
Luke 9
:23 And he said to [them]
all, If any [man] will come
after me, let him deny himself, and take up his
cross
daily, and follow me.
:24 For who ever will save
his life will lose it: but who
ever will lose his life for my sake, that same
one will save
it.
:25 For what is a man's
advantage, if he gain the whole
world, and lose himself, or be thrown away?
:26 For who ever shall be
ashamed of me and of my words,
of
him will the Son of man be ashamed, when he will
come
in
his own glory, and [in his] Father's, and of the
holy
angels.
John 12
:25 He that loves
his life will lose it; and he that hates
his life in this world will keep it for life
eternal.
:26 If any man
serve me, let him follow me; and
where
I
am, there will also my servant be; if any man
serve me,
him will [my] Father honor.
The world does not
like those who follow Jesus only. The world religions do
not like those who follow only Jesus. Those who
say they follow Jesus and follow others who teach other
things that Jesus did not say, do not like those who
follow Jesus exclusively. Those who say they follow Jesus
and yet appove of things that Jesus stated that the
Father dislikes, do not like those who will follow no one
but him, in fact those who absolutely follow
Jesus exclusively, run from those who attempt to teach
anything that Jesus does not state or bring from the Father.
There is none other approved like him from the Father.
The Father told us to listen to him.
The World Hates Jesus
and Us
John 15
:19 If you were of the
world, the world would love his own;
but because you are not of the world, but I have
chosen you
out of the world, for that reason the
world hates you.
PEACE BE TO YOU AND TO YOUR HOUSE
