Noah Websters 1828; American Dictionary of the English Language, defines Wisdom 1. The right use or exercise of knowledge; the choice of laudable ends, and of the best means to accomplish them.   This is Wisdom in act, effect, or practice.   If Wisdom is to be considered as a faculty of the mind, it is the faculty of discerning or judging what is most just, proper, and useful, and if is to be considered as an acquirement, it is the knowledge and use of what is best, most just, most proper, most conducive to prosperity or happiness.   Wisdom in the first sense, or practical Wisdom, is nearly synonymous with discretion.   It differs somewhat from prudence, in this respect; prudence is the exercise of sound judgment in avoiding evils; Wisdom is the exercise of sound judgment either in avoiding evils or attempting good.   Prudence then is a species, of which Wisdom is the genus.  Ex.  “Wisdom gained by experience, is of inestimable value “. Scott.    “It is hoped that our rulers will act with dignity and wisdom; that they will yield every thing to reason, and refuse every thing to force “. Ames.

5. In Scripture theology, wisdom is true religion; godliness; piety; the knowledge of God, and sincere and uniform obedience to His commands. This is the Wisdom which is from above. Ps. xc, Job xxviii. (NW1828:ADof the EL defines~ Theology: Divinity; the science of God and divine things; or the science which teaches the existence, character and attributes of God, His laws and government, the doctrines we are to believe, and duties we are to practice. Theology consists of two branches, natural and revealed. Natural theology is the knowledge we have of God from His Works, by the Light of nature and reason. Revealed theology is that which is to be learned only from revelation.)(Science 1. In a general sense, knowledge, or certain knowledge; the comprehension or understanding of Truth or facts by the mind. Ex. The science of God must be perfect.)(Heart 3. The chief part; the vital part; the vigorous or efficacious part. Bacon. 4. The seat of the affections and passions, as of love, joy, grief, enmity, courage, pleasure, & c. Ex. The heart is deceitful above all things. Every imagination of the thoughts of the heart is evil continually. We read of an honest and good heart, and an evil heart of unbelief, a willing heart, a heavy heart, sorrow of heart, a hard heart, a proud heart, a pure heart. The heart faints in adversity, or under discouragement, that is, courage fails; the heart is deceived, enlarged, reproved, lifted up,fixed, established, moved &c. Scripture. (While there appears to be controversial aspects, as contradictions implied as to the nature and purpose of the heart; one must understand the difference between the natural man and the regenerated man, as in the born again man, having left the natural man behind; as the two states are incompatible. M. of A. N. , the Pearldropper)

6.  Profitable words or doctrine.  Ps.37  The wisdom of this world, mere human erudition; or the carnal policy of men, their craft and artifices in promoting their temporal interests; called also fleshly wisdom.  1Cor.2, 2Cor.1. The wisdom of words, artificial or affected eloquence; or learning displayed in teaching.  1Cor. 1&2

I have come to know a man; whom I count as a friend, though as of yet we have found little time to share together, though we agree that we both desire to be better connected♡   In conversation he has said that he perceives me to be wise; well, Beauty, as well as wisdom, is in the eye of the beholder; the one whose eye of attention allows him to truly perceive what he is beholding, which remains a mystery from the world’s perspective ♡   Because, the world’s perspective comes from the limited ability to see only from a narrow focus of attention, as in, it can’t see the forest for the trees, being content to miss the big picture, as though it is irrelevant ♡   One example of worldly wisdom thinking: would be, first, define the object of my desire, second, focus on seeking it out, third, do whatever it takes to aquire the object and forth, enjoy the pleasure of having obtained, however superficial and temporary the pleasure remains, and fifth, define the object of my next desire, ect. ect., and ect.; without bothering to count the cost of a worldly wisdom approach ●

In Sincere Love, Michael ♡♡♡

The meaning of Truth is an age old question offered by the world of men and remains undefined to the satisfaction of masses as though there is no standard available, however, the standard is available to all who remain unblinded and able to hear and distinguish between the Truth and the lie; those willing to accept the standard that was established from the beginning of mankind’s existence in the world ♡

The Truth is not hidden from those who choose to believe God to be the Creator of all that exist; both seen and unseen by the perception that God has given to His Creation of His active role in maintaining and  preserving His Creation according to His Will, because God has chosen to reveal Himself through His Word and the Animating Power of His Spirit ♡

The option is given to all of God’s Creation to decide to believe God or not; to live in subjection to the Laws that preserve  harmony with His Will or exist in opposition to the Expressed Will of God; for mankind the right to choose is given, with one exception; none have the right not to choose ♡

The following is in response to the question which was presented  to me, when you say the Truth what are you talking about?   I will take the time to give the context in which the question was asked, as context is always important ♡

I had commented on a post on Facebook made by a classmate which I will refer to as C1 and it brought about a question from another classmate who I will refer to as C2♡

C1: “Make love no not war”

Ellisited my response:  C1, you sound like an old hippie and they came close to the mind of Christ; they were close because they lacked a full un understanding of the rules of true Love and without that understanding all fall sh short of the Glory of God ♡♡♡

I am not finding fault; they did the best they could in the dark times of opinion; however, it is being given once again the opportunity for Enlightenment, the indwelling Light of Truth and all who seek and find it will come to the Gathering of Kindred Spirits that I speak of, just sayin’ because it’s true ♡♡♡

It is a waste of time to argue with the modern day pharisees of the world who speak condescendingly to those who seek the Light, while they use the Old Testament to justify the riches promised by the preachers of the prosperity gospel; which is opposed to Gospel of the Christ♡♡♡

They reject the New Covenant that the Word of Truth calls men to, while they reject God’s desire for His Creation, they are blind leaders of the blind on the path to destruction and only the Truth which they reject can save them, just sayin’ because it’s true ♡♡♡

So we must focus our efforts on becoming fully enlightened by the Truth and abandoning all opinions, so that we become mature examples of what it means to be children of God; those who serve Him in Spirit and Truth according to the example that the Christ has shown, the Word of God revealed in Him, just sayin’ because it’s true ♡♡♡

In Sincere Love, Michael

C1, gave me a thumbs up, to which I responded: Thanks C1, I’m doing my best to serve♡♡♡ In the debate between C1 and C2, C2 commented to me; Michael A. Neel, I’m curious, when you say the Truth what are you talking about? I responded with some difficulties explained as follows: C2, apparently the rulers of Facebook prefer that you not receive my answer to your question, I have begun my response three times and each time I experienced a auto reset not initiated by me which forced me to begin again, so I will take a different approach, bear with me and you will have my response ♡♡♡

I shall begin this the 25th day of November in the year Two Thousand Twenty One @ 13:15, after a short pause♡♡♡

@13:52 I, as a called, prepared, and chosen to serve, Pastor and Teacher (a job description not a title: a description of my purpose in the Body of Christ, one of many members all of equal importance), I am encouraged by the curiosity of those who sincerely seek to know the Truth ♡ Nicodemus, a man steeped in the religion of his people, a pharisee, came to the Christ whose given name was Jesus, out of curiosity because of things he had heard about Him ♡ As a result, he exchanged the opinions of his religion for Faith in the Truth, that Light that came into the world to enlighten all of mankind willing and prepared to receive Him, just sayin’ because it’s true ♡♡♡

In response to the question asked of me, when I say the Truth, what am I talking about? I will begin by stating that God is the source of all Truth and the god of the world is the source of all that opposes the Truth, which is the lie and opinion is the instrument that obscures the lie, rendering it palatable to all who remain ignorant of the Truth♡ For those who have been deceived into believing that their peculiar religion, by whatever men decide to identify themselves with, is sufficient protection against the god of the world, the deceiver of mankind; in the end must come to realize that they were the victim of their own nativity because they failed to seek and receive the Truth witnessed to and revealed through Christ, the Word of God, just sayin’ because it’s true ♡

As God is the source of Truth to all who come to Faith, God has chosen to reveal Himself in three aspects, the Father who speaks, the Word which is spoken and the Spirit of Truth which animates, gives Life to all that receive it and in relation to mankind He directs the words they speak and the actions they undertake to act righteously in accordance with God’s Will in spite of the influences of the world, just sayin’ because it’s true ♡♡♡

So God is the Creator of all that is seen and unseen by the perception that God gives individuals among mankind in order to perceive Truth; for God is Truth, the Word is Truth and the Word is Spirit and God is One and is in perfect harmony in every aspect, just sayin’ because it’s true ♡

To be in harmony with God, by willingly being in subjection to the Christ, the Word of God; is to be delivered from the confusion created by the god of the world and those confused who remain subject to him in the world, just sayin’ because it’s true ♡♡♡

(KJV) It is written that Jesus said when tempted by the devil, “man shall not live by bread alone(the physical loaf of bread), but by ever every Word that proceeds out of the Mouth of God(the Spiritual Bread that came from the Father, down from Heaven, the Christ, the Bread of Life). As Jesus proclaimed, “Verily, Verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven. But my Father giveth you the true bread from Heaven. For the bread of God is He which cometh down from Heaven, and giveth life unto the world “. And again He said, “I am the Bread of Life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst”, just sayin’ because it’s true♡♡♡

Again it is written: “All scripture is given by inspiration of God (God breathed), and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works”. Again, “Moreover I will endeavor that ye may be able after my decease to have these things in remembrance. For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His Majesty. For He received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to Him from the Excellent Glory, this is My Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him. And this Voice which came from Heaven we heard, when we were with Him in the Holy Mount. We have also a more sure Word of Prophecy; and whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a Light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the Day Star arise in your hearts: knowing this first, that no Prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation. For the Prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (animated by the Holy Spirit)”. Just sayin’ because it’s true ♡♡♡ Again it is written: “Little children, it is the Last Time: and ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the Last Time”. Just sayin’ because it’s true ♡♡♡

While the purveyors of religion and those who follow their pernicious ways; argue over their personal/private interpretation of the Word of God only the Truth remains constant ♡ Religion has never and can never, lay for it’s followers the foundation that produces enduring Faith which will withstand the trials of this world; that are intended to test our Faith♡ True Faith alone can resist the doubt that would destroy it♡ Just sayin’ because it’s true ♡♡♡

However, when all is said and done: the Truth is that which prepares mankind for the Great Day of God’s Judgment and this is the standard by which all will be judged for it is written: “But when the Son of Man shall come in His Glory, and all the angels with Him, then shall He sit on the Throne of His Glory: and before Him shall be gathered all the nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as the Shepherd separates the Sheep from the goats; and He shall set the Sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on His right hand, Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry, and ye gave Me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave Me drink; I was a Stranger, and ye took Me in; naked, and ye clothed Me; I was sick, and ye visited Me; I was in prison, and ye came unto Me. Then the Righteous answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed Thee? Or athirst, and gave Thee drink? And when a Stranger,and took Thee in? Or naked, and clothed Thee? And when saw we Thee sick, or in prison, and came unto Thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye did it unto one of My Brethren, even the least, ye did it unto Me “. Now His Brethren are among the called to righteousness, the oppressed and persecuted by the world just as He said they would be; but if you are among those who turn away from such you are unwilling to know, how can you expect to be among the Righteous while you deny those you are called by the Lord to serve? Certainly a question worthy of consideration!

For those who truly desire to serve the Lord; the world supplies ample opportunity; we have only to respond to avoid the risk of being asked: “Why do you call Me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things that I say “? Just sayin’ because it’s true ♡♡♡

As my calling is that of a Pastor and Teacher: I call for the Gathering of Kindred Spirits, to come to partake of our Daily Bread together, beginning in Matthew and progressing on to the last Word of the Book of Revalation at a pace that supports understanding, so we may truly live by every Word that proceeds out of the Mouth of God, just sayin’ because it’s true ♡♡♡

Though I am called to serve all who come, it’s up to the individual to believe me or not, which is a matter of Faith after all, just sayin’ because it’s true ♡ it was my hope that I might answer C2’s question, as well as all who may have been wondering about the same thing, in a way that proves helpful ♡

In Sincere Love, Michael ♡♡♡ 11/25/2021@21:02

P.S., I would appreciate any feedback on what I have been given to share, as your time permits♡♡♡

I am just “Michael” and I know who I am and the purpose of my being, just sayin’ because it’s true ♡♡♡

♡ I’ll hope to have more to say about this soon ♡ “Michael” of “Allen’ Neel 7/1/2021 @ 21:31

My intention is to enlighten those who are curious; as to the important differences between the religious, those who have been drawn to a particular religion to inform themselves as to how to live their lives and those who put their Faith only in the revealed Word of God to construct the foundation that serves to guide them into a life pleasing or acceptable to their Creator, the Almighty God ♡  Who is the faithful rewarder of all who diligently seek to know and willingly serve His Purpose ♡   You might say; those who wish to understand what it means to Live, as opposed to merely existing ♡   I had mentioned my first exposure to a religious and pious preacher and in spite of him I benefitted from the experience ♡   When he read scripture, the Word touched me, while his explanations of how it was to influence my life, based on his experiences and how it affected his conduct in the world, failed to ring true ♡   For example: he read from the third chapter of Ezekiel one Sunday and what he read changed my understanding of my responsibility Forever, very powerful, so I am compelled to share ♡♡♡

From Ezekiel 3:16~21(NASV): Now it came about at the end of seven days that the Word of the Lord came to me saying, “Son of man, I have appointed you a watchman to the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word from My Mouth, warn them from Me.”  “When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die’; and you do not warn him or speak out to warn the wicked from his wicked way that he may live, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand.  “Yet if you have warned the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered yourself.   “Again, when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I place an obstacle before him, he shall die; since you have not warned him, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand.   “However, if you have warned the righteous man that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; and you have delivered yourself. “

Now if I recall correctly,he skipped the first verse, however I counted it as important ♡   I understood; that if a man knows God’s standard for the righteous and witnesses one failing to meet it, that he has a responsibility to attempt to correct him in his error; whether he is willing to be corrected or not, whether he is ignorant of his error or not, and there are consequences for failing to meet your responsibility to that man, just sayin’ because it’s true ♡♡♡   However, there is a different standard that applies to the man who understands what God requires of the righteous and has been faithful if he chooses to turn back to willfully sin, God will visit the consequences of his choice on him, an obstacle as it were, who had once chosen the right way and lost sight of the consequences ♡   So it is the responsibility of those who have come to realize the standard God has set for the righteous, to keep one another on the path♡  I have yet to witness any religion that makes this clear, yet God’s Word has made it clear from the beginning ♡   Christ did not change the standard,  He came to provide the teaching and example of how we are to. Fulfill it, just sayin’ because it’s true ♡♡♡   For those who may think that correcting the pious, very religious man is less difficult than it is I offer this: Ezekiel 3:4~11  Then He said to me,”Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak with My Words to them.   “For you are not being sent to a people of unintelligible speech or difficult language, but to the house of Israel, nor to many peoples of unintelligible speech or difficult language,  whose words you cannot understand.   But I have sent you to them who Should listen to you; yet the house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you, since they are not willing to listen to Me.   Surely the whole house of Israel is stubborn and obstinate.   “Behold, I have made your face as hard as their faces, and your forehead as hard as their foreheads. “Like emery harder than flint I have made your forehead. Do not be afraid of them or be dismayed before them, though they are a rebellious house.” Moreover, Son of man, take into your heart all My Words which I shall speak to you, and listen closely. “And go to the exiles, to sons of your people, and speak to them and tell them, whether they listen or not, ‘Thus says the Lord God. ‘ ” For those who may think that being apart of any of the various religions of our present age, are different in any way from the ones Ezekiel was sent to instruct, I can say without the slightest doubt, you are operating under a delusion, just sayin’ because it’s true ♡♡♡ From that Sunday on I was devoted to gain my understanding of God’s standard of righteousness, commit to becoming subject to it and encouraging others to do the same ♡ In my case, it turned out to be a forty year quest, having to listen very closely, not slow just taking great care to avoid being distracted, so it goes♡ For those who promote that the standard has changed or the Way was too difficult, I submit this: Hebrews 10:26 (NASV) For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the Truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain terrifying expectation of judgment, and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES. While some may say “ignorance of the law is no excuse “, it is clear that with God, ignorance is the only excuse; while once the Light of Truth is made available once again to refuse the opportunity to receive it will leave those who are unwilling with no excuse, just sayin’ because it’s true ♡♡♡

I believe that is sufficient for all who wish to ponder what I am led to offer, so with that I will end Chapter 2♡♡♡ Have a truly blessed day and every day hereafter ♡ In Sincere Love, “Michael” of “Allen” Neel; called, prepared and chosen to serve, Pastor and Teacher ♡♡♡
