Exploring the Gospels - depart from me all ye workers of iniquity - Marcus Da Costa
Coming from above, Yeshua’s unique insight, is the testimony of a first hand witness of kingdom citizenry. His ministry, what he teaches, does, and commands his disciples to replicate, is that which he has first hand experience of, being the word, prior to becoming flesh. As a consequence, because man is carnal by nature, and therefore required to be born again to enter into the Kingdom, the journey of transformation is one for the elect, who were pre-knowingly designed to resist the world, and strive for spiritual citizenry of heaven.
