Frequently Asked Questions But isn't this Hosea 2:18 emphasis just one more attempt to bring people under the ministry of condemnation? No. It's all of the areas where they're not living consistently in one accord with the compassion of the Holy Spirit that's causing them to be subject to bondage and the ministry of condemnation. Christ came to set all of creation free from it's bondage to futility. Any area where your lifestyle is in resistance to that fullness of ministry to all of creation is an area where you've living an AntiChrist lifestyle: anti- the Anointed One, anti- the Anointing, and anti- the Eternal Purposes of God. The animals have just as much of an atonement [bought] right to
deliverance as you do. Because of what Christ has imputed to them [just
as He's imputed it to us] they don't deserve the ministry of
condemnation any more than you do! Every move against an animal's
well-being in thought, word, and action is part of the ministry of
condemnation and not a part of living in the righteousness and
reconciliation cycle. Every rejoicing in an animal's death for the
continued pleasures of your flesh is living a life that's criminally
against the Blood of Jesus Christ that's been shed in promise that
Christ would sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the
seed of both man and beast, according to Jeremiah 31. To be a part of
the "house of" a great family means that you would be made a part of
that family. In Jeremiah 31 you have the exact same kind of betrothal
agreement that was promised in Hosea 2:18-19 with the animals. So,
animals are, in a very real sense, Jews. I'm not arguing for a
replacement theology. I'm saying that animals are the 14th tribe of
Israel after the Gentiles who are the 13th tribe that was added to the
original 12. Go on to Martin, how
do you respond to someone who's read everything you've presented here
and while thinking that you've brought up some good and important points
is still inclined to think that all of this is irrelevant to their lives
because they believe Hosea 2:18 to be a part of the Gospel to the
Circumcision rather than a part of the Pauline Gospel to the Nations? |
