Every Knee Shall Bow

It is so sad how "self" completely renders us as subjective. God says His people die from lack of knowledge. We try to filter through the Word subjectivity, which does not allow the Truth to change us but rather we try to change it to fit us. What God has done in me over the last four years is a direct result of my loss of self. It was when I accepted that Jesus IS the Word, that the Bible IS the infallible Word of God, and thee ONLY absolute in creation.

Matthew 24:35 NKJV

"Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away."

It was to make Jesus, the Word, my Lord and God. It was time to humble myself in complete submission before the living God. From that point forward ANYTHING that crosses the Word of God, the very creative power of the Universe, is rendered false and a lie. This is a necessary requirement to call Jesus Lord. To not do so is an oxymoron and a lie.

With this view the Word revealed so many things in me that were lies, and completely melted away all of the religious BS put there by being raised in a Christian environment. For the first time in my life, Jesus was really Lord. I take every single Word of the infallible Word of God to the bank, and throw every ounce of my being into it's trustworthiness.

Not only does the Word melt away and reveal all lies in my own heart, but also every other lie in all of creation. If there is anything that does not agree with the Bible, IT MUST FOLD IN SUBMISSION for EVERY KNEE WILL BOW TO HIM. All things must submit to the Word. If they don't, they are exposed for the lie that they are. This is how I evaluate every part of my life, through Jesus, my Lord, my God, and my Hope. He is my everything, and so my life should prove it. Regardless of how bad I want to believe a thing, if it opposes Him I must choose whom I will serve. If Jesus is my LORD, then by definition I must submit to the Word's authority over my life.

Either Jesus is who He says He is, or I am to fall flat on my face. All praise be to Him who makes me stand, for He promises we will not be ashamed. He will surely catch and lift up the ones whose trust is entirely in the Word, namely Jesus.

Either God is sovereign and THE MOST HIGH as the Bible says He is, which means that the Bible is EXACTLY the way a SOVEREIGN God desires it to be, or He is not the Almighty.

What do we choose to believe? God, or ourselves?

I read the lyrics to this song, and I am compelled to stand in the gap for truth.

If all of the "gods" were created, then where did they come from?

What if I dare propose this food for thought...

The God of the Bible is eternal. No beginning, and no end, by definition. In fact, the Jesus of the Bible is eternal.

John 8:58 NKJV

Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”

Revelation 1:8 NKJV

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

In the Bible the angels are created beings, and they are called "the sons of God".

Job 1:6 NKJV

Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord , and Satan also came among them.

To me it is plainly obvious that the God of the Bible is the eternal and great "I AM", and that the god of the Book of Mormon is not the same God. The God of the Bible, Jesus, is the source of all things that stands outside and above the gods of the Book of Mormon. That being said, the god of the Book of Mormon not being the Most High by definition, would be one of the created beings, one of "the sons of God".

Is this not logical reasoning based on the Word?
