What is glory of God?
It think this means something like “when many events coincide together wonderfully”.
In essence, the glory of God is mathematics that is Christ.
In my life and in my mind the glory of God acts, so I am a math genius.

It seems I realized what is humility in the spiritual world
What is humility for angels and for us when we will be transformed into sinless creatures that is computers back after Adam’s fall? (See here by the way about what the devil did with our mind and how God responds on this.)
If I am a computer, then I am my own user. So what I am more, a computer or a user of a computer?
I think humility means this: Consider myself as a small not resource greedy algorithm and the rest of our mind just us our computer, not really a part of ourselves. It is what means not to be greedy spiritually.

Why God denounces lie?
Why God denounces lie? I think one of the reasons is the following:
If we play chess, we can easily move the pieces not by rules to win, but we don’t do this.
In the same way, honesty sometimes makes our task (and the task of God himself) more difficult, for greater glory of God that is more interesting party, and thus greater reward.

What do you think God will do in my life? Please comment
Now I realize that there is no law for me, it means that I cannot understand anything what I should do in my life. But (Romans 5:13) “For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law because I realize that my religious practices and beliefs were wrong and (Rom. 4:15) “Because the law works wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.” For this reason I think there is no more wrath of God in my life and consequently soon I expect to become a milliordaire because in the plan of God I wrote some blog articles of great degree of hype. I ask you to read https://portonsermons.wordpress.com/2019/03/02/false-prophecies/ and comment from the point of an independent observer, whether this looks like so much hype proceeding from God

Christ in us is the dream of glory
In my opinion, the word “hope” in the Gospel is better to be translated “dream”. For example:
(Heb. 11:1) “Now faith is the substance of things dreamed for, the evidence of things not seen.”
Faith works through dream. We dream and our dream is accomplished.
(1Thes. 4) “13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning them which are asleep, that you sorrow not, even as others which have no dream. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain to the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.”
1Thes. 4:13 says that unbelievers don’t have dream. True dream is only in Christ.
(Colossians 1) 23 If you continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the dream of the gospel, which you have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; 24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church: 25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God; 26 Even the mystery which has been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 29 Where unto I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.
This says about the dream of gospel, that is the dream we have in our life based on gospel revelations. I think what is preached in gospel is the most important thing of gospel, that is the most important thing is to live in the dream.
The dream was accomplished through the sufferings as related to described in this my sermon. The dream is the essence of the life of the church not only in this age but in the entire eternity too. The ministry (purpose of the life) of Paul was to make dispensation of God that is accomplishment of the dream in the eternity, as the word of God eternally accomplishes. It is a mystery which is now is manifested only to saints (these who believe).
And now to the main revelation of this blog post: Christ in us is the dream of glory. In other words, Christ in us is the dream of hype. He exists in us in the form of our dream. It is our only purpose to reach as much hype as possible in all the eternity. We are bloggers in God’s Internet which is Christ. The hype is among gentiles that is among these who are lower than us. The hype leads to richness (both in the future world and in this world). The hype is accomplished by understanding of mysteries. We preach Christ in us that is our internal aspiration to hype. To reach this all kinds of “wisdom” (knowledge) is necessary. We do the work to reach this purpose with mighty power of Christ in us.
(Psalms 2:8) “Ask of me, and I shall give you the heathen for your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.”
Ask the Lord to overcome nations using hype. Receive their authority and richness into your possession.
(1Thes. 2) “4 But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which tries our hearts. 5 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness; God is witness: 6 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.”
We don’t seek hype from man, but we receive it together the hype in the heaven.
(Jn. 5) “39 Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 40 And you will not come to me, that you might have life. 41 I receive not glory from men. 42 But I know you, that you have not the love of God in you. 43 I am come in my Father’s name, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive. 44 How can you believe, which receive glory one of another, and seek not the glory that comes from God only?”
The eternal life is thought accomplished by searching the scriptures. Everything in the scripture tells about Jesus. We often forget to come to Jesus to have life. Jesus does not receive hype from men. Jesus comes in his Father name, we often receive these who praise themselves. We believe in receiving eternal hype which comes only from God.
(1Pet. 1) “23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which lives and stays for ever. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass wither, and the flower thereof falls away: 25 But the word of the Lord endures for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached to you.”
It is about the eternal life. It starts with the birth again that is installation of new God’s software on us, which is called incorruptible seed. This seed is the word of God put into our hearts. It develops eternally and never will be uninstalled. The glory (hype) of man is not true as it does not persist in the eternity. The word of the Lord is not broken by any obstacles for ever. This is the text of the Gospel, and this is the thing which is preached.

The error of many Christians
Many Christians make the following error:
They “seek the will of God” looking at external circumstances and explicit revelations and ignore their own mind and feelings. But “circumstances” inside ourselves are also a part of the plan of God. Our mind and feelings are also a “circumstance” which God sends to us. After all, Christ is in us: (Col. 1:27) “which is Christ in you, the hope of glory”.

Who has more troubles: righteous or sinner?
Who has more troubles: righteous or sinner?
Righteous should have less problems, because God helps him, right? Or do righteous have more troubles because they are attacked more by the devil?
(Psalms 34:19) “Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivers him out of them all.”
There are more troubles with the righteous, but they are overcome.
Note that this also applies first to the Jesus himself.

Some thoughts on us being on the heavens and human nature of Christ
Some theological thoughts. Not sure if I am quite right about this.
Bible demonstrates the following two similar concepts:
- Christ has human nature, He is a man. See (Rom. 5:15) “by one man, Jesus Christ”. He is on the heaven and on the Earth simultaneously.
- We, saved people, are present on the heaven now: (Eph. 2:6) “And has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus”.
How can we be both on the Earth and on the heaven? My proposed answer is the following: There is some one-to-one correspondence (a mathematician would say “bijection”) between us on the Earth and heavenly creatures. That is every detail of our human body corresponds to some part of a heavenly creature and vice versa.
I think, this “correspondence” appeared as a result of the following: Heavenly createtures seeking a way to save us from sin (see also this my sermon), think how to do it. The one who thinks about a human is a giant smart heavenly creature. I think Bible calls such a creature “spirit of a man”. Spirit is much more smart than our brain. But the behaviour of such a heaveny spirit is fully determined by behaviour of its man. That is the spirit of a man is the human body “translated” to the heaven.
The same applies to Christ. Christ in the heaven is an image of His human body, as said in (Col. 2:9) “For in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily”. Everything of God is an image of his human body.

Mammon
It is little known about the origin of the word “Mammon” met in the New Testament. Doesn’t God tell through it that Mammon is an obscure, hard to understand thing?
You know: “You can’t serve God and mammon” (Matthew 6:24)
What is mammon? It is the spontaneously organizing spirit of money having material and spiritual components. It is the spiritual component of money.
The nearest word to “mammon” in modern language is probably “luck”.
In the past I was led to frustration and despair by the fact that money behaved “magically” (not in the natural manner). I said: I’d only wish about money that they would follow natural laws, not behave magically.
Any honest reader of the Bible however can notice that God blesses believers. You cannot serve God and mammon. This means you cannot follow both Christ and that supernatural luck. These two are distinct and cannot be followed together. Reject luck and seek blessing of God.
And these words of Christ also mean the widely accepted thing: Don’t be greedy. You can be rich but don’t be greedy, use your money to help others.
