“But ye [ALL of you] are a CHOSEN [Gk: 'Select; implication favorite:--chosen, elect'] generation, a ROYAL [KINGDOM] priesthood, an HOLY nation [a holy KINGDOM], a peculiar [SPECIAL] people; that ye [ALL of you] should show forth the praises of Him [God the Father OF LIGHT] who hath CALLED YOU OUT OF DARKNESS INTO HIS MARVELOUS LIGHT [THE HOLY OF HOLIES]: which in time past were NOT a people, but are NOW the people of God: which had NOT obtained mercy [grace and truth—the New Covenant], but NOW have obtained mercy.” (1st Peter 2:9-10).

 

“And before Him [Jesus Christ] shall be gathered ALL nations: and He shall SEPARATE [Gk: 'To set off by boundary, i.e. (figuratively) limit, exclude, appoint, etc--divide, separate, sever'] them one from another, as a shepherd DIVIDETH his sheep [LIGHT] from the goats [DARKNESS]: and he shall set the sheep [LIGHT] on His right hand, but the goats [DARKNESS] on the left.” (Matthew 25:32-33).

 

“Gather ye [All of you angels] together first the tares [DARKNESS], and bind them in bundles to burn them [WITH THE LIGHT OR FIRE]: but gather the wheat [FIRE] into My barn.” (Matthew 13:30).

 

This chapter doesn’t have to be long at all! I can keep this really short and right to the point.  BUT … but, I have some bonus information that will help you at the end of this chapter move forward in your calling.

 

YOU (artist of God) were called OUT of this dark world into Christ who IS Light just as His Father, YOUR Father. You are no longer darkness. Now I have to tread lightly with this message because there is a concept that we call balance doctrine or systematic theology; what the theologians call it.

 

What is systematic theology?

 

Answer: “Systematic” refers to something being put into a system. Systematic theology is, therefore, the division of theology into systems that explain its various areas. For example, many books of the Bible give information about the angels. No one book gives all the information about the angels. Systematic theology takes all the information about angels from all the books of the Bible and organizes it into a system called angelology. That is what systematic theology is all about—organizing the teachings of the Bible into categorical systems.

 

Though I like this definition the best out of all the ones I have read, it is incomplete. It is more then the above definition. I don’t like to use theological terms to describe the “simplicity that is in Christ” (2nd Corinthians 11:3), because it tends to make it more complicated and “religious.” So I just like calling it a more simple term like “balanced doctrine.”

 

I like to define “balanced doctrine” as “Ricardo’s way of making sure the Scriptures that ‘seem’ like contradictions proven that they do not contradict.” And I do this because I do not believe that God is fickle, nor does He contradict Himself.
The reason why I explained all this is because the way that I am going to teach or present this message might seem to contradict. And that is only because there is not enough space here for me to explain everything. I’ve already said that I want to keep this chapter short and sweet, with the exception of the bonus information at the end.
