The Man (person) of Sin

…11 For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false,
12 in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.

Who R U ?? Part 1
** Most of us know ourself in the normal present day world - but few have come to realize that this ends and your eternal {soul or heart} spirit will live on... So the question we all must answer is who are we really?
While we all exist in this earthly body; our actual essence is not often known or understood...
Why you may ask?
Because first it is imperative to understand that we are free agents - who can and must make decisions about our actions then learn to control our thoughts and feelings. Because we are responsible for them and it is the duty of each of us to become the best person we can... Yet many fail to take the initiative - by following many evil divisive elements of the world .
Understanding this divine principle - let's get the ground rules straight...
This earthly life requires that we learn and develop certain traits which should build our character! While there are many who will tell you that it is you reputation and notoriety that defines you - this is a partial truth, at best... Your reputation is only the outward appearance as to who seem or appear to others - but it does not always represent the true you! Your Character is who you are when no one else is around! The true you!
How can this be - you may ask??
First you must come to realize who you truly are?
You descended through a long chain of created beings - going back the the original man Adam and woman Eve... While the present world view may say differently - the real truth (if you seek it) presents the only true picture that supports this fact of creation!
Science is attempting to answer all our questions - yet it often brings up more questions than results...
Science 1. the systematic study of the nature and behaviour of the material and physical universe, based on observation, experiment, and measurement, and the formulation of laws to describe these facts in general terms
**[1300–50; Middle English < Middle French < Latin scientia knowledge =scient-, s. of sciēns,present participle of scīre to know + -ia -ia]
Since science is the seeking of knowledge; then if one uses it in a forward and sincere manner - it can be an great aid to finding truth... Yet not all scientific endeavors have followed their original methodology - by getting involved in political, economic, religious and to a certain extent even evil purpose mainly in the name of profit - money or fame and control mechanisms and systems... This is the road taken by many sciences; more so in the past 100 years... Therefore it has become a system to be reckoned with since much of what it preaches is not actual hard fact truth!
It is always sad when the truth is often perverted by science persons who are out to prove a point that they either made or else following some dead end principles which continue to confuse and lead people astray... This is also true in the political and religious arena as well...
=========================================================
** Therefore there needs be a logical search apart from the normal world's system limited facts -
this requires a deep committed spiritual seeking...
Starting with what we know from scripture and Holy works...
You a combination of three (3) parts:
1) Body - which you occupy and is sensed by other corporeal beings here upon the earth...
2) Soul - is the incorporeal and, immortal essence of a living being.
{ This includes your emotions, heart of hearts, your mind and where your being is visualized}
3) Spirit - Which is not seen, it connects with God thru Yeshua - Jesus Christ; and it is bound for eternity!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To truly become your own person (self) in the matter of life - you must seriously be able to run your life, in a positive manner which requires that - first the most important thing is to understand that you must love your self before you can ever learn to love others! The essence of Love comes directly from our Heavenly Father - who is Love; so we live Him because He first lived us (you)...
If you can not use your own mind for self guidance; then most if not all of your other endeavors will fail ...
You must come to know yourself - and put your limits in order to be able to control your desires!
Unless a person learns how and when and where to control their desires or emotions their life will be a whirlwind of many uncontrolled futile actives with mostly unsatisfactory results...
We will expand this line of thought for those who care to improve their life!
Stop back soon...
** Continued later stop back as we help define who you really are in eternity!
