Below are the some of the scriptures that Dr. R. Brown addressed during his lecture. PLIM members can view entire lecture on Dropbox.
Romans 1:19- 20 “19 Because that which may be known of Elohim (God) is manifest in them; for Elohim (God) hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:”
Carnal mind can only see the flesh, spiritual mind sees the things of the spirit. Rom. 8 is describing two states of consciousness. The Christian ministers didn't address this and didn't go to the law and prophets.
Yahshua spoke to the masses and His disciples in parables that they didn't understand and Peter said don't speak to us in parables speak clearly.
Matthew 13:10-11 KJV “And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.”
Explained unity of the spirit.
John 4:24, Yahweh Spirit. “24 Yahweh is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”
Romans 8:1, Carnal mind can't understand, spiritual principles. It is walking after the flesh and not after the spirit. Spiritual mind can see and understand that water baptism points to spiritual baptism and physically eating Lord suppers points to communion with the spirit within.
Genesis 1:1, darkness is divided from light. "1 In the beginning Elohim (God) created the heaven and the earth."
Genesis 3:6 “And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.”
Light and darkness day, and night equals two states of mind.
When Adam disobeyed the law, his mind was darkened.
Genesis 3:7, Adam’s eyes were open to the flesh and closed to the spirit after the transgression.
Gen. 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.”
Gen. 3:10 “And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.”
Adam and Eve had to cloth themselves before Yahweh and hide their nakedness.
Gen. 3:12-14 12 “And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. 13 And Yahweh Elohim (the Lord God) said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. 14 And Yahweh Elohim (the Lord God) said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:”
Yahweh cursed Satan's carnal mind.
Lucifer exalted himself in heaven due to his carnal mind.
Isaiah 14:12 “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of Elohim (God): I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.”
Genesis 3:17 “17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;”
Yahweh cursed the ground as a reflect of the carnal mind. It could only bring forth thorns and thistles.
Transgression of the law of Yahweh equals death, darkness, and ignorance.
A mother can give her child AIDS at birth, just like the carnal mind was passed upon all men by Adam and Eve.
Rom. 5:12 “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:”
Mankind was under that curse for 4000 years.
Genesis 3:17 “And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;”
Adam harkened to his wife who was deceived which was a type of Israel.
The Messiah said I come not to be ministered onto but to minister.
Matthew 20:28 KJV “even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.”
Genesis 3:17 the ground reflected, Adam’s carnal mind.
They are like two bodies: spiritual and carnal. Must be translated to the spiritual.
When Adam lost his heavenly estate, Yahweh waited until the cool of the day to drive him out of the garden.
Adam didn't have both a carnal and spiritual mind in the garden. First, he was in the light where he was spiritual minded, and then he sinned, and became carnal minded and in darkness. That’s when ‘Michael had to kick him out of the garden.
A deep sleep came on to Abraham
Genesis 15:12 “And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.”
People in class think they can be Spiritual and Carnal at the same time. No, just like you can’t be dead and alive at the same time.
Rom. 8
Peter preached into the Gentiles, Acts 10th Chapter
John 14:26 “26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”
Acts 10: 44 Peter was astonished when the Gentiles received the Holy Spirit
Acts 10: 44-45 “44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
Exodus 10:21-22 “21 And Yahweh (the Lord) said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt. 22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:”
The kingdom of Yahweh is not geographical, but you have the Holy Spirit in your heart and mind.
Jeremiah 4:23 23 "I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light."
Jeremiah is looking back at the beginning he beheld the Earth in darkness without Form and void.
Yahweh divided darkness from Light as he did in Egypt.
Genesis 1:1, darkness is divided from light. “1 In the beginning Elohim (God) created the heaven and the earth.”
Light equals illumination
Y. Manning asked a question:
So is that why when we FAST We have a Xloser Relationship with God?
Yahshua the Messiah fasted for 40 days and nights and fulfilled fasting.
Matt. 4:1-2 “4 Then was Yahshua (Jesus) led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.”
We are fasting from carnal ordinances, abstaining from carnal things
Dr. Donald Brown added: Fasting naturally allows the body to abstain from food and cleanses toxins from the system. Fasting makes you feel euphoric, as if you’ve achieved nirvana.
Metaphysically, you should be fasting from the doctrines of Mystery Babylon who want us to believe lies of the system, such as Covid-19 vaccines are safe, the monetary system is sound, gold & silver are relics, etc.
Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees discernment comes from within, fasting from lies.
Matthew 16:1-4, “The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. 2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. 3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? 4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.”
Matthew 16:5-8, The Messiah was not talking about physical bread.
Matthew 16:5-8 “5 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. 6 Then Yahshua (Jesus) said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. 7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread. 8 Which when Yahshua (Jesus) perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?”
The Messiah was telling them don’t believe the doctrine
Matthew 16:12 “Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.”
Dr. Robert Brown continued.
Exodus 14:20 “And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.”
2 states of mind
Israel in light, Pharaoh in Darkness.
John 8:12, Nicodemus came by night because he was in darkness to Yahshua the messiah the light.
John 8:12 KJV “Then spake Yahshua (Jesus) again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
John 3:1-4 KJV “There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: the same came to Yahshua (Jesus) by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from Elohim (God): for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except Elohim (God) be with him. Yahshua (Jesus) answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of Elohim (God). Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?”
The carnal mind only understands the flesh. Yahshua size walking after the spirit.
Blood, water, spirit, 40 describes a natural birth
Romans 8:1-2, 6-8
Paul said he couldn’t speak to them spiritually because they were carnal
1 Corinthians 3:1 “3 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in the Messiah (Christ).”
Rom. 8:14-15 ’14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of Yahweh, they are the sons of Yahweh. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.”
Scribes & Pharisees didn’t believe this and told the Jews they should still keep the Law of Moses after the Messiah’s death, burial, and resurrection. Stephen was stoned to death for preaching the truth and Paul held his coat.
Acts 7: 57-60 “57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, 58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul. 59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon Elohim (God), and saying, master Yahshua (Lord Jesus) , receive my spirit. 60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Yahweh (Lord), lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.”
When the scriptures talk about the stars falling from heaven, they are referring to the Scribes & Pharisees because the people looked unto them as stars. On the Day of Pentecost those stars fell from heaven because the Apostles received the Holy Spirit and outshone the Scribes & Pharisees. They were as fallen angels who appeared as angels of light.
2 Cor. 11:13-14 13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Isaiah 40:4 “Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:”
Valley exalted = disciples
Mountains & hills made low = Scribes & Pharisees
Peter, James & John were fisherman. They couldn’t be compared to doctors and lawyers.
On the day of Pentecost, Isa. 40:4 was fulfilled.
Colossians 2:8-10, 14-17, you are complete in him, you only have to lean on him.
“Colossians 2:8-10, 14-17, 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the supernal nature (Godhead) bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: … 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. 18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,”
Since we are complete in him, what is there for us to do? There are no works to do under the New Covenant, we only have to come learn of him. The Gentiles were never given the law.
Jews couldn’t keep the law. If child was supposed to be circumsized on the 8th day, but it fell on a Sabbath, do you circumsize your son or keep the Sabbath.
Matt. 11:28-30 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
The truth Versus doctrine of the Scribes and Pharisees
The Gentiles who have not the law, do the things contained in the law. They are the law unto themselves.
Romans 2:14 “For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:”
The Gentiles read the scriptures and think they should follow the Mosaic law as did the Jews, but the Gentiles were never given the law and were grafted in when Peter preached at Cornelius house 7 years after the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
Christians teach you should follow the law or they beguile the Gentiles from receiving their reward.
1 Thess. 5:1-5 “1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of Yahweh (the Lord) so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.”
Body of light equals Israel in the day Body of darkness equals Israel in the night

Elohim Text, Vol. IV, p. 110
"THE NATURAL MAN,
“The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of Yahweh: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Corinthians 2:14).
(a) Here it is plain that by “the natural man” is not meant a person devoid of natural judgment, reason, or conscience, in which sense the expression is often used among men. (b) Nor does it signify one who is entirely governed by his fleshly appetites, or what the world calls a voluptuary, or sensualist.
(c) Neither does it signify merely a man in the rude state of nature, whose faculties have not been cultivated by learning and study, and polished by an intercourse with society.
The Apostle manifestly takes his “natural man” from among such as the world holds in the highest repute for their natural parts, their learning and their religion. He selects him from among the philosophers of Greece, who sought after wisdom, and from among the Jewish Scribes, who were instructed in the revealed law of Yahweh (1 Corinthians 1:22-23). These are the persons whom he terms the wise, the scribes, the disputers of this world — men to whom the gospel was a stumbling-block and foolishness (1 Corinthians 1:20-23). The natural man is here evidently opposed to “him that is spiritual” (1 Corinthians 2:15), even as the natural body which we derive from Adam is opposed to the spiritual body which believest will receive from The Messiah at the Revelation of Yahshua The Messiah from Heaven (1 Corinthians 15:44-45)."

Explained unity of the spirit.
John 4:24, Yahweh Spirit. “24 Yahweh is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”
Romans 8:1, Carnal mind can't understand, spiritual principles. It is walking after the flesh and not after the spirit. Spiritual mind can see and understand that water baptism points to spiritual baptism and physically eating Lord suppers points to communion with the spirit within.
Genesis 1:1, darkness is divided from light. "1 In the beginning Elohim (God) created the heaven and the earth."
Genesis 3:6 “And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.”
Light and darkness day, and night equals two states of mind.
When Adam disobeyed the law, his mind was darkened.
Genesis 3:7, Adam’s eyes were open to the flesh and closed to the spirit after the transgression.
Gen. 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.”
Gen. 3:10 “And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.”
Adam and Eve had to cloth themselves before Yahweh and hide their nakedness.
Gen. 3:12-14 12 “And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. 13 And Yahweh Elohim (the Lord God) said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. 14 And Yahweh Elohim (the Lord God) said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:”
Yahweh cursed Satan's carnal mind.
Lucifer exalted himself in heaven due to his carnal mind.
Isaiah 14:12 “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of Elohim (God): I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.”
Genesis 3:17 “17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;”
Yahweh cursed the ground as a reflect of the carnal mind. It could only bring forth thorns and thistles.
Transgression of the law of Yahweh equals death, darkness, and ignorance.
A mother can give her child AIDS at birth, just like the carnal mind was passed upon all men by Adam and Eve.
Rom. 5:12 “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:”
Mankind was under that curse for 4000 years.
Genesis 3:17 “And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;”
Adam harkened to his wife who was deceived which was a type of Israel.
The Messiah said I come not to be ministered onto but to minister.
Matthew 20:28 KJV “even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.”
Genesis 3:17 the ground reflected, Adam’s carnal mind.
They are like two bodies: spiritual and carnal. Must be translated to the spiritual.
When Adam lost his heavenly estate, Yahweh waited until the cool of the day to drive him out of the garden.
Adam didn't have both a carnal and spiritual mind in the garden. First, he was in the light where he was spiritual minded, and then he sinned, and became carnal minded and in darkness. That’s when ‘Michael had to kick him out of the garden.
A deep sleep came on to Abraham
Genesis 15:12 “And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.”
People in class think they can be Spiritual and Carnal at the same time. No, just like you can’t be dead and alive at the same time.
Rom. 8
Peter preached into the Gentiles, Acts 10th Chapter
John 14:26 “26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”
Acts 10: 44 Peter was astonished when the Gentiles received the Holy Spirit
Acts 10: 44-45 “44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
Exodus 10:21-22 “21 And Yahweh (the Lord) said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt. 22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:”
The kingdom of Yahweh is not geographical, but you have the Holy Spirit in your heart and mind.
Jeremiah 4:23 23 "I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light."
Jeremiah is looking back at the beginning he beheld the Earth in darkness without Form and void.
Yahweh divided darkness from Light as he did in Egypt.
Genesis 1:1, darkness is divided from light. “1 In the beginning Elohim (God) created the heaven and the earth.”
Light equals illumination
Y. Manning asked a question:
So is that why when we FAST We have a Xloser Relationship with God?
Yahshua the Messiah fasted for 40 days and nights and fulfilled fasting.

Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees discernment comes from within, fasting from lies.
Matthew 16:1-4, “The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. 2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. 3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering.

Matthew 16:5-8 “5 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. 6 Then Yahshua (Jesus) said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. 7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread. 8 Which when Yahshua (Jesus) perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?”
The Messiah was telling them don’t believe the doctrine
Matthew 16:12 “Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.”
Dr. Robert Brown continued.
Exodus 14:20 “And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.”
2 states of mind
Israel in light, Pharaoh in Darkness.
John 8:12, Nicodemus came by night because he was in darkness to Yahshua the messiah the light.
John 8:12 KJV “Then spake Yahshua (Jesus) again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
John 3:1-4 KJV “There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: the same came to Yahshua (Jesus) by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from Elohim (God): for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except Elohim (God) be with him. Yahshua (Jesus) answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of Elohim (God). Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?”
The carnal mind only understands the flesh. Yahshua size walking after the spirit.
Blood, water, spirit, 40 describes a natural birth
Romans 8:1-2, 6-8
Paul said he couldn’t speak to them spiritually because they were carnal
1 Corinthians 3:1 “3 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in the Messiah (Christ).”
Rom. 8:14-15 ’14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of Yahweh, they are the sons of Yahweh. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.”
Scribes & Pharisees didn’t believe this and told the Jews they should still keep the Law of Moses after the Messiah’s death, burial, and resurrection. Stephen was stoned to death for preaching the truth and Paul held his coat.
Acts 7: 57-60 “57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, 58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul. 59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon Elohim (God), and saying, master Yahshua (Lord Jesus) , receive my spirit. 60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Yahweh (Lord), lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.”
When the scriptures talk about the stars falling from heaven, they are referring to the Scribes & Pharisees because the people looked unto them as stars. On the Day of Pentecost those stars fell from heaven because the Apostles received the Holy Spirit and outshone the Scribes & Pharisees. They were as fallen angels who appeared as angels of light.
2 Cor. 11:13-14 13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Isaiah 40:4 “Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:”
Valley exalted = disciples
Mountains & hills made low = Scribes & Pharisees
Peter, James & John were fisherman. They couldn’t be compared to doctors and lawyers.
On the day of Pentecost, Isa. 40:4 was fulfilled.
Colossians 2:8-10, 14-17, you are complete in him, you only have to lean on him.
“Colossians 2:8-10, 14-17, 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the supernal nature (Godhead) bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: … 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. 18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,”
Since we are complete in him, what is there for us to do? There are no works to do under the New Covenant, we only have to come learn of him. The Gentiles were never given the law.
Jews couldn’t keep the law. If child was supposed to be circumsized on the 8th day, but it fell on a Sabbath, do you circumsize your son or keep the Sabbath.
Matt. 11:28-30 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
The truth Versus doctrine of the Scribes and Pharisees
The Gentiles who have not the law, do the things contained in the law. They are the law unto themselves.
Romans 2:14 “For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:”
The Gentiles read the scriptures and think they should follow the Mosaic law as did the Jews, but the Gentiles were never given the law and were grafted in when Peter preached at Cornelius house 7 years after the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
Christians teach you should follow the law or they beguile the Gentiles from receiving their reward.
1 Thess. 5:1-5 “1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of Yahweh (the Lord) so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.”
Body of light equals Israel in the day Body of darkness equals Israel in the night

"THE NATURAL MAN,
“The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of Yahweh: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Corinthians 2:14).
(a) Here it is plain that by “the natural man” is not meant a person devoid of natural judgment, reason, or conscience, in which sense the expression is often used among men. (b) Nor does it signify one who is entirely governed by his fleshly appetites, or what the world calls a voluptuary, or sensualist.
(c) Neither does it signify merely a man in the rude state of nature, whose faculties have not been cultivated by learning and study, and polished by an intercourse with society.
The Apostle manifestly takes his “natural man” from among such as the world holds in the highest repute for their natural parts, their learning and their religion. He selects him from among the philosophers of Greece, who sought after wisdom, and from among the Jewish Scribes, who were instructed in the revealed law of Yahweh (1 Corinthians 1:22-23). These are the persons whom he terms the wise, the scribes, the disputers of this world — men to whom the gospel was a stumbling-block and foolishness (1 Corinthians 1:20-23). The natural man is here evidently opposed to “him that is spiritual” (1 Corinthians 2:15), even as the natural body which we derive from Adam is opposed to the spiritual body which believest will receive from The Messiah at the Revelation of Yahshua The Messiah from Heaven (1 Corinthians 15:44-45)."
