Eternal “God” told me to AAdd “Eternal” to Eternal “God” so that’s what I did. Eternal Father, Eternal Son and Eternal Holy Spirit because “God” is becoming a cliché or a line without reverence in it that has been taking advantage of most people.

He told me to change every Jesus to Father Christ so that’s what I did for reverence and Father Christ is the Eternal Father’s Priest forever. In Catholic or Roman Catholic Churches we call the priest Father representing Eternal Father and Father Christ since They’re One.

I did not come to call the righteous but sinners St Matthew 9:13

Father Christ’s encounter with the Pharisees never fail to entertain.
Almost everywhere He preaches
A few people would show up
Trying to compromise His ministry

To catch Him in violation of custom or law
Mingling with known sinners
As Father Christ did repeatedly
Was clearly acceptable to Pharisees

While obeying the law is important
Father Christ was an observant Jew
He also knew the law
Social structures had their limitations

His message to legalistic sticklers is straightforward
Unadorned
He wants to engage real people on real issues
People with faults, problems, people searching for Eternal God

It means folks like you and me
He is not excluding the arrogantly righteous among us
He’s pretty busy with the rest of humanity
This message if freely offered to any

All who will listen
If youre going to hung up
On the narrow publications of the law
You will be missing a life changing message
