    "Covenantal Restoration Manifesto" By Gallagher

    Sep 17—2025 Written by Matthew Gallagher Uncategorized ”Covenantal Restoration Manifesto” By Gallagher Part 1 A little history for you that I never knew before I saw it right now with you; The view you’ve articulated—Covenantal Restorationism—isn’t a widely established theological system with...

    I am the detachment, the enlightenment and the balance of Samsara, no one responds to the One alive in Nirvana but by the power of the Crucible (om?)

    Hi there, So this is unorthodox theology, that Christ somehow reflects Eastern Buddhist theology. "Detachment, enlightenment, the balance of Samsara" are all Buddhist concepts, but Buddha never said "I am these things". Not only did Christ say "I am the way, the truth and the life" He laid down...

    When we are first conceived, God examines us; then when we believe, God examines us more closely (see a pattern?)

    Hi there, So this is a simple truth which was discovered by someone, which helps keep our walk in the faith in perspective. The truth is, that when we are conceived, God examines us. We don't immediately have a full grown heart, but God examines what will become our heart. This is something...

    He was made sin for us, yes, but how hard will it be: for Him to return to being without sin? (sinning?)

    Hi there, So I had a simple thought: how hard will it be, for Jesus to return to being without sin? The concept is, becoming sin went in one direction - toward God - whereas returning to being without sin, goes beyond God. Jesus does not want us to stay where we are; one day we will have to...

    The Gospel will be quickened and re-scattered (eyes on the future?)

    Ok right, So this is a very simple observation about how the Gospel is able to be more expertly interpreted, more faithfully delivered. What I am hoping for here, is that you will open your mind up to the idea that there is a true way for the Gospel to be received, that differs for almost...

    Revelation says there are three things you need to do, about the rule of the flesh over Earth (got life in mind?)

    Hi there, So I don't think of the anti-Christ in terms of his rule over the Earth any more; to me the anti-Christ is synonymous with "flesh" - the "flesh" will rule over the Earth. We don't need to fear the spirit, which is 'anxiety' - any spirit, including the anti-Christ's. To be ready for...

    Only One Way to the Father

    While I do believe people who may not know everything about Jesus and they look to God in faith, he by his choice will give them the Holy Spirit, and in the end of life come to know the one whom had gave them new life. Many people out there believe this an unbiblical concept, however God is not...

    God will never complete you, before He converts you (selah?)

    Hi there, So I have this simple thought for your edification In essence, God will always put the will of His Son (Jesus Christ) before the will of the Holy Spirit. This is because to be completed means that you need a foundation, and the only way to develop a foundation, is to be converted by...

    The Devil has many religions, the Lord has a relationship (relating?)

    Hi there, So I just want to call out "false religion". False religion, is a work of the Devil - as such, it is to be resisted. False religion is not something you should entertain by degrees - the Devil will snare you in false religion, whether you are a novice or an expert. As scripture says...

    If I am "commanded" to love you (brother/sister), what is it you think my love is commanded to be? (dreaming?)

    Hi there, So I guess this falls under the category of "ask and you shall receive", and since I don't know what I am going to receive, it is also a matter of faith. The essential point is that I understand what it means to love someone, but when it comes to loving the brethren I have never asked...

    We've got this! We should start praying "Thankyou Father, that Your Son's Gospel has gone out to *all* the nations of the world - we say by faith!"

    Hi there, So yes, this just occurred to me now: we should be praying "Thankyou Father, that Your Son's Gospel has gone out to all the nations of the Earth - we say by faith in His Name". By doing this, we enter into the labor that is required and fix our sight on the goal - this will make us...

    A lot of God's Will is preventative - "if they build the tower of Babel, there is nothing they won't be able to do" (Gen 11:6)

    Hi there, So there are times when God's prevention is obvious: the people of Noah's day, Sodom and Gomorrah, Achan. But a lot of times God's prevention is a lot more subtle: if you had got on that plane you'd be dead, Joseph fed his family during famine, if you hadn't been schizophrenic you...

    God suffers more with us, than we can suffer on our own - but He does it anyway! (heartfelt?)

    Hi there, So it is just out of love that I want to say this: suffering in God, comes at a far higher price, than we pay for on our own. This doesn't deter God, He is happy to share our suffering with us - until we find comfort. That so great a God would come down to our level, and be a part of...

    I'm praying that the Holy Spirit would come to my Church (joining?)

    Hi there, So I have to confess, that I actually saw the Holy Spirit come to my Church - but I didn't recognise Him until after He had left. Sorry. Now I am begging God that He come back, so that I can talk with Him (learn from Him). I figure the best thing I can do, is pray that He comes back...

    One commandment?

    ”The Father has loved us so much! This shows how much he loved us: We are called children of God. And we really are his children. But the people in the world don’t understand that we are God’s children, because they have not known him. Dear friends, now we are children of God. We have not yet...

    God's design is so complicated, it prevents you from knowing it all (lost?)

    Hi there, So look, I've thought long and hard about all the systems that play a part in the body of a creature designed by God and the conclusion I have reached: is that it is impossible, to know it all. There are just so many systems integrated into one another, that no one system explains...

    I saw a partial vision, of the Spirit of God's Wisdom, swirling above me (worship?)

    Hi there, So, I just had the partial vision of the Spirit of God's Wisdom, swirling above me (like an aura borealis, but one colour) - and I just had to share! I wonder where the Spirit will lead? Yours truly, Chris

    "To the weak I became as weak", or how to lose control of how you are perceived - that some might be saved?

    Hi there, I Corinthians 9:22 "To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some." This agrees with the idea that Jesus was made sin, that we might become the righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21). When we see...

    The life in Jesus, is like a new leaf! (growing?)

    Hi there, So I just realised that the words Jesus spoke about new wineskins - that you don't put new wine into old wineskins - applied to Jesus facing the cross. Jesus didn't try to put the old Jesus on the Cross, but tried to put the new Jesus on the Cross. This is a marvelous thing to me...

    Do you not understand that what goes into the body, goes into the stomach, and is eliminated? (Jesus!)

    Hi there, So just taking inspiration from Jesus, it is evident that eating disease does not make us sick. If eating disease made us sick, Jesus would have said "be sure that you do not eat disease, for it will kill you". No! Nothing passing into the body, into the stomach, does anything but get...
