I Got All D's in College English, But I got A+ in Metaphor

SHUTTERSTOCK

For some reason, I felt the Holy Spirit pushing me for a couple of days to read the book of Romans in my new Complete Jewish Bible. Like most people who have studied the Bible for three decades, I've read, studied, and "got" Romans for three decades. However, tonight, I saw something that never registered with me before. (Pun intended!)

I think I've got it, the answer everyone asks: Is once saved, always saved truth, or can we lose our salvation. I get it, I got it, Now, I'm gonna share it. This is so cool. We have all been lied to by the gentile church. That was the devil's doing. He doesn't want us to pass the class in the College of Life. He put that misinterpreted verse (we are under grace, not law) as a lie to confuse people and to entice people to drop out of school.

We are under both. Here's how it works:

YHVH GOD is the Professor in the class and He assigns EVERYONE an A before the first day of class, regardless of who is registered for the class. He does it, because Yeshua, Jesus already passed the class w/an A. So, GOD gives everyone Jesus's A. Everyone who takes his first breath is automatically enrolled in the class LIFE 101.

Now, only those who have still have their A at the end of the semester (life) will get to go to heaven. You must have Jesus's A. At the acceptable age, and only the Professor knows what that is, we have to start paying attention in class. At that acceptable age, the assignments begin. The Professor assigns the work and teaches the class. He who chooses NOT to do the homework, the reading, the studying, participating in class, or studying to pass the tests does not get to keep their A.

If B is good enough for them, that's fine in their eyes only, but they miss the mark. An example of a student lowering their A to a B is if they just show up in class to fill their seat. There are much more B students in the class than A students. My husband always said, "C's get degrees," and that may be true in traditional college, but not in the College of Hard-Knocks. A student who lowers his A to a C is called, Mediocre Student. He doesn't care about what the Professor is teaching, and he half pays attention. He rarely does the work, some will do just what they think they will need to get by. A student who lowers his A to a D is called, Sometimes Student. Sometimes he shows up for class, but paying attention, or doing any homework is out of the question. The student who lowers his A to an F is the Withdrawal Student. He figures it's better to get a W on their transcript than an F.

The hard fast rule is only Jesus's A graduates you to Heaven's Grad School. We have a whole lifetime to keep paying attention in class to keep our A. It is not how smart we are, it's the effort, the good ole college try that we put into it. The Professor knows every student intimately and is always watching. His TA (teaching assistant), the Holy Spirit is assigned to tutor those who want to keep their A.

So before Jesus came along, Adam took the class and he flunked it, thus earning everyone an automatic F. No matter how hard anyone worked in that class, they never got to the A, because they started with an F. They could achieve a D, or a C, or a B, but not the 4.0 required in the A,. No human is capable of earning the A, for the mere fact that they were born human.

When Jesus enrolled in the class, LIFE 101, (approximately on March 20, 4 BC) he did the work and achieved the A. His passing with flying colors took away Adam's automatic F and gave us Yeshua HaMashiach's (Hebrew for Jesus the Christ) A he earned. Everyone born after Jesus earned his A is automatically enrolled and automatically gets His A, so everyone has a fair chance. We don't get to automatically keep the A, however. Some students never show up for that class, they skip all the time, or they withdraw from the class all together. They think that they can avoid a F on their GPA by withdrawing, but they are sadly wrong. Only those who remain registered in the class at the University of Life and Redemption get an opportunity to keep their A.

That my friends is the Metaphor Mama's Gospel Metaphor! Now, HOW COOL is that!
