The stone that the builders rejected...

God is building himself a church out of the world's rejects. He is giving them the Holy Spirit and they will be his priests in the kingdom to come. 1 Peter 2:4-5 4 Coming to Him, a living stone — rejected by men but chosen and valuable to God — 5 you yourselves, as living stones, are being built into a spiritual house for a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God (YHWH) through Jesus Christ. Everything else on this planet is a delusion preached by people who do not have the Holy Spirit. This is why there are over 40,000 different Christian denominations who are all teaching different biblical doctrines. If they all had the Holy Spirit, then they would all agree on the same biblical teachings. 1 John 2:27 27 But the anointing (the Holy Spirit) which you have received of him abides in you, and you need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing (the Holy Spirit) teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it (the Holy Spirit) has taught you, you shall abide in him. 1 John 4:5-6 5 They are from the world. Therefore what they say is from the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God. Anyone who knows God listens to us; anyone who is not from God does not listen to us. From this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deception. John 14:16 (Christ speaking to the born from above-Elect) 16 I (Yeshua) will ask the Father (God-YHWH), and He will give you another Counselor (the Holy Spirit) to be with you forever. 17 He (the Holy Spirit) is the Spirit of truth. The world is unable to receive Him (the Holy Spirit) because it doesn’t see Him or know Him. But you do know Him, because He remains with you and will be in you. 2 Corinthians 4:3 3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. (Without the Holy Spirit, a person cannot understand scripture.) 1 Corinthians 2:10-15 10 Now God has revealed these things to us by the Spirit, for the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. 11 For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man that is in him? In the same way, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who comes from God, so that we may understand what has been freely given to us by God. 13 We also speak these things, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things to spiritual people. 14 But the person without the Spirit does not welcome what comes from God’s Spirit, because it is foolishness to him; he is not able to understand it since it is evaluated spiritually. 15 The spiritual person, however, can evaluate everything, yet he himself cannot be evaluated by anyone. 1 Corinthians 1:19-31 19 For it is written: I (god-YHWH)will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will set aside the understanding of the experts. 20 Where is the philosopher? Where is the scholar? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn't God made the world's wisdom foolish? 21 For since, in God's wisdom, the world did not know God through wisdom, God was pleased to save those who believe through the foolishness of the message preached. 22 For the Jews ask for signs and the Greeks seek wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the Gentiles. 24 Yet to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is God's power and God's wisdom, 25 because God's foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God's weakness is stronger than human strength. 26 Brothers, consider your calling: not many are wise from a human perspective, not many powerful, not many of noble birth. 27 Instead, God has chosen the world's foolish things to shame the wise, and God has chosen the world's weak things to shame the strong. 28 God has chosen the world's insignificant and despised things— the things viewed as nothing—so He might bring to nothing the things that are viewed as something, 29 so that no one can boast in His presence.
