Central Claim: Given fulfilled eschatology, including Christ's completed atonement, return, destruction of Satan, and God becoming all in all, the faith today must be radically reoriented away from institutional religion toward subjective, Spirit-led trust and agape love as the only valid measures of a life before God.
Biblical Basis: John 1:9 grounds universal Spirit-indwelling; Jeremiah 31:31-34 establishes the new covenant as internally written, rendering external religious authority obsolete; Ephesians 1:13-14 frames the Spirit's sealing as universal and unconditional; 2 Corinthians 5 declares world reconciliation already accomplished.
Yeshuan Perspective: McCraney's argument exemplifies Christiarchy by dismantling every institutional claim to mediate between God and humanity, including clergy, creeds, and sacramental systems. The fulfilled eschatology framework renders ongoing doctrinal gatekeeping not merely unnecessary but contradictory to Christ's completed victory. Epistemic humility is built into the framework: all people see through a glass darkly (1 Corinthians 13), and God's assessment rests on heart-posture, not doctrinal precision. Faith becomes genuinely subjective, not relativistic, because the Spirit of the risen Christ is the universal referent already present in every person.

So, over the past two weeks we have talked about some potential “If’s” that we see as valid from scripture.
They are
“If or since Christ paid for the sin of the world and not just the sin of those that believe”
And since
“Christ has returned as promised to take His own pure Bride” (something we did not cover but include here)
And “Since Satan has been destroyed in the Lake of Fire,”
And “Since death and hell have been cast into the Lake of Fire and destroyed,”
and
“since Christ no longer mediates between God and Man.”
And finally, since God is All in ALL, and the world has been reconciled to Him, then what can we conclude about the faith today?”
The first biblically based solutions we are calling THEN’s in the face of all these “If’s or sinces” should serve to fully alter the complexion of religion today, Christian tradition, practice, and established so-called Orthodoxy.
Most people will not be able to hear or see what we are suggesting at this point. They have cut their teeth on religion and the perspective is frightening to them, so they hearken back to the safety and comfort of what they have always believed and continue forward with these errant certainties.
Here is the first then that we must admit, in the face of all of our ifs –
These decisions of other people of faith are okay. God understands. He knows the impact of being raised in certain traditions, the mindset of trying to please Him by and through obedience to what people have been taught all their lives, and He allows these expressions, and cultures and ways of men to exist in the lives of all human beings.
He knows we all see through a glass darkly and life is a series of struggles where each of us decide what to retain, use and belief according to the cultures and families from which we come.
We would be ignorant to believe that all the world should, would or could ever agree on any system of belief at this stage in history in the face of our different
Genders
Ages
Nationalities
Religions
Cultures
Education
Gifts
Weaknesses, Deficits and defects
Maturities
Will
And personal desires.
All of these factors are at play in every person’s life and in and through them all God, who is all in all (which includes that He is in all) and His end-of life assessments for everyone are not based on
Perfect faith
Perfect knowledge
Doctrinal certitude
Perfect living
But on the heart-condition of every person toward Him (according to where they are) and the love they allow Him to bring to others through their dedicated lives.
PERIOD, friends. The whole kit and kaboodle is faith in God from the Heart and agape love.
This is not to say right information, perspective and religious education is not important for people in becoming liberated from the vicissitudes of this world and all things that hold us bound, but again, those things are for our benefit here and now – but it is the faith and love of everyone from anywhere – that He seeks.
Let’s look at this Graphic to help us better compare.
Series III IF/THEN - Part III

GRAPHIC 1
YESHUAN VIEW of Christ’s Total Victory
STANDARD TRADITIONAL VIEW
“Christ paid for the sin of the world unconditionally and not just for the sin of those that believe.”
“Christ has not paid for the sin of the world unconditionally, but for His sacrifice to have power to wipe away sin, people must believe and receive Him and Him alone.”
“Yeshua returned as promised, destroying the former age of material religion, introducing the age of the Spirit, initiating the Spiritual resurrection of Man, and reconciling the world to His Father forevermore.”
Christ has not returned as promised, He and the apostles were wrong in thinking He would, and the whole world of humanity is still waiting for His reign to commence, for a material resurrection to occur, and for the great white throne judgment to happen to us all.
“Satan has been destroyed in the Lake of Fire,”
“Satan therefore is still in power, stealing souls and ruining the finished work of Christ.”
Spiritual death and hell have been cast into the Lake of Fire and all death has been destroyed and defeated.”
People still go to the Lake of Fire and die spiritually. This “lake” is often described as hell, which is eternal and never ending and is the destination of all who do not receive and believe in Jesus Christ.
“Christ no longer mediates between God and Man.”
Christ forever mediates between God and those who believe on Him.
God is now “all in all,” as promised.
God will only be “all in all” once everything on earth is materially perfect.
“The whole world has been reconciled to God and every one of us are living in a Spiritual garden of Eden (so to speak) where we each choose whether to live by the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil or by faith.”
“The world is getting worse, it is headed for material destruction which will commence at the return of His Son to take His Bride and all the standards assigned to the Nation in Yeshua’s day are still assigned to the world population.”

PROBLEM
WITH THE STV
“Christ paid for the sin of the world unconditionally and not just for the sin of those that believe.”
“Christ has not paid for the sin of the world unconditionally, but for His sacrifice to have power to wipe away sin belief on Him is demanded.”
Not contextual nor biblically supported. Was only applicable to the Nation He came to save who had the law and the prophets and the Promises of God.
To make His payment conditional is to make His love conditional.
To make His payment conditional is to place His work of salvation in the hands of Man – therefore comes boasting.
Justification to life as children of Adam is free, sanctification through faith is a choice.

“Satan has been destroyed in the Lake of Fire,”
“Satan is still in power, stealing souls and ruining the finished work of Christ.”
It denies the text.
It is inconsistent with His Victory
It is a tool to escape responsibility

People still go to the Lake of Fire and die spiritually. This “lake” is often described as hell, which is eternal and never ending and is the destination of all who do not receive and believe in Christ.
All death has been destroyed but physical death is beaten by the resurrection for all and Spiritual death was only to that world under the law under which the world never had.
What kind of victory did Christ have if most people are going to eternally burn?

“Christ no longer mediates between God and Man.”
Christ forever mediates between God and those who believe on Him.
Not scripturally supported.
Christ’s mediatorial work is not forgotten and the value of it remains in place for the world eternally.
His purpose was to bring us all to God, to reconcile the world to His Father, and to make it possible, once again, for God to be all in all.
Because Christ is God, there is zero loss to His import in this view.

PROBLEM
WITH THE STV
God is now “all in all,” as promised.
God will only be “all in all” once everything on earth is materially perfect. Now He is still at war with Satan.
Not biblically sustained
This world will never be materially perfect – it is built on a different modality because of the Fall
God’s victory was spiritual and over all things.
The material world is a proving ground and God being all in all does not mean He rules materially over us any more than He did in the Garden over Adam and Eve.
Human freewill choice remains.
So, since, (GRAPHICS)
“Christ paid for the sin of the world unconditionally and not just for the sin of those that believe” as the Bible says.
“Since Christ returned and took His bride as promised, when promised, as the Bible states.
“Since Satan has been destroyed in the Lake of Fire,” as the Bible maintains.
“Since Spiritual death and hell have been cast into the Lake of Fire and all death has been destroyed and defeated,” as the Bible states,
And since, “Christ no longer mediates between God and Man” as the Bible declares and since,
“God is now “all in all,” as promised based on all of the above . . . “ and since, as 2nd Corinthians 5 states that God has been reconciled to the world . . .
What does the Bible literally say, suggest or allude to in the face of these things?
To answer this we will first look at the biblical descriptions of what is, then we will turn to our suggestion on how to move forward with this information in our hands.
So, number 1 in terms of biblical descriptions, what this looks like is
The material Christ, left the world in the hands of His Spirit – which was the Spirit of the Resurrected Victorious God.
Yeshua said of this Spirit -
John 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
“So, is everyone that is born of the Spirit?” You can’t tell where they come from or where they are going? Does that sound like sitting in a pew week after week cradle to grave? I don’t think so.
Yeshua taught His disciples in John 14:26 that 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. “
So the Holy Spirit, at least to His disciples would teach them all things – does it sound like there is a need for MDIV, PHD’s, Reverends to teach anyone.
Suggest? Sure. Dogamatically instruct in the ways of God – ha.
And of course this goes hand in hand with that God Himself said would be the situation in our day after the wrapping up of the former economy and which is found in Jeremiah 31:31-34 and says, yet once again,
31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Yeshua also said, describing the Spirit of the Risen Christ that would come
John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
Does that mean of Him literally, as the Mortal Messiah who came to His own (for those blessed enough to identify Him, sure. But when the Spirit testifies of Him isn’t that another way of it testifying of His love, His goodness, His power and mercy more than the man?
Its not that the Man is not vital to our understanding and seeing all that God did in and through Him but it’s the Spirit of that victorious risen Man that is being testified of, making it possible for anyone and everyone to know Him because He wrote His laws on their hearts and minds?
This power and witness of Him as the Son of God is known according to the Spirit of Holiness, synonymous with the Spirit of Christ and it is by the Spirit of the Mortal Christ?
Listen to Romans 1:4 where Paul writes
“And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:”
And for those who believe that the spirit of the Risen Christ is only in those who know Him and His mortal work directly consider what John wrote about Him after He had ascended, saying
John 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
Clearly and plainly suggesting that all people have at least a spark of His light in them, leading them, calling them, and inviting them to embrace faith in God and the Love His Spirit Brings.
And what is it that accompanies the Spirit of the Risen Christ that is writing His laws on the hearts and minds of every man?
Faith and hope through its sealing power which sustains us until the day of our redemption.
Did you know that Paul wrote to the believers in Ephesus back in the day the same, saying to them,
Eph 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Is it so far out to believe that in this age of His reigning victorious Spirit, where God is all in all and Christ is in every person that all souls are able to metaphysically trust in the Spirit of His Son and are also sealed with that Holy Spirit of Promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of His Glory?
We don’t think so.
And instead of this universal unconditional gift of the Spirit in Christ being temporary and conditional to our worthiness isn’t it more in line with the unconditional love of God that the Spirit is permanent in all people, giving God the chance to reach and move and teach all people when they allow themselves to hear.
And by that Risen Victorious Spirit in every person since the wrapping up of that former age isn’t God reigning, calling, inviting, with longsuffering and patience over and to all?
What was it that Paul said in the church at Philippi in 3:21
Philippians 3:20-21 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
And didn’t Paul write to the Bride at Ephesus in Ephesians 4 the following and isn’t the same Spirit calling to all who will hear toward the same as it says
Ephesians 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.
26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
27 Neither give place to the devil.
28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
And since the fruit of the Spirit is Love, (Galatians/Ephesians) and love is defined as
1Co 13:4 Love is long-suffering, and kind; Love is never envious, never boastful, never conceited, never behaves unbecomingly;
5 Love is never self-seeking, never provoked, never reckons up her wrongs;
6 Love never rejoices at evil, but rejoices in the triumph of Truth;
7 Love bears with all things, every trustful, ever hopeful, ever patient.
8 Love never fails.
Is not this the way that we operate and at least to some degree can identify His true disciples?
And do we not find people of other religious expressions abiding and living in His love even though they are tied for all sorts of reasons to religious ideas that stand contrary to the Truth?
Our summary of everything that we see, as Yeshuans is the following:
The Victory of the Mortal Messiah has been had once and for all for the world.
His Spirit indwells all people unconditionally, calling to all to receive and live by THAT spirit and not by religious dogmas and practice.
That every individual is accountable to God for how they choose to live their lives, that the sin brought on by Adam is paid in fall and with the Spirit of the Risen Christ abiding in all every person from every walk of life can literally walk in the power of His Spirit – even without knowing that that power is by and through Him.
Therefore, by what principles/doctrine and practices do Yeshuans live by today?
The faith is entirely subjective in terms of beliefs, doctrine and practice.
This subjectivity is based on factors like
Maturity
Intelligence
Drivers
God’s hand
Genetics
Nurture
History
That God is all in all and those who seek Him diligently in spirit and truth will find Him, and that the call on their lives is love toward all all the time, sinners, saints, Christians, Mormons, Baptist, Evangelicals, Hindus, Buddhists, Bahai, atheists, intellectuals . . .
We proposed value in Proverbs 16:7,
"When a man's ways please God, even his enemies are at peace with him.”
And in Romans 12:18
"If it is possible, as far as depends on you, live at peace with all men"), and Hebrews 12:14
“Pursue peace with everyone" and 1 Peter 3:11 "Seek peace and pursue it".
Fulfilling what Christ taught His disciples back in Matthew 5:9 when He said, blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the Children of God.
In summary and wrapping up this short series, we as Yeshuans want to suggest that God’s Children are found everywhere in the world through faith and love.
And that he seeks to bring more and more children into His family and key to this objective are His children sharing light love and liberty that they have found with others –
Not dogma. Not denominationalism.
Faith (in whatever way it manifests because we all see through a glass darkly) and love of all all the time.
That perhaps instead of reading into the line and narrowly defining, “One Lord, one faith and One baptism” we see Lord as Lord of all rather than Lord of a few, that we see faith as faith unrestricted, and not narrowly defined and we see one baptism as a baptism of the Spirit, which none can control.
Finally, we offer education as the go to for a valid replacement for humans playing church – which is the end of the line Then for us believers in the world today.
Not dogma. Nor rites. Nor demands nor screaming from the pulpit or stream corners, Know the Lord! Know the Lord! For?????
All know Him.
