"So... the 'Still, Small Voice' of Our Loving, Heavenly Father is Further Enabling Our Separation from One Another? as Brethren??"

The truly spiritual will be found loving the brethren (the Father's business); and then, corporately... together... loving the whole rest of the world, for whom Christ died. How is it that most of us now claim to be "hearing from God" or "hearing from our loving, Heavenly Father" or "hearing our Father's voice"; yet, for all that, we are no closer to one another, even further divided and separated from one another than ever before? It sounds like somebody is deceived, deluded; sounds like somebody is full of something... and it isn't the Holy Ghost, much less the Spirit of Christ. Sounds like somebody is full of themselves; inordinately in love with themselves, worshiping themselves and their own brand of self-righteousness. Since when is our Heavenly Father's majestic "voice" causing envy, strife... confusion and every evil work? But then again, are we perceiving our Heavenly Father as a Great Fiery Dragon; or are we perceiving our Heavenly Father as a Lamb? Maybe our Great Fiery Dragon-"Pharaoh Father" is really "speaking to us". Once Adam perceived our Father as a Great Fiery Dragon in heaven, or Pharaoh; Adam hid himself among the other trees of the garden (brethren who stood in, and received from the Revelation of the Lord); and "wrapped up himself" in a "convenient" occupation he found, making fig leaves. Then, he shifted all of the blame onto God, and onto his wife... to avoid taking responsibility and becoming accountable for the decision he made, and the kind of man he had become. It is no different today. As the "parousia", or "unveiling", or "coming", or "appearing" of the Lord continues to manifest in a people (in word and deed); then likewise, an anti-Christ spirit (anti-Love of God toward the brethren, and toward the rest of the whole world) will drive professing "christians" and/or "believers" to run and hide from one another (really, from the unveiling of "Christ-in-you") behind famous ministries, and "wrap up themselves" in their families, jobs/occupations, and/or man-given job titles. And let's not forget our money! Oh, what would we ever be or do without our "precious" money! Here are some of the specific things, in which and behind which, "our sweet, little Jesus" taught we would "wrap up" ourselves and "hide"... to protect our own brand of self-righteousness and identity crisis... and to avoid one another: (1)earthly father, (2)earthly mother, (3)SPOUSE, (4)natural children (*most "christians" love to hide behind their children and use them as an excuse!), (5)earthly brothers, (6)earthly sisters, and (7)our "own lives" (*you know, because we are just "so busy"). But Apostle Paul (the Apostle of Grace) is quite clear: "You are no longer your own. You are bought with a price..."
Luke 14: 25-27 (AMPC) 25 Now huge crowds were going along with [Jesus], and He turned and said to them, 26 If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his [own] father and mother [[g]in the sense of indifference to or relative disregard for them in comparison with his attitude toward God] and [likewise] his wife and children and brothers and sisters-[yes] and even his own life also-he cannot be My disciple. 27 Whoever does not persevere and carry his own cross and come after (follow) Me cannot be My disciple. Luke 15: 25-32 (NLT) 25 "Meanwhile, the older son was in the fields working. When he returned home, he heard music and dancing in the house, 26 and he asked one of the servants what was going on. 27 'Your brother is back,' he was told, 'and your father has killed the fattened calf. We are celebrating because of his safe return.' 28 "The older brother was angry and wouldn't go in. His father came out and begged him, 29 but he replied, 'All these years I've slaved for you and never once refused to do a single thing you told me to. And in all that time you never gave me even one young goat for a feast with my friends. 30 Yet when this son of yours comes back after squandering your money on prostitutes, you celebrate by killing the fattened calf!' 31 "His father said to him, 'Look, dear son, you have always stayed by me, and everything I have is yours. 32 We had to celebrate this happy day. For your brother was dead and has come back to life! He was lost, but now he is found!'" James 3: 13-18 (NKJV) 13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. 15 This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. 16 For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield (*unto others), full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. 18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
