Perfectly Perfect
Pt 8 - The Weakness of Self, Evil Associations and Sexual Vice
By Lawrence DeMetrius


The satanic powers that challenged me at the time of my exit from the common church affiliation and activities thought they had me right where they wanted me. Their next attempt was to motivate me to challenge the legitimacy of the Holy Bible. However, my personal encounter with Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost were enough to preserve my faith in all divinely inspired writings concerning Yahweh and HIS CHRIST. Such writing includes…

• The King James Bible
• The Book of Enoch 1
• The Book of Jasher
• The Book of Jubilees and
• Eusebius’s Ecclesiastical History

From the moment Jesus Christ revealed Himself to me and imparted unto my soul divine faith in and of Himself, I have never struggled with the idea of His familial relationship to Yahweh as HIS Son, His divinely appointed Lordship, or the reality of the Holy Ghost. For many generations countless mortals have irreverently decreed that man wrote the Bible in hopes of degrading its credibility. In fact, every book ever written on earth, with exception of the FIRST TABLET OF THE TEN COMMANDENTS, was written by a mortal. One’s concern should be whether or not the books they choose to embrace are generated by divine inspiration or satanic influence. Either way they were all written by man. However, writings that are inspired by the Holy Ghost are consistently supported by Him with demonstration, power and fulfillment of prophecies that are well documented in sacred and secular historical archives. It was Enoch who first taught about the origin and purpose of books, and how many of them would be produced under satanic influence, to counter those purposed to teach mortals about Yahweh, HIS Christ, and principles that empower them to practice divine worship and live righteously.



Enoch writes,

Woe to you who set at naught the words of the righteous; for ye shall have no hope of life.
Woe to you who write down lying and godless words; for they write down their lies that men may hear them and act godlessly towards their neighbor. Therefore, they shall have no peace but die a sudden death.
[Eno 98:14, 15]

And, although ye sinners say, “All our sins shall not be searched out and be written down.”, nevertheless they <the holy angels> shall write down all your sins every day. And now I show unto you that light and darkness, day and night, see all your sins.
Be not godless in your hearts, and lie not and alter not the words of uprightness, nor charge with lying the words of the Holy Great One, nor take account of your idols;
For all your lying and all your godlessness issue not in righteousness but in great sin.
And now I know this mystery, that sinners will alter and pervert the words of righteousness in many ways, and will speak wicked words, and lie, and practice great deceits, and write books concerning their words.
But when they write down truthfully all my <Enoch’s> words in their languages and do not change or minish ought from my words but write them all down truthfully – all that I first testified concerning them.
Then, I know another mystery, that books will be given to the righteous and the wise to become a cause of joy and uprightness and much wisdom. And to them shall the books be given, who have learnt therefrom all the paths of uprightness be recompensed.
[Eno 104:7-13]

Another book which Enoch wrote for his son Methuselah and for those who will come after him, and keep the law in the last days.
Ye who have done good shall wait for those days till an end is made of those who work evil; and an end of the might of the transgressors.
And wait ye indeed till sin has passed away, for their names shall be blotted out of the book of life and out of the holy books, and their seed shall be destroyed forever, and their spirits shall be slain, and they shall cry and make lamentation in a place that is a chaotic wilderness, and in the fire shall they burn; for there is no earth there.
And I saw there something like an invisible cloud; for by reason of its depth I could not look over, and I saw a flame of fire blazing brightly, and things like shining mountains circling and sweeping to and fro. And I asked one of the holy angels who was with me and said unto him: ‘What is this shining thing? For it is not a heaven but only the flame of a blazing fire, and the voice of weeping and crying and lamentation and strong pain.’ And he said unto me: ‘This place which thou seest here are cast the spirits of sinners and blasphemers, and of those who work wickedness, and of those who pervert everything that the Lord hath spoken through the mouth of the prophets, even the things that shall be.
[Eno 108:1-7]

As a true born-again believer, I began to recognize more clearly that from Enoch to Christ and His Original Apostles, how Yahweh has always been mindful to initiate the writing and publishing of books that would benefit HIS beloved children born into every generation. Enoch writes,

The second vision which he saw, the vision of wisdom – which Enoch the son of Jared, the son of Mahalalel, the son of Cainan, the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, saw.
And this is the beginning of the words of wisdom which I lifted up my voice to speak and say to those which dwell on earth:
Hear, ye men of old time, and see, ye that come after, the words of the Holy One which I will speak before THE LORD OF SPIRITS.
It were better to declare them only to the men of old time, but even from those that come after we will not withhold the beginning of wisdom.
Till the present day such wisdom has never been given by THE LORD OF SPIRITS by WHOM the lot of eternal life has been given to me.
Now three Parables were imparted to me, and I lifted up my voice and recounted them to those that dwell on the earth.
[Eno 37]





The Lord Jesus said,

These are the words which I spake unto you <the Original Apostles> while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning Me.
Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures.
[Lk 24:44, 45]

Apostle Paul writes,

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
[II Tim 2:15]

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
[II Tim 3:16, 17]

GOD, WHO at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by HIS Son…
[Heb 1:1, 2]

Apostle Peter admonishes shortly before his martyrdom writing,

For we <the Original Apostles> have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made know unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty.
For He received from God the Father honor and glory, when there came such a voice to Him from the excellent glory, This is MY beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased.
And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with Him in the holy mount.
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
Knowing this first <or chiefly>, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
[II Pet 1:16-21]

Furthermore, Yahweh at pivotal times orchestrates the uncovering of scientific facts, archeological artifacts, and proofs of prophetic fulfillment that support the knowledge provisioned in these documents. In addition, THE LORD has placed within all creation an innate ability to recognize HIS sovereign existence and directives. Therefore, all mortals are before HIM without excuse for not revering and obeying HIM as they should. Enoch writes,

…HE <Yahweh the HOLY GREAT ONE and LORD OF SPIRITS> has created and given to man the power of understanding the word of wisdom…
[Eno 14:3]

The book written by Enoch – Enoch indeed wrote this complete doctrine of wisdom, which is praised of all men and a judge of all the earth for all my children who shall dwell on earth. And for the future generations who shall observe uprightness and peace.
[Eno 92:1]

King Solomon writes,

If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not HE that pondereth the heart consider it? And HE that keepeth thy soul, doth not HE know it? And shall not HE render to every man according to his works?
[Pro 24:12]

Apostle Paul writes,

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for GOD hath shewed it unto them.
For the invisible things of HIM from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even HIS eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
[Rm 1:18-20]

There has never been a need for Yahweh or HIS teachers to coerce or beg nonbelievers to receive divine insight. [II Tim 2:24-26] Those who are truly predestinated to become sons of God will at their appointed times hear and positively respond to Word of Wisdom. The Lord Jesus said,

And when He <God in Christ> putteth forth His Own sheep, He goeth before them, and the sheep follow Him; for they know His voice.
And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him; for they know not the voice of strangers.
[Jn 10: 4, 5]

Yahweh is faithful to direct the sheep of HIS flock to the tents of shepherds who will adequately nurture and feed them HIS WORD per King Solomon who writes,

If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds’ tents.
[S of S 1:8]

As noted in the Gospel of Apostle Luke, Christ teaches per His Parable of the Prodigal Son [Lk 15:11-32], that the Elect who go astray are graced with life experiences that will help to restore them to their rightful senses, and prompt their return back to their rightful estate in the kingdom of their ABBA, FATHER. Since I relinquished all general church work and activities, I had plenty of idle time on my hands. As mentioned earlier, I was still very young naturally and spiritually at that time. The enemy sought to take advantage of my inexperience as a youth.
However, THE LORD protected me in many ways and dismissed many mountains devised to destroy me. I learned why submitting my natural body to HIM is just as important as submitting my soul and spirit bodies to HIM. Yahweh is THE CREATOR of the triune mortal being and is fully aware of its innate nature, elements, functions, and development. I had to learn that there is no part of the mortal being that is less important to Yahweh then the other. It was many years before I realized that HE really does want all of it sanctified unto HIMSELF through Christ and the Holy Ghost.
In regard to that of HIS exclusive worshiper, HE requires for all of it to be presented to HIM as a living sacrifice. Moses writes,

And the LORD GOD formed man of the dust of the ground <terrestrial body>, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life <spirit body>: and man became a living soul <soul body, seat of sentiment, and the triune mortal being as a sound whole>.
[Gen 2:7]

King Solomon writes,

Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. <all sources of mortal life>
Then shall the dust <terrestrial body> return to the earth as it was: and the spirit <breath of life> return to God WHO gave it.
[Eccl 12:6, 7]

Apostle Paul writes,
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your BODIES <soul, spirit, and terrestrial body> a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
[Rm 12:1]

And the very God of peace sanctify you WHOLLY <W-H-O-L-L-Y>; and I <Paul> pray God your whole SPIRIT and SOUL and BODY be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
[I Thes 5:23]

The Lord Jesus said,

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy HEART <thoughts, feeling, and intellect>, and with all thy SOUL <breath of life>, and with all thy mind <mental faculty with all its functionality>.
This is the FIRST and GREAT commandment.
[Mt 22:37, 38]
According to divinely inspired writs, Yahweh already knows who are going to be saved from The Second Death on The Final Day of Judgment. HE searches them out in every generation to show HIMSELF great in their behalf because their hearts are whole toward HIM. [II Chr 16:9] Because of their sin flawed nature, Yahweh must first enlighten them about the reality of HIMSELF as HE did Moses, Abraham and many others before they can better understand themselves as HIS Elect Ones. Although I was no longer actively involved in religious works, I was still a born-again believer, of the spiritual remnant that is according to the election of grace. This is that divine gratuity accessible only to those who were predestinated by Yahweh from the foundation of the world, by faith in Christ and not works. Apostle Paul expounds upon this truth per Yahweh’s dialogue with Prophet Elijah, when Queen Jezebel determined to kill all of HIS prophets in Israel. Apostle Paul writes,

I say then, Hath God cast away HIS people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
God hath not cast away HIS people which HE foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? How he maketh intercession to God against Israel <under Queen Jezebel’s influence>, saying, Lord, they have killed THY prophets, and digged down THINE altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to MYSELF seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
Even so then at this present time also there is a REMNANT ACCORDING TO THE ELECTION OF GRACE.
And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise, grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise, work is no more work.
[Rm 11:1-6]
