That "Trinity" of precepts as Seen in the Sanctuary (of the Triune Godhead)

He hath shewed thee,
O man, what is good;
and what doth the LORD require of thee,
--but to do justly,
[JUSTIFICATION/Outer Court--be a just and righteous person--as in Christ]
--and to love mercy,
[GLORIFICATION/Most Holy Place--as God has Mercy on you before the Mercy Seat in your Judgment--be like God your Heavenly Father]
--and to walk humbly with thy God?
[SANCTIFICATION/Inner Court--obedience on your path to holiness--as led by the Holy Spirit]
Micah 6:8

Spiritual Lesson: "Who Touched Me?" {-Prayer-}

Throngs were pressing about Christ and He turned to ask- And Jesus said, Who touched Me? 

When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, 

Master, the multitude throng Thee and press Thee, 

and sayest Thou, Who touched Me? 

Luke 8:45 

And Jesus said, 

Somebody hath touched Me: 

for I perceive that virtue is gone out of Me. 

Luke 8:46 

And He looked round about to see her 

that had done this thing. 

Mark 5:32 

While throngs of confessed followers are here, sending up prayers

to the Lord, -break away from the pomp of sacraments and ceremonies- and with your prayers long to be one of those whom He leans over and looks down from heaven at the throng and asks "who touched Me?"and remember ..........for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of His eye. Zechariah 2:8

"It is possible to be in Christ's presence, and even to press close to Him, and yet receive no blessing, because we touch Him only with the casual touch of the multitude."

The SEAL OF GOD

A seal must have three details in order to be legal:
(1) The name of the law-giver;

(2) his position, or authority; and
(3) the territory over which he rules. For example, the Queen of England's seal would read, Elizabeth (name), Queen (position or authority) of Great Britain, Ireland, and the Commonwealth (territory).

Now we ask,
Q: where can we find the seal of God in His law?
A: Only the Sabbath commandment contains all three essentials of a seal:
(1) "The seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord your God" (name
of the law-giver);
(2) "in six days the Lord made" (His position or authority, He is the Creator);
(3) "the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them" (the territory over which He rules.) "

Consciousness "zombie" Problem

"IF all our organs evolved the same--we should all be zombies--for where does the unique consciousness come from in evolution?" W. Alex Escobar wrote an article for The Conversation that tells you everything you need to know in the title: "Breaking down experiences into millions of parts may help explain consciousness." 

The rest is details about neurons and qualia (our perceptions of the looks, feels, tastes, etc., of nature around us). The important thing is that his model is a bottom-up approach.
* Aside from sharing the same problems with evolutionary theories of other complex systems, Escobar's bottom-up theory of consciousness suffers setbacks peculiar to consciousness. 

For one, it assumes what it needs to prove: that consciousness supervenes on matter. You can watch neurons firing between themselves for ages, and never see the conscious experience of qualia.
* Another setback is that his system provides no confidence that one person's qualia are similar to another person's. He might point to natural selection and common ancestry to support this, but then one would expect humans from one side of the planet to develop completely different qualia from those on the other. When Europeans met Native Americans who had crossed the Bering Strait long ages before, they were able to relate to one another as if their perceptions of nature were very similar, language differences notwithstanding.
* A third difficulty is that Escobar doesn't solve the "zombie" problem discussed by Chalmers. Evolutionary theory might account for sensory organs that can react to red or green, or loud or soft sounds, without ever leading to consciousness, thus resulting in "zombies."
Conscious experience is above and beyond what is necessary for survival. Each of us knows that we are not merely reacting to stimuli; we are experiencing the world in a deep, personal way.

We're being as charitable to Escobar as possible so far, because all the problems with Darwinian evolution as a creative process apply with a vengeance to consciousness.
--His theory is merely a restatement of Darwinism as applied to the mind.

The mutation/selection process

cannot account for irreducibly complex systems that are characterized by complex, specified information."

EN&V
--In other words, IF evolution were true, and our bodies evolved the same worldwide---WHY are our CONSCIOUSNESSES UNIQUE? Shouldn't we all have the same consciousnesses and likes, dislikes, opinions, etc.?
Q: IF evolution were true shouldn't we all be Zombies?

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground,

and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;

and man became a living soul.

Genesis 2:7

God's Hierarchy of Love

                             God's Hierarchy of Love
Jesus said unto him,

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,

and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

This is the first and great commandment.

And the second is like unto it,

Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

Matthew 22:37-39

God - Obey.
If ye love Me, 

keep My commandments.
John 14:15
Neighbor - Love - but Don't obey.

Fearing people is a dangerous trap,
but trusting the LORD means safety.
Proverbs 29:25 NLT

SUMMARY:

Q: Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, 

or of God? 

Q: Or am I trying to please people? 

If I were still trying to please people, 

I would not be a servant of Christ.

Galatians 1:10 NIV

Swine, Lucifer & Lakes have what in common?

Fate of the Swine cast into a Lake

Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding. And all the devils besought Him, saying, 

Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. 

And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. 

Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, 

and were choked.

Mark 5:11-12/Luke 8:33

Fate of Lucifer cast into a Lake

And the devil that deceived them 

was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone....

Revelation 20:10

Spiritual WARNING on things of that "SWINE"

The SWINE: And the swine,...he is unclean to you. 

Of their flesh shall ye not eat, 

and their carcase shall ye not touch; 

they are unclean to you. 

Leviticus 11:7,8
That Lucifer:
Q: And what accord has Christ with Belial? 

Q: Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?

Q: And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? 

for ye are the temple of the living God; 

as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; 

and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
Wherefore come out from among them, 

and be ye separate, saith the Lord, 

and touch not the unclean thing; 

and I will receive you, 

2 Corinthians 6:15-17

Things of that Unclean "Swine" Lucifer:
Love not the world, 

neither the things that are in the world. 

If any man love the world, 

the love of the Father is not in him. 

For all that is in the world, 

the lust of the flesh, 

and the lust of the eyes, 

and the pride of life,

 is not of the Father, but is of the world. 

1 John 2:15.16

Sabbath Glue in Hebrews 4: Inverse Relationship

Paul is talking about both Justification & Sanctification
The TWO go hand in hand as True Righteousness by Faith

*In Exodus 20:8-11

SANCTIFICATION/Obedience - (For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth,...But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work,..)
Physical Rest.
---Or--- as Paul says For He spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all His works. 

Hebrews 4:4

* In Deuteronomy 5:12-15
JUSTIFICATION/Grace - (And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.)
Spiritual Rest.
---Or--- as Paul says For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from His.
Hebrews 4:10

SUMMARY:

Sabbath is the Glue of God's Law....the Inverse Relationship of Justification & Sanctification
