SINLESS PERFECTION

FREEDOM FROM SIN IS POSSIBLE IN THE BODY AS WELL AS IN THE SOUL AND SPIRIT.

HOLINESS (SINLESSNESS) IS COMMANDED IN MANY VERSES

BOTH OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT.

Leviticus 11:44 For I [am] the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; ( SINLESS ) for I [am] holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Leviticus 11:45 For I [am] the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy (SINLESS), for I [am] holy (SINLESS).

Leviticus 19:2 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God [am] holy.

Leviticus 20:7 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy (SINLESS), for I [am] the LORD your God.

Leviticus 20:26 And ye shall be holy ( SINLESS) unto me: for I the LORD [am] holy, and have severed you from [other] people, that ye should be mine.

Numbers 15:40 That ye may remember, and do all my command-ments (STOP SINNING), and be holy (SINLESS) unto your God.

Psalms 4:3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

Psalms 4:4 Stand in awe, (and sin not): commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

Psalms 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear [me]:

Luke 1:75 In holiness and righteousness (THIS IS TOTAL OBEDIENCE – SINLESSNESS), before him, all the days of our life.

Romans 1:4 And declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

Romans 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified

(KILLED, WE DO NOT HAVE TO SIN) with [him], that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. (STOP SINNING).

Romans 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. (THIS IS TALKING ABOUT BEING DEAD TO SIN, THEREFORE WE DO NOT HAVE TO SIN).

Romans 6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body,

(BE SINLESS) that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: (SIN IS NOT YOUR MASTER. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SIN.) for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

Romans 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death (IF YOU CONTINUE TO SIN YOU DIE

A SPIRITUAL DEATH), or of obedience unto righteousness?

Romans 6:17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, (THAT YOU COULD NOT STOP SINNING), but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine (THE WHOLE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST) which was delivered you.

Romans 6:18 Being then made free from sin, (YOU CAN STOP SINNING) ye became the servants of righteousness.

Romans 6:19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. (TOTAL OBEDIENCE)

Romans 6:20 For when ye were the servants of sin, (WHEN YOU COULD NOT STOP SINNING), ye were free from righteousness.

Romans 6:21 What fruit had ye then in those things (SINS) whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things (SINS) [is] death. (EVERYONE DIES PHYSICALLY, SO THIS IS SPEAKING OF SPIRITUAL DEATH)

Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, (DO NOT HAVE TO SIN) and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, (CAN STOP SINNING) and the end everlasting life.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin [is] death; (IF YOU DON’T

STOP SINNING YOU WILL SURELY DIE SPIRITUALLY) but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 8:1 [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, (DO NOT SIN), but after the Spirit.

Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. (I DO NOT HAVE TO SIN).

Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin (SINNING) in the flesh:

Romans 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, (WHO DO NOT SIN), but after the Spirit.

Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. (YOU SIN

YOU REAP BAD, YOU DO GOOD, YOU WILL REAP GOOD)

Galatians 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh (CONTINUES TO SIN), shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that sowet to the Spirit (BECOMES OBEDIENT-STOPS SINNING), shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

Romans 8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. (CONTINUE TO SIN).

Romans 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, (CONTINUE TO SIN) ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, (STOP THE SINS), ye shall live.

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, (SINLESS ) acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service.

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: (DO NOT AGREE THAT WE CANNOT STOP SINNING) but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

I Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

I Corinthians 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, (CONTINUE TO SIN) him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, ( SINLESS ) which [temple] ye are.

I Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

I Corinthians 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, , (STOP SINNING) and in your spirit which are God’s.

I Corinthians 9:27 But I keep under my body, (CONTROL) and bring [it] into subjection: (STOP IT FROM SINNING) lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

II Corinthians 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

(SINLESS PERFECTION).

Ephesians 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame ( BE SINLESS ) before him in love:

Ephesians 4:20 But ye have not so learned Christ;

Ephesians 4:21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

Ephesians 4:22 That ye put off (STOP SINNING) concerning the former conversation (LIFE) the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

Ephesians 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

Ephesians 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, (STOP SINNING) which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. (SINLESSNESS)

Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

Ephesians 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

Ephesians 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; ( NO SIN ) but that it should be holy and without blemish. (SINLESS)

Colossians 1:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, [I say], whether [they be] things in earth, or things in heaven.

Colossians 1:21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in [your] mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled

Colossians 1:22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: (SINLESS)

Colossians 1:23 *[If]* ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and [be] not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, [and] which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;

Colossians 3:5 Mortify therefore your members (DO NOT SIN) which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

Colossians 3:6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

Colossians 3:9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off (STOPPED SINNING) the old man with his deeds; (SINS)

Colossians 3:10 And have put on the new [man], (STOPPED SINNING) which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him (GOD), that created him:

I Thessalonians 3:13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable (SINLESS), in holiness ( NO SIN ) before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

1Thessalonians 4:3 For this is the will of God, [even] your sanctification, (SINLESSNESS), that ye should abstain from fornication:

I Thessalonians 4:4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification (SINLESSNESS), and honour;

I Thessalonians 4:7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. (SINLESSNESS).

Titus 2:3 The aged women likewise, that [they be] in behaviour (SINLESS) as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

Titus 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, (SINLESS) in this present world;

Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all [men], and holiness,

(SINLESSNESS) without which no man shall see the Lord:

I Peter 1:15 But as he (GOD) which hath called you is holy,

(SINLESS), so be ye holy (SINLESS) in all manner of conversation;

I Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; (SINLESS), for I am holy. (SINLESS).

I Peter 3:10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, (SIN), and his lips that they speak no guile:

I Peter 3:11 Let him eschew (AVOID) evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.

I Peter 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord [are] over the righteous, and his ears [are open] unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord [is] against them that do evil. (SIN).

II Peter 2:14 Having eyes full of adultery, and [[that cannot cease from sin;]] beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed (SAVED OR NOT SAVED) children:

CURSED; 2671-GR. KATARA, KAT-AR-AH; IMPERCATION, TO

INVOKE (EVIL, A CURSE AND ETC.). EXECRATION, TO CURSE, TO LOATHE, TO ABHOR.

II Peter 3:11 [Seeing] then [that] all these things shall be dissolved, what manner [of persons] ought ye to be in [all] holy conversation and godliness, (SINLESS LIFESTYLE)

(WARNING)

1 John 1:7 But [if] we walk in the light, (SINLESS) as he (GOD) is in the light, (THEN) we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

I John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And [if] any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

I John 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

I John 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: (STOPS SINNING), whosoever sinneth (CONTINUES TO SIN), hath not seen him, neither known him.

I John 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, (STOPS SINNING), even as he is righteous.

I John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; (CONTINUES TO SIN AND TEACHES OTHERS THEY MUST), for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

(DID CHRIST FAIL?)

I John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; (CONTINUE TO SIN) for his (GOD’S) seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

I John 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, (SHOWN) and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteous-ness (CONTINUES TO SIN), is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

I John 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God when we love God, and keep his commandments. (BE OBEDIENT- STOP SINNING).

I John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: (STOP SINNING), and his commandments are not grievous.

I John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh (WHIPS) the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, [even] our faith.

I John 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; (IF YOU CONTEND THAT YOU CANNOT STOP SINNING, THE WORLD HAS OVERCOME YOU), but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. (THE DEVIL CANNOT MAKE HIM SIN).

II Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [hem is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. II Corinthians 5:18 And all things [are] of

God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

Romans 6:13 Neither yield ye your members (BODILY PARTS) [as] instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members [as] instruments of righteousness (SINLESS INSTRUMENTS) unto God.

IF YOU BECOME SUBJECT TO SIN AGAIN, IT IS BECAUSE OF YOUR CHOICE.

TWO DIRE (TERRIBLE) WARNINGS NOT TO GIVE YOUR OPINION CONCERNING THE WORD OF GOD. DO NOT ADD TO OR TAKE AWAY, ONLY, “THUS SAITH THE WORD OF GOD”.

Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues (SICKNESSES) that are written in this book:

Revelation 22:19 And [if any man] shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and [from] the things which are written in this book.

John 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. (DIRE WARNING).

John 8:35 – And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.

John 8:35

[servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever] The servant of sin does not abide in the house of the Lord for ever, but if we become free from sin we will abide with the Son of God in God’s house forever (Romans 6:16-23; John 14:1-3; John 15:1-6; 1 Thes. 4:16).

Romans 3:4 God forbid: yea, let ( THE WORD OF ) God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

II Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his.

And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. (LET EVERY CHRISTIAN DEPART FROM SIN. IF IT WERE

IMPOSSIBLE TO DEPART FROM SIN, (STOP SINNING), WOULD

JESUS HAVE COMMANDED US NOT TO SIN?)

Jeremiah 7:10 And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?

Jeremiah 9:3 And they bend their tongues [like] their bow

[for] lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the

earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not

me, saith the LORD. (IS GOD SAYING, THAT WE PROCEED FROM

EVIL TO EVIL WHEN WE KEEP ON SINNING? ARE WE LIARS WHEN

WE SAY WE CANNOT STOP SINNING?) DO WE MEAN WE DO NOT LOVE GOD ENOUGH TO STOP?

John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye

have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. ( JESUS )

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which

strengtheneth me. (THIS INCLUDES, “STOP SINNING”).

Genesis 17:1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine,

the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I [am] the

Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

PERFECT; 8549-HEB. TAMIYM, TAW-MEEM ENTIRE (LIT. FIG. OR

MOR.); ALSO (AS NOUN) INTERGITY, TRUTH: – WITHOUT BLEMISH,

COMPLETE, FULL, PERFECT, SOUND, WITHOUT SPOT, UNDEFILED,

UPRIGHT, WHOLE.

Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your

Father which is in heaven is perfect.

PERFECT; 5046 – GR. TELEOS – TEL-I-OS; COMPLETE (IN VARIOUS

APPLICATIONS OF LABOR, GROWTH, MENTAL AND MORAL CHARACTER).

(BOTH PERFECT’S HAVE THE SAME MEANING, THUS STATING

THAT WE ARE TO BE COMPLETE IN EVERY WAY AS GOD IS,

INCLUDING HOLINESS

IF GOD HAS PLACED US IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP SINNING HE CANNOT SEND US TO HELL AND STILL CLAIM TO BE JUST.

DO NOT ADD OR REMOVE A SINGLE WORD OR MEANING FROM THE BIBLE UNDER PENALTY OF HELL OR GREAT TRAGEDIES FROM GOD

COULD THE FOLLOWING VERSES POSSIBLY PROVE WHY MANY CHRISTIANS ARE SICK AND SELDOM GET A PRAYER ANSWERED?

I USE THE KING JAMES VERSION OF THE BIBLE BECAUSE THIS VERSION MAKES IT HARDER TO SIN AND GET TO HEAVEN THAN ANY OTHER VERSION.

I KNOW THIS FACT PLEASES GOD!

THESE FOUR VERSES PROVE WE HAVE DIRE WARNINGS FROM GOD NOT TO ADD OR TAKE AWAY A SINGLE WORD FROM THE ENTIRETY OF THE BIBLE, NOT JUST THE BOOK OF REVELATION AS SOME TEACH.

REV. 22:18, REV.22:19, DEU. 4:2, PROV. 30:6

Rev. 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, (ENTIRE BIBLE) If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues (MAKE HIM SICK) that are written in this book:

Rev. 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, (ENTIRE BIBLE) God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Deut. 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.

Proverbs 30:6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. REV21:8…..and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

THIS IS CONFUSING. THE PREACHER SAYS JESUS IS GOD. JESUS SAYS HE IS THE SON OF GOD. (JOHN 10:36 BELOW) I CANNOT FIND A SINGLE VERSE IN THE BIBLE WHERE JESUS SAYS HE IS GOD. WHO SHOULD I BELIEVE JESUS OR THE PREACHER. WHICH ONE IS LYING TO ME?

ONE VERSE IN THE BIBLE DOES NOT PROVE ANY OTHER VERSE WRONG. I PRAY NOT, FOR IF IT DOES WE HAVE NO HOPE!

John 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I (JESUS) said, I am the Son of God?

1 Peter 2:22 Who (JESUS) did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

GUILE MEANS DECEIT, DECEPTION, HALF-TRUTH, TRICKERY. IF JESUS IS GOD THE FATHER IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, FORM OR FASHION THEN THERE IS GUILE IN HIS MOUTH AND HE DID LIE AND SIN. IF HE DID LIE WHY WOULD HE? HE COULD JUST AS EASILY HAVE TOLD THE TRUTH.

IF YOU COULD HELP ME WITH THIS CONFUSION I WILL APPRECIATE IT, BUT PLEASE DO NOT GIVE AN EXPLANATION WITH SOME VERSES AND IGNORE OTHER VERSES THAT PROVE YOU WRONG (AS MANY TEACHERS DO). ALL VERSES MUST AGREE.

I AM UNDERSTANDING THE FOUR VERSES QUOTED ABOVE AS SAYING IF I DO NOT USE EVERY VERSE AS GOD HAD IT WRITTEN, IF I ADD TO OR TAKE AWAY, GOD WILL EITHER MAKE ME SICK OR SEND ME TO HELL.

ADVICE AND EXPLANATIONS PLEASE.

THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE.

GRACE IN THE GREEK

MOST PREACHERS AND TEACHERS TEACH THAT GRACE IS UNMERITED FAVOR. ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF TEACHING YOU ERROR. GOD HAD THE NEW TESTAMENT WRITTEN IN HELLENISTIC GREEK APPROX. 2000 YEARS AGO.

HERE IS THE DEFINITION OF GRACE FROM THE STRONG’S GREEK DICTIONARY. Strong’s Greek Dict. # 5485, charis, khar’-ece; from Greek 5463 (chairo); graciousness (as gratifying), of manner or act; especially the divine influence upon the heart, and its reflection in the life. No reflection in the life (in the form of good works for God including talking about, teaching and preaching the Word of God and leading people to salvation) means no divine influence upon the heart therefore no salvation.

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

IN EPHES. 2:8 “the gift of god” IS FAITH NOT GRACE.

Romans 12:3 (KJV)…..as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

“GRACE,” THE “DIVINE INFLUENCE UPON THE HEART (SPIRIT)” IS BROUGHT ABOUT IN YOUR LIFE BY YOUR PREACHER, YOUR MOTHER AND FATHER TEACHING YOU ABOUT GOD, YOU STUDYING, MEDITATING ON, TALKING ABOUT, PREACHING AND TEACHING THE WORD OF GOD, ALL OF WHICH YOU ARE COMMANDED BY GOD TO DO IN THE FOLLOWING VERSES: DEUT. 6:6-7; DEUT.11:19; JOSHUA 1:8; MATT. 28:19-20 MARK 16:15:

Deut. 6:6-7

And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

Deut. 11:19

And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

Joshua 1:8

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Matthew 28:19-20

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20Teaching them to observe ( TO DO ) all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Mark 16:15

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

2 Tim. 2:24

And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt (READY) to teach, patient, YOU HAD BETTER BE A SERVANT OF THE LORD (READY TO TEACH)

2 Tim. 4:2

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. THIS IS A COMMANDMENT!!!!

IF YOU DO NOT ACCOMPLISH THE ABOVE COMMANDMENTS YOU ARE TRYING TO BE A SILENT CHRISTIAN. THERE IS NO SUCH BEING. IF YOU AND I DO NOT PREACH, TEACH AND TALK ABOUT GOD AND HIS WORD WE ARE PROVING TO GOD THAT WE ARE ASHAMED OF HIM!!!! JUST GOING TO CHURCH WILL NOT DO.

HOW MANY HAVE YOU LED IN THE PRAYER OF SALVATION DURING YOUR LIFE? (YOU LED PERSONALLY, NOT JUST INVITING TO CHURCH) IF YOU HAVE NOT PERSONALLY HELPED JESUS GET SOMEONE SAVED BY LEADING THEM IN THE PRAYER OF SALVATION, HAS YOUR LIFE BEEN WASTED??

ABOVE: YOU ARE SAVED BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH. (You are not saved by works) BUT THE FOLLOWING VERSES DO SAY THAT FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD, SO THEREFORE IF YOU ARE NOT DOING GOOD WORKS YOU HAVE NO FAITH, SO THEREFORE, NO SALVATION.

James 2:18 (KJV) Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

James 2:20 (KJV) But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

James 2:26 (KJV) For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

New Testament Promises

All content below is exactly as it appeared on Frank’s website, nothing has been changed. Please ignore references to “call” or “email” Frank for obvious reasons.

NEW TESTAMENT PROMISES

ASK WHAT YOU WILL ( JOHN 15:7 )

THE PROMISE IS ” ASK WHAT YE WILL, ” PLAINLY TEACHING THAT ANSWERED PRAYER IS UP TO THE CHILD OF GOD AS TO WHAT HE WANTS. THIS IS IN PERFECT HARMONY WITH PROMISES OF BOTH TESTAMENTS. A TRUE CHRISTIAN CAN GET WHAT HE WANTS AS WELL AS WHAT HE NEEDS. ( PSALMS 23:1; 34:9-10; 84:11; MAT 7:7-11; 17:20; 18:18-20; 21:22; MARK 9:23; 11:22-24; JOHN 14:12-15; 15:7,16; 16:23-26; EPH 3:20; HEB 11:6; JAMES 1:5-8; 1 JOHN 3:21-22; 5:14-15 ) A PRAYER SAYING, ” IF IT BE THY WILL ” CONCERNING ANYTHING GOD HAS ALREADY PROMISED AND THEREFORE HAS ALREADY MADE IT CLEAR THAT IT IS HIS WILL, IS REALLY A PRAYER OF UNBELIEF. (DOUBT, SKEPTICISM) IT IS LIKE SAYING ” I KNOW YOU HAVE ALREADY PROMISED AND YOU HAVE MADE IT VERY CLEAR BY YOUR WORD THAT IT IS YOUR WILL, BUT DO YOU REALLY MEAN WHAT YOU SAY? ” WE INSULT GOD BY CONSTANTLY QUESTIONING HIS WILL THAT IS ALREADY REVEALED BY HIS WORD. IT IS NO LESS INSULTING TO HIM THAN IT WOULD BE TO A HUMAN FRIEND WHO HAD PROMISED SOMETHING AND WE CONTINUE TO QUESTION HIM ABOUT HIS WILL IN THE MATTER. WE WOULD NOT DARE DO THIS TO ANY EARTHLY FRIEND, THEN WHY DO IT TO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER WHO PROMISES HE WILL DO MORE FOR HIS CHILDREN THAN ANY EARTHLY PARENT. ( MAT 7:11; LUKE 11:13; ROMANS 8:32; JAMES 1:5 ).

GOD STATES THAT IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU WANT YOU CAN GET NOTHING FROM HIM !! (JAMES 1:6-8)

James 1:6-8 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth (IS UNSURE) is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded (UNCERTAIN ) man [is] unstable in all his ways.

Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Romans 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Luke 11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall [your] heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

ALL REFERENCED VERSES AND ALL THE NEW TESTAMENT PROMISES ARE PRINTED ON THE FOLLOWING PAGES.

NEW TESTAMENT PROMISES (REV.22:20)

SYNONYMS FOR THE WORD PROMISE AS USED BY GOD IN THE BIBLE: VOW, PLEDGE, GUARANTEE, COVENANT, CONTRACT, PACT, INTENT, ASSURANCE, WORD.

ALL THE PROMISES (VOWS) OF GOD ARE CONDITIONAL.

THERE ARE ALWAYS CONDITIONS YOU MUST MEET BEFORE GOD WILL FULFILL ONE OF HIS PROMISES (PLEDGES). STUDY 10-15 VERSES BEFORE AND AFTER EACH PROMISE (COVENANT) IN YOUR BIBLE TO DETERMINE THE ACTION THAT YOU MUST PERFORM BEFORE GOD ANSWERS THAT PROMISE (VOW). REMEMBER, CRITICAL), EACH PROMISE (CONTRACT) HAS REQUIREMENTS TO BE MET BEFORE GOD WILL ACT. BE ASSURED, IF YOU DO YOUR PART, GOD WILL DO HIS.

Hebrews 8:6 But now hath he (JESUS) obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he (JESUS) is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

II Peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine (GIVING) nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

I John 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

I John 5:15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions (THINGS) that we desired of him.

I John 3:22 And whatsoever (EVERYTHING) we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

II Corinthians 1:20 For all the promises (VOWS) of God in him [are] yea, (YES) and in him Amen (SO BE IT), unto the glory of God by us.

TONGUES—ALL DO NOT SPEAK IN….

All VERSES (KJV)

1 Cor. 12:4-30 Now there are diversities (DIFFERENT KINDS) of gifts, but the same Spirit.

[5] And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.

[6] And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

[7] But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

[8] For to one (NOT ALL) is given by the Spirit (HOLY GHOST) the word of wisdom; to another (not all) the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

[9] To another (not all) faith by the same Spirit; to another (not all) the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

[10] To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another (TO ANOTHER, NOT EVERYONE) divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

These dummy teachers that say you have to speak in tongues or you cannot go to heaven. Why do they not say sometimes that you have to be a worker of miracles to go to heaven? Because they have never seen anyone have the “gift of miracles.” They’ve never seen anyone have the “gift of healing.” It is easy to falsified tongues, but you cannot falsify the gift of healing or the gift of miracles There is no verse that says if you don’t speak in tongues you cannot go to heaven. It is a lie that many people like to believe in. It makes them feel superior.

[11] But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, (HOLY GHOST) dividing to every man severally (NOT ALL THE GIFTS BUT A FEW AS HE WISHES) as he (HOLY GHOST) will.

[12] For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. (Explanation of this verse: The body of Christ is made up of many people that all have different gifts. Not all the same gift, not all the gift of tongues.)

[13] For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

[14] For the body (OF CHRIST) is not one member, but many.

[15] If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

[16] And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? (Verse 15 and 16 are saying that you do not have to have any one particular gift to be part of the body of Christ.)

[17] If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

[18] But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. This verse says that God gives the spiritual gifts to every Christian as He pleases. Not as some dumb human thinks he should.

[19] And if they were all one member, (or one gift) where were the body?

[20] But now are they many members, yet but one body.

[21] And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

[22] Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:

[23] And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.

[24] For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:

[25] That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.

[26] And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

[27] Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

[28] And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

[29] Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? (No, Of Course Not)

[30] Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? ? (NO, OF COURSE NOT. THE HOLY GHOST DOES NOT GIVE EVERYONE ALL GIFTS. THE VERSES ABOVE SAY THAT HE GIVES A FEW TO EACH PERSON AS HE SEES FIT. SO FOR HIS OWN REASONS HE MIGHT CHOOSE NOT TO GIVE YOU THE GIFT OF TONGUES BUT DO NOT LET SOME IDIOT TELL YOU THAT WILL KEEP YOU OUT OF HEAVEN.)

HOW STUPID THE TEACHERS ARE THAT SAY “IF YOU DON’T SPEAK IN TONGUES YOU CANNOT GO TO HEAVEN”. ASK THE IDIOTS FOR A VERSE (KJV) AND WATCH THEM BEGIN TO GIVE ONLY THEIR FAULTY OPINIONS BUT NO VERSES.

The Genuineness and Authenticity of the Bible

All content below is exactly as it appeared on Frank’s website, nothing has been changed. Please ignore references to “call” or “email” Frank for obvious reasons.

The Genuineness and Authenticity of the Bible:

Genuineness defined. By genuineness we mean that the books of the Bible were actually written by the men whose names they bear, or that there is sufficient proof of their authorship, and that they were written at the time claimed.

Authenticity defined. By this we mean that the Bible relates truthfully the matters it deals with, and the contents are as originally written.

Six Proofs Bible Genuine and Authentic:

Claims of the Bible Itself:

(1) The prophets of the O.T. claimed they were sent by God and that their messages were given to them by God (Luke 1:70; 2 Peter 1:21). Over 2,500 times the prophets claimed that God spoke by them (Isaiah 8:5; Jeremiah 2:2; Ezekiel 2:4; etc.).

(2) The whole Bible centers around the person and work of Jesus Christ. In the O.T. we have hundreds of predictions, and in the N.T. we have the fulfillment and continuation of His life and ministry. He Himself claimed to have been sent by God (John 8:42; John 7:16; John 17:8). He performed miracles to confirm His mission (Acts 10:38); what He foretold came to pass and will yet come to pass. He put His seal upon the genuineness and authenticity of the O.T. (Matthew 5:17-18; Matthew 8:17; Matthew 12:40-42; Luke 24:44; John 5:39).

(3) The Bible also represents the commission of the apostles as divine. God confirmed their ministry by signs and wonders (Mark 16:15-20; Acts 2:41-46; Acts 5:1-15; Hebrews 2:1-4). In all their writings they confirmed the teachings of Christ, and their declaration thereof was by supernatural powers.

(4) The testimony of the N.T. to the genuineness and authenticity of the O.T. is plain to see. The O.T. is quoted about 250 times in the N.T., and alluded to about 850 times. All O.T. books are either quoted or alluded to except Esther, Ezra, Nehemiah, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon.

Testimony of Secular History: The events of Bible history were well known among all nations. Happenings of the N.T., having come to the knowledge of the then known world, were referred to by various secular authors of the first 4 centuries of the Christian era. Jerome, in A.D. 392, mentioned about 50 other authors as making quotations about and referring to N.T. events. They belonged to all parts of the world, but they agreed on one thing-that the Jewish scriptures were genuine and authentic, referring to them as a distinct volume universally received as such. No event in ancient history can produce more than a fraction of the evidence by which the Bible in its entirety is sustained as genuine and authentic.
Ancient Manuscripts: No original MS can be produced due to the perishable material written on, such as paper and vellum (skins of animals). However, because of the dry climate of Egypt and Palestine, many thousands of copies-whole books or parts thereof-have been preserved for us. It is not necessary to produce original MSS to prove the genuineness and authenticity of the Bible any more than it would be necessary to produce the original Declaration of Independence to prove the many copies we have contain the statements of the original. Scholars are willing to admit the genuineness and authenticity of other writings if there are as many as 10 copies of the originals to be found. On this basis the Bible can be proved genuine and authentic thousands of times.

Number of Manuscripts:

(1) Uncial Manuscripts. All letters of uncial copies are 1 in. high; they are the oldest MSS before the 9th century A.D.

Gospels 101

Acts; General Epistles 22

Pauline Epistles 27

Apocalypse (Revelation) 9

_____

Total 156

(2) Cursive Manuscripts. Cursive copies are those in running handwriting as introduced about the 9th century A.D. and used in Bible-making up to the invention of the printing press in A.D. 1456.

Gospels 1,420

Acts; General Epistles 450

Pauline Epistles 520

Apocalypse (Revelation) 195

_______

Total 2,585

Since the catalog of these MSS was made there have been many new discoveries of whole books and portions of the Bible-the Dead Sea scrolls of Isaiah and other ancient writings, for instance. Some Bible texts have been found which are at least 100-200 years earlier than the above. Besides these Greek MSS there are many in Syriac, Coptic, Latin, and other languages, of both testaments, some dating back to the 3rd century, B.C. In 1897 literally tons of papyri were found in the Nile valley about 120 mi. south of Cairo, thousands of pieces being written in the language of the N.T. In another discovery there were at least 1,000,000 papyri; of these many thousands have never been edited. Other collections have also been located, some dating back to A.D. 100-600, and new discoveries are being made all the time. A recent report says that there are about 5,000 Greek MSS of the N.T. in all, and from 20,000 to 30,000 in other languages besides 100,000 to 200,000 quotations in the writings of the early church fathers. See Patristic Quotations, point 5, below.

Uncial Manuscripts:

(1) Sinaiticus or Codex Aleph, dating back to the 4th century. It was discovered by Dr. Tischendorf in the St. Catherine convent on Mt. Sinai in 1859. It contains the whole Bible besides the Epistle of Barnabas and the Shepherd of Hermas, in part.

(2) Alexandrinus or Codex A, dating back to the 5th century. It contains the whole Bible, except for parts of Genesis, 1 Kings, Psalms, Matthew, John, and 2 Corinthians.

(3) Vaticanus or Codex B, dating back to the 4th century. It contains almost all of the O.T., and the N.T. down to Hebrews 9:14.

(4) Ephraem or Codex C, dating back to the 5th century. It contains part of the O.T. and all the N.T. books except 2 Thessalonians and 2 John.

(5) Bezae or Codex D, dating back to the 6th century. It is written in Greek and Latin parallel columns and contains most of the gospels, Acts, and the epistles.

(6) Claromontanus or Codex D, also in Greek and Latin like the Codex Bezae, and dating back to the 6th century. It contains most all the epistles.

Besides these there are many more dating back from the 6th to the 10th centuries which space will not permit the listing of.

Lectionaries: These are collections of the gospels and epistles for reading in churches, some dating back from the 7th to the 10th centuries. They help in determining the exact text. Of these there are more than 1,000 of the gospels and 300 of the Acts and epistles.

5 Patristic Quotations: These are quotations of the Bible by early Christian writers-those of the first 3 centuries. They help in determining the exact text, filling the gap between the time of the apostles and the earliest MSS of the 4th century. If the N.T. were destroyed it could be practically reproduced from these quotations of the early fathers alone. See The Ante-Nicene Fathers volumes.

6 Ancient Versions: The many ancient versions of Scripture in many languages, dating from the 3rd century B.C. to the 12th century A.D., add much to the proof of the genuineness and authenticity of the Bible.

(1) Septuagint in Greek, 3rd century B.C.

(2) Chaldee targum, paraphrases of portions of the O.T., 8th-11th centuries A.D.

(3) Samaritan Pentateuch, 1st or 2nd century A.D.

(4) Version of Aquila, Greek of the O.T. about A.D. 160

(5) Version of Theodotian, O.T. in Greek, 2nd century A.D.

(6) Version of Symachus, O.T. in Greek, 2nd century A.D.

(7) Peshitta Syriac version, 2nd century A.D.

(8) Arabic version, 8-12th century A.D.

(9) Armenian version, 5th century A.D.

(10) Egyptian version, 4th century A.D.

(11) Ethiopic version, 4th century A.D.

(12) Gothic version, 4th century A.D.

(13) Georgian version, 6th century A.D.

(14) Latin version, 4th century A.D.

(15) Persian version, 2nd century A.D.

The Bible text as we now have it is the same as that passed down through all these sources from the earliest times, so there should be no question in the mind of anyone regarding the genuineness and authenticity of the Scriptures.

The Commandments of Jesus Christ

All content below is exactly as it appeared on Frank’s website, nothing has been changed. Please ignore references to “call” or “email” Frank for obvious reasons.

THE COMMANDMENTS OF JESUS CHRIST

PREAMBLE: NEW TESTAMENT COMMANDMENTS

Matthew 28:18-20 (KJV) And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me (JESUS) in heaven and in earth.

[19] Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

[20] Teaching them to observe (DO) all things whatsoever I (JESUS) have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

AUTHORITY FOR PAUL TO WRITE THE MAJORITY OF THE NEW TESTAMENT AND RELAY JESUS’ COMMANDMENTS TO YOU: Acts 9:15 (KJV) But the Lord said unto him, (ANANIAS) Go thy way: for he (PAUL) is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

1 Cor. 14:37 (KJV) If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I (PAUL) write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.

LUKE 6:46 AND WHY CALL YE ME (JESUS) , LORD, LORD, AND DO NOT THE THINGS WHICH I SAY ?
1 JOHN 2:3 AND HEARBY WE DO KNOW THAT WE KNOW HIM (JESUS), IF WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS.

1 JOHN 2:4 HE THAT SAITH, I KNOW HIM (JESUS), AND KEEPETH NOT HIS COMMANDMENTS, IS A LIAR, AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN HIM. (REV 21:8)
REV 22:14 BLESSED ARE THEY THAT DO HIS ( JESUS’) COMMANDMENTS, THAT THEY MAY HAVE RIGHT TO THE TREE OF LIFE, AND MAY ENTER IN THROUGH THE GATES INTO THE CITY.

JOHN 14:15 IF YE LOVE ME (JESUS), KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.

JOHN 14:21 HE THAT HATH MY COMMANDMENTS, AND KEEPETH THEM, HE IT IS THAT LOVETH ME: (JESUS) AND HE THAT LOVETH ME “JESUS” SHALL BE LOVED OF MY FATHER, AND I WILL LOVE HIM, AND WILL MANIFEST MYSELF TO HIM.
JOHN 14:23 IF A MAN LOVE ME, “JESUS” HE WILL KEEP MY WORDS: AND MY FATHER WILL LOVE HIM, AND WE WILL COME UNTO HIM, AND MAKE OUR ABODE WITH HIM.
JOHN 14:24 HE THAT LOVETH ME “JESUS ” NOT KEEPETH NOT MY SAYINGS: AND THE WORD WHICH YOU HEAR IS NOT MINE, “JESUS’ ” BUT THE FATHER’S WHICH SENT ME.

JOHN 15:10 IF YE KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, “JESUS’ ” YE SHALL ABIDE IN MY LOVE: EVEN AS I HAVE KEPT (DIFFERENTIATION) MY FATHER’S COMMANDMENTS, AND ABIDE IN HIS LOVE.

[THIS VERSE PLAINLY STATES THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD AND THE COMMANDMENTS OF JESUS CHRIST.]

JOHN 15:14 YE ARE MY FRIENDS, IF YE DO WHATSOEVER (EVERYTHING) I (JESUS) COMMAND YOU.
1 JOHN 3:22 AND WHATSOEVER (EVERYTHING) WE ASK, WE RECEIVE OF HIM, “JESUS” BECAUSE WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, AND DO THOSE THINGS THAT ARE PLEASING IN HIS “JESUS’ ” SIGHT.

NOW, CONCERNING PAUL: ACTS 9:15 BUT THE LORD “JESUS” SAID UNTO HIM, GO THY WAY: FOR HE ( PAUL ) IS A CHOSEN VESSEL UNTO ME, “JESUS” TO BEAR MY NAME BEFORE THE GENTILES, AND KINGS, AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL.
IN THE VERSE ABOVE ” TO BEAR MY NAME BEFORE THE GENTILES, AND KINGS, AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL ” IS A HEBREW IDIOM MEANING THAT JESUS HAS CHOSEN PAUL TO GIVE THE WORLD THE COMMANDMENTS AND KNOWLEDGE THAT HE (JESUS) WANTS THEM TO HAVE.

1 COR.14:37 IF ANY MAN THINK HIMSELF TO BE A PROPHET, OR SPIRITUAL, LET HIM ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE THINGS THAT I (PAUL) WRITE UNTO YOU ARE THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD (JESUS CHRIST, NOT GOD).
THERE ARE 1050 COMMANDS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT (THE COMMANDMENTS OF JESUS CHRIST) FOR CHRISTIANS TO OBEY. DUE TO REPETITIONS WE CAN CLASSIFY THEM UNDER ABOUT 800 HEADINGS. THEY COVER EVERY PHASE OF MAN’S LIFE IN HIS RELATIONSHIP TO GOD AND HIS FELLOW MEN. IF OBEYED THEY WILL BRING RICH REWARDS HERE AND FOREVER; IF DISOBEYED THEY WILL BRING CONDEMNATION AND ETERNAL PUNISHMENT. THEY ARE NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE TEN COMMANDMENTS WHICH WERE ABOLISHED WITH THE LAW OF MOSES.

GOD’S DESIRE FOR HIS CHILDREN DURING THEIR EARTHLY WALK

THIS LIE ABOUT GOD AFFLICTING HIS OWN CHILDREN IS “THE” MOST DAMNABLE HERESY (AMONG MANY) TAUGHT BY THE IGNORANT IN THE BODY OF CHRIST.

GOD DOES NOT WISH HIS CHILDREN TRIALS, PROBLEMS AND DISEASE.

THE FOLLOWING ARE RANDOM VERSES INDICATING GOD’S DESIRE FOR HIS CHILDREN DURING THEIR EARTHLY WALK.

ALL VERSES KJV

Romans 2:10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:

Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

I Corinthians 3:21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;

Ephesians 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power (RIGHTEOUSNESS, SEE MAT.6:33) that worketh in us,

Ephesians 6:3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

II Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

II Peter 1:3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

II Peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: (BY GOD TO HIS CHILDREN) that by these ye might be partakers of the divine, (LOVING NOT SADISTIC AND TORTUROUS AS SOME TEACH) nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. (PLACE THIS VERSE DEEP INTO YOUR SOUL)

GOD’S DESIRES FOR HIS CHILDREN UNDER THE NEW COVENANT (NEW TESTAMENT) ARE AS GREAT OR GREATER THAN THEY WERE FOR THE OLD TESTAMENT PROPHETS.

DEU 6:10 And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,

DEU 6:11 And houses full of all good [things], which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;

DEU 26:11 And thou shalt rejoice in every good [thing] which the LORD thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that [is] among you.

THE FOLLOWING SEVEN VERSES CONTAIN THE THREE GREATEST PROMISES THAT GOD HAS GIVEN TO HIS CHILDREN TO BE USED DURING THEIR EARTHLY WALK.

1 John 3:21-22 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.

[22] And whatsoever (EVERYTHING) we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

1 John 5:14-15 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

[15] And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions (ANSWERS) that we desired of him.

John 15:7 If ye abide in (ACCORD AND AGREEMENT WITH NOT INSIDE OF) me, and my words abide (LIVE) in you, ye shall ask what ye will (ANYTHING YOU WISH), and it shall be done unto you.

James 1:16-17 Do not err, my beloved brethren.

[17] Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness (AMERICAN HERITAGE DICT. LIKELY TO CHANGE OR VARY, subject to variation; changeable; Inconstant; fickle; to deviate.) neither shadow of turning.

JAMES 1:16-17 ABOVE, PROVES THAT IN THE NEW TESTAMENT JESUS (MAT. 28:18) DOES NOT CAUSE YOU PROBLEMS TODAY AND THEN SOLVE THEM TOMORROW; MAKE YOU SICK TODAY AND THEN HEAL YOU TOMORROW; THAT WOULD BE VARIABLENESS.

NO ONE CAN CLAIM TO BE A BIBLE BELIEVING CHRISTIAN AND NOT SUPPORT THE DEATH PENALTY FOR A MURDER.

GOD SAYS IN ALL OF THE QUOTED KJV SCRIPTURES THE ONLY WAY TO CLEANSE YOUR NATION, IN HIS EYES, OF THE GUILT OF SHEDDING INNOCENT BLOOD (of the victims) IS TO KILL THE MURDERER!!!!

GOD COMMANDS THE DEATH PENALTY.

Genesis 9:6 (KJV) Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. IN THIS VERSE GOD ENDORSES AND COMMANDS CAPITOL PUNISHMENT (THE DEATH PENALTY) FOR A MURDERER.

Exodus 21:14 (KJV) But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.

Numbers 35:16 (KJV) And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.

Numbers 35:17 (KJV) And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.

Numbers 35:18 (KJV) Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.

IN THE NEW TESTAMENT GOD REQUIRES THE SAME PUNISHMENT FOR MURDER: Galatians 6:7 (KJV) Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. THIS VERSE MEANS IF YOU COMMIT MURDER YOU SHALL BE KILLED TO CLEANSE THE ENTIRE NATION OF THE GUILT OF SHEDDING INNOCENT BLOOD.

IN THE NEW TESTAMENT VERSE ABOVE, GALATIANS 6:7, GOD GIVES YOU TOTAL CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE. BY A PROMISE OF “THE HOLY ONE, THE INHABITER OF ETERNITY” IF YOU GO THROUGH LIFE DOING NOTHING BUT GOODNESS YOU WILL REAP NOTHING BUT GOODNESS, IF YOU GO THROUGH LIFE DOING NOTHING BUT BADNESS YOU WILL REAP NOTHING BUT BADNESS. THE MAJORITY OF US ARE STUPID AND GO THROUGH LIFE DOING BOTH GOOD AND BAD SO WE SHOULD BE INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO ADMIT THAT WE HAVE BROUGHT THE BAD UPON OURSELVES AND DESERVE IT. STOP BLAMING GOD FOR THE EVIL WE BRING UPON OURSELVES.

TO STUDY A THIRTY PAGE THESIS SCRIPTURALLY (MORE THAN FIFTY SCRIPTURES) PROVING THAT GOD HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BAD THINGS IN THE LIVES OF HIS CHILDREN. (CHRISTIANS) HE DOES NOT CAUSE OR ALLOW THEM. GO TO (GOOGLE) THEN IN GALATIANS 6:7 GOD SAYS IF SOMEONE COMMITS MURDER HE SHALL BE KILLED BY THE POWERS THAT BE (OUR GOVERNMENT OR A RELATIVE OF THE VICTIM ) FOR THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO CLEANSE OUR COUNTRY FROM THE SIN OF ALLOWING THE SHEDDING OF INNOCENT BLOOD (of the victims).

Numbers 35:19 (KJV) The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.
JOSHUA 20:1-6, READ TO UNDERSTAND THE “REVENGER OF BLOOD”.

Numbers 35:20-21 (KJV) But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die;

²¹Or in enmity (HATRED) smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.

Deut. 21:9 (KJV) So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the Lord.

IN DEUT.21:9 IN THE VERSES ABOVE AND BELOW GOD SAYS IF YOU PUT THE MURDERER TO DEATH, AS HE COMMANDS, YOU SHALL PUT AWAY THE GUILT OF INNOCENT BLOOD (OF THE VICTIMS) FROM YOUR NATION. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY IN THE MIND OF GOD!!!!!

Deut. 19:10

That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee.

Deut. 19:13

Thine eye shall not pity him, (THE MURDERER) but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, (BY KILLING THE MURDERER) that it may go well with thee.

Deut. 21:8-9

Be merciful, O Lord, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel’s charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them. [9] So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do that which is right (BY KILLING THE MURDERER) in the sight of the Lord.

1 Samuel 19:5

For he (DAVID) did put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the Lord wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?

1 Kings 2:31

And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father.

2 Kings 21:16

Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.

2 Kings 24:4

And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the Lord would not pardon.

Psalm 94:21

They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

Psalm 106:38

And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.

Proverbs 6:17

A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, THESE ARE THREE THINGS GOD SAYS HE HATES. IN PROVERBS 6:16-19 GOD NAMES SEVEN THINGS HE HATES.

Isaiah 59:7

Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.

Jeremiah 7:6

If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:

Jeremiah 22:3

Thus saith the Lord; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.

Jeremiah 22:17

But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it.

Jeremiah 26:15

But know ye for certain, that if ye put me (JEREMIAH) to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth the Lord hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears.

Joel 3:19

Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.

Jonah 1:14

Wherefore they cried unto the Lord, and said, We beseech thee, O Lord, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man’s life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O Lord, hast done as it pleased thee.

GOD SAYS IN ALL OF THE QUOTED KJV SCRIPTURES THE ONLY WAY TO CLEANSE OUR NATION, IN HIS EYES, OF THE GUILT OF SHEDDING INNOCENT BLOOD (OF THE VICTIMS) IS TO KILL THE MURDERER!!!! THERE IS NO OTHER WAY. (JAIL DOES NOT FULFILL THE REQUIREMENT OF GOD) GOD COMMANDS THE DEATH PENALTY

I USE THE KING JAMES VERSION OF THE BIBLE BECAUSE IT BEARS DOWN ON SIN HARDER THAN ANY OTHER VERSION, MAKES IT HARDER TO SIN AND GET TO HEAVEN. I KNOW THIS FACT PLEASES GOD FOR HE HATES SIN.

A FEW WORDS OF WISDOM: STUDY (2 TIMOTHY 2:15, A COMMANDMENT FROM GOD) THE BIBLE AND LIVE BY WHAT IT SAYS TO YOU. (THIS WILL DETERMINE YOUR ETERNAL DESTINATION, HEAVEN OR HELL ) DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT ANYONE ELSE TELLS YOU IT SAYS, IF YOU DO YOU ARE A FOOL.

BE ASSURED, ONE DAY YOU WILL STAND FACE TO FACE WITH GOD FOR A ONE ON ONE JUDGMENT AND HE WILL JUDGE YOU ACCORDING TO WHAT YOU DID WITH THE BIBLE NOT ACCORDING TO WHAT SOME IDIOT TOLD YOU TO DO WITH IT!!!

Philip. 2:12 (KJV) Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my (PAUL’S) presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

Phil. 2:12

^{a [obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence,}^{work out your own salvation with fear and trembling}^]^{This is true working out your own salvation until it is completed (Romans 6:22; Romans 8:23; Phil. 3:21; 1 Peter 1:5-13).}

^{b [fear and trembling] Why fear and trembling if there is no possibility of a fall and a failure? See 1 Cor. 9:27; 1 Cor. 10:12-14; Hebrews 6:4-9; Hebrews 10:26-39; 2 Peter 2:20-22.}

So-Called Mystery of the Trinity Clarified

All content below is exactly as it appeared on Frank’s website, nothing has been changed. Please ignore references to “call” or “email” Frank for obvious reasons.

SO-CALLED MYSTERY OF THE TRINITY CLARIFIED

1PET 2:22 (JESUS) Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: TO UNDERSTAND THE TRINITY YOU MUST FIRST UNDERSTAND THE DEFINITION OF THE WORD GUILE: IN THE GREEK: dolos, Greek 1388, Strong’s Greek Dict., dol’-os; from an obsolete primary dello meaning to decoy; a trick (bait), i.e. (figurative) wile :- craft, deceit, deceive, guile, subtilty.(to fool)

GUILE IN ENGLISH: AMERICAN HERITAGE DICT. guile (gºl) n. 1. Treacherous cunning; skillful deceit. 2. Obsolete. A trick or stratagem, half-truth. –guile tr.v. guiled, guil·ing, guiles. Archaic. To beguile; deceive.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THE WORD “GUILE” IN 1PET 2:22 (ABOVE) IN BOTH GREEK AND ENGLISH MEANS: LIE, HALF-TRUTH, TRICK, DECEIVE, FOOL, MISLEAD.

IN THE VERSE BELOW (JOHN 10:36) IF JESUS IS ANY MORE OR LESS THAN THE “SON OF GOD” HE DID HAVE GUILE IN HIS MOUTH. IF HE IS ALSO GOD HE TOLD US A HALF-TRUTH, DECEIVED US, LIED, AND MADE THIS VERSE ONLY PART TRUTH. TO DECEIVE A PERSON IS A SIN. A HALF-TRUTH IS AN UNTRUTH WHICH IS A LIE.

JOHN 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the World, thou blasphemest; because I (Jesus) said, I am the son of god?

READ ON: MANY VERSES TO EXPLAIN THE TRINITY, CLEARLY. AS YOU READ, KEEP THIS IN MIND. GOD HAD THE BIBLE WRITTEN TO SAY EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTED IT TO SAY. HE DID NOT SAY ONE THING AND MEAN SOMETHING ELSE. AN EXAMPLE: GOD MENTIONS HIS BODILY PARTS (HANDS, FEET, HEAD, EYES, ETC.) MORE THAN 500 TIMES IN THE BIBLE. ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION, DID GOD MENTION HIS BODY PARTS MORE THAN 500 TIMES TO TRY TO CONVINCE YOU HE DOES NOT HAVE THEM, AS MOST TEACH?? THINK HOW RIDICULOUS THAT SOUNDS.

THE PEOPLE THAT TEACH YOU SUCH THINGS ARE IMPLYING THAT GOD IS STUPID. IF HE DOES NOT HAVE A BODY HE WOULD HAVE MADE A STATEMENT IN ONE SENTENCE ” I DO NOT HAVE A BODY.”

The Trinity

Eighteen Fallacies: (ERROR, UNTRUTH, FALSE BELIEF)

That there is only one Person or one Being called “God.”

That there is a difference in meaning of three human Persons and three divine persons.

That the terms Father, Son, and Holy Spirit refer to three manifestations of one Person or one Being.

That the Father is the only Person who is divine; the Son was created by the Father; and the Holy Spirit was created by the Son (Arianism).

That God consists of three Persons in one Person or three Beings in one Being.

That the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are essential parts of one Being, just as man is made up of body, soul, and spirit.

That God is a complex Person and so it is folly to seek to explain the Trinity.

That the Trinity is beyond human comprehension and bewilders the most learned.

That the Trinity is not an Old Testament revelation.

That God has no body, physical parts, or passions like human beings-nothing of a bodily nature.

That God is invisible reality and cannot be seen by natural eyes.

That God is a universal mind, conscience, love, goodness, and power filling all space and matter.

That there is nothing on earth to resemble Him.

That God cannot be comprehended by the senses but by the soul, for He is above sense perceptions.

The image of God consists only of moral and spiritual likeness.

That all statements of God having a body with physical parts are mere figures of speech conveying some idea of God to man. (Anthropomorphism)

That Jesus Christ is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

That Jesus is the one God and Jehovah of the Old Testament.

All such statements are unscriptural in the extreme and are contradicted by thousands of plain passages about God. Why would God tell us that all invisible things are clearly seen by visible things on earth, even to His eternal power and Godhead (Romans 1:20), if He is incomprehensible; if there is nothing on earth to resemble Him; if He is a bodiless being; if He is three beings in one being; if His image is only moral and spiritual; if descriptions of His body and physical parts are not true and real; and if He is an invisible nothingness floating in nowhere? If this is what God is, why did He not say this instead of what He did say? Is it possible that He does not speak to us in plain human language? Or, is it more reasonable that the church and false religions are in error and that God does mean what He says about Himself? Who gave man the right to change the Bible from a literal to an imaginative meaning? If statements about God are mere figures of speech trying to convey some idea of Him, what ideas do they convey? That He does not have a body with physical parts, or that He does? That He is less real than His creations, or that He is as real? It would be unlike God to say over 20,000 things about Himself if He did not have a personal body, soul and spirit as stated.

Eighty-nine Proofs of a Divine Trinity:

What we mean by Divine Trinity is that there are three separate and distinct persons in the Godhead, each one having His own personal spirit body, personal soul, and personal spirit in the same sense each human being, angel, or any other being has his own body, soul, and spirit. We mean by body, whether a spirit body or a flesh body, the house for the indwelling of the personal soul and spirit. The soul is that which feels and the spirit is that which knows.

The doctrine of the Trinity can be clearly seen, being understood by the visible things that are made, even to His eternal power and Godhead (Romans 1:20). What on earth was created in the image and likeness of God? Man (Genesis 1:26-28). Do God’s image and likeness consist only of moral and spiritual powers? If so, it can be concluded that man is only a moral and spiritual being. Is God bodiless? If so, we can conclude that man is also bodiless.

Is God only one being made up of several persons or beings in the one being? If so, we can conclude that man is one person or being made up of many. Does God need a flesh body in order to have any kind of body? No! There are such things as spirit and heavenly bodies. See 1 Cor. 15:35-38. From this passage we learn that all things in creation-grain, fish, birds, beasts, man, angels, and even the planets-have bodies, sizes, shapes, and forms.

The Bible declares that God has a body, shape, image, likeness, physical parts, a personal soul and spirit, and all other things that constitute a being or a person with a body, soul, and spirit.

Angels, cherubim, seraphim, and all other spirit beings have spirit bodies and personal souls and spirits. They have been seen with the natural eyes of men over 100 times in Scripture. If all other spirit beings have spirit bodies, could not the members of the Trinity also have spirit bodies? The 284 passages on spirits in Scripture prove that spirit bodies are just as real and capable of operation in the material worlds as are flesh bodies. There is no such thing as a world of creations made up of invisible substance. The so-called spirit world must be understood simply as spirit beings inhabiting material worlds created by God. Heaven itself is a material planet (Genesis 1:1; Hebrews 11:10-16), having cities, mansions, furniture, inhabitants, living conditions, etc.

God has been seen physically by human eyes many times (Genesis 18:1-33; Genesis 19:24; Genesis 32:24-30; Exodus 24:11>; Joshua 5:13-15; Judges 6:11-23; Judges 13:3-25; 1 Chron. 21:16-17; Job 42:5; Isaiah 6; Ezekiel 1:26-28; Ezekiel 10:1,20; Ezekiel 40:3; Daniel 7:9-14; Daniel 10:5-10; Acts 7:56-59; Rev. 4:2-5; Rev. 5:1,5-7,11-14; Rev. 6:16; Rev. 7:9-17; Rev. 19:4; Rev. 21:3-5; Rev. 22:4).

In over 20,000 references about God in Scripture we get to know all we need to know about the subject. If we will take the Bible literally as to what it says about Him, as we do with other things the subject will be very clear; but if we make God a mystery, ignoring the plain statements of Scripture about Him, and refusing to believe the many descriptions of God given by those who have seen one, two, and three separate persons called “God,” then we will remain in ignorance.

It is true there are a few figurative statements about God in Scripture, as there are about man and other things, but shall we do away with the reality of man and these other things because of a few figures of speech? Let us make man mere salt and lights (Matthew 5:13-14), if we are going to do away with God because of a few figures of speech.

We submit the following facts in Scripture to prove a Divine Trinity of separate persons in the Godhead:

The word “one” means one in unity as well as one in number. It means unity in 1 John 5:7, as it does in John 17:11,21-23, and yet these three Persons, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, are spoken of as one each in number and individuality in Scripture. There is one God the Father, one Lord Jesus Christ, and one Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 8:6; Ephes. 4:3-6). Thus, there are three separate Persons in divine individuality and divine pluralty. The Father is called God (1 Cor. 8:6), the Son is called God (Isaiah 9:6,7; Hebrews 1:8; John 1:1-2; John 20:28), and the Holy Spirit is called God (Acts 5:3-4). As individual persons each can be called God and collectively they can be spoken of as one God because of their perfect unity. The word “God” is used either as a singular or a plural word, like sheep.

Everything that could be spoken of God collectively applies equally to each member of the Godhead as an individual, but there are some things that are said of each person of the Deity as to position, office, and work that could not be spoken as of the other members of the Godhead. The Father is the head of Christ (1 Cor. 11:3); the Son is the only begotten of the Father (2 John 1:3), and the Holy Spirit proceeds from both the Father and the Son (John 14:16,26; John 15:26; John 16:7-15; Acts 2:34).

Names of God prove plurality of persons. The Hebrew: Elohiym (OT:430) is the word for God in Genesis 1:1 and in over 2,700 other places in the Old Testament It is a uni-plural noun meaning Gods and is so translated 239 times (Genesis 3:5; Exodus 22:28; 1 Samuel 4:8; Daniel 2:11; Daniel 4:6-9; Daniel 5:11,14; etc.). Sometimes ‘Elohiym is used with plural verbs and pronouns, “the Gods they caused me to wander” (Genesis 20:13), and “there the Gods they appeared unto him” (Genesis 35:7).

Plural pronouns are used of God, proving plurality of persons (Genesis 1:26; Genesis 3:22; Genesis 11:7; Isaiah 6:8; John 14:23; John 17:11,22-23).

First, second, and third personal pronouns are used hundreds of times in Scripture, referring to one, two, and three persons of the Godhead in the same sense they are used of men. Sometimes the different members of the Deity use them to and of one another in the same sense man uses them. In John 17 alone Jesus uses them 162 times in speaking to and of His Father (cp. John 14:16-17,26; John 15:26; John 16:7-15). Sometimes singular pronouns are used of the whole Godhead of three members as a unity (Exodus 20:3; Isaiah 44:6,8; Isaiah 45:5,21; Isaiah 46:9; Hosea 13:4), just like the whole church as a unit is spoken of as a man and “he” (Ephes. 2:14-15; Ephes. 4:13; Ephes. 5:25-27; 2 Thes. 2:7-8).

“Man is become as one of us” proves plurality of persons (Genesis 3:22).

Two and three Persons called God have been seen by the same men at the same time and places as being separate persons (Daniel 7:9-14; Matthew 3:16-17; John 1:31-34; Acts 7:54-60; Rev. 6:16; Rev. 7:9-17; Rev. 21:22; Rev. 22:3).

Two Lords are mentioned in Genesis 19:24; one on earth and one in heaven.

Two Persons are referred to in the Old Testament See Psalm 8:5-6 with Hebrews 2:5-18; Psalm 16:8-10 with Acts 2:25-36; Psalm 22:1-22 with Matthew 27:35,39-43,45-46; Hebrews 9:14; Hebrews 10:5-12; Psalm 40:6-10 with Hebrews 10:5-7; and Psalm 45:6-7 with Hebrews 1:8-9.

Two Lords are mentioned sitting side by side (Psalm 110:1,5; Matthew 22:44; Matthew 26:64; Acts 2:33-34; Acts 7:54-56; Romans 8:34; Ephes. 1:20; Col. 3:1; Hebrews 1:3,13; Hebrews 8:1; Hebrews 10:12; Hebrews 12:2; 1 Peter 3:22; Rev. 22:3).

Two Persons are mentioned and required in order to understand the plain language of Psalm 2; Psalm 9:19; Psalm 132:17; Proverbs 30:4; Isaiah 4:2; Isaiah 10:16-17; Isaiah 28:16; Isaiah 49:1-10; Isaiah 50:4-11; Isaiah 52:13-53:12; Isaiah 62:11; Micah 5:1-5; Jeremiah 23:4-8; Jeremiah 33:14-26; Zech. 3:8-10; Zech. 6:12-13. In these passages one is anointed, becomes the son of, is sent by, is taught by, and becomes the servant of the other; and both are called Lord.

Three self-acting Persons-the Lord God, the Messiah, and the Holy Spirit-are referred to as blessing, anointing, sending, and doing things for one another in Isaiah 11:2; Isaiah 42:1-7; Isaiah 48:16; Isaiah 59:21; Isaiah 61:1-2; Isaiah 63:1-14; Zech. 12:10-13:2.

In Zech. 1:7-21 the Lord of Hosts and the angel of the Lord (also called Lord, Zech. 1:19-20; Zech. 2:1-13) are talking together. One Lord says of the other Lord that He has sent Him to Israel (Zech. 2:8-13). One Lord refers to Himself as “Me” and to the Lord of Hosts as “His” and “He” (Zech. 2:8-11). The conference continues throughout Zechariah until Zech. 13:6-7 where both Lords are called fellows or associate.

Jesus Christ is called the son of Abraham, David, Mary, and of God (Matthew 1:1; Mark 1:1; Mark 6:3). He is just as much a separate person from God as He is of these other persons.

Two Persons are referred to many times in the New Testament (Matthew 11:27; Luke 23:46; John 1:1-2,18; John 5:19-20; John 14:1-9; John 16:15; John 17:3,10; Acts 2:38-39; Acts 3:13-26; Phil. 2:5-11; Ephes. 3:5; Col. 1:5; 2 Thes. 2:16-17; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 1:1-3; Rev. 20:6; Rev. 22:3).

Two and three Persons are mentioned in the introductions to New Testament books (Romans 1:1-4,7; 1 Cor. 1:3; James 1:1; 1 Peter 1:1-3; 2 John 1:3; Rev. 1:1-6; etc.).

God is the head of Christ and thus greater than He in position (1 Cor. 3:23; 1 Cor. 11:3; 1 Chron. 29:11; John 14:28).

Christ is the mediator between God and man, not between Himself and man (1 Tim. 2:5).

Two and three Persons are referred to in every New Testament book (Matthew 3:16-17; Matthew 12:31-32; Matthew 17:5; Matthew 22:43-45; Matthew 28:19; Mark 1:1-2,10; Mark 13:32; Luke 1:32-35; Luke 2:40,52; Luke 3:22; Luke 4:1; Luke 4:18; Luke 9:35; Luke 23:46; Luke 24:39 with John 4:24; John 1:1-3,14,18; John 5:17-25,31-38; John 6:37,44-46,57; John 7:16-18,28,37-39; John 8:13-19,26-38,42,54; John 10:15-18,24,29,36; John 12:26-31,44,49-50; John 14:1-26,28-30; John 15:1-26; John 16:1-33; John 17:1-26; John 18:11; John 20:17,21; John 18:11; John 20:17,21; Acts 1:7-8; Acts 2:24-36; Acts 3:13-26; Acts 4:10,26-31; Acts 5:29-33; Acts 7:37,55-56; Acts 8:12-17; Acts 9:17; Acts 10:38-48; Acts 17:31; Romans 1:3,7,9; Romans 5:1-11; Romans 8:1-13,26-39; 1 Cor. 1:3-9; 1 Cor. 2:10; 1 Cor. 3:23; 1 Cor. 8:6; 1 Cor. 11:3; 1 Cor. 12:3; 1 Cor. 15:57; 2 Cor. 1:2-3; 2 Cor. 5:17-21; 2 Cor. 13:14; Galatians 1:1-3; Ephes. 1:2-3; Ephes. 3:14; Ephes. 4:3-6; Ephes. 6:23; Phil. 1:2; Phil. 2:5-11; Col. 1:2-3,13-19; Col. 3:1; 1 Thes. 1:1-10; 1 Thes. 3:13; 2 Thes. 1:1-2; 2 Thes. 2:16; 1 Tim. 1:2; 1 Tim. 2:5; 1 Tim. 5:21; 1 Tim. 6:14-16; 2 Tim. 1:2; 2 Tim. 4:1; Titus 1:4; Titus 2:13; Philemon 1:3. In no conceivable way can we force a meaning of three persons in one person; three beings in one being; or three manifestations of only one person in any of these or any other scripture.

There are three distinct and separate witnesses that bear witness of Christ (1 John 5:5-11,13,20). Both God and man require this many personal and separate witnesses to confirm any point (Matthew 18:16; 2 Cor. 13:1). The water and blood of 1 John 5:8 could not be accepted as accredited personal witnesses to confirm any point (Matthew 18:16; 2 Cor. 13:1). The water and blood of 1 John 5:8 could not be accepted as accredited personal witness in themselves. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are the only personal witnesses of this passage. If we consider these to be only one person, then there are not the required number of witnesses to establish the truth of the Sonship of Jesus Christ. We are forced by facts to admit all of 1 John 5:7-8 as inspired Scripture and therefore, the fact that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are three separate and personal witnesses instead of being only one person or witness. Indeed, many scriptures confirm these three witnesses:

(1) The Father (Jeremiah 29:23; Malachi 3:5; John 5:31-37; Romans 1:9; Hebrews 1:1-2; Hebrews 2:3-4)

(2) The Son (Isaiah 55:4; John 18:37; 1 Tim. 6:13; Rev. 1:5)

(3) The Holy Spirit (Romans 8:16; John 15:26; Hebrews 10:15; 1 John 3:6)

If all three are witnesses, then they must be separate Persons. The water and the blood simply confirm the intelligent testimonies of the three Persons of the Godhead and give additional weight to the Sonship of Jesus.

The words through and by, used of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, but not once of the Father, prove that God to be a separate Person and the Head and Director of all things done by and through them (1 Cor. 3:23; 1 Cor. 11:3; John 10:29; John 14:28; John 14:16-17,26; John 15:26; John 16:7-15; Acts 2:33-34):

(1) Through Jesus Christ (Acts 4:2; Romans 1:8; Romans 5:1,9,11; Romans 6:23; Romans 7:25; Romans 15:17; Romans 16:27; 1 Cor. 15:57; 2 Cor. 3:4; Galatians 3:14; Galatians 4:7; Galatians 5:10; Ephes. 2:7,18; Phil. 4:7,13; Titus 3:6; Hebrews 13:21; 1 Peter 1:22; 1 Peter 4:11; 1 John 4:9)

(2) By Jesus Christ (John 1:3,10,17; John 10:9; Acts 4:10; Acts 10:36; Romans 2:16; Romans 3:22; Romans 5:17,21; Galatians 1:1; Ephes. 1:5; Ephes. 3:9; Col. 1:15-20; Col. 3:17; Hebrews 1:1-3; 1 Peter 2:5; 1 Peter 5:10)

(3) Through the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:2; Acts 21:4; Romans 8:13; Romans 15:13,19; Galatians 5:5; Ephes. 2:22; Hebrews 9:14)

(4) By the Holy Spirit (Ezekiel 11:24; Micah 3:8; Zech. 4:6; Matthew 12:28; Luke 2:27; Luke 4:1; Acts 11:28; Romans 5:5; Romans 15:19; 1 Cor. 2:10; 1 Cor. 6:11; 1 Cor. 12:3,13)

Proofs that Jesus is Not the Father:

The Father was in heaven all the time that Jesus was on earth (Matthew 5:16,48).

Christ now sits at the right hand of the Father.

Jesus said He would confess men “before My Father,” proving He is not the Father (Matthew 10:32; Rev. 3:5).

Jesus always prayed to the Father as a separate Person (Matthew 11:25; John 17).

The Father existed outside the body of Jesus, so He could not be Jesus (Matthew 2:12; Matthew 3:17; Matthew 17:5; John 12:27-30).

Both Jesus and Satan refer to a God separate from Jesus (Matthew 4:6-10).

God was the Father of Jesus, not Jesus Himself (Ephes. 1:3,17; Ephes. 3:14).

In parables Jesus illustrates His relationship to the Father as that of separate persons (Matthew 21:33-46; John 15:1-8).

People are taught to go directly to the Father and not to pray to Jesus (John 14:12-15; John 15:16; John 16:23-26).

The Father knew things that Jesus did not know (Mark 13:32; Acts 1:7).

Others saw Jesus as a separate Person from the Father (Daniel 7:9-14; Acts 7:56).

Jesus committed His own spirit to the Father, not to Himself (Luke 23:46).

Jesus claimed that He came from God and was going back to God (John 8:42; John 16:5; John 10:36; John 17:8).

God is a Spirit, not flesh and blood like Jesus was (John 4:24; John 19:34; Matthew 16:17; Luke 24:39).

People on earth with Jesus heard God speak as a separate person from heaven (Matthew 3:17; Matthew 17:5; 2 Peter 1:16-18).

Jesus claimed to be the Son of God, not the Father Himself (John 5:17-35).

Jesus called the Father “My God,” even after the resurrection (John 20:17; Rev. 3:12).

Jesus called God “My Father” 57 times (John 15:1; Rev. 2:27). How could He be His own God and Father and beget Himself?

When Jesus was born on earth angels and people still recognized God in heaven (Luke 2:7-16). Were they mistaken about God? Was the child all of God on earth and in heaven also?

Mary and Joseph acted with utmost ignorance if the baby Jesus was all of God, for they presented Him to the Lord Who was someone other than Jesus (Luke 2:22).

Simeon had a revelation and guidance from the Holy Spirit that Jesus was not the only member of the Godhead (Luke 2:26-33).

John the Baptist knew the Father, but he did not know the Son (John 1:31-34).

The Son died, not the Father (1 Cor. 15:3; 1 Peter 2:24).

Jesus was the only begotten Son of the Father, so could not be the Father or the begetter of Himself (John 1:14).

Jesus claimed that He could not and did not do anything of Himself, but that the Father worked through Him (John 5:19,30; John 6:38; John 8:28; John 12:49-50).

He did not come to do His own will, but that of the Father who sent Him (John 5:30; John 6:38).

His doctrine was not His, but the Father’s (John 7:16-17; John 8:26).

He did not speak of Himself, but of the Father who had sent Him (John 7:16-18; John 8:26-40).

He did not please Himself, but the Father (John 8:29).

He was a Son, not a Father over the house of God (John 8:35-36; Hebrews 3:6).

He had the same relation to His Father that men have with Satan (John 8:16,35-44; John 9:4).

He honored the Father as all people should (John 8:49).

He did not seek His own glory, but that of the Father (John 8:50-54; John 17:4).

He knew the Father, but was not the Father (John 8:55; John 10:15).

He was loved by the Father as a separate person (John 10:17-18).

He kept the Father’s commandments and they were not His own (John 12:49-50; John 15:10).

His disciples were given to Him by the Father (John 10:29; John 17:1-25).

He was equal with the Father in some things, but not in others (Mark 13:32; John 5:17-39; John 8:13-19,29-42; John 19:18-29; Acts 1:7; 1 Cor. 11:3; Rev. 1:1).

He and the Father were in unity and in each other in the same sense believers are to be in unity and in God (John 10:38; John 14:10-11,23; John 17:11,21-23).

He was the only way to the Father (John 6:37; John 14:6).

He said, I am not alone or the only witness of My sonship. The Father is another witness (John 5:36-38; John 8:13-19,54; John 12:49-50; John 14:10-11).

Over 80 times Jesus affirmed that He was not the Father and not the only person in the Godhead. Christ was the speaker, but not the one spoken of or to (Matthew 7:21; Matthew 11:27; Matthew 18:10,35; Luke 2:49; John 5:17-43; John 8:19-49; John 10:17-37; John 14:7-28; John 15:1-26; Rev. 1:1; etc.). Is it any wonder that the Godhead, the Trinity, and the unity of God are so mysterious when we force separate persons to become only one person, all because we do not want to recognize the true meaning of the word one as referring to unity rather than individuality in some scriptures? People would be just as great a mystery if we forced the meaning of all men to refer to one person.

He was not as great as His Father (John 10:29; John 14:28; cp. 1 Cor. 11:3).

The Father (Matthew 3:17), Jesus (John 10:36), angels (Luke 1:32-35), demons (Mark 3:11; Mark 5:7), and apostles (Matthew 16:16; John 1:14; Romans 8:32; 2 John 1:3), all declare the sonship of Jesus, but not once do they declare a Christ-fatherhood.

The Father and the Son spoke to each other in audible voices at the same time and place, being heard by many witnesses (Matthew 3:16-17; Matthew 7:5; John 12:27-30; 2 Peter 1:17). In no single instance could such speaking be explained as the voice of one individual or be used to prove one Person in the Deity.

The word “both” is used of the Father and the Son, proving two Persons (John 15:24; 2 John 1:9).

The word “also” is used of the Father and the Son, proving two Persons (John 5:19,27; John 8:19; John 13:32; John 14:1).

The statement, “They have not known the Father nor Me,” proves two Persons (John 16:3,5).

Christ received all power in heaven and in earth (Matthew 28:18). The Father had to be greater than Jesus to give Him that power (John 14:28).

Jesus was resurrected and exalted by the Father, so He could not be the Father (Ephes. 1:20-23; Phil. 2:9-11; Hebrews 12:2; 1 Peter 3:22)

God made Jesus both Lord and Christ (Acts 2:33-36).

Six times in John 14:1-9 Jesus made it clear that He was not the Father.

The Holy Spirit Is Not Jesus Or the Father:

The Holy Spirit is another Person, distinct from both the Father and the Son (John 5:32; John 14:16-17,26; John 15:26; John 16:7-15).

It was necessary that Jesus go away so that the Holy Spirit could come (John 16:5-15).

He has been seen with the natural eyes as a separate Person from the Father and the Son (Matthew 3:16-17; John 1:31-34; Rev. 4:5; Rev. 5:6).

He is symbolized as a separate Person with Christ, both of them before God who sits on a throne (Rev. 1:4-5; Rev. 3:1; Rev. 4:5; Rev. 5:6).

He could not be sent from God until Christ was glorified, but would then be sent from both the Father and the Son (John 7:37-39; Acts 2:33-34).

He was sent from the Father to endow Jesus with power. This required three Persons: the One who sent Him, the One being sent, and the One who received Him (Acts 10:38; Isaiah 11:2; Isaiah 42:1-7; Isaiah 61:1-2).

A clear distinction is made of the names of all three Persons (Matthew 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14; 1 John 5:7).

A clear distinction is made between the Son who prays, the Father to whom He prays, and the Holy Spirit for whom He prays (John 14:16).

A clear distinction is made between the Son on the right hand of the Father, the Father on the left hand of the Son, and the Holy Spirit who is sent from the Father and the Son (Acts 2:33-36; Acts 7:56; John 14:16-17,26; John 15:26; John 16:7-15).

The Son was already given (John 3:16), when the Spirit was not yet given (John 7:39).

The Son can be blasphemed with forgiveness possible; but if the Spirit is blasphemed, no forgiveness is possible. This proves two distinct Persons (Matthew 12:31-32; Mark 3:29-30; Luke12:10).

The Samaritans received Jesus, but had not yet received the Holy Spirit (Acts 8:5-25).

Jesus could do no miracle by Himself (John 5:19), but by the Holy Spirit He did many miracles (John 2:11; Acts 10:38)

The Holy Spirit came not to speak of or glorify Himself, but to speak of and glorify Jesus (John 16:7-15).

The descent of the Holy Spirit proved the arrival of Jesus in heaven to sit at the right hand of God, thus proving three Persons (Acts 2:33-34; John 7:39).

Jesus claimed even after the resurrection that He was not a spirit being, so He could not be the Father or the Holy Spirit who are spirit beings (Luke 24:39; John 4:24; John 14:16-17,26; John 15:26; John 16:7-15).

In the last book of the Bible the Trinity is seen as working together in all things (Rev. 1:4-6; Rev. 3:1; Rev. 4:5; Rev. 5:6; Rev. 21:10; Rev. 22:17).

Summation: You have been taught error. When Jesus said “MY FATHER AND I ARE ONE” He meant one in agreement, unity and accord, He did not mean one in body, as shown by the following verses: Matthew 19:5 And (JESUS) said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? We know they are not one flesh, only one in unity, agreement and accord. Check these verses; Matt.19:6; Gen.2:24; Mark 10:8; 1Cor.6:16. If you do not understand the trinity now then you must believe that everyplace Jesus spoke of His Father (57 verses) He was lying, deceiving, and tricking because you say He is his Father.

Something to search out: The word ask in the verse below (James 4:2) has a very interesting meaning in the Greek. Ask your preacher to show you the definition in the STRONG’S GREEK DICT. The # is 154 and it says to compare #4441. Require him to show you the complete definition of #154 in #4441. It will change your prayer life forever and give better results. If your preacher does not have a Strong’s your Library has or can get a Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance which contains the most used Hebrew and Greek dictionary. To understand the bible you must have access to Hebrew and Greek definitions. IF YOUR PREACHER CANNOT DO THIS FOR YOU, EITHER CALL OR E-MAIL ME AND I WILL GET THE DEFINITION TO YOU. BE ASSURED, IT WILL GIVE YOU BETTER RESULTS IN YOUR PRAYER LIFE.

James 4:2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

God’s Omnipresence and Foreknowledge

GOD’S OMNIPRESENCE AND FOREKNOWLEDGE

THE MAJORITY OF DENOMINATIONS TEACH (GOD’S FOREKNOWLEDGE) THAT FROM ETERNITY PAST TO ETERNITY FUTURE GOD KNOWS EVERYTHING. HE HAS KNOWN FOREVER THAT YOU WOULD BE READING THIS PARAGRAPH AT THIS EXACT INSTANT. HE KNOWS EVERY SPARROW THAT FALLS NOW AND ALREADY KNOWS WHERE EACH ONE THAT FALLS A MILLION YEARS FROM NOW WILL HIT THE GROUND.

IF THE ABOVE TEACHING IS TRUE HOW DO WE RECONCILE THE MANY VERSES, FACTS AND QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW.

IF GOD KNEW BEFORE HE CREATED LUCIFER THAT IT WOULD MAKE HIM TORTURE JESUS CHRIST TO DEATH ON THE CROSS WOULD HE HAVE CREATED LUCIFER? IS THAT THE SIGN OF A LOVING FATHER?

IF GOD KNEW BEFORE HE CREATED LUCIFER THAT BY THAT ACT HE WOULD THEN BE FORCED TO CREATE A PLACE BY THE NAME OF HELL AND BURN ONE THIRD (PROBABLY TENS OF MILLIONS) OF THE HOLY ANGELS (GOD CALLS THEM THE SONS OF GOD IN JOB 1:6, 2:1, 38:7) IN THAT PLACE FOREVER? DO YOU SERIOUSLY THINK HE WOULD DO SUCH A THING? NOT THE ACTIONS OF A GOOD, LOVING FATHER. EARTHLY FATHERS WOULD NEVER (MAT. 7: 7-11) DO SUCH A HORRIBLE THING. THEY WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING TO CAUSE HARM TO COME TO THEIR CHILDREN. WHY DO WE THINK GOD WOULD BE SO HATEFUL?

IF GOD KNEW BEFORE HE CREATED LUCIFER THAT IT WOULD FORCE HIM TO PLACE FIFTEEN BILLION (EST.) HUMANS IN HELL’S HOT FLAMES AND BURN THEM FOREVER DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT HE WOULD DO SOMETHING SO EVIL WITH FULL FOREKNOWLEDGE?

IF GOD KNEW BEFORE HE CREATED LUCIFER THAT HE WOULD BE CREATING THE MOST HORRIBLE, SADISTIC, DESTROYING, MONSTROUS ENEMY THAT HE, JESUS, THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE ANGELS AND MAN COULD EVER HAVE. A BEING THAT ,“WE SAY”, GOD KNEW WOULD TURN EXCEEDINGLY EVIL DEVASTATE, KILL, RAPE, AND RAVAGE GOD’S WHOLE CREATION FOR MANY MILLENNIA TO COME. AND, “WE SAY”, HE, UNCARING WITH COMPLETE FOREKNOWLEDGE, PERFORMED AN ACT OF CREATION (LUCIFER) THAT MAKES HITLER (WITH HIS SIXTEEN MILLION MURDERED DURING WORLD WAR TWO) SEEM LIKE A SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER. WHY DO YOU THINK GOD WOULD COMMIT SUCH A MURDEROUS, MINDLESS ACT OF SAVAGERY AGAINST HIS OWN CREATION?

OMNIPRESENCE: THAT GOD OCCUPIES EVERY INCH OF THE EARTH CONTINUALLY,

PLEASE ASK YOUR PREACHER TO SUPPLY YOU WITH VERSES (NOT OPINIONS) TO PROVE THE ABOVE FICTION. IF HE THINKS HE HAS VERSES ASK HIM TO EXPLAIN TO YOU THE GREEK MEANING OF THE CRITICAL WORDS IN EACH VERSE (HE KNOWS HOW TO DO THIS) AND HE WILL SOON ADMIT THAT THE VERSES DO NOT SAY WHAT HE WANTS THEM TO SAY.

VERSES TO PROVE THAT GOD IS NOT OMNIPRESENT AND DOES NOT HAVE THE FOREKNOWLEDGE THAT WE SAY HE HAS:

GEN 18:21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, (AFTER I GO DOWN, THEN) I will know.

GEN 11:5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.

IF GOD IS OMNIPRESENT (PRESENT EVERYWHERE, ALL THE TIME) IN GEN. 11:5; 18:21 HE WOULD NOT NEED TO GO DOWN TO SEE THE CITY AND THE TOWER: HE WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE WHEN EACH BRICK WAS PLACED AND WOULD STILL BE THERE LOOKING AT IT. THINK HOW STUPID WE IMPLY GOD IS WHEN WE SAY HE IS ALL KNOWING AND OMNIPRESENT, (EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME), LOOKING AT EVERYTHING ON EARTH CONSTANTLY, THEN IN GEN. 11:5; 18:21 WE SAY (GOD) STATED THIS: PARAPHRASED “I WILL GO DOWN NOW TO SEE WHAT I AM ALREADY DOWN THERE LOOKING AT (OMNIPRESENT) TO FIND OUT WHAT I HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN.” (FOREKNOWLEDGE OR OMNISCIENCE).

WHERE IN THE WORD OF GOD DOES IT SAY HE IS OMNIPRESENT???? PLEASE SEARCH FOR THE VERSE!!

IF GOD IS ALL KNOWING, IN GEN. 18:21 HE WOULD NOT HAVE TO GO DOWN TO SEE WHETHER AND IF NOT (AFTER HE GOES DOWN) THEN HE WILL KNOW.

ALL DENOMINATIONS TEACH THAT THE BIBLE SAYS GOD IS “ALL KNOWING”. THE WORDS “ALL KNOWING OR KNOWING ALL” ARE FOUND ONLY IN FOUR VERSES: MARK 5:33; JOHN 13:3; JOHN 18:4; JOHN 19:28: NONE OF THESE VERSES APPLY TO GOD.

GEN 18:26 And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.

GEN 18:28 (ABRAHAM SPEAKING) Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for [lack of] five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy [it].

(GEN. 18:26, 28) NOT THAT I ALREADY KNOW, BUT IF I FIND AFTER I GO THERE, ALSO IF GOD IS OMNIPRESENT (PRESENT EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME) HE WOULD NOT SAY “IF I FIND”, BECAUSE HE WOULD ALREADY BE IN THE PRESENCE OF, AND THEREFORE KNOW HOW MANY RIGHTEOUS WERE IN THE CITY WITHOUT HAVING TO GO THERE.

GEN 22:11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here [am] I.

GEN 22:12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son] from me. (GOD)

(GEN. 22:12 ABOVE) GOD DID NOT SAY THAT HE KNEW BEFORE HE TESTED ABRAHAM, BUT AFTER THE TEST HE SAID, “NOW I KNOW”, PLAINLY STATING THAT HE DID NOT HAVE FOREKNOWLEDGE.

NUM. 10:33 ¶ And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days’ journey: and the ark ( GOD’S POWER AND KNOWLEDGE) of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days’ journey, to search out a resting place for them.

IF GOD IS EVERYWHERE PRESENT WHY MUST HE SEARCH OUT A PLACE? HE WOULD ALREADY KNOW AND BE LOCATED IN EVERY GOOD RESTING PLACE ON THE PLANET.

DEU. 1:33 Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents [in], in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.

(DEU. 1:33 ABOVE) WHY MUST HE SEARCH OUT A PLACE? IF HE HAS FOREKNOWLEDGE HE KNEW A MILLION YEARS AGO EXACTLY WHERE THEY WOULD PITCH THEIR TENTS.

2SA 6:.7 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for [his] error; and there he died by the ark of God.

(2SA. 6:7 ABOVE) IF THE LORD KNEW IN HIS FOREKNOWLEDGE A MILLION YEARS AGO THAT UZZAH WOULD TOUCH THE ARK, DID HE BECOME ANGRY A MILLION YEARS AGO AND MAINTAIN THAT ANGER ALL THRU THE YEARS JUST SO HE COULD KILL UZZAH WHEN IT HAPPENED?

1CH 28:9 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever. I, AS A SOUTHERN BAPTIST NEED TO MEDIATE ON THE LAST PHRASE IN 1CH 28:9.

1CHRON. 28:9 ABOVE IF THE LORD ALREADY KNOWS WHAT IS IN EVERY HEART; WHY DOES HE SEARCH ALL HEARTS? THE ANSWER IS OBVIOUS. “HE (GOD) DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS IN A HEART UNTIL HE (GOD) SEARCHES IT.

JOB 1:7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

JOB 2:2 And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

(JOB 1:7 2:2 ABOVE) ALL DENOMINATIONS TEACH THAT GOD HAS FOREKNOWLEDGE OF EVERYTHING BEFORE IT HAPPENS, SO HE (GOD) ALREADY KNEW THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION HE ASKED SATAN “WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN” (WHENCE COMEST THOU?), SO WE ARE FORCED TO ASSUME THAT GOD WAS ONLY MAKING POLITE CONVERSATION. THE TRUTH IS, GOD DID NOT KNOW WHERE SATAN HAD BEEN UNTIL SATAN TOLD HIM.

VISUALIZE: JOB 1:7, 2:2 OCCURED IN HEAVEN WITH NO HUMANS PRESENT ONLY SATAN AND MANY ANGELS. (HUMANS WERE NOT ALLOWED IN HEAVEN AT THAT TIME) IF GOD DOES KNOW EVERYTHING THE ANGELS INCLUDING SATAN ARE AWARE OF THIS FACT: ANGEL ONE LOOKS AT ANGEL TWO AND SAYS, “IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH GOD? HE IS ASKING SATAN QUESTIONS THAT HE KNEW THE ANSWER TO A MILLION YEARS AGO”. TO SAY THAT EVERY TIME GOD ASKS A QUESTION HE HAS ALREADY KNOWN THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION FOR A MILLION YEARS WOULD BE AS RIDICULOUS AS THIS: EACH TIME YOU MEET YOUR MOTHER FACE TO FACE YOU LOOK HER IN THE EYE AND ASK “WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT IS YOUR NAME?”

JOB 1:8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that [there is] none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

(JOB 1:8 ABOVE) GOD ASKED SATAN THE QUESTION “HAST THOU CONSIDERED” BECAUSE GOD ALREADY KNEW THE ANSWER. THINK HOW IRRATIONAL THAT SOUNDS: GOD ASKED THE QUESTION BECAUSE HE ALREADY KNEW THE ANSWER. THERE WERE NO HUMANS PRESENT, SO THESE QUESTIONS TO SATAN WERE NOT ASKED TO IMPRESS US.

IF YOU CONTEND THAT GOD ALREADY KNOWS THE ANSWER TO EVERY QUESTION HE ASKS IN THE BIBLE, THEN YOU MUST HAVE A LOGICAL EXPLANATION WHY HE DOES THIS WHEN IT MAKES HIM LOOK SO STUPID. THIS PREMISE IS AS ILLOGICAL AS YOU STANDING INSIDE THE LIBRARY AND ASKING SOMEONE “PLEASE GIVE ME INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO FIND THE LIBRARY”.

PSA 14:2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, [and] seek God.

IF GOD ALREADY KNEW, THERE WOULD BE NO NEED FOR HIM TO LOOK DOWN “TO SEE IF”

PSA 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

PSA 139:24 And see if [there be any] wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

PSALMS 139:23 “SEARCH ME, TRY ME” AND PSALMS 139:24 “SEE IF” BOTH INDICATE NO FOREKNOWLEDGE.

(PSALMS 139:23-24 ABOVE) IF GOD HAS FOREKNOWLEDGE IT IS ABSURD TO “SEARCH”.

JER 8:21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me.

(JER. 8:21 ABOVE) IF GOD HAS FOREKNOWLEDGE OF EVERY EVENT THOUSANDS OR MILLIONS OF YEARS PRIOR TO THE EVENT, GOD CANNOT BE ASTONISHED BY ANYTHING.

GEN 3:9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where [art] thou?

GEN 3:11 And he said, Who told thee that thou [wast] naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

(GEN. 3:9 , 11 ABOVE) “WHERE ART THOU?” “WHO TOLD THEE THOU [WAST] NAKED?” “HAST THOU EATEN OF THE TREE?” IF YOU CONTEND THAT GOD WAS OMNIPRESENT IN THE GARDEN (HIDING BEHIND THE TREE WITH ADAM AND EVE, AT THE SAME TIME, APPROACHING THEM FROM SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET AWAY, CALLING “WHERE [ART] THOU”; YOU ARE MAKING GOD LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT. HERE HE STANDS BEHIND THE TREE WITH ADAM AND EVE, ASKING THEM WHERE THEY ARE, ALSO BY FOREKNOWLEDGE HE IS ACCUSED OF KNOWING FOR A MILLION YEARS EXACTLY WHICH TREE THEY WOULD BE HIDING BEHIND, AND YET HE STILL ASKS “WHERE ARE YOU?” HAS THIS PREMISE THAT GOD KNOWS EVERYTHING AND IS EVERYWHERE BECOME LAUGHABLE YET? IF NOT LET US CONTINUE.

GEN 6:6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

GEN 6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

JER 15:6 Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting.

IF GOD HAS FOREKNOWLEDGE HE CERTAINLY DOES HIS SHARE OF THINGS THAT HE KNOWS HE WILL HAVE TO REPENT OVER. (GOD REPENTS IN THE FOLLOWING VERSES, GEN. 6:6, 7; EXO. 32:14; ISA. 15:11, 35; 2SA. 24:16; 1CHRO. 21:15; JER. 15:6; 18:8; 18:10; 26:19; PSA. 106:45; AMOS 7:3, 6; JOHN 3:10) IT MAKES GOD APPEAR AS DUMB AS MANKIND.

IF GOD TRULY HAS THE FOREKNOWLEDGE THAT EVERYONE ACCUSES HIM OF, THEN WE REALLY HAVE A PROBLEM: AS OUTLINED HERE; AT THE TIME GOD CHOSE DAVID HE MADE THE STATEMENT IN ISA. 13:14; ACTS 13:22 “THIS IS A MAN AFTER MINE OWN HEART”, (GOD WAS SAYING DAVID’S HEART, (SPIRIT) IS LIKE MY SPIRIT) ASSUMING GOD HAS ALL THE FOREKNOWLEDGE WE ACCUSE HIM OF, THEN HE KNEW DAVID’S HEART (SPIRIT) CONTAINED MURDER, LIES, ADULTERY, REBELLION AND MUCH INIQUITY, SO WE ACCUSE GOD OF SAYING THAT HIS OWN HEART CONTAINS THE SAME HORRIBLE THINGS THAT DAVID’S HEART CONTAINED. SEEMS RATHER RIDICULOUS WHEN LOOKED AT FROM THIS POINT OF VIEW.

ACS 13:22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I (GOD) have found David the [son] of Jesse, a man after mine (GOD’S) own heart, which shall fulfil all my (GOD’S) will.

IF GOD HAS THE FOREKNOWLEDGE THAT MAN SAYS HE HAS, (ARE THERE ANY VERSES WHERE GOD SAYS HE HAS FOREKNOWLEDGE?) THEN WE MUST BELIEVE THAT IT WAS GOD’S WILL FOR DAVID TO COMMIT MURDER, AND ADULTERY BECAUSE IN THE VERSE ABOVE GOD SAYS,

“DAVID SHALL FULFIL ALL MY WILL”, YET GOD PUNISHED DAVID FOR COMMITTING THESE ACTS. IT APPEARS DAVID DIED WITH A VENEREAL DISEASE (PSALMS 38:7).

REV 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser (SATAN) of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

(REV. 12:10 ABOVE) IF GOD HAS KNOWN FOREVER EVERY WORD THAT SATAN WOULD SAY WHEN HE ACCUSED THE BRETHREN AND SATAN KNOWS THAT GOD HAS ALWAYS KNOWN THIS. “WHY WOULD TWO VERY INTELLIGENT BEINGS BE PARTY TO THIS EXAMPLE OF IDIOCY?

MAT 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

(MAT. 7:23 ABOVE) WE TEACH THAT GOD KNOWS EVERY HUMAN ON EARTH, EVEN BEFORE THEY ARE BORN; YET JESUS IS SAYING HERE THAT HE HAS NEVER KNOWN THESE PEOPLE. DO YOU BELIEVE JESUS HAS GUILE IN HIS MOUTH? IS JESUS LYING? OR DOES HE NOT KNOW THAT HE IS SUPPOSE TO KNOW EVERYTHING. CHECK THE WORD NEVER IN GREEK! THE GREEK WORD IS “OUDEPOTE” MEANS “NOT EVEN AT ANY TIME”.

IF YOU LIKE TO USE THE CATCHALL PHRASE, “IT WAS SAID FOR OUR BENEFIT” BE READY TO EXPLAIN EXACTLY HOW ANY OF THESE DUMB (IF HE KNOWS EVERYTHING) STATEMENTS BENEFIT US HUMANS.

JER 17:10 I the LORD search the heart, [I] try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, [and] according to the fruit of his doings.

(JER. 17:10 ABOVE) GOD SAYS I SEARCH THE HEART SO THAT I CAN REWARD MAN ACCORDING TO WHAT I FIND. IF WE CONTEND THAT GOD ALREADY KNOWS WHAT IS IN THE HEART; ARE WE NOT SAYING THAT HE IS STUPID TO SEARCH FOR SOMETHING WHEN HE ALREADY KNOWS WHERE IT IS? THIS IS LIKE YOU SEARCHING THE ENTIRE HOUSE FOR YOUR CAR KEYS WHEN YOU KNOW THEY ARE IN YOUR POCKET.

ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION; DO YOU KNOW VERSES THAT SAY GOD HAS ALL THIS FOREKNOWLEDGE OR HAVE YOU ONLY ASSUMED OR BEEN TAUGHT SO?

GOD HAS FOREKNOWLEDGE OF THE THINGS THAT HE WILL MAKE HAPPEN SUCH AS: THE FLOOD, CHRIST, TRIBULATION PERIOD, NEW HEAVEN, NEW EARTH, BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON, FINAL BATTLE, ETC.

HOS 7:1 When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, [and] the troop of robbers spoileth without.

(HOSEA 7:1 ABOVE) GOD CANNOT DISCOVER SOMETHING IF HE HAS ALWAYS KNOWN IT SINCE TIME BEGAN.

ROM 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God.

1CO 2:10 But God hath revealed [them] unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

REV 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

(ROM. 8:27; 1COR. 2:10; REV. 2:23; ABOVE) IN THESE THREE VERSES GOD USED THE WORD SEARCHETH. IN YOUR OPINION SHOULD HE HAVE USED THE WORD “KNOWS”? GOD KNOWS HOW TO USE THE LANGUAGE. HE IS NOT ILLITERATE. DO YOU REALLY THINK GOD IS SO DUMB THAT HE IS UNABLE TO USE THE CORRECT WORDS TO DESCRIBE HIS ATTRIBUTES?

ROM 3:4 God forbid: yea, let (THE WORD OF) God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

TO BE JUSTIFIED IN YOUR SAYINGS YOU MUST SAY THE SAME THINGS GOD SAYS. YOU MUST, AS CHRIST DID, SAY “IT IS WRITTEN” AND THESE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE WRITTEN, THINGS THAT GOD SAID:

IF GOD IS TRULY OMNIPRESENT AND ALL KNOWING, THEN BY ALL REASON WE MUST COME TO ONE OF TWO LOGICAL CONCLUSIONS:

THAT GOD IS A LIAR BECAUSE HE SAYS HE IS NOT A GOD OF CONFUSION AND YET THE TWENTY FIVE VERSES ABOVE CONFUSE THE ISSUE OF WHETHER HE IS OMNIPRESENT AND ALL KNOWING OR,

THAT HE IS RATHER STUPID AND DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO USE THE LANGUAGE TO CONVEY TO US HIS TRUE ATTRIBUTES.

THERE ARE OTHER VERSES THAT ALSO PROVE THE DOCTRINES OF OMNIPRESENCE AND FOREKNOWLEDGE FALSE. AS YOU STUDY AND DISCOVER VERSES THAT QUESTION GOD’S FOREKNOWLEDGE AND OMNIPRESENCE PLEASE STUDY THEM WITH A FREE MIND. IF YOU WISH TO DISCUSS THE VERSES PHONE (256) 208-7777.

THINK ON THIS, IF MY TEACHING ON THIS SUBJECT IS TRUE IT DOES NOT MAKE GOD ANY LESS GOD. HE IS THE SAME FOR EVER, BUT IT MIGHT CAUSE US TO RETHINK SOME OF OUR POSITIONS ON CERTAIN SPIRITUAL MATTERS SUCH AS PRAYER, HEALING AND OTHERS AND GIVE US BETTER RESULTS.

God Says “I Search”

All content below is exactly as it appeared on Frank’s website, nothing has been changed. Please ignore references to “call” or “email” Frank for obvious reasons.

GOD SAYS “I SEARCH.”

IF HE DOES NOT TRULY SEARCH WHY DOES HE SAY THIS?

Numbers 10:33 And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days’ journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days’ journey, to search out a resting place for them.

Deuteronomy 1:33 Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents [in], in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.

I Chronicles 28:9 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.

Psalms 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

Jeremiah 17:10 I the LORD search the heart, [I] try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, [and] according to the fruit of his doings.

Romans 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God.

I Corinthians 2:10 But God hath revealed [them] unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

Revelation 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

WHY DOES GOD SAY HE SEARCHES IF HE ALREADY KNOWS??

TO SAY I WILL SEARCH FOR SOMETHING WHEN I ALREADY KNOW THE FACT OR LOCATION IS RATHER STUPID. BE ASSURED, GOD (THE MOST INTELLIGENT BEING IN THE UNIVERSE) DID NOT MAKE STUPID STATEMENTS IN HIS BOOK.

THE SEARCH IN THESE VERSES MEANS IN THE HEBREW AND GREEK EXACTLY THE SAME AS WE UNDERSTAND SEARCH IN ENGLISH. IN THE STRONG’S HEBREW DICTIONARY THE NUMBER IS 8446 AND 2713. IN THE GREEK DICTIONARY THE NUMBER IS 2045.

GOD DOES NOT CAUSE OR ALLOW CIRCUMSTANCES (TRAGEDIES) TO HARASS HIS CHILDREN

GOD DOES NOT CAUSE OR ALLOW CIRCUMSTANCES (TRAGEDIES) TO HARASS HIS CHILDREN?

LARGE PRINT FOR OLDER PEOPLE WITH GLASSES.

THIS DOCTRINE HAS CAUSED MANY OF OUR CHRISTIAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS TO DEPART FROM THE FAITH AND HATE GOD! EXAMINE THE FOLLOWING SCRIPTURES AND COMMENTS AND IF YOU CAN, IN GOOD CONSCIENCE, TEACH AFTER THIS MANNER:

THIS IS AN EXTENSIVE DISCUSSION OF MANY VERSES (KJV) THAT WILL CONVINCE YOU YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR TRAGEDIES. (HE DOES NOT CAUSE OR ALLOW THEM!)

YOU KNOW MANY CHRISTIANS THAT HAVE RESENTMENT OR HARD FEELINGS TOWARD GOD BECAUSE SOMEONE TOLD THEM THAT GOD HAD A PURPOSE (HE CAUSED IT ON PURPOSE) FOR A TRAGEDY IN THEIR LIFE. A COPY OF THIS WILL HELP THEN. A FREE COPY OF THIS THESIS WILL BE E-MAILED TO ANY E-MAIL ADDRESS YOU SEND TO webmaster@bibleconsultant.com

KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU ARE A NEW CREATION WITH A NEW CONTRACT ( HEB. 8:6 BELOW ) BETWEEN YOU AND GOD. THIS NEW CONTRACT HAS BETTER PROMISES THAN THE OLD CONTRACT. IN THIS NEW TESTAMENT, (COVENANT, CONTRACT) GOD HAS VOLUNTARILY EXCLUDED HIMSELF FROM CAUSING OR ALLOWING ANYTHING IN THE LIFE OF HIS CHILDREN. HE HAS GIVEN TOTAL AUTHORITY TO HIS CHILDREN TO CONTROL EVERYTHING (GOOD OR BAD) THAT COMES INTO THEIR LIVES. HE WILL NOT OVERRIDE THAT AUTHORITY, UNLESS YOU INVITE HIM TO, BY REQUEST OR PRAYER!!!!!. READ ON FOR SCRIPTURAL PROOF.

KEEP THIS VERSE IN MIND: Hebrews 8:6 But now hath he (JESUS) obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he (JESUS) is the mediator of a better covenant, (NEW TESTAMENT) which was established upon better promises.

EXAMINE THE FOLLOWING VERSES TO SEE IF THEY SPEAK THUSLY TO YOU.

GOD DOES NOT CAUSE OR ALLOW YOUR PROBLEMS!!!

YOU HAVE BEEN TO FUNERALS AND HEARD THE PREACHER (ALL DENOMINATIONS) AFTER A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT, STATE “GOD TOOK THIS CHILD, MOTHER, GRANDMOTHER, FRIEND OR WHOMEVER.” DID HE MEAN THAT GOD CAUSED OR ALLOWED THE ACCIDENT?

IF YOU AND YOUR DENOMINATION BELIEVE THIS DOCTRINE, YOUR VISITATION TEAMS ARE ALL DECEIVERS, UNLESS THEY TELL ALL SINNERS “I WANT YOU TO COME WORSHIP MY GOD (JEHOVAH, JESUS), BUT I MUST WARN YOU, IF YOU DO, TOMORROW HE MIGHT CAUSE OR ALLOW YOU TO BE TORTURED TO DEATH IN SOME HORRIBLE MANNER.”

THIS HEINOUS, SATANIC, FIENDISH, LYING DOCTRINE IS TAUGHT FROM THE MAJORITY OF PULPITS IN AMERICA. IT’S ONE GREAT CLAIM TO FAME IS THAT IT CAUSES THE CHILDREN OF GOD TO HATE GOD. (AND RIGHTFULLY SO, IF IT IS TRUE).

CONSIDER THIS, IF GOD CAUSES YOUR BEAUTIFUL THREE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER TO CONTRACT CANCER AND TO SUFFER HORRIBLY FOR TWO YEARS BEFORE HE LETS HER DIE, YOU SHOULD HATE HIM; BUT, IF YOU DO HATE GOD, YOU WILL SURELY GO TO HELL.

REALIZE THE TREMENDOUS EMOTIONAL CONFLICT THIS TEACHING IS CAUSING IN THE BODY OF CHRIST.

IF YOU BELIEVE THIS DOCTRINE ASK YOURSELF IF YOU HAVE NEW TESTAMENT VERSE TO PROVE IT OR HAVE YOU POSSIBLY BEEN USED AS A PAWN BY SATAN TO BLASPHEME GOD?

ASK YOURSELF AND MEDITATE ON THIS QUESTION: IF AN ALL POWERFUL BEING (GOD) IS CONTROLLING YOUR LIFE AND YOUR LIFE IS IN A MESS, WHO IS TO BLAME?

GOD ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT CAUSE OR ALLOW A SINGLE PROBLEM IN THE LIVES OF HIS CHILDREN.

IF SOMEONE WISHES TO CONTEND WITH YOU ON THIS POINT ASK THEM FOR NEW TESTAMENT (HEB. 8:6) CHAPTER AND VERSE AND WATCH HOW QUICKLY THEY DECIDE THEY DO NOT HAVE CHAPTER AND VERSE.

GRANDMOTHER DIED, AT THE FUNERAL THE PREACHER (SCRIPTURALLY IGNORANT, A PERSON THAT DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE WORD OF GOD AND THEREFORE DEVASTATES MUCH OF THE BODY OF CHRIST) STANDS UP AND DECLARES “GOD TOOK GRANDMOTHER” AND IMMEDIATELY THE FIVE, SIX AND SEVEN YEAR OLD GRANDCHILDREN (AND MANY OF THE ADULTS) HATE GOD FOREVER. IT IS DIFFICULT TO CONVINCE PEOPLE NOT TO HATE GOD, IF HE KILLS (HE DOES NOT TAKE HER ALIVE) THEIR GRANDMOTHER.

THE RATIONALE FOR SAYING GOD “ALLOWS” HORRIBLE THINGS TO HAPPEN TO HIS CHILDREN CANNOT BE PROVEN SCRIPTURALLY ANY BETTER THAN GOD “CAUSING.”

Genesis 1:26

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Gen.1:26 (ABOVE) THE WORD “DOMINION” MEANS RULER, OWNERSHIP, HAVE CONTROL OVER. GOD CREATED THE WORLD AND GAVE IT TO MANKIND AS A POSSESSION TO OWN AND BE RULER OVER, WHICH ADAM DID FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

ADAM THEN VOLUNTARILY GAVE OWNERSHIP OF THE WORLD TO SATAN WHEN HE ALLOWED SATAN TO BECOME HIS MASTER. BIBLICALLY, A MASTER OWNED THE BEING AND ALL OF THAT BEING’S POSSESSIONS.

THE WORLD OWNERSHIP OF SATAN IS PROVED BY THE FOLLOWING VERSES: 2 Cor. 4:4 In whom the god of this world (SATAN) hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Ephes. 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, (SATAN) the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

BECAUSE GOD DOES NOT OWN THE EARTH AGAIN UNTIL HE TAKES IT BACK AT THE END OF THIS AGE HE CANNOT CAUSE OR ALLOW ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE UNLESS YOU ASK HIM TO DO SO, BECAUSE YOU LIVE ON A WORLD THAT BELONGS TO SATAN. (SATAN’S HOME AS PROVED ABOVE) THAT WOULD BE LIKE YOU ENTERING ANOTHER PERSON’S HOME AND BEGINNING TO BOSS THE RESIDENTS AROUND.

ANOTHER EXCELLENT REASON GOD CANNOT CAUSE OR ALLOW ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE (UNLESS YOU ASK HIM TO DO SO BY PRAYER) IS THAT HE DECLARED YOU ARE FREE WILL AND HE CANNOT TAKE AWAY YOUR FREE WILL WITHOUT MAKING HIMSELF A LIAR. IF HE CAUSES OR ALLOWS ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE THAT YOU DO NOT WANT (WILL) THERE, HE HAS TAKEN AWAY YOUR FREE WILL AND MADE HIMSELF A LIAR.

STUDY THE FOLLOWING VERSES (PROMISES) CAREFULLY AND PROVE TO YOURSELF THAT YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER IS NOT A SADISTIC, MURDERING, CHILD ABUSER, AS SOME CLAIM.

A WORD ABOUT PROMISES: THEY ARE SELDOM FREE. YOU MUST DO SOMETHING GOD ASKS BEFORE HE KEEPS A PROMISE TO YOU. EXAMPLES: I John 3:22; JOHN 15:7;

1 JOHN 3:22 And whatsoever (EVERYTHING) we ask, we receive of him, (GOD’S FUNCTION) because we (OUR DUTY) keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, (OUR DUTY) (THEN) ye shall ask what ye will, (ANYTHING) and it shall be done unto you. (GOD’S FUNCTION)

PROMISES TO THE BELIEVER OF UNLIMITE POWER

STUDY THESE PROMISES OF TOTAL POWER (OVER YOUR LIFE) THAT GOD HAS GIVEN TO HIS CHILDREN AND REALIZE THAT THIS AWESOME POWER IS THE WILL OF GOD FOR YOU. IF YOU DO NOT USE THIS OMNIPOTENCE (CONCERNING YOUR LIFE) IT IS YOUR FAULT, NOT THE FAULT OF GOD. ANYTHING THAT ENTERS YOUR LIFE IS THERE BECAUSE YOU ALLOW IT, NOT GOD ALLOWING IT.

CONSIDER THE FIRST VERSE BELOW, MAT.17:20 “IF YOU HAVE FAITH NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE UNTO YOU.” WITH THIS ONE MIGHTY PROMISE GOD ALLOWS YOU (EXCLUDES HIMSELF) TO TOTALLY CONTROL YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES. STOP BLAMING GOD FOR ALL THE TRAGEDY THAT YOU ALLOW IN YOUR LIFE. STUDY THE REST OF THESE VERSES THAT GUARANTEE YOU COMPLETE CONTROL.

Matthew 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

IF NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE TO YOU, THEN YOU HAVE GOD’S FULL PERMISSION TO ALLOW ONLY GOOD THINGS IN YOUR LIFE.

Matthew 18:18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye (YOU) shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye (YOU) shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

IN MAT.18:18 (ABOVE) GOD HAS GIVEN YOU (EXCLUDED HIMSELF) TOTAL CONTROL TO ALLOW (LOOSE) OR DISALLOW (BIND) EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE. IF YOU WISH, YOU HAVE GOD’S PERMISSION AND POWER TO BIND ALL EVIL OUT OF YOUR LIFE AND TO LOOSE ONLY GOOD INTO YOUR LIFE. IF YOU DO NOT USE THIS GOD GIVEN POWER, DO NOT BLAME GOD FOR ALLOWING THINGS IN YOUR LIFE. THEY ARE ALL YOUR FAULT. IF YOU CANNOT BELIEVE OR CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THESE VERSES ARE SAYING, POSSIBLY, YOU NEED TO GO BACK AND ACCOMPLISH THE FIRST WORKS.

2 COR. 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, (HARD TO UNDERSTAND) it is hid (HARD TO UNDERSTAND) to them that are lost:

PLEASE! PLEASE! BELIEVE WHAT GOD SAYS. (NOT WHAT SOME IGNORANT INDIVIDUAL HAS TOLD YOU HE SAYS.) GOD SAYS THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BIND AND LOOSE. THESE AND THE FOLLOWING ARE CLEAR, DIRECT STATEMENTS THAT ARE EASY TO UNDERSTAND. PLEASE BELIEVE GOD!

THESE VERSES DISPROVE THE EXTREME FALLACY THAT GOD ALLOWS ANYTHING TO COME AGAINST HIS CHILDREN. IF THINGS COME INTO YOUR LIFE THAT YOU DO NOT WANT THERE, IT IS BECAUSE OF YOUR LACK OF FAITH, UNBELIEF, IGNORANCE OR CLOSENESS TO GOD.

Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things [are] possible to him that believeth.

IN MARK 9:23 (ABOVE) ALL THINGS (LITERALLY) ARE POSSIBLE TO YOU AND YET YOU STILL ALLOW BAD THINGS IN YOUR LIFE AND THEN BLAME THEM ON GOD, AS AN EXCUSE FOR WHY THEY HAPPENED. THERE IS A PROBLEM OF ACCEPTANCE OF RESPONSIBILITY AND OF UNBELIEF. YOU HAVE ONLY ONE REQUIREMENT TO FORCE MARK 9:23 TO OPERATE IN YOUR LIFE, BELIEF. YOU (NOT GOD) CONTROL WHETHER YOU BELIEVE.

Mark 11:23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

IN MARK 11:23 (ABOVE) YOU MUST DECIDE WHETHER YOU BELIEVE THE WORD OF GOD OR YOUR OWN OPINION. IN THIS VERSE GOD HAS AGAIN TAKEN THE POWER AWAY FROM HIMSELF TO ALLOW ANYTHING IN THE LIFE OF HIS CHILDREN. WHATEVER YOU BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART AND SAY WITH YOUR MOUTH, GOOD OR BAD, YOU CAUSE IN YOUR LIFE. GOD HAS GIVEN YOU THIS RESPONSIBILITY, SO STOP ALLOWING PEOPLE TO BLAME HIM!!

Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever (EVERYTHING) ye desire, (WANTS, NOT NEEDS) when ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them].

IN MARK 11:24 (ABOVE) GOD STATES THAT IF YOU BELIEVE WHEN YOU PRAY YOU SHALL HAVE EVERYTHING THAT YOU ASK. IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN GET EVERYTHING YOU WANT FROM GOD, WE HAVE FOUND YOUR PROBLEM. YOU THINK GOD IS A LIAR AND IN THIS STATUS YOU ALLOW ALL TYPES OF PROBLEMS IN YOUR LIFE.

Matthew 9:29 Then touched he their eyes, saying,According to your faith be it unto you.

MATTHEW 9:29 (ABOVE) PLEASE UNDERSTAND AND KNOW THAT IF YOUR FAITH IS STRONG YOU CAN LIVE A VICTORIOUS AND HEALTHY LIFE. YOU (NOT GOD) ARE THE CONTROLLER OF YOUR FAITH.

Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, (and hearing and studying and studying) and hearing by the word of God.

Galatians 3:5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

Mark 16:18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

(ABOVE) MARK 16:17-18 “AND THESE SIGNS SHALL FOLLOW THEM THAT BELIEVE..(EVERY TRUE BELIEVER) THEY SHALL LAY HANDS ON THE SICK AND THEY SHALL RECOVER.” DO YOU THINK WE CAN TWIST THOSE TWO VERSES ENOUGH TO MAKE IT GOD’S FAULT IF THEY ARE NOT HEALED OR MUST WE FACE THE REALITY THAT IT IS BECAUSE OF OUR UNBELIEF? GOD’S DECLARED WILL IN THESE TWO VERSES IS “THESE SIGNS SHALL FOLLOW THEM THAT BELIEVE…THEY SHALL RECOVER.” THEREFORE, WE CANNOT USE THE OLD WORN OUT EXCUSE, “IT MUST NOT HAVE BEEN GOD’S WILL.” IT IS OBVIOUS FROM THESE TWO VERSES THAT IT IS GOD’S WILL TO HEAL EVERYONE ON WHOM YOU LAY YOUR HANDS, IF YOU ARE A BELIEVER.

IT IS NOW TIME TO LAY JOB TO REST AS AN EXAMPLE THAT NEW TESTAMENT (CONTRACT, COVENANT) CHRISTIANS MUST HAVE SICKNESS AND PROBLEMS; CONCERNING JOB, GOD ACTUALLY SICCED SATAN ON JOB WHEN HE ASKED SATAN, “HAST THOU CONSIDERED MY SERVANT JOB” AND THEN HE GAVE THE DEVIL CONTROL OF JOB’S LIFE. GOD CANNOT, CANNOT, CANNOT DO THIS TO YOU. HE NO LONGER HAS THE AUTHORITY TO TURN YOU OVER TO SATAN. AS PROOF THAT GOD HAS VOLUNTARILY TAKEN THAT AUTHORITY AWAY FROM HIMSELF, AND GIVEN IT TO YOU, STUDY THE FOLLOWING TWO VERSES. JAMES 4:7, LUKE 10:19

James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

(JAMES 4:7 above) IF YOU SUBMIT AND RESIST (THE CHOICE IS YOURS) THEN THIS MIGHTY PROMISE OF GOD TAKES EFFECT AND SATAN MUST (CANNOT REFUSE) FLEE. YOU (NOT GOD) ARE THE UNIQUE (ONLY) CONTROLLER OF WHETHER YOU FULFILL THESE TWO REQUIREMENTS OR NOT. IF YOU DO FULFILL THEM, THE DEVIL HAS NO CHOICE, HE WILL FLEE AS DECREED BY GOD, IF YOU DO NOT FULFILL THEM, SATAN WILL DESTROY YOU, SO PLEASE UNDERSTAND, GOD HAS VOLUNTARILY TAKEN CONTROL OF SATAN AWAY FROM HIMSELF AND GIVEN ABSOLUTE CONTROL OF SATAN TO YOU. (AND YOU ONLY) CONCERNING YOUR LIFE.

Luke 10:19 Behold, I (GOD) give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

(Luke 10:19) Behold, I (GOD) give unto you power(1) to tread(2) on serpents(3) and scorpions, and over all the power(4) of the enemy(5): and nothing shall by any means hurt(6) you.

STUDY THE GREEK MEANING FOR THE NUMBERED WORDS IN LUK. 10:19 PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE TWO DIFFERENT KINDS OF POWER. KEEP IN MIND, GOD HAS GIVEN THIS OMNIPOTENCE (OVER YOUR LIFE) TO YOU, HE DID NOT ESTABLISH IT FOR HIMSELF.

POWER(1) GREEK WORD: EXOUSIA; MEANING IN ENGLISH: PRIVILEGE, STRENGTH, AUTHORITY, THE RIGHT, DELEGATED INFLUENCE.

TREAD(2) GREEK WORD: PATEO; ENGLISH MEANING; TO TRAMPLE, STOMP, SNUFF OUT, CRUSH, INJURE, BEAT, TORMENT.

SERPENTS(3) GREEK WORD: OPHIS; MEANING IN ENGLISH; SATAN, AN ARTFUL MALICIOUS PERSON, A SNAKE, FIGURATIVELY AS A TYPE OF SLY CUNNING.

POWER(4) GREEK WORD: DUNAMIS; MEANING IN ENGLISH; FORCE, MIRACULOUS POWER, A MIRACLE ITSELF, MIGHTY WORK, STRENGTH.

ENEMY(5) GREEK WORD: ECHTHROS; MEANING IN ENGLISH; SATAN, FOE, ADVERSARY.

HURT(6) GREEK WORD: ADIKEO; MEANING IN ENGLISH; OFFEND, DO WRONG, INJURE

LUKE 10:19 (ABOVE PARAPHRASED USING GREEK MEANINGS) BEHOLD, I (GOD) GIVE UNTO YOU CONTROL OF THE DEVIL AND YOUR ENEMIES AND AUTHORITY OVER ALL THE MIRACULOUS POWER OF SATAN, AND NOTHING (NATURAL OR SUPERNATURAL) SHALL BY ANY MEANS DO YOU WRONG OR INJURE YOU. (PRAISE GOD!!!WHAT MORE CAN WE ASK FOR?) IF WE DO NOT TAKE CONTROL OVER ALL THE POWER OF THE ENEMY AND IF WE ALLOW THINGS TO INJURE US, ARE WE NOT ILLOGICAL? GOD HAS JUST GIVEN US A PROMISE THAT NOTHING CAN BY ANY MEANS OFFEND OR HURT US, IF WE DO NOT ALLOW IT. HOW CAN WE BLAME GOD FOR THE TRASH WE ALLOW IN OUR LIVES?

IN JAMES 1:13-14 BELOW THE WORD TEMPTED AND TEMPTETH IN THE GREEK IS PEIRAZO, MEANING “TO TEST”, THEREFORE, IN THE GREEK THE VERSE WOULD READ “LET NO MAN SAY WHEN HE IS TESTED, I AM TESTED OF GOD: FOR GOD CANNOT BE TESTED WITH EVIL, NEITHER TESTS HE ANY MAN:

James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, (TESTED) I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth (TESTS) he any man:

James 1:14 But every man is tempted, (TESTED) when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

James 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

James 1:16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.

James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, (TRY TO CONVINCE YOUR FIVE YEAR OLD THAT IF GOD ALLOWED OR CAUSED MOTHER TO HAVE CANCER AND DIE IT WAS A GOOD AND PERFECT GIFT) and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, (NO VARIABLENESS MEANS THAT GOD DOES NOT VARY. HE DOES NOT MAKE YOU SICK TODAY AND HEAL YOU TOMORROW, CAUSE YOU PROBLEMS TODAY AND SOLVE THEM TOMORROW. THAT WOULD BE VARIABLENESS AND DOUBLE MINDEDNESS WHICH THING GOD CONDEMNS IN JAMES 1:6-8), neither shadow of turning.

ASK YOUR PREACHER (TEACHER) TO EXPLAIN WHAT “SHADOW OF TURNING” MEANS IN THE ABOVE VERSE. WHY DO YOUR INTELLIGENT TEACHERS CONTINUE TO TEACH THAT GOD TESTS HIS CHILDREN WHEN JAMES 1:13, 14 ABOVE SO CLEARLY STATE THAT HE DOES NOT. IT TAKES A GOOD THEOLOGIAN TO HELP YOU MISUNDERSTAND BIBLE VERSES. GOD INTENDED THEM TO BE EASY TO UNDERSTAND.

II Corinthians 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, (HARD TO UNDERSTAND) it is hid (HARD TO UNDERSTAND) to them that are lost:

I John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have (ALREADY) received (PAST TENSE) of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

DO YOU HAVE THIS ANOINTING THAT GOD SPEAKS OF IN 1 JOHN 2:27? IF YOU DO NOT, ASK YOUR TEACHER TO EXPLAIN, WHY NOT.

THE JOB DESCRIPTION OF THE HOLY GHOST IS TO GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH.

John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

THE FOUR VERSES BELOW EXPLAIN THAT IF YOU ARE SAVED YOU HAVE ALREADY (PAST TENSE) BEEN GIVEN MUCH POWER THAT YOU CAN USE IF YOU HAVE FAITH.

Luke 17:6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

Luke 24:49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. JOHN 14:12 IS A PROPHECY MADE BY CHRIST. BE ASSURED, IT SHALL BE FULFILLED IN SOMEONE. TRY TO BE THAT SOMEONE.

Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask (YOUR CHOICE) what ye will, (DESIRE) and it shall be done unto you.

JOHN 15:7 (ABOVE) IF YOU ABIDE (REMAIN, STAY, DWELL, LIVE) IN CHRIST AND MAKE HIS (CHRIST’S) WORDS ABIDE IN YOU, (THEN) YOU CAN TOTALLY (100%) CONTROL YOUR OWN LIFE. THE CHOICE IS YOUR’S. PLEASE BELIEVE THE BIBLE AND STOP BLAMING GOD FOR THE MESS YOU ALLOW IN YOUR LIFE!!

I John 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

1 JOHN 3:22 (ABOVE) KEEP (ALL) HIS COMMANDMENTS AND DO (ONLY THOSE THINGS) THAT ARE PLEASING IN HIS SIGHT AND YOU HAVE COMPLETE (PERFECT, IDEAL, WHATSOEVER YOU ASK) CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE. THE CHOICE IS YOURS.

II Peter 1:3 According as his divine power hath given (PAST TENSE, ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED) unto us all things (EVERYTHING) that [pertain] unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue. (DO WE NEED ANYTHING ELSE?)

ALL VERSES KJV

UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE FOLLOWING LIST, TAKEN FROM THE ABOVE VERSES, IS GOD’S DECLARED (STATED) WILL (COMMAND, DECREE, CHOICE) FOR YOU. IF WE DO NOT USE THIS MIGHTY DELEGATED AUTHORITY CAN WE IN GOOD CONSCIENCE BLAME GOD?

1.”NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE UNTO YOU” (MAT.17:20)

“SHALL BE BOUND…LOOSED IN HEAVEN.” (MAT.18:18)

“ALL THINGS POSSIBLE TO HIM THAT BELIEVETH.” (MAR. 9:23)

“HE SHALL HAVE WHATSOEVER HE SAITH.” (MAR.11:23)

“BELIEVE THAT YOU RECEIVE…YE SHALL HAVE.” (MAR.11:24)

“LAY HANDS ON SICK…THEY SHALL RECOVER. “MAR.16:18

“NOTHING SHALL BY ANY MEANS HURT YOU. “LUK.10:19

“ENDUED WITH POWER FROM ON HIGH. “(LUK.24:49)

“GREATER WORKS..SHALL YOU DO.” (JOH.14:12)

“ASK WHAT YOU WILL. IT SHALL BE DONE UNTO YOU.” ( JOH.15:7)

11.”WHATSOEVER WE ASK WE RECEIVE. ” (1JOH.3:22)

12.”ALREADY GIVEN US EVERY THING THAT PERTAINS TO LIFE AND GODLINESS” (2 PET.1:3)

Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever (EVERYTHING, GOOD OR BAD) a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

(ABOVE) GAL.6:7 IS CALLED THE “LAW OF SOWING AND REAPING.” HERE GOD TAKES HIMSELF OUT OF THE PICTURE (AGAIN) AND PROMISES YOU THAT YOU HAVE ABSOLUTE CONTROL OF EVERYTHING (GOOD OR BAD) THAT COMES INTO YOUR LIFE.

IN GAL. 6:7 (ABOVE) THE ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH PROMISES YOU THAT IF YOU WILL FORCE YOURSELF TO GO THROUGH LIFE DOING NOTHING BUT GOODNESS, YOU WILL REAP NOTHING BUT GOODNESS. IF YOU DO BAD YOU WILL RECEIVE BAD, BUT YOU ARE THE CONTROLLING AGENT, NOT GOD.

IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE BELIEVING THESE PROMISES, “FAITH COMETH BY HEARING AND HEARING AND HEARING (AND STUDYING) THE WORD OF GOD.” ROM. 10:17

IF YOU HEAR A PREACHER, TEACHER STAND AND DECLARE, “YOU CANNOT WALK THE MOUNTAIN TOPS (GOOD TIMES) ALL THE TIME YOU MUST COME DOWN INTO THE VALLEYS.” (BAD TIMES) FLEE THIS MAN BECAUSE HE IS TEACHING YOU HIS DOCTRINE NOT “THUS SAITH THE WORD OF THE LORD.”

GAL.6:7 (THE LAW OF SOWING AND REAPING) SAYS IF YOU WILL SOW ONLY THE MOUNTAIN TOPS YOU WILL REAP ONLY THE MOUNTAIN TOPS. THE MAJORITY OF US ARE STUPID IN THE FACT THAT WE SOW BAD (THE VALLEYS) AND GOOD (THE MOUNTAIN TOPS) AND SO, WE REAP BAD AND GOOD BUT LET US BE INTELLIGENT ENOUGH NOT TO BLAME GOD FOR THE BAD THAT WE SOW, AND CAUSE OURSELVES TO REAP.

UNDERSTAND THAT THE ABOVE PROMISES (VOWS, GUARANTEES, COVENANTS, PLEDGES, ASSURANCES) ARE MADE BY AN OMNIPOTENT GOD TO HIS BELOVED CHILDREN. EACH OF THE ABOVE CONTRACTS HAS REQUIREMENTS THAT YOU MUST MEET BEFORE THE CONTRACT WILL BE EFFECTIVE IN YOUR LIFE. SOME OF THE REQUIREMENTS ARE FAITH, BELIEF, SAYING THE CORRECT WORDS, KEEPING HIS COMMANDMENTS, AND PLEASING GOD. YOU AND ONLY YOU (NOT GOD) CONTROL WHETHER YOU MEET THESE REQUIREMENTS OR NOT.

IF YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD, ACT LIKE ONE. STOP ACCUSING THE ALMIGHTY GOD FOR THE RIDICULOUS THINGS YOU ALLOW IN YOUR LIFE.

DOES NOT YOUR RENEWED MIND AND SPIRIT SCREAM WHEN SOME SCRIPTURALLY ILLITERATE ACCUSES YOUR LOVING HEAVENLY FATHER OF DOING HORRIBLE SATANIC THINGS TO HIS CHILDREN?

John 10:10 The thief (satan) cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I (JESUS) am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

(JOHN 10:10 ABOVE) IF YOU HAVE A STRONG’S GREEK DICTIONARY THE NUMBER OF THE WORD LIFE IS 2222 DERIVED FROM (COMPARE) NUMBER 5590 WHICH CLEARLY STATES THAT 2222 MEANS “VITALITY, EVEN LIKE PLANTS”. THE IGNORANT TRY TO TEACH YOU THAT THIS WORD, LIFE (ZOE) MEANS SPIRITUAL LIFE. IT ABSOLUTELY AND CLEARLY MEANS PHYSICAL LIFE ONLY!! AFTER YOU CHECK THIS IN YOUR GREEK DICTIONARY (GET YOUR PREACHER TO SHOW YOU IN THE GREEK DICT. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ONE YOUR LIBRARY WILL HAVE ONE FOR YOU TO USE) AND SEE THAT THE WORD LIFE IN JOHN 10:10 IS PHYSICAL LIFE ONLY YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT GOD COULD NOT CAUSE OR ALLOW YOU TO BE SICK OR HE WOULD BE WORKING DIRECTLY AGAINST THE PRINCIPLES HE SENT CHRIST TO DIE FOR.

JOHN 10:10 SAYS (IN THE GREEK) VERY CLEARLY THAT ONE OF THE REASONS JESUS CAME IS SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE A WONDERFUL, HAPPY, NEVER SICK, BLESSED PHYSICAL LIFE.

STUDY MATT.6:10; LUKE 11:2 AND UNDERSTAND THAT THESE TWO VERSES SAY THAT GOD’S WILL IS FOR YOU TO LIVE EVERYDAY IN THE SAME CONDITION THAT YOUR LOVED ONES ARE IN, IN HEAVEN. (PERFECTION) IF SOME IGNORANT PERSON TRIES TO CONVINCE YOU DIFFERENTLY CALL ME AT (256) 208-7777 AND I WILL COME AND DEBATE THE SCRIPTURES WITH HIM, IN YOUR PRESENCE.

HOW CAN WE EVER HAVE FAITH IN A GOD (HEAVENLY FATHER) THAT WE ARE TAUGHT MIGHT TURN AGAINST US TOMORROW AND HORRIBLY TORTURE (CANCER, SICKNESS) US TO DEATH?

YOU HAVE KNOWN MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL WITH A PAINFUL, LIFE THREATENING DISEASE AND LATER DECLARED “I HAD A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO WITNESS ABOUT GOD.” A GREAT WITNESS CONSIDERING THE SATANIC (UNSAVED, ATHEISTIC) WORLD KNOWS ABOUT THIS (BLASPHEMOUS) DOCTRINE, TAUGHT BY THE BODY OF CHRIST, OF JEHOVAH TORTURING HIS OWN CHILDREN. LITERALLY, THIS PERSON THAT IS IN GREAT PAIN IS SAYING, (IF THIS SICK PERSON BELIEVES THAT GOD CAUSES OR ALLOWS ALL THINGS) “I INVITE YOU TO BE SAVED AND BECOME A CHILD OF JEHOVAH AND IF YOU ARE OBEDIENT TO HIM AND LOVE HIM, HE WILL LOVE YOU AND POSSIBLY GIVE YOU THE SAME HORRIBLE DISEASE HE GAVE ME.”

THIS LIE ABOUT GOD AFFLICTING HIS OWN CHILDREN IS “THE” MOST DAMNABLE HERESY (AMONG MANY) TAUGHT BY THE IGNORANT IN THE BODY OF CHRIST.

IF YOU HAVE VERSES (NOT OPINIONS) TO CONTEND WITH THE ABOVE CONCLUSIONS, I WILL BE VERY INTERESTED IN HEARING FROM YOU.

YOU ARE A NEW (NEW TESTAMENT) CREATION AND HAVE A NEW AND BETTER CONTRACT WITH GOD, SO, IF YOU WISH TO CONTEND WITH ME ON THIS MATTER, PLEASE USE NEW TESTAMENT SCRIPTURE. IT WOULD NOT BE INTELLIGENT TO LIVE UNDER A WORSE COVENANT WITH WORSE PROMISES.
