<b> GOD'S OWN IMAGE</b><br /><br />In the beginning, God created man in His own IMAGE. In the IMAGE of GOD Himself. Since the fall, MANKIND began making images of things they could see with their eyes and touch with their hands to serve as gods. God proclaimed through the prophets the foolishness of this:<br /><br /><i>Thus saith the Lord , Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. 3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. 4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. 5 They are upright as the palm tree, but SPEAK NOT: they must needs be borne, because they CANNOT GO.

<b>GOD COMMANDS AGAINST MAKING IMAGES</b><br /><br />Through the prophets, God admonished man and commanded them to make NO images of things in heaven, on earth or under the earth to serve them as gods:<br /><br /><i>Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: (Exod 20:4 KJV)</i><br /><br /> <b><br /><br /> </b></div>

Written by Bruce Shaulis 11/20/2017<br /><br />James, a servant of GOD 'AND' (*) of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.<br />JAMES 1:1<br /><br />Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, 'AND' of the Son, 'AND' of the Holy Ghost:<br />MATTHEW 28:19<br /><br />If we apply the SAME rule of grammar to JAMES 1:1 as MANY do to MATTHEW 28:19 to prove that there is a COUNCIL of SEPARATE PERSONS who serve as the ONE GOD IN THE GODHEAD, we would have to come to the conclusion that Jesus is NOT GOD because, using THIS definition, James would be creating an ANTITHESIS between GOD and JESUS in this verse. Of course we KNOW that JESUS IS GOD ALMIGHTY IN THE FLESH according to His own testimony and that of His prophets (REVELATION 1:8, JOHN 10:30, JOHN 14:10, COLOSSIANS 1:15, HEBREWS 1:3, ISAIAH 9:6. JOHN 8:58, MATTHEW 28:18, 1 TIMOTHY 3:16, ISAIAH 42:13, JOHN 10:30, etc.)<br /><br />(*) STRONG'S EXHAUSTIVE CONCORDANCE<br /><br />2532 kaí (the most common NT conjunction, used over 9,000 times) – AND (ALSO), very often, MOREOVER, EVEN, INDEED (the context determines the exact sense).<br /><br />[After 2532 (kaí), the most common word in the Greek NT is the definite article ("the"). 2532 (kaí) is NEVER ADVERSATIVE (1), i.e. it never means "however" ("but") – unlike the principal conjunction (waw) in OT Hebrew (G. Archer).]<br /><br />(1) ADVERSATIVE - (of a word or phrase) expressing opposition or antithesis.<br /></div>
<div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="7pfm5" data-offset-key="3m30p-0-0">
Clearly STRONG's makes it EXTREMELY CLEAR that the use of the GREEK word 'KAI' translated into English means; ALSO. It has NO meaning that creates a SEPARATION or ANTITHESIS (2) in the subjects of the sentence. Considering so many people who SPIN these verses, and others, to mean a SEPARATION, are VERY EDUCATED and KNOWLEDGABLE people, the only explanation left is to say they are being DISHONEST when they teach that this word creates an ANTITHESIS between the subjects of the sentence. The only reason I can think of for them to do this is to SHAPE the Bible to fit their own CHURCH or DENOMINATIONAL DOCTRINE. <br /><br />As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest (TWIST or PERVERT), as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.<br />2 PETER 3:16<br /><br />(2) ANTITHESIS - a person or thing that is the direct OPPOSITE of SOMEONE or something ELSE.<br /><br />IF WE ARE HONEST WE HAVE TO INTERPRET THESE VERSES AS FOLLOWS:<br /><br />James, a servant of GOD EVEN, MOREOVER, OR INDEED the LORD JESUS CHRIST, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.<br />JAMES 1:1<br /></div>
<div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="7pfm5" data-offset-key="3m30p-0-0">
Go ye therefore, AND (3) teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, EVEN, MOREOVER, OR INDEED the Son, EVEN, MOREOVER, OR INDEED the Holy Ghost:<br />MATTHEW 28:19<br /><br />Interpreted correctly, these verses CLEARLY state that Jesus IS the FATHER, the SON and the HOLY GHOST as other scriptures CLEARLY DENOTE. <br /><br />(3) The Greek word KAI is NOT USED when Jesus tells His disciples to go into all the world, AND teach all nations. This word, AND, was added by the translators and does NOT appear in the Received Text Greek. The Received Text actually says,"HAVING GONE INTO ALL THE WORLD, DISCIPLE ALL THE NATIONS...."<br /><br />WHAT A DIFFERENCE ONE WORD MAKES WHEN IT IS INTERPRETED INCORRECTLY AND NOT SCRUTINIZED WITH THE REST OF SCRIPTURE and the under the direction of the SPIRIT of TRUTH who IS THE HOLY GHOST.</div>

Most people take these two verses to mean that Jesus does not know the day or the hour that He HIMSELF will return to earth. But is that REALLY what He meant when He spoke these words? Considering the context of the WHOLE Bible, this creates quite the contradiction if that interpretation is valid. How could Jesus know EVERY detail of the future as He taught His disciples EXCEPT for this ONE detail about when HE HIMSELF would return? How could He know the THOUGHTS of everyone around Him but NOT know the day of His OWN return? How could He know SO MUCH about scripture and theology when He was ONLY 12 years old to be teaching the religious rulers in the temple but NOT know this ONE THING?</div>

5207 hyiós – properly, a son (by birth or adoption); (figuratively) anyone sharing the same nature as their Father. For the believer, becoming a son of God begins with being reborn (adopted) by the heavenly Father – through Christ (the work of the eternal Son). In the NT, 5207 /hyiós ("son") equally REFERS TO FEMALE believers (Gal 3:28).</div>

The word ‘SON’ only shows up in ONE of these verses in MARK which was translated from the GREEK word, ‘HUIOS’. This word CAN mean just a single person who is a SON OR it can mean DESCENDANTS. Context is necessary to understand which definition is to be applied.</div>

<span style="color: #1d2129;">Clearly if you INTERPRET MARK 13:32 in light of the TRINITY DOCTRINE, you will be FORCED to interpret this verse so that JESUS is DEMOTED to LESSER than the Father. This brings up a whole host of OTHER conflicts concerning the MAJESTY of JESUS HIMSELF and His own declaration about being BEFORE ALL THINGS. Your understanding will be construed to mean that Jesus is somehow LESSER IN STATURE and KNOWLEDGE, SEPARATE from the FATHER and submissive to His will which is somehow DIFFERENT than His own. This is the very theology of Gnosticism and Jewish Mysticism which makes Jesus a DEMIURGE. But, if you choose to be HONEST and seek the TRUTH by applying the WHOLE CONTEXT of the REST of scripture, you will have to conclude that there is NOTHING that JESUS doesn’t know and therefore must BELIEVE HIM when He says, </span><br /><span style="color: blue;">“I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE.” JOHN 10:30</span></div>

Paul chooses an interesting way to describe our body. He calls it a VESSEL. </div>
<div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="bcjee" data-offset-key="f51qi-0-0">
VESSEL= a hollow container, especially one used to hold liquid, such as a bowl or cask.</div>

<br /> </div>
<div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="bcjee" data-offset-key="f51qi-0-0">
That is exactly what our body is, A HOLLOW CONTAINER. If you have ever watched someone die you will have to admit that after the person has passed their body looks only like inanimate material. You can tell there is no more life in it. That is because the person has left their CONTAINER. The person is a spirit who controls that container as long as they dwell in it. But after they leave it, it can no longer function because the spirit IS THE LIFE OF THE BODY. JOHN 6:63 <br /><br /> That is exactly what the body of Jesus is, the CONTAINER of GOD. God is a Spirit. JOHN 4:24 He DWELLED in the body of Jesus. So Jesus is the CONTAINER of GOD HIMSELF. The Bible calls the body of Jesus, the TABERNACLE or DWELLING PLACE of God, (HEBREWS 9:11). The body is the Son of God because it was created WITHOUT hands in the body of a VIRGIN by the Holy Spirit who is God, JOHN 4:24, which also makes Him the Father of the VESSEL of JESUS. God put HIMSELF, all of the fullness of the Godhead, (COLOSSIANS 2:9), in this CONTAINER, the body of JESUS. We know that God CANNOT be contained. That is why Jesus said that the Father was GREATER than Him, (JOHN 14:28). That simply means that God exists EVERYWHERE, not just in the body of Jesus because God is a Spirit who is omnipresent. <br /><br /> The spirit of a person is who that person REALLY is. The thoughts, emotions and feelings of the person originate in the spirit and are manifested by the flesh. That is also what God did in the body of Jesus, the Son of God.<br /><br /> The Bible says in Hebrews and Colossians that Jesus is the IMAGE of God. Paul says in 1 Timothy that God was MANIFESTED in the FLESH. God who is a Spirit manifested His thoughts, emotions and feelings, that is; His WILL or WORD in a VESSEL of flesh called Jesus, who is the Son of God our Savior. That is how Jesus could tell Phillip that anyone who has seen Him has seen the Father because His Father is the Holy Spirit of God who dwells in the body of Jesus. He gave His vessel up to be killed as a sacrifice for our sins and then raised it back up in the Glory of the Father.<br /><br /><br /> Today that RESURRECTED VESSEL, that is, the body of Christ is sitting on the Throne in Heaven (REVELATION 21:5-7). God, who is the Holy Spirit and Father of Jesus, is still dwelling in that VESSEL OF FLESH we call the Son of God. The body of God is the LAMB OF GOD that was slain from the foundation of the world. <br /><br />To wit, that GOD WAS IN CHRIST, reconciling the world unto himself,<br />2 CORINTHIANS 5:19</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px;">There is a great delusion being taught today that says that Jesus had no power until He was baptized by John in the Jordan River and, they say, received the Holy Ghost. This delusion, in my opinion, is birthed by a false belief that God is a GROUP of PEOPLE who share the same essence. But this is NOT what the Bible teaches about Him. Over and over from Genesis to Revelation, the Bible states that GOD IS ONE. If Jesus is God in the flesh (1 TIMOTHY 3:16</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px;">) as the Bible clearly denotes Him to be over and over, How could He NOT have power? Especially since He is the creator of all things (JOHN 1:3</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px;">). Was Jesus just an ordinary man like us who BECAME GOD or was He the Lord from Heaven as Paul clearly teaches in Corinthians? Did Jesus BECOME GOD at His baptism? Are the Mormons correct in that anyone can BECOME GOD? Or was Jesus just ENDOWED with the Christ Spirit at that point as the Gnostics believe? Are we little gods like Kenneth Copeland and others teach? God forbid. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px;">As Christians, we accept the fact that Jesus is God IN THE FLESH. If that is true are these false teachers trying to say that God had NO POWER until He received the Holy Ghost? How ridiculous. A belief in the Trinity doctrine that says that there is a GROUP of DIFFERENT persons in the Godhead who share the same ESSENCE (same definition the Pagans used for their deity) will easily afford this delusion to flourish because it teaches that Jesus is LESSER in power than the Father. It teaches that He is NOT the Holy Spirit though He clearly claims to be in JOHN 14, REVELATION 1:8</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px;"> and Paul says straight out that the Lord IS THAT SPIRIT (2 CORINTHIANS 3:17</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px;">). </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px;">If we take the Bible at surface value and test everything like the Bereans did with scripture alone, we will have to accept that God is ONE LORD. If we believe that God is one as DEUTERONOMY 6:4</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px;"> clearly states, and Jesus is God as Thomas clearly believed, (JOHN 20:28</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px;"> And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God,) and God is a SPIRIT as Jesus clearly said in (JOHN 4:24</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px;">), then Jesus is, was and always will be GOD as He testifies of Himself in (REVELATION 1:8</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px;"> I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, THE ALMIGHTY.) He testifies of Himself that He is the 'I AM' that spoke with Moses in JOHN 8:58</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px;">. And as it says in (HEBREWS 13:8</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px;"> Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.) </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px;">I think that clearly settles the fact that Jesus has always been, is and always will be God. With that behind us, did Jesus NOT have the Holy Ghost before He was baptized in the Jordan river by John? Well if the Lord IS THAT SPIRIT as we discussed earlier from Paul's teaching, how could He not HAVE THE SPIRIT? If we are to believe scripture the way it is written, then GOD is only one person. Nowhere does scripture explicitly teach that God is a GROUP of DIFFERENT people with the same ESSENCE. That is a Pagan doctrine, not one that the apostles taught. The passage that is used to support the position that Jesus received power when He was baptized by John in the Jordan River is JOHN 1 where the Spirit came down and rested on Jesus like a dove. If we read the whole context about this event we come to JOHN 1:32</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px;"> that says;</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px;">And John bare record, saying, I SAW THE SPIRIT descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. 33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, UPON WHOM THOU SHALT SEE the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. 34 AND I SAW AND BARE RECORD that this is the Son of God.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px;">Clearly then, this is the witness of John the Baptist who was waiting for this sign to appear TO HIM. He testifies that HE SAW the Spirit descend like a dove and rest on Jesus. This was a VISION experienced by John the Baptist of which he testifies clearly in scripture. In no way does the context describe this event as a definition of who God is or that Jesus received the Holy Ghost that day with power, inferring that He had no power before that. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px;">It is clear in scripture that Jesus is the IMAGE of God in the flesh. If I look in the mirror, I will see my own IMAGE which is an EXACT representation of me. It is NOT another person. It is my own IMAGE. That is who Jesus is; the IMAGE of GOD in a FLESH body. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px;">I warn everyone who is reading this to check out EVERYTHING you are hearing with the TRUE Word of God, the RECEIVED TEXT, and ask Jesus to lead you into ALL truth by His Holy Spirit of Truth that resides in your inner man.</span><br />

only ONE SPIRIT of GOD dwelling there. </span>
</div>

<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">
Nowhere does God tell Moses that there are MORE THAN ONE PERSONS
dwelling in the tabernacle. He never refers to Himself in the plural
when describing the tabernacle. </span>
</div>

<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">
The priests went into the first tabernacle to perform service for the
people on a regular basis</span><span style="color: #c5000b;"> (HEBREWS 9:6).
</span><span style="color: black;">This tabernacle was a WORLDLY sanctuary
and represents man's worship to God in the flesh.</span><span style="color: #c5000b;">
</span><span style="color: black;">The High Priest went into the second
tabernacle by himself ONCE a year to offer the blood of the
sacrifices for himself and all of the people but these sacrifices
could NEVER give them a pure conscience.</span><span style="color: #c5000b;">
(HEBREWS 9:7, HEBREWS 10:1-2) </span><span style="color: black;">This
tabernacle is the one that represents the SPIRITUAL SANCTUARY where
God meets with man on a ONE TO ONE basis. This is clear because only
ONE, the High Priest, entered this tabernacle only ONCE a year which
represents a person asking God into their heart by accepting His
sacrifice of Jesus ONCE for all sins. Jesus BECAME this High Priest
for us FOREVER. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
God commanded Moses to build this
temple but God Himself built His OWN dwelling place in these last
days which is Jesus, the Son of God. He is the tabernacle built
WITHOUT human hands by God Himself. <span style="color: #c5000b;">(JOHN
2:19, MATTHEW 1:23, REVELATION 21:3, HEBREWS 9:11) </span><span style="color: black;">The
tabernacle of Moses was a representation of what God was going to
make in the last days. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #c5000b;"><span style="color: black;">
The purpose of the sacrifices was to make a person's conscience
clear. The Altar of Incense represents the prayers of a person.</span>
(REVELATION 8:3-4) <span style="color: black;">The candlestick represents
the Light of God that came into the world. Jesus is the TRUE LIGHT
that illuminates our soul to God.</span> (JOHN 1:9) <span style="color: black;">The
outer court represents man's effort to make himself acceptable to God
but notice that it is the OUTER court. Everyone who tries to justify
himself must stay in the OUTER COURT apart from God. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #c5000b;"><span style="color: black;">
The VEIL of the INNER sanctuary represents the FLESH BODY OF
JESUS which surrounds the Spirit of God who sits on the MERCY SEAT.
</span>(HEBREWS 10:20) <span style="color: black;">It was this TRUE
TABERNACLE that God made for Himself to dwell in through the body of
a virgin named Mary.</span> <span style="color: black;">Here we can see a
CLEAR description of the nature of God: The Flesh Body of Jesus (the
veil) and the Spirit of God, The Holy Spirit, the Everlasting Father
dwelling inside.</span> (JOHN 14:10, ISAIAH 9:6) <span style="color: black;">This
is how Jesus could claim that He and His Father are ONE.</span> (JOHN
10:20) <span style="color: black;">The body of Jesus is the TRUE TABERNACLE
where all of the fullness of God dwells forever.</span> (COLOSSIANS
2:9)</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #c5000b;"> <span style="color: black;">Clearly
we can see through the symbolism of the MAN MADE tabernacle that God
is INDEED ONE LORD dwelling in the tabernacle NOT MADE by MAN, JESUS
CHRIST. </span></span>

<span style="font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: -0.24px;">While I am not one to resist peaceful coexistence and tolerance, it is interesting to note that the message we are hearing from President Trump is not a new message but the same message we heard from Gorbachev, Regan, Bush Sr. and many others in the 20th century about a NEW WORLD ORDER. </span></div>

<div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="7l0a5-0-0" style="font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: -0.24px;">In 1957, Dag Hammarskjöld and the "Friends of the UN Meditation Room" provided a tiny room in the new headquarters of the UN as a place dedicated to silence, where people could withdraw INTO THEMSELVES, regardless of their faith, creed or religion. Mr. Hammarskjöld's dedication of this room is quite revealing:</span></div>
</div>
<div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="97ptd" data-offset-key="da974-0-0" style="background-color: white; color: #4b4f56; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.24px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="da974-0-0" style="font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: -0.24px;">This house, dedicated to work and debate in the service of peace, should have one room dedicated to SILENCE in the OUTWARD sense and STILLNESS in the INNER sense. </span><span style="font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: -0.24px;">It has been the aim to create in this small room a place where the doors may be open to the infinite lands of thought and prayer. </span></div>

<div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="9sjq-0-0" style="font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: -0.24px;">People of many faiths will meet here, and for that </span>reason<span style="font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: -0.24px;"> none of the symbols to which we are accustomed in our meditation could be used.</span></div>

<div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="e0m7f-0-0" style="font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: -0.24px;">However, there are simple things which speak to us all with THE SAME LANGUAGE. We have sought for such things and we believe that we have found them in the shaft of light striking the shimmering surface of solid rock.</span></div>

<div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="cenan-0-0" style="font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: -0.24px;">So, in the middle of the room we see a symbol of how, daily, the light of the skies gives life to the earth on which we stand, a symbol to many of us of how the light of the spirit gives life to matter. </span></div>

<div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="8inj6-0-0" style="font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: -0.24px;">But the stone in the middle of the room has more to tell us. We may see it as an altar, empty not because THERE IS NO GOD, not because it is an altar to an UNKNOWN GOD, but because it is dedicated to the God whom man worships UNDER MANY NAMES and in MANY FORMS. http://www.un.org/Depts/dhl/dag/meditationroom.htm</span></div>

<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
For the law of the SPIRIT OF LIFE in Christ Jesus hath MADE ME FREE from the law of SIN AND DEATH. 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 IN THE FLESH: 4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk NOT AFTER THE FLESH, but AFTER THE SPIRIT. 5 For they that are after the flesh do MIND the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the THINGS OF THE SPIRIT. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then THEY THAT ARE IN THE FLESH CANNOT PLEASE GOD.<br />ROMANS 8:2-8</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Paul lays out TWO LAWS here:<br />1. The LAW of the SPIRIT OF LIFE in CHRIST JESUS.<br />AND<br />2. The LAW of SIN AND DEATH.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
The subject is about which one a person is FOLLOWING. He makes the CLEAR statement that those who follow the LAW OF SIN AND DEATH MIND (OBEY) the things of the flesh but those who are SPIRITUALLY MINDED OBEY the things of the SPIRIT which bears the fruit of LIFE AND PEACE.<br />This is where MANY people get hung up. They believe that if you believe in ETERNAL SECURITY you are believing that you can continue to SIN and STILL BE SAVED. But Paul is saying here that those who follow after the SPIRIT will be OBEYING the things of the SPIRIT. Clearly then, those who continue to SIN are following after the law of SIN AND DEATH, NOT THE SPIRIT. He says that these CANNOT PLEASE GOD. These people were spoken of in HEBREWS 6. They bore thorns and briars and were fit to be burned. But those who had the things that ACCOMPANY SALVATION are NOT CONDEMNED.</div>

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And THEY THAT ARE CHRIST'S have CRUCIFIED THE FLESH with the affections and lusts.<br />GALATIANS 5:16</div>
<div style="display: inline; font-family: inherit; margin-top: 6px;">
So then, when a person is born of the Spirit, He will be SPIRITUALLY MINDED and obey the things of the SPIRIT, NOT the things of the flesh like EXALTING his own works above the works of others, which is pride. He will not GLORIFY or try to SATISFY the flesh like ARGUING and DISPUTING about VAIN things that bear NO FRUIT of the Spirit. He that follows after SPIRITUAL things will NOT FACE CONDEMNATION because he has TESTIFIED by his own actions that the SPIRIT is TRUTH. But those who follow after the things of the flesh have TESTIFIED that the FLESH is his MASTER.</div>

Once we are BORN AGAIN (JOHN 3) we are a NEW CREATURE, one that desires to please God and shuns the ways of the world. We are LED by the Spirit and not the flesh if so be that we have received His Spirit into our hearts. Beginning at the moment of Spiritual baptism into Christ, WE ARE SAVED FOREVER. </div>
</div>
<div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="bglum" data-offset-key="6mte7-0-0" style="background-color: white; color: #4b4f56; font-family: "San Francisco", -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; letter-spacing: -0.24px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<br />
For by one offering he hath perfected FOREVER them that are sanctified. HEBREWS 10:14<br />
<span span="" style="letter-spacing: -0.24px;"> <span style="letter-spacing: -0.24px;">And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall NEVER perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. JOHN 10:28</span></span></div>
<div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="bglum" data-offset-key="6mte7-0-0" style="background-color: white; color: #4b4f56; font-family: "San Francisco", -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; letter-spacing: -0.24px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, THOU SHALT BE SAVED. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 FOR WHOSOEVER SHALL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED. ROMANS 10:9-13<br />
<span style="letter-spacing: -0.24px;">We are BAPTIZED into the SPIRIT of CHRIST at that moment. IT IS NOT A PROCESS, IT IS INSTANTANEOUS. There is nothing else required to be baptized in His Spirit but to believe in your heart and confess Him as YOUR LORD.</span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: -0.24px;">Sanctify them through thy truth: THY WORD is truth. JOHN 17:17</span><br />
The process of sanctification begins as the new believer learns to apply the Word of God to his life. He is now immersed in the Spirit of God and begins to conform his mind to the will of God.<br />
<span style="letter-spacing: -0.24px;">THIS IS SPIRITUAL BAPTISM - RECEIVING THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST </span><span style="letter-spacing: -0.24px;"> </span><br />
Once a person is BAPTIZED into the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, JESUS, into their heart, he begins his journey to the FORMATION of CHRIST through the SPIRIT. His mind begins to conform to the Word of God because he is being led by the Spirit. He is a NEW CREATURE. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 CORINTHIANS 5:17 <br />
He is NO LONGER born ONLY of the FLESH but he has been BORN AGAIN in the SPIRIT of the LIVING GOD. <br />
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN. 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. JOHN 3:6 <br />
The new believer is not BORN AGAIN by any HUMAN organization or religious system that can be SEEN with the naked eye. He is born in the Spirit. Following commandments becomes a huge issue in his new spiritual journey because he struggles between the old man who must EARN JUSTIFICATION and the NEW MAN who is JUSTIFIED by CHRIST ALONE and he begins to respond to the WILL of GOD out of love. Following the commandments of God is no longer necessary to be accepted by God because He has already been made acceptable by the Life, Death and Resurrection of Christ. The new believer DESIRES to PLEASE GOD. And it is his REASONABLE SERVICE. <br />
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a LIVING SACRIFICE, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your REASONABLE SERVICE. 2 And be not conformed to this world: 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. ROMANS 12:1-2<br />
The new believer is on his way to a fulfilling life with our savior through the Spirit of God. He studies the Word of God because he is hungry to know his Lord. He tells everyone he can about his new life because he is so excited to know his savior. He sacrifices the deeds of the flesh because he now knows that they are destructive to him and others and that they do not fulfill the will of God. He understands who the enemy is and resists him after submitting to God. The devil tempts him while he is weak to deny Christ and obey his own desires but the Spirit of God wells up inside of him and delivers him. When he fails he repents to God in the name of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for remission of his sin.<br />
THERE IS NO LONGER A NEED TO FOLLOW COMMANDMENTS BECAUSE THE COMMANDMENTS ARE WRITTEN ON THE NEW BELIEVER'S HEART. ONCE A PERSON HAS BEEN BORN AGAIN THERE IS NO LONGER A NEED TO PRESSURE HIM CARNALLY TO OBEY THE WILL OF GOD BECAUSE HE IS NOW A CREATURE THAT DESIRES TO PLEASE GOD. HE NEEDS DISCIPLESHIP IN THE SCRIPTURE, ADMONISHMENT, FELLOWSHIP AND INSTRUCTION IN RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF GOD. MOST OF ALL HE SHOULD BE GIVEN GRACE AND LOVE SO THAT HE CAN GROW SPIRITUALLY BY THE WORD OF GOD AND BECOME A CANDLE THAT LIGHTS THE WORLD WITH THE LOVE OF CHRIST. </div>

God has appeared to men all throughout the pages of the bible. He was called the Angel of the Lord in most places but referenced and worshipped as the LORD by those who knew Him. <br />HEBREWS 7:2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, KING OF PEACE;<br />3 WITHOUT FATHER, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, NOR END OF LIFE; but made like unto the SON OF GOD; abideth a priest continually. 4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. </div>
<div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="dqqea" data-offset-key="drpt8-0-0" style="background-color: white; color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
HEBREWS 7:24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.<br />25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.<br />26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, UNDEFILED, SEPARATE FROM SINNERS, and made higher than the heavens;<br /><br />The writer of Hebrews is clearly stating that JESUS is the same BEING as MELCHIZEDEK seeing that they both have an endless life. Is this the preincarnate Christ? While the bible does not explain how Melchizedek could be Jesus, there can be no mistaking that they are one and the same, however, if Melchizedek is the PREINCARNATE Christ, how could He be a man. Notice that He does not have a FATHER. Abraham also saw this man before the judgement of Sodom and Gomorrah when three men visited him:<br /><br />GENESIS 18:22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet BEFORE THE LORD. 23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? 33 And THE LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.<br /><br />GENESIS 19:1 And there came TWO ANGELS to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;<br /><br />Clearly here we see that two of the three men that appeared to Abraham left and went to the city of Sodom. The scripture states in Hebrews 19 that they were angels. So these three men WERE NOT THE TRINITY as many people teach. The one man that stayed behind was clearly worshipped as the LORD by Abraham, the others were NOT. Abraham pleaded with Him for the innocent people in Sodom and Gomorrah. <br /><br />My conclusion is that God is a Spiritual being who has the same form as a man because the bible says we were made in His image. We were created as spiritual beings in His image but He breathed our spirit and soul into our flesh in our mother's womb. There is none other that has NO BEGINNING and NO END but the LORD. As Jesus claimed in <br /><br />Revelation 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. <br /><br />So Melchizedek, one of the three men who visited Abraham and also the one that Jacob wrestled with are all manifestations of GOD HIMSELF who created the flesh body in Mary and placed Himself into it.<br /><br />GENESIS 32:30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have SEEN GOD FACE TO FACE, and my life is preserved.<br /><br />These were manifestations of JESUS who is GOD who also became flesh and dwelt among us to die for our sins in the flesh. Notice that the writer of Hebrews states that He has NO FATHER and NO MOTHER and that He is the KING OF PEACE. He had to become flesh to die for us because GOD has NO BEGINNING and NO END OF LIFE. The SON of GOD who IS FLESH was BEGOTTEN and had a beginning. After being resurrected, however, He lives forever. So God who is a SPIRIT lives forever in the glorified flesh of the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Hallelujah!</div>

1. GOD IS THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO CREATED ALL THINGS THAT WERE EVER CREATED BY HIS WORD (COMMAND).<br />
2. GOD HAS A SPIRITUAL BODY THAT IS ETERNAL AND SITS ON THE THRONE IN HEAVEN AND IS THE FATHER OF ALL SPIRITS.<br />
3. GOD CREATED A FLESH BODY OF A MAN FROM THE DUST OF THE GROUND BY HIS WORD (COMMAND) IN THE IMAGE OF HIS SPIRITUAL BODY AND THEN CREATED A SPIRIT AND SOUL WHICH HE BLEW INTO THE NOSTRILS OF THE FLESH TO GIVE IT LIFE AND A CONSCIOUS FREE WILL.<br />
4. GOD GAVE MAN COMPLETE DOMINION (RULE) OVER EVERYTHING HE CREATED BUT MAN CHOSE THE DECEIT OF SELFISHNESS AND WAS THEREBY CAST OUT OF PARADISE AND SENTENCED TO DEATH FOR OBEYING THE DEVIL AND SEEKING TO EXALT HIMSELF.<br />
5. IN THE LATTER DAYS GOD OVERSHADOWED THE VIRGIN MARY AS WAS PROPHESIED AND CREATED THE FLESH BODY OF JESUS AND PLACED HIMSELF (THE HOLY SPIRIT) INTO THIS BODY WITHOUT MEASURE SO HE COULD SPEAK FACE TO FACE WITH MAN.<br />
6. THIS FLESH WAS HOLY AND WAS CALLED THE SON OF GOD BECAUSE HE WAS CONCEIVED BY THE HOLY GHOST, WHO IS GOD. BEING FATHERED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, HE DID NOT HAVE THE FALLEN NATURE OF MAN BUT THE HEAVENLY NATURE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THEREFORE COULD NOT BE TEMPTED WITH EVIL.HE BEGAN HIS MISSION AT BIRTH TO EARN BACK (RESTORE) MANKIND TO HIMSELF.<br />
7. THE SON OF GOD, JESUS, EARNED SALVATION BY KEEPING THE LAW PERFECTLY THEREBY PROVING WHO HE CLAIMED TO BE, GOD HIMSELF, THE FATHER.<br />
8. JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED TO PAY THE PRICE FOR ALL SINS EVER COMMITTED OR EVER TO BE COMMITTED IN THE FUTURE ON THE CROSS.<br />
9. GOD WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT, THEN GLORIFIED HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN BODY, JESUS, THAT IS THE ONLY FLESH THAT GOD EVER CREATED FOR HIMSELF TO DWELL IN AND RAISED IT FROM THE DEAD AND GAVE IT THE INHERITANCE OF EVERYTHING HE HAD CREATED.<br />
10. JUST AS JESUS SAID THAT THE FATHER DWELT INSIDE OF HIM, SO HE STILL DWELLS INSIDE OF THIS GLORIFIED BODY AND SITS ON THE THRONE AS ALMIGHTY GOD WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO DWELLS INSIDE OF THE GLORIFIED BODY OF JESUS, THE SON OF GOD ON ONE THRONE IN HEAVEN, THE SPIRIT OF GOD INSIDE THE GLORIFIED BODY OF JESUS, FOREVER AND IN EVERY BELIEVER WHO ACCEPTS HIM THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT BY ACCEPTING AND TRUSTING IN THE SACRIFICE OF THE ONLY FLESH OF GOD HIMSELF. <br />

The one that WOULD BE BORN according to ISAIAH would be called, 'Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.'

saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou
not known me, Philip? HE THAT HATH SEEN ME HATH SEEN THE FATHER; and how
sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?</i> </div>

<b> </b>Have you ever wondered how God could be three SEPARATE PERSONS but ONE GOD? Have you ever found the explanation in the bible? Of course not, because as anyone will tell you, the doctrine of the trinity was not taught directly by Jesus or His disciples and therefore is NOT TAUGHT in the bible. Yet our leaders demand that we accept by faith something that they admit we CANNOT understand and that was NEVER taught in Christendom until 325ad at the Council of Nicaea. It was introduced by a Pagan turned Christian named Constantine who was the Emperor of the Roman Empire. Paganism taught that their gods were a Trinity so you can see why Constantine would opt to interject this doctrine into the Christian church. The Roman Empire had become very unstable because of the strain between the Pagans and the Christians and Constantine knew that just as Jesus taught, a kingdom divided will surely fall. It didn't hurt that his mother was a Christian either. So his answer was to incorporate pagan practices and beliefs into Christianity. Practices such as Christmas which was named from the first church mass for Christ. Easter that was coupled with the Pagan Holiday for Ashtarte also called the goddess EASTER. Many other of our 'Christian' traditions can be traced back to Pagan traditions. Just as we hear today about the philosophy that is so prevalent that says we should find areas that we can agree on for the sake of unity so Constantine did by combining Christian and Pagan traditions.</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Today scholars tell us that the Trinity is a Great mystery that cannot be understood but must be believed in by faith. But who are we having faith in; Jesus or our Christian leaders? Since Paul told the Galatians in Chapter one of the same book starting at verse 8; </div>

<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>THE FATHER</b></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
If the Holy Father and
Jesus, His Son are two SEPARATE PERSONS, How could the FATHER be
IN JESUS as Jesus said in JOHN 14:10 &11?</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<i>Believest thou not that I am IN THE
FATHER, and the FATHER IN ME? the words that I speak unto you I speak
not of myself: but the FATHER THAT DWELLETH IN ME, he doeth the
works.</i>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<i>11 Believe me that I AM IN THE
FATHER, and THE FATHER IN ME: or else believe me for the very works'
sake.</i></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Out of the mouth of Jesus we are
instructed that the Father dwelt in the body of the Son. If you say
that He was speaking of the Holy Spirit, then you are saying that the
Holy Spirit is the Father which would be correct according to
scripture because Luke tells us that the Holy Ghost and the power of
the highest overshadowed Mary and she conceived the physical body of
Jesus in her womb making the Holy Ghost His Father. Colossians tells
us that all of the fullness of the Godhead lived bodily in Jesus
Christ. <i>COLOSSIANS 1:19 For it pleased the FATHER that in him (JESUS)
should all fulness dwell; </i>(Father, Son and Holy Ghost)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
If God is TRULY ONE LORD (being) as the
bible proclaims then what Jesus said makes total sense. Jesus said in
John 4 that GOD IS A SPIRIT. If the Father is GOD and the Holy Spirit
is GOD, the scripture clearly teaches that Jesus proclaimed that they
both dwelt in His body. ALL OF THEM TOGETHER (COLOSSIANS 1:9 For in
him (Jesus) dwelleth ALL THE FULLNESS of the Godhead bodily.. This is
why the NAME of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit has to be
JESUS and this is why they are ONE PERSON and not three PERSONS.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<i>HEBREWS 1:3 ….Who being the
brightness of his glory, and the express image of his PERSON
(singular).</i></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>THE SPIRIT </b>
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<i>GALATIANS 4:6 And because ye
are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts,
crying, Abba, Father.
</i></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The spirit of the Son of God
must CLEARLY be the Holy Spirit because Jesus is PERFECT and there is
only ONE HOLY SPIRIT. <br /><br />
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<i>JOHN 14:17 Even the
Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him
not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for HE DWELLETH WITH YOU,
and shall be IN YOU.</i></div>
<i>
</i><i><b>18 </b>I will not leave you comfortless: I WILL COME TO YOU.</i><br />
Jesus makes a CLEAR and SIMPLE statement here that is hard to
misunderstand when He tells His disciples that the COMFORTER who was
DWELLING WITH them would be IN THEM. He then makes the statement
that should end ALL debate when He said, “I WILL COME TO YOU.” A
clear indication that Jesus' Spirit is the Holy Spirit whom the
Father had promised would come and dwell in those who believe.
<br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Many people use the argument
that God would not pray to Himself. Why wouldn't He? If He was to
keep all of the commandments without sin it was required that He must
demonstrate love for God with all of His heart, mind, soul and strength and that He
love His neighbor as Himself. If Jesus did not keep this commandment
that He called the GREATEST COMMANDMENT, He would have been a sinner
and could not even save Himself from death.
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Others argue that the Holy
Spirit was given to Jesus on the Jordan where John baptized Him and
the Spirit came down on Him like a dove. John clearly defines this
experience as THE SIGN that was given to HIM to know who the Son of
God was.
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<i>JOHN 1:33 And I knew him
not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto
me, Upon whom THOU SHALT SEE the Spirit descending, and remaining on
him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. <b>34 </b>And
I SAW AND BARE RECORD that this is the Son of God.</i></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
In
conclusion then, it is clearly taught in scripture by JESUS HIMSELF
and HIS APOSTLES that the Father and the Holy Ghost (which is the
fullness of the Godhead) lived BODILY in JESUS CHRIST.

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="verse v47" data-usfm="1CO.15.47"><span class="content">By Bruce Shaulis</span></span></span><br />
<span class="verse v47" data-usfm="1CO.15.47"><span class="content"> Paul paints a vivid picture of the makeup of man. He states that there are TWO parts of a man. It is an accepted belief that man is spirit, soul and body but what is the difference between the spirit and the soul? The bible states only a slight difference between the two but a difference is clearly stated. In this blog I will investigate the difference between the spirit, soul and body of man and the inner and outer man.</span></span><br />
<span class="verse v47" data-usfm="1CO.15.47"><span class="content"> We all know what the body is. Paul says that it is the outer man. It is the part of man that desires self destructive behaviors. This is where what the bible calls SIN is actually acted out. Jesus said that a man has already committed sin if he lusts in his heart. Clearly then, the outer man or body of a person is manipulated by the inner man or the spirit and soul which the bible refers to as THE HEART.</span></span><br />
<span class="verse v47" data-usfm="1CO.15.47"><span class="content"> The inner man (the HEART) is where our thoughts are conceived. There is a thing called conscience that resides here. The conscience is a navigation device, if you will, and the source of reason which is as individual as the fingerprint. Our God given free will is exercised here and is what gives us individuality. According to Wikipedia the conscience is:</span></span><br />
<span class="verse v47" data-usfm="1CO.15.47"><span class="content"> </span></span><i>Conscience is an aptitude, faculty, intuition or judgment that
assists in distinguishing right from wrong. Moral judgment may derive
from values or norms (principles and rules).</i><br />
<i> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscience</i><br />
It would seem then that the conscience of man was first tested in the Garden of Eden when Eve first took a bite of the forbidden fruit because it was then that Adam and Eve realized that they had been given a free will to choose something outside of the commandment of God. The conscience then let's us know if we are in the will of God or not. You could consider it kind of a GPS (God Positioning Satellite) for the soul. So then the soul appears to coincide with the conscience in the inner man.<br />
<i> Hebrews 10:<span class="verse v2" data-usfm="HEB.10.2"><span class="label" style="display: inherit;">2 </span><span class="content">For
then would they (sacrifices) not have ceased to be offered? because that the
worshippers once purged should have had no more CONSCIENCE of sins.</span></span><span class="verse v2" data-usfm="HEB.10.2"><span class="content"></span></span><span class="verse v3 selected" data-usfm="HEB.10.3"><span class="label" style="display: inherit;"> 3</span><span class="content"> But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.</span></span></i><br />
<span class="verse v3 selected" data-usfm="HEB.10.3"><span class="content"> The writer of Hebrews was explaining in this chapter that people desire a CLEAR CONSCIENCE and tried to gain it by sacrificing animals. Clearly then our conscience reveals our standing with God and the need for justice to make up for our wrongs committed against His laws. People under the law of Moses could never clear their conscience of their sins by the sacrifice of an animal because they knew that they alone were guilty. </span></span><br />
<span class="verse v3 selected" data-usfm="HEB.10.3"><span class="content"> Jesus told Nicodemus in JOHN 3 that a man must be BORN AGAIN to see the Kingdom of Heaven. He explained that things that are born of flesh are only flesh but things born of the spirit are spirit. He said unless a man is born of water (flesh) AND the Spirit, he cannot enter into Heaven. So then the inner man comes as standard equipment when we are conceived. We don't have to do anything to get a soul because we became a soul when we were conceived. That is; we were given our individuality at that moment. </span></span><br />
<i><span class="verse v3 selected" data-usfm="HEB.10.3"><span class="content"> PSALMS 139:</span></span><span class="verse v3 selected" data-usfm="HEB.10.3"><span class="content"></span></span><span class="verse v14 selected" data-usfm="PSA.139.14"><span class="label" style="display: inherit;">14 </span></span>I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.<a href="http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Psalms-139-15/" title="Psalms 139:15 KJV verse detail"><span class="versehover" id="17"> 15 </span></a>My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.<a href="http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Psalms-139-16/" title="Psalms 139:16 KJV verse detail"><span class="versehover" id="18"> 16 </span></a>Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.</i><br />
<i> </i>If we consider then that the soul is the consciousness of man<i> </i>we can see from the Psalms that God is the one who created our soul and body in the womb. But Jesus said that we must be born of water AND spirit to enter into Heaven. Could it be that we are born a living soul with a life force that gives us the ability to live? Paul states in<br />
<i>1 CORINTHIANS 15:45 <span class="verse v45 selected" data-usfm="1CO.15.45"><span class="label" style="display: inherit;"></span><span class="content">And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a LIVING SOUL; the last Adam was made a QUICKENING SPIRIT.</span></span></i><br />
<i><span class="verse v45 selected" data-usfm="1CO.15.45"><span class="content"> </span></span></i><span class="verse v45 selected" data-usfm="1CO.15.45"><span class="content">As Jesus told Nicodemus, we must be born of water AND spirit to enter into the kingdom of Heaven. Thus the term being BORN AGAIN. The inner man then is who we are but </span></span><br />
<i><span class="verse v45 selected" data-usfm="1CO.15.45"><span class="content">JOHN 6:63 </span></span><span class="verse v45 selected" data-usfm="1CO.15.45"><span class="content"></span></span>It is the spirit that quickeneth (gives life); the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.</i><span class="p"></span><br />
<span class="p"> We were created in the IMAGE of God that is; we are a spirit and soul inside a body of flesh. This is how God revealed Himself to us in the person of Jesus Christ. He created a flesh body in the womb of Mary and filled it with His entire soul and spirit so He could speak to us face to face and so He could die in our place. Since God CANNOT die He had to make a flesh body that was HOLY and subject to die to clear the WAY back to the tree of life. Since the only one who is HOLY is GOD, GOD had to become flesh to be the PERFECT sacrifice for our sins. We call that body, JESUS the SON OF GOD as was prophesied by the prophets. <i>ISAIAH 9:6, MATTHEW 1:21</i></span><br />
<span class="p"><i> </i>In conclusion then: We have learned that our soul was created by God and put in our body at conception where God forms all of the members of the flesh before birth. We were created in His image which is the image of His Son Jesus. We were given a spirit to allow us to live in the flesh. We have learned that God created a flesh body in the womb of Mary and placed His own Spirit and Soul in it so that He could become the PERFECT sacrifice for our sins. He proved that the flesh body of Jesus was His flesh by raising it from the dead to be glorified in Heaven with Him. We have learned that we must be BORN AGAIN of the Holy Spirit who is God to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven by accepting the Lord's Great Sacrifice that cleared the way back to the Tree of Life that provides eternal life to all who eat of it. <i> </i></span>wonhearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04925269421353268393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323959132158544595.post-89847158085086896912016-05-30T07:51:00.001-05:002016-05-30T07:51:12.102-05:00WHO IS JESUS?<div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="85hmr" data-offset-key="hkp1-0-0" style="background-color: white; color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; white-space: pre-wrap;">

<span data-offset-key="b3jtm-0-0"> A basic clear reading of these scriptures for what they say and not for what they do not say will bring a better understanding to our life. Clearly there are many things that happen to every individual in their lifetime. There are many seasons that we all go through. But the bible makes clear that ALL good and perfect gifts come down from the Father of Lights and that the DEVIL (thief) is the one who is bringing death and destruction into our lives. While the thief comes to STEAL, KILL and DESTROY, Jesus stated clearly that He comes to give us ONLY LIFE and that more abundantly. </span></div>

<span data-offset-key="8otr4-0-0"> These verses clearly say that God causes ALL things that happen to us to work out for OUR GOOD. Death and destruction is NEVER good or something to be accepted as from God. But though the devil attacks us with these things for his purpose, to destroy us, God turns them around to make them work out for good for us. Much as He did when the devil tempted men to crucify Him in the flesh. The bible says that God made a show of them openly.</span></div>

He looked in the beginning of creation to see who would exercise that faith to believe in His only begotten Son and predestined them to become CHILDREN OF GOD by adoption through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, the only BEGOTTEN son. Then He justified them through Christ and glorified them. God is the one who did ALL of these things. You will notice that the works of those who believe were never mentioned.

<b>LITTLE COMMANDMENTS</b></div>
<div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="f53gq-0-0" style="direction: ltr; position: relative;">
<span data-offset-key="f53gq-0-0">Don't get too hung up about all of the LITTLE commandments that you and others have broken. The first and GREATEST commandment of ALL is to love the Lord God with all of your heart, soul and strength. (Deuteronomy 6:5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.) </span></div>

<div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="e94au-0-0" style="direction: ltr; position: relative;">
If you haven't kept the GREATEST COMMANDMENT of all, why are you worried about the little ones? If a person slaughtered dozens of innocent people with an automatic rifle, would we be worried about him rolling through a stop sign? I think not. God is mostly concerned about the GREATEST COMMANDMENT. That is that we have NO OTHER GODS before Him. That we love Him with every part of our being. All of the little commandments would be kept if we could just keep this commandment. The devil lied when he told Adam that he could be LIKE GOD. No one is, can be or ever will be LIKE GOD. He stands all alone in the realm of perfection and holiness. That is why He became flesh so that He could die to fulfill His own judgement against man's sin. That cleared the WAY for us to come back home to Him.</div>

Without Christ, those who have not repented from their OWN WORKS will not inherit the kingdom of God because nothing that offends God will be allowed in His Kingdom. (Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.) Many unborn people believe that their good works will be weighed against their bad works and that it is possible that the good works will cancel out the bad works which will allow them entrance into heaven but this is simply not true. I used to read the bible every night before I was saved thinking this very thing. In fact, I read the bible from the first page to the last page many times before I was born again but didn't know the first thing about God. You see, I was doing a good work in the hope that it would be enough to convince God to let me into heaven. </div>

<div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="80liu-0-0" style="direction: ltr; position: relative;">
<span data-offset-key="80liu-0-0">But we must repent from that sort of thinking. We must change our minds about our justification and realize that the devil lied in the garden. We can never be LIKE GOD so we must change our thinking to accept the works of God Himself in the flesh, JESUS who came to receive the penalty of death in our place as a payment for the curse that Adam and Eve imposed on us all by their actions in the garden. We are all born of corrupt seed and are in need of a perfect sacrifice to answer the cry of justice against the original sin. Once we have come to this realization that we need deliverance, we will look for a savior. That savior is Jesus Christ. If we repent from the original lie that we can be LIKE GOD and accept the fact that the only one who is capable of justifying us is God in the flesh, JESUS CHRIST, we then receive the right to become children of God (John 1:12) through adoption in the name of Jesus Christ.

Any question they had was answered right there on the spot because the Spirit of Jesus IS the Holy Spirit. Jesus told them in this scripture that the same Comforter which is the Spirit of Truth and the Holy Spirit that was WITH them at that time would be IN them. Clearly stating that the Comforter could NOT come to them to be IN them as long as Jesus was on earth. This is because the Holy or morally perfect Spirit (who is God: John 4) cannot tolerate the presence of things that offend such as sinful men. The body of Jesus was pure and undefiled because He was born of the HOLY SPIRIT and not of sinful man. </span><br />

The only way for this to happen is for a sacrifice to be offered that can pay or redeem sinful flesh from the punishment of sin. Therefore, as Jesus was teaching His disciples, He must die and be raised on the third day for the remission of sins. This is why He had to leave so that another comforter could come to them and live IN THEM. </span><br />

Can we REALLY know what God is trying to tell us by studying the bible? Do we need to go to seminary or bible college and be taught by the professors there to REALLY know? Do we need our pastor to explain this complicated book to us because somehow God failed to speak clearly enough for us to understand what He was saying when He spoke to His prophets and apostles If you believe that the interpretation of the bible is arbitrary and open to anyone's spin, you are sadly mistaken. If you believe that one needs a degree to understand the scripture properly, you are also sadly mistaken. If you believe that it takes years and years of research and studying of all of the great men of the Christian faith to truly comprehend the meaning of scripture, again you are sadly mistaken. Understanding of the scripture and the TRUE intent of it's words is not found in the carnal mind our human understanding or in the knowledge of learned individuals.<br />
1 Corinthians 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so THE THINGS OF GOD KNOWETH NO MAN, but the SPIRIT OF GOD.1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: NEITHER CAN HE KNOW THEM, because they are SPIRITUALLY discerned.<br />
John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the SPIRIT OF TRUTH, is come, he will guide you into ALL TRUTH:<br />
1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you:<br />
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a DISCERNER OF THE THOUGHTS AND INTENTS of the heart.<br />
These scriptures clarify why it is that you must be BORN AGAIN of the Spirit. You have to have the Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit living in your heart to teach you what He meant when He breathed the scriptures through the prophets and His apostles. (John 3:3 ....Except a man be BORN AGAIN, he cannot see the kingdom of God.)There are many in the world who attempt to study and teach the bible as they would study or teach a book written by man. But the bible is not like any other book. It is a record of the sayings of God Himself written down as Holy Men were moved by the Holy Spirit. The revelations in this Holy book cannot be understood by the flesh because the things of the flesh have fallen away from God and are in direct opposition to the Word of God. (1 Johns 2:20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.) The word, "unction" actually means anointing. If you are born again you are anointed with the Holy Spirit or the Spirit of Truth that Jesus spoke of in the gospel of John and therefore have access to ALL KNOWLEDGE because God is the source of ALL KNOWLEDGE. (Proverbs 2:6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.) You CAN know the things or God if you have received the Holy Spirit into your heart. The Apostles were clear on this.<br />
1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.10 But GOD HATH REVEALED THEM UNTO US THROUGH HIS SPIRIT: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.<br />
Therefore my friends, don't let anyone tell you that you must be under the tutorship of a man and study many, many books that men have written ABOUT God and learn what the professors, priests, pastors, teachers, etc. in order to understand God. God has made it SIMPLE and He does not have any problem communicating what He means. If you don't have the UNCTION from the Holy Ghost, ask God for it today. He will respond when you get REAL with HIm. You too can have access to the very intent of the Spirit of God and He will speak to you when you study scripture if you just ask Him.</div>

<br />
If I asked you what you knew about the book of Job, could you tell me what it is about? Many people know about this story only by what they have heard preachers say and what they learned in Sunday school about it. But do you know the TRUE story of Job?<br />
The only verse that anyone seems to be able to quote from the book of Job is;<br />
<i><span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://biblia.com/books/KJV/Job%201.21" target="_blank" title="Job 1:21 (Biblia.com: KJV)">Job 1:21</a> And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return
thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the
name of the LORD.</span></i><span class="p"></span><br />
<span class="p"> You would think that this verse constitutes the entire book of Job since it seems to be the only thing that people get out of it. They conclude that it was God's will to take everything away from Job. They lay the blame for the death of his family, the destruction of all of his possessions and the sickness in his body all squarely on the shoulders of God Almighty. </span><br />
<span class="p"> Right off the bat I would like to clarify something; Yes God told Satan that all that Job had was in his power. Did that mean that it wasn't before? In the garden the devil had deceived man out of dominion over his own life by his lust. So was God giving the devil power over his life at that time or making the statement that the devil already had power over his life? The point was the devil by implication had not even paid any attention to Job yet because God asked him if he had considered Job. The bible says the devil is the accuser of the brethren and apparently the devil had been accusing everyone else to God so God presented Job to the devil. God must have been very proud of Job's faith to present him to the devil as an example of service. I can just imagine the conversation; God says,"Yes there are a lot of people doing evil on earth but what about Job? He is upright and worships and serves me with all of his might." God was obviously bragging on Job to Satan. So Satan assesses Job's life and notices that GOD had put a hedge of protection around him so that he couldn't touch him. What would that hedge be? The bible doesn't describe the hedge but one would probably imagine that it was an angel or angels that watched over Job to protect him.</span><br />
<span class="p"> The challenge is then waged. If God were to stop protecting Job and let Satan do what he wants to him Job would turn his back on God. Job was not born of the Spirit so he was under complete control of the devil at this point. God had to let the devil have access to Job because of justice. It would not be just to protect a guilty man. Job was guilty because he was the child of Adam and Eve and was born in sin just as we are. At this point Job had no savior. God did set limits on Satan, however. Notice it was God again that was protecting Job's life against the devil.</span><br />
<span class="p"> In this early exchange between God and the devil we can ascertain that God was protecting Job and setting limits on Satan. It is the same with us. God protects us and holds the devil back from destroying us but now it is according to our faith in the name of Jesus Christ not our works like it was for Job. If we have faith God is just to protect us. </span><br />
<span class="p"> Keep in mind that at this point the devil has decided to attack Job to prove to God that Job will stop serving God if everything he has is taken away. So it is the devil that brings all of the calamity on Job, not God according to scripture.</span><br />
<span class="p"> Satan first puts it in the minds of the Sabeans to steal Job's oxen and donkeys and to kill all of his servants with the sword. Then he sends a fire and burns up Job's sheep and the servants that were tending them. The messengers blame God for this as well. </span><span class="p">Next the Chaldeans came and stole all of Job's camels and killed the servants that were there. As if that was not enough the devil sent a strong wind to blow on the house where Job's children were and caused it to fall in on them and to kill all of his children.</span><br />
<span class="p"> After all of this Job makes the statement we quoted earlier. He basically stated that God had caused all of this to happen to him but the bible says that by saying this he had not sinned against God nor charged him foolishly. I believe this is Job's trust in God knowing that God is sovereign over all. Job was submitting his life to God and putting his entire life in God's hands.</span><br />
<i><span style="color: blue;"><span class="p"><a href="http://biblia.com/books/KJV/Job%201.22" target="_blank" title="Job 1:22 (Biblia.com: KJV)">Job 1:22</a> </span>In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly. </span></i><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">He was not foolish in saying these things because it was true that everything he had was in the hands of Satan because Adam had given up the dominion over creation to him and God allowed it because of the sin of Adam.</span></span><br />
<i><span style="color: blue;"> </span></i><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Again after all of this God presented Job to Satan as someone who still maintained his integrity </span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">regardless of what had happened in his life. Again the devil says, "Yes but a man will give all that he has to save his own life." So God tells Satan that all that Job has is in his (Satan's) hands but he restrained him from taking his life. Again we see God protecting Job and Satan attacking him. We see next that the devil </span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown. He could not kill him, however, because God had already commanded him not to. Notice again that the sickness that came on Job was from Satan not God.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"> After all of this Job becomes understandably depressed and begins to mourn even his very life saying it would have been better to have never been born. Have you ever felt like this?</span></span><br />
<span class="p"> Throughout most of the rest of the book of Job we read that Job's friends are blaming him for all of the misfortune. They keep telling him that it is because he has done some evil against God and so God is punishing him. They keep telling him to repent to God so God will stop punishing him. Wow. With friends like that, who needs enemies? </span><br />
<span class="p"> Job's friends go on and on and on nagging Job about what sin he must have committed to have gotten so much punishment from God. I believe they nagged him into defending himself. So Job begins to justify himself before his friends. He also </span>appears to eventually begin to agree with his friends that God was doing all of this evil to him. He begins to accuse God saying that he did not deserve that much punishment. Then he begins to expound on all of the good things that he has done. It becomes clear that he begins to commend himself too much which manifests clearly what his real weakness was. It was pride.<br />
So God ends up in the end of the book rebuking Job for his foolish statements about all that he had done. God asks him where he was at creation. It is clear in the end of the book that Job was incorrect in the things he was accusing God of and so were his friends. God had not brought this evil on Job but Job's own pride allowed the devil to attack him. Sin gives the devil a foothold over all people and Job's pride was the sin that caused God to have to allow all of this evil on Job. Still God knew that Job had a heart for Him, the devil did not.<br />
In summary lets list the things that are in the devil's power in this story:<br />
1) Death<br />
2) Disease<br />
3) Destruction<br />
4) Accusation<br />
5) Pain<br />
Etc. Etc. Etc.<br />
What was God's role in this story? He was Job's protector and deliverer. In the end he turned around what the devil had done to Job and blessed Job with twice as much as he had before. This story clearly teaches that if we maintain our faith in God, He is trustworthy and will protect and deliver us. This is EXACTLY what Job knew.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcfkJIRyVvin_YnP-Xg_zWATAie7QXyM89nvrnMQ8olrOIULm77Yr84OePOYTw_xfVQTMQBa126fbb9dT6SH5VzLHrmMHyr0XAuXmnUz6fdDyOXOt1bXgj882PNUtlLdSqxdSTVDVEcjbX/s1600/man_handcuffs_shutterstock.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcfkJIRyVvin_YnP-Xg_zWATAie7QXyM89nvrnMQ8olrOIULm77Yr84OePOYTw_xfVQTMQBa126fbb9dT6SH5VzLHrmMHyr0XAuXmnUz6fdDyOXOt1bXgj882PNUtlLdSqxdSTVDVEcjbX/s640/man_handcuffs_shutterstock.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
GUILT is the fact or state of having committed an offense, crime, violation, or wrong, especially against moral or penal law; culpability: <br />
<br />
It is determined by God ALONE because He is the only Righteous judge who alone is worthy. God has already prescribed what righteous means by His commandments and wrote them on all men's hearts. When a violation is committed against God's law the person is determined to be guilty. This is their status before a righteous God in the court of Heaven. Guilt began in the garden of Eden with Adam and Eve. The one command, which was really a warning, that God gave Adam was to not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil because as God said, it would kill him. The first REAL sin was that Adam placed the woman at a higher importance to him than God which is the first sin of worshiping and serving the creature rather than the creator or idolatry. <span style="color: blue;"><i>(Romans 1:25)</i></span> And so mankind fell into sin and death through the lust of their own flesh and all of Adam and Eve's offspring were born with the same tendency to serve the creature rather than the creator which ultimately leads to death. Therefore, we are all born sinners and guilty of sin. It is in our genes. <span style="color: blue;"><i>(Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:)</i></span><br />
<br />
I FEEL GUILTY<br />
<br />
The FEELING of guilt is different from the state of guilt in that it is not required to be accurate. Often times a person will feel GUILTY and retain the feeling of guilt even when there is no merit to it. Rape victims often feel guilty and ashamed as though they had violated some law although they are the victims of a crime. Because the heart of man is desperately wicked and deceitful <span style="color: blue;"><i>(Jeremiah 17:9)</i></span> we are often betrayed to think that we CANNOT be forgiven. The reason is JUSTICE. We all have a sense that JUSTICE must be served by punishment of wrongs that have been committed. This is based on God's law and there is NO mercy in the law. <span style="color: blue;"><i>(Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die.) </i></span>And so as it says in <span style="color: blue;"><i>(Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;)</i></span> we ALL stand guilty before the God of Heaven because we have fallen short of the perfection that is required by God's commandments. <br />
This leaves one understanding in his heart that he is a sinner and guilty of death because he has served his own lusts rather than the righteous commandment of God, (Idolatry). The devil has taken man captive to do his will through lust and continues to bring corruption into his life so that he can eventually destroy him using the commandments as a weapon of destruction against him. In essence, the devil has kidnapped God's children by tempting them to fulfill their own lusts regardless of what God requires and thereby making them guilty and unworthy to stand in God's presence. This separation from God is final as was God's first decree that Adam would die if he ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.<br />
The only way anyone can satisfy the demand of justice is to die himself eternally separated from his maker according to the commandments. God loves all mankind, however, not because we are perfect and sinless but because we are His creation. After looking at all He made in Genesis, God said that it was VERY good. He was very pleased at what He had created. God's original will for man was for man to be His companion in close intimate relationship with the God of the universe. God does not change. He still wants that with man today but in order to fulfill His original will a man would have to keep His laws perfectly and earn the right to stand before Him by his own works. There was only one way this could be done.<br />
<br />
GOD PAYS OUR RANSOM<br />
<br />
The commandments of God are His very attributes; or character and therefore only God Himself could possibly perform the commandments but God is a Spirit <span style="color: blue;"><i>(John 4:24 God is a Spirit:)</i></span> and not flesh. Because God knows all things, however, the plan was made from the beginning of creation <span style="color: blue;"><i>(Romans 8:29)</i></span> that God Himself would become a man <span style="color: blue;"><i>(1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, [Isaiah 9:6])</i></span> as our representative and fulfill His own laws as a man thereby earning the right to stand before Him as a man in Heaven because of His own righteousness in the flesh. But by living a perfect life as a man He would earn THE WAY to Heaven but man would still stand guilty before Him because of their own sin. The commandments of God required death as the only way to satisfy justice in the rest of mankind and therefore the flesh body of God (Jesus the Son of God) had to pay the price of death as our representative so that the required ransom could be paid to the kidnapper (the devil who is our accuser). The commandments and the curse had to be taken out of the way so that we could come boldly to the throne of God as righteous and His original will could be fulfilled. Now we can be found righteous before God by the death of Jesus because He has nailed the law and the curse of the law to the cross <span style="color: blue;"><i>(Colossians 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;) </i></span>God resurrected His Son Jesus from the dead as a sign to men that HE IS GOD.<br />
A sinless man paying the penalty of death for the sins that all mankind had committed would eradicate the curse of the law forever thereby declaring ALL men righteous in the court of Heaven through this man, Jesus. He became sin for us, <span style="color: blue;"><i>(2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.) </i></span><br />
<br />
FREE AT LAST <br />
<br />
Now ALL men have a WAY to get to the God of the universe. All it takes is to accept Jesus into your heart and believe what He has done for ALL mankind and confess it with your mouth <span style="color: blue;"><i>(Romans 10:9-13)</i></span>. When you call on Him out of your heart, He will put His Holy Spirit in your flesh and teach you His ways. The ransom will be applied to you in the court of Heaven and you will be won back from the devil's power with the promise of eternal life with God Himself never to be separated from Him again for all eternity which was God's original will.<br />
Paul said that he always strove to have a clear conscience <span style="color: blue;"><i>(Acts 24:16)</i></span> by believing all things that had been written. Believing in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ as the ransom for your soul is what will clear your conscience.<br />
Guilt therefore should also be eradicated out of your heart because Jesus has made you righteous if you have accepted Him and truly BELIEVE IT. Don't believe your heart that tells you that you still stand guilty if you have accepted Jesus because God has made all things right and taken you back to the status in the garden before the fall, innocent before Him and able to have a personal relationship as His adopted child. You stand GUILTLESS BECAUSE OF YOUR BELIEF IN JESUS CHRIST. HALLELUJAH!<br />
