Understanding the phrase word of God.
Requires using what we call reasoning without common reasoning it is impossible not to abuse this phrase and this phrase is widely abused by the Christian community as a whole.
For example when referring to what we know as the Holy Bible or even a verse that is contained within it (regardless of who is being quoted as speaking to whoever they are speaking to) Christians abuse the phrase “Word of God” by applying it to that verse.
I find it Very disturbing that a Christian would apply the Phrase (to a written statement quoting Satan) as the Word of God Just because it is written in the Holy Bible, this is absurd to a sound mind.
Abusive words even unintentional abuse to common reasoning is harmful to a nonbeliever's interest in hearing the true word of God. It also gives others in the secular world an occasion to blaspheme the Lord Jesus and say that his way is harmful to a sound mind, or that the followers of Christ are foolish in reasoning.
The point that I wish to make here on this subject is simply this, in order to avoid abuse of the phrase the word of God you must use common reasoning and apply the phrase to only the part of the Holy Bible that it applies to, such as when God himself is speaking.
Let us see what God himself says about the ‘Word of God’ so that we can follow a rule of common reasoning here below in a few of Gods own examples.
(See this subject in the thoughts page along with Scripture of God refering to his word.)
Working online
Study for others is the Largest Part of my Ministry to others for Jesus Christ. This study for others is also a preparation for the work of Church reformation and the battle of spiritual wickedness in the high traditional places that Jesus has for me in the near future.
Telling the world to Hear Believe and Obey Jesus Christ
Hear (read) Believe and Obey Jesus!!! Leave out anyone of those things that Belief needs in order to exist, and your predestination has already been decided!!! John 3:18 ...He that believeth not is condemned already... We do not have to choose one of the predestinations because one is default!!!
Jesus is the Captain of our Salvation [Hebrews 2:10]
BACKWORDS
Some words spelled backwards contain truth.
Jesus Christ came to DELIVER
and he was REVILED by the men he came to DELIVER.
They in turn are reviled according to God, because
Those who reviled Jesus were evil led
& still Today those who it can be said that they have reviled Jesus are led by evil!
A man cannot LIVE in EVIL because it is backwords from the Way of those who will LIVEforever with Jesus in Heaven. You know it is sad but true, If God lived on earth people would break his windows!
Warning! I have been reviled and told that my web sights is evil, but Then Jesus said that would happen whenever we try to give God Glory.
Everything you will see in my sites are there to bring God Glory and I do not claim to be perfect, but perfect is what I strive to become.
If we are unable to forgive others for their short comings we will soon end up with Jesus Christ as our only friend!
My Lord Jesus Christ is perfect and I want to be just like him.
I am not what I should be,
I am not what I could be,
I am not what I want to be,
But I am not what I used to be,
And I am still growing into That Same Spirit as the one revealed in Jesus Christ.
It is a miserable thing when we compare our way to the way of Jesus Christ; however it is far more miserable not to try to have our way be compared to the way of Jesus Christ.
We can find rest for our souls when we adopt the way of Jesus Christ as our perfect example and receive him as Lord and the micro manager of our way in this life.
Freedom from our way is bondage to Christ who is the way, the truth and the life, and there is not a more pleasant or lighter burden and yoke available in the entire universe.
Making ourselves Lord and micro manager of our way in life is quite simply foolishness beyond normal comprehension.
Compel (not force) others to surrender to this source of wisdom found in Jesus Christ or know beyond doubt that you do not have the right to say that you love others.
It has become necessary for the Spirit of my Father growing in me, to present this question to any and all ministers, and servants of any capacity to the lord Jesus Christ.
Knowing that God is at least as wise as any man just ask yourself if you wanted everyone alive to know what it is that you want. Would you be more mad at someone who was trying to let others know just what that is even if they make a few mistakes like most of us do, or would you be more mad at someone who did nothing at all? Be a Good Stewart and let others do their part too, for Christ's sake and the gospel's sake, Amen? If there is anyone who has a problem with seeing myself or anyone else who is just now entering servitude to Jesus Christ our Lord as your equal, please! Overcome this problem and read what our Lord teaches below this small burst of patriotism. Let us then repent and let us submit ourselves to the decision of God, who has decided to give us all the very same Spirit in Jesus Christ.
Also please allow me to share my own simple political views before I move on into patriotism. I believe in the basic thought that Leadership should come from God and from above as in a republic (Republican) the same one for which this nation stands. Not from man (Democrat) called democracy. However I also believe that the leadership in our republic should be led only by Godly Christian men in a democratic forum within the leadership of that same republic. As one body that forms the head that leads the entire nation like one body that leads. Just like the body of Christ morally leads the world in a morality, resulting in the only good results. At least to an honest observation without envy and denial from shame anyway.
One nation under God and in God we trust!
E PLURIBUS UNUM
The general meaning of each Latin word is clear:
Pluribus is related to the English word: "plural."
Unum is related to the English word: "unit."
E Pluribus Unum describes an action: Many uniting into one. An accurate translation of our motto on the United States seal is "Out of many, one" – a phrase that elegantly captures the symbolism on our great seal and its shield against all enemies of freedom to worship Jesus Christ that is the real reason this country was founded in the first place.
Isaiah 40:28-31
28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. 29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
E PLURIBUS UNUM
Remain United!
Because divided we fall, we should Read what is taught by Jesus, believe what is taught by Jesus, and obey what is taught by Jesus, then ask ourselves the questions below what is taught by Jesus, below here in Matthew where all men are made equal.
Matthew 20:1-16
1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. 2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. 5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. 6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? 7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. 8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. 9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. 10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. 11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, 12 Saying, These last have wrought 8 but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. 13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? 14 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. 15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? 16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, butfew chosen.
Does anyone really think that God has the kind of character that will choose those servants here on earth (his vineyard) who are complaining about being made equal with others who are just now entering into his servitude? Or does anyone think that God will do exactly what Jesus Christ has said he would do? Which is telling them to "depart from me" or "go thy way you have already received your reward"?
Seen (as) more than others could be our only reward!
Matthew 6:1 -
Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 6:2 -
Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Matthew 6:5 -
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, thatthey may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Matthew 6:16 -
Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Matthew 6:18 -
That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
Satan would love to have us believe that we are greater than one another, and tempt us to abuse our authority in Christ over the world, and exalt ourselves over the Spirit of Christ Himself living in others, see Mathew chapter 25 Jesus sees us as equal to himself, because his own Spirit Lives in us as we hear and do the word of God ("my brethren" Luke 8:21) when we become adopted into Gods family. The house of God cannot be divided against itself (equality) because it is many members being one body and only the members that are causing the body to sin should be cast off. You cannot cast off the body because one of its members is causing it to sin and for Christ's own sake do not forget that this is a Spiritual battle not one between people unless those people (still Equal to you unless you dare not to forgive them) have given themselves over completely to the enemies purpose.
I do not see myself as having any less potential of making a mistake than anyone reading these words right now. Does anyone else?
If you do, you are doing the worse thing a man can do to a temple of God (yourself) you are telling it to believe a lie.
The devil no longer has to tempt you much to make you worse or more abusive, because you are pretty much already where the prince of this world wants you to be, and that is thinking you are doing God a favor while you are in reality doing something evil by exalting yourself above whoever belongs to or what is God living in others. Many are in and out of the Spirit of Christ so your battle is not with people but rather with the Spirits in them at the time. Make sure you do not oppose the Spirit of the Lord or you will be in danger of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit sent to guide others. When in doubt it is best to only observe without opinion, and at the very (least no doubt) to remain silent when in doubt.
Only a God who is good could love us who serve his will and are still striving to overcome this very same sinful nature that I am speaking of here. However on the other hand only the devil and his children could hate us for doing anything at all to help others overcome it, by Standing up to it every where we find it in the Spirit of Truth to expose it, without returning evil for evil.
Simply put one child cherishes this way and the other despises it, just like God in Jesus Christ did/does. However I will from now on have to take into consideration each mans own ability to over come the flesh, which will most likely rely on if he will hear, believe and obey, what Christ has been sent to reveal in the four Gospels, not in those who are famous or their interpretations in trying to improve on it and be exclusive or exalt themselves above it, and who it is that spoke it (the Gospel).
Which is your lord, the Law or the Author of the law? Beware because only one is allowed to forgive!
The Law will not pass away, because there is always those who still walk in the flesh. Those who are lead by the way of Christ are lead by the Spirit of God (Holy) who is in Christ. They are lead by theAuthor (Holy Spirit) (also within the Father and revealed only in the Son) of the law and therefore need no law to guide them. To him that knows to do right and does is not to him it is sin!
Not by power, not by might, but by my Spirit Says the Lord, who also says "This is my Son who I am well pleased hear Ye Him!!!" And who also says,
Deuteronomy 18:15-22
15The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; 16 According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not. 17 And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. 18I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee (Moses who was sent forth as a Savior of Gods 'chosen' people), and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. (In other words, "whoever will not listen to my Son will answer to me!") 20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. 21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? 22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
Don't shame yourself, by being ashamed of What Jesus Says!
And
A person does not have to know or even understand everything, to simply share what he knows that Jesus has said! (The Gospel)
and you do not have to memorize the entire Gospel in order to share the entire Gospel!!!!!!!

By my Spirit says The Lord!
Jesus said Every tree that does not bear fruit will be cast into the fire.
Please know that this fruit of the Spirit [John 6:63] above is required by our creator to have within it the seed (Gospel which is the word of God) in order for it [John 6:63] to reproduce trees (Trees like the Cross which hung Gods own first fruit, with seed [word of God] in itself after his own kind, true living bread made from Gods own seed to feed us) Trees which bring forth more fruit after their own kind. Receive the fruit from this tree of life Called Jesus into your body to give it eternal life, then bear your cross and follow him, and bring forth fruit because you are in him and he is in you. [E PLURIBUS UNUM] [Genesis 1:11,1 Corinthians 15:20-26] James 1:18 - Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
The choice of our own predestination is ours, please remember only one destination is default!!! The other one our Lord Jesus says, requires I repeat, 'Requires' repentance (= Change of heart, mind and nothing less than complete and utterly total, unconditional submission to his (Jesus) Lordship over us). Let no man, spirit or false doctrine, deceive you of this Most Holy and undeniable fact. Not even with a kind of (Gospel) Good news which eliminates the duty Jesus Himself Spoke of as He (Jesus) spoke for God to us. When He (Jesus) spelled out our responsibility to God, to Hear, believe and Obey the Son (Jesus) who has been put in charge [The Inheritance is the first born birth right] as the lord of all Creation. Jesus has made perfectly clear his duty for us under his Lordship over us, their will be no excuses when he returns (like teaching only a small part of the Gospel as the only requirement for salvation, or teaching only a partial beleif in Christ for the sake of convenience).
John 3:1-21
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man (Jesus) be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him (Jesus) should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son (Jesus), that whosoever believeth in him(Jesus) should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son (Jesus) into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him (Jesus) might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him (Jesus) is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name (Jesus) of the only begotten Son of God.(Jesus)19 And this is the condemnation, that light (Jesus) is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light (Jesus), because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light (Jesus), neither cometh to the light (Jesus), lest his deeds should be reproved.21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light (Jesus), that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Our Father in heaven has glorified His Son so that He himself can be glorified by his Son.
A good Father loves those who give priority to his Son the same way that He himself gives priority, to his Son far above all others. This is the same spirit of Love that any father created in the Fathers image would have over his only begotten son.
John Chapter 17 1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 4I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. 7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. 8For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. 9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. 10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. 13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.14I have given them thy word; [The Gospel] and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. [The word given by Jesus Christ]18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. 25O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
About Services
Here is a listing of my services: I will show any one who thinks that the way that Christ offers/tells them to live, does not suit their life, that their life does not suit Christ or even reasonable common sense called truth; I will help anyone who comes to me with a sincere desire for help, with finding true spiritual health, from the words of Jesus Christ, without the use of 'the gift of guessing' involved in modern Psychiatry. I would not even dream of insulting my lord and Savior by attempting to improve on his perfection in this area. The physical part of the brain I leave to more qualified healers. For the sake of common knowledge, let me state clearly within the experience, and the knowledge of the truth, found in Christ alone, that anyone who places their own opinions above the needs of another, is most definitely not a qualified healer, I don't care what training they may have. Any qualified healer of any kind, must have the understanding that they can never justify behavior that they know (according to Jesus Christ) is wrong, and yet they must by commandment of Jesus Christ, forgive that same behavior in those seeking help for it, this is the need of others that any healers own opinions must be set aside for, in a commitment to help others as a qualified healer. Forgiving without justifying, is what our lord teaches qualified healers, under the only one who truly qualifies them in their Spirit. I will tutor and or bible study any Disciple of Christ drawn to learn the doctrine of Christ and/or street evangelism. I am willing to reason with or debate anyone, anytime in public forum, who does not believe Salvation can be found in Christ alone. Also anyone who does not believe in the power of the gospel of Christ (New Covenant) unto salvation, or who does not believe in the lawful use of the law in evangelism (Law to proud and grace to humble). I say this knowing that the curse of the law that the world is still condemned under (until belief in Christ; John 3:18) is perfect for converting the soul. I will preach much needed church reform on request free of charge and I will study to provide the word related Bible studies found on this site. I welcome you to browse.
