Theologians with their New Hermeneutic abandon or are DEPRIVED of the need or ability to read BLACK text on BROWN Paper. If they could or are allowed to read 2 Corinthians 3, they would know that rejecting Turning, being Converted or being Baptized INTO Christ, deprives them of the power to READ the text or HEAR it when the one-piece pattern is rejected of "Preaching once each rest day by READING the Word.
This is the proof of Jehovah's Witnesses. However, there is little comfort:
Is. 65:20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days:I will post the universal understanding that the earth is a remote outpost where God sent Jesus to save a small band of Lost Spirits. It is in an area of bombardment and crust breaking and perhaps only God keeps it safe until the Tiny Remnant are Baptized as the MARK of their ability to HEAR the invitation and BE BAPTIZED. Our spirits are then TRANSLATED into a heavenly kingdom where the World race of Vipers or Aborigines cannot find them.

but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.
Is. 65:21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them;
and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
Is. 65:22 They shall not build, and another inhabit;
they shall not plant, and another eat:
for as the days of a tree are the days of my people,
and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

Genesis speaks of the earth HAVING BECOME bohu and tohu. God brought order out of the pagan disorder and ignorance. God made the earth or Fruitful Lands standing in the water and OUT of the water.

Gary Holloway Ecumenical: First, [ecumenical] is biblical. “Ecumenical” is from the Greek word oikoumena, which is used 15 times in the New Testament for “the entire inhabited world.” The most interesting passage that relates to the modern meaning is Matthew 24:14: “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”

SUMMARY OF RECORDED FACTS NOT AVAILABLE TO ANY "DOCTOR OF THE LAW" WHOM JESUS SAID "TAKES AWAY THE KEY TO KNOWLEDGE."
1. Israel fell from grace beyond redemption because of Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted Idolatry at Mount Sinai.
2. The NOBILITY turned the REST of God into a day of the Worship as the ABOMINATION they brought from Egypt.
3. The REST of God is Sabbath or the Greek PAUO and demands STOPPING anything beyond Rest, Reading and Rehearsing the Word delivered by Moses.
4. The Civil-Military-Clergy were abandoned behind closed gates to engage in the Lust of Blood and Flesh and the HOLOCAUST of INFANTS and GOATS.
5. The Godly Jews were never gathered to engage in group singing with or without instruments: this was outlawed for the SYNAGOGUE as A School--only of the Word-only.
6. Any kind of musical or theatrical performance would MARK the Effeminate and their refusal to HEAR the Word of God.
7. Even worse, any kind of self-exhibition especially SINGING is that which MARKS and produces ALL of the data defining:
Abomination, Witchcraft, the BEASTS, Demon worship, Viper worship,Sorcery, Charming, Soothsaying, enchantment, harlots, beguilers, serpents, vipers, Serpo, Herpo, inducing wine-drinking, Cunning Craftsmen or Sophists, Rhetoricians, Dogs or Catamites, magic, Voodoo in primitive America, Melodies to deceive, Deceiver, Techne. religious craftsmen, Lucifer, Locusts, Apollyon, Levi-LeviathanMost of these Demonic Agents are named in Scripture and the ancient literature confirms that MUSIC was that sound or wave which attacks the very foundation of Space and Matter.

Plato, Euthydemus
[289d] On what proof do you rely? I asked.I see, he said, certain speech-writers who do not know how to use the special arguments composed by themselves, just as lyre-makers in regard to their lyres: in the former case also there are other persons able to use what the makers produced, while being themselves unable to make the written speech. Hence it is clear that in speech likewise there are two distinct arts, one of making and one of using.
I think you give sufficient proof, I said, that this art of the speech-writers cannot be that whose acquisition would make one happy. And yet I fancied that somewhere about this point would appear the knowledge which we have been seeking all this while.
[289e] For not only do these speech-writers themselves, when I am in their company, impress me as prodigiously clever, Cleinias, but their art itself seems so exalted as to be almost inspired. However, this is not surprising; for it is a part of the SORCERER'S art, epōdōn tekhnēs
Latin 289e:Plat. Euthyd. 290a and only slightly inferior to that. The sorcerer's art is the charming of snakes and tarantulas and scorpions and other beasts and diseases, while the other is just the charming and soothing of juries, assemblies [Ekklesia or church], crowds, and so forth. Or does it strike you differently? I asked.

A Christian is a Disciple is a STUDENT of that which is written. Period. Full Stop. A BELIEVER will never collect passages, interpret them and sell them to extorted students trusting too much. The Prophets define the REST including SKHOLE both inclusively and exclusively. God put His WORDS into the MOUTH of the Prophets and that DEFINES the Word SPIRIT as figurative or a parable

On the true Sabbath (Rest and never a day of "worship") outlaws seeking your own pleasure or SPEAKING your own words.
Paul in Romans 15 outlawed self-pleasure which defines rhetoric, singing or playing instruments. On then can you "use one mind and one mouth to speak that which is written for our learning" or "Scripture for our Comfort."
2.Peter.1.Prophecy.No.Private.Interpretation.html
Peter and others left us a MEMORY which must not be "Further Expounded." The Prophets defined the church inclusively and exclusively. Jesus fulfilled before eye-- and ear--witnesses Holy Scripture CONCERNING ME. Thereafter, the Assembly of Christ is Built Upon or EDUCATED by the Prophets made known by the apostles.
Eph. 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the APOSTLES and PROPHETS,
Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
Eph. 3:5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men,
as it is NOW REVEALED
unto his holy APOSTLES and PROPHETS by the SPIRIT;
SPIRIT produces the WORD, Logos or Regulative Principle. This outlaws personal opinions, personal experiences, rhetoric, singing, playing instruments or theatrics.
1Cor. 15:45 And so it is written,
The first man Adam was made a living soul;
the last Adam was MADE a quickening SPIRIT.
Those who say that GOD CAME IN THE FLESH are identified as ANTI-CHRISTS. They intend to Duct Tape The Mouth of Jesus Who made the LOGOS both audible and visible. God is WORD in the same sense that He is LIGHT, LIFE, GRACE etal. None are "god persons."
John 5:26 For as the Father hath life IN HIMSELF
Rubel Shelly And The Word Was God: Logos
so hath he GIVEN to the Son to have life in himself;
John 5:27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also,

Next, we will look at passages which identifies the Church as the Kingdom which fulfills all of the "prophecies" normally attributed to the END OF THE WORLD. The Church of Kingdom IS that New Jerusalem and its DRIVING PURPOSE is Spiritual.

Matt. 13:34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables;
and without a parable spake he not unto them:
Matt. 13:35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet,
saying, I will open my mouth in parables;
I will utter things which have been
kept secret from the foundation of the world [Kosmos NOT our universe]
Matt. 13:36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away,
and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him,
saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
Matt. 13:37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
Matt. 13:38 The field is the WORLD;
the good seed are the children of the kingdom;
but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
Matt. 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil;
the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

"In the Beginning" of the "creation" accounts has nothing to do with the The Lord (yhwh) the only true God (Elohim). "Beginning" can never be used to slander the Eternal Spirit of the universe. God, or as the say, Jesus did not create the material Cosmos is the opposite of Chaos six thousand years ago.
NEW REVIEW OF CHAPTER 9 TO DEFINE WHO WILL NOT ENTER INTO THE REST OF JESUS WHICH JOSHUA FAILED TO DELIVER:
John Mark Hicks Fails to honor the CONTEXT: When God called Abraham, he promised blessings through which all the nations would be blessed (Genesis 12:2-3). Included in those blessings is the land promise (Genesis 12:6-7). The promised land is part of the Abrahamic promise.
This land promise is both overplayed as some identify the contemporary state of Israel with this land promise and undervalued as others see no fulfillment of this promise in Israel’s Messiah who is Abraham’s seed. The former think that the state of Israel is the fulfillment (or at least the beginning of the fulfillment) of God’s promise to Israel while the later believe the land promise no longer obtains after Israel was returned from Babylonian exile. I would like to propose an alternative as I don’t think either of the above options are viable.
Israel is described as the “people of [God’s} inheritance” (Deuteronomy 4:20; cf. 1 Kings 8:53) The land was part of Israel’s inheritance as the firstborn son of God among the nations (Exodus 32:13; Leviticus 20:24; Deuteronomy 4:21). One need only to skim the Torah, especially Deuteronomy, to recognize the central role the land plays as the inheritance Israel receives from Yahweh as God’s children.
Deut. 4:15 Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves;
for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the Lord
spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:
Deut. 4:16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image,
the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
Deut. 4:17 The likeness of any beast that is on the earth,
the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,
Deut. 4:18 The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground,
the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:
Deut. 4:19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven,
and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars,
even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them,
which the Lord thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.
Deut. 4:20 But the Lord hath taken you,
and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt,
to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.
John Mark Hicks is too late:
John Mark Hicks as Theologian is not able to read the rest of the story.Num. 33:54 And ye shall DIVIDE the LAND by lot for an INHERITANCE among your families:
and to the more ye shall give the more INHERITANCE,
and to the fewer ye shall give the less INHERITANCE:
every man’s inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth;
according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.
Num. 34:13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying,
THIS IS THE LAND which ye shall inherit by lot,
which the Lord commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:
Matt. 19:29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father,
or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold,
and shall INHERIT everlasting LIFE.
Matt. 19:30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land?
what meaneth the heat of this great anger?
Deut. 29:25 Then men shall say,
Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers,
which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:
God had not commanded Animal Sacrifices or Burnt offerings (Isaiah 1; Jeremiah 7
with abominations provoked they him to anger.
Deut. 32:17 They sacrificed unto devils, [The Devil]
not to God;
to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up,
whom your fathers feared not.
Psalm 37 is a good example how the hope of inheriting the land, living in the land, and experiencing the goodness of God in the land is intergral to Israel’s joy in the Lord. Disturbed by the prosperity of the wicked, the Psalmist assures Israel that those who hope in and wait on the Lord will inherit the land.
Six times the Psalmist promises–and Israel liturgically rehearses promise–
that Israel will ultimately receive its promised inheritance.
They will “inherit the land.” Jesus himself practically quotes Psalm 37:11
when he announces: “Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth” (Matthew 5:5).

The Children of LIGHT Speak the Word, Logos or Regulative Principle. The Logos is the MARK or brand to mark those who speak on their own to prove that they are Sons (dna) of the Devil. Jesus defines Holy Scripture as the Prophets and other prophecies "concerning me." Moses prophesied of 'anothter prophet like me" to mark those who say that Jesus was NOT but was The Lord God come in the flesh.
The MARK is to say that God created the earth as His eternal home in the flesh.

History and archeology know that after the last ice age the population exploded and hunters and gatherers were replaced by nations such as Sumer and the rise of Central Planners where the nobility enslaved the masses. Ownership of the land and animals passed to the Towers of Babylon (like the temple in Jerusalem). The later Jews would be given kings to destrooy them and drive them into Captivity and Death.

Matt. 13:33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven,

I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
Matt. 13:36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house:

Matt. 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil;
the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
Matt. 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire;
so shall it be in the END OF THIS WORLD
Matt. 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels,

THEOLOGIANS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO UNDERSTAND PARABLES.
Moses wrote or compiled several creation accounts after Israel fell from grace by Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted Idolatry. God sentenced the into captivity and death and He DID NOT COMMAND the TEMPLE which was devoted to the APOLLYYON and other Sun gods.
Genesis begins with the creation of the ELOHIM of which Babylon had many trinities. The god or ELOHIM were "real" in that the Babylonians, Jews and others worshipped even when they called the golden calf their Elohim. In another sense Genesis 1 does not speak of the literal creation of the earth 6000 years ago. Moses begins with the proven destruction of human resources after the beginning of Agriculture which demanded cutting down everything to grow barley.
2Kings 3:25 And they beat down the cities,
and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone, and filled it;
and they stopped all the wells of water,
and felled all the good trees:
only in Kirharaseth left they the stones thereof;
howbeit the slingers went about it, and smote it.
Is. 14:8 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon,
saying, Since thou art laid down, no FELLER is come up against us.
Is. 14:9 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming:
it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth;
it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.

"Yet, through all there was an overarching harmony. The Greek word cosmos which we translate by universe originally meant beauty and harmony. The Pythagoreans discovered mathematical formulae for the musical harmonies. They believed in the harmony of the sounds produced by the movement of the stars. Therefore, they spoke of cosmic harmony of the spheres, each of which has a different sound, but all together creating a harmonious sound. If you delete the half-poetic, mythological elements from such ideas, then you can say that they had a universal, ecstatic interpretation of reality."

1Pet. 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us

We obey because Jesus HAS PLEDGED A Good conscience or A holy spirit for those who follow His pattern of being baptized to be Sanctified and Sent and becoming literally DEAD on the cross and resurrected. We imitate that pattern and are the Free from sin.

what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
Eph. 4:10 He that descended is the
same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.GOD WILL NOT DESCEND: PAUL SAID THAT "In Him do we move, live and have our being." God occupies the universe and does not DESCEND to live on a physical earth.
1Th. 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Th. 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall
be caught up together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord IN THE AIR
and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
In the 102d Psalm we have this promise, "The heavens shall perish--they all shall wax old as doth a garment, and as a vesture thou shalt change them."
Therefore, according to the promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth: for, says Peter, quoting from an old Prophet, "The heavens and the earth that are now are reserved unto Fire, against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men."
OF IGNORANT MEN
2Pet. 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of,
that by the WORD [what God SPEAKS] of God the heavens were of old,
and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
2Pet. 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, PERISHED:
2Pet. 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now,
by the same word are kept in store,
reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
The Earth or that standing OUT of Water has been wiped out many times. Most if not all ancient settlements are now UNDER WATER and therefore the living spaces were destroyed.
In the day of the Lord "the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat; the earth also, and the works that are therein, shall be burned up."
But He that sits upon the throne says, "Behold I CREATE all things new" (Rev. xxi. 5); and accordingly John saw new heavens and a new earth. And from that point in the heavens where the saints of the Lord assembled around their Master during the general conflagration, John saw the New Jerusalem, the holy city coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride for her husband, to locate in the new earth, the everlasting home of man; for the tabernacle of God is to be there forever.
Rev. 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth:
for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away;
and there was no more sea.

The Holy City or New Jerusalem Came down. However, it did not come down to the present earth
Rev. 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying,
Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them,
and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
Rev. 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Rev. 21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold,

And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithfulJohn Mark Hicks: The new creation model is an ancient understanding rather than a recent innovation by fringe groups. Recent historical developments have blinded biblical readers to the biblical emphasis on creation CARE.

But to us there is but ONE GOD, the Father,

1Th. 4:16 For the Lord [Kurios] himself

and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Th. 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord IN the air: caelo
and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
We will NOT escort Jesus or God back down.
We will forever be IN HEAVEN because the AIR PART will be blown away when the earth MELTS and is FRACTURED.

John Mark Hicks: When the Word became "flesh"
The enFLESHed God joined humanity
by dwelling as FLESH upon a material earth, the Word dwelt (tabernacled) with humanity.
Just as God in the beginning dwelt with humanity on the earth in the Garden
and then later dwelt with Israel in the tabernacle and temple,
And your preacher said that God cast Adam and Eve OUT into the WORLD??
Acts 7:44 Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness,
as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should
make it according to the fashion that he had seen.
Acts 7:45 Which also our fathers that came
after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles,
whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;
Acts 7:46 Who found favour before God,
and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
Skenos (g4636) skay'-nos; from 4633; a hut or temporary residence, i.e. (fig.) the human body (as the abode of the spirit): - tabernacle.

John Mark Hicks: so through incarnation God dwelt with humanitv in the life and ministry of Jesus. God joined humanity in God's "resting place," which is creation. Wondrously, God not only joined us here but also became part of creation itself in order to fully dwell with us in intimate communion.Acts 7:49 HEAVEN is my throne, and earth is my footstool:
what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?
Acts 7:50 Hath not my hand made all these things?
Acts 7:51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears,
ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
Acts 7:52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted?
and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One;
of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:
Is. 13:9 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh,Your "thought leaders" missed" "Spelling 101a" and "Prepositions, Card Class." Word is what your "toddler" speaks! He thinks, he breathes out and he articulates. His/her breath communicates their spirit or their mental disposition. Word, Spirit, Light etc are personifications. The Word or Logos outlaws personal opinions, experiences, rhetoric, performance singing, playing instruments, acting or SELLING Jesus at retail.

Is. 13:10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations
thereof shall not give their light:
the sun shall be darkened in his going forth,
and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
Is. 13:11 And I will punish the WORLD for their evil,
and the wicked for their iniquity;
and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease,

Is. 13:13 Therefore I will shake the heavens,
and the earth shall remove out of her place,

that he might DELIVER us from this present EVIL WORLD
according to the will of God and our Father:
1John 4:2 Hereby know ye
the Spirit of God:
Every spirit that confesseth
that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
Jesus was born in the flesh and did not become LORD and CHRIST until He carried His "blood" into the HEAVENLY Tabernacle. He identified as BLASPHEMY those who said that He "Made Himself God" when He always claimed to be the SON of God. God did not own Him until He was "sanctified and sent" at His baptism.
1John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not
that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh
is not OF God:
and this is that spirit of ANTICHRIST,
whereof ye have heard that it should come;
and even now already is it in the world.
1John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children,
and have overcome them:
because greater is he that is in you,

and the world heareth them.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,
(and we beheld his glory,
the glory AS OF the only begotten of the Father,)
full of GRACE and TRUTH. [Thy WORD is TRUTH]
Paul and everyone else understood that:
Titus 2:11 For the GRACE of God that bringeth salvation
hath APPEARED to all men,
Titus 2:12 TEACHING us that,
denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly,
righteously, and godly, in this PRESENT world;
How the WORD became FLESH
John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses,
but GRACE and TRUTH came BY Jesus Christ.

Luke 17:25 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.No one in their right mind would try to refute this book. Therefore, being in my right mind, I will just look at some passages where THE HOLY SPIRIT poke FACTS and post some of GOD'S WORD (Regulative Principle) to show how giddy theologians can become when they stand in THEIR holy place and claim to CO-inspire beyond the TEXT.
Mark 9:12 And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things;
and how it is written of the Son of man,
that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.
Mark 9:1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you,
That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death,
till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
Mark 9:2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John,
and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves:
and he was transfigured before them.
John Mark Hicks: THEOLOGY, not MERE facts, SHAPES how we OURSELVES enter into the story of God and live it out in our lives.
2Th. 2:1 Now we beseech you,John Mark Hicks and friends claim that THIS WORLD was Created by Jesus and the New Jerusalem or the Church Age will begin AFTER the Resurrection and God (Jesus) will live on this LITERAL earth and we will continue. Jesus said that He was not OF this WORLD and no Disciple will be PROVEN to not be OF this World. Jesus didn't create the universe 6000 years ago and mankind has been around for a LONG TIME. The first Creation in Genesis One is by the ELOHIM and we will show later that Moses was speaking of the GODS to who God had abandoned the Jews. In Genesis Two Jehovah the only real Elohim FORMED the creation which had become totally corrupt is darkness (ignorance) and God brought LIGHT. We will NAME the Primordial "gods" the Jews and modern Theologians worship.
brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2Th. 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled,
neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us,
as that the day of Christ is at hand.
2Th. 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means:
for that day shall not come,
except there come a falling away first,
and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2Th. 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God,
or that is worshipped;
so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
2Th. 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish;God is WORD in the same sense that He is LIGHT and LIFE and everything. God's Word is NOT Jesus. God inspired Jesus and Jesus left us a MEMORY of the FACTS by the 12 APOSTLES who sand at the GATES of the New Jerusalem.
because they received not the LOVE of the TRUTH, that they might be saved.
2Th. 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2Th. 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Minimal ethics and morality demand that if you "see godliness as a means of financial gain" you are required to believe that God is logical and that HE speaks FACTS. Theology--for minimal scholars--has to do with

For they make the first principles Gods or generated from Gods, and say that whatever did not taste of the nectar and ambrosia became mortal—clearly using these terms in a sense significant to themselves; but as regards the actual applications of these causes their statements are beyond our comprehensionEmbracing Creation
The Ray Evans Seminar, an annual event at the Alameda Church of Christ [NOT] in Norman, Oklahoma, was held March 31-April 2, 2017.
The general topic was Embracing Creation, which is also the title of the book I co-authored with Bobby Valentine and Mark Wilson. The book is available here.
I gave six presentations as well as conducted a question and answer session. You can download audio or video to your ITunes or listen online here. You will need to scroll down to the appropriate date (March 31-April 2, 2017).
These are the titles of the presentations:
- A Cathedral of Praise: God, Creation, and Humanity.
- The Joy of Creation: The Testimony of the Psalms.
- Jesus: The Agent of Creation AND New Creation.
- The Meek Shall Inherit the Earth: The New Heaven and New Earth
- Question and Answer Session
- Creation and New Creation in Baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
- Why “Go to Church?”- Joining Heaven and Earth in the Praise of God
Matt. 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Matt. 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Matt. 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the EARTH.

Lastly, it is important because Jesus is the first born of new creation.
Zeph. 2:3 Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord’s anger.
Matt. 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Matt. 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Jesus was born in the FLESH 33 years before he became the firstborn of the CHURCH.
Col. 1:15 Who is the IMAGE [Forma] of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Col. 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth,
visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers:
all THINGS were created [Purchased] by him, and for him:
2Pet. 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the WORD of GodThe First Creation by the ELOHIM in Genesis 1
the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
2Pet. 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished
2Pet. 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now,
by the same WORD are kept in store,
reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

When the Son became flesh, the Word joined HIMSELF to creation and united God with creation.
The WORD is not a god but in the class with LIGHT and other qualities of God. The Word, Logos or Regulative Principle: it outlaws TWISTING The Holy Spirit revealed WORD to mean just the opposite to God's Word. It outlaws personal opinions, rhetoric, singing, playing instruments or any HUMAN input beyond "Teaching that which has been TAUGHT for our LEARNING..
Rom. 1:2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)The INCARNATION means God secured the eternal existence of creation existence of CREATION because the son is forever HUMAN and thous forever shares our creaturehood as our elder Brother.
Rom. 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord,
which was made of the seed of David according to the FLESH;
Rom. 1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with power,
according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
John 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
Acts 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted,
In His GLORIFIED STATE Jesus was in the STATE of Holy (wholly) Spirit which he said means "without flesh and bones"
and having received of the Father the promise [the thing promised] of the Holy Ghost,
he hath SHED FORTH this, which ye now see and hear.

Plut. De Gloria 4 eloquence, gave him this admonition, that he was no poet, for that he never composed any fables, which was the chiefest office of poetry; in regard that strange words, figures, metaphors, songs, and measures were invented to give a sweetness to things. Which admonition Pindar laying up in his mind, wrote a certain ode which thus begins:
The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
Acts 2:35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly,
that GOD [Theos] hath made that same Jesus,
whom ye have crucified, both LORD [Kurios] and Christ.
JESUS WAS NOT THE LORD UNTIL HIS RESURRECTION AND BEGINNING TO REIGN AT PENTECOST.
Rom. 14:9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived,
that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
Matt. 17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
Matt. 17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
Matt. 17:3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
Matt. 17:4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
Matt. 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
Matt. 17:6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
Matt. 17:7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
Matt. 17:8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
Matt. 17:9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
Rom. 12:2 And be not conformed to THIS WORLD:Moreover, the Son transformed human existence--thus CREATION'S as well-
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.
1Cor. 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
1Cor. 15:23 But every MAN in his own order:
Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
1Cor. 15:24 Then cometh the end, when
he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father;
when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
1Cor. 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
1Cor. 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead.
It is sown in corruption; it is raised in INCORRUPTION:
1Cor. 15:43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in GLORY:
it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
1Cor. 15:44 It is sown a NATURAL body; it is raised a SPIRITUAL body.
There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
through death when he was raised as the firstborn from the dead.
His resurrection is the beginning of new creation,
and the BODY of Jesus is part of the new creation
ust as our resurrected bodies will participate in new creation.
Rom. 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,For NOW, the New Creation is the Holy Place or the Bride of Christ. The new Creation is
that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice,
holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Rom. 12:2 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.
Creation is important because it will make new in the resurrection, which include not only our bodies but the dwelling place of God as well, the new heaven and new earth.
The World or Kosmos is the Ecumenical or the Kingdom of the Devil. This EARTH is the Home of all DARK FORCES engaged in a titanic battle with the FORCES OF LIGHT. Those who are not OF the World are LOST SPIRITS. They are the ELECT or small remnant of Israel who had not bowed to Baal. In addition to the ELECT Jesus' mission was to call or elect Gentiles scattered throughout the world: they will not show up at the Church House of the WORLD which does not teach that which Jesus commanded.
THERE IS ONE GOD THE FATHER AND ONE MEDIATOR JESUS CHRIST THE RIGHTEIOS.
Matt. 13:36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house:
and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
Matt. 13:37 He answered and said unto them,
He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
Matt. 13:38 The field is the WORLD; the good seed are the children of the kingdom;
but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
Matt. 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil;
the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
Matt. 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire;
so shall it be in the end of this world.
God the Father made Jesus of Nazareth to be the only VISIBLE image (Forma) of God. God the father inhabits the Kingdom or church now when it Rests, Reads and Rehearses the Word. Anything being a School of Christ is a cult and OF THE WORLD.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am THE way, THE truth, and THE life:GOD IS TRIADIC ALL BY HIMSELF: He THINKS, He BREATHS (Spirit) and He SPEAKS WORDS.
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
As the ANTITHESIS of all Pagan Trinity Families, God manifests HIMself in the Singular Jesus of Nazareth.
Neither Jesus nor anyone who HEARS are OF this WORLD. The will SPEAK the WORD or Regulative Principle and be HATED and despised. Faithful preachers never get rich and famous by cobbling up books.John 6:63 It is the SPIRIT that quickeneth;
the flesh profiteth nothing:
the WORDS that I speak unto you,
they are SPIRIT, and they are LIFE.
Heb. 11:9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
1Pet. 1:17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
John 14:7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.Baptism now saves us. Baptism of the LIVING is faith that those who obey the tupos or pattern of Jesus will now receive SPIRITUAL LIFE.
John 14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
John 14:9 Jesus 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?
John 14:10 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.
John 14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
Luke 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me,
and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
Eph. 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
Eph. 3:3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
Eph. 3:4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
Eph. 3:5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
Eph. 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory,
to be strengthened with might by HIS Spirit in the INNER MAN
Eph. 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith;
that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
Eph. 3:18 May be able to comprehend with all saints
what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
Eph. 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge,
that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Eph. 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that worketh in us,
Eph. 3:21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
1Cor. 15:24 Then cometh the end,
when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father;
when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
1Cor. 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
1Cor. 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
1Cor. 15:27 For he hath put all things under his feet.
But when he saith all things are put under him,
it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
1Cor. 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him,
then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him
that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
1Cor. 15:29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead,
if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
Acts 7:46 Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
Acts 7:47 But Solomon built him an house.
Acts 7:48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
Acts 7:49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?
Acts 7:50 Hath not my hand made all these things?
Acts 7:51 ¶ Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
Bullet Points
The present earth will be RENEWED or TRANSFIGURED, transfigured, the Resurrected saints will live upon it and God will descend to dwell with humanity.
The new creation model is an ancient understanding rather than a recent innovation by fringe groups Recent historical developments have blinded biblical readers to the biblical emphasis on creation CARE.
John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
John 14:2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
John 14:4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
John 13:33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.
Why are material resurrection and a RENEWED earth so important in a new creation model?
1Cor. 15:41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
1Cor. 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
1Cor. 15:43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
1Cor. 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
1Cor. 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
1Cor. 15:46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
1Cor. 15:47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
1Cor. 15:48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
1Cor. 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
1Cor. 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
1Th. 3:11 Now God himself and our Father,
and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.
1Th. 3:12 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:
