University Curriculum The HolySpirit
Leonard Allen Lipscomb
Holy Spirit Class. I have included mos of Leonard Anderson's
proof texts. I will add the context to show that he nor any
"THEOLOGIAN--MYTHOLOGISTS--APOLLYON SUPPORTER" needs nor
does care about the Jesus Context. Any Bible reader
would know that "the Promise of the Holy Spirit" means that
Jesus in His glorified STATE (never a god) of Holy Spirit or
Pure Mind or Spirit.
Eph. 4:7 But unto
every one of us is given grace according to the measure
of the GIFT OF CHRIST.
Eph. 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he [CHRIST]
ascended up on high,
he [CHRIST]
led captivity captive, and gave GIFTS unto men.
Lipscomb's
"Institute for Christian Spirituality" proposes to FORM the
Spirits of Righteous Men translated into the Heavenly kingdom by
the WORKS OF HUMAN HANDS. That is because they have been
strongly deluded and can no longer SELL the free water of the
Word.
ACU-OSBURN.html
The ACU
Agenda: Train Prophetic roles, Channelers and Facilitators the method
of subverting the
'hierarchial" views of JESUS
and PAUL. "The Bible is not so much a 'heaven-sent answer
book' as a historical book produced within and for a historical community-- yet it serves as Scripture today because people find themselves accountable to it. That is what make
its Scripture" (p. 46).
Walter.Brueggeman.Rejects.Scripture.Lipscomb.University.html
"Perhaps the
most startling conclusion that Brueggemann arrives at from this construct is
that we cannot help but
interpret the biblical texts so that our own "good" morality
is in agreement with what the authors of the texts
appear to be saying.
But any "theologian" can make Father-Son
INTELLIGIBLE if you pay them enough.
Well, to make a
long story short,
the authors of the
Bible had their own particular godly MOTIVES
for bringing
these texts before us; and the moral lessons
aren't always
written in front of us.
What is clear in Brueggemann’s text is
that he does not accept that the PROPHETS spoke
because they were revealing the very person and work of God. He does not believe that the
authors were recording God’s actual dealings with humans,
past or future; rather, he says that they “wrought,” i.e., made
up, acts of God from their imaginations.
BRUEGGEMAN Nand
therefore some Lipscomb Theologians call Jesus a LIAR.

Outline
New Hermeneutic: The doctrine of
the Spirit, long neglected in the West,
has
come to the forefront as Christendom has collapsed.
Luke 17:20 And when he
was demanded of the Pharisees,
when the kingdom of
God should come, he answered them and said,
The kingdom of God
cometh not with observation:
Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there!
for, behold, the
kingdom of God is within you.
Jesus teaches His little flock in secret and quiet places.
He opens the WORD only to those who have enlisted by
baptism.

The
Church of Christ which has existed - barely visible or
audible- in all ages. It sees that H. Leo Boles at Lipscomb
first preached POLYTHEISM in 1938 and first
published in 1942. People able to read understood Jeus
to say:
John 6:62 What and if
ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
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.
John 6:64 But there
are some of you that believe not.
For Jesus knew from the beginning who they
were that believed not,
and who should betray him.
John 6:65 And he
said, Therefore said I unto you,
that no man can come unto me,
except it were GIVEN unto him of my
Father.
The World or Kosmos
is the ECUMENICAL, the Kingdom of the Devil making war against
the INVISIBLE Kingdom of God. The Word religion was marked by
sexuality and homosexuality.
Jesus was not OF the
World and those who HEARD His WORD were baptized and
their spirits translated into the heavenly kingdom. When Jesus
or others just spoke His WORD they would be hated, expelled
and even shed blood.
The Church of Christ
is the WAY that is called SECTARIAN or Heretic. THE ROAD is
the PATTERN and only a tiny few will find it.
1. Introduction [chap 1,
pp 23-30]
New Hermeneutic:The Spirit is fully God
and shares the rich life of the Father and the Son;
this focus provides a check against distortions and
deficiencies in the Body of Christ.
There is ONE God who is in Hebrew
Lord [yhwh] the only God [Elohim]
There is the MAN Jesus of Nazareth: God sanctified Him
and gave Him the Role of Lord and Christ.
SPIRIT is figurative or a parable word to HIDE frome the wise
or Sophists: speakers, singers, players.
God IS Spirit: when He communicates with Moses, the Prophets
and lastly Jesus, the form is ALWAYS
Deut. 18:18 I will raise them up
a Prophet
from among their
brethren, like unto thee,
and will put my WORDS
in his MOUTH;
and he shall SPEAK
unto them all that I shall command him.
John 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them,
When ye have lifted up
the Son of man,
then shall ye know that
I am he,
and that I DO NOTHING OF MYSELF
but as my Father hath TAUGHT me,
I SPEAK
these things.
God is not a cripple as theologians want to believe. God
does not need another "God" person to communicate with His
Son.
John 8:38 I SPEAK that
which I have seen with
my Father:
and ye DO that which ye have seen with
your father. [the Devil]
DO is anything you make, compose,
speak, sing, play, fleece.
OF is a preposition: The Spirit OF
God is His Own Spirit. Spirit defines His mind or mental
disposition.. When God communicates only With Moses, the
Prophets and in these last days, Jesus whom He MADE to be both
Lord in Christ. The for is ALWAYS "God puts his WORD
directly into the MOUTH of Moses. When Miriam claimed
the same right, God slapped her with a dose of Leprosy.
God will do the same for anyone who must CLAIM to hear His
Voice. Jesus did not speak His WILL (only) to Paul until
he HEARD the voice of Jesus in His STATE of Holy Spirit
and SEE Him as a blinding LIGHT.
Even Simple Simon understood that a Covenant is the Last Will
and Testament. God gave Jesus 12 Apostles to be with Him, hear
the Covenant endorsed by Signs and wonders and the leave
US a memory. Peter outlawed private interpretation of "further
expounding." Peter and others left their PART of the Perfect
Law of Liberty.
2.Peter.1.Prophecy.No.Private.Interpretation.html
No Christian would be so profane as to
give himself the right to alter the will even of a wicked
person.

1Tim. 2:5 For there is ONE GOD,
and ONE mediator

MAN Christ Jesus;
Simon sez: God is not Jesus or a man:
Jesus is not GOD
1Tim. 2:6 Who gave HIMSELF

mar-too´-ree-on; neuter of a presumed derivative of 3144;

Christ, and lie not;)
a teacher of the
Gentiles in faith and verity.
Nothing
that Leonard Allen imagines or wished to impose such as
instrumental mocking or women presiding has any value
because He has not DIED for that Right..
The Prophets defined the Church or REST of Christ both
inclusively and exclusively.
Jesus is call a Prophet and not a God; He Affirmed those
prophecies. Theologians say that Jesus was a plagiarist
meaning He was a liar.
Rev. 19:10 And I fell at his feet to
worship [fall on their face] him.
And he said unto me,
See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant,
and of thy BRETHREN
that have the TESTIMONY of
Jesus:
worship God: for the
TESTIMONY
of Jesus IS the SPIRIT of prophecy
PERHAPS AS
WE WRITE!
Rev. 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood:
and his NAME is called The Word of God.
Rev. 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him
upon white horses,
clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
Rev. 19:15 And out of his MOUTH goeth a sharp SWORD,
[Eph. 6:17]
that with it he should
smite the nations:
and he shall RULE them
with a ROD [sceptre] of iron:
4165. poimaino,
poy-mah´-ee-no; from 4166;
to tend as a shepherd of (figuratively,
superviser):
— feed (cattle), rule.
and he treadeth
the winepress of the fierceness and wrath
of Almighty God.
Rev. 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name
written,
KING OF KINGS, AND LORD
OF LORDS.
The glorified
Jesus is in the STATE of Holy Spirit and of His Words:
Jesus doesn't want us to eat His literal Flesh!
John 6:62 What and
if ye shall see the Son of MAN ascend
up where he was
before?
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.
John 8:31 Then said
Jesus to those
Jews which believed on him,
IF ye
continue in MY WORD, [The Regulative Principle]
THEN
are ye MY disciples indeed;
1Cor. 12:1 Now
concerning SPIRITUAL GIFTS,
brethren,
I would not have you ignorant.
1Cor. 12:2 Ye know
that ye were Gentiles,
carried away unto these dumb idols, even as
ye were led.
1Cor. 12:3 Wherefore
I give you to understand,
that no man SPEAKING
by the Spirit OF God
calleth Jesus accursed:
and
that no man can SAY
that Jesus is the Lord,
but
by the Holy SPIRIT.
OF is a preposition so that the Spirit OF
God is God's own Spirit. You will also notice that
SPIRIT is always connected to SPEAK or INTERPRET.
1Cor. 12:7 But the manifestation
of the Spirit
is
given to every man to profit withal.
sumpherō , The
Synagogue or Ekklesia concept "bring together, gather,
collect"
No gift of Christ in His STATE of Holy Spirit without the
ordination of an Apostle. One person who could speak the
WORD was to PROFIT the whole congregation.
You will notice that Jesus Christ
gifted only ONE with a special gift.
Working together they SILENCED the many seeking to
make a living out of collected saints. Paul REMOVED
all money and God shut their evil mouths.
1Cor. 12:8 For to ONE is given by the SPIRIT the WORD of wisdom;
to
ANOTHER the WORD
of knowledge by the same Spirit;
1Cor. 12:9 To another faith by the same
Spirit;
to
another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
1Cor. 13:10 But when that which is
perfect is come,
then that which is in part shall be done away.
teleō ,fulfil one's
word bring to fulfilment or perfection, be fulfilled, turn out
Heb. 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come,
and not the very image of
the things,
can never with those
sacrifices which they offered year by year continually
make the comers thereunto
perfect. [teleō]
The Perfect Law of Liberty Cancels the Law against us so that we
have liberty. The Covenant or Testimony must be delivered,
testified to and recorded and making gifted-people with Oral
teaching obsolete. It is obvious that if individuals knew PART
of the teaching there must be a WHOLE or PERFECT
James 1:25 But whoso looketh into
the perfect [teleō] law of
liberty,
and continueth therein,
he being not a forgetful
hearer,
but a doer of the work,
this man shall be
blessed in his deed.
Heb.
9:16 For where a testament is,
there must also of
necessity be the death of the testator.
Heb. 9:17 For a testament is of force after men
are dead:
otherwise it
is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
g1242. diatheke, dee-ath-ay´-kay; from 1303; properly, a
disposition, i.e. (specially) a contract (especially a
devisory will): — covenant, testament.
Heb. 9:18 Whereupon neither the first testament was
dedicated without blood.
Heb. 9:19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all
the people
according to the
law, he took the blood of calves and of goats,
with water,
and scarlet wool, and hyssop,
and sprinkled both
the book, and all the people,
Heb. 9:20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament
which God hath
enjoined unto you.
Heb. 9:21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood
both the tabernacle,
and all the vessels of the ministry.
Heb. 9:22 And almost all things are by the law
purged with
blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
Jude 1 Jude, the servant of Jesus
Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by
God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:
Jude 2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
Jude 3 ¶ Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you
of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto
you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the
faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
Jude 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were
before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men,
turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying
the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jude 5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once
knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of
the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.

James 1:25 But whoso

These are Spirits
OF some power and NEVER another God or person.
Is. 11:2 And the spirit OF the Lord shall rest

SPIRIT
[1] of

the spirit of

and he shall NOT judge after the SIGHT

Is. 11:4 But with righteousness shall he judge the
POOR,
and reprove with
equity for the MEEK of the earth:
and he shall
smite the earth with the rod of his mouth,
and with the SPIRIT
of his LIPS shall he slay the wicked.
In Ephesians 4 Paul
speaking by Jesus in the STATE of Holy Spirit laid out
a sequence of revelation:
Eph. 4:11 And he gave
some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and
some, pastors and teachers;
Eph. 4:12 For the
perfecting of the saints,
for the work of the ministry,
for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Eph. 4:13 UNTIL
we all come in the unity of the faith,
and of the knowledge of the Son of God,
unto a perfect man,
unto the measure of
the stature of the fulness of Christ:
JESUS PROVIDED SUPERNATURAL GIFTS TO MEN AT
VARIOUS LEVELS UNTIL THE "PERFECT LAW OF LIBERTY WAS
PERFECTED.
Eph. 4:14 That we
henceforth be no more children,
tossed to and fro, and carried about with every
wind of doctrine,
by the sleight of men,
and cunning craftiness, [Sophists: speakers, singers, instrument
players]
whereby they lie
in wait to deceive;
Eph. 4:15 But SPEAKING the TRUTH in
love,
may grow
up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
COLLECTED SCRIPTURE PASSAGES AND THE
EPISTLES WERE QUICKLY SPREAD AS A WAY TO MARK THE SLICK
WILLIS CLAIMING THAT PAUL WAS NOT COMPETENT
Paul was the LAST Apostle "born out of
Apostle time span". Honorable men could continue the
ONE-PIECE pattern for the School of Christ.
Acts 13:27 For they that
dwell at Jerusalem, and their RULERS,
because they

nor yet the
voices of the PROPHETS

THERE ARE NO APOSTLES, PROPHETS OR ELDERS

Jesus and the Spirit [chap 3, pp 66-70; chap 4, pp 78-80; chap

• First fruits (Rom. 8:23; cf. 14–30).
• Down payment or guarantee (2 Cor. 1:21–22; 5:5; Eph. 1:14).
• Seal (2 Cor. 1:21–22; Eph. 1:13–14; 4:30)
Obviously the Speaker was God: when God's
SPIRIT rests, pours, comes upon, the result is the SOUND which
is carried by god's BREATH (spirit.
Luke 3:21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to
pass,
that Jesus also being
baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Luke 3:22 And the Holy SPIRIT
descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him,
and a VOICE came
from heaven, which SAID,
Thou art my beloved Son;
in thee I am well
pleased.
1Kings 22:22 And the LORD said unto him,
Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth,
and I will be a LYING SPIRIT
in the MOUTH of all his prophets.
And he said, Thou shalt
persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.
Micah 2:7 O thou that art named the house of Jacob,
is the spirit
OF the Lord straitened? are these his doings?
do not MY words
do good to him that walketh uprightly?
Isaiah 59:21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the
LORD;
My SPIRIT that is
upon thee,
and my WORDS which I
have put in thy MOUTH,
shall not depart out of thy
mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed,
nor out of the mouth of thy
seed’s seed, saith the LORD,
from henceforth and for
ever.
Gal. 4:5 To REDEEM, them that
were under the law
THAT we might receive
the adoption of sons.
Gal. 4:6 And because ye are sons,
God hath sent forth the
Spirit OF HIS SON your
hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
The Spirit OF JESUS is not another PERSON. Paul
shows clearly that it is unwise to see spirit as always speaking
of a PERSON when is has never and can never define a person.
Spirit is the Mental Disposition of a Person.
1Cor. 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man,
save the spirit OF man which is IN him?
IN THE SAME WAY:
even so the things of God knoweth no man,
but the Spirit OF God.
Allen says that God was ECSTATIC or OUT of His MIND. God
ALWAYS puts His Word into the Mouth of His chosen few.
1Cor. 2:12 Now we have received,
not the spirit OF the world,
but the spirit which is OF God;
that we might KNOW
the things that are freely given to us of God.
SPIRIT produces WORDS to instruct the Apostles to whom Jesus in
the STATE of Holy Spirit promised.
1Cor. 2:16 For who hath known the MIND of the Lord,
that he may instruct him?
But we have the MIND of Christ.
New Hermeneutic: The Spirit
is the power of God’s new order that,
beginning
with Christ’s death and resurrection and with Pentecost,
is
breaking into the old order of brokenness and death.

so that from Jerusalem, and round about
unto Illyricum,
I have fully
preached the gospel of Christ.
Rom. 16:24 The grace
of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Rom. 16:25 Now to him
that is of power to STABLISH you
according to my gospel,
and the preaching of Jesus Christ,
according to the revelation of the mystery,
which was kept secret since the world
began,
2Cor. 12:9 And he said
unto me,
My grace is sufficient for thee:
for my strength is made perfect in
weakness.
Most gladly therefore will I rather glory
in my infirmities,
that the POWER OF
CHRIST Christ may rest upon me.
Eph. 2:2 Wherein in
time past ye walked according to the course of this WORLD,
according to the prince of the power of the
air,
the SPIRIT that now worketh in the
children of disobedience:
Eph. 2:3 Among whom
also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of
our flesh,
fulfilling the
desires of the flesh and of the mind;
and were by nature the children of wrath,
even as others.
Rom. 1:16 For I am
not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:
for it is the power of God unto
salvation
to every one that believeth; to the Jew
first, and also to the Greek.
1Cor. 1:18 For the
preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but
unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
1Cor. 1:24 But unto
them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power
of God, and the wisdom of God.
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.
2Cor. 13:4 For though
he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power
of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with
him by the power of God toward you.
Holy Spirit is never
a GOD or PERSON. SPIRIT is figurative or a parable
to HIDE from the wise, sophists meaning speakers, singers or
instrument players.
God put His WORDS
into the MOUTH of the PROPHETS. The prophets defined the
future NEW CREATION of the Kingdom of Christ both inclusively
and exclusively. The church is built upon or educated by
the Prophets and Apostles.
When Jesus was
glorified and took His blood into the Tabernal in Heaven, He
RETURNED with the "promise of the Holy Spirit." That
means that He is in the State of Holy Spirit.

as she
herself in her human form also is seen bearing the olive branch in her hand; and from this form of

hope,
Rom. 8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from

children of God.

he resurrected Jesus tells his disciples that they
will be his witnesses “when the Holy
Spirit comes upon you” (Acts 1:8).
In what is called the Johannine Pentecost, Jesus declared to his
disciples, “‘Peace be with
you! As the Father sent me, I am sending you.’ And with that he
breathed on them and
said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit’” (20:21–22).
*What does this look like in our lives? [e.g., we live in peace,
despite what is going on
around us; through this peace (and in other ways) we witness to
God’s very presence in
us]
The Spirit guides and empowers the Christian mission. In Acts
the Spirit is mentioned 59 times.
The Spirit inspires bold proclamation of Jesus (4:8-12; 6:5-10;
9:17, 20).
The Spirit chooses missionaries (13:2) and opens and closes
doors (16:6-7; 21:4).
Matt.
28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
All power is given
unto me in heaven and in earth.

New
Hermeneutic:The Spirit, through faith and attendance to
the means of grace,
forms us into the image of Jesus Christ.
1. The filling of the Spirit
Believers are baptized in or filled with the Spirit when they
become Christians. “We were all
baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or
Gentiles, slave or free—and we
were all given the one Spirit to drink” (1 Cor 12:13). To be
baptized in the Holy Spirit means “to
become a Christian and to become a member of the Body of
Christ.” (James Dunn)
“Be filled with the Spirit (or, keep on being filled with the
Spirit)” (Eph 5:18).

Forms Us [chap 6, pp 125-132]
Key Scriptures: Acts 2:42-47; Heb 4:12; Rom

Acts 2:40 And with many other
words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from
this untoward generation.
Acts 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were
baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about
three thousand souls.
Acts 2:42 They devoted themselves to the APOSTLE’S
TEACHING
and to the fellowship,
to the breaking of bread
and to prayer.
Acts 2:43 Everyone was filled with awe,
and many wonders and
miraculous signs were DONE BY THE APOSTLES
Acts 2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the
temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their
meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
Acts 2:47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people.
And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be
saved.
Acts 8:16 because the
Holy Spirit had not yet
come upon any of them;
they had simply been
baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.

The goal of the Christian life is to be

“And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s
glory, are being transformed into
his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord,
who is the Spirit.”
Paul attributes this transformation to the work of the Spirit.

Eph. 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation,
and the sword of the
Spirit,
which is the word of
God:
Isa 59:15 Yea,
truth faileth; and he that departeth from
evil maketh himself a prey.
And the Lord saw it,
and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
Isa 59:16 And he saw that there was no man,
and wondered that
there was no
intercessor:
therefore his arm brought salvation unto him;
and his righteousness, it sustained him.
Isa 59:17 For he put on righteousness as a
breastplate,
and a helmet of salvation upon his head;
and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing,
and was clad with zeal as a cloak.
Isa 59:18 According to
their deeds,
accordingly he will
repay, fury to his
adversaries,
recompense to his enemies;
to the islands he
will repay
recompense.
Isa 59:19 So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west,
and his glory from
the rising of the sun.
When the enemy shall
come in like a flood,
the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a
standard against him.
And the Redeemer shall

8. In the Spirit
on the Lord’s Day [chap 7, pp 156-157; chap 6, pp 132-141;] Key
Scriptures: 1 Cor 2:9-10; Heb 12:22-24; Eph 5:18-19; 1
Cor 15:3-5
Through the Spirit we become partakers of
God’s life, caught up into the joy and fullness
of that life.
Christians “worship in the Spirit of God and boast in Christ
Jesus” (Phil 3:3, NRSV).
When Christians are “in the Spirit” on the Lord’s day, as the
writer of Hebrews envisioned it,
worshippers get caught up into the heavenly sanctuary—to “the
heavenly Jerusalem, to
thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, to the
church of the firstborn, to God the
judge of all, and to Jesus” (Heb 12:22-24). In worship we join
the end-time celebration of saints
from every tribe, nation, and language; we are inspired and
refreshed to live in the dawning of
that future that the Spirit makes possible.
So we are drawn into fellowship with God; at the same time we
are drawn into fellowship with
sisters and brothers in Christ—we experience “the fellowship of
the Holy Spirit” (1 Cor 13:14).
*Review and remember:
1Cor. 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.
1Cor. 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit:
for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of
God.
1Cor. 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.
1Cor. 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world,
but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things
that are freely given to us of God.
New
Hermeneutic:Through the Spirit we become partakers of
God’s life, caught up into the joy and fullness of that life.
9. Lord
and Giver of Life [chap 7, pp 148-153]
Key Scriptures: Ezek 37:1-14; Rom 8:10-11;
2 Cor 1:8-10, 20-21
In the midst of a groaning creation and our
own groaning, the Spirit intercedes with
wordless groaning.
Class introduction: Draw class members into the material
As we have seen in this series, Scripture uses many different
images or metaphors to picture the
work of the Holy Spirit:
o Wind or breath
o Fire
o A hovering bird
o Comforter/advocate (Paraclete)
o First fruits
o Down payment or guarantee
o Seal
o Living water
A prominent image we have not explored yet is: Giver of life.
“The Spirit gives life,” says Jesus. “The words I have
spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit
and life” (John 6:63).
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.
And for Paul the Spirit is the giver of new life—in the present
bringing life
out of brokenness and in the future bringing life beyond
physical death (Rom 8:10-11).
Ezek.
37:9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy,
son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Come from the four winds,
O breath, and
breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
7307. רוּחַ ruwach, roo´-akh;

breath,
i.e. a sensible (or
even violent) exhalation;
figuratively, life,

but only of a rational being

expression and functions):—air, anger, blast, breath, x
cool, courage, mind, x quarter, x side, spirit((-ual)),

Ezek. 37:10 So I prophesied as he
commanded me,
and the breath came into
them, and they lived,
and stood up upon their
feet, an exceeding great army.
Ezek. 37:11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are
the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are
dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
Ezek. 37:12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith
the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves,
and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you
into the land of Israel.
Ezek. 37:13 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have
opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of
your graves,
Ezek. 37:14 And shall put my SPIRIT in you, and ye shall LIVE,
and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know
that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the
LORD.
Rom. 8:9 But YOU are
not in the flesh,
but [YOU ARE] in the Spirit,
if so be that the
Spirit OF God dwell in you.
Now if any man have not the Spirit OF
Christ, he is none of his.
Rom. 8:10 And if
Christ be IN you,
the [your]
body is dead because of sin;
but the [your] Spirit
is life because of righteousness.
Rom. 8:11 But if the
Spirit OF HIM that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you,
he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your
mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Rom. 8:12 Therefore,
brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the
flesh.
New Hermeneutic: In the midst of a
groaning creation and our own groaning, the Spirit intercedes
with wordless groaning.
10. The
Spirit and Groaning [chap 8, pp 161-168]
Key Scriptures: Rom 8:15-26; 2 Cor 6:4-10 Gal
2:20
Our groanings are in solidarity with the groanings of
creation itself, which has been “subjected to frustration” and
waits with “eager longing” (Rom.
8:19). And so “the whole creation has been groaning as in the
pains of childbirth,” longing to be
freed from its “bondage to decay” (8:21–22).
Job 7:11 Therefore I will
not refrain my mouth;
I will SPEAK in the
anguish of my SPIRIT;
I will COMPLAIN in the
bitterness of my SOUL.
Rom. 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might
be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the
Spirit.
Rom. 8:5 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.
Rom. 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually
minded is life and peace.
Rom. 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is
not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
Rom. 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Rom. 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be
that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the
Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Rom. 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of
sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Rom. 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the
dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall
also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in
you.
Rom. 8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh,
to live after the flesh.
Rom. 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye
through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall
live.

New Hermeneutic:Renewal of
the doctrine of the Spirit is closely connected to renewal of
our engagement in the mission of God.
11. The
Church in the Presence of the Spirit [chap 9, pp 173-179]
Key Scriptures: 1 Cor 12:13; Eph 4:4-6; 1
Thess 1:5; Rom 12:1-2
1Cor. 12:8 For to ONE is
given by the Spirit the WORD of wisdom;
to ANOTHER the word of knowledge
by the same Spirit;
1Cor. 12:9 To ANOTHER
faith by the same Spirit; to ANOTHER
the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
1Cor. 12:10 To ANOTHER the working of miracles; to ANOTHER
prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers
kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
1Cor. 12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit,
dividing to every man
severally as he will.
1Cor. 12:12 For as the body is one, and hath many members,
and all the
members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is
Christ.
God is not stupid: the context is that the
Spirit OF Christ gives ONE special gift to several members: they
all work together and no one is spirit the ONENESS SPIRIT if a
united "mental disposition" since SPIRIT has never and can never
define God or person.
1Cor. 12:13 For by ONE
Spirit are we all baptized into one body,
whether we be Jews or
Gentiles, whether we be bond or free;
and have been all made
to DRINK into one Spirit.
Neither The Glorified
Christ was given the PROMISE or the ROLE or STATE of Holy
Spirit.
Rom. 5:15
But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if
through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace
of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus
Christ, hath abounded unto many.
Rom. 5:17 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one;
much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the
gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus
Christ.)
Rom. 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God
is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
1Cor. 1:7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Eph. 4:7 But unto every one of us is given grace according
to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Eph 4:4-6
Eph. 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of
the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Eph. 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are
called in one hope of your calling;
Eph. 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Eph. 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and
through all, and in you all.
Eph. 4:7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to
the measure of the GIFT OF CHRIST.
Eph. 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he [CHRIST]
ascended up on high,
he [CHRIST]
led captivity captive, and gave GIFTS unto men.

Outline
New Hermeneutic:
The doctrine of the Spirit, long neglected in the West,
has come to the forefront as
Christendom has collapsed.
Matt. 28:18 And
Jesus came and spake unto them,
saying, All power is given unto me in
heaven and in earth.
SPIRIT meant that God put His WORDS into the
MOUTH of the MAN Jesus for the LAST time.
Matt. 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in
the name [singular]
of the Father, and of the Son, and of
the Holy Ghost:
Matt. 28:20 TEACHING
them
to observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world.
[a165
Aion Messianic Age]
Amen.
Of the "another Comforter" Jesus promised I
will come to you. The Promise of the Holy Spirit was the
Evangelistic Office in His glorified STATE of Holy Spirit.
1John 2:1 My little children, these
things WRITE I unto you, that ye sin not.
And
if any man sin,
we
have an advocate [paraclete]
with the Father,
Jesus Christ the
righteous:
1John 2:2 And HE
is the propitiation for our sins:
and
not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole
world.
1John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we
know him,
IF we keep HIS commandments.
1John 2:4 He that saith, I know him,
and
keepeth not his commandments,
is
a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1John 2:5 But whoso keepeth his WORD,
in him verily is the love of God
perfected:
hereby know we that we are in him.
1John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him
ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
God is WORD in the same class with
SPIRIT, LIFE, LIGHT. Jesus SPOKE God's WORD, Logos

NOT: Spirit
IS a God. But: The Spirit OF God. Spirit is
never the NAME of a God. If The Holy Spirit were a God, it
would be an insult to address "him" as a THE. Holy is an
adjective and describes the mental disposition of God or Man.
FALSE CREED: this focus
provides a check against distortions and
deficiencies in the Body of Christ.
JESUS is still the HEAD (only teacher) at the CORNER
(Angle, quiet an sectet places). Leonard Allen
and all Theologians are the only ones
DISTORTING.
James 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of
liberty,
and continueth
therein,
he being not a
forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work,
this man shall
be blessed in his deed.
James 2:12 So SPEAK
ye, and so DO, as they that shall be judged
by the law of liberty.
In His Glorified State Jeus REIGN in
the STATE (never a person) of Holy Spirit
TRUTH: 2Pet. 1:1 Simon Peter, a servant
and an apostle of Jesus Christ,
to them that HAVE
obtained like precious faith with us
through the
righteousness
of God
AND-------------------------------Jesus was NOT God
our Saviour Jesus Christ:
2Pet. 1:2 Grace and peace be
multiplied unto you
through the knowledge of
God, [Just one Theos]
AND-------------------------------Jesus was NOT
God
of Jesus our Lord,
[Jesus was made Kurios 30 years after He came in
the FLESH]
2Pet. 1:3 According as HIS
divine power
hath given unto us all things
that pertain unto life and godliness,
through the knowledge of him
that hath called us to glory and virtue:
2Pet. 1:4 Whereby are given unto
us exceeding great and precious promises:
that by these ye might
be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped
the corruption that is in the world through lust.
"The Spirit VISITED
Israel on certain occasions and in certain individuals,
John 8:31 ¶ Then said Jesus to
those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word,
then are ye my disciples indeed;
2Sam. 23:2 The SPIRIT OF the LORD SPAKE by me,
Parallel:
and his WORD was in my TONGUE.
2Chronicles 18:21 And he said, I will go
out, and
be a lying spirit in the
mouth of all his prophets.
And the LORD said, Thou shalt
entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do even
so.
Isaiah 34:16 Seek ye out of the BOOK of
the LORD, and READ:
no one of these shall
fail, none shall want her mate:
for my MOUTH it
hath commanded,
and his SPIRIT
it hath gathered them.
Isaiah 59:21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith
the LORD;
My SPIRIT that
is upon thee,
and my WORDS
which I have put in thy MOUTH,
shall not depart out of
thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed,
nor out of the mouth of
thy seed’s seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and
for ever.
but in the new age, God pours out the Spirit, not
just on kings and prophets, but on every believer as a
permanent possession.
1 Corinthians 12:13 says that all
believers "drink of one Spirit," a verse that
alludes to Old Testament prophecies about the Spirit
being poured out in the age that is to come."
Prepositions are the
MISSING LINK an all documents which Corrupt the WORD meaning
selling their words at wholesale claiming that they are
speaking what GOD commanded to be SPOKEN and never SUNG.
God's WORD is Dabar or Logos or His Regulative Principle.
Logos is a "god" only among Hermes as the father of the New
Hermeneutics. Hermes is the god of thieves and LIARS,
homosexual religion, conductors of dead spirits into hell and the
INTERCESSOR between his CUSTOMERS and their god. For the LAST TIME
God put His WORD into the MOUTH of the MAN Jesus. Jesus and
everyone SPAKE--without change--the SPIRIT without Measure or
METRON meaning musical measure always known to deceive the simple
minded.
THE ANTITHESIS OF THE NEW LIPSCOMB
2Kings 23:24 Moreover the workers with
familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and the
idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of
Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away,
THAT he might perform the WORDS of the law
which
were WRITTEN in the BOOK that Hilkiah the priest
found in the house of the LORD.
A fact of history is
that LAWS or The Book of The Covenant for spiritual training
are ALWAYS recorded. This is the only way to MARK people
who claim to be SUPERIOR to God and His SPIRIT or His MIND.

Lesson 2: The Spirit in the Trinity
Key Scriptures: 1 Cor 12:4-6; 2 Cor 13:14; Eph 4:4-6; Rom 5:1-8
Reading: Chapter 3, pp. 59-62, 71-74
The Corinthians, like Leonard Allen, thought that any thing they
said was a GIFT. Not doubt this was psychological violence
as it is today. However, Paul laid down some rules to govern
those who prophesied or spoke the WORD by inspiration. There
is no reason that an Apostle had ordained anyone in Corinth with
the gift until THAT WHICH IS PERFECT was available. As each
Epistle is written the SALUTATION mentions only the ONE GOD whose
Spirit or Breath.
1Cor. 1:1 Paul, called to be an apostle
of Jesus Christ
through the will of God,
and Sosthenes our brother,
1Cor. 12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts,
brethren,
I
would not have you ignorant
1Cor. 12:2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles,
carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
1Cor. 12:3 Wherefore I give you to
understand,
that
no man speaking by the Spirit OF God
Calleth Jesus accursed:
and
that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy
Ghost.
1Cor. 12:3 Wherefore I give you to
understand,
that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus
accursed:
and
that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy
Ghost.
1Cor. 12:4 Now there are diversities of
gifts, but the same Spirit.
1Cor. 12:5 And there are differences of
administrations, but the same Lord.
1Cor. 12:6 And there are diversities of
operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
1Cor. 12:7 But the manifestation of the
Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom;
to
ANOTHER the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
1Cor. 12:9 To ANOTHER faith by the same Spirit;

That would guard against a pagan who claimed that Jesus was a
Fraud. Unfortunately, that is no longer true in churches
with Senior Pastor Persons.

The Corinthians, like Leonard Allen, thought that any thing they
said was a GIFT. Not doubt this was psychological violence
as it is today. However, Paul laid down some rules to govern
those who prophesied or spoke the WORD by inspiration. There
is no reason that an Apostle had ordained anyone in Corinth with
the gift until THAT WHICH IS PERFECT was available. As each
Epistle is written the SALUTATION mentions only the ONE GOD whose
Spirit or Breath.
1Cor. 1:1 Paul, called to be an apostle
of Jesus Christ
through the will of God,
and Sosthenes our brothe
That which is perfect
Eph. 4:2 ¶ With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering,
forbearing one another in love;
Eph. 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond
of peace.
Eph. 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called
in one hope of your calling;
Eph. 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Eph. 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through
all, and in you all.
Eph. 4:7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the
measure of the gift of Christ.
Eph. 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led
captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
Eph. 4:9 (Now that he ascended, 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.)
Eph. 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and
some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Eph. 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the
ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Eph. 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the
knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure
of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Eph. 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and
fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight
of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to
deceive;
Eph. 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in
all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Rom 5: 1-8
10
Eph. 5:1 ¶ Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
Eph. 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath
given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a
sweetsmelling savour.
Eph. 5:3 ¶ But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness,
let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
Eph. 5:4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting,
which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
Eph. 5:5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean
person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance
in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
Eph. 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of
these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of
disobedience.
Eph. 5:7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
Eph. 5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in
the Lord: walk as children of light:
Eph. 5:9 (For the fruit of the Spirit i
is in all goodness and
righteousness and truth;)
Eph. 5:10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
Eph. 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of
darkness, but rather reprove them.
Eph. 5:12 For it is a shame
even to speak
of those things which are done of them in
secret.
Eph. 5:13 But all things that
are reproved
are made manifest by the light:
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
Eph. 5:14 Wherefore he saith,
Awake thou that sleepest,
and arise from the dead, and Christ shall
give thee light.
Eph. 5:15 See then that ye
walk circumspectly,
[BUT] not as fools, but as wise,
Eph. 5:16 Redeeming the time,
because the days are evil.
Eph. 5:17 Wherefore be ye not
unwise,
[BUT] understanding what
the will of the Lord is.
Eph. 5:18 And be not drunk
with wine, wherein is excess;
[BUT] but be filled with
the SPIRIT;
Eph. 5:19 SPEAKING to yourselves
in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
[BUT] singing and making
melody in your heart to the Lord;
Eph. 5:20 Giving thanks always
for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord
Jesus Christ;
Eph. 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to
the course of this world, according to the prince of the power
of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of
disobedience:
Eph. 2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times
past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the
flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath,
even as others.
Eph. 2:11 ¶ Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past
Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that
which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
Eph. 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even
the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in
himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
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. 5:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh;
but nourisheth and
cherisheth it,
even as the Lord the
church:
Eph. 5:30 For we are members of his body,
of his flesh, and of his
bones.
Eph. 5:31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and
mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be
one flesh.
Eph. 6:5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters
according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness
of your heart, as unto Christ;
Eph. 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but
against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of
the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high
places.
Eph. 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye
heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in
whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy
Spirit of promise,
Eph. 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of
glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in
the knowledge of him:
Eph. 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course
of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air,
the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Eph. 2:18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto
the Father.
Eph. 2:22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation
of God through the Spirit.
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. 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the
bond of peace.
Eph. 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are
called in one hope of your calling;
Eph. 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
Eph. 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are
sealed unto the day of redemption.
Eph. 5:9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and
righteousness and truth;)
Eph. 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be
filled with the Spirit;
Eph. 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the
Spirit, which is the word of God:
Eph. 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the
Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and
supplication for all saints;
Rom. 8:2 For the LAW of the Spirit of life
in Christ Jesus hath made me
free from the law of sin and death.
Rom. 8:3 For what the law could not do,
in that it was weak
through the flesh,
God sending his own Son in
the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin,
condemned sin in the flesh:
Rom. 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in
us,
who walk not after the
flesh,
but [who walk] after the
Spirit.
Rom. 8:5 For they that are after the flesh
do mind the things of the
flesh;
but they that are after the
Spirit [do mind] the things of the Spirit.
Rom. 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually
minded is life and peace.
