Mike Cope: Antichrist denies ONE GOD and ONE MEDIATOR the MAN Christ Jesus.
The Spirit of Christ in Jeremiah 7 and Paul commands that BOTH male and female be SILENT during the assembly which had a one-piece pattern. UNLAWFUL AUTHORITY for women is unlawful for men: that is SELF AUTHORED songs or sermons beyond SPEAKING or READING the Word to guarantee against Gender-Conflicted actors, speakers or musicians.
1Tim. 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
1Tim. 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, [Kept Safe]
and to come unto the knowledge of THE TRUTH
(The Word, Logos, Regulative Principle)
1Tim. 2:5 For there is ONE GOD
and ONE mediator between God and men,
THE MAN JESUS CHRIST
1Tim. 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be TESTIFIED in due time.
1Tim. 2:7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle,
(I speak the truth in Christ, and LIE not;)
a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
Messiah was the SEED of Abraham and did not exist until God GAVE Jesus of Nazareth THAT ANOINTING.
False latter day trinitarians which is NOT the historic trinity WITHING GOD HIMSELF say that Jesus WAS-IS Jehovah God.
The Jews said that Jesus claimed to be equal with God.
Jesus said YOU BLASPHEME because I always said that I was the SON of God.
1John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is THE CHRIST
He is antichrist, that denieth the Father AND the Son.
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.
2John 7 For many deceivers are entered into the world,
who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh.
This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
In Ephesians 4 Paul DENIED Unity in diversity and commanded that the elders remove the cunning craftsmen or SOPHISTS which are speakers, singers or instrument players. Paul denied that they were just University-Level ignorant but THEY ARE LYING IN WAIT TO DECEIVE.
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 [APPOINTED, ORDAINED] to be the Son of God with power,
according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
1. The TESTIMONY of Jesus IS the Spirit OF Prophecy.
2. Words translated as SPIRIT literally mean WIND. It is used figuratively of God's BREATH.
3. Spirit CANNOT and HAS NOT been used to define a PERSON.
If The Spirit OF God or OF Christ was a PERSON it would be an insult to use the article THE.
Addressing him as "THE MIKE COPE" might be an insult.
4. Jesus SPAKE and never SANG God's Spirit WITHOUT METRON most often meaning Musical Meter. Therefore that is nothing metrical in the whole Bible because everyone knew that EVIL MEN SET THEIR LIES TO METER TO DECEIVE THE SIMPLE MINDED.
5. Eye and ear witnesses observed Jesus making the Prophecies More Certain Peter outlawed "private interpretation" or further expounding and Paul outlawed corrupting THE WORD which means Selling learning at Retail or prostitution.
Mike Cope: I know you were wondering, so here’s what Jimmy Buffett has to say about the Holy Spirit:
Vampires, Mummies, and the Holy Ghost,
These are the things that terrify me the most
No aliens, psychopaths, or MTV hosts
Scare me like vampires, mummies, and THE Holy Ghost!JIMMY SPOKE WELL OF PEOPLE WHO HALLUCINATE THAT A SPIRIT PERSON IS TELLING THEM TO MUSICALLY MOCK JESUS.
Looked in my laptop what did I see
A flashing message said today therapy
Rather walk through fire
Than converse with my shrink
But I'm getting better
That's what some people think
Talk about denial
And dysfunctional things
Head's like a bell somedays
It dongs and it dings
My brain playing tricks on me
It likes to shift gears
Spend lots of money
But I'm tackling my fears
Vampires, Mummies and the Holy Ghost
These are the things that terrify me the most
No aliens, psychopaths or MTV hosts
Scares me like vampires, mummies and the Holy Ghost
WHEN YOU LIE TO GOD AND ABOUT GOD HE SENDS STRONG DELUSIONS SO THAT IT IS NO LONGER TO HAVE A HOLY SPIRIT OR A GOOD CONSCIENCE AND ABLE TO READ BLACK TEXT ON BROWN PAPER.
Of the Musical Idolatry at Mount Sinai used by Jude, he said that it will happen again because they are FOREORDAINED.
THE CANNOT READ:
Amos 5:26 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images,
the STAR of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
Acts 7:41 And they made a calf in those days,
and offered sacrifice unto the idol,
and rejoiced in the works of their own hands
The practice in the wilderness, tyre and Jerusalem
Acts 7:42 Then God turned,
and gave them up to worship the HOST of heaven;
as it is written in the book of the prophets,
O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices
by the space of forty years in the wilderness?
Amos 5:27 Therefore will I cause you to go into
captivity beyond Damascus,
saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.
Acts 7:43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch,
and the star of your god Remphan,
figures which ye made to worship them:
and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

Mike Cope: I heard very little about the Holy Spirit or the Trinity growing up. Like Alexander Campbell himself,
many of us were afraid that a focus on the Spirit would lead to emotional excesses.
Most people heard a lot: close to no one ever thought of HOLY SPIRIT as another god person REQUIRED to enable the One God the Father. The only "god" identified as a SPIRIT was Apollon or Abaddon the leader of the LOCUSTS or MUSES.
That's called psychological violence: claiming to be superior to some of the greatest scholars. No one who has read the bible BY PERMISSION OF JESUS could ever think that Holy Spirit (Pure Breath) was a person: After Jesus certified the PROPHETS so that A Church of Christ is built upon or EDUCATED by the Prophets and Apostles:
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.

X. the Word or Wisdom of God, personified as his agent in creation and world-government
Tertullian an inventor of trias c. ad 206: But, first, I shall discuss His essential nature, and so the nature of His birth will be understood. We have already asserted that
God made the world, and all which it contains,
by His Word, and Reason, and Power.
It is abundantly plain that your philosophers, too,
regard the Logos-that is, the Word and Reason-
as the Creator of the universe.
And we, in like manner, hold that the Word, and Reason, and Power,
by which we have said God made all,
have SPIRIT as their proper and essential
substratum, in which
the Word has in being to give forth UTTERENCES,
.......and REASON abides to dispose and arrange,
......and POWER is over all to execute.
We have been taught that
He (reason) proceeds forth from God,
and in that PROCESSION He is GENERATED;
so that He is the SON of God,
and is called God from unity of substance with God.
For God, too, is a Spirit.
Even when the RAY is shot from the sun,
..........it is still part of the parent mass; the sun will still be in the
ray, because it is a ray of the sun-
..........there is no division of substance,
but merely an extension.
Thus Christ is Spirit OF Spirit, and God OF God, as light OF light is kindled. [Jesus: My WORDS are SPIRIT and LIFE
The material matrix remains entire and unimpaired,
though you DERIVE from it any number of shoots possessed of its qualities;
so, too, that which has come forth out of God
is at once God and the Son of God, and the two are one. In this way also, as He is Spirit of Spirit and God of God,
He [SPIRIT] is made a second in manner of existence-in position, not in nature; and He did not withdraw from the original source,
but went forth.
This ray of God, then, as it was always foretold in ancient times, descending into a certain virgin, and made FLESH in her womb,
..........is in His birth God and man united.Campbell, Thomax, Trinity The relationship of Word to God was the same as the relationship of a word to a thought.
And so this is the most common understanding among the church fathers. The the word is the SON of the speaker as FATHER then there is ot problem trying to sort out how a LITERAL son of god could be equal with the Father or of the same age.1st. A word is a sign or representative of a thought or an idea,
and is the idea in an audible or visible form.
It is the exact image of that invisible thought
which is a perfect secret to all the world until it is expressed.2d. All men think or form ideas by means of words or images; so that no man can think without words or symbols of some sort.
3d. Hence it follows that the word and the idea which it represents,
are co-etaneous, or of the same age or antiquity.
.......
.It is true the word may not be uttered or born
for years or ages after the idea exists,
........but still the word is just as old as the idea.4th. The idea and the word are nevertheless distinct from each other, though the relation between them is the nearest known on earth.
........An idea cannot exist without a word,
nor a word without an idea.5th. He that is acquainted with the WORD, is acquainted with the
IDEA,
for the idea is wholly in the word.By putting together the above remarks on the term word,
we have a full view of what John intended to communicate.
As a word is an exact IMAGE of an IDEA,
so is "The WORD" an exact image of the invisible God.As a WORD cannot exist without an idea, nor an idea without a word,
so God never was without "The Word,"
nor "The Word" without God;or as a word is of equal age, or co-etaneous with its idea,
so "The Word" and God are co-eternal.And as an idea does not create its word nor a word its idea; so God did not create "The Word," nor the "Word" God.
Mike Cope: However, the New Testament is full of references to the ministry of the Spirit. (The Greek word “pneuma” appears over 350 times!)
BUT NEVER OF A PERSON. OF is a preposition and it is a MARK that the SCHOLARS cannot ever understand that the Spirit OF Christ is HIS OWN SPIRIT. Baptism gives one A holy spirit or A good conscience.
pneuma , (pneō) LITERALLY: A. blast, wind, first in Anaximen.
as an element, air, Corp.Herm.1.9, 16; “to p. to peri tēn psukhēn” Plot.2.2.2, cf. Porph.Sent.29.
9. And God-the-Mind, being male and female both, as Light and Life subsisting, brought forth another Mind to give things form, who, God as he was of Fire and Spirit, formed Seven Rulers who enclose the cosmos that the sense perceives. Men call their ruling Fate.
10. Straightway from out the downward elements God's Reason (Logos) leaped up to Nature's pure formation, and was at-oned with the Formative Mind; for it was co-essential with it. And Nature's downward elements were thus left reason-less, so as to be pure matter.
11. Then the Formative Mind ([at-oned] with Reason), he who surrounds the spheres and spins them with his whorl, set turning his formations, and let them turn from a beginning boundless unto an endless end. For that the circulation of these [spheres] begins where it doth end, as Mind doth will.

HH 3 185 O Lord, Lycia is yours and lovely Maeonia [180] and Miletus, charming city by the sea, but over wave-girt Delos you greatly reign your own self. Leto's all-glorious son goes to rocky Pytho, playing upon his hollow lyre, clad in divine, perfumed garments; and his lyre, [185] at the touch of the golden key, sings sweet. Thence, swift as thought, he speeds from earth to Olympus, to the house of Zeus, to join the gathering of the other gods: then straightway the undying gods think only of the lyre and song, and all the Muses together, voice sweetly answering voice, [190] hymn the unending gifts the gods enjoy and the sufferings of men, all that they endure at the hands of the deathless gods, and how they live witless and helpless and cannot find healing for death or defence against old age.
[200] Among them sport Ares and the keen-eyed Slayer of Argus, while Apollo plays his lyre stepping high and featly and a radiance shines around him, the gleaming of his feet and close-woven vest. And they, [205] even gold-tressed Leto and wise Zeus, rejoice in their great hearts as they watch their dear son playing among the undying gods.

Mike Cope: This Spirit is the Paraclete whom Jesus promised when he said it was better for us that he leave following his resurrection. The Spirit is the moving force behind the witnessing of the early church in Acts. And the Holy Spirit is the power behind the transformation that Paul expects of those who have been baptized into Jesus.

Mike Cope: God’s Spirit is, in the images of scripture itself, the wind that blows new life into God’s people, the river that flows from the relationship of the Trinity, and the fire that empowers and emboldens Christ- followers. We are both individually and collectively “the temple of the Holy Spirit.”
Speaking is restricted to the elders to TEACH THAT WHICH HAS BEEN TAUGHT. Ephesians 5 Speaks with being filled with the SPIRIT and in Colossians 3 using the WORD OF CHRIST.
Ephesians 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.
Ephesians 5:7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
Ephesians 5: 8 FOR ye were sometimes darkness,
BUT now are ye light in the Lord:
walk as children of light:
Ephesians 5:9 (For the fruit of the Spirit
is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
Ephesians 5:10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
Ephesians 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,
BUT rather reprove them.
Ephesians 5:12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
Ephesians 5:13 BUT all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light:
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
Ephesians 5:14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest,
and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
Ephesians 5:15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools,
BUT as wise,
Ephesians 5:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Ephesians 5:17 Wherefore be YE not unwise,
BUT YE understanding what the will [WORD] of the Lord is.
Ephesians 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess;
BUT YE be filled with the Spirit;
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.
Col. 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom;
teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs
Ephesians 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
Col 3:16 Teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs
[BUT you] singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;"Since being filled with the Spirit and letting the Word of Christ dwell within both produce the same results, a spirit-filled Christian is one in whom the Word of Christ dwells. A Spirit-filled Christian is a Christ-conscious Christian. A Spirit-filled Christian is consumed with learning everything he or she can about Jesus and obeying everything that Jesus said. That is what it means to 'let the word of Christ richly dwell within you.' To be filled with the Spirit is to be totally and richly involved in all there is to know about Jesus Christ." (MacArthur, John, Charismatic Chaos, p. 259, Zondervan).
"When we think of filling, we usually picture a container into which something is poured or shoveled until it is full. That is not what Paul had in mind here. Paul was not speaking of being filled up; he had in mind the idea of being filled out through, or permeated by the Holy Spirit's influence.
"We often speak of being filled with anger or filled with joy. We mean that they are totally under the control of those things. That is what Paul had in mind, we are to be utterly controlled by the Holy Spirit." (MacArthur, John, Charismatic Chaos, p. 259, Zondervan).
"'Be filled' (plerosthe) is present imperative, not aorist, and means 'continue to be filled.' It challenges Christians to continue to persevere, in a present reality.'" (Is the Holy Spirit for Me, Harvey Floyd, p. 86)
"In all types of Gnosticism the highest goal of the spiritual life is the obtaining of divine substance for oneself. The Christian faith distinguishes itself from this seemingly devout but actually selfish piety by locating the focus of Christian life not in the accumulating of spirituality or spirit for oneself, but more mundanely, in giving oneself to the neighbor. In Gnosticism the goal of spiritual life is the emptying of oneself in order to be filled with divine substance--it is vertical; in the Christian faith the goal is the emptying of oneself for the human neighbor--it is horizontal. This difference of directions in energy determines the difference in types of evidence. Special 'spiritual experience' (gnosis 'puffs up,' but Christian love 'builds up' (1 Cor. 8:1b)." (Bruner, p. 275)
Mike Cope: It’s going to be quite an adventure—thinking and praying through the theme “The Spirit-Filled People of God.” Following a Prayer School led by Brian Zahnd, we will open the theme on May 1 with Rick Atchley speaking about his experience of walking with the Spirit and close on May 4 with Dan Rodriguez challenging us to be open to the fresh leading of God’s Spirit in mission.
