One God, One Mediator the MAN Christ Jesus. Jesus
defined "trinity" as Blasphemy and John defined it as Antichrist.
No historical trinitarian ever thought that God consisted of
three, separated "persons" as a family. There is only One
God, the Father in heaven. And there is One Son, Jesus of Nazareth
Whom God has made to be both Lord and Christ. That means
that there is only One Divine Being or God. There is only
one Mediator, the MAN Christ Jesus Christ. This is a growing list
and not all in order: you should expecially note that the epistles
written to the churches salutes in the name of God the One God in
Heaven, and Jesus of Nazareth whom God made to be both Lord of
Christ: True Christians are Monotheists.
THIS IS A GROWING LIST OF PASSAGES WHICH PROVE THAT THERE IS ONLY
ONE GOD: THERE CANNOT BE THREE ALMIGHTIES.
NEWLY ADDED AND NOT IN BOOK ORDER YET.
C. Leonard Allen Spirit Poured
out. Johns
statement that the Spirit rested or remained (John 1:32 on him suggests
that Jesus here
entered a new dimension of his relationship with the
Spirit, and a new stage in his life and
ministry.
John understood:
John 1:30 This is he
of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is
preferred before me: for he was before me.
John 1:31 And I knew him not:
but that he should be made
manifest to Israel,
therefore am I come
baptizing with water.
John 1:34 And I saw, and bare record that this is
the Son of God.
Matt. 3:16 And
Jesus, when he was baptized, went up
straightway out of the water:
and, lo, the heavens
were opened unto him,
and he saw the
SPIRIT
of God descending like a dove,
and lighting upon him:
Matt. 3:17 And lo a VOICE from heaven, saying,
This is my beloved Son,
in whom I am well pleased.
CLICK
THE DOVE AS PARABLE.
The dove, the chosen symbol of this deified queen,
is commonly represented with an olive branch in her mouth
(Fig 25),
When the goddess was thus represented as the
Dove with the olive branch, there can be no doubt that the symbol had
partly reference to the story of the flood; but there was
much more in the symbol than a mere memorial of that great
event. "A branch," as has been already proved, was the symbol
of the deified son, and when the deified mother was represented
as a Dove, what could the meaning of this
representation be but just to identify her with the
Spirit of all grace, that brooded, dove-like, over
the deep at the creation; for in the sculptures at
Nineveh, as we have seen, the wings and tail of the dove
represented the third member of the idolatrous Assyrian trinity. In confirmation of this view, it must be
stated that the Assyrian
"Juno, "The Virgin Venus,"
as she was called, was identified with the air. Thus
Julius Firmicus says: "The Assyrians and part of the
Africans wish the air to have the supremacy of the elements, for they have consecrated this same [element]
under the name of Juno, or the Virgin Venus." Why was air thus identified with Juno, whose symbol was that of the third person of the Assyrian trinity? Hislop 23

No literal Dove
as the mark of the MATRIARCHAL system on top of
Jesus. It never went INSIDE. The Jews and
Allen says that Jesus WAS GOD IN THE FLESH. Why would
God need a
spirit person. on top of Him.
Jesus
fulfilled the prophecy of baptism in
Isaiah 1. After His baptism He
was given the gift of A holy
spirit or A good
conscience or conscience to

John
10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father
hath SANCTIFIED,
[g37 hagizo from 40 make
ceremonially purified or sanctified]
and
sent into the world,
Thou BLASPHEMEST;
because I said, I am the Son of God?
John 5:20 For the Father loveth the Son,
and SHEWED him ALL
things that himself doeth:
and he will shew him
greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
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 puts His WORDS into the MOUTH of A Moses, the Prophets and
LASTLY the Man Jesus of Nazareth. That is the meaning of
SPIRIT.
John 8:38 I speak that which I have SEEN with my
Father:
and ye DO
that which ye have seen with your father.

(compare 3700), i.e. (by implication) to discern clearly
(physically or mentally); by extension, to attend to; by
Hebraism, to experience; passively, to appear: behold,
perceive, see, take heed.
John 5:21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead,
and quickeneth them;
even so the Son quickeneth
whom he will.
John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man,
but hath committed all
judgment unto the Son:
John 5:23 That all men
should honour the SON,
even as they honour the
Father.
He that honoureth NOT the SON
honoureth not the
Father which hath sent him.
John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that HEARETH my
word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life,
and shall not come into
condemnation;
but is passed from
death unto life.
The MARK or SEAL that one can hear the
Word hidden in parables from the foundation of the world.
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.
MARK: The Word or Logos outlaws personal opinions or
experiences, rhetoric, singing, playing instruments or any
works of human hands. That is because. the Kingdom does not
come with religious OBSERVATION but IN SPIRIT as a place:
Col. 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness,
and hath translated us
into the kingdom of his dear Son
Gal. 3:3 Are ye so foolish?
having begun IN the
Spirit,
are ye now made perfect
BY the FLESH?
Heb. 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the
firstborn, [Church of Christ]
which are written in
heaven, and to God the Judge of all,
and to the SPIRITS
OF just men made PERFECT,
John 5:25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour
is coming, and now is,
when the dead shall hear
the voice of the SON OF GOD:
and they THAT hear
shall live.
John 5:26 For as the Father hath LIFE IN HIMSELF;
so hath he given to the Son
to have life in himself;
John 5:27 And hath GIVEN him authority to execute
judgment also,
BECAUSE he is the
SON OF MAN
PROVEN WITHOUT DOUBT TO THOSE WHO CAN HEAR.

Jesus was in the IMAGE or FORMA of God:
2Cor. 8:9 For ye know the grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ,
that, though he was RICH,
yet for your sakes he became poor,
that ye through his poverty might be
rich.
Rom. 1:5 By whom we have received grace and
apostleship,
for obedience to the
faith among all nations, for his name:
Rom. 1:6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
Rom. 1:7 To all that be in Rome,
beloved of God [Theos],
called to be saints:
Grace to you and peace
from God [Theos] our Father,
AND the
Lord [Kurios] Jesus Christ.
Jesus was born 30 years before God MADE HIM to be both Lord and
Christ neither of which are "god" words.
Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly,
that
God hath made that same Jesus,
whom ye

They are two........ one greater than the other
(Jn.14:28), one more knowledgeable than the other (Mt.24:36),
one worshipped by and feared by the other (Heb.5:1-8), one
sanctified and sent into the world by the other (Jn.10:36), as
said the Spirit of Christ through the prophet, "Then said I, Lo,
I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me) to do Thy
will, O God" (Ps.40:6-9). One was the Husbandman; the other was
the Vine (Jn.15:1). One was teacher; the other was taught
(Jn.8:40). One was, and is, kept alive by the other (Jn.5:26;
6:57). In all things, the Son is subservient to the Father, for,
though all power in heaven and in earth has been given to the
Son, it is obvious that He who gave the Son that power did not
submit Himself to him (1Cor.15:27-28). Every knee shall bow
(Phip.2:10), except the knee of the Father. He will not bow to
His own Son. Quite the contrary, for in the end, "shall the Son
also himself be subject unto Him that put all things under him,
that God may be all in all."

Person. there is ONE GOD and Jesus

In a literal sense there is:
One God the Father
One Lord the Son
who as man mediates.
I have collected several passages which prove this two-fold
relationship.
Is. 49:4 Then I said, I have laboured in
vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain:
yet
surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work with my God.
Is. 49:5 And now, saith the LORD
that formed me from the womb
to be his servant, to
bring Jacob again to him,
Though
Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the
eyes of the LORD,
and my
God shall be my strength.
Notice the two GROUPS
which is always the meaning of PREDESTINATED purpose.
And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my
servant to raise
up the tribes of Jacob,
........[1] and to restore the preserved of Israel:
........[2] I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles,
........[3] that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth. Isa 49:6
Which
predestinated purpose:
Ephesians
1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of
times
he might gather
together in one all things in Christ,
both which are in heaven, and which
are on earth; even in him:
The Iraelites SPLIT OFF from the
Gentiles when they ignored the direct command of God to
become a blessing. Instead they decided to murder
all of the Gentiles.
Therefore, God ALWAYS purposed that through Abraham people
would be one people.
Salvation is Yeshuwah!
God chooses those who DO NOT repudiate Him by THEIR OWN
SINS.
Thus saith the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One,
to him whom man despiseth,
to him whom the nation abhorreth,
to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and
arise, princes also shall worship,
because of the Lord that is faithful, and the
Holy One of Israel,
and he shall choose thee. Isa 49:7
H977 bβchar baw-khar' A primitive root; properly to try, that

In an econominal sense there is:
Father or Thought
in all classicall trinities.
Spirit or Breath
spirit or breath is what passes between Father and Son.
Son or articulated Word
Psalms 33:4 For the [1] word of the [2] LORD is right; and all his works are
done in [3]
truth.
Psalms 33:5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is
full of the goodness of the LORD.
Psalms 33:6 By the [1] word
of the [2]
LORD were the
heavens made;
and all the host of them
by the [3]
breath of his mouth.
Psalms 33:7 He gathereth the waters of the sea
together as an heap:
he layeth
up the depth in storehouses.
Psalms 33:8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all
the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
Psalms 33:9 For he spake, and it was done; he
commanded, and it stood fast.
Psalms 33:10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to
nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
Psalms 33:13 The LORD looketh from heaven; he
beholdeth all the sons of men.
Psalms 33:14 From the place of his habitation he
looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
Psalms 33:15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he
considereth all their works.
Psalms 33:16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an
host:
a mighty man is not
delivered by much strength.
Psalms 33:17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither
shall he deliver any by his great strength.
Psalms 33:18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them
that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
Psalms 33:19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep
them alive in famine.
Psalms 33:20 Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and
our shield.
Psalms 33:21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we
have trusted in his holy name.
Psalms 33:22 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as
we hope in thee.
As many concepts were personified, Our thought is different from
our breath is different from our spoken word. We sent out
our breath and it is not part of us: it conveys invisible but
powerful information like the wind. The breath ceases when
we articulate the breath into words.
Yet, there are not three Gods or separated beings.
Matt. 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my
Father:
and no man knoweth the
Son, but the Father;
neither knoweth any man the
Father, save the Son,
and he to whomsoever the Son
will reveal him.
Matt. 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name
of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost:
Peter understood this to mean:
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them,
Repent, and be baptized
every one of you
in the name of Jesus
Christ for the remission of sins,
and ye shall receive the
gift of the A Holy Ghost.
Mark 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man,
no, not the angels which are
in heaven,
neither the Son,
but the Father.
Luke 10:22 All things are delivered to me of my Father:
and no man knoweth who the
Son is, but the Father;
and who the Father is, but
the Son,
and he to whom the Son
will reveal him.
The Spirit of Christ speaks ONLY through the Prophets and
the prophecies made more perfect when fulfilled by Jesus
of Nazareth Whom God made to be both Lord and Christ. Some of the
writings of Moses are prophetic but the foundation upon which the
Church is built begins with Samuel.
Deuteronomy 18:15 The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet
from the midst of thee,
of thy brethren, like
unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
Deuteronomy 18:16 According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD
thy God in Horeb
in the day of the assembly,
saying,
Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD
my God,
neither let me see this great fire any more,
that I die not.
Deuteronomy 18:17 And the LORD said unto me,
They have well spoken that
which they have spoken.
Deuteronomy 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.
Deuteronomy 18:19 And it shall come to pass,
that whosoever will not
hearken unto my words
which he shall speak
in my name, I will require it of him.
"Prophesying" in the good sense was speaking the actual words of
Christ in the prophets who could say 'thus saith the Lord."
Deuteronomy 18:20 But the prophet,
which shall presume to speak
a word in my name,
which I have not
commanded him to speak,
or that shall speak in the
name of other gods,
even that prophet shall die.
Jesus was this prophet:
Luke 24:19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto
him,
Concerning Jesus of
Nazareth,
which WAS a prophet
mighty in deed and word
before God and all the
people:
Luke 24:20 And how the chief priests and our rulers
delivered him to be
condemned to death,
and have crucified him.
Luke 24:21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed
Israel
beside all this, to
day is the third day since these things were done.
John Agreed:
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.
John 1:15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying,
This was he of whom I spake,
He that cometh after me is preferred
before me:
for he was before me. [As
the WORD of God]
John 1:16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for
grace.
John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses,
but grace and truth came
by Jesus Christ.
John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten
Son,
which is in the bosom of
the Father, he hath declared him.
John 1:45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him,
We have found him,
of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write,
Jesus of Nazareth, the son
of Joseph.
John 1:48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me?
Jesus answered and said unto
him, Before that Philip called thee,
when thou wast under the
fig tree, I saw thee.
John 1:49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi,
thou art the Son of
God; thou art the King of Israel.
John 1:50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto
thee, I saw thee under the fig tree,
believest thou?
thou shalt see greater
things than these.
John 1:51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Hereafter ye shall see
heaven open,
and the angels of God
ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
Historic Trinitians speak of Thought, Breath and Articulated
Words.
John 3:35 The Father loveth the Son,
and hath given all
things into his hand.
John 4:21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me,
the hour cometh, when ye
shall neither in this mountain,
nor yet at Jerusalem,
worship the Father.
John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is,
when the true worshippers
shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth:
for the Father seeketh such
to worship him
John 5:36 But I have greater witness than that of John:
for the works which the
Father hath given me to finish,
the same works that I do,
bear witness of me,
that the Father hath
sent me.

Peter identified the prophecies by Christ
and the prophecies made more perfect as the resource which
would cause the Day Star to arise in our hearts. The church is
built upon the teachings left by the prophets and apostles. (
2 Peter
Chapter One). He said that they were not
subject to private interpretation of further expounding.
In 2 Peter Chapter Two he said that if they did not speak
accorting to the left "memory" they were false teachers as
there had been false prophets. Therefore, when the
Apostles finished their eye-- and Ear-- witness of the Risen
Jesus Christ there would be no further revelation.

you,

John 5:46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me:
for he wrote of me.
John 5:47 But if ye believe not his writings,
how shall ye believe my
words?

The Father through the Spirit of Christ breathed His Thoughts on

body of the sins of the flesh
by the circumcision of
Christ:

ye are risen
with him through the faith
of the operation of God,

hath he quickened
together with him, having forgiven you all
trespasses;

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.

me,
the works that I do shall he
do also; and greater works than these shall he do;
because I go unto my
Father.

you for ever;

whom the world
cannot receive,

with you, and shall be in you.

you.

things, and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto
you. [Christ in Spirit form]
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 [parakletos]
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.

of prophecy.

us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

them;

that thou hast sent me,
and hast loved them, as thou
hast loved me.

God's work is TEACHING, OUR work is believing what we are

Father, cometh unto me.

Throughout the New Testament and especially in the Epistles as
each writer completed his part, the term "The Holy Spirit" almost
dissappears and the two-fold relationship of "persons" is
universal in the salutations:
Now, Paul's and
other writers' salutations in the following epistles:
- God the Father in Heaven
- Jesus made to be both Lord and Christ to be the one
mediator between man and God.

Acts 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words;
Jesus of Nazareth,
a man approved
of God among you by miracles and wonders and
signs,
which God did BY him in
the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
Acts 10:38 How God anointed
Jesus of Nazareth with
the Holy Ghost and with power:
who went about doing good,
and healing all that were oppressed of the devil;
for God was with him.
Acts 2:23 Him, being delivered by the
determinate counsel and
foreknowledge of God,
ye have taken, and by wicked
hands have crucified and slain:
Acts 2:24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains
of death:
because it was not possible
that he should be holden of it.
Acts 2:25 For David speaketh concerning him,
I foresaw the Lord always
before my face,
for he is on my right hand,
that I should not be moved:
Acts 2:26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad;
moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
Acts 2:27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell,
neither wilt thou suffer
thine Holy One to see corruption.
Acts 2:28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life;
thou shalt make me full of
joy with thy countenance.
Acts 2:29 Men and brethren,
let me freely speak unto you
of the patriarch David,
that he is both dead and buried,
and his sepulchre is
with us unto this day.
Acts 2:30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God
had sworn with an oath to him,
that of the fruit of his
loins, according to the flesh,
he would raise up Christ
to sit on his throne;
Acts 2:31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection
of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell,
neither his flesh did see
corruption.
Acts 2:32 This Jesus
hath God raised up,
whereof we all are witnesses.
Acts 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted,
and having received of the
Father the promise of the Holy Ghost,
he hath shed forth
this, which ye now see and hear.
Acts 2:34 For David is not ascended into
the heavens:
but he saith himself, 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 hath
made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified,
both Lord and Christ.
1Corinthians 1:30

who of God is
made unto us wisdom, and righteousness,
and sanctification,
and redemption:
1Corinthians 1:31 that, according as it is written,
He that glorieth, let
him glory in the Lord.
Alexander Campbell and others
understand that A holy spirit is OUR unholy
spirit which has been cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ
and not His "spirit."

"This is...understood by every
attentive reader. The original phrase is hagiasmos
pneumatos, and is found only in II. Thess. ii.
13; I. Pet. i. 2. In both places it appears to refer to the
sanctification of the spirit of believers. It
is literally rendered "sanctification [or holiness] of
spirit." There is no article in the original and no
epithet that suggests the Holy Spirit in either
passage.
God has chosen men to
salvation through (or by) holiness of spirit;
not through the
holiness of his Spirit,
but through the
holiness of their spirit.
When Jesus prayed (John xvii.) for the sanctification or holiness
of
his disciples,
it was through
the truth: "Sanctify them through the truth;
thy word is truth."
The belief of the truth is, therefore, by Paul
associated with this holiness or sanctification of
spirit.
The Spirit of God is frequently denominated in these days, "the
Sanctifier." Let it be granted that it is the
Spirit that sanctifies or sets apart men to God, still it
must be argued from the Record
that he sanctifies
them only through the truth or gospel believed.
A sanctified unbeliever is inconceivable;
and, as "without
holiness [or sanctification of spirit] no man can see the
Lord;
so, without faith,
there can be no holiness, and no action acceptable to
God.
All persons sanctified to God to any
high office or function, were anointed, and thus
consecrated to his special service. So all Christians, being
priests,
are
anointed or sanctified by the Holy Spirit
[135] through the
obedience of the truth,
and sprinkling of the
blood of Jesus,
cleansing their
consciences from dead works to serve the living God."
Jesus of Nazareth was killed, was resurrected, was changed into
His post-resurrection state and returned on the day of
Pentecost.
Our spirit came from God and goes back to God:
Acts 7:59 And they stoned
Stephen,
calling upon God,
and saying, Lord Jesus,
receive my spirit.
Luke 23:46 And when Jesus had
cried with a loud voice,
he said, Father, into
thy hands I commend my spirit:
and having said thus, he
gave up the ghost.
Of the Comforter and Spirit OF
Truth we know that His name is still Jesus of
Nazareth. This Spirit or mental disposition of truth does
not speak on its own: the Spirit OF Christ
will speak to appointed apostles spirit to spiritl.
John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth,
is come,
he will guide you into all
truth:
for he shall not
speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear,
that shall he speak: and
he will shew you things to come.
Matthew 17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his
face did shine as the sun,
and his raiment was white
as the light.
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.

Rom.
1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be
an apostle,
separated unto the gospel
of God,
Rom. 1:2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in
the holy scriptures,)
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:
Luke 20:35 But they which shall be accounted worthy
to obtain that world,
and the resurrection
from the dead,
neither marry, nor
are given in marriage:
Luke 20:36 Neither can they die any more:
for they are equal
unto the angels;
and are the children
of God,
being the
children of the resurrection.
Rom. 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed;
because the love of God
is shed abroad in our hearts
by the Holy Ghost
which is given unto us.
Romans 7:17 Now then it is no more I
that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Romans 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,)
dwelleth no good
thing: for to will is present with me;
but how to perform
that which is good I find not.
Romans 7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil
which I would not, that I do.
Romans 7:20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I
that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Romans 7:21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good,
evil is present with me.
Romans 7:22 For I delight in the law of God after the
inward man:
Romans 7:23 But I see another law in my members,
warring against the law
of my mind,
and bringing me into
captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
Romans 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me
from the body of this death?
Romans 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
So then with the
[my] mind I myself serve the law of God;
but with the
[my] flesh the law of sin.
Romans 1:9 For God is my
witness,
whom I serve with my
spirit in the gospel of his Son,
that without ceasing
I make mention of you always in my prayers;
Rom. 9:1 I say the truth
in Christ, I lie not,
my
conscience also bearing me witness
in my Holy
Ghost,
Rom. 14:17 For the kingdom of God
is not meat and drink; [our body]
but righteousness,
and peace,
and joy in the Holy
Ghost. [our spirit made holy]
Which means:
Rom. 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy
and peace in believing,
that ye may abound in
hope,
through the power of
the Holy Ghost.
Rom. 15:16 That I should be the minister of Jesus
Christ to the Gentiles,
ministering the gospel
of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles
might be acceptable,
being sanctified
by the Holy Ghost.
Romans 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,
Romans 16:26 But now is made manifest,
and by the scriptures
of the prophets,
according to the commandment
of the everlasting God,
made known to all
nations for the obedience of faith:
Romans 16:27 To God only wise, [There is only one God Being]
be glory through Jesus
Christ for ever. [Made to be
both Lord and Christ]
Written to the Romans
from Corinthus,
and sent by Phebe
servant of the church at Cenchrea.
1Cor. 1:1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ
through the will
of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
1Cor. 1:2 Unto the church of God which is at
Corinth,
to them that are sanctified
in Christ Jesus, called to be saints,
with all that in every
place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord,
both theirs and ours:
1Cor. 1:3 Grace be unto you, and peace,
from God our
Father,
and from the Lord
Jesus Christ.
1Cor. 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words
which mans wisdom teacheth,
but which the Holy
Ghost teacheth;
comparing spiritual
things with spiritual.
1Cor. 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of
the Holy Ghost which is in you,
which ye have of God,
and ye are not your own?
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. 4:1 Let a man so account of us,
as of the ministers
of Christ,
and stewards of the mysteries
of
God.
1Cor. 4:4 For I know nothing by myself;
yet am I not hereby
justified:
but he that judgeth me
is the Lord.
1Cor. 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time,
until the Lord come,
who both will bring to light the
hidden things of darkness,
and will make manifest
the counsels of the hearts:
and then shall every
man have praise of God.
1Cor. 8:5 For though there be that are called gods,
whether in heaven or
in earth,
(as there be gods
many, and lords many,)
1Cor. 8:6 But to us
there is but ONE
GOD, the Father, OF whom are all things, and
we in him;
and ONE LORD
Jesus Christ, BY whom are all things, and we by him
1Corinthians 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead.
It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
1Corinthians 15:43 It is sown in
dishonour; it is raised in glory:
it is sown in weakness; it is raised in
power:
1Corinthians 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.
1Corinthians 15:45 And so it is
written,
The first man Adam was made a living soul;
the last Adam was made a quickening
spirit.
1Corinthians 15:46 Howbeit that was not
first which is spiritual, but that which is natural;
and afterward that which is spiritual.
1Corinthians 15:47 The first man is of
the earth, earthy:
the second man is the Lord from heaven.
1Corinthians 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.
1Corinthians 15:49 And as we have borne
the image of the earthy,
we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
1Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say,
brethren,
that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God;
neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
1Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a
mystery;
We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the
twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:
for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible,
and
we shall be changed.
1Corinthians 15:53 For this corruptible
must put on incorruption,
and this mortal must put on immortality.
1Corinthians 15:54 So when this
corruptible shall have put on incorruption,
and this mortal shall have put on immortality,
then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written,
Death is swallowed up in victory.
2Cor. 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the
will of God, and Timothy our brother,
unto the church of
God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are
in all Achaia:
2Cor. 1:2 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father,
and from the Lord
Jesus Christ.
2Cor. 1:3 Blessed be God, even the Father
of our Lord Jesus
Christ,
the Father of
mercies, and the God of all comfort;
2Cor. 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are
lost:
2Cor. 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds
of them which believe not,
lest the light of the
glorious gospel of Christ
who
is
the image of God, should shine unto them.
2Cor. 4:5 For we preach not ourselves,
but Christ Jesus the
Lord;
and ourselves your
servants for Jesus sake.
2Cor. 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine
out of darkness,
hath shined in our
hearts,
to give the light of the
knowledge of the glory of God
in the face of
Jesus Christ.
2Cor. 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels,
that the excellency of
the power may be of God, and not of us.
2Cor. 6:4 But in all things approving ourselves as
the ministers of God,
in much patience,
in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
2Cor. 6:5 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in
labours, in watchings, in fastings;
2Cor. 6:6 By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering,
by kindness,
by the Holy Ghost,
by love unfeigned,
All of these are qualities of a Christian; A Christian has
A holy spirit. A Holy Spirit is compared to A pure
spirit.
2Cor. 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ,
and the love
of God,
and the communion
of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.

Hushed grew the sky, and still hung each leaf
throughout the grassy glen, nor couldst thou have
heard one creature cry. But they, not sure of the
voice they heard, sprang up and peered all round; then
once again his bidding came; and when the daughters of
Cadmus knew it was the Bacchic god in very truth that called, swift as
doves they dirted off in cager haste,
his mother Agave and
her sisters dear and all the Bacchanals; through

all to no purpose. For there he sat beyond the reach
of their hot endeavours, a helpless, hopeless victim.
At last they rent off limbs from oaks and were for
prising up the roots with levers not of iron. But when

The Holy Spirit was Jesus of Nazareth who now lives in His
post-resurrected Spiritual body. It was Jesus fufilling His
promise to return to be with them in Spirit and not in
Flesh.
Acts 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted,
and having received of the
Father the promise of the Holy Ghost,
he
hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

Why do the nations
rage
and the peoples plot in
vain?
LOOK BACK AT CHAPTER TWO TO UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE WANTED TO
BE BAPTIZED
Acts 2:25 For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw
the Lord always before my face,
for he is on my right
hand, that I should not be moved:
Acts 2:26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was
glad;
moreover also my flesh
shall rest in hope:
Acts 2:27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell,
neither wilt thou
suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Acts 2:28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life;
thou shalt make me full of
joy with thy countenance.
Acts 2:29 Men and brethren,
let me freely speak unto
you of the patriarch David,
that he is both dead and
buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
The promise by the Spirit OF Christ was:
Acts 2:30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that
God had sworn with an oath to him,
that of the fruit of his
loins, according to the flesh,
he
would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
Acts 2:31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of
Christ,
that his soul was
not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
Acts 2:32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof
we all are witnesses.
The prophets spoke by Christ and had no more
personal power than David:
1Peter 1:10 Of which salvation the prophets have
inquired and searched diligently,
who prophesied of the
grace that should come unto you:
1Peter 1:11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit
of Christ which was in them did signify,
when it testified
beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the
glory that should follow.
Jesus received that promise when He returned to the Giver and
was changed into the Holy (adjective) Spirit State still
called Jesus of Nazareth:
Acts 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted,
and
having received of the Father
the promise of the
Holy Ghost,
he hath shed forth
this, which ye now see and hear.
Acts 2:34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he
saith himself,
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 hath made
that same Jesus, whom ye
have crucified,
both Lord and Christ.
Acts 4:26 The kings of
the earth stood up,
and
the rulers were gathered
together against the Lord,
and
against his Christ.
Acts 4:27 For of a truth
against thy holy child Jesus,
whom thou hast anointed,
both Herod, and Pontius
Pilate, with the Gentiles,
and
the people of Israel, were gathered together,
Acts 4:28 For to do whatsoever thy hand
and thy counsel determined before to be done.
Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth
with the Holy
Ghost and with power:
who went about doing good,
and healing all that were oppressed of the devil;
for God was with him.
Acts 13:33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their
children,
in that he hath raised
up Jesus again;
as it is also written in
the second psalm,
Thou art my Son,
this
day have I begotten thee.
Acts 13:34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the
dead,
now no more to return
to corruption,
he said on this wise,
I will give you the sure
mercies of David.
This is the promise of the Holy Spirit of Christ which Jesus
would become.
For instance, Augustine
A
Treatise on Fath and the Creed wrote:
"The
following
text of the Apostles' Creed may be collected from this book
of St. Augustin, and was current in North Africa towards the
close of the fourth century:
1. I
Believe in God the Father Almighty. Chs. 2 and 3.
2. (And) In Jesus Christ,
the Son of God,
the Only-Begotten of
the Father,
or, His Only Son,
Our Lord. Ch. 3.
3. Who Was Born Through the Holy Spirit of the Virgin
Mary. Ch. 4 (§ 8.)
4. Who Under Pontius Pilate Was Crucified and Buried.
Ch. 5 (§ 11.)
5. On the Third Day He Rose Again from the Dead. Ch. 5
(§ 12.)
6. He Ascended into Heaven. Ch. 6 (§ 13.)
7. He Sitteth at the Right Hand of the Father. Ch. 7 (§

13. The Life Everlasting. Ch. 10 (§ 24.)]
"But
God,
when He begot the
Word,
begot that which
He is Himself.
"Neither
out of nothing, nor of any material already made and founded
did He then beget;
but He begot of
Himself that which He is Himself.
"God the
Father, on the other hand, who possessed both the will
and the power to declare Himself with the utmost
truth to minds designed to obtain knowledge of Him,
with the purpose of
thus declaring Himself begot this [Word]
which He Himself is
who did beget;
which [Person] is
likewise called His Power and Wisdom,
inasmuch as it is by
Him that He has wrought all things, and in order
disposed them;
of whom these words
are for this reason spoken:
"She (Wisdom)
reacheth from one end to another mightily,
and sweetly doth she
order all things. "
GOD MADE JESUS OF NAZARETH "TO BE" LORD,
CHRIST, POWER, WISDOM, GRACE, RIGHTEOUS, SANCTIFICATION,
REDEMPTION AND ALL THAT MAKES THE INVISIBLE, INAUDIBLE GOD
BOTH VISIBLE AND AUDIBLE.
Isaiah 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod
out of the stem of Jesse,
and a Branch shall
grow out of his roots:
Isaiah 11:2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon
him,
the spirit of wisdom
and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might,
the spirit of knowledge
and of the fear of the LORD;
Isaiah 11:3 And shall make him of quick understanding
in the fear of the LORD:
and he shall not
judge after the sight of his eyes,
neither reprove after the
hearing of his ears
AFTER THE MOUTH TO MOUTH REVELATION WAS COMPLETED BY JESUS THE
HOLY SPIRIT, THAT TERM ALMOST DISAPPEARS FROM THE EPISTLES.
That the God of
our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of glory, may give unto you the
spirit of wisdom and
[spirit of] revelation in the
[spirit of] knowledge of him: Ep.1:17
Phil. 1:1 Paul and Timotheus,
the servants of Jesus
Christ,
to all the saints
in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi,
with the bishops and
deacons:
Phil. 1:2 Grace be unto you, and peace,
from God our Father,
and from the Lord
Jesus Christ.
Col.
1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ
by the will of God,
and Timotheus our brother,
Col. 1:2 To the saints and faithful brethren
in Christ which are at
Colosse:
Grace be unto you, and
peace,
from God our Father
and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Col. 1:3 We give thanks to God and the Father
of our Lord Jesus
Christ, praying always for you,
Col. 1:4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus,
and of the love which ye have to all the saints,
1Cor. 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified,
unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto
the Greeks foolishness;
1Cor. 1:24 But
unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks,
Christ the power of God,
and the wisdom of God.
1Cor. 1:25
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men;
and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
1Cor. 1:26 For
ye see your calling, brethren,
how that not many wise men after the flesh,
not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
1Cor.
1:28 And base things of the world, and things which are
despised, hath God chosen,
yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that
are:
1Cor. 1:29
That no flesh should glory in his presence.
1Cor. 1:30 But
of him are ye in Christ Jesus,
who of God
is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness,
and sanctification,
and redemption:
1Cor. 1:31
That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him
glory in the Lord.
1Corinthians 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.
The prepositional phrase OF GOD proves that the
Holy Spirit IS God's own Spirit, mind or mental disposition and
not another person.
1Corinthians 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
1Corinthians 12:5 And there are differences of administrations,
but the same Lord.
1Corinthians 12:6 And there are diversities of operations, but
it is the same God which
worketh all in all.
1Corinthians 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is
given to every man to profit withal.
1Corinthians 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word
of wisdom;
to another the word of
knowledge by the same Spirit;
