When He was reviled, He reviled not; when He suffered, He uttered no threats against his tormentors; when He was denounced by his enemies, He simply committed himself to the righteous judgment of the Father in Heaven.&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;At one of the evening conferences, Andrew asked Jesus: "Master, are we to practice self-denial as John taught us, or are we to strive for the self-control of your teaching? Wherein does your teaching differ from that of John?" Jesus answered: "John indeed taught you the way of righteousness in accordance with the light and laws of his fathers, and that was the religion of self-examination and self-denial. But I come with a new message of self-forgetfulness and self-control. I show to you the way of Life as revealed to Me by my Father in Heaven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Verily, verily, I say to you, he who rules his own self is greater than he who captures a city. Self-mastery is the measure of man's moral nature and the indicator of his spiritual development. In the old order you fasted and prayed; as the new creature of the rebirth of the spirit, you are taught to believe and rejoice. In the Father's Kingdom [Family] you are to become new creatures; old things are to pass away; behold I show you how all things are to become new. And by your love for one another you are to convince the world that you have passed from bondage to liberty, from death into life everlasting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"By the old way you seek to suppress, obey, and conform to the rules of living; by the new way you are first TRANSFORMED by the Spirit of Truth and thereby strengthened in your inner soul by the constant spiritual renewing of your mind, and so are you endowed with the power of the certain and joyous performance of the gracious, acceptable, and perfect will of God. Forget not -- it is your personal faith in the exceedingly great and precious promises of God that ensures your becoming partakers of the divine nature. Thus by your faith and the Spirit's transformation, you become in reality the temples of God, and his Spirit actually dwells within you. If, then, the Spirit dwells within you, you are no longer bondslaves of the flesh but free and liberated sons of the Spirit. The new law of the Spirit endows you with the liberty of self-mastery in place of the old law of the fear of self-bondage and the slavery of self-denial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Many times, when you have done evil, you have thought to charge up your acts to the influence of the evil one; when in reality you have but been led astray by your own natural tendencies. Did not the Prophet Jeremiah long ago tell you that the human heart is deceitful above all things and sometimes even desperately wicked? How easy for you to become self-deceived and thereby fall into foolish fears, divers [many] lusts, enslaving pleasures, malice, envy, and even vengeful hatred!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Salvation is by the regeneration of the Spirit and not by the self-righteous deeds of the flesh. You are justified by faith and fellowshipped by grace, not by fear and the self-denial of the flesh, albeit the Father's children who have been born of the Spirit are ever and always MASTERS of the self and all that pertains to the desires of the flesh. When you know that you are saved by faith, you have real peace with God. [Amen ! Even the Paradise Peace of Jesus ! lavishly bestowed here upon all of his faith sons of God !] And all who follow in the way of this heavenly peace are destined to be sanctified to the eternal service of the ever-advancing sons of the eternal God. Henceforth, it is not a duty but rather your exalted privilege to cleanse yourselves from all evils of mind and body while you seek for perfection in the love of God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Your sonship is grounded in faith, and you are to remain unmoved by fear. Your joy is born of trust in the divine Word, [Jesus here as He the Spirit of All Truth !] and you shall not therefore be led to doubt the reality of the Father's love and mercy. It is the very goodness of God that leads men into true and genuine repentance. Your secret of the mastery of self is bound up with your faith in the indwelling Spirit, which ever works by love. Even this saving faith you have not of yourselves; it also is the Gift of God. And if you are the children of this living faith, you are no longer the bondslaves of self but rather the triumphant masters of yourselves, the liberated sons of God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If, then, My Children, you are born of the Spirit, you are forever delivered from the self-conscious bondage of a life of self-denial and watchcare over the desires of the flesh, and you are translated into the joyous Kingdom [Family of God in Jesus] of the spirit, whence you spontaneously show forth the fruits of the Spirit in your daily lives; and the fruits of the Spirit are the essence of the highest type of enjoyable and ennobling self-control, even the heights of terrestrial mortal attainment -- true self-mastery."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Our Sovereign Savior Jesus Christ Michael, later in his Ministry here, tells us the fruits of the Spirit to be:]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[page 2054, Jesus, in A.D. 30] "And the fruits of the divine Spirit which are yielded in the lives of Spirit-born and God-knowing mortals are: loving service, unselfish devotion, courageous loyalty, sincere fairness, enlightened honesty, undying hope, confiding trust, merciful ministry, unfailing goodness, forgiving tolerance, and enduring peace."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[When were you reBorn anew in Spirit? If not yet, when will you try again inliving faith ?

Please share this with all who desire deeper comprehensions of the One Paradise Trinity of Three Coordinate (equal) Divine Persons.  More on this will follow here soon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                                         THE PARADISE TRINITY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Paradise Trinity of eternal Deities facilitates the Father's escape from Personality absolutism. The Trinity perfectly associates the limitless expression of God's infinite Personal will with the absoluteness of Deity. The Eternal Son and the various Sons of divine origin, together with the Conjoint Actor [The Infinite Spirit] and his universe children, [our Holy Spirit Who is the  coordinate Creative Partner-Minister of our Maker-Master Jesus Christ]   effectively provide for the Father's liberation from the limitations otherwise inherent in primacy, perfection, changelessness, eternity, universality, absoluteness, and infinity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Paradise Trinity effectively provides for the full expression and perfect revelation of the eternal nature of Deity. The Stationary Sons of the Trinity likewise afford a full and perfect revelation of divine justice. The Trinity is Deity unity, and this unity rests eternally upon the absolute foundations of the divine oneness of the three original and co-ordinate and coexistent Personalities, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the present situation on the circle of eternity, looking backward into the endless past, we [high Paradise origin Sons of God] can discover only one inescapable inevitability in universe affairs, and that is the Paradise Trinity. I  deem the Trinity to have been inevitable. As I view the past, present, and future of time, I consider nothing else in all the universe of universes to have been inevitable. The present master universe, viewed in retrospect or in prospect, is unthinkable without the Trinity. Given the Paradise Trinity, we can postulate alternate or even multiple ways of doing all things, but without the Trinity of Father, Son, and Spirit we are unable to conceive how the Infinite could achieve threefold and co-ordinate Personalization in the face of the absolute oneness of Deity. No other concept of creation measures up to the Trinity standards of the completeness of the absoluteness inherent in Deity unity coupled with the repleteness of volitional liberation inherent in the threefold personalization of Deity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. SELF-DISTRIBUTION OF THE FIRST SOURCE AND CENTER&lt;br /&gt;[God the Primal and Final Paradise Father, the Universal Father]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It would seem that the Father, back in eternity, inaugurated a policy of profound self-distribution. There is inherent in the selfless, loving, and lovable nature of the Universal Father something which causes Him to reserve to Himself the exercise of only those powers and that authority which He apparently finds it impossible to delegate or to bestow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Universal Father all along has divested Himself of every part of Himself that was bestowable on any other Creator or creature. He has delegated to his divine Sons and their associated intelligences every power and all authority that could be delegated. He has actually transferred to his Sovereign Sons, in their respective universes, every prerogative of administrative authority that was transferable. In the affairs of a local universe, He has made each Sovereign Creator Son just as perfect, competent, and authoritative as is the Eternal Son in the original and central universe. He has given away, actually bestowed, with the dignity and sanctity of Personality possession, all of Himself and all of his attributes, everything He possibly could divest himself of, in every way, in every age, in every place, and to every person, and in every universe except that of his central indwelling. [The infinite, nuclear  Isle of Paradise -- God's Home -- and with plenty of room for an infinite sized Family.]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Divine Personality is not self-centered; self-distribution and sharing of Personality characterize divine freewill selfhood. Creatures crave association with other personal creatures; Creators are moved to share divinity with their universe children; the Personality of the Infinite is disclosed as the Universal Father, Who shares Reality of Being and Equality of Self with two co-ordinate Personalities, the Eternal Son and the Conjoint Actor. [The Infinite Spirit (fully within our Holy Spirit here in this universe)]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For knowledge concerning the Father's Personality and divine attributes we will always be dependent on the revelations of the Eternal Son, for when the conjoint act of creation was effected, when the Third Person of Deity sprang into personality existence [actually always eternal; but "sprang" is a condescension to our gross, limited minds here] and executed the combined concepts of his divine Parents, the Father ceased to exist as the Unqualified Personality. With the coming into being of the Conjoint Actor and the materialization of the central core of creation, certain eternal changes took place. God gave Himself as an Absolute Personality to his Eternal Son. Thus does the Father bestow the "Personality of infinity" upon his only-begotten Son, while They both bestow the "conjoint Personality" of their Eternal Union upon the Infinite Spirit. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For these and other reasons beyond the concept of the finite mind, it is exceedingly difficult for the human creature to comprehend God's infinite Father-Personality except as it is universally revealed in the Eternal Son and, with the Son, is universally active in the Infinite Spirit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since the Paradise Sons of God [Our Eternal Son-Father Revealer Jesus Christ] visit the evolutionary worlds [about 7 trillion human inhabited worlds just in the present, limited completion of our Grand Universe age; much more to come... without end] and sometimes even there dwell in the likeness of mortal flesh, and since these Bestowals make it possible for mortal man actually to know something of the nature and character of divine Personality, therefore must the creatures of the planetary spheres look to the Bestowals of these Paradise Sons for reliable and trustworthy information regarding the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. [Only our Father-Son Jesus Christ (aka Jesus Christ Michael) is the Full and Final Revelation of God. We will be following Jesus for countless trillions more years in our unending ascensions of Father finding and Father God revealing ! What a glorious Destiny we have with our Father Friend and Very Elder Brother Jesus ! Amen !]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. DEITY PERSONALIZATION&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the technique of trinitization the Father divests himself of that unqualified Spirit Personality which is the Son, but in so doing He constitutes Himself the Father of this very Son and thereby possesses Himself of unlimited capacity to become the divine Father of all subsequently created, eventuated, or other personalized types of intelligent will creatures. As the Absolute and Unqualified Personality the Father can function only AS and WITH the Son, but as a Personal Father [I AM]  He continues to Bestow Personality upon the diverse hosts of the differing levels of intelligent will creatures, and He forever maintains Personal relations of loving association with this vast Family of universe Children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the Father has bestowed upon the Personality of his Son the fullness of Himself, and when this act of Self-bestowal is complete and perfect, of the infinite power and nature which are thus existent in the Father-Son union, the eternal Partners conjointly [together as one] bestow those qualities and attributes which constitute still another Being like themselves; and this Conjoint Personality, the Infinite Spirit, completes the Existential Personalization of Deity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Son is indispensable to the Fatherhood of God. The Spirit is indispensable to the Fraternity of the Second and Third Persons. Three persons are a minimum social group, but this is least of all the many reasons for believing in the inevitability of the Conjoint Actor. [The Infinite Spirit IS a Person !!! Yes, Humans are not able to fully grasp this; but I personally in Spirit Know this to be True ! So do you; or so soon will you, too.]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The First Source and Center is the Infinite Father-Personality, the unlimited Source Personality. The Eternal Son is the unqualified Personality-absolute, that divine Being who stands throughout all time and eternity as the perfect Revelation of the Personal nature of God. The Infinite Spirit is the Conjoint Personality, the unique Personal consequence of the Everlasting Father-Son Union.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Personality of the First Source and Center is the Personality of Infinity minus the absolute Personality of the Eternal Son. The Personality of the Third Source and Center is the superadditive consequence of the Union of the liberated Father-personality [I AM] and the absolute Son-personality. [I AM; I AM AS I AM ...I AM IN I AM ... I AM THAT I AM ... I AM your Father ... I AM your Father-Son ... I AM in you; and you Are in Me in Jesus ... much more ... Thank You our loving Father of Fathers and Light of all True Lights !]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Universal Father, the Eternal Son, and the Infinite Spirit are unique Persons; none is a duplicate; Each is Original; All are United.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Eternal Son alone experiences the fullness of divine Personality relationship, consciousness of both Sonship with the Father and Paternity to the Spirit and of divine Equality with both Father-ancestor and Spirit-associate. The Father knows the experience of having a Son who is his equal, but the Father knows no ancestral antecedents. [The Father-Infinite-I AM  IS the One Uncaused Cause of All Reality !] The Eternal Son has the experience of sonship, recognition of Personality Ancestry, and at the same time the Son is conscious of being Joint Parent to the Infinite Spirit. The Infinite Spirit is conscious of twofold Personality Ancestry but is not parental to a co-ordinate Deity personality. With the Spirit the existential cycle of Deity Personalization attains completion; the Primary Personalities of the Third Source and Center are experiential and are seven in number. [much more later, if interested]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am of origin in the Paradise Trinity. I know the Trinity as Unified Deity; I also know that the Father, Son, and Spirit exist and act in their definite Personal capacities. I positively know that They not only act Personally and Collectively, but that They also Co-ordinate their performances in various groupings, so that in the end they function in seven different singular and plural capacities. [ I listed the seven combinations of the Triune God's will here before] And since these seven Associations exhaust the possibilities for such divinity Combination, it is inevitable that the Realities of the universe shall appear in seven variations of values, meanings, and Personality.

Your are spiritually perceptive in seeing the above Bible text as relating possibly to the seven spirits of God. There are many categories and levels of the seven spirits of God. Hopefully the following public domain text on this will add some; my added comments are in [ ]  Later today, I will try to post some more on the 1-3-7-Infinite Trinity. I put much in my initial post, and will have to post much more for this to slowly clarify, even partially. God and the Trinity Godhead are each and all Infinite and infinitely complex, as I shared before.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;[public domain text:]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;"There are three distinct spirit circuits in our local universe:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;1. The bestowal spirit of the Creator Son, the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;2. The spirit circuit of the Divine Minister, the Holy Spirit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;3. The intelligence-ministry circuit, including the more or less unified activities but diverse functioning of the seven adjutant mind-spirits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;(Now, a little more on just 3. above, the seven adjutant mind-spirits:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;The seven adjutant mind-spirits are the creation of the Divine Minister [our Infinite-Holy Spirit, the Partner of Jesus Christ, the "Bride of Christ] of a local universe. These mind-spirits are similar in character but diverse in power, and all partake alike of the nature of the Universe Spirit, although they are hardly regarded as personalities apart from their Mother Creator. The seven adjutants have been given the following names: the spirit of wisdom, the spirit of worship, the spirit of counsel, the spirit of knowledge, the spirit of courage, the spirit of understanding, the spirit of intuition--of quick perception.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;These are the "seven spirits of God," "like lamps burning before the throne," which the prophet [apostle John's Revelation] saw in the symbols of vision. But he did not see the seats of the four and twenty sentinels about these seven adjutant mind-spirits. This record represents the confusion of two presentations, one pertaining to the universe headquarters and the other to the system capital. The seats of the four and twenty elders are on Jerusem, [not the city Jerusalem] the headquarters of your local system of inhabited worlds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;THE SEVEN ADJUTANT MIND-SPIRITS&lt;br /&gt;It is the presence of the seven adjutant mind-spirits on the primitive worlds that conditions the course of organic evolution; that explains why evolution is purposeful and not accidental. [All true evolution is actually God's apparently slower creations in space-time here] These adjutants represent that function of the mind ministry of the Infinite Spirit which is extended to the lower orders of intelligent life through the operations of a local universe Mother Spirit. The adjutants are the children of the Universe Mother Spirit and constitute her personal ministry to the material minds of the realms. Wherever and whenever such mind is manifest, these spirits are variously functioning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;The seven adjutant mind-spirits are called by names which are the equivalents of the following designations: intuition, understanding, courage, knowledge, counsel, worship, and wisdom. These mind-spirits send forth their influence into all the inhabited worlds as a differential urge, each seeking receptivity capacity for manifestation quite apart from the degree to which its fellows may find reception and opportunity for function.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;We [some Sons of God and Angels under Jesus] are handicapped for words adequately to designate these seven adjutant mind-spirits. They are ministers of the lower levels of experiential mind, and they may be described, in the order of evolutionary attainment, as follows:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;1. The spirit of intuition--quick perception, the primitive physical and inherent reflex instincts, the directional and other self- preservative endowments of all mind creations; the only one of the adjutants to function so largely in the lower orders of animal life and the only one to make extensive functional contact with the nonteachable levels of mechanical mind. [I think this may be the cause of all plant and lower animal life to have a mind to pattern its (maraculous to us !) develelopment - growth.]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;2. The spirit of understanding--the impulse of co-ordination, the spontaneous and apparently automatic association of ideas. This is the gift of the co-ordination of acquired knowledge, the phenomenon of quick reasoning, rapid judgment, and prompt decision.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;3. The spirit of courage--the fidelity endowment--in personal beings, the basis of character acquirement and the intellectual root of moral stamina and spiritual bravery. When enlightened by facts and inspired by truth, this becomes the secret of the urge of evolutionary ascension by the channels of intelligent and conscientious self-direction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;4. The spirit of knowledge--the curiosity-mother of adventure and discovery, the scientific spirit; the guide and faithful associate of the spirits of courage and counsel; the urge to direct the endowments of courage into useful and progressive paths of growth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;5. The spirit of counsel--the social urge, the endowment of species co-operation; the ability of will creatures to harmonize with their fellows; the origin of the gregarious instinct among the more lowly creatures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;6. The spirit of worship--the religious impulse, the first differential urge separating mind creatures into the two basic classes of mortal existence. The spirit of worship forever distinguishes the animal of its association from the soulless creatures of mind endowment. Worship is the badge of spiritual- ascension candidacy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;7. The spirit of wisdom--the inherent tendency of all moral creatures towards orderly and progressive evolutionary advancement. This is the highest of the adjutants, the spirit co-ordinator and articulator of the work of all the others. This spirit is the secret of that inborn urge of mind creatures which initiates and maintains the practical and effective program of the ascending scale of existence; that gift of living things which accounts for their inexplicable ability to survive and, in survival, to utilize the co- ordination of all their past experience and present opportunities for the acquisition of all of everything that all of the other six mental ministers can mobilize in the mind of the organism concerned. Wisdom is the acme of intellectual performance. Wisdom is the goal of a purely mental and moral existence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;[Note well that if God (the Holy Spirit) were to switch mind levels 6 and 7 above, then we would all be ONLY worshipping without free will control - God gives us the higher spirit of wisdom and our sacred inherent volition as a Personality, and He our Holy Father-Son Spirit of Truth to allow us to CHOOSE if we want to worship our loving Father God in Jesus, or not to.]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;The adjutant mind-spirits experientially grow, but they never become personal. They evolve in function, and the function of the first five in the animal orders is to a certain extent essential to the function of all seven as human intellect. This animal relationship makes the adjutants more practically effective as human mind; hence animals are to a certain extent indispensable to man's intellectual as well as to his physical evolution. [But not our certain soul and spirit growth (evolution) without limit !]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Life Carriers can organize the material forms, or physical patterns, of living beings, but the Spirit provides the initial spark of life and bestows the endowment of mind. Even the living forms of experimental life which the Life Carriers organize on their universe headquarters worlds are always devoid of reproductive powers. When the life formulas and the vital patterns are correctly assembled and properly organized, the presence of a Life Carrier is sufficient to initiate life, but all such living organisms are lacking in two essential attributes--mind endowment and reproductive powers. Animal mind and human mind are gifts of the local universe Mother Spirit, functioning through the seven adjutant mind-spirits, while creature ability to reproduce is the specific and personal impartation of the Universe Spirit to the ancestral life plasm inaugurated by the Life Carriers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Adjutant-spirit minds. This is the ministry of a local universe Mother Spirit functioning through her seven adjutant mind-spirits on the teachable (nonmechanical) level of material mind. On this level material mind is experiencing: as subhuman (animal) intellect in the first five adjutants; as human (moral) intellect in the seven adjutants; as superhuman (midwayer) intellect in the last two adjutants."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Bro Dave later in this post: You may call God your (better to say Our) Father or Mother, or Father and Mother in One Spirit Combined, and thousands of other excellent and inspired descriptions. What do you do with (Gen) "Let US (Elohim - the Gods, Trinity) make Man in OUR (Elohim) own Image." and the nearly 2500 other uses of Elohim, and only 250 uses of Eloah (God singular) ? It is there ! Deal with this in honesty and in He the Spirit of Truth, and you will learn much more Truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Yes, we test the spirit(s) many times a day: "Do not scoff at those who prophecy; but TEST everything and ACCEPT that which is good, beautiful and true."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Note also that, as we all debate and learn about the Spirit(s) of God and the Trinity here; none of that developing Theology and philosophy has anything to do with our certain salvation in/by/with our Master-Maker Jesus Christ ! All sincere Persons here will certain be continuing this glorious intellectual and spiritual development, Individualy and as in groups, up on the (next higher levels) of the mansion worlds made by Jesus for our further rehabilitation and training ! Good or bad Theology-philosophy will NOT take away from us the Eternal TRUTH-FACT that JESUS SAVES DIRECTLY ! We believers in Him are just ambassadors, disciples, followers, etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Living faith in/with  Jesus in the truth of our Father God's love and mercy in freely granting each of us eternal life as our Father's ascending sons of God in His Family is all that is needed to give us the Personal assurance of this gracious, free salvation ! We will increasingly enjoy the never-ending service opportunities in the Brotherhood of Man under the Leadership of Jesus here.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Paradise peace and sure Progress,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Your Brother Dave&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10068605-110956048440349320?l=purechristians.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purechristians.blogspot.com/feeds/110956048440349320/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10068605&amp;postID=110956048440349320' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10068605/posts/default/110956048440349320'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10068605/posts/default/110956048440349320'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purechristians.blogspot.com/2005/02/seven-spirits-of-god.html' title='The Seven Spirits of God'/><author><name>Brother Dave</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11419451882832966364</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://www.purechristians.org/images/BrotherDave.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10068605.post-110912804606508079</id><published>2005-02-22T21:07:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-02-22T19:07:26.160-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Some reflections on the Truth of One God as Trinity; our Spiritual Authority</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;It is interesting that God the Father and God the Son and God The Spirit are referred to about 2500 times in the O.T.  as "Elohim",  meaning: Plural Deity, The Gods, The Trinity.  See in Genesis  "In the beginning, the Gods-The Trinity-The Godhead ["Elohim" is used] Created the Heavens and the earth." also, "Let US make (Personality-Spirit-soul) Man in OUR own Image", and many others.  Sadly, most Egyptian-Palestinian-Jewish minds were not then capable of even partially comprehending this deep, infinite Truth. Today, more of us are partially grasping this SAME Eternal Truth being continually Revealed in Spirit to us.  Note also in the O.T. that "Eloah" (God, singular) is found about ten times less, only 250 times, compared to the 2500 times of "Elohim", Gods plural.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;The One Paradise Deity - Infinite I AM - is the Infinite Trinity Union (Unity) of&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;1.GOD the Father&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;2. GOD the Son&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;3. GOD the Infinite Spirit&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;(Please get beyond the spiritually puerile description of  Him or Her as "The "Holy Ghost", as in Casper the cartoon ghost, etc. :)) )&lt;br /&gt;Do not think that GOD is Self-divided into 1/3  + 1/3 + 1/3; as each of the three Persons of the Trinity are each fully GOD ! as The Father shares All with/in/as the Son and with/in/as the Spirit; and this One Infinite Spirit also downsteps in countless ways (Hosts, Spirits, Angels, etc.) to further help reveal God to the many Heavens and universes, and to us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Now to the Seven Will-Volition-Decision-Choice  (I AM Infinite Volition)  total possible combinations of the Three Ever Existent Eternal Persons of the Paridise Trinity: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;1. God the Father wills by Himself &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;2. God the Son wills by Himself or Herself&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;[Herself? you may question?  Know that each Infinite and Eternal Personality Light far transcends the very gross, finite human (false) concepts of all Paradise Beings and Persons being confined in only about a six foot tall human flesh with mortal sexuality ! And do you picture toilets still needed in Paradise ?? What gross, unspiritual, unreal  limitations that would be ! How could they Create anything "BIG", such as galaxies and much bigger eternal Heavens ? Our One GodMan JESUS Christ IS NOT still confined to such a gross physical body that He only briefly used here,7BC - AD30, when He Incarnated (not "born") from Paradise-Eternity to do -Complete- "It is finished ..." - the perfect sevenfold Will of the Trinity - One Godhead !   He, our Master Jesus, could wear all the stars in His huge universe here as a mere necklace if He wanted to -- but even that is too small and too gross a concept of Him and His full GOD-Power !  Yes, ALL Power in Heaven and on earth (and more to be later Revealed in stages !) is given to Him as our GODMAN.  Note well in the Spirit of Truth: Jesus did not slowly become God down here; God did not slowly become Man down here in Jesus. Jesus was/IS/will be always One Spirit+ Person GODMAN.  Think of Personality, Spirit, Soul and  Mind as each fully more Real and more Useful in eternal service of God than as our beginning fleshly bodies down here.  (Enough for now) ]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;3. God the Spirit wills by Herself or Himself  (same as above; Personality is the True concept, not body)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;4. God the Father and God the Son conjointly (together) will as a Team of Two Persons. (This is the Primal origin of all Human Personalities in this infinite Father and Son Union, the same as Jesus Christ IS fully Perfect now !)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;5. God the Father and God the Spirit conjointly (together) will as a Team of Two Persons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;6. God the Son and God the Spirit conjointly (together) will as a Team of Two Persons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;7. God the Father and God the Son and God the Spirit conjointly (together) will as a Team of Three Persons [but NOT as the One Trinity Union (Unity) !!  As Three different Persons, and One in Spirit (of #3 above) ]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;1-3-7-infinity  ... The One Trinity, and all other possible Trinity of Trinities without limit, are ALSO able to Rule Paradise and all Eternal and temporal to eternal universes, now and being made, and to be made AS  THE TRINITY - and this is in addition to the Reality-Realities of The Sevenfold total combinations of the One will of the Triune Gods ...  &lt;br /&gt;So, now some here, may grasp a little more about the many uses of 1 and 3 and 7 in the Bibles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;The 7 eyes and the 7 lamps in Rev. are also true - but on lower spiritual levels closer to us, when the apostle John was allowed to visit in Spirit-soul-mind.  Also Paul did truly state that he was taken up into the "third Heaven" and even into Paradise.  That may help show that there are many levels made for us to ascend in more GodMan fusing realizations, and under the Ever True Light of Life -our Savior and Guide Jesus Christ. (aka Jesus Christ Michael - our same GodMan)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Some one asked here to tell of our Visions of God: (good !)  I conceive of God in many ways in worship, prayers, reflections and ongoing Personal Revelations; one frequent one is the Infinite Light (Luminosity Spirit Presence) of the Universal Father and the Infinite Light  (Luminosity Spirit Presence) of the Eternal Son AS ONE in our Father-Son-Elder Brother-Son of God and Son of Man- GODMAN Jesus Christ. I was/am given a mighty Revelation of He our One Infinite and Holy Father-Son-Spirit of Truth.The full Sovereignty of the Trinity Governent of all Universes is within and manifested by our Master-Maker-Savior-Father-Son-Forever Friend  JESUS.   The highest spiritual realizations and our spiritual destiny must include the eternal Truth fact of Jesus Christ as SON OF MAN as well as His other tens of thousands of Spirit Titles and Designations, which are still being revealed to us.  How can you teach a guppy what a website is, or what Divine Grace-Mercy is ??  If the guppy could first be reBorn in Spirit up to our level - then ... OK.  Grok ? (Comprehend what Jesus is doing to/for us ? !!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Very wise words of an unknown to me Person: (probably a Woman Protestant Seminary student in the 1940's in the Midwest USA  when her professors were in heavy debate about God. She said:)&lt;br /&gt;"IF OUR GOD (Elohim, Eloah, Jesus, Allah, Mazda, Yehweh, Jehovah, ABBA,  Christ, etc) were SMALL enough for our mere Human understandings, HE/SHE/THEY would NOT be BIG enough for our True needs." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;He, JESUS, The Spirit of All Truth is fully here with us ! Thank You Our Father and Sons and Spirits !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Note: I am fully a trans-ecclesiastical, trans-denominational, eclectic exegete for nearly 30 years to date; and my Main Source of All Truth here is GOD AND JESUS- ONE IN SPIRIT ! Thus, in His True Spirit Liberty, I am not restricted to the mere finite Bible translations, human interpretations as being All Truth.  See the (Infinite, Paradise) "Scripture of Truth" in Daniel 10:21 and others. The Living Word of GOD IS JESUS IN SPIRIT and not the printed Bibles that soon rot to dust.  I DO Know in Spirit and DO believe 100% in sharing about the best 3-5% of all of the Christian Bibles. The inverse would be bad: if another  Christian were to believe only 3-5% in 100% of the Bible's printed words.  :))&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;One real example of true faith: If you are driving on a dangerous mountain road at night in the rain and ice, and your accidently slip off, and plubge down a 1000 foot or more cliff, will you cry out in Personal living faith:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;1. BIBLE ! save me !!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;2. Father-Son Savior Jesus, I commend my Spirit-soul-mind unified by Personality to You and Your eternal gracious love, mercy and ministry !  Thank you Father !  (no words in mind or voice there are required; He - as GODMAN - is Spirit Luminosity  in the Center of you -soul - in Spirit and in Truth ! He Knows You before you even think or speak !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;3. Use you own wordless, or in words, in living faith given to all of us by God and Jesus as One.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;May we all follow our One Jesus and become more one in Spirit in the Family of One 1-3-7-Infinity God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;If we are to love our enemies ! we are by the loving Mandate of Jesus-GOD ! - - WHY do some here still quibble about old human made creeds and crystallized dogma of the distant past?  Common GOALS, not fossilized, intellectual human CREEDS, should help unite in loving service  all True Believers in our Godman Jesus ! This true, spiritual Brotherhood of JESUS is ever growing - here on earth too ! I am a Jesusonian -I am a Beloved Son of Jesus - I am a Beloved Son of I AM (GOD). I am chosen by Him as of 5-24-1977, and I freely choose to try to now be His ambassador here in and under the Trinity Government of All Reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Any Spirit of Truth-led comments, Personal God-conscious experiences, and sincere questions are welcome.  I am busy, and will be frequently slow in responding. Patience is a virtue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Paradise Peace of/in Jesus to my Christian Brothers and Sisters,and all others as future Jesusonian Christians,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Your Brother Dave&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10068605-110912804606508079?l=purechristians.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purechristians.blogspot.com/feeds/110912804606508079/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10068605&amp;postID=110912804606508079' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10068605/posts/default/110912804606508079'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10068605/posts/default/110912804606508079'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purechristians.blogspot.com/2005/02/some-reflections-on-truth-of-one-god.html' title='Some reflections on the Truth of One God as Trinity; our Spiritual Authority'/><author><name>Brother Dave</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11419451882832966364</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://www.purechristians.org/images/BrotherDave.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10068605.post-110860865346756250</id><published>2005-02-16T20:52:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-02-16T18:50:53.470-08:00</updated><title type='text'>"COMPANIONSHIP" a Spirit of Truth poem</title><content type='html'>No distant Lord have I,&lt;br /&gt;   loving afar to be,&lt;br /&gt;Made flesh for me&lt;br /&gt;   he cannot rest  &lt;br /&gt;   until he rests in me.&lt;br /&gt;I need not journey far&lt;br /&gt;   this dearest friend to see.&lt;br /&gt;Companionship is always mine;&lt;br /&gt;   he makes his home with me.&lt;br /&gt;I envy not the twelve.&lt;br /&gt;   Nearer to me is he.&lt;br /&gt;The life he once lived here on earth&lt;br /&gt;   he lives again in me.&lt;br /&gt;Ascended now to God&lt;br /&gt;   my witness there to be,&lt;br /&gt;His witness here am I&lt;br /&gt;   because his Spirit dwells in me.&lt;br /&gt;O glorious Son of God&lt;br /&gt;   Incarnate Deity,&lt;br /&gt;I shall forever be with Thee&lt;br /&gt;   because Thou art with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;         by  Maltbie Davenport Babcock,  1858 - 1901&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Brother Dave comments, one of my favorite Bible verses on He the Spirit of Truth is found in John 16:7-16 Note the significant word: "He"and not just an "it" !

Bucke, M.D., Copyright 1901,1922,1923 SBN 0-525-47245-2 PART V, CHAPTER 13, pages 287-289&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;My added comments are in these brackets: [ ]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The illumination of Charles G. Finney took place early in his 30th year - that is, in October,1821. He had the usual [?] earnest [fervent?] religious temperment, and for some time had been greatly troubled about his spiritual state, eagerly desiring, but unable to reach assurance of, salvation. Then occurred what he calls his "conversion." He says:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'The rising of my soul was so great that I rushed into the room behind the office to pray.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was no fire and no light in the room; nevertheless it appeared as if it were perfectly light. [Spiritual Lumininousity of Jesus Christ Michael !!] As I went in and shut the door it seemed as if I met the Lord [our God] Jesus Christ face to face. It did not occurr to me that it was wholly a mental state; it seemed that I saw him as I would see any other man. He said nothing, but looked at me in such a manner as to break me right down at his feet. I have always since regarded this as a most remarkable state of mind; for it seemed that he stood before me, and I fell down at his feet and poured out my soul to him. I wept aloud like a child, and made such confessions as I could with my choked utterance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I must have continued in this state for a good while; but my mind was too much absorbed to recollect anything I said. But I know, as soon as my mind bacame calm, I returned to the front office, and found that the fire, that I had made of large wood, was nearly burned out. But as I turned and was about to take a seat by the fire, I received a mighty baptism of the Holy Ghost. [The Holy Spirit] Without any expectation of it, without ever having this thought in my mind that was any such thing for me, without any recollection that I had ever heard the thing mentioned by any person in the world, the Holy Spirit descended upon me in a manner that seemed to go through me, body and soul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No words can express the wonderful love [LOVE !] that was shed abroad in my heart. I wept aloud with joy and love; and I do not know, but I should say, I literally bellowed out the unutterable gushings of my heart. These waves [Spirit Luminosity WAVES !] came over me, and over me, and over me, one after the other, until I recollect I cried out, (I shall die if these waves continue to pass over me.) I said, Lord, I cannot bear any more; yet I had no fear of death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How long I continued in this state I do not know. But it was late in the evening when a member of my choir came to see me. He was a member of the church. He found me in this state of loud weeping, and said, "Mr. Finney, what ails you ?" I could make him no answer for some time. He then said, "Are you in pain ?" I gathered myself up and replied, "No, but so happy that I cannot live."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is from AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY by Charles G. Finney, Hodder &amp; Stoughton, London, Copyright 1892, pages 17,18&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Later, Charles Finney states:] "Let no man think that those sermons which have been called so powerful were productions of my own brain or of my own heart unassisted by the Holy Ghost. They are not mine, but from the Holy Spirit in me."&lt;br /&gt;[The Holy Father-Son-Spirit of Truth Who is still being poured out here upon all flesh, and Who lovingly spiritually Guides us into All Truth : Our Universal Father God]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These same spiritual Encounters with the Living Master Jesus do continue today ! If you have had a tremendous and transforming spiritual experience, please share if you are so Spirit led. These sacred experiences will probably not convince rigid nonbelievers; but they do support and instruct all Spirit-led believers in Jesus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perfect Paradise Peace in Jesus is free to all who dare to believe,&lt;br /&gt;Your Brother Dave&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10068605-110817694677615142?l=purechristians.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purechristians.blogspot.com/feeds/110817694677615142/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10068605&amp;postID=110817694677615142' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10068605/posts/default/110817694677615142'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10068605/posts/default/110817694677615142'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purechristians.blogspot.com/2005/02/vivid-glorious-conversion-of-charles-g.html' title='The Vivid, Glorious Conversion of Charles G.

All evolutionary [perfecting] creature life is beset by certain inevitabilities. Consider the following:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;1. Is courage -- strength of character -- desirable? Then must man be reared in an environment which necessitates grappling with hardships and reacting to disappointments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;2. Is altruism -- service of one's fellows -- desirable? Then must life experience provide for encountering situations of social inequality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;3. Is hope -- the grandeur of trust -- desirable? Then human existence must constantly be confronted with insecurities and recurrent uncertainties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;4. Is faith -- the supreme assertion of human thought -- desirable? Then must the mind of man find itself in that troublesome predicament where it ever knows less than it can believe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;5. Is the love of truth and the willingness to go wherever it leads, desirable? Then must man grow up in a world where error is present and falsehood always possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;6. Is idealism -- the approaching concept of the divine -- desirable? Then must man struggle in an environment of relative goodness and beauty, surroundings stimulative of the irrepressible reach for better things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;7. Is loyalty -- devotion to highest duty -- desirable? Then must man carry on amid the possibilities of betrayal and desertion. The valor of devotion to duty consists in the implied danger of default.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;8. Is unselfishness -- the spirit of self-forgetfulness -- desirable? Then must mortal man live face to face with the incessant clamoring of an inescapable self for recognition and honor. Man could not dynamically choose the divine life if there were no self-life to forsake. Man could never lay saving hold on&lt;br /&gt;righteousness if there were no potential evil to exalt and differentiate the good by contrast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;9. Is pleasure -- the satisfaction of happiness -- desirable? Then must man live in a world where the alternative of pain and the likelihood of suffering are ever-present experiential possibilities."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Despite all of our uncertain and trying times, we do have the very Paradise peace of Jesus within us to mightily comfort and sustain us believers in and with Him ! Amen !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Love, peace and progress into all Truth,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Your Brother Dave, a Jesusonian Truthist &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10068605-110800796527785139?l=purechristians.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purechristians.blogspot.com/feeds/110800796527785139/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10068605&amp;postID=110800796527785139' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10068605/posts/default/110800796527785139'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10068605/posts/default/110800796527785139'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purechristians.blogspot.com/2005/02/why-there-are-some-inevitabilities-of.html' title='Why there are some inevitabilities of life and difficult times'/><author><name>Brother Dave</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11419451882832966364</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://www.purechristians.org/images/BrotherDave.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10068605.post-110757206657946602</id><published>2005-02-04T20:55:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-02-04T18:54:26.580-08:00</updated><title type='text'>NOW (New Old Word) HighLights of the Bible</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;                                 The New Old Word - NOW&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*********** - - - NOW HIGHLIGHTS OF BIBLE - - - *********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;SELECTED EXAMPLES FROM "THE NEW OLD WORD (NOW) BIBLE STUDY" by Brother Dave, a Jesusonian Copyright 1978, 2002&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;(NUMBERS BELOW are my Verse Numbers of the above full Study) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;81.

Isiah 9:6&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;84. (JESUS SAYS:) ALL things are delivered to Me (as Agent) of My FATHER; and no man knows who the SON is but the FATHER;and who the FATHER is but the SON, and those to whom the SON chooses to reveal HIM. Mat 11:27, Luke 10:22&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;98.

II Peter 1:11&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;164. I (JESUS CHRIST) WILL DRAW ALL MEN ONTO ME !!! John 12:32&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;207. SEE !, what manner of LOVE The FATHER has bestowed upon US, that WE should be called the SONS OF GOD !! Beloved, NOW WE ARE THE SONS OF GOD ! ! ! ! ! ! ! I John 3:1,2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;218. ALL MEN SHALL BE CALLED THE SONS OF THE LIVING GOD! Rom 9:24-26, Hos 1:10, 2:23&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;213. IN GOD, WE LIVE, MOVE AND HAVE OUR BEING; FOR WE ARE THE OFFSPRING OF GOD !

(If we are Brothers of JESUS WHO IS A DIVINE SON OF GOD, we too are sons of GOD! JESUS is even more!) Mat 12:50&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;255.(JESUS) And the Glory which YOU (GOD OF ALL) GAVE ME, I HAVE GIVEN THEM; that they my be One, even as WE ARE ONE. John 17:22&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;97. &amp;100. I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE! (JESUS speaking) John 10:30&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;235. BEHOLD, (SEE !!) the Kingdom of GOD IS WITHIN YOU !!! Luke 17:21&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;237. YOU are not only in the flesh, as THE SPIRIT OF GOD INDWELLS YOU !! (HERE AND NOW and WITHIN YOU !!) Rom 8:9&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;241. GOD'S Glorious SPIRIT IN the INNER MAN strengthens us to have faith such that JESUS CHRIST may DWELL IN our hearts; that we KNOW the trans- cendent eternal LOVE of JESUS CHRIST; and WE SHALL sometime be filled with all the fullness of GOD! Eph 3:16,17,19&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;376. (JESUS) THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH DWELLS WITH YOU AND SHALL BE IN YOU FOREVER!! John 14:16,17&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;380. (JESUS) YOU LIVE IN ME; LET ME LIVE IN YOU. John 15:4&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;359. (JESUS) If a man loves Me, he will keep My Words; and My FATHER will LOVE him, and WE WILL COME INTO HIM, and make OUR HOME WITH HIM !! John 14:23&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;325. (JESUS) This is My Commandment: THAT YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU. John 15:12&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;381. (JESUS) YOU SHALL KNOW THAT I AM IN MY FATHER, AND YOU ARE IN ME, AND I AM IN YOU. (Thus, through JESUS, YOU ARE IN THE FATHER OF ALL; HE IS IN YOU !!) John 14:20&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;479. SEE! I stand at the door and knock; if ANY man hear My Voice and opens the door, I WILL COME IN TO HIM, AND WILL SUP WITH HIM, AND HE WITH ME. Rev 3:20&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;93. ...and he who receives Me (JESUS) receives HIM who sent Me! Mat 10:40&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;304. Your heart was sometimes dark, NOW it is full of Light of the Lord; BEHAVE AS CHILDREN OF LIGHT!!! Because of this LIGHT WITHIN YOU, you should strive for goodness, righteousness and Truth. Eph. 5:8,9&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;469. (JESUS) I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, even to the ends of the earth!!! Mat 28:20&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;471. REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS ...THE LORD IS AT HAND ! (HERE AND NOW!!) Philip 4:4,5&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;483. CRY OUT AND SHOUT! GREAT IS THE HOLY ONE (JESUS)...AMONG US!!! Isa 12:6&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;177. FEAR NOT: for I AM WITH YOU; I will...bring My sons from afar, and My daughters from the ends of the earth; even EVERY ONE who is Called by My Name; for I have created him for My Glory, I have formed him; yes, I have made him. Isa 43:5,6,7&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;379. (JESUS) I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD: HE WHO FOLLOWS ME shall not walk in darkness, but SHALL HAVE THE LIGHT OF LIFE!!! John 8:12&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;409. (JESUS)...he who SEES ME SEES HIM who sent Me. I AM COME A LIGHT into the world.

Between you and God there is a tremendous distance (physical space) to be traversed. There likewise exists a great gulf of spiritual differential which must be bridged; but notwithstanding all that physically and spiritually separates you from the Paradise Personal presence of God, stop and ponder the solemn fact that God lives within you; He has in his own way already bridged the gulf. He has sent of Himself, His Spirit, to live in you and to toil with you as you pursue your eternal universe career." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Jesus has said on this very clearly: "The Father speaks within the human heart as a still, small voice, saying, 'This is the way; walk therein.' Do you not comprehend that God dwells within you, that He has become what you are that He may make you what He is !"  What profound love ! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;It is also given to us that "We worship God, first, bevause HE IS; then because HE IS IN US; and last, because WE ARE IN HIM."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;"The eternal purpose of the eternal God is a high spiritual ideal. The events of time and the struggles of material existence are but the transient scaffolding which bridges over to the other side, to the promised land of spiritual reality and supernal existence. Of course, you mortals find it difficult to grasp the idea of an eternal purpose; you are virtually unable to comprehend the thought of eternity, something never beginning and never ending. Everything familiar to you has an end."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;"Faith reveals God in the soul. Revelation enables man to see the same God in nature that faith exhibits in his soul. Thus does revelation successfully bridge the gulf between the material and the spiritual, even between the creature and the Creator, between man and God."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;[A.D.29] In entering Sidon, Jesus and his associates passed over a bridge, the first one many of them had ever seen. As they walked over this bridge, Jesus, among other things, said: "This world is only a bridge; you may pass over it, but you should not think to build a dwelling place upon it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Jesus, Who Is God the Father and God the Son to us, and One in Spirit, has said, among others:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;I AM the Good Shepherd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;I AM the Infinite Father of My finite Children. [We sons and daughters of God ! Each and every mortal person with Divine-Human rights and spiritual dignity !]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;I AM the Living Bridge from one world to another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;I AM the Living Link between time and eternity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Thus did Jesus enlarge the living revelation of the name of God to all generations. As Divine Love reveals the nature of God, Eternal Truth discloses his name in ever-enlarging proportions."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;For much more, see our website  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purechristians.org/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;http://www.PureChristians.org/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;"In His devotion to the cause of the Kingdom [the progressing Brotherhood of Man under the loving and merciful Fatherhood of God]  Jesus burned all bridges behind Him; He sacrificed all hindrances to the doing of His Father's will."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;"THE SUPREMACY OF RELIGION&lt;br /&gt;Personal, spiritual religious experience is an efficient solvent for most mortal difficulties; it is an effective sorter, evaluator, and adjuster of all human problems. Religion does not remove or destroy human troubles, but it does dissolve, absorb, illuminate, and transcend them. True religion unifies the personality for effective adjustment to all mortal requirements. Religious faith -- the positive leading of the indwelling divine Presence [the individualized Spirit of God within you; the Pilot Light in your soul] -- unfailingly enables the God-knowing man to bridge that gulf existing between the intellectual logic which recognizes the Universal First Cause as It and those positive affirmations of the soul which aver this First Cause is He, the heavenly Father of Jesus' gospel, the personal God of human salvation."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Brother Dave adds: If an unbelieving doubter or skeptic confronts you on your living faith, you could well state: "How do you know that I do not know ? In Jesus, I Am a Beloved Son of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;I AM; I Am eternally Certain."  Or, use your own, Spirit-inspired words !  Amen !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Love, peace and progress in our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;eternal adventure in God's Light and Life,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Your Brother Dave&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10068605-110731475262733950?l=purechristians.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purechristians.blogspot.com/feeds/110731475262733950/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10068605&amp;postID=110731475262733950' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10068605/posts/default/110731475262733950'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10068605/posts/default/110731475262733950'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purechristians.blogspot.com/2005/02/bridges-of-significance.html' title='Bridges of Significance'/><author><name>Brother Dave</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11419451882832966364</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://www.purechristians.org/images/BrotherDave.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10068605.post-110722613261805559</id><published>2005-01-31T20:50:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-01-31T18:48:52.616-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Spirit of Truth is Jesus here with us now !</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Jesus said to his apostles, just before his crucifixion, in A.D. 30 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;"My little children, I am going away, going back to my Father.

This Book of Revelation contains the surviving fragments of a great revelation, large portions of which were lost, other portions of which were removed, subsequent to John's writing. It is preserved in only fragmentary and adulterated form." [public domain text]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Brother Dave adds: Today, many sincere Christians incorrectly state "The Book of Revelations" plural. No, fully incorrect: See Rev 1:1 This is the Revelation (singular) OF JESUS CHRIST ...and must SOON take place ... Rev 1:4 ...for the time is at hand ! This clear statement shows that this is an eternal now Revelation of and about our Sovereign Jesus Christ ! It has very little or nothing to do with timing specific events that may or may not happen here on earth ! Rather, sincere Christians may read the best portions of Revelation for deep spiritual Truths that are NOW HERE to be increasingly realized in the Spirit of Truth !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will now point out just a few important Truth statements in this "Book of Revelation of Jesus Christ". In Rev 12:7-12, There WAS war in Heaven, and MICHAEL won ! We know that Jesus was the One who won over the devil; so the only logical conclusion is that Jesus Christ is also Jesus Christ Michael - Yes, the same Person ! "Michael" is a name or title which means: "HE Who IS just like GOD" or "HE IS GOD" more corectly and directly ! We also see in Dan 10:21 that God states that He Who is with Me (Coordinate God) is Michael your Prince (of Peace). He is thus Jesus here also; the same Person. See also Dan 12:1-4 (and also Rev 1:5 ) on Michael the Great Prince in charge of (all) the people, and all the kings of the earth, and our Savior resurrecting the believers in Him (Jesus) to eternal life; and all will (eventually) have the loving and merciful judgment of God and Jesus, One in Spirit. Then we can read John 12:31-32 and see that this loving judgment is here and NOW ! The fallen devil, (the evil one) IS cast out ! (by Jesus in A.D.30 and forever ! See also Jude 1:6 and John 16:11) Jesus is now lifted up - Ascended into all of God's Power and Glory and Sovereignty - and yes, HE IS DRAWING (and saving) all Men, Women and Children unto HimSelf ! Amen ! Wonderful Truths !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jumping now to Rev 19: 13 we should all perceive the great Truth that Jesus Christ (Michael) IS The Word of GOD ! The old and new scriptures are not the Pure Living Word of GOD Who IS JESUS ! They are just a few fragnents saved of oral comments by many men and women, some much more holy and discerning - spiritually perceiving than others. Here is a vivid example of this distinction: If you, Dear Reader, or I, were to be suddenly near death in a terrible accident, I doubt very much if You or I would cry out, "BIBLE save me !!!" I would then and now know that JESUS is the Living Word (Son) of God really saving me !!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So far, the Bible and many crystallized church traditions have produced about 30,000 different and contending sects and denominations ! What is the answer? Only the Living JESUS here fully with us Belivers, is actually uniting all sincere, Spirit-led Christians in and out of the organized religions ! This is the living and growing Jesus' Brotherhood in the Family of God ! I am confident that GOALS - Spiritual Values of Light and Life, and not mere intellectual CREEDS will eventually unite all Christians ! Amen ! Thank You our Father God !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now to one of my favorite verses in this "Revelation of Jesus": Rev 21:3-7 I am blessed to be given a Sacred Vision of God and Jesus Coordinate (side-by-side) and One in Spirit and Divine Power to us here; that was back in 1977 and eternally unfolding ! About 1980 and after, I wrote and shared: [many variations; best to personalize and adapt to the person to whom you are sharing the Good News. (Gospel)]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                              &lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;         "It is done !&lt;br /&gt;                          Now everyone is God's Son !&lt;br /&gt; Be NOW the Beloved Son of GOD in JESUS that YOU ARE !&lt;br /&gt;In and with HIM, we are becoming, in Spirit purpose, One !&lt;br /&gt;      Thank You, our Master and True Savior Jesus !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Surprisingly, it was several years later, that I saw in Spirit this same Truth also clearly stated in Rev 21:3-7 ! I said to myself, Wow !! When you are feeling inspired, and thus seeking our loving Father God much, you might want to peruse (read carefully) this tremendous Rev 21:3-7 again. Soul lifting - inspiring Truths ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paradise peace and sure progress into all Truth,&lt;br /&gt;Your Brother Dave&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10068605-110696644182320882?l=purechristians.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purechristians.blogspot.com/feeds/110696644182320882/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10068605&amp;postID=110696644182320882' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10068605/posts/default/110696644182320882'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10068605/posts/default/110696644182320882'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purechristians.blogspot.com/2005/01/important-comments-on-book-of.html' title='Important comments on &quot;The Book of Revelation&quot;'/><author><name>Brother Dave</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11419451882832966364</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://www.purechristians.org/images/BrotherDave.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10068605.post-110688413133298781</id><published>2005-01-27T21:50:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-01-27T19:48:51.333-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Personal Spiritual Experiences in the Original I AM Personality</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;"The more completely man understands himself and appreciates the personality values of his fellows, the more he will crave to know the Original Personality, and the more earnestly such a God-knowing human will strive to become like the Original Personality.

Here is one very significant Appearance. This text is not copyright, it is fully in the public domain; and thus you are encouraged to share part or all of this with many sincere truth seekers as you are so led in Jesus' Spirit of Truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;"At Emmaus, about seven miles west of Jerusalem, there lived two brothers, shepherds, who had spent the Passover week in Jerusalem attending upon the sacrifices, ceremonials, and feasts. Cleopas, the elder, was a partial believer in Jesus; at least he had been cast out of the synagogue. His brother, Jacob, was not a believer, although he was much intrigued by what he had heard about the Master's teachings and works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;On this Sunday afternoon, about three miles out of Jerusalem and a few minutes before five o'clock, as these two brothers trudged along the road to Emmaus, they talked in great earnestness about Jesus, his teachings, work, and more especially concerning the rumors that his tomb was empty, and that certain of the women had talked with him. Cleopas was half a mind to believe these reports, but Jacob was insistent that the whole affair was probably a fraud. While they thus argued and debated as they made their way toward home, the [super-physical, soul] manifestation of Jesus, came alongside them as they journeyed on. Cleopas had often heard Jesus teach and had eaten with him at the homes of Jerusalem believers on several occasions. But he did not recognize the Master even when he spoke freely with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;After walking a short way with them,&lt;strong&gt; Jesus said: "What were the words you exchanged so earnestly as I came upon you?"&lt;/strong&gt; And when Jesus had spoken, they stood still and viewed him with sad surprise. Said Cleopas: "Can it be that you sojourn in Jerusalem and know not the things which have recently happened?" &lt;strong&gt;Then asked the Master, "What things?"&lt;/strong&gt; Cleopas replied: "If you do not know about these matters, you are the only one in Jerusalem who has not heard these rumors concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in word and in deed before God and all the people. The chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to the Romans and demanded that they crucify him. Now many of us had hoped that it was he who would deliver Israel from the yoke of the gentiles. But that is not all. It is now the third day since he was crucified, and certain women have this day amazed us by declaring that very early this morning they went to his tomb and found it empty. And these same women insist that they talked with this man; they maintain that he has risen from the dead. And when the women reported this to the men, two of his apostles ran to the tomb and likewise found it empty"--and here Jacob interrupted his brother to say, "but they did not see Jesus."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;As they walked along,&lt;strong&gt; Jesus said to them: "How slow you are to comprehend the truth! When you tell me that it is about the teachings and work of this man that you have your discussions, then may I enlighten you since I am more than familiar with these teachings. Do you not remember that this Jesus always taught that his kingdom was not of this world, and that all men, being the sons of God, should find liberty and freedom in the spiritual joy of the fellowship of the brotherhood of loving service in this new kingdom of the truth of the heavenly Father's love? Do you not recall how this Son of Man proclaimed the salvation of God for all men, ministering to the sick and afflicted and setting free those who were bound by fear and enslaved by evil? Do you not know that this man of Nazareth told his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, be delivered up to his enemies, who would put him to death, and that he would arise on the third day? Have you not been told all this? And have you never read in the Scriptures concerning this day of salvation for Jew and Gentile, where it says that in Him shall all the families of the earth be blessed; that He will hear the cry of the needy and save the souls of the poor who seek Him; that all nations shall call Him Blessed? That such a Deliverer shall be as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. That He will feed the flock like a True Shepherd, gathering the lambs in his arms and tenderly carrying them in his bosom. That He will open the eyes of the spiritually blind and bring the prisoners of despair out into full liberty and Light; that all who sit in darkness shall see the Great Light of Eternal Salvation. That He will bind up the brokenhearted, proclaim liberty to the captives of sin, and open up the prison to those who are enslaved by fear and bound by evil. That He will comfort those who mourn and bestow upon them the joy of salvation in the place of sorrow and heaviness. That He shall be the desire of all nations and the everlasting joy of those who seek righteousness. That this Son of Truth and Righteousness shall rise upon the world with healing Light and saving Power; even that He will save his people from their sins; that He will really seek and save those who are lost. That He will not destroy the weak but minister salvation to all who hunger and thirst for righteousness. That those who believe in Him shall have Eternal Life. That He will pour out his Spirit upon all flesh, and that this Spirit of Truth shall be in each believer a well of water, springing up into everlasting Life. Did you not understand how great was the Gospel [Good News!] of the Kingdom which this Man delivered to you? Do you not perceive how great a Salvation has come upon you?" "&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Thank You, our True GODMan Savior Jesus Christ, for being always fully here with us in Your Good, Comforting, enLightening, and all-pervasive Spirit of Truth - Who IS One with and as the Spirit of GOD upon and within us Believers in You, our Master Jesus, and Your Eternal Truth of/in the Paradise Universal Father God of All Reality ...

Later here, we will continue this study.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;"Always keep in mind: &lt;strong&gt;True religion is to know God as your Father and man as your brother.&lt;/strong&gt; Religion is not a slavish belief in threats of punishment or magical promises of future mystical rewards.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;      &lt;strong&gt;The religion of Jesus is the most dynamic influence ever to activate the human race. Jesus shattered tradition, destroyed dogma, and called mankind to the achievement of its highest ideals in time and eternity -- to be perfect, even as the Father in heaven is perfect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Just as certainly as men share their religious beliefs, they create a religious group of some sort which eventually creates &lt;strong&gt;common goals.&lt;/strong&gt; Someday religionists will get together and actually effect &lt;strong&gt;co-operation on the basis of unity of ideals and purposes&lt;/strong&gt; rather than attempting to do so on the basis of psychological opinions and theological beliefs. &lt;strong&gt;Goals rather than creeds should unify religionists. Since true religion is a matter of personal spiritual experience, it is inevitable that each individual religionist must have his own and personal interpretation of the realization of that spiritual experience. Let the term "faith" stand for the individual's relation to God rather than for the creedal formulation of what some group of mortals have been able to agree upon as a common religious attitude. "Have you faith? Then have it to yourself."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Rationalism is wrong when it assumes that religion is at first a primitive belief in something which is then followed by the pursuit of values. Religion is primarily a pursuit of values, and then there formulates a system of interpretative beliefs. It is much easier for men to agree on &lt;strong&gt;religious values -- goals&lt;/strong&gt; -- than on beliefs -- interpretations. And this explains how religion can agree on values and goals while exhibiting the confusing phenomenon of maintaining a belief in hundreds of conflicting beliefs -- creeds. This also explains why &lt;strong&gt;a given person can maintain his religious experience in the face of giving up or changing many of his religious beliefs. Religion persists in spite of revolutionary changes in religious beliefs. Theology does not produce religion; it is religion that produces theologic philosophy."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Perfect peace in serving all in the Brotherhood of Jesus,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Your Brother Dave&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10068605-110636222821395367?l=purechristians.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purechristians.blogspot.com/feeds/110636222821395367/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10068605&amp;postID=110636222821395367' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10068605/posts/default/110636222821395367'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10068605/posts/default/110636222821395367'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purechristians.blogspot.com/2005/01/true-religion-intro-part-1.html' title='True Religion - an intro, part 1'/><author><name>Brother Dave</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11419451882832966364</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://www.purechristians.org/images/BrotherDave.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10068605.post-110624072263373818</id><published>2005-01-20T11:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-01-20T09:05:22.633-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Retain and proclaim Old *and* New Truth in Jesus</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Returning to Capernaum in A.D. 28, Jesus and the twelve [apostles] came to Bethsaida by boat from Tarichea. They traveled by boat in order to escape some Pharisees who journeyed with them. But by the next day the others, including the official spies from Jerusalem, had again found Jesus.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Later that day, Jesus was conducting one of his customary classes of questions and answers when the leader of the spies [several Pharisees there] said to him: "I was today talking with one of John's disciples who is here attending upon your teaching, and we were at a loss to understand why you never command your disciples to fast and pray as we Pharisees fast and as John bade his followers." And Jesus, referring to a statement by John, answered this questioner: "Do the sons of the bridechamber fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as the bridegroom remains with them, they can hardly fast. But the time is coming when the bridegroom shall be taken away, and during those times the children of the bridechamber undoubtedly will fast and pray. To pray is natural for the children of Light, but fasting is not a part of the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven. Be reminded that a wise tailor does not sew a piece of new and unshrunk cloth upon an old garment, lest, when it is wet, it shrink and produce a worse rent. Neither do men put new wine into old wine skins, lest the new wine burst the skins so that both the wine and the skins perish. The wise man puts the new wine into fresh wine skins. Therefore do My disciples show wisdom in that they do not bring too much of the old order over into the new teaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom. You who have lost your teacher may be justified in fasting for a time. Fasting may be an appropriate part of the law of Moses, but in the coming Kingdom the sons of God shall experience freedom from fear and joy in the Divine Spirit." And when they heard these words, the disciples of John were comforted while the Pharisees themselves were the more confounded.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Then the Master [our Living Jesus Christ, still fully here in Spirit !!] proceeded to warn his hearers against entertaining the notion that all olden teaching should be replaced entirely by new doctrines. &lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Said Jesus:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"That which is old and also true must abide. Likewise, that which is new but false must be rejected. But that which is new and also true, have the faith and courage to accept. Remember it is written: 'Forsake not an old friend, for the new is not comparable to him. As new wine, so is a new friend; if it becomes old, you shall drink it with gladness."'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;[Let us continue to retain and proclaim the OLD TRUTHS and thankfully embrace the NEW TRUTHS which are ever unfolding to us in the Holy Father-Son-Spirit of ALL TRUTH !

The Hebrew mind could not reconcile the trinitarian concept with the monotheistic belief in the One Lord, the God of Israel." [public domain text; free to use]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Brother Dave comments: Today, worldwide, the vast majority of spiritual and intelligent humans know the Truth that there is no separate "God of Israel" and another "God of Europe"" and another "God of North America", etc. These are merely the old, dark false concepts of "tribal gods"; rather we sons and daughters of our True God worldwide know that there is ONE Universal Creator-Controller-Upholder Father GOD Who loves and guides all of us worldwide without respect of nations or even of persons ! This is clearly shown by our Master Jesus Who is still here in Spirit teaching all of us to love EACH and EVERY person; EVEN TO LOVE OUR ENEMIES !! Let us each pray and reflect upon this long and deeply.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning (GOD) (or, the GODS) (or, The Trinity) [actually the word is: "Elohim", God plural, found about 2500 times in the Old Testament !] created the heaven and the earth." [note that God, singular, is "Eloah"; and this is found ONLY about 250 times in the Old Testament !]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Genesis 1:26 "And God -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;(The word here is "Elohim" = Plural Deity, The Trinity, The Three Gods of the One Godhead. Always remember that the Paradise TRINITY IS DEITY UNITY, Absolutely and Eternally and Infinitely. Secondly, all diversity, even infinite diversity, is contained within the infinite Unity of the Infinite freewill of One God -- the One Primal and One Final Universal Father Infinite -- I AM )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;- said, Let US (plural !) make Man in OUR (plural) Own Image, after OUR (plural) Likeness: and let them have dominion (control !) over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and OVER ALL THE EARTH, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."&lt;br /&gt;Using progressive religious VALUES and philosophical MEANINGS and scientific FACTS in a blended and harmonized fashion will allow progressing Mankind here to eventually wisely control everything on earth -- and thus as our loving Father God has wisely ordained ! Let us all go forward with and in our Sovereign Savior Jesus ! and not regress back into the dark ages !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;(Stated again, another way) We mortal Humans must believe that we are now made in the Divine and Sacred Image of God ! and are Members in the Family of God ruled by Jesus Christ ! Your ongoing and eternal Salvation includes ever deepening realizations of these Truth-Facts of eternal Significance ! Note also that we are to continue to develop our sciences and industrial development to eventually have full dominion (control) over all of the earth and all animals and living creatures. Both science and relgion must contine to improve, and true philosophy will continue to HARMONIZE/CORRELATE both.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Genesis 1:27 and 5:1 and 9:6 "So the GODS (Elohim) created Man in His Own Image; male and female He made them."&lt;br /&gt;Note the singular "His" and "He" (One Godhead) and also the very significant Truth-fact that the Image of God includes a Duality of "Male and female", indicating more than just One Person in the Godhead. By Revelation, we are given Three Coordinate Gods in the One Trinity: God the Universal Father and God the Eternal Son and God the Infinite Spirit; and this Trinity of Three Persons is infininity ONE in Existential (Paradise) Reality !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;For much more on this, visit our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.PureChristians.org"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;www.PureChristians.org&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt; extensive website and use the Pico search tool near the top of our home page.

Man is naturally a dreamer, but science is sobering him so that religion can presently activate him with far less danger of precipitating fanatical reactions. Economic necessities tie man up with reality, and PERSONAL religious experience brings this same man face to face with the eternal realities of an ever-expanding and progressing cosmic citizenship.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;But TRUE RELIGION is a living love, a life of service. The religionist's detachment from much that is purely temporal and trivial never leads to social isolation, and it should not destroy the sense of humor. GENUINE RELIGION takes nothing away from human existence, but it does ADD new meanings to all of life; it generates NEW types of ENTHUSIASM, ZEAL, and COURAGE. It may even engender the *spirit of the crusader,* which is more than dangerous IF not controlled by SPIRITUAL INSIGHT and loyal devotion to the commonplace social obligations of human loyalties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;[Now, it's time for a silly reVersion joke:"SAVE THE ZEALS !!!"  HONK ! HONK ! (Oh blubber !)  Ha ha]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Faith does not shackle the creative imagination, neither does it maintain an unreasoning prejudice toward the discoveries of scientific investigation. FAITH VITALIZES religion and constrains the religionist heroically to live the golden rule. The ZEAL OF FAITH is according to knowledge, and its strivings are the preludes to sublime [Paradise level] PEACE. [given to us by Jesus ...]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;[This is a wise Greek philosopher speaking, in A.D. 29] The wise and effective solution of any problem demands that the mind shall be free from bias, passion, and all other purely personal prejudices which might interfere with the disinterested survey of the actual factors that go to make up the problem presenting itself for solution. The solution of life problems requires courage and sincerity. Only honest and brave individuals are able to follow valiantly through the perplexing and confusing maze of living to where the logic of a fearless mind may lead. And this emancipation of the MIND and *SOUL* can never be effected without the driving power of **an intelligent ENTHUSIASM which borders on religious ZEAL.** It requires the lure of a great ideal to drive man on in the pursuit of a goal which is beset with difficult material problems and manifold intellectual hazards. [This is very good, but not perfect, spiritual philosophy.

Some basic questions for Truth Seekers </title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;1.  Are you searching for love, mercy, truth, beauty and goodness in the relationships of God, His Angels, the grand universe, your fellowmen and yourself?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;2.  Would you be somewhat dissatisfied with an eternal heavenly life of just peace and rest with no challenges?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;3.  Do you think that man is basically good and is slowly progressing ever upward toward true brotherhood here on earth?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;4.  Do you think that astrology, communications with the dead, reincarnation, sacrificial bloodletting on any level, fear of devils, certain sacraments and "holy" doctrines are immature, if not in serious error?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;5.  Do you know or believe that God can Reveal HimSelf directly to you through His Spirit of Truth and His Spirit within you, and not just indirectly through certain "chosen" or "elect" "high" "holy" men?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;6.  Do you feel that science, history, religion and philosophy should be logically unified?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;7.  Would you devote years of voluntary study and student/teaching to understand, live and experience further truths?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;8.  Are you tired of hearing a stale or dead theological religion ABOUT JESUS and seriously want to know the true and living religion OF JESUS and OF GOD, the living and infinitely loving FATHER of all?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;9.  Will you seek and try to do GOD'S and JESUS' perfect Will?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;If you have answered YES to some or all of the above questions, and you would like to join a study group to these ends, please contact me by emailing Dave (at) (@) PureChristians.org&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;A living Gospel (Good News) of our Master Jesus Christ to share with all:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;"It is done; now everyone is a son (or daughter) of our infinitely loving Father God !Be NOW the eternal son of God, in Truth, that YOU ARE !!"Thank you our Sovereign Creator Jesus !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10068605-110600972520920938?l=purechristians.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purechristians.blogspot.com/feeds/110600972520920938/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10068605&amp;postID=110600972520920938' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10068605/posts/default/110600972520920938'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10068605/posts/default/110600972520920938'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purechristians.blogspot.com/2005/01/gods-truth-is-within-you-some-basic.html' title='GOD&apos;S  TRUTH  IS  WITHIN  YOU !

On Saturday, January 28, Jesus preached the memorable sermon on &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"Trust and Spiritual Preparedness."&lt;/i&gt; After preliminary remarks by Simon Peter, the Master said:&lt;br /&gt;"What I have many times said to My apostles and to My disciples, I now declare to this multitude: Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees which is hypocrisy, born of prejudice and nurtured in traditional bondage, albeit many of these Pharisees are honest of heart and some of them abide here as My disciples. Presently all of you shall understand My teaching, for there is nothing now covered that shall not be revealed. That which is now hid from you shall all be made known when the Son of Man has completed His Mission on earth and in the flesh. [Jesus continues His Mission here now in Spirit to lead and teach all believers worldwide in His ever-present Spirit of Truth !! Amen !!]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;"Soon, very soon, will the things which our enemies now plan in secrecy and in darkness be brought out into the light and be proclaimed from the housetops. But I say to you, My friends, when they seek to destroy the Son of Man, be not afraid of them. Fear not those who, although they may be able to kill the body, after that have no more power over you. [You and I continue !!] I admonish you to fear none, in Heaven or on earth, but to rejoice in the knowledge of Him who has power to deliver you from all unrighteousness and to present you blameless before the judgment seat of a universe. [Now is the loving judgment of God in Jesus ! (See John 12:31-32) Yes, Master Jesus, I place my trust in You ! ]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;"Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And yet, when these birds flit about in quest of their sustenance, not one of them exists without the knowledge of the Father, the Source of all life. To the seraphic guardians the very hairs of your head are numbered. And if all of this is true, why should you live in fear of the many trifles which come up in your daily lives? I say to you: &lt;strong&gt;Fear not&lt;/strong&gt;; you are of much more value than many sparrows.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;"All of you who have had the courage to confess faith in My Gospel before men I will presently acknowledge before the angels of heaven; but he who shall knowingly deny the Truth of My Teachings before men shall be denied by his guardian of destiny even before the angels of heaven.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;"Say what you will about the Son of Man, and it shall be forgiven you; but he who presumes to blaspheme against God shall hardly find forgiveness. When men go so far as knowingly to ascribe the doings of God to the forces of evil, such deliberate rebels will hardly seek forgiveness for their sins. [God and Jesus, One in Spirit will even forgive all your sins and iniquities IF you sincerely seek such lavish saving mercy ! The Door to the Father is wide upon to all who sincerely seek to enter into the Family of God in Jesus !]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;"And when our enemies bring you before the rulers of the synagogues and before other high authorities, be not concerned about what you should say and be not anxious as to how you should answer their questions, for &lt;strong&gt;the Spirit that dwells within you shall certainly teach you in that very hour what you should say in honor of the Gospel of the Kingdom. &lt;/strong&gt;[The Spirit of God now burns brightly and ever steady within your soul and mind as the true will of God, and your Integrity in Eternity -- actually the &lt;i&gt;Real, Perfect, Final You&lt;/i&gt; that God has made You to BE ! Glorious Truths ... We may now thank our loving Father God and our Sovereign Savior Jesus for this Sacred Gift within ... Thank You our Father !]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;"How long will you tarry in the valley of decision? Why do you halt between two opinions? Why should Jew or Gentile hesitate to &lt;strong&gt;accept the good news that he is a son of the eternal God? How long will it take us to persuade you to enter joyfully into your Spiritual Inheritance? I came into this world to Reveal the Father to you and to lead you to the Father. The first I have done, but the last I may not do without your consent; the Father never compels any man to enter the kingdom. The invitation ever has been and always will be: Whosoever will, let him come and freely partake of the Water of Life."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;In Jesus' Good Spirit of Truth, even All Truth, (see John 16:7-16)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Your Brother Dave&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To find and share more, go to &lt;a href="http://www.purechristians.org/"&gt;http://www.purechristians.org/&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10068605-110572303998214417?l=purechristians.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purechristians.blogspot.com/feeds/110572303998214417/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10068605&amp;postID=110572303998214417' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10068605/posts/default/110572303998214417'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10068605/posts/default/110572303998214417'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purechristians.blogspot.com/2005/01/jesus-sermon-on-trust-and-spiritual.html' title='Jesus Sermon on Trust and Spiritual Preparedness'/><author><name>Brother Dave</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11419451882832966364</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://www.purechristians.org/images/BrotherDave.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10068605.post-110562951465247751</id><published>2005-01-13T07:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-01-13T07:18:34.653-08:00</updated><title type='text'>IT IS DONE !

In my ongoing efforts to share personally some&lt;br /&gt;of the &lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reality of God's and Jesus' &lt;i&gt;Combined as One&lt;/i&gt; Spirit of Truth,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and His pouring out of infinite love, lavish mercy, sacred ministry, eternal Truth, Divine Beauty and Universal Goodnes freely to each and to all in His inconceivably large and well-organized universe !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;In my continuing attempts to try to convey some of the Essence of this Revelation to many others, I have shared, and do share, the following significant statements.In the Spirit of Living Truth, you and Jesus &lt;i&gt;Combined&lt;/i&gt; may want to adapt and tailor these Living Truths to other Individuals on this world in your own Spirit-inspired words !!  It is always best to get to know a Person well before adjusting this Living Gospel (Good News) message to him or her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;August 1980, JESUS and I wrote:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;                                  IT IS DONE;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;                             NOW EVERYONE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;                                 IS GOD'S SON.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;        BE NOW THE SON OF GOD THAT YOU ARE ! !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Thank you our Eternal Creator Father JESUS and our GOD ! ! !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Still later, Jesus' eternal Spirit of Truth leads me to continually refine &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;"It is done".

Only when more Individuals realize that they each are now Beloved sons (and daughters and children) of God in Jesus, will they voluntarily accept deep spiritual Transformations (Spirit BirthDay - ReBirth) and thus cooperate with Jesus here in coordinating higher goals and worthy projects with believing Brothers and Sisters worldwide, in the effort to promote planetary peace and sure progress in all aspects of Life in His True and Pure Light of God ! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your comments and questions are welcome here, or on our website or forums.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Paradise Peace now here with and in Jesus,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Brother Dave&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10068605-110554270141058518?l=purechristians.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purechristians.blogspot.com/feeds/110554270141058518/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10068605&amp;postID=110554270141058518' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10068605/posts/default/110554270141058518'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10068605/posts/default/110554270141058518'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purechristians.blogspot.com/2005/01/rising-vocal-christian-majority.html' title='The rising Vocal Christian Majority'/><author><name>Brother Dave</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11419451882832966364</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://www.purechristians.org/images/BrotherDave.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10068605.post-110545906813814114</id><published>2005-01-11T09:57:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-01-11T07:57:48.136-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Is God here ? or up there somewhere ?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Dear Truth seekers and Truth finders,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;This significant quote is supernally profound on where our loving Father God is:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;"First, we worship God because&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;HE IS; then because&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;HE IS IN US;  and finally because&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;WE ARE IN HIM"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;(Note:this paraphrased quote is public domain and is free to share)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;God is fully Transcendent and Lives on and in infinite Paradise; and He has freely bestowed an individualized super-spirit portion of Himself to be the nucleus of the more enduring You as soul; and this same Spirit-plus of God now indwells your mind.
