Hi WOs Gen 1:3 And God said...let there be light and there was light... God's spoken word created light Gen 1:6 And God said...Let there be a firmament (7) and it was so God's spoken word created firmament Gen 1:9 And God said, ..let the dry land appear..and it was so God's spoken word created waters, land Gen 1:11 And God said...Let the earth bring forth..and it was so. God's spoken word created a producing earth Gen 1:14 And God said...Let them be for lights..for day and night..signs and seasons (15) and it was so God's spoken word created these also Gen 1:20 And God said...Let the water bring forth abundantly..moving creatures that has life..fowl, whales, every living creature that moves, winged fowl... (24) and it was so God created all these with his spoken word Gen 1:24 And God said...Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, creeping thing, beast,...and it was so God created these things with his spoken word Gen 1:27 And God said...Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish, sea, fowl,cattle, earth, every creep (ing) thing. And it is obvious by now that God created mankind by his spoken word, if words mean anything, except to argue with. I'm sure Mr. Hagin and Mr. Copeland would be flattered that you attributed God's words as their words, but I don't see their name mentioned there. It says clearly, to those who can read, and GOD said! Not someone else said... How can you twist the scripture to say it is a person other than God who said that? Mark 11:22 This is Jesus speaking, not some other person...Jesus said, "Have faith in God." The margin: greek...says, Have the faith OF God. Then Jesus goes on to tell you what faith is. He is the Master teacher you know, or do you? For verily (it is the truth) I (Jesus) say unto you (that is reading the text), that whosoever (that means the reader and the doer of his word)shall SAY (that means speak, say words) unto this mountain (of whatever is coming against you), Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt (what Jesus is saying to the reader) in your heart, but shall believe that those things which he SAITH (speaks in words, like God did in the beginning when he created all things with his words) shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith (you have to speak words to say something). Therefore I (Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God) SAY (speak words) unto you. what things soever you desire, when you pray (speak words to God), believe that you RECEIVE them (Heb 11:6), and you shall have them. I don't see anyone's name attached to these words of Jesus, except his own name. Are you saying he is lying? Heb 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. God didn't have wood to produce wood when he created wood. He spoke it into existence as Genesis testifies as fact, not some man's fiction and philosophy, about what God actually said. continued: |

Hi BradK, You asked: Out of curiosity, might I ask you on what basis you state, "God is grace, Jesus is Faith which produces peace?" I ask because I haven't seen that specific distinction in scripture nor have I heard it used before in such a manner:-) My reply is: For by Grace you are saved, through faith, and that not of yourself, it is the gift of God. Eph 2:8 Isn't it God, through Jesus, that saves any human being, and salvation is God's gift to mankind! John 3:16 For God so loved the world, he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. Jesus is described as "faith" in Ro 9:30-33.. What shall we say then? That the Gentiles (those people who had no covenant with God( called the nations) as did the Jews)which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righeousness, even the righteousness which is OF faith. (31) But Israel (God's covenant people), which followed after the LAW of righteousness, have not attained to the LAW of righteousness. (32) why? Because they sought it not by FAITH, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that STUMBLINGSTONE; (33) as it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a STUMBLINGSTONE and ROCK OF OFFENCE; and whosoever believes on HIM (Jesus) shall not be ashamed (margin: confounded). This verse calls faith, that stumblingstone, and rock of offence, then gives this description of faith a gender, by calling faith "him", which we know to be Jesus I Peter 2:6-8 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believed on "HIM" shall not be confounded (Isa 28:16). (7) Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, (8) and a stone of STUMBLING, and a ROCK OF OFFENCE, even to them which stumble at THE WORD being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. Peter, Paul and Mary, all knew Jesus was faith. The knew Jesus is the "Living" Word..John 1:1-4 Another evidence? Heb 12:2 Look unto Jesus the author (margin: beginner) and finisher of our faith: I say Jesus is the source, the developer, and the finisher of mankinds faith. He doesn't just have faith, he is faith, the source of all faith from God the Father. The obvious then would be that God is the Source, the developer, and the finisher, of all that he wants to do in mankind, which is his Grace. He doesn't just have some grace, he is the source of grace! In the highest sense, without a source, mankind would have nothing. Without God, we are nothing. Without God nothing, as we know this earth, knowledge, wisdom, etc., would not exist. John 16:13-15..the Spirit of Truth (the Holy Ghost) has come...he is guiding into all the truth..he says what he hears form God the Father...he shows believers things to come...He glorifies Jesus..he receives everything from Jesus and shows it to us..Jesus then said, All things that the FATHER has is MINE: therefore I said, he (the Holy Spirit) shall take of mine (which are all things that belong to the Father God. Ask yourself, what and how much that is.), and shall show it unto you. (You who? Believers!) If you can't shout about that, your knower is turned off, and your wood is to wet to catch on fire for God! :) Jesus is the "express image of God", Heb 1:3, they think, speak and do exacly alike. "When you've seen the Father, you've seen me" John 14:9 So whatever God is, Jesus is, whatever God and Jesus is, the Holy Ghost is...I John 5:7..they are one...in Spirit and in truth John 4:24...the best part is that Jesus prayed to the Father..John 17:21 That THEY (all believers corporately and individually) may be one; (how? in thought, word and deed); as you Father, are in me, and I in you, that THEY (believers in Christ) also may be one in US (God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost), EVEN AS we are one....(23) and have loved them AS you have loved me. (How did God love Jesus? Completely! In thought, word and deed! We are to love each other in thought, word and deed.) God is grace, Jesus is Faith, The Holy Spirit is the power of God. Acts 1:8 Acts acrostic: A.ctive C.hristians T.errorizing S.atan. Glory to God!!! Jesus gave us "his" peace..John 14:27-31 Always in Chirst, C.S.M. |

24 | Who are the just? What is Faith? | Rom 3:26 | C.S.M. | 157084 | ||
Hi BradK, Ro 3:26 is talking about God. Are you saying that the statement "the just shall live by faith" is talking of God? Don't you understand it to mean mankind? Ro 5:1 Says we are justified (freed) by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. God is grace, Jesus is Faith which produces peace. Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Now Jesus is the substance of things hope for, and Jesus is the evidence of things not seen. We are to Look unto Jesus the author (margin says; beginner) and finisher (completer) of our faith; Heb 12:2 To believe is to obey according to James 1:22 The real definition of faith is Heb 11:6 But without faith (Jesus) it is impossible to please (God): for he that comes to God MUST believe (1) that he is (or God exists), and (2)that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Prov 13:13 Whoso despises the word shall be destroyed: but he that fears the commanment shall be rewarded. God's word is tied to rewards. Our diligence in taking God at his word, which is his faith, his word, that becomes our faith, will be rewarded richly. Always in Christ, C.S.M. |

Steve, I am not espousing pantheism or panentheism. The point being glory used in I Cor 15:38-45, denotes the usefulness of a thing, and in this setting Paul throws into the mix "so also is the resurrection of the dead..sown in dishonor; raised in glory: sown in weakness; raised in power" You do recall the scripture that states "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are CLEARLY SEEN being understood by the THINGS THAT ARE MADE, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse." If you can understand the natural things of the earth and their relationships you can understand the Godhead, according to this scripture. You can have no excuse! That would include God's glory in the I Cor 15:38-45 passage..according to the Ro 1:20 scripture. You can't just fluff it off and say "they are different," you must discern, how and why they are different, and how it relates to the Godhead. According to this scripture, you're supposed to be able to discern clearly, and understand by THINGS THAT ARE MADE, God's eternal power AND Godhead. I hear some adjustments going on in your head... Always in Christ, C.S.M. |

Hi Steve, Ro 1:16-17 the gospel of Christ..is the power of God unto salvation..for therein is the righteousness of God REVEALED from FAITH TO FAITH: as it is WRITTEN the just shall live by faith. Luke 4:4 And Jesus answered him, saying, IT IS WRITTEN, that man shall not live by bread alone, but BY EVERY WORD OF GOD. Since the just must live by faith, and Jesus said you live by every word of God. God's word is God's faith. Always in Chirst, C.S.M. |

Hi Dorai, Lord: means supreme Authority (Greek) Jesus: means Saviour "for he shall save his people from their sins" Matt 1:21 Christ: means Messiah,the anointed one (Greek) The Lord Jesus Christ, is the supreme authority of the whole universe. He is the Saviour of all mankind, who know and believe him, who are called "his people". Christ is the miracle working power of the anointing that destroys the yoke off of his people. Isa 61:1-11, Isa 10:27, Isa 14:24-25, Isa 58:6,9 The difference? One name is placed before another saying, Christ Jesus: the anointed Saviour or Jesus Christ: The Saviour, the anointed one. Lord and Christ, are descriptive names given to Jesus describing his authority, and calling of God the Father. They are not part of his family name. They are his titles. Always in Christ, C.S.M. |

Steve, Is your thoughts, words and deeds your faith? As a man thinks in his heart so is he... Guard your heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life Be a doer of the word and not just a hearer only deceiving your own selves Do these scriptures not reveal to you that you are not a robot, and neither is God. Is mankind made in God's image? Able to think, speak and do? What is faith in your definition? How do you get there from where you are? Is your mind outside the loop? Is your words outside the loop? Are your deeds outside the loop of what faith is? Is faith a woo-woo- mystical thing no one can pin point? How can you have faith without thoughts, words and deeds? Faith without works is dead! God's word without corresponding action is dead! corresponding action is not specifically in that verse but what is works if it is not corresponding action to what God has said? The first sentence, agrees with the second, in the same light of cognitive understanding. Always in Christ, C.S.M. |

32 | When were disciples born again? | John 3:11 | C.S.M. | 157038 | ||
Hi Steve, Yes, and that was speaking of the born again experience, when Jesus came to earth. Notice the "I will" statements, are they present tense or future tense? Future! Ezek 36:25-27 The New Testament indicates the Jews were not able to perfectly obey God, neither were the Gentiles, that's all the people in the world. That is why Jesus came, to perfectly obey God, and thereby be worthy to bear the sins of all people for all time, and to create the church of believers, called the body of Christ made up of peoples out of the Jews and the Gentiles, the only pool of people that have ever been on the earth. See Eph 1:17-23, Eph 2:4-6, 10-16, I Cor 12:32. If that were not so, some would say, Jesus died in vain. However...Worthy is the Lamb! Rev 12:11 And they (believers) overcame him (who? satan) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. (12) Therefore rejoice, you heavens, and you that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, (why?), because he knows that he has but a short time. (17) And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Always in Christ, C.S.M. |

Hi Kalos, Act 10:44-46 Peter went to Cornelius's house, the Holy Ghost fell (44) the gift of the Holy Ghost was poured out(45)...how did they know he had been poured out??? (46) For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Peter then acknowledged "Can ANY MAN forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have RECEIVED the HOLY GHOST, as well as we?" What happened when Peter received the HOly Ghost? Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." If it had been the same tongue as what they were speaking to teach, there would have been no difference, they would not be able to tell if God had supernaturally done anything.Acts 11:15 And the Holy Ghost fell on them , AS ON US AT THE BEGINNING....it was the same experience they had had with the evidence of speaking in other tongues. Acts 2:4 which is the blueprint of the church, because God never changes, his word never changes, his purpose never changes... Mal 3:6 I am the Lord I change not...Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ the SAME yesterday, today, and forever...Who being the brightness of (God's) glory, and the express image of (God's) person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he (Jesus)(The express or exact image of God the Father)had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty (God the Father) on high: Mt 4:4 Man shall live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God Matt 24:35 Jesus said,Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. That's unchangable! I don't find scriptue where it is written that the Holy Spirit "always" falls on entire groups. Paul as the example was filled with the HOly Ghost as at the beginning because he said, "I thank God, I speak with tongues more than you all." He had to speak a lot if it was more than all of them put together. It had to be God, or Paul would not have exercised himself in the gift. He did write approx. two thirds of the New Testament, so he must have known something about the subject and the experience. He was by himself at the house of Ananias when he was filled with the Holy Ghost by Jesus the Baptizer in the HOly Ghost, there was no group or crowd, and was mightly used of God. Although it is not mentioned specifically in that portion of scripture, he did state, "I thank God I speak with tongues more than you all." So he must have been filled there, since the scales, fell off his eyes, and he caught on fire for God. It is called being baptized with the Holy Ghost and with fire. Acts 2:1-4, Matt 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water UNTO REPENTANCE; but he (Jesus) that comes after me is mightier than I,....he (Jesus) shall baptize you with the HOly Ghost AND with FIRE. Whether they were expecting anything or not, is not the issue, what God did in manifestation of other tongues is the issue, as Peter said, "as on us at the beginning". Always in Christ, C.S.M. |

34 | When were disciples born again? | John 3:11 | C.S.M. | 157030 | ||
Hi Bows44, The phrase "born again" does not appear until the new testament. How could they be born again? Do you mean were they accepted of God? Yes they were accepted of God, but no one was made a new creature until the dispensation of being baptized with the Holy Ghost, that God the Father gave into the realm of the Lord Jesus Christ himself, who had not come to earth in their days in "the form of a servant, (which was a physical body.) Phil 2:3-12. Eph 1:6 is the definition of Grace...God accepts us in Chirst Jesus.. It is clearly written Noah found grace (acceptance ) in the eyes of the Lord (of God) Gen 6:8 In the old testament, God is the central figure, In the new testament gospels, Jesus is the central figure, in the Acts to revelation, the Holy Spirit is the central figure to reveal God the Father, and God the Son, and their workings throughout all eternity, starting from before the foundation of the world!!! The scriptures have, through the centuries, all been put into one basket, shaken together, and then poured out in confusion. We are admonished to seperate and rightly divide the word of truth. To do that we have to seperate the time frames God did certain things, for certain reasons, and then see how they all mesh together for one complete picture of God's plan for the ages, individually and then corporately. Certain things only applied in the old testament, certain in the new, and certain in the future. So if anyone tries to force one area into another it will always confuse. Always in Chirst, C.S.M. |

Hi Bows44, No, not necessary "for" savation, salvation has already taken place or it would be useless to be baptized in water. You would just go down a dry sinner and come up a wet sinner. Remember Johns baptism, was the baptism of "repentance" toward God, and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. That's what has to happen to sinners, to become believers. After they become believers, then as Jesus said about his own baptism, "thus it behooves us to fulfil all righteousness." So water baptism, after salvation, is the fulfilled will of God and his righteousness in that area. Always in Christ, C.S.M. |

38 | What is the OT role of the Holy Spirit? | John 3:11 | C.S.M. | 157026 | ||
Hi SBoone, Ezek 36:26-27 is the clincher on the prior note I sent to you. Notice the phrase "I will put my spirit 'within' you", for at the time he was only upon them, they had hard hearts, they needed a new spirit, they needed to be "born again". When did that happen? After Jesus was glorified, and the Holy Spirit came to guide mankind into all the truth concerning God the Father, God the Son and God the HOly Spirit. We were made "new creatures" in Christ II Cor 5:17, Gal 6:15, we were what is called born again, and as Ezek said, "a new spirit will I put within you" speaking of the human spirit, by the HOly Spirit, because he then says "I will put my spirit within you." So we see the process God would use to cause a person to be born again, become new creatures in Christ, and then be filled with the HOly Spirit, instead of him just being upon, he would be within. We also see it is only by the work of Jesus himself that a person is baptized with the Holy Spirit. That job cannot be done by anyone else, God gave Jesus alone that job. Does that mean when you are born again you do not have the HOly Spirit. No, it is the HOly Spirit that baptizes people into the body of Chirst. I Cor 12:13, but it is Jesus that Baptizes with the HOly Ghost for ministry, and power. Acts 1:8, Acts 2:4 Always in Christ, C.S.M. |

39 | What is the OT role of the Holy Spirit? | John 3:11 | C.S.M. | 157025 | ||
Hi SBoone, You recall that in the old testament prophets, priests and kings were "anointed". That was the type of the Holy Spirit. Recall that the anointing oil was a blend, commanded of God, to be used only for the anointing of the prophet, priest and king. Anyone else who would attempt to use it for any other purpose was forbidden, by the Father. The Holy Spirit "came upon", but not into, "to abide forever", the prophet, priest and King. In the new dispensation, the Holy Spirit is, "within the believer, to abide forever." David was well aware of the Holy Spirits presence with him and upon him, and yes he did say, take not your Holy Spirit from me. You also recall that John 1:33 says that "Jesus is the Baptizer in the Holy Spirit." Jesus had not come to earth in a physical, man, form, as yet and the Holy Spirit had not "yet" been given, because Jesus had not "yet" been glorified.John 8:38-39 You recall where Jesus first baptized anyone with the Holy Ghost. Acts 1:4-5, 8, Acts 2:4, and who it was for Acts 2:29-33, 39 Being glorified, is speaking of his death, burial, resurrection, and seating at God's right hand, to ever interceed for you and me, and his coming again, in our future. John 8:38-39 Always in Christ, C.S.M. |

Hi Steve, If God had not spoken, you would not know, if you did not know how God thinks, you would not know God's standards, if you did not know God's standards you would have no idea what to believe, and if you did not know what to believe how would you know what faith is? God's faith is God's thoughts words and deeds reduced to writing so we can know Him! He is faith, he doesn't just have faith! His written word is his faith, written down, who he is, what he wants, and how we get there from here. Yes being a doer of the word is the key. James 1:22 Be ye doers of the word and not hearers only deceiveing YOUR OWN SELVES. You realize there are two deceivers in the world, satan and those who do not do the word of God! Sorry for the misunderstanding. Always in Christ, C.S.M. |
