Introduction

eing led by the Holy Spirit, as a Christian Prophet ordained by God and by man through World

Christianship Ministries, I wanted to re-examine a lot of terminology that is mistaught in modern Christian churches, throughout America and the World. Much of this terminology paints a very distorted view of whom God really is, as a separtistic, segregated God which is mutually exclusive to only a few and not the God who loves everyone and includes ALL of humanity in His plan for salvation. Segregated teachings in Christian churches have set a poor foundation for the faith and has lead many astray. When things stop working in modern day times this calls for a re-evaluation of current teachings in the Christian church. This study guide looks at words and their meanings as man states and what is actually stated in Hebrew and Greek. It is my goal to help clarify how we view the true living God we serve and to stimulate humanity to look deeply at what messages we are being spiritually fed and swallowing and then what it will produce. It is my desire to share this study guide for anyone Christian and non-Christian, for ALL of those who have ears to hear, mind to perceive and a heart to understand. In short summary this is a look at Universal salvation for ALL.

People, Religious leaders

SUMMARY: Throughout the Old Testament and New Testament in the Bible God revealed Himself as a savior or salvation. Let’s focus on a few verses to examine. In EX. 15: 2, IS. 12: 2, 3 and JOHN 7: 37, 38. God reveals Himself to Moses, Isaiah and through Jesus Himself as savior. Jesus refers back to these two scriptures stated by Moses and Isaiah. So God revealed Himself as Jesus. Jesus in Greek is Ionesus and in the Hebrew and Aramaic it is Yeshua. Yeshua meaning God saves, salvation, savior, redeemer, messiah, anointed . Adding that in JOHN 10:36 Jesus revealed to His disciples, the Jewish people and to the religious leaders that He was the Messiah. In MAT. 16: 15 to 17, JOHN 6: 68, 69 Jesus states a fact that only the Father could have revealed to Peter that He/ Jesus is the Messiah/ Savior. Also later in John he speaks to the apostles about this fact.

Chapter Two

Is God a trinity being?

TRINITY –TERM NOT FOUND IN BIBLE SCRIPTURE The Oxford 2010 dictionary defines TRINITY as… In Christianity it is the union of Father, Son and the Holy Spirit as one God. A group of three people or things as one.

Why does man use this term in referring to God as being 3 distinct beings as, (GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT) yet as one? Is God a single being or more then that, as a TRI-TRIPLICATED being, meaning God works in groups of threes throughout historical time to display His personality and to communicate with humanity.

DEUT. 4: 35, 39 35. Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightiest know that the Lord he is God, there is none else beside him. 39. Know therefore this day and consider it in thy heart, that the Lord he is God of heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.

DEUT. 6: 4 Hear O’ Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord.

2 KINGS 19: 15 And Hezekiah prayed before the Lord, and said, O Lord God of Israel, which dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of all the earth, thou hast made heaven and earth.

PS.71:22 …. O thou Holy One of Israel.

IS.5: 19, 24. IS. 10: 17, 20 IS. 12: 6, IS. 17: 7, IS. 30: 11, 12, 15, IS. 31: 1, IS. 41: 14, 20 IS. 43:3, 14, 15 IS. 45: 11,12 IS.47: 4, IS. 48: 17, IS. 49: 7, 26, IS. 54: 5, IS. 55: 5, IS. 60: 9, 14, 16

13

……Holy One of Israel

IS. 44: 6 Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts, I am the first, and the last, and beside me there is no God.

IS. 45: 5 TO 7 5. I am the Lord and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: 6. That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord and there is none else, 7. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

JER. 50:29, JER. 51: 5 ….the Holy One of Israel.

EZEK. 39: 7 …..I am the Lord. The Holy One in Israel.

DAN. 4: 17 … the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.

HOS.11: 9 ….I am God, and not man. The Holy One…

HAB. 3: 3 …. The Holy One,,,,

MARK 12: 29, 32, 34 29. And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is One Lord: 32. And the scribe said unto him, Well master, thou hast said the truth: for there is One God, and there is none other but he. 34. And when Jesus saw he answered discreetly. He said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any questions.

LUKE 4: 34 …. I know thee, who thou art, the Holy One of God. (JESUS AS THE HOLY ONE).

ACTS 2:27, ACTS 3: 14, ACTS 13: 35 ….Holy One…..(JESUS AS THE HOLY ONE)

ROM. 12: 5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another,

1 COR. 8: 4, 6 4 and that here is none other God but one. 6. But TO us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him, and one Lord Jesus, by whom are all things, and we by him.

1 COR. 12: 11 TO 14 11. But all these worketh that one and selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. 12. For as the body is one, and hath many members and all the members of that one body , being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13. For by one Spirit we are all baptized, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free, and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14. For the body is not one member, but many.

GAL. 3: 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

EPH. 1: 4, 5 4. According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that

14

we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5. Having predestined us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will.

EPH. 4: 5, 6 5. One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6. One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all and in you all.

COL: 2: 10 10. For in him dwelleth all the fullness the Godhead bodily.

1 TIM. 2: 5 For there is one God , and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.

JAMES 2: 19 Thou believest that there is one God , thou doest well: the devils also believe and tremble.

1 JOHN 5: 7, 8 7. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood, and these three agree in one.

REV. 1: 8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was and which is to come, the Almighty.

15

Chapter Three

If God is one then where does Jesus and The Christ fit into the plan of God?

SUMMARY: God is One God, He is the Head and He has a body whereas, there are many parts of his body just like a human body. The church flowing in union with the Head is ONE.

This is represented by the body and its parts, including His personality which signify who He is. Without the revealed nature of Yah-shua/Jesus- God saves, which is a manifestation of God’s image with flesh, blood, water and the Holy Ghost joined as one, redemption for sinful man would not have occurred. Yes, Jesus as a neck is the enjoining of the head to the body and its many parts to be ONE God. It is the Holy Spirit of God that is the life giving flow of the body and the Head, which gives personality, energy and vigor including diversity and flavor which includes all the individual church body members.

It was God’s designed plan that Man that had no choice in Adam’s birth which brought law, death and sin and man has had no choice in Jesus’ birth which brought love, life, righteousness and freedom through the blood sacrifice. This plan of God, who is love, encompassed Jesus, ultimate love given by the Father for ALL of mankind. Through this plan God closed the gap between sinning mankind and deity God. This brings about a true universal reconciliation and a universal salvation between God and man andit is not just for some but given to ALL of mankind.

NOTE: This is discussed more in the judgment and resurrection sections of this study.

Jesus redeeming sacrifice joined the head/God and the body/Church together causing us to operate as one single functioning unit as ONE God, as long as we operate in the flow of the Holy Spirit being led by God we are sons and daughters of God. Yes, God does manifest himself in threes throughout bible but he operates in all numbers as well, which all have spiritual meanings such as,

1.unity, primacy, 2.division, witness, 3.divine perfection or completeness, 4.fullness of creation, change 5.grace, God’s goodness, 6.man, mans wisdom and labor, 7.spiritual perfection of God . to elaborate…… God created the earth and rested in 7 days, Abraham had 7 ewe lambs , the 7 daughters of Mideon, 7 churches, 7 spirits of God etc… .8.new birth, new creation, new beginnings, 9.gifts of God, judgment, 10. fullness of law and responsibility, 12.divine government, 13. Rebellion, depravity, 14.deliverance, salvation, 15.rest, 16.love, 17.victory, 18.bondage, 19.faith, 20.redemption, 21.exceeding sinfulness of sin, 22.light, 23.death, 24.priesthood, 25.forgiveness of sin, 26.gospel of Christ, 27.preaching the gospel, 28.eternal life, 29.departure, 30. Blood of Christ, dedication, spiritual maturity, 31.offspring, 32.covenant,

16

33.promise, 34.naming of a son, 35.hope, 36.enemy, 37.Jesus, as the Word of God, 38.slavery, 39.infirmity,disease,weakness, 40.trials, probation, testings,

42.mans opposition to God, antichrist, 45.preservation, 46.herod’s temple, man without the Holy Spirit, 49.jubilee, 50.Pentecost, Holy Spirit, Jubilee, 51.divine revelation, peace, 52.building wall around Jerusalem, 60.pride, 65.apostasy, 66.idol worship, 70.universality, restoration of ALL things, 76.cleansing or blotting out, 100.God’s election of grace, children of promise, 119.the call to resurrection (yet falling short), 120.probationary period awaiting the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, those who await, 144.the first resurrection saints, 153.the sons of God, 200.insufficiency, 210.time of Jacobs trouble (see 21),

220.light (see 22), 276.the flesh, satan, Babylon, 390.no king in Israel (see 39), 414. Cursed time, 434. Judged time, 490. Blessed time see 49)….. all these numbers taken from The Significance of Numbers by Stephen Jones www.dimensionsoftruth.org

These numbers are illustrations of how God communicates with man as He manifests Himself throughout Bible history. These forms of communication to mankind is termed as revealings, unfoldings or comings of God as well, such as the second coming of Jesus.

NOTE: The word COME and its meanings is multifaceted and it is discussed in more detail later in this study.

As God continues to talk to man and reveal whom He is. We cannot box God in or limit Him in His splendor and glory which is like each individual person being a robot, God is a tri-triplicated spiritual being, nothing is impossible to God. This does not limit God because He does things in his timing according to His divine plan. God has been, is and is to come always revealing various personality traits of His character and in so doing He also reveals His divine plan for mankind and Himself as ONE cooperate unit working together. As His kingdom is established on and in earth, Lets dig a little deeper in discovery of God’s personality.

Chapter Four

What does the Godhead Mean?

GODHEAD (3 TIMES USED) NO OLD TESTAMENT TERMS USED & ALL TERMS GIVEN The Oxford 2010 dictionary defines GODHEAD as… In Christian religion it means God, includes the Father, the Son, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

NEW TESTAMENT MEANING

THEIOS (1 X USED) DIVINITY, DIVINE, GODHEAD, GODLIKE

THEIOTES (1 X USED) SAME AS ABOVE

THEOTES (1 X USED) SAME AS ABOVE

GEN. 1: 26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion 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. NOTE: If mankind was as God’s image, likeness then we were hidden in His thoughts(head/mind) and in His body along with Jesus , therefore we were in the foundations with God as He created mankind.

JOHN 17: 21 to 26 21. That they all may be one as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22. And the glory thou gavest me I have given them, that they may be one even as we are one: 23. I in them and thou in me, that they maybe made perfect in one, and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. 24. Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. 25. O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. 26. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

ACTS 17: 28, 29 28. For in Him we live, and move, and have our being, as certain also of our own poets have said. For we are also his off spring. 29. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, e ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.

ROMANS 1:20 For the invisible things from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and his Godhead, so that they

19

are without excuse.

COL. 1: 27……Christ in you, the hope of glory

COL.2: 9 For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.

HEB. 7: 9, 10 9. And as I may say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, paid tithes in Abraham. 10. For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.

SUMMARY: The Godhead is coming into a full understanding that all of humanity were hidden in God when God the Creator formed everything before the foundation of the world. Throughout time God has revealed different parts of Her/His personality to gently reveal more about who She/He is and in so doing the designed plan for humanity is revealed. God is the head and the church operating with Jesus as a guide for moral example is the body working cooperatively together on this earth to dwell as God and with God in manifesting Her/His glory to cover the earth as his kingdom reigns forever and without end. When mature sons and daughters are birthed and the manifestation of the Holy Spirit is revealed those mature children operating as the apostles of old, will bear fruit as true believers with a lifestyle that emulates Christ. They will only move out as God directs. They are the church builders who will also evangelize, teach, preach, prophesy, and do miracles in Jesus name covered by the blood and bring glory to the Creator. This is the complete Godhead, as one unit works together to be as one in God.

Chapter Five

What does the sovereignty of God mean? What does the sovereignty of god mean? Does sovereignty mean god is universal which incorporates the spiritual and the temporal or natural?

GOD’S SOVEREIGNTY- TERM NOT FOUND IN THE BIBLE The Oxford 2010 dictionary defines SOVEREIGNTY as. to have complete freedom and power to govern a country and people.

GEN. 45: 7, 8 7. And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your

lives by a great deliverance. 8. So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharoah, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.

GEN. 50: 20 But as for me you thought evil against me, but God meant it unto the good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

EX. 7: 1 - 5 1. And the Lord said unto Moses, See I have made thee a god to Pharoah: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet. 2. Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharoah, that he send the children of Israel out of his land. 3. And I will harden Pharoah’s heart, and multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt. 4. But Pharoah shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand on Egypt, and bring forth mine

21

armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgements. 5. And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch forth my hand on Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.

DEUT. 29: 2 TO 4 2. And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharoah, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land, 3. The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles: 4. Yet the Lord hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto his day.

1 CHRON. 29: 11, 12, 13 11. Thine O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine, thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all. 12. Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all, and in thine hand is power and might, and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. 13. Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name.

1 SAM 2: 6 - 8 6. The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up. 7. The Lord maketh poor , and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. 8. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillar’s of the earth are the Lord’s and he hath set the world upon them.

2 SAM. 24: 1 And again the anger was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah. 1CHRON. 21:4 And Saten stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel. JOB 1: 21 Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away: blessed be the name of the Lord.

JOB 2: 10 But he said unto her, Thou speaketh as one of the foolish women speaketh. What ? shall we receive good from God at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all of this Job did not sin with his lips.

PS. 50: 10, 11, 12 10. For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. 11. I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beast of the field are mine. 12. If I were hungry I would not tell thee: for the world is mine and the fullness thereof.

PS. 102: 12 But thou O’ Lord, shalt endure forever, and thy remembrance unto all generations.

PRO.21: 1 The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it withersoever he will.

IS. 45: 5 TO 7 5. I am the Lord and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: 6. That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord and there is none else, 7. I form the

22

light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

AMOS 3: 6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? Shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it?

MAT. 28: 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto in heaven and in earth.

JOHN 5: 27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

JOHN 13: 3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God.

ROM. 8: 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

1 COR. 15: 23 TO 28 23. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming. 24. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom of God, even the Father, when he shall put down all rule and all authority and power. 25. For he must reign, till he has put all enemies under his feet .26. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 27. For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifested that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. 28. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

REV. 11: 15 And the seventh angel sounded, and there were great voices in heaven. Saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.

REV. 22: 13 I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last

SUMMARY: God alone is sovereign and this sovereignty is self derived and comes form God alone and no one else. God is self sufficient and is owner of everything created, which is the entire heaven, everything in the heaven, the earth everything in and on the earth and under the earth. This will include man because man is created from the earth. This sovereign rulership is supreme, complete and is universal. It has no beginning or ending as man would define, for God controls everything. Jesus has had, has and will have a shared sovereignty with God till an appointed time frame. This is was seen before the foundations of the world, during the time he walked on earth, at his death, burial, resurrection, ascension into a spiritual heaven and even up till the final judgment. Currently Jesus is seated in the heavenlies with God the Father and yet He dwells inside of His disciples or His church body of true obedient believers. This sovereignty that Jesus shares he has, is in a continual submitted state till the Father completes the designed plan He has for mankind and Himself . When the final enemy, which is death is put under His foot and destroyed at or around the time of the white throne judgment God who is a love and a consuming fire will consume death, hell (tarteroo)and the grave. This is called the second death

23

in which the just will not take part in but the unjust, all fallen angels in tarteroo(hell)and anything that is Anti-Christ in nature. In this judgment ALL fallen angels will be judged as well. The Holy Spirit the life giving essence of God and has shared sovereignty with God the father, in which it has no end.

IS.59: 1 Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear.

If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 10.Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. 11. If I say, surely the darkness shall cover me, even the night shall be light unto me. 12. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee, but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

GOD IS OMNIPISIENT-ALL KNOWING

What does Authority mean?

WHAT DOES AUTHORITY MEAN? WHO HAS AUTHORITY?

AUTHOR (39 TIMES USED) (-ity, -ities ) ONLY TWO WORDS IN OLD TEST. AND MOST FREQUENT TERMS USED FROM NEW TEST.

The Oxford 2010 dictionary defines AUTHORITY as….To have official permission and the power to make decisions over people, a country or a territorial region.

OLD TESTAMENT NEW TESTAMENT MEANING

RABAH (1 X USED) BE IN AUTHORITY, TO INCREASE, ABUNDANCE, MULTIPLY

TOQEPH (1 X USED) AUTHORITY, MIGHT, STRENGTH, POWER

EXOUSIA (27 X USED) AUTHORITY, PRIVILEDGE, JURISDICTION, LIBERTY, MASTERY

AITIOS (2 X USED) BOOK OR STORY WRITER

GEN. 1: 27, 28 27. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him: male and female created he them. 28. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

GEN. 2: 7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.

EX. 19: 5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine.

EX. 22: 28 Thou shalt not revile the gods (judges), nor curse the ruler of thy people.

JOB 1: 8-12 8. And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and upright man, one that feareth God, and eskeweth evil? 9. Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? 10. Hast not thou made an hedge around him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. 11. But put forth thine hand now and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy

26

face. 12. And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power, only upon himself put not forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord.

ROM. 13: 1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher power s. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

1 COR. 15: 25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet

SUMMARY: Authority derives its source of power from God who is the higher source of power, so authority is limited and its existence is influenced and measured by God. The existence of one’s Authority does not have complete free will because all decisions that are made are influenced by God as well as other internal and /or external factors. Man has been granted limited authority by God for certain time frames and to certain degrees or levels of power. This God ordained authority is delegated from God according to Her/His plan or agenda for God’s glory and mankind. Retrospectively yet not negated or left out is man’s obedience and disobedience factors, that even God knows that persons final outcome and decisional process and this has been figured into the big plan that God holds the major blue print on. Keeping in mind that no matter how chaotic things can become throughout history God is always in control and has never lost it.

Satan/Principalities/Powers and Dominions in High dark Places all have limited authority for a time frame. Because God has created all of these beings God uses them for Her/His glory according to God’s designed plan. All of these beings, including Death/Grave and Hell (Tarteroo) are to be looked at as defeated foes by the true disciples or children of God due the atoning blood sacrifice of Jesus. All of these beings have no power over the true disciples or children of God because they are covered by the blood of the sacrificial lamb/ Jesus. Many times it mans limited authority used for selfish purposes along with the works of man’s flesh, greed, covetousness and pride that destroys themselves and other human beings and causes downfall and destruction. Even these evil actions and intentions are still in God’s designed plan and will eventually be used for the ultimate good after both resurrections come.

What is Free Will?

FREE (98 TIMES USED) (-d, -dom, -ly, -man, -will, -woman) MOST FREQUENT TERMS USED THE Oxford 2010 dictionary defines FREE WILL as…the power to make your own decisions without being controlled by God or fate.


NEDADAH (18 X USED) FREE WILL OFFERRING, ABUNDANT GIFT, VOLUNTARY

CHOPHSHIY (16 X USED) FREE, EXEMPT FROM ANY BONDAGE, IE.. TAX OR CARE

PAGE. 16

NEDAB (2 X USED) TO BE OR GIVE FREELY, WILLINGLY, LIBERALLY

ELEUTHEROS (25 X USED) FREE MAN OR WOMAN, NOT A SLAVE

LEV.25: 8 TO 10, 39 TO 41, 53 TO 55 8. And thou shalt number seven Sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years, and the space of the seven Sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years. 9. Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all the land. 10. And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family. 39. And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee, thou shall not compel him to serve as a bondservant. 40. But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner , he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of jubilee. 41. And then shall he depart from thee, both

28

he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return. 53. And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigor over him in thy sight. 54. And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, both he, and his children with him. 55. For unto me the children of Israel are servants, they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

EZRA 7: 13 I make a decree, that all they of the people of Israel, and of his priests and Levites, in my realm, which are minded of their own freewill to go up to Jerusalem, go with thee.

JOHN 8: 32TO 36 32. And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 33. They answered him, We be Abrahams seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 34. Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 35. And the servant abideth not in the house forever: but he Son abideth forever. 36. If the Son therefore shall make thee free, ye shall be free indeed.

ROM. 6: 7 TO 11, 18 TO 23 7. For he that is dead is freed from sin. 8. Now if ye be with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. 9. Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more, death hath no dominion over him. 10. For in that he died unto sin once: but but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 11. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive through Jesus Christ our Lord. 18. Being then made free form sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. 19. I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity, even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. 20. For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. 21. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. 22. But now being made free form sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 23. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ.

ROM. 8: 28 TO 30 28. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29. For him he did foreknow, he also he did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified, them he also glorified.

GAL. 5: 1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

EPH. 1: 5, 11 5. Having predestined us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will. 11. In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

29

1 COR. 7: 22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord’s freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ’s servant.

SUMMARY: FREE WILL is a complete form of power encompassed in sovereignty. It is having the ability to make choices not dependant on any internal or external factor. Only God has this ability and man does not. Human man is born into financial debt as a consumer and then acquires financial debt as he lives and even upon death will be consumer with whatever burial process he embarks on. There is no free man that can exhibit free will decision or choice when there are many controlling factors in his decision making process. Presently in modern times, when we move in the liberty of the spirit of freedom, willingness to serve, obedience and love we are free to be used as his sons and daughters to be miracle makers for God’s glory. As His children and servants we are directed by the Holy Spirit and are receptive to His leading and to the rewards of being in HIs presence. This is true mature love in action. Futuristically speaking, when we are given gloried resurrected bodies as Jesus in the first resurrection we are free. Not until the second resurrection which is at the judgment when the last enemy, death is placed under God’s feet then ALL of humanity is changed and in these glorified bodies we will experience compete freedom for all of mankind in this earth as God planned it so that His glory will cover the earth in a people.

Out of love for Jesus this woman dared with boldness to come uninvited into the Pharisee Simon’s home at his dinner party. To demonstrate her love and appreciation for Jesus she entered in to wash Jesus feet with her tears and dry them with her hair while kissing his feet then to anoint them with a precious ointment. Upon being rebuked by Simon, Jesus tells a simple story to Simon about a man who was a creditor to two other men. Both owing this creditor money, one owed more then the other but the creditor forgave both of these men’s debts that they owed him. Jesus asked Simon out of these two men who would love this creditor more and Simon answered, it would be the man who owed the larger debt. So it was with this woman who had many sins that Jesus forgave and commented. V.50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith have saved thee, go in peace.

FAITH GROWS MIGHTILY MAT. 13: 31,32 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, the kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: 32. Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown , it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

MARK 4: 30, 31, 32 30. And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what comparison shall we compare it? 31. It is like a grain of mustard seed, which , when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: 32. But when it is sown, it growth up, and becometh greater then all the herbs , and shooteth out great branches, so that the fowls of the air may lodge may lodge under the shadow of it.

35

MARK 8:24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

DEUT. 20: 19…..(for the tree of the field is man’s life)……

LUKE 13: 18, 19 then said he, unto what is the kingdom of God like? And whereunto shall I resemble it? 19. It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden, and it grew, and waxed

a great tree, and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.

NOTE: In understanding faith as a mustard seed we must see and think as Gods sees and thinks of faith applied in our lives. It is not with a natural understanding but with a spiritual one.

MAT. 13: 54 TO 58 54. And when he was come into his own country , he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence has this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? 55. Is not this the carpenters son? Is not his mother called Mary? And

37

his brethren, James,and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? 56. And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath his man all these things? 57. And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them , A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. 58. And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

MARK 6: 1 TO 6 1. And he went out thence, and he came into his own country, and his disciples follow him. 2. And when the Sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? And what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? 3. Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda and Simon: and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. 4. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. 5. And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. 6. And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.

NOTE: FAITH IS POWERFUL……If we have faith great miracles can occur if we lack faith no miracle or healing will occur. If faith is misplaced things will occur either in the positive or negative. EXAMPLE… If a person BELIEVES they will contract diabetes or heart problems due to their parents and family having these types of problems then this can and will occur. Some would say this is a generational curse but God’s word says differently…

EZEK 18: 20, 21 20. The soul that sinneth it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father , neither shall the father shall bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. 21. But is the wicked shall turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

1 COR. 15: 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

NOTE: here is a rich young ruler who found his consolation in his riches and not in God. An opposing story is as follows:

MAT. 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If you have faith the size of a mustard seed , ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove, and nothing shall be impossible unto You.

LUKE 17: 5 And the Lord said, If ye had faith the size of a mustard seed, ye might say unto the sycamine tree, be thou plucked up by the root and be thou planted into the se, and it shall obey you.

HEB. 11: 1, 3 1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

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.

ROMANS 10: 17 So that faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

JOHN 10: 14 TO 16, 27 14. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and I am known of mine. 15. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. 27. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them and they follow me.

NOTE: HEARING EXAMPLE …….MAT. 9: 27 TO 30 27. And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28. And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them , believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29. Then touched he their eyes, saying According to your faith be it unto you. 30. And their eyes were opened, and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, see that no man know it.

My question is how do blind men follow Jesus in crowds of people when they cannot see, they do not have any blind guide dogs or high tech devices to point them to Jesus? Also how can blind men exhibit faith for healing unless they see or understand something far greater then we people with all functioning senses see or understand? Here faith and hearing the voice of God is paramount in following Jesus and believing by faith in receiving this healing for their sight. How can this happen? Let’s look at more scripture to help comprehend the answer.

1 KINGS 17: 4, 9 4. And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. 9. Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain you.

Elijah was trusting, relying on, placing complete trust and faith in God as he wandered in the wilderness. He knew with full confidence that Gods word is true and if God said he spoke or commanded the birds and the widow to feed him it would occur. This is complete faith and

reliance on God.

NOTE: The two blind men and woman who cared for Elijah exhibited faith through hearing or understanding faith by a spoken commanded word from God planted into the heart or into the good soil. This comes about by reading the word of God and seeking God’s face to understand Him in a fuller manner. The healing and sustenance comes as we develop relationship with God as He speaks to our heart bringing about conviction.

United Church of God www.gnmagazine.org (note: this ministry does not believe in hell and heaven as the modern Christian church teaches but they do believe in salvation is limited for some and this is shown at the final judgment when they feel all those souls who have not accepted Jesus will burn in the lake of fire---this teaching is contrary to the word of God whereas, my study proves this that all men shall be saved) I use this organization to prove a point that the heaven \hell teaching has been mistaught in which it dooms a soul to an everlasting torture and this is not true.
