The Truth About (some so-called) Science:
Topical Commentaries:
Principles of God:
Principal No. 1:
Discourse No. 1 of 2: ‘God Created All Natural Things.’
These are the true and indisputable accounts of truth, science, and history, with the principles of truth in God, in the Christian Bible (Both the Old Testament and the New Testament).
The Scientific Beginning Of Creation:
Opening statement of truth:
God did not create all natural things from absolutely nothing. But from ‘something’ from Infinity:
Hebrews 11:3:
3) “Through faith we understand that the worlds (everything in the universe) were framed (from ‘something’) by the 'Word' of God, so that things which are seen (detectable by any past, current, of future scientific means ever available to natural science, or by our senses, or other natural perception) were not made of things which do appear.”
That is undeniably the scientific truth of the origin of all things within the realm of natural science. It is summed up briefly in Genesis 1:1, and more detail may be found in:
John 1:1-3:
1) “In the beginning was the 'Word', and the 'Word' was with God, and 'Word was God' (the Son).
2) “The Same was in the beginning 'with God' (the Father).
3) “All things were made by Him (the Word, at the command of the Father); and without Him was not any thing made that was made.”
How do I get it that the ‘Word’ was God the Son; and how do we know that the Son was God?
John 1:10-11:
10) “He (the Word, Jesus, God the Son in flesh) was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not.
11) “He came unto His own (the Jews, Israel, the ‘circumcision’: Deuteronomy 18:18-19), and His own received Him not.
John 1:14:
14) “And the 'Word' was made flesh (Matthew 1:18; Galatians 4:4; Hebrews 10:5), and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
Hebrews 10:5. When Jesus came into the world from the Father, He came into a body of flesh:
5) "Wherefore when He cometh into the world, He (God the Son) saith (to God Jehovah, the Father), 'Sacrifice and offering (for the sins of the people) Thou wouldest not (receive to take away their sins), but a body hast Thou prepared Me (to offer up unto Thee, which Thou wilt receive, that it shall take away the sins of all that will come to Thee by believing in Me for the taking away of their sins of their past):'." (See Matthew 1:18, with Galatians 4:4)
For other references read John 1:4-9, 12-13, 15-17; Hebrews 1:1-3; Hebrews 11:3, and see the plural reference to God in Genesis 1:26-27, and in Genesis 11:7: God the Father, God the Word (Son), and God the Holy Ghost (‘Spirit of truth’, “Spirit of God’, ‘Spirit’): found in I John 5:7.
The physical law of matter is, that matter can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be converted into another form of matter, which forms are: solids, liquids, gasses, or (as was later added) energy.
God did not violate the physical laws of natural science (which He alone designed, as He made the universe, by those laws, and before time began within the universe), as do the ‘learned’ men of our age, who say that there was a ‘node’, or a ‘seed’, or a ‘something’, which burst into the universe (they call it the ‘big bang’ theory), becoming what it is today; thus, by their theory (which is completely false, and deceptive, having no realistic basis for the origin of all matter; and if I go further on this point, I will be talking in circles, as do those ‘scientists’, who are in no way willing, or I may even say, ‘capable’ of understanding the origin of matter, and of the scientific natural laws, which also cannot originate by themselves, but must have an origin as well, and an Originator, just like the universe: space, and the tangible and intangible things that are within it.), they have indeed violated that scientific law of the origin of physical matter.
Then there is the major consideration of ‘space’ into which to put a universe, with its great expanse, and so much distance to its outer boundary (if indeed it has a boundary, which should also be considered, since God made it, and ‘with God all things are possible.’).
How would there be a ‘space’? Would there not be a need then for a ‘place’ in which to put ‘space’?
That’s not double-speak. It’s scientific reality. No place, no space; no space, no universe.
Then we have to go on from there, to the next consideration:
Scientific matter, elements, particles, living organisms, the senses, thought, emotions, affection, desire, hope, love, hate, reason, time, motion, forces, pressure (negative and positive), energy (human and machine), mathematics, fear, understanding, grief, joy, motor activity of the heart and of the mind, while we sleep, with breathing when we are asleep or unconscious, anger, suspicion, orbits, heat, cold, life, human reproduction, dreams, anxiety, frustration, skills an abilities, and the list goes on and on, of both tangible and intangible ‘scientific’ things in the universe.
None of these things could just 'come to be'.
Let’s get real, fellow humans! We can’t just imagine that something came to be on its own. I would call that ‘ridiculous beyond comparative reasoning’, to even tolerate such an outlandish theory, but that is the story we have been hearing from ‘learned minds’ from many universities and other ’highly educated’ sources, over so long a time.
Therefore, because I believe you men of great learning have not been able, by sound reasoning, and in all practicality, to figure it all out yet, I intend to tell you the truth of the whole matter, in great detail; and that will be the way it is recorded in the greatest Book of the highest intelligence that ever could even be imagined by the finite wisdom of the natural mind of the carnal man: for it is the true, and only reasonable reality, by which all things occurred, both before time, and in, time, which is only relevant to the universe, and to the sphere of natural science.
And the reason I am going to tell you the truth is because the true Maker and Ruler of the universe, and of every other sphere of any existence, Jehovah God, (Whose habitat is Infinity, which is totally of spirit, the only ‘real’, for the universe is but a passing shadow of that real sphere of the highest science, Infinity: far beyond that which all scientists of every age, collectively, could ever attain; and Infinity, having no natural elements, particles, or substance within it, and no ‘natural’ laws, that Sphere of Infinity which is the reality zone of all knowledge and power), even that One and only all-powerful perfect, and ever-present God, Jehovah, as well as I, truly love every person which He has made; the first man, Adam, who was made by the loving hand of a that all-powerful and loving God, Who breathed into the man (which was made of earth, and converted into flesh, blood and bone, as designed by the Father), the breath (spirit of life), and man became a living and eternal soul: And the rest of humanity was made by God’s principle of procreation, to be born exactly as the first man (after his kind) continuously, for as long as man would be upon the earth: man was made after God’s own image, and after God’s own likeness.
However, man, Adam, through transgression of the law of God (which was ‘sin’: I John 3:4), lost the ‘likeness’ (holiness, righteousness) of God, that sin nature now being, through procreation, throughout all generations of the flesh of Adam’s bloodline, inherited within the flesh of all mankind.
Therefore, as we shall discuss fully later, man must be redeemed from his personal sins, that he may return to the God that made him. And God had prepared that redemption of the soul of the sinful man, that is, all mankind, who, by inheriting the sinful flesh of Adam, are in sinful flesh.
And that is the reason that some of us know the truth of the things which God made, and others have to make up impossible stories, theories, and other imagined things of man, which are in direct opposition to the things of God, and blatantly rule out His posture in the things that be, thus eliminating Him from all involvements from which man benefits. And too often, these ridiculous ‘theories’ are made to justify themselves in life without God (which is impossible).
‘Science’ has even invented ‘space aliens’, ‘visitors from other planets’, ‘extraterrestrials’, ‘giants’, which they have yet to produce conclusive evidence of such wild wanderings of otherwise (possibly) great minds, and will never find such evidence, for there is absolutely no purpose or principle for such beings in the plan of God.
I also hear specific references which declaratively annotate the non-existence of God, in those same delusions, which are not at all true, for within those dreamy wanderings of supposedly high minds of science, they who dream such things also make their best efforts to replace or destroy the true validity of the Christian Bible, when they speak of ‘extraterrestrials’ coming to the prophets, and other great patriarchs of the scriptures, and the prophets thinking they are God, or Jesus, or angels.
Now it is beyond delusions. It is a lie. And the devil is behind it, because he was the original liar; and he is the father of all liars, and the works of their father (the devil) they will do: therefore, he’s obviously still at it today.
All I can say to all of those ‘pipe-dreamers’ is this: ‘When you see God, and Jesus, and the angels, and eternity, and hell, and the lake of fire, only then will reality hit you like a ton of falling bricks.’ (See your own fate in Revelation 20:11-15: also II Peter 2:1-9, and read about yourselves, and your fate that awaits all wicked, perverse and evil-speakers of Infinite things.)
But then it will be too late for sound reasoning on a higher plane that you never thought existed, and kept your mind within the narrow corridors of the limitations of natural science.
And that tells me that you aren’t realists, or true scientists in the first place, because a realist, and a true scientist would have searched out the science which is beyond natural science, as it is given to you to explore, and verify, in whatever dimension, sphere or region of science it might be, and, if you studied it as I have, you will no longer need to create theories and lies, for your deception and delusion, for you, too could discover the things which I have truly and scientifically stated in these disclosures of truth according to God Jehovah.
Why spend many trillions of dollars, and hundreds of millions of hours, in search of another civilization out there in space somewhere (which does not even exist), whom you hope have developed a much greater knowledge of science than ourselves?
It isn’t there. And it won’t ever be there.
But thank God that you men and women of science have searched other things right here on earth, which greatly benefit man in many ways: that was money and time well-spent.
But to chase your tails through space, looking for other beings, is not so smart; because, if you knew God, and knew the Bible, both of which seem to be your weakest (and thereby, your failing) course in all your studies, you, too, could know what I know; because the reason God made the universe was to house man upon the earth; for God wanted man to become His family.
And many millions more will.
Those are the wise, and the smart ones, because they shall inherit eternal life, in a new heaven and a new earth, which must, and will be made (Revelation 21:1-7); for in eternity, only those things which are not of a physical nature will be there.
All material things will pass away, as the shadow they are, as compared to the new heaven and the new earth. (II Peter 3:10-12; Revelation 20:11)
How do I know? Because God said all of these things which I write in His own word, by the prophets, and by the apostles, as they were commanded to write those things that He commanded them.
II Timothy 3:16-17:
16) “All scripture is given by (specific and concise) inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17) “That the man (son, by faith in Christ) of God may be perfect (in the sight of God), thoroughly furnished unto every good work (of ‘faith, which worketh by love.’: Galatians 5:6b).”
(See also: II Peter 1:16, 20-21)
And those wonderful pictures of the beauty of space far beyond our fixed telescopes, which actually is out there to declare to each and every citizen of the earth the greatness of Jehovah God, right down to the finer points, such as, ‘even His eternal power and Godhead.’
(Romans 1:18-20) And in the book of Job, he talks much about the astronomical things which were known in his day, which things were, for the most part, carried forth to this very hour.

Whoever you are: God loves you; love Him back!
Allan Thomasson, humble and faithful servant of my Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, and of all my sisters and brothers, who have believed
in Him unto the salvation of their eternal souls, of every nation, and of every evangelical denomination. Remember that we love you, too, and we want you most of all to go into eternity with us when all these things shall pass away:
Matthew 24:35: Jesus spoke this of heaven and earth:
35) “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My works shall not pass away.”
II Peter 3:10-14: The apostle (Peter, which is one of the total of twelve apostles) wrote this:
10) “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief (comes) in the night; in the which (day) the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Revelation 20:11: John, the last living apostle, wrote this:
11) “And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from Whose face the earth and the heaven (the whole natural universe) fled away; and there was found no (more a) place for them (for they had now served their purpose).”
And immediately after that, God judges the nations, and those who were in hell, and those who had died, and now came to live in the second (sinners’) resurrection from the dead, all to be judged.
For the righteous had already been judged at the judgment seat of Christ their Savior, according to their faithfulness as a steward of God’s word, and as ambassadors of Christ, from the kingdom of heaven to the lost souls of the whole world, that they might come to God, by believing in Jesus, and be saved from the final judgment of God at the white throne, and from the eternal lake of non-consuming, but horrible pain-inducing fires, which were prepared for all wicked, the unbelievers, but specifically for the devil, and his fallen angels.
For the new heaven and the new earth were made only for the family of God, which is only those who never came to the knowledge of sin, and those who believed in the only begotten Son of Jehovah God, the Lord Jesus Christ, of Whom I am able to, in the greatest love of God which is within me, inform you of Him in great detail, that you might also believe in Christ, and be saved from your past sins, and the impending eternal penalties thereof.
God loves every person in the world. That is why He redeemed us by giving up His only begotten Son, Jesus, so that each one of us might believe on Jesus, and receive Him, for He is the only One who can redeem your soul from eternal fate worse than death (which will be eternally wished for, but never experienced in a sinner's eternal fate, for the lake of fire is eternal, because it is for ever).
I love everyone, too, and I want each and every one of you to share in the destiny to which I go, and that is what we refer to as 'heaven'. It is the new heaven and the new earth, which also is for ever.
Believe the truth in Jesus Christ, and go with me?
Romans 5:8: 'But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet einners, Christ died for us.' (each and every one)
All we must do is this:
John 3:16: 'For God so loved (every person in) the world, that He gave His only begotten Son (Jesus), that whosoever (you, me, anyone) believeth in Him should not perish (with their sins, and face a horrific fate), but have everlasting life (with the promise of a new heaven and earth which shall never pass away).'

Is this the secular reasoning of which I hear, that takes pure thought and rationale from the natural mind of mortal man??
Here is my experience in the matters at hand, and the true reasoning of reality, which, at last, shall, and will, be determined ultimately by One much greater than ourselves, to the joy of some for a real destiny of truth and spirituality in a real place which shall be called the new heaven and the new earth, which will last for ever (while the present heaven and earth, which were but a shadow of the real, but only temporary, and which shall pass away with a great noise, and all its elements will melt and dissolve with (like) a fervent heat storm; but to all who oppose this solidly-grounded truth, eternal despair, a fate in the spiritual region of science, where time neither exists, nor does it pass, since time is not of the essence in any region of science but natural science; only in the universe:
Of some of the ‘listed beliefs’ of ‘secular humanism’, as taken from the internet:
Belief in Deity
Not considered important. Most Humanists are atheists or agnostics.
One question: How did matter, and the laws of natural science, and forces, and processes (such as ‘birth’, and ‘death‘), and intangibles (such as ‘ intelligence, life, the senses, reason, emotions, reactions, affection, emotions, prophecy, etc., etc., etc.,) come to be?
There first have to be scientific laws for any thing to happen any where. And since for laws to exist, there has to be a ‘lawmaker’, for nothing comes from nothing but more ‘nothing’. There must be a point of beginning for every and any thing, or nothing occurs.
And that point cannot invent or originate itself.
And that is the ‘science’ of every thing. And, talking of scientific methods, where did the space come from to put the universe in? Also, how could space even come to be? Inside what would it make room for itself, for there was nothing, if you don’t believe in the realm of Infinite science, of which, and about which, man cannot know specifically?
Point: Your life is your soul, which is spirit. It also contains your thinking and reasoning ‘heart’, and your intellectual and rational mind, by which decisions are made. (God any decisions you would like to make right now? Feel free.
Yes, I have gone to the very root of the matter; actually to the very core, and from your standpoint, there must, psychologically, physiologically, and sociologically, still be only nothing; therefore we do not exist.
And that raises just one more question: If, in fact, we do not exist, who is it that is imagining us at this moment?
One more ‘scientific’ reality: The physical law of matter is, that matter can neither be created nor destroyed, but can only be converted into another form of matter, of which there are four: solids, liquids, gasses, and (the latest) energy. (And that goes all the way down to the quark, and the string, and now another much smaller sub-atomic particle), of which particles, I will predict (prophesy) that there possibly billions of smaller and smaller, and science will eventually run out of EMT‘s (Electronic Microscopic Towers) before they go ten more steps toward the smallest. You can’t beat God: join Him!
So now, any more scientific comments or analyses on any of that?
I, too, once in my life had to face that ‘scientific’ reality; and thank God it’s real!
Incarnation
(Same as above)
(Same answer as above.)
Origin of Universe and Life:
The scientific method is most respected as the means for revealing the mysteries of the origins of the universe and life.
I, too rely on the laws of natural science for the final conclusions of my full and complete understanding of the universe, with its forces, and its powers, and all substances, as well as their composition and affectations of the matter of which they are made, the elements, which were made from something out of Infinity, which is the realm of the Spirit, and God‘s habitat, which we cannot look into without His permission; for even God did not violate the physical law of matter, as all other theories do.
Also, of the ‘tangibles’, and the ‘intangibles’ which we utilize constantly, and take for granted that ‘they are what they are’, for science (and the universe) itself declares there is a Creator; merely the vast expanse of space itself must give everybody some sort of a hint that some things are bigger than even the greatest scientist could imagine; for there are things of an unexplainable nature which are far beyond the scope of man’s natural thought, until we look at real science:
Life is not substance, or matter, or electricity, or pressure; it is an ‘intangible’, and science can’t touch this, for the only explanation of life is that it came from a ‘life Source’; for here on the earth, when life is eliminated from a living body, that life (soul) has to go someplace else, for it is immortal, and cannot be touched by the laws of natural science; only altered, to in the body, or not in the body, and that sphere to which that life must go, is back to the Source of life in Infinity, which is not of the science of natural things, but of the higher science for which scientists spend trillions of dollars and millions of man-hours to find within the reaches of space. (Why do they do that? Because they have an idea that something, or Someone, is out there, somewhere. But that high scientific intelligence is right here on the earth; and billions know it! But many will not admit it.
That Intelligence is not within reach of any natural process of investigatory research; it is in another sphere of science, the greatest science: ‘Infinity’, which is the habitat of God Jehovah, the Source of life. You, apparently, as a ‘secular humanist, or an atheist, or both, are but a ‘surface observer’, who is not prepared to go beyond the limited thinking of the natural mind and wisdom of man, though science is getting closer, with one of their latest theories by which they think to eradicate from the mind of man that there actually is a God, Who, from something out of His habitat and scientific region, made space, and the universe, and man, and every living thing; and that theory is ‘parallel universe’, and/or the differentiation of ‘dimension’ (fourth dimension; which is the one which we ourselves inhabit (height, width, depth, and time), fifth dimension, and so on). They have also considered ‘intersecting universes’.
Howbeit, the first, and the real, dimension is the ‘spiritual’ dimension, from which the
‘substance’ and the scientific laws that formed them at the hand of God Jehovah came, to become the universe which we enjoy, regardless of whom you may accredit its existence.
For a few years, Dr. Stephen Hawking, crowned the greatest scientist alive several years ago, added a theory (during the 1980’s) that, when matter (solid, liquid, gas or energy (light, heat)) were gravitated into a black hole, it eventually disappeared.
But that would be violating the physical law of matter (which was specified above), to which theory, it was obvious to many other scientists, that it was not a true summation.
Therefore, Dr. Hawking withdrew his theory, without much more said about it.
After Death (secular humanists):
An afterlife or spiritual existence after death is not recognized.
(Explained above under the heading, ‘Origin of the universe and life’)
Why Evil? (secular humanists):
No concept of “evil.” Reasons for wrongdoing are explored through scientific methods, e.g. through study of sociology, psychology, criminology.
Yes, I must say that those psychological sciences have done a great job in creating a great and harmonious society across the globe….not!
Our jails and prisons are filling up so fast that in some cases the law enforcement agencies are having to use other facilities, or releasing criminals with ‘lesser’ crimes, in order to house the voluminous and ever-increasing criminal population, sending some to ‘rehab’ facilities, while hospitals and clinics are overtrodden by those who have been directly affected by the criminality among the populations of the world, with terrorists, and riots, and overthrowing of governments.
You are, I must say (rather clinically) doing such a great job, that we may even see whole States or even whole smaller countries being converted into prison colonies. (Are we now facing the reality of this real scenario? or do we have to dig any deeper to prove that your plans are not even close to working!?)
Salvation: (secular humanists)
No concept of afterlife or spiritual liberation or salvation. Realizing ones personal potential and working for the betterment of humanity through ethical consciousness and social works are considered paramount, but from a naturalistic rather than supernatural standpoint.
It is evident that the secular humanists have no concept (cannot conceive, perceive, or understand) any thing beyond their collective reasoning, for, if they do not conceive of the laws of natural science, as proven by this writer (under the heading ’Origin of universe and life’, above, it is obviously manifested by that, that they would have no concept of any thing beyond the limitation of their natural reasoning, within the boundaries of which you are captive, and cannot particularly grasp any thing of a spiritual nature.
Undeserved Suffering (secular humanists):
No spiritual reasons but rather a matter of human vulnerability to misfortune, illness, and victimization.
True that man is the cause of all the suffering that is prevalent in the world, including those who are also being from mildly to seriously hurt, diseased, dying, starving, etc., for if all mankind would be as they ought, then either none, or hardly any, of this suffering would not exist.
Think realistically: what is the reason for each and every scenario or measure of suffering throughout the whole earth? Man, with his greed, lust, covetousness, hatred, false religion programs, animalism, and so many other similarly recognized and detailed descriptions of man’s considered or spontaneous actions in his own behalf. (?) (but not necessarily in the behalf of others: just look at all the multi-millionaires, and multi-billionaires; then look at the world, and guesstimate the billions who are in need of just a few million dollars‘ worth of education, and good land, and a few machines, well, just look around! Could the lack of concern in those couple of things I have just mentioned be the cause of so much of that ‘undeserved suffering‘ you have so frivolously made not point of?)
Contemporary Issues (secular humanists):
The American Humanist Association endorses elective abortion. Other contemporary views include working for equality for homosexuals, gender equality, a secular approach to divorce and remarriage, working to end poverty, promoting peace and nonviolence, and environmental protection.
Allan: Great job! all our prisons are full to overflowing, new ones under construction, violent overthrowing of governments, now being overtaken by declared terrorists, diseases we have never heard of, and many doctors can't identify, then of the same strain of various and hybrid diseases, we have them return with a new defense against the medicines that worked before, hunger, starvation and death by starvation and exposure all over the world, while many of you hold on to your millions and billions, watching it happen, and doing little or nothing, and now we are about to see your world (the US) come down because of your promotion/tolerance of the liberty of the sinful flesh of man to indulge in all of the sexual misbehavior of the nations which God commanded Israel to destroy, or that were all destroyed among themselves, even the climax of their existence. (See my other blogs,)
Sanctity of life: (God and me):
Would you personally, if you were able, as a sperm cell, tell someone that they could quite freely abort your own life? Or when you were about four months in the womb, and had many developed senses, one of which would be feeling (pain, suffering, loss of life), would it be ok if someone could cause ‘undeserved suffering’ at the hands of one whose ’job’ it is to interfere with God’s standard protection of the life of a child, even when just the first sperm cell to penetrate the ‘egg’ (conception), to the full formation, and final event of natural death at an old age?
Ever read Psalm 51:5: ? It reads like this, and was written by one of the most famous:
5) “Behold, I (me, not a ‘fetus’, or a glob of worthless flesh) was shapen (formed in the womb, or ‘belly’ of a mother) in iniquity (having an evil disposition yet immature); and in sin (I was) did my mother conceive me (again, a child, from conception; and even the sperm was normally regarded by God, as I have written in other commentaries).”
The reason I am writing these truths is, that I do know God, and His truth is right; and I want every person to know Him, and His truth, as I do.
This is my window into the region of Infinite science, and my true knowledge of natural things:
Hebrews 11:3a:
3a) “Through faith we understand…”
Though we cannot see into the spiritual realm of Infinity (for it is in a dimension that is invisible to the eye of man), God has let us in on His secret and hidden wisdom, and His hidden knowledge, but only to those Who believe in God, the Son, Who came from the throne of God, inhabited a human form (body :Hebrews 10:5; Matthew 1:18; Galatians 4:4), which He sacrificed for our sins, so that we could have a ‘destiny’ in His eternal kingdom (new heaven and new earth, eternal in the heavens) and not a ‘fate’, which was prepared for the wicked (unbelievers), which is the devil, and his wicked angels, and the wicked of mankind (who did not believe in Jesus for a Savior sent from His Father, God Jehovah: John 3:16-18).
Read my blogs, and go to my face book. Take a crash course in the theological aspects of everything.
You may only have a short time: make the best of it, and learn of the God that made every thing, including you, by procreation, from the first man, Adam, and the first woman, Eve, which came forth from Adam, by the hand of a loving God, Who loves all mankind, and has shown it, by giving His own and only Son, Jesus Christ the Lord, for a sacrifice for all our sins. And when we believe in Jesus, the only Savior, as the scripture below has said, we shall be free from the condemnation of all our past sins we all have committed, and receive everlasting life, as we live for God.

(And that goes all the way down to the quark, and the string, and now another much smaller sub-atomic particle), of which particles, I will predict (prophesy) that there possibly billions of smaller and smaller, and science will eventually run out of EMT‘s (Electronic Microscopic Towers) before they go ten more steps toward the smallest. You can’t beat God: join Him!
So now, any more scientific comments or analyses on any of that?
I, too, once in my life had to face that ‘scientific’ reality; and thank God it’s real!
Incarnation
(Same as above)
(Same answer as above.)
Origin of Universe and Life:
The scientific method is most respected as the means for revealing the mysteries of the origins of the universe and life.
I, too rely on the laws of natural science for the final conclusions of my full and complete understanding of the universe, with its forces, and its powers, and all substances, as well as their composition and affectations of the matter of which they are made, the elements, which were made from something out of Infinity, which is the realm of the Spirit, and God‘s habitat, which we cannot look into without His permission; for even God did not violate the physical law of matter, as all other theories do.
Also, of the ‘tangibles’, and the ‘intangibles’ which we utilize constantly, and take for granted that ‘they are what they are’, for science (and the universe) itself declares there is a Creator; merely the vast expanse of space itself must give everybody some sort of a hint that some things are bigger than even the greatest scientist could imagine; for there are things of an unexplainable nature which are far beyond the scope of man’s natural thought, until we look at real science:
Life is not substance, or matter, or electricity, or pressure; it is an ‘intangible’, and science can’t touch this, for the only explanation of life is that it came from a ‘life Source’; for here on the earth, when life is eliminated from a living body, that life (soul) has to go someplace else, for it is immortal, and cannot be touched by the laws of natural science; only altered, to in the body, or not in the body, and that sphere to which that life must go, is back to the Source of life in Infinity, which is not of the science of natural things, but of the higher science for which scientists spend trillions of dollars and millions of man-hours to find within the reaches of space. (Why do they do that? Because they have an idea that something, or Someone, is out there, somewhere. But that high scientific intelligence is right here on the earth; and billions know it! But many will not admit it.
That Intelligence is not within reach of any natural process of investigatory research; it is in another sphere of science, the greatest science: ‘Infinity’, which is the habitat of God Jehovah, the Source of life. You, apparently, as a ‘secular humanist, or an atheist, or both, are but a ‘surface observer’, who is not prepared to go beyond the limited thinking of the natural mind and wisdom of man, though science is getting closer, with one of their latest theories by which they think to eradicate from the mind of man that there actually is a God, Who, from something out of His habitat and scientific region, made space, and the universe, and man, and every living thing; and that theory is ‘parallel universe’, and/or the differentiation of ‘dimension’ (fourth dimension; which is the one which we ourselves inhabit (height, width, depth, and time), fifth dimension, and so on). They have also considered ‘intersecting universes’.
Howbeit, the first, and the real, dimension is the ‘spiritual’ dimension, from which the
‘substance’ and the scientific laws that formed them at the hand of God Jehovah came, to become the universe which we enjoy, regardless of whom you may accredit its existence.
For a few years, Dr. Stephen Hawking, crowned the greatest scientist alive several years ago, added a theory (during the 1980’s) that, when matter (solid, liquid, gas or energy (light, heat)) were gravitated into a black hole, it eventually disappeared.
But that would be violating the physical law of matter (which was specified above), to which theory, it was obvious to many other scientists, that it was not a true summation.
Therefore, Dr. Hawking withdrew his theory, without much more said about it.
After Death (secular humanists):
An afterlife or spiritual existence after death is not recognized.
(Explained above under the heading, ‘Origin of the universe and life’)
Why Evil? (secular humanists):
No concept of “evil.” Reasons for wrongdoing are explored through scientific methods, e.g. through study of sociology, psychology, criminology.
Yes, I must say that those psychological sciences have done a great job in creating a great and harmonious society across the globe….not!
Our jails and prisons are filling up so fast that in some cases the law enforcement agencies are having to use other facilities, or releasing criminals with ‘lesser’ crimes, in order to house the voluminous and ever-increasing criminal population, sending some to ‘rehab’ facilities, while hospitals and clinics are overtrodden by those who have been directly affected by the criminality among the populations of the world, with terrorists, and riots, and overthrowing of governments.
You are, I must say (rather clinically) doing such a great job, that we may even see whole States or even whole smaller countries being converted into prison colonies. (Are we now facing the reality of this real scenario? or do we have to dig any deeper to prove that your plans are not even close to working!?)
Salvation: (secular humanists)
No concept of afterlife or spiritual liberation or salvation. Realizing ones personal potential and working for the betterment of humanity through ethical consciousness and social works are considered paramount, but from a naturalistic rather than supernatural standpoint.
It is evident that the secular humanists have no concept (cannot conceive, perceive, or understand) any thing beyond their collective reasoning, for, if they do not conceive of the laws of natural science, as proven by this writer (under the heading ’Origin of universe and life’, above, it is obviously manifested by that, that they would have no concept of any thing beyond the limitation of their natural reasoning, within the boundaries of which you are captive, and cannot particularly grasp any thing of a spiritual nature.
Undeserved Suffering (secular humanists):
No spiritual reasons but rather a matter of human vulnerability to misfortune, illness, and victimization.
True that man is the cause of all the suffering that is prevalent in the world, including those who are also being from mildly to seriously hurt, diseased, dying, starving, etc., for if all mankind would be as they ought, then either none, or hardly any, of this suffering would not exist.
Think realistically: what is the reason for each and every scenario or measure of suffering throughout the whole earth? Man, with his greed, lust, covetousness, hatred, false religion programs, animalism, and so many other similarly recognized and detailed descriptions of man’s considered or spontaneous actions in his own behalf. (?) (but not necessarily in the behalf of others: just look at all the multi-millionaires, and multi-billionaires; then look at the world, and guesstimate the billions who are in need of just a few million dollars‘ worth of education, and good land, and a few machines, well, just look around! Could the lack of concern in those couple of things I have just mentioned be the cause of so much of that ‘undeserved suffering‘ you have so frivolously made not point of?)
Contemporary Issues (secular humanists):
The American Humanist Association endorses elective abortion. Other contemporary views include working for equality for homosexuals, gender equality, a secular approach to divorce and remarriage, working to end poverty, promoting peace and nonviolence, and environmental protection.
Allan: Great job! all our prisons are full to overflowing, new ones under construction, violent overthrowing of governments, now being overtaken by declared terrorists, diseases we have never heard of, and many doctors can't identify, then of the same strain of various and hybrid diseases, we have them return with a new defense against the medicines that worked before, hunger, starvation and death by starvation and exposure all over the world, while many of you hold on to your millions and billions, watching it happen, and doing little or nothing, and now we are about to see your world (the US) come down because of your promotion/tolerance of the liberty of the sinful flesh of man to indulge in all of the sexual misbehavior of the nations which God commanded Israel to destroy, or that were all destroyed among themselves, even the climax of their existence. (See my other blogs,)
Sanctity of life: (God and me):
Would you personally, if you were able, as a sperm cell, tell someone that they could quite freely abort your own life? Or when you were about four months in the womb, and had many developed senses, one of which would be feeling (pain, suffering, loss of life), would it be ok if someone could cause ‘undeserved suffering’ at the hands of one whose ’job’ it is to interfere with God’s standard protection of the life of a child, even when just the first sperm cell to penetrate the ‘egg’ (conception), to the full formation, and final event of natural death at an old age?
Ever read Psalm 51:5: ? It reads like this, and was written by one of the most famous:
5) “Behold, I (me, not a ‘fetus’, or a glob of worthless flesh) was shapen (formed in the womb, or ‘belly’ of a mother) in iniquity (having an evil disposition yet immature); and in sin (I was) did my mother conceive me (again, a child, from conception; and even the sperm was normally regarded by God, as I have written in other commentaries).”
The reason I am writing these truths is, that I do know God, and His truth is right; and I want every person to know Him, and His truth, as I do.
This is my window into the region of Infinite science, and my true knowledge of natural things:
Hebrews 11:3a:
3a) “Through faith we understand…”
Though we cannot see into the spiritual realm of Infinity (for it is in a dimension that is invisible to the eye of man), God has let us in on His secret and hidden wisdom, and His hidden knowledge, but only to those Who believe in God, the Son, Who came from the throne of God, inhabited a human form (body :Hebrews 10:5; Matthew 1:18; Galatians 4:4), which He sacrificed for our sins, so that we could have a ‘destiny’ in His eternal kingdom (new heaven and new earth, eternal in the heavens) and not a ‘fate’, which was prepared for the wicked (unbelievers), which is the devil, and his wicked angels, and the wicked of mankind (who did not believe in Jesus for a Savior sent from His Father, God Jehovah: John 3:16-18).
Read my blogs, and go to my face book. Take a crash course in the theological aspects of everything.
You may only have a short time: make the best of it, and learn of the God that made every thing, including you, by procreation, from the first man, Adam, and the first woman, Eve, which came forth from Adam, by the hand of a loving God, Who loves all mankind, and has shown it, by giving His own and only Son, Jesus Christ the Lord, for a sacrifice for all our sins. And when we believe in Jesus, the only Savior, as the scripture below has said, we shall be free from the condemnation of all our past sins we all have committed, and receive everlasting life, as we live for God.

God's Priesthoods, Briefly:
The priesthoods, in brief:
Melchizedek (Melchisedec): King of Salem (Peace, Shalom), priest of the most high God Jehovah.
Abraham paid tithes to Melchizedek; therefore, the Levite priests did not pay tithes, for Levi was yet in the loins of Abraham His father, when Abraham met Melchizedek, but the Levite priests paid tithes out of those tithes gathered from the people, for they were paid, by transduction, to Melchizedek by Abraham.
And Melchizedek blessed Abram (his Hebrew Gentile name, for at this time, there were no Jews; that came with the covenant of 'circumcision'; and Abram was later called 'Abraham', for God would make him a father of many nations. (Ref: Genesis 17:4-5; Galatians 3:6-7).
In Hebrews, chapters 7 through 10, you will find much information regarding the priesthoods, the tabernacle, sacrifices, and the old covenant (Old Testament), and the new covenant (New Testament).
And Jesus, the Christ, the Messiah, is the 'Anointed' of God, for in Psalm 110:4, God said, 'Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.’
All other priests were anointed by men, and the priesthood of Aaron, the first high priest, Moses' brother, was passed from father to son.
There was a written 'Torah' (Old Testament), and there was an unwritten 'Torah', which only the high priest knew, and that was only spoken, from father (high priest) to son (next high priest).
But our high priest, Jesus, Which is referred to as 'Christ', or 'Messiah' also, is for ever, for He was anointed by His Father, Who gave Jesus the words which He spoke to the Jews, including specifically, the apostles, with the other disciples which followed Jesus:
John 14:23-24: 'Jesus answered and said unto him (Judas, not 'Iscariot'), 'If a man love Me, he will keep My words: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him. He that loveth Me not keepeth not My sayings: and the word which ye hear is not Mine, but the Father's Which sent Me.'
Deuteronomy 18:18-19: (God speaks with Moses) 'I will raise them (the Jews, Israel, the 'circumcision') up a Prophet from among (not 'of') their brethren, like unto thee, and will put My words in His mouth; and He shall speak unto them (the Jews only, except in a rare case) all that I shall command Him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto (hear and obey) My words which He shall speak in My name, I will require it of him (that doth not hearken to them).'
Jesus was not 'of' the sinful flesh of Adam, but God, by the Holy Ghost, was the father of His flesh, and that flesh was sinless, 'made of a woman, made under the law', and not therefore not worthy of death, for death is the penalty of sin, which Christ Jesus did not have in His pure flesh, therefore, He had no sentence pronounced upon His flesh:
Ref.: Galatians 4:4; Matthew 1:18; Hebrews 10:1-5; Romans 5:12; Hebrews 9:27).
God bless you as you study His thoughts and His ways: Isaiah 55:8-11.

Cfnoisuon… you can probably read that, no matter that the letters are in a 'confusion status'?!
Though there is a major state of a multiplicity of confusion factors throughout the world in which we currently live, there are those who have been given the capability of sorting out that confusion, and exposing it for what it is: confusion; and warning others of those specific factors (or entities, groups, or individuals) which do, and are preparing to, originate, and to perpetuate confusion.
And we who comprehend what is confusion, and what is normal and acceptable realism, are enabled by our loving Father, Jehovah God, to offer instruction in the word of truth, as to how to avoid, and to handle, that confusion, thereby reducing its power over the minds of those who are, or may be, adversely affected by that confusion, to one degree or another. (II Timothy 2:15; II Timothy 3:16-17)
‘For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints (believers in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.).’ (I Corinthians 14:33)
Where does confusion come from? And what is its purpose?
First, it's prime source is the devil; and he is a liar, and the father of lies, and the father of all liars, who are, in his hands, his own personal instruments of confusion, with which the devil inundates every society of today.
In the midst of many things, there is confusion; therefore, the devil does not just implement one or two things which create confusion, but a nultitude of many and various things, by many, who are more than willing to participate, for they have one thing in common: they despise God, and His Word, and His family of born-again believers (sons, for He is our Father). And the Bible says that there will be more of them, having more intensity in what they are doing to destroy every hint of God.
God loves them all, and I pray for them, for I want, as God wants, for them to be in the same place I will be in eternity: heaven.
And the last atheistic scientist I witnessed to died at an early age....after he became a son of God!
The various types and methods of creating and perpetuating confusion are all around us: TV series, programs, documentaries, books, radio, songs, poems, stories, ‘facts and figures’, internet, schools, magazines, brochures and other reading materials, entertainment programs, movies, DVD’s, schools, public or private programs and presentations, other religious programs, and even in many 'Christian’ Churches, but not limited to just those things I have mentioned, for they are just some examples of multiple other ways which may be used in the process of creating confusion, which cause major distraction, perplexity, bewilderment, and the mere injection of thoughts by 'old sayings', jokes, comical agents...you name it, and that's probably a tool of the devil, to, from gradually over a period of years, to instantly, by 'rationale', and 'practical thinking' (,so-called), among many unsuspecting households and gathering centers, even churches, all over the world.
Confusion is meant for one purpose, and that is so that the devil, with all of his ‘children’, might be able to turn the heads of both believers and non-believers, in hope that they might not be so strong in the Lord, and inspire other believers to fall prey to this tool of Satan, to belittle and sabotage the work of God in the world, which work of God is to save the lost souls of mankind, before the ‘last harvest’ is over, and ‘until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.’ (Romans 11:25).
We can see what that confusion has made the United States to become, to the status of 'forgetting God' over the last two hundred years.
What will it be like in ten? or five? or even two? (or next year?)
When that ‘fulness’ of the salvation of souls in the last harvest is finished, Christ will take all who believe, both living and dead, out of this world, to be with Him for ever, and wherever He will be, there shall we believers be also. Then shall the world have this saying:
Jeremiah 8:20: ‘The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.’
What a terrible loss the unbelievers will have then sustained, when such a simple and sure redemption could have been theirs.
Please do not wait. Do not be one of those who think that saying. Such a measure of sadness and sorrow I feel, just writing of such a great loss which could have been so easily avoided with just one ‘Yes’ to Jesus, as the Spirit of a loving God and Savior bid them ‘come to Me’ so many times; yet they sold their soul to their own flesh, with its affections and lusts for earthly treasures, and earthly pleasures, gratification of their sinful and condemned flesh, which it is appointed to die, because of its wicked rebellion against a loving God, Who loved all men, and offered His eternal love to all, by sacrificing His own Son, in the death of the cruel and merciless cross, that Jesus might pay for the sins of the wicked who would believe in Him.
But so many would not believe, and those would be left behind in the world, hopeless, without God, and facing the fate that awaits all who reject Jesus, the only Savior of the lost souls of mankind.
So now nothing is left for those who are left behind when Christ takes away the Church of true believers in their precious Savior, but to pay for their own sins in eternal torment, because they refused and rejected the only salvation of all men, Jesus Christ.
So with the remaining five minutes, or five months, or five years, or five heartbeats, which they may have left of the rest of their lives, they will have no way to recover, for their flesh will die, and they will then be transported into eternity, to be judged by the God of all flesh according to their deeds:
Hebrews 9:27:
27) “And as it is appointed unto all men once to die (in the flesh), and after this, the judgment:”
What hope do you have? Have you trusted in the name of Jesus, for the salvation of your soul? If you have not, then you, too, will have no hope, when the Church is removed from the earth; for all true believers, who are the Church, will be taken away, for ever.
Don’t let confusion keep you from coming to Jesus for the salvation of your eternal soul, which will be somewhere in eternity for ever. Sidestep away from any thing that looks like evil, or confusion. We do not even need to watch, or hear, those with degrees, with 'higher learning' that has blinded their eyes, so that they can't even see their own fate, playing the devil's game, and losing their own soul.
There is one ‘saving grace’, and that is ‘now’. You can be saved, right where you are, as you are, in just an instant, because Jesus Himself speaks this message of salvation to you in this moment:
John 3:16:
16) “For God so loved (all the people in) the world, that He gave (up) His only begotten Son (the Lord Jesus Christ, to be your sacrifice for your past sins), that whosoever (that’s you, or me) believeth in Him (to be their Savior) should not perish (as a hopeless sinner), but have everlasting life (in the new heaven and earth which God shall make for all believers in Jesus, the only Savior of the souls of men).”
Give it all up to Him now, and ask for God’s forgiveness in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and He will save you. And then you will have the hope of salvation, which God promised before the world was formed. Do it now:
dunomos@aol.com
Confusion should drive us to the word of truth, that we might be closer to God, and learn how to deal with the many types and sources of confusion, which is perpetrated upon all believers, as well as all non-believers.
There are so many distractions from the real purpose of life. We have all sorts of entertainment, much of which is to sculpt our minds into one social pattern, so that we will all think the same as the majority has already been deceived to think.
I pray that you will read my previous comments and notes on ‘Facebook’ to get a glimpse of the exposure of some of today’s ‘Confusion’, and reveal many truths which no one else will teach you, though they are the patterns of God to give you a prosperous and successful and victorious life, and then that destiny which God has intended from before time, to be in that new heaven and new earth, which God shall make for all who have believed in the only begotten Son of God.
And that eternal destiny will be so wondrously glorious, and fabulous, that all of mankind who has ever lived could not imagine even a hundredth of one percent of what our loving Father has prepared in His own mind for each and every one who believed in His Son.
God loves you; love Him back! And I love you, too, with that same love! That is why I spend thousands of hours a year researching, and seeking the truth, and sharing it with whomever I can, before ‘the harvest is past, the summer is ended'.
There's not a person on earth, or that shall be born, whom God does not love with an eternal love. And every one He loves, I love also, none excluded. That is why God sent His own Son to the cross to die for our sins, so that when we believe in Christ, the Son, all our sins are taken away for ever. And if we sin again (which shouldn't be likely!), God will forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness, so that we can start again, in true fellowship with Him, and with all our sisters and brothers in Christ; for we are family: God's family, for whom the whole vast universe was made for us to enjoy in this life on the earth.
Pray for these efforts of 'faith, which worketh by love', which are put into the ‘Last Days’ Ministry To The Church’ (that Jesus built), that it might quickly go worldwide, creating true fellowship in Christ, among all sisters and brothers of all denominations that believe in Jesus Christ, the only Savior; for we can fellowship in the gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the first priority of the Church; and, since there are many ‘divisions’(which we call ‘denominations’) in the Church, that is the priority around which we must gather in fellowship. (See Hosea 6:1-3: We have been chastised for non-conformance to the pattern of God for His Church, which is plainly spoken by Paul in I Corinthians 1:10.)
Through faith, with true and scriptural humility, and charity toward all men, as we minister and fellowship to one another, edifying one another, without contention or debate over our doctrinal beliefs, and whatever other things we fail to agree upon, we will keep all of the commandments of our Lord Jesus Christ, and please God.
And I believe (according to Hosea 6:1-3) that God will restore to the Church His pattern for the Church, as Paul declares it in:
I Corinthians 1:10: The 'pattern' of God for the Church: (See Exodus 25:40)
10) “Now I beseech you (exhort and admonish you firmly, in the love of Christ), brethren (sisters and brothers in Christ), by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions (denominations) among you; but that ye be perfectly joined (united, assembled, as a body of 'members in particular: I Corinthians 12:26) together in the same mind (knowledge, and understanding of God’s word) and in the same judgment (application, use of the truth, wisdom and knowledge of the Lord our God).”
When (and I do believe ‘when’) we conform to this pattern of God, it must begin with working together in the gospel, which is the first priority of the Church of Jesus Christ; then we can move on up from there in great revival of the Church, which has been partially blinded to the truth for nearly two thousand years (two 'days’: II Peter 3:8), and is about ready for its preparation to acknowledge its negligence, and its error, and 'return unto the Lord'.
Hosea 6:3:
3) “Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord”
‘Confusion’ then shall be of little or no consideration any more, for we will all be about the 'Master’s business’, and working together, for the souls of the nations.
Matthew 28:18-20: Jesus commanded apostles, and us:
18) “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, ‘All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth.
19) “ ‘Go ye (all believers) therefore, and teach (the gospel of Jesus Christ to) all nations (both Jews, and all Gentile nations), baptizing them (that believe the gospel of Jesus Christ unto salvation) in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: (and this is the 'Godhead')
20) “ ‘Teaching them (all believers, both Jew and Gentile, all nations) to observe (do, keep and teach) all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.’ Amen.”
I am Allan Thomasson, humble servant of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and of all my brothers and sisters in the Lord, of every nation, and of every denomination. And I am on 'Facebook'.
I contend with no man, for every believer, and every non-believer, must answer individually to the God that made them through the process of procreation.
And I will not compromise the truth of the living word of truth: insteac, I will write the truth of the scriptures, as they are truth in Jesus Christ, and are revealed by the Spirit of truth (‘He will guide you into all truth.’ John 16:12-13), so that all believers and non-believers will have access to the truth, by which each person will be able to bring to their own understanding the right way in which we must go; for we must learn to think as God thinks, and go in all the ways of God:
Isaiah 55:8-11: God lovingly, and invitingly, speaks to all of us:
8) “ ‘For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways’, saith the Lord.
9) “ 'For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.
10) “ ‘For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11) “ ‘So shall My word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.’.”
Let the word, by the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of truth, upgrade our thinking to the way God thinks, and our ways to His ways. ‘Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord”
Flesh, the wisdom of the natural man, and the carnal mind of flesh, can never perceive, understand or comprehend the spiritual truths of God, for the flesh of man, and the carnal mind of man, are not capable by the knowledge of man, to know the things of God, for when Adam sinned, he lost the 'likeness' or, in other words, the understanding, and the righteousness of God, though we have retained the 'image' of God, as the scriptures bear out: no, not even the apostles could know the spiritual truths of God, the mysteries, and the hidden knowledge and wisdom of God within the scriptures (by which they were brought up to know), as they walked with Him, for He said to those brothers in Christ:
John 16:12-13:
12) “I have yet many things (spiritual truths) to say unto you, but ye cannot bear (comprehend, understand or perceive) them now (even though they were born again by the Spirit of God:
John 1:10-13; as all true believers of today also are).
13) “Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth (the Holy Ghost) is come (which Jesus sends from heaven after His ascension, to be glorified again with the Father: Acts 2:4), He will guide you into all (spiritual) truth (understanding, comprehension, perception of the word of truth).”
And He gave the Holy Ghost to the Church; first the about a hundred twenty brethren, which included the eleven apostles (Acts 2:4), and then to all who would receive Jesus’ ministry (John 1:33) from heaven, which doctrine and principle was to have endured for the duration of the Church's existence upon the earth, ‘until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.’: Romans 11:25.
All of these things will be fully and completely discussed in greater detail in the writings and discourses of this ministry, of which many hundreds are already in edit, having been written over the past decades, at the direction of the Father, and the unction of the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of truth.
How do I say, ‘God bless you’, in every language? I must look into that!
This writing, as most of the hundreds of other writings in progress, is still in the editing process, and is intended, after editing, to be enclosed in a 'Topical Commentary', which shall include all topics relevant to the 'Las Days' Ministry to the Church' (that Jesus built).
Remember: God loves you. Love Him back!

God loves them all, and I pray for them, for I want, as God wants, for them to be in the same place I will be in eternity: heaven.
And the last atheistic scientist I witnessed to died at an early age....after he became a son of God!
The various types and methods of creating and perpetuating confusion are all around us: TV series, programs, documentaries, books, radio, songs, poems, stories, ‘facts and figures’, internet, schools, magazines, brochures and other reading materials, entertainment programs, movies, DVD’s, schools, public or private programs and presentations, other religious programs, and even in many 'Christian’ Churches, but not limited to just those things I have mentioned, for they are just some examples of multiple other ways which may be used in the process of creating confusion, which cause major distraction, perplexity, bewilderment, and the mere injection of thoughts by 'old sayings', jokes, comical agents...you name it, and that's probably a tool of the devil, to, from gradually over a period of years, to instantly, by 'rationale', and 'practical thinking' (,so-called), among many unsuspecting households and gathering centers, even churches, all over the world.
Confusion is meant for one purpose, and that is so that the devil, with all of his ‘children’, might be able to turn the heads of both believers and non-believers, in hope that they might not be so strong in the Lord, and inspire other believers to fall prey to this tool of Satan, to belittle and sabotage the work of God in the world, which work of God is to save the lost souls of mankind, before the ‘last harvest’ is over, and ‘until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.’ (Romans 11:25).
We can see what that confusion has made the United States to become, to the status of 'forgetting God' over the last two hundred years.
What will it be like in ten? or five? or even two? (or next year?)
When that ‘fulness’ of the salvation of souls in the last harvest is finished, Christ will take all who believe, both living and dead, out of this world, to be with Him for ever, and wherever He will be, there shall we believers be also. Then shall the world have this saying:
Jeremiah 8:20: ‘The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.’
What a terrible loss the unbelievers will have then sustained, when such a simple and sure redemption could have been theirs.
Please do not wait. Do not be one of those who think that saying. Such a measure of sadness and sorrow I feel, just writing of such a great loss which could have been so easily avoided with just one ‘Yes’ to Jesus, as the Spirit of a loving God and Savior bid them ‘come to Me’ so many times; yet they sold their soul to their own flesh, with its affections and lusts for earthly treasures, and earthly pleasures, gratification of their sinful and condemned flesh, which it is appointed to die, because of its wicked rebellion against a loving God, Who loved all men, and offered His eternal love to all, by sacrificing His own Son, in the death of the cruel and merciless cross, that Jesus might pay for the sins of the wicked who would believe in Him.
But so many would not believe, and those would be left behind in the world, hopeless, without God, and facing the fate that awaits all who reject Jesus, the only Savior of the lost souls of mankind.
So now nothing is left for those who are left behind when Christ takes away the Church of true believers in their precious Savior, but to pay for their own sins in eternal torment, because they refused and rejected the only salvation of all men, Jesus Christ.
So with the remaining five minutes, or five months, or five years, or five heartbeats, which they may have left of the rest of their lives, they will have no way to recover, for their flesh will die, and they will then be transported into eternity, to be judged by the God of all flesh according to their deeds:
Hebrews 9:27:
27) “And as it is appointed unto all men once to die (in the flesh), and after this, the judgment:”
What hope do you have? Have you trusted in the name of Jesus, for the salvation of your soul? If you have not, then you, too, will have no hope, when the Church is removed from the earth; for all true believers, who are the Church, will be taken away, for ever.
Don’t let confusion keep you from coming to Jesus for the salvation of your eternal soul, which will be somewhere in eternity for ever. Sidestep away from any thing that looks like evil, or confusion. We do not even need to watch, or hear, those with degrees, with 'higher learning' that has blinded their eyes, so that they can't even see their own fate, playing the devil's game, and losing their own soul.
There is one ‘saving grace’, and that is ‘now’. You can be saved, right where you are, as you are, in just an instant, because Jesus Himself speaks this message of salvation to you in this moment:
John 3:16:
16) “For God so loved (all the people in) the world, that He gave (up) His only begotten Son (the Lord Jesus Christ, to be your sacrifice for your past sins), that whosoever (that’s you, or me) believeth in Him (to be their Savior) should not perish (as a hopeless sinner), but have everlasting life (in the new heaven and earth which God shall make for all believers in Jesus, the only Savior of the souls of men).”
Give it all up to Him now, and ask for God’s forgiveness in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and He will save you. And then you will have the hope of salvation, which God promised before the world was formed. Do it now:

Confusion should drive us to the word of truth, that we might be closer to God, and learn how to deal with the many types and sources of confusion, which is perpetrated upon all believers, as well as all non-believers.
There are so many distractions from the real purpose of life. We have all sorts of entertainment, much of which is to sculpt our minds into one social pattern, so that we will all think the same as the majority has already been deceived to think.
I pray that you will read my previous comments and notes on ‘Facebook’ to get a glimpse of the exposure of some of today’s ‘Confusion’, and reveal many truths which no one else will teach you, though they are the patterns of God to give you a prosperous and successful and victorious life, and then that destiny which God has intended from before time, to be in that new heaven and new earth, which God shall make for all who have believed in the only begotten Son of God.
And that eternal destiny will be so wondrously glorious, and fabulous, that all of mankind who has ever lived could not imagine even a hundredth of one percent of what our loving Father has prepared in His own mind for each and every one who believed in His Son.
God loves you; love Him back! And I love you, too, with that same love! That is why I spend thousands of hours a year researching, and seeking the truth, and sharing it with whomever I can, before ‘the harvest is past, the summer is ended'.
There's not a person on earth, or that shall be born, whom God does not love with an eternal love. And every one He loves, I love also, none excluded. That is why God sent His own Son to the cross to die for our sins, so that when we believe in Christ, the Son, all our sins are taken away for ever. And if we sin again (which shouldn't be likely!), God will forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness, so that we can start again, in true fellowship with Him, and with all our sisters and brothers in Christ; for we are family: God's family, for whom the whole vast universe was made for us to enjoy in this life on the earth.
Pray for these efforts of 'faith, which worketh by love', which are put into the ‘Last Days’ Ministry To The Church’ (that Jesus built), that it might quickly go worldwide, creating true fellowship in Christ, among all sisters and brothers of all denominations that believe in Jesus Christ, the only Savior; for we can fellowship in the gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the first priority of the Church; and, since there are many ‘divisions’(which we call ‘denominations’) in the Church, that is the priority around which we must gather in fellowship. (See Hosea 6:1-3: We have been chastised for non-conformance to the pattern of God for His Church, which is plainly spoken by Paul in I Corinthians 1:10.)
Through faith, with true and scriptural humility, and charity toward all men, as we minister and fellowship to one another, edifying one another, without contention or debate over our doctrinal beliefs, and whatever other things we fail to agree upon, we will keep all of the commandments of our Lord Jesus Christ, and please God.
And I believe (according to Hosea 6:1-3) that God will restore to the Church His pattern for the Church, as Paul declares it in:
I Corinthians 1:10: The 'pattern' of God for the Church: (See Exodus 25:40)
10) “Now I beseech you (exhort and admonish you firmly, in the love of Christ), brethren (sisters and brothers in Christ), by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions (denominations) among you; but that ye be perfectly joined (united, assembled, as a body of 'members in particular: I Corinthians 12:26) together in the same mind (knowledge, and understanding of God’s word) and in the same judgment (application, use of the truth, wisdom and knowledge of the Lord our God).”
When (and I do believe ‘when’) we conform to this pattern of God, it must begin with working together in the gospel, which is the first priority of the Church of Jesus Christ; then we can move on up from there in great revival of the Church, which has been partially blinded to the truth for nearly two thousand years (two 'days’: II Peter 3:8), and is about ready for its preparation to acknowledge its negligence, and its error, and 'return unto the Lord'.
Hosea 6:3:
3) “Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord”
‘Confusion’ then shall be of little or no consideration any more, for we will all be about the 'Master’s business’, and working together, for the souls of the nations.
Matthew 28:18-20: Jesus commanded apostles, and us:
18) “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, ‘All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth.
19) “ ‘Go ye (all believers) therefore, and teach (the gospel of Jesus Christ to) all nations (both Jews, and all Gentile nations), baptizing them (that believe the gospel of Jesus Christ unto salvation) in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: (and this is the 'Godhead')
20) “ ‘Teaching them (all believers, both Jew and Gentile, all nations) to observe (do, keep and teach) all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.’ Amen.”
I am Allan Thomasson, humble servant of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and of all my brothers and sisters in the Lord, of every nation, and of every denomination. And I am on 'Facebook'.
I contend with no man, for every believer, and every non-believer, must answer individually to the God that made them through the process of procreation.
And I will not compromise the truth of the living word of truth: insteac, I will write the truth of the scriptures, as they are truth in Jesus Christ, and are revealed by the Spirit of truth (‘He will guide you into all truth.’ John 16:12-13), so that all believers and non-believers will have access to the truth, by which each person will be able to bring to their own understanding the right way in which we must go; for we must learn to think as God thinks, and go in all the ways of God:
Isaiah 55:8-11: God lovingly, and invitingly, speaks to all of us:
8) “ ‘For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways’, saith the Lord.
9) “ 'For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.
10) “ ‘For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11) “ ‘So shall My word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.’.”
Let the word, by the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of truth, upgrade our thinking to the way God thinks, and our ways to His ways. ‘Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord”
Flesh, the wisdom of the natural man, and the carnal mind of flesh, can never perceive, understand or comprehend the spiritual truths of God, for the flesh of man, and the carnal mind of man, are not capable by the knowledge of man, to know the things of God, for when Adam sinned, he lost the 'likeness' or, in other words, the understanding, and the righteousness of God, though we have retained the 'image' of God, as the scriptures bear out: no, not even the apostles could know the spiritual truths of God, the mysteries, and the hidden knowledge and wisdom of God within the scriptures (by which they were brought up to know), as they walked with Him, for He said to those brothers in Christ:
John 16:12-13:
12) “I have yet many things (spiritual truths) to say unto you, but ye cannot bear (comprehend, understand or perceive) them now (even though they were born again by the Spirit of God:
John 1:10-13; as all true believers of today also are).
13) “Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth (the Holy Ghost) is come (which Jesus sends from heaven after His ascension, to be glorified again with the Father: Acts 2:4), He will guide you into all (spiritual) truth (understanding, comprehension, perception of the word of truth).”
And He gave the Holy Ghost to the Church; first the about a hundred twenty brethren, which included the eleven apostles (Acts 2:4), and then to all who would receive Jesus’ ministry (John 1:33) from heaven, which doctrine and principle was to have endured for the duration of the Church's existence upon the earth, ‘until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.’: Romans 11:25.
All of these things will be fully and completely discussed in greater detail in the writings and discourses of this ministry, of which many hundreds are already in edit, having been written over the past decades, at the direction of the Father, and the unction of the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of truth.
How do I say, ‘God bless you’, in every language? I must look into that!
This writing, as most of the hundreds of other writings in progress, is still in the editing process, and is intended, after editing, to be enclosed in a 'Topical Commentary', which shall include all topics relevant to the 'Las Days' Ministry to the Church' (that Jesus built).
Remember: God loves you. Love Him back!

When the law is good:
Proverbs 30:5:
5) “Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them put their trust in Him.
6) “Add thou not unto His words, lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.”
Joshua 1:8: Of the book of the law which Moses wrote:
8) “This (Moses') 'book of the law' shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”
(Ref: Deuteronomy 28:1-14)
Have we, the Church that Jesus built, been derelict in our duties, in that we have not continued to teach the whole word of truth, which is the Christian Bible, both the Old Testament and the New Testament?
(Ref: II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21: verified by Paul the apostle in all his writings, where he continuously used Old Testament references for today's truths and God's principles, as I also do!)
Example: Are we familiar with the ‘times and seasons’, the special days, weeks, months and years, which were designated in the Old Testament, and assigned to be special in the days before Jesus?
(Luke 24:44; John 5:39-40)
Do we know, for instance, that the ‘day of Pentecost’ was celebrated in a particularly specific way by Israel, so that it was a ‘shadow’, or a ‘type’ of the day on which the Church of Jesus Christ was to be birthed, and the first of many millions of believers were baptized with the Holy Ghost, thereby receiving power to initiate and maintain scriptural operation and administration of the Church of true believers, knowing the truth, and being guided into all truth by the only One Who was assigned to guide us into the hidden wisdom and knowledge of God, by the word of truth, that One being the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of truth?
Did not Paul (formerly, ‘Saul’ of Tarsus, the deadly enemy who persecuted the Jews who were saved, and 'members in particular' of the Church of Jesus Christ, and was called to be the twelfth apostle by Jesus Christ, when he was on the road to Damascus, with letters of authority from the Jewish council at Jerusalem, to take captive Jews who had believed in Jesus, and return them to Jerusalem, or Rome, where they were stoned or slaughtered, for their departure from the law of Moses (seemingly, to Saul, and the Jewish council), to the faith of Jesus Christ by Abraham), time after time, and most frequently, use Old Testament scriptures, and propheciestypes, shadows and symbols from the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms, to establish truths in the New Testament epistles which he wrote to the Church?
And, to be fair to you, if you wonder where I'm coming from, follow Paul's writings, and Old Testament priciples, which were established in God's relationship with the Jews, which I will in
great detail elaborate on in all of these writings of truth in Christ, by the Spirit of truth.
(See Isaiah 28:9-10)
Some denominations of the Church refuse to use the Old Testament, and some even deny that the New Testament is the word of God.
In Jesus’ days, and in the days of the apostles, and for many years thereafter, the only scriptures that were available to believers in Jesus were those of the Old Testament.
The New Testament was originated by the apostles, in direct keeping of the commandment of Jesus Christ to them, as well as to other disciples of Jesus who were, from time to time, with Jesus and the apostles, for Jesus had many followers. Here is that commandment:
Matthew 28:18-20:
18) “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, ‘All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth (the whole universe).
19) “Go ye therefore, and teach (the gospel to) all nations, baptizing them (that believe the gospel of Jesus Christ unto salvation) in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (and that is the ‘Godhead’):
20) “Teaching them to observe (do, keep, and teach, just as you, the apostles do, keep, and teach) all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I AM with you always, even unto the end of the world (, which end, of those difficult times, may last for a few to several years after the removal of the Church from the earth, when Jesus comes to take us all away, to be with Him, wherever He shall be, for ever.).’ Amen.”
Therefore, the apostles preached, and taught, and wrote epistles and other accounts, as Jesus had commanded them; and that is now what we call the ‘New Testament’ (in Christ’s blood).
So there was indeed a transition from just the keeping of the law by the ‘letter’ of the written law, and the performance in the letter of the law by the ‘works’ of the law, which was not mixed with faith, to believing Christ, the Son of God for salvation by faith of Abraham unto 'good works', which are performed through faith, which worketh by love, which is accepted by God for righteousness.
Therefore, we now read the difference between the ‘works’ of the law, and the ‘good works’ of the spirit of the law through ‘faith, which worketh by love’, which, alone, is acceptable to God.
And by those ‘good works’, in which we are commanded in love to walk, we do not just ‘keep‘ the law of Moses, by ‘works‘ in the flesh of the doing of the letter, but we ‘establish the law’:
Romans 3:23-31: Extracting verses 30-31, not excluding the previous verses, which set the foundation for these two verses:
30) “Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
31) “Do we then make void the law (of Moses) through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law (by our performance of faith in love, accomplishing those works, that they might be ‘good works’, which are acceptable to God for righteousness).”
Knowing now the truth regarding the law of works, and the law of faith, we should no longer fear doing the works of the law by faith, which converts them to ‘good works’, labors of love to God, and to our neighbour.
Isaiah 41:10:
10) “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the Right Hand of my righteousness (Jesus, God‘s Son).”
II Timothy 3:16-17: Of the word of truth, the word of God Jehovah:
16) “All scripture (Old Testament, New Testament) is (specifically and precisely) given by (concise, firm and unchangeable) inspiration of God (Jehovah), and is (spiritually and logically) profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17) “That the man of God may be perfect (in the eyes of God), thoroughly furnished unto all ‘good works’.”
Ephesians 2:8-10:
8) “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God (to every one who believes in Jesus, the only begotten Son of the only true and living God Jehovah).
9) “Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10) “For we are HIS workmanship (we are under His construction), created (re-created, born again, a new man) in Christ Jesus unto ‘good works’ (which are performed in ‘faith, which worketh by love’), which God hath before (the foundation of the world) ordained that we should walk in (the performance of) them.”
Romans 9:30-32:
30) “What shall we say then? ‘That the Gentiles (every nation that is not Israel), which followed not after righteousness (by the law, which they did not have: Ephesians 2:11), have (now, even as Paul writes,) attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith (of Abraham, by Jesus Christ, the Seed of Abraham to whom the promise of righteousness by faith was given).
31) “But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness (by their ‘works‘ of the ‘letter‘ of the law), hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
32) “Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the (letter and by their) ‘works’ (, the ‘natural, physical performance by the flesh) of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling stone.”
John 4:23-24: Jesus speaking to the Samarian woman at the well:
23) “But the hour cometh, and now is (as Jesus preached the ‘kingdom of heaven’), when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him.
24) “God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”
Isaiah 28:8-13:
9) “Whom shall He teach knowledge? and whom shall He make to understand wisdom? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. (See Hebrews 5:12-14 below)
10) “For precept must be (coordinated) upon precept, precept upon (properly contextual) precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little (contextual truth), and there a little (more essential and perfectly complementary truth, to fill up to the truth of a principle of God within His word):
11) “For with stammering lips and another tongue (evidence of one who has received Spirit of truth, by the baptism with the Holy Ghost) will He speak to this people. (Joel 2:28-29, Acts 2:4, 38-39: 10:43-48)
12) “To whom (Israel, the Jews, the ‘Circumcision’) He said, ‘This is the rest (Sabbath) wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing (being made ‘free indeed’, in the spirit, and in truth: John 1:33; John 6:32, 36): yet they (Israel would not hear.
13) “But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared and taken (because of that stumblingblock, or stumbling stone, which is receiving true righteousness which is not obtained through works, but by faith of Abraham by Jesus Christ, God the Son, Who came in a body of pure and sinless flesh).”
(Hebrews 10:5; Hebrews 1:1-3; Galatians 4:4-5; Matthew 1:18)
From above, and in addition to Isaiah 28:9:
Hebrews 5:12-14:
12) “For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of god; and are become such as have need of milk (of the basic root principles of the word of truth), and not of strong meat (mature truth, knowledge and wisdom in the word of truth).
13) “For every one that useth milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
(I Peter 2:2: ‘As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.’)
14) “But strong meat belonged to them that are of full age (mature in the things of God, in word and in spirit), even those who (are weaned from the milk, and) by reason of use have their (spiritual) senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”
Did not Jesus keep the law? Yes, He did. But He preached the kingdom of heaven, which message began by John the Baptist, Jesus’ first cousin, who was six months older than Jesus, approximately, born to Elizabeth and Zachariah, a priest of Abia.
(John the Baptist was prophesied in Isaiah 40:3.)
Why did the law work for Jesus as He kept it, and not for the Jews of Israel, the ‘circumcision’, of the covenant of Abraham? Look at the scripture above: Romans 9:30-32.
Galatians 3:23-26:
23) “But before faith came, we (Jews) were kept under the law, shut up unto (held back from) the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24) “Wherefore the law was our ‘schoolmaster’ (teacher, instructor) to bring us to Christ (by the ‘shadow’, the law: Hebrews 10:1-4), that we might be justified (by God) by faith (of Abraham, believing in Christ, the Son of God).
25) “But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster (the law, for Christ is come, and we were brought to Him, therefore, because of faith, the ‘schoolmaster’ is no longer required, except in performance through ‘faith, which worketh by love.’: Galatians 5:6b; Ephesians 2:8-10)
26) "For ye are all the children of God (only) by faith in Christ Jesus."
John 1:10-13: Of Christ, in the world which He had made:
10) “He (Jesus) was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not.
11) “He came unto His own (Israel, the Jews, the ‘circumcision’), and His own received Him not.
12) “But as many as received Him (believed on Him), to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believed on His name:
13) “Which were born (again), not of blood (of man), nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”
As time will permit, I will edit and enhance this blog to a fuller and more detailed measure. This is a brief discourse in this matter, and is by no means as complete as it could be, but I felt the necessity of putting it in the eyes of every interested person for current and, at least partial, study guide in the topic of Law and Faith.
The ‘fuller version’, I may call ‘Part Two’ of possibly many. However I shall not neglect other topics of as real importance as this one, with which topic many have wrestled with in their hearts and in their minds; and new denominations have been formed due to the lack of knowledge in this particular topic. This is but a basic study guide regarding the above topic(s).
God bless all ‘whosoevers’. God loves you: love Him back!

20) “Teaching them to observe (do, keep, and teach, just as you, the apostles do, keep, and teach) all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I AM with you always, even unto the end of the world (, which end, of those difficult times, may last for a few to several years after the removal of the Church from the earth, when Jesus comes to take us all away, to be with Him, wherever He shall be, for ever.).’ Amen.”
Therefore, the apostles preached, and taught, and wrote epistles and other accounts, as Jesus had commanded them; and that is now what we call the ‘New Testament’ (in Christ’s blood).
So there was indeed a transition from just the keeping of the law by the ‘letter’ of the written law, and the performance in the letter of the law by the ‘works’ of the law, which was not mixed with faith, to believing Christ, the Son of God for salvation by faith of Abraham unto 'good works', which are performed through faith, which worketh by love, which is accepted by God for righteousness.
Therefore, we now read the difference between the ‘works’ of the law, and the ‘good works’ of the spirit of the law through ‘faith, which worketh by love’, which, alone, is acceptable to God.
And by those ‘good works’, in which we are commanded in love to walk, we do not just ‘keep‘ the law of Moses, by ‘works‘ in the flesh of the doing of the letter, but we ‘establish the law’:
Romans 3:23-31: Extracting verses 30-31, not excluding the previous verses, which set the foundation for these two verses:
30) “Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
31) “Do we then make void the law (of Moses) through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law (by our performance of faith in love, accomplishing those works, that they might be ‘good works’, which are acceptable to God for righteousness).”
Knowing now the truth regarding the law of works, and the law of faith, we should no longer fear doing the works of the law by faith, which converts them to ‘good works’, labors of love to God, and to our neighbour.
Isaiah 41:10:
10) “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the Right Hand of my righteousness (Jesus, God‘s Son).”
II Timothy 3:16-17: Of the word of truth, the word of God Jehovah:
16) “All scripture (Old Testament, New Testament) is (specifically and precisely) given by (concise, firm and unchangeable) inspiration of God (Jehovah), and is (spiritually and logically) profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17) “That the man of God may be perfect (in the eyes of God), thoroughly furnished unto all ‘good works’.”
Ephesians 2:8-10:
8) “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God (to every one who believes in Jesus, the only begotten Son of the only true and living God Jehovah).
9) “Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10) “For we are HIS workmanship (we are under His construction), created (re-created, born again, a new man) in Christ Jesus unto ‘good works’ (which are performed in ‘faith, which worketh by love’), which God hath before (the foundation of the world) ordained that we should walk in (the performance of) them.”
Romans 9:30-32:
30) “What shall we say then? ‘That the Gentiles (every nation that is not Israel), which followed not after righteousness (by the law, which they did not have: Ephesians 2:11), have (now, even as Paul writes,) attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith (of Abraham, by Jesus Christ, the Seed of Abraham to whom the promise of righteousness by faith was given).
31) “But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness (by their ‘works‘ of the ‘letter‘ of the law), hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
32) “Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the (letter and by their) ‘works’ (, the ‘natural, physical performance by the flesh) of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling stone.”
John 4:23-24: Jesus speaking to the Samarian woman at the well:
23) “But the hour cometh, and now is (as Jesus preached the ‘kingdom of heaven’), when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him.
24) “God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”
Isaiah 28:8-13:
9) “Whom shall He teach knowledge? and whom shall He make to understand wisdom? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. (See Hebrews 5:12-14 below)
10) “For precept must be (coordinated) upon precept, precept upon (properly contextual) precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little (contextual truth), and there a little (more essential and perfectly complementary truth, to fill up to the truth of a principle of God within His word):
11) “For with stammering lips and another tongue (evidence of one who has received Spirit of truth, by the baptism with the Holy Ghost) will He speak to this people. (Joel 2:28-29, Acts 2:4, 38-39: 10:43-48)
12) “To whom (Israel, the Jews, the ‘Circumcision’) He said, ‘This is the rest (Sabbath) wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing (being made ‘free indeed’, in the spirit, and in truth: John 1:33; John 6:32, 36): yet they (Israel would not hear.
13) “But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared and taken (because of that stumblingblock, or stumbling stone, which is receiving true righteousness which is not obtained through works, but by faith of Abraham by Jesus Christ, God the Son, Who came in a body of pure and sinless flesh).”
(Hebrews 10:5; Hebrews 1:1-3; Galatians 4:4-5; Matthew 1:18)
From above, and in addition to Isaiah 28:9:
Hebrews 5:12-14:
12) “For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of god; and are become such as have need of milk (of the basic root principles of the word of truth), and not of strong meat (mature truth, knowledge and wisdom in the word of truth).
13) “For every one that useth milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
(I Peter 2:2: ‘As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.’)
14) “But strong meat belonged to them that are of full age (mature in the things of God, in word and in spirit), even those who (are weaned from the milk, and) by reason of use have their (spiritual) senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”
Did not Jesus keep the law? Yes, He did. But He preached the kingdom of heaven, which message began by John the Baptist, Jesus’ first cousin, who was six months older than Jesus, approximately, born to Elizabeth and Zachariah, a priest of Abia.
(John the Baptist was prophesied in Isaiah 40:3.)
Why did the law work for Jesus as He kept it, and not for the Jews of Israel, the ‘circumcision’, of the covenant of Abraham? Look at the scripture above: Romans 9:30-32.
Galatians 3:23-26:
23) “But before faith came, we (Jews) were kept under the law, shut up unto (held back from) the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24) “Wherefore the law was our ‘schoolmaster’ (teacher, instructor) to bring us to Christ (by the ‘shadow’, the law: Hebrews 10:1-4), that we might be justified (by God) by faith (of Abraham, believing in Christ, the Son of God).
25) “But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster (the law, for Christ is come, and we were brought to Him, therefore, because of faith, the ‘schoolmaster’ is no longer required, except in performance through ‘faith, which worketh by love.’: Galatians 5:6b; Ephesians 2:8-10)
26) "For ye are all the children of God (only) by faith in Christ Jesus."
John 1:10-13: Of Christ, in the world which He had made:
10) “He (Jesus) was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not.
11) “He came unto His own (Israel, the Jews, the ‘circumcision’), and His own received Him not.
12) “But as many as received Him (believed on Him), to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believed on His name:
13) “Which were born (again), not of blood (of man), nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”
As time will permit, I will edit and enhance this blog to a fuller and more detailed measure. This is a brief discourse in this matter, and is by no means as complete as it could be, but I felt the necessity of putting it in the eyes of every interested person for current and, at least partial, study guide in the topic of Law and Faith.
The ‘fuller version’, I may call ‘Part Two’ of possibly many. However I shall not neglect other topics of as real importance as this one, with which topic many have wrestled with in their hearts and in their minds; and new denominations have been formed due to the lack of knowledge in this particular topic. This is but a basic study guide regarding the above topic(s).
God bless all ‘whosoevers’. God loves you: love Him back!

Heaven’s Better
By Allan Thomasson
“Momma, when we get to heaven,
Mom, what color will we be?
Black, or white, or tan, or yellow?
What’s the color all will see?”
“Honey, heaven’s so much better. I Corinthians 2:9
Can’t imagine what is there.
There’s so much we must consider,
Since the Savior’s love we share. John 3:16-18; Ephesians 2:8-10; Acts 16:31; I John 1:9
John said we don’t know what we’ll be;
What we’ll see cannot be known. II Corinthians 5:16-17; I John 3:2-3
But we know that we’ll be like Him
When He comes to take us home. John 14:1-3
God’s ways, higher than our own ways. Isaiah 55:8-9
His thoughts, they are higher, too.
With our mind and heart upon Him, Matthew 22:37-40
He’ll show things to me and you; I Corinthians 2:10
Things that tell us how He loves us,
How He sent His Son to die, Romans 5:6, 8
So that we who will believe Him
Will live in His home on high.
Jesus came to earth to save us
From our sin and unbelief.
And the Bible says He’s coming, I Corinthians 15:51-54; II Peter 3:10-11
And He’ll take away our grief. Revelation 21:4
All our pain and mental torments
Will be over. Only love Isaiah 25:8; Revelation 7:17; Revelation 21:3-4
Will be known all over heaven,
When we reach that home above.
He will make new earth, new heaven, Revelation 21:1-5
And forever we will know
That our Father has forgiven,
Saved us, for He loves us so. I John 3:1
Things in heaven? So much better.
Things like we have never seen.
There is none who could describe it;
It is far beyond our dreams. I Corinthians 2:9
He’s prepared a place there for us, John 14:2
And He said “I’ll come again.”
Then for ever, we’ll be with Him,
For, for ever never ends. I Corinthians 15:51-52; I Thessalonians 4:15-18

Truth in Christ Commentaries:
John 6:63: Jesus said:
63) "It is the spirit that quickeneth (makes alive); the flesh profiteth nothing (spiritual): the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life."
You are welcome to ask me: 'Do you think you are the only one who knows the truth?'
And that would be a legimate question. And thanks for asking me, for this is the legitimate answer: 'I am not the only one who knows the truth...God is!'
I have a calling, and as God manifests and shares His truth with me by the Holy Ghost (the Spirit of truth), I write it, and speak it to everyone I can; and I inform you how you can also come to know the truth, according to the word of truth, the Christian Bible (Old and New Testament...takes both of them!), which are the scriptures.
For I was called to do just that; so I humbled myself before Almighty God my heavenly Father, and received the gift of love and compassion, with the gift of a charitable disposition toward each individual upon the face of the earth, just as God opened it to me.
And as God began to speak to this common and ordinary individual among many, I began to write, and to share. And since all the funds have already been provided by God Himself during my life, I neither receive, nor solicit any favors or donation for the thousands of thrilling hours of research, and writing, and contemplation, and meditation in the word of truth and life, for my compensationis that many of you will also know the truth, and worship, and know our God as I do, and reap the eternal rewards, as others will also, when they see us fulfilling the commandments of Jesus Christ, which are specifically these:
Matthew 22:37-40: A Pharisee lawyer tempted Jesus with a question; and Jesus answered{
37) "Jesus said unto him, 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.'
38) "This is the first and great commandment (in the law of Moses).
39) "And the second (great commandment in the law) is like unto it, 'Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.'
40) "On thewe two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."
John 14:15: Jesus speaks to His apostles, and to all of His disciples, which are all believers:
15) "If ye love Me, keep My commandments.
John 13:34-35: Christ again speaks to His apostles, and all disciples:
34) "A new commandment I give unto you, 'That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.'
35) "By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another."
John 14:21-24: The Lord is relating to His disciples these truths:
21) " 'He that hath My commandments, and keepeth (honors, observes, does) them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father,and I will love Him, and will manifest Myself to him.'
22) "Judas saith unto Him, not Iscariot, 'Lord, how is it that Thou wilt manifest Thyself unto us, and not unto the world (of unbelievers)?'
23) "Jesus answered and said unto him, 'If a man love Me, he will keep My words: and my Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him.
24) " 'He that loveth Me not keepeth not My sayings: and the word which ye hear (from Me) is not Mine, but th eFather's Which sent Me.'."
Deuteronomy 18:18-19: God speaks to the prophet Moses:
18) " 'I will raise them (Israel, the Jews, the 'Circumcision') a Prophet from among (not 'of') their brethren (for Jesus, 'that Prophet', was not of the flesh of sinless Adam, but of God the Holy Ghost:
Matthew 1:18; Hebrews 10:5; Galatians 4:3), like unto thee, and will put My words in His mouth; and He shall speak unto them all that I shall command Him.
19) " 'And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto My words which He shall speak in My name, I will require it of him (that does not hearken).'."
Matthew 28:18-20: Christ gives His last commands to the apostles:
18) "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, 'All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth.
19) " 'Go ye therefore, and teach all nations (the gospel), baptizing them (that believe the gospel of Jesus Christ unto salvation) in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20) " 'Teaching them to observe (do, keep, teach) all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.' Amen."
Throughout the scriptures, all of these things are more clearly defined, so we make no mistakes in their application; many of which I have already written and published on my Facebook.
It would give me great pleasure, and it would please our Lord, to know that many of you are already copying my writings of God's truth in the scriptures, which I have put on my Facebook, so that you also may know how to receive 'all truth' (by the Spirit of truth: John 16:12-13), and making a book of reference to those truths which have been opened to me. Not dogma, not creed, but the doctrine and the knowledge of God, which has been hidden, and ready to be revealed to all who follow on to know the Lord, as it is shown clearly in the following passage of scripture:
Acts 2:43-48a: Peter preaches to Cornelius and his gathering of other Gentiles:
43) " 'To Him (Jesus) give all the prophets witness, that through His name whosoever believeth in Him shall receive remission (taking away for ever) of (all their past) sins.'
44) "While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell (was outpoured) on all them which heard the word.
45) "And they of the circumcision (Jews) which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost (the promise of the Father: Acts 2:4, 38-39; Acts 1:4-5, 8).
46) "For they heard them speak with tongues (as the Spirit gave them the utterance), and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47) " 'Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have receied the Holy Ghost a swell as we (the Jews, the apostles, and other Jewish believers)?'
48a) "And he commanded them to be baptiaed in the name of the Lord."
I am in the process of making a complete outline of the scriptures, both in poetic and illustrative writings, declaring specifically all of the principles of God through Christ as they pertain to the body of Christ, the Church which Jesus built.
I also plan to publish books on each specific topic in which I will fully and in concise detail each point which is precisely and specifically given in the word of truth, God's word, the Christian Bible.
God wants each of us to know these things as He meant them to be, without any of man's thought, for we have the mind of Christ, if we are truly His.
Remember: God loves you; love Him back!
John 6:63: Jesus said:
63) "It is the spirit that quickeneth (makes alive); the flesh profiteth nothing (spiritual): the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life."

God wants each of us to know these things as He meant them to be, without any of man's thought, for we have the mind of Christ, if we are truly His.
Remember: God loves you; love Him back!
The steps to power (dunamis):
If you are not saved, believe in Jesus. He died for your sins so you wouldn't have to pay the eternal penalty. Believe in Him now, and you will have a destiny instead of a fate.
If you have not been baptized in water (fully immersed), do it when you have an opportunity, to honor what Jesus has done for you, for He was cruelly crucified on a merciless cross, buried in a tomb, and rose again, that we might be free, and looking forward to His return, when all believers will be changed to be as He is...eternal in the heaven.
If you have not been baptized with the Holy Ghost, receive the Spirit of truth, the Holy Ghost just as the apostles and hundreds of millions of others, including myself, did, that you might know the truth, and the truth shall make you free indeed. And you will speak with tongues, and your love for God will magnify in your heart.
II Timothy 2:15: And this is all up to you to know the truth of the scriptures by the Spirit of truth:
15) "Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed (neither here, nor at the judgment seat of Christ), rightly dividing (discerning, comprehending, and applying doctrinally) the word of truth."
Now, receive the victory over all the power of the enemy, because God loves you; now love Him back in all of these things: it is His promise to every one that follows on to know Him by these steps to real life and victory in Jesus, now, and in eternity, for we shall ever be with Him, without sickness, affliction, infirmity, sadness, crying, pain, or any thing of discomfort or uncertainty; for we shall be like Him:
I John 3:1-3:
1) "Behold, what manner of love the Father (Jehovah God) hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the 'sons of God': therefore the world (of the lost souls of men) knoweth us not, because it (they) knew Him not.
2) "Beloved, now are we the sons of God (for we have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God), and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear (to us at the time of rapture), we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is (as He has been glorified).
3) "And every man that hath this hope in Him purifieth himself, even ad He is pure."
I will continue to teach every one that God is love; and He loves you. Love Him back.
If you are not saved, believe in Jesus. He died for your sins so you wouldn't have to pay the eternal penalty. Believe in Him now, and you will have a destiny instead of a fate.
If you have not been baptized in water (fully immersed), do it when you have an opportunity, to honor what Jesus has done for you, for He was cruelly crucified on a merciless cross, buried in a tomb, and rose again, that we might be free, and looking forward to His return, when all believers will be changed to be as He is...eternal in the heaven.
If you have not been baptized with the Holy Ghost, receive the Spirit of truth, the Holy Ghost just as the apostles and hundreds of millions of others, including myself, did, that you might know the truth, and the truth shall make you free indeed. And you will speak with tongues, and your love for God will magnify in your heart.
II Timothy 2:15: And this is all up to you to know the truth of the scriptures by the Spirit of truth:
15) "Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed (neither here, nor at the judgment seat of Christ), rightly dividing (discerning, comprehending, and applying doctrinally) the word of truth."
Now, receive the victory over all the power of the enemy, because God loves you; now love Him back in all of these things: it is His promise to every one that follows on to know Him by these steps to real life and victory in Jesus, now, and in eternity, for we shall ever be with Him, without sickness, affliction, infirmity, sadness, crying, pain, or any thing of discomfort or uncertainty; for we shall be like Him:
I John 3:1-3:
1) "Behold, what manner of love the Father (Jehovah God) hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the 'sons of God': therefore the world (of the lost souls of men) knoweth us not, because it (they) knew Him not.
2) "Beloved, now are we the sons of God (for we have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God), and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear (to us at the time of rapture), we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is (as He has been glorified).
3) "And every man that hath this hope in Him purifieth himself, even ad He is pure."
I will continue to teach every one that God is love; and He loves you. Love Him back.
Truth In Christ Topical Commentaries: The Truth: The Pattern(s) of God:
Part One: The Pattern of God for the Church:
Is God specific in every thing He speaks, that we should adhere precisely to it?
Proverbs 30:5a:
5a) “Every word of God is pure:”
II Timothy 3:16:
16) “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17) “That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”
Ephesians 2:8-10:
8) “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.
9) “Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10) “For we are His workmanship, created (re-created, born again, a new man) in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”
Matthew 4:4: Jesus speaks to Satan when the Lord is tempted:
4) “But He answered and said, ‘It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.’.”
II Peter 1:21:
21) “For the prophecy (word) came not in ole time by the will of man: but holy (sanctified) men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.”
John 14:21-24: Jesus speaks to the disciples of the words of God:
21) “ ‘He that hath My commandments (not the ‘ten’, although they are fulfilled through faith, which worketh by love: Galatians 5:6b, Romans 13:8-10), and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love Him, and will manifest Myself to him.’
22) “Judas saith unto Him, not Iscariot, ‘Lord, how is it that Thou wilt manifest Thyself unto us, and not unto the world?’
23) “Jesus answered and said unto him, ‘If a man love Me, he will keep My words: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him.
24) “ ‘He that loveth Me not keepeth not My sayings (words, or, commandments): and the word which ye hear is not Mine, but the Father’s Which sent me.’.”
Deuteronomy 18:18-19: God is speaking to Moses:
18) “I will raise them (Jews, Israel, the ‘Circumcision’) up a Prophet from among their brethren (but not of the flesh of their brethren, for Jesus is the ‘Child of the Holy Ghost’ (Matthew 1:18), and not of Adam’s sinful flesh), like unto thee, and will put My words in His mouth; and He shall speak unto them all that I shall command Him.
19) “And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto My words which He shall speak in My name, I will require it of him (who does not hearken, whosoever he be).”
Isaiah 55:8-12:
8) “ ‘For My thoughts are not (as) your thoughts, neither are your ways (as) My ways’, saith the Lord.
9) “ ‘For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.
10) “ ‘For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11) “ ‘So shall My word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.’.”
Are there boundaries to the word of truth which we may cross, and still be in the will of God?
James 4:17:
17) Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin (transgression).”
James 2:10:
10) “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all (the law).”
Luke 12:48b:
48b) “For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required.”
And that is why God provided this escape from sins that we inadvertently commit as believers:
I John 2:1:
1) “My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate (Attorney, Lawyer) with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous:”
I John 1:9:
9) “If we confess our sins (unto God), He (God) is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
Just as salvation is sure to the believer, and the devil will be cast into the eternal lake of fire, so is the word of God, the scriptures:
Numbers 22:18: Balaam the prophet replies to Balak’s offer to him:
18) “And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, ‘If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the Lord my God, to do less or more.”
Revelation 22:18-19:
18) “For I (John) testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy (revelation) of this book, ‘If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19) “ ‘And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy (revelation), God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.’.”
In Part Two, we shall go into more detail as to what we must really expect of ourselves before the Father, as we work out our personal stewardship.
Here are the basic steps to successfully living in Christ, and serving our Lord; beginning with:
Step 1: Ye must be born again (saved, with your past sins taken away by believing in the only begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ, the Lord:
John 3:16-18:
16) “For God so loved the world (of sinners), that He gave His only Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17) “For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through (believing in) Him might be saved.
18) “He that believeth on Him is not condemned (by their past sins any longer): but he that believeth not is (still) condemned (by his past sins, being unforgiven), because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”
Step 2: Commit your life into the hands of God, and study the word of truth, how you may keep the new covenant of faith in Jesus; for you are personally responsible to God for what you believe in the word of truth, for you alone will be judged when you appear at the judgment seat of Christ, that you may receive just reward for your stewardship.
II Timothy 2:15:
15) “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman (steward) that needeth not to be ashamed (either during your stewardship, or at the judgment seat of Christ), rightly dividing the word of truth.”
Step 3: Now that you are a child of God on the path that leads to victory in Jesus, you need to be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Matthew 28:19.
Step 4: Receive the Holy Ghost (the Spirit of truth), whereby you may have access to the hidden wisdom and knowledge of God within the written and true word of God, the scriptures, and have access to the mysteries of God, even as Paul the apostle spoke of many times, that we may be fully informed of the things that God has prepared for them that love Him, and ‘follow on to know the Lord’, diligently learning His ways, discerning His thoughts.
(Remember Isaiah 55:8-11, above)
Here is the complete example, or manifestation of the Lord's giving of the gift of God to all men who will receive it through Christ Jesus:
Acts 10:43-48: Peter preaches the gospel, even to us, the Gentiles:
43) “To Him (Jesus) give all the prophets witness, that through His name whosoever believeth in Him shall receive remission of (all past) sins (which all have committed: Romans 3:23).
44) “While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word
45) “And they of the circumcision (Jews, Israelites) which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost (Joel 2:28).
46) “For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify (glorify) God. Then answered Peter,
47) “ ‘Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we (believing Jews and apostles)?’
48) “And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord (of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost). Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.”
And water baptism can be done either before, or after, receiving the Holy Ghost, as the scriptures clearly designate in various locations in the Bible.
Postlog:
I seek to please the Father, that He may use my calling to bring about blessing in the lives of others. I seek no acclaim, and do not seek donations, or any goods, services, or favors. All of those things will be regulated and controlled by the Father Himself.
As Paul said, ‘I am as ye are.’ Just love me also as a brother in Christ.
As believers, we are family; we are sisters and brothers in the Lord Jesus Christ: we are the Church, 'the body of Christ, and members in particular.': I Corinthians 12:27.
Speaking plainly, each of us has been assigned to become a particular functional part (member) of the body of Christ, as the Spirit of the Lord guides us. And that calling is the function of the body that we are to develop in Jesus, though we may also do good works of faith, by love, in other functions, as we are led by the Spirit to do so.
Paul wrote (II Timothy: 4:5) to Timothy, his fellow helper in the ministry of Jesus Christ, 'But watch (consider, evaluate, attend) thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist (preach the gospel to all people of all nations), make full proof of thy ministry (by the doing of it).'
We, as well, by the doing of whatever ministry is immediately set before us, we also make full proof of our ministry, to both God, and man, in the love of Christ that is within us, for all men are made in the image of God.

Tuesday, January 24, 2012
To every believer, or wannabe believer, to every Church that Jesus built, there is a message which cannot be withheld any longer. It is a fulfilment of scripture we have long misunderstood, and it must now be brought to full understanding in the whole body of Christ, which is every true believer in the Son of God, Jesus Christ, of every nation, and of every denomination, and those believers of no denomination.
As the body of Christ lay motionless and no longer retaining life in it, so has the Church been ‘sleeping’, while the devil tore us apart.
What was missing, that we began to divide, and be conquered by the devil in so many important doctrines and principles of God, which we allowed to slip away from us, and make us separate, member from member, leaving the body of Christ, the Church, more powerless than it ought to be, for the last two (‘days’) thousand years since Christ ascended back to the throne of God the Father, from whence He came?
We have ‘rationalized’ by our intellectual analysis of our doctrines, and eliminated the one power that the Church was saturated with, which doctrine was the ministry of Jesus, the baptism with the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of truth, Who alone is the One appointed by the Lord to ‘guide you into all truth.’ (John 16:12-13)
While it is the prime objective of the Church that Jesus built, to preach the gospel, we, as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, sons of God, are to become capable of perceiving, comprehending, conceiving, and understanding the truth that is within the word of truth.
Obviously, the greater portion of the denominational assemblies of the body of Christ, the Church, have not attained to that capability.
Look at us! We are hundreds of sub-particles of a once- combined and complete body of Christ. And we do not seem to be particularly concerned about that scenario.
For that reason, God gave Hosea, the prophet, this prophecy which is in regard to our current situation:
Hosea 6:1-3: (about BC724):
1) “Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for He hath torn (apart, separated us), and He will heal us; He hath smitten (us with partial blindness, and spiritual departure from Him), and He will bind us up (bandage us).
2) “After two days (two thousand years) will He revive us: in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live (once again) in His sight.
3) “Then shall we know (not be blind any more, or departed from Him and His ways), if we follow on to know the Lord: His going forth is prepared as the moorning; and He shall come unto us as the rain (the outpouring: Joel 2:28-29), as the latter (rain, as upon Elishah, in a greater proportion of His Spirit) and the former rain (as upon the about a hundred twenty on the day of Pentecost, which included the eleven apostles) unto the earth (flesh, us).”
Did we not read the scripture where God dealt with Jerusalem on a similar departure from the Lord God?:
Jeremiah 30:11: Israel had departed from God, and now returned:
11) “ ‘For I am with thee’, saith the Lord, ‘to save (deliver) thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.’.”
Yes, yes! We also have departed from the Lord, and been made into many ‘nations’ (denomi-nations!), in that we have come into non-conformance to His precise ‘pattern’ for the Church of Jesus Christ:
I Corinthians 1:10: Paul is saturated with the love of God, as he says:
10) “Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing (doctrines, truths), and that there be no divisions (denominations, separations) among you; but that you be perfectly joined (assembled, as ‘particular members’ are anatomically attached in their proper place) together in the same mind, and in the same judgment.”
How many ‘wannabe’ believers have stood, and are still standing on the outside looking in, trying to decide which denomination would be the right one to become affiliated with, because of the many varying doctrines each denomination is teaching?
Let me, at this appropriate time, advise you, who are in that situation:
‘Go ahead and at least temporarily affiliate yourself with one of the ‘evangelical’, or ‘fundamental’ Churches, who preach Christ, Who was crucified for your sins, personally, because He loved you. Then go here:
II Timothy 2:15: If you have, or when you, believe in Jesus Christ:
15) “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed (neither here or at the judgment), rightly dividing the word of truth (the Christian Bible).”
Trust God. He will work personally with you:
As Jesus spoke to a gathering of Jews that believed in Him unto their own salvation, and were born again:
John 8:32:
32) “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
Then He said more profoundly:
John 8:36:
36) “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.”
Why would Jesus tell saved believers they shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free? Weren’t they already free?
Not in the way of which Christ was speaking.
How does Christ Jesus make one who is already a believer ‘free’, and ‘free indeed’?
John the Baptist testified of Jesus, and of His one specific ministry which could not be administered until Christ was glorified in heaven with the Father, as He was before the world was made:
John 1:32-34: John speaks, and tells us God’s testimony of Jesus:
32) “And John (the Baptist, after he had baptized Jesus,) bare record, saying, ‘I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and It abode on Him.
33) “ ‘And I knew Him not: but He that sent me to baptize with water, the Same (God) said unto me, ‘Upon Whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, the Same is He which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.’
34) “ ‘And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.’.”
Baptism with the Holy Ghost? Yes. Jesus is still doing that ministry today, for the Church is still going. That ministry will not only continue, but will be given more intensively in the 'latter rain', or, outpouring (Joel 2:28), as we see the day approaching, for the Church that 'hears' His voice, and 'follow on to know the Lord', 'The shall we know...', and then we shall be free indeed, and then comes the last harvest of the earth of the lost souls of man, for the final work of God with the Gentile Church; for then all believers will be taken up in rapture to be with Christ for evermore, that, where He is, there shall we be also.
Now at this time, as Jesus walked and ministered to the Jews (exclusively, with few exceptions) on the earth, He never baptized anyone, neither with water nor with the Holy Ghost, for the Holy Ghost was not yet given, because that Jesus was not yet glorified. (See John 7:36-39)
The apostles were not even baptized with the Holy Ghost until the day of Pentecost, fifty days after Jesus had ascended back to the Father, where He was before the world was: John 17:5.
As the body of Christ lay motionless and no longer retaining life in it, so has the Church been ‘sleeping’, while the devil tore us apart.
What was missing, that we began to divide, and be conquered by the devil in so many important doctrines and principles of God, which we allowed to slip away from us, and make us separate, member from member, leaving the body of Christ, the Church, more powerless than it ought to be, for the last two (‘days’) thousand years since Christ ascended back to the throne of God the Father, from whence He came?
We have ‘rationalized’ by our intellectual analysis of our doctrines, and eliminated the one power that the Church was saturated with, which doctrine was the ministry of Jesus, the baptism with the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of truth, Who alone is the One appointed by the Lord to ‘guide you into all truth.’ (John 16:12-13)
While it is the prime objective of the Church that Jesus built, to preach the gospel, we, as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, sons of God, are to become capable of perceiving, comprehending, conceiving, and understanding the truth that is within the word of truth.
Obviously, the greater portion of the denominational assemblies of the body of Christ, the Church, have not attained to that capability.
Look at us! We are hundreds of sub-particles of a once- combined and complete body of Christ. And we do not seem to be particularly concerned about that scenario.
For that reason, God gave Hosea, the prophet, this prophecy which is in regard to our current situation:
Hosea 6:1-3: (about BC724):
1) “Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for He hath torn (apart, separated us), and He will heal us; He hath smitten (us with partial blindness, and spiritual departure from Him), and He will bind us up (bandage us).
2) “After two days (two thousand years) will He revive us: in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live (once again) in His sight.
3) “Then shall we know (not be blind any more, or departed from Him and His ways), if we follow on to know the Lord: His going forth is prepared as the moorning; and He shall come unto us as the rain (the outpouring: Joel 2:28-29), as the latter (rain, as upon Elishah, in a greater proportion of His Spirit) and the former rain (as upon the about a hundred twenty on the day of Pentecost, which included the eleven apostles) unto the earth (flesh, us).”
Did we not read the scripture where God dealt with Jerusalem on a similar departure from the Lord God?:
Jeremiah 30:11: Israel had departed from God, and now returned:
11) “ ‘For I am with thee’, saith the Lord, ‘to save (deliver) thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.’.”
Yes, yes! We also have departed from the Lord, and been made into many ‘nations’ (denomi-nations!), in that we have come into non-conformance to His precise ‘pattern’ for the Church of Jesus Christ:
I Corinthians 1:10: Paul is saturated with the love of God, as he says:
10) “Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing (doctrines, truths), and that there be no divisions (denominations, separations) among you; but that you be perfectly joined (assembled, as ‘particular members’ are anatomically attached in their proper place) together in the same mind, and in the same judgment.”
How many ‘wannabe’ believers have stood, and are still standing on the outside looking in, trying to decide which denomination would be the right one to become affiliated with, because of the many varying doctrines each denomination is teaching?
Let me, at this appropriate time, advise you, who are in that situation:
‘Go ahead and at least temporarily affiliate yourself with one of the ‘evangelical’, or ‘fundamental’ Churches, who preach Christ, Who was crucified for your sins, personally, because He loved you. Then go here:
II Timothy 2:15: If you have, or when you, believe in Jesus Christ:
15) “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed (neither here or at the judgment), rightly dividing the word of truth (the Christian Bible).”
Trust God. He will work personally with you:
As Jesus spoke to a gathering of Jews that believed in Him unto their own salvation, and were born again:
John 8:32:
32) “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
Then He said more profoundly:
John 8:36:
36) “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.”
Why would Jesus tell saved believers they shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free? Weren’t they already free?
Not in the way of which Christ was speaking.
How does Christ Jesus make one who is already a believer ‘free’, and ‘free indeed’?
John the Baptist testified of Jesus, and of His one specific ministry which could not be administered until Christ was glorified in heaven with the Father, as He was before the world was made:
John 1:32-34: John speaks, and tells us God’s testimony of Jesus:
32) “And John (the Baptist, after he had baptized Jesus,) bare record, saying, ‘I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and It abode on Him.
33) “ ‘And I knew Him not: but He that sent me to baptize with water, the Same (God) said unto me, ‘Upon Whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, the Same is He which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.’
34) “ ‘And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.’.”
Baptism with the Holy Ghost? Yes. Jesus is still doing that ministry today, for the Church is still going. That ministry will not only continue, but will be given more intensively in the 'latter rain', or, outpouring (Joel 2:28), as we see the day approaching, for the Church that 'hears' His voice, and 'follow on to know the Lord', 'The shall we know...', and then we shall be free indeed, and then comes the last harvest of the earth of the lost souls of man, for the final work of God with the Gentile Church; for then all believers will be taken up in rapture to be with Christ for evermore, that, where He is, there shall we be also.
Now at this time, as Jesus walked and ministered to the Jews (exclusively, with few exceptions) on the earth, He never baptized anyone, neither with water nor with the Holy Ghost, for the Holy Ghost was not yet given, because that Jesus was not yet glorified. (See John 7:36-39)
The apostles were not even baptized with the Holy Ghost until the day of Pentecost, fifty days after Jesus had ascended back to the Father, where He was before the world was: John 17:5.
