I think one of the things that I most detest in religion is that
mankind believes that they can define God. That mankind believes
that they can define God is the pinnacle of arrogance.....and the
antithesis of meek and humble. It is enough that God has defined me
and you. It is enough that God has provided a Sacrificial Lamb to
provide the method, and the focus, for my personal eternal journey of
self discovery within God. My life here on earth is just a beginning.
The best way to find out about The Lord, Jesus Christ
is to establish a relationship with Him and to read about Him in the
Scriptures. Below I have recorded some scriptures that reflect His
nature.
If you don't have a Bible there is a great Online Bible at the
following link:

The King James version is:

have that word or phrase will be brought to you.

OPINION: I don't think we are to
consider too much on what Christ looked like....it is not
important....and should not be a point of division for
Believers. He did not come down for us to get fixed on His
looks....we are to get
fixed on His heart. There is not sin in having a picture
of Him, if we know the picture is not truly His image. Such is
not an idol. Some would say that kneeling before a cross to pray
would be kneeling before an Idol. Our Christ knows our hearts.
If our hearts are set on financial gain above all else...than our
hearts are set on idols....and so on. If our hearts are set on
Christ returning and establishing His Kingdom.....no matter what
happens to us in the process.....than our hearts are set on
Christ...and God's Will. Humans get so petty on issues that have
nothing to do with salvation...and love of God.
|
MORE OPINION:
Christ is our Doorway, our
Lamb......in my eyes any who have Christ and look forward
with all their hearts to His return, or to what He has
promised, who want His Will not theirs, are Christians.
Mankind throughout the ages have fought and divided
the Believers over trying to define that which they
cannot understand, That which is so far above them
that they will not be able to understand it until
Christ, our King, Our Savior is once more with us
during the 1,000 year reign of the Millennium that I
hope is soon to come. Our King will then teach truth
for 1,000 years, not letting any man teach otherwise.
At the end of that time, Satan will be allowed to
interfere on earth again, and those who decide to
follow satan, will not do so because they were not
taught the truth.....but because their hearts are
aligned with the Dragon.....not Our Lord.
Psalms 118:8
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put
confidence in man.
I
don't let any man of earth teach me, that includes the
Councils of Nicaea and those who proclaim to be
prophets after Christ ascended. The Holy Spirit was
given to all who accept Jesus Christ as their Savior,
and the Holy Spirit is a perfect teacher.....depending
on the openness, humbleness, meekness, teach ability
of the student. It
is so tiring hearing this or that church say that this
other church is false,.....wading through the heavy
doctrinal issues that man has applied to the path of
salvation....so you can be sure you are
aligned correctly? Nothing of man has meaning. We
are not to look towards man for our truths. Christ's
yoke is easy, and simple.
God the
Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit......they
RULE! Understanding how that is, or not
understanding.....is not at all going to keep anyone
from salvation because our Savior is the Lamb, who
is Jesus Christ, Who said, Believe Upon Me. I do.
He can explain the relationship of the three in
person someday. It is not a salvation issue to
understand it accurately. Christ said, I am in the
Father, He is in Me, you will be in Me and I will be
in you. That is enough for me.
The words of Jesus' prayer (below) to the
Father apply to all of us who believed the words
that were taught to the Apostles by Christ. Jesus
was praying this before He was to be crucified. We
too will be one with them! I know Jesus told us to
pray to the Father, and do it in Jesus' name, via
the power of the Holy Spirit.
The Dragon uses
the various egos of man to divide what is so simple,
and such an easy yoke, as Christ, Himself said...."My
burden is light, my yoke is easy." Mankind struggles
with power and ego issues, turning many away.
There is much that is
confusing in the Bible..... that is what the Holy
Spirit has taught me, and many others too, that are
non-denominational, and even those that are within
all sorts of denominations who don't listen to man,
but to the Holy Spirit. Those who follow the Holy
Spirit and Christ first, above and beyond any church
prophets, or teachers of mankind are Christians.
All churches contain error, because all churches
contain mankind, and mankind, without the help of
the Holy Spirit and constant daily prayer is subject
to the whim of the Dragon.
"Lead us not
into temptation and deliver us from evil"
should be a daily prayer, because Christ knows that
we need daily protection until we are transfigured.
|
EVEN MORE OPINION:
God expects us to put all scripture
together into one harmonious story. If
you are devouring the word of God, when
you have almost completed the
meal......you will have the information
you need to figure things out. Christ,
Himself, said He speaks in parables, and
in such ways to keep the truth hidden from
the ways of the world, from those who are
busy in the world. The more we are in the
world and practice the ways of the world,
the more truths will be hidden from us,
which are right there for the finding.
But we have to be eager for the truth,
want it above all other things of the
world.
These truths are not salvational, they are
a greater picture of Our Lord. Salvation
is simple...it
is recognizing our nature without Christ
(LOST),
asking Christ to be Our Lord
(FOUND),
setting our egos aside so that He can
begin the process of changing our nature
via the HOLY SPIRIT that is our gift from
Our Lord, and accepting that He paid our
price on the cross with His earthly death,
so that we might have Eternal Life within
Him (CHANGED).
And, it was meant to be simple. But,
mankind, in the world, tries to make that
part which should be simple, complex,
adding all man's doctrine to the simple
truth of salvation. Causing division
within the Body. Thank God, that He has
the mercy and grace to overcome mankind's
quibbles.

IN JESUS'S OWN WORDS: (Below) |
Matthew
11:29-30 (Jesus speaking)
Take my yoke upon you, and
learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye
shall find rest unto your souls.
For my yoke is
easy, and my burden is light.
Matthew 22:36-40
Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him (Jesus) a question,
testing Him, and saying, "Teacher, which is the great
commandment in the law?"
Jesus said to him,"You
shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all
your soul, and with all your mind. This is the
first and great commandment. And the second is like it:
You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two
commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."
John 10:7 Then
said Jesus unto them again,
Verily, verily, I say unto
you, I am the
door of the sheep.
John
10:9 (Jesus speaking)
I am the door:
by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go
in and out, and find pasture.
|
|
JOHN 3: 5-21 (RED
words are Jesus' words) |
|
5-Jesus answered,
Verily, verily, I say unto
thee, Except a man be born of
water
(here on earth within
the
waters
below the firmament)
and of the
Spirit
(When we receive our
transfigured spiritual bodies we will have been born
again.....and this process starts with the Holy Spirit residing
within us when we accept Christ as our Master and Savior.)
he cannot enter into
the kingdom of God. |
|
6-That
which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of
the Spirit is spirit. |
|
7-Marvel not that
I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. |
|
8-The wind bloweth
where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst
not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one
that is born of the Spirit.
listeth
1st Cor
12:11,
Heb 2:4
|
|
9-Nicodemus answered and said unto him,
How can these things be? |
|
10-Jesus answered and said unto him,
Art thou a master of
Israel, and knowest not these things?
(Those in the time of Jesus and the Apostles were familiar
with,....were "masters" of the knowledge of Israel's history....
the Books that were not included in the Bible by the Councils of
Nicaea,..... including the Book of Enoch who lived in the time
of Adam).
In the Book of Enoch it is written that the
waters above the firmament is where God the
Father, Who is SPIRIT, resides, and these "waters" will never be
muddied. According to one of the
books that were not put in the Bible...I think it was the book of
Enoch... even the angels cannot go there where God the Father Eternal
resides. (Christ can, because He is the Only Begotten Son of the
Father, and is One with the Father!) The Angels can only go back and
forth from the separating "firmament" (the Heaven that separates the
waters above from
the waters below the firmament
)where they reside
to the waters below....our earth
realm...which includes our entire universe....where Jesus
Christ prepared our home and our bodies (our water birth) for our
Spirits to be placed within during our restoration process here on this
earth in these "waters" below the firmament.....where we have a chance
to set our "wills" aside to accept the Will of the Father through His
Son Jesus Christ...by believing and accepting Jesus Christ, and than
receiving
the Gift of the Holy Spirit (the beginning of our Spiritual birth.)
if they truly believe and are not taking the Lord's Name in
vain.
(Read the first
verses of Genesis...especial vs 6.)
The Angels reside in the Heaven/firmament that separates the two
"waters". This makes sense, because the
angels can become "fallen" just as man became "fallen".
1/3 of the Angels were seduced by satan and followed him. These are the same ones that will be coming to earth
in our near future. If they were "Spirit" they would be "in" The
Father, and would be perfect and incapable of falling. Perhaps
this is why 1/3 of the Angels followed the dragon when he became upset
about man's creation and God's
PLAN
for our restoration?????
Which, when that hapens we will be in Christ as Christ is in the Father and the
Father is in Christ....and when next we see Him we will be like Him!)
Sounds like a
greater glory eventually than what was planned for the Angels!
|
|
11-Verily,
verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify
that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
|
|
12-If
I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye
believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? |
|
13-And
no man hath ascended up to
heaven, but he that came down
from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
(This "HEAVEN" differs from the one where
Enoch, Elijah, and possibly Moses were taken up to. They
were taken to the Heaven where the Angels were. Christ is
here telling His Apostles that no man has been to the Heaven
where the Father resides, accept Him, who. while talking to His
Apostles at this time was in the flesh as Son of Man.) |
|
14-And as Moses
lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of
man be lifted up: |
|
15-That whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. |
|
16-For God so
loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
everlasting life.
only
Gen 22:2
|
|
17-For God sent
not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the
world through him might be saved. |
|
18-He that
believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is
condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of
the only begotten Son of God. |
|
19-And this is
the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and
men loved darkness
rather than light,
because their deeds were evil. |
|
20-For every one
that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light,
lest his deeds should be reproved.
(Perhaps we could discern the good or evil
in our governing bodies by applying these words of Christ.
Think upon this....all that is kept in the dark within our
country today so the people will not know. If someone
strives to keep things "secret" and "hidden" they are following
the dark way.) |
|
21-But he that
doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made
manifest, that they are wrought in God. |
|

John 3:36 (John the Baptist is
speaking): He that believeth on
the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not
the Son shall not see life;

him. |

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that
heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting
life, and shall not come into condemnation; but
is passed from death
unto life.
John 6:35==And Jesus said unto them,
I am the bread of life: he that cometh to
me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never

If any man thirst, let him come unto me,

JOHN
15, 16, 17, (Christ Speaking) |
John 15: (Jesus Speaking)(4) Abide
in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot
bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in
the vine, neither can you, unless you
abide in Me. (5)I am the vine, you are
the branches. He who abides in Me, and
I in him, bears much fruit; for
without Me you can do nothing. (6) If
anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast
out as a branch and is withered; and they
gather them and throw them into the fire,
and they are burned. (7) If you abide in
Me, and My words abide in you, you will
ask what you desire, and it shall be done
for you. (8) By this My Father is
glorified, that you bear much fruit; so
you will be My disciples. (9) As the
Father loved Me, I also have loved you;
abide in My love. (10) If you keep My
commandments, you will abide in My love,
just as I have kept My Father's
commandments and abide in His love. (11)
These things I have spoken to you, that My
joy may remain in you, and that your joy
may be full. (12) This is My commandment,
that you love one another as I have loved
you. (13) Greater love has no one than
this than to lay down one's life for his
friends. (14) You are My friends if you
do whatever I command you. (15) No longer
do I call you servants, for a servant does
not know what his master is doing; but
I
have called you friends, for all things
that I heard from My Father I have made
known to you. (16) You did not choose Me,
but I chose you and appointed you that you
should go and bear fruit, and that your
fruit should remain, that whatever you ask
the Father in My name He may give you.
(17) These things I command you, that you
love one another.
John 16: (Jesus Speaking) (33)
These things I have spoken to you, that in
Me you may have peace. In the world you
will have tribulation; but be of good
cheer, I have overcome the world
John 17: (Jesus, praying to the Father)
(1)(2) Jesus spoke these words, lifted up
His eyes to heaven, and said: "Father, the
hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your
Son also may glorify You, as You have given
Him authority over all flesh, that He should
give eternal life to as many as you have given
Him." (3)And this is eternal life, that they
may know You, the only true God, and Jesus
Christ who You have sent. (4)-(7) I have
glorified You on the earth. I have finished
the work which You have given Me to do. And
now, O Father, glorify Me together with
Yourself, with the glory which I had with You
before the world was. I have manifested
your name to the men (Apostles) whom You have
given Me out of the world. They were Yours,
You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your
word. Now they have known that all things
which You have given Me are from You. (8)
For I have given to them the words which You
have given Me; and they have received them,
and have known surely that I came forth from
You; and they have believed that You sent Me.
(9) I pray for them, I do not pray for the
world but for those whom You have given Me,
for they are Yours. (10)And all Mine are
Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified
in them. (11) Now I am no longer in the
world, but these are in the world, and I come
to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name
those whom You have given Me,
that they may
be one as We are. (14) I have given them
Your word; and the world has hated them
because they are not of the world, just as I
am not of the world. (15) I do not pray that
You should take them out of the world, but
that You should keep them from the evil one.
(16) They are not of the world, just as I am
not of the world. (17)Sanctify them by Your
truth. Your word is truth. (20)
I do not
pray for these alone, but also for those who
will believe in Me (us
Christians) through their word. (22)
And the glory which You gave Me I have given
them, that
they may be one just as We are
one; (23)
I in them, and You in Me;
that they may be made perfect in one, and
that the world may know that You have sent Me,
and have loved them as you have loved Me.
(24) Father, I desire that they also whom You
gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they
may behold My glory which You have given Me;
for You loved Me before the foundation of the
world. (26) And I have declared to them Your
name, and will declare it, that the love with
which You loved Me may be in them, and I in
them.

Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now
justified by his blood, we shall be saved
from wrath through him.
Romans 10: 9-10..if you confess with
your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has
raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Corinthians 16-17 Do you not know that
you are the temple of God and that the
Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone
defiles the temple of God, God will destroy
him. For the temple of God is holy, which
temple you are. |
2 Corinthians 5:17==Therefore if any man
be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed
away; behold, all things are become new.

19:28
2 Corinthians 11:3
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve
through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from
the simplicity that is in
Christ.

Corinthians 4:4 In whom
the god
of this world hath blinded the minds of them
which believe not, lest the light of the glorious
gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine
unto them. |

Ephesians 3:9 And to make all men see what is
the fellowship of the mystery, which from the
beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who
created all things by Jesus Christ:
Ephesians 4: 30-32 And do not grieve the
Holy Spirit of
God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil
speaking be put away from you, with all malice.
And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one
another, just as God in Christ also forgave you.
(It is
totally evil to say that members of another church which also
believes on the Lamb, Jesus Christ, Our Savior, are going to
hell. That is done all the time by almost every denomination.
Only God knows each individual human's destiny. Jesus
Christ, Our Salvational Lamb is the Doorway....man's very
limited ability to understand the nature of that Doorway while
here on earth, let alone after He ascended....should preclude
man from judging another who accepts Jesus Christ's death on the
cross as the vehicle to eternity in God's Will.)
Philippians 1:6==Being confident of this very
thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it
until the day of Jesus Christ: (The "day of
Jesus Christ" is the Last great Day of the Lord's return!)
|
Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you
through philosophy and vain deceit,
after the tradition of men,
after the rudiments of the world, and not
after Christ.
Only having Jesus Christ within one will keep them from
being deceived....and the only way to have Jesus Christ
within one is to accept Him as one's Savior. None of the
gods of the other religions can save us.....because they
have not died for us to pay the death sentence that came
with our Fall.

Thessalonians 1:10 And to wait
for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from
the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us
from the wrath to come.

God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to
obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

1 Timothy
3:16 And without controversy great is the
mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the
flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels,
preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the
world, received up into glory. |

Timothy 1:9 (Jesus) Who hath saved us,
and called us with an holy calling, not
according to our works, but according
to his own purpose and grace,
which was given
us in Christ Jesus before the world began, |

James 1:5
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God,
that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth
not; and it shall be given him.
James 4:7-8==(7)Submit yourselves therefore to
God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (8) Draw nigh to
God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and
purify your hearts, ye double minded.
James 4: 10==Humble yourselves in the sight of
the Lord, and he shall lift you up. (to be "humble" is to be
teachable...to be teachable to the Word of God is the road to being
lifted up.)

11..Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last:
and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the
seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna,
and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto
Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;

Christ is telling John that the things he will be seeing are
things of the past,
of the
present, and
of the future. This verse is another reason that I
believe the Scroll that only our Lamb can open represented the
beginning and the ending of Jesus' experience with man.)

Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth
shall worship him (the beast), whose names are not written
in the book of life of the Lamb
slain from the foundation of the world.
(Note it says that the Book of Life
belongs to the Lamb...who is Jesus Christ...a lamb
sacrificed for us. He is the only One who can keep a
person from being deceived...and ultimately lost.)
Revelation 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was,
and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit,
and go into perdition: and
they that
dwell on the earth shall
wonder,
(they will be in awe
and will be deceived by the beast.)
whose
names were not written in the book of life
from
the
foundation of the world, when they behold the beast
that
was, and is not, and yet is.
(The dragon
was in the Beginning of our creation,
and
was not, for the most part of the Millennium(
having been bound again in the bottomless pit during the
Bowl Wrath at the beginning of the Millennium,...and
yet is
once more during the last hour of the Millennium when he
was loosed again to test those who were perfectly taught
about good and evil and the Will of Jesus Christ and the
Father. His "is" didn't last very long because he
was cast into perdition and the 2nd Death.
