Adventure.....  The Free Gift of Grace that Jesus PAID FOR IN FULL ON THE CROSS , is offered up for ALL man. But one STILL has to BELIEVE and RECEIVE that Free Gift of Grace Given, in order for the Gift to TAKE AFFECT. God will not force us to BELIEVE AND ACCEPT His Free Gift of Grace given, even though He has already paid the price in full. God leaves the CHOICE up to us .....to either Recieve or to Reject God's Free Gift of Grace ,Given for all. The Gift is FREELY OFFERED UP FOR US ALL , because God ALREADY PAID THE PRICE IN FULL ON THAT CROSS. Adventure... Let's say you have an Uncle John who has gone home to be with The Lord... and Uncle John left behind His Last Will and Testament ....and in his Will it states that he has left for you a great legacy. Now Adventure, UNLESS you BELIEVE Uncle John has actually left for you a great legacy in the first place, and UNLESS YOU also go RECEIVE that legacy left for you; the legacy will just SIT THERE and do you no good at all, IF you JUST IGNORE AND REFUSE TO BELIEVE AND RECEIVE THE LEGACY LEFT FOR YOU . YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE THERE IS ACTUALLY A GREAT LEGACY LEFT FOR YOU, ANS THEN YOU HAVE TO GO RECEIVE THE LEGACY LEFT WAITNG FOR YOU TO RECEIVE, IN ORDER FOR THE LEGACY TO DO YOU ANY GOOD. THE GREAT LEGACY IS THERE WAITING FOR YOU TO GO CLAIM IT....BUT IT WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY FALL INTO YOUR LAP. YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE IT AND THEN GO RECEIVE IT!!! GOD , IN HIS LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT , HAS ALSO LEFT US WITH A GREAT GREAT GREAT LEGACY !!!! IT IS JUST WAITING THERE FOR US TO BELIEVE... AND THEN TO RECEIVE !!!! AMEN??? AMEN!!!! |

Question: "What do John 1:1,14 mean when they declare
that Jesus is the Word of God?" Answer: The answer to this question is found by first understanding the reason why John wrote his gospel. We find his purpose clearly stated in John 20:30-31. “Many other signs therefore Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have LIFE IN HIS NAME.” Once we understand that John’s purpose was to introduce the readers of his gospel to Jesus Christ, establishing WHO Jesus is (GOD IN THE FLESH ) and what He did, all with the sole aim of leading them to embrace the saving work of CHRIST IN FAITH, we will be better able to understand why John introduces JESUS as “THE WORD” in John 1:1. By starting out his gospel stating, “In the beginning WAS THE WORD, and THE WORD was WITH God, and THE WORD WAS God,” John is introducing Jesus with a word or a term that both his Jewish and Gentile readers would have been familiar with. The Greek word translated “WORD” in this passage is LOGOS, and it was common in both Greek philosophy and Jewish thought of that day. For example, in the Old Testament the “WORD” of God is often PERSONIFIED as an INSTRUMENT FOR THE EXECUTION OF GOD'S WILL (Psalm 33:6; 107:20; 119:89; 147:15-18). So, for his Jewish readers, by introducing JESUS as the “WORD,” John is in a sense pointing them back to the Old Testament where the LOGOS or “WORD” OF GOD is associated with the PERSONIFICATION OF GOD'S REVELATION. And in Greek philosophy, the term LOGOS was used to describe the INTERMEDIATE AGENCY BY WHICH GOD CREATED MATERIAL THINGS AND COMMUNICATED WITH THEM . In the Greek worldview, the LOGOS was thought of as a BRIDGE between the TRANSCENDENT GOD and the MATERIAL UNIVERSE. Therefore, for his Greek readers the use of the term LOGOS would have likely brought forth the idea of a MEDIATING PRINCIPLE BETWEEN GOD AND THE WORLD. So, essentially, what John is doing by introducing JESUS AS THE LOGOS is drawing upon a familiar word and concept that both Jews and Gentiles of his day would have been FAMILIAR WITH and using that as the starting point from which He introduces them to JESUS CHRIST. But John goes beyond the familiar concept of LOGOS that his Jewish and Gentile readers would have had and presents Jesus Christ not as a mere MEDIATING PRINCIPLE like the Greeks perceived, but as a PERSONAL BEING, FULLY DIVINE, YET FULLY HUMAN. Also, CHRIST was not simply a personification of God’s revelation as the Jews thought, but was indeed GOD'S PERFECT REVELATION OF HIMSELF IN THE FLESH, so much so that John would record Jesus’ own words to Philip: "Jesus said unto Him, 'Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how do you say, "Show us the Father"?'" (John 14:9). By using the term LOGOS or “WORD” in John 1:1; John is amplifying and applying a concept that was familiar with his audience and using that to introduce his readers to the TRUE LOGOS OF GOD IN JESUS CHRIST, THE LIVING WORD OF GOD,FULLY GOD YET FULLY MAN, WHO CAME TO REVEAL GOD TO MAN AND REDEEM ALL WHO BELIEVE IN HIM FROM THEIR SIN. gotquestions.org |

Jesus IS The Word.
The Holy Bible IS The Word of God. The Words in the Bible are not just a guide to God.....The Words in The Bible are God Inspired, God Breathed, and GIVE LIFE. There is LIFE in the WORD. GOD IS THE WORD. The ENTRANCE of GOD'S WORD GIVES LIFE !!!! That is why the Holy Bible is not just a guide to God, but IS THE VERY WORD OF GOD HIMSELF....WHICH GIVES LIFE. LIFE ETERNAL. THE WORD OF GOD IS THE BELIEVER'S DAILY BREAD. SPIRITUAL FOOD. FOUND ON EVERY PAGE OF THE BIBLE. THe WRITTEN Word of God is LOGOS. But When the Word Enters into our Spirit,it becomes RHEMA. THERE IS LIFE IN THE WORD. GOD'S HOLY WORD IS NOT JUST WORDS WRITTEN ON THE PAGES OF THE BIBLE. GOD IS THE WORD. |

Cowboy,This is why you need to get into a good bible
study, and find a good bible based church, before teaching on here. The bible says, 'To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord". Find the scripture. MANY scriptures point to THE ONE GOD. (And NO , the bible does NOT teach that "One God" is just a "TITLE" of Authority over many entities or beings!!! And NO...the bible does NOT teach that "One God" is just "ONE GOVERNMENT" over many entities ..... And NO....the bible does NOT teach that "One God" means a FAMILY of ONE ...like brothers and sister in a FAMILY of ONE ....NO!!! Find ALL the MANY Scripturs that CLEARLY show GOD is THE ONE GOD, WHO IS ONLY ONE SUPREME BEING ONLY !!! Find them and Then study them. Not my job.

Cowboy, to better understand how God can be 3
PERSONS WITHIN ONLY ONE ENTITY(ONE SUPREME BEING ) , do a study on the many different Attributes and Characteristics of God. The study will help you understand how Jesus came to dwell with us as God INCARNATE , and yet would STILL REMAIN ONE ENTITY WITH GOD THE FATHER . GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON,AND GOD THE HOLY SPRIT ARE ONLY ONE SUPREME BEING (ONE ENTITY), AND WILL ALWAYS AND FOREVER BE ONLY ONE SUPREME BEING !!!! THAT IS WHY, WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT COMES TO DWELL IN A BELIEVER'S HEART, GOD THE FATHER,GOD THE SON,AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT IS ACTUALLY DWELLING IN THE BELIEVER'S HEART ,THRU THE HOLY SPIRIT !!! THAT IS WHY WE BELIEVERS JUST SAY, GOD LIVES IN OUR HEART.....OR ,JESUS LIVES IN OUR HEART.....OR ,THE HOLY SPIRIT LIVES IN OUR HEART.....BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD !!! WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ONLY ONE GOD ALMIGHTY !!! CAUSE THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD ALMIGHTY !! THE THREE PERSONS ARE ONLY ONE GOD ( ONE SUPREME BEING ONLY )!!! I KNOW IT IS A MYSTERY,COWBOY... BUT ASK GOD TO MAKE THIS CLEAR AND HE WILL. STUDY THE MANY ATTRIBUTES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF GOD NOW.... GOD BEING ONLY ONE SUPREME BEING ONLY, SHOULD THEN BECOME CLEAR TO YOU. THIS SHOULD HELP ALSO: WHEN A BELIEVER DIES AND LEAVES HIS EARTHLY BODY BEHIND, AND HIS SOUL AND SPIRIT GO TO HEAVEN, HE IS STILL ONE BEING, REGARDLESS OF THE TEMPORARY SEPARATION OF HIS BODY FROM HIS SOUL AND SPIRIT. WHEN A BELIEVER'S BODY IS RESSURRECTED LATER INTO HIS NEW RESSURRECTED BODY, AND IS JOINED WITH HIS SOUL AND SPIRIT ONE DAY AGAIN, HE IS STILL ONE BEING....AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE BEING..AND WILL ALWAYS BE ONE BEING...EVEN THOUGH FOR A TIME HIS SOUL AND SPIRIT WILL BE SEPARATED FROM HIS BODY. THE TEMPORARY SEPARATION DOES NOT TAKE AWAY FROM THE FACT THAT HE IS ONE BEING..AND ALWAYS WILL BE ONE BEING. GOD IS ALSO ONE BENG....BUT GOD IS A SUPREME BEING !!! MAN IS A TRI-UNE BEING..GOD IS A TRI-UNE SUPREME BEING !! MAN IS ONLY ONE HUMAN BEING....GOD IS ONLY ONE SUPREME BEING!!

RELIGION. CHRISTINAITY IS ALL ABOUT LIFTING UP JESUS..THE SAVOUR SENT FOR ALL MANKIND !!! THE CENTRAL THEME OF THE HOLY BOOK CALLED THE BIBLE ,IS JESUS CHRIST !! CHRISTIANITY TEACHES THAT THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD...AND JESUS IS THE CENTRAL THEME THRUOUT THE WHOLE BIBLE !!!! THE WHOLE BIBLE POINTS MAN TO JESUS AS SAVIOUR...NOT TO JUST JOINING ANOTHER RELIGION !!!! AGAIN...CHRISTIANITY WAS NEVER NEVER MEANT TO BE TURNED INTO JUST ANOTHER RELIGION !! MAN DID THAT !!!! BUT DON'T LET THAT STOP YOU FROM KNOWING JESUS CHRIST OF THE BIBLE. JESUS CHRIST ..THE SAVIOUR WHO CAME FOR THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD.....NOW THAT IS WHAT CHRISTIANITY IS TRULY ALL ABOUT !!! |

RELIGION IS MAN REACHING TOWARDS GOD.
RELATIONSHIP IS GOD REACHING TOWARDS MAN. MAN MAY START OFF WITH JUST RELIGION, BUT WHEN GOD DRAWS MAN UNTO HIMSELF, GOD FINDS MAN AND SAVES MAN AND RESTORES MAN INTO RIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD ONCE MORE. WHEN GOD FINDS(DRAWS ) MAN AND RESTORES MAN UNTO HIM, MAN NO LONGER JUST HAS RELIGION,BUT NOW HAS RELATIONSHIP. MAN HAS RESTORED RELATIONSHIP NOW WITH GOD ONCE MORE. SIN NO LONGER HAS A HOLD ON MAN NOR SEPARATES HIM FROM GOD ANYMORE. WHEN MAN BELIEVES AND ACCEPTS JESUS AS SAVIOUR (JESUS IS GOD THE SON WHOM GOD THE FATHER SENT TO SAVE US ), THEN MAN'S SINS ARE FORGIVEN NOW AND ARE ALLL COVERED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS. GOD SEEKS (DRAWS) HIS LONG LOST SHEEP AND BRINGS THEM HOME!!! BUT MAN BY HIMSELF, IS UNABLE TO SEEK AFTER GOD UNTIL GOD DRAWS HIM FIRST... UNTIL THEN, MAN WILL ONLY TRY TO FIND HIS OWN WAY TO GOD, AND NOT GOD'S WAY BACK TO GOD ( THIS IS BECAUSE SIN HAS SEPARARED MAN FROM GOD AND MAN'S EYES ARE BLIND ....THAT IS WHY MAN IS NOT ABLE TO TRULY SEEK AFTER GOD.....NOT UNTIL GOD DRAWS HIM FIRST). UNLESS GOD FIRST DRAWS MAN UNTO HIM, NO ONE CAN BE SAVED , AND BROUGHT BACK INTO RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD ( WHICH COMES ONLY THRU BELIEVING AND ACCEPTING JESUS AS SAVIOUR....THE ONE GOD SENT TO SAVE THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD....THE ONE WHO IS FOR ALL PEOPLE IN EVERY RELIGION ). ONE IS ABLE TO BE JOINED BACK INTO RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, ONLY THRU BELIEVING AND ACCEPTING JESUS. SIN SEPARATED ALL MAN FROM GOD....JESUS IS THE MEDIATOR BETWEEN MAN AND GOD...AND IS THE ONLY ONE THRU WHOM WE ARE ABLE TO BE BROUGHT BACK HOME TO GOD....AND BE RESTORED INTO RIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD ONCE MORE.

Chocolina said: ========================================================= Christianity is based on the life and teachings of Jesus =========================================================== If you claim you follow Jesus Christ then you follow Christianity if B=C , then C=B CowboyGH said: Not exactly….. But "Christianity" is man made so to speak, it is a belief system all in it's ow CowboyGH . Christians follow Jesus Christ and his teaching , Christianity is based on the life and teachings of Jesus You claimed : CowboyGH said: No I'm not a Christian. I don't follow the teachings of Christianity, I follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. Now we are sure why Jesus raises from the dead - he couldn’t bear anymore nonsense abt him spreading from ppl like you Jesus didn't teach "Christianity" in specifics. Or else there couldn't be so many different denominations inside of that one belief. "Christianity" is a belief system on the way THEY believe Jesus ment what he said and how he said it.. "they" would be involving who ever started the religion "Christianity". God isn't about religion, God is about relationship. A personal relationship at that. It can not be personal when you are told what God wants from a third party. That is why it's personal, the walk itself is personal, and the findings of what God wants personally would then also be personal. CowboyGH , I'm sure now that you don't follow neither Jesus nor the rightnous path to the God because you have no idea what Jesus were teaching or saying or what his disciples were keeping and teaching ppl . woooow Funches is right , you are an atheist in deny and ppl like you scares ppl like us hearing so many false claims and Hollywood- Bollywood free style fantasies , lies and imaginations on theme "Jesus and his stalker ..ops follower CowboyGH" CowboyGH , look who walks beside you . Jesus hasn't horns  CoyboyGH said: And who are you to judge weather I walk beside Jesus or have any idea what Jesus was teaching? Who's to say your understanding trumps mine? Or anyone else's for that matter. I'm one of forumers here who read day by day your false claims and lies about Jesus , his teaching and scriptures . I'm one of those here who Jesus e-mail me to tell you that maybe he gonna back earlier than he planed to the Earth if you keep posting such nonsenses about him .   CoyboyGH said: Yes, I have made error's in my discussions on here and then was shown my error. Never said I was perfect. But most of what I say has been dead on. But I do not exploit it and continue to discuss on it as people here do the errors. If something is said correctly, it is left at that, then people go on to the next topic. But if there is an error, that error follows the person, even after it's been corrected. By the person that made the error or another, but people won't let them forget the mistake they made. Where's the humbleness in that? CoyboyGH , the problem is that you keep posting the same lies and stubbornly repeat page after page them and when we get you in contradictions and lies you flood us with new lies ...You confused God though, claiming he is 3-some    Chocolina...God is ONLY ONE SUPREME BEING ( made up of 3 Persons WITHIN that ONE SUPREME BEING ). Cowboy believes God is 3 SEPARATE DIFFERENT BEINGS ENTIRELY, which is INCORRECT ,and NOT what the BIBLE TEACHES !!! In fact, Cowboy's believing that God is 3 DIFFERENT SEPARATE BEINGS OR ENTITIES ENTIRELY , IS THE SAME AS SAYING THERE ARE 3 GODS ( WHICH AGAIN, IS INCORRECT AND NOT WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES AT ALL ....INSTEAD, THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD WHO IS ONE SUPREME BEING ONLY !!!!) HOWEVER, in his last post just now,Cowboy DID say Persons instead of Beings, which is CORRECT( I think he is learning now). Howver, I don't think he fully understands YET, that The 3 Persons are WITHIN ONLY ONLY ONLY ONE SUPREME BEING ONLY!!! But I am praying and believing that he will SOON COMPLETELY understand that GOD ALMIGHTY IS ONLY ONE SUPREME BEING ONLY!!! ALMIGHTY GOD IS ONLY ONE SUPREME BEING !!!! THERE IS ONLY ONLY ONLY ONE GOD ...WHO IS ONLY ONLY ONLY ONE SUPREME BEING !!! THE THREE PERSONS ( GOD THE FATHER , GOD THE SON, AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT ) ARE THE ONE GOD....THE 3 PERSONS ARE JUST WITHIN THAT ONE GOD......WHO IS ONLY ONE SUPREME BEING !!! AGAIN......THERE IS ONLY ONLY ONLY ONE GOD ALMIGHTY ......AND THIS ONE GOD ALMIGHTY IS ONLY ONE SUPREME BEING !!! ONLY !!!!! PRAYING EVERYONE WILL FINALLY UNDERSTAND THAT THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT GOD IS ONLY ONE GOD ( WHO IS ONLY ONE SUPREME BEING ) !!!

Please note:
Some exerts and verses were taken from bible.ca, in the above post,which are biblically correct. However, I checked out some of the rest of the site afterwards, and do not reccommend the site at all.... as it seems to have man's opinions also added on the site ,instead of just being scripturally based only ( as trusted christian sites should be ) . Just letting you know that I do not agree with nor reccommend everything on the rest of the site. Just because a dove on the site is shown ( symbolic of The Holy Spirit ), doesn't mean everything on the site is coming from the Holy Spirit....but has man's opinions added also. Just letting you know. Be Blessed All...have a Great Day now. |

For Whom Does God Desire Salvation?
The Good News is that God would have ALL men to be saved !!! God does not desire anyone to be lost. NO ONE! God is "...patient, not wishing for any to perish." (II Peter 3:9). God is "compassionate" (Matthew 9:36; Psalm 86:15) God is "...just" (Romans 3:24-26). God is "Sorrowful" for those who are lost (Ezekiel 18:23; 31,32; cf. Matthew 23:37). God made Salvation available to ALL. Salvation is available for ALL men, not just a select few. Jesus died for EVERYONE (Hebrews 2:9; John 3:16). God wants ALL to come to KNOW THE TRUTH (I Timothy 2:4). The invitation is open to ALL, 24 hours a day !!! (Matthew 11:28-30 COME UNTO ME, ALL ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you REST. 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. Revelation 22:17) And the Spirit and the bride say, COME. And let him that HEARETH say, COME. And let him that is THIRSTY, COME. And WHOSOEVER WILL, let him TAKE THE WATER OF LIFE FREEELY. God has already issued His call, and it has gone out UNTO THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD . Any of us can choose to answer it, or not. How God Draws People Unto Himself The context of Jesus' statement explains how God DRAWS men and women to Himself. There is nothing mystical about it. The following verse in the context (John 6:45) reveals how God DRAWS MEN UNTO HIMSELF. "It is written in the prophets, 'And they shall ALL be TAUGHT of God.' Everyone who has HEARD and LEARNED from the Father COMES TO ME ." Note the words "taught" and "every man" (all drawn the same way; by being TAUGHT) and "HEAR" and "LEARN" and "COME". These are not mystical words. They are common, everyday words which are used to describe how it is that people are DRAWN to Christ. What is it that is taught and heard and learned? The MEANS or METHOD by which God "CALLS'' or "DRAWS'' ALLLL men IS THE GOSPEL !!! "And it was for this He CALLED (DREW) you through our GOSPEL, that you may gain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ." (II Thessalonians 2:14). There is no special, mystical anointing of the Holy Spirit, but rather, the Holy Spirit CALLS OR DRAWS men THROUGH THE GOSPEL; and it is THE GOSPEL that is the POWER (Romans 1:16)!!! ( NOTICE....NOT MAN'S "VERSION" OF THE GOSPEL ,BUT THE GOSPEL!!!) God DRAWS PEOPLE UNTO HIMSELF through the TEACHING of the GOSPEL !!!! The HEARING OF THE PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL is GOD'S POWER, HIS DRAWING POWER , TO SAVE (I Corinthians 1:18-21). FAITH COMES BY HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD. Therefore, ALLLL people, when they HEAR the GOSPEL, at any moment, have the ABILITY to RESPOND to God's gospel call ,because God DRAWS people THRU the HEARING of GOD'S WORD being preached . They also have the ability to reject it (Acts 13:45-48). Sinners are saved by God's GRACE when they respond in faithful obedience to the gospel that DRAWS them to GOD (Matthew 7:21). God is always ready for men to REPENT and HEED THE CALL OF GOD'S DRAWING(Acts 17:30). It is THOSE WHO WILL DO SO that God has predestined for salvation (1 Thessalonians 5:9). This is an important concept to recognize. NOW....lets NOT misunderstand what is being said here...... God has NOT predestined individuals to be saved or lost, BUT RATHER, God has predestined the METHOD BY WHICH WE ARE SAVED . Point being, God predestines NO one's salvation !!! God just KNOWS who will accept Him, but God NEVER predestines man's salvation !! God will NEVER go against man's free will to CHOOSE!!! How To Be Drawn To God's Son And Be Saved There are not many ways to be DRAWN to God. Again ,The MAIN way God DRAWS is THRU THE HEARING OF GOD'S WORD. And JESUS is the ONLY WAY TO THE FATHER. (And NOT thru ANOTHER FALSE ChrIst either, but only thru JESUS CHRIST OF THE BIBLE !!! ) Those who attempt to enter another way are counted as thieves and robbers and will be unsuccessful (John 10:1). How does one ANSWER God's CALL OR DRAWING? This is important for you to know because God is CALLING (DRAWING) you. Have you answered? If not, will you? When God is DRAWING you , Will you CALL upon Him? For WHOSOEVER will CALL upon the Name of the Lord will be SAVED." (Acts 2:21). Whosoever means You. Amen. Some exerts from http://www.bible.ca/ |

The MAIN Way God DRAWS us unto Him so that we might
All be Saved, is thru the HEARING of HIS WORD. NOTICE: God Draws thru the HEARING of HIS WORD..... NOT thru the hearing of just man's "version" or man's "opinion " of God's Word. GOD DRAWS ONLY THRU HIS WORD BEING PREACHED. JESUS SAID," IF I BE LIFTED UP, I WILL DRAW ALL MAN UNTO ME." JESUS IS THE WORD. THERE IS POWER IN THE WORD. NOT in man' opinion of The Word. FAITH COMES BY HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD. GOD DRAWS US UNTO HIM THRU THE HEARING OF HIS WORD. ARE YOU HEARING GOD'S WORD TODAY? OR JUST THE OPINIONS OF MAN ONLY...

I would think that people would actually want the solid truth, and look for evidence to support the truth no matter what Jeannie...The EVIDENCE is when The Holy Spirit STEPS inside the heart of a BORN AGAIN Believer. THE HOLY SPIRIT LETS A BELIEVER KNOW THAT GOD AND HIS WORD IS TRUTH!!! God's Holy Spirit BEARS WITNESS with the born again believer's new born spirit....thus letting him know without a shadow of doubt, that he has TRULY become BORN AGAIN !!! The NEW nature in a born again believer NOW is also evidence (btw,a born again believer is a CHRISTIAN...in other words, the CORRECT and TRUE definition of who a CHRISTIAN is , is someone who is BORN AGAIN ). A born again christian's SPIRITUAL EYES are NOW OPENED is further evidence..he also KNOWS in his heart that he is now a new creature in Christ Jesus....and also ,The Word of God now BECOMES CLEAR to him. Point being.... GOD DOES NOT LEAVE BELIEVERS IN THE DARK WONDERING AND JUST FOREVER QUESSING IF THEY HAVE TRULY BECOME BORN AGAIN OR NOT......NOOOOOOO....... INSTEAD, GOD LETS BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS KNOW THAT THEY KNOW, THAT THEY KNOW, THAT THEY KNOW, THAT THEY KNOW,THAT THEY KNOW, THAT THEY KNOW ,THAT THEY KNOW ,THAT THEY KNOW, THAT THEY KNOW ,THAT THEY KNOW , THAT THEY KNOW THEY ARE TRULY BORN AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! ALSO...God's Holy Spirit INDWELLING ALLLL BORN AGAIN Believers now, TEACHES AND LEADS AND GUIDES ALLLL BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS INTO ALLLL THE TRUTH OF GOD AND GOD'S WORD NOW!!! THERE IS NO CONFUSION AMONG BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS AT ALLL!!!!!!! CONFUSION IS ONLY AMONG THOSE WHO ONLY CLAIM TO BE CHRISTIANS,BUT ARE NOT YET TRULY BORN AGAIN YET !!! ALSO.... The Holy Spirit also becomes The COMFORTER to Born again Believers. God Thru His Holy Spirit RESIDES in born again believers FOREVER,and Will Never leave them ever. BUT..before a person can become born again, God has to DRAW a person first UNTO Him... and When God draws a person,God also will GIVE that person UNDERSTANDING OF WHO HE IS...THAT is HOW a PERSON COMES TO FAITH TO BELIEVE IN GOD !!!!! But without God FIRST drawing man unto Him, and without God producing Faith in him to BELIEVE (Faith which comes BY hearing and hearing BY the Word of God ), no man can believe !!! NO MAN!!!! That is why SALVATION is of GOD'S DOING ONLY ,AND NOT OF MAN'S DOING!!!!!! EVER!!!! So the Point being.... Believers are NOT just a bunch of blind followers of something or someone we don't understand !!!! And btw,those who tell you that thay have faith but dont understand anything about what they have faith in, are NOT born again AT ALL...they just up and decided to come to God on their own ,and by THEIR OWN METHODS AND DEAD WORKS (in other words, THRU THEIR OWN WAY and by their OWN interpretation and understanding of God ONLY...but it was NEVER OF GOD'S DOING )!!!!! In other words, God never DREW them first..and that is why those who come to God without God first drawing them ,ONLy HAVE JUST RELIGION AND DEAD RELIGIOUS WORKS!!! NOTHING MORE !!! AND Their righteousness is just a bunch of filthy rags before God...cause they came to God of their OWN doing ,and NEVER by God's doing AT ALL!!! That is why , UNLESS God FIRST DRAWS MAN UNTO HIM, NO MAN CAN BE SAVED !!! BUT.... When God does start drawing you?? And knocking at your heart's door? Do not Turn Him Away. Let God melt your heart when He draws you.... allow Him to help you to have FAITH to BELIEVE IN Him and Understand WHO He is, so You can Willingly then RECEIVE Him into your heart. Cause you see, God does NOT want blind followers....God want us to have UNDERSTANDING of Who He is FIRST, before Asking Him in !!! And God will Give You that Understanding when you become SAVED (born again) !!!! And When God comes knocking on your heart's door, and you do Ask him into Your heart, your life will never ever ever ever ever ever be the same again!!!! Promise. God Loves You !!!! And would have it that ALL men be Saved !!!! Amen? Amen. |

The true meaning of CHRISTIAN , is one who is BORN
AGAIN. Just because someone just CLAIMS to be born again, or attends a church, doee NOT make a person a born again christian. WHEN one is truly born again, The Holy Spirit Indwelling that beleiver now, ENABLES that believer to RECOGNIZE when another TRULY has the Holy Spirit IN him or NOT. But we are also praying that the ones who are not yet born again, WILL BE....so that they too may come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, and become born again too. Believers can NEVER boast about being born again...cause it is ALL OF GOD'S DOING. We just want all to have what we have. Amen. |

Replacing God's name with "LORD" would not make sense though. Why would it say his name over and over, why would it say it sometimes and then sometimes not? Wouldn't make much sense if it replaced his name. Cowboy......it will not make sense until you are actually born again ... and the Holy Spirit comes to live in you and BECOME YOUR TEACHER......and UNTIL then, , not you nor anyone else will understand.... Cowboy...that is why you should NOT be teacching on here yet.... you need to go to bible study and church and LEARN first, BEFORE teaching.... WITHOUT the Holy Sprit IN YOU FIRST to TEACH you , all you will Do is continue to spread ERROR on here.

Point being......JESUS is NOT a SEPARATE ENTITY
APART from God the Father and God The Holy Spirit , as Cowboy is INCORRECTLY teaching on here. The Father,Jesus(Word), and The Holy Spirit are only separate PERSONS WITHIN ONE ENTITY OR ONE SUPREME BEING...ONE GOD ALMIGHTY !!!! THZT IS WHT WE SAY GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH...BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY ONLY ONLY ONE GOD....WHO IS ONLY ONLY ONLY ONE ENTITY ( ONE SUPREME BEING ) !!!!!!! AND THAT ONE SUPREME BEING IS MADE UP OF 3 PERSONS, WITHIN WITHIN WITHIN THAT ONE ENTITIY OR ONE SUPREME BEING!!!!! GOD ALMIGHTY IS ONLY ONE GOD ...GOD ALMIGHTY IS ONLY ONE SUPREME BEING !!!!!!!! GOD IS NOT THREE ENTITIES OR 3 SUPREME BEINGS!!! GOD IS ONLY ONE ENTITIY (ONE SUPREME BEING ) !!! ONLY!!!!! PRAYING THIS IS FINALLY CLEAR NOW !!!! |

IN creation the Father SPOKE, The Word ACTED, and the Spirit MOVED.
All 3 are INVOLVED in Creation...but it was the WORD Who ACTED while the Father SPOKE The Word...and The Sprit MOVED.... all 3 are ONE SUPREME BEING.....the 3 Persons WITHIN that ONE SUPREME BEING working together are ONE. There is ONLY ONE GOD...ONE SUPREME BEING. That is why we say GOD created the World.... Because God is ONE GOD ....ONE SUPREME BEING. Also... Cowboy is misunderstanding about LORD God. Thid will help explain: ........................................................... Question: "What do LORD, GOD, Lord, God, etc., stand for in the Bible? Why are they used in place of God's name?" Answer: It can be very confusing to understand how the different titles used for God are used in the Bible. Part of the problem is that different Bible translations use the terms somewhat differently. The primary reason for the use of LORD in place of God's Hebrew name is to follow the tradition of the Israelites in not pronouncing or spelling out God's name. So, when God's Hebrew name "YHWH" is used in the Old Testament, English translations usually use "LORD" in all caps or small caps. Also, since ancient Hebrew did not use vowels in its written form, it is not entirely clear how God's name should be spelled or pronounced. It could be Yahweh, or Jehovah, or Yehowah, or something else. As stated above, when "LORD" in all caps or small caps occurs in the Old Testament, it is a replacement for an occurrence of God's Hebrew name "YHWH," also known as the Tetragrammaton. This is fairly consistent throughout all the different English translations of the Bible. When "Lord" occurs in the Old Testament, referring to God, it is usually a rendering of "Adonai," a name/title of God that emphasizes His lordship. LORD/YHWH and Lord/Adonai are by far the two most consistent renderings throughout all the different English Bible translations. In the Old Testament, when "God" is used, it is usually a rendering of the general Hebrew word for God, "Elohim." When "LORD GOD" or "Lord GOD" occurs, it is usually a rendering of a dual name for God "Adonai YHWH." The Hebrew term "YHWH Sabaoth" is usually rendered "Lord of Hosts." The Hebrew term "YHWH Shaddai" is usually rendered "LORD Almighty." The Old Testament uses many different names and titles to refer to God, to emphasize certain aspects of His person and attributes. This can result in confusion in translation, but in the original Hebrew, it was done entirely in an effort to glorify and magnify God's name. The usage of "Lord" and "God" in the New Testament is much less complicated. Almost universally, "God" is a translation of "theos," the general Greek word for deity. Also almost universally, "Lord" is a translation of "kurios," the general Greek word for a master. The key point in all of this is that whether we use His actual Hebrew name, or refer to Him as God, or Lord, or Lord God, we are to always show reverence to Him and His name. |
