The Holy Bible Is The
Immutable Living Word Of The Eternal God.
The Only Bible we Recommend Is
The King James / A.V. Bible.
Here’s the reason, shocking but enlightening truth: The
Bible Is Used To Deceive
We should all be
sighing and crying about the sad state of our world.
Leviticus 26:17 
And I will set my
face against you, and ye
shall be slain before your enemies:
they that hate you shall reign over
you; and ye shall
flee when none pursueth you.
Ezekiel 20:26 ……
that I might make them desolate, to the
end that they might know that I am
the LORD.
A Message From Peter James
Christ Is the Holy Spirit
Many will no doubt find this title a shocking one.
This is the third document in this mini series. The Holy Spirit Is God Jesus Is God
We are explaining that there is no such thing as the
‘Trinity’.
There is One God, and we are showing the different
aspects of the One God.
In Genesis, the book of beginnings, in verse 1 we are introduced to God.
Genesis 1:1 ¶ In the beginning God created
the heaven and the earth.
In verse
2 we are introduced to the Holy Spirit.
Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and
darkness was upon
the face of the deep. And the
Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
From verse Genesis 1:2, we do not hear any mention
at all of the word spirit, or Spirit,
until the time of the flood.
It appears that
the Holy Spirit completely disappears from view, but does He?
Note I did not say it, but ’He’.
Genesis 1:3 ¶ And God said, Let there be light: and there
was light.
From now onwards throughout Genesis Chapter 1,
we see the phrases
God Said
God Saw
God
Called
God Made
God Set
God
Created
God
Blessed
God
Ended.
All of these actions were made directly by God, without any recourse to the Holy Spirit at all.
As we have previously explained the creation was an act by Jesus Christ, prior to His human birth,
some 4,000 years later.
From the context of the following verses we
can see that these verse refer to Jesus Christ.
John
1:1 ¶ In the beginning was
the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John
1:2 The same was in the beginning
with God.
John
1:3 All things were made
by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
The phrases mentioned above could therefore
have stated.
Christ Said
Christ Saw
Christ
Called
Christ Made
Christ Set
Christ
Created
Christ
Blessed
Christ
Ended.
The fact that Christ is the Creator God is
very important.
Genesis 1:2
told us that the world was in total devastation, which was the result of sin.
God as Father cannot be in the presence of
sin, because of His holiness.
This means that right in the first three
verses of the bible, we see that Christ is the mediator.
It was in this role that the re-creation was
carried out.
It took Christ to restore everything from
the result of sin.
If we now look to Revelation what do we
find?
We find the exact same thing.
The entire book of Revelation is about the
condition of the world, and Christ’s intervention
once again to restore things to their
original purpose.
Christ as mediator is an absolute essential,
because being perfect, God and man,
He could look at the Father, but as a man He
could look at the world and fallen man.
1
Timothy 2:5 For there is
one God, and one mediator between God and men,
the man Christ Jesus;
What incredible detail and complexity there
is in the plan of God.
All scripture has a purpose.
2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is
given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine,
for
reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
The fact that Genesis states “the Spirit of
God”, has a purpose.
We just saw that Christ was the Creator,
before He came as a physical human being,
but this verse is telling us the form in
which He was at the time of the re-creation of the earth.
It was as Spirit.
Genesis
1:2 And the earth was
without form, and void; and darkness was upon
the face of the deep. And the
Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Let us
now go the very last book of the bible, the book of Revelation.
Here we see some very
informative passages.
Revelation
1: 1 ¶ The
Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him,
to shew unto his servants things which
must shortly come to pass;
and he sent and signified it by his
angel unto his servant John:
The heading of the overall book in the King James, is The
Revelation of St John The Divine.
How can this be correct, when verse 1
clearly stated that it was the Revelation of Jesus Christ?
How can any man be called ‘Divine’, this is surely a title of the Eternal God.
Although we promote the King James for its
accuracy, I have to point out things that I cannot
see to be correct.
The interplay between Jesus Christ, God, and the Spirit, is clearly seen in the early chapters
of Revelation.
In Revelation 1: 1 we see that God, the
Father, gave Christ, the Revelation to show to his servants.
In
the following verses we see more details about Jesus Christ.
Revelation 1: 5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the
faithful witness,
and the first
begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth.
Unto him
that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
Revelation
1: 6 And hath made
us kings and priests unto God and his Father;
to him be
glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
In verse 5 we see that it is Jesus Christ
who is not only the first begotten from the dead,
but also that His blood washed away our
sins.
Verse 6 is a continuation of the very same
sentence which is joined by ‘and’.
“hath made us kings and priests”.
Who hath made us kings and priests?
Answer Jesus Christ.
Priests unto whom?
Answer God.
Who is this God?
Answer the God who had a Father, which of
course is none other than Christ.
Therefore we have been made kings and
priests unto Christ and God the Father,
by Christ.
Revelation
1: 7 Behold, he cometh with
clouds; and every eye shall see him,
and they also
which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him.
Even so,
Amen.
Revelation 1: 8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the
ending, saith the Lord,
which is, and which was, and which
is to come, the Almighty.
The above verses, which continue
on from verse 6 now tells us that he, Christ
will return to the earth
and every eye will see him.
This can be that the spirits of the
deceased will be able to see this one off most momentous event
in
human history. It does not mean that they would have been resurrected,
but
that rather from their holding place in ‘Paradise’, they will be able to see
Christ’s return.
To make certain
that we get the idea of whom Christ is,
verse
8 tells us that Christ is the Alpha and Omega, which means that He is the
beginning and the end,
this is
repeated a few verses later.
We are also told
that Christ is also ‘the Lord’, because it says “saith the Lord”, present,
past, and future.
It goes one step
further and tells us that Christ is also ‘The Almighty’.
From verses Revelation
1:12 through to verse 18, we then see a
description of Christ.
Revelation 1:12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being
turned,
I saw seven golden candlesticks;
Revelation 1:13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one
like unto the Son of man,
clothed
with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
Revelation 1:14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as
white as snow;
and his
eyes were as a flame of fire;
Revelation 1:1:15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace;
and his
voice as the sound of many waters.
Revelation 1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out
of his mouth went
a sharp
twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his
strength.
Revelation 1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his
right hand upon me,
saying
unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
Revelation 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and,
behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen;
and have
the keys of hell and of death.
Remember that
this book is the revelation of Jesus Christ.
If you have a
red letter bible, you will see that chapters 2 & 3 are all in red.
The reason is
that they are the direct words of Christ.
We can see from
the above verses that Christ was in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks,
and that he had
seven stars in his right hand.
Revelation
1:20 then explains that the stars are
the angels of the seven churches, to whom the letters
in Revelation
chapter 2 and 3 are written..
The candlesticks
are the actual seven churches.
Revelation 1:20 The
mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand,
and the seven
golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the
seven churches:
and the
seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
In the introduction to the letter of each
church is given a different description of Christ.
Now in
all of the seven letters to the churches you will see the sentence.
“He
that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”
This is clearly telling us that the Spirit is
speaking to each of the seven churches.
There is only a single explanation, and it is that Christ
and the Spirit are one and the same
The first church in Ephesus is addressed as follows.
Revelation
2:1 ¶ Unto the angel of
the church of Ephesus write;
These
things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand,
who walketh
in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
“He
that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”
This is clearly telling us that it is Christ
doing the speaking.
The second church is
addressed as follows.
Revelation
2:8 ¶ And unto the angel
of the church in Smyrna write;
These things
saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
Revelation
2:11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit
saith unto the churches;
The third church is
addressed as follows.
Revelation 2:12 ¶ And to the angel of the church in Pergamos
write;
These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with
two edges;
Revelation
2:17 He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches
The fourth church is
addressed as follows.
Revelation 2:18 ¶ And unto the angel of the church
in Thyatira write;
These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes
like unto a flame of fire,
and his feet are like fine brass;
Revelation 2:29 He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
The fifth church is
addressed as follows.
Revelation
3:1 ¶ And unto the angel of the
church in Sardis write;
These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God,
and the seven stars;
Revelation 3:6 He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
The sixth church is addressed as follows.
Revelation 3:7 ¶ And to the angel of the church in
Philadelphia write;
These things saith he that is holy, he that is true,
he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and
no man shutteth;
and shutteth, and no man openeth;
Revelation 3:13 He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
The seventh church is addressed
as follows.
Revelation 3:14 ¶ And unto the angel of the church
of the Laodiceans write;
These things saith the Amen, the faithful and
true witness,
the beginning of the creation of God;
Revelation 3:22 He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Revelation 3:14 has the difficult
statement, which says that Christ was the beginning of the creation
of God. The Jehovah Witnesses, use this to claim that
Christ is not God, but just a man.
How could Christ be the beginning of
the creation of God.
Christ came into the world as a physical baby born of the virgin
Mary.
Matthew 1:23
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son,
and they shall
call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
This of necessity means that he had a human spirit, which
is effectively the man.
Once again I can say that the physical body is the clothing for
the spirit.
Job 32:8 But there is
a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them
understanding.
I believe that the human spirits for all mankind were made at
the very same time that the universe
was made. They are just assigned as the Eternal God
determines.
Twice in the bible we see three momentous events mentioned
together in the bible.
This tells me that these events all took place at the same
time.
This is the first verse.
Zechariah
12:1 The burden of the word of the
LORD for Israel, saith the LORD,
1) which stretcheth
forth the heavens, and
2) layeth the foundation of the earth, and
3) formeth the spirit of
man within him.
This
is the second verse.
Isaiah 42:5
Thus saith God the LORD,
1) he that created the heavens, and
stretched them out;
2) he that spread forth the earth,
and that which cometh out of it;
3) he that giveth breath unto the
people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
These verses explain that the spirits in men were
created at the time referred to in Genesis 1:1
as the beginning, which
is a time in the very long ago and undetermined past.
From time to time Scientists
give us accurate dates for the date that the universe
came into being. The only
problem with this is that the date keeps changing.
It tends never to get
shorter but always longer, very much longer, by millions or even billions
of years.
The truth however, is
that spirit never ages, therefore spirit creations made in Eternity,
are the same today as
they were billions of years ago.
It is for this reason
that even elderly people make what many would consider to be the strangest
statements.
An elderly lady whom I
cared for some time ago was in a nursing home.
She was bedridden.
I was visiting her and
asked how she was, and in all seriousness she said, I am not feeling too well,
but it has nothing to
do with sex.
Another very elderly
person in very similar circumstances was wondering whether she should ditch
her boyfriend.
Even you personally
find that your physical body is not allowing you to do things that you say your
mind
would like to do,
because as far as your spirit is concerned it can still be done.
We have
shown that the Father, Christ, and the Spirit are one and the same.
To help my finite
mind to deal with the awesomeness of God, I like to think
of Christ as the physical body, the suit,
which was is what the Father wore,
to interface with man, and the physical
universe.
God, the Father,
Christ His Son, and the Holy Spirit are all one God.
They are
indivisible, and are certainly not a Trinity.
.
The only way out of this dilemma is
Jesus Christ.
. He is the
only way of escape.
. We have to be under His Care and
Protection.
. Salvation
by any other name or means,
. Simply does not exist.
. Complete Obedience is required
. Praise the Lord.
. Come
soon Lord Jesus.
. Amen.
