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
The Beginning Of The Creation Of God,
And There Is No Trinity
The Video* There is No Trinity - Christ The
Beginning Of The Creation Of God - Yet Is God
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;
How
can Christ, be God, and yet be the beginning of the creation of God?
These words were said by Christ Himself, therefore we cannot claim that there is some error.
The
first question is what is man?
Man is
primarily a spirit being, in a human body.
The
human body is temporary, and dies, and the spirit in man is of a much more
permanent nature,
although
it is not immortal. See our document: The
Spirit in Man.
We
are told that the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
This is long before the re-creation recorded in Genesis
chapter 1.
Hebrews 4:3 For we
which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my
wrath,
if
they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of
the world.
The reality is that the spirit in man was made long before the physical man ever was,
at the time that the foundation of the earth was laid.
We are told that the Lord formed the
spirit that was in man.
Zechariah 12:1
The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD,
which
stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth,
and
formeth the
spirit of man within him.
We are told that the spirit in
man returns to God who gave it to him in the first place.
Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust
return to the earth as it was:
and
the spirit
shall return unto God who gave it.
We are told that there is a definite distinction between
the breath in man, and the spirit in man.
Isaiah 42:5 ¶ Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and
stretched them out;
he
that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it;
he
that giveth
breath unto the people
upon it, and
spirit
to
them that walk therein:
We are
told in both the Old and the NewTestament that the Eternal God is not only the
God of the
physical, but also of the unseen spirits that dwell in flesh.
Note carefully that it plainly says the spirits of all
flesh.
The Eternal is God, period.
This applies to all things created, including all flesh
whether human or animal.
Humans and animals have spirits but they are very
different as one makes one a creature made
out of dust a human being and the other makes the
creature and animal of what ever type is should be.
This is one of the definitions of the Eternal God.
Numbers 16:22
And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the
spirits of all flesh,
shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the
congregation?
Hebrews 12:9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which
corrected us,
and we gave them
reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto
the Father of spirits, and live?
We
should not think that the rest of the verse limits this God of the spirits to
just human beings,
because
it does not.
Ecclesiastes 3:21
Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward,
and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
It is the spirit in man that makes a man different from
an animal.
This simple fact makes an utter nonsense of evolution.
The educated ignoramuses have no idea about the spirit world,
and therefore they foolishly
try to link all flesh made out of dust together.
You do not have to be a scientist to understand this.
There is also a difference between the flesh of a man
and that of animals.
If you have eaten a fish, a chicken, lamb or beef, you
know that there is a great difference,
in many ways between the construction, and flesh of
these creatures.
1 Corinthians
15:39 All flesh is not the same flesh:
but there is one kind of
flesh of men,
another flesh of beasts,
another of fishes, and
another of birds.
The reality is that to try to link different types of
flesh together, or plants with animals and fish,
by genetic engineering is actually sin.
The law of species is clearly defined in Genesis Chapter 1,
where we are told that the whole of the creation was
limited to its ‘kind’.
I am fully aware that parts of pigs are used in
operations to help ill people.
Due to the difference of flesh these people have to
take drugs to prevent
the body rejecting the foreign tissue.
This even
happens if parts from another human being are used to help another person.
I need to make it
clear that I am not condemning people who have undergone any
of these types of operations in any way whatsoever.
I am simply stating the reality of different types of
flesh.
We are also told that man is made in the image of God.
Genesis 1:27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him;
male
and female created he them.
The man that the Eternal God made
out of the dust was a composite being, a soul,
which comprised is of the
physical body and the spirit in man, quite different to the Holy Spirit.
Prior to the Eternal God
breathing into man’s nostrils, he was just a corpse,
perfectly formed, but lifeless
none the less.
Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God
formed man of the dust of the ground,
and breathed into his nostrils the
breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Let us consider man, who has as
we have shown has a spirit in him.
Let us say that I look at a very beautiful woman, what do I see?
I see what I consider to be a
beautiful physical body, furthermore I could ‘fall in love’,
with that beautiful body. In
reality this means I desire this beautiful person.
Herein lies a problem for most of us.
Naturally we tend to get attracted
by the appearance, but this gives us absolutely no clue
whatsoever about the spirit in
the person. None the less there is a spirit in the person,
as the scripture has clearly
stated.
When you look at the person you
do not see two people do you?
When you look at yourself in the
mirror, you only see a single person,
without any clue about the
indwelling spirit in you.
I am not speaking about the Holy
Spirit, but the human spirit.
It is for this reason that most
relationships fall apart, when the unseen spirit manifests itself,
as not being very nice at all.
The chance of this happening is very great, because the spirit
in man, inherited by all of us
is fallen, due to the sin of our first parents.
We are truly not the individual
islands that we would like to believe that we are.
The Eternal God, the Father who
is all Spirit, determined at the foundation of the earth,
to come to the earth in the
person of Christ.
At the foundation of the earth
He knew that man would sin.
Therefore we read that the lamb,
Christ was slain from the foundation of the world.
This predates the re-creation recorded in Genesis Chapter 1
Revelation 13:8
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him,
whose names are not written in
the book of life of
the Lamb slain from the foundation of the
world.
In order for Christ to come into the world
as a literal human being, he needed to have a human spirit.
A human being without a human spirit
is just a corpse, like the corpse of any animal, and it decays
back into the dust.
James 2:26 For as the body without the
spirit is dead, so
faith without works is dead also.
A soul is not some ethereal blob
hidden somewhere in our physical body.
A soul is the composite man the physical
body and the human spirit.
If we sin, and remain in a
condition of sin, our fate will be eternal destruction, death.
The soul, the complete composite man can
be completely destroyed.
Ezekiel 18:4 Behold, all souls
are mine;
as the
soul of the father,
so also
the soul of the son is mine:
the soul that sinneth, it shall
die.
In order to have Eternal Life, we
still lack one thing, which is the indwelling Holy Spirit,
which is none other than the
Godhead, which is Eternal, thus the result is Eternal Life.
Up to this point our soul
comprises of two parts, the body and the spirit.
This gift of the Spirit, which is
the Holy Spirit, also referred to as the Holy Ghost,
has conditions attached to it.
See our video: God Calls Whom He Chooses.
We have to make a conscious
decision and we are commanded to choose life over death.
As with all things we make the
wrong choice, until the Eternal God gets our full attention.
Adam and Eve had this choice, and since
that time until now and on into the future,
we all have to make the very same choice. Unfortunately for them they
chose the tree
of the knowledge of good and evil,
which was death.
Thus they died, and so will we
die, and will remain dead until a resurrection.
Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day
against you,
that I have set before you life and
death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life,
that both thou and thy seed may live:
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death;
but
the gift of
God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
I believe that the next verse can be
telling us that in the realm of physical flesh,
the first spirit that was made was the human spirit of
Christ,
every other spirit
was made afterwards.
I do not believe for a moment that the Eternal God is in every
living creature.
In fact He only enters into man
upon what we call conversion.
Colossians
1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every
creature:
It
is this human spirit that was made in the long distant past.
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;
It
is in this human spirit that the Godhead dwelt in fullness.
John 3:34 For he whom
God hath sent speaketh the words of God:
for
God giveth
not the Spirit by measure unto him.
If
we look at Christ what are we seeing?
We see his human body, plus his human spirit, plus the Holy Spirit, without measure.
You did not see three persons.
You saw a single human being.
When
you look at a converted person
We see his human body, plus his human spirit, plus the Holy Spirit, with
measure
You did not see three persons.
You saw a single human being.
The difference is the Holy Spirit.
As
we showed we are made in the image of God, that is what He said in Genesis 1,
We
can see how very accurate the image is in reality. I repeat.
You do not see three persons.
You
see a single human being.
We also
need to remember that we are only seeing through a glass darkly.
1 Corinthians 13:12
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now
I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
We also need to remember that the Eternal God, deals with us
on a need to know basis.
We are also called to believe,
sometimes without understanding, which might come later.
The immediate question from those
who read their bibles is well Christ was on earth and He prayed
to His Father in heaven, as He
commanded us to do.
Luke 11:2
And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be
done, as in heaven, so in earth.
This
certainly ensures that we are addressing the One True God, and not the god of
this world, Satan.
How can
we understand Him praying to His Father in Heaven?
How can
we understand that God is everywhere, that is omnipresent?
How can
we understand that God knows everything including knowing, the end from the
beginning?
How can
we understand that God knows our thoughts even before we have them?
If we go back to my analogy of the
magnet, we can see that the Father could be in heaven,
and still in Christ and on the earth
at the same time.
In
actual fact the list is literally endless of things we do not know in the
physical world,
much
less in the spiritual world.
The genuine
believe has the indwelling Godhead, but the Father is still in heaven.
Personally
I am very appreciative of the things that I have been shown and I will
patiently wait
until I
am shown some more and then I will pass it on.
Isaiah 44:24 Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee
from the womb,
I am the LORD that maketh all things;
that stretcheth forth the heavens alone;
that spreadeth abroad the earth by
myself;
Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the
LORD that created the heavens;
God himself that formed the earth and made it;
he hath established it,
he created it not in vain,
he formed it to be
inhabited:
I am the LORD; and there is none
else.
There
is no ambiguity in these verses at all, and there are many other similar
verses,
showing that there is only One God.
When Christ said that He and the Father are one, He literally meant it.
He did not mean that they were simply
of one accord, one mind, which of course they are.
John
10:30 I and my Father are one.
The dwelling of the Holy Spirit, the Godhead in us by measure, makes us
one with each other,
and one with the Eternal God.
John
17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have
given them;
that they may
be one,
even as we are one:
Romans 12:5
So we, being many,
are one body in Christ,
and every one members one of another.
We may find this all very hard to grasp,
but I sent out an email a few days ago and this is
part of what I said in response to a
question from a document on the website,
http://www.theamericannightmare.org/05_book_of_life_A-D_2.html
I did not agree with the document as they
did not take into account the spirit in man.
If you would like the full email response
email me for it.
In any case the following was an excellent
example of being ‘one’.
“Scientists from the University of
Ohio recently removed a leaf from a tree;
transported the leaf
seven miles away from the tree from which they had removed it;
And performed
the following experiment.
.
They connected the leaf to a
specially designed oscilloscope to measure electricity.
.
They then electrically shocked the
tree from which the leaf had been taken.
.
And a full seven miles away, the
same electrical shock they had given to the tree,
was measured on
the leaf they had cut from it.
.
A full seven miles away !!!
.
That very same test was then completed
using a piece of human tissue.
. Producing
the exact same results - - - Seven miles away !!”
“Personally (long
before I read this article) I have been saying
that I feel that even tiredness can be passed or shared between a couple
!!
If one member of a couple misbehaves, and
mistakenly believes that the other person
will not know ,or find out, or be affected, the reality is that the
innocent party will suffer period,
although they will not know why they are suffering.
It is automatic. . . .
This applies to human relationships, and
the body of Christ.
E.G., becoming one flesh, and when one
member suffers all suffer.
There is no question that the physical, and spiritual well being of one
person affects others.
This is what we are told.
I
would go further and encourage us to realise that we are not islands,
but rather part of a continent.
We should therefore act, not just considering ourselves but also others.
You might say of course we should, but what I mean is in a much broader
context.
If you are ill, and you stubbornly refuse to do what you can do to
improve your situation,
or you stubbornly continue in actions that make you a liability either
in your home,
or in the body of Christ, you are directly affecting others.
This is an unbreakable law.
Unfortunately even amongst true believers, this is a very real problem.
The end result is that the body in general
suffers, and the preparation of the bride
of Christ is hindered.
It therefore has a delaying effect on Christ's return, which the
world so desperately needs.
We
have to put aside either pride or selfishness,
and let humility walk in the door for the benefit of others, and not
just ourselves.
We have also seen that there is no Trinity, and that there is One
God.
We have seen that the spirit of Christ was
the first spirit was made of all the spirits which
were made, therefore Christ had pre-eminence
in all things.
Christ as a human being did not exist
eternally, as we know he was born around 2,000 years ago,
however, Christ as God existed eternally,
because the Godhead which is Eternal,
dwelt in him without measure.
I liken it to Christ being the garment that
the Father chose to wear when he humbled himself
and came to earth as a man.
Philippians 2:8
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself,
and became obedient unto death, even the
death of the cross.
To
come to the earth as a man, Christ had to have a normal ‘spirit in man’,
otherwise he would not be a man, just
like you and I.
The difference between Christ and us
is that He had the fullness of the
Godhead dwelling in Him,
unlike us who “only” have an
earnest, a small amount of the Holy Spirit the Godhead.
2 Corinthians 5:5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is
God,
who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
It is heresy to say that we will be
God, as God is God.
We are children of God.
Bearing in mind the analogy of the
magnet, we can now understand how Elisha
could ask for twice as much of the
Spirit that was on Elijah.
He was fully aware of the power that
resided in Elijah.
2 Kings 2:9
And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto
Elisha,
Ask what I shall do for thee,
before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee,
let a double portion of thy
spirit be upon me.
Christ, as it were had to let His
humanity override His divinity, the indwelling Godhead,
in order to fully experience being a
man, suffering, and dying on our account.
This also means that the Father, who
is the Godhead experienced all the pain, and suffering,
which Christ experienced, as the
Godhead was dwelling in Him.
By extension we can see that Christ
experiences that hurt, pain and joy that we experience,
as the Holy Spirit dwelling in us.
It must make our rebellion against
Him doubly painful.
Thus Christ could say grieve not the Holy
Spirit.
The Holy Spirit was not some far
away distant nebulous something.
The Holy Spirit was literally
dwelling in the Christians to whom Paul was writing,
as the Holy Spirit is in all genuine
believers.
Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God,
whereby ye are sealed unto the day
of redemption.
The indwelling Holy Spirit can be so
grieved that it can actually be quenched.
This is a disastrous situation.
1 Thessalonians 5:19
Quench not the Spirit.
Therefore it is a great deception to
say that we are tarrying, that is waiting for the spirit,
or praying down the spirit.
Christ’s instruction to wait in
Jerusalem until the Holy Ghost was sent to them,
was one of two occasions.
The first was to the New Jewish Believers.
Acts 1:3 To whom also he shewed
himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs,
being seen of them forty days, and speaking
of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
Acts 1:4
And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should
not depart from
Jerusalem, but wait for the promise
of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
Acts 1:5
For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the
Holy Ghost
not many days hence.
The Second was to the New Gentile Believers.
This showed that there was to be no
distinction between Jews or Gentiles who had been converted.
Acts 10:44 ¶ While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy
Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
Acts 10:45 And they of the
circumcision 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.
Acts 10:46 For they heard them
speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
This gigantic change which meant that there
was to be no distinction between Jews and Gentiles,
was a very big, and hard pill to swallow.
It caused huge arguments in the early church, with Paul
confronting Peter on the matter.
After the incident of the vision of
clean, and unclean animals, and Cornelius’ visit,
Peter got the message.
Acts 10:34
Then Peter opened his mouth, and said,
Of a truth I perceive that God is
no respecter of persons:
Of course as Peter himself explained that
the visions was not talking about clean and unclean animals,
as Churchianity, teaches but rather the Jews
who regarded themselves as clean,
and the Gentiles as unclean.
Acts 10:28 And he said unto
them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew
to keep company, or come unto one of
another nation;
but God hath shewed me that I should not call any
man common or unclean.
This is a message that still is a major
stumbling block to the false Jews, who regard all non False Jews,
as animals and non-human beings. This
should give us some idea of the gigantic ideological shift that
was required, by the early church.
We can be praying down the spirit all right but it certainly is
not the Holy Spirit.
Since the two events mentioned above
the Holy Spirit has been passed on to
new believers
by the laying on of hands by someone
who had already received the Holy Spirit,
by the exact same process.
This does not mean that we should
limit the Eternal God from how,
and when He imparts the Holy Spirit,
by that I mean how and when He
chooses to dwell in someone He has called to be a vessel of His.
Acts 8:14 ¶ Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria
had received
the word of God, they sent unto them
Peter and John:
Acts 8:15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might
receive the Holy Ghost:
Acts 8:16 (For as yet he was
fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized
in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
Acts 8:17 Then laid they their
hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
The reality is that just like us today
visually all one saw when looking at these new converts,
were very happy people, but each just an
individual,
with a body,
with a human spirit
with the Holy Spirit.
We have also seen that the human spirit was made at the foundation of the world,
and human spirit of Christ, was the first to
be made.
Let us all be careful not to quench the
indwelling Holy Spirit.
.
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.
