GOD is perfect love

Part 1

a.	GOD in love clearly established His word; Gen2:16,17 to Adam, Ex20 to all forever, and repeated thru the NT in Mat19:17 Phil2:12 Heb5:9 Rev22:14, but the Judas church rarely believes and teaches His full gospel of love.

b.	GOD in love soul saves those copying Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, even Him, yet most believers reject His love and His incredible love gift Jn3:16, choosing their way, as did Esau and Judas, merely spirit saved!

c.	GOD in love sent a Helper to all believers 1Cor12:3; even a measure of His Spirit power, as we respond in love Jn14:15 to His love, yet most believers despise the Helper to their peril Mat12:31.

d.	GOD in love corrects, judges, warns, that a few believers repent, or turn from satan to Him Acts26:18, thru fire baptism Acts2:38, copying Christ Lk12:50 Rom6, till living as Him 1Jn2:6; 3:6,9. ...so...

e.	GOD in perfect love is forced to chastise His 3part church for His holy name's sake and our eternal well-being, but few believe and teach His hard love is for good.

Jn3:16..for GOD so loved the world that He gave
His only begotten Son, that whoever believes into Him
may not perish but may have everlasting life.

...fulfilling...

Is9..6 For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty GOD, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of government and peace no end, upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

Jer23..5 "Behold, days are coming," says the LORD, "That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness; a King shall reign and prosper, and execute judgment and righteousness in the earth.
6 In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell safely."

Dan2..40 And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything: and like iron that crushes, (it) will break in pieces and crush all the others.
44 And in the days of these kings the GOD of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.
45 Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands.

[see despise]

Mat2..6 But you, Bethlehem, the land of Judah, are not the least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you shall come a Ruler who will shepherd My people Israel.

Lk1..33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.

Zech3..8 'Hear, O Joshua, the high priest, you and your companions who sit before you, for they are a wondrous sign; for behold, I am bringing forth My Servant the BRANCH.
9 For behold, the stone that I have laid before Joshua: upon the stone seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave its inscription,' says the LORD of hosts, 'And I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.'

Zech4..9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands shall also finish. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me to you.
10 For who has despised the day of small things? for these seven rejoice to see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. They are the eyes of the LORD, which scan to and fro throughout the whole earth.

Zech13..9 I will bring the third through the fire, will refine them as silver is refined, and test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, and I will answer them. I will say, 'This My people;' and each one will say, 'The LORD my GOD'.

Acts15..16 After this I will return and will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will set it up.

Heb8.....we have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,
2 A Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the LORD erected, and not man.

Rev1..20 The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches.

Rev3..7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, These things says He who is holy, He who is true, "He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens"
10 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
11 Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown.
12 He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My GOD,

Rev7..9 Here the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.

Ex20... GOD spoke all these words, saying:
2 "I the LORD your GOD, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 "You shall have no other gods before Me.
4 "You shall not make for yourself a carved image - any likeness that in heaven above, or that in the earth beneath, or that in the water under the earth;
5 You shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your GOD, a jealous GOD, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth of those who hate Me,
6 But showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
7 "You shall not take the name of the LORD your GOD in vain, for the LORD will not hold guiltless who takes His name in vain.
8 "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
10 But the seventh day the Sabbath of the LORD your GOD. You shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who within your gates.
11 For six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

12 "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your GOD is giving you.
13 "You shall not kill.
14 "You shall not commit adultery.
15 "You shall not steal.
16 "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
17 "You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that your neighbor's."

also Deut5

Deut11... you shall love the LORD your GOD, and keep His charge, His statutes, His judgements, and His commandments always.
26 "Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse:
27 "The blessing, if you obey the commandments of the LORD your GOD which I command you today;
28 "And the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the LORD your GOD, but turn aside from the way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you have not known.

Acts5... 32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and also the Holy Ghost, whom GOD hath given to them that obey Him.

Heb5... 9 ...the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him;

Rom 2... the righteous judgment of GOD:
6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
(works)
7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath.
9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile;
11 For there is no respect of persons with GOD.
12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;

Jam1... 21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whose looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

1Jn3... 3 And every man that hath this hope in Him purifieth himself, even as He is pure.

13 For not the hearers of the law just before GOD, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

Rom3... 31 Do we then make void the law through faith? GOD forbid: yea, we establish the law.

Phil2... 12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5 And ye know that He was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin.
6 Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous.
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning.
10 In this the children of GOD are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of GOD, neither he that loveth not his brother.

2Sam24..1 Again the anger of the LORD was aroused against Israel, and He moved David against them to say, "Go, number Israel and Judah."
10 And David's heart condemned him after he had numbered the people. So David said to the LORD "I have sinned greatly in what I have done; but now, I pray, O LORD, take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have done very foolishly."
11 Now when David arose in the morning, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,
12 "Go and tell David, 'Thus says the LORD: "I offer you three, choose one of them for yourself, that I may do to you."'"
13 So Gad came to David and told him; and he said to him, "Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or shall you flee three months before your enemies, while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days' plague in your land? Now consider and see what answer I should take back to Him who sent me."
14 And David said to Gad, "I am in great distress. Please let us fall into the hand of the LORD, for His mercies great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man."
15 So the LORD sent a plague upon Israel from the morning till the appointed time. From Dan to Beersheba seventy thousand men of the people died.
16 And when the angel stretched out His hand over Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD relented from the destruction, and said to the angel who was destroying the people, "It is enough; now restrain your hand." And the angel of the LORD was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
17 Then David spoke to the LORD when he saw the angel who was striking the people, and said, "Surely I have sinned, and I have done wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Let Your hand, I pray, be against me and against my father's house."
18 And Gad came that day to David and said to him, "Go up, erect an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite."
19 So David, according to the word of Gad, went up as the LORD commanded.
25 And David built there an altar to the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD heeded the prayers for the land, and the plague was withdrawn from Israel.

1Chr21..14 So the LORD sent a plague upon Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell.
15 And GOD sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it.

1Chr21..14 So the LORD sent a plague upon Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell.
15 And GOD sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it.

GOD in hard love chastised Israel in 2Sam24 1Chr21, but few believers teach
His firm hand is necessary for our own good, for His cutting away
the bad/evil for the sake of the whole, even protect and nurture us.

GOD in just love may use satan for His purposes, as in 1Chr21, affirmed
in Is45:7 "I make peace and create evil;" but since His wrath is against all evil
Rom1:18 Heb1:9 2Pet2:6 Rev He finally must abolish all evil into outer dark.

GOD in love acts according to His holy, pure nature, in perfect wisdom
that fallen man can never understand 1Cor2:14, but His few
perfect 1Cor2:6 do see and know His ways, then sharing and teaching.

GOD in love encourages a true repentance for soul salvation 2Cor7:10,
often requiring His firm hand Acts5:1-11, disposing of evil for
the sake of others' soul salvation 2Pet2:6 to effect His great mercy.

Acts5..9 Then Peter said to her, "How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the LORD? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband at the door, and they will carry you out."
10 Then immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. And the young men came in and found her dead, and carrying out, buried by her husband.
11 So great fear came upon all the church and upon all who heard these things.

2Cor7..10 For godly sorrow produces repentance to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.

2Pet2..6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned to destruction, making an example to those who afterward would live ungodly;
17 These are wells without water, clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.

2Thes2..8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know GOD, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ.
9 These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the LORD and from the glory of His power.

See, Know Him

"Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth

hath not seen Him, neither known Him."

1Jn3:6

GOD, in Gen-Rev, clearly calls believers to see, know Him,
most disbelieve and lost in eternal outer darkness.

GOD, in N.T., says we must see, know Him just to be born again
Jn14 1Jn2:3,24,27 tho merely dim, lukewarm, vague.

GOD's true children see, know His face 1Cor1:30; 2:6; 13:10-12
if Zech13:9 Mal3:3 Mat3:11 1Pet1:7 Rev3:18-21 then Jn10; 15; 17:3.

GOD's true servants see, know Him at Moses, Paul level Amos3:7 Heb1:1
(fathers in the Son) Rom8:29; 12:1,19 Eph3:19b; 4:13d living in death, rejoicing.

GOD, from '84, insists I die daily to live in Him, to see, know Him,
to Jn16:12,13,25, to be His scribe, to serve thru Mic5:5 Rev1:20.

GOD's Acts15:16 will copy Acts2:42-47; 5:42; 6:3(7 CCCInc. globally);
7:55-60 [to fulfil Rev17:9(3:7-13) till 16:19(11:11)].

GOD's true believers are His tenth, tithe, or seed, planted to grow more
Lk17:15,18 Jn15:2 Rev11:1 till as Christ 11:2 into 11:7 into 11:13 so Is6:13.

GOD, from '84, plants me thru abuse, rejection, suffering to pray 5-12hrs.
7 days a wk against satan in the church.

GOD, from '84, reveals 100% truth that His Acts15:16 Jer23:4,5b 1Jn5:8 Rev11:3,4
bind satan and cast evil into hell.

GOD's enemies Jn8:44 Acts20:29 continue till 1Cor15:25 2Pet2:1,14
into Mat10:28 1Cor3:15; 5:5(Zech13:8 Ps1:5 1Pet4:17,18).

GOD wants full repentance so Mk4:28 Lk3:17 that His sheep, seed see
and know Him 1Jn3:6 lest Mat7:21-23; 8:12; 22:13; 25.

GOD says no darkness or sin abides in Him 1Jn1:5; 3:5 yet satan teaches
all willful sinning believers abide in a holy GOD.

GOD's ways

GOD, from Gen, separated fallen man from His holy, pure dwelling place,
sin is against Him as light to dark.

GOD, from Ex, proves this separation allowing a type of Christ
into the Holy of Holies, any trespass means death Lev10.

GOD, from N.T. gives access thru Christ into the Holiest, if clean and pure
thru copying His obedience, love, faith, as no sin abides, EVER!

GOD demands full belief, faith in His grace, love, power to make us holy, just,
right before entry, any lack is sin!!

GOD demands obedience to His holy law, His inerrant word, His Spirit commands,
His voice, to be holy, just, etc.

GOD's conditions for eternal life change not from Gen to Rev: believe and obey
or faith working by love, all else is sin!

GOD's holy, pure nature loves all purity as Him but hates evil Heb1:9
so must ultimately destroy all things against, contrary to Him.

GOD, Dec '86, ordained me into His 2Cor5:18,19b,20 thru suffering 6:1-10,
giving every penny back into ministry costs.

GOD demands obedience to His voice to prove worthy for His gifts,
disobedience is sin resulting in His wrath, yet...

GOD gives us freedom to seek His way or remain in/follow evil
Jn8:44 Rom6:16 1Jn3:4-10 our choice.

GOD never forces His will but empowers us to comply, fulfill,
satisfy His holy law, His Spirit commands, but...

GOD alone draws then calls then elects by His grace, love, power,
if we believe and obey Bible and Spirit as did Christ.

GOD's holy, inerrant word is 100% against evil yet satan teaches tolerance
e.g. Willow Creek humanistic, social gospel.

GOD clearly curses any teaching other than Christ and His deliverance FROM evil
Gal1 2Pet2 proving Jer23 Ezek34 Mat23 is NOW!

Rev Thomas Trask

Chicago

Dec '97 Part 1

GOD anointed my grandfather for missionary work in China thru AG UK and USA,
but he turned from serving GOD to adventure and worldly gain, losing life and loot.

GOD showed me Rom1:18 against his sin, a swift despatch at sea, or His mercy
Acts5:11, a constant reminder, lest I stray 1Cor9:27 Heb6:4-6; 10:26-31 Rev3:5 etc.

GOD is calling Rev Bruce Talso to serve in His new Acts15:16, His true church, thru
CCCInc. Chicago to fulfill His many promises, His literal rule, His full teaching.

GOD allowed Acts20:29,30 2Pet2 1Jn2:18,19 for 1900 years but Jer23:4,5b is now,
ensuring true Spirit teaching thru His dictated Bible studies, copying Acts2-7.

GOD's full salvation plan never tolerates sin, 100% contrary to AG's teaching; Jesus'
mission is still saving from sin, delivering from, freeing from, taking away, so 1Jn2:6; 3:6,9.

GOD's new Assemblies of GOD will teach as Jesus: sin is death, sin no more, ever,
for soul salvation now, then endure against the world, as Jesus, to see Rev20:6.

GOD's family or 3part church/temple is clearly seen by 1Jn2:27-3:9 levels but not
by mere mouth or Mat7:21 anointed level, refusing and rejecting Him and His word.

Robert Bristow

P.S.

Your recent book is a disgrace to GOD, His word, and His work
in true, obedient servants.

Dear Cory,

GOD is perfect love

Part 2
June '98

GOD's work of establishing initial, partial, full believers began with Adam,
but the current church fails to teach the whole word, Abraham believed fully.

GOD's work thru Christ broke satan's grip, if we obey in faith, but we must
copy Him to experience the same victory, most never try to follow Him.

GOD in Christ established some initial, and partial, and even full believers as
in Lk19:9,10, long before Acts2, so soul salvation is pre + post Jesus' work.

GOD the Spirit operates from Gen1:2 thru the whole word to Rev22:17, but from Acts2
He facilitates all GOD's work, especially in Rom8; 9-11 2Pet3 for His eternal glory.

GOD the Spirit is His second greatest gift, since, from Acts2 the Spirit effects His
work in us to believe, to obey, at ever increasing levels into soul salvation now.

GOD the Spirit only is our ongoing guarantee 2Cor1:22; 3:6; 5:5, His love gift
bringing very few believers into true union eternally 1Cor15 1Thes4:13-17 Heb11:40.

GOD in perfect love takes a few mere mortals to be His eternal companions,
an incredible act of His grace or mercy towards depraved, rebellious mankind.

Rom8..23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.
24 For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees?
25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for with perseverance.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 Now He who searches the hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because He makes intercession for the saints according to GOD.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love GOD, to those who are the called according to (His) purpose.
29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined, conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
31 What then shall we say to these things? If GOD for us, who against us?
32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall bring a charge against GOD's elect? GOD who justifies.
34 Who (is) he that condemns? Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of GOD, who also makes intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?

Rom9..15 For He says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion."
16 So then not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of GOD who shows mercy.

17 For the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth."
18 Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens.

2Pet3..9 The LORD is not slack concerning a promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all (of us) should come to repentance.
13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
14 Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless;
15 And consider the longsuffering of our LORD, value your salvation.

Dec'97 Part 1

GOD planted you at Moody for His global plan, but you continue
to live in complete darkness 2Cor4:3,4 yet to "experience" Christ Jesus.

GOD is "experienced" thru believing/faith Acts2 Eph3:17a; 4:13b or Jn14 level,
but you continue in gross disbelief, so closed to His Spirit grace, love, power.

GOD is "experienced" thru obeying Him Acts9:7-18; 5:32; 15:8 1Pet1 "obeying the
Spirit" 1Jn2:3,24,27 or Jn3:3 level, but you continue in gross sin, refusing to repent.

GOD is "experienced" thru growth, ever seeking His higher grace, love, power Eph4:15,
but you disbelieve in growing, teaching all believers copy Christ our holy, just GOD.

GOD will not be mocked, His holy word is clear Deut11:26-28 thru Rev21:7,8; 22:14,15,
but you disbelieve(unbelieving) His truth, teaching against Mat19:17 Rom2:13 Heb5:9 Jam2.

GOD Himself lived and fulfilled Mark13:13 Rom10:13 to ensure satan was overcome
forever and to keep the eternal promise when He Mat27:46 Lk23:46 Jn19:30.

GOD demands we overcome all, as He did, to receive and keep His promise, but
you refuse to believe His truth, teaching against 2Cor1:20 1Jn3:6,9; 5:4 Rev2; 3:5.

Rev Stowell,

May '97

GOD is life, the Son is life, the Spirit gives life, not the book, as you
teach (Mar '95), intellectualism is vain, man's wisdom, death.

GOD's voice, not written words, is living to those who hear Him,
an experience, lifestyle you keep rejecting, so 100% carnal, flesh.

GOD's voice led Paul, not written words, from Acts9:5,6(26:15-18)
into filling(lukewarm) Acts9:17 or Jn14 level, seen by many today.

GOD's voice led Paul, not written words, into purging, testing, proving,
till fire baptised(dead), sanctified to enter into a holy GOD.

GOD's voice led Paul, not written words, thru much more purging Jn15:2,
till 100% Spirit led (Rom8:1,4 Gal5:16,18) away from, out of sin, free!

GOD's voice can never lead to sin so any sinning believer claiming
Rom6:7,14,22; 8; 14:17 etc. lies against Him and His word.

GOD's voice is our tutor, growing us into Christ Gal3 Eph4:15 1Jn2
100% contrary to MBI teaching, so MBI is still Gal1:8,9 2Pet2:14.

Robert Bristow

Jn5:39 You search the scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life;

Jn6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing.

2Cor1..21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us, GOD,
22 Who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

2Cor3:6 ...ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

2Cor5:5 ...GOD, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.

Rev Dudley Foord
Sydney, Australia

Dear Dudley,

Chicago
Feb '98 Part 3

GOD's call to love Him

GOD, from Deut5, clearly calls us to love Him (and obey Him) to receive mercy
repeated in Deut6:5; 7; 10; 11; 13; 19; 30 till Lk10:27, but very few obey His call.

GOD is clear, "if you love Me, [you will] keep My commandments" Jn14:15, so sin is really hating Him,
as "sin is lawlessness" or disobeying the law 1Jn3:4, and disobeying Him brings wrath and death.

GOD clearly expects us to prove we love Him, as did Jesus, sent to die for us Phil2,
which completed the sacrificial covenant established when testing Abraham's love Gen22 Heb11.

GOD clearly equates our degree of obedience to Him with our degree of loving Him.

GOD's call to share His truth

GOD, from Ex to Rev, established His written word, literally breathed or dictated 2Tim3:16,17,
but the Spirit of truth Jn14:17-26; 16:13 is rarely believed, lived, shared at Jam2:23 level.

GOD the Christ is all, pure truth, partially known and shared by Eph3:17a; 4:13b 1Jn2:27 level,
fully known and shared by 2Pet1:4,11,12 1Jn3:6 level, as sin cannot truly know or share Him.

GOD, in Jn21, commands His chosen (seeing, knowing, eating), or Jn15:16 level, living 2Cor4:11-7:1
to fully feed (share) all truth, that His flock or family grow into Eph4:15 true sheep Jn10 + 15.

GOD's pure truth sets His true children free, no more sin, no longer bound Gal3; 4; 5 1Jn5.

GOD's hard conditions

GOD's word in Deut5 is rarely believed and lived, so: "visiting iniquity...who hate Me,
but mercy...who love Me and keep My commandments" 5:9,10.

GOD, in Deut11, repeats His warning and condition, "blessing, if you obey..GOD..curse
if you do not obey the commandments of the LORD your GOD" 11:26-28.

GOD in flesh, Jesus, confirms the 1st + great command, "love the LORD your GOD" Mat22:37-40,
but the Judas church denies the law, even teaches against the law.

GOD repeats His command, "If you love Me, [you will] keep My commandments" Jn14:15.

[GOD's hard call] [GOD's truth frees]

[GOD's business funding plan]

GOD's true blessing and mercy are thru hard conditions, rarely lived,
so very few grow from called to chosen, few experience His agape level.

Deut5:9,10; 11:26-28 Jn14:15

Mat19:17b..if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.

Jn15:10..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.

Heb5:9b..He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,

1Jn3:24a..Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him.

Rev22:14..Blessed are those do who His commandments, that they may have the right
to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.

      IF GOD has called you to be really like Jesus He will draw you into a life of crucifixion and humility. GOD's call will put such demands of obedience on you that you will not be able to follow other people, or measure yourself by other Christians. At times, He will let other people do things which He will not let you do.
      Other Christians who seem very religious will push themselves, pull wires, and work schemes to carry out their plans. You cannot, and if you attempt it, you will meet with failure and rebuke from the LORD.
      Others may boast of themselves, of their work, of their successes, but the Holy Spirit will not allow you to do any such thing, and if you begin it, He will lead you to despise yourself and all your good works.
      Others may be allowed to succeed in making money, or may have a legacy left to them, but it is likely GOD will keep you poor. GOD wants you to have something far better than gold, namely, a helpless dependence upon Him, that He may demonstrate His faithful love for you in supplying your needs day by day.
      GOD may let others be honored and put forward, and keep you hidden in obscurity in order to produce some fragrant fruit for his coming glory which can only be produced in the shade. He may let others be great, but keep you small. He may let others do a work for Him and get the credit for it now. The reward for your work is held in the hands of Jesus, and you will not see it until He comes.
      The Holy Spirit will put a strict watch over you with a jealous love. He will rebuke you for the little words and feelings or for wasting your time. So make up your mind that GOD is an infinite Sovereign, and has a right to do as He pleases with His own. He does not owe you an explanation of these mysteries. But if you give yourself to be His child, He will wrap you up in a jealous love, and give you the precious blessings for those who belong, heart and soul, to Him.
      Settle it forever, then, that you are to deal directly with the Holy Spirit. It is His option to tie your tongue, or chain your hand, or close your eyes in ways that He does not seem to use with others. And when you are so possessed by the living GOD that your heart delights over this peculiar, personal, private, jealous guardianship and management of the Holy Spirit over your life, you will have found the vestibule of Heaven.

Excerpted from Faith, Prayer & Tract League

23 Then Jesus said to His disciples, "Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24 "And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of GOD."

Mat19

Mat6:33: seek the kingdom, seek His righteousness,
both require a work of faith (belief) or "obedient faith."

GOD's kingdom: thru...

Mat11:12 "violent take it"

Lk13:24 "strive to enter"

Jn10:9 "if enter...saved"

Jn3:5 must be born of GOD

Acts14:22 "thru tribulations"

2Pet1:10 "diligence" into 1:11,12

His kingdom is in Him Rom14:17

very few in Him 1Jn2:6; 3:6

also born of GOD 1Jn3:9; 5

His righteousness: thru obedient faith...

note: justify + set right is the same Greek

Rom2:13 doing the law justifies

Rom3; 4:12-16 Jam2 faith works

Gal2; 3 thru faith, copying Abraham

till

1Cor1:30 "in Christ" (of Him 1Jn3:9)

...again in Rom6

Rom6:16 "obedience to righteousness"

Rom6:18 "slaves of righteousness"

the true heavenly promises are "in Christ" 2Cor1:20-22, if we
continue to be sealed by the Spirit, our guarantee Eph1:13,14; 4:30,
as the Spirit is life Jn4:10-14; 6:63; 7:37-39 2Cor3:6; 5:5 1Jn3:24; 5.

GOD is perfect love

Part 3

GOD in perfect love created man in His image Gen1:26,27, initially living in union,
perfect harmony, joy, peace, but freely disobeyed His love condition, freely choosing sin.

GOD in love established conditions or laws to believe and obey, to abide in His love
relationship, but from Adam till now very few comply, or even try to respond.

GOD in love appeared to Israel Ex19, and clearly defined our heart attitude to Him
in Ex20:5,6, but very few fulfill Mat22:37 Rom6:17; 7:6,12,22-8:13, to satisfy Him.

GOD in love sent Christ Jn3:16 1Jn4:9-11, that we should respond to His greatest gift
by believing and obeying Him, so then individually our sin is Rom3; 6 1Jn1:7; 3:5; 5:18.

GOD in love sent the Spirit or Helper Jn14, but very few desire, request, seek Him,
most so-called Christians are happy in sin, ever refusing the Spirit, so damned Mat12:31.

therefore

GOD in love must copy earlier patterns of chastising, that His church truly repents,
enabling the Spirit soul save a few thru purging and refining Job33 Acts14:22 etc.

GOD in love promised a literal rule in the final church period, to effect a true,
holy witness globally, 100% contrary to the current Judas church ruled by satan's sinners.

Is45..7 I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the LORD, do all these.

GOD the Creator fully intended man to be challenged, to test our love for Him,
beginning with Adam facing temptation from our ongoing adversary Gen2+3.

GOD the Creator allowed sin to enter man, so subsequent "created man" or offspring
is His ongoing creation Is45:7, yet contrary to His divine, holy, pure will ...so

GOD the Creator foreordained a redemption plan to satisfy His holy will, for a few
who forsake all to do His will, thru obedient faith in His grace, love, power .....till

GOD the Creator literally recreates our inner being, killing our Adam nature, to join
Him Jn15; 17:20-23, to truly partake 1Cor10+11 2Cor4:11-7:1 Eph4:24 2Pet1:4, to sup Rev2+3.

GOD the Creator continues to test our love for Him; some attain the Jn14 1Jn2:27 level,
but very few grow into Jn15 1Jn3:6 level, so very few are truly His Zech13:9.

GOD the Creator fully expects most fail, so are essentially "created" to fail,
fulfilling Rom9, despite His freely given grace, love, power, so Zech13:8.

GOD the Creator wills all believers repent 2Pet3:9b, but very few obey
His command Lk13:3,5 Acts2:38; 26:20, so "created" for dishonour, wrath Rom9.

In the third month after the children of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on the same day, they came the Wilderness of Sinai.
2 For they had departed from Rephidim, had come the Wilderness of Sinai, and camped in the wilderness. So Israel camped there before the mountain.
3 And Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain, saying, "Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:
4 'You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to Myself.
5 'Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth Mine.
6 'And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel."

2Chr7:14 2Cor6 1Pet2:3,5,9
Mat19:17 Heb5:9

9 And the LORD said to Moses, "Behold, I come to you in the thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever." So Moses told the words of the people to the LORD.
10 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes.
11 "And let them be ready for the third day. For on the third day the LORD will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.
12 "You shall set bounds for the people all around, saying, 'Take heed to yourselves lest you do go up to the mountain or touch its base. Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death.
13 'Not a hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot whether man or beast, he shall not live.' When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come near the mountain.''
14 So Moses went down from the mountain to the people and sanctified the people, and they washed their clothes.
15 And he said to the people, "Be ready for the third day; do not come near wives."
16 Then it came to pass on the third day, in the morning, that there were thunderings and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain; and the sound of the trumpet was very loud, so that all the people who in the camp trembled.
17 And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.
18 Now Mount Sinai completely in smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire. Its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.

Ex
19

19 And when the blast of the trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by voice.
20 Then the LORD came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain. And the LORD called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
21 And the LORD said to Moses, "Go down and warn the people, lest they break through to gaze at the LORD, and many of them perish.
22 "Also let the priests who come near the LORD consecrate themselves, lest the LORD break out against them."
23 But Moses said to the LORD, "The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai; for You warned us, saying, 'Set bounds around the mountain and consecrate it.' "
24 Then the LORD said to him, "Away! Get down and then come up, you and Aaron with you. But do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to the LORD, lest He break out against them."
25 So Moses went down to the people and spoke to them.

18 Now all the people witnessed the thunderings, the lightning flashes, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw they trembled and stood afar off.
19 Then they said to Moses, "You speak with us, and we will hear, but let not God speak with us, lest we die. "
20 And Moses said to the people, "Do not fear; for God has come to test you, and that His fear may be before you, so that you may not sin."
21 So the people stood afar off, but Moses drew near the thick darkness where God.
22 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: 'You have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.'"

12 Blessed the man who endures temptation; for when he has been tried, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

Jn19:31 refers to Nisan 14 + 15, then
Mat12:40 till 12:8 His holy day.
Christ waved Lev23, 1st day of wk
being the firstfruits to GOD.

1Cor

20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

GOD has not changed, His manifestation has conditions: to love + obey Him

as He demands in Jn14 Acts5:32 1Pet1:22,23 1Jn2 (3:6b) that 1Cor12:7(8-11)

so then receiving Him Jn1:12 Act1:8; 9:17 Eph3:17a; 4:13b working to Eph4:15

all His grace, love, power upon His 3part church, from Acts2:1(50 days after 7th day,

or 50 days from 1st day, Lev23:15,16) so Acts1:3 forty days strictly began end of 7th day,

or evening of 1st day, later is Jn20 as His day follows night Gen1, note 20:19 is day

in strict Hebrew time turning evening or night of 2nd day as Jn uses Roman time etc.

GOD called Tassos Malliaris into His work for the final, true 70 book Bible based

on RT, law of text, Jn15 level, as Judas teachers have destroyed past scholarship of

Tischendorf etc, so His remedy is CCCInc. Bible studies, teaching millions Lk21:27.

Mar'98 Part 1

GOD the Spirit gifted true, obedient seekers, growing them into called, or lukewarm,
or Jn3:3; 14 level, or merely born again; yet to be fire baptised or fire purged into Him.

GOD the Spirit unction or continual manifestation is thru obedient faith, growing a few thru
1Pet1:7 into 1:9, or true earthly, soul salvation, or Job33:24-30, or Acts14:22 Heb10:39.

GOD the Spirit is "seen" thru His eyes; rarely by sinners, and only dimly by anointed,
but clearly by 1Cor2:6; 12:12-28a Col1:28 Eph4:13c-16,24; 5:27, so truly Job33:26; 42:5.

GOD the Spirit is "seen" thru faith works as Rom4:12,16 Jam2, but the Judas church
teaches outward evidence is proof of salvation, gross lies against Him and His word, 2Tim2;3.

GOD the Spirit produces His fruit, or more accurately reproduces Himself in/thru His own, so
Gal5 qualifies a few in true union, or "perfect in one" Jn17:20-23, so "firstfruits" Rom8:23.

GOD the Spirit demands death of our all, or total, to enter His being; only then does Rom8
apply to us, or qualifies His own, if they obey all He says 1Cor9:27 Heb3:6,14; 5:9 or 6:4-6.

GOD the Spirit never forsakes obedient faith, wishing to save all, but thru free will
we choose much Rom1:18; 2:1-16; but the Judas church claims Rom8 applies to all.

GOD rules

Jan '97

GOD's full, bitter truth has been shared to thousands for ten yrs, yet none believe, obey, teach, Gen-Rev e.g. Ex20 Lev23 or 2Ch7:14 Zech13:9 Mat1:21 2Cor6 to be His or Jn5:14; 8:11 Rom2:13; 6:16 to abide 1Jn2:6; 3:6 so very few truly abide in Christ, yet 2 billion merely confess Him as do Mat8:29 Jam2:19 Jn8:44 1Jn3:8a.

GOD foretold satan's rule Acts20:27-30 2Pet2 1Jn2:18,19, seen now by true believers obeying His voice e.g. Mat5:48; 6:33; 19:17; 22:37-40, to prove we love Him Jn10:17; 15:10 1Jn3:24 Rev14:12; 20:4,6, also seeing His hand in Jer23 Acts15:16 NOW, proving Is11:11,12 Lk1:33 will repeat Acts2:42-47; 5:42, but globally.

GOD promised to effect Spirit rule, 100% contrary to man's 1900yr rule, copying Paul's example Acts20, as chief 2Cor11:5; 12:11 1Cor4; 11:1-3a even over Peter Gal2:11 1Tim1:16 2Pet3:15,16, so His true spiritual, holy, sin-free body Eph1:4-14 2:6; 5:27 Heb12:22,23 or Rom6:3-8,22; 8:14,29, apostle of GOD, Rev2:27 fulfilling Dan2:40-45; 7:7 Rev17:9.

GOD's promised grace Is65; 66 Mic4; 5 etc. demands an equal measure of obedience into right Rom2:13; 6:16 as His full grace demands a walk Rom4:12-16; 5:2; 5:21 or blind obedience to His voice, from 1Pet1:22,23 thru 1:7-16 into Job33:24 1Pet2:3,5,9 2Pet1:4,11 1Jn3:6,9 then truly His, if endure forever, hoping for Rom8:23-25 1Pet1:3-5; 4 Heb3:1,6,14.

GOD promised a Ruler for His true people Mat2:6 Lk1:33, qualifying 100s O.T. references for His 3part church but most believers are bound, lost, sinful, rejecting His grace, love, power for soul salvation, so join Esau's fate, Obadiah Zech13:8 Ps1:5 1Pet4:18, as sin is darkness and death, outside Christ, few truly abide 1Jn, most Heb12:15-17.

GOD promised a personal love, agape or affection, towards His true people Jn15:10, as Jacob Rom9:13, but few join Jacob's joy Rom11:26,27 1Jn3:5,6 Jn15:11, most only experience His moral love Jn3:16 ever in sin, so His enemies Mat15:26 Rom5:8,10 1Cor15:25; 16:22 Col1:21 Heb10:13, outside Christ Jn15:6 2Thes1:8,9 as He hates sin Heb1:9 1Jn3:4,8a,10.

GOD promised a fire purging to set right or justify His true people Lk3:16; 12:49 1Pet1:7 Rev3:18 qualifying Is48 Mal3 1Pet2:5,9 1Jn1:6, so very few Col1:11-13, worthy 1Cor10:15-21; 11:23-31 2Cor4:11-7:1 Lk20:35,36 and few truly believe Jn5:24; 6:47-63 "as Christ" or "in Christ" 1Jn2:6, most so-called believers outside Christ Jn3:18-21.

GOD's full, heavenly promises are experienced by His true people 2Ch7:14 Rom8:15-17; 14:17 Eph1:4-14; 2; 3:17b-19; 5:27 as fallen man is of satan Jn8:40-44 1Jn3:8a,10, totally rejecting Jn4:22c; 19:19-22 Lk19:14, very few see Job33:24-30 1Pet1:9; 2:24,25 most outside Christ 2Cor4:3,4 Eph2:12; 5:3-6, in Adam 1Cor15:22, so Lk19:27 Rev2:9; 3:9; 18; 20:7-15 2Pet2:17 Jude7-13.

[3part church]

GOD is perfect love

Part 4

GOD in perfect love offers all believers an opportunity to have all sins forgiven,
but very few are truly forgiven, as the Judas church deliberately misteaches the full truth.

GOD in love established His conditions for His forgiveness, we must forgive all Mat6; 18:35,
but the Judas church ignores His word totally, teaching lies, myth, 100% contrary to the Bible.

GOD in love sent the Spirit Helper, enabling us to satisfy His conditions for full forgiveness,
simply, copy Christ, yet very few even try to follow Him to grow into His likeness Eph4:15 1Jn2:6.

GOD in love grows a few thru obedient faith into Christ, essential, as full forgiveness
is available only in Christ Eph4:32 Col2:11-13, so very few secure His great offer.

Mat6..12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
14 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Mat18..35 So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.

Note: Mk11:25,26

Eph4..32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as in Christ GOD forgave you.

Col2..11 ...in Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,
12 Buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised through faith in the working of GOD, who raised Him from the dead.
13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses.

The above text was taken from George Ricker Berry's Greek to English Interlinear New Testament;
found at any true Christian bookstore.

Mat 6	12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. 14 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men
18	35 So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.

GOD clearly demands a walk
(not a talk)
for His cleansing & forgiveness

a.	Confessing initial belief and need merely invites the Holy Spirit indwelling 1Cor12:3 Eph3:16; 4:13a.
b.	Obedience is essential for Holy Spirit infilling, power.
c.	Holy Spirit power is essential to truly hear His voice into higher levels of belief (or faith), obedience, etc.
d.	Holy Spirit power is essential to learn His will, then be led thru hell to prove ourselves to Him.
e.	Holy Spirit power delivers us from evil, into Him, into Jn15, into His kingdom, His life, His presence/union.

[Above, left is a simplistic formula leading to a false security and spirit-only salvation 1Cor3:15; 5:5

GOD's clear, precise salvation plan as taught by Christ Jesus has been changed
into mere head assent and confessing sin, evidence AG's ABC of Salvation.

GOD demands we believe as Abraham Rom4:12-16 Jam2, not as demons Jam2:19,
yet AG quotes Jn3:16 incorrectly: Greek says "believing into...may have life" as Jn6:40.

GOD demands we believe His voice (His spoken word) today Jn5:24, as the Spirit is life,
not the written word Jn6:63 2Cor3:6, so we must believe as Him to be in Him 1Jn2:6; 5.

GOD demands we forgive to be forgiven Mat6:12-15; 18:35 Mk11:25,26 copying Jesus and
Stephen, yet AG teaches mere confession: Greek 1Jn1:9 says "may forgive," GOD cannot lie.

GOD demands we walk as Him to be washed with His living, pure water Jn3:5; 4:14 Jer2:13; 17:13
Heb10:22 1Jn1:7, yet AG teaches mere confession: Greek 1Jn1:9 says "may cleanse," so Jn13:8.

GOD demands we obey Him into love works Mat5:44-48 and obey Him into faith works Jn8:39,
any lack is sin, missing the mark, or failing His standards or failing His grace.

GOD demands we obey Him into life Mat19:17, into just Rom2:13, into right Rom6:16 (thru faith),
into soul salvation Acts14:22 Heb5:9 1Pet1:9, yet AG denies, ignores, rejects His truth.

Part 5

GOD in perfect love established feasts and holy days to
commemorate His great love acts, but the Judas church totally
ignores His holy commands, so billions remain lost, unsaved.

GOD in love commands "an everlasting ordinance" Ex12:14,17,24,
rarely adhered to by Christians, tho a few keep the true sabbath Ex20:8-11
Acts13:14,42,44; 16:13; 17:2; 18:4, striving to obey Mat19:17 Heb5:9.

Lev23... the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: 'The feasts of the LORD, which you shall proclaim, holy convocations, these My feasts.
3 'Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work; it's the Sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
4 'These the feasts of the LORD, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at their appointed times.
5 'On the fourteenth of the first month at twilight the LORD's Passover.
6 'And on the fifteenth day of the same month the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the LORD; seven days you must eat unleavened bread.
7 'On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it.
8 'But you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD for seven days. The seventh day a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work.' "
9 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

15 'And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed.
16 'Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall offer a new grain offering to the LORD.
17 '..the firstfruits to the LORD.
20 'The priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs. They shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.
21 'And you shall proclaim on the same day it is a holy convocation to you. You shall do no customary work, a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.' "

v.17 refers to Rom8:23

10 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: 'When you come into the land which I give to you, and reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest.
11 'He shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted on your behalf; on the day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.
12 'And you shall offer on that day, when you wave the sheaf, a male lamb of the first year, without blemish, as a burnt offering to the LORD.
14 'You shall eat neither bread nor parched grain nor fresh grain until the same day that you have brought an offering to your GOD; a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

v.10,11 was fulfilled by Christ,
harvested on His holy day, later
waved on the 1st day of week.

23 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
24 "Speak to the children of Israel, saying: 'In the seventh month, on the first of the month, you shall have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.
25 'You shall do no customary work; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD.' "
26 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:
27 "Also the tenth of this seventh month the Day of Atonement. It shall be a holy convocation for you; you shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire to the LORD.
28 "And you shall do no work on that same day, for it is the Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you before the LORD your GOD.
29 "For any person who is not afflicted on that same day, he shall be cut off from his people.
30 "And any person who does any work on that same day, that person I will destroy from among his people.
31 "You shall do no manner of work; a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
32 "It's to you a sabbath of rest, and you shall afflict your souls; on the ninth of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall celebrate your sabbath."
33 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
34 "Speak to the children of Israel, saying: 'The fifteenth day of this seventh month the Feast of Tabernacles seven days, to the LORD.
35 'On the first day a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work.
36 'Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation, and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. It a sacred assembly, you shall do no customary work.' "

Sabbath

Dictionary A

Sabbath in the New Testament

      The sabbath appears in the teachings of Jesus, in his conflicts with religious leaders, and in the later NT church.
      1. Gospels. Jesus, at the beginning of his ministry in Galilee, "went to the synagogue, as his custom was, on the sabbath day" (Luke 4:16). The phrase "as his custom was" indicates that Jesus continued to worship on the sabbath. He remained a faithful disciple of OT scripture following his established custom of attending the synagogue each sabbath (cf. Mark 1:21, 29; 3:1; Luke 4:44; 13:10; etc.).
      The four Gospels record among eight sabbath incidents six controversies in which Jesus "rejected the rabbinic sabbath halakhah" (Jeremias 1973: 201), i.e., two are recorded in the three synoptics (Matt 12:1-8 = Mark 2:23-28 = Luke 6:1-5; Matt 12:9-14 = Mark 3:1-6 = Luke 6:6-11), one is recorded in two synoptics (Mark 1:21-28 = Luke 4:31-37) and the remainder are found in Mark (1:29-31), Luke (13:10-17; 14:1-6) and John (5:1-18; 9:1-41) only. The authenticity of these pericopes seems well established (Rordorf 1968: 54-74; Lohse TDNT 7: 21-30; Goppelt 1981: 94). Only Jesus' inaugural sabbath sermon in Nazareth (Luke 4:16-30) and the healing of Peter's mother-in-law on the sabbath (Mark 1:29-31) are outside of explicit controversy contexts. All except two (Luke 4:16-30; Mark 2:23-28) of the nine sabbath pericopes involve sabbath miracles.
      After Jesus had started to preach in the synagogue in Capernaum a man with an unclean spirit interrupted him. Jesus drove the unclean spirit out of this demon-possessed man (Mark 1:21-28 = Luke 4:31-37). Subsequently, Jesus healed Peter's mother-in-law from a fever on the sabbath (Mark 1:29-31). Jesus continued to preach in the Galilean synagogues presumably on the sabbath and cast out demons (v 39).
      At times Jesus is interpreted to have abrogated or suspended the sabbath commandment on the basis of the controversies brought about by sabbath healings and other acts. Careful analysis of the respective passages does not seem to give credence to this interpretation. The action of plucking ears of grain on the sabbath by the disciples is particularly important in this matter. Jesus makes a foundational pronouncement at that time in a chiastically structured statement of antithetic parallelism: "The sabbath was made for man and not man for the sabbath" (Mark 2:27). The disciples' act of plucking grain infringed against the rabbinic halakhah of minute casuistry in which it was forbidden to reap, thresh, winnow, and grind on the sabbath (Sabb. 7.2). Here again rabbinic sabbath halakhah is rejected, as in other sabbath conflicts. Jesus reforms the sabbath and restores it to its rightful place as designed in creation, where the sabbath is made for all mankind and not specifically for Israel, as claimed by normative Judaism (cf. Jub. 2:19-20, see D.3). The subsequent logion, "The Son of Man is Lord even of the sabbath" (Mark 2:28; Matt 12:8; Luke 6:5), indicates that man-made sabbath halakhah does not rule the sabbath, but that the Son of Man, not man, is Lord of the sabbath. It was God's will at creation that the sabbath have the purpose of serving mankind for rest and bring blessing. The Son of Man as Lord determines the true meaning of the sabbath. The sabbath activities of Jesus are neither hurtful provocations nor mere protests against rabbinic legal restrictions, but are part of Jesus' essential proclamation of the inbreaking of the kingdom of God in which man is taught the original meaning of the sabbath as the recurring weekly proleptic "day of the Lord" in which God manifests his healing and saving rulership over man.
      The seven miraculous sabbath healings of Jesus indicate once again that Jesus restores the sabbath to be a benefit for humankind against any distortions of human religious and/or cultic traditions. The healing of the man with the withered hand (Mark 3:1-6 = Matt 12:9-14 = Luke 6:6-11) brought about another confrontation with Pharisees and scribes, because healing on the sabbath was only permitted in case of danger to life (m. Yoma 8.6) which obviously was not the case here (cf. Luke 14:1-6) or elsewhere in sabbath healings (John 5:1-18; 9:1-41). Jesus maintained here as always, against the rabbinic position, that "it is lawful to do good on the sabbath" (Matt 12:12).
      In his eschatological discourse (Matthew 24), Jesus urged his followers to pray that their flight "may not be in winter or on the sabbath" (Matt 24:20; Mark 13:18 omits "on the sabbath"). Jesus anticipated that his followers would continue to regard the sabbath as holy in the future. His request for them was that they be spared from having to flee on the sabbath, but he presupposes that they would flee if they had to. Lohse maintains, "Mt. 24:20 offers an example of the keeping of the Sabbath by Jewish Christians" (TDNT 7: 29). A society governed by many rabbinic sabbath laws would make it rather difficult for Christians to flee on the sabbath.
      In short, Jesus declared himself Lord of the sabbath. He consistently rejected man-made sabbath halakhah. He freed the sabbath from human restrictions and encumbrances and restored it by showing its universal import for all men so that every person can be the beneficiary of the divine intentions and true purposes of sabbath rest and joy. Carson has concluded, "There is no hint anywhere in the ministry of Jesus that the first day of the week is to take the character of the Sabbath and replace it" (1982: 85).
      2. Acts. Aside from two casual references to the sabbath (Acts 1: 12; 15:21), the sabbath is mentioned in connection with the establishment of' churches in Pisidian Antioch (13:13-52), Philippi (16:11-15), Thessalonica (17:1-9), and Corinth (18:1-4). The Western text includes Ephesus (18:19). Paul, as Jesus before him, went to the synagogue on sabbath "as his custom was" (Acts 17:2; cf. 24: 14; 28:17).

There is silence on the subject of sabbath abolition at the Jerusalem Conference (15:1-29). There is also no evidence for the abrogation of the sabbath after the Jerusalem Council in the apostolic age or by apostolic authority in the early church (Turner 1982: 135-37). Early Jewish and non-Jewish Christians continued to worship on the seventh day as far as the evidence in the book of Acts is concerned.


Acts 20	29 For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. 31 Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.		1Jn 2	18 Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.

Dictionary B

     NT 1. The Gospels. The Palestinian attitude to sabbath observance is in evidence in the Gospels. Christ's conflicts with the Jews, mentioned in all four Gospels, centre on the question of what was or was not permissible on the sabbath. In each case Jesus or his disciples are challenged over this. In all but one of these it is a question of healing on the sabbath day. The other occasion is when the disciples plucked the ears of corn as they passed through the field.
      Taking the six recorded confrontations with the Jews over the sabbath question, the replies of Jesus will offer some clues as to whether he was in fact abrogating a day of rest or merely challenging the restrictions which in their traditions the rabbis had imposed.
      (a) Mk. 2:23-26; Matt. 12:1-8; Lk. 6:1-5. These particular accounts relate the incident of the plucking of the ears of corn on the sabbath day. According to the Pharisees, this was breaking the law. In Matt.'s account the reason given is that the disciples were hungry. This is not mentioned in Mark, though the answer seems to assume it. Jesus claims that, as in the case of David and his men (I Sam. 21:1-6; cf. 2 Sam. 8:17; Deut. 23:25), human need overrides the ritual law, in this case the sabbath law (cf. Exod. 23:12; Deut. 5:4). The law itself is not challenged, but Jesus claims an overriding factor.
      (b) Mk. 3:1-6; Matt. 12:9-14; Lk. 6:6-11. These passages describe the healing of the man with the withered hand. In this case, before healing him, Jesus asks the Jewish leaders whether it is lawful on the sabbath day, "to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill?" Again there is no challenge to the law itself; in fact the wording assumes its relevance. The right use of the law, the salvation, the making whole of man, is the great object behind that law and therefore the healing is justified.
      (c) Lk. 13:10-17 relates the story of a woman bowed down with infirmity. She came into the synagogue and Jesus restored her. This roused the anger of the ruler of the synagogue. Jesus' reply includes two points. What he had done was an act of mercy such as they themselves would have allowed to an animal. It was also the destruction of a work of Satan. There is no hint that the principle of a day of rest was being questioned, but merely the right use of the day.
      (d) Lk. 14:1-6. In this case Jesus again opens the discussion by asking the Pharisees whether it is right to heal on the sabbath day or not. To this they offered no reply. This is a particularly important incident, as the question was addressed to those who were expert in the law (nomikous). Jesus proceeded to heal the man and then explained that healing the sick is in fact just as much an act of mercy as the pulling out of an animal from a well. The fact that the experts could offer no reply suggests that they agreed that Jesus was not challenging the sabbath law.
      (e) Jn. 5:1-9, 16, 17; 7:22. Here the man who had been infirm for thirty-eight years was healed by Jesus on the sabbath day and told to take up his bed and walk, possibly a part of the complete healing. The Jews persecuted Jesus. He replied, "My Father is working up till now and I am working." In other words, he is continuing, in the healing, the work that the Father has all the while been doing. The Jews then plotted to kill him, because he was breaking the sabbath and making himself equal to God. Some commentators take this as being the view of the author that Jesus was in fact annulling the sabbath (E. Lohse, TDNT VII 27); but it seems best, after what has been said in the other controversies, to take it that it was the view of his accusers. This is confirmed by the words in Jn. 7:22, where Jesus explains that the law of circumcision overrides the law of the sabbath. Had he been annulling the sabbath law, he would hardly have argued in this way, and again the words "until now [heos arti]" suggest that, all the while that the sabbath command was in force, God was in fact working. In other words, the sabbath command does not mean doing nothing (argia), but the doing of the work of God. This was in fact what Christ had been doing in the healing of the infirm man.
      (f) Jn. 9. In the case of the man born blind, no words are spoken by Christ to defend his action, but in the answer to the disciples' question in v. 2, Christ claims the sabbath healing was "that the works of God might be made manifest."
      (g) In addition to these incidents there is the reference in Lk. 4:16 to Jesus' attendance at the synagogue "as was his custom." The natural meaning of this expression is that Jesus followed the ordinary habits of Jewish worship on the sabbath day. This

certainly had been the pattern of his boyhood (Lk. 2:22, 41). It may be significant that, at his trial before the Sanhedrin (Matt. 26:57-68 par. Mk. 14:53-65; Lk. 22:54-71; Jn. 18:13-24), while the accusation of destroying the temple is included, there is no mention of an annulling of the sabbath law.
      (h) In Matt. 24:20, Christ's followers are told to pray that in the coming destruction of Jerusalem their flight should not occur in the winter or on the sabbath day. This need not imply that Christ foresaw his followers continuing to observe the sabbath, but merely that it would be impossible to get help or buy what was needed in the emergency on a sabbath day in the vicinity of Jerusalem.
      We may conclude then, that though Jesus broke through the rabbinic traditions about the sabbath, there was no annulling of the observance of the day.
      (i) Turning now to Mk. 2:27, there is a positive statement of Christ's about the sabbath. Here its institution is stated to have been made for man's good and it would seem that there is at least an indirect reference to the account in Gen. 2:1, 2 (J. Jeremias, New Testament Theology, I, 1971, 208). It would then imply that the ordinance was not merely for Israel, but had a pre-Israelite, worldwide, humanitarian, implication. This is followed by the claim, mentioned in the other two Gospels, that Jesus was "Lord of the sabbath." In other words, he has the authority to decide about its observance. Far from suggesting that, though a benefit to man, it was to be annulled, it would suggest that the manner of its observance was under the control of Christ Himself.
      2. The Acts of the Apostles. Turning to the Acts of the Apostles, we find that in the decrees of the Jerusalem Council in ch. 15 no mention is made of the sabbath. This would imply that it was not a point of disagreement between Jewish and Gentile Christians. Paul on his missionary journeys seized the opportunity to preach as occasion arose in the synagogues on the sabbath day and this was his custom (Acts 13:5, 14, 44; 14:1; 16:13; 17:2, 17; 18:4; 19:8).

Dictionary C

      In the NT. - A. Jesus in the Gospels. On the one hand, it appears that Jesus kept the sabbath faithfully by attending the synagogue and by teaching (Mk. 1:21; 6:2; Lk. 4:16, 31). On the other hand, Jesus was involved in sabbath conflicts with the Pharisees. Mark recounts two such incidents. In the first (Mk. 2:23-38) Jesus defends His disciples for plucking grain on the sabbath (cf. Mt. 12:1-8; Lk. 6:1-5). The Pharisees apparently interpreted this activity as reaping, which was one of the thirty-nine "main tasks" prohibited on the sabbath. In good pharisaic fashion, Jesus responds by citing Scripture. He recalls that David broke the law by eating the bread of the presence (1 Sam. 21:1-6), and He concludes that the "sabbath was made for man" (Mk. 2:27) and that the "Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath" (v. 28). The parallel in Matthew is an expanded version. Here Jesus reminds the Pharisees that the priests in the temple regularly work on the sabbath, and He tells them that "something greater than the temple is here" (Mt. 12:6). A further allusion to Hos. 6:6 suggests that mercy shown on the sabbath outweighs sacrifice (Mt. 12:7). In a second Markan episode Jesus heals a man with a withered hand on the sabbath (Mk. 3:1-6; cf. Mt. 12:9-14; Lk. 6:6-11). The pharisaic tradition generally permitted healing on the sabbath only in cases where life was in danger. The question that Jesus posed to the Pharisees effectively broadened this principle by permitting the doing of any good act on the sabbath (Mk. 3:4). Again, the parallel in Matthew is expanded by a typical rabbinic argument "from lesser to greater;" if a sheep can be rescued from a pit on the sabbath (an act permitted by at least some witnesses to the pharisaic tradition), then it should be lawful to do good to human beings (Mt. 12:11f.).
      Luke includes two additional instances of Jesus healing on the sabbath (Lk. 13:10-17; 14:1-6). In both cases Jesus again argues "from lesser to greater?": if animals can be tended and rescued, then human beings can lawfully be healed (Lk. 13:5f.; 14:5). John also offers two additional sabbath healing episodes (Jn. 5:2-19; 9:1-41). The sabbath controversy is almost incidental in Jn. 9 (vv. 14, 16), but it is central in ch. 5. The attention of the Pharisees ("the Jews," vv. 10, 15, 18) is attracted by a man carrying a pallet, an act in violation of the prohibition of carrying objects. The healed man informs the Pharisees that Jesus had commanded him to carry his pallet and walk. This offended the Pharisees, as did the healing itself, since the man had been lame for thirty-eight years and no mortal danger was involved. Jesus' response touches upon an issue debated in the pharisaic tradition, the question of whether God observes the sabbath. Contrary to the book of Jubilees, Jesus affirms the pharisaic view and then goes beyond it by saying, "My Father is working still, and I am working" Jn. 5:17). In short, Jesus claims the prerogative of working on the sabbath by claiming identity with God. In a continuation of the healing episode in ch. 5, Jesus reminds the Pharisees that they permit circumcision on the sabbath and then argues that He should thus lawfully be permitted to heal the whole body (7:22f.).
      The sabbath conflicts are difficult to evaluate. Jesus observed the sabbath. He never broke any regulations found in the Torah. He used pharisaic methods of argument, and He agreed with the Pharisees on several points. Considering that the pharisaic tradition itself was diverse and was still developing in the early 1st cent A.D., it seems unlikely to some scholars that Jesus' view of the sabbath would have provoked from the Pharisees the vehement hostility described in the Gospels. Thus, some have suggested that the sabbath conflict accounts may reflect the growing rift between Church and synagogue that occurred after A.D. 70, during the time in which the Gospels were written. The final form of the conflict accounts thus presents Jesus as "Lord even of the sabbath" (Mk. 2:28). This view does not necessarily imply that the Church had stopped observing the seventh day by the end of the 1st cent. A.D., but it suggests that the Church had begun to view the sabbath christologically and to observe it in ways that departed from the practice of emerging Rabbinic Judaism.

Clergy opinions on the true sabbath.

Why do most Christian churches in the world currently teach observance of Sunday as a day of rest and worship, while it is generally known and freely admitted that the Hebrew nation and the early Christians observed Saturday, the seventh day of the week?
It was prophesied by the seer Daniel long ago that an attempted change in the laws and times of the Creator would be effected and by whom Daniel 7:25. History, both secular and ecclesiastical, bears out that it was a politico-religious system which decreed the observance of the first day of the week in place of the seventh, under the penalty of severe persecution for noncompliance.

The papacy freely acknowledges "changing the Sabbath."

   The Cathechismus Romanas was commanded by the Council of Trent and published by the Vatican Press, by order of Pope Pius V, in 1566. This catechism for priests says: "It pleased the church of God, that the religious celebration of the Sabbath day should be transferred to 'the Lord's day.' -Cathechism of the Council of Trent (Donovan's translation 1867), part 3, chap. 4, p. 345. The same, in slightly different wording, is in the McHugh and Callen translation (1937 ed.), p. 402.
   "Ques. - How prove you that the Church hath power to command feasts and holy days?
   "Ans. - By the very act of changing the Sabbath into Sunday, which Protestants allow of; and therefore they fondly contradict themselves, by keeping Sunday strictly, and breaking most other feasts commanded by the same Church." -Henry Tuberville, An Abridgement of the Christian Doctrine (1833 approbation), p. 58. (Same statement in Manual of Christian Doctrine. ed., by Daniel Ferris (1916 ed.] p. 67).
   "Ques. - Have you any other way of proving that the Church has power to institute festivals of precept?
   "Ans. - Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her; - she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday the seventh day, a change for which there is no Scriptural authority." -Stephen Keenan, A Doctrinal Catechism (3rd ed.), p. 174.

   "The Catholic Church,...by virtue of her divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to Sunday." -The Catholic Mirror, official organ of Cardinal Gibbons, Sept. 23, 1893.
   "1. Is Saturday the 7th day according to the Bible and the 10 Commandments?
   "I answer yes.
   "2. Is Sunday the first day of the week and did the Church change the 7th day - Saturday - for Sunday, the 1st day:
   "I answer yes.
   "3. Did Christ change the day?
   "I answer no! Faithfully yours, J. Card. Gibbons" -Gibbons' autograph letter.
   "Ques. - Which is the Sabbath day?
   "Ans. - Saturday is the Sabbath day.
   "Ques. - Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?
   "Ans. - We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday." - Peter Geiermann, The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine (1946 ed.), p. 50. Geiermann received the apostolic blessing" of Pope Pius X in his labors. Jan. 25, 1910.

Catholic authorities acknowledge that there is no command in the Bible for the sanctification of Sunday.

"You may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify." -James Cardinal Gibbons, The Faith of Our Fathers (1917 ed.), pp. 72, 73.

"Nowhere in the Bible is it stated that worship should be changed from Saturday to Sunday. The fact is that the Church was in existence for several centuries before the Bible was given to the world. The Church made the Bible, the Bible did not make the Church. [CCCInc. Note: this is arrogant garbage. GOD gave Moses the Bible's first five books 3500 years ago.]

"Now the Church ... instituted, by God's authority, Sunday as the day of worship. This same Church, by the same divine authority, taught the doctrine of Purgatory long before the Bible was made. We have, therefore, the same authority for Purgatory as we have for Sunday." -Martin J. Scott, Things Catholics Are Asked About (1927 ed.), p. 136.

"If we consulted the Bible only, we should still have to keep holy the Sabbath Day, that is, Saturday." -John Laux, A Course in Religion for Catholic High Schools and Academies, vol. 1 (1936 ed.), p. 51. Quoted by permission of Benziger Brothers, Inc., proprietors of the copyright.

from Kraemer...

   "Regarding the change from the observance of the Jewish Sabbath to the Christian Sunday, I wish to draw your attention to the facts:
   "1) That Protestants, who accept the Bible as the only rule of faith and religion, should by all means go back to the observance of the Sabbath. The fact that they do not, but on the contrary observe the Sunday, stultifies them in the eyes of every thinking man.
   "2) We Catholics do not accept the Bible as the only rule of faith. Besides the Bible we have the living Church, the authority of the Church, as a rule to guide us. We say, this Church, instituted by Christ to teach and guide man through life has the right to change the ceremonial laws of the Old Testament and hence, we accept her change of the Sabbath to Sunday. We frankly say, yes, the Church made this change, made this law, as she made many other laws, for instance, the Friday abstinence, the unmarried priesthood, the laws concerning mixed marriages, the regulation of Catholic marriages and a thousand other laws.
   "3) We also say that of all Protestants, the Seventh-day Adventist denomination is the only major Protestant denomination that reasons correctly and is consistent with its teaching. It is always somewhat laughable, to see the Protestant churches, in pulpit and legislation, demand the observance of Sunday, of which there is nothing in their Bible. -Father Peter R. Kraemer    Catholic Church Extension Society Chicago, ILL.

from Enright...

   "My brethren, look about you upon the various wrangling sects and denominations. Show me one that claims or possesses the power to make laws binding on the conscience. There's but one on the face of the earth - the Catholic Church that has the power to make laws binding upon the conscience, binding before God, binding under pain of hell fire. Take, for instance, the day we celebrate - Sunday. What right have the Protestant churches to observe that day? None whatever. You say it is to obey the commandment, 'Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.' But Sunday is not the Sabbath according to the Bible and the record of time.
   "Every one knows that Sunday is the first day of the week, while Saturday is the seventh day, and the Sabbath, the day consecrated as a day of rest. It is so recognized in all civilized nations. I have repeatedly offered $1,000 to any one who will furnish any proof from the Bible that Sunday is the day we are bound to keep, and no one has called for the money. If any person in this town will show any scripture for it, I will tomorrow evening publicly acknowledge it and thank him for it. It was the Holy Catholic Church that changed the day of rest from Saturday to Sunday, the first day of the week. And it not only compelled all to keep Sunday, but at the Council of Laodicea, A.D. 364, anathematized those who kept the Sabbath and urged all persons to labor on the seventh day under penalty of anathema.
   "Which church does the whole civilized world obey? Protestants call us every horrible name they can think of -antichrist, the scarlet colored beast, Babylon, etc., and at the same time profess great reverence for the Bible, and yet by their solemn act of keeping Sunday, they acknowledge the power of the Catholic Church.
   "The Bible says: 'Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy, ' But the Catholic Church says, 'No, keep the first day of the week,' and the whole world bows in obedience." -Father T. Enright Roman Catholic Priest Kansas City. Mo.

GOD thru the Bible...

The apostle Paul also warned concerning the apostasy that was to rise after his death Acts20:29,30 2Thess2:1-8 and indicated eternal damnation for those who follow the traditions and commandments of men 2Thess2:9-12. The Eternal's standard of righteousness is found in the Ten Commandments, the law by which all will be judged Rom1:18; 2:7-16 James 2:8-12.

Will you follow the traditions of man or the Commandments of GOD?

Passover '97

Passover

GOD, in Ex12, established Nisan 14 as Passover, an everlasting memorial/ordinance
Rom2:13; 3:31; 7:12.

GOD, in Lev23, established Nisan 15 a holy or high sabbath, then 50 days
to the "firstfruits" for another holy or high sabbath.

GOD, in Acts, kept them valid, but the Judas church changed/denied His law
Acts20:29 2Pet2:14 1Jn2:18,19 so...

GOD, from May '88, is establishing new shepherds Jer23:4 2Cor4:11-7:1
truly abiding 1Jn2:6; 3:6,24 NOW.

GOD, from May '88, is ruling in His true people Jer23:5b Mat2:6; 1:21 1Jn3:5,9
truly free Rom6:22 1Pet4:1.

GOD, from Nov '95, is purging evil from true seekers to be His Mat6:33 Rom14:17
truly saved Heb10:39 1Pet1:9 that...

GOD's few, elect, chosen manage, rule, serve in His true institutions
Acts2:42-47; 5:42, not as Jam4:4.

Robert Bristow

Acts2:1..And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

Acts18:21..But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if GOD wills.

Acts20..6 And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of the unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.

7 For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.

1Cor16..7 For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the LORD permit.
8 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.

GOD is perfect love

Part 6

GOD in perfect love offers blessings, love, mercy upon those who wholeheartedly
seek to please Him thru true obedience, true sacrifice, true worship in pure faith.

GOD in love says He is jealous, "showing mercy to those who love Me and keep My commandments" Ex20
and Deut11:27 and Jn14; 15, all His love gospel, totally denied and ignored by the Judas church.

GOD in love says to love Him from the heart Mat22:37, the greatest commandment, but very few
fulfill His word, Rom6:16,17; 7:12,22, very simply, the holy or just "requirement of the law" Rom7:25-8:4.

GOD in love justifies the "doers" Rom2:13 Jam1:22, never mere mouth and few anointed, since very few
truly die to their will to do His will Mat7:21 Lk22:42, so copying Christ Heb5:9; 11:6; 12 1Jn2:6; 3:6,24.

Rom
6

16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin into death, or of obedience into righteousness?
17 But GOD be thanked that you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.

12 Therefore the law holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.
22 For I delight in the law of GOD according to the inward man.
25 I thank GOD - through Jesus Christ our LORD! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of GOD, but with the flesh the law of sin.

...therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, GOD, by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,
4 That the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

Rom
9

...love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.
9 For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not bear false witness," "You shall not covet," and if any other commandment, are summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love (is) the fulfillment of the law.

Gal
3

23 But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed.
24 Therefore the law was our tutor into Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
15 But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!
16 I say then: walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.
18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

Obedience

GOD clearly, simply, from Adam till now, demanded obedience Gen2:2,(3)
Ex20 Deut11:1,26-28 Mat19:17 Jn14; 15 Rom2:13; 3:31; 7:7-12 Jm1:22 Heb5:9
but few obey from the heart Rom6:16-18,19c; 7:22; 8:4 into 14 1Pet4:2,6,19.

GOD clearly, simply declares LOVE is His prime command Mat22:36-40
fulfilling the law Rom13:8-10 Gal5:14 thru Mat5:44 Jn14 level working love
by faith Gal5:6 Jm2 Phil2:12 into agape level Jn15 Rom8 1Cor13
Eph3:17b-19a; 4:13c 1Jn2:5; 4:17.

GOD clearly, simply says obey His voice Heb11:6-8 blindly to prove our love
Deut5:10 Jn14:15 yet merely born again to "obey truth thru Spirit" 1Pet1:22,23,
if diligent 2Pet1:10 into 11,12 proving Greek in 1Jn2:24,27 says "shall abide,"
later.

GOD clearly, simply proves/tests our obedience to love, to faith Job33
Acts14:22 Mk8:37 Lk21:19 Jn8:39 Rom4:16 Jm1:3,4,12; 2:22 Heb10:39 1Pet1:7,9
but few worthy Mt22:8 Lk20:35 to abide Jn15, to be born of Him 1Jn3:9,
to partake of His nature 2Pet1:4, to receive His divine gifts as
promised in Christ 1Cor1:30 2Cor1:20.

GOD clearly, simply commands us to be holy, perfect as Him but very few
believe Him, essential to abide in, enter into Him, as 100% believing and
purity attained thru obeying in love, faith, so Jn14:17,26 1Jn2:3,21,27 level
must Mk9:24 1Thes2:13 Jn6:40; 20:31 till 1Jn2:6; 3:3-6; 5:10.

GOD clearly, simply says Jesus "learned obedience" Heb5:8..."became
obedient unto death" Phil2:8 but very few copy Jesus, resisting sin to blood
Heb12:4, yet in gross disobedience mouth and anointed believers claim
1Jn2:6; 3:6 fulfilling 2Thes2:4,8-12; 1:8,9.

GOD clearly, simply reigns, rules in His servants not satan's sinners,
Rom6:16 "sin to death or obedience to righteousness" only if "free from
sin we become servants to GOD" 6:22 so Jer23:5 Rev2:27 a few from May '88
as King over Jews 2Sam5:5a.

GOD demands we obey

GOD, in Gen-Rev, demands we obey His voice; most believers ignore, happy in sin,
forever lost, bound.

GOD, in N.T., clearly says obey just to be born again, Jn14 1Pet1:22,23 1Jn2:3,27,
yet still bound, apart from Christ, dead.

GOD, in Gen-Rev, clearly says obey as Abraham, Christ, to qualify to be
His children Jn15 1Jn2:6; 3-5, Spirit led to live in Him.

GOD commanded Paul to Jerusalem Acts18:21; again 20:16,22,23, despite suffering
Paul insists 20:24, to obey His voice.

GOD tested Paul Acts21:4,11,12 but Paul obeyed 21:13,14 by working faith
Phil2:12; 3, so justified Gal3; 5:6,18.

GOD, in '83, commanded(3 times) I trust Him; knowing in my spirit I had to obey
to see eternal life Mat19:17 Heb5:9.

GOD, in '83-'85 tested my faith thru church and family rejection, abuse,
beatings, frostbite, prisons, knowing His grace, love, power sustains me.

GOD, from '88, is changing the world,

enabling Acts15:16 thru true repentance

or ceasing all sin.

GOD allowed Yugoslavia and Rwanda as microcosms of current church failure
to obey and teach all His word.

GOD in flesh, Christ, "learned obedience, became perfect" Heb2:10; 5:8,9
to be the perfect Lamb of GOD.

GOD demands we copy Christ Mat5:48 Jn17 Col1:28; 4:12 Jm1:4 1Pet5:10
into His death Rom6 to abide.

GOD afflicts His anointed to correct, prove, purge, try, unite, thru Job Acts14:22
but most fail His grace, love, power.

GOD afflicts, chastens, refines, renews, transforms us into
1Cor1:30; 2; 6:11,19,20; 12:13-27 into 2Cor3:18.

GOD afflicts to qualify, teach us overcoming, partaking, patience,
rejoicing for Him and His glory only.

GOD is perfect love

Part 7

GOD in perfect love desires, offers, tries: to change, to refine, to transform evil man
into His holy, pure nature, the true mission then and now of Christ Mat1:21 Jn1:29.

GOD in love offers freedom from sin or true remission or ceasing of sin Acts10:43 Rom3:25; 6:18,22,
yet most believers are happy in sin, even refusing to admit their wrong, so die as Esau and Judas.

GOD in love reasons with us, never forcing His will, till very few believers copy Lk12:50; 22:42,
a hard process of dying to our Adam nature to partake of His 2Pet1 1Jn3:3-10,24, doing only His will.

GOD in love sent Christ to deliver us from evil, to re-establish our souls that were lost in Gen3 Rom5,
yet very few seek and attain His gift, refusing to comply with Mat16:24-26 Job33 Jam1:12 1Pet1:7,9; 5:10 now.

GOD in love programs our struggles Ps66:8-12 to test our love and faith works 1Cor10:13, but very few
truly qualify Mat16:27 Jn8:39,51 1Cor3:14 Rev2; 3 into Mat22:30 Lk20:36, copying Mat5:44,48 Lk23:34.

GOD in love perfects or sanctifies or transforms His few chosen, elect thru overcoming 1Jn2
satan 1Jn5, as only these may enter into Him Eph4:13c Col1:28; 4:12 Phil3:15, "perfect in one" Jn17:20-23.

GOD in love perfects His body, bride, people or His 3rd part to be His holy temple 1Cor3:16 Eph2,
truly abiding in the light Acts26:18 Col1 1Jn1, but most believers in darkness forever 2Cor4:3,4 2Pet2 Jude.

26 "For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

GOD's truth sets us free

31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.
32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Jn8

19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in GOD." Jn3

a)	we must "live in" or experience His word, so Acts1:8; 9:17 1Cor12:7 1Jn2:24,27; 2:3!

b)	truth, 100% truth frees our soul, our will.. if we obey 1Pet1:22 thru Acts14:22 into Rom6.

c)	we must know the Spirit of truth Jn14:17 thru obeying Jn14:21,23 or do the word Jam1:22.

d)	we must walk 1Jn1:7 into 2:6; 3:6 to truly know Him, and be free to live Jn5:24 1Jn3:14,24.

GOD's truth sanctifies His true church

17 Sanctify them inYour truth. Your word is truth.
18 As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified in the truth.
20 I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word;
21 That they all may be one, as You, Father, in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.
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. Jn17

26 That He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water in the word. Eph5

a)	few are truly sanctified by faith Acts26:18, thru obeying His truth or word till truly abiding in truth 2Pet1:11,12, wherein is true sanctification Jn17:17,19.

b)	few are truly washed by the Spirit 1Cor6:11 Tit3:5 1Jn1:7 thru His living water Jer2:13; 17:13 Jn4:14; 7:37-39 into Jn3:5 to be born of Him 1Cor1:30, sanctified Heb2:11; 10:14,19-22.

c)	few are true saints, sanctified in Christ 1Cor1:2 Eph1:1-14, truly perfect Mat5:48 1Cor2:6 Col1:28 Eph4:13c 1Pet5:10 in His perfect will Rom12:1,2 Col4:12, fulfilling Jn3:21.

d)	few are of the truth Jn18:37, truly His Jn4:22-24; 10:27,28 truly one 1Cor12:12-28a Eph2:10-22; 5 Heb3:6-4:11; 12:22,23, truly sanctified Eph4:15-24 Col1:18-2:14 1Thes5:23 Rev20:6.

Sin free, Law of Text

GOD in flesh, Christ Jesus, bore our sin (the cross) Jn19:17, His prime mission,
to save His own only Zech13:9 Mat1:21 thru obeying "sin no more" Jn5:14; 8:11
rarely believed Jn3:16,36 so few saved.

GOD's grace, love, power works in Jn14 level for fire baptism, circumcision,
remission, repentance thru blind obedience, copying Christ, till...
as Him 1Jn1:7; 2:6, in Him 1Jn1:5; 2:5; 3:6, of Him 1Jn3:9; 5:4,18-20.

GOD alone has authority to aphesis or free us from past sin Acts2:38, 10:43
(Rom3:25; 6:18,22; 7:14 into 24,25; 8:1-4) His meaning, word in Mk3:29
Acts5:31; 13:38; 26:18 Eph1:7 Col1:14 but mistranslated by confused man,
ignored law of text.

GOD and His Jn15 level only have authority to aphiemi our sin Mat6:12-15 Jn20:23
if His conditions are met.

GOD's clear, inerrant word adheres to His strict law of text yet man has
confused simple apeitheia(eo, es) to change disobey into apisteo(ia, os)
disbelieve...as seen below.

GOD used(es) apeitheia, etc. in Eph2:2; 5:6 Col3:6 Rom2:8 1Pet2:7,8; 3:1,20; 4:17
Lk1:17 Rom1:30 2Tim3:2 Tit1:16; 3:3 correctly taught and translated in KJV,
a hard message to all believers, so most 2Thes1:8,9.

GOD used(es) apeitheia, etc. in Jn3:36 Acts14:2; 17:5; 19:9 Rom11:30,32; 15:31
Heb3:18; 4:6,11; 11:31 mistaught and mistranslated, so grossly changes
His message, truth, that all believers to obey Him Mat19:17 Heb5:9.

GOD clearly demands obedience or wrath, His word is forever, He cannot lie 1Pet1:25.

GOD delivers a few

GOD in Gal1:4 says "He might deliver," no guarantee as satan teaches
(Stowell Mar'95) leading believers into a false security.

GOD in Gal1:4 says "deliver...from...evil," as Mat1:21, but satan teaches
it's impossible to cease, stop active, willful sin, so most believers never soul saved.

GOD's truth is simple to a few: He can and will deliver if we diligently believe and obey,
but most reject His offer as did Esau.

GOD's work from May '88 thru Bible based CCCInc. will network all
Christ-centered churches, companies, hospitals, schools and more.

GOD will qualify all participating thru annual tests; Jesus ruling,
judging His institutions globally to fulfill His promises NOW!

GOD will effect a true repeat of Acts2:42-47; 5:42; 26:18 with His dictated Bible studies,
growing babes to children to young men to fathers 1Jn.

GOD grows our belief/faith thru obedience: most obey not, so never grow in belief/faith,
proving Rom2:13; 3:31; 7:12 Jm1:22; 2.

GOD's family: mouth belief of mere basic facts, anointed believing into Him,
holy as/in/of Him; so only latter 3rd His own, righteous, saints, true Jews.

GOD has billions at 1Cor12:3, some at Jn14 1Cor12:7, but a handful at Jn15 1Cor12:13,
proving Jer23 Mat23 is the current church failing to obey His word.

GOD is 2Sam5:5 Acts15:16 Heb8:2; 12:22-24 to fulfil Eph5:26,27
then Is10 Ps1:5 1Pet4:18 Rev3:9 2Thes1:8-10 as no disobedience(sin) abides in Him.

15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into Him into all things, which is the head, Christ. Eph4

24 Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from
the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.
27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone
teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true,
and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him. 1Jn2

TILL

6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked. 1Jn2

6a Whoever abides in Him does not sin. 1Jn3

16 That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all the saints what the width and length and depth and height -
19 To know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of GOD.

13 Till we all come to the unity of the faith,.. and of the knowledge of the Son of GOD,.. to a perfect man,.. to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; Eph3,4

2 A Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the LORD erected, and not man.

3 And behind the second veil, the part of the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of All,
4 Which had the golden censer and the ark of the covenant.

19 Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,
20 By a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, His flesh,
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Heb8,9,10

GOD grows His church: from babes to children,
from children to young men or holy in Christ,
then a handful into His image Rom8:29 1Cor4:15.

GOD's 3rd part Zech13:9 is His grain, seed, holy,
Rom12:1 Phil3 1Pet2:5,9 1Cor1:30 1Jn3:6,
His true temple 1Cor3:16,17; 6 Eph2; 4:24; 5:27 now.

GOD's covenant or heavenly promise is in Christ,
if we continue to be sealed 2Cor1:20-22; 3:6; 5:5,
if we copy Abraham Rom4:12,16 Gal3 Jam1:12 now.

GOD's Holiest is thru His fire, His blood 1Jn1:7,
His water Jn3:5 Ps66:8-12 Rom6 Tit3:5 1Pet3:21,
all a Job33 experience and a work of obedient faith.
