CHAPTER 17 (8 of 10)

OBEDIENCE, BEING ONE WITH GOD

-

The whole duty of man is to obey God, to humble ourselves (as Jesus did, Phil. 2:8), submitting, to walk in full obedience to our Father, so to have fellowship in the light, as He is in the light, which the Lord desires for us. God's desire for our fellowship though, is not as great as His desire for our joy, which He intended for us to continually experience, before we sinned in Adam. One of the most obvious reasons, why our Father wants us to have a continual abundance of joy, and desires our uninterrupted fellowship, is LOVE.

-

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil.  (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14)

-

Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 2 Corinthians 5:9-10)

-

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)

-

Another truth that the Lord has shown me about obedience is the need for a perfectly renewed mind, the one in our skull. Enough emphasis cannot be put on a child of God, having the need for a perfectly renewed mind; basically because, according to the scriptures, without a renewed mind, we are hindered from obeying what is God's good, acceptable, and perfect will. Without a daily renewed mind, the one in our skull, it will be utterly difficult, if not altogether impossible, to overcome the sinful and carnal tendencies, desires, and habits of the sinful nature that still resides in our flesh. If you haven't been regularly praying for a perfectly renewed mind, now is a good time to start. We must make the daily resolve to improve the way we think with our physical mind; to think godly thoughts not wicked ones, daily reading and study of the Bible also goes a long way to help.

-

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service, and be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:12

**** F A I T H F U L   A N D   T R U E   W I T N E S S ****  

-

These things saith the amen, the faithful and true witness, The Beginning of the creation of God. I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing, and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire that be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, thou mayest and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear and anoint thine eyes with eye salve that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke, and chasten: Be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: If any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. (Revelation 3:14b-20)

-

But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.  (John 1:7)

-

Then said He unto them, therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old. (Matthew 13:52)

My Facebook Timeline - www.facebook.com/samuelsiders1 - contains responses I have posted in answer to those who God has had me to share with for over seventeen years on Facebook Forums created to share the Scriptures. My activity about sharing the Word of God with Muslims, other false Cults, and with those who profess to be Christian continues; this open door that the Lord has made available to me as an Apologist/Teacher is one where worldwide opportunities are made available to all English speaking people around the world from many different countries, races, and religious beliefs.

It is WRITTEN in 1 Peter 3:15 … “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks you of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:" God wants us to know AND understand His Word (2 Timothy 2:15), “Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” Jude 3, “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend [Gr. agonize with fervent zeal] for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.”

This past week I had a man name Don who is a Unitarian ask who is the "Spirit of a third person," when I informed him who the Spirit of the third person is he Refused to believe the Biblical Facts that Jesus’ personal spirit and soul is the Spirit of the third person.

-

As a result, multiple responses about who Jesus’ spirit and soul is in relationship to His Father Almighty God and God’s personal Spirit the Holy Spirit, Don started asking all kinds of theological and Christological questions to find out which one I believe, when I told Him – None – of them but Biblical Trinity Theology, and provided for him a few of the Biblical scriptural evidences that supports Trinity Theology – is – taught IN the Bible, and that the Father Almighty God, His Holy Spirit, and the spirit and soul of Jesus, All Three, dwelt IN Jesus’ physical body together. Don accused me of being Mixed Up and Confused, when he was constantly proving HE is both not me.

-

After many Circular responses it was quite obvious to me Don had – Zero – ability to comprehend everything taught about the Father Son and Holy Spirit in the Bible, and their Substance relationship to each other, which supports Trinity Theology. Don kept repeating Unitarian Bible references, and purposefully chose to ignore the Trinitarian Bible references that Prove he was Misusing and Misinterpreting the Unitarian references, ignoring the Trinitarian references.

-

What follows is the first response I posted for Don and the last one I posted this past week letting him know since He cannot Understand what I was telling him the Bible teaches to go to a different topic, which at the time of this Blog he Refuses to do so to keep going Uselessly Circular:

=

Don C ... not exactly understanding what you are asking; Jesus taught Almighty God is a Spirit John 4:24, and that Almighty God has a Spirit of His own (Holy Spirit) Matthew 10:20 John 14:26, and Jesus stating He has a spirit (Luke 23:46) His is the "Spirit of a third person" you are asking about.

=

Don C ... You continuing the Circular misuse and misinterpreting of the references in your response is - Not - going to change - what I - thoroughly and unequivocally - Know and Understand for myself - is BIBLICAL Fact about the Father Son and Holy Spirit to agree with Your Unitarian, Arius, Muslim theological Deceptions and Blasphemy against the True Depth of who All three are. Again: "Either go to a Different topic or Stop tagging me."
