  • The New Testament And How It Was Written

    The New Testament And How It Was Written

    Witnessing: What was seen, heard, experienced, or researched. This covers historical, personal, community, and legal documentation.  

    Revelation: Truth given by God that humans could not arrive at by observation alone.  

    Direct speech (“The word of the LORD came…”). Visions and dreams, and inspired interpretation of events.  

    “Channeling”: Is today’s modern word. Channeling is use to mean conscious or semi-conscious reception of spiritual information, which then passes through the person’s own language, concepts, and understanding.

    Biblical terms used are; inspiration/inspired, utterance, revelation, prophecy/prophesying, vision, oracle. “The Word of the Lord came unto…..”. Moved by the Spirit, and communion.

    Biblical writers wouldn’t say “I channeled a message”, they would say, “The word of the LORD came unto me…”  “Thus says the LORD…”  “I was in the Spirit…”  “I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you…”

    The New Testament, the Gospels and Acts, are eyewitness memory and direct revelation.

    The healing stories, teachings, crucifixion, resurrection appearances, travels of the apostles, are eyewitness memory. Authors who are spiritually interpreting what they saw.

    The words of Jesus are witnessed events, and Jesus being a Divine Source. The Disciples heard Jesus speak. They later recalled, repeated, taught, and eventually wrote those words so the recording is witness-based and memory-based, not “channeled” dictation.

    Jesus claims His teachings are not self derived opinions but come directly from the Father:

    “My teaching is not mine, but His who sent Me.” “I speak just what the Father has taught Me.” “The words that I speak unto you I speak not of Myself.”

    When you focus on the words of Jesus, you’re focusing on the only place in Scripture where God speaks directly. Where the “vessel” is not a prophet interpreting. Where the filter is not a human consciousness trying to translate revelation. The message is not by way of visions, dreams, or symbolic language. Accuracy is from multiple eyewitness. Jesus is not channeling God. Jesus is God speaking through a human mouth.

    Biblical writers are doing one of two things. Reporting what they saw, or reporting what they received by prophecy, vision or inspiration. But Jesus is doing something entirely different. Jesus is revealing what He knows because He is one with the Father. That is why the red letters are more accurate than any other biblical voice.

    Jesus says: “My words shall not pass away.” “The words I speak are spirit and life.” “I speak only what the Father has given Me.” “He who has seen Me has seen the Father.”

    Jesus gives life, but man builds systems around the life. Jesus is direct, unfiltered, and divine truth. Apostles, theologians, churches are interpretations and human attempts to explain or expand on what Jesus said. Interpretation is commentary and not the foundation of the Red Letters. If salvation is defined by anyone other than Jesus, it becomes distorted by human depth, human limitation, and human complexity. But when salvation is defined by Jesus Himself, it remains simple and universal. It is rooted in love. Jesus simplified salvation, and man complicated it.”

    The red letters contain the full simplicity of salvation. A direct path spoken by the God Himself. Everything added afterward is interpretation, not foundation. The teachings of Jesus on how to live are complete.

  • The Word Is Life

    The Word Is Life

    John 1:1-4 

    In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 

    Jesus states;

    John 6:63 

    It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

    1John 1:1 

    That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; 

    Words that are to be manifested into actions. The Word of life that can be heard, seen, and touched. Living the examples.

    1John 2:5-6 

    But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. 

    Jer 31:33 

    But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. 

    God speaks of putting His “Word” or “Law” in people’s minds and writing it on their hearts. This implies that living the Word becomes an internal reality for the soul.

    The Word is Life as it is the essence and source of life. The idea that a soul living for an eternity would undoubtedly live the examples put forth from the Word is the concept of sanctification and glorification.

    If the “Word” is the blueprint for life, and a soul is granted “Life” (eternal existence) through that Word, then the two become inseparable. In that state, the soul isn’t just observing the examples, it is becoming the manifestation of them.

    The premise that the Word is the literal substance of life, and the soul is the vessel that experiences that life eternally, then the soul becomes a participant in the Word’s entirety.

    The transition from “knowing” to “being.”

    If the Word is the source of all existence (John 1:3), an eternal soul cannot exist “outside” of it. To live eternally is to be sustained by the Word, meaning every facet of the soul’s existence eventually aligns with every facet of the Word.

    The soul as a “living letter.”

    2Co 3:3 

    Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. 

    Because eternity has no end, the soul has the “time” to experience and manifest every dimension of the Word. From its justice and law to God’s grace.

    Since the Word is infinite and the soul’s life is eternal, then the soul essentially moves through an endless unfolding of the Word’s nature. It wouldn’t just be a general experience, but a comprehensive one where no part of the “Life” contained in the Word remains untouched or unlived by the soul.

    The Bible states humankind was created in the “Image of God.” Therefore, the soul’s journey is a return to that original state. Living every part of the Word is the process of the soul being restored mirroring the image of God.

    Heb 5:13 

    For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 

    Eph 4:7 

    But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 

    1Co 3:13 

    Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 

    Infinite education and a process of becoming what the Word speaks. Because the soul is on a progressive path through the Word, then judging someone else is essentially judging where they happen to be on a timeline that you are also traveling. So judgment is not logical or with any consistency.

    You could say it is different chapters from the same book. If the Word is “Life” and everyone must live every part of it, one person might be living through a chapter of trials and refining while another is in a chapter of grace and peace.

    Judging someone in a trial would be like criticizing a character on page 50 for not knowing what happens on page 200.

    Mat 7:4 

    Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 

    Judgment isn’t just “wrong”, it’s impossible. You cannot judge a process that is eternal and still in a progressive motion. The only logical response to another soul is by empathy. Souls are simply living their own path from same infinite Word.

    While the Word is the same for everyone, the order in which a soul experiences those parts might be unique. One soul may learn “patience” through suffering early on, while another learns it through long suffering later. A snapshot of a soul at any given moment doesn’t reveal its total path.

    When you view the soul’s journey as an inevitable progressive unfolding of the Word, judgment simply disappears. If the soul is destined to live every part of that Life, then every struggle or failure we see in ourselves or others is just a passage being worked through, not a final destination.

  • Understanding The Jesus Perspective

    Understanding The Jesus Perspective

    Are you true to yourselves? Remember that willingness because you are experiencing a physical reality that needs more than words. It needs your actions. It is your actions that is the language of physical reality and in taking the actions that are aligned with your passion.

    James 1:22 

    But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 

    The message from your soul about who you are, that through your actions is how you actually respond to the soul and say, I heard you. I am demonstrating that I heard you. And therefore the soul can say I will send you more opportunities to act on your passion.

    To be the living example that you can be so that others can see through you themselves more clearly as well.

    Because what are we? This is an important question to answer. And the answer is, I am you from another point of view and you are me from another point of view, that is what we are.

    James 2:1 

    My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. 

    Ponder that I am you from another point of view. This is the beginning of dialogue, of understanding of relationship. Of peaceful communication and coexistence.

    I am you from another point of view. What does your point of view have to teach me about who I am and who we are together, and what is the true core of the dialogue.

    We need to have that which can create peace upon this world and harmony within our hearts.

    Begin with that understanding in every dialogue and every connection in every relationship in every communication that you have with anyone and anything, I am you from another point of view, you are me from another point of view.

    What is the reason for the difference in the point of view? What is the true, deep-seated reason why the points of view are different. Let’s find out what the core desire truly is with the core need truly is, because when you remove all of the surface division, you will usually find that at the core, everyone truly desires the same thing to be loved to be heard, to be counted, to belong. You all have the same reason for the many divisions that exist.

    Validate the differences by finding out what is truly common. Beneath those differences, and respect the differences as a new way of looking at something that you may not have considered.

    Php 2:2 

    Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 

    Open up to the idea that everyone is doing their best, whether they know how to do it more positively or negatively, and that by those that demonstrate the idea of what you may perceive to be great negativity are showing you in no uncertain terms very clearly, what it is you actually prefer by contrast, because when the greatest Darkness presents itself, it’s much easier by contrast, to see where the light is.

    So, use it to your advantage. Instead of creating more strife, more stress, more angst, use it in a positive way. To find the light, to be the light, to reflect the light, to show the light, so that you can illuminate the path more clearly for everyone.

    Rom 2:11 

    For there is no respect of persons with God. 

    NOTE: Respect from the Greek Concordance;

    G4382 προσωποληψία From G4381; partiality, that is, favoritism: – respect of persons.

    God shows no favoritism of persons. (also the above verse – James 1:22)

    John 8:12 

    Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. 

    Whether they choose to follow that light or not, it’s up to them. But at least you have lit the lamp and given them the opportunity. That’s all you need to do. Ignite The light.

  • Be Like Jesus?

    Be Like Jesus?

    Jesus came to fulfill the law and to become the example of how humankind should think and act. Doing so, a soul becomes perfect just as scriptures state.

    1John 2:5  But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

    Mat 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. 

    (See Also; Luke 6:40, 2Co 7:1, 2Co 13:11, Php 3:12-15, Col 1:28, Col 4:12, James 1:4) For Be Ye Perfect.

    Are we walking “even as he walked?”

    *******************

    John 5:19-20  Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. 

    John 5:30-31  I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. 

    (See Also; John 8:28, John 14:10)

    Now Christ states he can do nothing from himself. The same applies to humankind as scriptures state.

    ********************

    Christ himself admitted that there is only one good, God.

    Mat 19:16-17  And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 

    Mark 10:18  And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. 

    Jesus experienced life as a man and lived as a man experiencing life as a flesh soul.

    ********************

    This gets more interesting. Did Jesus Sin?

    Mat 21:12  And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,  (See Also; Mark 11:15, Luke 19:45-46, John 2:14-17)

    Was Christ any different from humankind other then the fulfilling of the law, the salvation through our Lord on the cross, as well as teaching to His souls? His life on earth is to show by example and teach how humankind is to think and live.

    ********************

    Mat 27:46  And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

    (See Also; Mark 15:34) 

    When we look at the Greek text for forsaken;

    Foresaken; G1459 ἐγκαταλείπω From G1722 and G2641; to leave behind in some place, that is, (in a good sense) let remain over, or (in a bad one) to desert.

    Jesus in the flesh thinking that his father is leaving him behind or being forsaken? Just as it is for humankind, it is the same for Christ. Think about it. It most likely rings a bell.

    If Jesus had full knowledge, why would he think God had forsaken him? Let us assume for the moment that whatever “mind blockage” takes place in the birth of the flesh, an “interference” if you will, is obivous. Limited access to your created spiritual self where the Word was instilled in your spirit at creation.

    ********************

    Luke 22:39-44  And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

    An angel appeared unto Christ to strengthen him? Christ in agony? Prayed more earnestly? Why?

    Interesting the “take away this cup from me” part of the verse. When we look at these next two verses to try to understand what Jesus is really saying.

    Mark 10:38-40  But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized: But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared. 

    Mark 14:36  And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt. 

    What is Jesus saying in Mark and wanting removed by God……His baptism?

    ********************

    Humankind is in the same realm of our Lord.

    Mat 21:21  Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. 

    “Be thou removed” in the Greek;

    G142 αἴρω A primary verb; to lift; by implication to take up or away; figuratively to raise (the voice), keep in suspense (the mind); specifically to sail away (that is, weigh anchor); by Hebraism (compare [H5375]) to expiate sin.

    Expiate is to make amends or atone for a wrong you or someone else has committed.

    The analogy is in the mountain being the amount of evil-sin that humankind seems to be an overwhelming negativity, but yet through the power of faith, no amount of evil-sin or to any degree of evil-sin can overcome goodness. Humankind has the power through Christ to overcome and remove all evils-sins by faith.

  • Understanding Leaven Bread

    Understanding Leaven Bread

    Mat 13:33  Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. 

    (See also; Luke 13:21)

    1Co 5:6-8  Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 

    English definition for leaven;

    Leaven is a substance that causes fermentation and expansion of dough or batter that is an element that produces and altering or transforming influence. A chemical breakdown.

    Leaven from the Greek;

    G2219 ζύμη Probably from G2204; ferment (as if boiling up): – leaven. G2204 ζέω A primary verb; to be hot (boil, of liquids; or glow, of solids), that is, (figuratively) be fervid (earnest): – be fervent.

    John 6:32-35  Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. 

    That bread is our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Mat 6:11  Give us this day our daily bread.

    “A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump,” is to rise by way of following truths, love, eliminating repetitive evils as leaven is “like” the kingdom of heaven and heaven is the balance of goodnesses and shuns evils according to how a soul chooses to live.

    “Purge out the old leaven,” meaning a soul should not be complacent-stagnent in their growth in their relationship with God. Love, faith, trust, understanding, wisdom, knowledge, and obedience.

    Gal 5:9  A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. (See Also; Luke 13:21)

    “Till the whole was leavened,” (The kingdom of heaven being complete within a soul.)

    Mat 16:5-12  And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread. Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread? Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. 

    Mat 5:20  For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. 

    Scribes and Pharisees in the Greek; Scribes being writers, and interestingly Pharisees being separatists, exclusively religious, literally to disperse or wound.

    Bread in the Greek;

    G740 ἄρτος From G142; bread (as raised) or a loaf: – (shew-) bread, loaf. G142 αἴρω A primary verb; to lift; by implication to take up or away; figuratively to raise (the voice), keep in suspense (the mind); specifically to sail away (that is, weigh anchor); by Hebraism (compare [H5375]) to expiate sin.

    To expiate sin meaning to atone-make reparations for guilt or sin. In this case, Jesus being the bread is the power of taking away the sins of the world.

    Summarizing;
    The kingdom of heaven being “like leaven” can be understood as being the “process” leading to a heavenly life and that life is the “bread” Jesus Christ as He works through you in accordance to your loves and progression becoming complete within the kingdom.

  • A God Of Good And Evil? What About Jesus?

    A God Of Good And Evil? What About Jesus?

    Is God a God of good and evil? Is God a God of duality, polarity, negativity, separation, or contrast? What about Jesus?

    Mat 29:17

    And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

    Mat 21:12

    And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

    Clearly these two examples show that Jesus was born into a flesh body and lived as a man born into polarity as well as all created souls.  

    Mark 14:38 

    Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak. 

    Luke 22:41-44

    And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. 

    Cup from the Greek;

    G4221 ποτήριον Neuter of a derivative of the alternate of G4095; a drinking vessel; by extension the contents thereof, that is, a cupful (draught); figuratively a lot or fate: – cup.

    Jesus was asking his father to remove this cup. Jesus wanted his father to remove the “fate” he was about to experience. An angel had to come down from heaven and strengthen him.

    Mark 15:34

    And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

    Mainstream beliefs are that Jesus didn’t sin. Polarity, duality, is exclusive to the flesh experience.

    Jesus is admitting he was not perfect.  He set the example for creation to follow being born a man like any other man. What would be the point other then through Jesus, souls have salvation because humankind can not attain salvation through themselves. Jesus being the “The Way”. Eternal life is living as a Jesus, and through Jesus living his precepts.

    To what end would be his teachings in the proper ways of life if he is allowed to “cheat”?

    Jesus shows by example with all souls working off the same platform as Jesus. Or Jesus is working off the same platform as all formed flesh.

    God is love and life itself as stated in 1John 4:8. God does not represent or execute contrast, opposition, separation, negativity, polarity or duality.

  • The Man Jesus

    The Man Jesus

    Condemn the sin, not the sinner

    Verse about Jesus being forsaken

    Mat 27:46  And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 

    Mark 14:34  And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch. 

    Sorrowful from the Greek is;

    Grieved all around, that is intensely sad; exceeding (very) sorry.

    Luke 6:40  The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. 

    John 15:20  Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

    Luke 6:37-40  Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.  


    Lived as a man, not understanding, but knowing what his purpose was
    The powers Christ had, all souls have provided they gave the faith. Ie move mountains

    Jesus sinning? If the flesh is corrupt
    The but……thing doesn’t fly

    Mustard seed faith

    Mat 17:20  And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. 

    Mat 21:21  Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. 

    Jer 31:34  And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

    Judgement verses concerning Christ and God

    Judging ones Self is understanding and learning from the errors and mistakes and not to be in repetition.

    John 8:10-11  When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. 

    Condemn from the Greek; G2632 κατακρίνω From G2596 and G2919; to judge against, that is, sentence: – condemn, damn. G2919 κρίνω Properly to distinguish, that is, decide (mentally or judicially); by implication to try, condemn, punish: – avenge, conclude, condemn, damn, decree, determine, esteem, judge, go to (sue at the) law, ordain, call in question, sentence to, think.

    Mark 6:46  And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.

    Luke 6:12  And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. 

  • The Account Of Peter

    The Account Of Peter:

    The Church Is Established Under Peter.

    Mat 16:18-19  And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 

    Jesus establishes the church upon the rock of Peter. Also giving him the keys of the kingdom of heaven.

    Peters Faith.

    Mat 14:27-31  But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

    Now we have Jesus asking Peter why he doubted and has little faith.

    Peters Denial.

    Mat 26:33-35  Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended. Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples. 

    John 18:15-18  And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest. But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter. Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man’s disciples? He saith, I am not. And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself. 

    Now Peter is denying he is one of the Lord’s disciples!

    Jesus calling Peter a Satan.

    Mat 16:21-23  From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. 

    Peter is a Satan?

    Peter sleeping; Representing the lack of awareness that leads into temptation.

    Mat 26:36-45  Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 

    Peters Nakedness.

    John 21:1-4  After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself. There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing. But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. 

    John 21:7  Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher’s coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea. 

    What is the spiritual meaning behind Peters nakedness mean to you? He was naked in front of others until he learned it was Jesus standing on the shore.

    What is meant by him casting his self into the sea?

    Peter And The Sword.

    John 18:10-11  Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus. Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it? 

    (See Also; Mat 26:51-52, Mark 14:47)

    Jesus explaining what Peter must do.

    John 21:15-19  So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me. 

    Lambs are indicative of babies in Christ. The teachings and learning of salvation and baptism. Lambs being of full age, are living by example sharing wisdom and knowledge from their perspective to aid in the growth towards a life of more goodness then iniquity.

    Are you a Peter? Are you a lamb or a sheep? Are you a disciple of Christ?

    Following Jesus is no more than living by his teachings. The two greatest commandments. Set by example.

    The church established by Jesus through Peter. Then Jesus states; Peters faith has been doubted. Peter denies being a disciple of Jesus. Jesus calls Peter a Satan. Peter is caught sleeping and prone to temptation. Then Peter wacks off an ear of a high priest!

    And finally, Jesus had to explain what Peter must do in his ministry.

  • Jesus Teaches

    Jesus Teaches

    Jesus is just as much a representation of love as Satan is just as much a representation of evil. Love is life, evil is death. Its that simple.

    Why does humankind have such a problem with following Jesus and His teachings of love?

    It is not “what will Jesus do”. It is what will you do as Jesus did and taught.


    Why does humankind think that Jesus’s practices limited to Jesus only? Humankind has the same equality in what the flesh can do as Christ did through our Father God.

    Humankind has no problem following the practices of Satan. Your true spiritual self (soul) is from pure love, and is pure love. The purpose of the flesh is to make decisions and experiences wanting to live in love or live in death. That is freewill.

    Jesus had faith greater than a grain of a mustard seed. He is telling humankind they can do what He did through this flesh as well. His representation of how it can be done through the flesh showing humankind what they can do through the flesh.

    The flesh self should tie their faith and trust in God, and their love for their neighbor as Jesus did and taught.

    Mat 17:20  And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. 

    (See Also; Mat 21:21, Mark 11:23, Luke 17:6, 1Co 12:9, 1Co 13:2)

    Mark 9:23  Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. 

    Luke 1:37  For with God nothing shall be impossible. 

    (See Also; Mat 19:26, Mark 9:23, 10:27, 14:36, 18:27)

    If nothing is impossible, then all things are possible.

    Luke 16:17  And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. 

    That faith includes no judgement because God has total control of every tittle in all of Creation.

  • The Word

    The Word

    John 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

    Word, from the Greek original text is Logos;

    G3056 λόγος logos From G3004; something said (including the thought); by implication a topic (subject of discourse), also reasoning (the mental faculty) or motive; by extension a computation; specifically (with the article in John) the Divine Expression (that is, Christ). G3004 λέγω A primary verb; properly to “lay” forth, that is, (figuratively) relate (in words usually of systematic or set discourse.

    Humankind was created and formed into the flesh with the Word already in them. With Christ, the Word became flesh.

    John 1:13-14  Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. 

    Luke 8:12  Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

    If “Satan” taketh away the word out of their hearts, then we can assume that the Word was in your heart prior to you choosing to taketh away by way of sin-evils.

    The Word is spiritual in us. The Word can never be removed from a soul, only a separation or distance through sin-evil. Again, eternity and truth never changes. The Word will never change or leave a soul.

    Christ, being the manifestation of the Word, is our example of how the Word lives through the flesh. He came to save the sinners. We are the sinners and yet we condemn others because of the lack of our understanding of the Word and the example set by Christ. By condemn others, we condemn ourselves.

    John 17:23  I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

    Judging (the lack of), understanding (others), faith, trust, (who knows better than the Creator), and practicing of love in your life is that perfection.

    Mat 18:11  For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
