  • The Holy Spirit

    The Holy Spirit

    Psalms 33:6  By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

    1Peter 1:2  Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. 

    The sanctification of the Spirit is a soul is a having the foreknowledge of the Word. The sanctification of the Spirit is the fulfillment living in obedience.

    Luke 11:13  If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? 

    Holy in the Greek;

    G40 ἅγιος From ἅγος hagos (an awful thing) compare G53, [H2282]; sacred (physically pure, morally blameless or religious, ceremonially consecrated): saint.

    Spirit in the Greek;

    G4151 πνεῦμα From G4154; a current of air, that is, breath (blast) or a breeze; by analogy or figuratively a spirit, that is, (human) the rational soul, (by implication) vital principle, mental disposition, etc., or (superhuman) an angel, daemon, or (divine) God, Christ’s spirit, the Holy spirit. Compare G5590.

    Note; Ghost in the Greek has the same definition as Spirit.

    John 7:39  (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) 

    That breath is the same breath found in the word spirit. Spirit in the Hebrews:

    H5397 נְשָׁמָה From H5395; a puff, that is, wind, angry or vital breath, divine inspiration, intellect or (concretely) an animal: – blast, (that) breath (-eth), inspiration, soul, spirit.

    Psa 51:11  Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 

    (See Also; Isa 63:11, Dan 4:8-9, Dan 4:18, Dan 5:11)

    David said he had the holy spirit. This is prior to Jesus born into the flesh. The Word was instilled into your spirit at creation. David knew the Word was within him, and knowing God, the path of salvation is by way of the Holy Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit, the Word is hidden within.

    Looking at Holy in the Hebrew from Psalms 51:11:

    H6944 קֹדֶשׁ From H6942; a sacred place or thing; rarely abstractly sanctity: – consecrated (thing), saint, sanctuary. H6942 קָדַשׁ A primitive root; to be (causatively make, pronounce or observe as) clean (ceremonially or morally).

    Spirit in the Hebrew:

    H7307 רוּחַ From H7306; wind; by resemblance breath, that is, a sensible (or even violent) exhalation; figuratively life, anger, unsubstantiality; by extension a region of the sky; by resemblance spirit, but only of a rational being (including its expression and functions). H7306 רוּחַ A primitive root; properly to blow, that is, breathe; only (literally) to smell or (by implication perceive (figuratively to anticipate, enjoy), make of quick understanding.

    1Peter 1:2 foreknowledge of God. Foreknowledge is the Word.

    Eph 4:30  And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 

    Rom 8:11  But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 

    Mat 22:37  Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 

    Soul in the Greek;

    G5590 ψυχή From G5594; breath, that is, (by implication) spirit, abstractly or concretely (the animal sentient principle only; thus distinguished on the one hand from G4151, which is the rational and immortal soul; and on the other from G2222, which is mere vitality, even of plants: these terms thus exactly correspond respectively to the Hebrew [H5315], [H7307] and [H2416].

    Gen 2:7  And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

    What is the breathe of life?

    John 20:22  And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost

    Breathed in the Greek;

    G1720 ἐμφυσάω From G1722 and φυσάω phusaō (to puff; compare G5453); to blow at or on: – breathe on. G1722 ἐν A primary preposition denoting (fixed) position (in place, time or state), and (by implication) instrumentality (medially or constructively), that is, a relation of rest (intermediate between G1519 and G1537)

    Breath in Hebrew:

    H5397 נְשָׁמָה From H5395; a puff, that is, wind, angry or vital breath, divine inspiration, intellect or (concretely) an animal: – blast, (that) breath (-eth), inspiration, soul, spirit. H5395 נָשַׁם A primitive root; properly to blow away, that is, destroy: – destroy.

    Life in the Greek; H2416 חַי From H2421; alive; hence raw (flesh); fresh (plant, water, year), strong; also (as noun, especially in the feminine singular and masculine plural) life (or living thing), whether literally or figuratively. H2421 חָיָה A prim root (compare H2331, H2424); to live, whether literally or figuratively; causatively to revive: be whole.

    John 14:15-20  If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. 

    Holy Ghost is the comforter in John 14:16-20 and John 14:26.

    Comforter = intercessor, consoler, advocate.

    John 7:39  (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) 

    Glorified in the Greek:

    G1392 δοξάζω From G1391; to render (or esteem) glorious (in a wide application): – (make) glorify (-ious), full of (have) glory, honour, magnify. G1391 δόξα From the base of G1380; glory (as very apparent), in a wide application (literally or figuratively, objectively or subjectively): – dignity, honour, praise, worship. G1380 δοκέω A prolonged form of a primary verb (used only as an alternate in certain tenses; compare the base of G1166); of the same meaning; to think; by implication to seem (truthfully or uncertainly): – be accounted.

    Psalms 18:15  Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

    Breath in the Hebrew: H7307 רוּחַ From H7306; wind; by resemblance breath, that is, a sensible (or even violent) exhalation; figuratively life, anger, unsubstantiality; by extension a region of the sky; by resemblance spirit, but only of a rational being (including its expression and functions).

  • The God Factor

    The God Factor

    To understand the true relationship that a soul has with God and His purpose of Creation, aligning with the Word, because the Word IS God, and the Word is alive.

    1) The consciousness of God is total existence of Creation, and all of life is Him.

    John 1:4  In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

    NOTE: Consciousness from the Greek is a co-perception and is a union to see completely.

    2) God lives in all of life and breathes through all of His Creation, and Creation lives and breathes through God.

    Acts 17:25  Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

    3) The total make-up of life consists of nothing but love for everything.

    John 15:13  Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

    4) Sin from the Greek: Evil-Sin is no more than making a mistake, to err, to miss the mark (and so not share in the prize).

    1Co 9:24  Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 

    5) “I am” is all of Creation, all God, and it is “finished.”

    Rev 22:13  I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

    Gen 2:1  Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

    1Co 8:12  But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.

  • The Flesh Self

    The Flesh Self

    Emotions, feelings, ego, and fear are the creation of the flesh and are lived through the flesh mind, having awareness through consciousness.

    Thus creating the appearance of separation from God and your neighbor. Creation itself is One.
    Living from the “me first, or me only mindset”, is lacking the trust in God and living from oneself, not from your spiritual self.

    The purpose of life-lives in a flesh existence is to experience all of the above, and overcome those challenges.

    From your spiritual self, all you have is the knowledge of those flesh perspectives. Like when you see a roller coaster, imagine what it is like to ride on it, but without employing it through those physical senses, there is no real understanding or reality unless it is experienced.
    Nothing learned.

    The purpose is to have flesh life experiences. Overcome the shortcomings from the flesh senses. Judgement from your higher self; yes judgement from yourself, the God in you. Enabling the soul to overcome the shortcomings of the flesh life.

    This also includes how you experience and understand your sin-evils which are no more than negativities throughout your experiences.
    Negativity has purpose, and your true spirit has that understanding, the flesh does not.

    John 15:19
    If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

    Life is religion, life is worship and reverence to our Lord. Overcoming the flesh is living a life with and in love with Creation. Always a work in progress that is growing closer to heaven (within). The eternal life-lives of the soul.

  • Spiritual Wisdom

    Spiritual Wisdom

    1Co 2:6-16 

    Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory

    Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 

    But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 

    Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual

    But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 

    But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. 

    Perfection, which is your true self as scriptures show, having the spirit of God within, is able to compare spiritual truths from that wisdom and see those truths work within the world and understands them. This is hidden wisdom which can only be seen from the inner spiritual self.

    Spiritually discerned from the Greek is to distinguish, to decide mentally, investigating, scrutinizing, to determine from your spiritual self in the understanding-perception of the world.

  • Spiritual Being

    Spiritual Being

    You are a spiritual being in a flesh body.

    Spiritual Being from the Greek Concordance;


    G4151 Greek: πνευματικός Non-carnal that is (humanly) ethereal (as opposed to gross) or (daemoniacally) a spirit (concretely) or (divinely) supernatural regenerate religious : – spiritual.

    Your life should flow from your perfectly created spiritual soul with the controlled -awareness of all thoughts and actions into the world. Your life should flow from your heart-soul and not from your ego-mind.


    You are not living from a flesh body into a spiritual being………or are you?

    That being said; The spiritual world can not in any way flow from the flesh world into the spiritual world.

    When the flesh dominates the spirit, life becomes challenging because the spirit is love-God and dominates the soul when allowed too. By way of awareness, the flesh is recognized as weak and the focus on life is through love and not mind-ego.

    When the soul operates from the ego-flesh-world all aspects of life becomes defensive.

    Regenerate is reformation or religiously reborn according to the Greek Concordance and divinely supernatural.

  • Relating To The Man Jesus

    Relating To The Man Jesus

    This study does not include salvation and baptism from Scriptures and the relationship to Jesus.

    Are you a “Jesus”?

    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

    Mark 8:31-34  And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him. But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men. And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 

    Luke 9:23  And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 

    (See Also; Mat 16:24, Mark 10:21, Mat 10:38, Rom 6:6, Gal 2:20)

    Point being, Jesus told Peter he was a Satan. Again, a representation of evil or an evil act. Second point being, Jesus himself, called an apostle a Satan, simply rebuking Jesus because of Peters thoughts for things that be of men?

    Reference to sin-evil is no more than committing an error, making a mistake, missing the mark. Doesn’t this reference seem to apply more to Peters thoughts are no more than missing the mark?

    Savourest from the Greek means to exercise the mind, that is, entertain or have sentiment or opinion, (that be of men).

    Jesus is stating that not only the son of man must suffer many things, but he states that humankind should deny themselves, and take up their cross to follow me. Taking up your cross daily.

    Follow (me) from the Greek from Mark 8:34 is;

    G190 ἀκολουθέω From G1 (as a particle of union) and κέλευθος (a road); properly to be in the same way with, that is, to accompany (specifically as a disciple).

    Miracles and the Created Soul

    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)

    1John 3:1-2  Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 

    John 3:2  The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 

    These verses state that a man can do miracles like Jesus, provided God be with him.

    Jesus forsaken by His Father?

    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?

    Forsaken from the Greek; 

    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: – forsake, leave.

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

    tarry ye here” from the forsaken definition in the “good sense” in that Jesus remains on this earth within every soul.

    Sorrowful from the Greek;

    G4036 περίλυπος From G4012 and G3077; grieved all around, that is, intensely sad: – exceeding (very) sorry.

    How can it be that Jesus himself feels that God has forsaken him? Jesus then states that he is exceedingly sorrowful unto death.

    This simple understanding is that Jesus was born into the flesh as a flesh being, with all the attributes that all created souls birthed into the flesh experiences.

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

    To be as his master is to be Christ-like. That being said, why is there an appearance of separation between humankind and Christ in understanding that we are to be as He is? He had to teach humankind how to act and how to see. (If you have eyes to see and ears to hear.)

    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.

    Because humankind is or can be as Jesus, John 15:20 is stating that there should be a consistent awareness of not being greater than Jesus. Exactly what Satan as a soul failed to do.

    Does Jesus have to judge?

    John 8:15-16  Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. 

    John 12:47  And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

    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. 

    (See Also; Mat 7:1-2)  

    Jesus is stating that souls ultimately judge themselves.

    Scripture states God’s Creation is finished. Judgement was done at creation. Since God knew you from the beginning, and knows your eternity, if there was any judgement, it was prior to your freewill. Freewill begins from the forming of the flesh, to allow souls to live as they wish in their eternity. To live without any interference because “it is finished.” (Gen 2:1)

    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.

    Condemn the sin, not the sinner.

    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.

    Condemning is to judge against. Judging oneself is understanding and learning from errors and mistakes. Progressing in the avoidance of negative repetitive natures.

    ALL flesh is corrupt until the “old man” is renewed.

    Eph 4:22-24  That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. 

    Gen 6:12  And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 

    John 2:14-16  And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise. 

    Interesting how Jesus did something where in this day in age, Jesus would have been led to jail. A hard pill to swallow is in that Jesus as a man, was a man, acted like a man, but He knew His higher self, and the love He had for souls and the understanding of how to access His higher self or inner self to overcome, with some struggles, showed by example, the closeness souls have to Jesus.

    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. 

    Jesus tempted;

    Mat 4:1-11  Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him. 

    Satan, (as an individual soul), seemed to think he could tempt Jesus. Satan knowing who he is, Satan also knew the flesh is weak and made the attempt to get Jesus to worship him.

    Summarizing;

    Jesus being God in the flesh, lived in the flesh and had no advantage over any created soul. Jesus simply understood who he was from His awareness of his true spiritual self and knowing the powers that the spirit-soul itself has, and learning how to overcome the flesh.

  • Purgatory=Spirit World

    Purgatory = Spirit World

    Purgatory
    The word purgatory is not found in the Bible.
    Mainstream religion defines purgatory as: Purgatory is a place or process where souls are cleansed of impurities before entering heaven.

    Spirit World:
    This is true but the understanding should be in that all souls that return back to the Lord after a life, returns back to their perfect spiritual self. The goal is always improving on one’s heaven.

    Heb 11:3  Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.


    (See Also; Heb 2:5, Heb 6:5, Mat 12:32)

    Mainstream Religion:
    Who goes to purgatory? People who die in a state of grace but are not yet fully purified go to purgatory.

    Spirit World:
    All souls have God’s grace, therefore all return back to the spiritual world. (Grace is found in the Bible in 122 verses.)

    Mainstream Religion:
    What happens after purgatory? After being purified in purgatory, people are assured a place in heaven.

    Spirit World:
    Heaven is within. Also within the world of your current awareness? Call it the physical world if you want. All have salvation so heaven is inevitable.

    Mainstream Religion:
    Other uses: Purgatory can also refer to any situation where there is sharp but temporary suffering or misery.

    Spirit World:
    “Other uses” are not possible because your in your pure spiritual state. This state is a liken to a staging area in-between lives.

    2Co 5:8  We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

     
    One thought is the spiritual world is a planning stage in accordance to a souls freewill.
    Again, God’s work is finished and His foreknowledge in your eternity is predetermined.
    (Acts 2:23, Acts 15:18, Luke 22:22, Luke 22:37, 1Peter 1:2)

    The beauty of the individual consciousness; beliefs are in truth when the thoughts and actions are in and from the love and goodness from the soul. Thus wisdom and knowledge are always in a growth stage. MJI (LightWorker)

    Perfection from the original Greek Biblical text does not mean to be free from flaws or defects.

    Perfect” in the Greek; #5046 is teleios; from:5056; complete (in various applications of labor, growth, mental and moral character, etc.); completeness.

    This “perfection” is a labor of growth in mental and moral character, overcoming evils and establishing a foundation of love in life.

    Rom 12:2  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.

    Are you renewed, transformed, and do not conform to this world?

    Gal 3:3  Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? 

    Recognizing this perfection stems from your soul having the Word from the “beginning.” and in “time,” (eternal) this gift of perfection comes to all.

    James 1:17  Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. 

    Eph 4:13  Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 

    Be like Jesus.

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

  • Mans 3 Estates (In The Walk Towards Salvation)

    Mans 3 Estates (In The Walk Towards Salvation)

    Man has a progression of 3 estates from birth to death (pertaining to salvation). The estates are;

    • Damnation
    • To be reformed, a reformation
    • To be regenerated, a regeneration

    A man’s estate (condition of existence), is the degree and quality of his standing in relationship to his love and obedience towards God and ultimately leading to salvation at death of the flesh.

    A man’s first estate of damnation

    1Ti 5:12  Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.

    Damnation in the Greek Text; G2917 κρίμα From G2919; a decision (the function or the effect, for or against [“crime”]). G2919 κρίνω Properly to distinguish, that is, decide (mentally or judicially); by implication to try, condemn, punish.

    Summarizing;

    Having damnation is having the option to properly distinguish and decide a for or against position, in the mind. The first faith is faith you inherited from creation.

    We can see in this next verse that resistance, or making the wrong decision receives damnation.

    Romans 13:2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

    (Damnation in NT verses; Mat 23:14, Mat 23:33, Mark 3:29, Mark 12:40, Luke 20:47; John 5:29, Rom 3:8, 1Co 11:29, 2Peter 2:3) (Damned is found 3 times; Mark 16:16, Rom 14:23, 2Th 2:12)

    John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

    John 5:29  And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. 

    The Second Estate; Being Reformed

    Making the decision to avoid damnation leads to the second estate of being reformed.

    Leviticus 26:23-24 And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me; Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.

    Roadblocks to reformation can be in the a soul returning to a former state, (to not think from God but from self. Illness where one can not rationalize. Bodily illness not in a state for freedom. A state of blindness of understanding truths, or God closes their eyes.

    The Greek word for reformed is; H3256 יָסַר A primitive root; to chastise, literally (with blows) or figuratively (with words); hence to instruct: – bind, chasten, chastise, correct, instruct, punish, reform, reprove, sore, teach.

    The English definition of reformed is to be caused to abandon an evil manner of living and follow a good one.

    Man’s Third Estate; Regeneration

    Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

    Regeneration in the Greek Text; G3824 παλιγγενεσία From G3825 and G1078; (spiritual) rebirth (the state or the act), that is, (figuratively) spiritual renovation; specifically Messianic restoration: – regeneration. G3825 πάλιν Probably from the same as G3823 (through the idea of oscillatory repetition); (adverbially) anew, that is, (of place) back, (of time) once more, or (conjugationally) furthermore or on the other hand: – again.

    We can see that the regeneration process is in the same sense going from damnation to reformation previously discussed.

    Going from the physical material world in their walk with God to the deeper spiritual relationship that takes “heaven” within us to that higher estate.

    It begins when a man desists from evils as sins, progresses as he shuns them, and is perfected as he battles against them.

    But he becomes spiritual only in the measure in which he is in truths. Everyone is regenerated by means of truths and of a life in accord with them; by truths he knows life and by his life he does the truths.
