INTRODUCTION TO WEBSITE
A SUMMARY OF EACH OF THE SIX COMMENTARIES IS GIVEN AFTER THE SIXTH PARAGRAPH BELOW. Sometimes people talk about getting caught right in the middle of things. SO: Have you considered that this life is the only hell the people who are going to heaven will ever know? AND: Have you considered that this life is the only heaven the people who are going to hell will ever know? Something to think about isn't it?
AS A CHRISTIAN IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS PARAGRAPH. (ROM. 8:9) " NOW IF ANY MAN HAVE NOT THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, HE IS NONE OF HIS." THAT MEANS IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT YOU DO NOT BELONG TO GOD! PLEASE READ THE COMMENTARY >>>THE HOLY SPIRIT AND YOU<<< SO YOU CAN RECOGNIZE THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOUR LIFE AND CULTIVATE A CLOSER RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. OR: YOU CAN LEARN HOW TO EXPERIENCE THE (JOHN 3:3 & 1PET. 1:23) BORN AGAIN (ACTS 4:10-12 & HEB. 2:3)SALVATION EVENT AS SCRIPTURALLY DESCRIBED IN THE COMMENTARY >>>BREATH OF LIFE<<<.
SOMEHOW THE NOTION HAS BEEN FOSTERED UPON US THAT GOD IS SOME RED FACED, ETERNALLY SWOLLEN WITH RAGE ENTITY, SITTING ON A TERRIBLE THRONE OF JUDGMENT; TREMBLING WITH EAGERNESS TO DELIGHTEDLY SMASH US SCREAMING AND BEGGING INTO HELL! OF COURSE THAT VIEW OF GOD PORTRAYS CHRISTIANS AS A GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS, WELL SPRINKLED WITH SMIRKING HYPOCRITES, WHO ARE PARANOID, CRINGING AND FILLED WITH DREAD WHILE THEY TRY TO ADHERE TO A BUNCH OF IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP RULES. THAT VIEW PORTRAYS THE REST OF HUMANITY AS HELPLESS, DESPAIRING REPROBATES WITHOUT HOPE. ANOTHER VIEW PORTRAYS GOD AS SOME WEIRD "JOHNNY APPLESEED TYPE" SKIPPING MERRILY THROUGH THE COSMOS WITH HIS BAG OF PEOPLE SEED INDISCRIMINATELY SOWING COLONIES OF HUMANS WHEN HE HAPPENS UPON A PLANET THAT WILL SUPPORT LIFE! THEN HE'S OFF ON HIS JOURNEY, TO NEVER RETURN. STILL ANOTHER VIEW PORTRAYS GOD AS SOME ANCIENT, DROOLING, DODDERING, PURPOSELESS ENTITY WHINING "IF YOU'LL JUST WORSHIP, BELIEVE IN, OR EVEN THINK ABOUT SOME GREATER BEING IT'LL BE ALLRIGHT AND YOU CAN COME ON TO HEAVEN"!
THIS WEBSITE DISPELS ALL THAT NONSENSE AND INTRODUCES THE READER TO THE TRUE GOD OF LOVE WHO IS GRACIOUS AND UNDERSTANDING; A LIVING, VIBRANT GOD WHO IS FILLED WITH MERCY, KINDNESS, TENDERNESS, PATIENCE AND GOODNESS. YOU WILL BE INTRODUCED TO THE GOD OF LOVE WHO DESIRES TO HAVE A PERSONAL, LOVING RELATIONSHIP WITH THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO TRY.
DIRECTIONS ARE GIVEN AT THE END OF THIS INTRODUCTION TO DOWNLOAD AND MAKE A HARD COPY OF ANY COMMENTARY OR ANY PART OF A COMMENTARY IF YOU SO DESIRE.
If you have made it this far, that's great; you are serious. This website is for serious people who want to know God and about God. We all understand learning requires time, effort, patience and concentration. If you read these commentaries with prayer and a hungry heart your hungry heart will be filled. IF YOU DECIDE TO GO NO FURTHER IN THIS WEBSITE AT LEAST TAKE THE REST OF THIS PARAGRAPH WITH YOU. The KJV Holy Bible is the source used: #1a) QUESTION: What if you had met this person, did him a huge favor and wanted to get to know him a little better and to establish a relationship with him/her. You go to their door, your heart is filled with gladness and eagerness; "Oh boy! A brand new life to explore; a brand new experience!" You knock. They answer. You state your business; "I want us to get better acquainted with each other." They look at you a long moment; then quietly say; "No, I've got better things to do." and shut the door in your face! How would you feel? How embarrassed would you be? How badly would your feelings be hurt? How many times would you come back with the same offer? #1b) (Matt. 11:28-30) God makes the same offer of getting better acquainted and establishing a better relationship with you when He speaks through the Holy Spirit in that still, small voice in your thoughts; "I really feel like I need to read the Bible." OR: "I really ought to pray and thank God for all He's done for me." (Luke 12:34) But then you close the door of your soul in God's face and refuse to let Him in and you go watch TV, read a magazine, or something else and that embarrasses God and hurts His feelings just like it would you. #2a) QUESTION: What if you, utilizing all your resources, had given a person the greatest, most precious, most beautiful gift you could ever give that person. Then they take that wonderful, unique, infinitely precious gift and treat it like a piece of garbage! How hurt and angry would you be? #2b) (1Pet. 1:18-19) God had nothing more precious to give than when He gave us the gift of His own Son, Jesus the Christ, so you and I could be redeemed by His blood. (Heb. 10:29-31) God is hurt and angry when, by our deeds and words, we show God that we count the blood of Jesus as a useless piece of garbage? THINK ABOUT THIS: (Gen. 1:27) We are created in God's image. Our hurt and anger reaction to the rejection and insult in the two situations above is the same as God's hurt and anger reaction to our rejection and insult to what He freely offers! The only difference is God has the power to do something about it and we don't! (Rev. 3:16) The above situations, in a nutshell, are how a Christian can be lukewarm and not even realize it BECAUSE: (1Thess. 5:19) many Christians quench (extinguish, to go out) the Holy Spirit until their Christianity is a dull exercise in feel good-ism futility.
JESUS explains the spiritual warfare between God and Satan and how Satan brought that warfare into the physical realm at the beginning of man and how that warfare is now is carried out physically through Israel and spiritually through the Church. (John 12:32) Did you know Jesus was lifted up three times? This commentary explains Jesus' Godhood and manhood in a heartrending personal way that causes a Christian to realize his own value to God. Did you know the very first prophesy concerning Jesus was given in the Garden of Eden? What is the difference between a living prophesy, an objective prophesy and a spoken prophesy concerning Jesus? Do you know the definition of the word overshadow contains three parts and that it took thirty years to fulfill that word? Do you know the genetics of Jesus' conception? Some people say the Bible lied because it included Joseph's name in Jesus lineage and God, not Joseph, was Jesus' Father; that answer is here. When did Jesus take the Keys to Hell and Death? When and how did the Grace Covenant come into effect? The answers to all these questions and many more are revealed in this commentary. God's plan of salvation from the very beginning of man to now is explained by exploring Jesus' life from conception to ascension and how His life, death, burial and resurrection is the centerpiece of God's plan of salvation.
THE HOLY SPIRT AND YOU The Bible says; (Rom. 8:4-9 esp. V.9) "Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his." That scripture is shocking in its import (meaning). It obviously means if Christians do not possess the Holy Spirit within them they are not saved? This commentary tells how to recognize the Holy Spirit in your life. Is it true that after salvation God expects to have a personal relationship through the Holy Spirit with each Christian? This commentary tells how He does it. The segment "Who is the Holy Spirit" reveals God's true identity! Four of the many questions answered in the first "Self" segment are: 1) How can we understand God if we don't understand ourselves? I'll bet you really do not know you! 2) What does "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:" really mean? What are the three parts of the human soul? Who's in charge; the brain OR: the soul? How? 3) How is the conscience in charge of what? 4) WHAT ABOUT ABORTION? Have you ever wondered; "WHAT DOES THE AGE OF ACCOUNTABILITY MEAN?" The segment The Holy Spirit is Truth gives that surprising answer and it also includes the true story about a man who fought the Holy Spirit and "won" that battle but "lost" the war for his soul! The segment The Holy Spirit is Given contains a vivid discussion of what SPEAKING IN UNKNOWN TONGUES really means. Other segments answer these questions. Is there a true Church "hidden" in the visible Church? What is the war between God and Satan really about? The vast majority of Christians do not know what grace really means because their preachers and teachers do not preach and teach it. Do they even know? Read the "GRACE SEGMENT" and ask your preacher if he knows! The "Grace" segment is a revelation into God's soul. Did you know Neanderthals, Cro-Magnon man, iron age, bronze age, evolution, creation, time and timeless are addressed in the Bible? Please see "Who is the Holy Spirit" for those surprising answers. The segment "Why is the Holy Spirit" explains how Jesus is a Friend and a Brother to every Christian who will let Him and it contains three miracles God performed in this writer's life. The last miracle contains a beautiful poem. The segment; "Part 2: Old Walter: A CHOSEN VESSEL" is a real life story of the great wonder God did in the lives of an old drunkard and eight little boys! Other segments answer: Why are there denominations and why can't they agree? When did denominations actually start? Is it even possible for a person to get to Heaven through present belief in a denomination? DRUG USE in the Bible is one of God's secret scriptures that is only revealed by the Holy Spirit and that is addressed in the "Christian War With the World" segment. Eternal Security, Predestination and Backsliding are addressed in "Where is the Holy Spirit". Part 2: of Where is the Holy Spirit, titled; Part Two: The LIGHT, is an astonishing, uplifting, inspiring, true story of a young Christian woman's last stand, back to the wall, spiritual battle against death and hell; please don't miss it. Why do science and the Bible appear to "butt heads" and yet agree on so many things? These questions and many more are answered in various segments. This commentary contains such a diverse and meaningful wealth of information concerning the personal relationship between God and man, man and man and man and himself that it simply cannot be covered in this brief summary.
SIN IN CHURCH begins with a shocking overview of persecution, church power, rebellion, freedom and civil law that brought the Church in America to what it is today. So many people say; “Yeah, I'd like to go to church but the things I see Church people do turn me off.” “Sin in Church” scripturally answers the question of why church people, Christians, act the way they do. HOMOSEXUALITY and the proper Christian reaction to it is thoroughly explained in the segment "The Devil: The Deception Principal". The two parts of Growth as a Christian: The Survival Principal completely explores THE HUMAN CONSCIENCE and you will be surprised! AND: The second part tells the true story of what happened the first time I met a young man after HE HAD KILLED MY SON. This commentary scripturally explains the four stages of Christian spiritual growth, the four types of Christians in any church, what backsliding means, how sin happens in a Christian's life and how God has all the answers already in place to take care of His Christians if they want it. Do you realize there were actually three scriptural curses brought about by man's sin in the Garden of Eden? If you read only one segment of this complete website please read; "Judging: The Authority Principal", all three parts, for a beautiful, thrilling journey into God's mind from creation to the final result of God's purpose in creating man. ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE CHRISTIANS DO NOT HAVE TO "TASTE" DEATH. READ HOW GOD USES OUR OWN BRAIN TO ACCOMPLISH THAT! There are several poems scattered throughout the three parts. Yes, it will get a little "teachy" at times but if you hang in there with it and, WITH PRAYER, finish it you will be closer to God than you are right now! You will be amazed and pleased by the reaction of lost people when you explain how a new Christian is given a brand new start and must learn how to be a "profitable" Christian through spiritual growth. The information in this commentary will help you in witnessing to "fallen" Christians and it will reveal where you stand in your church and where your church stands in God's Church. If you need to renew your covenant with God this commentary will Biblically tell you how.
COMMUNION Biblically tells how a Christian can regroup his priorities, attain spiritual "spring housecleaning of his soul" and renew his personal relationship with God. Did you know that many "modern" churches have discarded all, or part, of communion as a historically useless function and by that their congregation is robbed spiritually? Do you know the ho-hum, little finger raised, taking by rote of communion derails part of God's plan of salvation? Do you want to understand how Jesus participates in a communion service that celebrates His sacrifice? What does the word unworthily really signify in the scripture that describes the communion service? Why are Christians scared to death of the word unworthily? Do you understand the preparation time required and its significance before partaking of the communion service? What is a forgotten part of the communion service? Do you understand that communion, properly prepared for and properly performed, is one of God's "big guns" that prevents a Christian from unknowingly sliding into lukewarmness? Really now; are you as fresh faced and on fire for God as you were when you were first saved? Do you think about your salvation event and talk about it like you once did? Did you know that present day communion is rooted in the seven steps of one of the most dramatic events in the Old Testament? Where is Heaven? And finally; do you know what it was like when God "made" Adam? All these answers and more are given in this wonderfully anointed commentary.
IS GOD FAIR ANSWERS THOSE HARD QUESTIONS NOBODY DARES TO ADDRESS IN CHURCH. Jesus said;(John 6:44) "No man (none, not any) can come to me except the Father which hath sent me draw him:" SO: If God is fair how did the pre-christian, historic tribes of people throughout the world who lived and died before the church got to their place or even before Jesus was born have an equal opportunity to accept or refuse salvation? Do you know the Bible contains no certain AGE OF ACCOUNTABILITY? The Biblical answer to the question; "Are suicides automatically condemned to eternal punishment for self murder?" will amaze you! WHAT ABOUT CHILDREN WHO DIE BEFORE THEY ARE DRAWN BY GOD; HOW DO THEY GET A FAIR CHANCE AT SALVATION? The answer concerning God's provision will thrill you! Are the mentally handicapped who don't have the mental capacity to recognize God's drawing just throwaways because of diminished brain function? What was "Abraham's Bosom" and did Jesus visit that place? When did Jesus preach in a place called prison? Did Jesus preach in a place called death? Does the spiritual man have the same five senses as the physical man and what will it be like when you die? DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT WENT ON IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM WHILE JESUS' PHYSICAL BODY LAY IN THE GRAVE? Those questions and many more are answered in "Is God Fair". This commentary explores the infinite love, grace and the availability of mercy God has for ALL people.
BREATH OF LIFE Why even have a life if we are going to struggle and flounder along a few years and then die; WHAT'S THE POINT? This is a very good witnessing commentary that explains the why and how of salvation. Christians can copy "Breath of Life" and hand it out when witnessing even in the few minutes when you are shopping, pumping your gas, waiting in a line someplace and etc. (Luke 19:10) AND IT DOES WORK TO HELP PEOPLE GET SAVED FROM BEING LOST AS HAS BEEN PROVEN OVER AND OVER BECAUSE GOD HAS ANOINTED THESE WORDS. Do you know the three approaches God uses to draw people to Him? If you want salvation this commentary follows God's Biblical plan to show you how to obtain it.

The unrevised King James Bible is the scripture source for these commentaries. Most of these commentaries start with informational numbered notes that explain the objective and reason for the commentary. Of course that causes them to start out a bit "dry" so please be patient as you read those few lines because the writing will "heat up" in a spiritual, emotional and intellectual sharing through the Holy Spirit. These commentaries, are a series; if one raises a question not connected to that particular commentary another will answer it and etc. These commentaries are in an "easy read" format so today's "every man" the common person can understand. Reference scripture numbers in parenthesis are included in the texts. The commentaries are written in a semi-story style for "easy reading" so it is easier to first read through a segment of text to follow the story continuity and then come back and reference the text by scripture if you so desire. If you try to read each scripture reference as you read the text you WILL lose the storyline. This process allows the story line to become a Bible Study if that is what you want to do.
I sincerely pray and hope God richly blesses you through this work.
