It will be easier to understand Jesus' identity if you read the article Who is the Holy Spirit in this commentary. Note: There are two aspects of belief between some Christians, some local churches and even a few denominations concerning grace. One side believes grace ends immediately after salvation and the other side believes grace continues throughout salvation. The “grace enders” say the “grace continuers” believe they have to get saved over and over and over. The “grace continuers” say the “grace enders” must not have gotten saved in the [...]

NOTE: PLEASE READ AND THINK ABOUT THESE TWO PARAGRAPHS BEFORE WE START. (Matt. 10:22) Jesus said; "but he that ENDURETH to the end shall be saved." People sometimes say Jesus was talking to Jews in this scripture and they are absolutely right BUT: (Matt. 10:1-8) they were racial Jews who became the very first (Acts 11:26) Christians; they simply had not been called Christian yet! AND: (Matt. 10:9-42) These first Christians had some ENDURING to do because Jesus was instructing them how, through the power and leadership of the [...]

The Jewish Library contains ancient Jewish documents called Midrash and they contain specific information concerning the steps of the ancient Hebrew Blood Covenant process. As I researched and wrote about God’s Old Testament Blood Covenant with Abram/Abraham (Part 21 in the commentary God, Satan and Man: The Relationship on this website) was astonished by its similarity to the New Testament Grace Covenant and how perfectly both COVENANTS addressed my salvation event and afterward. (Heb. 8:13 thru 9:28 esp.V.9-11, 15, 23 keyword: patterns: defined: to foreshadow, a type, a prophesy & V.24-28) But [...]

WAR? WHAT WAR? NOTE: We must remember God always gives man a choice to obey or disobey. Example: (Gen. 12:1 thru 15:8) Abraham made many choices to obey or disobey before God made the covenant with him. (Matt. 24:36) God knows what we will do and by that knowledge He can make prophesies (the future foretold), promises (covenants) and a timeline (the times when prophesies will happen). People, including me, including you, do not know what our future decisions will be and that is why we must be knowledgeable [...]

As you have already read: NT Greek- The Greek word for circumcision is formed from two base words. (English example: fiberscope, if you had never heard of a fiberscope you could go to the words fiber and scope to get a more complete understanding.) SO: circumcision is- #1 completeness, one cut, all through, (compare to salvation when all your past sins were suddenly cut away and gone), AND #2 repeated blows, like hacking, (Heb. 4:12 keyword: sharper) with a sharper instrument, (compare to spiritual growth as God's word and the Holy Spirit hack away at the [...]

(Matt. 13:22 & 16:26) The world mentioned in these scriptures is not the earth; it is the world systems controlled, operated, utilized and justified by unbelievers or Holy Spiritless believers which offer opportunities for illicit sex, acceptance of scripturally forbidden sex; riches, power, position and self-gratification if you will perform certain acts and commitments. The world also offers ready access to scripturally forbidden entertainment and intoxicants. The world systems offer “religions” in which you can worship whatever can be dreamed up to be worshiped. (Matt. 11:29 & 2Tim. 2:15) [...]

(Matt. 4:18-20 esp. V.19) Jesus walked up to Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were fishermen casting their net into the sea. (V.19) Jesus said; "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." Jesus left out one important fact, or maybe He figured they, being fishermen, already knew it, or maybe Jesus didn't tell them He was running an on-the-job training program, or maybe He knew, at that stage of their Christian experience, they'd run for the far hills if they knew what following Him [...]

If you are not absolutely sure of the identity of the Holy Spirit please read the "Who is the Holy Spirit" article in this commentary before you continue. (Rev. 12:9) The great dragon, the old serpent (Lucifer), the Devil and Satan are different names for the same evil being. (1John 4:1-3) There are only two spirits; the Holy Spirit of Christ and (Eph. 2:2) the unholy spirit of antichrist which is Satan, the Devil. There is something beautifully clean cut about that; there is no in-between; it is God [...]

Objective: (2Cor. 4:4 & 11:14 then Eph. 6:12) This article is not to curse the darkness but to light a candle by which to light our way to the Promised Land. We all know the person, team or group with the best offense (the action of attacking) and the best defense (the action of resisting attack) always wins! All of Satan’s weapons are for offense and his one [...]

(Eph. 6:17) YOUR ONE WEAPON OF OFFENSE (Eph 6:17-18) “And take (Strong's Concordance W #1209: to take hold of, receive, to receive friendship, the thing offered in speaking, teaching, instructing, to receive favorably, make one's own, approve) the helmet of salvation,” A helmet protects your brain. Your brain is the physical thinking organ you, the spiritual soul, uses to think with. Among its many other functions your brain stores what you know. (Acts 20:28 & Rom. 5:8-11) At salvation individuals are saved through the blood of Jesus (John 10:28 [...]
