We see a major stumbling stone Christians stumble at and that is John 1:1-3. The Bible does NOT say, "God was the Word" the bible is telling us, "the Word was God�s word." Hence the Word was God. �Jesus Christ the Son of God never spoke his own words. He spoke God his Father�s words and not his own John 14:10 & John 7:16. The word ((was)) and not ((is)) is used to show past tense and the word ((and)) to show separation of thoughts a conjunction which is Basic English 101. However, we have preachers who have never been called using the scriptures out of context to take you to hell fire and brimstone along with them because of their blindness and unbelief to the scriptures. The word is no longer in heaven it has now been spoken to us by the Son of God Jesus Christ from his Father as Jesus had the Spirit of his Father in him. The word is a seed Luke 8:11. In the begining God created the heaven and the earth how? By speaking words, God and Father of Jesus never used two hands to make the earth like you and I can to make something.
Amen, the problem is we have churches using out of context scriptures to get at your pocketbook and not for the saving of your soul. The Churches of the hour rejected Jesus Christ the Son of God and has accepted the teachings of the great Babylon. ((Rome))�Amen, in the beginning Genesis 1:26 God the Father of Jesus is talking to somebody and not to himself. Something was with God that was his Son Jesus the Word. The words, ((us)) and ((our)) is used and not ((I)) and ((me)) . God the Father of Jesus created the earth by using words and not two hands like you and I can use to make something. God and his word are two separate things as the bible is the word of God and not God. We do not carry God in our hands we carry his word. Jesus Christ the Son of God known as the Holy One as well in the Old Testament spoke his Father�s words and not his own words.
Luke 8: 11] Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.�
John 1: [1] In the beginning ((was)) the Word, ((and)) the Word ((was)) with God, ((and)) the Word was God. [2] The same ((was)) in the beginning with God. [3] All things ((were)) made by him; and without him ((was)) not any thing made that was made.
‎
Hebrews 1: [1] God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, [2] Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; [3] Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; [4] Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
Genesis 1: [26] And God said, Let ((us)) make man in ((our)) image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.�
Ephesians 3: [9] And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:�
John 7: [16] Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.�
John 14:[24] He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.�Amen, the bible became a human being as the Word was made flesh and not God the Father as he never left his throne he sent his Word/Son, the same words that Jesus spoke made Mary pregnant, as the word is a seed.�
John 1: 12] But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: [13] Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. [14] 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. [15] John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. [16] And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. [17] For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. [18] No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.�‎
Luke 1: 34] Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?�[35] And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.[36] And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.�[37] For with God nothing shall be impossible.�[38] And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
1st John 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; [2] (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) [3] That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.�
1st Peter 2: 7] Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, [8] And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.�
Jeremiah 9: [1] Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!�
[2] Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.�
[3] And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.�
[4] Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders.�
[5] And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.�
[6] Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.
Jesus was not even close to being God being a Son. He was a total weakling without the spirit of God his Father in him as he was no Superman Jesus had to learn by obedience . God his Father is no Superman either as he never left his throne he sent his Son Jesus John 3:16.
Amen, many people are portraying In these last days a Superman type kind of Jesus that is half man and half God. I never found any scripture like this in the bible after 22 years and not one soul never will. God never became nothing in the flesh he sent his Son John 3:16. Jesus told us in John 4:24 God is a spirit NOT a human. Jesus Christ the Son of God was 100% human, the difference between Jesus and man is that he knew his bible as he was the bible in the flesh. Jesus the Son of God our Lord had to learn by obedience. Jesus told us: he can do nothing by himself, did not know when he was returning, never spoke his own words, was sent, talked about and prayed to his Father in heaven, a separate entity, could not give anything to anybody, and used third party terms with his Father in heaven. Jesus Christ the Son of God felt pain, ate and drank. Jesus never once said he was God in any shape or as that was spun out by bewitched and carnal minded preachers looking for your pocketbook by using vain deceit and way, way, way out of context scriptures. Most preachers should be hauling garbage instead of preaching and perverting the bible as they might feel something. The only thing they are feeling after is the devil and taking you along the ride to hell with them unless you come out from among them.�

"Jesus was not even close to being God being a Son. He was a total weakling without the spirit of God his Father in him as he was no Superman Jesus had to learn by obedience . God his Father is no Superman either as he never left his throne he sent his Son Jesus John 3:16. "
Jeremiah 23 is talking about a person yet to come. Basic 101 English. His days NOT my days. Personal pronouns hehishim vs Imemy. Talking about Jesus the Son of God using third party conversational English.
Jeremiah 23:[5] Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
[6] In ((his)) days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Rev 22:16] I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
[17] And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
[18] For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
[19] And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
[20] He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Titus 2:13: We wait for the blessed hope--the glorious appearing of our **GREAT GOD** and Savior: Jesus Christ!!
Hebrews 1:8: But about the Son He says, Your throne, **O GOD**, will last for ever and ever!
John 20:27-29: Then He said to Thomas, "Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe!" Thomas said to him, "My Lord and **MY GOD**!" Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen Me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed!"
Isaiah 9:6: For unto us a Child is born, to us a Son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor and **MIGHTY GOD**!
Way out of context scriptures you might want to take an English 101 course the word ((and)) a separation of thoughts.
Amen, Evangelist Andrew Kelly here once again with the truth from the Gospel of Christ with no compromise. People are stuck on Isaiah 9:6, while preachers are stuck in your pocketbook keeping you in bondage. The word ((his)) name and NOT ((My)) name is used. I was reading the local paper here on Olds, AB by a bewitched and carnal minded preacher in town, he was deceiving people saying, "Christmas is the birth of God in the flesh!!!" by using way, way, way out of context scriptures. Christ Jesus the Son of God came in the flesh and not God his Father in any way shape or form.
His=he=him (third party not named)
My=I=me (singular first person)
Romans 8:[3] For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Isaiah 9:6] For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon ((his)) shoulder: and ((his)) name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
1)For unto us a child is born, a son is given!!!
Luke 2:7] And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
Matthew 1:18] Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
2) And the government shall be upon his shoulder.
Matthew 28:18] And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
3)and ((his)) name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God,
The mighty God NOT the Almighty God and Father. John 5:19-30 and 1st Cor 15:27-28.
John 5:19] 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.
[20] 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.
[21] For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
[22] For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
[23] That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
[24] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
[25] Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
[26] For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
[27] And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
[28] Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
[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.
[30] 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.
1st Cor 15:[22] For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
[23] But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
[24] Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
[25] For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
[26] The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
[27] For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
[28] And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
4) Wonderful
Matthew 21:15] And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased,
[16] And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
6) Counselor
John 20:16] Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
7) The everlasting Father=Jesus’ words are everlasting.
Matthew 24:35] Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
8) The Prince of Peace
John 16:33] These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Amen, the bible does not teach God himself came down off his throne he sent his only begotten Son Jesus. John 3:16 and Mark 12:1-14.
John 3:16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
[17] For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
[18] He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
[19] And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
[20] For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
[21] But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 12:[1] And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
[2] And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
[3] And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
[4] And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
[5] And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
[6] Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
[7] But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
[8] And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
[9] What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
[10] And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
[11] This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
Thomas said, "My Lord AND my God." NOT "My Lord God" John 14:10 hold the key as to Thomas said what he said in John 20:28. As Jesus was talking to Philip and Thomas. You are way to late and way too out of context to establish another Gospel as it has been declared and settled in heaven Jesus is the Son of God.
John 14:10] Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
[11] Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
[12] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
Hebrews 10:19] Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
[20] By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
[21] And having an high priest over the house of God;
[22] Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
Romans 1:1] Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
[2] (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
[3] Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
[4] And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
[5] By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
[6] Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
[7] To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Same in Titus the word ((and)) is used as two separate thoughts just like John 1:1 three seperate thoughts and past tense ((was)). All you are doing is calling God a liar for not believing the record he gave of his Son Jesus. Jesus is not coming back for liars who perverts his words.
Titus 2:13] Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God ((and)) our Saviour Jesus Christ;
[14] Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Romans 5:10] For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
John 5:25] Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
[26] For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
[27] And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
[28] Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
[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.
[30] 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.
1st John 5:[9] If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
[10] He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
[11] And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
[12] He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
[13] These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
[14] And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
[15] And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
**JESUS SAYS, "MY MOTHER AND BROTHERS ARE THOSE WHO HEARS **GOD'S WORD** AND **PUTS IT INTO PRACTICE**!" {Luke 8:21}
Psalm 119 has 176 verses praising the Word of God. The Old Testament had 613 laws and the New Covenant of Jesus and His love has about 400 commands which Psalm 119 also applies to. Some of my favorite verses is Psalm 119 are:
119:105: Your Word is a Lamp to my feet and a Light for my path.
119:97: Oh how I love your law, I meditate on it all day long.
119:148: My eyes stay open through the watches of the night, that I meditate on your promises.
119:164: Seven times a day I praise you for your righteous laws.
119:16: All your Words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal.
119:169: Give me understanding according to your Word.
119:2: Blessed are those who keep His statues and seek Him with all your heart.
119:11: I have hidden your Word in my heart that I might not sin against You.
119:28: Strengthen me according to your Word.
Deut 18:17-19: The Lord says, "I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put My words in His mouth, and He will tell them everything I command Him. If anyone does not listen to My words that the Prophet speaks in My Name, I Myself will call Him to account."
John 14:23,24: Jesus says, "If anyone loves Me, He will **OBEY MY TEACHING**! My Father will love Him, and we will come to him and make Our home with him. He who does not love Me will not obey My teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent Me."
Revelation 1:1-3: The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must take place. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John, who testifies to everything he saw--that is, the **WORD OF GOD** and the testimony of Jesus Christ.

EVERYTHING would also include all the other commands in God's inspired Word from Acts to Revelation as per 2 Timothy 3:16: 4:2: "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work...Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction."

I John 4:7-12: Dear friends, let us **LOVE** one another, for **LOVE** comes from God. Everyone who **LOVES** has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not **LOVE** does not know God, because God is **LOVE**. This is how God showed His **LOVE**among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. This is **LOVE**, not that we **LOVED** God, but that He **LOVED** us and sent His Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends,since God so **LOVED** us, we ought to **LOVE** one another. No one has ever seen God, but if we **LOVE** one another, God lives in us and His **LOVE** is made complete in us!
Romans 8:35,37-39: Who shall separate us from the **LOVE** of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?...We are more than conquerors through Him who **LOVED** us! For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the **LOVE** of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!!
