      • 1st time the word spirit is mentioned:
      • Romans 1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
          • 1st time word the ghost is mentioned:
          • Romans 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

1 Corinthians 1:3 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Concerning Spiritual

PDF Notes

 

1 Corinthians 12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

      • Remember that the angels are called spirits, sent to minister to the heirs of salvation: Hebrew 1:7, 14.

1 Corinthians 12:2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.

1 Corinthians 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

Bullet Points of God the Father, His Son, and His Spirit

PDF Notes

 

God the Father

  • Not metaphorical, else we have a metaphorical relationship exemplified, which would lead to a metaphorical relationship with His Son for us as well, leading to a metaphorical salvation from sin, right? Where would it end? No Bible text explains a metaphor in that title of Father, or Son.
  • One God, which is the head of Christ
      • 1 Corinthians 11:3 “I would have you know, that… the head of Christ is God.”
  • Greater (translated “elder” in Romans 9:12) than Christ
      • John 10:29 “My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all…”
      • John 14:28 “My Father is greater than I.”
  • Called […]

When GOD Came Down

PDF Notes

 

All through the Old Testament it appears in the words of the prophets that God the Father was mingling with men. Yet since the prophets of the New Testament added their inspired commentary, it doesn’t seem that it was so:

John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

John 5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

John 6:46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.

Colossians 1:15 Who is the image of […]

Third Person of the Godhead

PDF Notes

 

Who is this ‘third person’ we’ve heard so much about, and can we find that phrase in the Bible? 

    • No, that phrase is not found in the Bible, but Ellen White uses it—so what does it mean?

The Bible does reveal that concept, but in other words. Jesus spoke in the ‘third person’ quite often. When He used the phrase, “son of man,” it was then that we can see an application to the concept. Notice, that in most of the 88 times the phrase “son of man” was employed by the prophets […]

Angels in Acts of the Apostles

Remember, angel is only one of the ways used in the writings of EGW to refer to God’s agents. Go to the context of any section copied and pasted below to learn more.

He has sent forth His angels to minister to His church, and the gates of hell have not been able to prevail against His people. AA 11.2

Look upon the touching scene. Behold the Majesty of heaven surrounded by the Twelve whom He has chosen. He is about to set them apart for their work. By these feeble agencies, through His word and Spirit, […]

Because of the Angels

Because of the Angels

Christ has a head – He is under the authority of His Father. 

Man has a head – he is under the authority of Christ. 

Woman has a head – she is under the authority of her husband.

Why? 

Because of the angels. 

Really? 

Why???

Because the faithful angels didn’t know what had happened in the conflict over the begotten Son of God and the honored created son of God: Christ and Lucifer. They needed to understand what had happened and what the difference was between God the Father and His Son, so God made Adam to represent Himself, while Eve, begotten from Adam’s own substance, represented the Son. 

All of this, “because of the angels.”

Christ was God Essentially

Taken from the only time this quote was not included in a compilation:

“The world was made by him, “and without him was not anything made that was made.” If Christ made all things, he existed before all things. The words spoken in regard to this are so decisive that no one need be left in doubt. Christ was God essentially, and in the highest sense. He was with God from all eternity, God over all, blessed forevermore.” RH April 5, 1906, par. 6

Ephesians 3:9 and Hebrews 1:1-2 speak clearly that God the Father created all things through His Son. John 1:1–3 says that all things were created by Christ, […]

Answering Mr. O in Regard to Omnipresence

PDF Notes

Mr. O, I mentioned I would put a video together, but after starting to write out the notes, I found that writing would be a good way to go. I hope you don’t mind the change in what I said I would do. My comments are in bold:

Hello Pastor. I have some concerns regarding this video presentation and I am hoping you can help me understand. First of all, I agree with everything you have presented as far as the sources you have quoted. My concern is, I am afraid I am not understanding your interpretation of the material you have conveyed.

Thank you so much. If you could help, I would request that you go through the video again, pointing out precisely where I have misconstrued the words I […]
