. Knowledge of God:
"He hath made every [thing] beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end."
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.
"As you do not know how the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of the woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything.”
"In
my Father's house there are many mansions...."
. The Truth: “Know the truth and the truth will set you free.” I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
“... the wise man is crowned with knowledge.”
"Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life." "Speak not into the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words."
"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits.” . Relationship to God: “Behold, the kingdom of God is within you."
"I have said, Ye [are] gods; and all of you [are] children of the most High."
"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." (Commonly paraphrased as: "Anything I can do, you can do and more.")
"Shew [show] the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye [are] gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold [it] together." John 10:30-35 + 10:38 John10:30-35 ... 30) " I and my father are one accord. 31) Then the Jews again took up stones to stone him. 32) Jesus said, I have shown you many good works from my Father; for which one of them do you stone me? 33) The Jews said to him, It is not because of the good works we stone you but because you blaspheme; for while you are only a man, you make yourself God. 34) Jesus said to them, Is it not so written in your law you are gods? 35) If he called them gods because the word of God was with them (and the scripture cannot be broken) 38) ...the Father [is] in me, and I in him. “Behold, the kingdom of God is within you." Mark 10:27 "...with God all things are possible."
. Relationship to Nature:
"For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all [is] vanity."
. Am I My Body" "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."
"As you do not know how the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of the woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything.”
"...There
is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body." " It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life."
The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty has given me life.
" . . . the body without the spirit is dead . . .."
. You Were Created by God at Conception:
. . . .
. Warnings: “. . . And whoever shall cause one of these little ones who believes in me to stumble, it is better for him that an ass’s millstone were hanged on his neck, and that he were thrown into the sea.”
"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits.” . Public Prayer:
"And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites [are]: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues [houses of worship] and in the corners of the streets, [and on television] that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."
. Judgments: “I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that [there is] nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him [it is] unclean.” Romans 14:20 “. . All things indeed [are] pure; but [it is] evil for that man who eateth with offence” " . . . Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind."
. My Brother's Keeper: "Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done [it] unto me"
"... He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone...
"Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."
"Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. "
. Belief / Faith
“... 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." “In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God."
"Ask and you shall receive; seek and you shall find; knock and it will be opened to you"
