“There is but one living and true God.
His Attributes
“The attributes of God are the qualities, elements and perfection which belong to Him. They belong to Him and are parts of His divine nature – not that His whole being consists of a combination of the same, but because they are the forms and expressions of His being which He has revealed to man.
“These attributes are natural and moral. The natural attributes reveal His existence as an infinite and rational spirit; that is, self-existence, freedom, omnipotence, omnipresence, omniscience, and wisdom. The moral attributes are holiness, righteousness, justice, goodness, love, grace, mercy and truth.’
“As known to men on earth God are an invisible spirit, whom no man hath seen nor can see. He is eternal and self-existent. He creates beings with immorality, but God alone possesses eternity. He is infinite, filling all space in the entire universe, embracing all worlds. He is omnipotent, i.e., infinite in power; shown by all His creations from infinitely great to the infinitely small. All His acts are done by the exercise of His volition, and are seen by man in the universality, variety and multitude of His works. God’s omnipotence is limited only by His moral perfections. God cannot lie! But he raises up and destroys nation for their corruption and rebellion against God, and rejection of Salvation through Jesus Christ. God does what He wants, when He wants, and nothing can stop Him when He moves. No man can box God in and think they have Him figured out. Jesus came to do away with Religion and have mankind created into a new image with God living in them to the Fullness of Christ spiritual experience, which must be prayed for daily for many, many years, in order to get it.
“God is omnipresent, the creator, upholder, and governor of all things. He is also omniscient, all things being open and naked before His eyes. God’s wisdom is infinite, embracing all knowledge and is independent of all His creatures. We can tell Him nothing which He does not know, but His intelligent, infinite intuition comprehends all things past, present or future. This intelligence is perfect and absolute. Man analyzes things to find out their nature. God knows the nature without the analysis.
“The foreknowledge of God is to be reconciled with man’s free agency and moral accountability is indeed to men in the world a dark problem what reason cannot reconcile. Some of the churches on earth have denied man’s moral freedom. Others maintain that God in the exercise of His omniscience, like His omnipotence, abstains from knowing what His creatures will do, under certain given circumstance. But the foreknowledge of God itself, unrevealed to men, does not impose nor eve hint to men any course of conduct whatever; it in no degree affects His liberty of action. Man neither sins nor follow holiness, as the result of God’s foreknowledge; so notwithstanding God’s foreknowledge, he has made man in His image, a free moral being.
“God is infinitely wise, always knows what is best accomplish His purposes. That is wisdom; for wisdom is the art of turning to best account our knowledge. Both in creation and Providence God’s wisdom is seen. His wisdom and His works everywhere confirm each other as being of God. No higher wisdom has ever been seen or known than God’s wisdom in the plan of human redemption. It solves the problem of God’s justice in justifying the believer in Jesus Christ.
“The perfect goodness of God is seen in the benevolence which embraces all mankind and provides for their welfare. His merciful dealings with men declare His goodness; it is also seen in His unmerited favor, drawing man to salvation and in the use of so many means to this end, also in the abundant provision, which He has made for man’s present and eternal happiness.
Moral Evil
“How sin can exist in the world, with all its terrible consequences in connection with God’s righteous government, is an awful and difficult problem; the complete solution of which is not possible to man in his earthly life. But sin does exist, and God permits it for reasons of His own, not fully revealed to men. In heaven it could not be so. No taint of sin can ever enter the gates of this city. If an angel should again sin God would instantly cast him down to hell.
“Righteousness and justice are divine perfections. It is holiness exhibited in government. Truth or faithfulness of God is much the same as His righteousness. All He says and does is true. His veracity is an element of His character. God cannot lie. As God is eternal His truth remains the same. Whatever is out of harmony with His revealed truth, the same is a lie. To the question, ‘What is truth,’ this answer, which we repeat in heaven, is true:
‘To know God as He has revealed Himself to man is truth of the highest order.’ Our Lord declared: ‘I am the way, the truth and the life.’ All things taught or believed that are out of harmony with His clear revelations are both false and misleading.
The Triune God
“The eternal God has revealed Himself to men as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. The Son of God is and always was divine. He is the express image of the Father. There have been many errors and heresies in the church in past ages. But we worship on Triune God, neither confounding the persons, nor dividing the substances of the same. For there is one person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Ghost; but the Godhead of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost is one God.
The Divinity
of Jesus Christ
“He was the word of God from eternity. In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. While on earth we always held Him to be divine and worshipped Him as God; and in heaven He is confessed by all both saints, and angels to be God and equal to the Father. All the hosts of heaven worship Him. He was God manifest in the flesh.
The Holy
Spirit
The Holy Ghost is one with the Father and with the Son Equal in eternity power and glory. In creation He moved upon the face of the waters and developed form and beauty out of disorder and confusion of a destroyed Earth and Solar System, which Satan destroyed when he was thrown out of Heaven by God to Earth. Then begins the book of Genesis the recreation of Earth, which took millions of years. He proceeded from the Father and from the Son, and took up His abode with His church on earth. He has ever been with them since His coming on Pentecost. He is the Comforter, guide and sanctifier of His people.
Man’s Original
State and Fall
“God made man upright. He was both material and spiritual and possessed of a divine life, and made in the image of God. He could hold communion with God, with all that is divine, as well as with the material universe. He was made but a little lower than angels, and was crowned with glory and honor and had dominion over the works of God’s hands in the earth. He was a companion of His Father and Creator, capable of admiring, adoring and enjoying God. While He was material and possessed an animal nature, as he came from the hands of God, yet he was an intellectual, moral, pure and holy being. He was placed under law with life and death before him. Adam rebelled; sin was born on earth. The glory of the Lord departed from him. Man fell, and felt his guilt, and was alienated form God. The stream of humanity was contaminated at it source. The first pair became sinful. Their descendants of necessity were in their image fallen and depraved. So by one-man sin entered into the world and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. Our nature sinned in Adam and the stream became polluted at the fountainhead. This depravity became universal for all the faculties and powers of the soul and body were brought under the power of evil.
When Adam and Eve sinned, their flesh was cursed by God and their life span, God immediately put death into their DNA program. Each and ever person was born with similar DNA with the encryption of death in it. God shortened man’s life span, while Satan and 1/3rd of the angels who were thrown out of Heaven with Him are controlling their Matrix of evil mind control on all of mankind. Man wants to own the Matrix, but Satan has an invisible Matrix who are the “Rulers of the Spiritual Darkness” of this Age, and all the intelligence of mankind cannot equal one of these Fallen Angels intelligence.
Satan has a government that he rules; he has been at it for millions of years. God tells one of His Prophets that when He threw Satan down to Earth with his angels, they immediately destroyed an inhabitable Earth. You can see the destruction even today in our Solar System. One half of Mars was damaged while facing towards Earth. The moon is littered with destruction from this rage of Satan. The asteroid belts in our Solar System were once planets that Satan destroyed. God had to recreate the Earth which took millions of years to do it, and that is where Genesis book of the Holy Bible starts out in the story of Mankind’s creation after this catastrophic destruction of Earth and our Solar System.
NASA satellite photos show an ancient race of people on Mars that built pyramids there that are larger than the ones on Earth. Then there is the modern side of Mars, which shows great Seas like oceans all around the planet with a blue atmosphere like Earth from the Galileo Satellite Telescope Pictures.
Then the modern skyscrapers cities on Mars and the many whistle blowers who worked on Mars for the US Government Secret Projects. Then the CIA helping Bastiago to reveal the photos of NASA of Mars which shows humanoid people and grey aliens on the surface of Mars and spread throughout this dessert like region there are many insects and animals with human heads thereby showing the DNA manipulation of the species with human DNA.
Election and
Foreordination
“We believe God did foreordain and devise a plan from the foundation of the world by which he would save men, and further He did foreordain form the beginning that all men throughout the ages who would accept and be willing to conform to this plan should be saved; so that every one in harmony with His power and liberty of choice who shall choose eternal life through God’s plan was foreordained to eternal salvation.
Repentance
“True repentance is a condition of soul before God wrought by the operations of the spirit of God upon the heart and soul of man whereby he is made to see and feel the sinfulness of his sins, and yield obedience to God in the future.
Justification
“Justification can only follow true repentance and is an act of God’s free grace wherein He pardons the sins of man, and accepts Him as righteous in His sight, only for the sake of Christ.
Faith
“True unfeigned and faith in God believes all that God has said, commanded, promised or threatened. It is dependent upon testimony, and is valuable to us as the truth itself. We can believe in men. We are responsible for our faith, for one may believe a lie as he does the truth. The truth only can make him free. True saving faith leads the soul to trust itself to the all-atoning merits of the sacrificial death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Adoption
“Adoption is an act of God whereby the believing sinner is received into the family of God, with all the rights and privileges of His children in which he becomes an heir of God with a right and title to eternal life.
The New Birth
“The new birth of which our Lord spoke is that mighty change wrought of God in the soul of man when He impart to him eternal life and renews him in the image of God. This change is the work of the Holy Spirit wrought in man, convincing him of sin, and leading him to repentance and faith whereby he is born from above with eternal life as gift from God.
The Baptism of
The Holy Spirit
When God infuses his supernatural power and life into you, it radiates like pure energy inside of you and it moves out of you in radiance. A very wonderful experiences that makes the things of God more real of living in the spiritual realm and the natural realm at the same time. Your eyes become more opened to spiritual realities, and at times the Holy Spirit opens your spiritual eyes to see that spiritual reality all around you. You have a hunger to read the Holy Bible and study and learn from it, for it is the manual on mankind in order to give you knowledge on how to function in this new spiritual life that you are now become of aware of, which you didn’t know existed before in your life.
Redemption
In the Koine Greek, there is an aorist verb used with Redemption, which means it is an ongoing process in your life. You are redeemed for your eternal destiny when you experience true salvation from the Holy Spirit. But as for your role in the new life in Heaven and where in God’s vast government is located that spans all of Eternity, which the angels do not know how large it is; what you do down here determines what you do up there for Eternity. Some will command and rule over Galaxies, and others over Universes, but the important and high-ranking positions are in Heaven near God’s Throne.
This is the Redemption process of you asking Jesus Christ the Holy Anointed One of God who is the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords to put you on His sacrificial alter and for Him to take control of your life and be your Lord and King. After this, God determines the training in life you must go through and endure the trials of His design for His purposes of who you are to become in this lifetime. For God created every human being to have a purpose, but many do not walk in that purpose and throw their life away seeking to be King on the Mountain, or driven by Greed, thereby never becoming what God created them to be. In other words, ‘a wasted life’; and there are many of them on Planet Earth, that is why the Earth’s History is nothing but pure violence and destruction regardless of new scientific inventions and ways to have a better quality of life here on Earth. But your days on Earth are so short, and then you die, but you go on into the spiritual world, either dragged down to Hell by devils, or taken to Heaven by Angles to live there for Eternity and off to one of the greatest adventures in life that you will take.
God gives mankind the right to choose their destinies even if they are not his plans and purposes for their lives.
And with an invisible enemy that is alive and well, who never sleeps and never tires of plotting each and every persons destruction on this Planet Earth. And Satan is well qualified, for he has enslaved and blinded the eyes and minds of over 6.5 billion people on Planet Earth who he will send to Hell, before those in Hell and Satan and his devils are all thrown into the Eternal Lake of Fire, where they will be slowly disintegrated and cease to exist.
Jesus came to Earth to take the penalties of Sin away from those who accept it. Jesus came to set the mankind to be free of devils living in them. To open their eyes to the spiritual realm they are suppose to also live in at the same time as the natural physical realm. Jesus came as the Second Adam, perfect in being with no Sin, to teach mankind God’s ways, and set people free of devils and heal them as He walked in the anointing mantel of Elijah the Prophet.
John the Baptist walked in the Elijah Anointing as a Prophet and then transferred his Anointing of Elijah to Jesus, then the crowds left John and followed Jesus. Without that Elijah Anointing, John could now be killed, but before, he had Divine protection under that Prophet Anointing Mantle of Elijah the Prophet.
