True Christians are the disciples of Jesus-the Word of God.

Jesus has a soul (life). Jesus has a body (servant). Jesus has a spirit (truth in Him).


Human history and the New Testament of the King James Bible.


Jesus the man (mankind) and Jesus the Word (Godkind).

Jesus is a child of the Father (Godkind, of the Spirit) and a human child (mankind, of the flesh).

 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Matthew 1:23, see also Isaiah 7:14.

To appreciate who and what Jesus is as the first and only begotten human child of the Father (God-the Holy Spirit), we must know that the nature of the parents always determines the nature of their offspring. For example, zebras (animals) are born from zebras as animals, sparrows (birds) from sparrows as birds, perch (fish) from perch as fish, and people (humans) from people as humans. (Hybrid animals do not reproduce.)


Being born of God means being born of the Holy Spirit, also called the Spirit. 

  • That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. John 3:6.

Jesus was born a human child (mankind) and God the Father's son (Spirit). Jesus is the ONE AND ONLY begotten (human-birthed) son of God the Father! He is part God (Spirit) and man (flesh).


Yes. The Word of God in the Old Testament of the Bible foretold the coming of a person (Jesus) who would be the begotten Son of God, born directly of God. Those prophecies of old would become true at the appointed time set by the Father. 


At the appointed time, the Holy Ghost (Spirit of Truth) bore witness to the Old Testament Word of God in power, and Jesus was born of a woman. 

  • 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. Matthew 1:18.
  • But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. Matthew 1:20.

Thus, Jesus is the son of God by the power of the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Ghost, bearing witness to the truth of the Word of God.  

  • ...that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. John 3:6b.

Never forget, the Father's spirit (truth) IS the Holy Ghost. The Word of God foretold (prophesied) the coming of Christ Jesus, born of a woman (a son of man) and born of God (the only begotten Son of God).


Recall that every person, including Jesus, has a body (servant), soul (life), and spirit (truth). Also, the Father's Word is His servant and His offspring in the Spirit because it originates from Him. See Isaiah 42:1 and Matthew 12:18, above. Stated another way in the context of the Spirit, the Word of God is the offspring (issue) from the Father Himself, just like our words are the offspring (issue) from us when we speak. 


From the moment of conception, Jesus's spirit (truth in Him) was different from ours. Jesus received His spirit (truth) from God as the "offspring" of the Father, namely His Word. When we are born, our spirit has yet to be shaped by any sense of truth. All we know is the difference between good, as love, and evil, as lacking love. 


God the Father presented His persona, His Word as God (see John 1:1), inside of that baby human named Jesus. Therefore, the spirit (truth) of Jesus IS the Word of God from the Father as the offspring of the Father in the Spirit. The Word of God in Jesus made Him Emmanuel, "God with us" (Matthew 1:23; see also Isaiah 7:14). 


Jesus knew who He was from the inside out. He knew the God part of Him was the Word inside Him. The Word is of the Holy Spirit, or simply the Spirit, and is the very reason why Jesus IS the only begotten Son of God from birth.


Yes. Jesus knew who He was from the inside out. He knew from a young age and at 12 years old proved that the God part of Him was the Word inside Him. 

  • And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey;  and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? Luke 2:42-49.

The Word is of the Holy Spirit, or simply the Spirit of God, and is the very reason why Jesus IS the only begotten Son of God and the Jewish Messiah from birth.


The Word of God IS the spirit/Spirit (man's truth/God's truth) inside the man named Jesus.

  • In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God...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. John 1:1 and 1:14.

The phrase "the Word was made flesh" (John 1:14 above) means the Word (Spirit) was given a very important flesh suit to dwell within, like a temple, because that which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. John 3:6. 


Therefore, from day 1, Jesus was born mankind (flesh), and Godkind (the Holy Spirit), and His spirit (truth) in Him was the Word of God from the Father God sent to earth as a servant in the Spirit (the Word) and the flesh (body of Jesus). More specifically, Jesus is the servant of God because the Word of God was in Him from the beginning. 


Jesus is both the Son of God and the Son of Man, and only He can proclaim that truth everywhere. The Word of God gives the believer the power to become a child of God in the Spirit, just as Jesus had the Word (Spirit) in Him as the first child of God. As discussed later, this is why we who are "born again" of the Spirit are said to comprise and be alive "in Him" representing the body of Christ Jesus today on earth.



Jesus and the cross is the door(way) to the kingdom of God!

Jesus said:

...I am the door... John 10:17 and 19.

Jesus also said:

...I am the way, the truth, and the life:

no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6.

God the Father wants us to know Him, but He is Spirit, and we are flesh. We come to know Him by learning His Word. Jesus is the begotten servant who brought us the Father's Word inside Him as man's truth and showed us we too can live forever by that same Word. Jesus said:

  • Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Matthew 11:29.
  • It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. John 6:45.


Yes. From the beginning of time and forever thereafter, the Word of God is God who created all things. The Father's (God's) Word is THE doorway to the Spirit, and Jesus the man is the physical door to the Spirit. All creatures (humans too) were crafted by the Word of God.  

  • All things were made by him [the Word]; and without him [the Word] was not any thing made that was made. John 1:3. [Bracketed language added for clarity.]

The Word foretells of life on earth for all and life in heaven for the children of God, but not everyone is a child of God, despite what you may have been told, taught, or think. To be a child of God, you must be "born again" of the Spirit. 


As humans, our first introduction to God is through the Word of God. The Word is in the Bible. Jesus, the Word, said:

  • I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. John 10:9.
  • Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:5-6.

When Jesus offered Himself (His body, soul, and spirit) on the cross, He shed His blood and died. He did so in love to cleanse us from the death penalty for our sins and gave us the power to become sons of God!


In the natural, Jesus and the cross is the physical door to the Spirit.


In the supernatural of the Spirit, the Word of God is the doorway of the Spirit.


For everyone born again of the Spirit, the Holy Ghost (Spirit of Truth) enables us to go in and out of the Spirit, allowing us to commune with the Father in prayer and know His will personally and individually, so we can do it. Therefore, hiding or removing the Spirit of Truth (the Holy Ghost) from the New Testament of the Bible, as some so-called "versions" do, is a very bad idea. 



Jesus, the Word and savior of the world.

Jesus is a child of God (of the Spirit) and a child of mankind (of the flesh). He said, 

...the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

John 6:63.

No. There can be no faith in something that has already happened because it is a fact. Whatever happened are facts to be believed.


For example, the death of Jesus on the cross and His resurrection unto life thereafter are well-documented events of human history! In fact, most of the original disciples, more than five hundred (500) miscellaneous people who knew Jesus, and Paul (the guy who authored almost 2/3 of the New Testament) all saw Him alive days after His lifeless body was taken off the cross He was nailed to and buried in a tomb. 

  • For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. 1 Corinthians 15:3-8.  

Therefore, the events of Jesus' death and resurrection are facts to be believed. When we believe the facts about the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus and the promise of salvation Jesus gave us, and receive His Word promising the same eternal life He has, we have the “power to become” God's sons (children) by adoption through faith in the Father's Word. However, faith is belief put into action, i.e., conduct (action) in reliance on the belief. Confessing (admitting) sin and repentance from sin (conduct) are the actions of faith needed to be born again and saved when our body dies. Both confession and repentance are required to become born again of the Spirit (saved) and live forever.

  • I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Luke 13:3 and 5.
  • The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count  slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9.



Pictorial: God is a consuming fire.

  • Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 2 Peter 3:12.
  • For our God is a consuming fire. Hebrews 12:29.

Metaphor? Coincidence? 

The Hubble Space Telescope provides a detailed look at the core of the giant spiral galaxy Messier 51 (M51) shown in both photos. Most sources agree that M51 is located around 25 million light-years away. A "light year" is about six trillion miles.


Coincidence?

You decide after you consider the odds. Please see the NASA video below.
