1 Corinthians: 15 King James Version (KJV)
35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven[/COLOR.
Mark: 16 KJV N.T.
19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
The above confirm that Jesus rose to God's kingdom of heaven clad only in His Spirit, 'not seen' and eternal Son of God body. And in this form and from that place Jesus is Lord.
Jesus is in God kingdom of heaven clad only in His Spirit, 'not seen' and eternal Son of God body. And in this form and from that place Jesus is Lord.
The kingdom of God is found here:
Matthew: 6 King James Version (KJV)
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Luke: 17 King James Version (KJV)
20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
You will find Jesus, clad only in His Spirit, 'not seen' and eternal Son of God body within you, in your own heart/spirit. And in this form and from that place Jesus is Lord:
Galatians: 4 KJV N.T.
5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Then it was clearly stated:
2 Corinthians 3 King James Version (KJV)
17 Now (since 2000 odd years ago) the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
. . . and it was confirmed that the physical, 'seen' and temporal, son of man Jesus is not consequential:
Matthew: 12 KJV N.T.
32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

Calvinism is a cult for many reasons. Cult-like behavior is always marked by an idolatrous attachment to the cult itself. You will not find every Presbyterian or Reformed Baptist to be mired down in the cult-like behavior of Calvinism. Many people attend Calvinistic churches for reasons other than Calvinism and such members place little emphasis on Calvinism itself. It is those people who have committed themselves to five-point TULIP Calvinism who are mired in this cult.
Calvinists like to claim that all other theological systems are false. Calvinists have beliefs similar to the early Gnostics, who believed “the elect” were those ‘chosen-ones’ who had the secret knowledge of God. They believe that anyone who does not accept Calvinism must be a ‘non-elect’ and ‘non-regenerate’ person. If you observe a Calvinist carefully, you will see that he has little regard for the true meaning of the Bible message. The only message he will allow or accept is the message of Calvinism. All Biblical passages are run through the Calvinist mill. Any passage which seems to run contrary to his doctrine is ‘reworked’ to fit into his system. Like all cults, the Calvinist will not change his beliefs under any circumstances. Rather than conforming his beliefs to the Bible, the Calvinist tries to conform the Bible to his beliefs. Instead of trying to understand what the Bible really says, he first asks himself how any given passage might impact Calvinism. Then, instead of honestly trying to understand the intended message of any given passage, he develops an interpretation that will suit Calvinism. Thus all interpretations are ‘custom-fit’to suit Calvinism.
The Calvinist serves his belief system and to him the Bible must be interpreted to conform to his belief system. All interpretations of the Bible are subject to doctrines of Calvinism. For example, in the gospel of John, Calvinists interpret the word “world” in John 1:29 and John 3:16 to mean “the elect” or ‘chosen-ones’ (they use the word ‘predestinated’). But at John 17:9, they interpret the word “world” to mean “other than the elect.” Therefore, they give the same word ‘world’ (Greek kosmos), totally opposite meanings from one passage to the next. There are myriads of examples in Calvinism just like this one.
Ordinary Christians do not have such a rigid 5-point system. If a Bible passage comes up that impacts their present beliefs, such Christians will change their beliefs to conform to the Bible. Not so with a Calvinist. The Calvinist (like the Mormon and Jehovah’s Witness) serves his rigid belief system and no Biblical passage is going to change his mind.
The purpose of reading the Bible is to find out what it says and arrive at the intended meaning through understanding the context, the grammar and following accepted objective principles of interpretation. Most people read the Bible to discover the treasures therein, but not the Calvinist. He uses the Bible only to make it suit or ‘custom-fit’ his rigid 5-point brand of Calvinism.
Calvinists do not try to coherently piece the ideas in the Bible together to arrive at the big picture. Rather, they pick up passages that suit them best and either ignore or rework all other passages which do not endorse Calvinism. They gather together a bunch of passages and build for themselves a rigid cult-like doctrinal belief system (called TULIP) which is to their liking. In short, they create their own god, an idol called Calvinism.
Many people would say this language is too strong to describe Calvinism. At one time I would have said so myself. But having studied and observed Calvinists for thousands upon thousands of hours, it is my solemn conclusion that Calvinism is a very dangerous cult and falls into the same bracket of cults like Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormonism. Do not let the fact that they accept regular doctrines like the Trinity and the Deity of Christ fool you either. Observe their behavior in church circles, in theological debates and especially on social networking sites and you will see how correct are my observations that Calvinism is indeed a blinding and life-choking CULT.
The Spirit, the Spirit, the Spirit. Jesus said that the Spirit will not speak of himself, John 16:13.
The Spirit is not speaking of Himself. All this 'speaking' is being done by people who are in physical bodies using physical words. These deliveries are simply instructions on how and where to reach the Spirit of Jesus/Spirit of Truth (Who brings All Truth/'the Word of God').
The Spirit of Truth/Spirit of Jesus does not speak of Himself. The Spirit of Truth/Spirit of Jesus is totally impersonal. He simply makes intercession (silently and impersonally) between each Saint/Christian and the Spirit of God. And come up with what each of them must know, pray for say and do.
What the Spirit of Jesus/Spirit of Truth has in mind for each Saint/Christian to know, pray for, say and do is a perfect amalgam of only 1. the deeply seated ideas, beliefs, interests, needs, desires and aspirations that is the fabric of one's own heart or spirit and 2. the will of God, Which is the Holy Spirit.
Each Saint/Christian comes to know what the Spirit of Jesus/Spirit of Truth has in mind for him or her to know, pray for, say and do by searching his or her own heart/spirit. This is discerned intuitively, individually, silently and privately (without physical word) within his or her own heart/spirit.
Romans: 8 KJV N.T.
26 Likewise the Spirit (of Jesus, Who God sent into the hearts of His children) also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit (of Jesus, Who God sent into the hearts of His children) itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit (of Jesus, Who God sent into the hearts of His children), because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
When one is led into all his/her works by precisely what the Spirit of Jesus/Spirit of Truth has in mind for him or her to know, pray for, say and do one serves 1. the deeply seated ideas, beliefs, interests, needs, desires and aspirations that is the fabric of one's own heart and 2. the will of God, Which is the Holy Spirit.
When one is led by the Spirit of Jesus/Spirit of Truth, one serves 1. the deeply seated ideas, beliefs, interests, needs, desires and aspirations that is the fabric of one's own heart and 2. the will of God, Which is the Holy Spirit.
By doing the above one achieves the following, simultaneously and in perfect harmony:
1. one does one's own will at the level of one's own heart/spirit.
2. one does the live will of the living God
3. one achieves one's own heaven,
4. one achieves God's heaven
This is made possible only by the Spirit, 'not seen' and eternal, Son of God. Lord Jesus, as discerned within one's own heart/spirit. Only this approach to life is Christianity. This is the only way through which one is saved and delivered and becomes a child of God and a Christian.
Since 2000 odd years ago, the physical Jesus is not at all consequential in any of the above.
Jesus gave only two gospels.
Galatians: 2 KJV N.T.
7 But contrariwise, when they saw that 1. the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as 2. the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
Jesus had only two missions/agendas:
Matthew: 8 KJV N.T.
22 But Jesus said unto him, 1. Follow me; and 2. let the dead bury their dead.
Jesus met two kinds of people:
Matthew: 13 KJV N.T.
10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
Only the disciples were given to follow Jesus. The rest were 'the dead who were given to bury each other':
John: 6 KJV N.T.
65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
Jesus told the disciples (the twelve who were given to follow him) privately among only them:
John: 16 KJV N.T.
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Jesus confirmed:
2 Corinthians 3 King James Version (KJV)
6 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.
The letter which killeth are the scriptures:
John 7 KJV N.T.
15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
Who was identified to be Satan:
Matthew 16 King James Version (KJV)
23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
Who but Satan/Peter was appointed by the physical 'seen' and temporal, son of man Jesus to a Satanic commission for 'the dead' (the spiritually dead) which is anchored on the scriptures which killeth:
1 Corinthians 5 King James Version (KJV)
5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
Who but Paul was appointed by the Spirit, 'not seen' and eternal, Son of God, Lord Jesus to exemplify Jesus' spirit and Spirit based commission. Paul got all his knowledge and guidance for his commission, directly privately and intuitively from the Spirit, 'not seen' and eternal, Son of God, Lord Jesus:
Galatians: 1 King James Version (KJV)
1 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead
11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Jesus confirmed that only the Spirit of Jesus/Spirit of Truth brings all truth:
John: 16 KJV N.T.
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
In the end, only Paul got all truth from the Spirit, 'not seen' and eternal Son of God, Lord Jesus. The physical, 'seen' and temporal son of man Jesus delivered no truth.
1 Corinthians: 15 King James Version (KJV)
35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven
Only the Spirit, 'not seen' and eternal Son of God, Jesus is Lord. The physical, 'seen' and temporal son of man Jesus is not Lord.
Galatians: 3 King James Version (KJV)The Holy Spirit is only given to those who hear and believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to support this claim he quotes, Galatians 3:2
John: 14 KJV N.T.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Fact is Jesus rose to heaven, in a spiritual body, three days after the physical Jesus was crucified (done away with). The death of the physical, seen' and temporal son of man Jesus and the rise of the Spirit, 'not seen' and eternal, Son of God Jesus was the regeneration. This occurred 2000 odd years ago.
Then the Spirit, 'not seen' and eternal, Son of God, Lord Jesus went ahead to prepare a place, in heaven, for those who follow Him in the regeneration.
In the above Jesus said: 'I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.'
This conveys that the Spirit, 'not seen' and eternal, Son of God Jesus will come to those who follow him, when they die and take them to heaven, in three days, into the mansion in God's house which He went ahead to prepare for them, so that where Jesus is, there they may be also.
'No physical Jesus will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.'
One can only follow the path which Jesus took to heaven.
Like Jesus, one (who follow Jesus in the regeneration) must die (loose one's physical body) and be regenerated in a spirit body. Then Jesus who is clad only in His Spirit body will meet and receive such a one. Such a one will be clad only in his/her spirit body. Then together they will rise to heaven in three days, "that where I am, there ye may be also." . . . This is the Christian path according to the Gospel of un-circumcision that was rendered onto Paul.
It is different under the Gospel tht was rendered onto Peter.
Under the Gospel of circumcision that was rendered onto Peter, the dead are buried in the earth in hell with Satan. The dead means spiritually dead or unaware of one's spirit. When such a one dies, he has no awareness. He looses the only thing that he is aware of (i.e. his physical body). Although such a one is in his spirit body, he is not aware of his spirit body. He can do nothing in or through, his spirit body, like rising to spirit heaven.
Such a one is simply dragged down into earth, in hell, with Satan, by or with, his dead physical body. The dead (i.e. their souls, spirits and physical bodies) are buried in the earth, in hell with Satan. Nothing rise to heaven, in three days, like Jesus Christ). The second coming of Jesus was and is, not for them.
I accept and I am guided by only the Holy KJV N.T.. All other renditions/versions of the N.T. are not inspired/revealed works. All other versions of the N.T. are the carnal/intellectual works of humans (whose aim is to undermine and/or exorcise the spirit and Spirit dimension that anchors the New Testament/Christianity).Confess before men... Do you believe Jesus is the revelation of YHWH in the Flesh? (1 Ti. 3:16)
