PROCLAIMING THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD


MINISTERING TO ITS MEMBERS SCATTERED ABROAD

email address: theworkofgod.21stcentury@gmail.com

Dear Friend,
RECEIVE YOUR GIFT OF DIVINE LIGHT FOR TOTAL ENLIGHTENMENT
FROM THE ETERNAL CREATOR GOD OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE.

HE DESIGNED THE WHOLE CREATION TO BE INHERITED BY THE HUMAN RACE.


ALL THE HUMAN FAMILIES HAVE THEIR HERITAGE IN EVERYTHING THAT THE
DIVINE MAKER OF ALL THINGS GOOD, BEAUTIFUL AND WONDERFUL EVER
MADE. THE ALL MERCIFUL, BLESSED SOVEREIGN OF ALL THE
WORLDS LOOKS AT OUR PLANET EARTH, HIS SHINING JEWEL ORBITING IN
OUTER SPACE AROUND THE CREATED SUN. HE SEES NO BOUNDARIES ON
ALL THE LANDS AND SEAS. HE SEES NO BLACK SKIN. NEITHER YELLOW. NOR
WHITE. NOT ANY BROWN. HE CONSIDERS NO RACIAL DIVIDES. HE SEES NOT
RICH MAN’S GOLD, NEITHER POOR MAN’S PENNIES IN THEIR HANDS. HE SEES
NOT THE SCEPTRES AND CROWNS ON THE HEADS, NEITHER THE PLOWS AND
SPEARS HELD BY THE ARMS. NONE IN ALL THESE THAT HE CREATED IN HIS
IMAGE, IN HIS LIKENESS. HE LOOKS INTO THEIR HEARTS!

ULTIMATELY, THE SONS OF MAN, BORN OF WOMAN, WERE MADE TO BECOME


THE CHILDREN OF GOD, THEY WERE MADE TO INHERIT, AND TO TAKE
POSSESSION, OF ALL THE CREATED WORLDS, AND THEREAFTER, BY THE
GRACE AND WILL OF GOD, ESTABLISH PEACE, AND SPREAD THE INFINITE
BLESSINGS OF HAPPINESS AND JOY FOREVERMORE IN ALL OF THEM!
BEGINNING WITH THE NEW WORLD SOON TO COME. SEE! IT IS JUST
ACROSS THE NOT DISTANT HORIZON. THERE, LOOK, IT IS JUST AROUND THE
BEND!

SO AMAZING, INDEED! FAR BEYOND AND SO WAY ABOVE ALL THAT THE
CREATIVE IMAGINATIONS OF SCIENCE FICTION WRITERS COULD POSSIBLY
VISUALIZE. BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS, IN INFINITY NO FUTURIST COULD
EVEN BEGIN TO CONCEIVE: THE GLORY AND WONDER OF THE WORLD TO
COME!

14
Mystery of the Church of the Living God – Volume I

NO REVERED MYSTICS OF THE ORIENT, OF PROFOUNDEST DISCERNING,


WOULD CONDESCEND TO EVER GLIMPSE INTO THESE EVERLASTING
PROMISES AND VERITIES AS THE TRUE REALITY. NO PHILOSOPHERS OF THE
WEST, OF MOST RESPECTED REPUTE AND KEENEST INTELLECT, COULD
RATIONALIZE THESE UNDENIABLE ABSOLUTES. NO WORLD RENOWNED
SCIENTIST OF SHARPEST ACUITY IN EVERY AGE COULD MEASURE NEITHER
QUANTIFY, LET ALONE QUALIFY: THE AWESOME MARVELS OF THE MIND
AND WISDOM OF GOD, HIS EVERLASTING MERCY, AND HOW, BY HIS
WORD AND COMMAND, THE WHOLE UNIVERSE CAME TO BE.

THESE PIERCING INVISIBLE PRINCIPLES AND INVIOLABLE EDICTS, THESE


DECREES AND EXPRESSIONS OF DIVINE WILL DRAWN FROM THE HOLY WRIT
SET INTO THESE WORDS AND SPOKEN TO YOU ARE SPIRIT, AND THEY ARE
LIFE.

THESE ARE SENT FOR YOU AND TO YOU. THEY SHALL NOT RETURN TO
THE DIVINE AND HOLY ONE THAT SENT THEM EMPTY, NEITHER VOID.
THE ORDAINED PURPOSE FOR WHICH THEY WERE SENT WILL BE FULFILLED.
THIS IS THE INVIOLATE WILL OF GOD.

FINALLY, THE MEANING OF MEANING, WHICH ANSWER HAS BEEN SOUGHT


FOR AGES, CAN NOW BE UNDERSTOOD. THIS, NO WALKING AVATAR BEFORE,
TODAY, AND HEREAFTER EVER DID, AS CRYSTAL CLEAR, EVER LOGICALLY
EXPLAIN, OR COULD, CONFIDENTLY, TRUTHFULLY PROCLAIM. NO SCHOLAR
OF DEEPEST RESEARCH COULD THE GLORIOUS TRUTH EVER FOUND. NO
HISTORIAN OF THE PROFOUNDEST BREADTH AND DEPTH COULD EVER FULLY
UNDERSTAND AND TO ORDINARY LAYMAN EXPOUND, LEAST OF ALL: WHY
HISTORY KEEPS REPEATING ITSELF: THE SHOCKING TRUE STORY OF
HOW THE FAMILY OF MAN TURNED BACK AND DEPARTED FROM THE
PRESENCE OF GOD FROM THE BEGINNING AND WENT THEIR WAY.
MAN’S PROUD WAY. MAN’S DEFIANT DUALIZED THOUGHTS FROM
DUALIZED MINDS. MAN’S FLAWED, STUBBORN WILL. MAN’S VAIN
WORKS. ALL UNDER THE SWAY OF SATAN THE DEVIL, FOR SIX
THOUSAND YEARS. IN ALL ITS ENTIRETY. THAT IT MUST NOW COME
TO AN END. TOTALLY UPROOTED. FULLY BURNED UP. AND THE 1,000
YEARS OF GLORIOUS CIVILIZATION UNDER THE ETERNAL CREATOR
GOD AND HIS KINGDOM MUST SOON BEGIN!

THE HIGHEST HEIGHTS IN THE ENTIRE COSMOS TAUGHT BY THE MOST


ACCOMPLISHED YOGI, THE ENLIGHTENED GURU, THE REVERED MASTER, THE
HONORED EARTHLY PATRIARCHS OF ALL RELIGIOUS FAITHS, THE FOREMOST
NEW AGE UTOPIAN DREAMERS. THE WORSHIPPED SHAMANS, HAVE THEIR
LIMITED CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MIND AND SPIRIT ROVING AND
REVOLVING IN THE MYSTICAL AND SECULAR REALM AND FAINT LIGHT OF THE
SURROUNDING CREATED EXISTING COSMOS. ALL OF THESE WHO HAVE LED
MANKIND FOR SIX THOUSAND YEARS SEE THE COLLECTIVE RESULT. THE

15
Mystery of the Church of the Living God – Volume I

FINAL BOTTOMLINE. THE REPEATING CYCLES OF THE RISE AND FALL OF


CIVILIZATIONS WITHOUT FAIL. YOU SEE IT YOURSELF. BLESSED ARE YOU,
FOR ALL OF THESE HAVE LONGED TO KNOW AND SEE WHAT YOU NOW READ
AND HOLD IN YOUR HANDS, AND COULD NOT, AND HAVE NOT!

FOR THESE ARE DELIVERED FROM ABOVE BEYOND THE DEFINED BORDERS
OF THE CREATED UNIVERSE. NOW REVEALED, AND MADE KNOWN FROM THE
DIVINE DIMENSION OF UNAPPROACHABLE LIGHT WHERE THE EVERLASTING
GOD DWELLS.

NOW ALL THESE TERRESTRIAL HIGH THINGS MUST CEDE AND YIELD
TO THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD WHICH
UNVEILS THE FULL PANOPLY OF THE DEEP THINGS OF GOD AND THE
GLORIOUS HEAVENLY TRUTH THAT SETS MAN FREE. FREE FROM
SPIRITUAL CAPTIVITY. LIBERATED FROM SPIRITUAL BONDAGE BY
THE WICKED ONE, “THE GREAT DRAGON…THAT OLD SERPENT,
CALLED THE DEVIL, AND SATAN, WHICH DECEIVETH THE WHOLE
WORLD,” (REV. 12:9, 10; 20:3, 10).

READ THIS THEN. SKIM IT NOT.

REREAD IT. SLOWLY, IF YOU WILL. AT YOUR OWN PACE.

FOCUS FOR A TIME. ONE PART AT A TIME.

MEDITATE ON THESE IN YOUR MORNINGS.

CONTEMPLATE ON IT AT NOON.

DWELL UPON THESE IN THE EVENTIDES.

THEN LINK THEM UP FOR THEY FIT PERFECTLY WELL.

THEN YOU WILL SEE THE WONDERFUL WHOLE.

THERE IS NO TIME LIMITATION.

THERE IS NO ONE TO PUSH YOU ON.

AND DO PRAY. THE ANCIENT PROPHET DANIEL, ERSTWHILE PRESIDENT OF


ALL THE GOVERNORS OF THE KINGDOM OF BABYLON, UNDER KING
NEBUCHADNEZZAR, OF THE GREATEST EMPIRE IN HISTORY, PRAYED THREE
TIMES A DAY. IT WAS THE KEY TO HIS AWESOME SUCCESS. YOU,
ALSO, COULD.

NOW IT IS IN YOUR HANDS. IT IS YOURS. CHERISH IT AS UNTO A TREASURE


PRICELESS BEYOND COUNTING. FOR NOW, THE TRUE RICHES AND THE

16
Mystery of the Church of the Living God – Volume I

SECRET OF IMMORTALITY IS IN YOUR HANDS, IT HAS ARRIVED IN YOUR


LIFE. AT LAST! NOW SEIZE IT. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER LET IT GO!

THE GIVEROF LIFE AND LIGHT SENDS THIS DIVINE BEAM. THIS
SACRED FIRE. THIS HOLY TORCH. TO ENTER YOUR MIND'S EYE. INTO
YOUR INNERMOST BEING. INTO THE WHOLE FABRIC OF YOU, A LIVING SOUL.
FOR YOUR INEVITABLE UNDERSTANDING. AT YOUR OWN PACE. ONLY
BETWEEN YOU AND HiM. IS THIS NOT WONDERFUL?

WHEN THE TIME AND MOMENT OF YOUR ILLUMINATION COMES, YOU WOULD
KNOW. FOR THE TOTAL BRIGHTNESS IN YOUR SPLENDID VISION OF LIFE AND
THE SPIRIT MAGNIFIES AND EXPANDS BEYOND MEASURE. FOR NOW IN THIS
TIME IT WILL FILL YOU. YOUR SPIRITUAL VESTMENTS ARE NOW IN YOUR
HANDS. YIELD. WEAR IT INSIDE OF YOU. PUT IT ON OUTSIDE OF YOU!
YOUR SPIRITUALLY DEAD STATE QUICKENS AT THAT MOMENT WITH
CELESTIAL POWER THE LIKE OF WHICH YOU HAVE NEVER KNOWN.

MAY YOU BE TRULY BLESSED MORE AND MORE, AS YOU ALREADY ARE.

MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

PREFACE
T he amazing story of mankind is stored in a big part in the
storied chronicles of the churches of mankind. Whether they
be in quaint little villages. Charming towns. Cities of whatever
size and configuration.
There the churches
have been formed. From the proverbial mustard seed, in most
cases. And they grew in size and form along with the growth
and size of their place of residence and locale. In many, there
are but a few churches, and small number of members. In a
few, there is the one dominant big church of numerous
members, surrounded by low-profile other churches with
different names, and small numbers of members.

The traditions of men have been cultivated and formed in the


churches originally formed. Homegrown, these traditions are
loved. The people in them stick to them, and protect it with
their lives and fortunes. Thereby, they hate, and are repelled
by, tradition-breakers.

The traditions they derived from their sacred scriptures are


kept by them with much awe. Much reverence. With fidelity.
And loyalty. The tradition they
received from their forefathers. That went down from
generation to generation. The latter are held in cultic affection.
They live and die for these traditions.

And so the saying: “What’s good enough for my father, and his
father before him. is good enough for me.”

27
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

They have traditionally wedded their homegrown traditions


with the faith they believed was derived from their holy
scriptures that they have agreed to use. Whether personally, or
as a church. As an assembly, or a congregation, of like-minded
believers in the worship of their chosen deity, god, or gods..

They have embellished their assemblies, presided by their


chosen religious leaders. They are seen garbed in
extraordinary vestments, that seems holy to them. They carry
out their religious services with solemn rites and emblems.
They intone memorized prayers in numbers of times. They use
organs played with solemn sounds. With lofty notes of music.
With stirring hymns.

So, beware, if you would be one who would dare! Your


MESSAGE AND THE TRUTH YOU BEAR AND BRING
OUGHT TO BE, AND MUST BE, THE REAL TRUTH. Lest
you come in bearing nebulous doctrines. And cause to fall
many to the ditch of spiritual confusion and destruction.

This duality is intrinsically, even tacitly, believed and retained,


in all the churches.

They devised this dichotonomous arrangement. For they live


as mortals, flesh and blood, born of women. The demands and
necessities of their continued survival, their being, and their
living, forced them to do so. They learned, over time, how to
master this dual skill, almost schizophrenic approach in their
mind and being.

For is not man a reasoning, thinking one (animal, to vocal


evolutionists and majority of published scientists. Human, to
majority of the others)?

28
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

Religion and church are intertwined from way back in ancient


times.

The community of believers throughout the ages generally


fellowship with each other, particularly those that share the
same body of beliefs, and traditions.

Hence, the arising and existence today of myriad


denominations called churches.

{Today’s freedom of religion, attained with the sacrifice, blood, sweat, and tears of those
who bravely fought for it in the religious wars, has its blessings and upside. The downside
comes when the believers are misled and deceived by charismatic men who profess to be
chosen by God. The long term harm this kind of false teachings by false teachers, however
sincere, is incalculable}

They diverged over time. They were influenced by dominant


personalities who imposed their claimed revelations. Their
claimed visions. And men looking for leaders and a hope that
comes with it, went and followed these. They gave this, or that,
one their allegiance. Their devotion. Along with their fortune.
They were deceived by these alleged deliverers. False messiahs.
False prophets. They were swept by these militant charlatans,
pied pipers, and verbose speakers. Swept by their charisma.
Spellbound by their thespian talents.

Over time, as they became multitude, they became adversaries.


Each side willed to impose their persuasions to others.

They went and formed different manners of worship, and


believed in myriad gods. These insisted their god is God. And
they adapted nomenclatures to establish their different identity
from the others, now competitors and rivals.

They built architectural structures to fellowship and worship


in.

29
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

They called them chapels. Cathedrals. Basilica. Temples.


Tabernacles. Mosques. Minstrels. Houses of worship.
Synagogues. And more.

IS THERE A ONE TRUE CHURCH?

There could only be one Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.


And He built His Church. This be the household of GOD.

It has been two millennia. His Church has been persecuted


thru all that twenty centuries. Continual hateful, vicious,
violent attempts to extinguish it has come, and gone. And will
return. Till the very return of the Lord Jesus Christ. The
adversary, Satan, the devil, that old dragon, never stops. Along
with his wicked minions.
Espionage and
infiltration has been used.
Pre-meditated
takeover, and watering down of all the true doctrines of God,
even denying them altogether, has been made.
The Church that
Jesus, the Christ of God, built, thru the truly faithful and true
believers and practitioners of good courage, carries on. Though
the spiritual path remains narrow, and few be they that were
willing to walk therein.

He said: “The gates of hell (DEATH, GRAVE) shall not prevail


against it,”, (Gospel Book of Matthew 16:18-19). IT DID NOT. AND IS
ALIVE TODAY!

THE WONDERFUL STORY


MUST BE TOLD
THIS SACRED GOLDEN SCROLL SERIES IS THE AMAZING,
REALLY SPELLBINDING, TRULY ENLIGHTENING STORY OF
THE TRUE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD, AND OF CHRIST.
THE STORY WAS NOT
DONE IN A CORNER. AS A MATTER OF FACT, ALL HISTORY IS
WITNESS THAT THE ONE WHO FOUNDED AND BUILT THE
CHURCH OF GOD OF THE NEW TESTAMENT WAS PUBLICLY
HOUNDED, FALSELY ACCUSED, OPENLY TORTURED, MADE
TO CARRY A WOODEN CROSS. AND FINALLY HANGED, SHED
HIS PRECIOUS LIFEBLOOD, AND DIED IN THE SIGHT OF MEN
AND WOMEN WITNESSES, ON CALVARY, A HIGH PLACE OF
ROCK IN JERUSALEM.

THE DETERMINED ADVERSARY OF GOD’S HEIRS OF


SALVATION, CALLED SATAN. THE INVISIBLE DEVIL, AND HIS
MALIGNANT, SIMILARLY INVISIBLE, DEMONS AND WICKED
SPIRITS,, HAVE CEASELESSLY TRIED TO EXTINGUISH THE
SPIRITUAL BODY OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST,
AS
HE HAS CAUSED HIS PHYSICAL BODY TO BE
MURDERED AND HANGED ON A TREE, A ROMAN
CROSS, ON CALVARY.

THE GOD OF HEAVEN NOW SPEAKS TO BRIGHTLY


SHINE, TO MOST POWERFULLY RADIATE THE
ILLUMINATING LIGHT OF THE TRUTH OF THE CHURCH
OF THE LIVING GOD, THE PILLAR AND BULWARK
OF THE TRUTH, TO ALL THE PEOPLES OF THE
EASTERN HEMISPHERE.

PROLOGUE

THE MYSTERY OF THE


CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD

M ILLIONS, IN THEIR HUNDREDS OF TEN THOUSANDS, OF


BELIEVERS HAVE COME TO ACCEPT THAT THEY MUST JOIN A
CHURCH.

There is fellowship there. Other fellow human beings are there. A


congregation of like-minded believers are there. There, friendships are
made. Families get together. Weddings celebrated. Fond memories are
remembered. Essentially, most everyone believes that salvation is
obtained or received thru the church.

IS THIS TRUE? THAT THEY MUST JOIN A CHURCH?

CAN YOU JOIN THE TRUE CHURCH OF GOD?

Today, there are hundreds of millions of human beings, two


billion plus, all told, who profess the Christian faith, and are
called Christians. Christianity, as a religion, is embraced by

33
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

more than one third of mankind, All these profess the Name of
Jesus Christ.

All these claim to the worship of, and allegiance to, GOD.
And about two-thirds of the religious of mankind are
connected thru the bloodlines of the patriarch Abraham,
father of many nations, called the father of the faithful, (Epistle
to the Romans 4:16-18).

THE BOOK IN TWO VOLUMES

This Sacred Golden Scroll Series XCI Is a big book of twenty


four truth-laden chapters. So it will come in two volumes.

There are two levels of the Church of the Living God:

1. The VISIBLE congregation, composed of mortals, born of


woman, flesh and blood. They bear the NAME OF THE
FATHER: GOD. SO Church of God. Christ asked His Father
so, (Gospel Book of John 17:11). Yet they are the churches of
Christ, (First Epistle to the Corinthians 11:16).

First Part, or Level 1 – The physical listed members who bear


the SIGN: SABBATH KEEPING, or they are called Sabbath
KEEPERS. And TEN COMMANDMENTS KEEPERS.
THAT IS THE LETTER OF THE LAW.

Second Part, or Level 2 – The Spirit of the Church of the


Living God, pillar and ground (bulwark) of the truth. They
live in, by, and with, the Spirit of the Law of Love, because

34
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

they are baptized, laid-hands on Spirit-begotten, converted,


children of God, (Book of Acts 6:6; 8:17).

> They are meek. They are humble. They are peacemakers.

> Their very conduct reflects the Spirit of God in them.

> The fruit of the Spirit is manifested in their love, faith,


hope, gentleness and tenderness, in their peace and calm
demeanor, goodness, patience, and in their righteousness,
humility and meekness, temperance and moderation, in word, in
thought, and in deed, (Epistle to the Galatians 5:22-23) Not
for their own glory. But giving credit, tribute, and all for the
glory, praise, and honor of God. John 15:2; Eph.
5:9; Col. 3:12

> The essence. The substance, of the Church of God. The


spirits are subject to them, and their names are listed – written
in heaven, (Gospel Book of Luke 10:20), as they written in
the Book of Life, (Epistle to the Philippians 4:3).

> They are not self-righteous, neither vain, about their calling
and profession, but dwell among the earth’s inhabitants, their
neighbors and fellowmen, in true humility, in a spirit of
harmony.
> They never give the
impression that the rest of mankind is left out, condemned to
everlasting hell. Such an idea is absolutely untrue. Most
certainly ungodly. A deceiving lie by deceived persons,
unscrupulously passing out deceitful, diabolical, cruel lies and
doctrines of devils.

For God our Saviour wants all men to be saved and to come to
the knowledge of the truth, (First Epistle to Timothy 2:3-4).
God wants everyone everywhere to repent.

35
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

The truth is revealed in this Sacred Golden Scroll.


>
They seek to be of helpful service to them continually. They
live in the righteousness of God. They abide both by the visible,
codified letter, and in the spirit, of the Ten Commandments of
God (LOVE), (Books of Exodus 20:1-17; Deuteronomy 10:13;
10:4) which are holy, just and good, (Epistle to the Romans
7:12). They are, indeed, a peculiar people, in the true meaning
of the word, as the Holy Scriptures so defined, (Book of
Deuteronomy 14:2; 26:18; First Epistle Peter 2:9).

THIS DEFINES AND BARES THE IDENTITY, AND THE


MEANING, OF THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE MYSTERY,
(Epistle to the Ephesians 3:9).

Chapter One

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE


CHURCH OF GOD

BEFORE YOU PROCEED:

36
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

Of utmost, even foremost, importance, you must understand


the real truth about the Church. In many ways, it is opposite to
what many believe what the Church is, and what it is all about.

BE FOREWARNED.

Yes, there is the Church that Jesus built.


And as Christ designed it to be, it is the Family
of God on earth, (Epistle to the Ephesians 3:13-14).
SO IT IS WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD
SO BELIEVE.

There are a number of many other things about


the Church of God that now you must understand.

> As it is called “ekklesia” in the original Greek, it


means “called out ones”.

> It is also called the Body of Christ, (Epistle to


the Ephesians 1:22-23), of which He is the Head. The

Body has many members, everyone members


of one another, (Epistle to the Romans 12:5; First
Corinthians 12:14). ! Cor 12;12; Eph 4:16

SO IT IS WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF GOD SO BELIEVE.

37
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

> The Church has a name. It is called ‘CHURCH


OF GOD”. (Twelve scriptures of the New
Testament Scriptures give the name: Church of
God). {WHAT’S IN A NAME?} In two places,
it is called the Churches of Christ, (Epistles to the Romans
16:16; First to the Corinthians 11:15), because He built it. {see page
).
SO IT IS WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF GOD SO
BELIEVE.

> The Church is described, metaphorically, as a


woman. (Woman in the wilderness to be kept safe
from the great tribulation, (Book of Revelation 12: 1-2, 5-6, 16-17).
SO IT IS WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF GOD SO
BELIEVE.

> The Church is claimed and pronounced by the


Lord Jesus Christ as His Bride. To be kept
pure. And spotless, prepared for her Wedding
with the Bridegroom, Jesus Christ, (Book of
Revelation 21:2, 9).
SO IT IS WRITTEN. SO THE CHURCH OF GOD
BELIEVES.

> The Church is described as a spiritual organism.


It is composed of visible physical human
members. They become the spiritual congregation
of the saints, spirit-begotten, children of God,
38
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

and led by the Spirit of God, hence, sons of


God, recipient of the Spirit of adoption, (Epistle to the
Romans 8:14-15).

THEY WERE CARNAL AND SECULAR, BEFORE THEY BECAME


SPIRITUAL, AND SPIRIT-LED MEMBERS OF THE BODY OF CHRIST, THEY
WERE THE LIVING, WALKING DEAD. NOTE: ALL OF IT IN THE PAST
TENSE. THEY WERE ALIENS IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF
ISRAEL.WITHOUT HOPE. WITHOUT GOD IN THE WORLD. THEY WERE
NOT PART OF THE COVENANTS OF PROMISE. THEY WERE WILD
GRAPES, SO SPEAK, (Epistle to the Ephesians 2:1, 5, 11-14).

NOW, AS ADOPTED CHILDREN OF GOD, ALL SINS FORGIVEN, THEY ARE


MADE PURE. IN THE PRESENT TENSE, CONTUOUSLY.
THERE IS NO MORE CONDEMNATION. BY CONTINUAL REPENTANCE,
THEY ARE EVER MADE CONTINUALLY NEW. EVERGREEN, SO TO
SPEAK, (Epistle to the Romans 8:1).
SO IT WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD
SO BELIEVES.

> The doctrines of


GOD, and the Lord Jesus Christ are
proclaimed and practiced in, and by, the Church
of God.
SO IT IS WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF GOD SO BELIEVE.

THE MASTERPLAN OF CREATION OF


THE IMMORTAL SONS OF GOD
> They carry the sign that they are GOD’s

39
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

people, and that GOD is their God, and that is the


SEVENTH DAY SABBATH, (Books of Exodus 31:13, 17;
20:8; Leviticus 19:3, 30; of the prophet Ezekiel 20:12,
20).

> And the Annual SABBATHS, The Feast Days of


The LORD. (Book of Leviticus 23:1-4). Which they
faithfully observe and joyfully keep, either as
individually, or in joint fellowship of the Church
of the Living GOD. Week after week. Year after
year. For all their lives, as they draw breath.

THE SUBJECTS – ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH


ARE JUST AS WEAK AND UNFULFILLED. MADE TO PURSUE
GOALS AND RUN AFTER EMPTY DREAMS. ALL VANITY,
AND RUNNING AFTER WIND.

So as they remember to observe and keep the


Sabbaths, WEEKLY, AND TRI-ANNUALLY, of
God, these became emblazoned in the believer and
practitioner’s heart and mind, and whole being. A
fulfillment of God’s promise of a new covenant
with the spiritual commonwealth of spirit-
begotten Israel (composed of both spirit-begotten
Jews and Gentiles) that He will write His Law of
Love written in their hearts in the end of days,
(Book of the prophet Jeremiah 31:33; Epistle to the Hebrews
8:10).

> THESE ANNUAL SABBATHS AND WEEKLY


SABBATHS ARE FEAST DAYS OF THE LORD

40
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

ORDAINED FROM CREATION WHEN THE


ETERNAL GOD PLACED THE SUN AND MOON IN
THEIR FIXED ORBITS AS DIVINE MARKERS OF
TIME AND CYCLICAL SEASONS OF THE DIVINE
FESTIVALS OF THE LORD GOD FOR MANKIND,
(Book of Genesis 1:14).
14 “And God said, “Let there be lights in the
firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night;
and let them be for signs, and for seasons*, and
for days, and years.”
-----------------------------------------------
*seasons – Strong’s # 4150 Heb. >> mowadah >>
an appointed time, feast (appointed), (place of)) solemn
assembly, festival, congregation, meeting convened for a
definite purpose.

The LORD God revealed to the people of Israel,


whom He took out of Egypt from their slavery for
450 years, thru His human instrument Moses,
what those FEAST DAYS OF GOD ARE in the
Book of Leviticus chapter 23.

The Lord Jesus Christ came from heaven and


made manifest in to a human being, flesh and blood,
born of a woman, the virgin Mary. He kept those Feast
Days, together with his twelve disciples, whom He later
turned into his twelve apostles. He came to set the
example to them. To the end that His believers,
followers and practitioners of the Faith He once

41
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

delivered to them, may FOLLOW IN HIS STEPS,


(Gospel Book of John 13:15; First Epistle of Peter 2:21).

Outwardly and inwardly, the SIGN BETWEEN


GOD AND HIS PEOPLE becomes permanently
established, and ratified, so to speak. IT SINKS
INTO THE INNERMOST BEING. INDELIBLE.
ENGRAVED. It becomes part of their nature, not
second nature. Keeping and observing His perfect
spiritual laws of love and commandments which
are holy and good becomes automatic, and all
done in perfect, joyful attitude, obedience, and
enthusiasm. SO IT IS
WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF GOD SO
BELIEVE.

> This sign that they are God’s called out, and
Christ’s chosen people, is one of most solemn and
sacred calling and responsibility. It does not make
of them spiritually high and mighty. Neither more
holy than their neighbor, or any one. Rather, they
are sanctified. Meaning >> set apart to fulfill
God’s holy purpose for them. It does confers upon
them the responsibility to live exemplary lives as
they follow the example of the Lord Jesus Christ,
and from that mirror, they shine.

42
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

>.To become the light of the world. And be the salt


of the earth.

> They are servants and spirit-begotten children


of God, and servants to mankind, for their
fellowmen’s welfare and good being. Not to get.
Only in a spirit of giving.

> Thus, whenever they observe and keep the Holy


Seventh-day Sabbath, and the
Holy Annual Sabbaths, three times a year, they
hold forth the Divine Sign of their sanctification.

The rest of mankind may refuse to do so, and


observe and keep their own sabbaths, and their
own feast days, apart from what the Holy
Scriptures reveal, (Book of the prophet Isaiah 1:13-`14).
The world calls them holidays, and festival, or
feast, of this and that saint, or saints.

> THESE WEEKLY AND ANNUAL SABBATHS


REVEAL THE FRAMEWORK OF GOD’S
MASTERPLAN OF CREATION OF THE
IMMORTAL SONS OF GOD.

> THIS IS OUTLINED IN THE TWELVE PHASES


OF THE SPIRITUAL PROCESS OF SALVATION.
(Refer to the Divine Charter of Immortality).

43
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

> GOD HAS DESIGNED THESE TWELVE PHASES,


WHICH CULMINATES IN BEING BORN AGAIN,
BORN OF THE SPIRIT, INTO THE FAMILY, AND
KINGDOM, OF GOD.

> THE FINAL POINT IS THE MOMENT OF


SALVATION – OF BEING TRANSFORMED FROM
MORTAL TO IMMORTAL SON, AND CHILD OF
GOD. THAT IS THE VERY ACTUAL MOMENT OF
SALVATION, BORN OF FAITH AND THE GRACE
OF GOD >>>>o<<<< AND THE RECEIVING OF
THE GIFT OF EVERLASTING LIFE, (Epistle to the
Ephesians 2:8).

> THIS IS FOLLOWED BY THE RECEIVING OF


THE REWARD AND A CROWN OF LIFE BORNE
OF ALL THE GOOD WORKS AND DEEDS DONE IN
THE SERVICE AND LOVE OF GOD BY GOOD
WORKS, (Epistle to the Ephesians 2:10).

> THE REST OF THE WORLD OF RELIGION, OR


IN ALL CHRISTIANITY OF TWO BILLION
BELIEVERS DENY THESE HOLY DAYS AND THE
TRI-ANNUAL SABBATHS.

HENCE, SALVATION TO THEM IS GOING TO


HEAVEN BY THEIR “IMMORTAL” SOUL.

QUESTION NOT BEING ASKED:


IF THE SOUL IS IMMORTAL ALREADY, INSIDE
OF THE MAN OR WOMAN WHO DIED, WHAT IS

44
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

THERE THE NEED TO BE SAVED INTO


IMMORTALITY IN HEAVEN?
QUITE IMPOSSIBLE TO EXPLAIN. IT IS THE
PERFECT CONTRADICTION THEY CALL A
“MYSTERY”.

TO THE HIGHEST RELIGIOUS HIERARCHY, IF IT


IS A MYSTERY, IT CAN NOT BE EXPLAINED.. “IT
MUST NOT BE EXPLAINED. BECAUSE IT CAN
NOT BE EXPLAINED.” IS THE SIMPLISTIC
ANSWER GIVEN TO THE SEEKERS OF TRUE
ANSWERS.

> They constitute the spiritual team of laborers in


GOD’S VINEYARD, of which the FATHER IS
THE HUSBANDMAN and CHRIST IS THE VINE,
(Gospel Book of John 15:1). They work for the same
end-time reward, (Gospel Book of Matthew 20:1, 2, 8), when the
Lord Jesus Christ returns and carries His reward
with Him, (Book of the prophet Isaiah 40:10-11; 62:11-
12). THEY ALSO ARE THE BRANCHES OF THE VERY
VINE, JESUS THE CHRIST OF GOD, (Gospel Book
of John 15:1, 5).

SO IT IS WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF GOD


SO BELIEVES.

> They KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS (The


Ten Commandments of God, {Books of Exodus 20:1-

45
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

26; Deuteronomy 4:13; 10:4}, AND BEAR THE


TESTIMONY OF JESUS CHRIST, (Book of Revelation
12:17>>>>o<<<< Book of the prophet Isaiah 8:16, 20).
Gen 3:15; ch 11:7
{NOTE; MANKIND, FROM ADAM AND EVE, THE FIRST CREATED HUMAN FAMILY, AND
THEIR OFFSPRINGS AND ALL THROUGHOUT THEIR GENERATIONS, TILL TODAY,
WERE IN REBELLION AGAINST THEIR ETERNAL CREATOR GOD , AND HIS
HOLY COMMANDMENTS. REBELLION IS PRONOUNCED AS THE SIN OF WITCHCRAFT,
ALONG WITH THE INIQUITY OF STUBBORNESS AND IDOLATRY, (First Book of the prophet
Samuel 15:23). Consequently, all have sinned, (Epistle to the Romans 3:23; 5:12). The
penalty of death hangs over every unrepented sinner, (Romans 18:23).

GOD IS LOVE, (First Epistle of John 4:8, 16).


THEREBY, THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD ARE THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS OF LOVE. THE
COMMANDMENTS ARE HOLY, JUST, AND GOOD, (Epistle
to the Roams 7:12).

SO IT IS WRITTEN. THE CHIURCH OF GOD SO


BELIEVE.

> They manifest the FOREMOST IRREFUTABLE


PROOF, THE TOPMOST EVIDENCE, THE VERY
FRUIT, that they are the called-out, chosen, and
elected disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ,
because they truly, and deeply, and sincerely,
without dissimulation and hypocrisy, LOVE ONE
ANOTHER, and so manifesting, the world of man
shall, indeed, know, (Gospel Book of John 13:35). THIS
IS THE VERY ESSENCE OF THEIR RELIGION AND
LIVING FAITH.

THEREFORE ALL WHO SAY THAT THE LAW OF THE


TEN COMMANDMENTS IS LEGALISM, A BURDEN, A
BALL OF CHAIN, ARE LIARS. THE HOLY SCRIPTURES

46
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

PRONOUNCE: THE TRUTH IS NOT IN THEM, (Book of


the prophet Isaiah 8:16. 20).

SO IT IS WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING


GOD SO BELIEVE.

> The Church has a specific purpose in being


built by Jesus Christ.
What is it?
Is it a distinct
spiritual purpose, using physical tools, in and by
the hands of flesh and blood mortals, born of
women, as well as spiritual tools, to proceed to do,
perform, and complete the job, to ultimately
accomplish the spiritual purpose?

THE SPIRITUAL PERFECTION OF MAN

The total completion and spiritual perfection of


man, to the measure of the fullness of Christ, is
made possible ONLY in the Church of the Living
God, for it is the PILLAR of the ONLY TRUTH,
(Epistle to the Ephesians 4:13). IN ANY OTHER PLACE, IT IS
THE MIXTURE OF TRUTH AND ERROR, OF THE BLENDING OF
THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL THAT WAS RECEIVED
AND INGESTED IN THE REBELLION OF ADAM AND EVE IN
THE GARDEN OF EDEN. THIS, THEY PASSED ON TO THE
HUMAN RACE, TILL TODAY.

47
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

THE HUMAN FAMILY THROUGHOUT THE AGES OF MAN’S


GENERATIONS WERE INCUBATED, AS IT WERE, IN THE
WOMB OF DUAL VALUES: KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL.
TRUTH AND ERROR. GOODNESS AND WICKEDNESS. TRUTH

THE HUMAN DILEMMA


CHRIST’S APOSTLE

ANGST, AND A SENSE OF HELPLESSNESS:
“O wretched man that I am. Who will deliver me from the
body of this death?”, (read all of >>>> Epistle to the
Romans 47:14-24).

SO IT IS WRITTEN. SO THE CHURCH OF GOD SO


BELIEVE.

> It is the ONLY FOUNTAIN OF PERFECT


KNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTANDING, and WISDOM that is
not stained, neither defiled, nor polluted by the
knowledge and practice of both good, and evil.
THIS IS THE ONLY ISSUE THAT REALLY MATTERS.

SO IT IS WRITTEN, THE CHURCH OF GOD SO BELIEVE.

> The perfect parallel of the Body called the


Church of God is the human body. Of the body,
the Psalmist David exclaimed: “FOR I AM
FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE!”

48
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

The human body is alive and animated. So is the


Church. BOTH PERFECTLY AND
WONDERFULLY MADE BY THE SAME
CREATOR AND BUILDER, (Book of Psalms 100:3; 139:14;
Gospel Book of Matthew 16:18).

> The members thereof were pre-destinated to be


called. So were the members of the human body
foreordained to be so, before they were ever made,
and came to be, (Book of Psalms 139:16-17; Epistle to
the Ephesians 1:4).
SO IT IS WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF GOD SO BELIEVE.

> The members of the Family of God on earth, the


household of God, must dwell together in harmony, and
unity, (Book of Psalms 133:1; Epistle to the Ephesiansn4:3, 13). If they
must walk together, they must have mutual agreement,
(Book of the prophet Amos 3:3).

> The Church of God is ONE BODY with many


members, (First Epistle to the Corinthians 12:13).

> The Church of God, of Christ, has ONE God, and


FATHER of all, (Epistle to the Ephesians 4:4. 5, 6).

> One Faith. One Hope. One Baptism, (Eph 4:5).

> One Lord and Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ (First
Epistle to the Corinthians 8:6).

49
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

> One Spirit, the Holy Spirit of Power, (Epistles to the


Ephesians 2:18; to the Philippians 1:7).

> ONE BODY OF BELIEFS AND DOCTRINES.


Speaking one word, THE WORD OF GOD.

> ONE CHURCH NAME:: CHURCH OF GOD, OF


CHRIST.

> ONE COMMISSION: TO PROCLAIM >>>> TO


PREACH BY THE SPOKEN WORD, AND TO
PUBLISH, BY THE PRINTED WORD, THE GOSPEL
OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

> ONE GOVERNMENT OF GOD

The governments of men govern as overlords over the


citizens. The system is a hierarchy of ranks. A pyramid.
From the top >>>> down. Both in their armies. Of
unbending, stern authority, strict discipline, and strong
command. Of harsh punishment. In their business
organizations. And in their churches. IT IS ALL
ABOUT POWER. To control others. And the power to
control, and allocate and disburse the financial
resources, or money, and assets, of the organization.
Whether it be of civil government, or business, or
religious.

In the Church of God, the greatest among them is the


servant of all,

50
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

25 “But Jesus called them unto him, and said, ‘Ye know
that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over
them, and they that are great exercise authority over
them.
26 But it shall not be so among you but whosoever will be
great among you, let him be your minister; 1 Pet. 5:3

27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be


your servant, (Gospel Books of Matthew 20:25-27; 23:11;
Mark 10:43-44 ).

It is a government of caring and giving for the welfare


of the members of the household of God. The ultimate
standard and the bar is SPIRITUAL LOVE. Love one
to another. Members to one another.
Of loving-kindness. Humility, Of forgiving one another,
symbolically “seventy times seven.”

“And I will give unto thee the keys of the

KINGDOM OF GOD, Gospel means
‘good news,” (Gospel Books of Matthew 24:14; Mark 13:10).

> ONE SALVATION, THAT COMES BY BEING


BORN AGAIN INTO THE FAMILY, AND
KINGDOM, OF GOD, (Gospel Book of John chapter 3,
by being born again into the Family, and Kingdom,
of God, an immortal, spirit-born child of God).

> THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH OF GOD IS


THE SPIRITUAL MIRROR OF THE “CHURCH OF
GOD IN THE WILDERNESS”, (Book of Acts 7:37, 38).
The Old Testament “ekklesia” consisting of the people and nation of Israel, was
called out of, and from, Egypt, where they were slaves for more than four hundred
eighty years. (Book of First Kings 16:1), “Egypt” is the symbol of the prison house of
sin, or sin itself. The New Testament Church of God are called out of the bondage to
sin, their spiritual “Egypt”.

> IT IS THE CHURCH OF THE FIRST BORN.


(Epistle to the Hebrews 12:23).

> Together with the Name, CHURCH OF GOD, OF


CHRIST, the Church of God live a WAY OF LIFE. In
the very early days, they are known as the followers of
the Crucified and Resurrected Christ who lived, and
walked with God, in THE WAY, (Book of Acts 19:9, 23).
SO IT IS WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF THE
LIVING GOD SO BELIEVE.

> THEY WERE CALLED CHRISTIANS…

52
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

26 “And when he had found him, he brought him unto


Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they
assembled themselves with the church, and taught
much people. And the disciples were called Christians
first in Antioch,” (Book of Acts 11:26).
THE FIRST CENTURY DISCIPLES WERE KNOWN AS
CHRISTIANS, EVEN BY KINGS
27 “King Agrippa, believes thou the prophets? I know that thou
believest.
28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, ‘Almost thou persuadest me to
be a Christian,” (Book of Acts 26:27-28).
THE APOSTLE PETER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NAME FOR
THE TRUE DISCIPLES OF CHRIST
16 “Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed;
let him glorify God on his behalf,” (First Epistle of Peter
4:16).

which the steadfast believer and active doer may attain
and receive the spiritual power to grow, comprehend,
and to come to attain to the spiritual dimensions of
length, of depth, of height, and of width, (ref. ch. 1:18),
together with the saints; and finally, to know and
experience the love of Christ, which passes knowledge,
that you, the believer and practitioner, may be filled
with all the fullness of God, (Epistle to the Ephesians
3:18-19), unto a perfect man, to attain to the measure of
the stature, of the fullness of Christ, (Eph. 4:13).
SO IT IS WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF THE
LIVING GOD SO BELIEVE.

53
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT THE


CHURCH
You hear believers say: “They go to church.” Or, “They went to
church”.

And so it is generally, and traditionally, believed that they enter their


building of worship as the church. As proclaimed on the outside of the
building, the name of their church is drawn, either with sculpted letters
in metal, bronze or wood, or etched, engraved, or painted. Hence, their
place of worship is taken for granted as “the church.”

The right and correct way is to say: “They went to worship services.” (Of
the Church).

It really matters to be right about this issue.


When did those errant practices and traditions begin? It is quite foggy
when men try to look back to find out thru the dim mists of yore and
ancient time. What is practiced today are modern innovations and
added accepted ways that seemed pleasant, in the process of time.

To many others, over time, their particular church became as to an


exclusive club. An exclusive social gathering. And so, it came to be. And
in these practices, they became smug. And slowly adopted worldly
practices.

A religious leader in the large bloc of protestant believers observed


sadly: “WE HAVE NOT OVERCOME THE WORLD. WE WERE
OVERCOME BY THE WORLD.”

54
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

THE WAY TO WORSHIP


ACCEPTABLE TO GOD
The New Testament Church of God worshipped in the FORMAT of
Fellowship and Worship Services in the Congregation attended by:

> Saluting, or greeting, one another with a holy kiss, (Epistles


to the Romans 16:16; First Corinthians 16:20; Second
Corinthians 13:12; First Thessalonians 5:26; Kiss of
charity: First Peter 5:14).
> Fervent
Prayers. with all supplications, (First
Epistle to Timothy 2:1;
5:5; Epistle to the Hebrews 5:7). They PRAY, AND LIFT UP
THEIR HOLY HANDS WITHOUT DOUBTING, (First Epistle to
Timothy 2:8). Luke 23:34; Ps
134:2
> Singing of soulful
Psalms, vibrant Spiritual Songs of Praise, and stirring,
uplifting, ennobling Hymns, (Epistles to the Ephesians 5:19;
Colossians 3:16).

> With the skillful Playing and Use of Musical Instruments,


(see their names: Book of Psalms 149:3; 150:3, 4, 5).

> Interactive Communications of revelations, in an orderly


and decent manner, (First Epistle to the Corinthians
14:26).

> Consistent, continual PRAYERFUL Reading, and diligent


Spirit-guided Study, of the Holy Scriptures.
Like the Bereans did, who studied, and searched the
Scriptures daily, if these things were so, (Book of Acts 17:11).
> And sincere
Preaching by serving trained teachers (not novices, neither
neophytes), and service-oriented, able ministers who are
grounded in the Faith and in the Holy Scriptures. They who
labor in deep love for the everlasting Gospel, and the holy
brethren.

55
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

ALL THESE are


conducted for the edification of the Body, the Church of God,
(First Epistle to the Corinthians 14:40).

(Note: Clap your hands, Shout unto God with the voice of triumph,
(Book of Psalms 47:1); Dance is mentioned in the Book of Psalms
149:3).
THE CONGREGATION OF THE CHURCH, OR CHURCHES,
OF GOD ARE ENJOINED TO ASSEMBLE IN WORSHIP
SERVICES AND FELLOWSHIP.
23 “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering;
(for he is faithful that promised;) ch. 4:14; 1 Cor 1:9
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and
good works;
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the
manner of some is, but exhorting one another: and so much the
more, as ye see the day approaching,” (Epistle to the Hebrews
10:23-25).

IT STARTED FROM THE EARLIEST DAYS


IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE RESURRECTION OF THE
LORD JESUS CHRIST:
50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his
hands, and blessed them. Acts 1:12
51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted
from them, and carried up into heaven. Mark 16:19
52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with
great joy. Mat 28:9
53 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing
God. Amen.,” (Gospel Book of Luke 24:50-53)
Acts 2:48

THERE IS NEVER ANY VESTIGE OF FAMILIARITY.


ALWAYS OBERVED WITH JOY AND FERVENT ZEAL.

56
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

SO IT IS WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF THE


LIVING GOD, THE CHURCHES OF CHRIST, SO
BELIEVE.

WARNING AND REMINDER:

If NOT faithfully practiced and carefully observed as revealed in the


Holy Scriptures, the Head of the Church declares:

‘IN VAIN THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING FOR DOCTRINES THE


COMMANDMENTS OF MEN,” Thus, says the Lord Jesus Christ,
(Gospel Books of Matthew 15:7-9; Mark 7:7-9). For this
forthright declaration and pronouncements by the Master Builder of
the Church of God, of Christ, He was hated and vilified by the religious
leaders in His days in the flesh among men He created, (Gospel Book
of John 1:1).

WITH THE HOLY SCRIPTURES AS THE SOLE AND ONLY


GUIDE that we may truly know the real truth, this Sacred Golden
Scroll Series draws the whole, unvarnished, Truth from the Holy
Scriptures, both the Old, and New, Testament. This is in full reverent

”If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given to you ward: 3 How
that by revelation He made known unto me the mystery;…4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may
understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ. 5 Which in other ages was not made known
unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto His holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; 6
That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of the promise in
Christ by the gospel. 9 And to make known what is the FELLOWSHIP OF THE MYSTERY, which
is from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus
Christ: 10 To the intent that now unto the principalities, and powers in heavenly places might be
known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,” (Epistle to the Ephesians 3:3-10).

WHY ARE THERE MANY DIFFERENT


CHURCHES ON EARTH TODAY?

As many as the churches are, so is the story why and how they
started, many, and long.

It is in the nature of things that human beings are divided into


types and kinds.

 The following kind. THE FOLLOWER. THE


FOLLOWERS.

 And the leading kind. THE LEADER, “THE ONE”, as he


is often tagged in media and religious literature.

So long as there are followers who would rather follow


someone, just to sit back, and relax, there will always be a
leader, or leaders. Leaders who are supposed to lead by work,
and example. Not merely to have and to use the power of
authority and command. And end up using selected scriptures
to collect money from the followers and supporters.

The principle is true in the story of the Church. And over time
in the churches.

59
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

IT HAS COME DOWN TO THESE

The words and texts of the Holy Scriptures, or the Holy Bible,
are claimed to be the unexpurgated source of the articles of
faith and practice of their particular church.

A catch phrase here. A compound of words there. A single


word in that. Then a church is born. Just like that! It becomes
silly, indeed. For from then on, these latch on to their
particular word phrase as their banner slogan. IT IS
MAKING THE HOLY CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD
CHEAP, AND DRAGGED DOWN TO INSIGNIFICANT,
COLLOQUIAL LEVELS. EVEN IRRELEVANT.
DO NOT BE
DECEIVED BY ANY OF THESE. THESE NEVER-DO-
WELLS BLASPHEME GOD’S VERY NAME AND DIVINE
MAJESTY. HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THESE.

60
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

Chapter Two

NEVER AN IDLE WORD

36 But I say unto you, “That every idle word that men shall
speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou
shalt be condemned.” (Gospel Book of Matthew 12:36-37).

“Sanctify them thru thy truth: thy word is


truth,” (Gospel Book of John 17:17).
> It is important now to realize that all religious doctrinal
falsehoods, masquerading as Truth, but are lies, are idle
words. Every religious leader who proclaims false gospels,
which are idle words, will be held accountable before God in
the Day of Judgment. They are indicted by these very
declaration of the Creator of the human race, The Captain of
salvation, the Author and Finisher of the Faith, (Epistle to
the Hebrews 2:10; 12:2; Gospel Book of John 1:1-2).

> “Whatever is not of faith is sin,” (Epistle to the


Romans 14:23). Whatever it is that is not according to the
Faith once delivered to the saints, are practices of sin!
This condemns false religious faiths and man-invented
lawless and faithless religious practices and traditions.

THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT


THEY WERE DOING

61
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

Then said Jesus, “Father forgive them, for they know not
what they do,” (Gospel Book of Luke 23:34).

He came to die for the redemption of mankind. To heal the


human race. Afflicted by all manner of physical diseases and
its complications, and every type and kind of psycho-somatic
disorders.
In their inner man, in
their mind, heart, and spirits: Every, and all, manner, of
spiritual afflictions. including demon possessions, and serious
demon influences. The latter not being recognized by human
physicians and learned doctors.

> Why did mankind need to be redeemed?

The answer lies before that time of the need for humanity to be
redeemed.

> When GOD created the perfect and beautiful earth, it was
not meant to be ruined. It was created to be inhabited. That
original Earth was to be the dwelling place of mortal
inhabitants who will live, and later die, and later live by a
resurrection from the grave, to live forever in immortality.

1 “IN THE BEGINNING, GOD CREATED THE HEAVEN


AND THE EARTH, (Book of Genesis 1:1).

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?...


Ps 104:5; Prov 8:29
5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who hath
stretched the line upon it?
6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? Or who laid the
corner stone thereof?
7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted
for joy,” (Book of Job 38:4-7).

62
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

BEAUTIFUL PERFECT EARTH MADE TO BE


INHABITED

18 “For thus saith the LORD God that created the heavens: God
himself that formed the earth and made it: he hath established it,
he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am
the LORD, and there is none else,” (Book of the prophet Isaiah
45:18). verse 5
5 “Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens and
stretched them out: he that spread forth the earth, and that which
cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it,
and spirit to them that walk therein,” (ch. 42:5).

CONSEQUENCES OF SIN, BORNE OF IDLE


WORDS, IN THE HERE AND NOW
All of the family of
man burdened by the duality of their nature, passed on to
them from their first progenitor: the knowledge of
good and evil. Truth and error. Every time evil prevails
in their actions, they sin.
Every time their thoughts in error cause them to commit
deeds of disobedience, they sin. Every time they sin, death
comes hanging heavier over them.
“Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers hath
transgressed against me,” (Book of the prophet Isaiah 43:27).

ADAM, THE FIRST CREATED MORTAL, FLESH AND


BLOOD, AND PHYSICAL FATHER AND PROGENITOR,
OF ALL LIVING, SINNED AGAINST THE ETERNAL
CREATOR GOD. IN THE BEGINNING, IN ONE
MOMENT IN TIME AFTER HE WAS CREATED.

63
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

THE HOLY SCRIPTURES REMAIN SILENT AS TO


WHETHER HE REPENTED, OR NOT.
ALL THE TEACHERS
OF MEN THAT AROSE THROUGHOUT ALL THE
GENERATIONS OF MANKIND TILL TODAY HAVE
TRANSGRESSED AGAINST GOD. WITHOUT EXCEPTION.
THEY HAVE ALL TAUGHT BOTH IDLE WORDS OF ERROR,
UNWITTINGLY, OR WITTINGLY, MIXED WITH FACTS AND
TRUTH, TO THEIR EAGER STUDENTS, (Epistle to the
Romans 5:14).

WERE THEY SINCERE?

YES, BUT SINCERELY DECEIVED.

YET, IN THE LAW IT IS WRITTEN, “IGNORANCE OF


THE LAW EXEMPTS NO ONE FROM COMPLIANCE
THEREWITH.” AND THIS TRUE.
(Books of Leviticus 4;2; 5:15; 4:13; Book of Acts 3:17,
19; 17:30).

He came to redeem the created mortals, born of women, flesh


and blood from that condemnation. Every one of them
condemned under the penalty of death, (Epistle to the
Galatians 3:22).

> ONLY THE ACCEPTABLE REDEEMER AND HIS


PRECIOUS BLOOD SACRIFICE CAN DO THAT FOR ALL
OF THEM THAT WERE EVER BORN, AND ALL THAT
EVER DIED, ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH. IT IS THE
ONLY ONE TIME SACRIFICE ACCEPTABLE TO GOD,
(Epistle to the Hebrews 10:12, 14; 11:4).

ONLY THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF THE LAMB, WHO


WAS GOD, AND BECAME A MAN, CAN BE
ACCEPTABLE TO GOD, (Gospel Book of John 1:1).
16 “And without controversy great is the

64
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

mystery of Godliness: God was manifest in


the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of
angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed
on in the world, received up into glory,”
(First Epistle to Timothy 3:16).

THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF THE PASSOVER LAMB IS


SACRIFICED FOR THE DISCIPLES OF CHRIST, (First
Epistle to the Corinthians 5:7).

“All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God, (Epistle
to the Romans 3:23; 5:12).
The wages of sin is death,” (Epistle to the Romans 6:23).

THE ROOT OF SIN

WHAT IS THE ROOT OF SIN?

HOW DID IT ALL BEGIN?

WHEN THE FIRST COUPLE PARTOOK OF THE


TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND
EVIL.

THEN THE KNOWLEDGE OF EVIL TOOK ON A


HEAVIER WEIGHT IN THE PROCESS OF TIME.

KNOWLEDGE OF EVIL MADE AND INDUCED


MEN TO COMMIT SIN.

SIN UPON LAYER AND LAYERS OF SIN WAS


THE NET RESULT.

65
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

“SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF THE


LAW,”(First Epistle John 3:4).

SIN IS THE BREAKING OF THE TEN


COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, THE CODIFIED
ARTICLES OF THE LAW. THE LAW OF LOVE.

GOD IS LOVE.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE THE TEN


COMMANDMENT OF LOVE.

WHEN EVER ANY MAN OR WOMAN BREAKS


THAT COMMANDMENT OF LOVE, THE
RESULT IS SIN.

SIN IS DESERVING OF THE PENALTY OF


DEATH.

DEATH IN THIS PHYSICAL LIFE IS EITHER


DIRECT DEATH THAT COMES UPON THE
SINNER, BY HIS BREAKING THE LAW OF
LOVE. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF GOD.
THE AUTOMATIC PENALTIES FOR
TRANSGRESSIONS OF THE LAW OF LOVE
BRING PHYSICAL DEATH. LIFE BECOMES
SHORTER. STRESSES AND PSYCHOSOMATIC

BUT UNDER DURESS, ANGST, PAIN, DISTRESS.

Chapter Three

THE MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH BUILT


UPON THE ROCK

In the fifth chapter of the Gospel Book of Mathew, the


Lord Jesus Christ went up into a mountain, whereon His
disciples came unto Him. There He taught them, and opened
the profoundest truth of the Christian calling for their deep
understanding:
“Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine,
and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man,
which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and
the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell
not: for it was founded upon a rock.” (Gospel Books of
Matthew 7:24-25; Luke 6:47-48).

THE FOUNDATION OF THE


CHURCH OF GOD

JESUS, THE CHRIST OF GOD, BUILT THE CHURCH


OF GOD UPON HIMSELF, THE ROCK.

68
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

In His prayer to God His Father, before His moment of


supreme sacrifice and death, in the hands of men He
created, by Roman crucifixion, He enjoined the Father to
KEEP IN GOD’S NAME those the Father has given to
Him. Hence, the Churches of Christ are kept in the Name
of God: CHURCH OF GOD, (Gospel Book of John
17:11; Epistle to the Ephesians 3:15). The Church of God
is the Household and Family of God on earth, (Epistle to
the Ephesians 2:19; 3:15). Gal 6:10

In twelve places in the Holy Scriptures, (ten in God’s, and


two in Christ’s), the Name is revealed:

> “Feed the church of God, (Book of Acts 20:28).

> “To the church of God which is at Corinth, (First Epistle


to the Corinthians 1:2).

> “Give none offence,,,, to the church of God,” (ch 10:32).

> “Or despise ye the church of God,” (ch 11:22)

> “I persecuted the church of God,” (ch 15:9).

> “We have no custom, neither the churches of God,” (ch


11:16).

>“Care of the church of God,” (First Epistle to Timothy 3:5;

> “church of the living God,” (Ch. 3:15).

> “Called churches of Christ, “ (Epistle to the Romans 16:16).

> “I persecuted the church of God; (Epistle to the Galatians


1:13).

69
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

>“As I ordain in all churches of Christ,” (First Epistle to the


Corinthians 11:16).

> “Followers of the churches of God,” (First Epistle to the


Thessalonians 2:14).

He is THE SPIRITUAL ROCK upon which His Church


was founded, (First Epistle to the Corinthians 10:4).
Ex 17:6, Num 20:11, Ps 78:15
SO IT IS WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING
GOD, THE CHURCHES OF CHRIST, SO BELIEVE.

MOREOVER, CHRIST DISCLOSED THE KEY PRINCIPLE
THAT EVERY BELIEVER AND PRACTITIONER MUST

CHAOS AND FAILURE FOLLOWS DEVIATION


AND DISOBEDIENCE

It is really quite simple.

The law of cause and effect in operation in the created


universe, and reduced from the biggest, largest size,
thru, and to, descent to the lowest quantity. Even to the
multi-cellular, sub-atomic level. And from the utmost
volume and mass to the smallest equation. The Law of
Cause and Effect follows, and is applicable, in all these.

Primary example: Gravity pulls all men down, so men


are all earthbound, Gravity is the cause. The going
down is the effect. It is inevitable. Inviolate. A fixed
principle in the created universe. Set in motion by the
Eternal Creator GOD. We see this on terra firma, the
earth that all men, born of women, flesh and blood
mortals, dwell in.

It is quite important to understand.

THE HIGHEST VALUE


TO REACH AFTER

Life is not all technical equations, numbers. And now,


in the 21st century, digits. Not in-depth analysis.
Uninvolved evaluation and factual research with charts
and figures galore. Not endless information gathering
and ultimately, information overload!

71
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

Modern 21st century man has fallen into the trap.


Competition. Survival. “Must win at all costs” motto
and mantra. The rat race. Stress. Anxiety. Withdrawal
into self-protection, and loss of trust of others is the
result. Crafting of firewalls from intrusion in to his
private world and personal universe, his well-guarded
space. VERBOTEN TO OTHERS. Forbidden. Intrude
NOT. Such tragedy. The SYSTEM has done in the
human person, flesh and blood, born of woman.

Coldness. Hardness. ‘Who cares?’ Unfeeling.


Dispassionate. Uninvolvement. Men turned to all these
to mask himself. For self-protection. Self-preservation
in an evil and cruel, merciless environment: the world,
as it has now become.

THIS IS IN THE EXTREME.


IT IS GOING TO
GET WORSE AND WORST IN THE END OF DAYS.

ALL THESE>>>>MEN OUGHT TO BE

Feeling and emotions attend the entire range of the


business, and conduct, or vice-versa, of life.

72
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

Passion and intensity must attend activities that men do.


Capacity to care. Willingness to show and share
affection. Compassion is primary in communion with
suffering mankind. With one’s neighbor. Willingness to
reach out and touch the lives of others, and to be
mutually touched, as well. It is never really a one way
street, but two, and mutual. And so it never dries and
never dies.
LOVE, above all. In
the Greek, not just Eros, Neither philia. The former
and the latter, both being physical and material, will pass
away into the night, so to speak. As the saying goes, fade into
the sunset, And perish from the thoughts and memory of men.
The fire and the passion will die down. Much, ought and
must be, in overflowing agape, spiritual love, which never
dies. It is everlasting, above all else.
Agape that will
endure for all eternity.

Love that is shared and given. The more you give it


away, the more you have it. Such a beautiful paradox.
Meant to be known. Meant to be experienced by
every one.
Erstwhile they are
insensate. Devoid of true feeling. Bereft of true
humanity. Robbed off of mercy, kindness, goodness,
beauty, and truth.
All facts and
knowledge, particularly head knowledge, are granted
to be true. Yet IF devoid of the beating, stirring,
pulsating heart, No passion and feeling, Turned inert.

It is “not a life worth living,” to paraphrase an ancient


philosopher.

Robots, albeit functioning machines, equipped with


mechanical memory, software and electronics, and can
move as if it were human, emit computerized sounds
and light, are nothing but inorganic, metallic, feelingless
fabrications. Yet made with accurate dimensions and
proportions, and high-sensitivity sensors, are just that:
robots. They are man-made machines.

Man must never turn to be like his fabricated robots.


That would be an awful tragedy. The ultimate tragedy,
in fact.

“HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE


THE FEET OF THEM…”

Members of the Church of God, the spiritual Body of


Jesus Christ ought to live by THE REDEEMING
WONDERFUL POWER OF LOVE, quickened by the
Holy Spirit, the power of the Highest. This is totally
warm and spontaneous. Given, shown, and shared with
utmost, profound feeling and complete sincerity with
one’s fellowman. THEY BECOME THE FOREMOST
EXAMPLE OF SPIRITUAL HUMANITY. Warm.
Compassionate. Courageous. Bold. Kind. Gentle.

BEAUTY, TO THE ATTAINMENT OF WHICH, AND

First Corinthians 13

Chapter of Charity (LOVE)


1
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of
angels, and have not charity, I am become as
sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and
understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and
though I have all faith, so that I could remove
mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the
poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and
have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

75
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

4
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity
envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not
puffed up,
5
Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her
own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the
truth;
7
Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth
all things, endureth all things.
8
Charity never faileth: but whether there be
prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be
tongues, they shall cease; whether there be
knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10
But when that which is perfect is come, then that
which is in part shall be done away.
11
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I
understood as a child, I thought as a child: but
when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then
face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I
know even as also I am known.
13
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these
three; but the greatest of these is charity.

COMPASSION WITH, AND IN,


HEALING WAS THE HALLMARK
OF CHRIST’S MINISTRY

76
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

The Eternal Creator GOD dealt with His created mortals


with loving kindness:
35 “And they remembered that God was their rock, and the
high God their redeemer.
36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and
they lied unto him with their tongues.
37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they
steadfast in his covenant.
38 But he being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity,
and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger
away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
Num 14:18, 20
39 For he remembered they are but flesh, a wind that passeth
away, and cometh not again,” (Book of Psalms 78:36-39).

15 But thou, O LORD, art a God full of compassion, and


gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth,”
(Book of Psalms 86:15).

4 “He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered; and


the LORD is gracious and full of compassion,” (Book of
Psalms 111:4; 112:4; 145:8).

The Lord Jesus Christ showed the way in his recorded


dealings with mankind.

36 “But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with


compassion on them, because they fainted, and were
scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd,” (Gospel Book
of Matthew 9:36).

77
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

34 “So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their


eyes, and immediately their eyes received sight, and they
followed him,” (Gospel Book of Matthew 20:34).

39 And he preached in their synagogues throughout all


Galilee, and cast out devils.
40 And there came out a leper to him, beseeching him, and
kneeling down to him, And saying unto him, ‘If thou wilt,
thou canst make me clean.’ 41 And Jesus, moved
with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and
saith unto him. ‘I will; be thou clean.’
42 And soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy
departed from him, and he was cleansed. (Gospel Book of Mark
1:39-41).

12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold


there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother,
and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with
her.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on
her, and said unto her, ‘Weep not’.
14 And when he came and touched the bier: and they that
bare him stood still. And he said, ‘Young man, I say unto thee,
Arise.’ ch 8:54; John 11:43

15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he
delivered him to his mother.
16 And there rose a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying,
‘That a great prophet is risen up among us; and that God hath
visited his people,’ (Gospel Book of Luke 7:12-15).
THE DISCIPLES OF CHRIST ARE COMMISSIONED TO
PROCLAIM THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD,
AND HEAL THE SICK

MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

1 ‘THEN HE called his twelve disciples together, and gave them


power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
Mat 10:1; Mark 3:13; 6:7
2 And he sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God, and to heal
the sick, (Gospel Book of Luke 9:1-2).
Mat 10:7, 8

5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them saying,


‘Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the
Samaritans enter ye not.
ch 4:1, 5; 2 Ki 17:24; John 4:9
6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at
hand. Luke 9:2; ch 3:2; Luke 10:9
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils:
freely ye have received, freely give,”
(Gospel Book of Matthew 10:1, 5-8).

HEALING IS A DOCTRINE OF GOD.


HIS OFFICE IS AS THE HEALER. THE
DIVINE PHYSICIAN. THE CHURCH OF GOD
ADOPTED THIS DOCTRINE.

“I AM the LORD that HEALETH thee,” (Book of


Exodus 15:26).

“Bless the LORD O my soul: and all that is within me,


bless his holy name.
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his
benefits:
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth
all thy diseases,” (Book of Psalms 103:1-3).
Ex. 15:26; Deut. 7:12-15; Ps. 130:8; Is. 33:24; Jer. 50:20

ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH, IT SHALL BE DONE


UNTO THEE
13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, ‘Go thy way; and as thou
hast believed, so be it done unto thee.’ And his servant was
healed in the self same hour,”(Matthew 8:13).
SO IT IS WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF GOD SO
BELIEVE. GOD HEALS ABSOLUTELY.

RAISE THE DEAD.


THE PHYSICALLY DEAD
THE SPIRITUALLY DEAD
3 Art thou he that should come, or do we look for
another?

4 Jesus answered and said unto them, ‘Go and show


John again those things which you do hear and see:’
5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk,
the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead
are raised, and the poor have the gospel preached to
them,’ (Gospel Books of Matthew 11:3-5; Luke 7:22).
Mat. 10:8; Is. 29:18

THE MISSING ELEMENT IN THE


RELIGION OF THE JEWS

23 “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for


you pay tithe and mint and cummin, and have
omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment,
mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not
to leave the other undone,” (Gospel Book of Matthew 23:23).
RELIGIOUS LEADERS, SUCH AS THOSE SCRIBES AND
PHARISEES, AND THEIR MODERN COUNTERPARTS,
ARE DEEP IN THE ENFORCING OF INFLEXIBLE RULES
AND STERN REGULATIONS THAT STIFLE SPIRITUAL
GROWTH. CHRIST REBUKES THEM FOR SUCH.

ANY MAN, GROUP OF MEN, OR CHURCHES OF MEN


WHO PROFESS GODLINESS, OR FAITH IN GOD, AND
CHRIST, OR TO INVOKE THE NAME OF GOD, OUGHT
TO REMEMBER THIS. ONLY THEN CAN THEY EVEN
BEGIN TO SAY THAT THEY KNOW GOD AND GOD
KNOWS THEM.

83
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

“BE YE HOLY FOR I AM HOLY”


HOW?
Listen, mortals, and read
what the Divine Creator
proclaimed unto you:

44 “Ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be


holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with
any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
45 For I am the LORD that bringeth you out of the land of
Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am
holy,”(Book of Leviticus 11:44-45).
THIS IS THE LAW OF THE CLEAN AND THE
UNCLEAN MEATS. THE FOOD LAW. THE
SEPARATION AND DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE
CLEAN AND THE UNCLEAN MEATS TO EAT, AND
NOT TO EAT.

IN MODERNLANGUAGE, IT IS CALLED “THE


DIETARY LAW”. THEY ARE DESCRIBED IN FULL
AND DETERMINATION IN THE BOOK OF LEVITICUS
CHAPTER ELEVEN.
THESE ARE NOT MERE LAWS FOR PHYSICAL GOOD
HEALTH. AS GOD PROCLAIMED. ALTHOUGH THEY
ALSO ARE. FOR ALL HUMANITY. FOR ALL MANKIND,
BORN OF WOMEN, FLESH AND BLOOD, FOR ALL
TIMES. VALID FOR EVERY HUMAN BEING FROM DAY
ONE OF THE CREATION OF MAN, TO EVERY MAN AND

HIS HOLINESS IS UPON YOU IF YOU DO NOT


ALLOW YOUR NATURAL PHYSICAL BODY TO
INGEST AND DIGEST, THEREBY INCORPORATE
INTO YOUR BODY SYSTEM, WHICH IS THE
TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, TO BE DEFILED
WITH AND BY, WHAT THE ETERNAL CREATOR
PRONOUNCES AS UNCLEAN. AND DECLARED BY THE
DIVINE CREATOR AS ABOMINATION UNTO YOU.
GOD MADE IT A POINT TO MAKE IT SO CLEAR,
AND UNMISTAKEABLE. IT TAKES FAITH TO
BELIEVE AND PRACTICE THIS FOOD LAW. WITHOUT
FAITH, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD.

THE VISION OF PETER AND WHAT IT


REALLY MEANT
10 “And he became very hungry, and would have eaten:
but while they made ready, he fell into a trance.
11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descended
descended unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the
four corners, and let down to the earth. ch/7:56; Rev. 19:11

12 Wherein all manner of fourfooted beasts of the


earth,and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the
air.
13 And there came a voice to him, “Rise, Peter: kill, and
eat.”

85
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

14 But Peter said, ‘Not so, Lord, for I have never eaten any
thing that is common, or unclean,”
15 And the voice spoke to him again the second time,
‘What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.”
ver. 28
16 This was done thrice; and the vessel was received up
again into heaven.
17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what the vision,
which he had seen, should mean.

The apostle Peter recounted the vision to the apostles that


were in Jerusalem.

IN CONCLUSION, they then realized that God had


granted repentance unto life to the Gentiles also. That,
henceforth, they were not to be called unclean, and
common, (Book of Acts 10:10-17; 18—47; 11:1-18).
The apostle Peter, at that point in time, was long past the
time when Christ was with them in His days in human
flesh. This proves that they were taught that the Food Laws
were always in effect. That the first Christians knew and
lived by the Food Law of Leviticus chapter eleven.
WHAT COLOSSIANS 3:16
REALLY MEANT

16 “Let no man therefore judge you in meat or in


drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new
moon, or of the Sabbath days.
17 Which are a shadow of things to come, but the
body is of Christ. Heb. 8:5

86
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

The Colossian Christians were new converts in the


true faith once delivered to the saints. They were
Gentiles in times past, (Epistle to the Ephesians 2:11).
When they commenced in their practice of the
Faith, and lived in the Way, as they were taught
by the original apostles, their neighbors, who were
practitioners of the heathen and pagan ways, and
who ate anything they could lay their hands on
without any distinction whatsoever, jeered at
them. They laughed at them. They judged them.

When they observed and kept the weekly holy


Sabbath day, the seventh day, and the tri-
annual Sabbath days, and the Holy Feast
Days of God, their unconverted neighbors and
the unbelievers around them, persecuted them,
and judged them.

The apostle Paul, Christ’s chosen apostle to the


Gentiles, and then to the former Gentiles, now
converted brethren in the Church of the Living
God, wrote the above epistle to them, The
brotherhood is their witness, and to each other,
before God. Thereby, the world outside of the
brotherhood can not therefore judge them,
(Epistle to the Colossians 2:16, 17-23).

87
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

The doctrines of devils believed by the unbelievers forbids to


marry, and commanded to abstain from meats, especially on
their determined particular days, which God has created, and
commanded to be received and eaten with thanks giving, of
them WHICH BELIEVE AND KNOW THE TRUTH,
SANCTIFIED BY THE WORD OF GOD, AND WITH
PRAYER, (First Epistle to Timothy 4:1-5).

The Book of Leviticus chapter eleven


pronounced the type of clean meats to be eaten, and
considered for FOOD. They were sanctified. Set
apart. By these very word of God. ONLY
THE BRETHREN BELIEVED AND KNEW THE
TRUTH.

Chapter Four

WHAT TRUE RELIGION IS ALL ABOUT

26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and


bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this
man’s religion is vain. 27 Pure religion and undefiled
before God and the Father is this, ‘To visit the
fatherless and the widows in their affliction, and to keep
himself unspotted from the world,” (Epistle of James
1:26-27). Ps. 34:13

88
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

The endless, useless wars and conflicts men engaged


themselves in prematurely, and forcibly, removed
fathers, brothers, sons, and other kindred men folks
from the communities of man. Many other fatal causes
inflicted on similar men folks left a terrible void.

The world is so much poorer in the forced demise of


male leaders, husbands, fathers, and providers for
families.

This left behind grieving widows. Helpless orphans.


Multitude of fragile fatherless children in the world of
the living. Deprived of the steady and strong guiding
hand of fathers and breadwinners.

The yawning void in the lives of widows and fatherless


children produces so much pain and sense of loss, as
well as a sense of direction and purpose. A vast chasm
of emptiness in the lives of them who were left behind.
Of these that the ever Merciful and Loving God cares
for, so that He set His Will for them in sacred
Scriptures. The rudder by which these families are
moving on in the world is missing. God their Father
would will that void be filled by those who would
profess to practice the religion God approves of, and
consider to be true.

THE GOD OF HEAVEN looks down from His


Everlasting Throne of mercy and loving kindness, and
sees all of these.

89
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

He decrees that every one who confesses the true Faith


once delivered must remember all these mortals bereft
of husbands and fathers.
To remember them with mercy and loving kindness as
God does.

To take time, and space, in their work-a-day lives and


in their prayers and thoughts on behalf of them.

Surely, if they do, they would be on God’s side. And


God blesses them who choose to come on His side for
these.

MAN MADE A SERIOUS MISTAKE IN

LEADERS AND TEACHERS DO NOT

MATERIAL, DIMENSION OF THE SPIRIT IS


ONE OF LIVING ABSOLUTE BELIEVING
FAITH. ON ONE’’S KNEES IN ALL
YIELDEDNESS AND HUMBLENESS MUST ONE
READ THE SCRPTURES ON GOD. THEN THE
GOD OF HEAVEN WILL BE PLEASED TO OPEN
HIS MIND TO UNDERSTAND.
2 “For all these things hath mine hand made, and all
those things have been,” saith the LORD: ‘but to this
man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a
contrite spirit, and trembleth at my
word,” (Book of Isaiah 66:2).

MEN END UP BEING UNBELIEVERS. SKEPTICS. PROUDLY


CYNICAL. THEY ARE GIVEN OVER TO A REPROBATE MIND,
INSTEAD.

PROUD, INTELLIGENT, BRAINY MORTALS BEGIN TO BE


PUFFED UP. IN THE VANITY OF THEIR MINDS, EVEN IN
THEIR HEART OF HEARTS, THEY THINK THEY CAN
DISCOVER GOD. THEIR ENDLESS RESEARCH BRINGS THEIR
MINDS UPTO A CEILING SOMEWHERE IN THE VOID. AND
LIKE A CRYSTAL THAT BREAKS. NOT INTO
UNDERSTANDING, BUT TO THE FORBIDDEN REALM OF THE
MIND WHERE PRIDE AND VANITY DWELLS. THIS LEADS TO
CONCLUSIONS SET IN STONE. INTO DOCTRINES IMPOSED
UPON “LESSER” OTHERS. SUCH WAS LUCIFER’S,
“PERFECT IN BEAUTY AND WISDOM” SYNDROME, ( Books
of the prophets Isaiah 14:12-14; Ezekiel 27:3;
28:2-3, 12-15; 29:3, 17).

IT BECOMES EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO HUNDREDS OF


MILLIONS WHEN THESE “DOCTRINES” BECOME THE
“DOCTRINES AND CREEDS ADOPTED BY POWERFUL
RELIGIOUS CONCLAVES AND COUNCILS.” AND ARE THEN

97
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

IMPOSED UPON THEIR FOLLOWERS TO BE BELIEVED AND


PRACTICED.

GOD REVEALS HIMSELF.

BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, GOD REACHES AND CONNECTS TO


THE CARNAL HUMAN MIND.

IT IS NOT FOR MEN TO RESEARCH HIM, IN-DEPTH, AS


THEY CALL IT TODAY.

IT IS FOR MEN TO SEEK HIM THAT HE MAY HE


MAY WORSHIP AND SERVE HIM. NOT TO INVESTIGATE
HIM. THOSE WHO DO ARE CURSED WITH A CURSE. LIKE
AN AUTOMATIC LAW THAT GOD HAS SET IN MOTION.

A VAST GULF LIES BETWEEN


‘REASEARCHING’ GOD, IN-DEPTH, WITH ALL
THE TOOLS OF MODERN SCHOLARSHIP AND
ANALYSIS, AND THEN TO ADORN THEIR
NAMES WITH A PUBLISHED THESIS ON GOD
>>>>AND SEEKING GOD TO WORSHIP,
ADORE, LOVE, AND PRAISE, AND FOLLOW,
AND OBEY, HIM.

MEN INTRUDE DISRESPECTFULLY, EVEN WITH


PROUD COUNTENANCE, AND DARING, INTO THE
DIMENSION. IN THE REALM OF THE LIGHT, WHERE
HE DWELLS, THAT GOD OWNS FOR HIMSELF AND
BELONGS TO HIM, BECAUSE HE IS GOD.
The heaven, even the heavens, are the

spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must
be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the
prophets, and in the psalms concerning me. ver. 6
45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might
understand the scriptures,” (Gospel Book of Luke 24:44-
45).

“For thou, LORD, art high above all the


earth: thou art exalted above all gods,” (Book
of Psalms 97::9)

FOR HE IS GOD THE ALMIGHTY

“HAVE YOU NOT KNOWN?

21 HATH IT NOT BEEN TOLD YOU FROM THE BEGINNING?
HAVE YE NOT UNDERSTOOD FROM THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE
EARTH? Ps 19:1; Acts 14:17; Rom.1:19

22 IT IS HE THAT SITTETH UPON THE CIRCLE OF THE


EARTH, AND THE INHABITANTS THEREOF ARE AS
GRASSHOPPERS;THAT STRETCHES OUT THE HEAVENS AS A
CURTAIN, AND SPREADETH THEM OUT AS A TENT TO DWELL
IN: Job 9:8; Ps 104:2

23 THAT MAKETH THE PRINCES TO NOTHING, HE MAKETH THE


JUDGES OF THE EARTH AS VANITY,”

25 TO WHOM WILL YE LIKEN ME, OR SHALL I BE EQUAL? SAITH


THE HOLY ONE. ver 8

26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these
things, that bringeth not their hosts by number: he calleth them
all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in
power; not one faileth. Ps 147:3

27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is


hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from God?

28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the
everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth
fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his
understanding, (Book of the prophet Isaiah 40:21-28).
Ps 147:5

9 And thou, Solomon, my son, KNOW THOU THE GOD OF


THY FATHER, and serve Him with a perfect heart and with a
willing mind; for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and
understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek
Him, He will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will
cast thee off forever,” (First Book of Chronicles 28:9).
Jer 9:24
SO IT IS WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF GOD SO
BELIEVE

KNOW THAT GOD IS THE DIVINE FAMILY,


AND THE KINGDOM, OF GOD

14 “For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father


of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 Of whom the whole

family on heaven and earth is


named.”
(Epistle to the Ephesians 3:15)
6” For unto us a son is given: and the government
shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be
called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The
everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government, there shall be
no end, upon the throne of his father David, and
upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it
with judgment and with justice from henceforth even
forever. The zeal of the LORD will perform this,”
(Book of the prophet Isaiah 9:6-7)

SO IT IS WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING


GOD SO BELIEVE.

DOCTRINE OF THE GODHEAD


TWO DIVINE BEINGS ARE MEMBERS OF THE GODHEAD
OF THE ONE TRUE GOD:
26 “ Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…”
(Book of Genesis 1:26)

1 “In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God,
and the word was God,” (Gospel Book of John 1:1).

GOD THE FATHER, (Gospel Book of John 6:27;

Book of John 17:25); THE ANCIENT OF DAYS,


(Book of the prophet Daniel 7:9. 13, 22);
THE LORD GOD, (Gospel Book of Luke 1:32).
From eternity to all eternity, HE IS GOD.
He created by His Word, thru THE WORD, Who
was God with God, (Gospel Book of John 1:1; Epistle
to the Hebrews 1:8-10), they were created, and
came into being, (“Let there be>>>>> Books of
Genesis 1: : ; Revelation 4:11 ).
By the power of the Holy Spirit (Power of
the HIGHEST, (Gospel Book of Luke 1:35), all things
came to be.

MAN CAN NOT BY HIS LIMITED COMPREHENSION


UNDERSTAND HOW THE SPIRIT CREATES. MEN IS
LIMITED TO CONCEIVING IN COMPARTMENTS AND
MODULES- WHETHER MICRO, OR MACRO DIMENSIONS,
OF CREATED SUBSTANCES. OR SOLID MATTER.
MEASURABLE, OBSERVABLE BY HIS LIMITED 5
SENSES, WITH THE UTILIZATION OF MECHANICAL
TOOLS HE FABRICATED.
THE SPIRIT DIMENSION IS BEYOND THE REACHABLE

THE LORD (YHVH --- YAHWEH/JEHOVAH OF THE OLD


TESTAMENT IS THE ROCK
HE IS THE SAME ROCK ( First Epistle to the
Corinthians 10:4). WHO WAS CHRIST.
JESUS THE CHRIST OF GOD IS, THEREFORE, EL
SHADDAI), THE JEHOVAH / YHVH / YAHWEH OF
THE OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES. THE SAME OLD
TESTAMENT TESTIFY OF JESUS CHRST, (Gospel Book
of John 5:39). THE SAME GOD IN THE BEGINNING

102
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

IS THE GOD WITH GOD (Hebrew: elohiym) IN TH


E BOOK OF GENESIS 1:1. HE IS THE
MELCHISEDEC, KING OF SALEM, WHICH IS KING
OF PEACE, WITHOUT FATHER, WITHOUT MOTHER,
WITHOUT DESCENT, HAVING NEITHER BEGINNING OF
DAYS, NOR END OF LIFE; TO WHOM ABRAHAM PAID
TITHES; MADE LIKE UNTO THE SON OF GOD;
ABIDETH A PRIEST CONTINUALLY, (Books of Genesis
14:18; Psalms 110:4; Epistle to the Hebrews 5:6, 10:6;
6:20; 7:1-3, 10, 11; 10).

39 “Search the Scriptures; for in them ye


think ye have eternal life, and they are
they which testify of me,” (Gospel Book of John
5:39).
(Moses wrote of Christ: see verse 46).

WHEN ONE MEMBER OF THE GODHEAD WAS MANIFEST


IN THE FLESH, (Mystery of Godliness, I Tim 3:16)

HE SAID: NO MAN KNOWS THE FATHER, (Gospel Books


of Matthew 11:27; Luke 10:22;

NO ONE HEARD HIS VOICE, NOR SEEN HIS SHAPE;


(Gospel Book of John 5:37).

NO ONE HAS SEEN GOD AT ANYTIME, (John 1:18; 1


John 4:12). Ex. 33:20; Mat 11:27;
1 Tim. 6:16.

MOSES SAW GOD. THE ELDERS OF ISRAEL SAW GOD,


9 Then went up Moses and Aaron, Nadah and Abihu, and
seventy of the elders of Israel:
10 And they saw the God of Israel, and there
was under his feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone, and
as it were the body of heaven in his clearness,

11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid his

THE SON CAME TO MAKE KNOWN THE FATHER TO


THE HUMAN RACE.
> FIRST, TO THE
APOSTLES. TO THE EARLY BELIEVERS. AND BY THEM
TO THE REST OF THE WORLD. THRU THE HOLY
SCRIPTURES.

> THEN TO MANKIND,

READERS OF THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT TODAY


SEE THE OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES ABOUT THE
LORD. YHVH. JEHOVAH. YAHWEH. I AM, EL
SHADDAI. ADONAI, MELCHISEDEC.. AND A HOST
OF OTHER DIVINE NAMES.

THEY ARE ONE AND THE SAME DIVINE BEING WHO


BECAME MANIFEST IN THE FLESH, A HUMAN IN
FLESH AND BLOOD, BORN OF A VIRGIN,, JESUS THE
CHRIST. THE WORD WHO WAS IN THE BEGINNING
WITH GOD. THE WORD, HE WAS GOD, GOD WITH
GOD, (Gospel Book of John 1:1; Epistle to the Hebrews
1:5, 8).

WHEN HIS EARTHLY MISSION OF 33 ½ YEARS WAS


OVER, HE ASKED GOD THE FATHER TO
RESTORE HIM TO THE GLORY HE HAD WITH THE
FATHER IN THE GODHEAD (New Testament)-Elohiym
(Old Testament) BEFORE THE WORLD WAS.

104
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

BACK TO BEING GOD IN THE GODHEAD WITH


GOD THE FATHER, (Gospel Book of John17:5).

‘SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES.” HE COMMANDED,


(Gospel Book of John 5:39).

46 “For had you believed Moses, you would have believed me,
for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how
shall ye believe my words?” (Gospel Book of John 5:46).
MOSES WROTE
MOSTLY ABOUT LORD. YHVH. YAHWEH,
THE
JEHOVAH. EL SHADDAI. THE “I AM”, YET
JESUS CHRIST STATED THAT MOSES WROTE ABOUT
CHRIST, (Gospel Book of John 5:46). SO MOSES WAS
WRITING ABOUT THE CHRIST, SO WRITTEN ABOUT IN THE
NEW TESTAMENT IN GREEK, NAMED LORD, JEHOVAH, YHVH
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES, WRITTEN IN THE
ORIGINAL HEBREW.
CHRIST in Greek: Christos. Yashua. JESUS.. Messiah.
Emmanuel. Son of David, Son of man. Son of God. I AM,
Savior. The WORD. Alpha and Omega.
Bright and Morning Star. Daystar. The Lord. Only Begotten Son.
The last Adam. Son of man. Son of God.
Lamb of God. Savior., Great God. Captain of our Salvation.
Author and Finisher of the Faith. Teacher. Master. My Lord. My
God. Mediator between God and man. Apostle of our Faith. High
Priest. Cornerstone. Redeemer. Emmanuel. The Way. The Truth.
The Life. The Resurrection.

THE ONLY SCRIPTURES AT THAT TIME WERE THE


OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES.

THE NEW TESTA,MENT, WRITTEN IN GREEK, BY THE


APOSTLES, AND PAUL, CHRIST’S APOSTLE TO THE

105
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

GENTILES, WERE IN SCROLLS AND LETTERS READ


TO THE CONGREGATIONS OF THE EARLIEST CHURCH
OF GOD. THEY WERE PUT TOGETHER UNDER THE
INSPIRATION OF GOD TO BECOME THE APPROVED
CANON OF NEW TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES:

16 “Bind up the testimony, seal the law


among my disciples,” (Book of the prophet Isaiah 8:16).

WHEN JESUS, THE SON OF MAN, THE SON OF GOD


WAS ON EARTH WITH THE HUMAN RACE 2000 YEARS
AGO, HE REVEALED AND SHED LIGHT ON THE
GODHEAD.

HIS REVELATION
AT THAT TIME TO THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS OF THE
JEWS UPSET THEM. TO THEM, THE ONE TRUE
GOD MEANS ONE DIVINE BEING AND PERSON.
JEHOVAH, YHVH IS HASHEM AS THEY CALL HIM
TODAY. THE TRUTH OF ELOHIYM BEING THE
GODHEAD WITH MORE THAN ONE MEMBER IS
BLASPHEMY TO THEM.
TO US, IT IS
ENLIGHTENMENT, FOR IT SET ARIGHT A WHOLE
UNIVERSE OF MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT GOD:

> 1. IN THE GODHEAD, IN Elohiym, WHEREIN


THEY ARE ONE, (Gospel Book of John 10:30), GOD
THE FATHER IS GREATER THAN THE SON WHO IS

106
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. WHO WAS


JEHOVAH/YAHWEH/YHVH/LORD OF THE OLD
TESTAMENT.
JESUS THE CHRIST, WHO IN THE OLD
TESTAMENT, IS THE LORD, THE ROCK, YIELDS TO
THE ANCIENT OF DAYS, GOD THE FATHER
(‘Not my will, but thy will be done,” (Gospel Book of Luke
22:42)

“My Father is greater than I.” (Gospel Book of


John 14:28b).

> 2. GOD THE FATHER, THE ANCIENT OF


DAYS, HAVE NOT SHOWN HIS SHAPE, NEITHER
MANKIND HEARD HIS VOICE.
> THE ELDERS
OF ISRAEL SAW GOD. MOSES SAW GOD. THEY HEARD
THE VOICE OF THE ANGEL SPEAKING FOR GOD. SO
THEY SAW THE GOD OF ISRAEL,
JEHOVAH/YAHWEH/LORD/THE ROCK.

WHO IS THE GOD THEY SAW?

WHY, OF COURSE, THE GOD WHO MANIFESTED IN


THE FLESH. JESUS, THE CHRIST OF GOD.

“IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND

8 “But unto the Son he saith, ‘Thy throne O God is for


ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of
thy kingdom.
9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity;
therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with
the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
10 And, thou Lord, in the beginning hast laid the
foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the work of
thy hands,” (Epistle to the Hebrews 1:8-10)

GOD THE FATHER CHOSE NOT TO SHOW HIMSELF


TO THE PHYSICAL WORLD OF HUMAN BEINGS. HE
GAVE THAT RESPONSIBILITY TO THE OTHER PERSON
IN THE GODHEAD>>>> YHVH. HE SENT HIM TO DO
IT ON THIS VERY PLANET EARTH.

GOD THE FATHER IS SO HOLY THAT HE HAD


NOT CHOSEN TO BE IN TOUCH WITH MAN, MADE
FROM THE DUST.
THE GOD WHO BECAME FLESH AND BLOOD
JESUS, HAD COME FACE TO FACE WITH THOSE HE
CREATED. HE HAD TO CONFRONT AND ENDURE THE
CONTRADICTION OF SO MANY SINNERS AGAINST
HIMSELF, (Epistle to the Hebrews 12:3).

BECAUSE IT WAS SO, THE WORLD OF RELIGION


MADE DEEP, PROFOUND, EXTENSIVE, STUDIES AND
LONG YEARS OF RESEARCH, WROTE, AND
PUBLISHED THEIR AUTHORITATIVE OBSERVATIONS
AND CONCLUSIONS ABOUT GOD. AND FINALLY,

109
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

THEY CONCLUDED: “GOD IS A TRINITY”. THREE


PERSONS CO-EQUAL. EQUAL IN RANK. AND
CELESTIAL DEGREE. BECAUSE “GOD IS ONE IN
THREE.”
“Ever searching and never able to come to
the knowledge of the truth,” (Second Epistle to
Timothy 3:7).

GOD IS NONE OF THE SORT.

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WHO CAME FROM


HEAVEN STATED THAT HE ALONE KNOWS GOD
THE FATHER, AND THE FATHER, HIM. AND
JESUS, ALONE, CAN TALK ON THE TRUTH ON GOD
THE FATHER, WHICH HE DID, (Gospel Book of
Matthew 11:27).

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT GOD. THE HOLY


SPIRIT IS THE POWER OF THE HIGHEST. THE
POWER OF THE GODHEAD. (Gospel Book of Luke 1:35).

LIMITATIONS IN THE HUMAN LANGUAGE AND


EXPRESSION COULD ONLY DESCRIBE THE HOLY
SPIRIT AS GOD’S ESSENCE. GOD’S AGENT. HIS
POWER. THE POWER OF THE MOST HIGH GOD.

110

WOULD HE
NOT ALLOW HIS TRUE IMAGE AND TRUE BEING, TO
BE MANIPULATED BY PICKY, PICAYUNISH FLESH
AND BLOOD MORTALS, AND CARICATURED IN THEIR
MINDS AND UNDERSTANDING OF HIM WHO MADE
THEM. THEIR PUBLICATIONS CLAIMING FULL
AUTHORITY TO REVEAL HIM DOES NOT HAVE
APPROVAL OF GOD THE FATHER. NOT BY
JESUS CHRIST WHO ALONE KNOWS HIM.

THAT APPROVAL CAN ONLY COME FROM JESUS


CHRIST, WHO ALONE SPEAKS FOR GOD THE
FATHER. HE HAD IT WRITTEN IN THE HOLY
SCRIPTURES:

NO MAN KNOWS THE FATHER –


(Gospel Book of Matthew 11:27)

THE AUTHOR OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES


EXPRESSLY FORBID ADDING, OR SUBTRACTING
ANYTHING TO THE SCRIPTURES.

QUESTION:

Was YHVH who became Jesus Christ CREATED?


The confusion, debates, and arguments
running to and fro, back and forth, even
among the leaders of major religious
organizations, and front-ranked religious
scholars, circa 2000-2010 goes on.

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WHO WAS THE ROCK


(First Epistle to the Corinthians 3:10), WHO WAS THE
YHVH, REVEALED, IN THE ONLY INTIMATE
CONVERSATION / COMMUNICATION BY JESUS
CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD, TO GOD THE
FATHER, IN THE GOSPEL BOOK OF JOHN 17:1-26,
particularly verse 15:

“AND NOW, O FATHER, GLORIFY THOU ME WITH


THINE OWN SELF WITH THE GLORY THAT I HAD
WITH THEE BEFORE THE WORLD WAS.”
Phil. 2:6; Col. 1:15; Heb. 1:3

“ Glory that I had with thee …


Glory of God with GOD >>>> before the world
was – BEFORE CREATION >>>BEFORE THE
BEGINNING>>>>BEFORE GENESIS 1:1, AND JOHN
1:1>>>>BEFORE TIME BEGAN---THE God WITH GOD
was there. No beginning. No father. No
mother. Liveth forever from eternity to
eternity. HE WAS IN ELOHIYM. HE WAS God WITH
GOD IN THE GODHEAD.

113
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

YHVH WOULD ANSWER THE QUESTION RAISED FOR


MORE THAN A THOUSAND YEARS ABOUT WHETHER
CHRIST WAS CREATED BEFORE HIS HUMAN BIRTH,
WHEN HE WAS THE ROCK, (First Epistle to the
Corinthians 10:4), THE SAME YHVH OF THE OLD
TESTAMENT, IN THE BOOK OF JOHN 17:5, AND
TRIGGERED BY THE BOOK OF REVELATION 3:14 IN
ITS TRANSLATION INTO THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE BY
TRANSLATORS OF THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES
VERSION, AND SEIZED UPON BY SCHOLARS AND
RELIGIOUS LEADERS TO MEAN CHRIST, BEFORE
HIS HUMAN BIRTH, WAS FORMED AND CREATED.

HE NOW SITS AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD, ANEW,


RESTORED TO, AND IN, THAT POSITION AND
GLORY OF DIVINE AUTHORITY, WHICH HE HAD WITH
THE FATHER IN THE GODHEAD, EVEN BEFORE THE
BEGINNING OF CREATION AND TIME. AND HAVING
THE FULL TRUST AND CONFIDENCE OF GOD THE
FATHER, AND ONENESS WITH HIM. NOBODY. NO
OTHER GOD, SITS BESIDE HIM, EVEN AS HE SITS
BY THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF GOD THE
FATHER – THE ANCIENT OF DAYS, ON HIS
THRONE IN HEAVEN. NO GOD OF HIS AUTHORITY
AND POSITION IN THE GODHEAD WILL EVER BE
FORMED, CREATED, OR MADE, (Books of Psalms 1:1, 5;
Acts 2:33; 7:55; Epistle to the Hebrews 1:13).

NO ONE, NO OTHER GOD, SITS BY HIS SIDE IN


THE GODHEAD, WHERE GOD THE FATHER SITS
SUPREME RULER ON HIS EVERLASTING THRONE.

114
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

THOSE WHO INTRUDE BY INTRUSIVE HUMAN


INQUIRY, VANITY, AND PROUD CURIOSITY, INTO
THE DEEPEST SECRETS OF GOD, THE GODHEAD,
WHICH BELONGS TO GOD, ARE IN GRAVE PERIL OF
LOSING THEIR PRICELESS SPIRITUAL LIBERTY
GRANTED BY THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY,
SUPREME GOVERNOR OF THE HEAVENS AND THE
EARTH. LEST THEY BE TURNED OVER INTO A
REPROBATE MIND, PARALLEL TO LUFICER’s, INTO
SATAN, THE DEVIL.

29 “THE SECRET THINGS BELONG UNTO


THE LORD OUR GOD: but those things which
are revealed belong unto us and our children
forever, that we may do all the words of this
law,” (Book of Deuteronomy 29:29).
THOSE WHO WILL BE BORN AGAIN INTO THE GOD
FAMILY, WILL BE MADE MEMBERS OF THE DIVINE
FAMILY. THEY WILL ALL BE CHILDREN OF GOD.
NONE AMONG THEM WILL BE IN THE GODHEAD,
WHERE GOD THE FATHER AND CHRIST THE SON
OF GOD ARE SO POSITIONED IN THE FAMILY,
AND KINGDOM, OF GOD.
AT THAT POINT IN TIME, ALAS, IN THE
REALM OF EVERLASTING, THE GODHEAD
WILL REVEAL THE DEEPEST MYSTERIES OF
GOD TO HIS IMMORTAL CHILDREN.

115
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

AND SO, THE LORD God OF THE OLD


TESTAMENT DECLARED: “THERE IS NO OTHER GOD
BESIDE ME.”

THE GODHEAD – NEW TESTAMENT


ELOHIYM – OLD TESTAMENT

THIS REVELATION FROM GOD EXPLAINS THE


TRUTH OF THE DUALITY IN ELOHIYM. A Hebrew
word that is singular in use, and plural in
sense. A compound unity. More than one
member, or person in Elohiym (Godhead).

There is ONE Elohiym. Written in


translations from the Hebrew word as
LORD (KJV).

There is ONE GODHEAD. Written in


English translations from the Greek, as
Godhead, (KJV).

There is ONE TRUE GOD. The Highest.

The HOLY SPIRIT is the power of the


Highest, (Gospel Book of Luke 1:35).

116
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

THEREBY GOD IS NOT A “TRINITY”.


The word “trinity” does not appear in the
original New Testament scriptures. Holy
Scriptures. Scriptures used to imply it is an
error by addition by the original
translators, who believed in the doctrine of
the “Trinity:”

7 “For there are three that bear record in


heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy
Spirit, and these three are one.” (First Epistle
of John 5:7).

8 *And there are three that bear witness


on earth, the spirit, and the water, and the
blood: and these three agree in one.” (First
Epistle of John 5:8).

{Comma Johanneum, the Trinitarian formula, made its way


into the third edition of Erasmus’ Greek NT (1522), after
his first edition (1516) which did not contain it, because
he found no Greek manuscripts that included it. It was
heavily criticized. He obliged, and put the reading into
his later addition after pressure from the Catholic Church.
The Council of Trent, 1546, decided to include the Comma
inreadings in the Catholic Church, and incorporated it in
their Old Latin Vulgate.
This was accepted into many fundamentalist Protestant and
Baptist churches, till today.
Wikipedia encyclopedia} The above two verses were retained
in translations by religious organizations that used it to
support their belief in the Trinity doctrine}

117
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

OCEANS OF WORDS TO PROMOTE AND PROVE THE TRINITY DOCTRINE


ARE JUST THAT: OCEANS OF WORDS SIGNIFYING NOTHING. FOR IT
DOES NOT EXIST IN REALITY.

THIS DOCTRINE, BELIEVED BY ANCIENT HEATHEN AND PAGAN


RELIGIONS, PRECLUDE THE ADDITION OF THE IMMORTAL CHILDREN
OF GOD INTO THE GOD FAMILY, WHICH FORMS THE CENTRAL MESSAGE
OF THE TRUE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

THE DOCTRINE OF THE “TRINITY” IS ASSOCIATED AND ENTWINED


WITH THE DOCTRINE OF THE “IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL.”

THIS LATTER DOCTRINE NEGATES TRUE SALVATION. FOR IF


SALVATION BRINGS IMMORTALITY TO THE SAVED CHILDREN OF GOD,
WHY THE NEED TO SAVE THEM IF THEIR SOUL IS ALREADY
IMMORTAL? IT IS A SELF-CONTRADICTING DOCTRINE, INDEED!

THE DOCTRINE OF THE TRINITY, BELIEVED BY HUNDREDS OF


MILLIONS, AND THE DOCTRINE OF THE IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL,
EQUALLY BELIEVED BY THE SAME NUMBERS, BLINDED THE EYES OF
MULTITUDES TO THE WONDROUS, GLORIOUS TRUTH OF THE
EVERLASTING GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

THE PURPOSE OF GOD FOR CREATING


MANKIND IS TO CREATE IMMORTAL SONS OF
GOD TO BE ADDED TO THE GOD FAMILY.
THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL BE SHARED BY GOD
in the fullness of power WITH THE
CHILDREN OF GOD. THIS IS THE WORK OF
GOD.

IT WILL BE THE SPIRITUAL POWER THAT WILL


ENABLE THE CHILDREN OF GOD TO RULE THE
UNIVERSE WITH CHRIST, as heirs, and joint-

118

heirs with HIM, WHEN THEY INHERIT


IT! (Epistle to the Romans 8:16-17.

> THE HOLY SPIRIT


> THE POWER OF THE HIGHEST, (Gospel Book of
Luke 1:35):
35 “And the angel answered and said unto
her. The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee,
and the power of the Highest shall
overshadow thee: therefore also that the
holy thing which shall be born of thee shall
be called the Son of God.

> WHEN MAN IS BORN AGAIN, BORN OF THE


SPIRIT INTO THE FAMILY, AND KINGDOM, OF GOD,
GOD THE FATHER WILL SHARE THE HOLY SPIRIT
WITH THEM WHO WILL BECOME IMMORTAL BEINGS.
THAT IS THE ONLY WITH WHICH, AND BY WHICH,
THEY TOO, CAN RULE THE UNIVERSE WITH CHRIST.

GOD RULES THE UNIVERSE BY THE


LAW OF LOVE

THEY LIVE BY HIS HOLY WORD


I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name

119

for thy loving kindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy
word above all thy name , (Book of Psalms 137:2)
Ps 28:2; 1 Ki. 8:29; Ps 5:7

“Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes out of the
mouth of God,” (Gospel Books of Matthew 4:4; Luke 4:4).
SO IT IS WRITTEN THE CHURCH OF GOD SO BELIEVE

WHY IS THERE IS DUALITY IN MAN’S


NATURE?

> 1. “Of the tree of the knowledge of good and


evil, thou shalt not eat of it. For in the day
thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die,”(Book of
Genesis 2:16-17).

> Be very careful that, even as it is proferred to you,


and attempts are made to teach truth and error
together TO YOU, ACCEPT IT NOT. INGEST NOT,
NEITHER EAT. Assimilate it not into your mind that it
becomes your guiding store of knowledge and
understanding. For if you do, your wisdom will be as
flawed as the rest of the world.

THE PERPLEXITY APOSTLE PAUL


WRESTLED WITH

15 For that which I do I allow not; for what I would, that


do I not, but what I hate, that do I.

120
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

16 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that


dwelleth in me.
17 For know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no
good thing: for to will is present with me; but now to
perform that which is good I find not.
Gen. 6:5; 8:21

19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I
would not, that I do.
20 Now If I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin
that dwelleth in me.
21 I find then a law, that when I would do good, evil is present
with me.
22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man.
23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the
law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin
which is in my members.
Gal. 5:17; ch. 6:13, 19
24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the
body of this death?
25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the
mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of
sin,” (Epistle to the Romans 7: 25).
THE SEED OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL
INCORPORATED INTO MAN’S VERY DNA. THIS
PRODUCES THIS DUALITY IN EVERY MAN. THIS
PRODUCES THE NEVER ENDING INNER CONFLICT

DO YOU HAVE AN IMMORTAL SOUL?


> Man CREATED. Read how it all began:

7 “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,*” (Book of Genesis 2:7).
ch 3:19, 23

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------
*heb. nephesh >>>>
that which breathes; a
breathing creature; mortally (Strong’s: 5315).
*Gk. psuche >>>> used interchangeably: spirit,
soul; , vitality, linked with emotion, emotional
life; life, linked with mind and heart, seat of
thinking , feeling, and purpose, (Strong’s: 5590).

---------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------

> Man became a living soul. Yes, man is a living soul.


SO MAN DOES NOT HAVE A SOUL INSIDE HIS
MORTAL BODY. HE IS A LIVING SOUL.

“The soul that sinneth, it shall


die,” (Book of Ezekiel 18:4, 20).
Rom 6:23

122
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

SO MAN DOES NOT HAVE AN IMMORTAL SOUL.


SO IT IS WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF GOD SO
BELIEVE.

THERE IS A SPIRIT IN MAN

8 “But there is a spirit* in man: and the inspiration


of the Almighty giveth them understanding,” (Book of
Job 32:8). Prov 2:6

*SPIRIT- Gk. pneuma >>>>non-physical element that God


formed in man, Blended with his physical brain, his mind is
formed, that will enable him to receive and understand
spiritual truths. To enable him to distinguish between right
and wrong, and make decisions, thereby. He then is able to
think, and reason. By free will, he can make choices, make
decisions to do, or not to do.

His mind, with the spirit-in-man, can then be reached


with inspiration by the Holy Spirit, to form both human, and
spiritual, character. It records the chronicles of his entire life
and his spiritual character as finally formed. When man dies,
his spirit returns to the man’s Creator, GOD, for safekeeping,
so to speak, (Book of Ecclesiastes 12:7):

7 “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was; and


the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.”
Gen. 3:10; ch. 3:21

123
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

God reaches out to man, and the Spirit of God links


to man’s spirit to give man, by inspiration, wisdom
and understanding.

1 “The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith


the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth
the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of
man within him,” (Books of the prophets Zechariah
12:1; Isaiah 42:5).

THIS IS THE SAME SPIRIT THAT LATER IN


DEATH RETURNS TO THE DIVINE CREATOR.
THE CHARACTER FORMED, BUILT, AND
PERFECTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT IN MAN,
OVER A SPIRITUALLY CONVERTED LIFETIME
WILL BE THE VERY CONSTITUENT SPIRIT AND
MIND THAT GOD WILL INVEST WITH A
SPIRITUAL BODY TO BECOME HIS IMMORTAL
SON, HIS CHILD WHO WILL LIVE FOREVER.
THIS IS THE TRUE SALVATION WHICH IS
A GIFT OF GOD, AND GRANT THE REWARD OF
A CROWN OF LIFE, WITH HONOR AND GLORY.
27 “For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his
Father with his angels: and the he shall reward
every man according to his works,” (Gospel Book
of Matthew 16:28).

CREATION. NOT EVOLUTION


THE TRUE STORY OF CREATION.

124
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

In the Book of *Genesis 1:1-2, it is


written:
1 IN THE BEGINNING, GOD* CREATED THE
HEAVEN AND THE EARTH. John 1:1; Heb 1:10; Ps
8:3

2 AND THE EARTH WAS** WITHOUT FORM**** AND


VOID****a; AND DARKNESS WAS UPON THE FACE OF
THE DEEP. AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD*** MOVED
UPON THE FACE OF THE WATERS, (Book of Genesis 1:1-
1).
*Genesis – heb. “genesis”, beginning.
God* – heb. “elohiym”, a uniplural word, a compound
unity. More than one person, divine being in the Godhead.
was** - Strong’s # 1961--- heb. :“hayah”, to be,
become, became
Spirit renewest the face of the earth***
(Book of Psalms 104:30)
Without form****>> Strong’s # 8414 heb.: “tohuw”—
confusion, desolate, empty, wilderness, state of vanityl
and VOID****a >> heb. ““bohuw” >> emptiness,
void, destroyed wasteland
hebrew >> Tohuw va bohuw is a phrase that go
together as used in the Bible, (Book of the prophets
Isaiah 35:18; and Jeremiah 4:23).

NOTE: The planet Earth was created most beautiful and ultra
magnificent in perfect order. At that time, in its beginning, the
sons* of GOD – the angels of heaven beheld it and sang for joy,
(Book of Job 38:7).
ch 1:6*

ALL THE SHARPEST SPACE TELESCOPES, SUCH AS THE “HUBBLE”,


SHOW DESOLATION IN ALL THE SOLAR SYSTEM, AND HEAVENLY
BODIES BEYOND. ONLY THE PLANET EARTH MANIFEST EXCEEDING
BEAUTY AND DYNAMIC LIFE EXISTING.

ALL FOR THE USE AND
BENEFIT OF MAN. AND THE FOOD CHAIN IN A PERFECT
SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP.

ONLY THE PLANET EARTH SHOW BALANCE IN NATURE AND


THE EXISTENCE OF ACTIVE, OPERATING SYMBIOSIS AMONG
LIVING THINGS.
THE AWESOME
DESIGN AND ORDER IN CREATION IS VISIBLE, EVIDENT,
MEASURABLE, AND OBSERVABLE.
THEY ALL SHOW THE PRESENCE OF THE ALL-WISE, ALL-
KNOWING CREATOR GOD WHO MADE THEM ALL.

ALL CREATION BEARS THE SIGNATURE OF THE


OMNIPOTENT, OMNIPRESENT, CREATOR GOD.

THEY ARE FOOLS WHO SAY THERE IS NO GOD, (Book of Psalms


14:1; 53:1).

SO IT IS WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF GOD SO BELIEVE.

THE ORIGINAL CREATED EARTH BECAME…

WHY DID IT BECOME TOHUw AND BOHUw, WITHOUT FORM (IN


CONFUSION) AND VOID?
GOD CREATED THE
EARTH. PERFECT IN BEAUTY. HE IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION,
BUT DECENCY AND ORDER, (First Epistle to the Corinthians
14:33).

THE EARTH IS CALCULATED TO BE 4.5 BILLION YEARS OLD.


ALL AUTHENTIC SCIENTIFIC CALCULATIONS BEAR THAT OUT. SO
THERE WAS A TIME WHEN THE EARTH WAS NOT.

SOME BILLIONS OF YEARS LATER, THE FORMER ARCHANGEL


LUCIFER, FORMER AMGEL OF LIGHT AND CARETAKER OF PLANET
EARTH, CONNIVED WITH ONE THIRD OF THE CREATED ANGELS OF

126
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

HEAVEN. THEY CONFEDERATED IN REBELLION TO OVERTHROW


GOD. Unthinkable, yet true!

THERE WAS A WAR IN HEAVEN


THERE WAS AN INTERSTELLAR WAR IN OUTER SPACE, BETWEEN THE
FAITHFUL ANGELS OF HEAVEN. AND THE DECEIVED ANGELS. THE
REBELLIOUS ANGELS, WITH LUCIFER, WERE DEFEATED. THEIR EVIL
ACT BROUGHT RUIN AMONG THE HEAVENLY BODIES.
EARTH WAS IN CHAOS
AND BECAME VOID.
ALL CREATED LIVING
THINGS AND CREATURES BECAME EXTINCT. INCLUDING THE
PERFECTLY CREATED DINOSAURS. A PRIMEVAL WORLD OF
INCREDIBLE BEAUTY SURROUNDED THEM.

THEY WERE THE PETS OF THE ANGELS, AND THE EARTH WAS THEIR
PLAYGROUND.

THE EARTH CARETAKER ANGELS GOT BORED. AND INORDINATELY


LOOKED UP TO HEAVEN. LUCIFER, THEIR LEADER, COMMENCED HIS
DECEPTION. TO RISE UP TO THE NORTH IN THE HEAVENS, WHERE
GOD’S THRONE IS.
AND TO TAKE OVER GOD’S THRONE.
THIS WAS TO BE THE FIRST ATTEMPT OF COUP D’ETAT BY WICKED
IMMORTAL BEINGS AGAINST THEIR DIVINE CREATOR!
IN THAT ANGELIC REBELLION, ALL THE DINOSAURS PERISHED, AND
THE PRIMEVAL WORLD WITH THEM.

ONLY THEIR DISCOVERED FOSSILS PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF THEIR


PREVIOUS EXISTENCE. AND THE GIGANTIC FLORA AND FAUNA THAT
SURROUNDED THEM IN THEIR DAY.
THE CHAOS IS
EVIDENCED BY THE DEFORMED VISIBLE LAYERS OF ROCK STRATA
ALL OVER THE EARTH.

127
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

LUCIFER, THE LIGHT BRINGER, BECAME SATAN THE DEVIL. THE


ADVERSARY. AND THE REBELLIOUS ANGELS BECAME MALIGNANT
DEMONS AND WICKED SPIRITS.
THEY WERE CAST DOWN
TO THE EARTH, AND THEY ARE HERE ON EARTH TODAY.
AS THEY WERE
CREATED IMMORTAL SPIRITS, THEY REMAINED INVISIBLE, AND STAY
SO TO THIS DAY. YET THEY EXIST. WITH IMMENSE POWER. ALLOWED
TO VEX. PROVOKE. INFLUENCE,. AND TEST THE HUMAN BEINGS, THEY
CAN INDIRECTLY BRING DESTRUCTION. BUT NOT ALLOWED TO KILL
THEM DIRECTLY.

SATAN THE DEVIL IS CALLED IN THE SCRIPTURES, PRINCE OF THE


POWER OF THE AIR. THE RULER OF THIS WORLD. THEREBY, THE DEVIL
CAN BROADCAST WICKED IMPULSES INTO HUMAN MINDS.

THESE WICKED SPIRITS HAVE ONE SOLE PURPOSE: TO DESTROY THE


HUMAN RACE.

WHY?
BECAUSE THESE CREATED MORTALS, BORN OF WOMEN, FLESH AND
BLOOD, ARE THE TRUE GOD -FOREORDAINED HEIRS OF THE EARTH.
AND ULTIMATELY, THE WHOLE CREATED UNIVERSE.

THE CREATED HUMAN BEINGS ARE THE HEIRS OF SPIRITUAL


SALVATION.

THIS GLORIOUS FUTURE IS THE DESTINY OF THE HUMAN FAMILY. THIS


WONDERFUL DESTINY WAS THE ONE THEY (SATAN THE DEVIL AND THE
FALLEN ANGELS), COVETED, AND WANTED TO BE.
THE ANGELIC SPIRIT
BEINGS WERE NOT CREATED FOR THIS GLORIOUS DESTINY. THEY
WERE TO MINISTER TO THE HEIRS OF SALVATION, (Epistle to the
Hebrews 1:14). Ps. 103:20; Mat. 18:10

THE FALLEN ANGELS REFUSED AND REJECTED THIS PURPOSE FOR


WHICH THE ETERNAL CREATOR GOD MADE THEM. THEY LEFT
THEIR FIRST ESTATE, AND COVETED WHAT WAS NOT FOR THEM,
(Epistle of Jude verse 6).

ALL THESE DIVINE REVELATIONS BELIE AND DISPROVE THE ‘THEORY


OF EVOLUTION” AS A MAN MADE LIE, YET TODAY, TAKEN AS
INCREASINGLY TRUE, AND A FACT.

THE ORIGINAL MAN A PERFECT CREATION


31 “And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it
was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth
day, (Book of Genesis 1:31). THERE WAS NO HUMAN NATURE IN
THE ORIGNAL CREATED FIRST MAN, ADAM.
(“Very good” is an expression of the superlative. Absolute
perfection in every way).

WHERE DID HUMAN NATURE COME FROM?

129
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

> HUMAN NATURE commenced, or was born, in the


Garden of Eden:

6 “And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and
that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired, to make
one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat. and gave also
unto her husband with her, and he did eat. 1 Tim 2:14
WHEN the first two created human beings partook of the fruit from
the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
human nature was born in mortals. Self-will took over.
Adam, when confronted by
the LORD, did not accept the blame. Vanity and pride already
manifested in the tainted character of the first man. He pointed his
finger to Eve. Finger-pointing started thenceforth. Humility was not in
him anymore. Innocence was gone.

The LORD held the man, Adam, responsible. He was the head, the
leader, of the first family. The stronger vessel, so to speak. And so, it
shall be so, throughout all the generations of the human race. Thru all
the offsprings of mortals, flesh and blood, born of woman.
SO IT IS WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF GOD SO
BELIEVE.

> MAN-INDUCED POVERTY CAME TO BE:

“Cursed is the ground for thy sake.; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the
days of thy life. 1 Sam 15:23

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
Constant insufficiency shall dog
men’s struggles and efforts. It will be only toil and strength-draining
labors.

130
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

-------------------------------------------------------------------

18 “ Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat
the herb of the field; Ps 104:14
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the
ground; for out of it was thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt
thou return. (Book of Genesis 3:17-19). 2 Thes 2:10

Constant toil, and hard-scrabble has become the lot of the human
beings since that time till today.

All the talk by politicians and do-gooders about fighting poverty, man’s
stubborn, proud, selfish way, and self-willed multiple approaches and
trial-and-error experiments, is vanity and striving after wind.

TEACHING MANKIND TO LIVE AND WALK GOD’S WAY


IS THE TRUE SOLUTION!

Follow these that God has commanded, and you and your children shall
live, (Book of Deuteronomy 6:1-25; 7:11-26; 8:1; 9:1).

13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep his
commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing,
whether it be good, or whether it be evil,” (Book of Ecclesiastes 12:
13-14).

SO IT IS WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF GOD SO


BELIEVE.

> WHY WERE YOU BORN?

Why did the Lord GOD Almighty bring human life into
existence?

131
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

The ultimate resolution, the final bottom line of the whole


matter:

26 “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let
them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of
the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every
creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So
God created man in his own image, in the image of God created
he him; male and female created he them,” (Book of Genesis
1:26-27).

13 “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God,


and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of
men,’ (Book of Ecclesiastes 12:13).
SO IT IS WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF GOD SO

> WHAT IS ALL FOR?

Did the All-wise, all-seeing, all knowing GOD have an eternal


purpose in bringing such a life to spring from this terrestrial
plane?

4 “What is man. that thou art mindful of him? and the son of
man, that thou visitest him?
5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast
crowned him with glory and honor.
6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy
hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
Gen 1:26
7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the seas; and whatsoever
passeth through the paths of the seas.

132
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

9 O LORD< our Lord, how excellent is all thy name in all the
earth,” (Book of Psalms 8:4-9).

6 “ But one in a certain place testified, saying, “What is man


that thou art mindful of him, or the son of man, that thou visitest
him?
7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels, thou
crownedst him with glory and honor, and didst set him over the
works of thy hands: 8 Thou hast put all things in
subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him.
But now we see not yet all things put under him. (Epistle to
the Hebrews 2:6-8). Mat. 28:18; Eph. 1:22

SO IT IS WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF GOD SO BELIEVE.

> HOW DO YOU GET THERE?

How will the Most High GOD bring such an everlasting goal
for that mortal, born of woman, flesh and blood, to pass in the
process of time?

‘I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. NO MAN


COMETH TO THE FATHER BUT BY ME,” (Gospel Book of
John 14:6).

YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN


3 “Jesus answered and said unto him, ‘Verily, verily, I say
unto thee. except a man be born again, he
cannot see the kingdom of God.
ch. 1:13
4 Nicodemus said unto him, ‘How can a man be born
when he is old? can he enter the second time into his
mother’s womb, and be born?

133

5 Jesus answered, ‘Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except


a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Mark 16:16
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which
is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I say unto thee, you must be born
again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and they hearest the
sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and
whither it goeth; so is everyone that is born of the
Spirit,” (Gospel Book of John 3:3-8).
50 “Now this I say, brethren, flesh and blood can not inherit the
kingdom of God, neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:
for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Zech. 9:14
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this
mortal must put on immortality,” (First Epistle to Corinthians
15:50-53).

NOTE; CHRIST STATES THAT OUR DIRECTION


IS TO GOD THE FATHER, THRU JESUS
CHRIST, WHO IS THE DOOR TO HIM.
SO IT IS WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF GOD
SO BELIEVE.

WHAT IS YOUR FINAL DESTINY?

134
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

49 “As we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall


also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot
inherit the kingdom of God; neither do corruption inherit
incorruption.
51 Behold I show you a mystery: We shall not all sleep,
but we shall all be changed.
52 In the moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last
trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be
raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruption must put on incorruption, and this
mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on
incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on
immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that
is written, ‘Death is swallowed up in victory,
57 Thanks be to God which giveth us the vicotory,
through our Lord Jesus Christ,” (First Epistle to the
Corinthians 17: 49-57).

> WHEN WILL THIS BE?

23 “But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits;


afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming,” (First Epistle
to the Corinthians15:23).

16 “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a


shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of
God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

135
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up


together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and
so shall we ever be with the Lord, (Second Epistle to the
Thessalonians 4:16-17).

WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM


2 “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not
yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he
shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as
he is,” (First Epistle of John 3:2).
Is 56:5; Rom. 8:15; 2 Cor. 4:17

20 “For our conversation is in heaven: from whence also


we look for the Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ;
Eph. 2:8; Col. 3:1, 3
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be
fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the
workings whereby he is able to subdue all things unto
himself,” (Epistle to the Philippians 3:20-21).

When will the fulfillment of that


divine purpose of the Supreme God of
Heaven and Earth, and the whole, vast
universe, come to be?

AT THE END OF OUR


SPIRITUAL JOURNEY INTO GOD

“That they all may be one, as thou, Father, art in me, and
I in thee, that we may also be one in us,” (Gospel Book

136

24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered the


kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down
all rule, and all authority and power.
25 But he must reign till he hath put all enemies under his feet,”
(First Epistle to the Corinthians 15:24-25).

28 “And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall
the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under
him, that God may be all in all,” (First Epistle to the

thoughts and in the core of their hearts and minds,
deny His holy, and perfect Law of Love. They
denounce it as legalistic. Heavy burden. A ball and
chain. A prison. The restrictions ‘DO NOT’s, are
impositions of an unjust God. ALL THESE , THEY

3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not


once be named among you, as becometh saints. Rom
6:13; 1 Cor. 5:1
4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are
not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
5 For you know that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor
covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the
kingdom of Christ and of God. I Cor. 6:9
6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these
things cometh the wrath of Gpd upon the children of
disobedience. Jer.29:8
7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the
Lord: walk as children of light: 9 (For the fruit
of the Spirit is in all goodness and
righteousness and truth;) Gal. 5:22
10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. Rom 12:2
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,
but rather reprove them. Rom. 6:21; 1 Tim.5:20
12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are
done of them in secret.
13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest bu the

14 Wherefore he saith, ‘Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from
the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise.
16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will
of the Lord is. Col. 4:5
18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled

Hebrews 11 CHAPTER OF LIVING FAITH


1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen.
2
For by it the elders obtained a good report.
3
Through faith we understand that the worlds were
framed by the word of God, so that things which are
seen were not made of things which do appear.
4
By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent
sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness
that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts:
and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
5
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not
see death; and was not found, because God had
translated him: for before his translation he had
this testimony, that he pleased God.

147
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

6
But without faith it is impossible to please him:
for he that cometh to God must believe that he is,
and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently
seek him.
7
By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not
seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to
the saving of his house; by the which he condemned
the world, and became heir of the righteousness
which is by faith.
8
By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out
into a place which he should after receive for an
inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing
whither he went.
9
By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as
in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with
Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same
promise:
10
For he looked for a city which hath foundations,
whose builder and maker is God.
11
Through faith also Sara herself received strength
to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when
she was past age, because she judged him faithful
who had promised.
12
Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as
good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in
multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea
shore innumerable.
13
These all died in faith, not having received the
promises, but having seen them afar off, and were
persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed
that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
14
For they that say such things declare plainly
that they seek a country.

148
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

15
And truly, if they had been mindful of that
country from whence they came out, they might have
had opportunity to have returned.
16
But now they desire a better country, that is, an
heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called
their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
17
By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up
Isaac: and he that had received the promises
offered up his only begotten son,
18
Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed
be called:
19
Accounting that God was able to raise him up,
even from the dead; from whence also he received
him in a figure.
20
By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning
things to come.
21
By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both
the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon
the top of his staff.
22
By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of
the departing of the children of Israel; and gave
commandment concerning his bones.
23
By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three
months of his parents, because they saw he was a
proper child; and they were not afraid of the
king's commandment.
24
By faith Moses, when he was come to years,
refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
25
Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the
people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin
for a season;

149
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

26
Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches
than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect
unto the recompence of the reward.
27
By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath
of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is
invisible.
28
Through faith he kept the passover, and the
sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the
firstborn should touch them.
29
By faith they passed through the Red sea as by
dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were
drowned.
30
By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after
they were compassed about seven days.
31
By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them
that believed not, when she had received the spies
with peace.
32
And what shall I more say? for the time would
fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of
Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel,
and of the prophets:
33
Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought
righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the
mouths of lions.
34
Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge
of the sword, out of weakness were made strong,
waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies
of the aliens.
35
Women received their dead raised to life again:
and others were tortured, not accepting
deliverance; that they might obtain a better
resurrection:

150
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

36
And others had trial of cruel mockings and
scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and
imprisonment:
37
They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were
tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered
about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute,
afflicted, tormented;
38
(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered
in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves
of the earth.
39
And these all, having obtained a good report
through faith, received not the promise:
40
Godhaving provided some better thing for us,
that they without us should not be made perfect.

40 And to him (Gamaliel) they agreed: and when they


had called the apostles, and beaten them, they
commanded that they should not speak in the name of
Jesus, and they let them go.
41 And they departed from the presence of the council,
rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame
for his name, 4 And
daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not
to teach and preach Jesus Christ,” (Book of Acts
5:40-42)

Stephen of the earliest New Testament Church of


God, in the very time of the twelve apostles, was
one of them:
8 “And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and
miracles among the people,” (Book of Acts 6:8).
Chapter 7, from verses 2 through 60, Stephen boldly
proclaimed the true story of the people of Israel, and how he
told the ruling leaders of the religion of the Jews that their
fathers received the law by disposition of angels, AND HAVE
NOT KEPT IT. That their fathers rejected the prophets who
proclaimed the coming of the Just One (THE TRUE
MESSIAH, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST), and they betrayed
and murdered those prophets. For that unvarnished truth and
fact in the history of the God-chosen nation of Israel
recapitulated in all boldness and fearlessness, without
equivocation, before those leaders of religion, THEY STONED
STEPHEN TO DEATH,

55 “But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up stedfastly


into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on
the right hand of God,

152
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

56 And (STEPHEN) said, ‘Behold I see the heavens opened, and


the son of man standing on the right hand of God.
59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying,
‘Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. ch.9:14; Ps. 31:5; Luke 23:46

60 And he kneeled down, and crIed with a loud voice. ‘Lord,


lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell
asleep,’ (Book of Acts 6:8; 7:1-60).

THEY CONFESSED THE LORD

THE HOLY BIBLE

4 “But he answered and said, It is written, “Man shall not live by


bread alone, but by every word that comes out of the mouth of
God.” (Gospel Books of Luke 4:4 ; Matthew 4:4).

THE ETERNAL CREATOR GOD made man, He placed


him on the earth.
He breathed into his nostrils, the breath of life, and he became
a living soul. He gave life to the created man. He granted him a
space of time in which to live his days. From birth, all the way
to the grave.

3 “KNOW ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that made us,


and not we ourselves: we are his people, and the sheep of his
pasture,” (Book of Psalms 100:2-3; 119:73).

154
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

That man is to live his life. He is to live out his life. His
existence. His very and every organic constitution of his being
bespeaks bare ignorance at his beginnings. Quite unlike other
created creatures, particularly the animal kind who live by
instinct built-in to them, mankind was made to learn how to
live, using his mind, and free will.

This was so at every man’s beginnings. It remains so for every


mortal, flesh and blood, born of woman, today.

There has to be A WAY OF LIFE he must go by.

Every man is born carnal. He commences his every day life by


living by a set of rules. And disciplined personal order. Man is
not an animal that lives by instincts and automatic way of
doing things.

Man was made a human being of free will. He was made to


make decisions. Whether for ill, or for good.
Whether right, or wrong. CHARACTER is the fruit of that
way of living.
Mortal man, born of woman, flesh and blood, would need a
guide how to live. A manual how to operate the body and
mind.

HE DID NOT CREATE MAN TO DWELL AND INHABIT


THE EARTH IN ANARCHY.

ANOTHER. BY CONTINUED TRIAL AND ERROR. THE MESS IS


GETTING WORSE.

TO THOSE WHO LIVE BY MAN’S SELF-


THOUGHT, AND SELF-TAUGHT, WISDOM
The vast majority of mankind live by the recorded wisdom of
their ancients and their sages. They go by the traditions that
have taken root and grew in their native around. This has been
the way practiced by all the families and tribes, that became
countries, and nations through all the centuries. Through, as
way far back in the earliest antiquities.

All of these became their philosophy of life, individual, or


national.

A philosophy of life drawn by each and every tribe, family, or a


people, a nation, or the country’s wise men sages, teachers of
man, leading lights. Most of it set down after a process of time
of thinking. Observation. Or a moment of enlightenment.
The world is full of it. It
is mankind’s treasured legacies from their elders and
forefathers.

Each one, however bright and enlightened, good and noble, it


seems, is a product of a mind, or minds, laden with both truth
and error. Of the knowledge of good and evil. Passed on all the
way from the Garden of Eden, when the first parents of
humanity, Adam and Eve, partook of the Tree of the
knowledge of good and evil.

All of these were products of the knowledge of truth and error.


The millennial admixture in human knowledge and learning.

NOTE: THE EARLIEST FIRST CENTURY DISCIPLES AND

THEREBY, THE MODERN 21ST CENTURY DISCIPLES AND

(Second Epistle to Timothy 3:15-17).
20 “Knowing this first that no prophecy of

When read carefully and studiously, studied,

seemingly. albeit literally, blossoms, sprouts, and

seeds in the Holy Bible, by the Holy
Spirit, wondrous things come out and are seen,
and understood, by the mind’s eye.

This is true enlightenment approved, and

THE RIGHT BLESSINGS:


REFINEMENTS OF CULTURE
THE BLESSINGS OF CIVILIZATION

It is called the best of both worlds.

You have heard it. And heard it often. “God loves


the poor.” In other words, He delights that there
are so many poor, and He, the God of Providence,
who owns all the gold and silver, all the cattle of a
thousand hills, dearly loves the poor.
In other words,
God the Maker and Provider of all things good
and wonderful, “so dearly loves the poor in their
mire and muck and poverty. In their confused

165

existence” THIS IS THEIR IDEA. THE


MANTRA OF, AND FOR, THE POOR IN
MEN’S MINDS.

This absurd self-defeating concept of the


Eternal God makes of the God of all
Providence and Abundance a scrooge. A
miserable miser.

CAN YOU SEE THAT THIS IS MOST ABSURD AND


SILLY TO THINK ABOUT THE DIVINE
PROVIDENCE AND BLESSINGS OF THE GREAT
GOD?

One of the principal reasons why


Christ came, was to bring life to
mankind, and that they may have it
more abundantly.

He would lay down the very way and principles by


which, if they abide in them, they would have the true
abundant life, NOW IN THIS TIME.
To the blessed ones that did heed, listened, and did live
accordingly, the Lord Jesus Christ pronounced:

28 “Then Peter began to say unto him, ‘Lo we have left


all, and have followed thee.
29 And Jesus answered and said, ‘Verily I say unto
you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren,

166

or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands,


for my sake, and the gospel’s.
30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this
time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers,
and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the
world to come eternal life,” (Gospel Books of Mark 10:28-

IT IS TRUE, AS THEY SAY ON THE STREET:


“LITTLE KNOWLEDGE IS A DANGEROUS THING.”

FAITH ONCE DELIVERED


TO THE SAINTS
3 “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you
of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write
unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly
contend for the faith which was once delivered to the
saints,” (Epistle of Jude verse 3).

169
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

Christ Himself Delivered the Tenets


of the Faith and the Gospel of the
Kingdom Before He Ascended to Heaven

2 “Until the day in which he was taken up, after that the Holy
Spirit had given commandments unto the apostles whom he
had chosen: Mark 16:19; 1 Tim 3:16
3 To whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by
many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and
speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
Mark 16:14

8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Spirit is


come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto both in
Jerusalem, and in Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto
the uttermost part of the earth,” (Book of Acts 1:2. 3,
8).

3 “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the


common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you ,
and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith
once delivered to the saints,” (Epistle of Jude verse
3).

THIS FAITH REVOLVES AROUND THE KINGDOM


OF GOD.

> Of being born again into the Kingdom.

170
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

> Of this literal spiritual rebirth from mortality to


immortality as the goal into which every true believer
and practitioner of the faith must ceaselessly aspire.

> From terrestrial to celestial is God’s Divine design


for every human being ever born, and ever died. And
will live again.
> From
earthy, to heavenly, is God’s dream for the family of
man.
> From the
dust to which man will return in death, to the
resurrection of eternal life, is God’s Divine Vision when
man was first made “in the image, and likeness of God,”
of ELOHIYM.

> That these called out, chosen, and elected Spirit-


begotten members of the Church of the Living God will
serve Him, and endure to the end. Doing their
appointed tasks, in their job, in their true profession, in
the Proclamation of the Gospel, the Good News, of the
Kingdom of God, to all nations, in all the world, to
every creature.

That all these, God created for His Praise. For His
Honor. And for His Glory. FOR HE IS GOD!

WHAT SORT OF MEN AND WOMEN ARE


CALLED OUT OF THIS WORLD TO BECOME
PART OF THE FAITH ONCE DELIVERED?

171
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men: and the


weakness of God is stronger than men. 26 “For you see
your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the
flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called:
John7:48
27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to
confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of
the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28 And base things of the world, and things which are
despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are, to bring
to nought all things that are: Rom. 4:17; ch. 2:6
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence. Rom. 3:27
30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto
wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and
redemption: ver. 24
31 That according as it is written, ‘He that glorieth, let him
glory in the Lord,’ (First Epistle to the Corinthians 1: 25-
31).

JESUS WENT ABOUT AND LOOKED FOR HIS FIRST TWELVE


DISCIPLES, APPOINTED THEM
TO BECOME FISHERS OF MEN, AND LATER
MADE THEM HIS TWELVE APOSTLES

> Fisherman - Simon Peter


> his brother, Andrew
> James, son of Zebedee
> his brother, John

mending their nets.
(Gospel Book of Mathhew 4:4:18-21).
> John, the brother of James
> Andrew, and Philip,
> Bartholomew
> Matthew, was a tax collector.
> Thomas

172
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

> James, of Alphaeus


> Libbaeus Thaddaeus, called Jude.
> Simon, the Canaanite
> Judas Iscariot (who betrayed Christ), with skills in money
transactions, (Gospel Book of Mark 4:14-19).

Many of the twelve disciples were fishermen.

Jesus himself, was a carpenter. Carpentry being the


occupation of Joseph, a respected master carpenter, the
husband of Mary, his mother.

> Paul, formerly called Saul, was a Pharisee, He indicated he


learned and practiced as a tentmaker to earn a living, while in
his labors for the Gospel, (Book of Acts 18:1-3).

SO IN THE FIRST CENTURY CHURCH OF GOD


AMONG THE MANY THAT WERE CONVERTED TO THE
FAITH, WERE MEN AND WOMEN THAT WERE VERY
COMMON, AND VERY ORDINARY, AS THE WORLD
MEASURES THEM.

THERE WERE BUT A FEW OF NOBLE BIRTH, HIGH


RANK, OR STATUS. JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA IS ONE
SUCH A VERY FEW. IT IS KNOWN HE WAS A TIN
MERCHANT.

READ THEIR STORY:

Of the multitude of the people which heard the word


proclaimed by the apostles that became believers. There were
five thousand of them, (Book of Acts 4:1-21).

173
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

More believers were added, multitudes both of men and


women,” and a multitude came out also out of the cities
roundabout unto Jerusalem. They brought their sick and
afflicted, The apostles laid their hands on them, and they were
healed, every one, (Book of Acts5:12-16; 6:1).

7 “And the word of God increased; and the number of


disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company
of the priests were obedient to the faith.
ch. 12:24; Isa. 55:11
8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and
miracles among the people, (Book of Acts 6:7-10).

44 And the next Sabbath day came almost the whole


city together to hear the word of God, (Book of Acts
13:44-45, 48-49).

> They came from all walks of life. They were working in all
types and kinds of trades. Avocations, And occupations.
A number practiced
in the disciplines, and in the recognized professions, in those
days.
They were in the employ
of business, and in the civil, and military, governments, of that
time.
A number were
slaves, or servants, in private households of wealthy families,
or powerful men of high rank, or in office, or in private
business.
Onesimus was once a slave
of his master Philemon, before he became a Christian,
(Epistle to Philemon vs. 1-25).

THE SAME IS TRUE THROUGHOUT THE LAST


TWENTY CENTURIES OF THE CHURCH OF THE

174
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

LIVING GOD, EVEN AS THEIR STORY WAS


HIDDEN, AND IGNORED, BY HISTORIANS. FOR
THEY WERE NEVER PART OF THIS WORLD,
EVEN AS THEY WERE, AND ARE, IN THE
WORLD, (Gospel Book of John 17:14-16).
IN THE WORLD OF TODAY, AS IT IS
STRUCTURED, THE HUMAN ACTIVITIES
REVOLVE AROUND:

1. IDEAS – The conceptualization of ideas. The writing of


them. Printing of them In books, Scrolls, Magazines,
Newsletters. Booklets. Other publications. The discussion of
them In broadcast media. In forums. Conferences. In
classrooms. In schools. The spreading and dissemination of
them. Everyone who engages in them is entitled to
compensation, remuneration, commission, salary, or fee. They
are paid in forms of money, or goods with equivalent money
value.

2. SERVICES –The rendering of them, in all types and kinds.


Using knowledge and information. By both unskilled, semi-
skilled, and skilled practitioners. Involving all the activities for
earning a living to insure self-sufficiency, and security from
want and lack.

3. PRODUCTS. – The design. Fabrication. Manufacture. And


promotions and marketing, of these products for the use, and
consumption, of men.The profit or income earned from them
could be very satisfactory. Sufficient. Substantial. Or large.

The members of the Church of God, all over the world, in


both the western and eastern hemisphere were called out by

175
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

God the Father from all these spheres of human


activity. Hence, they are engaged in gainful occupations.
Trades. Vocations. Avocations, Crafts. Professions.
Employment. Businesses, as small, or medium scale,
entrepreneurs and proprietors. Any other legitimate and
profitable activities to earn their living.

The job description and titles to these activities are


multitude. Modern 21st century civilization and
technologies, scientific, computers, and digital,
information has generated and created jobs. Trade and
commerce offer many positions of gainful employment.
Food production in all its variegated disciplines opened
many job opportunities, whether they be skilled, or
semi-skilled.
In the field of
Education, they can be found as teachers, All of these,
as well as yet many unspecified others, the brethren of
the church of the Living God are at work,
today.

Organized promotions and marketing of the products


for consumption, and housing, find them engaged as
sales people, agents, or consultants, either in the field,
or in the office doing executive and managerial tasks,
and as independent contractors. Housing has opened
gainful work as architects, builders, carpenters, garden
designing, and interior designing. All these has made
income-earning work, jobs, or profitable interaction
with serious, busy people in the business of life and
living, available and possible.

176
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

They are enjoined to be quiet and be busy, diligent, and


honest, law-abiding, in their dealings and interaction
with the peoples of the world, with their fellowmen.
They are enjoined to love their jobs and enjoy their
work.
The brotherhood,
of the household of God, in dedicated labors of serving
and doing in the midst of the world. In so doing, they
fulfill the teaching and will of the Lord Jesus Christ, the
Saviour, to become the salt of the earth, and the light of
the world.

“I EXHORT therefore, that first of all, supplications,


prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for
all men;
2 For kings, and for all that are in authority: that we
may lead a quiet and peacable life in all godliness and
honesty.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God
our Saviour; Rom. 12:2; 2 Tim 1:9

4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to know and to


come to the knowledge of the truth,” (First Epistle to
Timothy 2:1-4).

Yes, everywhere in the world, they


could be found: >>>>

They are accountants. Janitors. Care


givers. Teachers, in all levels.
Farmers, Gardeners, Orchardists.

177

Secretaries. Nurses. Clerks. Salesmen.


Traders. Merchants. Consultants.
Insurance and real estate agents. Truck

Telephone operators. Foresters.
Waiters. Chambermaids. Factory workers.
Care givers. Barbers. Beauticians.
Masseurs. Construction workers.
Architects. Interior designers.
Delivery man.
And, yes, tax revenue collectors like
Matthew, the disciple of Jesus. And
fishermen, like Simon and Peter, like
his brother Andrew, and the other
fishermen with him that were first
called by Jesus, the Christ of God.

ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

knowledge of the son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the
measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to

sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie

according to the effectual working in the measure of
every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying

SO IT IS WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING

LIKE THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL, THE


GOOD NEWS CAME FIRST, AHEAD OF THE BAD

182
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

THERE WILL BE TRIALS,


PERSECUTIONS, AND TRIBULATIONS

It is not a bed of roses.


Fiery trials ahead.
Persecution afoot.
Tribulation at the corner of the road.

“Remember the word that I said unto you. The servant is


not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me,
they will also persecute you; ...” (Gospel Book of

THE ROLE OF ANGELS ON THE


CHURCH OF GOD

184
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

14 “Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to


minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?,”
(Epistle to the Hebrews1:14). Ps. 103:2; Mat. 18:1;
Mat. 18:10

THE ANGELS OF HEAVEN


THE HEAVENLY HOSTS

MINISTERING ANGELS TO THE HEIRS OF


SALVATION

ANGELS OF LIGHT

Mankind throughout the ages had it written in their


chronicles of their direct experiences with invisible
beings that ministered help to those in times of most
crucial need.

Little babies were kept alive in the rubble of


landslides. Crushed buildings laid low by massive
earthquakes, or ruined by devastating floods. Little
children survived airplane crashes.

These are amazing proofs of invisible angels


responsible to rescue these helpless babies and
children. God be praised! For He sent those angels
of heaven to do these astonishing acts of mercy
and deliverance for God’s jewels in His creation.

185
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

THE ANGELS ARE GUARDIAN ANGELS OF


MORTALS, FLESH AND BLOOD, BORN OF
WOMEN

They are under instructions to watch over the entire


human family, lest they prematurely extinguish, self-
destruct, and eliminate themselves. Unbeknownst to
these proud flesh and blood mortals, the angels of
heaven are there on God’s instructions, to prevent
irreversible human destruction by self-willed, crazed
leaders of peoples and nations.

They are invisible and strong spirits. They only show


themselves briefly, if necessary, under very necessary
circumstances. With their mission done, they again
disappear.

Accounts in the Scriptures show that they appear


when events are in the extreme and fatal for mortals.
The background helper who dare appear as human
beings. They do the necessary. And then go…..

THE ANGELS APPEARED IN THE NEW


TESTAMENT ACCOUNTS.

> An angel, the archangel Gabriel, appeared to


Zecharias to announce to him the conception in
Elizabeth, his wife, and coming birth of his son, the
prophet John the Baptist, who will be the voice in the
wilderness to pave the way, and proclaim the birth

186
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

and coming of Jesus, the Son of man, and son of God,


in the flesh, who will be called Emmanuel (God
with us), (Gospel Book of Luke 1:11-19; 76-80).
> The archangel Gabriel was sent from God anew, six
months later, unto the city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a
virgin named Mary, To announce to her that she will conceive
in her womb, and bring forth a son, and the child’s name will
be called ‘JESUS’. The child will grow up to be great, and shall
be called the Son of the highest. She was told
that the Holy Spirit, the power of the
Highest, shall come upon her. That the Holy
Spirit will overshadow her. And Jesus shall be born of
her, who shall be called the Son of God,

> The angel of the Lord came upon the shepherds


abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock
by night. The angel announced to them”
10 “Fear not: for behold, I bring you good tidings of
great joy, which shall be, to all people, 11 For unto you is
born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ
the Lord.” (Gospel Book of Luke 2:8-11), Gen. 12;3; Mat. 28:19;
Mark 1:15

> In that same historic time,:


13 “And suddenly there was with the
angel a multitude of the heavenly host
praising God, and saying,
Gen. 26:12

14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth


peace, goodwill toward men. ch. 28:12

187
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

15 And it came to pass, as the angels


were gone away from them into heaven,
the shepherds said one to another, ‘Let us
now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this which the
Lord hath made known unto us,
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and
Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger,” (Gospel
Book of Luke 2:8-16).
> Angels
came to minister to Jesus after his victorious spiritual
battle, right after he had fasted forty days and forty
nights, against Satan the devil, (Gospel Book of Matthew
4:1-10, 11).

> An angel from heaven appeared to strengthen


Jesus in his moment of agonizing prayer, knowing
He was going to face suffering and death for the sins,
and the redemption of all mankind, (Gospel Book of Luke
22:43).

> The angel of the Lord opened the unlocked prison


doors to let the imprisoned apostle Peter out, (Book of
Acts 12: 1-6, 7, 9-11).

> The angel of God was there to save the apostle


Paul in the tempest-tossed ship in the stormy ocean
near the island of Crete, (Book of Acts 27:23)._

> The angel showed in vision the final, last


end time events, and city of God to the

188
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

beloved apostle John, in exile, in the island of


Patmos, (Book of Revelation 22: 1-8).
ALL THESE ACCOUNTS DEMONSTRATE AND CLEARLY SHOW TO THE
CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD, EVEN TO THE REST OF
THE WORLD, THAT ANGELS ARE MINISTERING SPIRITS, SERVANTS OF
THE GOD OF HEAVEN . THEY ARE HIS MESSENGERS SENT
FROM TIME TO TIME TO PERFORM AND FULFILL A SPECIFIC
IMPORTANT MISSION, OR TASK. TO DELIVER A MESSAGE FR0M THE
LORD GOD MOST HIGH. AND IN OTHER TIMES TO
ASSIST AND HELP. THEN, AFTER EACH MISSION DONE, THEY
DISAPPEAR. AND RETURN TO HEAVEN, AND REPORT BACK TO GOD.
> IN SODOM AND GOMORRAH, TWO ANGELS APPEARED TO LOT, IN
HUMAN FORM, TO SAVE LOT AND HIS FAMILY, BEFORE THEY WERE TO
DESTROY THE SINFILLED TWIN CITIES WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE,
AND THIS THEY DID. (Book of Genesis ).

THEY ARE NOT TO BE COMMUNICATED TO, AS THE ATTEMPTS ARE


BEING MADE BY SOME. NOT TO BE PRAYED TO. NOT TO BE
WORSHIPPED. WORSHIP OF ANGELS IS ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN BY
THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY.

SO IT IS WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF THE


LIVING GOD SO BELIEVE.

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?

LUCIFER, THE FORMER LIGHTBRINGER AND


THE FALLEN ANGELS TURNED INTO SATAN
THE DEVIL AND MALIGNANT DEMONS AND
WICKED SPIRITS

189
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

ALIENS IN YOUR MIDST


Are there aliens among human beings?

What about the UFOs?

Are they the “watchers” from a far away planet with


big round eyes and strange looking bodies as the
Hollywood 3D movies on big screen, celluloid, DVDs,
and illustrators, and painters, depict them?

What about the claimed sightings? Of UFOs


flying at incredible speeds with strange lights, as
testified to by increasing numbers? Including
photographs taken by their cellphone cameras?

NEVER DABBLE OR TRAFFIC WITH MALIGNANT


DEMONS AND EVIL, WICKED SPIRITS.

NEVER, NEVER, EVER TRAFFIC OR DABBLE

THE DEVIL IS LIKE A ROARING LION EVER


SEEKING, 24 HOURS A DAY, BEING IMMORTAL,
NON-STOP, SEEKING WHOM IT MAY DEVOUR,
8 “Be sober, be
vigilant, because your adversary the devil, as a roaring
lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.
9 Whom resist, stedfast in the faith, knowing that the
same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that
are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace,
who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ
Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you
perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you,” (First Epistle
5:8-10).

SUPERNATURAL BEINGS?

People wonder if Satan the devil, and his fallen angel


legions now malignant demons and wicked spirits, are
supernatural beings?

Yes, they are.

That is extremely bad news.

Very bad for mortals, flesh and blood, born of women.

Pitted against wicked perverted, twisted, cruel,


merciless devils, and similarly, malignant demons
wicked, evil spirit, they are helpless, it appears.

191
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

WHERE COULD WEAK HUMAN BEINGS TURN


TO FOR HELP THEN?

They were, in their former estate and nature as created


by the Eternal Creator God, angels of heaven,
supernatural spirit beings.

Turned into demons thru rebellion against the GOD OF


HEAVEN, and cast down to the earth, they are roaming
around, twisted, perverted supernatural spirit beings.
Invisible to the naked eye. Their glorious spirit power
gone, they are manifesting to human beings as dim
pockets and balls of dim light. BEWARE OF THEM.

Chapter Eleven

THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF


GOOD AND EVIL

16 “And the LORD God commanded the man, saying,


‘Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evll,
thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest
thereof thou shalt surely die,” (Book of Genesis 2:16-
17).

WHAT IS THE GOOD IN THE KNOWLEDGE?

194
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

Thus, the good news came first.

In God’s order of the acts, this is the way He has


scripted the story of human affairs. On the world’s
stage, as Shakespeare would have it, so to speak.

Over time, the good intermingled with the evil.

It was like on a weighing scale at the beginning.

They were at balance, on day 1. Equal in weight it


seems, at the commencement.

In the process of time, the aggregation of evil acts


made the side of evil heavier. And every evil act
produced a heavier weight of consequences for doing
evil.

In the final accounting, massive evil weighed down


mankind on the weighing scale. Massive evil, made
violence and wickedness soaked mankind through,
and thru. It led to the destruction of the human race.
God made the judgment in that day, (Book of Genesis
6:5-6,11-13, 17-24(.

In the Great Flood in Noah’s day, the punishment for


total evil in the human family was complete extinction
in the floodwaters that enveloped the whole earth.

Except for Noah and his family. All eight of them


lived through the Flood, kept alive in Noah’s Ark.

195
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

Because Noah walked with God. He was not a


partaker of the evil in the knowledge of good and evil.
He lived in the righteousness of the good, in the same
knowledge of good and evil. The good news was the
shining part of his life, (Book of Genesis 6:8-9).

WHAT IS THE EVIL IN THE KNOWLEDGE?


At the end of the day, the evil in the knowledge, came
after the good, in that order.

Look in the word dictionary. Look in any thesaurus.

Words that pertain to the good, are few, yet weighty.

Light, for example. It shines on all. It brightens


all the darkness, and dissipates, evil works, so to
speak.

Good health in a healthy person makes that


person clean and clear, so to speak. There are no
infectious diseases or weakness in his body system.
There are no complications he suffers from.
He is not
cluttered in his thoughts and in his ways, and his life
is simplified in goodness and righteousness, and in the
good on the scale.

196
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

> Confusion and proliferation of garbage in


darkness. Dirt and filth spreads around
uncontrolled, in the evil side on the scale:

In the evil side of the scale, you see all the


multiplying complications., and endless attempts to
find solutions You witness the myriad problems as a
result of the evil things in the evil side of the scale of
knowledge of good and evil.

And, thus, it gets murkier and heavier.

Words that pertain to the evil, bad, and wrong, are


many. It simply is too much to cope with by flesh and
blood mortals. It renders them unable to cope.

The consequences are so many.

The results in diseases are so many.

The consequences in crimes are so mind boggling.


For they are so many. They are self-cloning, and
multiplying like bacteria and germs. Infectious
diseases multiply and spread rapidly in the human
body system.

A two volume encyclopedia is required to catalogue


diseases, and crimes, separately:

Volume 1- Diseases and Complications

197
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

Volume 2- Crimes and Consequences

Such is the nature and composition of evil.

THE POWER OF DECEPTION

The old serpent in the Garden of Eden employed the


power of deception to draw Eve, the mother of all
living, to partake of the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil.
That proved to be the devil’s main weapon to bring
evil, and its myriad fruits, into the human family, and
evil in the world Satan the devil has crafted for man
to be entangled in.

Chapter Twelve

THE TREE OF LIFE


A
“ nd the LORD God said, ‘Behold, the man is become
as one of us, to know good and evil, and now lest he put
forth his hand, and take also of the tree of
life, and eat, and live for ever,

198
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of


the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword
which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree
of life,” (Book of Genesis 3:22, 24).

THE MYSTERY OF THE TREE OF LIFE

Why did God use the Tree as a symbol?

The LORD God of the Old Testament chose


to use the TREE as a symbol. Having
created the tree, and designed it to be
a repository and demonstration of the
most astonishing biological systems and
principles, all of life, all analogous
and perfect parallel to the human body
and being, which was wonderfully and
fearfully made. From all the way down
to the lowest root, each and every
rootlet, fiber, and strand.

This makes the tree able to absorb all


the biological sustenance of nutrients
from the very earth, the very ground in
which it is standing.

And the tree grows. From a seed, that


buds and grows. To a sapling. A
seedling. As the human being, from a
sperm, to an embryo.

199
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

They both grow. With perfectly parallel


principles.
The trunk and the branches, are like
the human body and the legs and arms!

The tree and the human being receive


nourishment from the earth, water, and
the air, and energy from the sun, and
the light energy of the same sun, and
from the transforming blessing of the
dew that falls from heaven at night.

All micro and macro principles operate


in perfect parallel. Living cells dwell
both in the tree and in the human body.

The tree grows, and stands on the same


ground. Unless transplanted, or
replanted to some other places.

The human being, grows and lives on the


same earth. Not in some other planet.
Even as he moves around, he is gravity-
bound, living, standing, so to speak,
on the same terrestrial ground, same
terra firma.

So God has used the TREE.

WHAT IS THE LIFE IN THE TREE OF LIFE?

200
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

Christ, some four thousand years later,


revealed in person, to His disciples,
all mortals, flesh and blood, born of
women, that He is the Way, the Truth,
and the Life.
6 “Jesus saith unto him, ‘I am the way, the truth,
and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but
by me,” (Gospel Book of John14:6).

YES, >>>> JESUS, THE CHRIST OF GOD, IS


THE LIFE IN THE TREE OF LIFE!

And so it is that your life


in its entirety, must begin,
be lived, and end, and
ultimately be fulfilled in
Christ.

Mystery of the Church of the Living God

O lder than time when it began, before the


foundation of the world, are the spiritual values
revealed from GOD in this Sacred Golden Scroll Series.

> Love
love defining the GOD of
Creation is also the very foundation of His making the
whole vast expanding universe, IN THE BEGINNING,
(Book of Genesis 1:1). God is Love, (First Epistle of John
4:8). The demonstrated manifestation of awesome order and
design, and the immense beauty in all the heavenly bodies, and

202
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

especially, planet Earth, beheld thru the sharpest space


st
telescopes of the 21 century reflects the divine love behind
their creation. They are there made for the future immortal
children of God the Father whom God loves.
14 “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the
sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear;
but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry,
‘Abba, Father.’
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are
the chidren of God. Job 32:8 Eccl 3:21; 12:7. Zech 12:1
17 And if children, then heirs, heirs of God, and joint heirs
with Christ, if so be that we suffer with him, that we may also be
glorified together.
18 For I reckon thst the sufferings of this present are not
worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in
us. 2 Cor 4:17; 1 Pet 1:6

19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the


manifestation of the sons of God.,”
(Epistle to the Romans 8:14-19).
2 Pet 3:13

LOVE among mortals comes by nature in two: From the


Greek word: eros, physical love… and the other,
philia, derived from philadelphia.…brotherly love.
Both of these are temporal.
> Eros is mostly
physical romantic love, as understood in the world. Partways,
this often form the basis for the strong bonding between two
persons with a long maturation. This is essential in the raising
of children, and the continuation of the human family, and its
units, and extensions, or human species to evolutionists and
scientists. The example of parents who have partnered in
balance and constancy is essential to the growing of children

203
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

and make them to thrive emotionally and psychologically. The


deprivation of human families of this eros produces
dysfunctional families. This is endemic in today’s modern
societies. Two thirds of every marriage that ends in bitter
divorce could be traced to the death of eros in marriages.

> Philia is brotherly love. The filial love between


parents and their children. The love between friends. Love of
neighbor. Love of one’s kin’s and folks. The empirical self. The
love of the bloodline and family tree. Love of country. The love
and caring about something or someone else other than you is
ennobling. This form and kind of intense love bears
transcendent fruit in you. This philia grows into altruism. A
selfless emotion of mature love that ennobles human
character.
When love attains the
height of sweeping selflessness, of devotion, stedfast
commitment and unfailing care for others’ welfare and
happiness than you do your own. This, ultimately.
becomes the shining cornerstone in the building of the
truly civilized community and society of loving and
caring men, and of civilization itself. Without this, all
civilization goes thru the historic cycle of enthusiastic
commencement, with enlightenment, growth, sustained
building, then familiarity and boredom, then
degeneration, immorality, apathy, cynicism, despair,
and decay, finally >>> collapse, quite rapidly.

> The love of, for, and from, God is agape. It is


divine, spiritual love, manifested in mortals, flesh and blood,
born of women, that is deathless. Boundless. Infinite. Forever.

204
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

Everlasting. It is most wonderful. Who can describe its


glorious splendour? Only those that are filled and living with
agape, in their hearts, minds, whole being,
understanding, can.

> LIGHT
> God is light, (First Epistle of John 1:5).
This is the mother of all doctrines. The very doctrine
from which all spiritual doctrines emanate. Even as
God dwells in unapproachable light.

5 “This then is the message which we have heard of him,


and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him
is no darkness at all. ch 3:33; John 1:9
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk
in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth.
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have
fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus
Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin,” (First Epistle
of John 1:5-7). 1 Cor 6:11; Eph 1:7; Heb 9:14

“You are the light of the world,” (Gospel Book of Matthew


5:14).

35 “Then Jesus said unto them, “Yet a little while is the


light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness
come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth
not where he goeth. ch 1:9

205
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

36 While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye


may be children of light.’ These things spake Jesus, and
departed, and did hide himself from them,” (Gospel Book
of John 12:35-36).

> CHRIST IS LIFE


“ I AM the resurrection and the LIFE: he that believeth in me,
though he were dead, yet shall he live” (Gospel Book of John
11:25).

“I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE: NO MAN COMETH TO THE
FATHER BUT BY ME, John 14:5) Heb 9:8; ch. 8:32

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST REVEALED HE IS LIFE


PERSONIFIED. HE DEMONSTRATED HOW IT IS TO
BE LIFE IN WORD, IN THOUGHT, IN SPIRIT, IN
DEED, AND IN ACTION. TO BE SO, ONE MUST
LOVE. THINK LOVE. SPEAK LOVE. EAT LOVE.
DRINK LOVE. YOUR WHOLE LIFE, MIND, HEART,
ENTIRE BEING, MUST REVOLVE, VIBRATE, SPIN IN
HARMONIOUS FREQUENCY, ABOUT LOVE. THE LOVE
OF GOD WHO IS LOVE.

THIS SACRED GOLDEN SCROLL Series XCI NOW


REVEALS FROM GOD.

28 “And we know that all things work together for good to


them that love God, to them who are called according to
his purpose.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall
tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness,
or peril, or sword?

206
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

36 As it is written, ‘For thy sake we are killed all the day long;
we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay in all these things we are more than conquerors through
him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels,
nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to
come. Eph. 1:21
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to
separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our
Lord,” (Epistle to the Romans 8:28-39).

The secret of that quickening life is disclosed by Jesus,


the Christ of God.
Listen,
disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ:
12 “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. Mat 21:21
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that I will do, that
the Father may be glorified in the Son. Mat
7:7, 21. 22
14 If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. verses 21. 23.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another
Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever.
17 Even the Spirit of truth: whom the world can not
receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him; but ye
know him; for he dwelleth with you, and he shall be in
you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless. I will come to you.

207
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye


see me, because I live; ye shall live also.
ch 16:16
20 At that day, ye shall know that I am in my Father, and
I in you. ch
10:38
21 He that hath my commandments: and keepeth them, he it is
that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my
Father, and I will love him, and I will manifest myself to
him. 1 John 2:5; 5:3
22 And Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it
that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
Luke 6:16

23 If a man
And Jesus answered and said unto him,
love me, he will keep my words: and my
Father will love him, and we will come
unto him, and make our abode with him,”
(Gospel Book of John 14:12-23). 1 John 2:24

Mercy is the hallmark of the divine nature and
character of the Most High God. His mercy endures

208
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

forever. From everlasting to all everlasting, to all of


them that fear Him. (Book of Psalms 103:17). As the
heaven is high above the earth is God’s mercy, (Book of
Psalms 103:11; 145:8).
The Scriptures is full of the revelation of God’s
enduring mercy, (Books of First Chronicles 16:34; Ezra
3:11; Psalms 100:1; 107:1; 118:1; 136:1; to the end –
prophet Jeremiah 33:1).

> JUSTICE
JUSTICE was missing and
ignored in the religion of the Jews in the days of Jesus,
the Son of man, while he was on earth among the Jews.
For while the religious leaders, the scribes and the
Pharisees, were most meticulous and strict on the tenets
of the codified Law, and in their oppressive,
UNFORGIVING additions to their interpretations of it,
and the keeping of them, justice was missing. In this
particular specific instance: about STRICT TITHING.
The absolute demand and collection, or payment to the
utmost farthing, of it. Justice went missing, it was
banished out, and along with mercy, and faith. These
three were blanked out. By their very acts, the letter of
the Law killed. Justice, mercy, and faith would have
made it give life. The Lord Jesus Christ rebuked
them, (Gospel Books of Matthew 23:23; Luke 11:42). They
ended up full of hypocrisy, and were likened to
whitened sepulchers, (Gospel Books of Matthew 23:27;
hypocrites – ch 15:7; 16:23; Mark 7:6; Luke 12:56).

209
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

> JUSTICE

JUSTICE defined is uprightness. Righteousness


exercised in the treatment of others, particularly
by people of high rank and men in authority, with
the power of command. And of those given the
opportunity to teach, even to rule others. It begins
with the father of his own household: his wife, and
children. He must be just whenever the occasion
arises and justice is the need of the moment.

“Keep the way of the LORD, to do justice.” (Book


of Genesis 18:19). IT CAN ONLY TRULY BE MADE
POSSIBLE IF THE WAY OF GOD IS MADE
APPLICABLE.
“Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne:
mercy and truth shall go before thy face.
15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they
shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.
Ps 98:6
16 In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy
righteousness shall they be exalted.
17 For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy
favour our horn shall be exalted.
18 For the LORD is our defense; and the Holy One of
Israel is our king, (Book Psalms 89:14-18).

> FAITH

210
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

Faith as defined,
is “The substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seen”, (Epistle to the
Hebrews11:1). Material, physical substance is the heart
and essence of every organic matter.
Spiritual substance is the
inmost essence, profoundest meaning, and deepest
purpose, of every spiritual value. This directly refers to
what man, flesh and blood, born of woman, truly
believes in his heart of hearts, so to speak. “Without
faith,” the Scriptures assert, “it is impossible to please
God,” (Epistle to the Hebrews 11:6).
The presence of faith is the proof of the presence and
existence of the world of the invisible. Things not seen
by the naked eye.

Unremitting, unwavering faith makes possible the


impossible.

> “ASK, AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN YOU,” (Gospel


Books of Matthew 7:7-8; 21:22; Luke 11:9).

> > ASK IN PRAYER, WITH SUPPLICATIONS,


(Book of Acts 11:4; Ephesians 6:18; Philippians 4:6). AND
BOLDNESS, (Epistle to the Hebrews 4:16).

> “YOU MUST ASK IN UNWAVERING BELIEF.


DOUBT NEGATES, EVEN BLOCKS, THE ANSWER
YOU ASK FOR. (Gospel Book of Matthew 21:21).

211
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

> ASK GOD FOR THE VERY FAITH BY WHICH YOU


CAN BELIEVE THESE THINGS.

ASK TO BE GRANTED THE FAITH IN, AND OF CHRIST


TO COME INTO YOUR HEART AND MIND TO BELIEVE
THAT WHAT YOU ASK FROM GOD WILL BE GRANTED,
OR GIVEN.

> THE ORIGINAL APOSTLES ASKED THE LORD JESUS


CHRIST FOR HIM TO INCREASE THEIR FAITH. SO

> TRUTH

212
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

“Sanctify them through thy word. Thy word is truth,”(Gospel


Book of John 17:17).

The WORD OF GOD sets apart the members of the


Body of Christ. It enables them by revelation, and
understanding given by Christ, thru the Holy Spirit, of
THE WORD to live BY THE SACRED WORD. They
LIVE, thereby, BY EVERY WORD THAT COMES
OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD. Doing so, separates
them apart from the rest of the carnal, secular world of
man in the land of the living who continue to be the
living walking dead., (Epistles to the Ephesians 2:1, 5;
Colossians 2:13).
All these in the world
live by, and do their own
thing. Guided by their man-made persuasions and
convictions. Abetted by the invisible prince of the power
of the air: Satan the devil, and his legions of demons
and wicked spirits, IN SOME PARTS
ACKNOWLEDGING GOD, YET REFUSE TO LIVE
BY EVERY WORD. IN SOME PARTS, GOD IS
DENIED. AND SO REFUSE TO LIVE BY THE
WORD.

> VISION

Without vision, the people perish, (Book of Proverbs


29:18). It is vision, particularly spiritual vision, that impels

213
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

individuals, and people, to persevering action with


unremitting faith. To carry on keeping on against all difficult
and impossible odds. To ever continue to overcome till success
is attained.

SPIRITUAL VISION COMES FROM GOD.

The patriarch Abraham had living, unremitting faith,


with the profoundest vision. They were the twin
underpinnings of his life.

He believed the LORD God, and believed absolutely.


Whatever the LORD God told him to do, he went on to
obey the LORD God’s instructions, even to sacrifice his
only son, by his wife Sarah, Isaac, (Book of Genesis 22:1-
18).

He was called God’s Friend, a most unique honor


not granted by the LORD God to any other mortal,
(Book of the Second Chronicles 20:7; Epistle of James
2:23).
He received not the
promise while he lived, YET HE looked beyond, with
unwavering, clearest vision, and living faith, to the city
afar off, to the city not made with hands, whose
Builder and Maker is God!, (Epistle to the Hebrews
11:8-10). ch
12:22; Rev 21:10

ABRAHAM looked beyond his day and time,


into the new world to come. Even
farther than the moment of the long

214
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

awaited return of the Lord Jesus


Christ in the end of days.

Beyond the death, and resurrection of


the Lord Jesus Christ, the firstborn
from the dead, (He died, gave up the spirit – Gospel
Books of Matthew 27:50; HE IS RISEN – Matthew 8:6; 27:53;
Mark 16:6).

Beyond into the demise of wicked human


civilization. The end of the world,
(Gospel Book of Matthew 24:2).

Watched in awe at the First


Resurrection of the firstfuits, in
which he would be one, amongst, (Book of
Revelation 20:6).

That they will rise first. And saw in


vision those very elect of the saints
left alive transformed from mortal to
immortal in the twinkling of of an eye,
(First Epistle to the Corinthians 15:51-54; Firs Epistle
to the Thessalonians 4:14-16).

He saw as they rose into the air to


meet the returning Great God and
Saviour. (First Epistle to the Thessalonians 4:17).

He envisioned them descend and set


their foot on the Mount of Olives
following the Divine Messiah, to
commence the government and rule of the

215
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

Kingdom of God on Earth, (Book of the prophets


Zechariah 14:1-5; 9; Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3; Revelation
5:10) Jer. 20:5; Zech. 8:21; Luke 24:47; Ps. 46:9; Ps. 72:3, 7

Lingered awhile to the commencement of


the Millennium. The rebuilding of the
whole earth into a worldwide Garden of
Eden. And paused through the wonderful
Millennial Utopia, (Book of the prophet Isaiah
11:6; 65:21-25).

Saw it all through the Second


Resurrection of all those that ever
lived, and ever died, (Book of Revelation 20:12-
13).

Through the 100-Year Judgment Period,


(Book of the prophet Isaiah 65:20).

And the greatest celebration in all


history: The Wedding of Christ with His
Bride, the Church of God! (Book of Revelation
19:7-9).

On beyond…. >>>> into the glorious City


of God, in the New Heaven and the New
Earth. In to that time when he will be
among the foremost among the
resurrected, immortal sons, the
children of God, under the Lord Jesus
Christ, the King of kings, and Lord of
lords, in the Divine Family, and the
Government, of the Kingdom of God, (Book
of Revelation chapter 21-22).

“NOW therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes
and judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that
ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the
LORD God of your fathers giveth you. Lev
19:37
2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command
you, neither shall ye diminish aught from it, that ye may
keep the commandments of the LORD your God which
I command you.
5 Behold I have taught you statutes and judgments, as
the LORD my God commanded me, that you should do
so in the land whither ye go to possess it.
6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom
and your understanding in the sight of the nations,

218
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

which shall hear of these statutes, and say, “Surely this


great nation is a wise and understanding people.”
Job 28:26; Ps. 19:7
7 For what nation is there so great who hath God so
nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things
that we call upon him for? 2 Sam 7:23

8 And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes


and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set
before you this day?
9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul
diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes
have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the
days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy son’s
sons; Prov 4:23

10 Specially the day that thou stoodest before the


LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto
me, ‘Gather me the people together, and I will make them
hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days
that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may
teach their children.
12 And the LORD spake unto you...
13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he
commanded you to perform, even ten commandments;
and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.
ch 9:9; Ex 34:28
14 And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach
you statutes and judgments, that ye should do them in the
land whither ye go over to possess it,” (Book of
Deuteronomy 4:1-14).

PARAPHRASE:

TO THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH OF


GOD
“NOW therefore hearken, O Church of the
Living God, unto the statutes and
judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that
you may live, and go in and possess your spiritual
inheritance which the LORD God of your fathers gives
you. Lev 19:37

commanded me, that you should do so in the Way of
life, of faith, whither you go to walk on all the days of
your life in the flesh..
6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom
and your understanding in the sight of the nations, and
peoples of the earth, which shall hear of these spiritual

7 For what church is there so great who has God so


near unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things
that we call upon him for? 2 Sam 7:23
8 And what church is there so great, that has spiritual
statutes and spiritual judgments so righteous as all this
law of perfect love, which I set before you this day?
9 Only take heed to yourself, and keep your soul
diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes
have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the
days of your life: but teach them your sons, and your
son’s sons;
Prov 4:23

10 Specially the day that you stood before the Lord


God when you were baptized, and made your spiritual
covenant with the Lord God, and His Christ, His
beloved Son the Lord Jesus Christ, when the LORD
said unto me, ‘Gather me the members of the church,
the saints in assemblies and in congregations of
worship services together, and I will make them hear
My Words, that they may learn to fear Me all the days
that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may
teach their children.
12 And the LORD spake unto you...
13 And he declared unto you His Spiritual Covenant,
which He commanded you to perform, even Ten
Commandments of Love; and He wrote them
upon two spiritual tables in your heart and
mind. ch 9:9; Ex 34:28

14 And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach


you spiritual Statutes and spiritual Judgments, that you

should do them, in this your life of the faith once


delivered to the saints,, whither you go over to possess
your spiritual inheritance,” (IN PARAPHRASE OF THE Book
of Deuteronomy 4:1-14).

THESE ARE THE TEN SPIRITUAL VALUES.


THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE
SPIRITUAL VALUES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
REVOLVING AROUND PERFECT SPIRITUAL
LOVE BOUND IN RADIANT AGAPE
AS WELL AS EMANATING FROM IT

“These are the statutes and judgments, which


ye shall observe to do in the land, which the
LORD God of thy fathers giveth to possess it,
all the days that ye live upon the earth,” (Book of
Deuteronomy 12:1; 4:1-10; 6:1-3; 11:18-22).

“Wherefore the law is holy, and the


commandment holy, just, and good,”
(Epistle to the Romans 7:12).

TWO FOREMOST SERVANTS OF GOD IN


ALL HISTORY TO EMULATE

ENOCH walked with God, (Book of


Genesis 5:22-24).

He did not see death. ‘He was not, and God took him.’ He died
in his sleep, and was not conscious when he died. after 365
years. “He was translated, that he should not see death,” {See Elijah: 2
Ki 2:11-12; Heb. 11:5}. In the prophet Elijah’s case, at the latter
point, while alive, He was taken up into the atmosphere, the
first heaven, on a chariot, and carried back to earth. To terra
firma, so to speak. Like Moses, who went to die in an
undisclosed place, else the people will go and deify his bones.
Make a religious icon out of it. Or worship his bones, (Book of

223
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD – Volume I

God did not


Deuteronomy 32:49-50; 34:5-7; Num 27:27;12-14).
allow such things. And so in the same manner and principle
was Enoch.

NOAH walked with God, (Book of


Genesis 6:9).

Noah and his family, eight of them altogether, lived thru


the Great Flood that drowned all living human beings,
in their tens of billions in their day, when it came upon
the whole earth. Because the righteous Noah “WALKED
WITH GOD!”

YOU CAN!
THE CHURCH OF GOD, RECIPIENT AND
HOLDERS, ALBEIT HEIRS, OF ALL THESE
PRICELESS KNOWLEDGE OF THE GLORIOUS
TRUTH, AND THE REVELATION OF THE
MYSTERY OF SALVATION, ARE BIDDEN, AND
HELD, RESPONSIBLE TO, AND MUST, WALK
WITH GOD.

The Secret of Everlasting Success

Allow us to pass it on to you.

Christ Jesus, The Son of GOD, have one unremitting MAGNIFICENT


OBSESSION. Read it.

JESUS SAID UNTO THEM: “MY MEAT IS TO DO THE WILL OF HIM THAT
SENT ME, AND TO FINISH HIS WORK,” (John 4:34).

To DO the WILL, and to FINISH THE WORK of His Father, GOD THE
FATHER, absolutely, totally, without any micro-iota of doubt, was His
everlasting

ON

obsession. It was the raison d’etre, the rationale, the locus and focus of His
Mind, It was the fixed reference point. It was the very lever, the innermost
motivation and deep-seated drive, of His presence on earth. The driving
force of His manifestation on earth. The back of His mind, mental force on
terrestrial ground, the heavenly correspondence and connection of His mortal
being, in the flesh for 33 1/2 years. He was totally committed, completely
absorbed, to finish His Father's Work, To His last seconds of His dying breath,
His consciousness was on God’s Work. He had a job to do.. . And
that,

HE DID!

When that Phase of God's Work for which purpose He was sent to earth and
manifest in mortal, human, flesh and blood, form was over, He cried on the
upright crude stake, at the very exact moment before He literally died, He said on
that wooden stake, “IT IS FINISHED” (John 19:30). Has anybody ever really
understood the immensity, the unfathomable depth of that moment of total
sacrifice of the Son of God for the forgiveness of all the sins of all mankind? Of
the total, collective SIN of everyone who was ever born, lived, died, and those
presently alive, which He bore and took upon Himself on that crucifixion?. Has
anyone ever shared the agony and pain when He was pierced by a Roman
soldier’s spear, and given bitter vinegar to wet His thirsting lips? When He
looked up into Heaven, and exclaimed, as it were, as He had prayed with great
agony earlier with His disciples: “Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from
me: nevertheless, not MY WILL, BUT THINE BE DONE,”(Luke 22:42). When He
willingly shed His precious Blood, THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB OF GOD, for the
redemption from the penalty of death for sin hanging over ALL mankind? Has
anybody thought of God the Father’s unscalable sorrow as He witnessed from
Heaven the unspeakable brutal tortures inflicted by good-for-nothing picky, petty,
power-crazed, puny mortals, clumps of clay, those “whitened sepulchres”, and
ultimately, the actual, literal death of the incarnated into human flesh other
member of the GODHEAD? In grief, God the Father could just have pulled out
the Holy Spirit of power holding the entire created universe together. It would
have been , like a blink on the screen, that the visible, physical, material universe
could have disappeared! Faster than the twinkling of an eye, all the physical,
material creation, visible and invisible, could just have evaporated.

The LORD was absolutely certain He had done that appointed job.

THIS IS THE GREATEST SUCCESS STORY FOR ALL TIME!

226

He succeeded by His total willingness to obey God the Father.


His total yieldedness to suffer for the sake of the human race
that the Most High God created by Him, thru the Holy Spirit. His
total submission to go through the unbearable pain that tore into
His deepest Being. He willingly yielded in the agony of that one
moment in time when ALL THE SINS OF ALL CREATED MANKIND
CAME UPON HIM! HE BECAME AS SIN TOTALLY PERSONIFIED!
THAT WAS THE EXACT MOMENT IN ALL THE HISTORY OF THE
UNIVERSE, YEA, OF ALL ETERNITY, WHEN GOD THE FATHER
TURNED AWAY FROM HIM. WHEN HIS FATHER TURNED HIS
BACK FROM HIM. THE DYING SINLESS, PERFECT JESUS KNEW.
FOR HE CRIED OUT: “MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAST THOU
FORSAKEN ME?”, (Ps 22:1; Mat 27:46; Mk 15:34). His total
surrender to the requirements of BRINGING SALVATION FOR
YOU AND ME, YEA, ALL OF US FROM THE FIRST MAN, TO THE
LAST ONE STANDING, EVEN TO THE LAST ONE WHO DIED,
BEFORE HIS RETURN. That He must shed His precious Blood as
the Lamb of God to PURCHASE REDEMPTION FROM THE
PENALTY OF DEATH HANGING OVER EACH OF THEM. To
ultimately literally die that they may all be JUSTIFIED.

AND SO HE DIED. He ‘yielded up the ghost’, (Mat 27:30). For three


days and three nights, He was in the grave, buried with
transgressors! For 3 sunsets and 3 sunrises, the other member
of the GODHEAD was literally dead!

AND THEN HE WAS RISEN! (Mat 27:28; Mk 16:6; Lk 24:34; Jn


2:22; I Cor 15:4, 20). YES, HE WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE
DEAD. To become the firstfruits of them that slept,” (I Cor 15.20).
‘First Born among many brethren’, (Rom 8:29)> “First Born from
the dead’, (Col.1:15). YES, HE LIVES, THAT WE, TOO, CAN HAVE,

ON

MAY HAVE, AND WILL HAVE THE ULTIMATE BLESSING TO BE


RESURRECTED FROM THE DEAD. For we all must die, once. And
after that, the JUDGMENT,’ (Heb 9:27).

“And without controversy, great is the mystery of Godliness:


GOD WAS MANIFEST IN THE FLESH, justified in the Spirit, seen of
angels, PREACHED UNTO THE GENTILES, believed in the world,
received up unto glory,” (I Tim 3:16).

“I have glorified thee on the earth; I HAVE FINISHED THE WORK


Which thou gavest me to do. And Now O Father, glorify thou me
with thine own self with the glory that I had with thee before the
world was,” (Jn 17:4-5).

THIS IS THE GREATEST SUCCESS STORY THAT ALL MANKIND


AND THOSE THAT WILL COME AFTER US WILL CELEBRATE IN
JOY FOR ALL ETERNITY!

Before He returned to heaven, He prayed in the true Lord's Prayer in the 17th
chapter of the Gospel Book of John in the New Testament Scriptures:

THIS IS THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS CHRIST: "I have glorified Thee on


the earth; I have finished the Work which thou gavest me to do, and now, O
Father, glorify me with the glory which I had with thee before the
world was,” (John 17:4)

WHAT DID GOD THE FATHER DO FOR THIS ACCOMPLISHMENT


OF HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON?

“Where God has also exalted Him, and given Him a NAME which is above every
name; that at the NAME of Jesus Christ every knee should bow, of things in
heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue
should confess Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father,"
(PHILIPPIANS 2:9).

SO WHAT, DEAR FRIEND, IS YOUR MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION?

IF YOU DO the Work of God, be it so little your part and participation, if you
do it with cheer, humility, appreciation, enthusiasm, and zeal being full of faith,
you can then hold God to redeem, to remembrance, and lay claim to, His
wonderful promises on your behalf! Christ did. And God the Father gave it to His
Son in whom He was well pleased. ASK AFTER, and He will give it to you.

WHEN YOU PASS THIS ON, YOU BECOME A PART OF CHRIST'S


TEAM!

Listen to God's RECOGNITION of you, your effort: ‘’How beautiful upon the
mountains are the feet of them that bringeth glad tidings, that publisheth peace;
that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that
saith unto Zion, thy God reigneth!" (Isaiah 52:7).

You become part and parcel, not a fence-sitter on the fringes of skepticism, an
integral constituent, a chosen fabric interwoven with, and of the foremost,
unparalleled company: "The LORD gave the word; great was the
company that published it." (Psalms 68:11).

THE GREATEST COMMISSION MUST NOW BE FULFILLED

The Lord Jesus Christ, the Divine Captain of Salvation (Hebrews 2:10), the
Author and Finisher of the Faith (Hebrews 12:2), The LORD of hosts (John 17:5),
The returning Messiah (John 1:41; 4:25; Daniel 9:25;9:26);the awaited Great God
and our Saviour (Titus 2:13) gave the 2,000 year-edict: "GO, Preach and
publish the GOSPEL of the KINGDOM OF GOD into ALL NATIONS,
GO INTO ALL THE WORLD, Teach EVERY CREATURE to
OBSERVE ALL THINGS I have commanded you, (Matthew 28:19; Mark
16:15; Luke 24:47). Be witnesses unto Him to the utmost part of the earth (Acts
1:8).

thanksgiving.
The Church of the Living GOD was raised and
kept in YOUR HOLY NAME.
Everytime we utter the phrase, it reminds us that
we belong to YOU. For this, we thank You ever so
much. For considering us at all.

Scriptures are now to us a flowing fountain of
living waters. that refreshes us everytime we come
to drink and be nourished.

CONTINUALLY THIRST FOR THE

WORD. AND THE EYE-OPENING POWER OF
