Before you read this study understand that we do not teach, we share and then ask all who read the following take it to God and verify it with Him. We believe a lot of the world is misled by the church of the world and religion vs the one true church. And to know the truth can only come from knowing, not just knowing of God, John 14:26, I John 2:27, Rev 3:19-22.
Many are called but few are chosen because many are misled by false teachers Matthew 7:13-15 so we help all who wants to know the truth how to find and know the truth of and by God and not of and by man.



Good Vs Evil - It is Real!

Pastor J. R. Wilhite, author   Close Window

This study is one that has literally been in works for over 6000 years and for me for 10 years. It is also one that I have some concerns about posting due to the problem of how some can take scripture out of context and use it to make a point. There are even religions (denominations) that have been formed based on out of context ideas.

If you will take the time this study requires, as well as reading all scripture related to this study I did not list due to space, you will agree this study explains a lot.

Please, if any of it that seems like it is redundant and that you think you know it, still take the time and read on and study it again. It would not be in here if it was not needed. It is just necessary to be sure everyone has the back ground information that I have written in previous studies to understand fully what this one is all about.

This study is actually very simple; it is about the differences of the flesh (physical), spirit (spiritual) and the soul.

Here is an outline of what you will study.

Before we start, remember and never forget Satan has been here longer than all of the people you know put together. Never underestimate Satan, this is where most will fail. Satan is the father of all lies; at the core of his being is deception. The nature of God is love; the nature of Satan is deception.

To be deceived is to have been told one thing and led to believe it while the entire time the person telling you knows it is a lie.

Genesis 3

1. Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

Below is the Hebrew and Greek definitions of the word Deceive.

Strong's Ref. # 5377

Romanized nasha'

Pronounced naw-shaw'

a primitive root; to lead astray, i.e. (mentally) to delude, or (morally) to seduce:

KJV--beguile, deceive, X greatly, X utterly.

Strong's Ref. # 1818

Romanized exapatao

Pronounced ex-ap-at-ah'-o

from GSN1537 and GSN0538; to seduce wholly:

KJV--beguile, deceive.

Why am I making such a big deal about a word? If you do not understand fully the idea of deception and just how wide spread it is, you will miss a lot if not all of this study. The basis of Satan's work, existence, and purpose is deception.

Know that there are two ways to read the word of God:

John 14

26. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Jesus did not say man will teach and then the Holy Spirit would explain, but that ONLY the HOLY SPIRIT will TEACH you ALL THINGS.

All things means everything, not just the word of God, but all things about which you need understanding.

John 15

26. But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

The key here is truth, the Spirit of truth.

The problem is Satan tainted the truth with just enough of the lie to make it no longer the truth. There is no white lie, or part truth, there is only truth and lie. This is where Satan has kept us in the dark by keeping us from the truth.

One of his lies: Satan says, "Yes Jesus does save, and you need to be saved, but not today, enjoy today and be saved tomorrow."

Ok, what part of the above is not true? Hopefully you said the idea of waiting is not true. What Satan will do is to get someone to believe this lie and then Satan will make sure the person dies before tomorrow.

John explained in more detail what Jesus said in:

1 John 2

27. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Christ is a Greek word, in English it means anoint(ed)(ing). To understand anoint, visualize a sponge that is dripping with water; it is anointed with water. We are to be dripping (anointed) with the Spirit of God.

Luke 4

18. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

Research for yourself the fact that God is a spirit, always has been, and always will be. So, when you are anointed with the spirit of God, you are anointed with God Himself. If you know that when you are saved you have God (Spirit) in you, you are right. BUT you do not have God, on you and through you as when you are anointed.

If you do not understand the difference between salvation (born again), church, and body of Christ, or that you are not all 3 when you are saved, then refer to the bottom of this study entitled "Life Starts Here".

Understand that the differences between denominations are due to interpreting the word of God Vs understanding the word of God. Imagine 2 people read a book by Stephen King and both get different ideas of the ending and meaning of the book. Then one day they meet Stephen King and ask him. They then realize they were both wrong and the meaning was so easy. All they had to do was ask the author of the book. The Bible is the same way; it requires knowledge, but it requires a one on one relationship with God (actually hearing His voice) so you can ask Him.

You can not understand anything spiritual or of the spirit unless you are of the Spirit. Yes, you have a spirit, but you also have a mind, do you always use your mind the way you should? Spirit is the least used and most under fed part of our being.

Hosea 4

6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Revelation 1

6. And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

So what you should know by now is:

Romans 10

17. So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

So then faith comes by hearing, and understanding (hearing) by Jesus (the word of God).

John 1

14. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

The idea is this, Satan knew to keep us from hearing from God he had to separate us from God. First Satan got us to do it to ourselves (separate ourselves spiritually) with Adam and Eve and sin of eating the fruit of the forbidden tree. Next he arranged for us to be separate in the physical, and how he did this will be discussed later. Then he contaminated the truth with the lie to keep us from the truth. Knowledge of the truth is freedom. (John 8:32)

1 Corinthians 1

11. For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

12. Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

13. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

You need to understand that the problems of today are not unique to today, but actually were in the first century church as well. Now look at I Corinthians 1:11-13 but updated to what would be written today.

1 Corinthians 1

11. For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

12. Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Baptist; and I of Mormon; and I of Catholic; and I of Christ.

13. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

Place whatever denomination, non-denomination or religion in place of Paul; Apollos; and/or Cephas; and you should see that the problem is in interpreting.

Man has the idea that a man of God (Pastor, evangelist, etc.) is one trained and taught by man's schools. In actuality we are to be taught only by God.

John 14

26. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

1 John 2

27. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

When you do finally hear from God the following happens:

To hear from God, to actually hear His voice, you must do the following:

If you do the above 3 things and are dedicated to hearing God's actual voice in your life no matter how long it takes you will hear in time. Some take weeks, others months. It is not how long it takes; all that is important is that you do it. It is more than worth while.

If you listen, hear and are obedient to God you will be blessed; you will be free of doubt and you will have peace.

If you do not hear God, if you continue to listen to man, follow man and are obedient to man's ways, you will never know true peace; you will always have doubts and maybe not even make it to life eternal with God.

The choice is yours and yours only.

Many will continue to listen to and follow man because it is easier.

The idea is most justify why they do what they do, believe what they believe, and follow whom they follow. I have met people who have (based on just a few verses) developed a following and they will argue their point because they have to be right. The idea of anyone not agreeing with them increases their doubt, so they must get anyone who does not believe as they do to change to their way of thinking. The sad thing is the main difference between all denominations is just a few verses. All agree that Jesus saves, but from there they only differ on a verse or two. It could just be slightly different rendering of the same passage of the Bible, but due to that they are divided.

Matthew 12

25. And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

Jesus stated it, a kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. Satan knows this because he read the Bible, too. Remember I said never underestimate Satan. He used this from the beginning to bring us down. How did Satan divide us?

2 Corinthians 10

1. Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:

2. But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.

3. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

4. (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

5. Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

All of the thoughts you have, have had, or will have in the future have already been thought before by someone else and will be thought again by someone else. Your thoughts are not your own; they are either of God or of Satan. The difference is Satan forces his thoughts on you and God offers His thoughts. Since God offers His Vs Satan forcing his, God's are always harder to obtain.

What is even sadder is that most if not all do not realize that the thoughts are not their own, and never realize that their thoughts are those of Satan. A thought only becomes yours when you accept it, allow it deep into your soul and spirit. It then grows and proceeds from your mouth and in time becomes an action.

Romans 10

9. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

This is also why we are told in Romans 10:9-10 that salvation is made by our mouth, but it starts in the heart (spirit) of man.

So by now you should understand just how Satan deceives you.

Another of his lies is that he does not exist. He knows that if you know and believe there is Satan, then you will know and also believe in God.

1 Corinthians 1

24. But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

You see the only power Satan has is that which we give him.

Example:

Satan will place a thought in person 1 that they will act on that will push the button on person2, or he will place a thought that will lead person 2 to misunderstand even the simplest of words spoken by person 1.

So person 2 will be offended by person 1. Of course, most of all, this will bring doubt about God, faith, etc.

Satan is even getting some who read this to be offended so they miss the blessing. What is sad they do not realize it is Satan causing it. They have ears but do not hear and eyes but do not see.

By now you should be getting the idea of how Satan manipulates our thoughts to keep us from the truth. For those who get close to the point that he can not manipulate them directly, he will use others to offend, bring strife, or try and push their buttons. Satan will do what ever it takes it, and he does all day every day and all night long, too.

Satan owns the flesh, the spirit is of God, and the soul is ours.

God planted his spirit in us at conception. At the end we are either of God and retain that of God (His Spirit) and we live eternally with Him, or God separates our soul and spirit and our soul and body are cast out into eternal torment.

Matthew 10

28. And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Mark 8

36. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

God created the angels and man. Man fell from grace. Knowledge of evil filled man, and it was not long until this evil grew. By Genesis 6 the evil was so strong God repented of His creation. But He found one, Noah, and through Noah a new beginning and salvation of mankind was at hand.

Noah's sons were not found to be perfect as Noah was, and one even was extremely perverted. That seed of perversion still survived the flood through Noah's wife and the children they had together. The son's were not perfect in their generations on the mother's side. This manifested very soon after the floodwaters receded and they were back on the earth.

Genesis 1:1-5 in a nutshell:

First of all you need to understand God created the heaven and the earth at the same time, and that angels were not a sub class of humans, but are totally different. Even though angels can appear as humans, they are different. The earth was only created for mankind. It was never created for angels, animals, or plants. It and everything in it was created for mankind.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

In Hebrews 2 we read:

5 For unto the angels hath He not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.

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 crowned him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:

8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

10 For it became Him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

11 For both He that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brethren,

12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto Thee.

13 And again, I will put my trust in Him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.

Christ shared man's mortal nature that, by His dying, men might be freed from death

14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

16 For verily He took not on Him the nature of angels; but He took on Him the seed of Abraham.

17 Wherefore in all things it behooved Him to be made like unto His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

18 For in that He Himself hath suffered being tempted, He is able to succour them that are tempted.

Heb 2:5-18 (KJV)

Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Now there are three ways to look at the above verse.

After listening to God as well as from studies with many scholars of Greek and Hebrew I believe that Genesis 1:1 - 1:5 is an outline of the Bible. It was God setting the plan and getting everything in place for our salvation.

Why, not destruction from Satan being cast down? One reason, destruction comes as an aftermath of sin, not before. Sin had not yet entered the earth yet. If the earth was created for mankind, then only mankind could allow sin to enter.

Think about this, even Jesus had to enter as a man to make a difference. If this were the case for Jesus, why would it be any different for Satan? Also if destruction comes from sin, and sin did not enter until day 7 then on day 1 or before there could not have been sin. If Satan could bring any change or sin, or destruction to the earth, why did he need to get Adam to sin? If this was the case, then sin was already running rampant through the earth by the time Adam arrived.

Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. (KJV)

The word "beheld" is more of a perception of what is to come, seeing the future and talking about it as is with prophesy.

To help you even more, some say that Satan was cast down in the beginning, but we are told when he is cast down he knows his time is short. Now consider that in the beginning Satan would not have known time was short. That is a reference that did not come about until the New Testament, so if he knew his time was short it had to be New Testament times. God would not share with Satan His plans so, until the New Testament was written, Satan had no idea he had a short time. So if he was not cast down at the beginning then it must be during the last 3.5 years of tribulation. That would give him an idea time is short.

Paul said there were three heavens, the one he went to was the third. The one we see is the first; so the second must be where Satan is accusing us day and night. Also remember Satan is not omnipresent like God; he can only be in one place at one time. If he is accusing us day and night, how could he be here?

Creation of the light

Genesis1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

We know that the light mentioned in Vs 3 is not the light of God, for He is light. It is not artificial light and it is not the light of the sun, moon and stars, since they were not created until day 4:

Gen 1:14 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:

15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. (KJV)

The light is our salvation; it is Jesus being anointed as the light.

John 1:

4 In Him was life; and the life was the light of men.

5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. (KJV)

Genesis1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

This where God is setting up His word to separate evil from good, saved from not saved.

Genesis 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.(KJV)

Here is Judgment day, the separating of the sheep from the goats.

Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. (KJV)

In verse 28 man had dominion over all the earth and all that is in it, so only by man could sin and its ramifications enter the earth.

In Hebrew there is no punctuation; it reads as one long sentence, but to make it readable for us, words were added and so was punctuation. In all but the King James Version I have found words (many important words) dropped. In the King James I found words added to make a point to help the reader understand a language that is very graphic. Some people get hung up on the space between the lines of verses one and two in Genesis because later it says God told mankind to "replenish" the earth.

Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth,

They take the word "replenish" word literally in the sense that we know it in the 20th century, as if the earth had become empty and needed to be RE-filled. This is not the case if you look into the Hebrew definition of the word translated as "replenish":

4390. male', maw-lay'; or mala' (Esth. 7 : 5), maw-law'; a prim. root, to fill or (intrans.) be full of, in a wide application (lit. and fig.):--accomplish, confirm, + consecrate, be at an end, be expired, be fenced, fill, fulfill, (be, become, X draw, give in, go) fully (-ly, -ly set, tale), [over-] flow, fullness, furnish, gather (selves, together), presume, replenish, satisfy, set, space, take a [hand-] full, + have wholly.

Replenish is not a very large part of what this word "male'" means. I get the sense that the earth needed mankind to make it complete. If you look it up in an English dictionary you will find a second definition that means to inspire or nourish. That gives a completely different idea of what God was telling them to do to the earth, don't you think?

Revelation 12:

10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. (KJV)

Plus, if Satan was cast down early on, why the celebration of the casting down of the one who accused the brethren? If he was cast down in Genesis 1:2 he could no longer be in heaven to accuse the brethren. So it must be later that he is cast down. It is stated that his time is short. How about the last 3.5 years of tribulation? We know he is there and rules, and that is a short time. Later I will get into this more.

Job1:

6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? (KJV)

Job 1:8 is a perfect example of the problems that occur if one is reading the King James without the understanding of the Holy Spirit. It appears (in modern interpretation) that God is pointing out Job to Satan. In 1612 AD, when the KJV was written, the verse meant something more like "have you something in your heart against my servant Job?" not pointing out, but requesting what Satan was doing. If you re-read the verse you can see how over 387 years ago it was perceived the same way.

Now to get on to the main point of Genesis, sin. Adam was told in Genesis 2:17 not to eat of the fruit, nothing about not touching, or that anyone else could not eat it, just him. He was the only human alive anyway; Eve was not yet made. Remember Eve was created from Adam, Adam was the original.

Genesis 2:

15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

16 And the LORD God comanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.(KJV)

Notice in verse 3 Eve added, either on her own or by what Adam told her, that she could not even touch it. BUT, that is NOT what God SAID! This is why it is deadly to add to what God states, and why I always insist on people verifying everything with God.

Gen 3:

1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: (KJV)

So she touches and as Satan stated she did not die. Then she ate and nothing happened. But it was not Eve who was forbidden to eat of that fruit; it was Adam. So, he sees her eat and must have thought it was safe.

What happened here? First, someone added to God's word and it hurt them both. Then Adam forgot or was just disobedient, because he should have known that God never stated any other could not eat. We still do that; we add to the word of God or take it out of context to use it for our own benefit. We have not changed.

I believe God was doing with Adam, as we do with children and matches. We tell children not to play with matches. We do not get rid of all matches worldwide because they have a purpose. We wait until they are old enough and teach them how to use them. Until then, we tell them not to play with matches, but some do, and some get hurt. Adam was the same as a little child in this respect. He ate of what he was not yet ready to eat and it hurt him (and us). How? It unleashed knowledge of evil into us way before he or we could handle it, before we were mature enough. Throughout the word we are referred to as His (God's) children, not adults. Even Jesus called Him Abba (Daddy). Most adults do not call their father "Daddy" in this fashion.

Gen 4:

9 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?

10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.

11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;

12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.

13 And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.

14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me. (KJV)

Here we see sin growing. First, Cain was not right in his heart, or his offering would have been accepted. Then he gets angry and kills 25% of the earth's entire population! But notice the point he (Cain) makes about not being in God's presence any longer. Where later (thousands of years) Moses can not look upon the face of God or he would die.

As we continue watch how this changes.

As we are born physically into this world and then in this world we are born again spiritually (John 3) so were the attacks on us from Satan. But in reverse, Satan first cut us off by sin from God spiritually and then physically.

Genesis 6

1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

Who are the sons of God? We are not called that yet, not until after Jesus.

Job 1

6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? (KJV)

The sons of God reference is to angels, and the angels in Job are the two thirds which are still of God, the ones in Genesis are those which follow Satan.

What would happen if you crossed a dog with a wolf? It would not be pure dog or pure wolf any more, actually a perversion of what God created.

Genesis 6

3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

Here is the only time God refers to striving with man or a length of time in this fashion. We know the year of jubilee, or God's year, is every fifty years.

Leviticus 25

8 And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.

9 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.

10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family. (KJV)

So 120 of God's years equals 50 times 120 or 6,000 years. This is the lease on the earth He was giving man.

Genesis 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

"Giants and men of renown" does not necessarily refer to physical stature here. It should be translated as men of great wisdom and ingenuity (technologically advanced).

If you look at the facts that the world before the flood had no oceans, only rivers, and lakes, then everywhere you see oceans that was once land. Since the men of great wisdom or technologically advanced could be referring to a group of people as advanced or more than we are today. Some of the myths about Atlantis may have been based on fact after all.

Genesis 6:

5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

As with Babel, the more men build big cities and develop technology and become dependent on each other, the less they are dependent on God, and the more doubt that He "is" enters. Remember this is all His.

Genesis 6:

6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart.

7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

Noah finds grace

Genesis 6:

8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

Perfect in his generation, we know that is not spiritually, because due to sin the spirit connection was gone. So it was physical. Now look at the age of Noah; he was born right at the beginning of the time when angels and women mated, so to be perfect, none of his ancestors were products of these perverted unions.

10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted His way upon the earth. (KJV)

As we become more intelligent in the ways of the world and technology, (not intelligent in God and His ways), the more evil, violence, and perversion grow.

Here is some more proof that God considers us above the angels and why it has to be us to let sin enter the earth, not angels.

Hebrews 1:

11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;

12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

13 But to which of the angels said He at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?

14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? (KJV)

Let me synopsize what we have learned so far:

Noah's sons were not found to be perfect as Noah was, and one even was extremely perverted. That seed of perversion still survived the flood through Noah's wife and the children they had together. The son's were not perfect in their generations on the mother's side.

This manifested very soon after the floodwaters receded and they were back on the earth.

Genesis 9

22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.

Some say there may have been a homosexual act here, but just the fact that Ham dishonored his father by gossiping and announcing what he saw was certainly bad enough in the eyes of God. God never changes, and He had not yet written the Ten Comandments, but a sin is still a sin.

Genesis 9

23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.

24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.

25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. (KJV)

So we have two sons who are not perfect, but not perverted as Ham. Notice the curse was on the offspring of Ham, Canaan. All of this evil started to grow again in man. For man had no knowledge of how to handle it, as we still don't today.

Next man had to sacrifice to cover the sin in their lives. Imagine it like taking a shot for malaria. It is like a disease that is running throughout mankind. A solution needs to be found to cure this disease. When Adam ate the fruit he inherited the germ. We still have to deal with it, but we can get a blood transfusion from Jesus and be cured of the bacteria. This does not mean it will not try to raise its ugly head and overcome us again. Like with any transfusion of blood, if you allow anything contaminated in, it starts losing its effect in curing you. With the infection reduced in the body, but not totally removed, it could at any time come back full force if you were not careful. Let's say you go back to a tropical climate again; that could trigger malaria again. It's not the fault of the antibiotics, but your fault. The law showed how sin was in our lives and how it would affect us, and how something had to be done to cure this disease known as sin.

So God had to first find one who would have the faith to work with Him so He could get His word into the earth.

Luke 1:38

And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. (KJV)

For Mary to be able to have faith enough to agree with the angel, she had to have had the word shared with her. It took God thousands of years of looking for a man/woman of God here and there to use to get His word into the earth. Most of the Old Testament is setting things up for the New Testament. It is setting up the coming of Jesus and the return of mankind to God. In order to do this, first sin had to be pointed out in mankind. So the law was given to spell out sin, the problems resulting from sin, the punishment for sin, and why Jesus was needed. Then for thousands of years God used whom ever He could, whenever He could to sow His word into the earth.

John 1:14

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. (KJV)

It seems it has taken so very long, but remember what Peter said,

2 Peter 3:8

But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. (KJV)

So it was only a few days from Adam sinning until Abraham, a few more until Jesus, and then a couple more until now.

Let's go back to Genesis.

After mankind started populating the earth again God had to find another, and He did with Abram (Abraham).

Notice Abraham was 75 years old before God used him. Did it take 75 years to get through to Abraham or just that long to get him prepared? Remember Moses was 80 when he went to Egypt to bring the children of Israel out of Egypt.

It was during Abraham's time that Sodom was destroyed, and Abraham negotiated with the Lord whether or not He would destroy the city if He found even 10 righteous men in it. After Abraham, God searched the hearts of man to find those He could use. It would be a trying two thousand years.

During the 2,000 years until Jesus, many men and women of God came but so did many who used the word of God for their own ends. When Jesus got here Israel had been conquered and re-conquered looking for a king to lead them in victory, not a lamb for the slaughter.

Some followed; some did not, but compare the days of Jesus to today. They went to church once a week, and gave tithes and offerings. They even helped with the church, and they went to have studies of the scriptures and hear from the man of God.

Don't we have the same today? You ask why should we attend church then?

Remember what church is. It is those who have the revealed knowledge from God about who Jesus is.

matt 16:

15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (KJV)

That means if God reveals His Son to you, who His Son is, then you are a part of the church.

matt 27:

50 Jesus, when He had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

The veil was what kept God in the box and separate from us, now He was free to enter us.

52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

53 And came out of the graves after His resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. (KJV)

Notice `many' not `all' came out with Jesus from the grave. What did you think Jesus did in the grave for 3 days? It only took a few minutes to defeat Satan; the rest was sharing God's word with those there so they could leave prison for salvation. But not all followed, and those who did had to go into Jerusalem to confess Jesus as Lord and Savior.

Romans 10

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Genesis 6

1. And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

2. That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

3. And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

4. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

5. And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Notice a few things above:

Remember above that Cain thought his punishment of no longer being able to see the face of God was too great, but Moses on the other hand as a man of God could not see anything but the backside of God. Moses would die if he looked on the face of God. What changed that a man who sinned and killed his brother but CAN still look at God, to a man of God who CANNOT look at God without dieing?

The physical flesh itself changed. The sin entered the flesh. Remember Adam was told he would die if he ate of the tree. Well he ate and physically he lived, but spiritually he died. So the first sin (sin of Adam) was spiritual, then Satan had to separate us physically from God as well. Getting his fallen angels to have children with the daughters of man, caused the flesh to be at the very least tainted and of course the seed of sin was now in the flesh.

So the flesh became of Satan (Evil) while the Spirit remains of God, and what is between these two is the soul.

Soul - our mind, will and emotions - is also what makes us, us. We choose (free will) due to the soul, we think, also of the soul. Our words, actions, etc are all due to what the soul allows. Who we really are is the soul. If we side with the flesh and in the flesh we are of Satan and will spend eternity in torment. If we side with the Spirit we are of God and will spend eternity with God.

Galatians 5

24. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

25. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Take time and research all the verses in the New Testament referring to the Spirit and see just how much backs up all I have stated.

As I have stated before:

Remember what I said about where all thoughts come from, so these I am talking about do not even realize they are opposing God and acting for Satan in their actions and deeds.

Luke 23

34. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

I advise all who read this to forgive all who have done anything against you, and forgive yourself. Do not judge any, you have no idea what is in the heart of another. Even the words of their mouth may not reveal them totally yet, so beware of judging. Remember

Matthew 7

1. Judge not, that ye be not judged.

In John 3:17 we are told Jesus did not even come to judge but to save.

Satan = Flesh (Body)

God = Spirit

Man = Soul

Life Starts Here

Yes, that is right, Life Starts Here. It does not matter if you have been a Christian 1-day or 50 years. It does not matter how much you know, we all need to learn more.

What you are about to read will open many areas of the mystery of God and His kingdom to you. I am not any more special than anyone else, but I did have some things happen to me that do not happen to everyone. Plus I made choices that most never do. First thing was I died in 1985 for somewhere from 28 seconds to 4 minutes? I have seen the next life and can tell you it is real and it does exist. Also, about 6 years later in 1993 my wife and I decided I would stay home, she would work, and I would grow for both of us in the Lord. I would spend many hours learning to be able to teach her in less time. After 2 years 7 days a week and almost 24 hours a day I learned so much with God. One on one that, I can say this, God is always talking, and it is like a radio; if you tune into one frequency you may hear about life and its mysteries. Another will be more of a general open discussion or teaching from God to all that will listen. Then another will be one on one, for a person's personal growth. This last one is needed and a must to learn all one can on the other stations. The idea is there are many walls the world has helped place in us and we need to remove these walls to grow,

Now if you will open your mind and ask God for help in this study you will grow in ways you never imagined. It does not matter if you have been born again 1 day or 100 years, everyone can grow.

Hosea 4
6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

If you think the above verse deals only with priests read this next verse.

Revelation 1
6. And hath made US kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

3 Steps to Life

As you understand that there are 3 elements to God - Father, Son, Spirit or Soul, Body, Spirit also understands that we have 3 elements as well, body, soul, and spirit. The number 3 in the Bible means unity.

We go through 3 lives:

In the womb our universe is small - about the size of a basketball. In this life it seems that the universe is huge - it is so much larger than the last, but infinitely smaller than the next.

Our life spans:

Size of Our Universe

Life -

Outcome

1st Womb about the size of a basketball

9 months

Male or female

2nd Present universe seems unlimited

120 yrs

Born again or not

3rd Next life with or without God

Eternal

Heaven or Hell

Step 1 - Salvation

In this life there are 3 steps as well, that is if we are born again.

But what is born again?

John 3

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.

4. Nicodemus saith 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?

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.

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 said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

8. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?

10. Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?

11. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

12. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

13. And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

14. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

15. That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

16. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

So once you are born again you are saved, but you are not of the church or the body of Christ yet.

Before you get your tail feathers ruffled over what I just said, take a moment open your mind and read what I have to show from scripture. Then take it to God and ask Him, if ever you hear anything that God says is not true do not walk away, but run away from the source of the lie. Do not try to change them by debate, email, etc, but take it to the Lord in prayer and ask Him to handle it. He is much more capable to do this than we, plus He will not make mistakes, but we can and in making a mistake we may push a person even further the wrong way.

So before you do anything you MUST be hearing from God. Yes, that is right, YOU MUST be hearing from God. In the Old Testament there were men and women of God that the majority would go to, to learn the truth. Now we are ALL to be men and women of God.

John 2

21. But he spake of the temple of his body.

I Corinthians 3

16. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

So understand that when you are saved you have the Spirit of God in you (you are a temple of God) but you do not have the Spirit on, and through you yet.

The name Jesus in Hebrew means salvation, and through the name of Jesus you are saved.

Romans 10

9. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

This is necessary for all to grow and become solid in their salvation to the point nothing can ever take it from you or confuse you or make you doubt it.

Romans 8

16. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

You can only hear this when you are hearing the voice of God. That comes from your taking the time to listen and hear His voice.

Now imagine if you wanted to learn to read and write but you did not want to invest any time in it. It just would not happen. How much more is the blessing that comes from knowing God on a one on one basis. From this one on one relationship with God you will be blessed with all the fruit of God.

Galatians 5

22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

23. Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

24. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

25. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Jesus even said we would be known by the our fruit>

Matthew 7

20. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

21. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

So many take "faith without works is dead" as meaning they have to go out and work but the actual truth is that when faith works IT goes out and works. When we do it, it is not faith, but us that is at work.

Hebrews 11

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.

Both offerings in appearance would have been good, but only one was of faith, something that only God could see.

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.

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.

How does faith come?

Romans 10

17. So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Now as you grow from the moment of your salvation to the revealed knowledge of Who Jesus is as the Christ and true Son of God your growth is into being a part of the church.

A church is not buildings, or people, but individuals with personal relationships with God. A relationship that He reveals unto all and first who we are and who Jesus is.

Romans 8

16. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

Step 2 - Church

Matthew 16

15. He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

16. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

17. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

In verse 16 the name Peter in Greek is Petros. Petros means Peter, but mostly they both mean a "piece of the rock". The word rock is Petras or bedrock. In verse 15 Jesus tells Peter it was REVEALED knowledge of the Father about Who Jesus is as the Christ and Son of God that made him petros.

So when God reveals to you Who Jesus is as the Christ and The Son of God you are then a piece of the rock or church.

Now you have gone two steps in your growth here, 1st salvation through Jesus, 2nd becoming a part of the church via revealed knowledge. Remember Hosea 4:6 God said His children are destroyed due to a lack of knowledge. Are you starting to understand the importance of knowledge?

Step 3 - Body Of Christ

"Christ" is a Greek word that means "The Anointed One and His Anointing". Anointed means being rubbed in and on. Jesus told us that being anointed was having the Spirit of the Lord upon Him:

Another way to look at it is think of a dry sponge placed in a bowl of water. We would be the dry sponge and the anointing is the water.

Luke 4:18 "The Spirit of the LORD {is} upon Me, Because He has

anointed Me To preach the good news (gospel) to {the} poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to {the} captives "

And in I Cor. 1:24 "but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, The Anointed One and His Anointing (Christ) the power of God and the wisdom of God." we are told that Christ, or the Anointed One and his Anointing is the power and wisdom of God.

In Is. 10:27 (KJV) we are told that the anointing removes burdens and

destroys yokes. A yoke is anything that weighs you down, like sin,

sickness, debt, etc...

All through the old testament times the Jews were told of a coming of the Anointed, and how, when the Anointing came, it would bring yoke destroying, burden removing power. Remember what

I Cor. 1:24 says, "Christ (The Anointed) the power and wisdom of

God." Who else could destroy yokes? God, of course! So the Jews were

looking for the Messiah which is Hebrew for the "Anointed One". The Jews

admit Jesus was a prophet and a teacher and that He did great works; they just don't admit He was the Christ (the Anointed One).

So what do we know so far;

Christ (Greek) and Messiah (Hebrew) in English mean The Anointed One.

To anoint is to rub on and in, so Anointed is already rubbed in and

on. The Spirit of God comes to us from and through His Spirit

(Anointing). What it brings are the power and wisdom of God. So

Jesus did what He did via the Holy Spirit because He was anointed

(rubbed in and on) with God's Spirit (power and wisdom of God).

Some call the anointing being "in-filled" with the Spirit of God, but the anointing comes after one is saved, of the church and asks for it, but they have to be hearing from God on a one on one basis to be anointed.

I John 2:20-27

20. But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.

21. I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

22. Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

23. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: [but] he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

24. Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.

25. And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.

26. These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.

27. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

John 14

26. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Jesus is the word become flesh John 1:14, God is the soul (mind, will and emotions) of the trinity. Christ was the manifestation of God on Jesus. If we are of Christ we are of the manifestation of God on, in, and through us.

Understand your growth in the kingdom of God is based on the time you put in. The more time now, the sooner you will be blessed in all ways.

Below I have scripture to show you just how blessed you can be.

Mark 11

22. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

23. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

24. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

25. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

26. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

Mark 5

24. And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.

25. And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,

26. And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,

27. When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.

28. For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.

29. And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

30. And Jesus, imediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

31. And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

32. And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.

33. But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

34. And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

As stated in I Cor. 1:24 the power of God is in Christ, and it states in the same verses that those of Christ is of the power and wisdom of God. Not the church, not those of Jesus (salvation) but of Christ only.

And as above Mark 5:24-34 Jesus felt power leave, and the power is that of Christ. And the same power is in, on and through those of Christ. Even though someone calls upon Jesus and is saved and does have the Spirit of God in them and connected in them to their spirit they do not have the Spirit in, on and through as in Christ.

There are many verses dealing with the power in Christ, and as Jesus name means salvation, and professing as it is stated in Romans 10:9--10. As shown in Matthew 18:15-19 we become part of the church when God the Father reveals to us who Jesus is as the Christ and the true Son of God.

1 Corinthians 1

24. But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
