This is currently a an incomplete Study. It has a collection of links found elsewhere on this site but not, necessarily, a development of the doctrines found in those notes. Lord willing, I will update the doctrine before I die.
A basic Biblical truth is that 'God does not change'. Jesus
was arguing with the religious leaders when He said: It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
(John 8:17). Since their law was written by God, we can know that this also applies to God's law. If the word of God
literally says something twice, we can know that it is part of God's law. God's law tells us: 'God does not change' in: Malachi 3:6 and Hebrews 13:8. For God to write in His word a doctrine, and later write an opposing doctrine, God would have to change. For God to assign a specific meaning to a word, and then, later, give that word a different meaning of give a different word the same meaning, God would have to change. Devil motivated false teachers and false prophets, and people who accept a doctrine without verifying their doctrine, all deny this truth. They make claims which can only be true if God changed.
In addition to that truth, people follow Satan's way of perverting the word of God
by adding to what God wrote in it or by refusing to accept what God wrote in it. In the beginning, middle and end of God's word, He wrote a curse for anyone who did either of those things. Yet, most religious doctrines are a result of people doing one of those two things.
For example, a popular doctrinal error claims that salvation requires 'a religious prayer asking Jesus
to be your Saviour'. Yet the Bible does not say that and every place that the word of God
says the shall be saved
, it requires our accepting the Son of God
as our personal the Lord
. However, people do not want to obey. Therefore, religion offers the lie of true Biblical salvation without obedience.
The basis upon which they make this claim is: 'denying that God does not change and claiming that two different names / roles of the Son of God
have the same meaning and doctrine associated with them'.
In addition, the word of God
says: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth
(2Timothy 2:15). Dividing
is part of the law of God which He enacted during creation. No law of math nor of true law of science ever changes for any reason or circumstance The true definition of dividing
is: 'separating things according to precise rules in order to receive precise results'. People wrongly claim that they are dividing
when they get imprecise results. For example, the 'flat Earth' people insisted that their belief was more reliable than the laws of true science which followed the laws that God enacted with creation. In addition, the religious leaders, who had Jesus
crucified, insisted that their religious traditions were more reliable than the Word of God
in human flesh. Today, people still follow those two sources of error.
Every dictionary written by man teaches doctrinal error. The most reliable dictionary, for defining words used by the word of God
, is Webster's 1828. But, even it contains some doctrinal error. In addition to doctrinal error, dictionaries present many applications, which they call definitions. If they present the single true definition of a word, it is so buried by the many applications that most people ignore the true definition. They pick their favorite application and declare it to be the single definition and even insist that their application is more reliable than the true single definition of a word found in the word of God
.
The only way to find the true single definition, of a word used by the word of God
, is to study every place that it is used in the word of God
and then separate what never changes from what changes. What never changes is the single definition while what changes are the many applications. However, that type od study is too much effort for most people. And, that is exactly the type of study used to provide the following doctrine.
Jesus
was again arguing with the religious leaders when He said: Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me
(John 5:39). Religious liars claim that their beliefs and commandments are more authoritative than God. The main way that we tell the difference between a religious lie, and a Bible truth, is to know the character of our God. If a religious claim goes against the revealed character of God, we can know it is a lie even if we can not name the Bible reference which disputes the religious lie.
Therefore, one of the most important things to know is what the word of God
says about the character of God.

The word Trinity
is not found in the word of God
, but the concept is there such as when Jesus
was baptized and God the Father
spoke from Heaven and God the Son
was in the water and God the Spirit like a dove descended upon him:
(Matthew 3:16; Mark 1:10; Luke 3:21-22; John 1:32).
The concept of the Trinity is not as difficult to understand as religion claims. Religion requires people to put blinders on their minds and refuse to think about proven facts. When Jesus
dealt with Nicodemus, in John 3, He asked Nicodemus how he could be a master
of spiritual matters and not understand that spiritual lawxs were abstract. Jesus
used the wind as a physical example of abstract matters and how the abstract laws, which God enacted at creation, control this physical reality even though we can only sense their indirect control. And, part of that indirect control is spiritual, which is outside of the four
dimensions (height, width, depth and time) of our physical reality, and yet control this physical reality. This is evident by the existence of miracles, which still happen today and which are impossible according to the laws of this physical reality. (As I have reported more than once, multiple times multiple non-believing medical people have reported that I personally had 'undeniable multiple miracles' when God did the physically and medically impossible for me.)
Math has proven that there are more dimensions than the four of our physical reality. (Yes I have a degree in Math from the University of Michigan, which is an internationally recognized university in the field of Mathematics.) And, although devil motivated and deceived people try to deny it, our physical reality is a sub-set of the spiritual as evidenced by the spiritual reality controlling the physical reality.
Now, a cube has three dimensions. Imagine, for illustration purposes, that we live on only one dimension. And, also imagine that people insisted that it was impossible that there were more dimensions than the one of their existence in spite of proof that there were more dimensions. Multiply the number of dimensions in our illustration by four and we match reality. People insist that there can not be anything more than our physical reality even though there is plenty of evidence that our physical reality was created and, obviously, the Creator had to exist, already, outside of the physical reality, in order to create it. And, God, obviously, exists in dimensions beyond our physical reality. However, in order to reveal Himself to man in an understandable manner, God presented Himself in a manner that men can understand. Go back to our illustration and it is like God revealed each of the three dimensions of the cube at different times because men living on one dimension can only understand one dimension at a time. And, think that there are actually three dimensions to a cube, though only one dimension is revealed at a time. Likewise, God, Who lives in more dimensions than man, can have three personalities though, most times, only one personality is revealed at a time. People have trouble with the concept of the Trinity because they shut down their minds and refuse to consider that there must be more than this physical reality or it could not have been created and miracles would be impossible even though there are 'undeniable multiple miracles' witnessed by unbelievers.
Fatherunless you have received the character of
God the Father.
John 8:42-45 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. The word
receivedis 'past-tense'. They are saved. The phrase
to becomeis 'future-tense'. This must happen after initial salvation and is not part of initial salvation, as many claim. Anyone who has raised a child knows that teaching the child to become a productive person happens after birth and is not part o0f conception. The same is true about spiritual birth and spiritual growth. God gives us this
powerbut we must willingly choose to use it or we will not grow spiritually and receive God's character.
son of Godreceived the character of
God the Father. That is the true purpose of God saving people. Doing this honors
God the Fatherand causes
God the Fatherto bless the true
son of God. Refusing to do so insults God and His salvation. Satan, who is 'the father of all lies' (John 8:44) gets false preachers and teachers to claim thaty someone can be a true
son of God, and receive all of the blessings which God only gives to true
sons of God, while they refuse to accept God's character and live for the lusts of the flesh and the doctrines of devils and the rewards of this world.
son of Godcan expect to receive an inheritance from God in Heaven and in this physical reality. A saved person, who refuses to become a true
son, has no such promises. See Galatians 4, especially the phrases
To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sonsand
if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. the phrase
through Christmeans that we have to let
Christchange us and make us true
sons of God.
Saviour.
salvationis: 'God's life in you'.
Saviourto provide that true Biblical
salvation. Religion does not have spiritual life and can not create true Biblical
salvation.
But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. God does not
sanctifylost people. This sentence is telling us that our having 'God's life in us' is increased
through sanctification of the Spirit, just like your physical life is increased by food and growth. God uses physical life to teach us about spiritual life. We do not live all of our physical life during the few seconds of conception. Likewise, we do not receive all of our spiritual life and growth the instant that we make a profession. What we have for spiritual life, for all of eternity, depends on our spiritual growth in this world. And, all of that happens after we get truly Biblically saved.
word of Godtruly teaches that religion can not produce spiritual life. John 5:39 says:
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. This was part of His answer to religious leaders who insisted that their religious traditions provided true Biblical
salvationand a proper relationship with God. This answer makes it clear that true Biblical
salvationand a proper relationship with God is only possible through a proper relationship with all of the roles of the
Son of God.
