Your Hope! Eternal or temporal?

The Only True Hope IS in and of that which IS SPIRIT and TRUTH! (John 4:24)

For hope that is but a temporal imitation is in and of one's earthly, natural fleshly desires, and/or circumstances. 

Thankfully A True, Living, Lively Hope IS of The SPIRIT and IS REALity! (I Peter 1:3, Colossians 1:5)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2010/10/hope-of-heaven-for-hope-which-is-laid.html

Not a thought, or a dream; or a shadow; or of one's own vain "imag"inations. (Romans 1:21, II Corinthians 10:5)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/03/sadly-imagination-and-interesting-walk.html

'faith' that is built upon sinking sand.......

(Matthew 7:21-27) The Messiah testified, "Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My FATHER WHO is in Heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name,  and in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works'? Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity'!

Yet everyone who hears these words of Mine and DOES THEM, I will liken him unto a wise man who built his house on a rock. And the rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house. And it didn’t fall, for it was grounded on The Rock!

Yet everyone who hears these words of Mine and DOESN'T DO THEM, will be liken unto a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house. And great was the fall of it!” (Matthew 7:21-27)

TRUTH IS! Unless a soul has received "a love of The TRUTH so that they might be saved" from their own self("I",ego,id,pride)life, and then are "Born Again" of The Holy, Set Apart, SPIRIT that IS "Our FATHER)(CREATOR) and GOD(SPIRIT)"; until then they can not comprehend, NOR CAN THEY DO The Words Our FATHER gave unto HIS Son The Messiah! (I Corinthians 2:14, II Thessalonians 2:10-13, John 3:3,7, I Peter 1:23, John 20:17; 5:19,30)

The Destruction of Creation and The Perversion of That Which IS SPIRIT and TRUTH!

Sadly, what this world and/or religion's way call "progress" IS "progress"ively destroying Creation (air, water, land, vegetation, creatures), and those who follow and believe in the "progress"ive worldly and/or religious ways are perverting that which IS SPIRIT (TRUTH, Light, Life, Love, Peace, Faith, Grace, Hope,,,,, ALL that is Truly GOOD)!  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/12/progress-or-progressive-destruction.html

And The CREATOR(FATHER,TRUTH,SPIRIT,GOD,,,,,,, ALL IN ALL that which IS Truly GOOD) has promised that HE will "destroy those who would destroy the earth (HIS Creation)!" (Revelations 11:18c)

Yet there IS a Living, Lively Hope!

However, such A Hope is not for that which is earthly, natural and temporal.......

Such A Living, Lively Hope IS for that which is Heavenly, Spiritual and Eternal!

The u.s.a....... a ‘christian’ country indeed!

First her birth...... 

Born in the bloodshed of rebellion against authority! The taxation (loss of their precious money) which caused her to rebel has taxed her people to the utmost.......

"Blood money" and Double Mindedness indeed!!

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/a-double-minded-man-is-unstable-in-all.html

And she now seeks to punish those who would dare to rebel and bear witness against such things as abortion; perverse relationships; educational pollution; the playground that is politics; destruction of the earth; and the perversion of that which IS SPIRIT,,,,,,,etc.......

What does ''I and My FATHER are One" mean? (John 10:30)

The Messiah testified, "I and My FATHER are One." (John 10:30)

And are not the brethren of The Messiah One with The FATHER(HE WHO IS SPIRIT) and The Son!

"And in that day you shall know that I am in My FATHER, and you in Me, and I in you." (John 14:20)

"That they all may be One, as YOU FATHER are in Me, and I in YOU, that they also may be One in US, that the world may believe that YOU have sent Me!" (John 17:21)

HalleluYAH!

My Prayer....... FATHER Help! ....... and HE does.......

Someone had asked: "Do you pray in Jesus name or do you pray in your own name?"

And i responded:

If someone prays in the name of the pagan catholic and christian 'jesus (the transliteration of the pagan latin catholic 'iesus'), an "imag"ined name they gave to one head of their "imag"ined three-headed pagan god(s) less than 600 years ago!  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2011/08/name-of-messiah.html

To whom or what are they praying?

Simpy, TRUTH IS! when one prays in the name of the "imag"ined 'jesus' they  pray to "the father of lies("imag"ination)", he who is the "god of this evil world" and the author of religion's way in this day and age! (John 8:44, Romans 1:21, II Corinthians 10:5; 4:4, John 7:7, I John 5:19; 2:15-17, James 1:27; 4:4)

And then he questioned: "Do you say The Lord's Prayer"?

A Reply to one called Two Oaks concerning The TRUTH!

Two Oaks, as i reviewed the thread it came to me to respond further to the comments you had posted.

Sadly, there are many indigenous peoples who believe they will "beat the white(spirit) man at his own game"!

And needs be i testify that i am a "white man" on the outside(flesh) but not inside(Spirit); and neither am i a wanna be "Indian(indigenous people)" of any tribe on earth in this day and age! For it is The Spirit that IS within the man, that IS the man....... And The Faithful ARE Family, in SPIRIT and TRUTH!

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/06/a-living-body-family-of-our-father-and.html

And TRUTH IS! ALL who play "the white man's game" are LOSERS!
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2010/11/oh-games-people-play.html

John Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress".......

i find it quite revealing that most all of the religions(cults) which declare that they are "catholic" and/or "christian" appreciate John Bunyan's literary work called "Pilgrim's Progress".
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/10/someone-accused-me-of-being-member-of.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/religion-was-and-is-yet-needful-for.html

However when it is mentioned that the first step 'christian' took when he began his "Faith walk", was to leave his natural family behind because they would not take heed unto his words and "walk the walk"?  

Well all of a sudden questions?  And ridicule!  And then denial, as other works of the flesh and fleshly mindedness manifest themselves....... (Galatians 5:17)

And sadly, today the prophetic words of Isaiah 3:12 !RESOUND! midst the perverseness and destruction that is of this evil world and/or religion's way(except it be The Active Faith revealed in James 1:27) in this day and age!  (John 7:7, I John 2:15-17; 5:19, James 1:27; 4:4)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/10/love-not-world.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2008/10/pure-and-undefiled-religion.html

There IS Only One TRUE GURU(aka: MASTER, TEACHER)!

First it needs be REALized that Faith will not create a religion, for The Faithful ARE Family! The Family of Our FATHER and GOD", "of WHOM the whole Family in Heaven and ON EARTH is named! (James 1:27, Ephesians 3:15)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/religion-was-and-is-yet-needful-for.html

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2011/07/family-of-faith-or-system-of-religion.html

And it needs be REALized that The Faithful yet on earth have their portion !NOW! in "The Household of Faith"! For our "citizenship(Life) IS !NOW! in Heaven", and thankfully soon and very soon we will be taken Home, Home at last....... (Galatians 6:10, Philippians 3:20, John 14:1-3)

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/01/home-home-at-last-john-141-3.html

Till then, we choose to remain but "aliens and pilgrims while on the earth" evermore REALizing how Truly "poor and in need" of Our FATHER and GOD we are! (Hebrews 8:13, I Peter 2:11, Psalms 70:5; 72:13, Luke 18:7)

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/09/father-help-and-he-does.html

And TRUTH IS! "Our FATHER" HE IS The Only TRUE GOD and MASTER(GURU) of ALL! John 17:3; 12:49; 14:10,28)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/02/one-in-spirit-with-our-father-and-god.html

A DISCLAIMER!

There are those who never did read the DISCLAIMER that used to be posted in the left hand column of this blog site, and the current disclaimer in the left hand column of the blog site is liken unto a summary of that original DISCLAIMER. 

The original DISCLAIMER follows:

The testimonies on this blog bear witness unto The TRUTH that all religion (except it be The Active Faith as revealed in James 1:27) is of "the father of lies", he who is "the god of this evil world"! And TRUTH IS "the WHOLE world (not just a portion) is under the control of the evil one"!  (John 8:44; 15:19-20, II Corinthians 4:4, I John 5:19; 2:15-17, James 4:4, John 7:7)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/08/why-religion-was-and-is-yet-needful-for.html

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/10/love-not-world.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/11/behold-world-is-coming-together-as-one.html

The testimonies are posted for revelation, not condemnation of those who currently have their portion in and of this evil world and/or religion's way in this day and age. (I John 5:19, James 1:27; 4:4)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-whole-world-not-just-portion-is.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/religion-was-and-is-yet-needful-for.html

"The Lamb of GOD?" and "Prince of Peace?"

Is the pagan catholic and christian 'jesus christ' The Only Begotten Son of "The ONE and ONLY TRUE GOD(SPIRIT) and FATHER(CREATOR) of ALL"? (John 3:16-18; 17:3; 20:17)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/08/one-and-only-true-g-d-fathercreator-of.html

Or is he the devil's son in bland disguise,
"imag"ined to make man wonder and less the wise?

Thankfully "The Lamb of GOD!" and "Prince of Peace!" are one in the same,

Yet multiplied billions have been killed or enslaved in 'jesus' name!
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/09/multiplied-billions-killed-and-enslaved.html

Proving that the fruit of death is bore in the pagan catholic and christian ways,

Because life is but a pawn in the wicked game they play!

Yahshua(Joshua in modern english) Was The Messiah's GOD Given Birth Name!

Simply, 'jesus' is but the english translation of the "imag"ined pagan latin name(iesus) that catholicisim and her #1 harlot christian daughter (the aptly named church OF england), gave to one head of their "imag"ined three headed pagan god(s) less than 600 years ago!

Less than 600 years ago?

YES! Yet so many contradictory words concerning the name of The Messiah have been written it is difficult to pinpoint the exact year, or decade, or century when the "imag"ined name of 'jesus' was first spoken and/or published.......

However, in the original 1611 kjv they were yet using the pagan greek "Iesous(Ιησούς)" as the name of The Messiah, and one thing is certain! Both The Messiah and Joshua(the greek "Ιησούς" was translated as "Joshua" in the greek old testament) of the old covenant were given the same Hebrew birth name! And to change the name of one, and not the other; or to change their GOD given birth name WAS NOT, and IS NOT of The TRUTH! And apart from The TRUTH what is there? (James 1:18, II Thessalonians 2:10-13)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2011/08/name-of-messiah.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2013/05/one-needs-receive-love-of-truth-to-be.html

"Pure Religion and Undefiled"!

Hopefully there would be those reading this who have rightly "seen" religion's way for what it is, and not what it pretends to be! (II Peter 2:1-3)

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/10/religions-way-is-anti-messiah.html

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/religion-was-and-is-yet-needful-for.html

Hope is, there would be those who have REALized (not just read) that "the natural man can not receive the things that are of The SPIRIT that IS Our FATHER and GOD! For that which is of Our FATHER and GOD is foolishness unto the natural man and he can not know such things, for that which is of The SPIRIT that IS Our FATHER and GOD needs be Spiritually discerned"....... (I Corinthians 2:14, John 4:24)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/10/thinker-or-receiver.html

And "The Word of TRUTH (aka: the 'bible' of the worldly and religious ones)" bears witness unto The TRUTH that testifies, there IS Only One "Pure Religion And Undefiled before Our FATHER and GOD"! (James 1:18,27) 

"For yet a little while, and He(The Messiah) that IS Coming, Will Come, and Will Not Tarry!" (Hebrews 10:37)

"Yet a little while"!  (Hebrews 10:37a)

And He (The Messiah) that IS Coming, Will Come, and Will Not Tarry" (ie: no delay, or tardiness in acting or doing)! (Hebrews 10:37b)

And when that which was "decaying and waxing old" DID "vanish away" with the destruction of the natural, earthly, temporal temple realm centered in old jerusalem! It was during that time of "The END" of the old covenant age, that The Messiah DID "Come Again" and "QUICKLY" just as He prophesied! (Hebrews 8:13, Revelations 3:11; 22:7,12,20, Luke 21:32, Mark 9:1, Matthew 26:64b, John 21:24, Matthew 10:23, I John 2:18, 28)

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/06/and-then-end-will-come-matthew-2414.html

And those with "eyes that see" have not only REALized that The Messiah DID "Come Again" and "QUICKLY", but they evermore REALize how "poor and in need" of Our FATHER and GOD we Truly are! (Rev 3:11, Psalms 70:5, 72:13)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/11/my-prayer-father-help-and-he-does.html

Needs? - And/Or - Wants?

Why is it that the True Americans, the indigenous peoples, had 3 (food,clothing,shelter) basic needs, and maybe 30 or so wants; and then, less than 100 years ago the majority of those immigrants in this place called the u.s.a. had 7 or so needs, and maybe 70 or so wants?

And today?

Why is it that today, those in the u.s.a (and other worldly nations liken unto them) seem to have more than 70 or so needs, and hundreds of wants?

What is Truly needed?

Further testimony concerning 'religion' and The TRUTH!

The following is a testimony(with additions) i had given in response to an e-mail from a soul who sought to extol their version of religion's way in this day and age.

i appreciate your responding:

i had believed you would appreciate that which evermore reveals that the pagan catholic and christian 'jesus' is but the "imag"ined son of the devil!
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2013/08/who-is-this-pagan-catholic-and.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-father-of-lies-has-made-his.html

And i wanted to assure you that we were in harmony on that account.

However, what of the brethren of The Messiah, those who have their portion !NOW! in "The Family of Our FATHER and GOD while yet ON EARTH"? (Ephesians 3:15)

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2011/07/family-of-faith-or-system-of-religion.html

. .The Life -OR- death? Easy choice! However, to live yet die?. .

Who is seeking to live, yet die? 

For it seems that to live yet die is an impossible task,
And so a soul needs of Our FATHER(CREATOR), the impossible to ask!

Help me to die....... Help me die to "I(ego, id, self, pride)" FATHER!

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/05/i-must-die.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/11/my-prayer-father-help-and-he-does.html

For only those who REALize the need to seek and desire the death of their own self ("I", id, ego, pride) life can be empowered to follow that "Narrow Way"! For such a 'death' IS "The Way, The TRUTH, and The Life" as revealed in both The Life and The Teachings of The Messiah. (Matthew 7:14, II Thessalonians 2:10-13, John 5:-19,30; 8:28-29)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/07/father-not-my-will-but-thy-will-be-done.html

A Simple Commentary Revealing The TRUTH of Genesis Chapter 1 thru Genesis 2:3.......

This testimony simply bears witness unto The TRUTH that was revealed unto me concerning The Creation account of Genesis Chapter 1 thru Genesis 2:3. "So simple that a child could understand", a "Born Again" child of "Our FATHER and GOD" that is! (John 3:3,7, I Peter 1:23, john 20:17)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/10/a-born-again-experience_15.html

However, the links to testimonies within this commentary are more detailed and i can but hope they will be rightly understood!

Thankfully in spite of me, not because of me, i experienced what i consider to be The Miracle that is "receiving a love of The TRUTH so that i might be saved", some 45 years ago! (II Thessalonians 2:10-13)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2013/05/one-needs-receive-love-of-truth-to-be.html

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/07/god-if-you-are-god.html

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2013/07/miracles-faith-receiving-love-of-truth.html

And in this testimony i but seek to share with others that which i have "seen (experienced) and heard (received)" concerning "The Beginning of The Creation of Our FATHER and GOD....... (I John 1:3, Revelations 3:14)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-beginning-of-creation-of.html

Someone testified, "Clearly the flood is a myth".......

Someone had commented, "Clearly the Flood is a myth.  That can be shown in many different ways, the various claims can be shown to be wrong using geology, biology, and even physics. There are those who are making claims about the Flood, why do they make them if they know they cannot defend them"?

And i responded(with further testimony added): 

Thankfully TRUTH IS! in spite of your pompous worldly and "scientific" vain 'imag'inations! (Romans 1:21, II Corinthians 10:5)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/10/our-father-and-god-considers-wisdom-of.html

You but continue to prove that the ways of this evil world and/or religion(except The Active Faith of James 1:27) in this day and age are yet having their way with you! (John 7:7, I John 2:15-17; 5:19, James 1:27: 4:4)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/11/the-ways-of-this-world-andor-religion.html

Your three headed pagan god(geology,biology,physics) is no different than the "imag"ined three headed pagan god(s) of pagan catholicism and most of her harlot christian daughters! Yet all of pagan catholicism's harlot christian daughters follow their pagan catholic mother, and the worldly wise ones, on that "broad way to destruction"and damnation! (Matthew 7:13, I Corinthians 1:20-21; 3:19, II Corinthians 1:12)

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/07/simply-progress-so-called-is-destroying.html

It is written, "Of the wo-man came the beginning of sin, and through her we all die"! (Ecclesiasticus 25:24, Genesis 3:1-6)

And Peter testified, the wo-man is the "weaker vessel"! (I Peter 3:7)

Not only physically but Spiritually as well! (I Timothy 2:14)

And so it was that Paul testified, "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection! For I suffer not a wo-man to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed and then Eve, and the woman being deceived was in the transgression"! (I Timothy 2:11-14)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/the-strongest-thing-in-world.html

Yet in this day and age, many of the "nations" have passed laws that give the "wo-man the right to rule over a man; laws that allow her children to oppress the man whom they believe is their father(why is it that very few children today resemble their mother's husband?)"....... (Isaiah 3:12)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2010/07/women-rule-and-children-oppress-is-312.html

The Messiah, “The True Light which enlightens every man born into the world”! (John 1:9)

"Our FATHER and GOD said, "Let There Be Light!", and there was Light"....... (Genesis 1:3)

Our FATHER and GOD (The CREATOR of ALL, HE WHO IS LIGHT!) spoke HIS Word into being, and HIS Word WAS! (I John 1:5) 

"The Light", "The Glory The Messiah had with Our FATHER before the world began"! (John 1:1-14, 17:5)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-word-of-god-let-there-be-light.html

The Messiah, "The Beginning of The Creation of Our FATHER", "The Firstborn of ALL Creation"! (Revelations 3:14, Colossians 1:15)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-messiah-beginning-of-creation-of.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-1st-day-of-creation-genesis-11-5.html

And Paul experienced “The Light“ that IS The Messiah on the road to Damascus: 

"jesus" is the "imag"ined son of "the father of lies"!

Someone had commented, "Then we agree that Jesus IS NOT God I suppose. I think that 90% of the Protestants keep the same errors of the RCC. They just will not let go of tradition. You seem to have some different thoughts, like me."

And i responded (with further testimony added):

The Messiah's GOD given Hebrew birth name translated into today's english language would not be 'jesus'!  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2011/08/name-of-messiah.html

TRUTH IS! 'jesus' is the "imag"ined son of the devil, he who is "the father of lies", "the god of this evil world" and/or religion's way in this day and age(except it be The Active Faith as revealed in James 1:27)! So it is that today it has been said that there are more than 30,000 pagan catholic and christian religious sects(cults), and there are multiplied thousands of other religious sects as well! (John 7:7; 8:44, II Corinthians 4:4, I John 5:19, James 1:27; 4:4)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/10/religions-way-is-anti-messiah.html

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/08/why-religion-was-and-is-yet-needful-for.html

Someone had testified that i had a "voracious appetite"!

And i responded (with further testimony added): 

"If i do have a  "voracious appetite" such is for The TRUTH"! (II Thessalonians 2:10-13)

That which you and other souls who are in and of this evil world, and/or religion's way (except it be The Active Faith as revealed in James 1:27), yet seek to crucify....... (Mathew 23, John 7:7, James 1:27: 4:4)

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/religion-was-and-is-yet-needful-for.html

Yet Thankfully that which IS of The TRUTH can not be crucified, for that which IS of The TRUTH WILL ALWAYS RISE AGAIN! (Acts 13:26-30)

HalleluYAH!

A worldly soul had written of the need to be "self-reliant"!

"Self("I", ego, id, pride)reliant"?

TRUTH IS! "Self-reliance" and/or "Self-sufficiency" both have their portion in and of "the father of lies", he who is the "god of this evil world" and religion's way(except The Active Faith as revealed in James 1:27) in this day and age! (John 8:44, II Corinthians 4:4)

And TRUTH IS! As The Messiah testified, so also have His brethren REALized "i can do nothing of my own self"....... (John 5:19,30; 8:28-29; 7:16; 12:49-50; 14:10,23-24; 17:8,14)

Philosophy is of the mind of man! Mankind's "imag"ination, reasoning and logic.......

The following is a testimony i gave in response to a Hindu believer who was of those who believe philosophy is a good thing.

Philosophy is of the mind of man; his "imag"ination, reasoning and logic! And/or his lack of understanding concerning that which he has experienced.......

For TRUTH IS! "If any man thinks he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know"!  (I Corinthians 8:2)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/04/you-that-are-unable-to-do-least-why-do.html

Simply, philosophy has it's portion in "the wisdom of this world" and "knowledge(aka: science), falsely so-called"; both of which "are but foolishness unto Our FATHER and GOD"! (I Corinthians 1:20; 3:19, II Corinthians 1:1, I Timothy 6:20)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/10/our-father-and-god-considers-wisdom-of.html

What is Success, and who is Successful?

Simply, "Success" IS of The SPIRIT and IS Life! .......FOREVER....... (John 11:26)

And it needs be that i testify, "of all the men who have received the breath (Spirit, air) of life since i received my first breath in '43, i respect Mahatma Gandhi above all others( A Prime Example of A Soul Who Was and IS Successful). The source of such respect being The Spirit of, and in, the quotes attributed to him.......

Some of those quotes(in italics) follow: (*my comments*)

“I like your christ, I do not like your christians. Your christians are so unlike your christ"!

The Messiah testified, "Why do you call Me good? There is none GOOD but ONE, HE WHO IS GOD"! (Mark 10:18)

Thankfully i have REALized if that which i think, do, or speak, IS The Will of "Our FATHER and GOD", such IS GOOD! (John 20:17, Philippians 2:13, Mark 10:18, Psalms 31:5)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/07/father-not-my-will-but-thy-will-be-done.html

And most certainly is not of the "I(ego, id, self, pride)" within me....... (Romans 7:14-25)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/05/i-must-die.html

TRUTH IS! Only that which is of The SPIRIT that IS Our FATHER and GOD IS Truly GOOD! (Mark 10:18, John 4:24)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-messiah-testified-spirit-has-not.html

Not that which i have done, but that which HE has done for me and in me! (Titus 3:5, Philippians 2:13)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-declaration-of-dependence.html

Questions? Concerning Immanuel The Messiah(The Anointed One)! (John 1:41)

John 1:41 rightly translated into english would be, "He first found his own brother Simon, and said unto him, "We have found The Messiah (which being interpreted is The Anointed One)"!
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-messias-which-being-interpreted-is.html

Sadly pagan catholicism and her harlot christian daughters have given their "imag"ined version of a "Messiah" a pagan latin name 'jesus' and a pagan greek title "christ". Yet such IS is an apt name and title for their version of an "anointed one" who is their "god"; or one head of their "imag"ined three-headed pagan god(s); or but an angel or prophet"!
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2013/08/who-is-this-pagan-catholic-and.html

Simply TRUTH IS! "ImmanuEL (GOD with us IN)" The Messiah IS The Only Begotten Son of Our FATHER and ELOHIM", and He was given the same Hebrew birth name as Joshua of the old covenant(Yet when He was immersed in, of, by and thru The Holy, Set Apart, SPIRIT that IS Our FATHER and GOD He was then Immanuel{GOD, HE WHO IS SPIRIT, with us IN The Messiah})! (Matthew 1:23, I Corinthians 5:19, John 3:16-21, Mark 1:9-13)

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2011/08/name-of-messiah.html

HalleluYAH!

And the questions?

"There are some standing here !NOW! who will not taste of death!" (Mark 9:1)

"There are some standing here !NOW! who WILL NOT TASTE OF DEATH, until they (Those The Messiah Was Speaking To) have seen The Kingdom Of Our FATHER And GOD Come with Power!" (Mark 9:1, Matthew 16:28, Luke 9:27) 

AND SO IT WAS!

And such is revealed in the testimony that follows:

TRUTH IS! After The Messiah was crucified, and "Our FATHER and GOD raised Him from among the dead", The Messiah ascended into Heaven! And "Our FATHER and GOD gave The Messiah rule and authority over everything in HIS Kingdom. The only exception being HIMSELF!" (John 20:17, Ephesians 4:9-10, I Corinthians 15:15,24-28)
