A year in reflection…
I live in Queensland Australia, at the beginning of the year my home like many others was damaged by the flood waters but I was helped to recover what was lost and realised many cared.
I became very ill from a germ the flood waters incubated but because of it I found help for my weakened immune system that I had suffered from for years because of toxic medication.
I had a serious Accident on my Mobility Scooter but I was not badly hurt and now have a Scooter I can trust to get me home.
During the year I broke my Ankle and found I had on going help that I didn’t know was available from the Government.
Little Petal one of my precious doggy friends died … Missy another little dog knocked at my front door lost and confused and became a much-loved part of my family.
My Computer crashed and through error the Technician Lost 5 years of my work… but my friends e-mails, created Power points etc were saved.
I started blogging and now have a hacker who is causing me much distress deleting my posts and changing settings… but my Husband Ron will join me next year blogging which will help greatly to encourage me to keep going and I have had much happiness in making new friends and continue to do so… Many thanks to all of you.
At the beginning of December my much Loved older Sister died but a mysterious letter from her arrived 2 weeks before telling me how much she Loved me, it was written a year ago but was lost in the post.
I spent Christmas day alone for the first time in my life it was not planned or wanted and my Christmas dinner was Cheese on toast… but my faithful furry companions never left my side and the many Christmas cards I received and your Posts uplifted me and so later I was able to reflect again on the real meaning of the Season and give thanks. The next day was my Birthday and a Loving friend made it one I will never forget… it was very, very special.
And…many times throughout the year my Loving and Compassionate God has touched my heart with deep inner Joy and reassured me that …I am indeed a Child of The King of Kings and I look forward to the New Year with thankfulness and an assurance that all things will work together for good because I Love the Lord but amazingly and so breathtakingly awesome, He Loved me first…How very good is that Truth!
Christian Love and many Blessings to all of you and your Loved ones – Anne.

The Scriptures tell us Marcusampe that without the Holy Spirit we can’t understand the things of God 1 Corinthians2:9-16 instead the natural man Trusts in his own or others fleshy understanding, logic and reasoning, instead of God’s confirmation both in His inspired written word and by Jesus The Living Word John1.
The Scriptures I shared with you before Marcusampe show very clearly that The Godhead or Trinity are a reality and were from Eternity but for those who are following our Blog, we will address your statements and because we don’t know your eternal destiny and are not to judge, only the error you teach and your spirit, so if you lack God’s Love or do evil, we know your not walking in Christ Jesus or have you been Born again of His seed 1John 3:9 but you may do so in the future and we will pray you do.
It seems Marcusampe in regard to the Doctrine that you shared, if you believe it you are deceived like many others who have not asked for God’s wisdom James1:5-7 and so are not Trusting in Jesus to teach and lead them, those who have will know what is shared by me is confirmed in the Scriptures, as it is also written on their hearts.
When Jesus was conceived it was by The Holy Ghost and we are told in Matthew1 His name means God with us, He did not have the seed of Mankind only the flesh through Mary, His earthly Mother who was God’s chosen vessel and is in the ancestor of King David the same as Joseph was who Jesus earthly father.
Jesus did not have our flesh Nature, He never sinned, if He had He would not have been able to choose to be our substitute and take our punishment as the spotless Lamb, the final sacrifice. 1 Peter 1:19
When Adam chose to sin by listening to Eve instead of obeying God, Genesis 3:17 he also chose his own destiny as did Eve when after being deceived she encouraged Adam to disobey God who had given them free will the same as you and me. God does not make us sin or Tempt us to do so, James1:2-15 we choose to, and so we reap what we sow.
A child is under His Grace until they know right from wrong so they are not punishment for the sins of their Parents but as Adults we have no excuse because we can see in Creation the reality of The Godhead which as I shared is confirmed also in Scripture and in the hearts of God’s chosen children.Romans 1:18-22
Those who continue to sin without true heart repentance will die in their sin, their hearts become so hardened they die spiritually, James1, even though they are physically alive, which means they are without Love, evil is the absence of Love. They like all of us were created in the likeness of God but they are now in the image of their father Satan and will suffer eternally as he will in Hell which he created to torture God’s children.
All good things come from God, The Great I AM, Revelation 1:8 & 17-18 He cannot create evil, everything He created was very good including Satan but having free will like us and all the other Angles, he chose instead of submission and obedience because of pride to usurp God’s Authority wanting His glory and to be worshiped by all mankind, the same as the Beast who will soon make his presence known, and like Satan will use his power for evil, which is the absence of Love.
All those who willingly worship the Beast with understanding and accept his mark are spiritually dead and so eternal separated from the presence of God, they are the goats or weeds, this was their choice not God’s, it is not His will that anyone perishes but He knows those who will as He also knows His eternal Children, saved by grace in Jesus Christ but He is patient giving us time to come to True heart repentance and so be conformed into His image and perfected in Love. To take The Holy Spirit away before this means His Redeemda Children would perish too but we know not one of us who calls on The Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, our eternal God will be lost, all will come to repentance willingly and be Saved because they are Saved… He is giving us time.
On the cross Jesus was separated for the first time from His Father since His birth because of our sin, good and evil cannot be in unity, He became fully man and as our Sacrificial Lamb who was without spot or blemish,1 Peter 1:19 His death was physical not spiritual, this is why those who reject Jesus will suffer eternally in Hell, our spirit cannot die, but our souls will perish separating us eternally from God if we do not accept the free gift of Salvation in Jesus Christ through heart repentance.
God knows before we are conceived in the flesh that we will repent and so are His eternal Children adopted into His family being One in the Spirit by having His seed or Holy Nature.
Jesus on the cross as fully man being clothed in our sin chose to forgive and then the control of Satan’s slavery to sin in our lives was finished, he has no power over those who are saved and so are being saved, only by deceiving them into believing he does, he is the father of lies.
When Jesus appeared to His Disciples unlike when He talked to Mary in the garden, He was fully resurrected in Body , Soul and Spirit, He was not a ghost, that is why they could touch Him but Mary couldn’t. His body unlike ours when we die did not decay. Psalm16:10
We hope this summery will help you marcusampe to seek for the True God with all your being so you will be able to Love Him with all your heart and others too, even those who seek to hurt us, who our enemies we are to forgive and Love, what we do to others we are doing to The Godhead our Eternal Almighty God who is All and is All that is good. James1:16-17

You profess to be a Christadelphian marcusampe and that you don’t believe in The Godhead or Trinity as they are called today and yet we see Their reality from Genisis to Revelation, does this mean you ignor these Scriptures or just don’t see them? this is the same as those who believe we sin till we die but it’s ok because we are forgiven or that God causes us to suffer so we will obey and Love Him. God tells us all these beliefs are from the flesh and not His Truth, they are not Spirit lead.
I feel sad for you marcusampe because when you reject the Godhead (Trinity ) you are rejecting Jesus The Living Word, at least in your head, hopefully not in your heart because They are One, Jesus as The Living Word leads us into all Truth, when we ask for Godly wisdom we will receive it and then we will know God’s heart through the empowering of The Holy Spirit.1Corinthians2:9-16.
If we take away from Scripture or add to it, we will be punished when it is done to deliberately deceive.
1John 5:7 For there are Three that bear record in Heaven, The Father, The Word, and The Holy Ghost: and these Three are One.
I’m a Christian marcusampe in my heart because it means Christ whithin, and so I’m proud to be called a Christian and this is so regardless of the fact that others call themselves Christians but live and think in a wordly way.
We will pray for you marcusampe that you will come to know Jesus as The Godhead ( Trinity ) fully in your heart because then you will also be in Unity with The Holy Spirit and The Father.
Christian Love from both of us – Anne.

I do follow what is written in the Holy Scriptures which clearly tells us that Jesus is the Son of God and that Jesus can not do anything without his Father who is greater than him. At no place in the Bible you shall be able to find the word Trinity, nor a place where God says, look that is me on earth. Jesus was really tempted and died, while God can not be tempted and can not die.
“ but when the fullness of the time came, god sent forth his son, coming into being out of a woman, having come under law,” (Galatians 4:4 MKJV)
“30 and the angel said to her, do not fear, Mary, for you have found favor with god. 31 and behold! you shall conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name JESUS. 32 he shall be great and shall be called the son of the highest. and the lord god shall give him the throne of his father David. 33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end. 34 then Mary said to the angel, how shall this be, since I do not know a man? 35 and the angel answered and said to her, the holy spirit shall come on you, and the power of the highest shall overshadow you. therefore also that holy one which will be born of you shall be called son of god.” (Luke 1:30-35 MKJV)
“21 ¶ and it happened in the baptizing of all the people, jesus also being baptized, and praying, and the heaven was opened. 22 and the holy spirit came down in a bodily shape, like a dove on him. and a voice came from heaven, which said, you are my son, the beloved; I am delighted in you. 23 and jesus himself was beginning to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) son of Joseph, son of of Heli,” (Luke 3:21-23 MKJV)
“ then jesus answered and said to them, truly, truly, I say to you, the son can do nothing of himself but what he sees the father do. for whatever things he does, these also the son does likewise.” (John 5:19 MKJV)
“ you have heard how I said to you, I go away and I am coming to you again. if you loved me, you would rejoice because I said, I go to the father, for my father is greater than I.” (John 14:28 MKJV)
“ jesus said to her, do not touch me, for I have not yet ascended to my father. but go to my brothers and say to them, I ascend to my father and your father, and to my god and your god.” (John 20:17 MKJV)
“ but I would have you know that the head of every man is christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of christ is god.” (1 Corinthians 11:3 MKJV)
“ but when all things are subjected to him, then the son himself also will be subject to him who has subjected all things to him, so that god may be all things in all.” (1 Corinthians 15:28 MKJV)

Jesus is our only Teacher marcusampe, I share God’s Truth under His Authority and with His Leading, I asked for His wisdom and received it as He said we would, we cannot understand the Scriptures without it because The Scriptures are His thoughts, His Truth, His inspired words, we need The Holy Spirits empowering as Jesus teaches us all things, our flesh needs to be put to death or we are natural and in darkness. 1Corinthians2(9-16)
The Trinity was first used to refer to the Godhead in 1800 the same as a Dinosaur which was called a Dragon and is described in Job and other Scriptures. The Rapture also a modern name it is called the first Sickle in Revelation and there are other references to it in Scripture. Aids is also described in Romans but not by this name which is modern and we can see it is not a virus but comes from unnatural sex, which has now been confirmed by research. D.N.A is also explained in Scripture and they didn’t even have Pathology and that the World is round and in Space when some even claim it is flat today.
The Scriptures below give us assurance that God is complete in Three Persons and they are One.
Isaiah 9: 6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Colossians 2:9 For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
1 Jonn 5: 7 For there are three that bear witness in Heaven: The Father, The Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in Our image, after Our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.
We have no ill will towards you marcusampe, I was once confused and taught error too, after heart repentance God helped me when I asked believing He would.

The child that is born was a god, i.e. a mighty person like the Pharaoh was a god. Jesus became the father of all those who were going to follow him (the Christians). He witnesses, but also his Father witnesses as well as the Holy Spirit (the force of God). In the Garden of Eden God promised to bring a solution and with the birth of Christ Jesus God His word became real in the flesh. Jesus is the fulfilment of the promise. do not forget when God speaks in the plural form that is the normal use of a high person who shall always speak in the plural majestic like the king and queens at the Old World still do. It does not mean that they are more than one person, it indicates part of their granted power and respect.
Let us hope that everything shall once be made clear for all, so that all confusion may be taken away by God.
Until that time I wish you all the best of luck,
in the love of Christ,
Marcus

You write ” I was once confused and taught error too, after heart repentance God helped me when I asked believing He would.” How did you then come to accept the Trinitarian doctrine, while God is not a lyier and Jesus did not sin, though Jesus said he was not a spirit and showed the disciples his wounds. Either Jesus lied, and when he is also God than God would have lied, or he is really not a spirit (which is right because he is a human born out the virgin Mary). God is a spirit who is eternal, so does not have a beginning nor end and can not die. Why would he fake His death and what could he prove to the world by letting it wait such a long time before He Himself came down to put on this circus of doing like He could be tempted and like He could die? In such an instance the whole matter of Jesus giving his body for all sinners does not make sense at all. Why did God call it a day and directly gave Adam and Eve a new chance and let all their children live in peace, not having to face all those troubles we have to face now?

Hi Marcusampe, Ron felt that perhaps it would be helpful to include some more Scripture references for you that confirm what I’m sharing but if you still need extra to confirm, just let me know, I mostly use the K.J.V. but we need to remember that all the New Testament and parts of the Old were all written in Upper case without small particles such as… a, it, is etc and also without punctuation and grammar.
As I shared before I’m not a Teacher or do I have degrees in Theology or fancy Titals, I do not believe woman are to be in Authority over men and to usurp their Leadership role or be Ordained as they would be doing this, but we are all to share God’s Truth, I’m under God’s Authority and Leading and respect Rons also.
Please see first comment above Marcusampe in reply to yours, it will be easier to follow.

Hello Annie, Our God has seen you through many obstacles this last year… and we have many more to overcome before we see His return (alive or not). This is what gives us hope, as believers, the hope of His return and that we might be ever vigilant to this expectation. Here is one you might like to read and I do hope you’ll comment on it… A Bible Study for January 11th, 2013… ‘Rapture, a promise of God for His own”© [look under “e ratio verbum (out of reasoning word)”]. This one should offer comfort for those that do believe. Take care Annie and Ron.
