It's time to let the "Viewing Audience" decide!

Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near and overtake this chariot.” Acts 8: 29 (NKJV) key words being “the Spirit said”

While Peter thought about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are seeking you. Arise therefore, go down and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.” Acts 10: 19-20 (NKJV) key words being “the Spirit said”

“Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all long-suffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.” Apostle Saul (called Paul), 2 Timothy 4: 2-5 (NKJV) keys words being “Preach the word!” and “fulfill your ministry”

Greetings Friends,

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Messiah Yeshua.

• “in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.” Apostle Saul (called Paul) Romans 2: 16 (NKJV) key words being “by Jesus Christ,” and “my gospel”

• “Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began” Apostle Saul (called Paul), Romans 16: 25 (NKJV) key words being “my gospel” and “the preaching of Jesus Christ”

• “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” Apostle Saul (called Paul), 1 Corinthians 3: 16 (NKJV) key words being “Do you not know that you are”

 It is [Biblically] impossible for a person to receive the Holy Spirit, and not know it.

• “Then Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him” Acts 13: 9 (NKJV) Key words being “Saul,” and he’s  “filled with the Holy Spirit”

• “But she is happier if she remains as she is, according to my judgment—and I think I also have the Spirit of God.” Apostle Saul, 1 Corinthians 7: 40 (NKJV) key words being “I think I also have the Spirit of God”

Do you, John, “think” for one second the Spirit of God is going to place the Scriptures in the hands of men to be “interpreted” by them to determine what [we], those found to be [in] Messiah, are going to lean on to get the understanding of them, the Scriptures? Does Saul’s use of the words “my gospel” and “the preaching of Jesus Christ” mean anything to you; what are your interpretations of them? I’ll give you mine in a “nut shell;” as given to [me] [by] the Spirit of God.

• Everything Saul (in his “my gospel” writings) left us with will be in agreement with everything Yeshua “the preaching of Jesus Christ” said, and did; as given to him, Saul, by the Spirit of God.

You’ve established (with your own writings) man “Greek Scholars” as being the reason we actually have the “NT,” New Testament. I’m going to give that accomplishment to God, and God [alone], He did “But indeed for this purpose I have raised you up,” Exodus 9: 16 (NKJV), raise up Pharaoh. “That I may show My power in you (Pharaoh), and that My name may be declared in all the earth,” (Exodus 9: 16, NKJV) for, the sake of His chosen people (the Hebrew speaking Nation); which we, those found to be [in] Messiah, are partakers of God’s Promises to/with them; by and through the blood of the Lamb. Don’t leave out the “Old Testament,” Hebrew Scriptures in your study my friend; just a suggestion.

If you, John, believe that I’m calling myself another Saul, you’d be greatly mistaken. What all that (above) means (pertaining to me) is that I agree with Saul as he’s being led by the Spirit of God “preaching” Yeshua’s [gospel] message; as given to me by the [same] Spirit of God; which will be in agreement with everything Yeshua said, and did; which was given to Him, Yeshua, by God.

I can safely say, there’s not one interpretation (man’s of course) of the Scriptures, and that is found to be a contradiction to them, the Scriptures, that can [will] cause me to turn away from what God has placed in my care.  “Not one!” You, John, can have as many dates, names (from outside the Bible), reasons to believe it’s so (from outside the Bible), as you like. It comes down to how a person receives the understanding of them, the Scriptures, that counts; as given to them by the Spirit of God.

John, you have [verbally] mentioned to me, saying, “I’m not going to say as given to me by the Spirit of God, people get stoned (having rocks thrown at them) for saying that;” God knows I’m telling the truth. John, I’ll continue to give the Spirit of God the credit for everything He gave/gives me.

• I do know the difference between dying to self, and living for self; and He (the Spirit of God) will step in right quick reminding me of that.

“GOD IS GOOD!” John, I just looked (taking a brief pause from writing) at your new comments.

• This will be found in the post titled I invite [you] into “The Conversation” (February 21, 2014, comment within it having a February 26, 2014 date and 10: 35 pm time attached to it.

You begin by saying “I just explained my source in the previous comment. God’s Spirit…” Then, two paragraphs down from that you say “The Christians in the 4^th century were dealing with the same issue. The church leaders met and discussed and prayed and AFFIRMED the belief that Jesus was fully God and fully Man according to the NT texts.”

John, are you telling me their “prayed” prayers establishes the Spirit of God as being their [source]? John, are you telling me the “church leaders” were under the guidance of the Holy Spirit then; let alone today? If the answer is “yes” coming from you, how do you know that? John, greater than all, are you telling me the word “Christians” makes it, their decision, so? Have you checked out what’s being accepted into the so called “Christian” churches, today?

Thank you my friend, I believe the “viewing audience” will have [zero] no problem seeing the [SOURCE] of your “God” and “Man” Son of God being God explanation as to how it came to be. Now, (as you previously mentioned in a recent comment) let’s leave it up to them, the “viewing audience” to decide. You’ve clearly established your end of the “deal,” discussion.

I’ll give them (“the viewing audience”) two things (as given to me by the Spirit of God) to “consider,” looking at in their quest for, [Biblical] truth; my prayer is for them to follow the guidance of the Spirit of God as they do: (1) “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ” Apostle Saul, (which one of the many [found in Scripture] verses do I want to use)… 2 Corinthians 1: 3 (NKJV); not forgetting Apostle Peter (1 Peter 1: 3, NKJV, saying, the same thing); which will certainly be in agreement with everything Yeshua said, and did.  (2) “For I am God, and not man.” [God], Hosea 11: 9a (NKJV); can’t forget those Hebrew Scriptures my friend.

It’s all in God’s hands now my friend; not that it wasn't to begin with.

With God’s Love, In His Care…Jim

P.S.

John, in your “comment” mentioned above you also asked the question “The question then is whose interpretation is correct?” First of all, you’re the one calling both (yours and mine) sides as being “interpretations”. I want nothing to do with that! That’s [your] interpretation.

John, you claimed to have read the book Yeshua’s God is God. I have the [comment] to prove it. The book addresses that exact question “Whose interpretation is correct” and it gives (according to the Scriptures) how that is to be determined. For those not having the book as yet, I’ll give you what’s written in it, Yeshua’s God is God, concerning it:

(Page 52): The question “who determines who’s right” or not has already been settled. (Next paragraph): Unless you choose to believe Yeshua is not telling the truth, the words He spoke determines whose right; if you’re interested in finding out the truth. “Everyone who hears My voice” clearly establishes the words Yeshua spoke as being the determining factor. Keeping in mind, the words Yeshua spoke were not His, but the Father’s; therefore, keeping Him from being “Word,” God, as He speaks them.

• “Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” John 18: 37

• “He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.” Messiah Yeshua, John 14: 24 (NKJV)

John, can’t make it [Biblically], any clearer than that; and that’s not an interpretation.

As being the author of the book, I gave myself permission to print a portion of it on this blog.

A Message (with the love of God attached) to John

This post is a direct result of John's comment found in the post titled:  [With] Yeshua, the answer will be "yes". His (this particular one) comment, has the date February 25, 2014, and the time 10:04am attached to it.

John, you continually speak of people being "stoned" having rocks thrown at them, in regards to what the Spirit of God has given me. No further comments on that.

Let's let the [Bible] do the talking; as given to me by the Spirit of God; which means it will be in agreement with everything Yeshua said, and did.

• "Now when they bring you to the synagogues and magistrates and authorities, do not worry about how or what you should answer, or what you should say. For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say." Messiah Yeshua, Luke 12: 11-12 (NKJV)

Everything you've expressed concerning what God has placed in my care, you've denied it as being, truth.

You've made that clear to me, and the viewing audience. No further comments on that.

When that time (my time to face "the music") comes, and it's coming (as given to me by the Spirit of God), I will travel through it, knowing, the Spirit of God is leading the way as I do. When it comes time for decisions to be made concerning what God has placed in my care by those [the powers that be] claiming another [SOURCE] as being the "truth," contradicting what God has placed in my care; which certainly is all about Yeshua; as given to me by the Spirit of God.  John, I've been prepared well, and, I'll continue to trust God. No matter what the "powers that be" choose to do with me, in God's eyes (concerning me) the end will justify the means.

If you, John, think for one second I'm not aware of what's coming my way, you'd be greatly mistaken. If you, John, "think" believe you're the only one I'm having conversations with concerning what God has placed in my care, you'd be greatly mistaken. If you, John, "think" believe no one is coming to the truth of God's message, Yeshua's (as given to Him by God) gospel, you'd be greatly mistaken.

As far as being (in your own words) a "cult," until you define/give the [Source] of your own belief, as being anyone other than your own understanding of man's interpretations of the Scripture...no more comments on that (that's love my friend).

In Love, In His Care...Jim

To John As given to me by the Spirit of God.

Greetings Friends,

This posting is the direct result of John’s comments (February 24, 2014 at 12:19am) found in the Post titled [With] Yeshua, the answer will be “yes” (February 10, 2014).

John, in an earlier “comment,” you stated that you've read the book “Yeshua’s God is God”. On page 48 and 49 it clearly establishes the [Biblical] “response,” answer to your comment. For the sake of not only yourself, but the viewing audience, I’m going to be in agreement with what’s written within the book, and give myself permission to quote directly, from it:

• “No part of this book may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted by any means without the written permission of the author.”

These words (as is) will be found on Pages 48:

• Who is He who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God? This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one. 1 John 5: 5-8 (NKJV)

Page 49:

• The Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, in heaven (verse seven), “[are] one.”

• The Spirit, water, and the blood, on earth (verse eight), “[agree] as one.”

• The common denominator found in both verses is not Yeshua, it’s “the Spirit”.

John, do you “think,” believe, Yeshua’s words (as given to Him by God) have a different “ring tone,” message, to them today than when He [gave] spoke them in the first century? Do you “think,” believe, for one second, Yeshua was unaware of the impact His death on the cross (His followers being without His physical presence then) would have on those choosing to believe in them, His words, today? Do you “think,” believe for one second Yeshua spoke about the “Spirit is truth” to His followers in the first century, while forgetting about [us] (those found to be [in] Messiah), today?

• “If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.” Messiah Yeshua, John 14: 15-18 (NKJV)

• “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.” Messiah Yeshua, John 14: 25-26 (NKJV)

John, (page [1] in Yeshua’s God is God) “I can safely say (which means the Spirit of God is leading the way as I do),” “As given to me by the Spirit of God” simply means: it’s in agreement with everything Yeshua said, and did. Without the Spirit of God’s “seal of approval,” doing so, it’s Biblically impossible to make that claim expecting to be [Biblically], correct.

A person can choose to believe the truth or not, that’s on them. I’m not responsible for the “choices,” decisions made or not made by them. I’m going to continue following the guidance of the Spirit of God; can't make it any simpler than that my friend.

God bless!

In His Loving Care…Jim

I Invite [you] into "The Conversation"

Greetings Friends,

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

This posting is the direct result of a “conversation” taking place between myself and John found within the comments under the post titled  [With] Yeshua, the answer will be “yes” (February 10, 2014).

If in the future you're wanting to talk about, question, "challenge," what God has placed in my care, and this pertains to anyone, please, be prepared to give me the “foundation,” source, of your belief.

Example: If you’re going to say you are a "Christian" and you believe Yeshua is God, then be prepared to give me the [Biblical] (Bible verse and/or verses) evidence of it being so. If you’re going to use outside sources (interpretations of Scripture) such as “from the Greek,” “my teacher/pastor/priest said,” etc.…, give me the reason why you trust it/them; as being 100% accurate (being passed on to you, from the source, correctly). 

• We are talking about the salvation of a person’s soul here, and anything less than 100% will be (coming from me) placed next to everything Yeshua said, and did; which will be found in the Scriptures (I use the New King James Version); as given to me by the Spirit of God.

Please don’t forget the fact of me clearly establishing having once believed in man’s interpretations of the Scriptures making Yeshua God. If you [think] for one second I’m not familiar with them, you’d be greatly mistaken. I choose not to talk/write about them because they’re the very things that caused [me] to [question], [doubt], and the teachings saying Yeshua was God, it in the first place.  All I have to do now is allow those still believing Yeshua is God to use them in their attempt to “prove,” make Him so; it's fail-proof.

• I'm coming against the false doctrines of man, not the writer's of them themselves. It's all about the words they left us with and not the writer's of them. I can safely say the Anthanasian Creed (325-AD) is the high priest of them, false doctrines, all. In regards to Athanasius' eternal destination, none of us knows his [final] decision made, concerning it.

There is [zero] no Biblical evidence of Yeshua being God; therefore, as those believing He is give, "expose," their reasons for believing it is so, that falsehood comes to the surface. The word of God will [now] get placed next to it/them and they'll be "placed," returned to where it/they belong, outside the [Scriptures]; without any evidence of them being, a [Biblical] truth; which is the reason why they, those believing Yeshua is God, continuously ignore [direct] questions concerning the [Biblical] Messiah Yeshua.

I’m going to give you my source right up front, and it’s a [Biblical] fact: Everything, no matter what the topic, will have the Spirit of God having the final say concerning it; which will be in agreement with everything Yeshua (as given to Him by God) said, and did; it’s fail-proof.

God bless!

In Love, In His Care…Jim

[With] Yeshua, the answer will be "yes"

Greetings Friends,

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Messiah Yeshua.

I (Jim Masterson) want to go on record saying, I’m more than willing to discuss the material found within both of my books. I'll begin by asking if the others are prepared to reveal the source of everything they're about to bring into the conversation.  I’ll establish mine as being the Spirit of God; which will be in agreement with everything Yeshua (as given to Him by God) said, and did.

Whether a person is ready [willing] to say yes, or no to that, I‘m [still] willing to continue on with the conversation. The person choosing to [avoid] not answer questions pertaining to the [topic] will leave me no choice but to walk away from it. I have no interest in investing [quality] time on a person that's not willing to take part in both ends of the conversation.

I was asked (recently) by a person having the means to get it done, “Are you (Jim) prepared to go on a (radio) talk show, or the (TV) news with your message? Are you comfortable with speaking before an audience?" I not only said “yes,” to all that, I said to her “I’m expecting no less. God has been preparing me for such a time as this for quite some time now. Yes! I’m ready,” to her.

In Love, In His Care…Jim

P.S.

August 12, 2015

This was added on for the sake of making it easier for you all.  By placing John’s comment, along with my response to it on the same page, you’ll find it much easier to follow.  The good thing is, with hind sight being 20/20, and by the grace of God, my position remains the same.  I’m going to respond to John’s comment, paragraph by paragraph, with great care.

John Cannon DC February 25, 2014 at 10:04 AM

Jim,
I do not accept that you have heard from the Spirit of God in your message. Why, because your facts are incorrect, your answers are illogical, and it is a blatant form of coercion and manipulation. I know you think or believe you have heard something special from God, yet your position is not supported by the Scriptures.

My response:

My position is not supported by [man’s interpretations] of the Scriptures.  Why, because it’s man’s interpretations of the Scriptures, not what’s actually written in the Bible, making, better yet forcing Yeshua to be “the Son is God,” God.

Next Paragraph:

Consider this, in the old testament, if a prophet claiming to be speaking from God, was incorrect about one part of his message he was to be stoned as a false prophet. This is how serious the issue really is.

My Response:

I agree, this is a serious issue. Consider this: in the New Testament those preaching Yeshua’s gospel, not their own, were not only stoned to death, some were crucified, and, beheaded. By the way, just for the sake of accuracy, I’m not claiming to be a prophet.

Next Paragraph:

I also do not accept your premise that I or anyone else must say "the Spirit of God" before stating a verifiable fact, an opinion, or an explanation. If it comes out of a man’s mouth via his brain then it is man’s opinion. Whether it is from the Spirit of God, that is to be tested by the veracity of the message amongst God’s community. By insisting upon this, you are urging people and yourself to take the Lord's name in vain. It is careless, and disrespectful to my Lord Jesus and His Father to invoke HIs name unless one is a prophet.

My Response:

“Tested by the veracity of the message amongst God’s community.”? My friend, if “God’s community” isn’t willing to say as given by the Spirit of God, whose authority, concerning the message they’re preaching, are they claiming to be under? When it comes to Yeshua’s “God” status, coming from either side of the argument, there has to be a source.

Next Paragraph:

Not all visions, or voices or spirits or healings come from God. Many are deceived. Why does John write “do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.” Do you know any Believers? If you do, ask them what they think of your message.

My Response:

“Do you know any believers”? I know you, yet at the same time we’re saying two different things. You’re going to lean on those having the same mind set as you; which doesn’t make all of you right and me wrong. I know you just quoted a verse of Scripture, but where did the idea of asking people what they believe have anything to do with what the Spirit of God is teaching me. That verse of Scripture, in John’s writings, is telling me to do the exact opposite of what you’re suggesting. It’s telling me not to trust in man, but the Spirit of God, instead.

Next Paragraph:

As far as your reference to “man’s interpretation” you use this to avoid dialog and communictation. When you cannot answer a question or that it goes against your opinion, you say that it is “man’s opinion” and that you agree with Yeshua and Paul and Peter. That is [zero] no value. It is a form of manipulation and undermines your credibility.

My Response:

“It is a form of manipulation and undermines your credibility.”? John, how would you interpret the words “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,” which will be found in the Bible, to say, mean, anything but Yeshua’s God, and Father, is the same God and Father of the people "our" the writer is speaking of?  For “credibility” sake, don’t be found guilty of avoiding the question.

Next Paragraph:

The Bible itself is from God and was written by men. He did not dictate to them as secretatries. He guided them in their lives and gave them human gifts to record the message for us to read. Unless you are Morman and believe that God wrote them down via angels on a golden tablets which he did not leave behind for us to verify. 

My Response:

Wow! “The Bible itself is from God and was written by men.” [Perfect], you’re not far from the kingdom my friend. Now if you’d just go back and read your paragraph again. This time replacing “golden tablets”  with the Anthanasian Creed’s “the Son is God”.

Next Paragraph:

As to the source, God is our Source. The information that comes from the many who have learned the original biblical languages, studied the culture, worked thousands of hours to bring forth a translation in English for me AND YOU to read. I was taught English by many people in my past that taught me how to speak and read. Does God use all of those people to help me see his Truth and communicate His Truth it to others? Yes. However, if anyone claims to have a word from God it must be tested as to its truthfulness. I do not know of ANYONE but Jehovah's Witnesses and Unitarians that would agree with you and your message. They misrepresent many of the teachings of the bible -- not just the doctrine of the nature of Jesus.

My Response:

John, you keep mentioning other religions as being on the wrong side of your belief. How do you explain, better yet interpret, Matthew 7:21-23? In its people are saying they prophesied, casted out demons, and did many wonders in Yeshua’s name. Yeshua, in response, said, “I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!” Are you okay with that?

Next Paragraph:

This is my last post until you begin to explain, and answer questions and enter into honest dialog. Whether your acknowledge this or not, your thoughts and opinions that you claim from God are dependent on “man’s interpretations” just like anyone else on this earth. This is called dialog. You deflect the issue by pushing people to claim "prophet" status. Your authority comes from your own self proclaimed revelation from God. You challenge anyone when you are unable to provide an adequate answer to say they are speaking on behalf of God. If you indeed claim you are a prophet then keep using "thus saith the Lord" or "given to me by the Spirit of God." Then let the People of God judge whether your message defines you are a prophet of God or prophet of Satan. There is no middle ground with the subject matter chosen.

Grace and Peace, 

John

My response:

“Prophet of God or prophet of Satan”? Wow!!
