BE NOT DECEIVED

11-26-23 God is Thought. The brightness of our revelations depends upon the correctness of our doctrines, our building blocks, our Godly thoughts laid one upon another, ascending into the mind of Christ. Thought is a manifestation of “energy” (electricity analogy). These study notes are archived at tabernacleofmoses.org.

 

BE NOT DECEIVED ABOUT JESUS CHRIST

(1 John 1:1-4) That which was from the beginning [of creation], which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled [Gk: touched], of the Word [Gk: logos] [i.e., the seed (the Bible)] [1] of life [an eternal life of joy with Father God]; (For the life was manifested [2], and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested [“demonstrated” Amplif. Bible] unto us;) That [manifestation] which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

1.    (Luke 8:11) Now the parable is this: The seed is the word [Gk: logos] of God.

a.     (John 1:14) And the Word [Gk: logos] [the seed (the Bible)] was made flesh [in Jesus Christ, i.e., as the Bible], and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten [seed] of the Father,) full of grace and truth. [He appeared in the flesh, and spoke in the Spirit]

2.    manifested = Gk: rendered apparent, appeared, declared /// shined.

 

BE NOT DECEIVED ABOUT HIS MESSAGE

(1 John 1:5-7) This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light [1], and in him is no darkness [2] at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him [with Jesus Christ], and walk in darkness [of this world], we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth [3] us from all sin.

1.    light = Gk: to shine or make manifest, esp. by rays; luminousness: fire /// to show or make known one’s thoughts, speak. [i.e., rays = revelations]

a.     light = Heb: illumination (in every sense, including happiness) /// set on fire, shine.

2.    darkness = Gk: dimness, obscurity /// shadiness /// darkness of error: shadow.

a.     darkness = Heb: the dark; fig. misery, destruction, death, ignorance, sorrow, wickedness.

3.    cleanse = Gk: to cleanse: cleans, purges, purifies. 

 

BE NOT DECEIVED ABOUT HIS WARNING

(1 John 1:8-10) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive [1] ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word [Gk: logos] [seed] is not in us.

1.    deceive = Gk: to roam (from safety, truth, or virtue): go astray, err, (be) seduced, wander, be out of the way /// straying from orthodoxy or piety: delusion, error.

 

(Luke 21:8,9) And he [Jesus Christ] said, Take heed [Gk: beware] that ye be not deceived: for many [false prophets] shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ [Gk: anointed]; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. But when ye shall hear of wars [(plural)] and commotions [Gk: instability, disorder: confusion, tumult], be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.

1.    (2 Tim 3:12,13) Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

2.    (James 1:21,22) Wherefore lay apart [from yourself] all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted [Gk: implanted /// to puff or blow, germinate] word, which is able to save your souls. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

 

Amen
