< Chapter 4 | INDEX | Chapter 6 >
Next let us look at the mystery of “God the HOLY SPIRIT’ – according to the dogmas of man! *** YET IN THE BIBLE IT IS NOT TO BE FOUND! Observe the above words in quotation, then spend the rest of your life – if you wish – to search for them IN GOD’S WORD! THEY ARE MAN’s INVENTION! (Yes, read that again, for, I mean what I say, and I challenge its refutation!)
In numerous passages we are told about the ‘Holy Spirit, but MAN HAS PREFIXED ‘God’! But perchance you prefer man’s authority. If so, then SWIM in the misty sea of mortal’s creation!
In Abraham’s household was a steward: Eliezer by name. It means “My God IS HELP”. We read about him in Gen 15:2, andlater in the 24th chapter we see where his servant Eliezer the steward was sent to get a wife for Isaac. This answers beautifully -in type – to the mission of the Holy Spirit to gather out of the world a bride for Christ.
Carefully observe the meaning of Eliezer, “My God is Help”. Here LIMITATION is clearly implied, which in itself precludes God! But you will counter: it was merely the name of man. True! Yet THUS arranged by God to correctly represent the office of His own Functionary as CHIEF of the Angelic lights ministering to man. He is referred to as “the Angel of the Lord”, and by Psalmist as “The Holy Spirit”. Jesus termed him the ‘Comforter’. In that name we see again reflected the steward-servant Eliezer who was A HELP FROM GOD, even as Eliezer was a HELP unto Abraham and Isaac. It was He who appeared -unto Hagar in the wilderness (Gen 16:7), and it was He of whom Yahweh said:
“Behold, I send an Angel (‘messenger’) before you to keep you in the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. Beware of him and OBEY his voice; provoke him not, FOR HE WILL NOT PARDON YOUR TRANSGRESSIONS; for, my name (is) in him” Ex 23:20,21
First observe: “for MY NAME IS IN HIM”. Then look to 1 Kings 8:29; 9:3; 11:36 and also Deut. 12:5, 21 where you will find precisely the same wording by Yahweh that He would “place His name there”, that is, IN THE TEMPLE. We may safely assume that God did. And the people thought of the temple as the Lord’s dwelling place among them, yet they knew that He was not there FACTUALLY. Time and again did they see His glory DESCEND to meet with Moses! But HIS NAME was there; i.e. the VIBRATION of His Being or NATURE. SIMILARLY did Yahweh speak to Moses that His NAME was in the ‘angel’. That is, NOT Yahweh factually, but only His NAME-vibration enshrined within the ‘angel’ or messenger-servant. (This is a point of TREMENDOUS importance that you do well to remember.)
Now bare in mind what Yahweh warned Moses about the Angel NOT FORGIVING THEIR TRANSGRESSIONS, then contrast the words of Yahweh-Jesus when He said:
” Whosoever speaks a word against the Son of man it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be for- given him in this era, neither in the age impending” Mat 26-12:31-32
WEIGH those words carefully and see how utterly ridiculous they become IF we postulate that the ‘Holy Spirit’ IS ‘GOD’! It would be similar to a man saying to another: “If you curse my right foot or hand I will forgive you; but if you ever speak against my left foot or hand, I SHALL NEVER FORGIVE YOU! How stupid! Yet such are the postulations by our ‘theologians’!
WHY will not the Holy Spirit forgive blasphemies against him? (Steel yourself for the shock) HE HAS NOT THE POWER! THAT power belongs to God! The Holy Spirit IS NOT ‘GOD’!
But that you may know that the Son of man has POWER on earth to forgive sins —” Mark 2:10
Yes, beloved, to forgive sins calls for POWER! We can say to an offender: I forgive you. It is just that simple. But NOT SO WITH GOD! SIN is more than imaginary: for, by transgressing the Divine Love -law, A VIBRATION is set in motion which is of a destructive and degenerating power: IT IS DISCORD within the Cosmos. To FORGIVE sin calls for the POWER to stop, annul or TRANSMUTE that discordant and destructive vibration. And some forms of sin call for much more than that; sometimes to the REcreating of conditions and opportunities, and maybe to the restoration of life itself at times. It calls for the POWER of cutting into that which man has labeled “Cause and effect”. It calls for the POWER of our Creator. Therefore said Jesus to the Jews:
** For THAT sin there is no forgiveness in this eon or the one
** impending. That is, this great Angelic Light in the stew-
** ardship-service of Father and Son, HAS AS YET NOT AT-
** TAINED TO THE POWER to draw within himself the flow
** of disintegrating vibrations caused by ‘sin’, and to annul
** its train of consequences; neither to give life again where
** and when needed. By what process of reasoning could we
** expect such staggering power in the hands of a ‘servant’?
(Yes, ponder that much…. )
“MY NAME (is) in him”! He – the Holy Spirit – has entered into that state of VIBRATIONAL GLORY whereby Yahweh’ s name in its MANIFEST REALITY has become like a consuming fire within him. “OBEY HIS VOICE”! OBEDIENCE is the keynote to his being. He KNOWS the Father’s will, and to its minutest fulfillment is his incessantly bent. That is his Father’s NAME (vibration) within him . He does not FORGIVE – because he LACKS THE POWER! Yet in the second eon impending, it may be that he attains the POWER to forgive, or annul transgression. But as yet HE HAS NOT ENTERED INTO THE FULNESS OF THE creator’s power:
“I have blotted out as a thick cloud your transgressions, and, as a cloud, your SINS ‘RETURN UNTO ME; for I HAVE REDEEMED YOU” Isa 44:22
Here Yahweh declared His POWER to annul (the consequences of Jacob-Israel’s sins. “As a thick cloud they returned unto Him,” and as such “He blotted it out.”
RECOGNIZE that Yahweh is TRUE; He is HONEST: He STATES THE FACTS! The sins of Israel like a thick cloud returned to Him, and He blotted them out. That is, He gathered those disintegrating vibrations (fully capable of undoing Israel) within the periphery of His consuming Spirit that they should be no more. And what had already gone amiss (on the earth plane) HE WAS ABLE AND WILLING TO RECTIFY. Think not that ‘sin’ is a minor thing! It calls for the power of God Almighty to handle it! THAT has not the ‘Holy Spirit’ – who is the steward and messenger for ” Father and Son”.
The Yahweh-Savior said of the ‘Comforter’: “he shall take of mine and shall show it unto you.” But for Himself He said: “ALL that the Father has is mine (John 16:15) (Ponder that long enough to perceive its TREMENDOUS CONTRAST!) Could He (Yahweh -Jesus) divide Himself into segments or spheres of ownership, so that ALL belonged to one portion but not to the other portion (H. S.)7 (Just how stupid can theologians be?)
Perhaps here it would be in place to clarify John 14:17; “for he dwells with you and shall be IN you.”
Here, the Jesus ONLY people find a prop for their pet theory. Yet this He spoke of the Holy Spirit that did dwell among them BY VIRTUE OF JESUS’ PRESENCE. Clearly did John the Baptist declare that he saw “the Spirit descending on Jesus and remaining on Him.” (see John 1:33). Even as other mortals have ‘ministering spirits’, so did Jesus receive the individual guidance and supervision of “the Angel of God” – which REMAINED on Him.
Therefore was the same SPIRIT ‘dwelling with’ the disciples while Jesus was with them. Had He meant it as they aver, He would not have hesitated to say: ” I dwell with you and shall be in you.” But NO! Jesus was HONEST: HE SPOKE THE TRUTH!
Consider also the full connotation of the word ‘messenger’, (rendered ‘angel’ in the A V). A messenger is one who carries a message FOR. ANOTHER: it implies a SERVANT-relationship. Only by dishonoring our God-given intelligence AND OUR GOD, can we postulate that one portion or segment of God is IN SERVICE to the balance of His Being! (Keep your feet on the ground!) IF we say that our hands SERVE the rest of the body, then equally does the balance of the body SERVE THE HANDS. Therefore, there is no such thing as one portion of our body being A SERVANT to the rest, for, there is mutual and even interchange And WE are IN HIS IMAGE!
Man-indoctrinated parrots purport to show that the Holy Spirit is ‘almighty’ and synonymous with the Creator. ALL such claims lack Scripture backing, and do violence to reason and common sense. For instance, a Bible encyclopedia, at hand refers to Luke 1:35-37 and Rom 15:19 to back up the contention that Scripture teaches the Holy Spirit to be ‘Omnipotent’ (possessing ALL POWER). To allege that Rom 15:19 teaches THAT is but an instance of how hard they are driven to find even the shadow of Scriptural support. It speaks of ‘power’ but with NO allusion to ALL power. And in Luke 1:35-37 we see again how words must be juggled in a stupid attempt to give a prop to man-invented dogma. Verse 35 tells us that the “power of the Highest should overshadow Mary”, then in v 37 we are told that “with God NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE.”
Manifestly, the HOLY SPIRIT as THE SERVANT of God was directly invested by God Almighty WTTH THE REQUIRED POWER TO MEET THE ASSIGNMENT. But to make the mental hurdle of propounding that the ‘Spirit’ of v 35 is synonymous with ‘God’ of v 37, is but to declare our willful asininity. Did not Jesus say, “ALL power is given unto me in Heaven and on earth”? And did He not also say “I give unto you POWER to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all power of the enemy” (Matthew 28:18; Luke 10: 19). In the first instance we see ALL power, while in the second instance only ‘power’. And therein is A TREMENDOUS DIFFERENCE! Even after the transfiguration He had to cast out a devil where the disciples had utterly failed! Had they received ALL power? Hardly! Did they possess the power to command the sun to hide its face while they rolled up the heavens as a scroll and brought a new creation into being? Not by a vast margin! Theirs was only ‘power’ in contrast to ‘ALL power’ that Jesus received and wielded at His spoken word! Similarly in Luke 1:35-37 the ‘Spirit’ was commissioned to draw on God’s power sufficiently for the assignment received. Yet THAT is far from being ALL-POWERFUL; neither does it imply that any more so than the power Jesus gave to His disciples. The power was LIMITED in either instance. Neither is v 37 that speaks of God’s omnipotence a postulation that the Holy Spirit is God.
Let us conjure up a parallel expression in type: Eliezer had been sent to fetch a wife for Isaac. He was the SERVANT in the house of Abram-Isaac. Camels and servants were at his command. He was the steward and could take along such wealth as he saw fit. So let us SUPPOSE that he had said to Rebekah:
“The SERVANT is come unto you in the authority (power) of the highest (Abram = the High father). I bedeck you with jewels and lay wealth at your feet, for, Isaac has vast wealth and can do whatsoever he pleases.”
Carefully study this and you will observe that its basic structure is in harmony with the passage in Luke. Now I ask you in plain words; Does the above declare that the servant (Spirit) is to be identified with either Abram or Isaac? And does it declare that the SERVANT can do whatsoever he pleases? And does it imply that the SERVANT has vast wealth? IF you are in your right mind you will realize that the answer to all these questions is an emphatic NO. The SERVANT in the opening (portraying the HOLY SPIRIT) does by no stretch of the imagination justify our claiming that he is THE Isaac (portraying God) of the closing passage. Neither that the vast wealth of Isaac’s is the wealth of the servant. Nor that the power which Isaac’s wealth can command, is the power of the servant. Yet ALL of these absurdities does a long f rocked caste proclaim with ALLEGED AUTHORITY, while you and I are expected to tremble before their august persons, meekly accepting in FAITH their puerile pronouncements!
Fabrications from the darkest pit – OUT! Dogmas hollow with inanity – AWAY! Deny to all mortals the right to ‘interpret’ Scripture. And whosoever assays to ‘teach’ you in the Word of God, request that he produce the Divine Credential – which is his authority to TEACH. Whoever cannot produce that has not been commissioned by God, for “God changes not’. At all previous times He has amply provided His especially chosen and commissioned TO DEMONSTRATE THEIR DIVINE CREDENTIAL! Wherefore, be not deceived!
I call you to stand on your feet as A CHILD OF THE INEFFABLE LIGHT, repudiating the alleged authority of power-mad cliques who seek the possession of your soul to constitute their GOOSE to lay the golden eggs. Christ our Lord commanded us to SEARCH THE SCRIPTURE. And having done so, “JUDGE FOR YOURSELF WHAT IS RIGHT”.
The age of the UNlearned dithering before his master or scribe, is but a spectral shadow of man’s intellectual infancy. But THIS is the day of LIGHT!
HEAR then His Word for the Alpha has spoken. Rejoice in His Truth for the Omega has declared it; yes, even as a loving, all-wise father speaking to his wee tots in the swaddling clothes of spiritual understanding. He has not used ‘high-brow’ language: His expressions are for the little ones that they might find riches; that “out of the mouth of babes might come praise”. His language is simple without ambiguity, asking only that we DISCERN HIS WORDS (“How do you read it?”). And that discerning of His words calls for no special talent, but merely an understanding of the words used, PLUS a remembrance of all His other statement bearing on the subject. And to this should be added: PLUS an UNbiased mind, free from the lurking monsters of lurid deception begotten in the horror of night when human souls were prey for the avaricious and unscrupulous.
Child of the Morning, ROUSE! Hark! ’tis messengers of JOY – Daybreak declaring. (Behold His Light-streamers a-spreading from sea to sea. Dark fuming smogs thru the ages gathered: lifting, dispelled by the Light of His Spirit. HEAR, then, beswaddled child of His Love-Light: the morning is breaking – in symphony clear; Truth-light’s effulgence dispelling the ageless mists! ROUSE has He bidden – to channel His White Light, decreed to FILL THE EARTH as waters do our sea.
And THAT shall it also do for YOU – and humanity as soon as dogmas are given the boot, and His Light turned on self -styled illuminati to show them up for the unthinking parrots they be, “THE THREE WHICH BEAR WITNESS IN HEAVEN”: I John 5:7
Lest some should stumble over this passage, a few words here will clear the air. In speaking of the Holy Spirit Jesus said: “—he shall testify of me” – John 15:26. Therefore it may be stated correctly “three bear record in heaven”. Yet THAT fact does not declare him ‘God’. (In the ” Book of Revelation” we are told of different ‘angels’ seen right in the very TEMPLE, but that does not constitute them ‘God’. Furthermore we should not overlook what seems to be the consensus of opinion (among scholars) that the said passage is AN INTERPOLATION by the copywriter, not being found in the oldest mss. But whether the passage is ‘inspired’ or otherwise, we know that his messenger-capacity is one of “TESTIFYING UNTO THE TRUTH” – be that on earth or in heaven.
