BELIEVE

Hebrews 4:11 

“Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.”

King James Version (KJV)



Hebrews 4:12

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

King James Version (KJV)


In accordance with Hebrews 4:11 and 12 I submit the following study on the Word BELIEVE and truly what this word means in the full context of the DOCTRINE of SALVATION and how much this one WORD is so misunderstood.


 Background;


Essential Background Study:

















What inspired this Blog were 3 powerful experiences I've had recently while in fellowship with the Brethren and all happened in a sequence of rather rapid succession as follows:

1.  It all began when a Brother shared the video about 'what happened to Don the YouTube minister who fell away from Grace and is now preaching another Gospel.  A HYPER GRACE false teacher mis applied the Kingdom Parable of the Sower of Mathew 13 - specifically the scripture in Luke 8:13 which uses the word BELIEVE and then the false teacher made a false case that this fallen away soul was only backsliding and but still "had to be" saved.

This inspired this work:



CASE STUDY OF FRUIT INSPECTION - What about Don?

Note: I will go through an excerpt of this extensive Study in NOTES below:

2. When I completed the study I had another Brother send comments that seemed to indicate that he did NOT believe in ETERNAL SECURITY or the OSAS. But with some of the wording he used it seemed he did believe in Eternal Security. He later confirmed this by stating he DID BELIEVE in our Eternal Security but finds a huge disconnect in understanding that among the Brethren.

3.  While I was preparing a study on the WORD BELIEVE which is really at the root of this misunderstanding - I had another Brother send me an email that questioned -

 PRESUMPTIOUSLY -

my experience in suffering for Jesus Christ for my Faith.   

I wrote him this email and Blogged it here:  While I was preparing this Blog of my personal Testimony in the Kingdom and Patience of Jesus Christ, a TREMENDOUS LIGHT TURNED ON for my understanding that is directly related to a fuller understanding of the word BELIEVE and this hereby is the title and subject of this study.






Believe:


"Most importantly we have to understand that scriptures do not contradict as you know. The false teachers will cherry pick a word like BELIEVE as noted in Luke and make this their centerpiece. We have to carefully harmonize all 3 scriptures and ask why LUKE used the word BELIEVE whereas Matthew and Mark did not..

This is PARAMOUNT to understand FULLY this word believe in the CONTEXT of SALVATION.

The Gospel is ONLY found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJB:

IF WE BELIEVE CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES, WAS BURIED, AND ROSE AGAIN THE THIRD DAY ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES, WE ARE SAVED.

BELIEF ALONE

FOR BY GRACE WE ARE SAVED AND NOT OF WORKS.

In my Case study I go over all the link studies to the GOSPEL and that most do NOT know the Gospel and most do not understand the MYSTERY given to Paul from Jesus Christ. It is all in the study links.

Too many have fallen into the trap of "private interpretation", as referenced in Brother Cameron's study of Scripture and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.





The cherry picking of single words out of parables without harmonization using sound doctrine causes great error.

 "Believe."

And quote how this word is so misleading if misunderstood by not using the entire word of God.

Believe is a very big word in the Bible.

Someone can say they believe with their lips but without the Spirit of Christ in them they will depart from the Faith.

This exchange here this morning will be the title of my next Blog. "Believe."

And quote how this word is so misleading if misunderstood by not using the entire word of God.

Believe is a very big word in the Bible.

Someone can say they believe with their lips but without the Spirit of Christ in them they will depart from the Faith.

These false teachers do not teach that but rather the false conversion of saying they're sorry for their sins ( again without the Holy Spirit leading to Godly sorrow that worketh unto repentance) again it's vanity.


2 Corinthians 7:10

“For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.”

King James Version (KJV)


FALSE CONVERSTIONS:


Matthew 7:13 

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

King James Version (KJV)


Matthew 7:14

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

King James Version (KJV)


Matthew 7:21

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

King James Version (KJV)


Matthew 7:22

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

King James Version (KJV)


Matthew 7:23

And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

King James Version (KJV)


Disclaimer:  We understand that God uses even the wicked for his purposes. Yes of course, there have been true conversations at these massive revivals or one on one.  But please understand how important knowledge of God's word is and how we perish for lack of knowledge.


See my studies on Billy Graham and his friends by Dr Burns whereby Graham had an alliance with the Catholic Church to make sure that attendees that came to his altar call would be turned over to their church if they stated no religious preference. 



They tell the new convert SAY YOU REPENT FROM YOUR SINS AND NOW BELIEVE JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS! 🙄


They say all the words - sometimes they're told CONFESS JESUS or GET BAPTISED ETC. ETC.  I BELIEVE...

But without the GODLY SORROW worketh repentance ...


They can't see they need a Savior
It all happens by the Holy Spirit that calls us convicts us of our need for a Savior
Yes false teachers HANG THEIR DOCTRINE ON ONE WORD "BELIEVE" cherry picked and then never compare with other scriptures or harmonize it properly. This is proven in my study:




Romans 10:9 does not harmonize with 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJB but it certainly does for the Tribulation Saints - including the Jewish Remanent found in Acts 2:21 and Joel 2:32 KJB.  

However, we can see a major clue here that if someone confesses with their mouth anything related to their SALVATION WITHOUT .... REPEAT WITHOUT TRULY HAVING THE HOLY SPIRIT WITHIN THEM it is ONLY WORDS AND THEY WILL DIE AND WITHER AND WALK AWAY FROM THE FAITH - FALL FROM GRACE just as in the KINGDOM PARABLES.

WHY?  It was their Faith and NOT the FAITH OF Jesus Christ. Please know and understand the essential paramount importance of the preposition OF.  In my studies in Detail about how perverted Bibles preach another Gospel.  Looking at Galatians 2:16, 2:20.





1 John 4:2-3 (KJV): "Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world."

Romans 10:9 (KJV): "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."

Terminology:

BELIEVE: Oxford English Dictionary page 196 in the context of the GOSPEL = To give Credence and Accept as TRUE.  In the strictest terms the word Credence here comes from the Latin which means a very deep rooted (of intuitively KNOWING something) KNOWLEDGE and to KNOW.



To Know: 



To know in the Oxford English Dictionary on page 1550 in the Context here means: Taken - apprehended by the MIND as EXISTING AS FACT of what has been REVEALED.

That's why for example in Spanish we have 2 distinct words for the Verb "To Know" One is a superficial work of the mind SOUL.  CONOCER (conscious exercise).  Whereas the DEEPER meaning of a SPIRITUAL profound nature is found in the word SABER .  This word SABER is closely linked with WISDOM - meaning something more profound that man.


It is here we must stop and very carefully and fully comprehend this study of how THE MIND (SOUL) only UNDERSTANDS what the SPIRIT KNOWS.  







Discipleship - Sanctification:

John 4:23

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.






SEE MY STUDY ON THE OVERCOMER's CROWN and other Crowns:







Patience: 





Greek Strongs G5281 Faith and Piety during Pain and Suffering.  Oxford English Dictionary page 2098. Endure Suffering and pain, of Trouble or EVIL with Calmness or Composure. 

This can ONLY be by the PATIENCE of Jesus Christ Just like the FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST.  Listen we are incapable of suffering the shame and pain of the CROSS. Unless WE ARE TRULY NEW CREATURES - BORN AGAIN.  

OTHERWISE WE WOULD BE LIKE THE KINGDOM PARABLES AND DIE - FALL OUT OF GRACE.

PLEASE READ MY TESTIMONY

PLEASE GO TO MY STUDY TO UNDERSTAND WHY PAUL TURNED THE YOUNG MAN COMMITTING SIN WITH HIS MOTHER. PLEASE UNDERSTAND WHY JOHN WROTE IN 1 JOHN 2:19  THEY WENT OUT FROM AMONG US BECAUSE THEY WERE NEVER OF US. UNDERSTAND THAT THE BELIEF OF THE PARABLE IN LUKE 8:13 WAS FAKE - SUPERFICIAL WITHOUT THE ROOT = JESUS CHRIST.



1 John 2:19, which says:

"They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us."

 Discipline: 


Oxford English Dictionary page 741 in Context:

A Trained condition. Trained from punishment and lesson. conditioning military applications of drill and athletic training for the games.  See Paul's references to Good Soldier and As an Athlete in training. 

 1 Corinthians 9:25-27:

"And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway."


 2 Timothy 2:3-4:

"Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier."


As a verb definitely related to a punishment under tutoring.

So many scriptures:  


"For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth" (Hebrews 12:6).



Temperance: 



DISCIPLINE in the Context of an athlete preparing themselves for the games


HOWEVER, ... in a larger, more comprehensive sense we see in CONTEXT of this AMAZING CROWN which is INCORRUPTABLE 

This is supernatural related to inheritance


which brings us to the definition 



Self Government


That is UNDER RULE*


Of The Lord Jesus Christ; i.e., possessing the Spirit of Christ.

Romans 8:9



This requires POWER of the Lord beyond our own feeble ability


The Hebrew equivalent 

is


H8592



Strength Power


To Be MIGHTY


Psalms 68:35

“O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.”

King James Version (KJV)



Essential Studies:


We Saints will literally rule with Jesus Christ

Why we need to know that God Records Memorials





Colossians 3:24 from the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible:

"Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ."

Since I’ve studied Inheriting the Kingdom at length, it seems Paul may be referring to the INCORRUPTIBLE CROWN which many refer to as the “overcomers crown” which is for extraordinary service and suffering for that service. This goes beyond the Crown of Life which is for all who are SAVED and enter into the Kingdom of God. See Study Links below. temp 


 Oxford English Dictionary page 324,5 Self Governance - Control - Discipline - Moderated - Dispassionate




Moderated: 


Verb, Oxford English Dictionary page 1828 To Exercise an influence over;  Overrule; RULE.  To Be RULED. 


My comment:  This is someone who is RULED by the SPIRIT OF CHRIST and BORN AGAIN who has been CRUCIFED with CHRIST and lives by the FAITH OF the Son of God who loved them and who gave himself for them... Read and study Galatians 2:16, 2:20, Hebrews 4:12 , Ephesians 6:17 KJB ...


This can only happen after we are saved when our SOUL is SPLIT Out and separated by the HOLY SPIRIT.


This can only be The Saint who graciously accepts with JOY unspeakable IN ALL that comes in the furnace of affliction. 


The Saints are the PURCHASED POSSESSION IN THE FURNACE OF AFFLICTION The Children of Darkness are THRIVING


Galatians 2:16

“Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.”


Galatians 2:20

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”

King James Version (KJV)


Ephesians 6:17

“And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:”

King James Version (KJV)



Hebrews 4:12

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”


Dispassionate:  


This is someone who has been to the CROSS and IS DEAD!


In the Context of this study We see Discipline Oxford English Dictionary page 3244,5:  Self Control Restraint under self-government that is MODERATED.  DISPASSIONATE. Oxford English Dictionary page 757: Free from the passion of feelings or strong emotion (SOUL function).  Read Hebrews 4:12,  Galatians 2:16, 20, Romans 8:9 KJB.




The false prophet (using God’s word) teacher is a wolf because they are incorrectly building a false narrative of HYPER GRACE to say that the Kingdom Parables are identifying saved persons who have backslidden, but what this false teacher is doing by using Luke 8:13 is saying a LOST PERSON can say they BELIEVE or even BELIEVE they BELIEVE BUT WITHOUT THE TRUE GODLY SORROW THAT WORKETH REPENTANCE WORKS ON THEIR HEART AND THEY HAVE JESUS CHRIST THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST IN THEM THEY ARE NONE OF HIS. ROMANS 8:9, 14, 17.



This is the only way for God’s word to fall into GOOD SOIL and BRING FORTH 100 FOLD.


See my studies on the Math of the Kingdom Parables:


Doing the Math on The Kingdom Parable of The Sower Matthew 13


My commentary on the perverse teaching of Luke 8:13:


FOCUS ON 3 WORDS:


SEED = God’s WORD  - Know Doctrine in the Final Authority of the King James Bible and study it.


ROCK =  HARD HEART.  ROCK - Luke 8:13; STONY PLACES  - Matthew 13:5 KJB =  a Hardened HEART  Note also in Matthew 13:5,6 Shallow Soil is mentioned which means depth that is comprehended is only man’s vain knowledge. The unregenerate mind verses the spiritual depth.  The SPIRIT KNOWS the SOUL understands what the Spirit knows. See an essential study on understanding SOUL and Spirit.


CASE STUDY of when the CARNAL MIND OVERRIDES SCRIPTURE


The King James Bible gets Really Real about "Things which are NOT Seen"


Why does the King James Bible use and distinguish Holy Ghost and Holy Spirit? #Doctrine Matters


God will never allow His children to be accepted by this world



The main focus after one truly understands the background of the 8 Kingdom Parables in my study is now we will focus on the SEED  (God’s word) that fell on STONY GROUND (the condition of the human heart that is HARD HEARTED See Pharaoh of Egypt and a multitude of study that I will not go into here for the sake of time)  BUT BOTTOM LINE A HARD HEARTH IS NOT A HEART that is BROKEN AND CONTRITE that leads to repentance GODLY SORROW that can ONLY COME BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY GHOST.


ROOT = Jesus Christ


Here is the study on Root:


 ROOT in the King James Bible  43 times



Strong's Concordance 1 - 20 references


Strong's Concordance 21-40


Strong's Concordance 40-43



All references to root are spiritual in nature. According to the context All point to Jesus Christ and a few to Satan for example:


 1 Tim 6:10

...love of money is the root of all evil: 


Times the word ROOT refer specifically and directly to Jesus Christ



 Rom 11:16

...lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

4491 

 Rom 11:17

...with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive...

4491 

 Rom 11:18

...if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

4491 

 Rom 15:12

...saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that...



 Rev 5:5

...of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and...

*

 Rev 22:16

...the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David,...




First MENTION:


Sinning willfully 

“Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;”—Deuteronomy 29:18


Hebrews Strongs  H8328 Deep bottom, (FOUNDATION). 8330, 8332.


Ancient Hebrew Lexicon:  2883  HEEL.

 To take root in soil Bottom Deep.  Heel

Noted in AHL that the opposite of root is unroot which means to pull out - banishment. 


Heel in scripture refers directly to JESUS CHRIST.



While the specific connection between the "heel" and Jesus Christ in Genesis 3:15 isn't directly spelled out in other scriptures, several passages in the New Testament support the interpretation of Jesus as the one who fulfills the prophecy. Here are some relevant KJV scriptures that align with this interpretation:

  1. Romans 16:20: "And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen."

    • This verse refers to the ultimate defeat of Satan, echoing the promise in Genesis 3:15.

  2. Hebrews 2:14: "Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;"

    • This verse speaks of Jesus' mission to destroy the devil's power, aligning with the imagery of bruising the serpent's head.

  3. 1 John 3:8: "He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil."

    • This verse emphasizes that the purpose of Jesus' coming was to destroy the works of the devil.

  4. John 12:31-33: "Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die."

    • Here, Jesus speaks of His crucifixion, which would lead to the defeat of the "prince of this world" (understood as Satan).

These verses provide a broader biblical context for interpreting the "heel" in Genesis 3:15 as a reference to Jesus Christ and His ultimate victory over Satan.



Romans 7:24

“O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?”

King James Version (KJV)


Romans 7:25

“I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.”


King James Version (KJV)

Romans 8:1

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”

Romans 8:9

“But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.”

King James Version (KJV)

Romans 8:14

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”

King James Version (KJV)

Romans 8:16

“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:”

King James Version (KJV)



Romans 8:34

“Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.”

King James Version (KJV)
