Masking the Facts

Author, Brother B.

Several years ago it was part of my job to be involved with the control of Tuberculosis within the State of California. Over the course of my job, I have given literally thousands of tests for TB. In addition the State sent me on several occasions for advanced training at the Francis J. Curry National Tuberculosis Center in San Francisco. While there we learned that TB is caused by a tiny bacteria and that an infected person can cough it out and transmit it to an uninfected person by having the victim simply breath in the same air they breath out.

Notes for chapter 1

  • What is meant by the seven spirits?
      • Please find the information more fully at the RwD site (search Seven Spirits)

An Encouragement to Mothers

You are amazing.

You’ve been there through pain and joy, heartache and love for your children.

You’ve watched them from the first kicks in your belly to being brought forth on that beloved day of their birth!

You fed them and changed them, you clothed them and rocked them…

You put bandaids on their knees and elbows, and sang them to sleep.

You’ve prepared thousands of meals, helped them with salting their food, and cleaning up after them to show them how they too can lead a life that will be helpful to others.

You’ve prayed for and with your children, have brought them with concern and joy to your ascended Lord, and have watched them so many times just saying, “wow…”

You’ve been patient, kind, longsuffering, yet stern when necessary. None of us have done it perfectly, but God has blessed you […]

Giving God His Proper Place – Parts 1-2

PDF Notes

The first 19 years as a Christian (working since 2000 as a pastor), one of the things I came to do was to exalt a false Christ in the place of His Father. Since 2015, I’ve come to understand that we would be completely without hope were it not for the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Knowing the Bible describes worship of the Father and Son, we should not replace the worship of the Father with worshipping the Son, as I had been led to do.

God the Father:

      • Gave His Son all power: (Matthew 28:18)
      • Gave His Spirit to His Son: (John 3:34)
      • […]

Cities; Get Out!

Here are a few verses from the Old Testament. There are 1318 times the word city(ies) is used. I’ve skipped MOST of the verses, so please study this subject more for yourselves.

Babel

Genesis 11:4-5 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, […]

Is Jesus God Almighty?

Is Jesus Almighty God?

A question I’ve received often by many sincere, truth-seeking individuals is: Is Jesus the Almighty God spoken of in the Bible? The short answer, I tell them, is no. Of course, there are some difficult passages with which to wrestle, so in this brief article, I intend to tackle this matter and, hopefully, provide the reader a definitive answer that is easily understood and easy to explain. However, to answer this question with biblical soundness, we must answer a couple of other questions, first. So, let’s begin this study in God’s word by asking what is probably the simplest […]

Pestilence

PDF Notes

The Hebrew and Greek words “pestilence,” in their first uses, are found and considered below:

(Link for “Be Anxious for Nothing.”)

Exodus 5:3 And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days’ journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.

Be Anxious for Nothing

PDF Notes

The words in bold (other than the Bible verses) are the Greek word similar to our word anxious, or worry.

Matthew 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly […]

Don’t Forget: What is Essential for Us to Remember – Christina Hilton

This school report was done by Christina Hilton based on the video at the bottom of this article:

According to the Bible we all have a spirit and God also has a Spirit, which we most often call the Holy Spirit. We are made in God’s image, but most people would say that our spirit and God’s Spirit are completely different. When our spirit leaves us, we are dead Ecclesiastes 9:6. Originally, when God created man, He breathed into Adam’s nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul. A body plus the breath equals a living soul, if our breath or spirit leaves us, we are just a dead body and that breath (spirit) goes back to God. Is God different? Can He separate from His Spirit? When Jesus […]

God the Father “the highest.”

Mark 5:7 [a demon said] What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God?

“I saw that the wings of the angels did not reach above the Father, for that would bring Him too low. I saw that the Father was in the […]

Born Sinful

PDF Notes

General Quotes:

As children of the first Adam, we partake of the dying nature of Adam. But through the imparted life of Christ, man has been given opportunity to win back again the lost gift of life, and to stand in his original position before God, a partaker of the divine nature. “As many as received him,” writes John, “to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” “He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of […]

Exodus 15:18 The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.

Heavenly Intelligences

PDF Notes

Over every man good and evil angels strive. It is the man himself who determines which shall win. I call upon the ministers of Christ to press home upon the understanding of all who come within the reach of their voice, the truth of the ministration of angels. Do not indulge in fanciful speculations. The written Word is our only safety. We must pray as did Daniel, that we may be guarded by heavenly intelligences.—Letter 201, 1899. 1SM 158.1

Divine ministration is needed to give power and efficiency to the church in this […]

Two Great Powers

PDF Notes

When the soul surrenders itself to Christ, a new power takes possession of the new heart. A change is wrought which man can never accomplish for himself. It is a supernatural work, bringing a supernatural element into human nature. The soul that is yielded to Christ becomes His own fortress, which He holds in a revolted world, and He intends that no authority shall be known in it but His own. A soul thus kept in possession by the heavenly agencies is impregnable to the assaults of Satan. But unless we do yield ourselves […]

Power or Control Over Minds

PDF notes

It is expressly stated that Satan works in the children of disobedience, not merely having access to their minds, but working through their influence, conscious and unconscious, to draw others into the same disobedience. If evil angels have such power over the children of men in their disobedience, how much greater power the good angels have over those who are striving to be obedient. When we put our trust in Jesus Christ, working obedience unto righteousness, angels of God work in our hearts unto righteousness.… 1SM 94.1

I was directed to this scripture […]
