This week’s blog is a continuation from last week’s blog concerning the conversation my brother (deceased) and I had some 40 years ago. The subject of the conversation was ’How can a person believe in God but not his Son, Jesus Christ.‘ You see, my brother only believed in God but refused to accept Jesus Christ as his personal savior. I, on the other hand, believe God sent his Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to be an ultimate capitulation for mankind’s sins and to unite humanity back to God.

As stated in Part 1, my brother thoroughly humiliated me and sent me fleeing from the room in tears. But much later, after much prayer and supplication, the Holy Spirit began to minister to me through God’s holy scriptures. So let’s continue discovering just how the Holy Spirit comforted me as I wrestled with my dilemma.

And God said to the Apostle Paul, His prisoner… (Column 1.)

And God said to me, His prisoner…(Column 2.)

12. For the perfecting of the saints for work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:	Then he tells what the results should be once the gift is shared. Perfecting saints, furthering the ministry work, glorifying the Body of Christ. Don’t forget the sharing of the gifts is to be done in peace, so that the recipient receives in peace and leaves in peace. They don’t have to agree, but if they do disagree, than disagree in love.
13. Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the fulness of Christ. 14. That we henceforth be no more children tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15. But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things which is the head, even Christ.	Suppose every profession decided to share at the same time in the world so that every human being was receiving from someone the teaching of the “one faith, one baptism, etc., and we all heard and received and even though some disagreed, the end result was peaceful and respectful… Then verse 13 would be manifested and in that one hour of sharing, because of the “perfect” end results we would no longer be children, but on our way to mature adults…unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ. Showing no hate because there was no angry disagreement, but a sense of respect and love for one another… and the more we perfect this attitude, the more Godlike we become and God is the Head of all this.
16. From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplies, accord- ing to the effectual working in the measure of every part maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.	If you haven’t followed me down to verse 15, don’t even try verse 16…forget it. If you’ve been sitting there doubting, countering, repeat- ing to yourself…”she doesn’t know what she is talking about.” Than the “oneness” is not in you and you have blocked this one great hour of sharing. If your attitude has been “I don’t quite understand so I’m going to go to God for myself…than that’s O.K., everything is golden. So now we can enter into Verse 16. (This goes for me as well.) If any part of your body is not working, then the Head sends out less supplies for it. When the body begins to work, the Head supplies its needs. Christians believe that all of this “order” comes from the Godhead. God’s knowledge (free gift) is given to each of us.

Part 3 will be presented next Friday

Part 3 will continue to show you how God revealed it is impossible to only believe in him and not his Son, Jesus Christ.
