This is the final blog post I will be publishing concerning the subject on “God alone”, my brother and I had some 40 years ago. You will recall in Part 1, I shared a personal discussion (did I say ‘heated’ discussion?) we had on a deep theological disagreement on the personage of Jesus Christ. Since my brother had recently died with a firm belief that God alone would receive him into heaven without his having to confess Christ Jesus as his personal Savior. At the time of our disagreement, I was trying to convert him to Christianity and the acceptance of the Son of God as a propitiation for mankind’s sins.

I have since learned that…”So then neither is he that planted any thing, neither he that watered; but God that giveth the increase. Now he that planted and he that watered are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.” 1 Corinthians 3:6-9 KJV

So, now, let’s come to the conclusion of the matter:

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

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

25. Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor; for we are members one of another. 26. Be ye angry, and sin not; let not the sun go down upon your wrath: 27. Neither give place to the devil. 28. Let him that stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needs. 29. Let no corrupt communi- cation proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edify- ing that it may minister grace unto the hearers. 30. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 31. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice; 32. And be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

Verses 25 through 32 instructs you on how to live in the Spirit of God. Read them and weep. (Thank you God (Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ) for my lesson. May I soon have an opportunity to do as the Word says and share. Love, From Me, Your servant and blogger.

• To Mary, wife of Joseph, we find this statement by an Angel: Luke 1:30-35 provides a clarifying identification: Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus.“
• At Jesus’ baptism by John the Baptist we read: …suddenly the heavens were opened to him and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him.  And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, who I love. I am very pleased with him.” (Matthew 3:16-17 – See also Mark 1:10-11; Luke 3:21-22.)
• And on the mountain where Jesus was transfigured we read: …suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud a voice said, “This is my Son, who I love. I am very pleased with him. Listen to him!”  (Matthew 17:1-8 – See also Mark 9:2-8; Luke 9:28-36.)
