"John 4:24 God is a Spirit:" So, God is one Spirit. This Spirit is his body; it is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient; and because of the power attributes of his Spirit body, he is God. To know the details about God, I have two links for you to open and study. Links are: "Who is God?" and "God is one." A soul is a person. Three souls, who are persons, are in the Spirit body of God, and they are the Most High God, God the Word, and the Spirit of God. So, God is three persons in one Spirit. "Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. ... 26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and ... 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." So, God created us in his own image, and in his likeness. That is, God has created our souls exactly as his souls, and so, there is no difference between our souls and the soul of God. And so, when God the Word became man, he was 100% man, because his soul was the same as any human soul and his body was human flesh. So, he became a man, who is same as any man. But, God's Spirit is omnipotent, but our Spirit is only in the likeness of God's Spirit. That is, if God's Spirit is like the fire of the Sun, our Spirit is like the light of a candle. Further, God has created man in four steps and in different times. Man and woman have the same Spirit, which is the holy Spirit; but the souls and body of man and woman are different; and God put them together; then the creation of man and woman was complete. The details of the creation of man and his spirit are in these links: "Creation of Spirit", "Creation of Man." Please notice that God made the soul and Spirit of man directly by his power, without using anything else, just out from the blue. But "Genesis 2:7 says, the LORD God formed (the body of) man from the dust of the ground,..." So, our body will return to dust; and flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, as in 1 Corinthians 15:50; neither it will go to hell. If we have received the holy Spirit, it is born of the Spirit; and if we are led of the Spirit, we will be in heaven; if not we, that is our soul, will be cast into hell. We are born as body with soul, but not with Spirit. And so, we must be born again of the Spirit; that is, we must receive the holy Spirit in us from God. This is not the baptism of the Holy Ghost; baptism is an entirely different phenomenon, and baptism is to do God's ministry.
'Sinners' and 'saved' are two of many puzzle words, among Christians and preachers. Sinning is anything we do against godliness, or it is not obeying the will of God. God will punish sinning people throughout eternity. The true bible meaning of saved is to prevent people from sinning. "Matthew 1:21 ... JESUS ... shall save his people from their sins." God Jesus will give power to sinning people to stop sinning and to be saved from their sins. If they are not sinning anymore, the only thing against them to inherit heaven is their past sins; and so, Jesus Christ will forgive their past sins, as the author of salvation. But most pastors and preachers work for their living, preaching bible as a profession, to worldly congregations, on behalf of Satan rather than for Jesus Christ. So, they skip the part which Jesus Christ will do; that is preventing people from sinning; but preach forgiveness of sins. But Jesus Christ will not forgive as an author of salvation by using his blood, until their sinning is stopped and become past in their life. So, these preachers preach lies. You may study the details in this link: "Washed sins by blood." Satan preach another Jesus for doing this, but he calls him also as Jesus Christ and deceives people. It is in 2 Corinthians 11:2-4. ["2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him."] So, according to these preachers of Satan, sinning people are 'saved' people. It is deception. Almost all churches accept this deception; and it is sad.
["Matthew 9:10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? 12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. 13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."] Jesus Christ says in Matthew 9:10-13, the mission of Jesus is to call sinners to repentance, but not to play tug of war with Pharisees and scribes, who call themselves righteous and godly, as pastors, preachers, and theologians of today. "Luke 15:1 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him. 2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them." When publicans and sinners came to Jesus, Pharisees and scribes, who are like present day pastors and preachers, murmured. They like people to go to churches to give offerings, for rituals and ceremonies, but not for the truth of God, to be repented of their sins and to be saved from their sins. ["7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance... 10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth."] But verses 7&10 say that there is joy in heaven in the presence of God, over a sinner being saved from sins. Jesus Christ taught these through many parables. In Luke 18:9-14, Jesus talked about the prayers of a Pharisee and a publican. ["Luke 18:9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted."] The Pharisee is like our preachers, who are not like sinners; yet God has rejected his pompous, self-boasting, prayer of faith, and accepted the prayer of the repented sinner. 1 Timothy 1:15&16. "15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. 16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting." Apostle Paul was a persecutor of the people of Jesus Christ. But when he was converted, God accepted him as a disciple of Jesus Christ. And he was set as an example of what God will do with any repented sinner. "James 4:8 says, Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded." Preachers say, God will first come to you, but God says, you draw nigh unto him first and so on and then he will draw nigh to you. If you, or any of you in your fellowship is in sins, James 5:19&20 say, "19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; 20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins." We all have committed sins, but we must all be converted from sinning, and it is the key, and it is salvation.
Ephesians 2:1, let us skip the first phrase and read the rest. "1 ..., who were dead in trespasses and sins: 2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others." Sinning people are not saved, because salvation is from sins, since "Matthew 1:21 ... thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins," Jesus saves only his people, from their sins. If they are still in sins, it is proof that they are not saved. But these people in verses 2&3 were sinning previously, but not now; their sinning was past but not at present, and so, they are now saved. This is because of grace. Preachers hide these verses, and say that they are saved just because God is in mercy and in love. ["Ephesians 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."] These pastors and preachers teach bible as crooked attorneys argue a case in favor of the criminal client by twisting the evidence from its context. Here verses 1&5to8 say, that God has lifted those who were sinning, out of their death in sin, raised them to life, because they have faith in God, and made them sit inside the person Jesus Christ, the resurrected Spirit God, in heavenly places, where sin cannot enter. Pastors and preachers will not touch this at all. But they will jump to the next verse. "9 Not of works, lest any man should boast." Preachers say that it is not by our righteousness at all, but as if, it is by our sinning. They are of the devil and are children of Satan. The 'not by the works' in verse 9 refers to, circumcision, rituals, celebrating feasts, and observing ceremonies; it is also in Colossians 2:14. But it is the obedience to God, by their faith in God, as in verse 8. "10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." God pulled us out of death in sin, and made us sit in heavenly places in Jesus Christ, with the purpose unto good works. But preachers always preach against good works, and they will not do good works either. And it is so ordained by God. It is proof that who do good works are saved by God. Those who do not walk in them are not saved, and they are of the devil, including preachers.
Jesus was crucified. Nobody was held accountable and punished. No temple people, priests including high priests, Pharisees, and Scribes, were held accountable or punished by God, for the killing of Jesus. So, they were emboldened by it and continued to do what they were doing. We think that they must have been punished, but it is a mystery. Jesus was crucified and killed in a very cruel humiliating way for the whole world to see. But God raised him from death. However this most glorious resurrection was kept secret for no one to see, as if, it did not happen. Even his disciples had seen him only here or there. We think that God should have shocked the whole world by the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, to bring fear upon the murderers. But it did not happen that way. It is a mystery. When Satan was instrumental and crucified Jesus, as in Genesis 3:15 say, that "thou shalt bruise his heel," Satan "was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him," it is in Revelation 12:7-10. ["7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night."] But when he was cast out of heaven, we wish that he could have cast out straight into hell to be punished. But the prince of devils was cast in the world to be the prince of the world, and as the prince of the power of the air. It is in 1 Corinthians 2:6&8 (printed below), and Ephesians 2:2. (In the video, I made an error saying 1 Corinthians 2:6&7, and Ephesians 2:22, Sorry.) It seems like that God gave a promotion to Satan, and now he is the ruler of the world. Why did God do this way? It is a mystery. So, now Satan rules over the world, even though God is the governor over all. So, the stronger person or group, who has the upper hand, has no conscience and they are of Satan. In America we call them as deep state, and the good people are pushed under. The situation is the same all over the world because, it is Satan, who is the prince of the world, rules all over the world. God does not punish SIN until eternity. It is a mystery. Heaven and hell are not to be seen by common people now. It is a mystery, but Spirit people may see it by their faith in the Spirit realm. If God allows it, we may study the mysteries in the future. ["1 Corinthians 2:6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."]
Let us see what we have covered so far. God has created us in three parts and assembled us together as one. Body came from dust and will return to dust. We are the person soul, soul will not die, and it is of the spirit nature. So, after death, our body will go to the dust as dust, but our soul will either go to heaven or to hell. We all are born as soul in the body with NO Spirit (I think that I slipped and said with the Spirit, instead of with NO Spirit). "Jesus Christ says in John 3:3 ... except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." To be born of the Spirit, we must repent for our sins, and ask God for the holy Spirit to help us, and God will give the Spirit; and it is born of the Spirit. Born again is: born of the spirit; born of water; and born of God. These are different spiritual levels, and we will become as children, servants, sons, and the top level is bride of the Lamb. Children inherit new earth; Servants serves in the temple of God; Sons inherit new heavens; and Bride (who is described as New Jerusalem) will be with Christ in Mount Sion. The details of these steps and how to obtain them is a good study and let me give the links to them here. "Born Again," & "Levels in Heaven." However, Matthew 4:8&9 say, "8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me." That is, the kingdom of this world belongs to the devil, and Jesus did not deny the fact; but Jesus did not worship the devil. "10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him." So, Jesus overcame the devil, the devil left him, and angels came and served him. Now a days, most preachers desire a piece in the kingdom of the world, fall down and worship the devil in the name of faith. And Christians also follow their way and become prosperous in this world. How about you? Do you really know the true Jesus? He has created the whole universe when he was God, as in Ephesians 3:9. ["9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:"] But he became a poor man, a servant, unto the death of the cross, as in Philippians 2:6-8. ["6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."] I am not telling that we must all become poor to go to heaven, that is not the gospel. But the gospel must be obeyed. "James 2:5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?" So, please forsake the idea that to be rich in the world is the blessing of the Lord Jesus Christ. This verse says that poor believers and those who love him with obedience, will inherit the kingdom of God. But if you want to be the glorified Sons or the Bride, follow this: "2 Timothy 2:11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: 12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:" Preachers will not teach this, but God says this throughout his word. Trust the word of God, but not preachers. They are salaried professionals, and they are not of God. If you want to know the truth, you study the word of God with sincerity in the Spirit and with prayer. God will reveal the truth.

Matthew 28:20, & Mark 16:15. Jesus Christ preached his commandments to obey, as his
Gospel; it is the true Gospel to inherit Eternal life. Genesis 3:1-4 & 2 Corinth 11:2-4. But Preachers, who are Serpents of Satan, preach the life of man Jesus just to believe, but not to live as a chaste virgin, as the gospel; it is another gospel, which cannot and will not give Eternal life.The true gospel will convert evil people to do good and thereby they will inherit the kingdom in heaven.
John 3:19-21 say that people are two kinds, evil and true. Evil doers will not come to the Light, who is God; but people of truth come to God for their deeds to be made manifest. We have good and evil people by our standard of our society or culture. These evil people may be converted to be doers of truth by the power of God, and they may inherit the kingdom of God in heaven.
