1. God has created everything from nothing.

God is one Spirit. God is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. He has created the whole universe from nothing. He exists from eternal past. God has three souls or persons in his Spirit. The persons are God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. God has created man in his own image, and after his likeness.

God is one Spirit according to John 4:24, Deuteronomy 6:4, 1 King 8:60, Mark 12:32 & 1 Corinthians 8:4. God has souls according to Judges 10:16, Jeremiah 5:9&29, 9:9, Matthew 12:18, & Hebrews 10:38. Ephesians 3:9 says "the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:" It says two things. 1, God the Father created all things by Jesus Christ, and 2, the three persons in God is in mystery fellowship from the beginning, and since it is a mystery it is hid in God, nobody will know it unless God reveals it to them. Genesis 1:2 says "the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." So, the Spirit of God, who is the Holy Ghost, was also participating in the creation, and was in the mystery fellowship. So, God the Father, Lord Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Ghost, are in the mystery fellowship, nest in the one and only omnipotent Spirit God. So, all the three persons have one common Spirit body. If we refer to God for his persons, he is three; but to his power, he is one; and so, God is 3 in 1. However, God is God because of his power attributes, but not because of his character attributes. His Spirit is the only one who has such powers; and so, he is the only God.

Let us see "Genesis 1:3 God said, Let there be light:" So, Most High God said to bring the light. "3 there was light." That is, God the Word brought the light. "4 God divided the light from the darkness." That is God did not allow this light to merge with darkness. So, this light is Spirit, but not the illumination. The illumination light always diffuse or merge with darkness. This light is the holy Spirit and it will not merge with evil spirits.

"1 John 1:5 says, ... God is light, and in him is no darkness at all." So, God is not only Spirit and he is also light. So, God has created the Spirit of man also, as spirit as well as light, to be like him. So, spirit of man was made as light; but it was like to candlelight, whereas God is brighter than the sun. However, both are lights. Let us see how God created this light. In Genesis, there are two accounts of God creating light. "Genesis 1:3 God said, Let there be light: and there was light. Verse 5 says, it was the first day." Then verses 14 to 19 tells about the creation of the fourth day, which is also light. Verse 16 says, "God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also." On the fourth day God made sun, moon, and stars. It is the light that we see. It is illumination or brightness. But what was the light that he created on the first day? John 1:4. "In him was life; and the life was the light of men." It was the light of men that has life, and it was the spirit of men also; so, the spirit and the light are synonyms. God made the complete light of men in one day; and made Jesus Christ as the warehouse or custodian. Jesus Christ will give the light to whomsoever he wills. So, 'the spirit of men' is 'the light of men'; it is in the likeness of God, but it is in miniature form; and is kept with Jesus Christ.

5. Creation of complete Man; Soul, Body, and Spirit.

Genesis 2:1-3 say, that God has finished his work of creation and rested on the seventh day and declared it as the sabbath day. Verses 4-6 say, that after the sabbath day, grasses and plants were not to be found. But the creation was complete; how did they disappear? They did not disappear but since they were created in the form of seeds and were in the earth. They need water to grow above the earth. So, nobody could see them, even though the creation was complete. 5 says that, ".. there was not a man to till the ground." But the creation of man was done. Where did he go? He was created as a soul, a body was not given to him yet, and so, he could not be seen. Please notice; our soul is the actual person, and a body is given to us for us to live. We think that we are the body, but it is not. Our souls will live even after our bodies die. We are the souls. "Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." So, the soul of man and woman, both were created on the same day, and in the same image of the soul of God. Their bodies were given to them later. The body of Adam was made from the dust, and the body of Eve was made from the ribs of Adam. But the souls are them, their bodies were given to them, to live on the earth. Genesis 2:7 says, "... the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, .." Now, the body was made and given to the soul. The body was a living body, and it was not a clay toy. The life of the body is in the blood, according to Genesis 9:4&5, Leviticus 17:11&14, and Deuteronomy 12:23. It was like the animal body, they live even though they do not have a soul. So also, the body of the man was also a living body, and it was given to the soul. The soul is a person. So, now the man is also a person, since he has a soul. The soul did not give the body life. He was living because of the blood. 7 Continues to say, "LORD God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." This is a misunderstood verse in the creation of man. So please listen. We are taught that a clay man was made, and God breathed into the nostrils of the clay, and the clay became a man. But it was not so. A life body was given to the soul, and he was a living man. God breathed the breath of life into the nostrils of the living man, but not on the clay. The breath of life was the spirit of man; and this spirit converted the man as living soul. So, how was man created? His spirit was created on the first day; his soul was created on the sixth day; and his body was created after the sabbath day rest. The real person is the soul; God gave him the body first; and then God breathed the spirit into him. It is how God has created man. We are also in the same way. We are souls; our bodies are given to us in our mother's womb; and we were born. Now, we must be born again of the Spirit, to become complete, as a living soul. If not, we will be a living flesh and a dead soul. Our soul is made same as the soul of God; our spirit is like the spirit of God, but in miniature form, and our body is from the dust of the earth.

6. Why our Soul is in the same Image as God's Soul?

God has created the soul of man exactly as the same as the soul of God. God's soul is in his Spirit, and our soul must be born again and receive the Spirit. If it does, the soul of man will be capable to do what the soul of God can do. The attributes of the souls of God are holiness and righteousness. "1 Peter 1:15 says, as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy." God did not requires us to be omnipotent, since he did not make our spirit as his spirit, our spirit is a miniature spirit, we cannot do what God can do. But our soul is the same as the soul of God; so we can do what God's soul can do. That is why, we must be holy and righteous. "Jesus says in Matthew 5:20 ... except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Revelation 22:11 ... he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. 12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be." Since our soul is created exactly as God's soul, God requires us to be holy and righteous like him. Jesus lived a holy life when he was a man and proved that a man can live a holy life. But we struggle and we are not able to live a holy life; why? Because we do not have the power. Say, that we are born again; have received the holy spirit; and still we do not have power. Then what? John 3:34 says, that the spirit is given by measure, and Jesus has received the spirit beyond measure. So, it is not just born of the spirit, but how much Spirit we receive. If you just receive a cup of spirit, how much power you will have? John 7:37-39 say that you can drink all you want until the spirit flows out of your belly. Or, will you be satisfied with a full cup. What kind of thirst do we have; we will drink that much of spirit. An ounce of tonic will do the work of an ounce, and a gallon of tonic will do the work of a gallon. You will drink as much as your ambition and goal. If your ambition is great, you will drink a lot, until you overflow.

7. Receive the Spirit, it is Light, it is Life to the Soul.

John 1:4. "In him was life; and the life was the light of men." This light was in Jesus Christ; it is the light of men; it gives life to the soul of men; it will make the living flesh to a living soul; and it is by the holy spirit. Verse 9 says, "That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." So, Jesus Christ is the store house of this light and he gives this light to every person, who will come to him. Now, I must tell you this. I was involved in church ministry for forty years and served as a pastor for 12 years. People know the scriptures; they love God and they love the world also. God wants them to be godly, but they want to be religious. They will not meet God where he wanted them to be, but they are satisfied where they are. They think that they are spiritual, but they are religious. Christians think, receiving Jesus Christ is like receiving potatoes. But he is not that cheap. Don't think of him as projection of a man, friend, playmate, helper, or a servant. Jesus Christ is God in the omnipotent Spirit. John 8:12 says, "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness,  but shall have the light of life." Jesus Christ tells us to follow him. Christians are taught that Jesus Christ follows us, he calls us, he loves us, he is doing so much good to us, he begs us to give him a chance, and so on. All these are decorative lies from the devil. But your favorite preacher will preach such messages; because the devil got him; and he will deceive you also through him. The preacher will not preach the pure word of God, but he will mix it with sugary enticing words, which is poison. But Jesus Christ says that if we follow him, we will have the light of life, that is, which is the holy spirit. Jesus Christ will ignite this light, which is the spirit, in our souls to lead us in the ways of God. We must not assume and take it for granted that we are born again. If we have received the spirit, we will become righteous, and we should take it as proof. If we assume without righteous fruit, we may be deceiving ourselves. If we are born again, or born of the spirit, then we become a complete person, or a living soul, with body, soul and spirit. When we die, our bodies go back to dust according to Genesis 3:19 & 1 Corinthians 15:50. "Ecclesiastes 12:7 says, Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it." The soul (I made a mistake on the video; a slip of the tongue; instead of soul, I said as spirit, but it must be soul) will rest in the bosom of Abraham, as in Luke 16:22&23. In the second coming, the spirit will be glorified and come with Jesus Christ, it will join with the soul from Abraham's bosom. They will inherit heaven as glorified sons of God or as bride of Christ. They will be like Jesus Christ in glory. If a man is not born again, he will not have the spirit. When he dies, his body goes to dust, his soul will be naked as in 2 Corinthians 5:3. Then he will be in the lake of fire as in Revelation 20:14.

8. Not seen, nor heard, nor in heart, which God prepared.

"1 Corinthians 2:9 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." Isaiah 64:4 says the same thing. But we all talk about heaven; we think that we know all about it; and we think it is like Disney land. But God says that we don't even have the hardware to put the program about heaven. The holy spirit is the only hardware, that God will put the program in, and then only we will understand heaven. It is the place that is filled with the glory of God. Are you a complete person, with the holy spirit in you? If not, receive the holy spirit from God. Not only he teaches you about heaven, but he will lead you to heaven.

9. It is not the baptism; the Holy Spirit is given by measure.

The holy spirit is not the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is God and the holy spirit is a gift. It is neither the baptism, nor the gift of tongues. In Luke 11:9 Jesus says: "... Ask, and it shall be given you." So, if we ask Jesus Christ for the holy spirit, he will give it to us. But we must ask him as a child ask his Father. So, be a child and ask. The spirit is given by measure. So, receive as much as you want to receive, because the more you receive, the more you can do; and your eternal reward is according to what you do. In heaven there are four levels. 1, Child level. It is like getting in ankle deep of water; water is holy spirit; or like graduating from grammar school; this is paradise. 2, Servants level. It is knee deep of water, or like graduating high school. It is to lead people in the temple of God in paradise. 3, Sons level. It is waist or hip deep water, you know water is the holy spirit, it is like college graduation. Then we will be in new heaven as Sons of God. 4, the Bride of Christ. It is swimming in water, or it is like postgraduate, by which we will reach new Jerusalem, where Jesus Christ will be. But, if we do not have the holy spirit, we will be in hell, and in the lake of fire. But it is very easy to escape hell, if you do not ignore the warnings. If you are proud or rebellious, knock it out, or you will be in hell. If you are evil or a deceiver, you will burn in the lake of fire. Preachers can be deceivers; they twist the word of God to become and famous. They have enticing words and they know how to please you. Repent if you are proud, rebellious, evil, deceiver, or such; and receive the holy spirit. You can escape hell and go to heaven. Follow Jesus Christ, but don't follow preachers. Jesus Christ will give you the light, it is holy spirit. He will lead you to heaven.

Additional Notes:

God took rest on the seventh-day, according to Genesis 2:1-3. Let us look after the seventh day.  Genesis 2:5 says, "And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground." That is, the earth was empty. There was no plant, no herbs, there was neither a man. What happened to the creation? All were there. But they were still in the form of seeds, they were waiting for the rain. "6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground." They grew after they got water.

Man and woman were in the form of souls. They were waiting to receive their bodies. " 7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground," This body was given to the soul, he was Adam. Then the body of woman was made later from the ribs of Adam and was given to her soul, and she was Eve. So, the souls are joined with the bodies, they were man and woman. Please notice; their souls were made on the same day, on the sixth day, but their bodies were made in different days, after the seventh day. At this point Adam was a complete man. "7 says that God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." If we are not careful, or if God does not reveal to a person, we may misunderstand this verse. Christians teach that God made a clay man, and breathed into the clay, and the clay became a living man. It is carelessness. It does not say that the clay became a living man, but it says that the man became a living soul. At this point Adam was a man with soul and body, fully alive, but he does not have the spirit. So, God breathed the spirit into him, to give life to his soul. And, the living man became a living soul. In the New Testament language, we may say that he was born of the spirit. God created man in three stages. 1) created the soul, in his own image. 2) Then he created a flesh body and gave it to the soul as a house or a tabernacle to live in. 3) God breathed into him the spirit and made him a living soul, or a spiritual man, who is born-again. Now, the man is complete.

Does God has our body since we are in His Image?

"Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." God is a Spirit, he is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. Nobody can be in the image of his Spirit. God does not have a flesh body; but God has souls. So, God is Spirit and Soul. Nobody can be as his Spirit, and so God made us as his soul. But a soul is like a spirit, it is neither male nor female. Then, how did God make them male and female? Genesis 2:7 says, "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground,.." This body of dust was made male and female, and God gave them to the souls of Adam and Eve, to live in their bodies. "Genesis 2:7 ... and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." If we are not careful, we may misunderstand this verse. Most Christians think that God made a clay statue of a man and breathed into his (its) nostrils the breath of life to make the statue to be a man. That is not what the verse says. He was already made a man with soul and body. Then, God breathed into him the holy spirit, not an empty air, and this man; who was already a living man, became a living soul; that is, he became a born-again man, or he was born of the spirit. God created man in two stages: first as an ordinary flesh man, and then, as a born-again man, or as spiritual man. Jesus Christ tells us also that we must be born again, and he gives us the holy spirit. So, in creation, God has created the spirit, or the light, on the first day. God has created the soul in his own image on the sixth day. Then, after the Sabbath day, God has created the flesh body from the dust. God put the soul in body; made an ordinary man. Then God gave the spirit, that is light, to this man and made him a living soul, or a spiritual man. This man is complete with body, soul, and spirit. At birth, we have body and soul only. So, we must be born again; that is, we must receive the spirit to become a complete person, even to see the kingdom of God. Without the holy spirit, a living man is a dead soul; but with the holy spirit, he is a 'living soul'. "Genesis 2:7 God ... breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Ephesians 2:1 you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins: 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ." The breath of life is the holy spirit. God gives the holy spirit to dead souls of who were sinning and makes them spiritual living souls.

Looking for the true gospel? This site has the true gospel!

What is the true gospel and what are false gospels?

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.

What will the true Gospel do?

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.
