Let me introduce myself to the community. My name is Michal. I am married to Joy and she is...My Joy. We have a beautiful Christian daughter of 14. Between us and our previous marriages, we have 4 other adult children. I am 56...and Joy is...not as old as I. We are all involved in a Bible based fellowship and hold God's Word in high esteem. We are all Spirit-filled and manifesting believers. We teach those who want to know...how...but never bust down doors to do so. God's Word was and is only for those who want to believe it. No force feeding needed. In fact, whether or not a person chooses to or not to believe is never my responsibility, nor can I ever have any control over that. I am the only one that I can control and that is a full time job.
I love to teach and help rescue God's people from the clutches of this world I only teach the Bible and how to understand it and apply it to everyday life and situations. I consider the Bible to be the only and final authority on what the Bible says and what God meant when he had ..."holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit". I accept nothing but scripture-rightly-divided-as authority on' what is written '. I do not accept theology as truth unless it agrees with God's word. I do not accept 'established church doctrine' as truth. There are over 55, 000 different denominations calling themselves Christian and claiming the Bible as their source of truth and doctrine. There is only one true God and he desires that all come unto "the knowledge of the truth" ONE GOD can not be perfect in many truths. Just as there is only
ONE GOD there can only be ONE TRUTH. A perfect God would never trust the interpretation of his Word to imperfect man. I believe therefore, that the only way to understand God's Word is to let the Word interpret 'itself. That is exactly how God had it written and that is exactly what it does ...It interprets itself...This is where I come from and this is what I bring to the table. This is what I have been doing for 32 years and I have never seen God's Word ever be wrong,
Inconsistent, or contradict itself. All errors I have seen and made have been from 'assumptive' interpretation followed by trying to make the Word agree with a pre-conceived doctrine. Man in his arrogance is always trying to 'be smarter than God. Psalm 138:2 says that God "has magnified his word above all his name". I am not a rocket scientist, but I do know that when God magnifies something above his name, that makes it more authoritative than I or any other human can be...it is also written in 2 Peter 2:20”...knowing this first, that 'no' prophecy of scripture is of any private interpretation..." Private is a Greek word=idios-meaning one’s own. Not one word of God's word is subject to the interpretation of anybody but whom God says is qualified and the Word of God is the only qualified authority on God. Theology therefore is in grave danger of not only gross arrogance but in some cases...blasphemous. Therefore, I will yield to no authority but God's Word. This position is why I also must state that I believe in only ONE GOD: The GOD and FATHER of my Lord, JESUS CHRIST, the only begotten son of God.
The Father is divine: therefore, the Son is divine. The Father is and has always been…A Deity…Therefore, after God raised Jesus Christ from the dead and seated him at his own right-hand…He too is now a Deity. We believe God is God and the father of our lord, Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus Christ (the same yesterday, today and forever) is as God declared when he said” … This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.” We do not call God a liar. We believe he knew who He was and who his son is. We also worship and praise and pray to the Same God that Jesus prayed to and worshipped and praised. This is a topic of intense search and research of God’s word that I have been involved with for 32 years. I do not speak of it lightly or without the ability to back it up .I do not accept as arguments any other authority but the ‘rightly-divided’ Word of God. I also have NO-FEAR of this ‘third-rail’ subject. I invite it….I love it. I count it as my service the God, to defend the integrity of his Word.
