Vatican II bringing in all religions, including the Remnant of the Reformation

(4) The Adventist Catholic Trinity - Prove All Things 🖐️ Nader Mansour – YouTube

Minute 16:03 Says the Trinity god is the perfect model of intimate love.

NO!

Three divine males the same age in intimate love is the GROSSEST model of love! There is only one perfect model of intimate love—that is between a Father and His only begotten Son! 

“….the only begotten Son, ... is in the bosom of the Father...” (John 1:18).

Seventh-day Adventists and Protestants are allowing the Vatican to influence their thinking with this carnal concept of three adult gods in infinitely intimate embrace. Papal dogmas are all carnal because they do not recognize the Law of God, and therefore they are carnally minded. Only Protestants and Adventists who wrestle with the condemnation of the holy, just, and good Law can be humbled and made subject to it. And only they can receive the gift of God, the spiritual mind. Being spiritually minded means to eschew every overture to carnally minded papal dogmas.

This video shows how the Triune god is the tie that binds all into Ecumenism! That means a divine homosexual god of three males in a “holy” flesh, eternal, threesome ménage à trois [menaʒ a tʁwɑ! Or, before our very eyes god the Spirit will transmute into a female that is full of grace!

Jehovah, save us!

Their Spirit in our spirit

 

“Truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.” (1Jn. 1:3).

“I am ... the truth....

I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 

Yet a little while, and the world seeth Me no more; but ye see Me: because I live, ye shall live also. 

At that day ye shall know that I am in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you. 

He that hath My commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him. 

Judas saith unto Him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that Thou wilt manifest Thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 

Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love Me, he will keep My words: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him.” (John 14:18-23).

Jesus is saying that the other Comforter would be Himself and His Father, after He would leave them. Their presence would bring the comfort to His disciples. And thus it happens,

“If ye love Me, keep My commandments. 

And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever; 

Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 

I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.” (John 14:15-18). 

As the result of loving the truth, so much so that one obeys it (“If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them”), Jesus and His Father come to the believer.

But how do They come? In what form do They come and abide in the believer? Where do They abide in the believer? In the heart? In the soul? In the mind? In the spirit? In the conscience?

Yes, to all five because the heart, the soul, the mind, the spirit, the conscience, are all the same. We have a spirit because we are especially made like God’s image. So Paul elucidates this divine-human likeness in a natural comparison. “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.” (1Cor. 2:11).

The rather obvious lesson here is that the spirit [mind] of man is the only entity that can know the private thoughts of that man, and anyone to whom he divulges his secrets. And likewise in this parallelism, the only One who can know the private thoughts of the divine God is the divine God Himself and His divine Son, and those to whom He deems trustworthy for His Son to communicate them. “All things are delivered unto Me of My Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him.” (Matt. 11:27).

And the divine Son in due time reveals God’s private matters to His redeemed men and women and children through His earthly chain of command of prophets, apostles, and teachers. “At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.” (Matt. 11:25). “God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.” (1Cor. 2:10). “For who hath known the mind of the Lord [the Father “Lord of heaven and earth”], that he may instruct Him? [(No one.)] But we have the mind of Christ.” (1Cor. 2:16).

And it goes without saying that Jesus unveils His Father to His angels. “Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves [the prophets], but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into. 

Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” (1Pet. 1:12,13).

“Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?” (Heb. 1:14).

Where do Jehovah and His only-Begotten, how do They, manifest Themselves to us? They reveal Themselves as Spirit in our spirit. Their one Spirit unites with our spirit in one united Spirit. Our fellowship is with the Father and the Son. Then the remade connection and union with God that Adam had in Eden brings us great peace and happiness. 

They reveal Themselves to us in our conscience, our heart, our spirit. But, in what form, in what substance do they reveal Themselves? In the form that our consciences can receive them, in Spirit, in truth. The Father and Son come to our conscience as truth. It is truth that our minds process in order for us to be remade into Their image, in Their Spirit. Therefore, from our perspective Their Spirit is Them in the form of truth, inductive reasoning and questions that bring out more insights about Jesus and our Father, right biblical doctrine, high and holy scriptural concepts, conceptualized in divine thought-forms of righteousness, visions — that is, thought-forms “seen” from righteousness acted out in the Bible’s sacred history. “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the Law, happy is he.” (Prov. 29:18). Without these visions of truth (which is Jesus) there is no life; but with truth as it is in the visions of Jesus comes abundant, everlasting life. “At that day” when Jesus would ascend to the right hand of God as the victorious High Priest to represent them before the Most High, He promised His forlorn disciples, “ye shall know that … ye [are] in Me, and I in you” (John 14:20). Fifty days later Jesus—in Spirit—would be the life of their soul.

Therefore, the Spirit, to our perceptions, is truth and visions of truth. The Nicene “substance” of the Spirit, is spiritual truth, which actually has no real substance. So if the members of the Trinity all have the same substance, then they all have no personality, no bodies. They are all fictitious and no better than panentheism. “It is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.” “The Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My name, he shall teach you all things.” “The anointing^G5545 which ye have received of Him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in Him.” (1Jn. 5:6;John 14:26;1Jn. 2:27).

G5545

From G5548; an unguent or smearing, that is, (figuratively) the special endowment … of the Holy Spirit: - anointing, unction.

The anointing is the Comforter-Spirit, which is truth to our heart, to our spirit, in our mind, our soul, our conscience.

Where also does the truth abide?

In the commandments from Jesus, His precepts, His thoughts, reasonings, expressions, His injunctions, etc. As we see them we see Him (John 5:39;6:40).

“If ye love Me, keep My commandments....

He that hath My commandments, and keepeth them….

If a man love Me, he will keep My words...

He that loveth Me not keepeth not My sayings.” (John 14:15,21,23,24).

This is, as Judas asked, How is it “that Thou wilt manifest Thyself unto us, and not unto the world?” (John 14:22).

In Spirit, that is, by truth that is received into His disciples and kept by them, Jesus would come to them and comfort them by His presence. In Jesus who is the truth, the scriptures would give them eternal life. The Spirit of truth would be His written word received into their consciences, and thus He could be present to comfort them.

“I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever; 

Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 

I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 

Yet a little while, and the world seeth Me no more; but ye see Me: because I live, ye shall live also. 

At that day ye shall know that I am in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you.” (John 14:16-20). 

At the throne of the universe the Father and Son are in Their bodily forms. But, in Their front yard here on Earth, and elswhere in the universe, They are in Their spiritual states, that is, in Their truth. So the Spirit of God not only brings to us—but also is to us —a new state of nature. When They infuse our possession of truth with the creative power that They bring to help us keep the truth, then we receive a mind under the possession of heavenly agencies. And the Spirit lives in the truth because the Spirit is truth. Therefore, the Spirit dwells in the written word and is inculcated into the believing soul. With truth rooted and grounded in us by the written truth and the Spirit, like Adam in Eden, we become a living soul.

And therefore the Spirit is not a third person. And everyone who knows the experience of Christ’s power and presence as His truth is imbibed in their repentant spirit knows that the Spirit of truth cannot be simply a person in a Trinity of divine beings. The Spirit is an experience. All who have been humbled and made penitent know that Christ gives them reconciliation with God, but the Spirit is their reconciliation with God; the Spirit is the new reconnection with Jehovah’s Spirit. They soon wake up to the truth that that third person is a thief and a deceiver,  and has usurped the experience of truth in the minds of billions, by offering a supposed hope and an assumed blessing from a platonic god who is devoid of the Creator’s strong, scourging convictions by His high standard. The world has accepted a child-molesting kidnapper in exchange for a living experience with their Father who created them.

All who dodge the spiritual thrusts from stinging truth will never know the true God and His only Begotten. The conviction dodgers will never know the Father and the Son. They will never know the united Spirit by which the Father and the Son join the spirit of man to Themselves. They will never recognize the religious fraud. As it is written, “He that is joined unto the Lord is one Spirit.” (1Cor. 6:17). Truth dodgers will always opt for the Trinity, and its religious system which offers no joining with the only true God, but offers empty promises of redemption, without any provision for victory over sin. And such a non-convicting god of lawlessness is just what the dodgers of truth desire. Therefore they will always remain among the billions of other lost, blind, and the dead of mankind, comparing themselves among themselves and measuring themselves by themselves. They will join hand in hand, and all will be punished in the last plagues and then come up in the second resurrection. They will do as all the perverted world have ever done, congregate with other godless Canaanites in temples dedicated to Dagon and will perish when the Lord’s Samsons bring down those houses of worship. All who in these last days disregard the straight testimony of Ellen White will be lost in the wicked and atheistic Trinity deception.

Their Spirit in our spirit

“Truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.” (1Jn. 1:3).

“I am ... the truth....

I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 

Yet a little while, and the world seeth Me no more; but ye see Me: because I live, ye shall live also. 

At that day ye shall know that I am in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you. 

He that hath My commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him. 

Judas saith unto Him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that Thou wilt manifest Thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 

Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love Me, he will keep My words: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him.” (John 14:18-23).

The comfort Jesus promised would come from the presence of Himself and His Father. The Two would be the Comforter, and thus it happens.

“If ye love Me, keep My commandments. 

And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever; 

Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 

I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.” (John 14:15-18). 

As the result of loving the truth, so much so that one obeys it (“If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them”), Jesus would come to His disciples with His Father. But how do They come? In what form do They come and abide in the believer? Where do They abide in the believer? In the heart? In the soul? In the mind? In the spirit? In the conscience?

Yes, to all five because the heart, the soul, the mind, the spirit, the conscience, are all the same. We have a spirit because we are especially made in God’s image. So Paul elucidates this topic. “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.” (1Cor. 2:11).

The obvious parallel here is that the spirit of man is the only entity that can know the private thoughts of that man, and anyone to whom he divulges his secrets. And likewise, the only One who can know the private thoughts of God is God Himself, and those to whom He deems trustworthy to communicate them.

Who might such privileged persons be?

First and foremost, His dear Son. “All things are delivered unto Me of My Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him.” (Matt. 11:27).

Secondarily, redeemed men and women and children. “At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.” (Matt. 11:25). “God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.” (1Cor. 2:10). “For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that He may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.” (1Cor. 2:16).

Thirdly, His angels. “Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. 

Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: 

Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. 

Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into. 

Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” (1Pet. 1:9-13).

“Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?” (Heb. 1:14).

To where do they, how do They manifest themselves to us? They reveal Themselves in our spirit. Their one Spirit unites with our spirit. The remade connection and union with God that Adam had brings us great peace and happiness. But Their reconciliation with previously disaffected children of Adam brings Them infinitely greater peace and happiness than it brings the children.

They reveal Themselves to us in our conscience, our heart, our spirit. But, in what form, what substance do they reveal Themselves? In the form that our consciences can receive them, in Spirit, in truth. They come as truth. It is truth that our minds process to be remade into Their image, in Their Spirit. Their Spirit is Them in the form of truth, righteousness, right doctrine, high conceptualizations, visions. Without the vision of truth, which is Jesus, there is no life; but in Him there is life. He is the life of the soul. “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” (Prov. 29:18).

Therefore, the Spirit is truth, the Nicene “substance” of the Spirit, is actually spiritual truth, which has no substance. “It is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.” “The anointing^G5545 which ye have received of Him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in Him.” (1Jn. 5:6;1Jn. 2:27).

The anointing is the Spirit, which is truth to our soul, our spirit, our mind, our heart, our conscience.

Where does the truth also abide? In the commandments from Jesus, His words, His sayings, etc., as we see above.

“If ye love Me, keep My commandments....

He that hath My commandments, and keepeth them….

If a man love Me, he will keep My words...

He that loveth Me not keepeth not My sayings.” (John 14:15,21,23,24).

Truth dodgers will always opt for the Trinity, the religious system which offers empty promises of redemption, but never provides for victory over sin. And this is just what the dodger of truth desires. Therefore they will always remain among other lost, blind, and the dead of mankind, comparing themselves among themselves and measuring themselves by themselves.

Punished for serving the Trinity God

 “How shall I pardon thee for this? Thy children have forsaken Me, and sworn by them that are no gods [Elohim]….

Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this? 

Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD's. 

For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD.” (Jer. 5:7,9-11).

 

When God decided to create humanity, He had nothing but excellence— perfection—in His mind. God’s ideal for humankind was supernatural. As we read from the book of Genesis, God created everything, and behold, it was “very good” (Gen. 1:31)—not simply good, but very good. We were indeed made perfect in every aspect. What does it mean, however, for us to be created perfect? Ellen White has described what this means: “Man was to bear God’s image, both in outward resemblance and in character. (Collegiate Sabbath School Quarterly, 2 nd quarter 1999, pages 12-14, ‘Our Human Nature’)

But God did not create man; that is, as the Trinitarians want to say it, that the Trinity God directed the creation of man. Christ, Messiah the Prince, the Lord God at the command of, and by the empowering love of, His Father He created man from the dust of the ground, and woman from man’s side. The Father “created all things by Jesus Christ.” (Eph. 3:9). God, the Father, in creating humanity did the part that only He could do, while His only Begotten Son did the part that only He could do. “Man” meant “mankind”, as in “male and female”. “In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made He him; male and female created He them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.” (Gen. 5:1,2). And “man in Our image” (Gen. 1:26) meant two persons made in the likeness of Father and His only Begotten, since “in the likeness of God made He him; male and female create He them”. No Trinity god created anything except a niche in which to place himself as “the Most High” (Isa. 14:14). Being that the Ancient of days “Him that liveth for ever and ever” (Rev. 4:10) initiated our creation, and being that He is in every way superior to His Son, as He is the Father of the Prince, He gets the authorship and notoriety for creating this greatest of all creations. “God created man”, “God … created all things”. (Gen. 5:1; Eph. 3:9). But the Father created it all “by Jesus Christ”.

“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.... 

Gen 2:21  And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 

Gen 2:22  And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.” (Gen. 2:7,21,22).

“To us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by Him.” (1Cor. 8:6 ).

“O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto Thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. 

Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods? 

Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that My name is The LORD.” (Jer. 16:19-21).

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son; and the Holy Ghost teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.” (Matt. 28:19).

Amen. 

Wonderful connection between grace, the Spirit, and Jesus!

 

Real or Cheap Grace? - Nader Mansour - YouTube

Amen! to grace being Christ, His presence, His rest, His discipline and training. He is the Spirit, the Convincer and Comforter. Grace is no longer an abstract, nebulous theological concept. Its Jesus moving into our spirit, and fixing us from the inside out.

Another look at the question, Just who is the Spirit?

 

“The Comforter that Christ promised to send after He ascended to heaven, is the Spirit in all the fulness of the Godhead.” Special Testimonies, Series B, No. 7, pp. 63. (1905) {Evangelism, pp. 614,615}

But, just who is the fulness of the Godhead? Who is the Godhead? The author of the above statement gives the definition to her own terminology. The paragraph before she stated that the Godhead consists of the Father and the Son:

“The Father is all the fulness of the Godhead bodily, and is invisible to mortal sight. The Son is all the fulness of the Godhead manifested. The Word of God declares Him to be ‘the express image of His person…. The Comforter that Christ promised to send after He ascended to heaven, is the Spirit in all the fulness of the Godhead, making manifest the power of divine grace to all who receive and believe in Christ as a personal Saviour.’”

So there we have it! The Father is all the fulness of the Godhead, and the Son is all the fulness of the Godhead, and no one else. From the context we learn the exact meaning of Sr. White by the above first statement. The Comforter comes in all the fullness of the Father and the Son. It has no fulness of the Godhead except Theirs, because it comes from Their fulness, it is Their fulness! She didn’t say that the Comforter is all the fulness of the Godhead, as she did concerning God the Father and His only begotten Son. This is in perfect agreement with the words of Christ:

“He that hath My commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and [I] will manifest Myself to him.” (John 14:21).

“If a man love Me, he will keep My words: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him. ” (John 14:23).

“And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.” (John 14:16-18).

That wasn’t so hard to comprehend! It’s easy if we let the inspired writer define his or her own definitions and not make our own definitions, putting words into their mouths. A child can understand the Spirit. It’s the Spirit of the Almighty God and His only begotten Son. It’s Their united Spirit that will make Their abode with Their children. Jesus wants to manifest Himself, represent Himself, to us and not leave us destitute, like the fatherless and widows, without His presence in our hearts and minds. The Father’s “dear Son”, “Thy holy child Jesus” “the only begotten of the Father” “which is in the bosom of the Father”, His Beloved Son in whom He was well pleased, His spotless Lamb, the One to whom He said, “My love, My dove, My undefiled”, is the One who manifests Himself to us and is instrumental in bringing His Father’s presence into us. “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.” The Beloved of the Father is who will mediate and intercede for us before His great God. We will be saved by our Advocate of whom He foretold, “It pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He hath put Him to grief: when Thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand”.

Why did Jesus refer to the Spirit as a Him rather than calling it the presence and power of His Father and of Himself? It is a Hebraism. Paul did the same when speaking of the man of sin (see 2Thess. 2:4), which would be an evil totalitarian replacement of Imperial Rome. Daniel did the same (see Dan. 7:20,24). Yet it was not a person or individual, but an empire. Not only did Jesus always speak perfectly in line with scripture, but He inspired its writers.

 :)

“Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known Me, Philip? He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of Myself: but the Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works. Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me: or else believe Me for the very works' sake.” (Joh 14:9-11).

How was Jesus able to be in the Father and the Father in Him? Spiritually; heart to heart; mind to mind. Always and ever, in Christ’s soul, either awake or asleep, when an adult, a child, or a fetus, there existed a cognizance, a peace, rest, comfort. The Father’s Spirit came as a thought, a silent voice, a constant presence unseen by His eyes or unheard by His ears, but by His faith only. Even before Christ’s Spirit was developed, while still an embryo in Miriam, His Father was present, watching, overseeing His gestation, causing it to happen, and waiting with inexpressible anticipation for more and more interaction with His preexistent Son.

As communication developed God became His Son’s teacher. His Father’s thoughts were His thoughts, and the joy of His heart and the life of His soul. Even as an infant Jesus was ahead of His time. He was a child prodigy of child prodigies. “Heavenly beings were His attendants, and the culture of holy thoughts and communings was His. From the first dawning of intelligence He was constantly growing in spiritual grace and knowledge of truth.” “Wonderful in its significance is the brief record of His early life: “The child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon Him.” In the sunlight of His Father’s countenance, Jesus “increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.” Luke 2:52. His mind was active and penetrating, with a thoughtfulness and wisdom beyond His years. Yet His character was beautiful in its symmetry. The powers of mind and body developed gradually, in keeping with the laws of childhood.” DA 70, 68.

And we, too, can have power over the inherent weaknesses of our nature and the deformities of our character through the access we can have to Jesus, as He had access to His Father.

“The Heir, as long as He is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though He be Lord of all; 

But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the Father. 

Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: 

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the Law, 

To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 

  And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.” (Gal 4:1-6).

Jesus, as an embryo, was “in bondage under the elements of the world”. But, in the fetal stage and ever afterward, His conscious response to His Father gave Him the power to resist all the sinfulness that Miriam’s fallen nature formed in His body and kept before His conscience.

“For both He that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brethren, 

Saying, I will declare Thy name unto My brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto Thee. 

And again, I will put My trust in Him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given Me. 

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 

And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 

For verily He took not on Him the nature of angels; but He took on Him the seed of Abraham. 

Wherefore in all things it behoved Him to be made like unto His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. 

  For in that He Himself hath suffered being tempted, He is able to succour them that are tempted.” (Heb. 2:11-18).

Every advantage Jesus had over Satan and sin we can have. In Christ nothing is withheld. Through the union with God, through that Spirit of at-one-ment, Jesus’ victory can be the victory of every fallen son and daughter of Adam. “Be of good cheer”, said Jesus, “I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33).
