神的道能救你的魂!
本次研究主要经文: 雅各书1:21节
前言:
1.经文照抄: 所以,你们要脱去一切的污秽和盈余的邪恶.
存温柔的心领受那所栽种 (1721) 的道.就是能救 (1410) 你们魂的道. 雅1:21节
2.全新现实例子说明! 2021年10月18日.
美国一位大人物,因冠状病毒死了! 他打了病毒免疫针!
3.正如经文说,人要先脱去一切污秽,邪恶...
再接受栽种的道! 这样,神的道就能救他的魂!
Colin Powell先生若先除去体内所有其他叫人慢死的病,然后再打针!
这样免疫针就能救他的命!
4.他的医师应该先除丢他体内,所有其他叫他慢死的疾病.再给他打针!
一.栽种这原文字有接受他人教导的意思!
1.就如保罗所写: 罗马书10:13-15节
(1)凡求告主名的,就必得救. 罗10:13节
(2)然而人未曾信他,怎能求他昵? 未曾听见他,怎能信他昵?
没有传道的,怎能听见昵? 罗10:14节
(3)若没有奉差遣,怎能传道昵?
如经上所记:报福音传喜信的人,他们的脚踪何等佳美. 罗10:15节
2.好像医药,神的道必须纯真!就是原本启示时的意思!
3.显然,只有神自己所拣选的传道人能作教导栽种!
4.正如使徒彼得所写: 彼得前书4:11节
若有讲道的,要按着神的话讲.若有服侍的,要按着神所赐的力量服侍.
叫神在凡事上因耶稣基督得荣耀.
原来荣耀,权能都是神的.直到永永远远!阿门!
5.保罗这样教导: 提摩太后书4:1-5节
我在神面前,并在将来审判活人死人的基督耶稣面前,凭着他的显现和他的国度嘱咐你. 提后4:1节
务要传道,无论得时不的时,总要专心,并用百般的忍耐,各样的教训,责备人,警戒人,劝勉人. 提后4:2节
6.因为时候要到,人必厌烦纯正的道理.耳朵发痒,就随从自己的情欲,增添好些师傅. 提后4:3节
并且掩耳不听真道,偏向荒渺的言语. 提后4:4节
7.你却要凡事谨慎,忍受苦难,作传道的工夫.尽你的职分. 提后4:5节
- 二. 何处寻到这样的传道人?
1.只能在基督的教会里找!
为要藉着教会使天上执政的,掌权的,现在得知神百般的智慧.
这是照神从万世以前,在我们主基督耶稣里所定的旨意. 以弗所书3:10-11节
2.弟兄们,我们既因耶稣的血得以坦然进入至圣所.
是藉着他给我们开了一条又新,又活的路从幔子经过.这幔子就是他的身体. 希伯来书10:19-20节
谁能知道"他的身体"就是基督的教会!?
3.神赐我们发现原本意思,是因我们在基督的教会里!
- 三. 领受栽种的必须是纯真信耶稣的人!
- 这样的人! 彼得前书2:1-2节
所以,你们既除去一切的恶毒,诡诈并假善.嫉妒和一切毁谤的话. 彼得前书2:1节
就要爱慕那纯净的灵奶,像才生的婴孩爱慕奶一样.叫你们在救恩里成长! 彼得前书2:2
*** 彼得和雅各都说,病毒免疫针能救命,需先除去体内已有的疾病!
不然的话,免疫针会变成叫人死!
- 这样的人! 使徒行传17:11节
这里的人贤于帖撒逻尼嘉的人,甘心领受这道,天天考查圣经,要晓得这道是与不是.
- 这样的人! 彼得后书1:5-11节
正因这缘故,你们要分外地殷勤.有了信心,又要加上勇气,有了勇气又要加上知识,
有了知识,又要加上节制,有了节制,又要加上忍耐,有了忍耐,又要加上虔敬,有了虔敬,
又要加上爱弟兄的心,有了爱弟兄的心,又要加上爱众人的心!
这些德行的分量越来越多,就必使你们在认识我们的主耶稣基督上不至闲懒不结果子了.彼得后书1:8
人若没有这几样,就是近视,只看见近处的,忘了他旧日的罪已经得了洁净. 彼得后书1:9节
所以弟兄们,应当更加殷勤,使你们所蒙的恩召和拣选坚定不移.
你们若行这几样,就永不失脚. 彼得后书1:10节
这样,必叫你们丰丰富富地得以进入我们救主耶稣基督永远的国. 彼得后书1:11节
愿主耶稣的恩惠与众圣徒同在.阿门! 启22:21节
2021年10月31日讲这篇.
God’s word is able to save your soul!
Main scripture for this study: James 1:21
Preface:
- Scripture as recorded:
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the implanted 1721 word,
which is able 1410 to save your souls. James 1:21 ASV
- Brand new fresh example! October 18, 2021
A great American Colin Powell: Former US secretary of state died of Covid-19 complications!
He had covid-19 vaccine shot still died of Covid-19!
- As the scripture says: Lay apart, rid all sicknesses within the body, then the implanted word is able to save one’s soul!
If Mr. Colin Powell had rid all other sicknesses within his body, Covid-19 vaccine shot could save his life!
- His doctors should have rid all other deadly sickness from his body, then give him Covid-19 vaccine shot!
- Original word is implanted by others' instruction!
- As Paul wrote in Ro.10:13-15
- For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Ro.10:13
- How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?
And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
And how shall they hear without a preacher? Ro.10:14
- And how shall they preach, except they be sent?
As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! Ro.10:15
- Like medicine must be genuine! Word of God must be original intended meaning!
- Obviously only God's chosen evangelists can be the instructors!
- As Peter wrote! 1Peter 4:11
If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God give:
that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
- Apostle Paul put it this way! 2Tim.4:1-5
I charge in the sight of God, and of Christ Jesus, who shall judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:
preach the word; be urgent in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. 2Tim.4:1-2
- For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, having itching ears, will heap to themselves teachers
after their own lusts; and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside unto fables. 2Tim.4:3-4
- But be thou sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill thy ministry. 2Tim.4:5
- Where can you find these kinds of instructors?
- Only in church of Christ!
To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom
of God. According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord. Eph.3:10-11
- Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus.
By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is his body.
What kinds of preachers can know here “his body” is church of Christ!?
- God granted us to find the original meanings of His Word! Because we are in the church of Christ!
- Receiving people must be genuine Jesus believers!
- These kinds of people! 1Peter 4:11
Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speaking. 1Pet.2:1
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow in your salvation. 1Peter 2:1-2
*** Peter and James both said covid-19 vaccine can save lives, if slowing dying illnesses in the body eliminated first!
Otherwise Coid-19 vaccine may make dead of the body sooner!
- These kinds of people! Acts 17:11
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the
scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Acts 17:11
- These kinds of people! 2Peter 1:5-11
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge. 1:5
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness. 1:6
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly love, love for all. For if these things be in you, and abound,
they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1:7-8
But he that lack these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 1:9
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall.1:10
For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 1:11
May the grace of our Lord Jesus be with all the saints. Amen. Preach this October 31, 2021.

Homeless in NYC?
A. Know this assuredly!
- I say: There is no homelessness in NYC!
- Google search will tell you there are 8.3 million people in NYC.
One out of 106 classified homeless! That is about 80,000!
- Google search also say there are five main causes for homelessness!
Substance abuse, housing cost, domestic violence, poverty, lack of disabilities and mental health care facilities!
- Not one mentioned about school age children embrace playing but shun learning!
I happened to live one street away to elementary school. I work across street of a R.C.C. school.
- I seen many children after school play their hearts out on street and play grounds!
- Thousands of children grown up through our church programs! Over 50 years, not one became homeless!
- I can humbly say: If NYC let us run their school program, there would be no homeless within 50 years!
B. Think about Google search 5 causes of homelessness!
1. Substance abuse? This means drug addiction, drinking, smoking, gamble ... addictions!
Our children do not smoke cigarette, do not drink wine, no gamble,...
- Our children grow up make good money housing cost is not a cause!
- Domestic violence is non-existing!
The Lord Jesus said: Love one another! Can human disobey this instruction!?
- Poverty? What is it?
One simple verse solves this one easily! Eph.4:28
He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work doing something useful with his own hands,
that he may have something to share with those in need.
Yes, people may disagree with this one! That is why they there are homeless people!
- Lack of disabilities and mental health facilities?
Thank God, not one of our children grew up in need of these facilities!
C. Here are some real root causes!
1. Disobey these teachings
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Eph.6:1
- Honor your father and mother which is the first commandment with a promise --
that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth. Ehp.4:2-3
- No parents teach their children while they were young they should play and not study in school so they can grow up to be homeless!
- I believe parents will teach their children to make it good in school!
With a good education so they will not grow up to become homeless!
- No parents will tell their children, be sure to be addicted ....
There is no child grow up to become substances abuse!
Why don't I have substance abuse!
Good if people say: Because you are a preacher! Then be a preacher so there would be no homeless!
- Failed to obey these teachings:
For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: If a man will not work, he shall not eat. 2Thes.3:10
Practice this while children are still young!
Let them know early enough! Make them work for their food!
2. America has this tradition!
By 15 parents would tell them: My child this is your 15 years birth day! Find a job, learn to work.... by 18 you are own your own!
Strictly enforce this one! Make them work hard for what they need!
Very fast they learn a trade to make money to feed themselves!
They have no time to abuse substance! They have no money to buy them! Why do human abuse substance!?
D. Finally: Obey your leaders in the church of Christ!
Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account.
Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you. Heb.13:17
I believe there is no church of Christ leaders teach their people to become substance abuse, do domestic violence!
Get lazy never desire to work hard for a living… so you can become homeless as soon as possible!
As I said, in my 60 years of preaching in church I have yet to see one child grow up to become homeless!
If America learns from us there would be no homeless people on the street!
Written October 18, 2021.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus be with all the saints! Amen! Rev.22:21 Written October 28, 2021.

Homeless people in NYC?
Statistic say NYC has 80,000 homeless people sleeping on the streets!
What do you say about a nation that has 45 billion for foreign nations!
721.5 billion for war games! 3.3 billion for Israel. 2.51 billion for Jordan!
Any of the about is much more than enough for the 80,000 homeless to sleep in 5 stars hotel all their life long!
- Know this assuredly!
- I say: There are no homeless people in NYC! It is impossible! Please do not bad mouth about NYC!
A nation has 2.51 billion free to the nation of Jordan! How can there be 80,000 people sleep on their own city street?
- Google search will tell you there are 8.3 million people in NYC. One out of 106 classified as homeless! That is about 80,000!
This is another reason I say it is not true there are 80,000 homeless people in NYC!
One has to be crazy to think 105 people together cannot help one homeless person! This is NYC!
- Google search also say there are five main causes for homelessness! (Not one is true!)
Substance abuse, housing cost, domestic violence, poverty, lack of disabilities and mental health care facilities!
- Not one mentioned about school age children shun learning for playing after school day end!
I live one street away to one elementary school. I work across street of a R.C.C. school.
- I saw some children after school play their hearts out on street and play grounds!
- Thousands of children grown up through our church programs! Over 50 years, not one became homeless!
- About Google’s 5 homeless causes!?
- Substance abuse? This means drug addiction, drinking, smoke, gamble,... addiction!
Our children do not smoke cigarette, do not do drug, do not drink wine, no gamble,... None addicted to anything!
- Our children grow up make good money housing cost is not a cause!
- Domestic violence is non-existing! The Lord Jesus said: Love one another! Can human disobey this instruction!?
- Poverty? What is it?
One simple verse solves this one easily! Eph.4:28
He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work doing something useful with his own hands,
that he may have something to share with those in need.
*** Not one homeless! Rather! They are able to help those in need!
- Lack of disabilities and mental health facilities? Thank God, not one of our children grew up in need of these facilities!
- Here are some real root causes!
Who gave birth to homeless people? Who feed them and brought them up to become homeless?
Make these people sleep with homeless people on street! If there are some!
C. These are the root causes!
- Lazy in school! Lazy at home! Lazy at work place! Lazy all life! Do you know one of these kinds of people!?
- Too lazy to obey these teaching! Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Eph.6:1
- No parents teach children to shun learning for playing so they can grow up to be homeless!
- I believe parents will teach their children to make it good in school!
- No parents will tell their children, be sure to be addicted .... There is no child grow up to become substances abuse!
- Too lazy to obey these teachings:
For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: If a man will not work, he shall not eat. 2Thes.3:10
Practice this while children are still young! Let them know early enough! Make them work for their food!
- America has this tradition!
By 15 parents would tell them: My child this is your 15 years birth day! Find a job, learn to work.... by 18 you are own your own!
Strictly enforce this one! Make them work hard for what they need! Very fast they learn a trade to make money to feed themself!
They have no time and no money to abuse substance
D. Conclusion: There are no homeless people in NYC!
If there are any homeless people anywhere! It is the result of lawlessness!
Lawless government! Lawless parents! Lawless children! Lawless teachers! Lawless human! Lawless all the way!
May God have mercy on all of us!

In Christ? Are you sure?
A few points to verify!
- Do God’s commands and sin not! 1Jn.1:1-6 These two are always together!
- My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.
And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 1Jn.2:1
- He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. 1Jn.2:2
- We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. 1Jn.2:3
- The man who says: I know him, but do not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 1Jn.2:4
- But if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him. 1Jn.2:5
- Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did. 1Jn.2:6
- Whosoever abides in him sin not. 1Jn.3:6-10
- Whosoever abides in him sin not: whosoever sin has not seen him, neither known him. 1Jn.3:6
- Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.1Jn.3:7
- He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sin from the beginning.
For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1Jn.3:8
- Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remain in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 1Jn.3:9
- In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God,
neither he that love not his brother. 1Jn.3:10
- Sin not and able to keep himself! 1Jn.5:16-18
- If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death.
There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. 1Jn.5:16
- All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. 1Jn.5:17
- We know that whosoever is born of God sin not; but he that is begotten of God keep himself,
and that wicked one touch him not. 1Jn.5:18
- Able to control his own body not to commit fornication! 1Thes.4:1-8
- Finally, brothers, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living.
Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more. 1Thes.4:1
- For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. .1Thes 4:2
- It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid fornication. .1Thes 4:3
- That each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen,
who do not know God; 1Thes.4:4-5
- And that in this matter no one should wrong his brother or take advantage of him.
The Lord will punish men for all such sins, as we have already told you and warned you. 1Thes 4:6
- For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. .1Thes 4:7
- Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit. 1Thes.4:8
- No love money! No adultery! Heb.13:4-6
- Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.
- Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have,
because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you. Heb.13:5
- So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? Heb.13:6
- No suicide! 1Cor.3:16-17
- Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? 1Cor.3:16
- If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple. 1Cor.13:17
- Not dirty minded! Eph.4:29
- Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths,
but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
- Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth,
but such as is good for edifying as the need may be, that it may give grace to them that hear.ASV

Dead is not dead
- Our God is the God of the living not of the dead! Matt.22:32
- Jesus said: The living and believing and in me will never die! Jn.11:25-26
- Main scriptures for this study: Jn.8:20-24
- These words spoke he in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man took him; because his hour was not yet come. Jn.8:20

- And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. Jn.8:23
- I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for except ye believe that I am, ye shall die in your sins. Jn8:24
- For every living soul belongs to me, the father as well as the son-- both alike belong to me. The soul who sins is the one who will die. Eze.18:4

- That are in the tombs shall hear his voice! Jn.5:28-29
- Marvel not at this: for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good,
unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment. Jn.5:28-29
- The dead man came out from his tomb! Jn.11:39-44
Jesus said: Take ye away the stone.
Martha, the sister of him that was dead, said unto him: Lord, by this time the body decayed; for he has been four days. Jn.11:39
And when he had thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. Jn.11:43
He that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes; and his face was bound about with a napkin.
Jesus said unto them, Loose him, and let him go. Jn.11:44
- Many bodies of the saints raised entered into the holy city. Matt.27:52-53
And Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit. Matt.27:50
And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake; and the rocks were rent; Matt.27:51
and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised; Matt.27:52
and coming forth out of the tombs after his resurrection they entered into the holy city and appeared unto many. Matt.27:53

The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them,
and each person was judged according to what he had done. Rev.20:13
- The second death is not death either! Rev.20:10
Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. Rev.20:14
- Many wish so much to die! Rev.9:1-6
- And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven fallen unto the earth: and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss. Rev.9:1
- And he opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace;
and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. Rev.9:2

- And it was said unto them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing,
neither any tree, but only such men as have not the seal of God on their foreheads. Rev.9:4
- And it was given them that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months:
and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when it strike a man. Rev.9:5

to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 1Thes.4:16-17

- A human has three lives!
- Bible says: A human has spirit and soul and body! Three lives! 1Thes.5:23
- False preachers and human tell you:
- A human has one life!
- A human has spirit, also called soul and body! Two lives!
The NIV Bible with 115 worked together for 10 years thus translated 1 Thes.5:23 this way!
- At dead of the body what happen?
- Body returns to ground it came from! Ground can be tombs or graves!
