“when ye received the word of God”

“Thy word is truth.”  John 17:17:. Can men sanctify other men? Can God sanctify men? Who is speaking in Verse 17? Where do we find who is speaking in Verse 17? Does Verse 1 of chapter 17 begin “These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father the hour is come;”?  Is Jesus praying to “our Father”? (Verse 17). Is Jesus asking our Father to sanctify us through His truth? How can we be sure that Jesus prayed for us, as well as the Apostles and disciples who believed on Him? Verse 2. Does Jesus, in Verse 2, refer to himself in this prayer in the 3rd person, in his role as “the Son”? 

The Voice of Thy Wife

“Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife ...”

Reference Scripture:  Genesis 3:17

(Proverbs 30:20). In our previous Lesson, Eve’s Story, we drew, from Genesis chapter 4, the thrilling Story of Eve’s triumph over her greatest Enemy! Is it an even greater Foe than those of our own Household, and greater still than Satan and all his unholy Horde? And they are Formidable! Is our greatest Enemy our own Carnal Nature? Pastor Jerry of Christian Reform Fellowship consistently preached “our Flesh hates God!” This Story of Eve’s Triumph plays out for 130 years! The corresponding Triumph is Adam’s Love for his wife that kept him ready to Raise Up a Cover for her to run under! To begin the story [Genesis 4:1-2] we began in Proverbs 30:20 to compare the way of an adulterous woman with Eve’s behavior in the 1st 2 Verses.

(Genesis 3:6). To “…have these things always in remembrance” [2 Peter 1:15] shall we research things we have in time past searched? Might this help us perceive the importance of questions asked? We begin with Responsive Reading:   

       p       6 And when the woman saw that

              the tree was good for food, and that

              it was pleasant to the eyes, and a   

              tree to be desired to make one wise, 

              she took of the fruit thereof, and did

              eat, ... 

                                                Genesis chapter three. 

(1 John 2:16).  Does “all that is in the world” fall under 3 categories

       c      16 For all that is in the world, the 

              lust of the flesh, and the lust of the

              eyes, and the pride of life is not of 

              the Father, but is of the world. 

                                              First John chapter two. 

Using our assignments above, we now enter into a guided responsive reading set forth in our cues on the screen.  Nothing in The Bible will be altered. We are using the screen to get our cues for our participation

       p     ... when the woman saw that the tree 

              was good for food, 

       c     the lust of the flesh, 

       p     and that it was pleasant to the eyes, 

       c     the lust of the eyes, 

       p     and a tree to be desired to make one

              wise, 

       c     and the pride of life, 

Flee From Idolatry

Who are “them” in 1 Corinthians 10:5-6? 

Why does the Apostle Paul rehearse this Ancient History of The Hebrews, in Exodus from Egypt, marching in their order as The Twelve Tribes of Israel, Jacob’s Heirs?  (Verse 6).  “These things were our examples.” Many American pulpits have told us those “Jews” in the wilderness were under the Old CovenantWe are under the New Covenant. We are under Grace

Did Noah find “grace in the eyes of the LORD”? Is every lust, “lust after evil things”?  Or are there lawful lusts as well as unlawful lusts?  What about the lawful lust of a husband for his wife?  If he loses that, she will doubt and then be suspicious! Is Paul’s topic unlawful lusts or “lust after evil things”? 

Of what does Verse 7 remind us in this season of the year? 

Motive for Murder

Reference Scripture:  1 John 3:12

“And wherefore slew he him?”

An assassin(s) killed Charlie Kirk, father of two children and CEO of Turning Point USA! Charlie Kirk fell in the middle of the day before an assembly of better than 3000 people on the campus at Utah Valley University. Charlie’s security team and the campus police were frustrated at being undermanned, unable to secure the perimeter against a trained sniper(s)! [September 10th, 2025] ...

When is the last time we saw this Judgment of our God applied in our War Emergency Powers courtsHas that even occurred in our lifetimes? Who now wants Executions without God’s safeguards for the guiltless?!!! 

Did American Pulpits stop preaching “all the counsel of God”? [Acts 20: 27] Who was the 1st Martyr killed for his Faith? Do we know he was killed for his Faith? When was the 1st Murder in Adam? (Genesis 4:8). Did a child of the Devil slay a child of Adam? 

The Tree

“They took him down from the tree”

Featured Scripture: Acts 13:39 

(John 18:1-2).  There was a location in the garden.  Judas knew “the place”.

What was this place?  Was this place in a garden? Did this place have a name? Golgotha” the Hebrew name for “the place of a skull”.

“The place, which is called Calvary”  If Golgotha and Calvary are “the place” where Jesus and his apostles “ofttimes resorted thither”, is then “the place” where Jesus prayed three times, in agony, to sweat, as it were, drops of blood?! Could it be that “the place” that Judas knew, to where Jesus and the disciples “ofttimes” returned, was “the place” which was the very site of Christ’s Crucifixion?

The Trees in the Garden

By Walter Giddings 

August 31, 2025

(Genesis 3:8-10). The mention of the trees “in the garden” in Genesis 3 notes them to be a hiding place. There are two famous instances in legend and history where a forest of trees provided significant cover for an effective hiding place. David, before he became king, was King Saul’s greatest warrior.  When he fell out of favor with King Saul, David and his men hid themselves in the forest of Haro-sheth. When Robin Hood fell out of favor with Prince John in old England, he and his merry men successfully remained hidden in Sherwood Forest. Even Adam and the woman sought cover among the trees of the garden of Eden! But our Creator and Maker, who alone is God (!), has pursued us all who are born from above, and has drawn us to His Beloved Son Jesus. In His Omnipresence no one can be hidden!

Adam’s Origin

“my delights were with the sons of Adam” Proverbs 8:31

(Job 20:4). One of Job’s friends, Zophar the Naamathite, is making the point “that the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment.”  And he is saying this has always been true, all the way back, to way back!

“Since Adam was placed upon earth” … To what point of time is Zophar referring? When did God do this?

The Concept that God took Adam from another place to place him “upon earth”, and “put him” in the Garden is expressed equally in both Hebrew and English.
