1 John 5
5:1 Whosoever believeth [Believes] that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: [Born from above.] and every one that loveth [Loves] Him [Yahveh] that begat loveth [Loves] Him [Jesus Christ] also that is begotten [Born] of Him. [Of Yahveh]
[In other words if you love Jesus Christ you love Yahveh.]
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep His commandments.
[We have oneness in Jesus Christ in as much as we are the many membered body of Christ.]
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep [Are doers of] His commandments: and His commandments are not grievous. [Grievous meaning burdensome.]
[Yahveh’s [God’s] commandments are truth, and the truth set’s you free.]
4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: [They are overcommers.] and this is the victory that overcometh [Overcomes] the world, even our faith.
[To overcome the world you must put Yahveh/Jesus Christ first in your life by doing His will. His will is for you to be a doer of His word.]
[In Hebrews 11:6 Yahveh [God] tells us about faith. Lets go their.]
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him: [Yahveh] for he [Or she] that cometh [Comes] to God [Yahveh] must believe that He [Yahveh] is, [Real] and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently [Sincerely] seek Him.
[Without faith you would have no works for Yahveh. Without works and faith Yahveh [God] will not acknowledge your prayers and your repentance prayers for your sins because He will not be pleased. If you please Yahveh [God] you will have blessing and rewards in heaven.]
[Let’s return to 1 John 5:5.]
5 Who is he [Or she] that overcometh [Overcomes] the world, [Worldly things] but he [Or she] that believeth [Believes] that Jesus is the Son of God?
[The only people that overcome the world are those that believe in Yahshua [Jesus Christ] and put him first in their lives by doing His will sincerely to the best of their ability.]
6 This is He [He overcame the world.] that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. [In other words Jesus Christ came by the water and blood of the womb.] And it is the Spirit [The Holy Spirit] that beareth [Bears] witness [Beareth witness meaning it testifies of], because the Spirit is truth.
[The Holy Spirit bears the truth of the Baptism, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.]
7 For there are three [Witnesses] [The words following the first word three in this verse are not in the Greek manuscripts, they are added by man so ignore them.] that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, [The words and there are three that bear witness in earth are not in the Greek manuscripts so ignore them] the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
[Therefore verses 7&8 combined should read, for there are three [Witnesses] the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and they agree in one.]
[They are in agreement, and they give you salvation on earth.]
9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: [It is far greater then men.] for this is the witness of God which He hath [Has] testified of His Son.
[Yahveh’s [God’s] witness is always true; He does not bear false witness. On the other hand the witness of man because of satan sometimes is not true. Yahveh [God] testified of Jesus Christ approximately 1000 years before His birth in Psalms 22.]
10 He [Man or woman] that believeth [Believes] on the Son of God hath [Has] the witness in himself: [Or herself] [He or she witnesses also] he [Or she] that believeth not [Doesn’t believe] God [Yahveh] hath [Has] made him [Yahveh] a liar; because he [Or she] believeth [Believes] not the record [The record is the prophecies in the Old Testament.] that God [Yahveh] gave of His Son.
[Without faith you would have no works for Yahveh. Without works and faith Yahveh [God] will not acknowledge your prayers and your repentance prayers for your sins because He will not be pleased.]
11 And this is the record, [It’s the word of Yahveh] that God [Yahveh] hath [Has] given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
[Eternal life is thru and by Yahveh’s [God’s] son if, IF is conditional, IF you put Jesus Christ first in your life by doing his will sincerely to the best of your ability he will give you eternal life. If you don’t study the Bible you will not know what his will and commandments are.]
12 He [He or she] that hath [Has] the Son [Jesus Christ] hath [Has] life; [In other words he or she has eternal life, life without end.] and he [He or she] that hath [Has] not the Son of God [Yahveh] hath [Has] not life. [Eternal life]
[He [or she] has satan, and are spiritually dead at that time.]
[A soul [Person] that doesn’t have Jesus Christ [The Holy Spirit] between now and The Great White Throne Judgment will suffer the 2nd death which is the death of their soul and therefore will not have eternal life. The first death is the death of your flesh body.]
[There is a one thousand year teaching period between the return of our Lord Jesus Christ and when satan will be turned loose to deceive whomsoever he will just before The Great White Throne Judgment. During that one thousand year period of time discipline in Yahveh’s [God’s] word will be taught to people who didn’t overcome satan while in their flesh bodies. To overcome satan while in your flesh body you must put Yahshua [Jesus Christ] first in your life by sincerely doing His will to the best of your ability. You must be a doer of His word.]
13 These things have I [St. John] written unto [To] you that believe on the name of the Son of God; [Jesus Christ] that ye [You] may know that ye [You] have eternal life, and that ye [You] may believe on the name of the Son of God.
[In other words John is saying he has written these things to you that believe.]
14 And this is the confidence that we have in Him, [In Yahveh] that, if we ask any thing according to His will, He heareth [Hears] us:
[St. John didn’t say Yahveh [God] would give you anything you asked for. He said Yahveh [God] would give you what you asked for if it was His will.]
[If what you ask for is not Yahveh’s [God’s] will you don’t want it.]
[Yahveh [God] wants you to ask for things to help bring His children to following Him so He can give them eternal life. He doesn’t want you asking for material things. He knows what you need.]
15 And if we know that He [Yahveh] hear [Hears] us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions [The things asked.] that we desired of Him.
[We know that He heard us.]
16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, [In an intercessory prayer] and He [Yahveh] 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.
[You don’t pray for a person who has blasphemed the Holy Spirit. The sin onto death is to blaspheme the Holy Spirit. To blaspheme the Holy Spirit is to not let the Holy Spirit speak thru you as written in St Luke 12:10-12. Let’s go there.]
St. Luke 12:10-12
10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, [Jesus Christ] it shall be forgiven him: [It will be forgiven upon repentance.] but unto him [Or her] that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost [The Holy Spirit] it shall not be forgiven.
11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, [Churches of satan] and unto magistrates, and powers, [The ten world rulers, their world system.] take ye [You] no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
12 For the Holy Ghost [The Holy Spirit] shall teach you in the same hour what ye [You] ought to [Should] say. The hour is written about in St Mark 13:11 and Revelation 3:40. Lets go to St. Mark 13:11 first then to Revelation 3:40.]
St. Mark 13:11
11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: [Don’t plan it out] but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye [You] that speak, but the Holy Ghost. [Holy Spirit]
Revelation 3:10
Because thou [You] hast [Have] kept the word of My patience, [This word, Jesus Christ is speaking here, He is the word.] I also will keep thee [You] from the hour of temptation, [Temptation meaning trial. The hour of temptation is the five month period when satan the anti [Instead of] Christ will be here on earth.] which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
[It will be a trial to people on earth at that time.]
[The 5 month period spoken of is documented in Revelation 9:5 and Revelation 5:10.]
[Let’s return to 1 John 5:17.]
17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
[Unrighteousness is doing anything against Yahveh’s [God’s] law and will.]
[We all fall short of being perfect because we are all sinners, and sin is what repentance is all about. IF we as individuals are putting Jesus Christ first in our lives and doing our best to obey him we as individuals can repent of our sin and ask Yahveh [God] for forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ and be forgiven. By being able to repent your sins are forgiven and you are a righteous person in the eyes of the Lord because you obeyed his commandment to repent of your sins. Jesus Christ gave us this commandment in St. Matthew 3:2, and 4:17, St. Luke 13:3&5, and Revelation 2:5,16,22, and Revelation 3:3&19.]
18 We know that whosoever is born of God [Yahveh] sinneth not; [We know that he or she is not a habitual sinner.] but he that is begotten of God [Jesus Christ is the only begotten son of Yahveh.] keepeth [Keeps] Himself, and that wicked one [satan] toucheth [Touched] Him not.
[Jesus Christ was perfect; satan could not lead Him astray.]
19 And we know that we are of God, [Yahveh] and the whole world [The ways of the world.] lieth [lays] in wickedness.
[Wickedness is lying, stealing, cheating, and breaking the law of Yahveh [God] as written in the Old Testament.]
20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath [Has] given us an understanding, [In other words Jesus Christ gave us wisdom in His word.] that we may know Him that is true, and we are in Him that is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
[Jesus Christ was Emmanuel, Yahveh [God] with us in a flesh body, and because of our understanding and wisdom of His word we will not follow the anti [Instead of] Christ satan.
satan will appear on earth when the sixth trumpet sounds. Our Lord Jesus Christ returns when the seventh trumpet sounds five months after satan appears on earth. There is no rapture. Don’t be deceived.]
21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
[In other words don’t worship anything or anybody other then Yahveh.
[If you have time to watch TV, and to do other worldly things in your life, and don’t have a half hour a day to spend in Yahveh’s [God’s] word you have idols.]
