CHRISTIANITY IN THE HEAVENS

Hi – My name is Sandy and I’m glad you stopped by! I consider myself Christian in belief, although some of the beliefs I hold are not considered “orthodox” by many.

For one thing, I do not subscribe to the doctrine of the Trinity. Why not? Well, for me to profess belief in the Trinity doctrine would mean that I wouldn’t be able to believe that the Christ is truly the Father’s only begotten Son. I very much believe that the scriptures plainly teach that the Son of God is truly God’s Son, born to Him in eternity past. I also believe that our salvation depends on the ability to fully abide into Christ, and the ability to fully abide in Christ rests firmly on the belief that the Christ is truly God’s only begotten Son from eternity past. From my perspective, God gave His only begotten Son for us, not to appease some kind of anger or to render Him able to somehow “forgive” us, but to prove how much He really does love and accept us while, at the same time, shining a light on the path of deliverance that can only be found in His beloved Son. It is only through our realization of the depth of the Father’s love for us that the inward condition of our hearts can be changed – and this depth of love can only begin to be realized when we believe, without doubt, that the Christ is truly God’s Son.

Now I realize that some might say that the Trinity doctrine is a mystery and that, because of our human limitations, we are not really able to understand God’s character or His Godhead clearly – so we should simply believe and profess the doctrine of the Trinity even though we can’t fully understand it. To this, I would have to present Romans 1:19-20:

Romans 1:19-20

¹⁹Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

²⁰For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

From my perspective, Romans 1:19-20 clearly tells us that we surely can understand God’s eternal power and Godhead. Based on this information, along with the belief that the scriptures do, indeed, teach us who God and His Son are, my choice has been to remain a non-trinitarian Christian believer.

Is there a standard set forth in the Bible whereby one can know whether or not the belief they hold is Christian? I believe there is, and it’s found in Romans 10:8-10:

Romans 10:8-10

⁸But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

⁹That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

¹⁰For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

I also tend to believe that life everlasting in Christ is found in the understanding and application of spiritual concepts as presented in the scriptures. I do believe that literal truths are also gleaned through Bible study but, for me, the true life changing understanding manifests itself through the spiritual lessons that are found throughout the Bible as the Christ presents them to my heart within.

Isaiah 55:8-9

⁸For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

⁹For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

It’s my belief that if God’s way of thinking is higher than ours is, we can only really understand what He wants us to know if we’re willing to set aside our own fallen, carnal understanding and abide into Christ so that He can teach us the way the Father understands all things. The scriptures are full of life changing spiritual truths is only we’ll abide into Christ and listen carefully to that still, small voice that lives within each of our minds.

John 17:21-23

²¹That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

²²And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

²³I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

John 14:16-21

¹⁶And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

¹⁷Even 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.

¹⁸I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

¹⁹Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

²⁰At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

²¹He 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.

I am convinced that God loves each and every one of us more than we can understand, and that it is His desire that we be fully reconciled to Him through His precious Son. That can only happen as we allow Christ to renew our way of thinking so that we can be cleansed and sanctified from the inside out.

By God’s grace, this website is dedicated to presenting Bible studies from a spiritual point of view. May God bless you abundantly as you are renewed in the spirit of your mind in Christ.

1 Corinthians 2:16

¹⁶For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

1 Corinthians 2:6-8

⁶Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:

⁷But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

⁸Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

Proverbs 25:2

²It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

Our thoughts are like birds..

When they fly freely in the heavens,

Nothing can touch them, nor evil befall them;

If they fly down to earth,

They might be trapped, held in captivity and even killed

By the evil forces that be..

Wherefore we are admonished to keep our thoughts

Flying in the safety of the heavens,

For only there are we free

From the snare of the fowler..

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Matthew 11:28-30
