Our ever-constant
command to obey each time we leave our home to any where. We are to
ever-behave as DISCIPLINED LEARNERs & FOLLOWERs of THE LORD JESUS THE CHRIST
(Indwelt by The Holy Spirit -- >>> T#029) obeying HIS command “go and make disciples” EVEN
WITHOUT US BEING TEACHERS (1stJohn 2:27, James 3:1); just merely
by obeying those specific commands in >>>Treatise #010!

As disciples of THE
LORD JESUS THE CHRIST, we are to diligently search every Scripture for truths to
BELIEVE, commands to OBEY & promises to ENJOY. This is how we honor HIM
WHO is our SAVIOR, KING & HIGH PRIEST WHO requires all of us TO BE HIS
PRIESTS (1stPeter 2:5-9, Revelation 1:6) IN THIS WORLD!!!
THE
UNIVERSAL PRIESTHOOD
OF
EVERY DISCIPLE OF THE LORD JESUS THE CHRIST is how THE LORD JESUS wants HIMSELF to be established as SAVIOR, KING & CHIEF PRIEST in
the persons of those “WHOSOEVER WILL” in Romans 10:13!!!!

so we
KEEP COMING
BACK FOR
MORE,
FREQUENTLY!
|
(Heb10:24) We are to make our meetings
opportunities at getting to know how we can
stimulate one another to love and good deeds! We should get to have this kind of attitude
to KNOW and WORK for their fulfillment particularly with those brethren THE
LORD may want us to focus on. Our
universal priesthood requires these of us!!!
(Heb10:25) Our meetings ought
to be our response and answer to our being called-out by THE LORD to be holy, distinctively unique
and separate from those “walang paki” for Godliness in this world. It is in
these meetings of this format that we receive encouragement at the same time encourage
one another, more so needed BECAUSE JESUS IS VERY SOON COMING and we are to
meet HIM in the air, and thus we shall always be with Him holy as HIS called out should be by
then!
(Heb10:26-27) Our meetings of
this format ought to make us ever stronger to convince others who do not
adhere to The Universal Priesthood that JESUS requires of us all and make
them realize now(!) and this early or even late for some now(!), that their old
ineffective practices of requiring their members to “COME & HEAR THEM
ONLY” are sins before GOD and there no longer remains remission for their
sins BUT that terrifying expectation of judgment and the fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries
of GOD --- those who do not follow HIS methodology at making disciples but
make their members just “church goers” according to their own methods and
techniques which they cannot deny are even now giving them troubles!
(Rom14:19) Our meetings are to guide each one of us to
peace! What a great privilege which money cannot buy --- being guided to and guiding others to PEACE!
(Eph4:16) Our meetings are for our
individual personal and company’s growth as we build one another up just like whatever food or medicine
from GOD has been good for our personal bodily health, we confidently share
with those who haven’t tried them, WE ALSO SHARE THOSE SCRIPTURES WE HAVE
EXPERIENCES WITH, TO EACH OF THEM WHO ARE JOINING OUR MEETINGS! (Colossians
2:19)
(Col 3:16) We are to teach and
be taught, admonish and be admonished when we gather AS WE SING SONGS
TOGETHER IN THANKFULNESS TO GOD! >>TRY follow alansbacalso@SPOTIFY "Songs To Understand To TRIGGER WORSHIP"
(Eph5:19) SPEAK TO EACH OTHER with
the lyrics/wordings in our songs & HEARTILY COMMUNICATE OUR GRATEFULNESS TO GOD with the melody in our hearts that accompanies our messages for each
other & to God Himself! This is why --- and we can only
accomplish this in all efficacy --- if we, in all determination dissect and obey
1st Corinthians 14:15!!!
(Acts 2:42) Our continuing
meetings of this format are to show our confidence that soon we will reap further
the fruits of our continuing devotion to
the apostolic teachings, to our fellowships of this kind instead of those
methods resorted to by many of our religious leaders on their members now(!), to the ***breaking of bread in our
homes, from house to house (Acts 2:46, GOD-willing), and to prayer which GOD answers. AND, only then will the truth
in Acts 2:47 be upon us, when The Lord will add to our gatherings such as
those He wants to get saved!
(1st Cor11:23-26) A
very important portion of our meetings particularly on Sundays is to proclaim
by our celebration The Lord Jesus’ death for the remission of our sins UNTIL
HE COMES!
(Acts 14:27) To keep each other
informed of THE LORD’s many works
individually among us regularly meeting each other; and even and more so, from elsewhere as may be brought into
our meetings by visiting brethren!
(1stJohn1:5-7) WE should
have that confidence to claim we have fellowship with The Father and The Son,
even with all our fellow saints whethersoever dispersed whom we have not even
met and known by names - simply because of that same blood of Jesus that cleanses
us all!

>MANY, only on that day, will find themselves MISTAKEN
for having been religious leaders among their own members, seating themselves
as authorities before their own members --- not knowing not only have they
refused JESUS’ instructions for even them whom they categorize as members but
more particularly by their contradicting what JESUS wanted of all of us in
Matthew 23:1-10.
>He is our Brother and High Priest, we are to be directly
accountable to Him and obey His Word without reservation and strictly without
any one to stand between us in our compliance.
>We are not to add nor take away from God’s instructions
for all of us!
>We are to do just as the Lord commanded; neither turn
left nor to the right of it!
>Because it will not be easy, we are to be strong and
courageous; careful in our observance of them; stay centrist of God’s will,
not leftist nor rightist; so that we will be successful wherever we go;
always be scriptural, not to miss meditating on His Word day and night, THAT
WE CAN BE CAREFUL TO DO WHAT IS EXPECTED OF US WITH THOSE PEOPLE whom The
Lord wants us to share eternal life when Jesus comes back from heaven!
>The above 4 scriptures are to be strictly heeded to or
we will certainly fail in our roles because Satan has in store for us
temptations of material wealth NOT EASY TO IGNORE and even if we are able to resist
them, he SHIFTS TO ANOTHER STRATEGY;
just as Balaam did twice (Numbers 24:13), Balaam failed despite he pronounced
twice he could not do anything contrary to God’s commands in exchange for
material wealth; as just the same he was not able to keep the Israelites (by
his death) from the depraved worship
of Baal in Peor because while he was able to keep Balak hoping the Israelites
may be cursed as he went through ritual after ritual, SATAN focused on his
strategy that not only the virgins will be allowed to live from the battle
where he died, all the women were allowed to live contrary to Moses’ command (Numbers
31:1-18)!
>Any body who goes too far, and that includes giving
false hopes instead of outright rejection because it simply is contrary to
God’s confines or being beyond The Christ’s teachings, does not have God while
the one who abides to stay within the confines has both The Father and The
Son!
>We are not to go beyond what is written in The Word of
God for doing so will only result in the authors of those teachings to
becoming ARROGANT AGAINST EACH OTHER!
>While we are just in God’s permissive will, we have to
be certain what His DIRECTIVE WILL is as we proceed in life’s situations.
}Yes, we are to

at being triply certain,

“And daily in the temple, and in every house, they did not
cease teaching and preaching THE LORD JESUS as THE CHRIST.” (the disciples --- continuing to teach and preach in places where
they can, no record though that as disciples, they did their preaching and teaching in the streets.)

>In Jerusalem alone -- as early as Acts 4 yet: “some
5,000 men (not counting their wives & dependents) have already believed
in The Gospel message” because the preachers then believed in preaching THE
GOSPEL MESSAGE only and
that BELIEVING IN THE LORD JESUS THE CHRIST & HIS GOSPEL was GOD’s work (John
6:29)
and not theirs!
>“Now the multitude of those who believed was of one
heart and soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed
was his own, but they had all things in common to share as they individually have to decide upon (Acts 5:1-4).
[It is very clear from verse 4, Christianity is not synonymous with communism
in that everything is of private ownership! Private ownership of properties is
what Christianity espouses. Whether a thing remains with you or you sell it, it
has to be your decision. And even when it gets sold, the whole proceeds
remain your own to control! But in Ananias-Sapphira’s case however, it was THE LORD’s command at their time that in case of sale of their owned lands
and/or houses (only), the whole proceeds without discretion, have to be laid
at the apostles’ feet for distribution to them who have need. And that was
what their mortal sin was!] And with great power the apostles were giving
witness to the resurrection of THE LORD JESUS THE CHRIST, and abundant grace was upon
them. For there was not a needy person among them, for all who were owners of
land or houses did sell them and brought the proceeds of the sales, and laid
them at the apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each, as any had need. [There
are no more apostles in whose feet we in our time may bring and lay whatever
we want to be given to the church; for the church, if ever, to take charge distributing
to each recipient as the need arises! NO! There being no more apostles now,
the church in the locality is limited to being a collection agent for some
saints’ offerings intended for specific beneficiaries in far away places as
was recorded for all of us to heed in 2ndCorinthians 16:1-2, from
the saints in Corinth and Galatia to give to the saints in need specifically in
Jerusalem, strictly in like manner our current employers are authorized by
its employees to collect for and in behalf of the BIR and to remit to the BIR
what otherwise was every individual employee’s amount to pay to the BIR, and
the collecting employer having no say whatsoever to keep some amounts for its
own! The whole lot had to be remitted to the pre-determined needy!!! Hebrews
7:5 is very clear, the Levites had a command to receive tithes from the
people according to the law, but in our time, no religious leader has such
command to receive --- the priesthood having been changed and also the law
(Hebrews 7:12)!]
>Up to end of Acts 5, THE WORD of GOD spread very
rapidly and believers’ number multiplied greatly because administrative &
financial matters did not hinder the spread and understanding of THE WORD! In
fact, A GREAT MANY OF THE PRIESTS WERE BECOMING OBEDIENT TO THE FAITH (Acts 6:7); among
others, heeding the change of priesthood (Hebrews7:12) from the Levitical
priests that they were to this universal priesthood that we all Christians
ought to be --- made very clear for us to heed in 1stPeter2:5,9
& Revelation 1:6! Despite their huge number then (easily 15,000), the
Holy Spirit saw no need for them to come up with a group-owned building to
meet --- a big mistake religious leaders are sinning NOW and with their money
& time spent for instead of for the spread and understanding of The Word
of God! These former Levitical priests realized the truths: under The New
Covenant they and all of us are to behave that,
The New Covenant is in its entirety all new and to be
reckoned with as such without compromise, with The Old Covenant fully supporting its newness.

Start with getting them to obey the DO-or-DIE-COMMANDS The New Covenant, the terms of pardon for our sins, as in the case of rebels
who believe an amnesty may be availed of by a strict compliance to its terms:
1st-- John 8:24, referring to Jesus having died
in our stead to pay for the penalty of our sins we ought to suffer in hell in
eternity and pray they will gladly receive this gospel;
2nd -- Luke 13:3,5, which command is beyond our
words to emphasize further because Jesus Himself reiterated it most
emphatically within the same breath;
3rd -- 2ndThess1:8-9 referring to
THE GOSPEL OF PRIME IMPORTANCE WE HAVE TO OBEY by identifying ourselves in The Christ’s death and burial of our old self and to walk thereafter in
resurrection to a new life as recorded in 1stCorinthians 15:1-4;
and, (last but not the least BECAUSE ALL THESE ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT TO EACH
OTHER FOR ALL OF US TO OBEY), the
4th -- Matthew 10:32-33 in clear reiteration of
the truths in Romans 10:9-10 that BELIEVING ONLY does not make us
children of God right that instant because it takes some time
after with our heart we BELIEVE, that that belief will get us to God’s righteousness such as
repenting, getting baptized not for any other reason but for the remission of
sins (Acts 2:38-- after the 3,000 believed, with which we should identify ourselves!)…….
That if we die that very minute we are saved but as we continue to live, we sin……. and confession
has to be repeatedly made unto our salvation, as we obey in righteousness ---
we are cleansed from all
unrighteousness as revealed and taught us in 1st John 1:8-9)”

1. Them who are skeptical that there is such a thing as
THE ELEMENTARY TEACHINGS for THE CHRIST’s Disciples to learn and apply as recorded in
Hebrews 5:10- 6:3; instead convince their converts TO BELIEVE ONLY without
their sins dealt with, and they become churchgoers only instead of forever
live as disciples of THE LORD JESUS THE CHRIST.
2. Them who have to be convinced that there is absolutely
no conflict with what Paul is teaching us ALL ABOUT GRACE & FAITH in all his
epistles; particularly because in Romans Chapter 1:5 immediately after his
greeting, the word grace and faith appeared in this epistle for the first
time as FAITH that has to be obeyed from the GRACE that we received, FAITH
THAT OBEYS as it was received by us as GRACE, or to quote: “through Him we
have received grace ….for obedience to the faith among all nations for His
name!”
Romans 10:9 is also very clear that if we confess with our
mouth THE LORD JESUS and believe in our heart that GOD has raised HIM from
the dead, we are STILL TO BE (“will be”) SAVED, not outright by our
believing only! Romans 10:10 is also very clear, that first we
have to believe with our heart unto righteousness, that our believing should
first bring us to anything else but righteousness such as what Felix did not
do, REPENT (Acts 24:24-25); and what THE LORD JESUS HIMSELF did in Matthew
3:13-15 before HE started HIS public ministry. As we believe, from faith to
faith in THE GOSPEL of THE CHRIST, we are to obey to the righteousness revealed
therein (Romans 1:16-17), BEFORE WITH OUR MOUTH WE CONFESS unto
salvation! Romans 16:26 by way of closing this book on faith
emphasized “for the obedience of the faith” !!!!

We should seek to obey in all particularity what we have
come to be confronted with in our bible readings & studies, and do not
complain if we meet dissatisfactions because we really have not complied with
to the fullest to the truths and commands thereof! We reap what we sow!
“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a
workman who does not need to be ashamed, dispensing accurately The Word of
Truth!”
Be concerned with what The Lord has promised in His Word
and keep on obeying the truths and commands because they are the way to the
realization of His promises!
Recall in earnestness, what The Lord has promised!
Find out if they are coming true, one after another!
Find out if you have just obeyed to be competitive with
your acquaintances and peers. Get into your motives in your obedience.
Seek to establish if it is the current and valid covenant
that you are basing your expectations and hope!
Make sure it is THE NEW COVENANT because it is the
covenant which has been ratified by the death of Jesus after which there
cannot be any additions, amendments, or disregard of any portion without the
one adding, amending or ignoring severely punished when He comes! THIS IS A
TAKE-IT or LEAVE-IT WILL of Jesus OUR SAVIOR! Do not entertain the idea of
ever negotiating with Him on your terms!
WE are without excuse whatsoever if we ever ignore THIS

the Lord Himself!!! Because of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38) – our bodies have become HIS temple (1stCor
3:16) and we don’t have to be anywhere to worship Him; then, we have no need
for a priest to administer for us our offerings because the perfect offering
has already been offered once and for all; and we ourselves have become a
royal priesthood (Hebrews 7:12,; Rev 1:6, 1stPeter 2:5,9) as we have become a kingdom of priests

soils as Jesus Himself explains for our soul-searching
for our personal benefit & efficacy in our work for The
Lord Jesus!
|
THE WORD OF GOD is THE SEED that God wants to get
scattered INDISCRIMINATELY as the way of sowing without pressuring the
hearers -for their eventual fruit-bearing. It is the kind of soil that it
gets into that determines the process that it gets into the fruit-bearing
process. It is the situation and attitude and stand of the hearers TOWARD THE
WORD that is the kind of soil!
1- hearers
by the roadside (where
worldly activities and abundance regularly go through) lay
bare the seed in favor of his preferred worldly activities and Satan who rules this world
keep it away fast and easy practically right that moment it reached him!
2- hearers
on the rocky ground (where
there is only a
thin layer of soil to bury the seed) gets the seed to sprout fast but just as
fast dies because of lack of understanding of how it ought to get rooted by
thickening the layer of soil as to change the prevailing situation it had
fallen!
3- hearers
among the thorns (where
the soil in itself is fertile enough) but the worldly
concerns gets 1st preference over spiritual matters!
4- hearers
on the good ground (where
spiritual matters naturally grow, multiply and bear fruit)
and takes the New Covenant and lives it and bears the fruit of the Holy
Spirit of love, joy and peace in himself; patience, kindness and goodness for
others; and faithfulness, gentleness and self-control towards God!

be discouraged because this is God’s way of sowing under the “whosoever will”
concept of God’s salvation with these kinds of hearers we are to influence to
make them fruit-bearing in due time:
1- by being there when
they are frustrated as God
would led them in their worldly pursuits, even if the Word earlier planted on
them may have earlier been taken away by Satan!
2- by providing them the
kind of inspirations as
early as they were planted with the Word of God until they grow in stability,

The
State
Of eVERY
COMPONENT
of Man
when
OUR
Body
Dies
|
#1 - The body
portion of our 3-fold totality; our flesh coming from the earth that makes us
occupy space, have weight & shape because of which THIS PORTION (alone),
our outermost part is subject to time & space & will inevitably die
to this material world!
#2 – The spirit
(human) & innermost part of our 3-fold totality, which came from God
directly through His breath imparted on the lifeless dust THE ESSENCE OF
LIFE; without which, we cease to exist on earth.
#3 - OUR SOUL
– THE INNER MAN in us, which being
the result of the merger between the dust constituting the body & God’s
breath which is our spirit, is constantly torn between being spiritual and
carnal!
While being
torn between being spiritual & carnal, we are to take heed of our Creator
LONG BEFORE WE DIE, while young in fact -- because when the body dies &
returns to dust, the spirit goes to God Who gave it!
After death, God
will however redeem OUR SOUL -- the Inner Man in us which was separated from
God by sin TO BE once again with God (on certain conditions)!
After our body’s storage in death on the grave, our SOUL
is to face judgment on THE LIFE we lived torned between being spiritual and
carnal!
Judgment TO BE based
on THE FAITH (John 12:48) which has to be obeyed by us, while we are in our
bodies!
After we die, our
totality shall be totally cut off in our consciousness with our environment that used to be around us because our
relationship with the world was based on the body!
~On the day
we die, our past stops there!
~ On the day we
die, our plans of the future while in the body come to nothing! We have no
more future in this world.
WE shall be judged
by THE ONE LAWGIVER & JUDGE – Jesus Christ WHO will either save us or
condemn us according to how we fared with His Word (John 12:48)!
That JESUS is the God-appointed-&-ordained JUDGE of
The Living & The Dead.
Because He Himself lived & died!
There is hope &
resurrection of the dead.
There is hope &
resurrection EVEN FOR BOTH
the righteous & the wicked.
And for as
long as we RIGHTLY availed of the SAME
amnesty conditions set for all - - JEWS & GENTILES alike on Pentecost Day,
A.D. 33 by virtue of Christ’s resurrection & thereafter live as dead to
sin, we are destined to eternal LIFE!
And for as long as
THE AMNESTY CONDITIONS were rightly obeyed & adhered to resulting in our being indwelt by The
Holy Spirit,& the purposes & intents of Matthew 28:20 obeyed &
followed thereafter by us, even our dead bodies will be made alive
at JESUS’s 2nd coming from
heaven!
Our material
body will be exchanged with a spiritual one & death will not anymore have
power over it, it will be for life in eternity.

Marriage Ordained of GOD!
|
While it is true that marriage
is ordained of God, such is not obligatory nor a privilege nay for man’s comfort!
God’s explicit purpose for it is FOR SEXUAL IMMORALITY TO BE AVOIDED (1stCor.7:2)
among us. Contrary to the world’s beliefs, we can still go through life MOST
HAPPY without being immoral in our sexuality. It starts with not touching that
woman until marriage…& for that matter a woman not allowing herself to be touched until she is given in marriage!
That’s the rationale for the crime of rape. The MUSLIMS & THE CHINESE in
observing the BUYA system are in keeping with this tenet to the shame of
Christians who ignore this God-given rule! Read the whole of 1st
Corinthians 7:1-40 and seek the truths written between the lines…. WHAT OUR
ATTITUDES SHOULD BE WHEN the prohibition in verse 1 is ignored!!!

OBLIGATIONS
of the
HUSBAND
to His

|
The starting & encompassing
obligation a man goes into marriage should be that OF HIS OWN FREE WILL &
ACCORD, he is committed TO LOVE & WILL LOVE TILL DEATH the woman he is to
marry. Again this is why the Muslims & the Chinese are in better shape
than we Christians are. Their respective families tell the new couple MAKE DO
OF YOUR MARRIAGE! So unlike our western influenced custom now – they express
their love for each other, put it into limited practice before marriage…
& when already married they find loving difficult, they don’t want to
make do of their marriage & many end-up in sexual immorality!

Being in extreme difficulties at present should not
put us to doubt our being IN CHRIST even as we preach HIS WORD more
vigorously because of His grand purpose for our present state of beings.

“To this present hour, we are
both hungry and thirsty, and are poorly clothe, and are roughly treated, and
are homeless; and we toil, working with our own hands; when we are reviled,
we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure; when we are slandered, we answer
kindly. Up to this moment, we have become the scum of the earth, the refuse
of the world! ”
We have nothing to be proud of,
power and influence to boast, neither wisdom nor strength BUT we have been
chosen to be righteous, holy, and redeemed TO BE EFFECTIVE FOR Jesus!
Our absolute insufficiency
reveals the total sufficiency of God
because our weaknesses are to God jars that cover and conceal the treasure
that is the grace we received --- the gospel message we are bringing around
per God’s command! For we aremenwhile to be like one scheduled to transfer to

Duties

Fathers, with the full assistance & help of the mothers
ARE NOT TO EXASPERATE TO RESENTMENT their children but are to rear them

Parents are TO TRAIN and not just teach their children! We
have not trained until there is a change in behavior of the ones we are
teaching!
Parents are to provide our children with what to God
(first of all) and (then) to men would be increasing wisdom, stature, favor
and acceptance!
LOVE children!
[With unity in purpose & consistency between the
couple --- CHILDREN are to be CORRECTED DILIGENTLY with the MEASURES OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS as ROD --- disciplinary
measures for the chastening of their intelligences, emotions, urges &
appetites & wills --- most especially while still young! (aron makat-on

Through His death &
resurrection, He became THE FIRST BORN! (Romans 8:29)
Because of His death &
resurrection, MANY OF US HAVE BECOME
SONS of GOD! (1stPeter
1:3)
To Jesus – THE SON- in His resurrected
status, we are His many brothers! (John 20:17); and He is not ashamed to call
us HIS brothers! (Hebrews 2:11)
With
more reason we should just behave as a brother to another brother or brothers
as He sampled for us! (Matthew 23:8-10)
To HIS BODY –
we are the parts thereof! (Romans 12:4-5); responsible for each others’
well-being & the whole body’s growth!
(Ephesians
4:16)
|
{Before the foundation of the world!
That we should be holy & without blame before Him in
love!
Predestined by Jesus Christ to adoption as SONs to Himself
According to the good pleasure of His will!}
Despite our rebellion to Him, we have been given the
authority to become CHILDREN of GOD!
Jesus THE SON came to earth with The Father IN HIM --- to
be and was for that duration of His incarnation -- God’s TEMPLE. His desire was after His resurrection, we
be born again (of The Spirit) AS SONs to become the components of the new TEMPLE
of God – The Church – HIS BODY of which individually we are a part of !
We were resurrected with Him when Christ was raised from
the dead!
Through that one-time resurrection of Jesus, we have all
been born again, as SONs of God, composing the New TEMPLE of GOD!
The Church – The New TEMPLE of God was built by The Lord
Jesus on Pentecost Day, A.D.33.
With Jesus as the chief corner stone, we are being built
up with Him as a spiritual house and a holy priesthood --- in THE NEW
JERUSALEM!
Since Pentecost Day, A.D.33, God is still bringing many of
HIS SONs to glory, by keeping them always Spirit-lead!
The entire fallen creation, now continuing to be
corrupted, eagerly are expecting to SEE US IN GLORY --- our FULL REDEMPTION,
when our bodies shall be transfigured into a GLORIOUS BODY.
