Bible Alive Jesus Christ 012: "Jesus is LORD!"BibleAlive
See what Son of God (a Davidic title) meant for the earliest Christians illuminated by Easter. Discover the significance of the Pauline formula: “the Son of God according to the Spirit of Holiness.” Learn how the earliest believers, having experienced the Risen Christ, could dare to think Jesus is God. See that when Jesus’ divinity is expressed conceptually in the New Testament, the drama of our redemption appeared in a new light. Finally, in respect we look at the Old Testament’s relationship to the New.
This is an example of the enriched inductive Bible study method. The traditional 3 step inductive Bible study method is basically O.I.A. -- observation, interpretation, and application. The 6 step enrich version includes praying and empathizing. The acronym is U.O.I.E.A.Y. which stands for urging, observing, interpreting, empathizing, application, and yearning. Urging means urging God to make His words effective in our life starting from our studying His words seriously. Yearning means based on all the first 5 steps turn each verse into a prayer. May God fulfills upon you the words that you earnestly seek to experience. Amen.
The written records of the revelation of the God of the Bible in the form of the 66 books were given by God progressively. He gave Moses the first five books and possibly Job as well. This presentation attempts to show that the first word of in the Hebrew version of Genesis 1 is the cornerstone word of the 66 books. It also implied the most unique nature of the three Gods -- Elohim Et in Genesis 1:1, Ruah Elohim in Genesis 1:2, and Elohim in Genesis 1:3 -- ever-living, original, not created, not made, not born, not issue, not borrowed, not part of someone else.

These characters seem to be evidence that the people who coined the characters have the knowledge of the accounts in the book Genesis of the Bible. The Bible accounts can explain better the designs of the characters better than those of the ancient etymology book "說文解字". These correlations helps us Chinese to choose to learn more about the Gods of our ancestors and to choose to accept Them as our Gods or not. I have accepted Them and blessed by Them. I hope that this sharing is helpful to you as well.

English inductive bible study on Romans 1:1-6Chin-Lee Chan
Teaching about the enhanced Inductive Bible Study Method through studying the Epistle to the Romans -- from Observation, Interpretation, and Application to Urge, Observe, Interpret, Empathize, and Apply.
This is an inductive Bible study handout in Chinese on Romans 1:1-7. The outstanding position on the understanding of this study is that the spirit of holiness is about the human spirit of Jesus is sinless, righteous, and merciful like that of God the Father and therefore he was declared fully qualified as the son of God by God the Father through raising him from the dead.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
1. An integration of the Special
Revelation (the Bible) and the General
Revelation (the Creation)
By
Chin-Lee Chan
February 2011
2. The author of the story [ 十二生肖 兩兩 相對 ] about the Chinese
Zodiac of animals is very insightful about God's general revelation, His
Creation, reflection His characters. Like the teaching in Proverbs, God
encourages lazy people to learn from ants. “Go unto the ant, O slothful one,
See her ways and be wise.” Proverbs 6:6
In response to the challenge of the author of the excellent story [ 十二
生肖 兩兩 相對 ], “ 不知道你們那些寶瓶座啊、射手座啊、公羊座啊,體
現了你們祖先哪些期望和要求?也希望不吝賜教。 “ as a Christian, I
like to share a Christian interpretation of the Middle East and Western
Zodiac.
I have adapted the interpretation from some research studies. In
God's Creation, His general revelation, He used the 12 constellations of
the Zodiac like a 12-scene story to reveal the 12 highlights in total of the
life and works of His Son, Jesus Christ; and then the works of Jesus
Christ’s Successor, the Holy Spirit; and then the life and works of Jesus
Christ’s followers; and then back to His own works.
For this ring of 12 constellations, God has begun the story by the
constellation called Virgin.
(May I give credit to Wikipedia as the source of the pictures in this
presentation.)
3. As in the account of
Christmas, a virgin, Mary,
gave birth to Jesus, the
Savior of the World about
2011 years ago.
Virgin Mary and her
miraculous pregnancy
was a fulfillment of a
prophecy in the Hebrew
Bible: “and enmity I put
between thee and the
woman, and between thy
seed and her seed; he doth
bruise thee -- the head,
and thou dost bruise him
-- the heel.” Genesis 3:15
4. John the Baptizer was the
herald for Jesus and
proclaimed the judgment
of God, " and saying --
'Fulfilled hath been the
time, and the reign of God
hath come nigh, reform
ye, and believe in the
good news.’“ Mark 1:15
John was also a fulfillment
a prophecy in the Hebrew
Bible : “A voice is crying
-- in a wilderness --
Prepare ye the way of
Jehovah, Make straight in
a desert a highway to our
God.” Isaiah 40:3
5. Satan is the Scorpion who tried
to kill Jesus through hi s sting,
Herod the King with all the
children of two years of age or
younger in Bethlehem, Jesus’
birth city, soon after he heard
about Jesus’ birth.
This massacre was also
prophesized by a prophecy in
the Hebrew Bible, “Thus said
Jehovah, A voice in Ramah is
heard, wailing, weeping most
bitter, Rachel is weeping for her
sons, She hath refused to be
comforted for her sons, because
they are not.” Jeremiah 31:15
6. Jesus was both divine and
human like the Archer who
was both human and animal.
Even though Satan tempted
Him often, He lived a kind,
helpful, and sinless life. By
doing so, He was aiming to
destroy the wicked works of
Satan, and eventually Satan,
the leader of the fallen
angels. Jesus was the Seed of
the Woman, a fulfillment of
a prophecy in the Hebrew
Bible: “and enmity I put
between thee and the
woman, and between thy
seed and her seed; he doth
bruise thee -- the head, and
thou dost bruise him -- the
heel.” Genesis 3:15
7. Goat was the atonement
sacrifice in the sacrificial system
in the Hebrew Bible. Fish in
Greek is Ichthys, an acrostic for
"Jesus Christ, God's son,
savior“. Jesus was the
blameless atonement Goat
offered and died on the wood
cross and buried and
resurrected with a glorified
body and appearing to more
than 500 people.
He was fulfilling the related
prophecies of the Hebrew Bible
to proof to us that He is the
Christ , the Son of God and the
Savior of the World, including
us , the Chinese people.: “and
Aaron hath brought near the
goat on which the lot for
Jehovah hath gone up, and hath
made it a sin-offering.”
8. Jesus Christ was the Water
Bearer and the Holy Spirit was
the water. About 40 days after
His resurrection, Jesus Christ
ascended to return to Heaven
so that, for one of the purposes,
He could baptize His followers
with the Holy Spirit, His divine
Successor, especially at the Feast
of Pentecost. He was
empowering them to be the
witness of His resurrection by
the Holy Spirit.
This powerful experience was a
fulfillment of a prophecy in the
Hebrew Bible, “And also on the
men-servants, and on the maid-
servants, In those days I do
pour out My Spirit.” Joel 2:28
9. Fish in the Greek language is
Ichthys, an acrostic for "Jesus
Christ, God's son, savior“.
Jesus was one of the two fish
and the Holy Spirit was
another similar fish. One
followed the other.
The Holy Spirit followed
Jesus Christ , the Son of God,
the Savior of the World to be
Another Comforter to the
followers of Jesus, so that
they can help the rest of the
world to be followers of
Jesus Christ.
10. Paul and other apostles
and disciples of Jesus
Christ was like a ram that
lower its head and runs
courageously and quickly.
By the guidance of the
Holy Spirit, Paul and
other apostles and
disciples sacrificially
rammed through many
parts of the world to
witness for Jesus Christ,
the Savior of the World,
even us the Chinese
people.
11. Paul and other apostles and
disciples of Jesus Christ was
also like a bull which ploughs
powerfully and kindly and
then dies sacrificially.
By the power of the Holy Spirit
of God, Paul and other apostles
and many disciples healed the
sick, helped people to believe
in Jesus Christ and then most of
them died as martyrs for Jesus
Christ like a bull offered to the
three Deities in one and only
one heavenly corporate Trio of
the Hebrew Bible which could
have influenced the way how
the bull was sacrificed in China
to Heaven on the three-tier
Circular Mound Altar ( 圜丘坛 )
of the Temple of Heaven ( 天坛
) with three three-tier temples
with gates of three entrances
( 三灵门 ).
12. Jesus Christ and Christians,
His followers, are like
identical twins with special
connection and similarities.
By the grace of the Holy
Spirit, Paul and other
apostles and many disciples,
including Dr. Sun Yat-Sen,
the Father of Republic of
China, a Cantonese
physician, became so much
like Christ in characters that
they were called Christians,
the followers of Christ or
imitators of Christ or the
doers of what Christ have
done and is doing now in
Heaven as our Advocate,
Petitioner, and High Priest .
13. Satan is like a crab, a scorpion
without a sting. a bottom feeder,
a scavenger, and a deviant
which walks in sideways.
When Christ will return to take
His twin brothers and sisters to
His Father's House in Heaven,
the New Jerusalem City and He
put the rest of the living human
being to rest, Satan will become
weaker like a scorpion turned
into a sideway walking crab, a
scorpion without the venomous
stinging tail and can do less
harm like a infamous and
notorious godfather convicted
and chained in a federal prison
with his fallen angelic followers,
the demons to be his
companions.
14. Jesus Christ will rule the Universe
like a lion rules a forest . Lions like
other predators prey on the sick
ones by their Maker’s design.
When He returns to Earth with His
twin siblings in the New Jerusalem
City. He will resurrect the unsaved
sinners. Satan will lead them,
besides the demons to attack Jesus
Christ and His twin siblings. Jesus
Christ will destroy Satan and his
following demons and the
resurrected unsaved sinners with
the Lake of Fire. He will renew the
Earth and its sky into the New
Heaven and the New Earth. There
will be no more sins, scams, crimes,
injustice, disasters, sickness, sorrow,
separations, or death. . They will
eliminated like a sick animal eaten
by a lion. Jesus Christ and His twin
siblings will live happy ever after.
