Fellowship with GOD
Fellowship
with GOD. This class teaches who GOD is and how to have
fellowship with GOD. It presents what the Bible says about the
CREATOR of the heavens and the earth, His proper name "Yahweh,"
His Son Jesus, His gift of holy spirit, and why both GOD, the
Father, and the lamb of GOD, Jesus Christ, are called "Lord."
Through careful Bible study, the Fellowship with GOD class also
presents what the Holy Bible says about angels, heaven, the devil
and his evil spirits, and how to become and live effectively as a
Christian.
Fellowship with GOD
begins with the first verse in the Bible, Genesis 1:1, which
states that GOD (Hebrew: elohim) created the heavens and
the earth. The class challenges people to decide: do we believe
what the Holy Bible says in that very first verse or not. If we
decide that we do believe that GOD exists and that He created the
heavens and the earth, then we can move on to learning that GOD
is a real, living, spiritual being and that He can talk with
human beings--through the Bible, through angels, through
prophets, through dreams, and through His Son,
Jesus.
Fellowship with GOD
continues by presenting the will of GOD from the Bible. It
especially focuses on showing that the words "the LORD" in the
Old Testament of most English Bibles are actually the one Hebrew
word hwhy (often written "YHWH" or "YHVH")--approximately
transliterated and pronounced as "Yahweh" ("yah-way") in English.
This Hebrew word occurs more than 6,800 times in the Hebrew Old
Testament (according to the Blue Letter Bible (http://www.BlueLetterBible.org)--more
than twice as often as the main Hebrew word translated "God"
(Hebrew: elohim)--is actually the (proper) name of GOD,
the CREATOR.
Fellowship with GOD
discusses what Yahweh, the living GOD, had revealed in the Bible
about His Son, the lamb of GOD, Jesus the "anointed" one--both
the Hebrew word "Messiah" and the Greek word "Christ" mean
"anointed (one)." The class discusses the will of GOD relating to
the birth and life of Jesus Christ. It also reports that the Holy
Bible says that GOD raised His Son Jesus from the dead, that
Jesus Christ showed himself alive for forty days on earth after
GOD raised him from the dead, that Jesus then ascended to heaven,
and GOD seated him at His own right hand.
Fellowship with GOD
also discusses how the Bible came into existence, and how even a
little understanding of the languages and manuscripts from which
the Books of the Bible were eventually translated into English
can play an important role in having fellowship with GOD. It
presents basic information about the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek
languages relevant to the Holy Bible; the early tablets, scrolls,
and printed texts which came before our modern Bibles; and how
understanding seemingly minor matters like spelling, punctuation,
and grammar can shed tremendous light on having fellowship with
GOD.
Fellowship with GOD
presents what GOD has revealed about His gift of holy spirit in
the Bible. The key Hebrew and Greek words for
"spirit"--ruach and pneuma, respectively--are
discussed on a basic level to show how important translation and
context are in understanding this important topic relating to
having fellowship with GOD.
Fellowship with GOD
also discusses what the Holy Bible says about words and concepts
such as "Christian", born again, saved, and conversion so that
students can be very clear on what Yahweh accomplished for people
through His Son, Jesus Christ, including the sealing of children
of GOD with holy spirit beginning on Pentecost (Acts 2).
Fellowship with GOD also discusses what GOD has revealed in the
Bible about the renewed mind, the Christian walk, the role of the
(good) angels of GOD, and how to resist our adversary, the devil,
and his evil spirits.
