Lazarus
Today,
the reply is on the display of authentic humanity by Jesus Christ
while in flesh on the earth. Following the fall of Adam, mankind
could not embody divinity except by coming and going in what we might
call “episodes” and “visitations”. The “hand of the Lord”
(i.e., the Holy Spirit) might fall on someone (e.g., Ezekiel, Samson,
Saul, Daniel), however, the spirit would not remain. Jesus would
show the abiding image of GOD for the new creation that would
have a fresh endowment of the same divine spirit imparted to Adam
from the makeup of GOD. Also, the doctrine and teaching of the
Father shared by Jesus along with the gospel of the cross and his
resurrection, would be the foundation whereby every member of the
church headed by Christ would be enabled to receive the indwelling
Holy Spirit (we also say, the Comforter, the Holy Ghost, the Spirit
of Prophecy, the Spirit of Truth). It is written: John 14: 15-21,
King James Version (KJV): 15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another
Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even 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. 18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will
come to you. 19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more;
but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 20 At that day
ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in
you. 21 He 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. The fighter in

Re:
Matt 12:28 "If I cast out devils by the Spirit of God the
Kingdom of God has come unto you" who is the Holy Spirit. Did
Jesus fulfill...?
Update:
THE PASSOVER IN LUKE 22:16; 18 WHEN HE SAID
"...I
WILL NOT ANY MORE EAH THEREOF, UNTIL IT ***BE FULFILLED*** IN THE
KINGDOM OF GOD" (LUKE 22:16)?
AND
..."I
WILL NOT DRINK OF THE FRUIT OF THE VINE, UNTIL THE KINGDOM OF GOD
***SHALL COME" *** (LUKE 22:18)?
ACCORDING
TO MATTHEW 12:28 THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS THE HOLY SPIRIT! DID JESUS
FULFILL SETTING UP "TABLES" AS THEY DID UNDER THE "FIRST
COVENANT" (HEB 9:1-2) ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST (ACTS 2:2-3)?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one
another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby
know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us
of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent
the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall
confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in
God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us.
God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in
him. (1st John 4: 12-16, KJV)

“Norine”,
an important way to understand the distinct operations on the earth
by Jesus Christ and by the Holy Spirit is to continually acknowledge
that, at all times while in flesh, Jesus was required to display and
manifest authentic humanity. His behavior, conduct, and speech were
always fashioned, formed, and made to be consistent with such finite
human elements as appetite, sensation, and emotions/mind at the same
time he was being permanently altered through operations of the Holy
Spirit that determine accountability, commitment, discovery,
godliness, gradual growth, ability to serve unselfishly, and the
endurance of suffering. Jesus would proclaim the truth that fresh
endowments of the same life essence (we say, breath; spirit;
word; the law and the prophets) imparted to Adam at Creation will be
imparted from GOD to abide and indwell the church he would found.
The appearing of Jesus on earth presenting mortality as the Son of
Adam and the Son of GOD does not conflict with or contradict his
appearing in the heaven as an aspect of full Godhead and as the Word.
The inseparable sacred substance of divinity includes faith,
holiness, joy, longsuffering, lovingkindness, oneness without
sameness, personhood, wisdom, and wrath against sin. Consider again
the following that uses language from the Bible:
(1.)
Philippians 2: 5-13, King James Version (KJV): 5 Let this mind be
in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of
God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself
of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was
made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man,
he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of
the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given
him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus
every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things
in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that
every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the
glory of God the Father. 12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always
obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence,
work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13 For it is
God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good
pleasure.
(2.)
Hebrews 12: 1-4, KJV: 1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed
about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every
weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us
run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 Looking unto
Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy
that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and
is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 For consider
him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest
ye be wearied and faint in your minds. 4 Ye have not yet resisted
unto blood, striving against sin.
(3.)
Luke 17: 20-24, KJV: 20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees,
when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The
kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21 Neither shall they
say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within
you. 22 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye
shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall
not see it. 23 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see
there: go not after them, nor follow them. 24 For as
the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under
heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall
also the Son of man be in his day.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, (4.) Romans 6: 19, KJV: 19 I speak
after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for
as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to
iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to
righteousness unto holiness.) Even so, I trust
this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your
faith.
