Ronald E. Newton

Ronald E. Newton I spent eight years with the USAF Security Service serving overseas. Military intelligence is not an oxymoron. Worked several years as a medicare claims examiner for the state of New Jersey. Finally found a job I liked. Meaning I love to work my job. After 32 years retired from IBM as a networking consultant. It was an eye opener to work in the back rooms of corporate America. Some where in the journey I married a southern belle and moved to the south. Two sons and daughter entered my family and all of them have left home to be on their own. They still come back though. After receiving helping hands in my career, I taught for free, the SAT in Greensboro, NC for 25 years. Every college graduate was a satisfying victory for me and my students. The lesson learned there was don't teach---Mentor! Became immersed in a new network called the Internet. Imagine PCs instead of water cooled main frames. Worked to launch free blogs at triadblogs.com. Developed mentoring site for SAT, GED and Personal Finances. I have a personal blog at www.rnewton.net/wordpress/ and an author's website at www.rnewton.net. You may email me or get links to my mentoring sites from my author's website. Please drop by and kick the tires. I was first published in Negro Digest in 1964. My how the years have flown. Why should you give a book review?

    Introduction

    Bible pamphlets are produced to provoke study, investigation, and hook readers into reading their Bibles. My own study of the Bible began when I had a question. Because I was a student I researched the topic as I would for a college class. My mind slanted my question to, What does the Bible say about that?

    With a Strong’s concordance or the Internet, Bible verses may be found on any topic. Trying to read the Bible as a book from beginning to end was not my cup of tea. All the biblical references for a topic are not presented here, just the main ones. In any Bible study try to gather the verses in the Bible that touch on your topic. If two verses conflict you have found your first hint of biblical ignorance. You just may not understand what the Bible said. Doing research is critical to gaining knowledge and understanding. Remember that everyone has an opinion on the Bible; and it’s just that — an opinion.

    Thank you for giving me a read. You may contact me at ronald@rnewton.net. If you become addicted to researching in the Bible don’t blame me!

    These are extracts from lessons I learned from other deacons. Sermons that stuck in my mind and were amplified over the years by living in this world. Life has been good with some hard and evil events in it. To live I did! The word live is evil spelled backwards.

    I do not want credit for this work because many have shown me the truth and contributed it to me. I just want their words to find new fertile soil and be remembered now.

    The King James Version Bible (KJV) and the Good News Bible (GNT) are used in this eBook. In my opinion, the King James Bible version is an excellent research Bible. Its language sometimes gets in the way of understanding by the new generation of this time. The Good News Bible speaks plain for most of us today and I like it for that purpose.

    Any errors found are mine.

    Jesus Christ — Old Testament 

    Jsus Christ is described in the New Testament of the Bible. His lineage, life, works, and miracles unfold in the holy book. A debate rages over whether He was the Son of God? Did He arise from the grave one morning and ascend unto heaven? Did Jesus Christ even live? Excellent topics for Bible study, but not what I’m going to dive into right now. 

    The premise that Jesus Christ was also a God in the Old Testament times.

    My bold premise statement began from reading the following verses. Years passed and it was developed more as I studied the Bible. I’m not a raving lunatic. Yes, if I were a raving lunatic; I wouldn’t know it! Don’t believe me because I say it. Don’t believe it because you can read it in the Bible. Believe it because you can prove its truth to your own satisfaction.

    KJV: Genesis 1:1-5: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day."

    GNT:  In the beginning, when God created the universe, 2 the earth was formless and desolate. The raging ocean that covered everything was engulfed in total darkness, and the Spirit of God was moving over the water. 3 Then God commanded, Let there be light—and light appeared. 4 God was pleased with what he saw. Then he separated the light from the darkness, 5 and he named the light Day and the darkness Night. Evening passed and morning came—that was the first day.

    What happened between the creation of the universe and day one? Lucifer rebelled and war broke out in heaven and earth. Collateral damage occurred in the universe and the fallen angels came to earth. Note that Adam and Eve weren’t in existence yet.

    KJV: Genesis 2:4-7: "These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, 5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. 6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. 7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."

    GNT: When the Lord God made the universe, 5 there were no plants on the earth and no seeds had sprouted, because he had not sent any rain, and there was no one to cultivate the land; 6 but water would come up from beneath the surface and water the ground. 7 Then the Lord God took some soil from the ground and formed a man out of it; he breathed life-giving breath into his nostrils and the man began to live.

    Why the change from God to Lord God? God the father began creation; but, Lord God (Jesus Christ) made the earth and mankind. What reasons do I have for this premise? Just some pesky verses
