C) La Directiva 2011/85/UE
2.1. La reforma del artículo 135 de la Constitución
“Do you understand what you are reading? ... How can I, unless someone guides me?” - Acts 8.30-31.
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent” - 1Cor 1.19, quoting Isa 29.14.
Only God determines who will understand, and not understand His words. Who is Campbell to say that He cannot do this? God had ordained priests to minister the word of God to the world. Only they had understanding. (See: Deut 17.9-11, 1Cor 12.28, 1Pet 2.5, 1 Jn 2.27, 2Tim 2.2.) The success of the First Century Body is attributed to the operation of the Holy Spirit, but Campbell gives the Spirit no honor.
2) MISUNDERSTANDING CONFUSED WITH WISDOM.
“The import of the question, ‘What shall we do?’ (Acts 2.37); the faith and penitence of the inquirers; and Peter’s commandment to them, were distinctly stated” - Ibid.
Campbell did not understand the answer to the question in Acts (2.38); but still, he claims that there is no “peculiar and hidden meaning.” If this is true, then why could he not comprehend Peter’s reply? The False Prophet (Pope) teaches, “You get the Holy Spirit when you are ‘baptized’.” The current catechism even specifies that the priest anoints the convert with oil to impart the Spirit. And, Campbell believed the Pope, and not the Bible! The writer of Hebrews (6.1-2) taught that they received the Holy Spirit by “the laying on of hands.” Examples of conversions add that prayer was employed in “the laying on the hands.” (See: Acts 8.15-17, 13.3, 19.6.) Campbell’s error, and the reason for darkness in the congregations today, was to suppose that God quit His work in the First Century -- because, “The Pope saith!” This system employed by God in the first century was temporary and has “been done away”
(1Cor 13.8-10). But Campbell is not done for the day, look what else he says.
3) A DIALOGUE (written by Campbell).
(1) “‘A PRESBYTERIAN. -- Does not Paul say that a natural man receives not the things of the Spirit -- that they are spiritually discerned? ...’
CAMPBELL. ‘... The words, then, suggested by the Spirit represent “spiritual things;” BUT THESE SPIRITUAL THINGS ARE THE LITERAL MEANING OF THESE SPIRITUAL WORDS”’- Ibid.
(Capitalization by Alexander Campbell.)
Campbell would never be suspected of publishing a New Testament, “The Living Oracles,” with a “Table of Symbols,” containing 148 prophetic symbols (Appendix, p. 37).
(2) “To the prophecies such meaning may belong; but other than a literal or figurative meaning in the
‘historical’ and ‘epistolary’ books, I profess not to comprehend.”
NOW THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED! Campbell is playing by the Pope’s rules, with imaginary divisions of the Bible into (a) historical, (b) epistolary, and (c) prophetic books.
(1) Is not Matthew a prophecy? (See: 5.5, 5.18, 16.28, 24.30.)
(2) Is not Acts a prophecy? (See: 1.5, 1.11, 2.20, 2.39, 9.16, 11.28, 28.26-28.)
(3) Is not 1 Corinthians a prophecy? (See: 3.12, 9.25, 14.30, 15.22-24.) (4) Is not the entire Bible sprinkled throughout with prophecy? (See: Gen 49.10; Deut 18.15; Psalms 16, 22, 46, 110; Isa 9.6, 65.17; Jer 30.3; Zec 13.8; Mal 4.2.) The Pope’s imaginary divisions of the Bible are to deceive the simple.
“Then I saw another Beast (Pope) ... and he had Two Horns (Kingdoms) like a lamb and spoke like a Dragon (Satan) ... and he deceives those who dwell on the earth ” - Rev 13.11, 14.
Campbell was a humanist. He denied the operation of the Holy Spirit, while confessing to
believe in the Spirit when under attack. This is the origin of the epithet “Unitarian,” which was applied to him. Although this is unrighteous judgment, because he honored the Son; nevertheless, he was judged to be a Unitarian for denying the Spirit. He was accused of popery, even though he “put the seal on Satan”
(Rev 20.3) by exposing the Pope as the Man of Sin, and the Roman Catholic Church as the “mother of prostitutes,” and the Papacy as the Beast. The reason for this accusation was his emphasis on
“immersion” being the act whereby the blood of the Anointed is applied to man’s sins. This was taught without any satisfactory explanation of how to be “born of the Spirit.” He was also content to imitate the Pope in quoting Acts (2.38):
“Repent, and let everyone of you be immersed (dipped) into the name of Jesus the Anointed for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
[The Father is named “the Lord our God, and is mentioned in verse 2.39; and “from the Father the promise” is in verse 2.33. Therefore in name of Father, Son, and Spirit is faithfully mentioned by Peter.]
Campbell’s use of the term, “The Man of Sin” was a case of mixed epithets, and should have read the False Prophet, or #666.
Campbell taught that you received the “Holy Guest” when you were immersed. He preferred this unbiblical term because the “gift of the Holy Spirit” was gone, and he was unaware of the seven Spirits of God (see: Isa 11.1-4, Eze, Chap. 1, Eph 4.4-6, 6.14-18; 2Pet 1.5-7, Rev 4.5, 5.12, 5.13, 7.12.) After writing a series of articles on the “gift of the Holy Spirit” in his Christian Baptist magazine, he closed like this:
(3) “... consequently, when the apostles all died, these gifts were no longer conferred; and gradually all the converts who had those gifts died also; and therefore, these gifts did not long survive the apostles” - Nov, 1824.
(4) “As the Spirit of Wisdom and of Power, it was the author of all the miracles, spiritual gifts, and prophecy; but as the Spirit of Goodness, it is the author of that principle in christians, which inclines and enables them to cry Abba, Father” - Ibid.
CONCLUSION. Campbell boasted of his own ability to understand the words in the Bible, even making them “our” words; whereas, God teaches that the Scriptures are only understood by those with the Holy Spirit. Iesous taught by parables. The prophets taught by visions and symbols. These are not “our”
words!
Therefore the Pope has all of the Seminary students, and Bible College students brainwashed to repeat his words, as Campbell did, and they brainwash the congregations to believe the Pope. The Pope is a crafty fellow! (1) He invented “church doctors” in about AD 1198. The first four “doctors of the church” were Ambrose, and Augustine, and Jerome, and Pope Gregory I [#666]. (2) The Pope promoted the teaching of the Man of Sin, “which thing I hate,” said the Lord Iesous. This consisted of “bishop-worship,” and the worship of one chief bishop per congregation. Nikolaos invented the preacher system in the first century, and the Pope has preserved it through the centuries. (3) The Pope’s Ecumenical Council of Trent invented Seminaries and young priests, to rule over the adults, who were wiser. This is how the Pope rules the world today. The “Triple-headed Beast” is out to get you! Church Doctors, and Seminaries, and Preachers!
But returning to our subject of the Bible being spiritually discerned, the prophets declare clearly that they did not understand their visions -- even their own words, spoken by inspiration of God.
(1) “For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off” - Acts 2.39.
God was announcing that the Gentiles would be added to the Body. But then, Peter did not get the message! He did not comprehend his own words. But, Campbell said that God is not allowed to talk like this. Later through a vision, and a message of an angel, and witnessing the Holy Spirit poured out on the Gentiles, Peter came to understand what he had clearly stated in Acts 2.39.
(
2) “So I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, ‘What are these, my lord?’ ... ‘Do you not know what these are?’ ... ‘No, my lord.’ ... ‘What are these two olive trees ...?’ Then he answered me and said, ‘Do you not know what these are?’ And I said, ‘No, my lord.’” - Zec 4.4-5, 12-13.
Angels are “ministering Spirits,” and the prophets had spiritual discernment -- sometimes!
(3) “Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, ‘My lord, what shall be the end of these things?’
And he said, ‘Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end’” - Dan 12.8-9.
[The time of the end refers to the resurrection, in AD 77.]
Daniel did not understand God’s words, as Peter did not comprehend God’s words, even when he had pronounced them himself. But Campbell has told us that God cannot do this! He is limited to Campbell’s rules, and to his opinions of what God can, and cannot do. Bible commentators have always been declaring what God can, and cannot do.
Our conclusion is that the Bible really is spiritually discerned, as Paul has written. See: 1Cor 2.14, 2Cor 3.13-16, Jas 1.5-7. James wrote the same thing. Peter mentioned this in his letters too.
Campbell is voted down! He was entirely out of line.
Seek the seven Spirits of God, and you may understand the Bible. See: Eph 4.4-6, 2Pet 1.5-8, Gal 5.22-23, Jude 25, Rev 5.12, 13; 7.12; Isa 11.1-4. The Spirit of God is received by prayer, as Iesous had demonstrated. See: Lk 3.21-22, Isa 11.1-4.

CONCLUSION
We have observed the quotes of many expositors, from the past, who believed, and stated their belief clearly, that Iesous was alive and fulfilling His prophecies in the book of Revelation in their lifetimes. Some even accurately predicted the future events that were over 100 years away. Can mere mortal man foretell the future 100 years in advance? We have determined that such a feat is impossible.
However, when we call to mind that these writers were interpreting Iesous’ prophecies, then it is evident that the Lord Iesous Anointed is the forecaster of future events.
The curious mind will inquire, “How did the churches lose these valuable messages, and become captives in the Pope’s prison house of darkness?” Especially, when the Lord had already exposed the Papacy and the Pope as “the Beast and the False Prophet?” Then again, the second “False Prophet” was seen to be Muhammad. Knowing these things, one would imagine that the churches would be “walking in the Light.” But, although God had warned of false teachers and false prophets in every age, even in our present day, the church memberships followed, “Gog and Magog, and the Devil that deceived them, and the Beast and the False Prophet” into the Second Dark Ages. See: Rev 20.7-10. Today Atheism and Paganism rule the world -- especially the churches! A casual glance at a booklist will confirm this fact.
The majority of the books are about Judaism, and the Middle (Dark) Ages, and Roman Catholicism (which Iesous described as paganism - Rev 11.8), and Buddhism, and then philosophy and biographies.
Philosophy includes “self-help” books for dope addicts, and gluttons, and all of the other issues addressed in the Bible. But today men prefer philosophy to religion. Then the philosophers tell the public how to be a man, or a woman, or a child, and how to live married, and divorced, and how to be parents. For thousands of years men accomplished these tasks without any philosophers, but today they are “hooked.”
Which of the two addictions is the greater evil, is hard to decide, for Iesous had condemned philosophy as well as the other sins. See: Col 2.8. But the current book lists do not contain many books about the Bible, and the few that are available are interpreted from the Pope’s point of view.
But Iesous is now actively exposing this hypocrisy. The debate over, “How to Make Three Equal Two,” was the work of the Lord Iesous. When the two positions are considered with an open mind, it is obvious that both participants were partially correct. The first position established the “resurrection of the Lord Iesous Anointed (#1), and the ‘coming of the son of the man in this generation’ (AD 32 - #2).” The opponent confirmed “the resurrection of the Lord Iesous (#1), and the resurrection at the end of time
Therefore, we are now free of the Pope’s blasphemy, “that you can only have two resurrections.”
Praise the Lord!
The most famous lexicographers of the Hebrew language are in agreement that Gods (
hwhy
) is inthe plural number over 2,300 times in the Old Testament. Therefore, “monotheism” has been exposed to be a lie! Besides that, the “Trinity,” from the Pope, has been proven to be wrong. God and the Lamb are described to be on (
e
epi) the throne in Third Heaven, and the seven Spirits of God are “before [e
enwpion]the throne” (Rev 4.5). Here are other reasons for the doctrine of two Gods:
(1) “against He Is (
hwhy
) and His Anointed” - Ps 2.2. [2 Gods.](2) “He Is (
hwhy
) said to Me, ‘You are My son, today I have begotten You’” - Ps 2.7. [2 Gods.][NOTE: The New Testament refers to Iesous being “born of the grave,” in connection with this thought. But other verses declare the preexistence of the Lamb. See: Php 2.6, Jn 8.58, Heb 13.8, Rev 1.8, 11, 17-18. “In the beginning Gods (
myhla
) created Heavens and the Earth” (Gen 1.1, Col 1.16).Therefore, the Sonship was at the raising of Iesous from the dead, who was “made alive by the Spirit”
(1Pet 3.18).]
(3) In Third Heaven is God (Rev 5.1) and the Lamb (Rev 5.6-7), and they are praised together (Rev 5.12-13, 7.10). [2 Gods.]
(4) Then we have a record of “the throne of the God and of the Lamb” (Rev 3.21, 22.1). [2 Gods.]
In the Hebrew, the word Gods (
myhla
) is plural because both God and the Lamb were in Third Heaven at that time. However, in the Greek the word “God” is singular because the Lamb had come to earth, being “Immanuel” (God with us), and also being, “the brightness of His (God’s) glory and the express image of His person” (Heb 1.3). Iesous was referred to as “the image of God” because He was“veiled in the flesh” (Heb 10.20). Now all men should serve the two Gods:
Father and Son, He Is (
hwhy
) and His Anointed, the God (O Qeoj) and the Lamb (To arnion).We should translate the Bible correctly, and unite all believers under the two Gods. It is time for Unitarians to reject their creed of “monotheism,” from the pagan writer, Zoroaster, in about 600 BC; and restated by Muhammad, in about AD 623. Also the papists should forfeit their phony teaching of the
“Trinity.” The Bible is the word of God, and not church creeds.
Then the book of Revelation needs to be restored to the congregations. The churches have served the Pope long enough! This is the New Covenant teaching; or, the law for New Jerusalem. The “gift of the Holy Spirit” had run its course long ago. Now is the time to embrace the seven Spirits of God. These
“holy seven” are the power of God today. God’s indwelling Spirit is received by praying for the seven Spirits of our Maker, or the “fruit of the Spirit.” See: Gal 5.22-23. These prayers will be more effective after being “born out of water;” or stated differently, after “being dipped in water.”
The Jewish resurrection, including the Pre-flood era, ended the apostles’ “prophecy in part.”
Iesous had replaced this with His “perfect prophecy.” See: 1Cor 13.8-10. The resurrection of the apostles, in AD 77, was the end of the law.
“And there shall be no more curse ...” - Rev 22.3.
The law was the curse, as explained by Paul. See: Gal 3.13. Now we are under the authority of the New Covenant, which is found in the book of Revelation. Iesous came to earth to save the children of Israel, and some Gentiles. The work is done, and the law is void. Iesous had “created in Himself one new man from the two, making peace” (Eph 2.15). Now we live in a new era with neither Jew nor Gentile, but the earth is divided into the “saved and the lost.” The “three eras of man on earth” were described by Peter, these being:
“The Pre-flood Era, and the Old Heavens Era, and the New Heavens and a New Earth (New Jerusalem).” See: 2Pet 3.6, 3.7-10, 3.11-13.
And Peter stated in plain language that, “we look for” (2Pet 3.13) the new era to begin soon.
The Bible was intended by God to be understood, by teachers of God, and to be believed, and to control our behavior. But the churches today deny most of the Bible. The enemy of God is made manifest by knowledge of this fact. Many church doctors have written, and we have the books: “The apostles expected Jesus to return in their lifetime. But they were wrong.” Another stratagem of the deceiver is this: “‘Some standing here shall not taste death till they see the Son of man coming in His kingdom’ - Mt 16.28; this does not mean the final resurrection at the end of time, but is referring to the day of Pentecost.”
Iesous said, “Yes,” and the church leaders all say, “No.”
Then one more example:
“‘But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection” (Rev 20.5).
We know that there are only two resurrections, and so, this is symbolic for something else.” [No where does the Bible say that there are only two resurrections. This is from the Pope only! In fact, the Bible identifies seven resurrections! These are:
1) Enoch (Gen 5.24), and: 2) Elijah (2Ki 2.11), and: 3) Elijah symbolically (Mal 4.5, Mt 17.10-13), and: 4) Iesous (Mt 28.6-9), and: 5) “the coming of the Son of man” (1Thes 4.17, Rev 14.14-16), and: 6) the “first resurrection” (Rev 14.12, 15.2, 20.6), and: 7) the end of the world (Rev 14.13, 20.11-15, 21.7-8).
Whenever anyone flatly denies that the Bible is true; or claims that it is symbolical, but has no Bible verse to identify the symbol; or denies that the words have any intelligible meaning; the reader is advised that such a person is an enemy of God.
We pray that our work, and that of the expositors quoted, has been of benefit to the reader. Iesous bless all the lovers of truth.

The New Name of the God and of the Iesous – Rev 3.12
“The [one] overcoming, I will make him a pillar in the temple of the God of Me, and no, never, he will go [out] [any] longer. And I will write the name of the God of Me and the name of the City of the God of Me, [name] of the New Jerusalem, the [she] which comes down from [place] of the heaven, from [throne]
of the God, and the new name of Me” – Rev 3.12.
A) Who was speaking? The angel of Iesous Anointed (Ihsouj Cristoj; Rev 1.1) was confirming His Revelation.
B) To Whom was He Speaking? He was speaking to the “one sent” (apostle), John, and to the Jewish congregations in the seven cities of Asia (a Roman Province in what is now Turkey).
C) In what “Age” was he speaking? He was speaking in the “Old Heavens; Law of Moses Age.”
D) Does it still apply today? Absolutely not! This promise of new names for the God and the Iesous was to be revealed at the Resurrection of “The Dead and the Living” (Mt 16.27-28) in AD 77.
I. God had declared that, “He had divided Himself, in order to come to earth and die for our sins.
A) “Look, the virgin will have [a babe] in the womb, and will bear a Son, and they will call the name of Him, ‘Immanuel’ which is being translated, ‘The God with us’” – Mt 1.23.
NOTE: One God in the Spirit in heaven and one God in the flesh on earth equals two Gods.
B) “In beginning was the Word, and the Word was with the God, and the Word was God … Into the own He came, and the own (Israel) did not receive Him” – Jn 11, 11.
NOTE: One spirit-God in heaven and one God in the flesh on earth equals two Gods.
C) “For this, you will be minded in you which was in anointed [Body] of Iesous (en cristw Ihsou)*
who in form of God did not consider [it] robbery the [act] to be equal with God, but emptied Himself, taking form of a Servant in likeness of men coming to be … becoming obedient until death, and a death of a cross” – Php 2.5-8.
NOTE *: “Anointed” is dative case (object of a preposition; w), and “of Iesous” is genitive case (possessive form in English; ou). Two words of different cases (w ou) in one phrase or sentence cannot refer to the same subject. But the alleged Bible translators have all rendered this, “Christ Jesus.” Neither the word “Christ’ (Anointed) nor the word “Jesus” (Iesous) are found in the Greek
