Eph-80-81 - Lesson 36 - Ephesians 5: 29- 6:9
Again, I'm truly grateful to the Father above all, and to the greatness of His Word and the love of God in that Word for His people, and the understanding that' s available to us in that Word. I, too, am beginning to see more and more and more that the knowledge God has given us of 'one God' and of His wonderful son Jesus Christ, how singularly important that is in our Ministry and how great it is in God' s Word. We perhaps tonight at the close ofmy teaching here... depends on how it goes... we may spend another hour or two working it just among ourselves here. And if we do, of course, we will share with the rest of the Corps what we work out and what we discuss. Because what I'm going to share with you tonight, again, there' s nobody that I know in the theological or Biblical world that agrees with us. And I just like to share it with you. Not saying that I know it all, nor even saying that we' re totally right, but in my mind and in my heart it fits. And that' s what I'd like to share. Because we' re still dealing, we' re still dealing in chapter five and through the first nine verses of chapter six with ' one God.' And that becomes so important. What I'd like to do and will do tonight also, is not spend an abundance of time on the figures of speech or the greatness of some of the words. Simply, mainly to set it for you and get you through it, so that you have the knowledge available to you and then you can check it out further on your own. The reason I'd like to do this...that will free me of having to teach the Corps from Gunnison next Wednesday night across the country. And that will save me approximate ly twelve hours of time, which I would like to reserve for myself just to be with the Corps at Gunnison. So this is the reason we' re going to be covering a voluminous amount of scripture verses tonight. We begin with chapter 5:29.. .I ' d like a cup of coffee... For no man.. .is King James... ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as

Also, as we cover Ephesians 4:28 tonight, I had all the information in front of me from another article that Walter Cummins has in the... has had in the Magazine. The first article on Ephesians 4:25 is entitled "The Spoken Word." The one on Ephesians 4:28 is "Workers for God." Both of these pieces of work by Walter are absolutely superb. And I believe that they should appear and will appear in our research journal GMIR whenever we begin publishing that. {GMIR Aramaic word meaning ' to perfect, accomplish , mature, complete, arithmetically to be divisible without any remainder.} And I noticed again that some of the things
