Hypocrite

Amtract entry for hypocrite

Personal Comment – hypocrites is to present oneself as one thing when in reality they are something else entirely. Hypocrisy is just the opposite of what God is. God is a certain thing, and he presents himself as that thing. God is always true and presents things as they are, including in his presentation of himself to us. The point here of being deceptive is at the heart of Satan, and people that are hypocrites are exactly like Satan, presenting one set of norms, standards, or lifestyle when in reality they really are something totally different and opposite in spiritual nature.

HOLY SPIRIT OR HOLY GHOST

Amtract dictionary entry for Holy Spirit

Personal Comment – The third person of the Trinity or the Holy Spirit is a personal being that is characterized most strongly by being holy. He is separated unto righteousness, goodness, and what is at the essence of the character of God. Those that have dealings, relationship and communion with the Holy Spirit become holy as a forced event. If the person does not desire this holiness, the relationship is tapered off until it is terminated.

HOLY, HOLINESS

Amtract dictionary entry on Holy Holiness

Personal Note – Holy means separated from the common, mundane of the world, and especially from the commonness which is now man, i.e. sin. Holy refers to that which pertains to God and his distinctiveness which is based in his character, purity, goodness, rightness, etc. We are holy when we become like God. That which is not like God is unholy, and there is yet further degrees of unholiness which become abominations in God’s sight. Holiness is a way of living that is pleasing in the sight of God, and this means being like Christ, being like God.

Jesus comes from the OT Joshua, or Jehovah is salvation. Christ comes from the concept of Messiah or the anointed to do a very special task before God. In Jesus’ case, to execute salvation for God and mankind.

GODLY

Godly entry from the Amtract Dictionary




Personal Comment – The concept of “godly” has to do with God. How God is, so is the godly. When we take on voluntarily the good and righteous character of God, then we become godly, and when we do God’s work in this way that God wants it done, then we are also associated with or become godly.

GOD

Entry on God from Amtract dictionary

Personal comment – After studying every occurrence of the word “god” in the Bible (at least most of them) I concluded that the base most concept of “god” is somebody that dictates the life situation and decisions of another. Psalm 82 speaks of God (the only true God) judging amongst the “gods”. The chapter is very difficult to understand, but it is best understood as “god” being a judge or politician or king that makes or affects the lives of others.
