1 John 5 A Corrected Translation by D. J. Love, Minister, TSN, SBC Refined 1/10/2003
Prior to a study of this message, it is necessary to have received the insight of the message on The Holy Spirit of The Eternal Creator, and "A Spiritual Perspective." Without a proper understanding of The Holy Spirit it will be impossible to understand this translation or any translation covering the subject of The Holy Spirit. For The Holy Spirit is not a separate god or GOD that has the Mind of The Eternal Creator. The Holy Spirit IS the Mind of The Eternal Creator, which is an inseparable part of The Creator Himself, and which is partially imparted as a "Righteousness Seeking Mentality" into ALL who Truly Love The Eternal Creator, and whose minds (therefore) are the dwelling places of The Holy Spirit. Indeed, it is the received understanding, imparted by the "Mind of The Eternal Creator," that is our "Counselor" and our "Comforter".
1 Corinthians 2:14-16 14 Now the natural man doesn't receive the (Righteous) things of The Eternal Creator's Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can't know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he who is Spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one. 16 "For who has known the mind of the YHVH, that he (she) should instruct (Counsel) him?" But we have Messiah Y'Shua's mind (and he has the mentality of YHVH, which is a Spiritual Reflection or Righteousness Seeking image of YHVH's Righteousness Seeking character).
Note: It is a well known and documented fact that chapter 5 (1 John 5) in the Anglican and the "catholic" (Universal) Bible (KJV) is the
most deliberately corrupted of them all. I contend that this deliberate addition of false scripture and mistranslation is self-evident of the pagan "Universal Roman Church's" (Christopagans) agenda to prevent the average person from worshipping YHVH in Spirit and Truth, and thereby not only denying them True Salvation, but also, preying on their ignorance for personal profit and domination. Additionally, the Greek translation completely removed the Feminine aspect of the Hebrew word "Ruwach" from the understanding of YHVH's Holy Spirit. Neither the Holy Spirit nor YHVH are male or female, but instead have both masculine and feminine traits. This is actually not true in the strictest sense, because this would be placing the Creator after the created. In the truest sense it is man and woman who together have been given by The Creator either predominately masculine or feminine qualities; of which The Creator possesses both. Therefore, when Scripture refers to YHVH, Y'shua, or their Holy Spirit as Him or Her; the Scripture is actually referring to the masculine or feminine traits that are most often observed in natural man or woman. This was not done to confuse us, but to teach us. It is the outside influence of natural man that brought about the chaos and confusion.

1 John 5 Whosoever believes (Strong's #4100, "pisteuo," "Puts Trust in" or "Has Faith in") that (Strong's #3754, "hoti," "because" or "concerning that")Y'shua is the Messiah (and therefore follows by faith the righteous example of Messiah's ministry) is born of
The Eternal Creator
Note: The terms "Born" & "Birth" are feminine aspect of YHVH's Holy Spirit. Whosoever loves (obeys) the Father also loves (obeys) His only (Spiritually) begotten (eldest appointed human) Son. 2 By this we know that we love the children of The Eternal Creator, when we love The Eternal Creator and keep (obey) His commandments (All of them). 3 For this is the love of The Eternal Creator, that we keep (obey) His commandments (of Love). His commandments (of Love) are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born (of the Spirit) of The Eternal Creator overcomes the world (loses the selfish desires to sin). This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith (however, Faith without Love is nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:2). 5 Who is He who overcomes the world, but He who believes that Y'shua is the (Eldest) Son of The Eternal Creator (and therefore follows by faith the example of Messiah's ministry on Earth)? 6 This is he who came to us by water and blood (physical birth, spiritual birth, and personal sacrifice or ministry), Y'shua the Messiah; not with the water only (physical birth of the body ,and spiritual birth of the mind), but with water and blood (physical birth, spiritual birth, and sacrifice or ministry). It is the Spirit (Perfect, Righteous, Holy Character of The Eternal Creator that is reflected in Y'shua) that bears witness (testifies that Y'shua is the Messiah), because the Spirit is the truth (a Holy and Righteous Spirit of Truth cannot be a lie). 7 For there are three that bear witness, the Spirit (Strong's #4151, Pneuma or Righteous Character), and the water (from Strong's #5204, hudor or dripping wet), and the blood ("of grapes" or "of man." Strong's #129, haima); and the three agree as one (bear or provide identical witness).
Explanation: For there are three Prophetic Evidences or proofs that substantiate that Y'shua is the Messiah, and they are (1) his Righteousness Seeking Holy Character ("Mind of YHVH"), in which only The Eternal Creator's Will was/is done, (2) his symbolic act through water baptism (dripping wet) by John the Baptizer unto repentance (rejection of SELF), and subsequent spiritual birth (see
Water Baptism), and his Personal Sacrifice for our sins (Click on Green Links), from which both symbolic water and symbolic blood was issued from His side. See Isaiah 7:13-16, John 19:34 (this next verse was added by Hellinized / pagan Jew and / or Anglican-catholic translators)"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the
Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one." (this next verse, which was verse 7 and is now verse 8, was modified by Anglican-catholic translators - KJV) "And there are three that bear
witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree as one."
9 If we receive the witness of men (testimony of human eye witnesses), the witness (the Holy Scripture, Word or Spiritually revealed understanding) of The Eternal Creator is greater; for this is The Eternal Creator's testimony which he has testified concerning his Son. 10 He who believes in the Son of The Eternal Creator (and therefore follows by faith the example of Messiah's ministry) has the witness in Y'shua (as his High Priest). He who doesn't believe YHVH, has made YHVH to be a liar (perceives The Eternal Creator as a liar within his own heart, and possibly even bears false witness against The Most High), because he has not believed in the testimony (witness of The Holy Scripture and/or Holy Spirit) that The Eternal Creator has given (to ALL His Chosen Children or Spiritual Images) concerning his (appointed Eldest) Son. 11 The testimony is this, that YHVH gave to us (made available by example) eternal life (a conditional promise of eternal life), and this life is in his Son. (see Ephesians 1:13-14 below) 12 He who has the Son (truly believes in his ministry/sacrifice) has the life. He
who doesn't have The Eternal Creator's Son doesn't have the life.
Note: The use of the word "NAME," as used in the phrase, "Believe in his NAME," does NOT simply imply a title (what you are called). The term "NAME" carries with it the implication of 'what the NAME represents.' The full impact of the word "NAME" may never be truly understood in these 'Latter Days,' but a person's NAME has historically been defended even to the death. A person's NAME was his or her REPUTATION, and a highly defended point of HONOR.
Therefore, when Scripture says to "Believe in the Name of Messiah", it means to believe in what it is that the NAME represents." And that my friends is the SOURCE of HIS FAME, which is HIS MINISTRY on Earth. According to Strong's #3686 (Greek), NAME is "onoma," which is "authority or character." This implies a belief in his "Righteousness Seeking Reputation". Therefore, model yourself after Messiah's Righteousness Seeking Reputation (Good Name), because YHVH will JUDGE your NAME. A NAME that will be born out of the Intent of your (True Spiritual Nature) Heart (See Sacrifice of Messiah).
13 These things I have written to you who believe (and therefore follows by faith the example of Messiah's ministry) in the (Righteous) NAME (reputation) of the (Only Eldest) Son of The Eternal Creator (Y'shua), that you can know that you shall have eternal life, as long as, you continue to (truly) believe in the (Righteousness Seeking) NAME (Strong's #3686, "onoma"; "authority or character;" implying a belief in the "Righteous Reputation") of the (Only Eldest) Son of The Eternal Creator. 14 This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything in accordance with His (YHVH's Righteous) will , He listens to us (selfish prayers will not receive an audience). 15 And if we know that He (YHVH) listens to us, whatever (in Righteousness only) we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of Him. 16 If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin, not leading to death, he shall ask, and The Eternal Creator will give him life for those who sin not to death. There is a sin leading to death (That of an unrepentant attitude that leads to a refusal to accept YHVH's gift of The Holy Spirit [Righteousness Seeking Mind of YHVH] through the ministry Y'shua His Son) I don't say that concerning this he should make a request (See Sacrifice of Messiah).
17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to death. 18 We know that whosoever is born of The Eternal Creator doesn't sin (continue to sin and therefore sin in The Eternal Creator's eyes), but he who was born of The Eternal Creator keeps himself, and the evil one doesn't touch him. 19 We know that we are of The Eternal Creator, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. 20 We know that the Son of The Eternal Creator has come, and has given us an understanding (through his ministry and imparted Mind of The Eternal
Creator), so that we know Him (YHVH) who is true, and we are in Him (YHVH) who is true, and (also) in His (Appointed Firstborn) Son, Y'shua, The Messiah. This (YHVH) is the true The Eternal Creator, and eternal life.
21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
Ephesians 1:13-14 13 in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, -- in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of The Eternal Creator's own possession, to the praise of his glory.
Note: a promise and a pledge are vows of a future event. The Eternal Creator does not give salvation or immortality to anyone, except Messiah Y'shua, until Y'shua returns at the First Resurrection, which is the time the Chosen Few are to receive their inheritance.
