Treasurechests.net is a simple way of organizing all my biblical studies, tools and resources in one location. Trying to manage files and notes on my computer is difficult and does not allow for easy access with links between files. By converting and transferring everything online, access is available from anywhere. It allows easy sharing and quick reference. I pray you find it useful too.

2Ti_3:16  All scripture is given by inspiration of God
2Pe_1:21  For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man:
but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

It is God's word, men spoke and wrote it as God revealed it to them.

Tit_1:2  In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
Heb_6:18  That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie,
we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

Thus all scripture is God's word and truth because God cannot lie.
Since there is no private interpretation there must be keys to rightly dividing scripture to arrive at the truth.
We cannot allow misunderstood verses, errors in translations, eastern manners and customs,
private interpretation or assumptions lead us to teaching error.
We must set aside religious tradition and preconceived ideas and allow God's word to speak for itself.

The phrase IT IS WRITTEN is found 63 times in the new testament.
That phrase was given by God, spoken by Jesus and penned by the apostles.
IT IS WRITTEN is the standard God desires for his people.

In full disclosure I share the following. We are non-denominational and interact with other Christians according to the instruction laid out in scripture. We know God's word is truth which surpasses senses or worldly knowledge and that through Jesus Christ man can be born again to eternal life, manifest the gift of holy spirit and have a true vital spiritual relationship with God the Father.

Regarding scripture, God's word is truth. Translations may have errors which is why we research to get to the original God breathed word 2Ti 3:16-17, and that there is no private or ones own interpretation 2Pe 1:20. We utilize keys from within scripture and laws of language which cannot be broken along with other research methods and tools to help us in our quest to understand God's will and heart for our lives.

We believe God raised Jesus from the dead, that he is ascended into heaven to be seated at the right hand of God and that Jesus the Christ is Lord and head over all things to church (Greek: ekklesia), the one body of Christ. That the church is not a building or an organization established by man. That leadership in the church and within the body of Christ is ordained by God, directed by the gift, holy spirit within those individuals to serve in love.

Eph 4:11-15 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:  Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 

1Co 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

We believe that the gift of holy spirit, power from on high, the new birth, sonship and eternal life was made available on the day of Pentecost Acts 2 and that eternal life is available to all men that confess Jesus as Lord Rom 10: 9-10. That we are saved by grace and not by works Eph_2:8,  2Ti_1:9. That we have the right, privilege and duty to operate the gift of holy spirit as laid out in 1 Cor ch 12-14. That after the first outpouring of the gift on Pentecost it was no longer necessary for believers to meet in a temple or place of worship. All subsequent churches (Greek: ekklesia, assemblies) met in the home Rom_16:5, Col_4:15, Phm_1:2. Among those that truly have Jesus as Lord and head of the one body there should be no divisions or strife. There are many churches with varying ministries, having varied outreach and oversight longsuites. However, organizations ruled by men holding traditions of men higher than the word of God divide God's people into denominations and sects. Rather we are to Eph 4:3  Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.  Eph 4:4  There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; Eph 4:5  One Lord, one faith, one baptism,  Eph 4:6  One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. If we are all born again of the same spirit given by God through Jesus Christ, then we are all brothers and sisters in Christ. Traditions of men hinder Christians from receiving all that is available by dividing us out from full fellowship with one another and with God. When Jesus Christ returns there will be no divisions among those that are his. So today, we hold high the word of God above the word and words of men and study to rightly divide the word of truth 2Ti_2:15 To proclaim Jesus as Lord and salvation in his name. Act 4:12  Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. 

We believe Jesus is the Son of God and that he was born a man without sin thereby making it available to redeem mankind . There is God the Father, the Holy Spirit which is God, Jesus Christ the only begotten son of God and the gift of holy spirit given unto all that confess Rom 10:9  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.  Rom 10:10  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 

Rom_5:17  For if by one man's (Adam's) offence death reigned by one (man); much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one (man), Jesus Christ.

1Ti_2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

1Co_8:6  But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

1Jn_5:5  Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? (not God the Son)

God cannot be tempted because he is Holy and he is Spirit, Jesus was tempted in all things because he was born a body and soul man.

Jas_1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
VERSUS
Heb 4:15 For we have not an high priest (Jesus Christ) which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Joh_1:18  No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him (made him known)

No man has seen God, Jesus was seen by many.

COMING SOON
A read through the New Testament
with understanding.

Neh 8:5  And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people;) and when he opened it, all the people stood up: 
Neh 8:8  So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.)
