Part 5: The One God Is Not Three Persons

The One God is not Three Persons

Part 5

God Is One

The Holy Scriptures declare that there is only One Lord God. We have seen many Scriptures that prove this Oneness of God, that “God is One”.

These are just some of them:

Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:

Mark 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

Galatians 3:20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.

Yes, truly, “GOD IS ONE”. It is clearly taught in the entire Holy Scriptures. We can scan through the pages of the Book from Genesis to Revelation and we‘ll find the truth “GOD IS ONE”. Did the Holy Scriptures teach that “GOD IS TWO” or “GOD IS THREE”. Have you read Scriptures that say “the HOLY TWO” or “the HOLY THREE”?

Listen to God saying over and over again that he is “THE HOLY ONE”. There are so many verses about the Holy One and this is just one of them:

Isaiah 43:15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.

But we will never ever read, “The Holy two” or “The Holy Three”. Where can we read “The Holy Three”? In the catechisms, creeds and confessions of traditional Christianity. They call it “The Holy Trinity””. The Trinity as they claim is Three in One, or Three Divine Persons in One God. The Holy Trinity or the Holy Three. But the Holy Scriptures never ever teach about the so-called “Holy Trinity”.

The Father and The Son are “ONE”.

Jesus Christ the Son said “I and my Father are one.” (John 10:30). Those who don’t believe in the absolute Oneness of God teach that Jesus here was saying that he and the Father were only “one in purpose” or “united”. The context does not say that. If that’s true, then Jesus must have said, “I and my Father are one in purpose”. Jesus Christ said in John 14: 7 “If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.” Then in verse 8 Philip said unto him, “Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.” What do you think would be Jesus Christ’s reaction to that? He replied to Philip in verse 9 saying, “Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?”. Jesus Christ was saying to Philip that he was a long time with them and yet they have not recognized him who he really was. He said that “he that hath seen me hath seen the Father”. In other words, the Father looks like him exactly. Because he is “the image of the invisible God” (Col. 1:15) and the “express image of his person” (Heb. 1:3). Jesus was with them for a long time but he did not recognize him who he was, that he was God himself. That’s very clear. If you are a man of understanding, you will understand what Jesus was saying and what he meant in what he said. Though he did not directly say, “I am the Father”, the words that he said prove that he was God himself.

John 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

What was Jesus saying and to whom was he speaking?  He was speaking to religious antichrist Unitarian Jews, who didn’t believe in his deity.
About whom was Jesus speaking? he was speaking of the Father. In John 5:19 they asked him, “Where is thy Father?” and Jesus answered, “Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.” It is very clear that if they had known Jesus, they would have known the Father, because Jesus said, “I AM HE”.

It was confirmed in the next statement of Jesus in John 8:58 58.  Jesus said unto them, “Verily,verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM.” Of course the religious antichrist Jews would never listen and instead took up stones to stone him because they believed that he was blaspheming God. It was the common event after his speech because of his hard teaching:

John 5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

The antichrist Jews were mad at him not only because he not only broken the Sabbath, but because he said that God was his Father, thus “making himself equal with God”. Jesus Christ’s use of the title Son of man and Son of God is not just an ordinary title. Using this title is making himself equal with God, which is the same as saying “He is the God”.

That is why we don’t agree with any preacher who uses the title “Son of God” or the appointed Son of God and put it on the streamers of their church buildings. That is blasphemy. Only God made flesh can say that he is “the Son of God”. And that is Jesus Christ himself.

The antichrists.

These religious antichrist Unitarian Jews were antichrists because they were always “against Christ”.

Acts 4:26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.

Psalm 2: 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
John 1:41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.

“Christ” is the Greek word of the Hebrew “Messias” or ‘Messiah” which means “anointed”. Those who don’t believe in the deity of Christ are antichrists which means “against the anointed”.

1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

What is antichrist? He is the one that denies the Father and the Son. Take note: the Bible did not say anti-Father and anti-Son, but used only one word “antichrist”. Because if someone is against the Son, then he is against the Father, thus antichrist. You cannot be anti-Son and then pro-Father. If you are anti-Son then you are anti-Father. Because the Father and the Son are ONE. Thus, that person who comes against the Father and the Son is called “antichrist”. The Father and the Son in ‘ONE”, that is Christ. Trinitarians use this verse against the “Oneness” people because they thought that Oneness people believes only in the Son and not in the Father, thus according to them, denying the Father and the Son. But they don’t understand. The Oneness people don’t deny the Father and the Son, but on the contrary they accept the Father and the Son, because the Father and the Son are One – in Christ. We don’t deny the Father and the Son. We believe and worship the Father and the Son, because we believe that he is Christ himself who manifested as the Father and the Son.

1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

What is the spirit of antichrist? it is the spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. So who is not of God? that spirit of antichrist.

2 John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

What is a deceiver and an antichrist? it is the one who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. These people “antichrists” don’t believe that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh but just began his existence when he was born of Mary. They don’t believe that Jesus Christ existed even before he was born of Mary, and that he was just come in the flesh. He was not flesh but he was “Spirit” (John 4:24) and he was “the Word” (John 1:1-3) who was “God” himself that made “all things”. And in the fullness of time, he God was manifest in the flesh. Those who don’t believe this truth are antichrists according to the Holy Scriptures.

These religious Jews who didn’t believe in his deity were “antichrists”. According to Paul the apostle, these Jews were really antichrists or “against the Lord and against his anointed”.
2 Thessalonians 2:14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.

Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
John the beloved said that these people called themselves Jews but actually were not, but the synagogue of Satan. They may be “Jews” according to their bloodline, but according to Paul: “For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.” (Rom. 2:28,29). The real Jew was a Jew “which is one inwardly” and not “one outwardly”.

John said in his opening chapter in his gospel, that “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not.” (John 1:10,11). The Word (Jesus Christ) was in the world, and the world knew him not. What is that “world” that knew him not? It was not “the globe” or “planet earth”, it is a local “world”. This world was “his own”. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. What is that “his own” or “his people”? It was Israel. That world which was his own people Israel. His own, the world knew him not and received him not. But not everyone in that world rejected him. The next two verses say: “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” (John 1:12,13).

Not everyone in that world rejected his deity and his being the anointed. Remember it is only the “Jews” who rejected him and not the “all people” of the “house of Israel”. The Jews were from Jewry or Judaea.
John 7:1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.



The disciples of Jesus Christ were not Jews but of Galilee called the “Galilee of the Gentiles” (Mat. 4:15) and were “Galilaeans”. Only Judas Iscariot



“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” (John 1:12,13).  Not that entire world rejected Jesus Christ but there were those who received him as he was. They believed on his name (JESUS, Matt. 1:21) and he gave them power to become sons of God. They were “born of God”. These were the Israelites of the first century that believed on his name and became his disciples. See the book of Acts.
Acts 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

And then many Gentiles also believed on him.
Acts 13:48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

These people – the Jews, the Greeks, the Gentiles, the Barbarians, the Scythians and the great multitudes all believed on the name of the Lord:
Revelation 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

Not all rejected God and his Christ. There were and are those who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ and are “born of God”. These people believe that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, that God was manifest in the flesh, that the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.

Compare these three statements:

John 1:14 “And the WORD was made FLESH”
1 Timothy 3:16 “GOD was manifest in the FLESH”
1 John 4:2 “JESUS CHRIST is come in the FLESH”

The Word of God defines itself.
The Word = God = Jesus Christ.
He is the Word made flesh, God manifest in the flesh, and Jesus Christ come in the flesh.
He who denies this truth is antichrist. It is as clear as the sunshine without clouds.
The Jews who were antichrist didn’t recognize and acknowledge that God himself was among them.
“Who are Israelites…whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen” (Rom. 9:4,5)

But there were Jews and Israelites who heard the gospel and believed on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. It was the fulfillment of Prophet Joel’s prophecy:

Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass, THAT WHOSOEVER SHALL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE DELIVERED: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

Peter said: “But THIS IS that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;…and it shall come to pass, THAT WHOSOEVER SHALL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED.” (Acts 2:16,21). Joel’s prophecy was fulfilled in the book of Acts. “For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance”. Paul confirmed it in Romans 11: 26, 27 “And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.”  The deliverer or Saviour shall come out of Sion/Zion. That is Jesus Christ. And “so all Israel shall be saved”. He saved them through the New Covenant that he made with the houses of Israel and Judah (Heb. 8:8). That is the new covenant through the blood of Christ (Heb. 12:24). Those who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ a.k.a. those who called on the name of the Lord were “saved”.

Why? Because Jesus Christ and the LORD of the Old Testament are “ONE”. Yes, God is ONE.

The One God is not Three Persons

Part 4

We have expounded in the previous teachings of this subject the wonderful truth of Jesus Christ’s deity, that Jesus Christ is the Lord God of the Old Testament and the New Testament, that he alone is the One True God and not just the “second” person of the Trinity. That he is not just a “creature” given the authority as God and Saviour by God the Father. We have seen that both the doctrines of the Trinitarians and the Unitarians are false doctrines. Not only that. There are also people who teach two gods. They are the “Two-nitarians” as I call them. They believe that the true and eternal God is the Father and Jesus Christ as an appointed God, a God lower than the true God. There are also the “Tritheists” who believe in three Gods: namely God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. They are not Trinitarians but they and the Trinitarians may have some similar views. The Tritheists I think are much better than the Trinitarians because they admit that they believe in Three Gods and hold on to the Hebrew word “Elohim” for plural “Gods”. But like the Trinitarians, Unitarians and others, they are in error and teach false doctrines about the Godhead.

The Bible declares that there is only One Lord God.

Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:

Mark 10:18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

Mark 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

Mark 12:32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:

Luke 18:19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.

Romans 3:30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

1 Corinthians 8:4 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.

1 Corinthians 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.

Galatians 3:20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.

Ephesians 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

People who believe in Trinitarianism, Unitarianism or any other belief that differentiates Jesus Christ from the Father use Scripture verses that seem to show the differences between Jesus Christ and God the Father, and tell you, “See? They are two different individuals.”

Some of the verses they use are these: Ephesians 1: 2 & 3

2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

Verse 2 says that grace and peace come from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. It seems that the verse teaches they are “two different persons” as they think.

Verse 3 says that God the Father is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It seems that this verse teaches that the Lord Jesus Christ is not God because he has a God. And if he is God, then it makes him a second God or a second person of the Godhead.

Another verse that they use is this:

1 Corinthians 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.

This verse seems to tell us that there is a God, one true God, other than the Lord Jesus Christ. That here Jesus Christ is not called One God, but only One Lord, some inferior creature just exalted.

Let us remember that in the New Testament Scriptures because “God” became “flesh” (1 Tim. 3:16; John 1:1,14) as “the only begotten Son” (John 1:18) on earth but still continued and remain as God “the Father which is in heaven” (Matt. 5:48), there came the distinction regarding God’s manifestation. So the term “God” in the New Testament Scriptures are mostly ascribed to ‘God the Father” and the term “Lord” to the Son of God Jesus Christ. It doesn’t make the Father and the Son as two persons or two different individuals. Remember that God is “omnipotent” (Rev. 19:6) and he can manifest not only “one” but “two” manifestations at the same time. Only God can do that. Only God can be in two or three different places simultaneously.

The Two Natures of Jesus Christ:

Apostle Paul called that as “the mystery of godliness” (1 Tim. 3:16). This is a mystery because it cannot be understood by people except God gave them the revelation of the mystery. The mystery of godliness is “God was manifest in the flesh”. He remained as God even in the flesh. Now, let us analyze this: God was manifest in the flesh. So how many are there? Two. First is God. Second is the flesh. This is the key. Here we find the “two” natures of our Lord Jesus Christ. When I mean “nature” it doesn’t mean the “eternal nature” but what he is and what he became. The first nature is his “eternal” nature as “God”. “God is a Spirit” (John 4:24). Spirit is his eternal nature. It is not Father. Why? Because if God is “eternally” a Father, then it means he has eternal sons and daughters in the eternity past as eternal as him. His “Fatherhood” had a beginning. God’s Fatherhood is also “his manifestation” just as his “Sonship” is a manifestation. When did God become a “Father”? When he did have a son. 

Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Genesis 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;

 2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

1 Corinthians 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

Luke 3:38 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.

These verses show that Adam was the “first man” or “son of God”. So God first become a father when he made his son Adam. God as “the eternal Spirit” manifested himself as “Father” when he made Adam as his son. Or we may say the day when Adam was born “of God”, God became a Father. And then in Old Testament history, Israel was called “God’s son, his firstborn” (Exo. 4:22) and God was their “Father”.

Isaiah 63:16 Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting.

Isaiah 64:8 But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

Malachi 2:10 Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?

In the New Testament times God was the Father of those Israelites who received and believed on the name of Jesus Christ. They were born of God and/or born again. 

John 1: 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

John 3: 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

In the

here we have shown that God became a Father when he did have sons and daughters beginning with Adam and his creation. But in eternity “God is a Spirit”. God is Father because he is the “Maker” (Psa. 95:6) and ‘Creator” (Eccl. 12:1). When did he create? “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” (Gen. 1:1). In the beginning he created. And in the beginning, generations began. And God was the beginning a.k.a. the Father of “heavens and earth”. (See Deut. 32:1).

Genesis 2:4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

The eternal nature of God is “Spirit”. That is the “first nature” of Jesus Christ as “God”. Then we proceed to “the flesh”. The second nature of Jesus Christ is “the flesh”. It is not his “eternal” nature but only the “temporary” nature, when he became man on earth.

God was manifest in the flesh. The Bible didn’t say that “The Father was manifest in the flesh”. It was “God” who was manifest in the flesh.  “The Father” is also a manifestation of God. It is not what others think that “The Father” is the Spirit and “The Son” is the flesh. No! God is a Spirit. Yes! That God who is Spirit is “The Father”. But it was not his “Fatherhood” that became flesh, but it is “God” who was made flesh. The Father is just one of the manifestations and the titles/roles of God Jesus Christ.

When God was manifest in the flesh, he was declared by his only begotten Son (John 1:18). The Son of God said “he that hath seen me hath seen the Father;” (John 14:9). Because he is “the image of the invisible God” (Colossians 1:15), “the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person” (Hebrews 1:3). In the last days God spoke by his Son (Heb. 1:1).

When “God” was manifest in the “flesh” as “the Only begotten Son” who is in the bosom of the Father, God continued to manifest as “The Father in heaven”. In heaven, God bears record as “The Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost” (1 John 5:7 KJV). Remember: these three are one, that is God. And he bore witness in earth through “the spirit, and the water and the blood” (1 John 5:8). That’s the earthly life and ministry of Jesus Christ as the Son. The heavenly witness is “God”. The earthly witness is “the flesh”.  God was manifest in the flesh – heaven and earth – Spirit and flesh. God and man in One – mediating between God and men “the man Christ Jesus” (1 Tim. 2:5).

Those who don’t accept this record of God are called “antichrists”:

1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

2 John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

GOD was manifest in the flesh. John made it more clearer: JESUS CHRIST is come in the flesh. That God who was manifest in the flesh is Jesus Christ who is come in the flesh. That’s as simple as that. Those who don’t believe it are antichrists. These antichrists deny the Father and the Son. It means that they don’t believe that God manifested himself as the Father and the Son, but firmly believe and teach that the Son is not God himself.

2 John 2: 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.

God the Father called his Son as God: “But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.” (Heb. 1:8). God called his Son as God. Are there two Gods as others presume? No! God is One! But he manifested himself as the Father and the Son. Yes! The Son of God was the manifestation of God as “the flesh” and in “the flesh”. And in that “bodily” manifestation “dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead” (Col. 2:9). He didn’t stopped being God when he was made flesh, but as the Full Revelationist Tim Liwanag says in his online book, “Fulfilled Eschatology”   http://fulfilled-eschatology.blogspot.com/2013/03/p2-chapter-2-gods-work-through-jesus.html

“In first-century Israel, Jehovah took upon Himself a real human form. This, however, does not say that Jehovah ceased to be God. To say that Jehovah gave up some or all of His Godhood and gave up the use of His divine attributes is to say that THE GOD was replaced by a human. Also, Jehovah did not transform Himself into an ordinary human; He added upon himself human attributes.”

“He just added his humanity to his Godhood”. Jesus Christ didn’t “take off his Godhood”. The Bible says he “made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:” (Phil. 2:7). “God was in Christ” (2 Cor. 5:19). Even though he made himself of no reputation, he didn’t stop to be God. In that flesh as “the Son” is God himself. Because that Man is God himself in the flesh. God did not remain in heaven only.

Revelation 21: 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

God was manifest in the flesh (1 Tim. 3:16) and dwelt among us (John 1:14). Prophecy fulfilled!

Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Jesus Christ is Emmanuel, God with us. That prophecy of Isaiah 7:14 was fulfilled when “God was manifest in the flesh”. Jesus Christ’s body was the tabernacle of God. It means God dwelt with and among men during the earthly ministry of Christ. The presence of God was no more in the temple of Jerusalem, which was the Jews’ heaven on earth.

Acts 7:48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,

Acts 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

God dwelt in the body of Jesus Christ. Since that time, God’s presence never left the earth. Yes, Jesus died, was buried, rose again and ascended into heaven. Hebrews 1:2 says “when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high”. Jesus Christ never left. He was taken up into heaven (Acts 1:11) and “received up into glory” (1 Tim. 3:16).

“God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name” (Phil. 2:9). He sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high, which symbolizes authority. Right hand is not literal but figurative. The days of his flesh (Heb. 5:7) ended. Paul said “yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.” (2 Cor. 5:16). He simply means, “From now on, we don’t know more know Christ after the flesh” because he was no more in the days of his flesh. Paul says “the Lord is that Spirit” (2 Cor. 3:17). Jesus Christ is “the Lord from heaven” and “a quickening spirit” (1 Cor. 15:47,45).

Now that he is exalted above all the heavens “Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come” all things were put under his feet, according to 1 Corinthians 15:

23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

 24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

 25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

 26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

 27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.

 28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

The days of his flesh ended, which means the days of his Sonship. (The Son is the "human nature" of Jesus Christ, and in this humanity dwells all the Godhead, so even though thats human that is God himself in the flesh). The glory that was with him in the beginning came back to him. He was glorified. The Son destroyed death and he put all things under his feet and finally in his ascension on high, he as the Son subjected the kingdom and himself to God that “God may be all in all”.  Jesus Christ as the Son surrendered everything to the God, and so the Sonship ended (the days of his flesh), the purpose and the manifestation of the Son ended. All the temporary manifestations ended and “God became ALL IN ALL”. It means that there is no more manifestation of God as Father, as Son and as the Holy Ghost, but he is now “God in all” and ‘Christ in all”. His name is Jesus Christ. Yes, God is still our Father, but the manifestation of the Father-Son relationship was fulfilled. The manifestation of the Holy Ghost "with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts" (Heb. 2:4) ended. But God is still active today as “The Spirit” (John 4:24) the Lord who is the Spirit, the Almighty God, the Lord Jesus Christ, not through gifts but through his "FULFILLED WORD", the BIBLE. 

To Jesus Christ was given to be the head over all things to the church which is “his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.” (Eph. 1:21-23).  Jesus Christ is “the head of the body the church” (Col. 1:18). And Jesus Christ is the Lord and God of the church “throughout all ages, world end. Amen.” (Ephesians 3:21 KJV).

Look! Up in the Sky!

LOOK UP IN THE SKY

Waiting for the Coming of Christ

Look up in the sky…..

“Hey! It’s a bird…. it’s a plane…. no…., it’s Superman!”

This phrase is commonly said in Superman cartoons. Superman was seen in the sky flying for the rescue of the villains’ victims. People saw him as a man flying with super strength. People looked at him as their savior, the savior of their world. Superman, the Man of Steel indeed is a great superhero. He is my favorite superhero. I may seem like a child, but you know Superman created a hope in people’s hearts. When they saw Superman, they thought, it was the man who would save them from their fears and their enemies. Superman guaranteed security and protection. Superman though he was in outer space could hear millions of voices of people needing his help. That’s why he is “Super” man. He has abilities greater than an ordinary man. But the reality is: Superman is still a fantasy. There is no such thing as Superman. But you know this fantasy character is also based on the realities of life.

Because of what is happening in this planet earth, people are looking for a savior or saviors who can change this world and make it a better place. Every religion in this world teaches a great man just like “Superman”. The Israelites in Bible times had their “messiahs” or “anointed Ones”.  They were looking for a God-anointed Savior, a Messiah to save them from their enemies, from the Roman Empire. They were looking for a “Political” and “Military” Messiah. That is why they were looking not for a “spiritual” kingdom but for a “natural” literal kingdom. There are people to day who are still longing for the building of the temple of Jerusalem, where Jesus Christ will reign for a millennium according to them. It will be a “literal” kingdom, according to them. They are still waiting for a “Messiah” or “Christ” to come from heaven. It seems like they are the people in Superman movies, looking for the Superman to come and save them. They are looking for a “Messiah complex”.

The Israelites, the Muslims, and even Christians are still waiting for a “Messiah”, a “Superman” to come and save them. Jesus Christ, Israel’s Messiah already came in the first century into the world of Israelites, when “God was manifest in the flesh” (1 Tim 3:16), when “the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:14). John 1:10-11 “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not.” Yes! Jesus Christ [The Messiah] already came but they didn’t know him. They didn’t received him. But people among who received him as the Messiah “to them gave he power to become the sons of God” (John 1:12). That was Chris’t second coming. Unbelieving Israelites didn’t receive him. But believing Israelites [Jews and Gentiles] received him. They believed in him. They were the “Christians” of the first century. They were the disciples called “Christians”.

Acts 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

They didn’t call themselves Christians. Others did it. Not them.

These “Christians” who were believers of Christ were looking for their redemption. They were expecting for the hope of Israel as Paul the apostle called it:

Acts 28:20 For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.

Acts 24:15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

Acts 24:21 Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.

These Christians were expecting that hope to happen in their lifetime, trusting in the very words which were spoken by the mouth of their Messiah Jesus:

Matthew 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

Luke 21:22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

Luke 21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

Luke 21:32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.

All those spoken by Jesus (read the whole chapters cuch as Matthew 24) were already fulfilled in their generation.

They were hoping for this:

1 Thesalonians 4:
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

and this:

1 Corinthians 15:
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
 23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
 24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
 25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
 26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
 27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
 28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

All these things were fulfilled. Christ came back and fulfilled his words to that generation. He came in his kingdom and he delivered up that kingdom to God, that God may be all in all.

Before and after that fulfillment, there arose people who didn’t believe in the words of Christ and began a “religious” Christianity. And this so-called Christianity was already mixed with paganism. They questioned the authenticity of the Scriptures and exalted “traditions” more than the “Words of God”. These happened according to the words of the Great Apostle of the Gentiles:

Acts 20:
29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
 30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

Came those scoffers:

2 Peter 3:
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
 4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

These people were saying to the believers “Where is the promise of his coming?” They were as if saying “Why wait for his coming? He won’t come as he said. Maybe wait for a two thousand years or more…”. And this was the beginning of the “futurism” eschatology of Christianity. So-called “Christians” from different thousands of denominations are waiting for Christ to come in “the future”, looking for Superman to appear from heaven and snatch them up or whatever they may call it.

Many versions of this “futurism” eschatology are popular in Christianity. And Christians are very confused of what eschatology is the true teaching of the Bible. There are many versions such as Premillennialism, Postmillennialism and Amillennialism. There are many opposing groups under these isms. There are pretribbers, midtribbers, postribbers, no tribbers, pre-wrathers. There are also Partial preterists and idealist-preterists.

All these are versions of futurism. All of them were looking for a literal coming of Christ on earth. A literal new heaven and earth.

Israelites were looking for the Messiah. Even the modern-day Jews are still looking for their Messiah. Even Christians from different versions of denominations are still looking for the Messiah.

But the apostles, Paul and the first-century Christians (which were Israelites: Jews and Gentiles) were looking for a quick fulfillment of prophecy in their lifetime.

Hebrews 10:37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.

Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

Revelation 22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

What must we believe? The Christian teachers who teach “Futurism” or the Holy Scriptures that teach the “Fulfillment” message. I would rather believe the Scriptures, the very words of the Lord.

Judaism is futurist. Christianity is futurist. Religions are futurists. But the Scriptural faith people are not futurists but believers of the “fulfillment” message. Yes, they are believers of fulfilled eschatology. That’s not what modern Christianity teaches. That’s not what institutional denominational Christianity teaches.

Jesus will not come like Superman. The Bible teaches that Jesus “he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.” (Revelation 1:7).

Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

He was portrayed by John as the rider of the white horse, coming with clouds. He was not portrayed as riding on a flying motorcycle, or riding on spaceship or a UFO with guns and bombs. He was portrayed according to the descriptions of their generation – the first century. Jesus fulfilled these prophecies in the first century – “quickly”.

He will not come to change this universe and planet earth and make them a new heaven and a new earth. The fact is Jesus Christ is already “present” and is “here with us”. We just have to acknowledge and accept this truth. Paul the apostle said: “Christ in you the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27). After Christ ascended to heaven, he was absent in a natural body of “flesh and blood”, but the sent the Holy Ghost as the manifestation of his presence during the Acts period until 70 A.D. And though he was not there in “the flesh” Jesus was present with the apostles because he was there with them as the “Head of the Body”. Did the Head leave the Body. If so then that Body was a headless body. It was not like that. He didn’t leave them. Jesus told told them: “I am with you always until the end of the world”. he didn’t leave them. They could not see him, but he was there.

How much more today? If he was present during the apostolic times, he is much more present TODAY because he is “God with us”.

So why should I be looking up and wait for the Messiah to come if Christ is already present here in and with me?

THE HEAVEN AND EARTH PASSED AWAY

https://www.facebook.com/FulfilledTruth/posts/588094867906616

The heaven and earth that passed away and the new heaven and earth.

When Jesus said that

 “Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.” (Matthew 5:18)

“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away”. (Matthew 24:35)

what did he mean then? Did he mean that the “material” heaven and earth will pass away? If that’s what he meant, then he contradicted the Scriptures that teach “the earth abideth for ever”. But Scriptures cannot contradict Scriptures. Then what did he mean by those words? He was talking about a “different” kind of heaven and earth. These heaven and earth he was talking about were not “the material heaven and earth” but “the covenantal heaven and earth”.

Jesus said that “one jot or one tittle” shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled”. Was he talking about “his words”? No! Because his words shall not pass away. He was talking about “the law of Moses” and “the Old Covenant”. When will the jot and the tittle of the law pass? When all be fulfilled, when heaven and earth pass away.

When did “heaven and earth” pass away? Or when did “the Old Covenant Law” pass away? When Christ Jesus was crucified and died on the cross.

Ephesians 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

Colossians 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

Christ is “the end of the law” (Romans 10:4) for righteousness to everyone that believes. Through his sacrifice on the cross, he ended that heaven and earth of Israel. Since then, men are not under the law, but under grace (Romans 6:14). The Old Covenant ended at the cross. The middle wall of partition created by the Law between “Jews” and “Gentiles” was broken down by the cross of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:14-16).That’s why in Revelation 21:1 it was said

“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.”

The first heaven and earth passed away. And now there are only “a new heaven and a new earth”. And there is “no more sea”. Sea divides land from land. Today, there is no more “sea”, no more “dividing wall” between Jews and Gentiles… or between races of people.

When Jesus died, the veil of the temple was rent in twain in the midst “from the top to bottom” (Matthew 27:51; Mark 15:38; Luke 23:45). Something happened to the temple. The temple was where the presence of God was. It was there he was communing with men through the high priest. The temple was “heaven on earth” for the Israelites. The veil of the temple that separates people was rent in the midst. It signified a spiritual message. That is, when Jesus died, the middle wall of partition between Jews and Gentiles was rent in two, therefore there was no more division between people. And it was rent from top to bottom, meaning that there is no more a wall that hinders men to come before God. Since that time men have an “access” to God (Romans 5:2; Ephesians 2:18; 3:12).

In prophetic language, “heaven” is the dwelling-place of God (temple) and “earth” is the land/people of God (Israel). Because of the cross of Jesus Christ, God’s dwelling-place is no more “the temple” of Jerusalem for God “dwelleth not in temples made with hands” (Acts 7:48; 17:24) but “the church the body of Christ” (1 Corinthians 3:16; Ephesians 2:20-22) where “there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.” (Colossians 3:11). And God’s land or God’s people is no more “Israel” but the church the “peculiar people” (Titus 2:14).

Part 3: The One God Is Not Three Persons

The One God is not Three Persons

Part 3

Comparison of the LORD of the Old Testament and JESUS CHRIST of the New Testament

 The FIRST And The LAST

THE LORD: “Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am THE FIRST, and I am THE LAST; and beside me there is no God. And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? And the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them. Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any. (Isa. 44:6-8)

“Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am THE FIRST, I also am THE LAST.”  (Isa. 48:12)

JESUS CHRIST: “I am ALPHA AND OMEGA, THE BEGINNING and THE ENDING, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” (Rev. 1:8)

“Saying, I am ALPHA AND OMEGA, THE FIRST and THE LAST: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am THE FIRST and THE LAST: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” (Rev. 1:11, 17, 18)

 “I am ALPHA AND OMEGA, THE BEGINNING and THE END, THE FIRST and THE LAST.” Rev. 22:13

Who alone can say those words except God alone? The Lord says “I am the FIRST and the LAST”. He did not say “We, I and my Son are the FIRST and the LAST”. No! For there is only ONE LORD who can authoritatively and boldly say that.

No God formed before or after God. It is also essential to emphasize God’s Word in Isaiah 43:10,11 “Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I AM HE: BEFORE ME THERE WAS NO GOD FORMED, NEITHER SHALL THERE BE AFTER ME. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.”

The LORD said, “I am THE FIRST and THE LAST. Before me there was no God formed neither shall there be after me”. JESUS CHRIST also said the same thing, that he is THE FIRST and THE LAST, which means that JESUS CHRIST is the same Lord of the Old Testament.

The Confession of Traditional Trinitarian Christianity says “In the unity of the Godhead there are three Persons of one substance, power and eternity: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. The Father is of none, neither begotten nor proceeding; the Son is eternally begotten of the Father; the Holy Spirit eternally proceeding from the Father and the Son.”

That Confession teaches that “The Father is of none, but the Son is eternally begotten of the Father”.

The Bible teaches that the Son is “the only begotten of the Father” (Jn. 1:14). “The only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father” (Jn. 1:18). But nowhere in the Scriptures can we find the words “eternally begotten of the Father”.

Being begotten means “being born”. And if somebody is born, it means that somebody has a beginning. A son is called “son” because he has a beginning, and before his existence was his father that begot him. He is born of the father. When talking about JESUS CHRIST as the “SON OF GOD”, eternity is not involved, because JESUS CHRIST’s Sonship is not eternal. Yes, JESUS CHRIST is eternal, because he is the Lord God, and only the Lord God is eternal.

 JESUS CHRIST is everlasting. “But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; WHOSE GOINGS FORTH HAVE BEEN FROM OF OLD, FROM EVERLASTING.”

JESUS CHRIST is the EVERLASTING FATHER. “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, THE EVERLASTING FATHER, The Prince of Peace.” (Isa. 9:6)

Yes, JESUS CHRIST is eternal. He is the Everlasting Father. That Scripture teaches that the child who was to be born, and the son to be given is the Everlasting Father. If that child was to be born – then that child has a beginning, a birthday. So it means that child is not eternal. But the child who was to be born is the Everlasting Father.  It means the one to be born is eternal. But that doesn’t make him eternal Son. JESUS CHRIST as the Son of God is not eternal, but as God he is the Everlasting Father. His sonship has a beginning. But he as God did not have a beginning, because he created the beginning.

JESUS CHRIST is not eternally begotten of the Father. He was begotten not in eternity, but he was begotten in the flesh, when he became flesh (Jn. 1:14), when the Holy Ghost came upon Mary and the power of the Highest overshadowed her (Lk. 1:35).

JESUS CHRIST’s Sonship had a beginning. As the Son of God, he was “formed” in the belly of his mother. Therefore the Confession “The Son is eternally begotten of the Father” is not a Scriptural Confession but only made by human tradition and categorized as a false doctrine!

JESUS CHRIST as the Son has a beginning, when he was formed in the womb of his mother, Mary. But JESUS as God is eternal. He is the Everlasting Father; no beginning, no ending; the FIRST and the LAST; the Alpha and the Omega. Let us recognize the two natures of Jesus Christ as “God” and as “Man”.  As God, he is eternal – no beginning and no ending, but as Man (the Son) he had a beginning (birth) and an ending (death). God is eternal and immortal, but man is not eternal and not immortal.

JESUS CHRIST is not a God formed after the first God the LORD. JESUS CHRIST is not a Mighty God contrasted with the Almighty God the LORD. No! He is the Mighty God and the Almighty God the LORD!

                         

There is no teaching in the Holy Scriptures that JESUS CHRIST is “eternally” begotten, born, or formed of God the Father. That is a false doctrine!

If JESUS CHRIST is the eternally begotten Son of God, then it means that after the LORD GOD, in eternity, the Son is formed or begotten. Then it means that the Son is in eternity beside the LORD. That in eternity there is another Saviour beside the LORD. But God’s words in Scriptures refute that teaching: “Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I AM HE: before me there was NO GOD FORMED, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.” (Isa. 43:10-11).

If JESUS CHRIST is the eternally begotten Son of God, then in eternity the Son is in eternal submission to the Father, the Son is eternally under the Father, the Father eternally above and greater than the Son. Then the Trinitarians will teach that the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost are three co-equal persons in eternity? How can the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost be equal in authority? That’s a false doctrine.

The LORD said: “There was no God formed before me or after me”. If JESUS CHRIST is eternally begotten of the Father, then this verse is wrong! But it can’t be wrong! What is wrong is the “eternally begotten Son” doctrine! The Scriptures must not line up with the doctrine, but the doctrine must line up with the Scriptures. For the Scriptures are the truth and the Authority!

If JESUS CHRIST, the Son is eternally begotten of the Father, then it also means that he is eternally formed of the Father. Then he cannot say that he is the FIRST and the LAST, but the Second! And that’s what the Traditionalist Trinitarians teach: JESUS is the Second Person of the Godhead. Why! Because the Traditional Trinitarian teaching teaches: “God the Father is of none – he came from none, no beginning (which makes him the FIRST Person). But the Son is unlike the Father, he is eternally begotten or formed of the Father (which makes him the Second Person). The Holy Ghost is not begotten, but eternally proceeding from the Father and the Son (which makes him the Third Person)”.

If JESUS CHRIST is the eternally begotten of the Father, then it means he was a God formed after God the father. So God formed him “in eternity” as “the Eternal Son”, the “Firstborn of every creature” (erroneously used and misinterpreted by Unitarians).

The word “formed”. The word “formed” is used in the creation of the first man Adam (Gen. 2:7). It is also used in forming a man in the womb or belly of his mother (Isa.44:2; Jer. 1:5; Isa. 49:5 and Zech. 12:1).

When the LORD said, there was no God formed before or after me, he was talking about a god created or begotten (believed and taught by pagan nations around Israel).

JESUS CHRIST is not “eternally” begotten of the Father, but in “the fullness of time” (Gal. 4:4), he “was made flesh” (Jn. 1:14) “begotten of the Father” (Jn. 1:14).  And that begetting has a beginning, when he was formed in the womb of his mother, Mary. Mary was the mother of JESUS CHRIST, as the Son, as a man, but not as God. Mary is not “The Mother of God” for God has no mother. Mary was the mother of JESUS as a man. JESUS as a man was born of Mary, making Mary his mother in the flesh. But as God, JESUS has no mother. Actually, as God, Mary is his creature and daughter. JESUS CHRIST is Mary’s “God my Saviour” (Lk. 1:47).

Only Begotten Son Versus Only Begotten God.

Only Begotten Son vs. Only Begotten God. The King James Bible teaches that JESUS CHRIST is “the Only Begotten Son” – Monogenes Uios (Jn. 1:18). But the corrupt versions, following corrupt texts, teach that Christ is “The Only Begotten God” – Monogenes Theos (Jn. 1:18), teaching that JESUS CHRIST is God – Only begotten. It is obviously contradicting the Scriptural doctrine of Isa. 43:10 which says that “I am he. Before me there was no god formed, neither shall there be after me”. (Corrupt versions teach corrupt doctrines. But the correct Bible – Authorized King James Bible teaches correct doctrine.)

Traditionalists following the corrupt versions teach that JESUS CHRIST is God Only Begotten. They teach that JESUS CHRIST is God but a formed God, a begotten God after the FIRST Person God the Father, making JESUS the Second person. They teach that the Father (the FIRST person) is of none, not begotten nor proceeding, absolutely eternal, no beginning. But the Son, JESUS CHRIST they teach is God also, called God the Son, eternally begotten of the Father. But unlike the Father, the Son because he is eternally begotten is not absolutely eternal because he came from God the Father. That he has an eternal beginning, eternal begetting, and eternal birth. Ridiculous!

To avoid the Unitarians’ attack on the Deity of JESUS CHRIST, the Trinitarians added the word “eternally” to the “begotten of the Father”. That’s what the Traditional Christianity did to combat the Arians who teach that JESUS is not God. They created the “eternal Son” doctrine to prove the Deity of Christ. But they erred in this. They produced what they opposed: heresy. Trinitarianism and Unitarianism are both heresies!

The doctrine that JESUS CHRIST is only a man, a creature, a small god, a god made by God but not “The God” must be rejected! But the “eternal Son” doctrine also does not line up with the teachings of the Scriptures and must be also rejected! 

The Trinitarians teach that In the Godhead are the Three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. They teach that JESUS CHRIST is in the Godhead. But the Scriptures teach that JESUS CHRIST is not in the Godhead but rather “The Godhead is in JESUS CHRIST”. “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” (Col. 2:9) Because JESUS is The God.

JESUS CHRIST says: I am the FIRST, and I am the LAST. THE LORD says: I am the FIRST, and I am the LAST. How many are “The FIRST”? Of course, only One! It is God! This God is THE LORD who became flesh and dwelt among us as the Only Begotten Son – no other than OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST!

The Everlasting Father. JESUS CHRIST who was born as “a child”, who was given as “a son” is “The EVERLASTING FATHER” (Isa. 9:6).

THE LORD is our FATHER. “But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.” (Isa.  64:8)

We have only ONE FATHER. “Have we not all ONE FATHER? hath not ONE GOD created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?” (Mal. 2:10)  “And call no man your father upon the earth: for ONE is your FATHER, which is in heaven.” (Mat. 23:9)

If THE LORD is Father, and JESUS CHRIST is also Father, does it mean we have two Fathers? NO! We have only One Father and it is THE LORD. THE LORD is JESUS CHRIST. JESUS CHRIST IS THE LORD. JESUS is OUR FATHER, THE EVERLASTING FATHER!

JESUS CHRIST is not the “Eternal Son” of God, because his Sonship had a beginning. But JESUS CHRIST is the Everlasting Father, the Alpha and the Omega, the FIRST and The LAST. No other than him – the Only One.

To the One God Lord Jesus Christ be all the glory!
