Why are there so many churches today? Are you in one of the false churches and don’t know it? Must we understand the Godhead to be in the True Church? God says in Romans 1:20, “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.” God says in Isaiah 28:9, “Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine?” Are you willing to be corrected in doctrine? This will really open your eyes to the truth. |
There Is Only One God
They prove there is only one God the Father and He is the same one God the Father who was on earth and who is coming back again and His name is Jesus.
- Isaiah 43:10: “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 (God the Father).”
- John 1:10: “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not (God the Father).”
- 1 John 3:1-2: “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is (God the Father).”
- 1 Timothy 6:14-15: “That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords.”
- Revelation 11:17: “We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come (God the Father).”
- John 14:8-9: “Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, 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?”
Read the rest of this book for full explanation.
Be honest and open-hearted for truth.
False doctrine won’t be in rapture: Matthew 15:9.
Jesus is coming very, very soon!
God's Form of Doctrine
Let us just look at a few scriptures about doctrine before we go into subject of the GODHEAD and the true CHURCH. God is very strict about His doctrine so my warning to you is to take heed to what you read here.
- Matthew 15:9, God says, “But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”
- Romans 16:16, God says, “Mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.”
- 1 Timothy 4:16, “Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.”
- Romans 6:17, God says, “Ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.”
Yes, dear reader, God has His form of doctrine and He wants you and me to follow that form. Men have changed the form but God is not going to accept their old man-made doctrine as is proven in Matthew 15:9.
Now let us start into our subject with an honest heart and a willing mind. Let us pray: “Oh God, if this is truth, I want it and if it is not truth, destroy this doctrine by Your Word.”
To understand the GODHEAD, we must get started off on the right track or we will never be able to make the scriptures harmonize and agree. The scriptures must agree and harmonize or else we are putting the wrong meaning on them or we are twisting them up in order to fit our doctrine. Jesus said men would do that very thing, so please let us be very careful not to take the wrong meaning out of His word (2 Peter 3:16).
God's Thought or Plan
Now, we shall prove our doctrine by the Word of God.
- Acts 15:18, “Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.” How did God know all His works before He ever started them? By THOUGHTS, of course.
- Isaiah 42:9, “Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.” Yes, God knew everything before it happened, but only in THOUGHT or PLAN. Webster’s Dictionary says the word LOGOS means THOUGHT. You and I were with God before He ever made us, but only in thought.
- Ephesians 1:4, “According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world.”
- Psalm (139:16), “Thine eyes did see my substance (meaning body), yet being unperfect; and in thy book (meaning plan or blueprint) all my members were written (meaning hands, feet, legs, etc.), which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.” Praise our God for those verses because we can commence to see a great mystery start to open up.
- Jeremiah 1:5, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee.”
Yes, God knew us by His LOGOS, which means THOUGHT. False teachers try to tell us that there was another god with the Father in the beginning and they say the Word has reference to that another god. The word LOGOS never means another god. Please look it up in the Greek language. Never does the word LOGOS mean another person.
God Counted Things That Did Not Exist As Though They Did Exist
- Romans 4:17, “(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.”
Dear reader, the thought we want you to get you from that scripture is that God counted things that did not exist as though they did exist. The things that God did not have as yet in the beginning He counted them as though He did actually have them.
My friend, you must agree with me that we were with the Father before the world was, but only in His THOUGHT or LOGOS. Ephesians 1:4 and Romans 8:29 prove that.
- Ephesians 1:4, “According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world.”
Romans 8:29, “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.”
God Counted His Flesh as Though He Already Had It When It Did Not Exist as Yet
- Zechariah 12:10, “And they shall look upon me whom they have pierced.”
- Isaiah 26:19, God the Father says, “Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise.” See Matthew 27:52-53 for the fulfillment of that prophecy in Isaiah 26:19. Yes, many dead men arose when Jesus arose.
My friend, God the Father did all the speaking in the Old Testament as far as God was concerned, and you can see by the scriptures we have used that He was already counting His flesh body when He did not actually have it yet in the Old Testament.
False teachers try to tell us that God the Father had another God or Spirit with Him by using such scriptures as John 17:5. Jesus said, “And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.” But these false teachers fail to search out in God’s word how the man Christ Jesus was with the Father before the world was. They think that John 17:5 proves He was actually there. But if you turn to God’s Word (Isaiah 44:8; Isaiah 46:9; Deuteronomy 32:39), you will find how false their interpretation of John 17:5 is. Let us read what it says in those verses.
- Isaiah 44:8, “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.”
- Isaiah 44:6, “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.”
- Isaiah 46:9, “Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me.”
- Deuteronomy 32:39, “See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me.”
Those verses we have just quoted are proof enough that God was not hiding two more gods and would produce them later. But these false teachers seem to be very full of wisdom and knowledge because they know of two more distinct gods besides Jesus.
Sure God the Father had a son and that son was in God’s thought or plan of action. No one can make these two scriptures agree and harmonize unless they put the right interpretation on them. Try to harmonize these two verses, Isaiah 44:8 and John 17:5.
- Isaiah 44:8, “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.”
- 17:5. Jesus said, “And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.”
If you say that the Son was actually with the Father in the beginning, then you make the word of God contradict itself. But if you say the Son was with the Father only in His Thought, which means LOGOS, then the scriptures will agree and harmonize.
God Was Manifested in the Flesh
In order to try to prove your false doctrine of the trinity, you may say Jesus became another God later. But you are wrong once again because God said in Isaiah 43:10, “before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.”
Then who else was Jesus but the one and only God Himself. These scriptures prove Jesus was the one and only God.
- Jude 1:25, “To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever.”
- Revelation 4:8, “And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.”
Just because God the Father put on a robe of flesh and called that robe His Son, that did not make three gods out of Him.
- 1 Timothy 3:16, “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”
- Luke 1:35, “And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.”
In other words, God the Father became human but He did not die as a Divine Spirit. Yes, God died as a man or human being as is proven in the scriptures.
- 1 John 3:16, “Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.”
- Acts 20:28, “Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.”
God was and is eternal and it was absolutely impossible for Him to die but He made it possible by putting on human life and become one of us. Hebrews 2:14 says, “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same.”
Did you know that the Son or Lamb was slain before the foundation of the world? Yes, indeed He was. But how? In God’s thought or LOGOS. Revelation 13:8 says, “And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” He was slain when it was time in God’s plan or thought.
Where Did the Son Come From?
The Bible plainly tells you where the Son came from if you will only believe what the Bible says. Galatians 4:4 says, “But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law.” Yes friend, the Son was made and He came from a woman.
What does it mean when it says this, “when the fulness of the time was come?” My friend, it shows once again that God had a plan and when it was time in that plan for God to actually have a Son, He begat Him a Son and made this Son of a woman.
God never set His Son from heaven. But since He has a Son now, which is His body of glorified flesh, He can send Him from heaven but He Himself will be in that Son or flesh.
- 2 Corinthians 5:19, “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.”
- 1 John 3:1-2, “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.”
Trinity friend, when you are dealing with the Godhead, if you only keep this in mind, you will never get mixed up in any way and no one will be able to catch you twisting the scriptures. Here is the thing to remember:
- When you think of the Son, always think of the human side or man part of the Godhead.
- When you think of the Father, always think of the divine side or invisible part.
- When we see the Father, we shall see Him as the Lord Jesus Christ and we will never see any other God beside Him (1 John 3:1-2).
- The Father is a Spirit and is invisible.
- The Son is a man and is visible.
Jesus was both man and that Spirit. He was both man and God. He was the only God in the Godhead and He also is the only man in the Godhead.
- 1 Timothy 2:5, “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”
- Titus 2:13, “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.”
- Revelation 4:8, “And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.”
- Jude 1:25, “To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever.”
- Revelation 1:7-8, “Behold, 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. 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.”
Listen, trinity friend, you are not doing so well because in James 2:19 it says this, “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well.”
You trinity people say by the mouth you believe in only one God but by heart you actually believe in three Gods. You say three persons to make it sound easier. Every preacher tries to prove his doctrine by the Bible, but when he runs up against truth, his doctrine fails and he either accepts truth or is hardened against it. It is dangerous to reject the truth; so take heed to what this teaches you. My scriptures harmonize and agree, so it has to be the truth.
It is dangerous to reject knowledge. Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.”
Let Us Make Man
Genesis 1:26, “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” As soon as they see the word “us”, they think that God had another God or spirit with Him, but their doctrine will not agree with the rest of God’s word. How would you or any one else make these four verses of scriptures agree and harmonize? Genesis 1:26 and John 17:5 with Isaiah 44:8 and Isaiah 43:10.
- Genesis 1:26, “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.”
- John 17:5, “And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.”
- Isaiah 44:8, “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.”
- Isaiah 43:10: “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.”
The only way those verses will harmonize and agree is to understand that God was counting that Son as though He already had Him. Romans 4:17 says, “calleth those things which be not as though they were.” In Zechariah 12:10, God the Father says, “And they shall look upon me whom they have pierced.” That prophecy was given 487 years before Christ or 487 years before the body or flesh ever existed. So dear reader, we can see from that prophecy that God the Father saw His own flesh crucified long before He ever had one, but counted it as though He did have it. Not one of those false teachers can produce one little scripture where the Son did any of the talking in the Old Testament.
Why try to make people believe that there was some one else or some other God who put on that robe of flesh in order to be visible? Let us compare these two scriptures and see how many gods did the creating.
- Genesis 1:26, “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” The way that verse is written sounds as though God actually has another God helping Him do the creating, but when we get over into another verse we find that no other god helped Him.
- Isaiah 44:24, “Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself.”
We must accept the truth in order to make the word of God agree and that is this: God had His Son with Him in thought or plan only and He spoke as though that Son was actually there. Yes, God counted things that be not as though they were (Romans 4:17).
Is it not wonderful when God opens truth to us and lets us in on some of the deep mysteries of God? I just praise Him for this great truth about His eternal Godhead.
How did God make man in His own image? Here is the secret of that mystery. God in His LOGOS or THOUGHT knew what He was going to look like when He would put on a robe of flesh in the future and so He made the first man, Adam, in that likeness or figure of the body that He knew He would have. Figure means shape or form. In Romans 5:14, we find this statement, “even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.” “Was to come” shows that Adam was made first and the other one was to come later. Yes, Adam was made actually before the Son of God was made, but he Son of God was made before Adam in God’s thought or plan first. Adam was created 4000 years before the Son Jesus was born. Therefore, Adam actually existed before the Son Jesus did. But in the plan or thought of God, the Son was before Adam or anyone else.
In Revelation 3:14, we find this statement, “These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God.”
- Jesus the Son was the true witness.
- Jesus the Son was faithful.
- Jesus the Son was the beginning of God’s creation.
Yes, Jesus the Son or body was the first thing that God the Father put in His blueprint or plan when it came time for God to make man. He made man in the likeness of His Son, which was God’s own form or shape or image He knew he would have in the future.
To prove that God the Father made man in the image of His Son, which was God’s own body or flesh that He knew He was going to have in the future, let us turn to the following verse:
- Romans 8:29, “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.”
The word “conformed” means to be like or similar form. Romans 8:29 proves God knew what He Himself would look like when He made man in the exact form or shape or figure of the thought He had in His plan (Romans 5:14).
Human Nature and Divine Nature of Jesus (Part 1)
We, Jesus Name people, believe Jesus is God and the only God. Therefore, He is the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost Himself.
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD (Isaiah 1:18).
- Was Jesus a man? Yes, “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5).
- Was Jesus a Spirit? Yes, “But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness” (Romans 8:9-10).
- As a man, Jesus was the Son of God (Luke 1:35).
- As a man, Jesus was person.
- As a man, Jesus suffered and died.
- As a man, Jesus was visible.
- As a man or human, Jesus prayed.
- As a man, Jesus ate.
- But Jesus, being God Himself, walked on waters (Job 9:8; Matthew 14:25).
- Jesus, being God Himself, was an invisible Spirit (1 Timothy 6:14-16).
- Jesus, being God Himself, healed the sick (Isaiah 35:4-5; Matthew 11:5; Luke 7:19-23).
- Jesus, being God Himself, was the Creator (Colossians 1:15-18).
- Jesus, being God Himself, raised His own body (John 2:19).
Why did Jesus pray if He was God? Because He was human as we are. Both the human nature and the divine nature of the Godhead. Therefore, the human nature prayed to the divine nature. Jesus was both human and divine, both man and God. He never prayed as God but He prayed as man. He never died as God but He died as man (1 John 3:16). Yet Jesus did all by Himself and for Himself (Colossians 1:16-17; Isaiah 44:24).
Just because God put on a robe of flesh and called that flesh His Son, that did not make three gods out of Him as you trinity people try to teach. You deny the Father’s name to be Jesus. You only apply the name Jesus to the Son. So your priests and preachers are fulfilling this scripture everyday and are ignorant of what you are doing. You may be honest in your doctrine but that does not make your doctrine correct by any means. Proverb 14:12 says, “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”
God’s Great Name among the Gentiles
- Malachi 1:6 and 11, “A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name? For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.”
We will ask you preachers, “What name is it that is great among the Gentiles?” Praise God the Father that we, Jesus Name people, know that name and that name is Jesus.
Yes, trinity friend, Jesus is the name of God the Father and that is the name that was to be preached to the Gentiles. Acts 9:4-16 shows that the Lord God’s name is Jesus and Paul was commanded to preach that name to the Gentiles.
- And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. 7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man. 8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus. 9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink. 10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. 11 And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth, 12 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight. 13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem: 14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name. 15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: 16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
Jesus Christ Is in Us
Ephesians 4:6 says, “the Father is in us.” The word “Father” is not a proper name. 1 Corinthians 6:19 says, “the Holy Ghost is in us.” “Holy Ghost” is not a proper name. 1 John 4:12 says, “God is in us.” “God” is not a proper name. The words “Father”, “Son”, “God” and “Holy Ghost” are title names but not proper names. Now, let us go to the scriptures where we can find out the proper name of the one that is in us. 2 Corinthians 13:5 says, “Jesus Christ is in us.” Trinity friend, does that not prove that Jesus is the one and only God the Father that is in us? Therefore, He is the Holy Ghost also.
One Spirit
- Ephesians 4:4 says, “There is one Spirit.”
- 2 Corinthians 3: 17 says, “The Lord is that Spirit.”
- Acts 4:24 says, “Lord, Thou art God.”
Now, trinity friend, since there is only one Spirit and the one Spirit is the Lord ad the Lord is God, is not His name Jesus?
There Is None beside Jesus
Elohim
God Fills All Space
- Jeremiah 23:23-24, “Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off? Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.”
- Deuteronomy 4:39, “Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.”
My friend, God as a Spirit fills all space but God as a man was in one place and was visible. Jesus was both that Father in heaven and that man on earth. Jesus said He was in heaven right at the very time He was standing on earth. John 3:13, “And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.”
The Spirit Dwells in the Flesh
No Other God
Phillip said, “Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, 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?” (John 14:8-9).
But the poor trinity preachers are preaching that there is another Father somewhere beside Jesus, not knowing what thus saith the Lord.
Trinity friend, do you think God was fooling when He put these three verses in His Word (Isaiah 43:10; Isaiah 44:8; Isaiah 46:9)? Why won’t you believe God and let the old false doctrine of the trinity go?
Remember, we must understand His, not their, Godhead. “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse” (Romans 1:20). Jesus is the name of the Godhead.
Men Are Willingly Ignorant
Trinity friend, if you knew where that old false teaching of the trinity came from, you would certainly quit believing and teaching such doctrine.
If you are honest, you will look into this matter of the Godhead and trinity doctrine, but if you are not honest, you will remain ignorant and willingly so.
I challenge you to o to the library in Salem, Oregon on State Street, the City Library, and if you will look in these books I quote you will certainly get your eyes open like you never have before. I challenge you to go.
- Jesus said, “few there be which would find the truth” (Matthew 7:14).
- Jesus said “men loved darkness rather than light” (John 3:19).
- Jesus said, “Men are willingly ignorant” (2 Peter 3:5).
Are you one of those kinds He spoke of?
The Origin of the Trinity Doctrine
- New International Encyclopedia, Volume 22, Pages 476-477, “Trinity Doctrine”
- World Book Encyclopedia, Volume T, Page 7270, “Trinity Doctrine”
- World Book Encyclopedia, Volume R, Page 6171, “Rome Sits on 7 Hills”
- Encyclopedia Britannica, Volume 22, Page 479, “Trinity Doctrine”
- Canney Encyclopedia of Religions, page 53, “Water Baptism Was Done in Jesus Name until the Development of the Doctrine of the Trinity”
- Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 2, Page 263, “Argument Over Baptism in Jesus Name Started between Pope Stephen and St. Cyripian”
When you go to the library for the information, compare these books especially, The New International Encyclopedia, Volume 22, Pages 476-477 with Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 2, Page 33, Subject “Athanasian Creed” and you will soon see that the Catholic church was the one that started that doctrine and Rome warns you, protestant people, “not to dare say there are three gods but you must believe that these three persons are all separate distinct gods.” Rome sits on seven hills.
Human Nature and Divine Nature of Jesus (Part 2)
- A person has flesh and bones. A Spirit has neither flesh nor bones (Luke 24:39).
- A person has male or female sex. A Spirit is neither male nor female.
- The Son was a man. God the Father was not a man in the beginning (Hosea 11:9).
- The Son had male sex. God the Spirit has neither sex because Spirit is neuter gender, meaning it has no sex. How could God then be three persons?
- The Son was visible. The Father is invisible.
Jesus was both man and God. Jesus was both human and divine both God and man, both Father and Son.
Beware of False Teachers
- Colossians 2:8 “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.”
- Matthew 15:9, “But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”
- 1 Corinthians 1:21, “For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.”
Sure these priests and preachers are well educated by this world but God says “by the wisdom of this world they know not God”. People fall from their smooth words. “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them” (Romans 16:17).
God Was Manifested in the Flesh
My friend, the Bible plainly tells us that God took on Him flesh and blood and became like one of us:
- Hebrews 2:14 says, “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same.”
- 1 Timothy 3:16, “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”
The Glory of God in the Face of Jesus (the Body of Flesh)
- 1 John 3:1-2: “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.”
Yes, my friend, you will never see any other god beside Jesus. So, why not preach the truth now and quit helping Rome spread her filthy doctrine?
God the Father said in Isaiah 42:8, “My glory will I not give to another.” In 2 Corinthians 4:6, God tells us where we will see that glory of His. He said “in the face of Jesus Christ.”
I am so glad that God has given me that knowledge that When I see God, it will be in the face of Jesus Christ.
Here are some more verses that you, trinity people, us to try to prove your doctrine but I am going to use more verses to go with them in order to prove you are wrong in your interpretation of them. We shall quote the verses exactly as is written in God’s Word.
- Acts 7:55-59, “But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul. And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”
Yes, my friend, Stephen saw his God in the face of Jesus Christ and he was talking directly to his God and he called his God by His proper name, which is Jesus.
Right Hand of God
- Mark 14:62, “And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.”
- Psalm 138:7, “Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.”
- Psalm 139:10, “Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.”
Right hand means power. Why don’t it ever say “left hand…”? Yes, Stephen saw the Mighty God Jesus Christ having all power in heaven and earth. God the Father, which is a divine Spirit, invested all His power in that Son of flesh body.
The Lamb is the Light
Remember God said He would not give His glory to another (Isaiah 42:8). So, the Lamb is God Himself in glorified flesh (Revelation 21:23).
All of God You Will Ever See Is in that Body of Flesh
Has any man ever seen Jesus Christ? Absolutely not! Why? Because He is God and no man has ever seen God at any time. John 1:18 says, “No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.” When it say “the Son hath declared him”, it means the Son has told us who the Father was and is.
The Son Tells Who the Father Is
- John 8:19, “Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.”
- 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.”
- John 8:27, “They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.”
That certainly is plain enough language that unless we believe He (Jesus) is the Father, we shall die in our sins. I have had people tell me that Jesus was “a Father” but not “the Father”. But Jesus said, “he that hath seen me hath seen the Father” (John 14:9).
Refuting the Doctrine of the Trinity
Old Testament Compare New Testament
Isaiah 43:10 With Revelation 4:8
Isaiah 44:6 With Revelation 1:17-18
Isaiah 42:8 With Revelation 21:23
Isaiah 35:4-5 With Luke 8:38-39
Exodus 3:14 With John 8:58
Genesis 17:1 With Revelation 1:7-8
Jeremiah 2:13 With John 7:37-39
Malachi 2:10 With John 14:6-10
2 Samuel 22:32 With 1 Corinthians 10:1-4
Trinity people, are you still going to believe the Pope of Rome’s doctrine after looking up those verses? God says in Revelation 18:4, “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”
Yes, God has many good people in these different churches and He is pleading with them to get straightened out in doctrine. He will not accept false doctrine.
The Spirit of Truth
- John 16:13, “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.”
- John 14:26, “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”
The Holy Ghost is given to lead us in all truth.
Jesus is the Name of the Only God
You, trinity people (in order to get around the truth of Isaiah 9:6 where it says “his name shall be called” all those title names) will say that He would just be called that, but you would say that would not mean that He would be all of those.
Let us go to Luke 1:35, “And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.”
That “holy thing” was not only the Son of God but He was God Himself and the only God there ever was or ever will be (Jude 1:25; Titus 2:13; Isaiah 34:10).
Jesus Is the Name of the Invisible God
1 Timothy 6:14-16, “That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting.”
Now, friend, you should be able to see from that reference that Jesus is the One and Only invisible God. Yes, His Son is the glorified body.
Jesus is Both the Father and the Son
- Offspring means flesh or body or son.
- Root means Spirit or Father.
He was David’s son after the flesh but David’s father and creator by the Spirit.
The Name of the Father and of the Son is Jesus
- Luke 10:22 says, “All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.”
Just thinking that there are three persons in the Godhead is not a revelation. So, now, we are going to use the verse that will make you stop and think.
First, did Jesus ascend or descend? Did Jesus control the wind and the waters (Luke 8:24-25)? Did Jesus create all things (Colossians 1:15-18)? Did Jesus have a Son and what was that son’s name if thou canst tell?
- Proverbs 30:4, “Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?”
I would like to hear you, trinity people, explain those verses with you doctrine. The only way you can understand those verses is to admit that the Father’s name is Jesus as well as the Son.
You Can Think You Are Right and Still Be Wrong
Yes, church member, that means you also. Don’t forget you may believe that you are right with all your heart because you might have had experience with God but that is no sign that you will be ready to meet Jesus or be in the perfect church that will leave this earth to miss the great tribulation. God warns you about that in His Word.
- Proverb 14:12, ““There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” Yes, you can think you are right and still be wrong.
The Apostles’ Doctrine on Baptism
Yes, water baptism is a doctrine and you either obey it the way the apostles taught it or you are wrong in your doctrine. The apostles preached water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ or in the name of the Lord, which is Jesus.
- Acts 2:38, “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
- Acts 8:16, “For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.”
- Acts 10:48, “And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord.”
- Acts 19:5, “When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.”
Nowhere in the New Testament can you, trinity preachers and priests, find where an apostle ever commanded the people to be baptized by just saying, “Father and Son and Holy Ghost. No, my trinity friends, you cannot prove your Roman Catholic doctrine of baptism was ever preached by the apostles.
When the apostles preached baptism, they always preached in the name of Jesus Christ or in the name of the Lord, which is Jesus Christ.
The reason these trinity preachers and priests baptize their converts in the group of titles, such as Father and Son and Holy Ghost, is because they believe in the Roman Catholic doctrine of the trinity. Therefore, they want to make sure that they mention all of their three Gods.
Matthew 28:19
In Matthew 28:19, Jesus did not say to repeat the common title name of Father and Son and Holy Ghost over the convert but He said to “baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.”
Now, trinity preachers and priests, we will ask you this question. What is the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost? If you say Jesus is the name, then you doctrine of three gods is shot into pieces.
If you say the one god is Father and the other god is Son and the third god is Holy Ghost, then God Himself makes you out a liar because He does not know those two other gods that you know (Isaiah 44:6; Isaiah 44:8; Isaiah 46:9; Jude 1:25). My, oh my, it must be wonderful to know more than God.
The reason you, trinity preachers and priests, don’t know the name of the Father and Son and Holy Ghost is because you believe in three Gods. Therefore, you cannot correctly interpret Matthew 28:19 and you cannot understand why the apostles always preached baptism in that one and only name, Jesus Christ.
You, trinity preachers and priests, have not one verse of scripture to use to prove the apostles preached your baptism doctrine. That is a real strong statement but it is true. Produce the scripture and then we can say you have the truth.
But until you can produce the scripture whether the apostles ever commanded the people to be baptized in those common title names of Father and Son and Holy Ghost, we will have to confess you belong to your Mother Rome because you are following Rome’s interpretation of Matthew 28:19.
The only reason in the world why these priests and preachers baptize in that group of title names is because they believe in three Gods. If they only believe in one God, they would know His name and would baptize in that one name just like the apostles did. Any school teacher or professor will tell you that the word “Father” is a title name but not a proper name of any one. They will tell the same thing about the words “Son” and “Holy Ghost.”
Did Jesus say in Matthew 28:19 to just repeat the word “Son” over any one? No, indeed He did not. He said to baptize in the name of the Son. Well, what is the proper name of the Son if the Son is not the Son’s name? Jesus Christ, of course, is His proper name.
Then if we must interpret to find out the name of the Son, don’t you suppose we must also find out the name of the Father and of the Holy Ghost?
Jesus said in Matthew 28:19 “to baptize in the name,” not names, but singular name.
The Whole Family in Heaven and Earth Is Named
- Ephesians 3:15, “the whole family in heaven and earth is named.”
When it says the whole family in heaven is named in that name, it does not mean that there is a family of gods up there. No, indeed it means God and all His angels bear that name and His true people on earth bear that same name. That name is Jesus.
Did you ever hear of those Jesus Name people? Did you know these trinity churches, which are daughters of Rome, have cast us, Jesus Name people, out because we preach that the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is Jesus? And we baptize in that name and you don’t.
Hated for the Sake of the Name of Jesus
Trinity preachers and priests, what other kind of lie will you hatch up when you find out you are left to go though the great tribulation along with the ones you have taught false doctrine to? Here is our proof about the true church and the false. One will be taken and the other left.
- Isaiah 66:5, “Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.”
Trinity friend, why do you want to miss being the bride of Jesus Christ? Because you are not willing to accept the truth on account of the persecutions or what some people might say?
God warns that the devil’s ministers would come as angel of light and as the preachers of righteousness. So why be fooled by the old devil and miss the bride when you can have the truth if you want it?
Read 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 and you will that the devil uses God’s own word to fool the people. He uses the same verses of scripture that the apostles used but he puts a different meaning on them.
- 2 Corinthians 11:13-15, “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.”
How the Apostles Obeyed Matthew 28:19
- Peter preached baptism in Jesus Name (Acts 2:38).
- Paul preached baptism in Jesus name (Acts 19:1-5).
- Phillip preached baptism in Jesus name (Acts 8:16).
Preacher friends, don’t you suppose, if the apostles would have understood Matthew 28:19 like you do, we would have found baptism preached somewhere in the word of God in that form by the apostles. There is only one verse of scripture in the entire Bible where you can find such a command, and that is Matthew 28:19.
To find obedience to that command, we must go to other scriptures in the word of God. Therefore, we go to the apostles’ doctrine found in the following verses:
- Acts 2:38, “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
- Acts 8:16, “For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.”
- Acts 19:5, “When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.”
- Galatians 3:27, “For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.”
- Romans 6:3-6, “Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.”
- 1 Corinthians 6:11, “And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.”
- Colossians 2:12, “Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.”
And above all, we must be baptized in Jesus name to be obedient to this scripture. “And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him” (Colossians 3:17). Baptism is both word and deed. But be sure you use the right word.
Water Baptism by Immersion
Remember, God has His form of doctrine and it also includes His form of baptism an we must obey that form in order not to be mixed up in the doctrines of men. Here is our proof that God has a certain form of doctrine.
- Romans 6:17, “Ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.”
Which form of doctrine have you obeyed? The form that the apostles used, which was immersion in Jesus name, or you just sprinkled in a group of common titles instead of in a proper name?
No, my friend, God will not change His form of doctrine to please you. But you better obey His form of doctrine in order to please Him.
The True Church
As we said before, the Holy Ghost is given to us to lead us in all truth. Every church has some truth, and every church tries to prove their doctrine by the Bible, but the only way you can tell for sure whether that church has the truth or not is to compare their doctrine with what the apostles taught.
Here is the difference between the true church and the false churches. Yes, my friend, there is only one church because Jesus started only one. So you either belong to that true church or you are in one of the false ones.
The true church teaches these things for its doctrine:
- One God, which is a Spirit and is invisible, but became visible by putting on a robe of flesh (1 Timothy 3:16; 1 John 3:16; Acts 20:28; Isaiah 43:10)
- Baptism by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38; Acts 8:16; Acts 19:5; Colossians 3:17; Romans 6:3-5; 1 Corinthians 6:11; Luke 24:47; Galatians 3:27; Matthew 28:19)
- Baptism of the Spirit with evidence of speaking in other tongues (John 15:26; Acts 2:4; Acts 1:1-6; Acts 10:43-48; Isaiah 28:9-12)
The False Church
- Three persons in the Godhead, such as, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, each one of these persons is separate and distinct from each other, and each one is God. Scripture reference: they have none.
- Water baptism in a group of titles such as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, instead of the proper name of Jesus. Scripture reference: they twist Matthew 28:19. They have no other scripture, not even one, because they don’t know the name.
- Birth of the Spirit. Some teach the truth of this doctrine but others teach it false and cannot tell any one when they received it. They say, “Take it by faith and you have it.” Others deny. It is for us now in our time; read Acts 2:39 and see it is for us.
The Absolute Necessity to Be Born of Water and of the Spirit
Now, if we, Jesus Name people, can just preach old Rome out of them, then they will see that we are right about the Godhead and they will get baptized in Jesus name.
Do you know, trinity friend, that history proves that the Protestant Church got doctrine of the trinity from the Catholic Church? Yes, indeed, so I urge you once more to go to the library in Salem and get wised up on this Godhead matter. New International Encyclopedia, Volume 22, Pages 476-477.
God says we must understand His Godhead or we are without excuse (Romans 1:20). Just because you have the Holy Ghost won’t excuse you. Read through these verses in rotation and get your eyes open to the truth (Acts 2:38; Romans 6:17; Romans 16:17-18).
- Acts 2:38, “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
- Romans 6:17, “But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.”
- Romans 16:17-18, “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.”
Please don’t let the devil make you believe because you have received the baptism of the Holy Ghost that you are all set to be in the bride of Christ. No, indeed, trinity friend, you will never be in that number that will be caught up to meet Jesus unless you take His name in water baptism. I am going to show you a good man in the Bible that was loved of God so much that God sent an angel to tell him how he could get saved. This man was a devout man and had his whole house under subjection but he was still unsaved yet. Let us see how he got saved.
- Acts 11:13-14, “And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter; Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.”
This man had already received the baptism of the Spirit before he went to the water to be baptized, but the apostle Peter commanded him to be baptized in the name of the Lord, which is Jesus Christ, of course.
Read Acts 10:43-48. Yes, Cornelius received the Holy Ghost and when he got it, he spoke with tongue, the same as you trinity people do. But Cornelius was not born of the water yet and Peter knew it was absolutely necessary, that is why he commanded water baptism to be done in Jesus name.
Now, trinity friend, why did Cornelius have to be baptized in water in Jesus name after he had already received the Spirit? Why? Because Jesus said no man can get in unless he is born of the water and of the Spirit.
Sure, trinity friend, if you have spoken in other tongues, you have been born of the Spirit. But God wants to use His Spirit to guide you in all truth. So why not throw over that false water baptism form you have been fooled in and get it done the right way by being baptized by immersion in Jesus name. Remember Romans 6:17.
References on Water Baptism
The Canney Encyclopedia of Religion, page 53, in the City Library at Salem, Oregon, says this, “The early church always baptized in the name of Jesus Christ until the development of the doctrine of the trinity, afterwards they baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 2, Page 263, shows plainly that it was the two big Catholic leaders, hundreds of years ago, that got into an argument over water baptism, whether its should be done in Jesus name or whether it should be done in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Pope Stephen and St. Cyripian were those two big leaders.
Better come out of Rome and follow the apostles’ doctrine because they never preached God was three persons (Revelation 18:4; Revelation 17:5-9).
A People for His Name
I want to use some verses that I surely wish you, trinity people, would consider with all your heart.
When God catches away His people, you will find they will be the Jesus Name people.
- Acts 15:14, “Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.” We, Jesus Name people, are the only people that are called by His name. We know who our Father is; it’s Jesus.
- Malachi 3:16-17, “Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
- Psalm 91:14, “Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.”
Here is the scripture that you, trinity people, will understand after the Lord catches away His bride. Zechariah 14:9, “And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.” Isaiah 29:24 shows you are erring in spirit and doctrine. Read it but you learn truth later.
Trinity friend, God knew the doctrine of God being three persons would spread over the earth and that is why He put that kind of scripture in the Bible as Zechariah 14:9.
Therefore, you, trinity people, have been fooled by the old devil’s doctrine; will be left to go through the great tribulation; and then you will learn doctrine and you will quit erring in spirit. Did you know that you cannot err in Spirit until you have the Spirit? So you can see from this reference that God is talking to a Spirit filled people. Isaiah 29:24 says, “They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.”
Come Out of Her, My People
Where in the Bible does God say He is three persons or three personalities or three Spirits? The Roman Catholic church claims that, and all these other churches over the earth agree with her and are her daughters because they got their doctrine from her. God says, “Come out of her, my people” (Revelation 18:4).
Some churches have come out of her farther than others, such as this, for example, some see water baptism must be done by immersion or burial and they are correct but others want to hold on Rome’s form of sprinkling, which is contrary to God’s word. Proof: Colossians 2:12; Romans 6:3-6; Acts 8:38-39
The trinity pentecost people are still out of Rome farther, yet because some of them have accepted the birth of the Spirit by speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance, but the rest of the daughters fight against the speaking in other tongues as the evidence of the birth of the Spirit. Let us see what God says about that doctrine: Mark 16:15-20; Acts 2:4; Acts 19:1-6; Acts 10:43-48.
So, you can see that some of the Rome’s daughters are less like their mother than others because some have gotten their eyes open farther than others.
Now, if we can just get you, trinity pentecost people to throw away that old trinity doctrine of three persons, which means three gods and also throw away Rome’s interpretation of Matthew 28:19, then you will no longer be called harlot any more. But until you come out of Rome the entire way, you are still a harlot and a daughter of your mother Rome (Revelation 17:5-9; Revelation 18:4).
Remember, God is going to have a church without spot or wrinkle, not churches but a church. You are either in that true church or you are going to miss being in that church when Jesus catches it away. Will ignorance excuse you or me? No, indeed, it will not as is proven in these scriptures.
- Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.”
- Romans 1:20, “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.”
Various Offices but One God
- Isaiah 54:5, “For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.”
- 2 Corinthians 11:2, “For I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.”
So, friend, you can easily see that Jesus Himself fills all of the offices such as the Father and the Son and the Husband and the Holy Ghost, etc.
The Holy Ghost office will soon close. The Sonship office will close at the end of the thousand year millennium. And still God will be the same God and His name will still be Jesus.
- Ephesians 1:21, “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.”
God Was in Christ
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.”
Revelation 22:3-4, “And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.”
You mean these two, the Lamb and God, only have one face and one name? Yes, my friend, God is the invisible Spirit that will only be seen in the face of Jesus.
2 Corinthians 4:6 proves the above statement. 1 John 3:1-2 proves it again.
- 2 Corinthians 4:6, “For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”
- 1 John 3:1-2, “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.”
Therefore, my friend, to make all scripture harmonize and agree, we must put this interpretation on the scripture.
- The Son part of the Godhead is the flesh or man or human or visible part.
- The Father part of the Godhead is the Spirit or the invisible part.
- The Holy Ghost part is the portion of God’s spirit that gives us into all truth. It is not the blessed third person of the Godhead that you, poor blind trinity priests and preachers, tell your people about.
The Holy Ghost
- 1 John 4:13, “Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.”
- Acts 2:17, “And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh.”
- 2 Corinthians 13:5, “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?”
- Colossians 1:27, “To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
- John 14:15-18, “If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.”
That last statement of John 14:15-18 surely proves beyond a shadow of doubt that Jesus was not only their comforter right then but it proves He was also the other Comforter that was going to come back. Yes, the Holy Ghost, which is the Father and His name is Jesus, was already present with them in His own body of flesh but He was not in their body yet. So He took His body, which was His Son, to heaven and returned and was in them by Spirit.
Glory to our God because we know His great name! Therefore, He is going to set us on high because we obeyed Him and know His name (Revelation 3:7-10; Psalm 91:14; Malachi 3:16-17).
When you, trinity people, see in the Word of God where it speaks of the Spirit as “He” or “Him”, right away you think that the Spirit must be a person. But let me help you on that thought. Let us turn to Acts 12:10 where it calls a gate a “his”. In Proverbs 8:1-2, it speaks of wisdom of being a “she”. Is a “gate” a man or a person? Is “wisdom” a female? James 1:4 says, “But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” Is “patience” a female because it spoke of patience as “her”. In Psalm 34:2, David called hi soul a “her”. Was David’s soul a female and his body a male?
Trinity friend, don’t you see how easy it is to get the wrong understanding of God’s Word if we are not very careful?
Don’t let the Pope of Rome make you swallow that doctrine any longer that God is three persons. Prove all things by what thus saith the Lord.
Jesus is the First and the Last
When the devil tries to put your mind that God must be three persons, always turn to these references and they will keep you straightened out.
God says He is the First One and the Last One (Isaiah 44:6). So how can you, trinity people, get two more? Jesus said he is the First and the Last (Revelation 1:7-8). So, He is the only God.
God said He doesn’t know any other beside Himself (Isaiah 44:8). How can you, trinity people, know more than God then, because you say you know of two more than God Himself. God said He does not know any more gods that are like Him. Your trinity doctrine teaches that there are three Gods and that these three Gods are all equal and coeternal, meaning they all have the same power and glory.
These scriptures prove how far wrong your doctrine is.
- Isaiah 46:9, God said there is none like Him.
- Isaiah 42:8, God said He would not give His glory to any other.
You, trinity people, take the glory away from one God and give it to another according to the teaching of your doctrine, because you do not claim that Jesus is God the Father Himself. You claim Jesus is just the Son.
Godhead Explained at the Baptism of Jesus
- Matthew 3:16-17, “And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
You, trinity people, say the Son was standing in the water and He was a person. You are absolutely right that the Son was a person because He was a male sex man. The first person and the last person in the Godhead was standing in the water. A person was flesh and bones. Therefore, that Son was God Himself as a person. That Son or body of flesh was God’s person and you won’t see God any other way except by His person. His person is His visible part; His Spirit is invisible.
Then you, trinity people, say the blessed third person was that bird that lit upon Him. Since when is a bird a person? Why did your blessed third person have to put on feathers and wings in order to fly? Don’t try to tell any one that a person looks like a bird. Luke 3:22 says it was the Holy Ghost in the form of a dove.
Then you, trinity people, say that the first person or God spoke from heaven was the voice of the Spirit and you or any one else cannot tell what the Spirit is, neither can you describe a Spirit. So, how can you say it was the blessed firs person from heaven while the other two persons were down here on earth?
Let us be reasonable now and see if I am not right when I say that the Son was the only person of the Godhead and He was God Himself in the form of man.
God the Father Himself put on flesh or took upon Himself the form of man and dwelt among us. Therefore, He was not only in heaven as Spirit but He was on earth as man, but He still remained the only true God. Please read 1 John 5:20-21.
- 1 John 5:20-21, “And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. Little children, keep yourselves from idols.”
God was not only n earth in the form of a man but He took Himself the form of a dove. So God was in heaven above and upon the earth beneath, in heaven as a Spirit but on earth as a man and bird. That dove was just another way our great God had of manifesting or showing Himself. He can do anything for there is nothing impossible with our God but His name is Jesus. Read these verses and see if I am right (2 Corinthians 5:19; 1 Timothy 3:16; 1 John 3:16; Acts 20:28; Deuteronomy 4:39; John 20:27-29).
- 2 Corinthian 5:19, “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.”
- 1 Timothy 3:16, “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”
- 1 John 3:16, “Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.”
- Acts 20:28, “Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.”
- Deuteronomy 4:39, “Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.”
- John 20:27-29, “Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.”
May God help you to see the truth about this subject of the Godhead and that will help you worship God in Spirit and in truth (John 4:24). You must do it!
The Only Plan of Salvation
No other plan can be used (1 Corinthians 3:10-12; Romans 16:17-18; 2 John 1:9-11).
- 1 Corinthians 3:10-12, “According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble.”
- Romans 6:17-18, “But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.”
- 2 John 1:9-11, “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. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.”
Here are some things you musk know if you expect to be ready to meet Jesus when He comes for His perfect church, which He says will be without spot or wrinkle.
- Ephesians 5:27, “That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.”
Observing Days, and Months, and Times, and Years
- Galatians 4:9-11, “But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.”
Here is more proof: Romans 10:4; Colossians 2:13-18, 2 Corinthians 3:1-16. These few references prove the law of commandments and the sacrificial law were absolutely finished at the cross and now we live under the New Testament covenant. So from the cross on, no man can judge us about what we eat or drink or we keep a certain holy day or the Sabbath because those things are finished and done away with as is proven here: Hose 2:11; Colossians 2:13-16; 2 Corinthians 3:1-16.
Now here are some things you better take heed to because if those people in Paul’s day were not allowed any longer to keep those feast days and Sabbath according to the Old Testament, why do you think you can start to keep some new days and times of the year, which old Rome started hundreds of years ago, after the apostles age?
Yes, old Rome, which claims she is your mother church, started the old pagan holiday of New Years.
Old Rome also started the so-called Sunday Worship because she is the one who set that day aside and most of all churches fall in line with her because they are her offspring and got their doctrines and holidays from her. We now have the Roman calendar and we go by Roman days and time.
New Years or January first got its name from the old pagan god called Janus!
Easter got its name from the goddess of spring called Estara, a pagan goddess.
Christmas is a Catholic word made up of two words such as Christ-Mass and so called Christmas Day was taken from the heathen pagans of December 25th and called the birthday of Christ. Why did Rome take this old pagan heathen feast day of December 25th and call it Christ’s birthday?
Because old Mother Rome wanted to win these old heathen pagans over to her Catholicism and so she taught by taking their big feast day of December 25th and calling it Christ’s birthday that would make them feel good and celebrate together.
Look Christmas and Easter and January and Sunday in the Catholic Encyclopedia and get your eyes open as to how old Rome has the church world following her and her doctrines and holidays, which God never started and neither did one apostle ever preach such a thing nor observe any of such days or doctrines.
No wonder we cannot observe any day of old Rome’s holidays nor Sunday after we read Galatians 4:9-11, Hose 2:11, and Colossians 2:13-16.
We must be completely free from all doctrines and holidays of old Rome and not observe nor believe any of them. If we do, we are spotted up by Rome and we disobey this scripture here: Revelation 18:4.
God is commanding you to come out of old Rome and give up her old doctrines and holidays that she has made the church world drunk with. Notice Revelation 18:1-11. The day is coming soon when men no longer will buy and sell her old Christmas merchandise and the merchants shall weep because they will lose a great profit. Read it and see Revelation 18:11 and 234.
Please remember old Rome does not own all this so-called Christmas merchandise that is bought and sold during the Christmas time but she is the mother of it. All spiritually speaking because she started that Devil Day called December 25th, the so-called Christmas Day.
Did you ever find where an apostle ever observed Christmas of Easter of New Year or Sunday? No man knows what day it is, because our God destroyed the old time law and Sabbaths. Rome made all these others and we now go by Roman calendar time. Read Hose 2:11; Galatians 4:9-11; Colossians 2:13-18.
But now we dare not observe any of old Rome’s holidays or doctrines or we will never be ready to go with Jesus when He comes for His perfect church without spot or wrinkle.
God says come out of her, my people (Revelation 18:4). If you do not come out of her completely, and ignore her holidays and doctrines, you will be left for the greatest tribulation and hell on earth this world will ever experience. Only a few will be ready (Matthew 7:14; Matthew 15:9).
So, I beg you to come out slick and clean and take your stand with the little few who shall be ready to be caught up to glory to miss the great tribulation.
- Here are the perfect ones (Revelation 14:1-5).
- Here you are if you don’t obey (Revelation 14:6-13).
Get busy handing out this information, and be a soul winner for Jesus. Dead heads won’t make it either. We must be on fire for God.
