The Biblical Truth About The Trinity Doctrine
Yeshua (Jesus) is called the ‘Son of God’ because he came into existence by a direct creative act of God just like Adam. (Luke 1:35; 3:38). Yeshua is also the Final Adam. Philippians 2:9-11 ~ “Therefore ➡️ God raised him to the highest place and gave him the name above every name; that in honor of the name given Yeshua, every knee will bow — in heaven, on earth and under the earth.
“Natan’el said, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Isra’el! [speaking to Yeshua]”
GOD ALMIGHTY YAHWEH IS ONE:
Isaiah 45:5 - I am Yahweh; there is no other; besides me there is no God. I am arming you, although you don’t know me.
Deuteronomy 6:4 - Yahweh our God, Yahweh is one!
Mark 12:29 - Yeshua answered, “The most important is, the LORD our God, the LORD is one!” (all caps means referring to God Almighty Yahweh, God is “One” - not 3 in one.)
Mark 12:32 - The Torah-teacher said to him, “Well said, Rabbi [Yeshua]; you speak the truth when you say that he is one, and that there is no other besides him;”
1 Corinthians 11:3 - But I want you to understand that the head of every man is the Messiah, and the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of the Messiah is GOD.
1 Corinthians 8:6 - yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom all things come and for whom we exist; and one Lord, Yeshua the Messiah, through whom were created all things and through whom we have our being.” — (Lord in lower case refers to Yeshua; Jesus) Notice it shows us here that God is one (singular), then it says Yeshua is one (singular). Not 3 in 1, they are each ONE. They are not the same exact being pulled in different parts, but each one.
Numbers 23:19 - God (Yahweh) is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. (Yeshua is the son of man).
The Trinity is NOT found anywhere in the Holy Bible. The Trinity is a doctrine created outside of Gods word, and totally foreign to the Holy Scriptures. It was never taught by Yeshua nor the Apostles. It is a man-made-doctrine by the Roman Church created only after Yeshua ascended to heaven to the right hand of His Father YHWH.
“The Christian Bible, including the New Testament, has no trinitarian statements or speculations concerning a trinitary deity.”—Encyclopædia Britannica.
“In order to articulate the dogma of the Trinity, the [Catholic] Church had to develop her own terminology with the help of certain notions of philosophical origin.”—Catechism of the Catholic Church.
“Look! I see the heavens opened up and the Son of man standing at God’s right hand.”—Acts 7:56.
The Trinity Delusion = A "ManGod" forced by man in Paganized Christendom - doctrines of men. Not from God Almighty who is ONE, YHWH.
Jesus Christ: Yeshua Messiah = The Son of Man; our Mediator; Gods Only Begotten Son. [Begotten has a beginning]. Jesus was born, created. Jesus is the FINAL Adam; Fulfilled what Adam Failed to do. Adam was a son of man. Jesus is “the son of man”.
God Almighty The Father = Yahweh (YHWH), The “ONE” and Only True God; Our Heavenly Father. Our Savior, who sent His Only Begotten Son who is our Messiah Yeshua; Mediator. / GOD ALMIGHTY: Unbegotten, no beginning; does not die, is not man, does not pay for mankind’s sin. Directs His own Holy Spirit, active force (not a person). Jesus can not direct Gods Holy Spirit; only God Almighty directs His Own Holy Spirit. / Jesus tells us directly that he does not do anything 'on his own' and he also: prays to his Father and calls his Father: "my God". To have a God means you can not also be God.
There are no 3 Persons in God: God Almighty (YHWH) is “ONE”. He is united as one with His Son. They are NOT the same being. God Almighty does NOT change nor does He die ever, Jesus died and was SEEN; but “NO ONE HAS SEEN GOD,” we saw His Son and Gods Word came to us through His Son who taught us all, and in doing the will of His Father who SENT Him. GOD ALMIGHTY: does NOT have multiple personalities, is NOT multiples of ONE, does NOT change. Is NOT human man; GOD is Spirit. He does NOT lower himself to pay for the sin of man.
Is God Everywhere? - Where is God? - God Is WHO?
Jesus (Yeshua) spoke about Yahweh’s dwelling place when he said to his disciples: “In the house of my father there are many abodes. . . . I am going my way to prepare a place for you.” (John 14:2) Where did Jesus go? Eventually, he “entered . . . into heaven itself, now to appear before the person of God for us.” (Hebrews 9:24) This account teaches us two important facts about Yahweh God Almighty. First, he has a literal place of dwelling, and second, he is a person, not simply an indefinable force that resides everywhere.
That is why Jesus taught his followers to pray this way:
“Our Father in the heavens,” directing their prayers to a person, Yahweh, who is in a place, namely, the spiritual heavens. (Matthew 6:9; 12:50) This teaching was consistent with the way God’s people had been taught to pray for more than 1,500 years. The oldest writings inspired by God contain the following prayer: “Do look down from your holy dwelling, the heavens, and bless your people.”—Deuteronomy 26:15.
While the Bible always refers to God Almighty Yahweh as having a specific dwelling place, it often speaks of His Holy Spirit in ubiquitous terms. “Where can I go from your spirit, and where can I run away from your face?” asked the psalmist David. (Psalm 139:7) Some have been confused by such references and may conclude that God Almighty is omnipresent. Yet, when considering the context of this and other texts, it becomes clear that Yahweh’s Holy Spirit [power in action, active force] can be extended from his fixed location to any place in the material universe.
Gods All Reaching “Holy Spirit” Force in Action: Like a Father’s hand extending down to console and support his children, Yahweh’s hand —or Holy Spirit direct force in action— can extend to any part of the spiritual realm or the physical universe to accomplish His Own purpose. Hence, the psalmist said: “Were I to take the wings of the dawn, that I might reside there in the most remote sea, there, also, your own hand would lead me and your right hand would lay hold of me.”—Psalm 139:9, 10.
Psalm 113:6 - “He stoops down to look on heaven and earth”.
There is great comfort in having some understanding of Yahweh’s true nature, (Psalm 139:6) realizing that he is not some indefinable, impersonal force permeating everything in the universe. Rather, he is an individual, with a specific place of dwelling and a definite personality characterized by love and tenderness. Such knowledge opens the door to the greatest opportunity possible for any human—the chance to have a lifelong, personal friendship with the ONE True God Almighty Yahweh Sovereign of the universe. (James 4:8) Draw close to God and He will draw close to you.
2 Chronicles 6:33 (CJB) - “then hear from heaven, from where you live; and act in accordance with everything about which the foreigner is calling to you; so that all the peoples of the earth will know your name and fear you, as does your people Isra’el, and so that they will know that this house which I have built bears your name.”
Hebrews 4:13 (AMP) - “And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, and revealed to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account.”
JOHN 17:1-8 (CJB)
“After Yeshua had said these things, he looked up toward heaven and said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, so that the Son may glorify you — 2 just as you gave him authority over all mankind, so that he might give eternal life to all those whom you have given him. 3 And eternal life is this: to know you, the one true God, and him whom you ‘sent’, Yeshua the Messiah.
4 “I glorified you on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. 5 Now, Father, glorify me alongside yourself. Give me the same glory I had with you before the world existed.
6 “I made your name known to the people you gave me out of the world. They were yours, you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7 Now they know that everything you have given me is from you, 8 because the words you gave me I have given to them, and they have received them. They have really come to know that I came from you, and they have come to trust that you sent me.”
1 Timothy 2:5-6
“For God is one (*not 3 in one) and there is but one Mediator between God and humanity, Yeshua the Messiah, himself human, 6 who "gave himself" as a ransom on behalf of all, thus providing testimony to God’s purpose at just the right time.”
The Christendom Paganized Trinity Doctrine began 300 years after Jesus (Yeshua) our Messiah left the earth. Every false religion on the earth at that time had actually adopted some form of a Trinity doctrine into their false religions.
Many religions have their own interpretations of the Trinity teaching. Scriptures are taken and forced into a doctrine of their own choice. The Trinity teaching dates back to the Nicene Creed, a government-sanctioned document the purpose of which was to unify a splitting house of worship, notedly by the Roman Catholic Church (RCC).
GODHEAD:
GodHead may be unfamiliar to some bible readers because more than fifteen different Bibles do not use the word 'godhead'. And perhaps no Bible edited in this century uses 'godhead' in all the three places it is used in the (KJV) King James Version edited in 1611.
Godhead basically means the divine nature or character of God singular noun. Godhead does NOT mean however a 3 in one God.
GREEK: Godship is used, it does not say the Latin word Godhead, which came from the Roman Catholic doctrine of the Triune God 300 years after Christ. Their own man made three in 1 co-equal God. / Godship actually means rank, character, or personality of ‘a God’.
The Greek manuscript word should be rendered 'divinity' or 'deity'. Many Bible scholars and translators have realized that 'Godhead' does not convey clear meaning.
'Godhead' in Colossians 2:9 of the KJV is a translation of the Greek theotees, which is "an abstract noun for theos," the usual Greek word translated 'God'. (Greek-English Lexicon, Bauer, Arndt, Gingrich) "An abstract noun is one indicating a quality, as goodness, beauty." (Funk and Wagnalls Standard Dictionary, International Edition). From this it is seen that when Paul wrote of Christ Jesus that "In Him dwelleth all the fulness of deity" he said that all the qualities of God dwelt in Christ Jesus our Lord. In view of that, one may be sure that whatever 'godhead' may be thought to mean, it surely does not properly represent the meaning of the Greek words Paul wrote.
God the Father brought all His qualities into His Son, Jesus, who taught us all the word of his Father, to encourage and develop those divine qualities in all of us, Gods children. (Colossians 1:17-23)
Lets go over some scriptures here below that clearly show us that Jesus (Yeshua) is ‘not equal’ to nor is he the same exact being as His Father Yahweh.
2 Peter 1:17-18 (CJB)
”For we were there when he received honor and glory from God the Father; and the voice came to him from the grandeur of the Sh’khinah, saying, “This is my son, whom I love; I am well pleased with him!” 18 We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.”
This scripture not only tells where Jesus’ glory came from, but also when. Jesus did not possess any glory ‘on his own’, it was given by the Father to him when he was 30 years old in front of witnesses at Jesus’ baptism. If he was deity in his own right, he would not have needed the Father to give glory to him, nor would he have had to wait until his baptism to receive it. Here, it is stressed in the scriptures that Jesus is God’s SON, not God Almighty Himself. This points to Jesus’ subordinate place ‘along the side of his Father’. This shows us that Jesus and His Father are not “equal” as the Trinity teaches.
John 14:28
You heard me tell you, ‘I am leaving, and I will come back to you.’ If you loved me, you would have been glad that I am going to the Father; because the Father is greater than I.
Jesus here points out in no uncertain terms that he and His Father are not equal. In contrast to other scriptures that only insinuate a point, this scripture is direct in nature and states very clearly that the Father is greater than Jesus. They are NOT equal!
Philippians 2:9-11
Therefore God raised him to the highest place and gave him the name above every name; that in honor of the name given Yeshua, every knee will bow in heaven, on earth and under the earth and every tongue will acknowledge that Yeshua the Messiah is Adonai to the glory of God the Father.
God Almighty Yahweh did the exalting and did so to his OWN glory.
This entire passage speaks to God’s sole authority to do what He wants, in this case exalting His own Son. Jesus is NOT the exalt-ER, but the exalt-EE. One cannot exalt another unless there is superior position, rank or authority. Jesus is clearly the lesser of the two.
Matthew 24:36
“But when that day and hour will come, no one knows — not the angels in heaven, not the Son, only the Father. For the Son of Man’s coming will be just as it was in the days of Noach.
While Jesus was certainly blessed by God the Father with extraordinary powers, the claim that Jesus is all knowing is completely and utterly denied by Jesus’ own words here.
Jesus does not know the hour in which the actual end will take place ‘of this world system of things’, only His Father knows. There exists no scripture, let alone Jesus’ own words, that says he is all-knowing. Some Apostles would ask Jesus that since he knew all things would he please explain this or that, but to claim that these scriptures say Jesus knows all more than the Father does, would be in direct conflict with Jesus’ own words here.
HOW DID THE TRINITY BEGIN:
This man made doctrine rooted and began around the Third Century.
It took 3 man-made councils at the Roman Empire Church to build the Trinity dogma. The first one in Nicaea in AD 325, one in Alexandria around 360 and one in Constantinople in 381.
In the summer of 325, the bishops of all provinces were summoned to Nicaea, a place reasonably accessible to many delegates, particularly those of Asia Minor, Georgia, Armenia, Syria, Egypt, Greece, and Thrace.
This was the first general council in the history of the Church summoned by emperor Constantine I. In the Council of Nicaea, "The Church had taken *her first great step to define revealed doctrine more precisely in response to a challenge from a heretical theology."
________________
*Please Notice how JESUS had nothing to do with this.
*Please Notice how they reference the Roman Church as a "Her".
Then read what God YHWH warns us ahead of time, which no man can do on their own:
REVELATION 18:4-6
Then I heard another voice out of heaven say: “My people, come out of her!
so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not be infected by her plagues,
for her sins are a sticky mass piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes. “Render to her as she rendered to others! Pay her back double for what she has done! Use the cup in which she has brewed to brew her a double-sized drink!
Here God Almighty Yahweh is talking about the false Church which he calls a "Her". When God says GET OUT, he means GET OUT! Get out of Babylon and all of Her ways. She will fall!
__________________
Arius, a priest from Alexandria, Egypt, taught that Christ Jesus, because He was the Son of God, must have had a beginning and therefore was a special creation of God. Further, if Jesus was the Son, the Father of necessity must be older.
Opposing the teachings of Arius was Athanasius, a deacon also from Alexandria. His view was an early form of "Trinitarianism" wherein the Father, Son and Holy Spirit "were one" but at the same time distinct from each other. (False Teaching)
With the emperor’s approval, the Council rejected the minority view of Arius and, having nothing definitive with which to replace it, approved the view of Athanasius; also a minority view. The church was left in the odd position of officially supporting, from that point forward, the decision made at Nicaea to endorse a belief held by only a minority of those attending.
The groundwork for the Trinity was now laid out. This unbiblical teaching happened more than three centuries after Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection. During the middle decades of this century, from 340 to 380, the history of doctrine looks more like the history of court and church to social unrest. People were then confused about who the Holy Spirit was, part of God or something more?
*(TheHarperCollins Encyclopedia of Catholicism)
The Council adopted a statement that translates into English as, in part:
“We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible; and in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages . . . And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father, who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets . . .” The statement also affirmed belief “in one holy, catholic [meaning in this context universal, whole or complete] and apostolic Church . . .”
This declaration in the year 381, become known as the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed, the Trinity as generally understood today. It ‘became the official belief and teaching concerning the nature of God’, not by what the Bible actually says but by the choice of mankind’s own man made religion.
“We now order that all churches are to be handed over to the bishops who profess Father, Son and Holy Spirit of a single majesty, of the same glory, of one splendor, who establish no difference by sacrilegious separation, but (who affirm) the order of the Trinity by recognizing the Persons and uniting the Godhead.” “Let us believe the one deity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, in equal majesty and in a holy Trinity. We authorize the followers of this Law to assume the title of Catholic Christians.
(*Richard Rubenstein; When Jesus Became God, 1999)
Thus we see that a teaching that was foreign to Jesus Christ, never taught by the apostles and unknown to the other biblical writers, was locked into place and the true biblical revelation about the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit was locked out. Any who disagreed were, in accordance with the edicts of the emperor and church authorities, branded heretics and dealt with accordingly.
The Trinity: holds that God is 3 consubstantial persons. The Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit, as "one God in three Divine Persons".
We should instead look to the "Word of God" and not to ideas of men to see how our Creator reveals Himself! The Trinity isn't even mentioned in God's word, the Holy Bible. Not only is it not mentioned, but the doctrine is neither found in the New Testament (NT), nor the Old Testament (OT).
The holy biblical scriptures teach us clearly instead that: God Almighty is the Creator of all things and the Supreme Being, the Most High, The Father; separate being then His Son and first creation from the beginning Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is Gods Active Force, direct action from Him alone; Not a person. Everything works through Gods Holy Spirit, His ‘own spirit’ not a ghost. Gods energy spirit works through all things by his own DIRECT doing and not by the doing of anyone else. God Almighty directed His Own Holy Spirit to work through His Son, so that Jesus could perform miracles on earth. Jesus could not accomplish this alone, as he taught, or without God backing him up and working through him. Jesus fulfills what his Father asks, he was given all authority from his Father. Jesus didn’t give himself authority, God His Father gave it to Him.
Matthew 28:18 "And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth." / Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
JESUS CHRIST NEVER CLAIMED TO BE HIS FATHER GOD ALMIGHTY:
Jesus real name in Hebrew Yeshua or Yhohshua means "Salvation of Yahweh." Christ is from the Greek Khristos and its meaning is the same as the Hebrew Mashiahh (Messiah) and means "Anointed One."
Other names are used throughout the Bible to describe Jesus Christ including the Greek Logos which is translated: Word
Speaking of the Word, Paul states that He was in existence even before the world was created: "He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation; for in him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible .... all things were created through him and for him." (Colossians 1:15-16)
Jesus was God's only direct creation, "...his 0nly begotten Son...." (John 3:16) Thereafter, Yahweh sent Jesus as the instrument through which everything else was created. This did not mean that Jesus was a co-creator with Yahweh, but only a servant of God who carried out the Almighty's will. Jesus always credited Yahweh with creation (Matthew 19:4-6).
Yahweh spoke to Jesus, in His pre-human existence, concerning the creation of Adam and Eve: "Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness ....'"(Genesis 1:26)
During His ministry on Earth, Jesus (Yeshua) stated that He taught not His own wisdom, but that of His Father, Yahweh: "For I have not spoken on my own authority; the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment what to say and what to speak." (John 12:49)
Gods word teaches that Jesus Christ (Yeshua Messiah) is: “The Son of God”
Yahweh said He would send His Son and Jesus (Yeshua) made the statement that Yahweh was His Father. The Apostles taught these facts as well. The Bible does not teach that Jesus was Yahweh YHWH God Almighty and neither Jesus nor His followers claimed otherwise.
The Holy Sprit: The English word "spirit" is usually translated from the Hebrew (ruach) and Greek (pneuma) words meaning "wind" or "breath," and by several extended meanings such as: dominate feeling, spirit persons, and vital or active force.
An example of the Hebrew word translated as "wind" is found in Zechariah: "...Flee from the land of the north, says the LORD; for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens ...." (Zechariah 2:6)
Job 41:16 - One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
Romans 8:16 - The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.
When the Bible speaks of God's Holy Spirit, it speaks of God's invisible active force. There is no Bible description which indicates that it is a person. While it can be said that the Holy Spirit reflects personality; that of Yahweh and all who display His attributes; it is obvious, from scriptural research, that the Holy Spirit is not a person.
Jesus speaks to us at John 14:11-14 (CJB):
“Trust me, that I am united with the Father, and the Father united with me. But if you can’t, then trust because of the works themselves. 12 Yes, indeed! I tell you that whoever trusts in me will also do the works I do! Indeed, he will do greater ones, because I am going to the Father. 13 In fact, whatever you ask for in my name, I will do; so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask me for something in my name, I will do it.”
Matthew 3:17 - “and behold, a voice out of the heavens, saying, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased.”
JESUS IS NOT GOD ALMIGHTY THE FATHER
What about John 1:1?
JOHN 1:1-3 - “In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. The same was in the beginning “with” God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.”
Jesus (Yeshua) is the living “word” of the living ONE True God Almighty.
JESUS ONLY SPEAKS TEACHING THROUGH GODS WORD.
Jesus “Only does the WILL of his Father who SENT him”. Jesus only speaks the word of GOD.
Gods word is manifested into the world, taught through HIS SON. This is not about how God Almighty Himself came into the world as Human Flesh. The WORD of God Almighty came into the world through His Son. Jesus who does the will of his Father who sent him. God Almighty SENT His Son. God the Father did NOT send Himself. But Gods Word comes to us through His Son, Jesus. Gods Son is NOT Himself. His Son is the living word of His Father who is GOD ALMIGHTY THE ONE TRUE GOD, WHO CHANGES NOT.
JOHN 6:38: “For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.”
JOHN 6:62: “What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?”
JOHN 13:3: “Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God”
JOHN 16:28: “I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.”
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.”
JOHN 13:3: “Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God”
1 TIMOTHY 2:5: “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus”
REVELATION 19:13: “And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.”
Jesus does the will of his Father God Almighty YHWH the ONE and ONLY True God. To understand the Bible correctly all scriptures work together. God Almighty the Father does “not Change”. Jesus is “the same”, as he does the will of his father only; but God Almighty does not Change. He does not change into a human, nor flesh, nor does He die, nor does He pray to himself, nor is He “the son of man”, nor is He ever human flesh. He doesn’t lower himself to repent for mankind. He told us this directly. He sent His son to do His will through his WORD. His son Jesus is our Messiah and King. Gods WORD came to us though His son whom He sent forth. Jesus is also the LAMB which was sent (John 1:36). Jesus is the second Adam, the final Adam (1Corinthians 15:22,45,47) the second man is the Lord from heaven [Lord lowercase is Jesus; not LORD all caps who is GOD ALMIGHTY]. Jesus fulfilled what Adam failed. Jesus was sent. Jesus also pre-existed. As Jesus told us he even watched Satan fall to the earth like lightening; Jesus “watched” it happen. Who has the power to toss Satan down to the earth out of heaven, His Father who lives in HEAVEN ONLY does! (Luke 10:17-18)
JOHN 3:13: “And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man (Jesus) which is in heaven.”
NUMBERS 23:19: “God (Yahweh) is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent”
There are those who declare that God the Father and Jesus Christ, are the same person. They contend that Jesus is merely a manifestation or development or role of the Father. The Bible, however, says that the Father and the son Jesus are distinct from each other. They are not the same person. There are several ways in which the Bible illustrates this Truth.
JOHN 4:34: "My food," said Jesus, "is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish His work"
JOHN 5:30: “By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but Him who sent me.”
Jesus made it clear the Father had set Him apart and sent Him into the world.
JOHN 10:36: “What about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, `I am God's Son'?
Jesus said that his words came from the Father.
JOHN 12:49: “For I did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it”
The Apostle Paul also testified that the Father sent the Son into the world:
GALATIANS 4:4: “But when the fulness of the time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law”
The Father Testified to the Son.
JOHN 5:31,32,37: “If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. There is another who bears witness of me, and I know that the witness which he witnesses of me is true . . . And the Father himself, who sent me, has testified of me”
In this passage, Jesus is speaking to the religious leaders. He says that He is not the only one who is testifying concerning Himself. Jesus mentions the testimony of John the Baptist and the testimony of God the Father. Jesus contrasts His testimony from that of the Father showing that they are two distinct persons. The Father provides additional testimony to the character of Jesus.
Jesus prayed to HIS Father.
The two divine persons-God the Father and God the Son-exist eternally and distinctly in an interpersonal relationship. For example, in the Garden of Gethsemane Jesus did not pray to Himself, but to the Father. In Jesus' prayer to God the Father, the clear distinction is made between the two of them. He prayed.
JOHN 17:20-23: “I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in me through their word; that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you sent me. "The glory which you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as we are one; I in them and you in me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that you sent me, and loved them, even as you have loved me”
There Was Mutual Knowledge And Love Between The Father And The Son.
Scripture speaks of the mutual knowledge and love that God the Father and God the Son have for one another. Jesus said.
MATHHEW 11:27: “All things have been handed over to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal him”
Jesus also said:
JOHN 3:35: “The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand”
Jesus does His Fathers YHWH will:
JOHN 14:8-11: “Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us." Jesus said to him, "Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father; how can you say, 'Show us the Father?' "Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own initiative, but the Father abiding in me does his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves.”
Jesus did not say He was the Father but rather He was the one who perfectly represented the Father. However Jesus testified that God the Father was with Him in a mystical way.
No One Can Get To God The Father Except Through Jesus The Son. Jesus told people to believe in him.
JOHN 14:1: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me”
The Bible also makes it clear that one cannot know God the Father apart from Jesus.
JOHN 14:6: “Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also; from now on you know him, and have seen him"
PAUL WROTE:
1 TIMOTHY 2:5: “For there is ONE God; there is also ONE mediator between God and humankind, Christ Jesus, himself human.”
It is the teaching of Scripture that God the Father is a distinct person from Jesus Christ, God the Son. This is demonstrated in a number of ways. The Father sent Jesus the Son to earth. The Father also gave a testimony to the Son. We find that Jesus, the Son, prayed to the Father. There is also mutual love and knowledge between God the Father and Jesus the Son. Jesus, the Son, always did the Father's will not His own will. One cannot know God the Father without knowledge of Jesus the Son. These truths make it clear that the Father and Son are two distinct Persons.
The Bible is quite clear in its presentation that Jesus is the Son of God Almighty, but certainly not God Almighty Himself. The bulk of mainstream Christianity has staked its life on the assertion that Jesus is God Almighty. However, this is to be rejected for the following inescapable reasons, and many more:
God is one. There can only be one true Almighty God. It is undeniable that Jesus referred to himself and the Father as separate. To fly in the face of this the most fundamental of Biblical teachings, in any way, is to venture out onto very thin ice.
Mortality and immortality are mutually exclusive characteristics. God is immortal, and cannot die. Jesus died. If you alter this, all Scripture is inexorably weakened.
Jesus always very clearly pointed out his subservience to his father God Almighty; in power, teaching and life itself. To assert their equality is untenable.
Humans cannot exist in the direct presence of God Almighty. As Exodus 33:20 says, no man can see God YHWH and live. Therefore, to say Jesus was fully God and fully man violates scripture, since thousands of people saw Jesus.
We believe the Trinity ideology is actually an insult to both God Almighty and to His son Jesus. Jesus never taught Trinity and that is why its also not in the Bible. To say that God Almighty could be reduced to a form that could walk among us, is to completely ignore the sheer magnitude of God's power. This idea makes God Almighty Father small, capable of being touched by sinful human hands. To say that Jesus had a part of him that was immortal and could not sin is to disparage the magnitude of his accomplishment, overcoming the power of sin. God is bigger and Jesus' accomplishment was greater than the false Trinity doctrine allows.
Jesus is currently in heaven, sitting at the right hand of God (Luke 22:69; Acts 7:55-56) - a separate position than God Almighty Himself. He is serving as our mediator (1 Tim. 2:5) and high priest (Heb. 5:10) - two roles which make no sense at all if Jesus is God Almighty The Father. In the very near future, Jesus (Yeshua) will return to earth to set up his worldwide earthly kingdom over which he will reign for 1000 years as King, during his millennial reign.
WHAT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT:
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GODS ENERGY, POWER, IN DIRECT ACTION
Genesis 1:2 / Micah 3:8 / Luke 1:35 / Psalm 139:7 / Matthew 3:17
Gods Holy Spirit energy is within all things good and Gods Holy Spirit energy can have great presence in our everyday lives when we accept, believe, and have faith in him. When we do good things we also feel Gods glorious Holy Spirit upon us. When we step away from God, we miss Gods Holy Spirit presence in our lives. When we follow God in truth and light we receive Gods blessings through his Holy Sprit and we feel good, happy, and complete. God made all of creation using energy, its within all things and makes up all things.
Gods Holy Spirit works through every single good thing. God Almighty has extreme universal power, he is above all things. Therefore his power comes through and does everything using his Holy Spirit, energy force spirit in action. This is not a spirit or energy without substance. It is like Gods spirit hands touching and directing everything but used via energy sources and force because God is within all things. Gods Holy Spirit is not a person like us, it is Gods life force of all things powerful. God has no beginning nor no end, God can not die either, God is eternal. God speaks powerfully in scripture through light in many examples. Everything God Almighty creates is by his life energy.
This is where science is helpful too because God Almighty is the greatest scientist of all. Science can not exist without God. It is not possible when you start researching how everything flows in absolute perfection. Scientists can not do anything without using all the forms God has already created and has in existence. This is also with air and energy, the things we cant see. Science can't even create a grain of sand from nothing.
Hebrew Word Study for Gods Holy Spirit:
Ruach ha'Kodesh רוח הקודש is the beautiful Hebrew title of the Spirit of God Almighty (YHVH / Yahovah, Yahweh)
Matthew 28:19 = “Go you therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them into the Name of the Father, by the authority of the Son, and through; under the direction of, the Holy Spirit” .
Isaiah 9:6 Explained
Old Testament Greek & Alexandrian Texts:
“Father of the age to come.”
Version Commonly used in Latin (Vulgate):
“The Father of the future age.”
Robert Lowth Translation:
“The Father of the everlasting age.”
Douay-Rheims Version:
“The Father of the world to come.”
Isaiah 9:6 Translations:
- Isaiah 9:6-7 (CJB) (Jewish)
“In order to extend the dominion and perpetuate the peace of the throne and kingdom of David, to secure it and sustain it through justice and righteousness henceforth and forever.
The zeal of Adonai-Tzva’ot will accomplish this. 7. Adonai sent a word to Ya‘akov, and it has fallen on Isra’el.”
- Isaiah 9:6-7 (KJV) (King James)
“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, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.”
- Isaiah 9:6-7 (CPDV) (Catholic)
“For unto us a child is born, and unto us a son is given. And leadership is placed upon his shoulder. And his name shall be called: wonderful Counselor, mighty God, father of the future age, Prince of Peace. 7. His reign will be increased, and there will be no end to his peace. He will sit upon the throne of David and over his kingdom, to confirm and strengthen it, in judgment and justice, from now even unto eternity. The zeal of the Lord of hosts shall accomplish this.”
[Lord lower caps is the Son Yeshua (Jesus). LORD is the God Almighty Father YHWH.]
The very zeal of Yahweh (YHWH; Jehovah) of armies will do this. At Isaiah 9:7 the expression “upon the throne of David” confirms the covenant that God made with David for an endless kingdom.
Upon surviving the great tribulation, such “saved” flesh will enter the new system of things under the reign of the one who will become their Eternal Father.
Matthew 24:31 / Mark 13:20, 22, 27 / Revelation 17:14 / Isaiah 9:6,7
In Isaiah 9:6 - in the eighth century before Christ, Yahweh (YHWH; Jehovah) declared his purpose to make his only-begotten Son Yeshua (Jesus) “Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”
The Messiah immortal not “eternal”
(Begotten: only offspring of his father; first born, was created; not eternal, had a beginning.)
Targum Isaiah 9:6
“His name has been called from of old, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, He who lives forever, the Anointed One, in whose days peace shall increase upon us.”
A Throne, a Kingdom / Dynasty, that lasts forever requires a King to live forever: Acts 2:30-31.
In connection with Messiah as “the father of the age to come” Isaiah 9:6; the idea connotes both tender care and immortality in “the age to come” - the near future millennial reign of Yeshua Messiah as King.
Yeshua Messiah will be the Father of the future age to come. Yeshua (Jesus) is the spiritual father, as the spiritual shepherd of all of us.
Adam failed, Yeshua fulfilled what Adam failed to do and is the Final Adam. / God Almighty Eternal Father “sent” His Only Begotten Son who is Yeshua Messiah the first born, who fulfilled on earth what Adam failed at. God Almighty YHWH did not send himself, he does not pay for human sin, he created humans but does not pay for their sins; Yeshua Messiah who is the Lamb of God, was sent.
