taken from the topic, "Church"
let's hit a few of these scriptures given to support a 3 person Godhead.
#1. 1 Thessalonians 3:11 "Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you".
what's wrong right off the bat. the term God according to some suppose to contain the three person already, (Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit). so why say God "AND" Father. is not the Father included in the term "GOD". we can see this error clearly.
#2. 1 John 5:7 “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these THREE are ONE".
We can quickly eliminate this one. "THESE" three are one. THESE are titles, Father, son, and Word. if the scripture would have said, "THEY" are one then yes, because "THEY" would indicate PERSONS. but the scripture states "these" which indicate TITLES of the SAME PERSON, as the titles in Revelation 1:3 and 4 do.
#3. The Father is God
Ephesians 4:6 “One God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all"
see #1. and two if the Father is God, then the Son is God. STOP you have two God already.
#4. The Father is God
Isaiah 63:16 for you are our Father, though Abraham does not know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us; you, O Lord, are our Father, our Redeemer from of old is your name. Is God Lord or LORD.
again he used a bad verse to prove his point, it support what I have been saying all along. here he is using Lord as the Father, and not the LORD. for JESUS is Lord (in flesh) and LORD (without flesh) and to top that off, he using the redeemer as Father, whom he identifies in scriptures as the Son (Lord). is not the Lord Jesus the redeemer? and is not the LORD the redeemer? yes the same person. the LORD is the redeemer to come, or to be sent (IN FLESH). Titus 2:13 & 14 "Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works".
the Lord Jesus is the GREAT GOD and SAVIOUR, he alone is GOD. he's the Lord (in flesh) and the LORD (OT without flesh). supportive scripture, Isaiah 60:16 "Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob".
Understand People. the LORD is JESUS without flesh in the OT. and the Lord is JESUS in the NT (in flesh). the SAME PERSON, only diversified. and diversified means "OFFSPRING". Revelation 22:16 "I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star". the root is before, (LORD) the FIRST, and the "offspring" is after, (Lord) the LAST. the same person, supportive scripture
A. 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".
B. Isaiah 41:4 "Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he".
C. Isaiah 48:12 "Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last".
JESUS is the "BEGINNING" OT (LORD). JESUS is the "END" NT (Lord)
all of this is explain by the one word "diversity" or offspring. it's the Greek word,
G1085 γένος genos (ǰe'-nos) n.
kin.
abstract or concrete, literal or figurative, individual or collective
[from G1096]
KJV: born, country(-man), diversity, generation, kind(-red), nation, offspring, stock
"diversity" is the word that the KJV can translate offspring as. and this is the word I use. there is nothing new here, only now revealed. diversity was taught by the Lord Jesus, he taught his apostles, and they by him (the Lord Jesus taught the church early fathers, the disciples.
I have the correct doctrine, and it's not man made like all others. this doctrine explains the Godhead and it's mysteries. THIS DOCTRINE CANNOT BE EASILY EXPLAINED AWAY. it's here to stay. this doctrine removes the stumbling block many have to the truth. Oh the joy of knowing "diversified oneness".
