1Jn 2:18 “Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there “many antichrists”; whereby we know that it is the last time.”
Antichrists are very religious people who don’t believe God himself came in the flesh!
Most all major religions confess Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, Catholics, Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterians, some Jews, etc, so where are the Antichrists, the Bible teaches there are many!
The key is that the above large groups does not believe that the one that they call Jesus Christ is actually God All Mighty, and it is he that came in the flesh, and not a second person of a so-called Trinity, otherwise none of them can be considered the antichrist!
If there were two or three co-equal limitless beings, how could you tell them apart???
The following is not talking about the son of God being made flesh, because the son of God is God in the flesh, but he is talking about God the Father himself being made flesh as the son of God, and those who do not believe God himself was made flesh, denies both the Father and the son, and is Antichrist!
1Jn 2:22 “Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus (YHWH) is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.1Jn 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father (Because he is BOTH): (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also (Because he is BOTH).”
The clause “he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also”, is printed by our translators in Italics to show it to be of doubtful authority, but see Adam Clark in his commentary on the verse, which clearly shows it is absolutely genuine and should never have been in italics to show it to be of doubtful authority! When we have the son, we have the Father also, because the Father and son are one, John 10:30.
All of the many different religions today, Catholic, Protestant, etc, fall under only two major religious categories or beliefs. They are actually different religions!!!
One belief is based on the biblical teaching of one God Almighty (YHWH) came in the flesh “as the son of God” to save his people, and ALL the other religions do not believe that. Many believe that there’s three distinct beings that makes up the Godhead. They believe the son is the second person of a Trinity, which came in the flesh to save God’s people, they do not believe God the Father himself came and was made flesh, and became BOTH, the Father and son, and the Bible teaches that everyone that does not believe that God the Father, Creator of heaven and earth, came in the flesh is Antichrists as Isaiah 43:11 says,
“I, even I, am the LORD (YHWH); and “beside me there is no saviour”! (God the Father himself came in the flesh to save his people, see Isaiah 35:4-6 for FACTUAL proof.)
The true believers believes that the “word” is God in John 1:1-14, and the word/God was made flesh.
John 1:1 teaches that the word “is God” (YHWH) and verse 14 says the Word (YHWH) was made flesh, and verse 10 clearly teaches us that the world was made by him, as Genesis 1 also teaches, i.e. God himself created the world by himself!
Isaiah 44:24 says, “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;”
The bottom line is that the Antichrist cannot confess that the Father YHWH himself came in the flesh as the son of God, to save his people, and that he was “both” God and man, or Father and son, Acts 2:36.
They do not believe the “word” in John 1:1, was God the Father, but the word has to do with the son of God, even though the Apostle John says that the “word” “is God” and was made flesh and dwelt among us, John 1:1-14, and first John 4:1-3, first Timothy 3:16, Colossians 2:9 John 14:7-11, etc, all support John’s own definition.
The majority of people can’t accept that God the Father himself would come to save us, as Isaiah 35:4-6 clearly declares, and this is the spirit of Antichrist, first John 4:1-3.
Edit here Second John 1:7 And this doctrine, so essential to salvation, and none could deny but a deceiver and an antichrist”
1Jn 2:22 “Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus (YHWH) is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. (Important to know that the Father and son has the same name and YHWH belongs where we see Jesus)
1Jn 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father:”
(That’s because the Father is in the son, or became the son for salvation, and when we deny the son, we are denying
the Father also.
Adam Clark says in
first John 2:22 “The Jews in general, and the Gnostics
in particular, denied the miraculous conception of Jesus; with
both he was accounted no more than a common man, the son of
Joseph and Mary. But the Gnostics held that a Divine person,
Aeon, or angelical being, dwelt in him; but all things else relative
to his miraculous generation and “Divinity they rejected”.
These were “antichrists”, who denied Jesus
to be the Christ.”
The opposite of antichrist is pro-Christ or pro YHWH coming in the flesh.
The church has been severely infected with the deadly Antichrist doctrine!!!
Sorta
like lung cancer, some people don’t even know they are infected with it, until right before it kills them.
No one confesses they are antichrist, because they don’t even know what being antichrist is, and that because
preachers don’t elaborate on the verses.
Preachers
preach against sin but never tell you
what sin is or the Bible definition of sin, which is
transgression of the law, and preachers might preach against antichrist
but never define them as people who cannot confess that Father
God is come in the flesh to save his children.
John’s disciples had a lot to say about it, especially Ignatius, a man who it was said that Peter
chose to take his place in the ministry.
John
1:1 through 14 and 18, which teaches that the Father
God Almighty himself came in the flesh. Isaiah 35:4-6, which
the Father God himself said he is coming, compared with Matthew
11:2-6, which shows the fulfillment of the Father in the flesh
of the Messiah.
1st Jn 4:1 says
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone
out into the world.1Jn 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus (YHWH)
Christ is come in the flesh is of God:1Jn 4:3 And
every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus (YHWH) Christ
is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of
antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and
even now already is it in the world.1Jn 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because
greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.1Jn 4:5 They are of the world: therefore speak
they of the world, and the world heareth them.1Jn 4:6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that
is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.”
How
much plainer could John have made it? First John makes it clear as to what he meant in Saint John 1:1-14.
2Jn
1:7-8 says, “For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus (YHWH) Christ is come in the
flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.”2Jn 1:8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things
which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.2Jn 1:9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not
in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath “both” the Father
and the Son (in one body).2Jn 1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not
into your house, neither bid him God speed:2Jn 1:11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his
evil deeds.”
That is or should be scary!
1Jn 2:22 Who is
a liar but he that denieth that Jesus (YHWH) is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
Warning Concerning Antichrists
1Jn
2:18 Little children, it is the last time:
and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are
there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last
time.1Jn 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt
have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.1Jn 2:20
But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.1Jn 2:21 I have not written unto you
because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.1Jn 2:22 Who is a
liar but he that denieth that Jesus (YHWH) is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.1Jn
2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father
(YHWH): (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father
(YHWH) also.1Jn 2:24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which
ye have heard from the beginning (YHWH) shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.1Jn
2:25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.1Jn 2:26 These things have
I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.1Jn
2:27 But the anointing (Christ) which ye have received
of him (YHWH) abideth in you, and ye need not that any man
teach you: but as the same anointing (Christ) teacheth you of all
things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught
you, ye shall abide in him(YHWH).
Children of God
1Jn 2:28 And now, little children, abide in him (YHWH); that,
when he shall “appear”, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.”
Titus 2:13 “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious “appearing” of the “great
God and our Saviour Jesus Christ”;Tit 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all
iniquity, and purify unto “himself” a peculiar people, zealous of good works.”
1Jn
2:29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him (YHWH).
BOTH God and man1Jn 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist
shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.1Jn
2:19 They went
out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of
us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went
out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of
us
1Jn 2:22 Who is a liar
but he that denieth that Jesus (YHWH) is the Christ (anointed)?
He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son (YHWH).1Jn
2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father:
(but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
1Jn 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus (YHWH) Christ is come
in the flesh is of God:1Jn 4:3 And every spirit
that confesseth not that Jesus (YHWH) Christ is come in the
flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist,
whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already
is it in the world.
2Jn 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world,
who confess not that Jesus (YHWH) Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.2Jn 1:8 Look
to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.2Jn
1:9 Whosoever
transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath
not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath
both the Father and the Son.2Jn 1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him
not into your house, neither bid him God speed:2Jn 1:11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of
his evil deeds.Literally every so called Christian
says they confess that Jesus (YHWH) Christ is come in the flesh,
Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, Seventh day Adventist,
Presbyterians, all Trinitarians, etc, and the Bible says there are MANY
antichrist who cannot confess that Jesus (YHWH) Christ is come
in the flesh, so ask yourself where are the many deceiving
Antichrist Christians that cannot confess this?
They
are all Antichrist that is not confessing
the right thing. Because of the tradition not to say the sacred
name YHWH, they are not confessing that YHWH the Father came
in the flesh, contrary to YHWH’S on words in Isaiah 35:4-6
which says he is coming!
Isa 35:4
“Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, *your God (YHWH) will come* with vengeance,
even God with a recompence; *he will come and save you.*Isa 35:5 *Then* “the eyes of the blind shall
be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.”Isa 35:6 *Then* “shall the lame man leap
as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.”
This word of YHWH was fulfilled in the New Testament in
Mat 11:2 “Now
when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,Mat 11:3 And said unto
him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?Mat 11:4 Jesus (YHWH) answered and said unto
them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:Mat
11:5 The blind receive their sight,
and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear,
the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached
to them.Mat 11:6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.”
So
the Bible teaches that God really did visit his people in the flesh, which many back then and now can not confess.Even
John the Baptist’s father, Zechariah, confesses the truth, he says, Luk 1:67 “And his father
Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,Luk 1:68 Blessed be the Lord (YHWH) God
of Israel; for he hath *visited* and redeemed his people,Luk 1:69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation
for us in the house of his servant David;Luk 1:70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have
been since the world began:….1:76 And thou, child (John), shalt be called the prophet of the *Highest* (YHWH):
for thou shalt go before the face of *the Lord* (YHWH) to prepare his ways;
Heb 4:8 says , “For
if Jesus (YHWH) had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.” When we
read before and after Hebrews 4:8, we see this is taking about YHWH’S rest, and it was YHWH that spoke of another day,
NOT Joshua, therefore YHWH’S name belongs there, but the tradition not to say the sacred name prevailed.
He is BOTH God and man!Ignatius A
man named Ignatius, who lived at the time of the
New Testament, gives us very important Historical information
as to what the Apostle John, and the early church believed. Some
say that the Apostle Peter himself left instructions for
Ignatius to take his place, also Ignatius and his friend Polycarp,
were both students of the Apostle John. .
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignatius_of_Antioch It
is important to note that these men lived during the time of
the New Testament, about 300 years “before” the time
of Constantine and the First Council of Nicaea, which took
place in Ad 325, which shows that they were not a part of today’s
Catholic Trinitarian teaching.In other words, the
teachings of the Apostle John and his disciples, Ignatius and
Polycarp, etc, were before and different from the Catholic
teaching of today, concerning the Godhead/Deity, and they were
not a part of the Catholic Church of today. The word Catholic was used, which means Universal Church, but
is referring to the real Universal Church, not the false Catholic Churches which came later.Here are some quotes
from Ignatius, showing he believes YHWH (Jesus) is YHWH God in flesh!Remember when reading what he wrote, that
he was taught by the apostle John, and was endorsed by Peter to take his place among the apostles.Ignatius, in
writing to his friend Polycarp, who was also taught by Apostle John, to encourage him.Ignatius to Polycarp Chapter
III.—Exhortations.”Let “not” those who “seem worthy of credit”, “but”
teach strange doctrines”, fill thee with apprehension. Stand firm, as does an anvil which is beaten. It is the part of
a noble athlete to be wounded, and yet to conquer. And especially, we ought to bear all things for the sake of “God”,
that “He” also may bear with us. Be ever becoming more zealous than what thou art. Weigh carefully the times. “Look
for “Him” who is “above all time”, “eternal” and “invisible”, “yet who “became
visible” for our sakes; “impalpable” and “impassible”, “yet who became “passible”
on our account; and who in every kind of way “suffered for our sakes”.
Notice Ignatius
is describing the one and only All Mighty God. The word “impassible” means, unable to suffer, or feel pain, and
“passible” is the opposite, i.e. God was made flesh to experience both, pain and suffering, and he done it for
us. The word “impalpable” means not easily understood, and unable to touch, ghost.Ignatius wrote a
similar letter to the Ephesians, also issuing the same warning of the false teachers, who teach against God as being
BOTH God and flesh!Quote:Chapter
VII.—“Beware of false teachers”. For some are in
the habit of carrying about the name [of Jesus Christ] in
wicked guile, while yet they practice things unworthy of God, whom
ye must flee as ye would wild beasts. For they are ravening
dogs, who bite secretly, against whom ye must be on your guard,
inasmuch as they are “men who can scarcely be cured”. There is
“one “Physician” who is possessed
“both of flesh and spirit”; “both “made” and “not made”; “God
existing in
flesh”; true “life in death”; “both” of Mary and of God”; first
“passible”
and then “impassible”, “even Jesus Christ our Lord.”(Side
note: in other places Ignatius
teaches there is only one God, and above, he teaches God was
made flesh, just like his teacher apostle John in John 1, 1-14,
and Apostle Paul in first Timothy 3:16 etc. He also says he
went from impassible to passible, and then back from passible
to impassible, after the resurrection, and to life in death.)(Notice Ignatius is warning against teachings that
does not confess that God/Jesus Christ come in the flesh. In the letter to Polycarp, he refers to “those teaching”
“strange doctrines”, and to the Ephesians, he calls them “false teachers”, but in both cases he speaks
of “God existing in flesh”, and the false teachers did not believe that! Compare 1 John 4:1-3, where the Apostle
John gives the exact same warning! 1st John 4:1-3 [1]
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the
spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets
are gone out into the world. [2] Hereby know ye the Spirit of
God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is “come in
the flesh” is of God: [3] And every spirit that
confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of
God: and this is “that spirit of “antichrist”,
whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already
is it in the world.”)(Side note: the tradition
not to say the sacred name YHWH carried over into the New
Testament and was replaced with titles such as lord, God, Jesus,
and Christ.Here is a couple of examples where the Bible is taking about YHWH, but calls him *Christ*!
1Co 10:9 “Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.”It
was YHWH that they tempted in the wilderness and were destroyed of serpent, NOT Christ! See Psa 106:14 “But
lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God (YHWH) in the desert.” And Psa 95:9 “When your fathers
tempted me(YHWH), proved me, and saw my work.”
1Co 10:4-5 also teaches us
that they put Christ where YHWH belongs, it says, “And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that
spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ (YHWH).” 5 But with many of them God (YHWH) was not
well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
The scripture teaches that YHWH God is
the rock. 1Sa 2:2 “There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there
any “rock” like our God.”Also Deu 32:3 “Because I will publish the name of the LORD:
ascribe ye greatness unto our God. 4 “He (YHWH) is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a “God
of truth” and without iniquity, just and right is he.”
There
are many verses to support
that YHWH is the Rock, and yet they call him Christ, because of
the tradition not to say the sacred name YHWH. I can also
show that YHWH belongs where we see the name Jesus, lord, etc,
all because of the tradition not to say the sacred name, see
my notes on the name. At any rate, when we read 1st
John 4:1-3 where it teaches that to be of God, we must
confess that Jesus (YHWH) Christ is come in the flesh, it
should read YHWH God is come in the flesh, NOT Jesus Christ, and
then it will harmonize with John 1:1-14 which teaches the word
was God and the word that was God was made flesh.
Ignatius again, says, Ante-Nicene Fathers Vol. 1 Ch. 18:2Chapter
XVIII.—“The glory of
the cross. Let my spirit be counted as nothing for the sake of
the cross, which is a stumbling-block to those that do not
believe, but to us salvation and life eternal. “Where is the
wise man? where the disputer?” Where is the
boasting of those who are styled prudent? “For our “God”, Jesus
Christ, was, according to the appointment
of God, “conceived in the womb by Mary”, “of the seed of
David”, “but by the Holy Ghost”.
“He was born” and baptized, that by His passion He might purify
the water.”
(Notice
Ignatius again, calls him God, as also did the Apostles that
taught him, see also 2 Peter 1:1, where Peter calls the son,
our God and savior.“Simeon Peter, a slave and an apostle of Jesus Christ: To those who have obtained a “faith
of equal privilege with ours” through the righteousness “of “our God” “and Savior” “Jesus
Christ.” HCSB
Titus 2:13 also said the same as Peter.
“while
we wait for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of “our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.” HCSB
Titus 2:13 in the KJVS says the same.Not only did Ignatius, Peter, and Titus, refer to him as God,
but so did all of the Apostles and others, in both the Old and New Testament.Ignatius Chapter I.—Praise of
the Ephesians, wrote,“ I have become acquainted with your name, much-beloved in God, which ye have acquired
by the habit of righteousness, according to the faith and love in “Jesus Christ our Saviour”. Being the followers
of “God”, and stirring up yourselves by “the “blood” of God”,
Apostle
Luke in Act 20:27 also speaks of the blood of God.
“For I have not shunned to declare unto
you all the counsel of God.Act 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.”
The Epistle of Ignatius to the Romans Shorter and Longer Versions“enlightened
by the will of Him that willeth all things which are according to the love of “Jesus Christ our God,”…..
abundance of happiness unblameably, in “Jesus Christ “our God.”Chapter X.—Acknowledgment
of their kindness. Ye have done well in receiving Philo and Rheus Agathopus as servants of “Christ our God”,Notice
he calls Christ our God, and so does the New Testament in 1 Corinthians 10:1,4-5,9.Ignatius Chapter VIII.—Let
other churches also send to Antioch.“I pray for your happiness for ever in our “God, Jesus Christ,”Ignatius
to Polycarp (both were students of the Apostle John) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignatius_of_Antioch Chapter
III.—Exhortations.”Let not those who “seem worthy of
credit”, “but” teach strange
doctrines”, fill thee with apprehension. Stand firm, as does an
anvil which is beaten. It is the part of a noble athlete
to be wounded, and yet to conquer. And especially, we ought to
bear all things for the sake of “God”, that “He”
also may bear with us. Be ever becoming more zealous than what
thou art. Weigh carefully the times. “Look for “Him”
who is “above all time”, “eternal” and “invisible”, “yet who
“became visible”
for our sakes; “impalpable” and “impassible”, “yet who became
“passible” on our account;
and who in every kind of way “suffered for our sakes”. Philippians 4:3 “Yea, I beseech thee
also, true yokefellow, help these women, for they labored with me in the gospel, with “Clement” also, and the rest
of my fellow-workers, whose names are in the book of life.”Ignatius on Heresies Chapter XVII
Deviation of heretic from the truth 1. The “rule of
truth” which “we hold”,
is, that there is “one God Almighty”, “who made all things by
His Word”, and fashioned and formed,
out of that which had no existence, all things which exist.
Thus saith the Scripture, to that effect “By the Word of
the Lord were the heavens established”, and all the might of
them, by the spirit of His mouth.” And again, “All
things were made by “Him”, and without Him was nothing made.”
There is “no exception” or deduction
stated; but the Father made all things by Him, whether visible
or invisible, objects of sense or of intelligence, temporal,
on account of a certain character given them, or eternal; and
these eternal things He did not make by angels, “or by
any powers separated from His Ennoea”. For God needs none of
all these things, but is He who, by His Word and Spirit,
makes, and disposes, and governs all things, and commands all
things into existence,-He who formed the world (for the world
is of all),-He who fashioned man,-He [who] is the God of
Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, above whom there
is no other God, nor initial principle, nor power, nor
pleroma,-He is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, as we shall prove.
Holding, therefore, “this rule”, we shall easily show,
notwithstanding the great variety and multitude of their
opinions, that these men have deviated from the truth; for
almost all the different sects of heretics admit that there is
one God; but then, by their pernicious doctrines, they change
[this truth into error]
, even as the Gentiles do through idolatry,-thus
proving themselves ungrateful to Him that created them.
Moreover, they despise the workmanship of God, speaking against their
own salvation, becoming their own bitterest accusers, and being
false witnesses [against themselves]. Yet, reluctant as they
may be, these men shall one day rise again in the flesh, to
confess the power of “Him who “raises” them
from the dead”; but they shall not be numbered among the
righteous “on account of their unbelief.”
(The
Messiah/Christ says that he is the one that will raise them from the
dead at the resurrection, speaking
as God, because he is both God and man! Therefore Ignatius
understood Christ to be also the one All Mighty God in flesh!Notice
Ignatius says “The rule of truth” which “we hold”, is, that there is “one God Almighty”,
“who made all things by His Word”,Ignatius many
times calls Jesus God. It is evident he is in harmony
with scriptures and his teacher, the Apostle John, i.e. God in
flesh, and I see no other way to interpret him. Because in
other places he writes to the churches and his friend Polycarp
etc, saying things like, “Look for “Him”
who is “above all time”, “eternal” and “invisible”, “yet who “became visible”
for our sakes; “impalpable” and “impassible”, “yet who became “passible” on our account;
and who in every kind of way “suffered for our sakes”. (Remember, Ignatius’s rule of Truth is that there is
only one Almighty God, and therefore it was God that was made flesh, NOT a preexisting Son!)
I
want to talk to you about the Trinitarians doctrine.At the time of the birth of the Messiah, the evidence shows
that there are “two, the Father and son, but at creation, up until the Son, John 1:1-14 shows there was only one being,
“not two”, because there was no son until the Father became the son of God for the salvation of his children!I
believe that the scriptures undeniably speaks of TWO, the
Father and the Son, but they, the flesh and God in it, are one.John
1:1-14 tells the story of where the TWO actually came together,
i.e. the Father and the Son dwelling in ONE body/temple of
God, and one of them is God All Mighty, and one is the Son of
God. I am not trying to disprove they are TWO,
l am trying to show that one “dwelt within” the other, i.e. One
Father and one Son in one undefiled body/temple
made without hands. I am also open to the Father becoming the
son, or God being made flesh, and becoming both Deity and flesh,
sometimes referred to as God and sometimes as man!Isaiah 35:4-6 clearly teaches that God himself will come and
save us, and when he does, great miracles will occur, which was fulfilled by the Messiah, in Matthew 11:2-5.What
makes a Trinitarian, which believes in 3 separate “Divine” co-equal beings, in one God?is it the word
of God that makes them believe that doctrine, or the tradition of men?The
Word of God is God, ( Gen-1:1 and John
1:1) and not a separate Divine being from the only Divine God!
Read it. It was by the word of God that created all things.Genesis
absolutely kills the Trinitarian theory. So does John 1:1-14,
because Trinitarians don’t believe YHWH Christ is come in the
flesh, they believe a separate preexisting Son come in the
flesh, instead of YHWH All Mighty come in the flesh, as John 1:1-14
clearly teaches, also 1st Timothy 3:16. This is also confirmed
in Mathew 1:23 Matthew which says, “and they shall call
his name “Emmanuel”, which being interpreted is, “God with us”.
Others believe it was a plain made
flesh, but the plain became the son made flesh, same problem as
with Trinitarians, they cannot confess that the Father YHWH
came in the flesh. They cannot accept the verse that says that
the word was God, and are in the same boat as the Trinitarians,
Antichrist, which will not confess that YHWH came in the flesh.Simply read Gen- 1 to prove the undeniable truth
of only one Creator God in creation, who created everything by his word. Also Isaiah 44:24 which says, “Thus
saith the LORD, “thy redeemer” (the one who brought us), and (or also) he that formed thee from the womb, I am the
LORD (YHWH) that maketh “all things” ; that stretcheth forth the heavens “alone”; that spreadeth abroad
the earth “by myself”;”
Had it not been for the tradition not to say the name YHWH,
John 1:1 could have read, “in the beginning, was the word, and the Word was with YHWH, and the word was YHWH, the one
who created all things! Although it does say YHWH, we know from other scripture that God is YHWH, but that
is another subject for another time.Let’s go to John 1:1-3 to see the Trinitarian’s supposed foundation.[1]
“In the beginning was the “Word”, and the “Word” was “with” God”, and the Word “was”
God”. [2] The “same” was in the beginning “with God”. [3] “All things were made by “him”;
and “without him” “was not any thing made that was made.” (In other words, YHWH God done it alone, by
himself, nobody else made anything.)Verse 3 is directly connected to verses 1 and 2. In other words, someone or
something that was with God created all things! What was it, God’s word, or another being etc???If
we ask
ourselves the question, what was it that was with God in
creation and who was it that created all things? Was it God? It was
the word of God that was with God by which God created all
things. The word that was spoken by God, was not another
God, or a preexisting Son, read Gen-1, for proof.Gen-1,
teaches that God created heaven and earth by speaking the
word, and John 1:1 teaches the spoken word is God, and we must
not make a separate Creator or God out of God’s word, as the
Trinitarian and others do. They make a separate preexisting
Agent out of God’s word, saying it is the Son, and that is what
created all things and was made flesh and dwelt among us,
instead of God himself made flesh. They think that
God sent or gave his Son, from heaven instead of the God that
was in Christ sent and gave his Son. The AntiChrist spirit does
not want us to believe that God/YHWH himself came in the flesh
and dwelt among us, as he said he would do, in Isaiah 35:4-6.
The Son is a created creature, born in Bethlehem, and was the temple of God (John 2:19) and the Creator is in
the creature/flesh.
A cloud was sent
to lead the children in the wilderness, but the God that sent
the cloud, was in the cloud that he sent, same as God was in
the Son, that he sent into the world to lead us. Edit to here 1
John 4:2 KJV says, “Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that “Jesus Christ is come in
the flesh” is of God:”The question is, what or who was Jesus Christ “before” he was made flesh???We
see Jesus Christ as the begotten of the Father, in John 1:14,
but before that, we only see YHWH God, and YHWH God’s forerunner,
John the Baptist, so was Jesus/YHWH God, in the flesh of his
Son?It was God the Creator that came in the flesh
of his only begotten Son, not a preexisting Son of God, as the
Trinitarians suppose. They have TWO creators, God the Creator,
and the Son the Creator. I ask them, who was it that rested the
seventh day in creation, the Father or the Son? The scripture
says God rested the seventh day, therefore it was God doing the
work. Edit edit to hereAnyway that is what makes
a Trinitarian. Instead of bringing the one Creator God, YHWH,
on through from John 1:1 through verse 14, to be made flesh,
they create a separate God, which John describes as Anti
Christ, in 1 John 4:1-3, which was written in order to counter those
who do not believe what he already said in John 1:14.1 John 2:22,24 says,[22]
“Who is a liar but
he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ”? He is antichrist,
that denieth the Father and the Son… [24] Let that therefore
abide in you, which ye have “heard from the beginning”. If that
which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain
in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.”
In other words, when we get to John 1:14, we have BOTH
the Father and the Son in a flesh body!This same John speaks of this Jesus Christ as the begotten of the Father
in John 1:14, which was God made flesh,Now in light
of Genesis 1, there can be only one understanding of John 1:1-3,
and that is that God created all things by speaking it into
existence by his word, God is his word, or the word was God, as
the Apostle John puts it, verse 1.John 1:1-3 is definitely speaking about God creating all things, and verse 4
tells us that “in “him” (the God that created all things) is life, and the “life is the light” the
of men” The subject is still God, which has life and light in him. There was no life or light (outside
of God) in creation until God spoke it all into existence. No where yet is it taking about the Son of God.At any
rate God is still the subject so far, and verses 5-9 teaches us that John the Baptist came to bear “witness” of
the light”, which is the “true light” of the world and every man that comes into the world, i.e. God is light.Notice
that only God is spoken of or is in view up unto verse 9. In
other words, John is only bearing witness of YHWH God, NOT the
Son, which is in perfect harmony with Isaiah 40:3, which says
John was to prepare the way of YHWH God, not the Son!Then
Verse 10 goes on to say,[10] “He (God) was in the world”, and “the world “was made” by
him”, and the world knew him not.”The one that John the Baptist was preparing the way for, was the one
that was in the world which he made, and he is YHWH God All Mighty.Again,
Notice the Son of God has not yet been
referred to, from verse 1 through 13, and will not be until
verse 14, when the Word, which was God, was made flesh and dwelt
among us.John 1:14 “And the Word (which was God) was made flesh (and for that, I am forever grateful, and
I know he done it for me, and I am eternally grateful for his Son also), and dwelt among us, (and we beheld “his glory”
(Gods glory), the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”Now we have TWO,
the Eternal YHWH the Father, and the only begotten YHWH the Son, in one flesh body. Anybody
should be able
to see the connection between John 1:1 and verse 14, which
teaches the Word was God, (verse 1) and the Word was made flesh
and dwelt among us (verse 14), I am so grateful..2 Peter 1:1 says, “Simon Peter, a bond-servant and apostle
special messenger, personally chosen representative of Jesus Christ, To those who have received and possess by God’s
will “a precious faith of the same kind as ours”, by the righteousness of “our “God” and Savior,
Jesus Christ:” (HCSB)
King James version says, 2Pe
1:1 Simon Peter,
a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have
obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness
of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:Of our God and Savior Jesus Christ; see Adam Clark The mystery
of Christ is solved, when we understand he is “Both”, God and man, and once you understand this mystery, you can
harmonize the verses that teaches he is man, and the ones that teaches he is God also. Both,
the Old and New
Testaments sometimes speaks of the Messiah as the Son, like
Isaiah chapter 53, and sometimes as God, as Isaiah 35:4-6, and
sometimes as BOTH, the Son and the Father, as in Isaiah 9:6,
which describes him as the Son and the Everlasting Father and
the Mighty God! And until we understand he is BOTH, God and man, the New Testament can not be harmonized.
We must realize that, same as the Old Testament, he is spoken of as BOTH, God and man.As
man, there were things
he did not know, but as God, he knew all things, even what
those around him were thinking. Speaking as God, he said, destroy
this temple, the one that he was dwelling in, and in 3 days, I
will raise it up, but some did not understand that he was speaking
of his body, which is the Son of God, John 2:19. He was
speaking as God, when he consistently said that he came down from
Heaven, and that he was from above, and he was not of this
world, etc. He was speaking as God, when he said, “I am the
light of the world”, because John 1:9 teaches that God is the
light of the world. Paul spoke of him as God, when he said
that “by him were all things created”, Colossians 1:16, Peter
calls him “our God and Saviour, Jesus Christ”,
2 Peter 1:1, etc. and Col 2:8 says 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.Col 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of
the Godhead bodily. (Godhead means Deity!)Col 2:10
And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality
and power: I could go on and on, but I have made my point, that
he is Both God and man. There is only one Redeemer, God, and
Job understood God would one day stand on earth.Job 19:25-26 KJVS[25] “For I know that my “redeemer”
liveth, and that “he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth”: [26] And though after my skin worms destroy
this body , yet in my flesh shall I see “God:”The evidence shows that, in our bibles, the word Christ
is NOT used exclusively for the Son! The word “Christ” can, and is also used in referring to YHWH
All Mighty. I will prove this from scriptures shortly.John the Baptist’s primary mission was to prepare the way
of YHWH, not the Son!The bible refers to Two
separate and distinct beings and both are referred to as “Christ”,
one is Christ the Son, born in Bethlehem, and one is Christ the
LORD/YHWH from heaven, who’s going forth is of old, from Everlasting.One
Christ we can trace back to Bethlehem, and one on back to
creation, who is from everlasting, compare Mathew 2:4-5 with Micah
5:2. Scriptures sometimes speak of Christ, as man, and sometimes as God All Mighty! The Scripture
teaches that God, not a part of God, but the fullness of God, was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself/God! 2
Corinthians 5:19,21 says,[19] “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto “himself”,
not imputing their trespasses unto them;… [21] For “he” (the God that was in Christ) hath made “him”
(Christ) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of “God” in him.”We
see that there’s TWO, beings one dwelling in the other, or
perhaps both dwelling in one undefiled temple, born of a virgin,
made without hands, that was prepared special for the Son to
dwell in, Hebrews 10:5.One of the two is Christ the
Son of God, which is an undefiled temple of God, which was made
without hands, born of a virgin, which God dwelt in on earth.
Godhead/Diety!The other Christ is YHWH the Rock that followed them in the wilderness.1 Corinthians 10:4,9 [4]
And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of
that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ….Verse
says, [9] “Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.”This
is talking about YHWH who they tempted and saw his work 40
years in the wilderness which is referred to as Christ, which proves
the name YHWH belongs there, but because of the tradition not
to say the name YHWH, they substituted Christ! Deuteronomy
32:3-4 says,[3] “Because I will publish the name of the LORD/YHWH: ascribe ye greatness unto “our God”.
[4] “He is the Rock”, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a “God” of truth and without
iniquity, just and right is he.” Then we go to
Hebrews chapters 3 & 4 to show YHWH is CHRIST in the
wilderness, and we should hear his voice, Christ’s voice, also
ch 4 YHWH is called Joshua instead of YHWH, because of the
tradition not to say the name YHWH.Moses said there
is no Rock like our Rock. YHWH is truly the Rock that the church
is founded upon, and when Peter said tho are the Christ, the
Son of God, he understood that Christ YHWH was the Rock, and
the Messiah said, upon this Rock, or revelation that Christ is
also YHWH the Rock, I will build my Church.We must
build our house upon that same Rock, which is the Rock of our salvation, because everything else is sinking sand. Psalm
95:1 says,[1] “O come, let us sing unto the LORD : let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.”YHWH
is the Rock of our salvation, we do not have TWO ROCKS, or two
Creators, two king of kings, Two first and lasts, TWO lights
of the world, Two Divines, Two All Might’s, Two I AM’s, Two
Masters, etc. If we don’t have TWO beings
that is called Christ, then we have TWO Creators, TWO Gods etc. let me explain.YHWH the Rock was in his Son, the
Messiah.Now Read John 1 and Gen 1And show that John the Baptist’s mission was to prepare the way of
YHWH God, not the Son.John the Baptist is one of the
greatest Prophets that ever lived, and the Messiah himself
said there is none greater than John. Surely we can believe
what the Great Prophet John the Baptist says, concerning the Messiah.In
Isaiah 40:3 it teaches that John the Baptist is the voice of one crying in the wilderness, saying, “prepare the way of
YHWH, make straight a highway in the desert for our “God”, (YHWH). This is not taking about the Son of YHWH.Now
there’s no doubt that John the Baptist was preparing the way of
YHWH God in Isaiah 40:3, and in John 1:14-25, it teaches that
Jesus is that one that John prepared the way for, and had it
not been for the tradition not to say the name YHWH, it would
have said YHWH, instead of Jesus, because that was who they
were talking about, YHWH!Quote:[14] “And
the Word (God) was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we
beheld “his” glory”, the glory as of the only begotten
of the Father,) full of grace and truth. [15] John bare witness
of “him” (YHWH God), and cried, saying, This was
he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before
me: for he “was before me”. [16] And of his fulness
have all we received, and grace for grace. [17] For the law was
given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus (YHWH) Christ.
[18] No man hath seen “God” at any time; the only begotten Son,
which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared
him. [19] And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent
priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
[20] And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, “I am not
the “Christ”. [21] And they asked him, What
then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that
prophet? And he answered, No. [22] Then said they unto him, Who
art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What
sayest thou of thyself? [23] He said, I am the voice of one
crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the LORD, as
said the prophet Esaias. [24] And they which were sent were
of the Pharisees. [25] And they asked him, and said unto him,
Why baptizest thou then, if thou be “not that Christ”
(YHWH), nor Elias, neither that prophet?”The
Trinitarian scholars are Trinitarians, NOT because of their ability
to read what the Greek is actually saying, but because of their
inability to understand what they read, and then they follow
the tradition of men that has blinded them, which causes them
to add to or not accept what the Greek actually says. They rightfully
state what the Greek says, but because of tradition, they put a
private interpretation on what it says as is the case in John
1:1, the word was God.The Trinitarian scholars
rightfully state the Greek in John 1:1 which says that the word
was with God, and the word “was God”, and then turn around and
and say that the word that “was God”, was
really the Son of God, creating a second person of the Godhead,
and that is because of their tradition. Every Bible translation
I know of, and there are many, says that the Word was God.Because
of bad tradition, they try to separate God’s
word from himself, creating a separate Creator/God, from God
the Creator, and then try to harmonize the one God teaching found
throughout the scriptures, by saying it is really one God
consisting of THREE separate beings in one, but all
this is proven wrong when we read the actual creation account
in Gen-1, and through the Old Testament, where there is only
one single being, God that created all things, and then rested
the seventh day!It is the same with us, if we will
not accept what it says, as it is written, without trying to
explain it away. The one that does not have the truth, in every
debate, is the one who has to explain everything away with fair
speeches .Common sense proof that the Messiah is
both God and man.You can always tell when is speaking as God, i.e. It is when he elevates or lifts himself up,
he is speaking as God. No child of God will elevate himself therefore he is speaking as God, not man.Would any
son of God lift himself up, not giving God glory?When we say anything that we have done, we give God glory. When
He said, “I am the light of the world, and also he said I am the way the truth and the life”, he is speaking as
God.When He spake as man, he always gave God glory, example, the Father is great than I, and the Lord’s Prayer
he never mentioned the kingdom belonging to anyone else and all the glory belongs to God, forever!It is the kingdom
of God, but the kingdom of Christ, when referring to the Deity which was in Christ.The God that was in the cloud
sent the cloud, and the God that was in the Son, sent the Son. This does not mean that God had to be somewhere else Malachi
3:1 KJVS[1] Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before “me” (YHWH God):
and the LORD, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to “his temple”, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight
in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.”Adam Clark on Luke 2:11, which says,”For
unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the LORD.”This
is another place
that shows that Christ is YHWH, and when we understand YHWH
belongs here, instead of Lord, but because of tradition not to
say the name YHWH, we have the substitute word LORD.Adam Clark writes,”The Lord. Κυριος,
“the supreme, eternal Being, the ruler of the heavens and the earth”. The Septuagint generally translate
יהוה Yehovah by Κυριος. This Hebrew word, from היה
hayah, he was, “properly points out the eternity and self-existence of the Supreme Being”; and if we may rely on
the authority of “Hesychius, which no scholar will call in question, Κυριος is
a proper translation of יהוה Yehovah, as it comes from κυρω, – τυγχανω,
I am, I exist. Others derive it from κυρος, authority, legislative power”…..and indeed
the “word Lord”, in the text, appears to be properly understood, when applied to the “deity” of Christ.”According
to the above, the verse is saying Christ YHWH is born in the city of David, not Christ the Lord!This is obviously
the same Christ YHWH that was to be born in Bethlehem, spoken of by the prophet Micah 5:2,”But
thou, Beth-lehem
Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah,
yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler
in Israel; “whose goings forth have been from of old, from
everlasting”.This was the scripture that the
Chief Priests and Scribes gave to Herod, when he asked, where will Christ be born?Notice they understood that Christ
was to be born (as a Son), whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting (as God).This
shows that
Christ is YHWH, he is BOTH the Father and Son, the Father,
whose going forth have been from of old, from everlasting, and
the Son born in Bethlehem.Again, Isaiah 35:4-6Says,[4]
“Say to them that are of a fearful
heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, “your God” will come with
vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come
and “save you”. [5] “Then” the eyes of the blind shall be
opened, (when God comes) and the ears of the
deaf shall be unstopped (when God comes). [6] Then shall the
lame man leap as an hart (when God comes), and the tongue of
the dumb sing (when God comes): for in the wilderness shall
waters break out, and streams in the desert (when God comes).”This
was fulfilled in the Messiah, when God came in the flesh, see
Mathew 11:4-5, where he says to tell John the Baptist that these
things are happening, it is the fundamental doctrine of the
gospel.
Adam Clark, Albert Barns, and
other Scholars believe God was manifested in the flesh in first Timothy 3:16. They explain why, Barns said, Quote:“Was
manifest – Margin, “Manifested.” The meaning is, “appeared” in the flesh.In
the flesh –
In human nature; see this explained in the notes on Rom 1:3.
The expression here looks as though the true reading of the
much-disputed
word was “God.” It could not have been, it would seem evident, ὁ
ho, “which,” referring to “mystery;”
for “how could a mystery” “be manifested in the flesh?” Nor
could it it be ὅς hos, “who,”
unless that should “refer to one who was more than a man”; for
how absurd would it be to say that “a man
was manifested, or appeared in the flesh!” “How else could a
man appear”? The phrase here means that “God
appeared in human form”, or with human nature; and this is
declared to be the “great” truth so long concealed
from human view, but now revealed as constituting the
fundamental doctrine of the gospel. They expressions which follow in
this verse refer to God “as” thus manifested in the flesh; to
the Saviour as he appeared on earth, “regarded
as a divine and human being”. It was the fact that he thus
appeared and sustained this character, which made the things
which are immediately specified so remarkable, and so worthy of
attention.”
[1] “Jude,
the “servant” of Jesus Christ, “and” “brother of James”,
[notice Jude is both, a servants and
brother, same as God is both Father and son!]
to them that are
sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ,
and called:”
Jude 1:4 “For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of
old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, “and” (also )
denying the “only” Lord” God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” [he is both]
Jude
1:21,25[21] Keep yourselves in the love of “God”, looking for the mercy of our “Lord” Jesus
Christ unto eternal life… [25] To the “only” wise “God our Saviour”, be glory and majesty, dominion
and power, both now and ever. Amen.”
According to these verses, the “only” wise
God our Saviour is Christ!
Adam Clark says this about Jude 1:4,
“The
only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ – Μονον Δεσποτην
Θεον και Κυριον ἡμων Ιησουν
Χριστον αρυουμενοι . These
words may be translated, “Denying the only sovereign God, even
our Lord Jesus Christ”. But Θεον
God, is omitted by ABC, sixteen others, with Erpen’s Arabic,
the Coptic, Ethiopic, Armenian, and Vulgate, and by many of the
fathers. It is very likely that it was originally inserted as a
gloss, to ascertain to whom the title of τον
μονον Δεσποτην, the only Sovereign, belonged; “and
thus make “two” persons where only “one” seems to be intended”.
The passage I believe belongs solely
to Jesus Christ, and may be read thus: “Denying the only
sovereign Ruler”, “even our Lord Jesus Christ”.
Most translation of the bible agree with Adam Clark.
Jude obviously is only one person
in verse 1, but he is BOTH the “servant” of Jesus Christ, “and” “brother of James”.
Why can’t the same apply to verse 4, where speaking of the Father and son? it says,
“the
“only” Lord” God, and our Lord Jesus Christ”, especially considering what Adam Clark said?
The HCSB reads, Jude 1:4 … “and denying Jesus Christ, our “only” Master and Lord.”
Darby translation says,”and denying our “only” Master and Lord Jesus Christ.”
Jude 1:4 in the Amplified Bible reads, “and deny and disown “our “only” Master and Lord,
Jesus Christ.”
Jude 1:4 in the American Standard Version reads, “and denying our
only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.”
Bottom line is, when it refers to the ONLY “Lord”,
it has to be speaking to his Deity, for obvious reasons, the Son/flesh is not the ONLY “Lord, or Sovereign”, or
“only” wise God our Saviour, but the Father God that dwelt in him is!
He is both.
I
believe when push comes to shove, that anyone who can resist the truth
of gods word, is capable of anything,
including killing you and thinking they are doing God a
service, as they killed the Messiah (God in flesh)! They are sent
a strong delusion, to believe a lie and be damed. Many today
are operating under a strong delusion, and are antichrist, not
believing that God All Mighty was made flesh, 1st John 4:3. Tit 2:13 “Looking
for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of “the great God” and “our Saviour Jesus Christ”;Tit
2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto “himself” a peculiar
people, zealous of good works.Tit 2:15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let
no man despise thee.” See Adam Clark who says “This clause, literally translated, is as follows: And the appearing
of the glory of “the great God”, “even our Savior Jesus Christ.”
Through
the eternal spirit the son offered up himself, a sacrifice to
God that something the son did through the Eternal spirit that
was in him.
Heb 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit
offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
If
we have enough of the spirit of God in us, it is possible,
through that spirit, to offer our fleshly bodies also. In other
words we can lay down our lives by the Spirit of God that is in
us.
God made the covenant, so was
God the testator?
Heb
9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the
new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of
the transgressions that were under the first testament, they
which are called might receive the promise of eternal
inheritance.Heb 9:16 For where a testament is, there
must also of necessity be the death of the testator.Heb 9:17 For a testament is of force after men are dead:
otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.Heb 9:18 Whereupon neither the first testament
was dedicated without blood.Heb 9:19 For when Moses
had spoken every precept to all the people according
to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with
water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book,
and all the people,Heb 9:20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.Heb
9:21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.Heb 9:22 And
almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.Heb
9:23 It
was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the
heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things
themselves with better sacrifices than these.Heb 9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made
with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:Heb
9:25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood
of others;Heb 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in
the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.Heb 9:27 And as it is appointed
unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:Heb 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of
many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
City
of David, savior Christ the Lord
Lord can mean master or a substitute for YHWH
Christ means anointed or Messiah, but is also a substitute for the sacred name YHWH
