The Godhead

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Here is the truth about the Godhead.

We must beware of false doctrines, such as the trinity. The Bible tells us that all the fullness of the Godhead is in Christ. (Colossians 2:8-10).

We are complete in Jesus. It is Jesus, our Heavenly Father that robed Himself in a holy human body, born of a woman, so that He could pay the price of death for OUR sins. (John 14:6-19, 1Peter 1:18-19, John 1:29, Hebrews 2:14-15).

Jesus died, He was buried, and on the third day He rose from the dead. We were dead in our sins, but Jesus gives us Life. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). This is the Gospel.

Jesus gives us Life when we put off the sins of our flesh by repentance, we bury our sins by water baptism in the name of JESUS, (washing them away by the blood that Jesus shed), and we are filled with His Life giving Spirit, the Holy Ghost. (Acts 2:38, John 6:63).

Colossians 2:8-15  "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. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

"In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

"And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened [made alive] together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

"And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it."

In The Beginning, The Son?

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Here is an article by an unknown author I would like to share.

Google commons

In the beginning what form was the Son in? There was no heaven. He wasn’t sitting next to the Father. There wasn’t a place to sit. Nothing visible or invisible had been created. There were no angels. What form was God manifested in? None. There were no manifestations. There was nothing except the Word. And that Word was in the form of an invisible Spirit- and still is. Logos is the mind and thoughts of God. 

People have for centuries conjured up images of things that are not accurate or true. Please understand heaven was “created.” It has not always been there. The one throne in heaven wasn’t always there. 

All things that were created? They were created by Jesus Christ. Who is Jesus Christ? God manifest in the flesh. 

The Bible doesn’t teach the Trinity in any measure, -the Bible teaches about one God. Some say these three are one. That’s not true. Three are not one, but one God is manifested in three.

Google commons

In the beginning then, what form or essence was the Father? The Son? The Holy Ghost. Three Spirit forms? The Son was an invisible Spirit? Three minds? You can’t say three minds are one mind.

God is a singular Spirit. Just one. John 4:24. The Holy one of Israel. The Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit is simply the name of God’s Spirit in us. It is a designation. 

The Holy Spirit doesn’t think anything God doesn’t think. Two minds would be two Gods. Three minds would be three Gods. It’s unlearned to believe the Holy Ghost is a separate Spirit. 

We are made in God’s image and likeness. Body, Soul, Spirit. We are for sure one being. 

Jesus is the image of the invisible God. God was in Christ. There are not three persons in the Godhead. 

It’s against what the Bible teaches. 

Google commons

The Father and the Holy Spirit are one and the same. 

The Father is a Holy Spirit. There is only one Spirit. That Spirit is God. That Spirit took on the form of man. 

Heaven was created. In the beginning was the Word. 

Nothing else. 

That Word was God. The Word was the only thing. The mind of God, the thoughts of God. What form? The same as today. 

God is an invisible Spirit. He has always been an invisible Spirit, and always will be. You cannot see God and you never will see God. 

Google commons

The imaginations of the Father sitting on the throne are just that- imagined. God is an invisible Spirit who no man has ever seen nor can see. He is light that cannot be seen.

“which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of Lords; who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.” 1 Tim ‬ ‭6:15-16‬ ‭

“Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.” 1 Tim‬ ‭1:17‬ ‭

“Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:” Colossians‬ ‭1:15‬ ‭

Stephen did not see God when he looked into heaven. The Bible says he saw the glory “of” God. Hebrews 1:3 says that Jesus is the brightness of His Glory. It all points to Jesus Christ. In Him - not them - dwells all the fulness of the Godhead Bodily. 

That invisible singular Spirit overshadowed Mary and was born of woman. 

He was then in the world and the world was made by Him. That’s simple. It says it was made by Jesus Christ in more than one place. 

Some Christian leaders get angry when someone gets baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. They will cast you out because you baptize in the only name that can cast out devils. They choose to be baptized - I can’t say in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, because they don’t. They get baptized by simply repeating the command of Jesus Christ instead of obeying it. 

They say, “I now baptize you in the name of the Father, and the name of the Son, and the Name of the Holy Ghost.” Only they don’t - they don’t say one name. They don’t say the only name. Jesus Christ. Seven days after Jesus ascended Peter said to be baptized in that NAME.

Baptism is in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ

‭NAME no other name than Jesus Christ Acts‬ ‭4:12‬ 

NAME of the Lord Jesus Acts‬ ‭8:16‬ ‭

NAME of the Lord Acts‬ ‭10:48‬ ‭

Jesus is God Alone

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Here is an article from an unknown author that I wanted to share.

Google commons

Jesus is God. He is God alone.

 There is none like Him. None can be compared to Him. None can give Him counsel. He will not share his glory with another. There is only one thing He does not know; another God. His breath is our life. Our lives are in the palm of His hand. In Him we live and move and have our very being. He made us a living soul. There is only one perfect, Holy, God breathed book in the entire universe. The Holy Bible.

He is Logos. He is thought. His thoughts are higher than ours. If He thinks it, it was already there. He does not discover truth, He is Truth. He does not increase in knowledge. His thoughts are perfect. He does not think before He speaks. He doesn’t ponder, hesitate, wonder, experiment, He is perfect. He is complete. He is God. Every adjective fails to come close to matching his Glory and splendor. He is the only true and wise God, Jesus Christ our savior.

Google commons

His ways are higher than ours are. He is beyond finding out. Our wisdom is foolishness with Him. There is only one thing to do. Worship Him. He is Alpha, Omega, the beginning and the end the first and the last, and beside Him there is no God.  Who has given Him counsel? None. Jesus was made a little lower than the angels. Jesus Christ was born a man. His name shall be called Emmanuel. God with us. He was in the world, and the world was created by Him. He reveals Himself to select ones. He won’t slip trip or fall, and He doesn’t wear safety shoes. 

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah‬ ‭55

The Father

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Here is an article by an unknown author that I am sharing.

Google commons

It is erroneously stated that Oneness Apostolics deny the Father. This is not possible. Without the Father, which is a title, there wouldn’t be a Son, which is also a title. The Father is a singular Holy Spirit. God is invisible and will NEVER be seen by anyone. The only begotten Son which is in the bosom of the Father, which is Jesus Christ, hath declared Him. The word declared means to unfold…. The Father is that one omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, invisible Spirit that is resident and manifest in the Son - hence the Son. The Son is not eternal. There was a day the Son was begotten. 

It must be dismissed that The Father sits on the throne and Jesus is kneeling or standing next to Him. God is invisible and that will Never change. Jesus is the image, the only image, of that invisible God. 

Google commons

We have been programmed to conjure up images of the Father, which is natural. When you say Father and Son you automatically think of two. Yet, our God is one Lord. How can this be? That One Spirit became flesh. God sent His Son is rendered and understood to be by revelation that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.

…until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ

In his times He shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of Lords; Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. 1 Tim ‭6.

The Father can’t sit on the throne because the Father is an invisible Spirit, He is an invisible Spirit and always will be. Who sits on the throne? The Son of God. Who is the Son of God? The manifestation, the declaration, the image or the icon of God. 

Thomas wanted to see the Father, Jesus said when you’ve seen Me, you’ve seen the Father. No man will ever see God, we will never see the light of God. 

Google commons

His Name shall be called - Jesus shall be called - Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. These are names ascribed to the child that would be born. The government shall be on His shoulder. This was the cross that He would bear.

Jesus was

The Lamb

The High priest

Bread of Life

The Mercy Seat

The Blood on the Mercy Seat

The Veil that was rent in Twain signified His flesh.

How can Jesus be the Father and the Son? The same way He can be the Lion and the Lamb. The same way He can be the first and the last. The same way He can be the beginning and the end. The same way He can be All there is.

Jesus is the song of Heaven

Jesus is the light of Heaven

Jesus created the Heavens - all things were made by Him - Who is Him? Jesus - and for Him. Jesus made the throne that He sits on. 

Google commons

Stephen saw the Glory of God - and Jesus. Would it surprise you to know that the one who is and was the first and the last, the Lion and the Lamb is also the the Glory of God? Jesus is the brightness of His Glory. Jesus is the visible manifestation of the Invisible God.

There is no office that Jesus does not fill. Pull back the curtain of the Father, you’ll find Jesus. The greatest name in this world and the world to come? Jesus Christ. 

It’s blindness that causes anyone to say that God’s name is God. Jesus called Satan the god of this world. That’s emphatic, empirical proof that g-o-d is not a name. Judas is known as the son of perdition. That’s emphatical, empirical proof that s-o-n, is not a name. 

There is only one name - Jesus. Is His name Jehovah? Jesus means Jehovah has become our salvation. All of the compound names of Jehovah in the Old Testament are found and revealed in Jesus Christ.

The compound names of Jehovah or Yahweh found in the Old Testament are fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Jehovah Jireh - the Lord will provide - Jesus 

Jehovah Rapha - the Lord who heals - Jesus 

Jehovah Nissi - the Lord is my banner - Jesus

Google commons

These and many more reflect God's character and His relationship with humanity.

In that day there shall be One Lord and His Name one. 

You can’t cast out a devil by saying father, son, or Holy Ghost.

Jesus said in my name you shall cast out devils

At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow

Repentance and remission of sins shall be preached in His Name

The lame man was healed by the Name of Jesus Christ, and it’s the only Name given under heaven whereby we must be saved.

“Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? 

and there is no God else beside me; 

for I am God, and there is none else.

Google commons

That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.   Isaiah‬ ‭45.

“that at the name of JESUS every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians‬ ‭2

“Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. 

I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour - Isaiah 43:11 - Jesus is that savior. 

Unto you is born this day in the city of David a savior which is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:11

There is no office He does not fill

There is no sickness He cannot heal - that’s Jesus.

Google commons

There are no songs written about any other god. There are no sermons preached about any other name. Preach about Jehovah, it will lead you to Jesus. Preach about One God, it will lead you to Jesus. Preach about one Lord, you’ll be preaching about Jesus. Preach about healing? You’ll be preaching about Jesus. Jesus saves - Jesus Heals. Jesus delivers - it’s the Son that sets us free. That’s Jesus. Who died and rose again? Jesus. Who is Jesus going to present the church to? Jesus. Himself. From Genesis to Revelation, it’s Jesus. From the rising of the Son to the going down of the same it’s Jesus! 

Jesus Christ is King of Kings and Lord of Lords and that emphatically means there is none above Him. He is subservient to none. That’s the voice of God. He thought it not robbery to be EQUAL with God. Jesus said my Father is greater than I - Jesus was saying The Spirit is greater than this flesh. 

Who being in the form (external appearance) of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God. He was God manifest in the flesh. God revealed. Jesus is the only God we will ever see. There are not two - there is only one person of God. It was Job that said will you accept His person? There are not three persons. There is only one. There is only one Lord - Jesus is that Lord. There is only One Spirit, Jesus is that Spirit. There is only one name, Jesus is that Name. There is only one potentate. Jesus is that Potentate. There is only one King, Jesus is that King. There is only one throne - Jesus sits on that throne.

Is There Any Miracles In The Titles?

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Here is a perfectly legitimate question ?  

   “Is There any Miracles In The Titles?”

Is there any miracles

Preformed in the titles

Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost?

I know not of one time 

Of the titles being used

In rebuking the devil...

Or the raising the dead,

Or getting sins remitted...

Or Healing the blind.

The leapers or

The sick!

There were no devils

Recorded to be cast out

Or down

Or told to flee!

The devils don’t tremble at the titles,

They don’t resist the titles

Or flee at the mention of the titles!

But...

At the name of Jesus Christ,

All these things are possible,

And do happen and the devils flee and tremble!

At the baptizing in the name of Jesus Christ,

Sins are remitted,

Sins are forgotten

And people are buried in the name of Jesus Christ!

So what I don’t understand is...

There is no baptism recorded in

The Father Son and Holy Ghost,

None of these other things

I’ve spoken of has been done in the titles...

Why are you using the titles?

It ain’t in the bible!

Why are you believing

Man over God?

Salvation is Acts 2:38.

We are Heritics?

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

I found this recently.  The battle between Monotheism and the Trinity continues! All pictures by Google commons.

Been looking at several Heretic hunter’s videos that target Oneness Pentecostalism. I find it interesting that we are heretics teaching absolute Monotheism as taught by Moses in the OT revealed as Jesus in the NT.  Our main heresy is we deny the doctrine of the Trinity which is ‘Orthodox?’ 

Matters not the word Trinity isn’t found in scriptures. 

Matters not the term Triune Godhead isn’t found in scripture. 

Matters not the Jews of the OT did not believe God was plural beings. 

Matters not the term ‘Persons’ is never applied to God in scripture. 

Matters not the Shema Deut. 6:4 declares God is one. 

Matters not Jesus proclaimed that was the greatest commandment. 

Matters not the phrase God the Son is no where in the Bible. 

Matters not we can’t find the term Eternal Son in scripture. 

Honestly we can’t find where Jesus is a member of the Godhead? 

But rather the Godhead dwells in Him? 

Yet we are heretical? 

The second heretical teaching is that baptism must be done in Jesus Name? 

Matters not Matthew wasn’t written until about 30 years after the birth of the church in Acts. 

Matters not Matthew stood with Peter on the day of Pentecost. 

Matters not Peter's message was called the Apostles’ doctrine including Matthew. 

Matters not the Apostles who heard what was said in Mt. 28;19 understood it combined with Luke 24;47 and Mk. 16;16-17. Thus they knew the NAME and baptized in that NAME. 

Matters not Peter was given the keys of the kingdom by Jesus. 

Matters not Peter in Acts 2 had received the Spirit of truth that would bring to remembrance what Jesus had said. 

Matters not every NT convert was baptized in Jesus name. 

Matters not every reference to baptism in the Epistles refer to being baptized into Christ NOTHING mentioned about the Trinity? 

All historical records vindicate the church of the 1st century baptized in Jesus name. 

But we are heretics?
