Thank you for the invite. It is indeed Wonderful to be a Vessel use by God in ways that no man can place their finger on. You by now have read my bio , if not, I am all about business to the Glory of God.
One night ( in the year 2007), after reading the Book of Esther, I've been very touched by the story of this book and I made this vow to the Lord: If you provide me a godly woman and give me sons and daughters, my first son will be called Moredecai and my first daughter will be called Esther. I made a vow to the Lord and My wife gave birth to my first son in 2009. I called him "Mordecai" a name found in the Book of Esther 2:19(Holy Bible).
And last Wednesday ( January 4th 2012) my wife gave birth to Esther at 15 h 15 P.m. by caesarian. It was trying, difficult, but Jesus-Christ helped me and granted my wish.
“Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king”.
Daniel 3:16-17
O my Lord Jesus, do something right now! Please rescue your Son from their hands!
For you are the same yesturday and today and forever(Hebrews 13:8) Amen!!!!!
THANKS FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR YOUR TWO DAUGHTERS IN 2009.
"...BUT JUST LIKE GOD CAN TAKE WHAT IS MEANT TO BE EVIL AND TURN IT INTO GOOD, CHRISTIANS CAN DO THE SAME BY CELEBRATING THIS SEASON WITH OUR FOCUS ON JESUS, HIS MIRACULOUS BIRTH, THE PURPOSE OF HIS BIRTH AND EARTHLY MINISTRY..."
Sister, can you show me in the Holy Scriptures where GOD TOOK WHAT IS MEANT TO BE EVIL,NAMELY THE CHRISTMAS AND TURNED IT INTO GOOD?
Scriptures references please!
If you can't find a biblical verse which can support your assertion above, then stop teaching lies, falshood, traditions and HERESIES!
Dear sister, I do respect your faith.
I do not have the right to condemn those who keep on celebrating Christmas.
Indeed, when I was a boy, I did the same thing by ignorance.
Now, I'm mature and by revelation I realize that Christmas is paganism.
Now, it is a duty for me to teach you the truth. Woe to me if I do not do it!!!
Dear sister, please, Do not go beyond what is written. Please, do not do that!
Remember, Brother Paul said:
"Now, brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, "Do not go beyond what is written." Then you will not take pride in one man over against another".
HalleluYAH!!! May Abba Yah Pour out his Ruach on your precious son! Congratulations Brother!!! As far as the name is concerned if you give me until early this evening I will have an answer for you. I have never heard this before, but it doesn't mean that it isnt true. I would like to ask one of the Elders who have studies the Word and Hebrew, if you don't mind.
I am truly rejoicing with you my brother. Another, for the Kingdom! HalleluYah!
Brother Anthony Watson, the very meaning of the Word "ANOTHER" can be found in the following biblical passage: Matthew 13:13-15
Indeed, Jesus said:
"13This is why I speak to them in parables:
"Though seeing, they do not see;
though hearing, they do not hear or understand. 14In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:
" 'You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
15For this people's heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.'[a]"
Brother, you put the stress on the word "ANOTHER" simply because you are spiritually blind. I must pray for you so that our Lord can open yours eyes, since your heart has become calloused; you hardly hear with your ears, and you have closed your eyes...
Brother Anthony Watson, how could the Holy Spirit be ANOTHER Person, different from Jesus While Jesus has said: "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you..." ?
In which form will Jesus come to us after He rose up?
Jesus said again:
"Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."
Brother Anthony Watson, please tell me, In which form will Jesus be with two or three who come together in His name, after He rose up?
Indeed, Brother Paul has said:
“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me”.
Galatians 2:20
Brother Anthony Watson, please, tell me, Isn’t the Holy Spirit, Christ living in Brother Paul yesterday and in each believer today?
Don’t you know that “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever”?
Hebrews 13:8
O my Lord, please open the eyes of the Trinitarians because They are misled!!!!!!
Truly speaking, the word “ANOTHER” was written expressly to confound the wise and learned (Matthew 11:25).
Truly speaking, the word “ANOTHER” was written expressly to confound the blind men(Matthew 13:13-15).
Indeed, Jesus said:
“And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[a] in you. 18I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
John 14:16-18
Indeed, Jesus has said: "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you"
"...I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor…."
Here, we see that the FATHER is the One who will give us another Counselor…
But it is also written:
"When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me”.
John 15:26
Here, we notice that JESUS is the One who will give us another Counselor…
Brother Anthony Watson, do you see TWO PERSONS (THE FATHER and JESUS) Who would be the senders of the same Counselor?
Besides, Jesus said:
“ The Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[a] in you. 18I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you…”
Brother Anthony Watson, according to Galatians 2:20, 1 Corinthians 6:12 and Romans 8: 9-11, isn’t Jesus the same Counsolor, the same Holy Spirit He promised He would be in us?
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."
Revelation 3:22
"...You may not admit it Germain, but you are learning from me, and I know that I am helping you..."
Is it possible for a SPIRITUALLY BLIND man to lead someone who is led by the Holy Spirit? I wonder!
Brother, your assertion and your false teachings above make me laugh. Please, do not make me fall in the pit!
Now, Brother Anthony Watson, since you assert that I'm learning from you, then will you take on the challenge of answering AT LAST my following questions?
Indeed, Phillip asked a question to Jesus Christ:
Question: “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us”
Our Lord Jesus Christ replied:
Answer: DON’T YOU KNOW ME PHILIP…?
Besides, Jesus said:
“If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."
John 14:7
“…Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me?...”
We notice that Jesus didn’t reply: Don't you know HIM, Philip…?, but He replied:
DON’T YOU KNOW ME PHILIP…?
ME ! ME! ME ! ME! Amen!
WHO IS REALLY THE FATHER ACCORDING TO THE BIBLICAL PASSAGE ABOVE?
AREN’T JESUS AND THE FATHER THE SAME ACCORDING TO THE BIBLICAL PASSAGE ABOVE?
WAS JESUS SPEAKING ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE TO PHILIP?
When Jesus said:
“If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."
John 14:7
What did He mean?
Dear "Trinity" teacher Anthony Watson, I'm waiting for your insightful answer.
“…Lets do this Germain. This is a dialogue between a Trinitarian and a Oneness Pentecostal. Come on Germain, the BPN fans have bought their tickets, and you are a no-show!”
Brother, first of all, let me tell you that I’m a non denominational Christian.
Did, the BPN fans have bought their tickets?
OK!
So let them wait and see!
Is my back now up against a wall?
Brother Anthony Watson, time has come for me to show you that you don’t even know your A B C D in the knowledge of the Holy Scriptures.
Indeed, you challenged me to respond to points 8, 9, and 12 of your post above!
Indeed, you've said:
"...(8) Jesus said that the Father was "greater than all" and "greater than I" (PROOF: John 10:29; 14:28). Jesus then could NOT be the Father. Paul also stated that the Father was the "head of Christ" (PROOF: Colossians 3:23; 11:3). This cannot be refuted..."
"...(9) God the Father is called "he" (PROOF: John 14:16); God the Son is called "he" (PROOF: John 8:23-25). and God the Holy Spirit is called "he" and "another" (PROOF: John 14:16-17, 26; 15:26; 16:7-15), so if personal pronouns are used of each Person in making a distinction between them as is done with other persons, there must be three separate Persons.
Germain, how can this be the "things taught by demons"? This is the Word of God, and it cannot be refuted!..."
"...(12) Many statements were made concerning the Father that could not have been true to Jesus: the Father was in Heaven while Jesus was on Earth (PROOF: Matthew 5:1, 48); the Father knew things that Jesus did not know (PROOF: Matthew 10:29-31; Mark 13:32; Acts 1:7; Revelation 1:1); the Father was "good," but Jesus did not claim any such quality in Himself (PROOF: Matthew 19:17); the Father was on a throne, and Jesus was not (PROOF: Matthew 23:22); Jesus is coming in the glory of the Father and not in His own glory (PROOF: Matthew 16:27). There is no way that you can refute any of this..."
Brother Anthony Watson,
1* Jesus has said that: the Father was "greater than all" and "greater than I".
It’s true, it is so said the Bible! Amen!
2* Paul also stated that the Father was the "head of Christ.
It’s true, it is so said the Bible! Amen!
3* God the Father is called "he". The Son is called "he" The Holy Spirit is called "he" and "another”…
It’s true, it is so said the Bible! Amen!
The Father knew things that Jesus did not know (Mark 13:32)
It’s true, it is so said the Bible! Amen!
Etc.
Brother Anthony Watson, although all these statements can be found in the Bible, you will never seize their meaning unless you receive a revelation from God(Matthew 11:25).
Your intellectual understanding of the Bible can never enable you to seize the very meaning of those statements! Never!
Indeed, Jesus Christ has said:
" 11He replied, "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. 12Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. 13This is why I speak to them in parables:
"Though seeing, they do not see;
though hearing, they do not hear or understand. 14In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:
" 'You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
15For this people's heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.'[a]"
Matthew 13:11-15
Brother, Anthony Watson, the statements listed above are parables and you can seize their meaning only by revelation.
Brother, this is what I see by revelation:
FATHER, SON and HOLY SPIRIT are TITLES of the Single God (God is one) or the single PERSON, namely JESUS CHRIST.
Indeed, Jesus said:
“If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."
John 14:7
For instance, let me ask you a specific question.
Jesus said:
“And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[a] in you. 18I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
John 14:16-18
"...I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor…."
Here, we see that the FATHER is the One who will give us another Counselor…
But it is also written:
"When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me”.
John 15:26
Here, we notice that JESUS is the One who will give us another Counselor…
Brother Anthony Watson, do you see TWO PERSONS (THE FATHER and JESUS) Who would be the senders of the same Counselor?
Besides, Jesus said:
“ The Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[a] in you. 18I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you…”
Brother Anthony Watson, according to Galatians 2:20, 1 Corinthians 6:12 and Romans 8: 9-11, isn’t Jesus the same Counsolor, the same Holy Spirit He promised He would be in us?
Please, answer my questions above so that we can go to the second step of our studies for I do have many other specific questions to ask you!!!!!!!!!!!
The BPN fans and I are waiting for your reply!
Blessings,
“The problem with you, Germain, is that you have an unteachable spirit, you are uneducated, you don't know English grammar, you don't know, and don't want to learn, Biblical Hebrew and Koine Greek, you don't know how to write well, which is why you cut & paste everything, you don't have a good command of the Bible, and you always fail to respond to challenges that destroy your erroneous arguments…”
Brother Anthony Watson, with all due respect, let me tell you that you sound like the accuser of our brothers who accuses them before our God day and night (Revelation 12:10), don’t you?
YOUR ACCUSATIONS ABOVE ARE FALSE!
Certainly, my English is not excellent enough, but I'm pretty sure that you understand whatever I tell you even if the words don’t sometimes fit together.
Besides, ENGLISH is not my mother tongue. I live in a French speaking country.
So, if your FRENCH is as good as mine, then let us continue the discussion into French, maybe you will understand me more!
Anyway, as Brother Paul said, I’d like to tell you also that “My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power”.
1 Corinthians 2:1-5
Amen!!!!!!
Indeed, I’ve already responded to the twelve points in your post.
Please take time to read my post above and you will find the ANSWER of each point of your post, even though it has not been done line by line.
Now, my Brother Anthony Watson, the conclusion in that matter everything being heard is that, you must take on the challenge of answering my following question:
PLEASE, DO NOT AVOID MY QUESTION BELOW:
Indeed, Phillip asked a question to Jesus Christ:
Question: “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us”
Our Lord Jesus Christ replied:
Answer: DON’T YOU KNOW ME PHILIP…?
“…Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me?...”
We notice that Jesus didn’t reply: Don't you know HIM, Philip…?, but He replied:
DON’T YOU KNOW ME PHILIP…?
ME ! ME! ME ! ME! Amen!
WHO IS REALLY THE FATHER ACCORDING TO THE BIBLICAL PASSAGE ABOVE?
AREN’T JESUS AND THE FATHER THE SAME ACCORDING TO THE BIBLICAL PASSAGE ABOVE?
WAS JESUS SPEAKING ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE TO PHILIP?
Enough is enough!!!!!!!
I’m waiting for your answer, spiritually blind men!
Don’t you believe that “…God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation”???
2 Corinthians 5:19
If you do not believe this, then you are spiritually blind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TRINITY IS NOT SCRIPTURAL, IT’S JUST A DOCTRINE TAUGHT BY DEMONS!!!!
“The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons”.
“…when Jesus was dying on the Cross, he cried out to His Father, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me." Clearly, there are two distinct Persons here. Jesus was not cying out to Himself, He was crying out to someone else, and that someone else was none other than the Father. The Father and the Son are not the same… »
OK !
Now, Brother Anthony Watson, will you take on the challenge of answering my following question?
Indeed, Phillip asked a question to Jesus Christ:
Question: “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us”
Our Lord Jesus Christ replied:

We notice that Jesus didn’t reply: Don't you know HIM, Philip…?, but He replied:
DON’T YOU KNOW ME PHILIP…?
ME ! ME! ME ! ME! Amen!

“The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons”.
"...when … the Son, Jesus Christ, was on the earth, he was both God and man..."
GOD and MAN !
I say Amen to that!
Then, Anthony Watson said:
"...Overall, it was Christ's desire to do His Father's will, and not engage His own will. He could have called down legions of angels to save His life, but he didn't do it. This was an exercise of His own free will. He didn't have to do His Father's will, but He chose to do so..."
Brother Anthony, be courageous to answer my following question to you:
If Jesus on Earth was God, was He a small god or THE ALMIGHTY GOD?
What does the Bible say about Jesus?
Let us see:
“awaiting the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ; who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous for good works”.
Titus 2:13-14
Jesus is the Almighty God:
“Behold, he comes with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they which have pierced him, and all the tribes of the land shall wail because of him. Yea. Amen. I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith the Lord God, he who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty”.
Revelation 1:7-8
-the Powerful God, our Heavenly Father (Isaiah 9: 5-6),
-the true God and eternal life (1John 5: 20),
-the eternally blessed God(Romans 9: 5),
-Our great God and our Savior Jesus-Christ (Titus 2: 13),
-Immanuel: God with us (Matthew 1: 23) Alleluia!!!!
-the Alpha and the Omega, the Lord God, Who is, Who was, Who is to come, THE ALMIGHTY(Revelation 1:7-8)
As you see, Jesus has a double nature: divine and human.
If according to the Holy Scriptures Jesus Christ was the Almighty GOD, then wasn’t Jesus right when He told Philip:
“Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? Don't you believe that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me”?
If Jesus and the Father are ONE (John 10:30), then, why do you see TWO PERSONS OR TWO DISTINCT WILLS?
Don’t you know that the will of the Son and that of the Father Who dwelt inside Him were the Same?
Indeed, “Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working."
John 5:17
Don’t you know that the work of the Son and that of the Father Who dwelt inside Him were the Same?
But, how do you explain the following biblical passage?
“Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will."
Matthew 26:39
Who was speaking in Matthew 26:39?
It was THE MAN CHRIST JESUS (1 Timothy 2:5).
On Earth Jesus was both God and man.
THE MAN CHRIST JESUS WAS TALKING TO GOD THE SPIRIT WHO WAS IN HIM.
There are many other examples in the Bible which show the double nature of Jesus: Both GOD and MAN.
As a true Man, Jesus could pray saying :"My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will” (Matthew 26:39).
As a true Man, Jesus could eat, drink, sleep, tire and even weep (John 11: 35).
As a true Man, He died, but as God (Yahweh) He raised Himself up: “Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
John 2: 19
The Almighty God took the form of a Man. And this body of Flesh which He called his Son is the Mediator between Him and the men.
Thus, as a true Man He could feel asleep (Luke 8:23), but as God (Yahweh), Jesus-Christ could walk on the sea (Matthew 14:24-26), rebuke the wind and the raging of the water (Luke 8: 24-25):
“But He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, “Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!”
Luke 8:25
However, Jesus Christ is the Almighty God!
As God (Yahweh), He could rebuke unclean spirits, drive out the demons, heal the sicks: indeed, The Bible declares:
“And as he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the child, and gave him back to his father. And they were all amazed at the majesty of God” (Luke 9:42-43).
Jesus is the Almighty God!
As God (Yahweh) He cold forgive sins:
« And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
Luke 5:21, Luke 7:49
As God (Yahweh), He could open eyes of His Disciples and vanish from their sight
(Luke 24:31).
As God (Yahweh) He is omniscient and omnipresent (Luke 19:29-35; Luke 22:10-13).
As God (Yahweh), Jesus “…had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man.”
John 2:25
“then hear from heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive, and give to everyone according to all his ways, whose heart You know (for You alone know the hearts of the sons of men),”
2 Chronicles 6:30
Jesus is the Almighty God. Amen!
As God (Yahweh) He could enter a house doors of which were shut (without opening the doors) (John 20: 19),
As God (Yahweh), He could appear in the Sky in the form of light and shine around Saul (Acts 9: 1-5),
As God (Yahweh) He escape while passing through the midst of Jews without those being able to capture Him before the indicated time (Luke 4: 29-30).
The living God (Yahweh) in a body of flesh could say:
“Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” (John 8: 58).
« Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God”.
John 5:18
“The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God.”
John 10:33
A Man (Son of God), but making Himself God (God manifested in flesh).
Jesus is the Almighty God! Amen!
If these Jews had the revelation of the real nature of our Lord Jesus-Christ, they would have understood that He was called Son of God as a Man, a body of flesh, but He made Himself God because He is God manifested in the flesh, Immanuel, God with us(Matthew 1:23).
There are not two people here. There are not two or three gods but two attributes of same God (Yahweh) here.
Don’t you believe that “…God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation”???
2 Corinthians 5:19
If you do not believe this, then you are spiritually blind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TRINITY IS NOT SCRIPTURAL, IT’S JUST A DOCTRINE TAUGHT BY DEMONS!!!!
“The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons”.
Brother Trevor asked the following trivial questions:
“…Tell me, who exactly was JESUS talking to when HE prayed in John 17? PLEASE, save me the extra long babble, just simply answer the question.
Also, when Peter said that Ananias told a lie to the HOLY SPIRIT, didn't he say that the HOLY SPIRIT was GOD? A simple yes or no would be good enough here”.
Brother Trevor, the Bible says that:
“For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus”
1Timothy 2:5
Brother, let me tell you that THE MAN CHRIST JESUS WAS TALKING TO GOD THE SPIRIT WHO WAS IN HIM.
Indeed,The Bible teaches that:
”For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on Earth or things in Heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross”.
Colossians 1:19-20
“For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;”
Colossians 2:9
Don’t you believe that “…God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation”???
2 Corinthians 5:19
If you do not believe this, then you are spiritually blind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brother Trevor, let me teach you:
Indeed, the Father is called "God", it 's true!
The Son is called "God", it's true!
The Holy Spirit is called "God", it's true!
It's also true that there aren't THREE GODS, but there is ONE GOD.
If there is ONE God, it means that there is ONE PERSON.
So, FATHER, SON, and HOLY SPIRIT are TITLES of the single God, the unique PERSON, namely Jesus Christ. Amen!
Please, tell me, how can three people be only one God?
Not only, there is no biblical passage which supports this, but that indicates even a gap of reasoning. Three distinct people, although identical in their substance make three gods or the language does not have any more a sense!
The Bible declares that God is our Savior. What does it say also about Jesus?
“awaiting the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ; who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous for good works”.
Titus 2:13-14
Jesus is not a small god beside Yahweh the great God, but Jesus Himself is our great God and Savior. Yahweh, the Savior in the Old Testament is Jesus the Savior in the New Testament Insofar as there are not two gods or two saviors. Amen!
Please, answer this question:
“To whom then will ye liken God? and what likeness will ye compare unto him?
Isaiah 40:18
God is one!!!!
Our great God and Saviour is Jesus Christ!!!
Now, brother Trevor, will you take on the challenge of answering my following questions?
Indeed, Phillip asked a question to Jesus Christ:
Question: “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us”
Our Lord Jesus Christ replied:
Answer: DON’T YOU KNOW ME PHILIP…?
“…Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me?...”
We notice that Jesus didn’t reply: Don't you know HIM, Philip…?, but He replied:
DON’T YOU KNOW ME PHILIP…?
ME ! ME! ME ! ME! Amen!
WHO IS REALLY JESUS ACCORDING TO THE BIBLICAL PASSAGE ABOVE?
Brother Trevor, don’t you see the double nature of Jesus Christ?
As a MAN, He is called SON of God (John 1:14) and the MEDIATOR between God and men
(1Timothy 2:5).
But as a SPIRIT, He is called GOD, the FATHER, since GOD WAS IN HIM!!!!!
Indeed, Jesus said:
“…Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me?...”
ME ! ME! ME ! ME! Amen!
So, FATHER, SON, and HOLY SPIRIT are TITLES of the single God, the unique PERSON, namely Jesus Christ. Amen!
Brother Trevor, let me tell you that in John 17, THE MAN CHRIST JESUS WAS TALKING TO GOD THE SPIRIT WHO WAS IN HIM.
TRINITY IS NOT SCRIPTURAL, IT’S JUST A DOCTRINE TAUGHT BY DEMONS!!!!
“The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons”.
“They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men”.
Mark 7:7
Dear brother Rodrick Sweet, with all due respect, let me tell you that your study above is nothing but A RULE TAUGHT BY MEN !
May God open your eyes!
My beloved Brother, let us read the Holy Scriptures.
Indeed, the Holy Bible (MY ABSOLUTE) declares:
“There is one body and one Spirit-just as you were called to one hope when you were called- one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.”
Ephesians 4:4-6
Brother, the will of God was to pull off the sinful creation from its state of sin (Galatians 3: 13). All those which believe in the doctrines of the trinity lost the revelation of the single God Who was manifested in the Old Testament like the Father, appeared in the Gospels as a Son (Jesus), and appeared in the book of the Acts of the Apostles as the Holy Spirit.
Actually, they are only three dispensations of same God:
1) God above us
2) God with us
3) God in us
“one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all”.
Ephesians 4:5-6
THE SAME PERSON (THE LORD) WHO IS ABOVE ALL IS THE SAME ONE WHO IS THROUGH ALL AND IN ALL. Amen!
It is not a question of two or three people, but one glorious character, marvelously revealed (Hebrews 1: 1-3).
Indeed, the Father and the Son do not constitute two distinct people. The Father is God and the Son is the flesh or the Man in whom God dwelt with a view to achieve the work of redemption (Luke 1:35).
The belief in two or three distinct people in the Divinity is an idolatry, it is polytheism. The Spirit of God was always expressed through the Prophets and the Apostles to reveal the supreme deity of Jesus-Christ and to attest that there is one God.
It is not that there are three gods or three people, but God in three functions. There is only one God with three titles: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Indeed, all the expressions: Faithful Witness, He who is, He who was and He who is to come, First born from the dead, the Rose of Sharon, the Lily of the valley, Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star, Alpha and the Omega, the Almighty, Immanuel, Counsellor, Prince of peace, Savior, Powerful God, the lion of the tribe of Judah, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, are titles and descriptions of the only one God namely our Lord Jesus-Christ:
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name is called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace”.
Isaiah 9:6
DON’T YOU BELIEVE THAT THE SAME PERSON WHO IS CALLED “CHILD” OR “SOIN” IS THE SAME ONE(PERSON) WHO IS CALLED MIGHTY GOD, FATHER OF ETERNITY?
O my Lord, please open Brother Rodrick Sweet’s eyes so that he can see the truth!!!!!
Jesus is the Almighty God:
“Behold, he comes with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they which have pierced him, and all the tribes of the land shall wail because of him. Yea. Amen. I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith the Lord God, he who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty”.
Revelation 1:7-8
Indeed, “Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us."
9Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. 12I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 14You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
Question: “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us”
Answer: DON’T YOU KNOW ME PHILIP…?
We notice that Jesus didn’t reply: Don't you know HIM, Philip…, but He replied:
DON’T YOU KNOW ME PHILIP…?
ME ! ME! ME ! ME! Amen!
WHO IS JESUS?
Jesus Himself said:
“All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him”.
Matthew 11:27
Yes, “no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son”
Do you know the Son? Do you know the Father?
Did the Son reveal you who is really the Father?
Do you see two people?
The Bible declares that He who has seen Jesus has seen the Father:
« And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me”.
John 12:45
Why ?
Simply because Jesus Himself said :
“I and My Father are one.”
John 10:30
Jesus and His Father are not two “Gods” or two “PERSONS” but one God, ONE PERSON.
You need to have a revelation to understand this.
This is the reason why Brother Paul said:
“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh…” (1Timothy 3:16).
Jesus said: « Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me”.
John 14:6
ME ! ME! ME ! ME! Amen!
He didn’t say “no one goes to the Father” but He said “no one comes to the Father”
Do you understand the Holy Scriptures? May God enlighten you so that you can see that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself:
“ that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation”.
2 Corinthians 5:19
This is the reason why the Bible declares:
“No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.
John 1:18
Indeed, Immanuel,God with us (Matthew 1: 23) bore the name of Jesus-Christ and it is by this physical body in which He was incarnated that He offered the sacrifice which erased all our iniquities. He had never sinned, but the punishment which gives us peace fell on Him. It is because the man, in his body of flesh fell into the sin and by that was (condemned) delivered to death, that The Almighty God(YAHWEH), the Redeemer came in the same form in which lives the sin(Hebrews 2:17).
Let us see His promise in the Old Testament:
“Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way; say to those with fearful hearts, "Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you." Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped.Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy. Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert.”
Isaiah 35:3-6
Let us see the fulfilment (achievement) of that promise in the New Testament:
“Then the disciples of John reported to him concerning all these things. And John, calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?”
When the men had come to Him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to You, saying, ‘Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?’” And that very hour He cured many of infirmities, afflictions, and evil spirits; and to many blind He gave sight.
Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things you have seen and heard: that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.”
Luke 7:18-23; Matthew 11:1-5
When John the Baptist Sends Messengers to Jesus in order to ask Him if He were the Coming One, did Jesus answered “Yes”? No, He didn’t.
Jesus simply asked John The Baptist to refer to what the Prophets wrote about Him in The Old Testament. Please read Isaiah 61:1-3 and Luke 4:16-21.
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever”.
Hebrews 13:8
The Savior in the Old Testament (Yahweh) is the same one in the New Testament (Jesus). The Almighty God, our Redeemer made the promise in the old alliance and He came indeed in a body of flesh, bore the name “Jesus-Christ” to achieve the work of redemption in the new alliance.
Up to that point I have not discovered two distinct people yet but there is the same God, the Father who took the attribute of Son in order to achieve the work of redemption(Acts 4:12).
Jesus was without sin (1 Peter 1: 19), but He was made sinned for us, so that we became in Him justice of God (2 Corinthians 5:21).
There is “one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Ephesians 4:5-6
Who is the Father?
Who is the Son?
Who is the Holy Spirit?
They are not three people, but they are three different demonstrations of the single God (Yahweh)!
1-one God and Father of all, who is above all(Yahweh)
2-and through all( the man Jesus: Yahweh manifested in the flesh)
3-and in you all (The Holy Spirit).
THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT REPRESENT ONE PERSON: JESUS CHRIST.
Indeed, Jesus said:
“And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever- the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
“A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you”.
John 14:16-20
Can someone explain the following sentence?
“At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you”.
Jesus Christ is in His Father, and He is in us.
Do you see three people here in each believer?
I see one person. Jesus the man, promised to come back and to live in the believers as the Helper. Jesus is the Helper, the Holy Spirit, living in us. Amen!
This is the reason why Brother Paul said:
“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me”.
Galatians 2:20
Christ as the Holy Spirit lives in the believer. Amen!
Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19)
Our body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
Besides, we must glorify God in our body and in our spirit, which are God’s (1 Corinthians 6:20).
Please tell me, according to the biblical passages above, would our body be inhabited by three distinct people: the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit?
Please, stop cutting out God in small pieces!
The Son lives in the Father. The son lives in us and the Father lives in us. But we are inhabited by one Spirit, the Holy Spirit, Christ, the Almighty God (2 Corinthians 3: 17, Isaiah 63: 10).
Jesus Christ is the Holy Spirit:
“Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty”.
2 Corinthians 3:17
God (Yahweh) is the Holy Spirit:
“But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit; So He turned Himself against them as an enemy, And He fought against them”.
Isaiah 63:10, John 4:24
“But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the HOLY SPIRIT and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to GOD.”
Acts 5:3-4
Ananias has lied to the Holy Spirit. Ananias has lied to God (Yahweh).
God (Yahweh) is the Holy Spirit: Please compare Isaiah 6:8-9 to Acts 28:25-27. Yahweh, the Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers. Amen!
The Bible declares that Mary was found with child of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:18, Luke 1:35).
This Holy Spirit is Yahweh Himself; this is the reason why the Son (the body of flesh, the man Jesus) Who was born took the name “YAHSHUA” which means: “GOD SAVES”. JAHSHUA is God manifested in the flesh in order to save us.
That Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Christ (Galatians 4:6, Acts 16:7, Philippians 1:19).
That Spirit of Christ was in the Prophets of the Old Testament testifying beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow:
“ Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you, searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven - things which angels desire to look into”.
1 Peter 1:10-12
THE MAN JESUS IS COMPARABLE TO THE BRONZE SERPENT LIFTED IN THE WILDERNESS
The Father is God (1Corinthians 15: 24). The Father is not the Son when we refer only to the physical body in which God has been incarnated: the man Jesus. God took a body of flesh (1Timothy 3: 16). This body of flesh called Jesus was a man (hundred percent). God took a body of flesh so that He could suffer and die in order to save us (Isaiah 35: 4, Philippians 2: 5-8; Hebrews 2:9, 17; 12:2).
For this reason and for this reason only, any believer must confess that Jesus is the engendered Son of God by the Holy Spirit. It is here about the man Jesus (1Timothy 2: 5). Coming from God, His blood, His thoughts, and all His life were perfectly holy and without sin. The death and the devil did not have any power, any authority on Him. This body of flesh is comparable to the bronze serpent in the desert:
“And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life”.
John 3:14-15
Jesus, the son of Man was comparable to the serpent made by Moses. That serpent was an insignificant stuff, without life. But God put His life, His healing power in it. It was lifted up by Moses.
O Hallelujah! God, the source of the life was in this apparently trivial and inanimate bronze serpent. The Bible declares that: “So Moses made a bronze serpent, and put it on a pole; and so it was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived” (Numbers 21: 9).
In the same way, Jesus was a Man (hundred percent) created by God Himself (called Son of God), in which He put his own life in order to save us:
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life”.
John 3:16
“And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life”.
John 3:14-15
Do you understand now why the Holy Scriptures compare the Man Jesus to the bronze serpent?
“For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus”
1Timothy 2:5
Do you understand the Holy Scriptures? The Man Jesus, the Mediator between God and men is really God manifested in flesh.
There are not two or three people, but there is one God.
Indeed, Jesus said:
“I and My Father are one.”
John 10:30
“Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves”
John 14:9-11
“And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me”.
John 12:45
“No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him”.
John 1:18
“All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him”.
Matthew 11:27
Consequently, the Father is the Son or the Son is the Father if we refer only to Jesus-Christ as the Holy Spirit.
Indeed, to overcome death and the devil, it was absolutely necessary that He was divine (hundred percent).
The Bible teaches that:
”For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on Earth or things in Heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross”.
Colossians 1:19-20
“For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;”
Colossians 2:9
It is for this reason that any believer must confess that Jesus-Christ is God (Yahweh). He is not a small god, who might be the second person of the trinity. He is not a small god beside Yahweh, but:
-the Powerful God, our Heavenly Father (Isaiah 9: 5-6),
-the true God and eternal life (1John 5: 20),
-the eternally blessed God(Romans 9: 5),
-Our great God and our Savior Jesus-Christ (Titus 2: 13),
-Immanuel: God with us (Matthew 1: 23) Alleluia!!!!
-the Alpha and the Omega, the Lord God, Who is, Who was, Who is to come, THE ALMIGHTY(Revelation 1:7-8)
As you see, Jesus has a double nature: divine and human:
« What if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before!”
John 6:62
Before, He was God (Yahweh). He became flesh, Son of Man in order to save us. He ascended where He was before. Then, He appeared to Saul on the Damascus road:
"And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”
Acts 9:5
In Heaven, there is Jesus alone. There aren’t two “Gods” (the Father and His son) sitting side by side on the throne. No!
JESUS (JAHSHUA) IS THE NAME OF GOD (YAHWEH) WHO SAVES US
“And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS”.
"The Trinity means the union of three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in one (unified) Godhead or divinity, so that all three persons are one in unity and eternal substance, but three separate and distinct Persons as to individuality..."
HERESY!!!!
Brother Trevor also said:
“…Such an authority makes the Apostle equal to a king and a lord of lands, and makes the one who sent him "King of kings and LORD of lords". JESUS is such, for He has sent out His Apostles and rules us who He made kings and priests. However JESUS Himself was sent, and submitted to One greater than He. This One would be the FATHER Himself… »
HERESY!!!!
Brother Trevor,
Brother Anthony Waston,
Brother Rodrick Sweet,
Please, refute my following message line by line, instead of being so talkative!
Indeed, the Bible declares:
“yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.”
1 Corinthians 8:6
Do you see two creators or two different people here?
The single God, the Father, is the Lord Jesus-Christ by Whom are all things. Amen!
Indeed, all the believers must confess that Jesus is the Son of God (John 3:16, 5:17-18; Matthew 26:63-64, 16:16; 3:17; 1 John 4:15).
But, in this precise case we refer only to THE MAN CHRIST JESUS:
“For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,”
1 Timothy 2:5
As a true Man, Jesus could eat, drink, sleep, tire and even weep (John 11: 35).
As a true Man, He died, but as God (Yahweh) He raised Himself up: “Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
John 2: 19
The Almighty God took the form of a Man. And this body of Flesh which He called his Son is the Mediator between Him and the men.
Thus, as a true Man He could feel asleep (Luke 8:23), but as God (Yahweh), Jesus-Christ could walk on the sea (Matthew 14:24-26), rebuke the wind and the raging of the water (Luke 8: 24-25):
“But He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, “Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!”
Luke 8:25
Jesus Christ is the Almighty God!
As God (Yahweh), He could rebuke unclean spirits, drive out the demons, heal the sicks: indeed, The Bible declares:
“And as he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the child, and gave him back to his father. And they were all amazed at the majesty of God” (Luke 9:42-43).
Jesus is the Almighty God!
As God (Yahweh) He cold forgive sins:
« And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
Luke 5:21, Luke 7:49
As God (Yahweh), He could open eyes of His Disciples and vanish from their sight
(Luke 24:31).
As God (Yahweh) He is omniscient and omnipresent (Luke 19:29-35; Luke 22:10-13).
As God (Yahweh), Jesus “…had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man.”
John 2:25
“then hear from heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive, and give to everyone according to all his ways, whose heart You know (for You alone know the hearts of the sons of men),”
2 Chronicles 6:30
Jesus is the Almighty God. Amen!
As God (Yahweh) He could enter a house doors of which were shut (without opening the doors) (John 20: 19),
As God (Yahweh), He could appear in the Sky in the form of light and shine around Saul (Acts 9: 1-5),
As God (Yahweh) He escape while passing through the midst of Jews without those being able to capture Him before the indicated time (Luke 4: 29-30).
The living God (Yahweh) in a body of flesh could say:
“Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” (John 8: 58).
« Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God”.
John 5:18
“The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God.”
John 10:33
A Man (Son of God), but making Himself God (God manifested in flesh).
Jesus is the Almighty God! Amen!
If these Jews had the revelation of the real nature of our Lord Jesus-Christ, they would have understood that He was called Son of God as a Man, a body of flesh, but He made Himself God because He is God manifested in the flesh, Immanuel, God with us(Matthew 1:23).
There are not two people here. There are not two or three gods but two attributes of same God (Yahweh) here.
Paul received the revelation about the real nature of Jesus-Christ. This is why he said:
“looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,”
Titus 2:13
Thomas also understood that and said to Jesus Christ: “My Lord and my God!” (John 20: 28).
“Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
(John 20:29)
O Blessed are you if you believe that Jesus is the Almighty God. Amen!
Brother Peter said:
« that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him”.
Acts 10:37-38
Moreover, it is written:
« You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.”
Hebrews 1:9
« God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit”, “God was with Him”, “Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You”.
All these phrases above do not mean that there are two Gods. God who is spirit was in the man Jesus-Christ, reconciling the world to Himself (2 Corinthians 5:19).
Indeed, God is one. The Bible is monotheist(Isaiah 45:5;18). All those who believe that there are two Gods are polytheists.
Jesus is not a small god beside the great God Yahweh, but He is God manifested in the flesh. In Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily” (Colossians 2:8-9).
Amen!
God of the Old Testament is Jesus-Christ of the New Testament. Didn’t Isaiah prophesy about the divinity of Jesus? Let us see it!
« For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace”.
Isaiah 9:6
Don't you believe that the Son is the same one who is called Our Heavenly Father? Do you see two distinct people here? It is the same person who has the attributes of Father, Son, Mighty God, Counselor, Wonderful, Holy Spirit etc.
“And the Angel of the LORD said to him, “Why do you ask My name, seeing it is wonderful?”
Judges 13:18
His name is Jesus-Christ, the Almighty God who attested in front of the Jews that Moses had written of Him:
« For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?” (John 5: 46 - 47).
Consequently, when suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
(Matthew 3: 17), that does not mean that God and the Man Jesus are two distinct people separate from one another.
Indeed, Jesus said:
« Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves”. (John 14: 11). In Jesus dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
However, it is not because God was fully in Jesus-Christ that He could not act any more everywhere.
Indeed, Our Lord fills Heaven and Earth (Jeremiah 23: 24; Isaiah 66: 1; Psalm 139: 7-10).
Moreover, Heaven and the Heaven of Heavens cannot contain God (2 Chronicles 6: 18).
God is omnipresent! Being on the Earth, He spoke from the Heaven:
“You came down also on Mount Sinai, And spoke with them from heaven, And gave them just ordinances and true laws, Good statutes and commandments” (Nehemiah 9: 13).
Moreover, Jesus at the right hand of God does not mean that God and Jesus are two distinct people sat one beside the other(side by side) on a throne in the Heaven, both remaining there for eternity and eternity (Acts 2: 33, 7: 56; Matthew 26: 64; Psalm 110: 1; Hebrews 12: 2).
This wiew is ridiculous and non scriptural. The right hand is a symbolic term which means “CAPACITY AND AUTHORITY”.
Jesus said that All authority has been given to Him in Heaven and on Earth (Matthew 28: 18).
Indeed, when God (Yahweh) became a Man (in Jesus) He achieves all His powerful works thanks to the capacity and the authority of this Man, Jesus (1 Timothy 2: 5).
All authority has been given to Him in Heaven and on Earth.
Consequently, Jesus at the right hand of God means that he is the power of God:
This is the reason why Brother Paul said:
« but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God” (1Corinthians 1: 23-24).
Let us see some examples of the symbolic use of the the phrase: “Right hand”
- « Indeed My hand has laid the foundation of the earth, And My right hand has stretched out the heavens; When I call to them, They stand up together”.
Isaiah 48:13
- “I have set the LORD always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved”.
Psalm 16:8
-“For He shall stand at the right hand of the poor, To save him from those who condemn him”.
Psalm 109:31
- “If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me”.
Psalm 139:9-10
- “My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me”.
Psalm 63:8
- “For David says concerning Him: I foresaw the LORD always before my face, For He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken”.
Acts 2:25
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the Heaven, on the Throne, there are not two or three people seated side by side. There is only one person sitting on the Throne. He is Jesus-Christ, the true God and eternal Life (1John 5: 20).

Happy New Year .
Have a productive day
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
One night ( in the year 2007), after reading the Book of Esther, I've been very touched by the story of this book and I made this vow to the Lord: If you provide me a godly woman and give me sons and daughters, my first son will be called Moredecai and my first daughter will be called Esther. I made a vow to the Lord and My wife gave birth to my first son in 2009. I called him "Mordecai" a name found in the Book of Esther 2:19(Holy Bible).
And last Wednesday ( January 4th 2012) my wife gave birth to Esther at 15 h 15 P.m. by caesarian. It was trying, difficult, but Jesus-Christ helped me and granted my wish.
What a awesome Lord!
Praise, glory be to the Lord!
With every blessing for the New Year.

“Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king”.
Daniel 3:16-17
O my Lord Jesus, do something right now!
Please rescue your Son from their hands!
For you are the same yesturday and today and forever(Hebrews 13:8) Amen!!!!!
THANKS FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR YOUR TWO DAUGHTERS IN 2009.

THANK YOU LORD!
Bro. Germain
"...BUT JUST LIKE GOD CAN TAKE WHAT IS MEANT TO BE EVIL AND TURN IT INTO GOOD, CHRISTIANS CAN DO THE SAME BY CELEBRATING THIS SEASON WITH OUR FOCUS ON JESUS, HIS MIRACULOUS BIRTH, THE PURPOSE OF HIS BIRTH AND EARTHLY MINISTRY..."
Sister, can you show me in the Holy Scriptures where GOD TOOK WHAT IS MEANT TO BE EVIL,NAMELY THE CHRISTMAS AND TURNED IT INTO GOOD?
Scriptures references please!
If you can't find a biblical verse which can support your assertion above, then stop teaching lies, falshood, traditions and HERESIES!
Dear sister, I do respect your faith.
I do not have the right to condemn those who keep on celebrating Christmas.
Indeed, when I was a boy, I did the same thing by ignorance.
Now, I'm mature and by revelation I realize that Christmas is paganism.
Now, it is a duty for me to teach you the truth. Woe to me if I do not do it!!!
Dear sister, please, Do not go beyond what is written. Please, do not do that!
Remember, Brother Paul said:
"Now, brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, "Do not go beyond what is written." Then you will not take pride in one man over against another".
1 Corinthians 4:6
Blessings,
Bro. Germain
I thank you for your message above,
BUT, please answer all my questions above!
Blessings,
Bro. Germain
I am truly rejoicing with you my brother. Another, for the Kingdom! HalleluYah!
Indeed, Jesus said:
"13This is why I speak to them in parables:
"Though seeing, they do not see;
though hearing, they do not hear or understand. 14In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:
" 'You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
15For this people's heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.'[a]"
Brother, you put the stress on the word "ANOTHER" simply because you are spiritually blind. I must pray for you so that our Lord can open yours eyes, since your heart has become calloused; you hardly hear with your ears, and you have closed your eyes...
Brother Anthony Watson, how could the Holy Spirit be ANOTHER Person, different from Jesus While Jesus has said: "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you..." ?
In which form will Jesus come to us after He rose up?
Jesus said again:
"Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."
Brother Anthony Watson, please tell me, In which form will Jesus be with two or three who come together in His name, after He rose up?
Indeed, Brother Paul has said:
“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me”.
Galatians 2:20
Brother Anthony Watson, please, tell me, Isn’t the Holy Spirit, Christ living in Brother Paul yesterday and in each believer today?
Don’t you know that “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever”?
Hebrews 13:8
O my Lord, please open the eyes of the Trinitarians because They are misled!!!!!!
Truly speaking, the word “ANOTHER” was written expressly to confound the wise and learned (Matthew 11:25).
Truly speaking, the word “ANOTHER” was written expressly to confound the blind men(Matthew 13:13-15).
Indeed, Jesus said:
“And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[a] in you. 18I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
John 14:16-18
Indeed, Jesus has said: "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you"
"...I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor…."
Here, we see that the FATHER is the One who will give us another Counselor…
But it is also written:
"When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me”.
John 15:26
Here, we notice that JESUS is the One who will give us another Counselor…
Brother Anthony Watson, do you see TWO PERSONS (THE FATHER and JESUS) Who would be the senders of the same Counselor?
Besides, Jesus said:
“ The Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[a] in you. 18I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you…”
Brother Anthony Watson, according to Galatians 2:20, 1 Corinthians 6:12 and Romans 8: 9-11, isn’t Jesus the same Counsolor, the same Holy Spirit He promised He would be in us?
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."
Revelation 3:22
Blessings,
Bro. Germain
"...You may not admit it Germain, but you are learning from me, and I know that I am helping you..."
Is it possible for a SPIRITUALLY BLIND man to lead someone who is led by the Holy Spirit? I wonder!
Brother, your assertion and your false teachings above make me laugh. Please, do not make me fall in the pit!
Now, Brother Anthony Watson, since you assert that I'm learning from you, then will you take on the challenge of answering AT LAST my following questions?
Indeed, Phillip asked a question to Jesus Christ:
Question: “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us”
Our Lord Jesus Christ replied:
Answer: DON’T YOU KNOW ME PHILIP…?
Besides, Jesus said:
“If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."
John 14:7
“…Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me?...”
We notice that Jesus didn’t reply: Don't you know HIM, Philip…?, but He replied:
DON’T YOU KNOW ME PHILIP…?
ME ! ME! ME ! ME! Amen!
WHO IS REALLY THE FATHER ACCORDING TO THE BIBLICAL PASSAGE ABOVE?
AREN’T JESUS AND THE FATHER THE SAME ACCORDING TO THE BIBLICAL PASSAGE ABOVE?
WAS JESUS SPEAKING ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE TO PHILIP?
When Jesus said:
“If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."
John 14:7
What did He mean?
Dear "Trinity" teacher Anthony Watson, I'm waiting for your insightful answer.
Bessings,
Bro. Germain
“…Lets do this Germain. This is a dialogue between a Trinitarian and a Oneness Pentecostal. Come on Germain, the BPN fans have bought their tickets, and you are a no-show!”
Brother, first of all, let me tell you that I’m a non denominational Christian.
Did, the BPN fans have bought their tickets?
OK!
So let them wait and see!
Is my back now up against a wall?
Brother Anthony Watson, time has come for me to show you that you don’t even know your A B C D in the knowledge of the Holy Scriptures.
Indeed, you challenged me to respond to points 8, 9, and 12 of your post above!
Indeed, you've said:
"...(8) Jesus said that the Father was "greater than all" and "greater than I" (PROOF: John 10:29; 14:28). Jesus then could NOT be the Father. Paul also stated that the Father was the "head of Christ" (PROOF: Colossians 3:23; 11:3). This cannot be refuted..."
"...(9) God the Father is called "he" (PROOF: John 14:16); God the Son is called "he" (PROOF: John 8:23-25). and God the Holy Spirit is called "he" and "another" (PROOF: John 14:16-17, 26; 15:26; 16:7-15), so if personal pronouns are used of each Person in making a distinction between them as is done with other persons, there must be three separate Persons.
Germain, how can this be the "things taught by demons"? This is the Word of God, and it cannot be refuted!..."
"...(12) Many statements were made concerning the Father that could not have been true to Jesus: the Father was in Heaven while Jesus was on Earth (PROOF: Matthew 5:1, 48); the Father knew things that Jesus did not know (PROOF: Matthew 10:29-31; Mark 13:32; Acts 1:7; Revelation 1:1); the Father was "good," but Jesus did not claim any such quality in Himself (PROOF: Matthew 19:17); the Father was on a throne, and Jesus was not (PROOF: Matthew 23:22); Jesus is coming in the glory of the Father and not in His own glory (PROOF: Matthew 16:27). There is no way that you can refute any of this..."
Brother Anthony Watson,
1* Jesus has said that: the Father was "greater than all" and "greater than I".
It’s true, it is so said the Bible! Amen!
2* Paul also stated that the Father was the "head of Christ.
It’s true, it is so said the Bible! Amen!
3* God the Father is called "he". The Son is called "he" The Holy Spirit is called "he" and "another”…
It’s true, it is so said the Bible! Amen!
The Father knew things that Jesus did not know (Mark 13:32)
It’s true, it is so said the Bible! Amen!
Etc.
Brother Anthony Watson, although all these statements can be found in the Bible, you will never seize their meaning unless you receive a revelation from God(Matthew 11:25).
Your intellectual understanding of the Bible can never enable you to seize the very meaning of those statements! Never!
Indeed, Jesus Christ has said:
" 11He replied, "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. 12Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. 13This is why I speak to them in parables:
"Though seeing, they do not see;
though hearing, they do not hear or understand. 14In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:
" 'You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
15For this people's heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.'[a]"
Matthew 13:11-15
Brother, Anthony Watson, the statements listed above are parables and you can seize their meaning only by revelation.
Brother, this is what I see by revelation:
FATHER, SON and HOLY SPIRIT are TITLES of the Single God (God is one) or the single PERSON, namely JESUS CHRIST.
Indeed, Jesus said:
“If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."
John 14:7
For instance, let me ask you a specific question.
Jesus said:
“And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[a] in you. 18I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
John 14:16-18
"...I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor…."
Here, we see that the FATHER is the One who will give us another Counselor…
But it is also written:
"When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me”.
John 15:26
Here, we notice that JESUS is the One who will give us another Counselor…
Brother Anthony Watson, do you see TWO PERSONS (THE FATHER and JESUS) Who would be the senders of the same Counselor?
Besides, Jesus said:
“ The Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[a] in you. 18I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you…”
Brother Anthony Watson, according to Galatians 2:20, 1 Corinthians 6:12 and Romans 8: 9-11, isn’t Jesus the same Counsolor, the same Holy Spirit He promised He would be in us?
Please, answer my questions above so that we can go to the second step of our studies for I do have many other specific questions to ask you!!!!!!!!!!!
The BPN fans and I are waiting for your reply!
Blessings,
Bro. Germain
“The problem with you, Germain, is that you have an unteachable spirit, you are uneducated, you don't know English grammar, you don't know, and don't want to learn, Biblical Hebrew and Koine Greek, you don't know how to write well, which is why you cut & paste everything, you don't have a good command of the Bible, and you always fail to respond to challenges that destroy your erroneous arguments…”
Brother Anthony Watson, with all due respect, let me tell you that you sound like the accuser of our brothers who accuses them before our God day and night (Revelation 12:10), don’t you?
YOUR ACCUSATIONS ABOVE ARE FALSE!
Certainly, my English is not excellent enough, but I'm pretty sure that you understand whatever I tell you even if the words don’t sometimes fit together.
Besides, ENGLISH is not my mother tongue. I live in a French speaking country.
So, if your FRENCH is as good as mine, then let us continue the discussion into French, maybe you will understand me more!
Anyway, as Brother Paul said, I’d like to tell you also that “My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power”.
1 Corinthians 2:1-5
Amen!!!!!!
Indeed, I’ve already responded to the twelve points in your post.
Please take time to read my post above and you will find the ANSWER of each point of your post, even though it has not been done line by line.
Now, my Brother Anthony Watson, the conclusion in that matter everything being heard is that, you must take on the challenge of answering my following question:
PLEASE, DO NOT AVOID MY QUESTION BELOW:
Indeed, Phillip asked a question to Jesus Christ:
Question: “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us”
Our Lord Jesus Christ replied:
Answer: DON’T YOU KNOW ME PHILIP…?
“…Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me?...”
We notice that Jesus didn’t reply: Don't you know HIM, Philip…?, but He replied:
DON’T YOU KNOW ME PHILIP…?
ME ! ME! ME ! ME! Amen!
WHO IS REALLY THE FATHER ACCORDING TO THE BIBLICAL PASSAGE ABOVE?
AREN’T JESUS AND THE FATHER THE SAME ACCORDING TO THE BIBLICAL PASSAGE ABOVE?
WAS JESUS SPEAKING ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE TO PHILIP?
Enough is enough!!!!!!!
I’m waiting for your answer, spiritually blind men!
Don’t you believe that “…God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation”???
2 Corinthians 5:19
If you do not believe this, then you are spiritually blind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TRINITY IS NOT SCRIPTURAL, IT’S JUST A DOCTRINE TAUGHT BY DEMONS!!!!
“The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons”.
1Timothy 4:1
Blessings,
Brother Germain
“…when Jesus was dying on the Cross, he cried out to His Father, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me." Clearly, there are two distinct Persons here. Jesus was not cying out to Himself, He was crying out to someone else, and that someone else was none other than the Father. The Father and the Son are not the same… »
OK !
Now, Brother Anthony Watson, will you take on the challenge of answering my following question?
Indeed, Phillip asked a question to Jesus Christ:
Question: “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us”
Our Lord Jesus Christ replied:
Answer: DON’T YOU KNOW ME PHILIP…?

1Timothy 4:1
Blessings,
Brother Germain
"...when … the Son, Jesus Christ, was on the earth, he was both God and man..."
GOD and MAN !
I say Amen to that!
Then, Anthony Watson said:
"...Overall, it was Christ's desire to do His Father's will, and not engage His own will. He could have called down legions of angels to save His life, but he didn't do it. This was an exercise of His own free will. He didn't have to do His Father's will, but He chose to do so..."
Brother Anthony, be courageous to answer my following question to you:
If Jesus on Earth was God, was He a small god or THE ALMIGHTY GOD?
What does the Bible say about Jesus?
Let us see:
“awaiting the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ; who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous for good works”.
Titus 2:13-14
Jesus is the Almighty God:
“Behold, he comes with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they which have pierced him, and all the tribes of the land shall wail because of him. Yea. Amen. I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith the Lord God, he who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty”.
Revelation 1:7-8
-the Powerful God, our Heavenly Father (Isaiah 9: 5-6),
-the true God and eternal life (1John 5: 20),
-the eternally blessed God(Romans 9: 5),
-Our great God and our Savior Jesus-Christ (Titus 2: 13),
-Immanuel: God with us (Matthew 1: 23) Alleluia!!!!
-the Alpha and the Omega, the Lord God, Who is, Who was, Who is to come, THE ALMIGHTY(Revelation 1:7-8)
As you see, Jesus has a double nature: divine and human.
If according to the Holy Scriptures Jesus Christ was the Almighty GOD, then wasn’t Jesus right when He told Philip:
“Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? Don't you believe that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me”?
If Jesus and the Father are ONE (John 10:30), then, why do you see TWO PERSONS OR TWO DISTINCT WILLS?
Don’t you know that the will of the Son and that of the Father Who dwelt inside Him were the Same?
Indeed, “Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working."
John 5:17
Don’t you know that the work of the Son and that of the Father Who dwelt inside Him were the Same?
But, how do you explain the following biblical passage?
“Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will."
Matthew 26:39
Who was speaking in Matthew 26:39?
It was THE MAN CHRIST JESUS (1 Timothy 2:5).
On Earth Jesus was both God and man.
THE MAN CHRIST JESUS WAS TALKING TO GOD THE SPIRIT WHO WAS IN HIM.
There are many other examples in the Bible which show the double nature of Jesus: Both GOD and MAN.
As a true Man, Jesus could pray saying :"My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will” (Matthew 26:39).
As a true Man, Jesus could eat, drink, sleep, tire and even weep (John 11: 35).
As a true Man, He died, but as God (Yahweh) He raised Himself up: “Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
John 2: 19
The Almighty God took the form of a Man. And this body of Flesh which He called his Son is the Mediator between Him and the men.
Thus, as a true Man He could feel asleep (Luke 8:23), but as God (Yahweh), Jesus-Christ could walk on the sea (Matthew 14:24-26), rebuke the wind and the raging of the water (Luke 8: 24-25):
“But He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, “Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!”
Luke 8:25
However, Jesus Christ is the Almighty God!
As God (Yahweh), He could rebuke unclean spirits, drive out the demons, heal the sicks: indeed, The Bible declares:
“And as he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the child, and gave him back to his father. And they were all amazed at the majesty of God” (Luke 9:42-43).
Jesus is the Almighty God!
As God (Yahweh) He cold forgive sins:
« And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
Luke 5:21, Luke 7:49
As God (Yahweh), He could open eyes of His Disciples and vanish from their sight
(Luke 24:31).
As God (Yahweh) He is omniscient and omnipresent (Luke 19:29-35; Luke 22:10-13).
As God (Yahweh), Jesus “…had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man.”
John 2:25
“then hear from heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive, and give to everyone according to all his ways, whose heart You know (for You alone know the hearts of the sons of men),”
2 Chronicles 6:30
Jesus is the Almighty God. Amen!
As God (Yahweh) He could enter a house doors of which were shut (without opening the doors) (John 20: 19),
As God (Yahweh), He could appear in the Sky in the form of light and shine around Saul (Acts 9: 1-5),
As God (Yahweh) He escape while passing through the midst of Jews without those being able to capture Him before the indicated time (Luke 4: 29-30).
The living God (Yahweh) in a body of flesh could say:
“Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” (John 8: 58).
« Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God”.
John 5:18
“The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God.”
John 10:33
A Man (Son of God), but making Himself God (God manifested in flesh).
Jesus is the Almighty God! Amen!
If these Jews had the revelation of the real nature of our Lord Jesus-Christ, they would have understood that He was called Son of God as a Man, a body of flesh, but He made Himself God because He is God manifested in the flesh, Immanuel, God with us(Matthew 1:23).
There are not two people here. There are not two or three gods but two attributes of same God (Yahweh) here.
Don’t you believe that “…God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation”???
2 Corinthians 5:19
If you do not believe this, then you are spiritually blind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TRINITY IS NOT SCRIPTURAL, IT’S JUST A DOCTRINE TAUGHT BY DEMONS!!!!
“The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons”.
1Timothy 4:1
Blessings,
Brother Germain
“…Tell me, who exactly was JESUS talking to when HE prayed in John 17? PLEASE, save me the extra long babble, just simply answer the question.
Also, when Peter said that Ananias told a lie to the HOLY SPIRIT, didn't he say that the HOLY SPIRIT was GOD? A simple yes or no would be good enough here”.
Brother Trevor, the Bible says that:
“For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus”
1Timothy 2:5
Brother, let me tell you that THE MAN CHRIST JESUS WAS TALKING TO GOD THE SPIRIT WHO WAS IN HIM.
Indeed,The Bible teaches that:
”For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on Earth or things in Heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross”.
Colossians 1:19-20
“For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;”
Colossians 2:9
Don’t you believe that “…God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation”???
2 Corinthians 5:19
If you do not believe this, then you are spiritually blind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brother Trevor, let me teach you:
Indeed, the Father is called "God", it 's true!
The Son is called "God", it's true!
The Holy Spirit is called "God", it's true!
It's also true that there aren't THREE GODS, but there is ONE GOD.
If there is ONE God, it means that there is ONE PERSON.
So, FATHER, SON, and HOLY SPIRIT are TITLES of the single God, the unique PERSON, namely Jesus Christ. Amen!
Please, tell me, how can three people be only one God?
Not only, there is no biblical passage which supports this, but that indicates even a gap of reasoning. Three distinct people, although identical in their substance make three gods or the language does not have any more a sense!
The Bible declares that God is our Savior. What does it say also about Jesus?
“awaiting the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ; who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous for good works”.
Titus 2:13-14
Jesus is not a small god beside Yahweh the great God, but Jesus Himself is our great God and Savior. Yahweh, the Savior in the Old Testament is Jesus the Savior in the New Testament Insofar as there are not two gods or two saviors. Amen!
Please, answer this question:
“To whom then will ye liken God? and what likeness will ye compare unto him?
Isaiah 40:18
God is one!!!!
Our great God and Saviour is Jesus Christ!!!
Now, brother Trevor, will you take on the challenge of answering my following questions?
Indeed, Phillip asked a question to Jesus Christ:
Question: “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us”
Our Lord Jesus Christ replied:
Answer: DON’T YOU KNOW ME PHILIP…?
“…Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me?...”
We notice that Jesus didn’t reply: Don't you know HIM, Philip…?, but He replied:
DON’T YOU KNOW ME PHILIP…?
ME ! ME! ME ! ME! Amen!
WHO IS REALLY JESUS ACCORDING TO THE BIBLICAL PASSAGE ABOVE?
Brother Trevor, don’t you see the double nature of Jesus Christ?
As a MAN, He is called SON of God (John 1:14) and the MEDIATOR between God and men
(1Timothy 2:5).
But as a SPIRIT, He is called GOD, the FATHER, since GOD WAS IN HIM!!!!!
Indeed, Jesus said:
“…Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me?...”
ME ! ME! ME ! ME! Amen!
So, FATHER, SON, and HOLY SPIRIT are TITLES of the single God, the unique PERSON, namely Jesus Christ. Amen!
Brother Trevor, let me tell you that in John 17, THE MAN CHRIST JESUS WAS TALKING TO GOD THE SPIRIT WHO WAS IN HIM.
TRINITY IS NOT SCRIPTURAL, IT’S JUST A DOCTRINE TAUGHT BY DEMONS!!!!
“The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons”.
1Timothy 4:1
Blessings,
Brother Germain
Remember, our Lord Jesus Christ has said:
“They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men”.
Mark 7:7
Dear brother Rodrick Sweet, with all due respect, let me tell you that your study above is nothing but A RULE TAUGHT BY MEN !
May God open your eyes!
My beloved Brother, let us read the Holy Scriptures.
Indeed, the Holy Bible (MY ABSOLUTE) declares:
“There is one body and one Spirit-just as you were called to one hope when you were called- one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.”
Ephesians 4:4-6
Brother, the will of God was to pull off the sinful creation from its state of sin (Galatians 3: 13). All those which believe in the doctrines of the trinity lost the revelation of the single God Who was manifested in the Old Testament like the Father, appeared in the Gospels as a Son (Jesus), and appeared in the book of the Acts of the Apostles as the Holy Spirit.
Actually, they are only three dispensations of same God:
1) God above us
2) God with us
3) God in us
“one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all”.
Ephesians 4:5-6
THE SAME PERSON (THE LORD) WHO IS ABOVE ALL IS THE SAME ONE WHO IS THROUGH ALL AND IN ALL. Amen!
It is not a question of two or three people, but one glorious character, marvelously revealed (Hebrews 1: 1-3).
Indeed, the Father and the Son do not constitute two distinct people. The Father is God and the Son is the flesh or the Man in whom God dwelt with a view to achieve the work of redemption (Luke 1:35).
The belief in two or three distinct people in the Divinity is an idolatry, it is polytheism. The Spirit of God was always expressed through the Prophets and the Apostles to reveal the supreme deity of Jesus-Christ and to attest that there is one God.
It is not that there are three gods or three people, but God in three functions. There is only one God with three titles: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Indeed, all the expressions: Faithful Witness, He who is, He who was and He who is to come, First born from the dead, the Rose of Sharon, the Lily of the valley, Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star, Alpha and the Omega, the Almighty, Immanuel, Counsellor, Prince of peace, Savior, Powerful God, the lion of the tribe of Judah, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, are titles and descriptions of the only one God namely our Lord Jesus-Christ:
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name is called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace”.
Isaiah 9:6
DON’T YOU BELIEVE THAT THE SAME PERSON WHO IS CALLED “CHILD” OR “SOIN” IS THE SAME ONE(PERSON) WHO IS CALLED MIGHTY GOD, FATHER OF ETERNITY?
O my Lord, please open Brother Rodrick Sweet’s eyes so that he can see the truth!!!!!
Jesus is the Almighty God:
“Behold, he comes with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they which have pierced him, and all the tribes of the land shall wail because of him. Yea. Amen. I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith the Lord God, he who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty”.
Revelation 1:7-8
Indeed, “Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us."
9Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. 12I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 14You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
Question: “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us”
Answer: DON’T YOU KNOW ME PHILIP…?
We notice that Jesus didn’t reply: Don't you know HIM, Philip…, but He replied:
DON’T YOU KNOW ME PHILIP…?
ME ! ME! ME ! ME! Amen!
WHO IS JESUS?
Jesus Himself said:
“All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him”.
Matthew 11:27
Yes, “no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son”
Do you know the Son? Do you know the Father?
Did the Son reveal you who is really the Father?
Do you see two people?
The Bible declares that He who has seen Jesus has seen the Father:
« And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me”.
John 12:45
Why ?
Simply because Jesus Himself said :
“I and My Father are one.”
John 10:30
Jesus and His Father are not two “Gods” or two “PERSONS” but one God, ONE PERSON.
You need to have a revelation to understand this.
This is the reason why Brother Paul said:
“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh…” (1Timothy 3:16).
Jesus said: « Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me”.
John 14:6
ME ! ME! ME ! ME! Amen!
He didn’t say “no one goes to the Father” but He said “no one comes to the Father”
Do you understand the Holy Scriptures? May God enlighten you so that you can see that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself:
“ that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation”.
2 Corinthians 5:19
This is the reason why the Bible declares:
“No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.
John 1:18
Indeed, Immanuel,God with us (Matthew 1: 23) bore the name of Jesus-Christ and it is by this physical body in which He was incarnated that He offered the sacrifice which erased all our iniquities. He had never sinned, but the punishment which gives us peace fell on Him. It is because the man, in his body of flesh fell into the sin and by that was (condemned) delivered to death, that The Almighty God(YAHWEH), the Redeemer came in the same form in which lives the sin(Hebrews 2:17).
Let us see His promise in the Old Testament:
“Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way; say to those with fearful hearts, "Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you." Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped.Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy. Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert.”
Isaiah 35:3-6
Let us see the fulfilment (achievement) of that promise in the New Testament:
“Then the disciples of John reported to him concerning all these things. And John, calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?”
When the men had come to Him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to You, saying, ‘Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?’” And that very hour He cured many of infirmities, afflictions, and evil spirits; and to many blind He gave sight.
Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things you have seen and heard: that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.”
Luke 7:18-23; Matthew 11:1-5
When John the Baptist Sends Messengers to Jesus in order to ask Him if He were the Coming One, did Jesus answered “Yes”? No, He didn’t.
Jesus simply asked John The Baptist to refer to what the Prophets wrote about Him in The Old Testament. Please read Isaiah 61:1-3 and Luke 4:16-21.
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever”.
Hebrews 13:8
The Savior in the Old Testament (Yahweh) is the same one in the New Testament (Jesus). The Almighty God, our Redeemer made the promise in the old alliance and He came indeed in a body of flesh, bore the name “Jesus-Christ” to achieve the work of redemption in the new alliance.
Up to that point I have not discovered two distinct people yet but there is the same God, the Father who took the attribute of Son in order to achieve the work of redemption(Acts 4:12).
Jesus was without sin (1 Peter 1: 19), but He was made sinned for us, so that we became in Him justice of God (2 Corinthians 5:21).
There is “one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Ephesians 4:5-6
Who is the Father?
Who is the Son?
Who is the Holy Spirit?
They are not three people, but they are three different demonstrations of the single God (Yahweh)!
1-one God and Father of all, who is above all(Yahweh)
2-and through all( the man Jesus: Yahweh manifested in the flesh)
3-and in you all (The Holy Spirit).
THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT REPRESENT ONE PERSON: JESUS CHRIST.
Indeed, Jesus said:
“And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever- the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
“A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you”.
John 14:16-20
Can someone explain the following sentence?
“At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you”.
Jesus Christ is in His Father, and He is in us.
Do you see three people here in each believer?
I see one person. Jesus the man, promised to come back and to live in the believers as the Helper. Jesus is the Helper, the Holy Spirit, living in us. Amen!
This is the reason why Brother Paul said:
“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me”.
Galatians 2:20
Christ as the Holy Spirit lives in the believer. Amen!
Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19)
Our body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
Besides, we must glorify God in our body and in our spirit, which are God’s (1 Corinthians 6:20).
Please tell me, according to the biblical passages above, would our body be inhabited by three distinct people: the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit?
Please, stop cutting out God in small pieces!
The Son lives in the Father. The son lives in us and the Father lives in us. But we are inhabited by one Spirit, the Holy Spirit, Christ, the Almighty God (2 Corinthians 3: 17, Isaiah 63: 10).
Jesus Christ is the Holy Spirit:
“Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty”.
2 Corinthians 3:17
God (Yahweh) is the Holy Spirit:
“But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit; So He turned Himself against them as an enemy, And He fought against them”.
Isaiah 63:10, John 4:24
“But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the HOLY SPIRIT and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to GOD.”
Acts 5:3-4
Ananias has lied to the Holy Spirit. Ananias has lied to God (Yahweh).
God (Yahweh) is the Holy Spirit: Please compare Isaiah 6:8-9 to Acts 28:25-27. Yahweh, the Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers. Amen!
The Bible declares that Mary was found with child of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:18, Luke 1:35).
This Holy Spirit is Yahweh Himself; this is the reason why the Son (the body of flesh, the man Jesus) Who was born took the name “YAHSHUA” which means: “GOD SAVES”. JAHSHUA is God manifested in the flesh in order to save us.
That Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Christ (Galatians 4:6, Acts 16:7, Philippians 1:19).
That Spirit of Christ was in the Prophets of the Old Testament testifying beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow:
“ Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you, searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven - things which angels desire to look into”.
1 Peter 1:10-12
THE MAN JESUS IS COMPARABLE TO THE BRONZE SERPENT LIFTED IN THE WILDERNESS
The Father is God (1Corinthians 15: 24). The Father is not the Son when we refer only to the physical body in which God has been incarnated: the man Jesus. God took a body of flesh (1Timothy 3: 16). This body of flesh called Jesus was a man (hundred percent). God took a body of flesh so that He could suffer and die in order to save us (Isaiah 35: 4, Philippians 2: 5-8; Hebrews 2:9, 17; 12:2).
For this reason and for this reason only, any believer must confess that Jesus is the engendered Son of God by the Holy Spirit. It is here about the man Jesus (1Timothy 2: 5). Coming from God, His blood, His thoughts, and all His life were perfectly holy and without sin. The death and the devil did not have any power, any authority on Him. This body of flesh is comparable to the bronze serpent in the desert:
“And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life”.
John 3:14-15
Jesus, the son of Man was comparable to the serpent made by Moses. That serpent was an insignificant stuff, without life. But God put His life, His healing power in it. It was lifted up by Moses.
O Hallelujah! God, the source of the life was in this apparently trivial and inanimate bronze serpent. The Bible declares that: “So Moses made a bronze serpent, and put it on a pole; and so it was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived” (Numbers 21: 9).
In the same way, Jesus was a Man (hundred percent) created by God Himself (called Son of God), in which He put his own life in order to save us:
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life”.
John 3:16
“And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life”.
John 3:14-15
Do you understand now why the Holy Scriptures compare the Man Jesus to the bronze serpent?
“For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus”
1Timothy 2:5
Do you understand the Holy Scriptures? The Man Jesus, the Mediator between God and men is really God manifested in flesh.
There are not two or three people, but there is one God.
Indeed, Jesus said:
“I and My Father are one.”
John 10:30
“Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves”
John 14:9-11
“And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me”.
John 12:45
“No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him”.
John 1:18
“All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him”.
Matthew 11:27
Consequently, the Father is the Son or the Son is the Father if we refer only to Jesus-Christ as the Holy Spirit.
Indeed, to overcome death and the devil, it was absolutely necessary that He was divine (hundred percent).
The Bible teaches that:
”For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on Earth or things in Heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross”.
Colossians 1:19-20
“For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;”
Colossians 2:9
It is for this reason that any believer must confess that Jesus-Christ is God (Yahweh). He is not a small god, who might be the second person of the trinity. He is not a small god beside Yahweh, but:
-the Powerful God, our Heavenly Father (Isaiah 9: 5-6),
-the true God and eternal life (1John 5: 20),
-the eternally blessed God(Romans 9: 5),
-Our great God and our Savior Jesus-Christ (Titus 2: 13),
-Immanuel: God with us (Matthew 1: 23) Alleluia!!!!
-the Alpha and the Omega, the Lord God, Who is, Who was, Who is to come, THE ALMIGHTY(Revelation 1:7-8)
As you see, Jesus has a double nature: divine and human:
« What if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before!”
John 6:62
Before, He was God (Yahweh). He became flesh, Son of Man in order to save us. He ascended where He was before. Then, He appeared to Saul on the Damascus road:
"And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”
Acts 9:5
In Heaven, there is Jesus alone. There aren’t two “Gods” (the Father and His son) sitting side by side on the throne. No!
JESUS (JAHSHUA) IS THE NAME OF GOD (YAHWEH) WHO SAVES US
“And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS”.
Luke 1:31

Because:
Anthony Waston said:
"The Trinity means the union of three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in one (unified) Godhead or divinity, so that all three persons are one in unity and eternal substance, but three separate and distinct Persons as to individuality..."
HERESY!!!!
Brother Trevor also said:
“…Such an authority makes the Apostle equal to a king and a lord of lands, and makes the one who sent him "King of kings and LORD of lords". JESUS is such, for He has sent out His Apostles and rules us who He made kings and priests. However JESUS Himself was sent, and submitted to One greater than He. This One would be the FATHER Himself… »
HERESY!!!!
Brother Trevor,
Brother Anthony Waston,
Brother Rodrick Sweet,
Please, refute my following message line by line, instead of being so talkative!
Indeed, the Bible declares:
“yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.”
1 Corinthians 8:6
Do you see two creators or two different people here?
The single God, the Father, is the Lord Jesus-Christ by Whom are all things. Amen!
Indeed, all the believers must confess that Jesus is the Son of God (John 3:16, 5:17-18; Matthew 26:63-64, 16:16; 3:17; 1 John 4:15).
But, in this precise case we refer only to THE MAN CHRIST JESUS:
“For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,”
1 Timothy 2:5
As a true Man, Jesus could eat, drink, sleep, tire and even weep (John 11: 35).
As a true Man, He died, but as God (Yahweh) He raised Himself up: “Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
John 2: 19
The Almighty God took the form of a Man. And this body of Flesh which He called his Son is the Mediator between Him and the men.
Thus, as a true Man He could feel asleep (Luke 8:23), but as God (Yahweh), Jesus-Christ could walk on the sea (Matthew 14:24-26), rebuke the wind and the raging of the water (Luke 8: 24-25):
“But He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, “Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!”
Luke 8:25
Jesus Christ is the Almighty God!
As God (Yahweh), He could rebuke unclean spirits, drive out the demons, heal the sicks: indeed, The Bible declares:
“And as he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the child, and gave him back to his father. And they were all amazed at the majesty of God” (Luke 9:42-43).
Jesus is the Almighty God!
As God (Yahweh) He cold forgive sins:
« And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
Luke 5:21, Luke 7:49
As God (Yahweh), He could open eyes of His Disciples and vanish from their sight
(Luke 24:31).
As God (Yahweh) He is omniscient and omnipresent (Luke 19:29-35; Luke 22:10-13).
As God (Yahweh), Jesus “…had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man.”
John 2:25
“then hear from heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive, and give to everyone according to all his ways, whose heart You know (for You alone know the hearts of the sons of men),”
2 Chronicles 6:30
Jesus is the Almighty God. Amen!
As God (Yahweh) He could enter a house doors of which were shut (without opening the doors) (John 20: 19),
As God (Yahweh), He could appear in the Sky in the form of light and shine around Saul (Acts 9: 1-5),
As God (Yahweh) He escape while passing through the midst of Jews without those being able to capture Him before the indicated time (Luke 4: 29-30).
The living God (Yahweh) in a body of flesh could say:
“Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” (John 8: 58).
« Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God”.
John 5:18
“The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God.”
John 10:33
A Man (Son of God), but making Himself God (God manifested in flesh).
Jesus is the Almighty God! Amen!
If these Jews had the revelation of the real nature of our Lord Jesus-Christ, they would have understood that He was called Son of God as a Man, a body of flesh, but He made Himself God because He is God manifested in the flesh, Immanuel, God with us(Matthew 1:23).
There are not two people here. There are not two or three gods but two attributes of same God (Yahweh) here.
Paul received the revelation about the real nature of Jesus-Christ. This is why he said:
“looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,”
Titus 2:13
Thomas also understood that and said to Jesus Christ: “My Lord and my God!” (John 20: 28).
“Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
(John 20:29)
O Blessed are you if you believe that Jesus is the Almighty God. Amen!
Brother Peter said:
« that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him”.
Acts 10:37-38
Moreover, it is written:
« You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.”
Hebrews 1:9
« God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit”, “God was with Him”, “Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You”.
All these phrases above do not mean that there are two Gods. God who is spirit was in the man Jesus-Christ, reconciling the world to Himself (2 Corinthians 5:19).
Indeed, God is one. The Bible is monotheist(Isaiah 45:5;18). All those who believe that there are two Gods are polytheists.
Jesus is not a small god beside the great God Yahweh, but He is God manifested in the flesh. In Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily” (Colossians 2:8-9).
Amen!
God of the Old Testament is Jesus-Christ of the New Testament. Didn’t Isaiah prophesy about the divinity of Jesus? Let us see it!
« For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace”.
Isaiah 9:6
Don't you believe that the Son is the same one who is called Our Heavenly Father? Do you see two distinct people here? It is the same person who has the attributes of Father, Son, Mighty God, Counselor, Wonderful, Holy Spirit etc.
“And the Angel of the LORD said to him, “Why do you ask My name, seeing it is wonderful?”
Judges 13:18
His name is Jesus-Christ, the Almighty God who attested in front of the Jews that Moses had written of Him:
« For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?” (John 5: 46 - 47).
Consequently, when suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
(Matthew 3: 17), that does not mean that God and the Man Jesus are two distinct people separate from one another.
Indeed, Jesus said:
« Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves”. (John 14: 11). In Jesus dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
However, it is not because God was fully in Jesus-Christ that He could not act any more everywhere.
Indeed, Our Lord fills Heaven and Earth (Jeremiah 23: 24; Isaiah 66: 1; Psalm 139: 7-10).
Moreover, Heaven and the Heaven of Heavens cannot contain God (2 Chronicles 6: 18).
God is omnipresent! Being on the Earth, He spoke from the Heaven:
“You came down also on Mount Sinai, And spoke with them from heaven, And gave them just ordinances and true laws, Good statutes and commandments” (Nehemiah 9: 13).
Moreover, Jesus at the right hand of God does not mean that God and Jesus are two distinct people sat one beside the other(side by side) on a throne in the Heaven, both remaining there for eternity and eternity (Acts 2: 33, 7: 56; Matthew 26: 64; Psalm 110: 1; Hebrews 12: 2).
This wiew is ridiculous and non scriptural. The right hand is a symbolic term which means “CAPACITY AND AUTHORITY”.
Jesus said that All authority has been given to Him in Heaven and on Earth (Matthew 28: 18).
Indeed, when God (Yahweh) became a Man (in Jesus) He achieves all His powerful works thanks to the capacity and the authority of this Man, Jesus (1 Timothy 2: 5).
All authority has been given to Him in Heaven and on Earth.
Consequently, Jesus at the right hand of God means that he is the power of God:
This is the reason why Brother Paul said:
« but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God” (1Corinthians 1: 23-24).
Let us see some examples of the symbolic use of the the phrase: “Right hand”
- « Indeed My hand has laid the foundation of the earth, And My right hand has stretched out the heavens; When I call to them, They stand up together”.
Isaiah 48:13
- “I have set the LORD always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved”.
Psalm 16:8
-“For He shall stand at the right hand of the poor, To save him from those who condemn him”.
Psalm 109:31
- “If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me”.
Psalm 139:9-10
- “My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me”.
Psalm 63:8
- “For David says concerning Him: I foresaw the LORD always before my face, For He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken”.
Acts 2:25
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the Heaven, on the Throne, there are not two or three people seated side by side. There is only one person sitting on the Throne. He is Jesus-Christ, the true God and eternal Life (1John 5: 20).
Blessings,
Bro. Germain
