For those that
have been inundated by false
claims regarding the Godhead,
this page is for you. This page
is also for the babe in Christ
who has been approached by those
that preach Jesus isn't God or
the Holy Spirit doesn't exist.
All too often the young in the
faith are approached because
those that preach this
"expected" heresy know all too
well that the elders, pastors
and deacons within the Seventh
Day Remnant church have done
their homework and cannot be
taken off the path by twisted
passages in the Word of God or
Spirit of Prophecy, and so they
attack the young in the faith.
This page will help you see they
are twisting Scripture and some
will openly lie regarding
"certain verses" they claim must
be removed from the Bible. This
prophesied lie
confirms they are moved by
the same enemy of souls that
moved Rome to remove those
verses in the first place. It
also shows the same evil spirit
that is alive in the Vatican
inspired Koran. What I mean is,
because mankind, who is the
author of the Koran, cannot
possibly keep a lie going for
eons, he must then declare a
doctrine that says "old light is
superseded by new light." This
is how the Koran is written. If
you find a passage in the Koran
that contradicts another
passage, the "newer" passage is
trusted because it has now
"evolved" into a new truth. Or
as common sense dictates, they
messed up, couldn't see the end
from the beginning as the true
God does, and so when "times
change" so must their "holy"
book.
The
Bible of the Christian God never
changes. In fact, it says in
Malachi 3:6, "For I am the LORD,
I
change not;" That's how
amazing His eternal truth is. It
never needs to be shored up or
changed to meet societal
changes. When these people that
preach Jesus isn't God or the
Holy Spirit doesn't exist, they
echo the Roman method used in
the Koran that says "new light
supersedes old light" when in
fact the real Christian know,
new light can never supersede
old light. Our God's truth is
that powerful!
THEY
ACTUALLY PREACH THE ROMAN
TRINITY?!
Those
preaching the "one God" theology
are also borrowing theological
definition from the Vatican in
that their "One God" theology
matches perfectly with the
"Trinity" of Rome. How so? The
Trinity is defined by declaring
there is one God in three
entities. The "one God" theist
says there is one God with three
entities as well. They claim the
Godhead is made up of one "God
the Father" and then His Son and
then the breath or thought
process they call the Holy
Spirit. Hence, like Rome, they
have one God with three
entities. Notice the passages
below that confirm they are
being deceived. And if you want
to know why the devil has moved
them into this strong delusion,
it has to do with using them to
help him gather as many souls as
he can into his camp to worship
him as "one god." In fact, he
has gotten ALL Christians
denominations as well as ALL
non-Christian denominations to
do this. Click
here for the biblical and
historic facts on this.
Is
the Father a God?
First
and foremost it's important we
acknowledge God the Father to be
in fact a God. Yes, this is not
part of the issue with those
that claim Jesus nor the Holy
Spirit are Gods, but it is a
blessing to declare the Father
our God just as much as it is to
declare His Son and Holy Spirit
in the same manner. That being
said, there are far too many
verses in the Bible declaring
the Father as a God, so I will
only share a few. And I will
only share from the New
Testament so as to keep this
short. There are over 150 verses
in the Old Testament wherein the
Words "God" and "Father" are
found.
Truth
is, even those embracing the
false doctrines of the
Trinity of Rome still do
claim to understand the Father
as a God. So I see no need to be
exhaustive on this by any means.
Still, there are some beautiful
statements in the Word of this
God we worship that do in fact
declare Him our Father and our
God and so I would like to share
them here.
- John 6:27
Labour not for the meat which
perisheth, but for that meat
which endureth unto
everlasting life, which the
Son of man shall give unto
you: for him hath God
the Father sealed.
- Galatians
1:1 Paul, an apostle, (not of
men, neither by man, but by
Jesus Christ, and God
the Father, who
raised him from the dead)
- Galatians
1:3 Grace be to you and peace
from God the Father,
and from our Lord Jesus
Christ,
- Ephesians
6:23 Peace be to the brethren,
and love with faith, from God
the Father and the
Lord Jesus Christ.
- Philippians
2:11 And that every tongue
should confess that Jesus
Christ is Lord, to the glory
of God the Father.
- 1
Thessalonians 1:1 Paul, and
Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto
the church of the
Thessalonians which is in God
the Father and in
the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace
be unto you, and peace, from God
our Father, and
the Lord Jesus Christ.
- 2 Timothy
1:2 To Timothy, my dearly
beloved son: Grace, mercy, and
peace, from God the
Father and Christ
Jesus our Lord.
- Titus 1:4
To Titus, mine own son after
the common faith: Grace,
mercy, and peace, from God
the Father and the
Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
- 1 Peter 1:2
Elect according to the
foreknowledge of God
the Father,
through sanctification of the
Spirit, unto obedience and
sprinkling of the blood of
Jesus Christ: Grace unto you,
and peace, be multiplied.
- 2 Peter
1:17 For he received from God
the Father honour
and glory, when there came
such a voice to him from the
excellent glory, This is my
beloved Son, in whom I am well
pleased.
- 2 John 1:3
Grace be with you, mercy, and
peace, from God the
Father, and from
the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son
of the Father, in truth and
love.
- Jude 1:1
Jude, the servant of Jesus
Christ, and brother of James,
to them that are sanctified by
God the Father,
and preserved in Jesus Christ,
and called:
Now
yes, I understand that we see
"God the Father" used often in
unison with "our Lord Jesus
Christ" in many of the above
passages. That
occurrence has caused many
to assume Jesus is not a God but
only our Lord. But they are only
half right. What I mean is, the
Word "Lord" is actually defined
in Strongs # 2962 as a
title given to "God the
Messiah." Basic Biblical
reality is, Jesus Christ is the
only person of the Godhead that
actually came to earth to die
for man as a Saviour. This title
as "Lord" is of great importance
and is used often in the Word as
an eternal title of respect
towards Jesus for the simply act
of love He displayed on Calvary.
One has to also understand that
since He walked a mile in our
shoes He is the perfect example
for us to follow. Hence, the
term "Lord" is also meant to be
defined as OUR Lord. Allowing
Him Lordship over us as we walk
through life is not only a
beautiful way to say we love
Him, it's also concrete evidence
that He is Lord.
As
you will see in the following
verses, Jesus is in fact a God
as well as a man that was sent
to die for us. The following
passages assure us that that
calling Him "Lord" does not take
away from His divinity as a God.
In the context of truth, Jesus
is both God and Lord to all
those that have accepted Him as
Saviour. The following passages
confirm this in great detail.
Is
Jesus Christ a God?
Just a
"few" of the MANY
passages that reflect His
eternal truth. Jesus is and
always was a God!
After Thomas
doubted Jesus appeared to other
disciples, Jesus returned 8 days
later to show Thomas the scars
on His body. Then Thomas
responded...
- John 20:28,
"And Thomas answered and said
unto him, My Lord and my
God."
- Acts
7:59, "And they stoned
Stephen, calling
upon God, and
saying, Lord Jesus,
receive my spirit."
Stephen
calls upon GOD,
and according to this passage
the God he chose to speak to
when he called out was in
fact, JESUS.
- Revelation
1:5-6, "And from Jesus
Christ, who is the
faithful witness, and the
first begotten of the dead,
and the prince of the kings of
the earth. Unto him that loved
us, and washed us from our
sins in his own blood,
And hath made us kings
and priests unto God and
his Father; to him
be glory and dominion for ever
and ever. Amen."
Here
we see John the Apostle
introducing the visions he
received in the Book of
Revelation. He speaks of Jesus
Christ quite plainly, and in the
same breath declares Jesus is
declaring Himself God as He
speaks of making us kings and
priests unto Him. He continues
and uses the term "AND"
His Father when He declares we
are His Father's kings and
priests as well. The "God" being
spoken of here by John is
obviously Jesus because Jesus is
His only Son and after saying
"God" John says "AND His Father"
to show that Jesus is a God.
- Romans
2:16, "In the day when God
shall judge
the secrets of men by
Jesus Christ
according to my gospel."
God
judges. What is that Judge's
name? We get a hint in Romans
2:16 that it is Jesus Christ.
But some will twist that out
of context and declare the
judgment is only based on the
character of Jesus. If that is
so, then they need to read the
following verse to be blessed
with truth.
- 2 Timothy
4:1, "I charge thee
therefore before God, and the
Lord Jesus Christ, who
shall judge
the quick and the dead at
his appearing and his
kingdom;"
Seems pretty
plain does it not? Jesus is the
one that judges and in Romans
2:16 it plainly said "God shall
judge." No gray areas there.
- John 1:1,
"In the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word
was God."
Here we see
the Scripture saying the "Word
was WITH God, and then it says
the Word WAS God." That's two
God's mentioned in one verse!
According to the one God theist
this verse will have to be
deleted if their creed is ever
to hold up to scrutiny.
- John
1:14, "And the
Word was made flesh, and
dwelt among us,
(and we beheld his glory,
the glory as of the only
begotten of the Father) full
of grace and truth."
1 Timothy
3:16, "And without controversy
great is the mystery of
godliness: God was
manifest in the flesh,
justified in the Spirit, seen of
angels, preached unto the
Gentiles, believed on in the
world, received up into glory."
Here we see
"the Word" further verified as
Jesus Christ because He is the
only one from Heaven that "dwelt
among us." Since John 1:1 says
the Word is God and we know
Jesus was manifested in the
flesh, then Jesus has to be a
God. To say otherwise would mean
we are liars. Plus, 1 Timothy
3:16 lays the controversy to
rest even more so in that it
plainly says that "God was
manifest in the flesh" and even
a babe in Christ knows that it
speaks of Jesus and how He came
to dwell among us.
Now for a few
very powerful verses that one
God theists will never respond
to nor will they ever share from
their pulpits, for in so doing
they will be exposed as liars.
- Hebrews
1:8-9, "But unto
the Son he saith,
Thy throne, O
God, is for
ever and ever: a sceptre of
righteousness is the sceptre
of thy kingdom. Thou
hast loved righteousness,
and hated iniquity;
therefore God, even
thy God,
hath anointed thee with the
oil of gladness above thy
fellows."
By the way,
for those that say this verse is
invalid and should be deleted
from the Bible, they would also
need to rip out it's distant
echo found in Psalm 45:7 that
says,
"Thou
lovest righteousness, and
hatest wickedness: therefore
God, thy God, hath anointed
thee with the oil of
gladness above thy fellows."
Paul was actually quoting
Psalm 45:7.
By the
way, this is why one God
theists prefer to share their
heresy with babes in Christ or
new students in the Truth.
They know they probably
haven't studied as their
elders have.
- Hebrews
1:6, "And again, when he
bringeth in the
firstbegotten into the
world, he saith,
And let all the angels
of God worship him."
Unless the one
God theist is preaching God the
Father was "the firstbegotten
into the world" they cannot use
this passage in their churches
either because everyone knows
Jesus is the firstbegotten and
according to the latter end of
the verse, the angels of God
worship Him. That further
confrms He is a God.
Now for some
rather blunt verses that tie the
Son of God, Saviour and Creator
as a literal God...
- Matthew
1:23, "Behold, a
virgin shall be with
child, and shall bring
forth a son,
and they shall call his
name Emmanuel,
which being interpreted is,
God with us."
1
Timothy 2:3, "For this is good
and acceptable in the sight of God
our Saviour;"
Isaiah
43:11-15, "I, even I, am the
LORD; and beside me there is no
saviour. I have
declared, and have saved, and I
have shewed, when there was no
strange god among you: therefore
ye are my witnesses, saith the
LORD, that I am
God. Yea, before the
day was I am he; and there is
none that can deliver out of my
hand: I will work, and who shall
let it? Thus saith the LORD, your
redeemer, the Holy
One of Israel; For your sake I
have sent to Babylon, and have
brought down all their nobles,
and the Chaldeans, whose cry is
in the ships. I am the LORD,
your Holy One, the
creator of Israel,
your King."
1 John 5:20,
"And we know that the Son of God
is come, and hath given us
an understanding, that we may
know him that is true, and we
are in him that is true, even in
his
Son Jesus Christ. This is
the true God, and eternal
life."
So..
is Jesus Christ equal to God?
- Philippians
2:5-6, "Let this mind be in
you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who,
being in the
form of God, thought it not
robbery to be equal with
God:"
NOTE: In John 1 it said
the "Word was WITH
God" and then it said the "Word
was God" in that passage? This
not only declares Jesus is the
Word, but as a God He was "with"
God as well.
As
most will agree, it was God
Himself at Sinai that wrote the
Ten Commandments.
- Jesus
said... John 14:15 If
ye love me, keep my
commandments.
Another time
Jesus was approached by a rich
man who claimed to understand
who he was. Jesus knew He knew
who He was as is clear in the
following passage.
- Matthew
19:16-17, "And, behold, one
came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing
shall I do, that I may have
eternal life? And he
said unto him, Why callest
thou me good? there is
none good but one, that
is, God: but if thou
wilt enter into life, keep the
commandments."
The rich man
plainly called Jesus "Good
Master." Jesus then said "Why
callest thou me good? there is
none good but one, that is, God",
in return. Jesus then quotes the
last 6 commandments to the man
in the following verses when
instructing him on what he
needed to do. He didn't quote
the previous 4 commandments
because the man called Jesus
"Good Master" which meant he
already understood the first 4
commandments. The last 6
commandments deal with how we
love each other. But the first
four were never shared with the
man by Jesus because he already
appeared to know who God was.
The first four commandments deal
with how we love God. Why would
Jesus declare calling Him "Good
Master" was the same as calling
Him God if it wasn't true?
One more thing
to keep in mind in regards to
Jesus Christ being God. When
they declare Him to be either
non-existent at one time or only
a man and not God or even part
of the Godhead they are in
essence denying Him as a God are
they not? What does the Word say
of such people?
- 1 John
2:22-23, "Who is a liar
but he that denieth that
Jesus is the Christ? He is
antichrist, that denieth
the Father and
the Son. Whosoever denieth
the Son, the same
hath not the Father: (but) he
that acknowledgeth the Son
hath the Father also."
Not only are
they considered to be liars
and without the Father when
they deny His Son, they are also
declared by the Word of God
itself to be in fact one of the
many antichrists we find running
rampant in these last days.
- 1 John
5:20, "And we know that the Son of
God is come, and hath given
us an understanding, that we
may know him that is true, and
we are in him that is true,
even in his
Son Jesus Christ. This is
the true God, and eternal
life."
Can't be said
any plainer than that!
Is
the Holy Spirit a God?
NOTE:
For those claiming the Holy
Spirit is not an actual
God or a person but only a
"force" or "mindset" between the
Father and the Son; how I ask is
it possible to blaspheme a
"force" or "mindset?" Jesus
Christ was very clear when He
defined how one
blasphemes the Holy Ghost.
We know the
Father is a God because of
numerous Scripture on it.
However, have you noticed
that false teachers use
only the verses pertaining to
Him while avoiding the above
verses pertaining to His Son in
their battle to confuse. But
what of the Holy Spirit? Does
the Word declare Him a God as
well, further proving the "one
God" or "Trinity" theory to be
false?
- Acts
5:3-4, "But Peter said,
Ananias, why hath Satan
filled thine heart to lie
to the Holy Ghost,
and to keep back part of the
price of the land?
Whiles it remained, was it
not thine own? and after it
was sold, was it not in
thine own power? why hast
thou conceived this thing in
thine heart? thou hast not
lied unto men, but
unto God."
If the Holy
Spirit is just the breath of God
or a joint thought process
between the Father and the Son,
then how is it possible to lie
TO the Holy Ghost as Peter just
accused Ananias? And then later
in the passage Peter tells
Ananias that he just lied UNTO
GOD! That one verse alone proves
Peter, an apostle of Jesus
Christ, is declaring the Holy
Spirit is a God that can be lied
to.
Does the Word
also share characteristics of
the Holy Spirit that prove it to
be a separate person all on its
own?
- The Holy
Spirit has Omnipresence. He is
everywhere
Psalms 139:7, "Whither
shall I go from thy
spirit? or whither shall I
flee from thy presence?".
- The
Holy Spirit is eternal
Hebrews
9:14, "How much more shall
the blood of Christ, who
through the
eternal Spirit offered
himself without spot to God,
purge your conscience from
dead works to serve the
living God?"
- The
Holy Spirit is all powerful
Luke
1:35, "And the angel
answered and said unto her,
The Holy Ghost
shall come upon thee, and the power
of the Highest shall
overshadow thee: therefore
also that holy thing which
shall be born of thee shall
be called the Son of God."
- The Holy
Spirit has a mind
Romans 8:27, "And he
that searcheth the hearts
knoweth what is the mind
of the Spirit, because he
maketh intercession for the
saints according to the will
of God."
- The
Holy Spirit helped to
settle questions during
the Church Council at
Jerusalem
Acts 15:28, "For it seemed
good to the Holy Ghost, and to us,
to lay upon you no greater
burden than these
necessary things;"
- The
Holy Spirit dispenses
gifts to different
individuals according as
He wills
1 Corinthians
12:8-11, "For to one is given by
the Spirit the word of
wisdom; to another the
word of knowledge by the
same Spirit; To
another faith by the same
Spirit; to another the
gifts of healing by the
same Spirit; To
another the working of
miracles; to another
prophecy; to another
discerning of spirits; to
another divers kinds of
tongues; to another the
interpretation of tongues:
But all these
worketh that one and the
selfsame Spirit, dividing
to every man severally as he
will."
- The
Holy Spirit forbade some
from going to preach in
certain places
Acts 16:6-7, "Now
when they had gone
throughout Phrygia and the
region of Galatia, and were
forbidden of the Holy
Ghost to preach
the word in Asia,
After they were come
to Mysia, they assayed to
go into Bithynia: but the
Spirit suffered them
not."
- The
Holy Spirit anointed
Jesus and sent Him out
to preach the gospel
Luke 4:18-19, "The
Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he hath anointed
me to preach the gospel to
the poor; he hath
sent me to heal the
brokenhearted, to preach
deliverance to the
captives, and recovering
of sight to the blind, to
set at liberty them that
are bruised, To
preach the acceptable year
of the Lord."
The above
passages show all sorts of
instances wherein the Holy
Spirit does things on His own
for the people of God. Plus, if
the Holy Sprit is just a breath
or thought of God the Father,
why don't the apostles just use
the name of the Father when
declaring certain things were
happening. After all, if it's
the Father, then say so. That
being said, notice the next
verse that says BOTH the Father
and the Spirit sent Jesus to do
as He did for us.
- Isaiah
48:16, "Come ye near unto me,
hear ye this; I have not
spoken in secret from the
beginning; from the time that
it was, there am I: and now the
Lord GOD, and his Spirit,
hath sent me."
If the Holy
Spirit was only a thought or a
breath of God, then why is He
being mentioned separately in
regards to sending Jesus?
- The Holy
Spirit impregnated Mary with
the child Jesus!
Luke 1:31-35, "And, behold,
thou shalt conceive
in thy womb, and bring
forth a son, and shalt
call his name JESUS.
He shall be great, and shall
be called the Son of the
Highest: and the Lord God
shall give unto him the throne
of his father David: And
he shall reign over the house
of Jacob for ever; and of his
kingdom there shall be no
end. Then said
Mary unto the angel, How
shall this be, seeing I
know not a man?
And the angel answered and
said unto her, The
Holy Ghost shall come upon
thee, and
the power of the
Highest shall
overshadow thee: therefore
also that holy thing which
shall be born of thee shall
be called the Son of God."
Again, we see
the Father AND the Holy Spirit
being mentioned separately.
- The
Holy Spirit testifies or
witnesses of Jesus
John 15:26, "But when the
Comforter is come, whom I
will send unto you from
the Father, even the
Spirit of truth,
which proceedeth from the
Father, he
shall testify of me:"
Is Jesus being
deceptive and saying the Holy
Sprit will testify of Him when
in fact it's only "the Father's
Spirit" testifying? Saying the
Holy Spirit is just the Father's
or Jesus' mind or thoughts makes
Him to be a liar when you read
this verse.
- The
Holy Spirit leads
God’s people
Romans 8:14, "For
as many as are led by
the Spirit of God, they are
the sons of God."
- The
Holy Spirit teaches and
causes us to remember
the truth
John 14:26, "But the
Comforter, which is
the Holy Ghost, whom the
Father will send in my
name, he shall teach
you all things, and bring all
things to your
remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you."
- The
Holy Spirit comforts us
as does Christ
John 14:16, "And I
will pray the Father, and
he
shall give you another
Comforter, that he may
abide with you for ever;"
- The
Holy Spirit reproves us
of sin, righteousness,
and judgment
John 16:7-8,
"Nevertheless I tell you
the truth; It is expedient
for you that I go away:
for if I go not away, the
Comforter will not
come unto you; but if I
depart, I will
send him unto you. And
when he is come, he will
reprove the world of
sin, and of
righteousness, and of
judgment:"
- The
Holy Spirit instructs us
Nehemiah 9:20, "Thou
gavest also thy good
spirit to instruct
them, and
withheldest not thy manna
from their mouth, and
gavest them water for
their thirst."
- The Holy
Spirit speaks, guides,
hears and shows.
John 16:13-15,
"Howbeit when he, the
Spirit of truth, is
come, he will
guide you into all
truth: for he shall not
speak of himself; but
whatsoever he shall
hear, that shall
he speak: and he will
shew you things to
come. He shall
glorify me: for he shall
receive of mine, and shall
shew it unto you.
All things that the
Father hath are mine:
therefore said I, that he shall
take of mine, and
shall shew it unto you."
Did
you notice that in that verse
it states the Holy Spirit will
HEAR and then tell us what He
hears? If the Holy Spirit is
just the "thought" of Jesus or
the Father, how is this
possible?
- The
Holy Spirit speaks,
chooses, calls and sends
forth
Acts 13:2-4, "As
they ministered to the
Lord, and fasted, the Holy
Ghost said, Separate me
Barnabas and Saul for the
work whereunto I have
called them. And
when they had fasted and
prayed, and laid their
hands on them, they sent
them away. So they,
being
sent forth by the Holy
Ghost, departed
unto Seleucia; and from
thence they sailed to
Cyprus."
- The
Holy Spirit gives
messages to prophets and
they declare:
“Thus saith the
Holy Ghost”
Acts 21:11, "And
when he was come unto us,
he took Paul's girdle, and
bound his own hands and
feet, and said, Thus
saith the Holy Ghost, So shall
the Jews at Jerusalem bind
the man that owneth this
girdle, and shall deliver
him into the hands of the
Gentiles."
- The
Holy Spirit has
knowledge, and searches
all things
1 Corinthians
2:10-11, "But God hath
revealed them unto us by
his Spirit: for the
Spirit searcheth all
things, yea, the
deep things of God.
For what man knoweth
the things of a man, save
the spirit of man which is
in him? even so the things of
God knoweth no man,
but the Spirit of God."
- The
Holy Spirit sanctifies
us
Romans 15:16, "That
I should be the minister
of Jesus Christ to the
Gentiles, ministering the
gospel of God, that the
offering up of the
Gentiles might be
acceptable, being sanctified
by the Holy Ghost."
- The
Holy Spirit holds
communion with us
2 Corinthians
13:14, "The grace of the
Lord Jesus Christ, and the
love of God, and the
communion of the Holy
Ghost, be with you
all. Amen. <<The
second epistle to the
Corinthians was written
from Philippi, a city of
Macedonia, by Titus and
Lucas>"
- The
Holy Spirit is the
source of regeneration
and renewal for
salvation (see John
3:5-8; Titus 3:5).
John 3:5-8, "Jesus
answered, Verily, verily,
I say unto thee, Except a
man be born of water and of
the Spirit, he cannot
enter into the kingdom of
God. That which is
born of the flesh is
flesh; and that which is
born of the Spirit is
spirit. Marvel not
that I said unto thee, Ye
must be born again.
The wind bloweth
where it listeth, and thou
hearest the sound thereof,
but canst not tell whence
it cometh, and whither it
goeth: so is every one
that is born of
the Spirit."
Titus 3:5, "Not by
works of righteousness
which we have done, but
according to his mercy he
saved us, by the washing
of regeneration, and renewing
of the Holy Ghost;"
- The
Holy Spirit resurrects
the faithful from the
dead (see Romans 8:11; 1
Peter 3:18).
Romans 8:11, "But
if the
Spirit of him that
raised up Jesus from
the dead dwell in
you, he that raised up
Christ from the dead shall
also quicken your mortal
bodies by his Spirit that
dwelleth in you."
1 Peter 3:18, "For
Christ also hath once
suffered for sins, the
just for the unjust, that
he might bring us to God,
being put to death in the
flesh, but quickened
by the Spirit:"
If the Spirit
is just the "thoughts" of Jesus,
how did it raise Him from the
dead? Wouldn't it have been just
as easy to say the Father did
the raising instead?
- The
Holy Spirit is the
author of the Bible and
moved upon the prophets
to speak
2 Peter 1:21, "For
the
prophecy came not in old
time by the will of man:
but holy men of God spake
as
they were moved by the
Holy Ghost."
- The
Holy Spirit is another
Comforter other than
Christ
John 14:16, "And I
will pray the Father, and
he shall give you another
Comforter, that he may
abide with you for ever;"
Why
would Jesus pray for ANOTHER
Comforter if it was just Him all
along?
- The
Holy Spirit helps our
infirmities
Romans 8:26,
"Likewise the
Spirit also helpeth
our infirmities: for we know
not what we should pray
for as we ought: but the
Spirit itself maketh
intercession for us with
groanings which cannot be
uttered."
- The
Holy Spirit can be
tempted and lied to
Acts 5:3, "But
Peter said, Ananias, why
hath Satan filled thine
heart to lie to
the Holy Ghost, and to keep
back part of the price of
the land?"
Acts 5:9, "Then Peter said
unto her, How is it that
ye have agreed together to
tempt
the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the
feet of them which have
buried thy husband are at
the door, and shall carry
thee out."
- The
Holy Spirit can be
blasphemed
Matthew 12:31,
"Wherefore I say unto you,
All manner of sin and
blasphemy shall be
forgiven unto men: but the
blasphemy
against the Holy Ghost shall not be
forgiven unto men."
Mark 3:28-29,
"Verily I say unto you,
All sins shall be forgiven
unto the sons of men, and
blasphemies wherewith
soever they shall
blaspheme: But he
that shall blaspheme
against the Holy Ghost hath never
forgiveness, but is in
danger of eternal
damnation:"
Luke 12:10, "And whosoever
shall speak a word against
the Son of man, it shall
be forgiven him: but unto
him that blasphemeth
against the Holy Ghost it shall not
be forgiven."
Keep in mind,
the term "blasphemy" can only be
attributed to a GOD.
- The
Holy Spirit is another
Intercessor other than
Christ
Romans 8:26,
"Likewise the Spirit also
helpeth our infirmities:
for we know not what we
should pray for as we
ought: but the
Spirit itself maketh
intercession for us with
groanings which cannot be
uttered."
Additional
verses on the Holy Spirit
Even though I
just shared literally dozens of
verses about the Holy Spirit
being an actual God on His own,
as I always do each and every
day, I study the Word. And even
though I thought I found enough
verses to prove this point, low
and behold the Lord gave me even
more and so it is here I would
like to add those verse.
- One "Holy" for each person
of the Godhead
Isaiah 6:3 And one cried
unto another, and said, Holy, holy,
holy,
is the LORD of hosts: the
whole earth is full of his
glory.
Revelation 4:8 And the
four beasts had each of them
six wings about him; and they
were full of eyes within: and
they rest not day and night,
saying, Holy,
holy, holy,
Lord God Almighty, which was,
and is, and is to come.
- Jeremiah's
statement regarding each God
of the Temple
Jeremiah 7:4 Trust ye
not in lying words, saying, The temple of
the LORD, The temple of the
LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these.
- Peter
Denied the Lord THREE times
for a reason
Matthew 26:34 Jesus said
unto him, Verily I say unto
thee, That this night, before
the cock crow, thou shalt deny
me thrice.
- Jesus asked
Peter THREE times if he loved
Him and to feed His sheep
because he denied the Father,
SOn and Holy Ghos previously
John 21:15-17 So
when they had dined, Jesus
saith to Simon Peter, Simon,
son of Jonas, lovest thou me
more than these? He saith unto
him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest
that I love thee. He saith
unto him, Feed
my lambs.
(16) He saith to
him again the second time,
Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto
him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest
that I love thee. He saith
unto him, Feed
my sheep.
(17) He saith unto
him the third time, Simon, son
of Jonas, lovest
thou me?
Peter was grieved because he
said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me?
And he said unto him, Lord,
thou knowest all things; thou
knowest that I love thee.
Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
- David said via
the
Holy
Spirit,
that the LORD
(Father)
said to my Lord (Jesus)
that He will sit as His
right hand. ALL THREE
PERSONS of the Godhead are
present in this statement.
Mark 12:36 For David
himself said by the Holy
Ghost,
The LORD
said
to my Lord, Sit thou on my
right hand, till I make
thine enemies thy footstool.

to give repentance to Israel,
and forgiveness of sins.
(32) And we are
his witnesses of these things;
and so is also the Holy Ghost,
whom God hath given to them
that obey him.
- Jesus
said we can blaspheme Him and
the Father, but NOT the Holy
Spirit. How's that possible
when some claim the Holy
Spirit is the Father's mind?
Matthew 12:31 Wherefore
I say unto you, All manner of
sin and blasphemy shall be
forgiven
unto men: but
the blasphemy against the
Holy Ghost shall not be
forgiven unto men.
- The Holy
Spirit in the THIRD PERSON
John

of truth,
is come, he will guide you

of himself; but whatsoever
he
shall hear,
that shall he

and he
will shew
you things to come.

- Three
different NAMES
Baptism is a most solemn
renunciation of the world.
Those who are baptized in the threefold
name
of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,
at the very entrance of their
Christian life declare
publicly that they have
forsaken the service of Satan
and have become members of the
royal family, children of the
heavenly King. --6T 92 (1901)
- 3 Gods in
ONE VERSE
2 Corinthians 1:3
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ,
the Father of mercies, and the God of all
comfort;
- God
gives the Spirit
John 3:34 For he whom
God hath sent speaketh the
words
of God: for God giveth
not the Spirit by measure unto him.
Basic
facts about the Holy Spirit
- Galatians 4:6,
"And because ye are sons,
God hath sent forth the
Spirit of his Son
into your hearts, crying,
Abba, Father."
If the Spirit
is just a "thought" process of
the Father or the Son as some
preach, why is it the Father is
sending forth the Spirit of His
Son? Why not send forth His own
Spirit? This proves the Spirit
of the Son is a separate being
altogether.
- John
14:16, "And I will pray the
Father, and he shall give
you another Comforter,
that he may abide with you
for ever;"
If the
Spirit is just a "thought"
process of the Father or the
Son, why is it the Father is
sending forth ANOTHER
Comforter? Who is th
Comforter?
- John
14:26, "But the
Comforter, which is the
Holy Ghost, whom the
Father will send in my name,
he shall teach
you all things, and bring
all things to your
remembrance, whatsoever I
have said unto you."
The phrase "He shall teach
you..." denotes the Spirit is
a separate being. If it was
just the thought process of
Jesus it would say "I shall teach
you..."
- John
15:26, "But when the
Comforter is come, whom
I will send unto you from the
Father, even the
Spirit of truth, which proceedeth
from the Father, he shall testify
of me:"
- John
16:7, "Nevertheless I tell
you the truth; It is
expedient for you that I go
away: for if I go not away,
the
Comforter will not come
unto you; but if I depart, I
will send him unto you."
Here the
Comforter is spoken of in the
THIRD PERSON by saying, "HE shall testify of
ME "I will send HIM unto you." Now
for the clincher...
- John
16:13, "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of
truth, is come, he will guide you
into all truth: for he shall
not speak of himself; but whatsoever he
shall hear, that shall he
speak: and he will shew you
things to come."
If
the Holy Spirit is just a
"thought" process of the Father
or the Son, how can "HE" guide
you, or how can the term
"HIMSELF" be used, and
especially, how can he "HEAR"
things to speak to us about? Is
God talking to Himself? That
makes no sense.
BOTTOM
LINE:
If you deny the Holy Spirit
exists, than all the promises
shared above regarding what He
will do for you in life are
forfeited by YOU! Now do you
see why your prayer life is so
lacking?
Should
1 John 5:7 be removed?
Hard Questions for
Evolutionists - Part 1 of 2
- Dr. Carl Baugh
Please
click the above link.
It's a video of Dr Carl Baugh, a
well known creationist speaker,
scientist and author. He has
sufficiently exposed every lie
about evolution and I have used
his works many times over the
years to help evolutionists see
they have been lied to. In this
video, he is speaking on
evolution, but fast forward to
12:00 in the video and listen to
what he says for the next 17
minutes! (Baugh has a tendency
to be very thorough) Pay special
close attention when the video
gets to about 16:47 in the
video.
First and
foremost, no I don't
trust Dr Baugh's Trinitarian
doctrines, as I have ample
evidence Rome invented it,
and I don't trust TBN as it is
being used by Satan to confuse
Christians all over the world to
join in Rome's long
prophesied ecumenical charge.
But, Dr Baugh does unearth some
tangible historic evidence, in
hand in fact, that
I believe can be very
valuable to everyone
that's dealing with loved
ones trapped in the prophesied "one god"
movement that heralds the
arrival of Antichrist. It
has to do with 1John 5:7 and how
some preach it is not supposed
to be in the Bible. Some of you
are going to be shocked by
what's in this video!
In short, you will
find in this video that he
reveals using actual ancient
manuscripts that 1 John 5:7 was
in fact in the original
manuscripts that laid the
foundation for the King James
Bible we have today. As I stated
earlier, there are some to this
day that say it is not
supposed to be in there
because (they claim) it wasn't
in the original manuscripts.
Baugh also outlines the fact
that 1 John 5:7 wasn't in
Vatican and other corrupted
manuscripts, (and this is why
it's removed from the NIV and
other bogus bibles)
but it was in the inspired one
that was used for the King James
version of the Bible as well as
the manuscript Martin Luther
used to translate his Bible into
German during the Reformation.
It cost an immense
amount of money to get this old
book in hand and I praise God it
was Dr Baugh that was called to
receive it because others made
offers to try and get it away
from him. The reason I am glad
he got it and not them was
because, had they bought it,
this truth may have never been
confirmed or placed in a museum
where anyone can view it. Yes,
it's true that those of us that
have the truth within, already
know the truth about 1 John 5:7
which says...
- 1 John 5:7,
"For there are three that bear record
in heaven, the Father,
the Word, and the Holy
Ghost: and these three
are one."
Those that claim
Jesus isn't God and the Holy
Spirit doesn't exist hate this
passage with a passion as it
proves they are being moved by
Satan to preach his lies to the
masses. Many have believed their
lies over the years to such an
extent that some of the modern
day Bibles actually removed this
passage from the book of 1 John,
and some even have footnotes
declaring the verse to be
uninspired so as to hide the
truth about the Godhead. But
now, Dr Carl Baugh actually has
the book in his museum that was
used as the foundation of the
King James that proves 1John 5:7
WAS IN THE ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT
all along! Those that lied were
hoping this book would never be
uncovered or even found. But the
truth will always come forth.
As is shared in the
video, Dr Baugh paid just under
$30,000 for the book and someone
did try to buy it out from under
him for $100,000 a few days
before he got the rest of the
money. Me thinks they wanted
that book to keep this demonic
doctrine alive so as to better
herald the arrival of the "one
god" Christian prophecy
describes as THE antichrist!
And no, those of us
that know Jesus personally never
needed the original manuscript
to verify the truth on this as
we have His promised Holy Spirit
within and we know all too well
how to study doctrine as Isaiah
28:10 says is done by checking
every "precept must be upon
precept, precept upon precept;
line upon line, line upon line;
here a little, and there a
little:" All we need is the Word
to verify the truth and expose
the lies. But now that we have
concrete evidence in hand which
can be viewed by anyone visiting
the Glendale Creationist Museum
in Glendal Texas, it makes our
job that much easier!
By the way, since
those claiming Jesus isn't God
and the Holy Spirit doesn't
exist insist that this bible
verse should be removed, as does
Rome, then they have to agree
that the other 2000 - 3000
verses removed by the Vatican in
all the "bogus
bibles" are also worthy to
be removed. They cannot say,
"only this verse" because it was
the Vatican that removed it
along with all the others. In
short, as prophesied, they are
"wondering after the beast" just
like all the others in the
world. So.. pray for them.
For the
SDA that trusts Spirit of
Prophecy
Many babes in
the truth are being approached
by some that preach this "one
God" theology that have no grasp
on the Word of God and rarely
use it at all. However, they do
use a lot of Ellen White
comments and 100% of them are
all out of context, They build a
bridge of deception by sharing
out of context phrases from
Spirit of Prophecy (SOP) and
then filter it with many strange
comments of their own that are
designed to shore up their
twisted SOP phrases. In all
cases they claim Ellen White
never once said the Holy Spirit
is an actual person. However,
the following list below
confirms they boldly lied to
gather a soul into apostasy with
them.
- "There are
three living persons of
the heavenly trio;
in the name of these three
great powers --the Father, the
Son, and the Holy
Spirit--those who receive
Christ by living faith are
baptized, and these powers
will co-operate with the
obedient subjects of heaven in
their efforts to live the new
life in Christ.-- Special
Testimonies, Series B, No.
7, pp. 62, 63. (1905)
-Evangelism 615.1
- "Those who
proclaim the third angel's
message must put on the whole
armor of God, that they may
stand boldly at their post, in
the face of detraction and
falsehood, fighting the good
fight of faith, resisting the
enemy with the word, "It is
written." Keep yourselves
where the three great
powers of heaven,
the Father, the Son, and the
Holy Spirit, can be your
efficiency. These powers work
with the one who gives himself
unreservedly to God. The
strength of heaven is at the
command of God's believing
ones. The man who takes God as
his trust is barricaded by an
impregnable wall.--The
Southern Watchman, Feb. 23,
1904, p. 122.
- "Our
sanctification is the work of
the Father, the Son, and the
Holy Spirit. It is the
fulfillment of the covenant
that God has made with those
who bind themselves up with
Him, to stand with Him, with
His Son, and with His Spirit
in holy fellowship. Have you
been born again? Have you
become a new being in Christ
Jesus? Then co-operate with the
three great powers of
heaven who are
working in your behalf. Doing
this you will reveal to the
world the principles of
righteousness. -Signs
of the Times, June 19, 1901
par. 4
- "God has never
left Himself without witness
on the
earth. At one time Melchisedek
represented the Lord Jesus
Christ in
person, to reveal the
truth of heaven, and
perpetuate the law of God

- “We need
to
realize that the Holy
Spirit, who is as
much a person as God is
a person,
is walking through these
grounds.--Manuscript 66,
1899. (From a talk to the
students at the Avondale
School.) {Ev
616.5}
- "The
Holy Spirit is a person, for He
beareth witness with our
spirits that we
are the children of God.
When this witness is borne,
it carries with it its own
evidence. At such times we
believe and are sure that we
are the children of
God. . . . {Ev
616.6}
-
"The Holy
Spirit has a personality, else He could
not bear witness
to our spirits and with our
spirits that we are the
children of God. He
must also be a divine
person, else He could
not search out the secrets
which lie hidden in the mind
of God. "For what man
knoweth the things of a
man, save the spirit of man
which is in him? even so the
things of God knoweth
no man, but the Spirit of
God."--Manuscript 20,
1906. {Ev

that the three great
Powers of heaven are working,
that a divine hand is on the
wheel, and that God

pass.--Ev 65 (1902).
- Here is
where the work of the Holy
Ghost comes
in, after your baptism. You
are baptized in the name of
the Father, of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost. You are
raised up out of the water to
live henceforth in
newness of life—to live
a new life. You are born unto
God, and you stand under
the sanction and the power of
the three holiest beings
in heaven, who are
able
to keep you from falling.--
MS95-1906 on page 26, second
paragraph
Sister
White also declares the
following regarding the Holy
Spirit...
- “The
nature of the Holy Spirit
is a mystery. Men
cannot explain
it, because the Lord has not
revealed it to them. Men
having fanciful views may
bring together passages of
Scripture and put a human
construction on them, but the
acceptance of these views will
not strengthen the church.
Regarding such mysteries,
which are too deep for human
understanding, silence
is golden.”
-Acts of the Apostles p 52
- “In
1888 in the General Conference
held at Minneapolis, Minn, the
angel of Revelation 18 came
down to do His work, and was ridiculed,
criticized and rejected.
And when the message He brings
again, swells into a loud cry,
it will again be
ridiculed, spoken against
and be rejected by the
majority.” -Ellen
G. White in Taking up a
Reproach. 1888.
- “The
Holy Ghost is the author
of the Scriptures and of
the Spirit of Prophecy"
