Rome using 'one God' to besiege Remnant
By Nicholas
July 18, 2008

 

 

It appears lately many religions have been becoming more and more bold in their attempts to get souls into the Pagan monotheistic view of the Godhead. In other words, they have been teaching far and wide that there is only one God, and Jesus is not part of that equation. Worse yet, they are also teaching the Holy Spirit doesn’t exist at all as a person, place or thing. I don’t want to get into all of the strange doctrines they embrace, but I do want to touch on this main one as it is the catalyst for the rest.

I am only going to share the major religions of the world that embrace this strange doctrine for the sake of getting to the point more quickly. I will touch on exposing the error here, but I am not going to concentrate this Newsletter to prove their doctrine is error because I have done that many times before already. I have a page on the website all about this that proves, using scores of Scriptures, that they are in fact in error on this. For those interested, on that page I also share who it was that started this strange doctrine long ago. My Trinity page as well goes into depth on this topic from a few angles for those concerned by this issue. So, I need not repeat all that here. This Newsletter will mostly be based on the prophetic 'reason' they have recently joined to preach one god in all the churches around the world.

Since Rome announced last April that the Muslim church is now considered the largest church on earth, we will start there. And by the way, they lied when they said the Muslims were the largest. If you want more info on that, see my article dated, April 02, 2008

The Muslim people, as we know, claim there is one God. We also know they claim this God grants them Heaven immediately with numerous virgins at their beck and call if they kill Christians or Jews in suicide bombings. That right off tells us they are not worshipping the same loving God we do, as both they and Rome claim, but I will get into that a little later on.

If you hear Muslim leaders, politicians, and even the Vatican when they speak on these things you will find they all agree the Islamic faith claims the God we worship is the same God the Christians worship. But the Muslims boldly deny this one God has a Son named Jesus Christ. They do acknowledge Jesus as a prophet, but do not embrace Him as part of the Godhead. They also place Mary on a high pedestal equal with Christ just as Rome does. So this in itself is one of the main reasons they are being allowed to share such things. Mary will play a major role for Rome in the coming days, especially when Satan starts to manifest her "image" before the people more frequently. But then, that's a completely different Newsletter. So I won't get into that here.

Islam teaches…

  • "For God hath said, 'Take not to yourselves two Gods, for He is one God.'" (Sura 16:53; cp. 20:7)

Next we have the Jews that also claim there is but one God, in which they trust will eventually send His Messiah to their rescue.

 Modern day Israel teaches…

The Shema, is a liturgical prayer and the basis of Jewish belief. They quote a series of verses each day. "Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is ONE" (Deut. 6:4). The Jews proclaim the Shema each and every day of their lives. They also write this prayer on parchment and affix it to their doorposts (Mezuzah), and bind it upon the hand or the head (Tefillin). This prayer proclaiming God's "one-ness" is the first words a Jewish child is taught to say, and they are the last words spoken before a Jewish person dies.

Like the Muslim, the Jew openly denies Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Messiah on multiple points by stating He never fulfilled certain Bible prophecies. Prophecies history prove He did in fact fulfill. But their blindness prevented them from seeing the fulfilments as we as Christians have witnessed, documented, and preached for 2000 years. Thanks to the efforts of the Jew, this same blindness has spread to many people of the world.

Next we have the Catholic church that likewise teaches there is one but God with their Trinity doctrine. This ancient Pagan monotheistic doctrine was originated in Babylon, and as prophecied, Rome adopted it along with all the other doctrines. Hence their title, "Whore of Babylon." The Catholic church by the way is also the one spearheading this present ecumenical charge and as prophecy predicted they have convinced all religions they have a basis of agreement to re-join with mother Rome. The Catholic prelates strangely enough believe and teach the God of the Bible is also the god of Rome. Since Judaism and Islam, and all other religions now agree with her on that one issue, they feel and boldly proclaim they should be obligated to join under this banner as one body of believers for the sake of world peace.

Rome also places Mary on the same level as Jesus Christ, and in so doing entice the Muslim to join their camp because they also look upon Mary as a prophet worthy of reverence and respect. However lately Rome has been placing Mary as the key figure in Catholicism thereby nullifying Christ altogether. This is enticing to Islam on multiple fronts. But then that's to be expected if you want to build the one world church prophecy stated the Beast would do.

 Catholicism teaches:

  • Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold the catholic faith; Which faith except every one do keep whole and undefiled, without doubt he shall perish everlastingly. But this is the catholic faith: That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in unity...So the Father is God: the Son is God: and the Holy Ghost is God; And yet there are not three Gods; but one God…So are we forbidden by the catholic religion to say, there are three Gods, or three Lords…He therefore that will be saved, must thus think of the Trinity." The Athanasian Creed, quoted in History of the Christian Church, Volume 3, Section 132, page 690-693, by Philip Schaff.
  • "There is then one God and Father, and not two or three; one who is, and there is no other besides him, the only true [God]. For ‘the Lord your God,’ says [the Scripture], ‘is one Lord’ [Deut. 6:4]. . . . And there is also one Son, God the Word. . . . And there is also one Paraclete" (Letter to the Philadelphians 2 [A.D. 110]).

Notice in the second quote if you will the Catholic church uses the exact same Bible verse the Jews use in their daily "Shema" discussed earlier. Coincidence? I think not.

Now we move onto the Protestant which agrees wholeheartedly with the Catholic message in that they not only preach the Trinity, they disobey Jesus Christ in many doctrinal aspects, especially His Law. This places Him on the same level Islam and Catholicism place Him out of sheer disrespect. However, unlike Rome the Protestant places Jesus higher then Rome places Mary.

 Protestantism teaches:

The Protestant has adopted the Trinitarian doctrine of Rome as prophecy declared they would. So there is no need to post over 3000 statements of faith for each denomination out there claiming to be Protestant to illustrate this point. Everyone knows they believe in the one God theory of the Trinity.

Strangely enough, we now have, the Seventh day Adventist (SDA) that surprisingly also agrees with the one God theory of the Roman Catholic Trinity. The only reason I share an excerpt from the statement of faith on this topic for the SDA church is because prophecy declared them to be the ninth hour worker, and the only true Bible Protestant against Rome in their day. However, prophecy also predicted they too would fall and join with Rome in both doctrine and persecution of God’s people right before Jesus returns. What is the Seventh Day Adventist statement regarding Trinity, or monotheistic view of God?

 Seventh day Adventism teaches…

Seventh-day Adventists believe that Jesus is one of the three persons, called the Trinity, who make up our one God.” - http://www.adventist.org/beliefs/ (The Official SDA church website)

Finally we have the separated Seventh day Adventist who have quite recently began teaching there is but one God and Jesus is not part of the Godhead. In fact they go so far as to say He was non-existent at one time and in so doing declare Him a liar when His Word says He created all that is seen and unseen. For Him to be non-existent at one time means someone else had to create Him so that He could create everything in the first place. Confused? Yes, that's a fruit of Babylon! Gdo's Word plainly says "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." -John 1:3

 One faction of the separated SDA movement now teaches…

“The Bible teaches that there is but one God, who is the Father of all.”-http://www.worldslastchance.com/biblestudies_godhead.php

To answer the obvious question. What do I, Nicholas of Presents of God ministry teach here at RemnantofGod.org? Being a Seventh day Remnant, I believe, preach, and teach three distinct entities of the Godhead. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are consistent with the biblical structure of the Godhead. There are so many verses confirming we worship God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit that I can't post them all in this Newsletter for space reasons. So, click the links I just shared to get a look. And no, I don't list any passages proving God the Father to be of the Godhead simply because for some reason that doctrine is the one they all agree with. It's not in question for some reason. As twisted as they made it, He is still God the Father. But I will share one verse that most Trinitarians, and monotheistic believers never knew existed because their lying pastors simply never shared it in the context it was written, if at all.

I must say, before sharing it that when it comes to validating this truth about the Godhead, this one passage found in the book of Hebrews stands as a bright beacon shining clear light on all the passages discussed thus far. It not only helps to solidify the truth in the heart, it boldly proclaims it clear unmistakable expression. This one verse can easily put to rest this false doctrine if only one eye was open to see it.

  • 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."

This verse proves Jesus Christ is considered an absolute separate person of the Godhead, and it is done by the very lips of the Father Himself! The Father (he saith) is calling His Son, "O God" in this passage. This passage also declares God the Father is the God of Jesus Christ as well when it says, " therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness..." Did you catch that? One God is speaking to the other God, saying that "thy God" has anointed Him, His Son! The wording of this passage makes it so clear that there is more then ONE God in the Godhead, thereby blasting the monotheistic theology completely and utterly out of existence. This passage in Hebrews 1:8,9 proves yet another deception fabricated in Roman theology. ( See all the verses here)

So.. why are they doing this?

With the obvious exception of the Seventh Day Remnant, and a few other brethren scattered about, all religions on earth claim to be worshipping the same God. In fact they declare this quite openly in the thousands of statements printed in the media both online and offline. What many are unaware if is, the Vatican actually placed this belief that the Muslims worship the same God as the Catholic in their doctrinal books, or "Catechism" which are used to teach their children at a very early age.

The Church’s relationship with Muslims. The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place among whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day (Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 841, quoting Lumen Gentium 16, November 21, 1964).

The once popular Pope John Paul II stated…

'We believe in the same God, the one and only God, the living God, the God who creates worlds and brings creatures to their perfection' (What Dialogue Means for Catholics and Muslims, US Conference of Catholic Bishops, http://www.usccb.org/seia/brunett.shtml).

Even the United States government has joined Rome’s ecumenical charge when they recently had President George W. Bush declare the following before millions in the media...

"I believe we worship the same God," the London-Telegraph newspaper, (Nov. 24, 2003) quoted Bush as saying.

Are they speaking the truth? Do Muslims and Catholics worship the same God as Christians? We can find this out by looking into what their God says on certain topics in their statements, holy books, and doctrinal writings. However, before starting I must declare that when I quote the Muslim, it is for the Islamic faith and all those that embrace it. Since it is outside Christianity I cannot join it with those that claim Christianity.

When I quote the Catholic, it is for the Catholic, but it is also for those that embrace Catholic doctrine. As we just learned, all so called Protestant Christians, including the SDA church agree with Rome on the Trinity doctrine, as well as other doctrines I do not cover here, but do share all over this website. So common sense states that in this case they are indeed in agreement, and will be lumped in with them when I share what I am called to share here.

For the sake of space, I will not be doing an in depth look at all Islamic or all Catholic doctrine that proves they do not embrace the same God. Instead I have decided rather to focus on the violence, or hatred factor we see in these faiths. This ministry as well as many of those reading have first hand experience on how Muslims, Catholics, Protestants, and yes even Seventh day Adventists have come against us, some using a strange hatred and even violence to try and stop that which we preach. So I figured using this “like minded fruit” of those proclaiming there is only one God, should do well to illustrate the truth behind this end time agenda.

Before moving on, I need to remind all of connection on doctrine between the Muslim and the Jew so as to close the book on their usually unknown similarities. Neither looks upon Christ as God. So like the Catholics and the Protestants being lumped together on this "one God" theory, I can now do the same for the Muslim and the Jew in this regard.

Islamic doctrine:

  • The Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary, was no more than God’s apostle (Sura 4).
  • They do blaspheme who say: Allah is Christ the son of Mary (Sura 5:72).
  • In blasphemy indeed are those that say that Allah is Christ the son of Mary (Sura 5:17).

Right off we see Islamic doctrine states Jesus is not God but a mere Apostle of God. In fact they declare it blasphemy for Jesus to be called God. Is this not an eerie echo of what the Jews said in…

  • John 10:33, "The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God."

It appears the Muslim has much more in common with the Jew then the Catholic in this respect. This is why they can be lumped together on this key point in this illustration.

Now that I have "reminded" all of the Jewish/Islamic connection, we can move on to the violence factor.

  • "kill the disbelievers wherever we find them" (Koran 2:191);
  • "fight and slay the Pagans, seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem" Koran 9:5);
  • "murder them and treat them harshly" (Koran 9:123).
  • "Strike off the heads of the disbelievers"; and after making a "wide slaughter among them, carefully tie up the remaining captives" (Koran 47:4). 

Do these sound like words of the same God we the Remnant Christias worship? Or does this sound more like the violent and hateful god of this world speaking? Using common sense one can see an agreed agenda here, and it is just as prophecy said it would be.

Catholicism admits:

  • "On August 24, 1527, Roman Catholics in France, by prearranged plan, under Jesuit influence, murdered 70,000 Protestants within the space of two months. The Pope rejoiced when he heard the news of the successful outcome."-Western Watchman, Nov.21, 1912 (Catholic publication)
  • "The church may by divine right confiscate the property of heretics, imprison their person, and condemn them to flames.  In our age, the right to inflict the severest penalties, even death, belongs to the church.  There is no graver offense than heresy, therefore it must be rooted out." - Public Eccliastical, Vol. 2, p.142.
  • "The Catholic Church has persecuted ... when she thinks it is good to use physical force she will use it... Will the Catholic Church give bond that she will not persecute?... The Catholic Church gives no bonds for her good behaviour." -Western Watchman, Dec. 24, 1908
  • Click here to read the "red" paragraph of the Roman Catholic Jesuit oath. (If and when you read it, note the remarkable and uncanny resemblance between the Muslim and the Catholic in these bloodcurdling words!)

The God of Creation whom the Muslim and the Catholic claim is their God, clearly says…

  • "Thou shalt not kill (murder)." -Exodus 20:13; Deuteronomy 5:17
  • "…Do violence to no man." - Luke 3:14

It is quite easily seen the Muslim and Catholic god can in no way be the same loving God of the Christian Bible. The god of Rome and the god of Islam are absolutely identical in every way, and light years from the Christian God in His Truth and mercy.

If they have already agreed to come together as one under this “one God,” for the sake of peace. How big of a jump do you think it will be for them to come into agreement that violence is acceptable for them to use against the true Christian? Truth is, on July 10, 2008  word came out that the United Nations is working as we speak on passing pro-Islamic International laws that will make all true Christians criminals! This “one God” doctrine is paving the way for them to join as one against the child of God. This was prophecied to occur, and now we see yet another method by which it will occur. Satan has deceived the people into thinking the loving acts of the true child of God are the biggest threat to peace on earth.

Amazing as it may seem, the Christians that carry no weapons of any kind, are the ones that generate the most fear in the wicked. And rightly so, as our God is very powerful! "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." (Hebrews 10:31) They may not know the motive for their hatred, but the demons guiding them do. This is what makes it that much easier for the Remnant to stand firm in the courage of Christ. We know very well that "...we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." (Ephesians 6:12) Where men are fearful to fight other men, Christians stand as champions when fighting Satan because we have "Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." -Ephesians 6:11

All these religions already agree in unbiblical doctrine that there is only one God. Soon they will agree in the unbiblical doctrine that it’s acceptable to kill innocent Christians for their one god just as Jesus predicted they would…

  • John 16:2, "They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service."

Truth is, the Catholic and Islamic church have already been known and quite extensively documented to do this for their god in the past. In fact, they have been exposed recently as still doing it to this day. Sadly, many of us have already witnessed first hand the birth pangs of this prophecied wicked mindset coming to fruition in the Protestant as well as Seventh day Adventist people. We know how hated our faith is to them now. Still, "Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?" -Galatians 4:16

We can continue to love them knowing if they knew the Truth as we do, they would never hate us or try to harm us. It’s the demons that possess or oppress them that move them against us. We fight against those powers outside the world, not the people that are moved by those demonic powers to hate us.

Years ago I could not understand why Satan was using the Trinity doctrine of Rome to deceive the masses in and outside the Roman church. Yes I saw it as spurious and false. But I never once for a moment thought it could be used to gather the forces against the people of God. Till now.
