What is the faith of Jesus?
Revelation 14:12 (KJV)
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
We know that the commandments of God are the 10 moral commands given to Moses at Sinai which include the Seventh-day Sabbath. What is the faith of Jesus though?
It can mean faith in Jesus (Righteousness by faith, belief in his virign birth, earthly ministry, death, burial, bodily resurrection, ascension to the right hand of the Father) and it can also mean Jesus faith, meaning what Jesus believed. Faith in the doctrines held and published by Jesus.
Let's focus on the latter, everyone alive has a faith in something even atheist. If you ask a Muslim, he will tell you his faith is in allah, a buddist would say buddha and the list goes on. So what was Jesus faith? Who was his faith in? Let's look at scripture:
John 17:3. KJV
"And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and him whom thou hast sent."
Clearly Jesus faith was in the one true God not a trinity. Jesus was sent by the One true God and we must know Him also to obtain eternal life as He is the literal Son of Jehovah. Let's look at another instance of the faith Jesus had.
Mark 12:28-34 (KJV)
28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
34 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
The above passage should be a spam dunk against the trinity doctrine. In verse 29 Jesus quotes the Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4). Out of Jesus own mouth, he says God is ONE. Notice that Jesus didn't say God is 3 in 1 or 1 in 3. Jesus spoke in plain words when describing His God and His Father Jehovah. He wasn't trying to trick or confuse anyone. If God was a trinity, Jesus would have said so. If verse 29 isn't enough to get a clear picture of the faith of Jesus, let's look at verse 32-34. The scribe acknowledges that Jesus spoke truth and confirms that God is one and that there is no other besides He. In verse 34 Jesus says something that should blow the trinity doctrine out of the water. After hearing the scribes discreet answer, Jesus tells him "Thou art not far from the kingdom of God". Notice that Jesus didn't correct the scribe and tell him that God was a trinity but rather He commended the scribe for answering wisely that God is one and there is no other.
Here is the quote from Jesus above in reference to Deuteronomy 6:4 (The Shema)
Deuteronomy 6:4 (ASV)
4 Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah:
Did you know that Jesus has a God? This is something that trinitarian's have a hard time accepting. However Jesus Himself says this in the book of Revelation. Let's look and see:
Revelation 3:11-13 (KJV)
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Four times Jesus makes mention of His God. Jesus faith is in His God, Jehovah who is His literal Father. If we overcome, we will have the name of Jesus's God written on us and the name of Jesus's God city which is New Jerusalem which comes down from heaven from Jesus's God. We will be pillars in the temple of Jesus's God.
Jesus of course is the Son of God and thereby is God by inheritance however He is not the Almighty God otherwise He wouldn't have a God. Jesus is the Mighty God (Isaiah 9:6). The above passage makes crystal clear that Jesus is not the Almighty God as Jesus obviously isn't talking about Himself in Revelation 3:11-13 when he makes mention of His God. Jesus throughout scripture identifies Himself as the "Son of God" not the Almighty God. One very quick acknowledgement of this is in Revelation 3:5
"He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels."
Jesus over and over again calls God Almighty His Father. This is even after Jesus life on earth. This contradicts those who say Jesus was only the Son during His earthly ministry. Jesus clearly identifies Himself as Jehovah's Son even after His ressurection. Why is this? Because simply Jesus is God's literal Son. He was Jehovah's Son before His birth in earth and He was His Son in eternity (Proverbs 8:22-31). The trinity doctrine teaches that Jesus sonship is only a title and a rank. If this is true then this would Jesus and Jehovah very own words not true. So who do you believe? The words of Jehovah and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ or the Trinitarian theologians and philosophers? Doesn't the bible say "Let God be true and every man a liar"?
So to tie all this in with Revelation 14:12, the faith of Jesus can rightly be understood to mean to believe in what Jesus believed and the doctrines he taught. Jesus obviously taught that God is one. Remember it was Jesus as the Angel of Jehovah who Jehovah spoke through that gave Moses the 10 Commandments at Sinai. The first of the commandments was "Thou shalt have no other gods before me" (Exodus 20:3). Make no mistake about it, Jesus was a perfect commandment keeper. Also, Jesus by being the literal Son of Almighty God Jehovah can rightly be called God and is 100% Divine Himself. He also can be worshipped (Revelation 5). A good way to look at it is this: Jehovah is the Almighty God, self existent and eternal. Jesus is the Mighty God, begotten, born and brought forth in eternity from His Father Jehovah the Almighty God. Jesus is God by inheritance as given to Him by the Father. When we honor and worship Jesus we also honor and worship the Father. Both are rightfully due honor and worship.
The commandments make it clear that we are to put no other gods before us. Not having the faith of Jesus means we also are not commandment keepers. So by not believing in One true God and believing in a trinity you then violate not only Jesus's faith but also the first commandment. Scripture is clear in Revelation 12:17, Revelation 14:12 and Revelation 22:14 that Jehovah's last days Christian Congregation will be keepers of the 10 Commandments and have the testimony of Jesus which is the spirit of prophecy and have the faith of Jesus (belief in One God). What does this mean for those who have a trinitarian belief in these last days? It means that in order for them to be sealed with Jehovah's seal they have to love truth and come out of the trinity deception. The great thing is that we have a God (Jehovah) that is merciful and understands that many sincere Christians have been lied to and deceived by the theologians, philosophers and pulpit preachers who should know better about the Biblical Godhead.
Acts 17:30 (KJV)
30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
Jehovah has winked at the times of ignorance as men are only responsible for the light given to them. Many Christians have believed in the trinity doctrine out of ignorance and Jehovah has considered them true believers however as light is shining forth in these last days He is calling men and women everywhere to repent of this false doctrine and return to the simplicity of the Biblical Godhead which is Jehovah the one true God, His literal Son Jesus Christ and their Holy Spirit (mind, breath, wind, personality, presence, power not a third god).
Why now though? Why is this teaching of the trinity doctrine being expose for what it is in these times? Because brethren we are in the very last days and the close of probation looms for not only sinners but for those still adhering to Babylon's wine (false doctrines).
Revelation 17:2. KJV
"With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication."
The good news for some trinitarian's is that some of them actually do believe that Jesus is God's literal Son and many of them do not pray or worship the Holy Spirit. These I believe will be open to truth about the 3 in 1 god. I believe these are true Christians.
Why is the trinity doctrine so dangerous especially in these last days? Because I truly believe it will be the one doctrine other than sunday observance that will unite and is uniting Protestantism and Evangelicalism with the Catholic Church and the Papacy. It is this 1 in 3 and 3 in 1 god that causes Protestants and evangelicals to look at the Romish church as just another Christian denomination rather than Mystery Babylon. This uniting is and will cause many Protestant and evangelical trinitarian's to accept Papal authority and thereby receive the mark of the beast. Just look at how Christendom no longer preaches that the papacy is the antichrist and is now looking at either Islam or a future political figure as the man of sin. The Mystery of the Trinity has deceived millions and is working it's seductions in these very last days at a rapid pace. Look at a quote from the Catholic Church regarding the Trinity doctrine and compare it with what Revelation 17:5 says:
"The mystery of the Trinity is the central doctrine of the Catholic Faith. Upon it are based all the other teachings of the church..." Handbook for Today's Catholic, p. 11.
Revelation 17:5 (KJV)
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.
We see that Mystery Babylon (Roman Catholicism) states that the trinity is their central doctrine which then other doctrines of theirs spring from, one of them being Sunday observance. According to Revelation 17:5, we see this woman, the great whore of Babylon has the word "Mystery" written on her forehead. Revelation 17:3 states that this woman the great whore, is full of names of blasphemy and she sits on the beast (the papacy). One of the names of blasphemy is the mystery known as the trinity which is written on this woman's (Mystery Babylon) forehead. However it not only the Catholic Church that is Babylon but also allthe churches that corrupt themselves with her and the papacy. These apostate churches are the harlot daughters of Mystery Babylon (Roman Catholicism). The apostate churches have shown idolatrous devotion to the papacy by worshipping his god the trinity.
So what is the solution for sincere Christians who hold to the trinity doctrine? Scripture tells us:
Revelation 18:4 KJV
"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."
This is Jehovah's and Jesus final call to leave Babylon. Leaving Babylon is not only in leaving her apostate churches but also in leaving her false doctrines, of which the trinity is central!
I believe that we are now living in Jesus' millennial Kingdom (Colossians 1:12-13). The true Sabbath of the new covenant is the Davidic King, Jesus Christ (Shiloh). My blessed hope is the Second Advent of Jehovah's only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, at the last day. Those in the Kingdom of Jesus will preach his Davidic Kingship as a present reality on the throne of David in New Jerusalem. Those who call on the name of Jehovah in these last days will be saved (Joel 2:32). Psalm 2:7!
