Jesus truly is the Son of God!
1 John 5:18-21 (KJV)
18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
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.
21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
Above is another powerful passage about the Sonship of Christ.
Verses 20, John says here that the Son of God came to give them an understanding of Him that is true. Notice that even after the ascension of Christ His identity is as the Son of God. Never once in scripture is Christ referred to as "God the Son". This is important because it's about Jesus true identity. Taking away the true Sonship of Christ is antichrist. Jesus being "the Son of God" is His very divine identity as a true Son begotten of the Father. Jesus Sonship is connected to His divinity. The term "God the Son" is simply a title that hides Christ identity as God’s only begotten Son.
How could Christ come to give us a perfect understanding of Him that is true? Because Christ is one with His Father in spirit and is the express image of Him in likeness and character. Obviously from this passage "him that is true" is the Father. Christ came to reveal the character of His Father. Jesus himself said that the Father is the one true God (John 17:3). The Father is the "Him that is true" in this verse. This is important to understand and remember.
As Christians we are in Him (The Father) that is true. Remember, Christ came to reconcile us back to the Father (Ephesians 2:16). Jesus even prayed that we would be one in Him and the Father (John 17:21). The blessing is that we have the Father dwelling in us if we confess that Jesus is His Son and by this confession we also dwell in the Father (1 John 4:15-16). We are also in the Son of "Him that is true" which of course is the Father.
"This is the true God and eternal life"
John 17:3 (KJV)
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
The last sentence in verse 20 is a clear reference to the Father as it harmonizes with Jesus very own words in John 17:3. Jesus and John his beloved disciple both state that eternal life is in knowing that the Father is the one true God. Pastor's and theologians who contradict this by teaching that the one true God is a trinity are calling Jesus and his beloved disciple liars. This is dangerous ground to be on especially in the judgement hour. Look at the below warning in verse 21:
"Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen"
Any worship outside of the Father through His only begotten Son Jesus Christ is idolatry and any concept of the identity of the one true God as anything other than the Father is an idol. These are John's words. Men like Doug Batchelor, David Asserick, Jerry Moon and Angel Rodriguez who deny the literal Sonship of Christ will not be with you in the judgement. Do not take these men's words as authoritative, scripture alone is to be our guide. Jesus never taught that God is a trinity and He never said that His Sonship was metaphorical.
Let Jehovah be true and every man a liar! Repent from worshipping the strange god of Babylon (the triune god) and denying the literal Sonship of Christ and come to the sanctuary to have your sins washed away. Our Saviour Jehovah Jesus Christ is just and willing to forgive. The trinity is a idol and we need to keep ourselves from it. Let all Jehovah's people say Amen!!
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!
