The Father is the living God!

The Father (Jehovah) is the living God and the one true God. Don't take my word for it, believe Jesus! If the Father is the one true God and living God, then who is Christ? It's actually very simple and beautiful, He is the Son of the living God and the one true God. Jesus affirms Peter's confession as such and Jesus states that this confession will be the foundation on which the Church will be built upon and that it's this Church that will not be swallowed up by the grave.

Jeremiah 10:10 (ASV)

10 But Jehovah is the true God; he is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembleth, and the nations are not able to abide his indignation.

John 17:3 (ASV)

3 And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou didst send, even Jesus Christ.

It's pretty clear that the living God is the Father and Jesus is His Son.

Matthew 16:13-20 (KJV)

13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.

The controversy between the unbelieving Jews and Jesus was not whether He was the living God but rather the Son of the living God. More clear proof that the living God is the Father.

Matthew 26;63

63 But Jesus kept silent And the high priest said to Him, "I adjure You by the living God, that You tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God."

The City of the living God is clearly the city of the Father according to Jesus.

Hebrews 12:22

22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels,

Revelation 3:12 (KJV)

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.

The Three Angels messages part 2

The 2nd Angels message

Revelation 14:8 (KJV)

8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

The second angel cries out that Babylon is fallen and has made all nations drink of the wine of her fornication. This message went out to the fallen Protestant denominations during the Advent movement in the mid 1800's and continues this day as their apostasy is even more of a stench in the nostrils of Jehovah now than it was then. The Protestant and Orthodox churches along with their mother Roman Catholicism constitute Mystery Babylon along with other false religions of the world.

Roman Catholicism has been fallen since it's development in the 4th century so it is the Protestant denominations that are primarily described in the second angel's message. The Protestant reformation brought many good things to Christianity however they stopped reforming and soon became the cage of every unclean and hateful bird. Protestantism refused to conform to the law of Jehovah notably the 4th commandment of the decalogue. The trickle down effect of their lawlessness invited foul spirits into their congregations and a spirit of rebellion which according to 1 Samuel 15:23 is equivalent to witchcraft.

The wine spoken of here represents false doctrine and the fornication mentioned is spiritual. The greek word for fornication is "porneia" (strongs 4202) and means "harlotry (including adultery and incest), homosexuality, lesbianism, intercourse with animals: figuratively, idolatry: - fornication, worship of idols, of the defilement of idolatry, as incurred by eating the sacrifices offered to idols.

The Protestant Churches teach many false doctrines, a few are listed below:

-Celebration of pagan holidays such as Xmas, Easter and even halloween
-Promotion of the Eucharist
- the natural immortality of the soul
-eternal torment
- Sunday sacredness
- The trinity doctrine
-infant baptism
-God's law being done away with

The nations have drunken the wine of Babylon's spiritualism. The natural immortality of the soul is one of the most poisonous doctrines which leads to huge deceptions. Many have been deceived by lying familiar spirits thinking these are dead loved ones. The calling on of dead loved one's spirits is big business in today's market place. Even professed Christians have taken part in this abominable practice following in the footsteps of the Roman Church.

The deceived Christians of Protestantism have even bought into the lie of deceivers who say they died and went to heaven or hell. These false brethen have even wrote books and have had movies made describing their afterlife experiences. These liars have even profited off this deception as they have money hand over fist due to their lying stories. The book and movie "Heaven is for real" is a perfect example of the dangers of spiritualism (natural immortality of the soul). A little boy claimed he died and went to heaven and his dad took his story and went nationwide with it and wrote a book, a movie was made, appearances on Christian radio shows. Professed Christians the world over bought into this lie. Eventually the child grew up and told the truth that this was all a lie. The damage had been done and the Father of this child made a lot of money off this disgusting lie. Satan used a child to deceive professed Christians with the lie of the natural immortality of the soul.

While the nominal Churches of Christendom have rejected Jehovah's Holy Sabbath day they have embraced Rome's pagan feasts. One of the main reasons for this rejection is the lie that the  Sabbath is a bondage. Yet these same Christians will bend over backwards to celebrate Xmas and easter and even halloween. Sometimes even getting into debt buying presents. Although most Christians of Protestantism don't keep Sunday as a Sabbath they do celebrate Sunday as the day for corporate worship. By doing this they pay homage to the Roman Catholic Church who has said that Sunday is their mark of authority. These Protestants will even say that Sunday is the Lord's day and say that the Sabbath was for the Jews only. These Protestants thereby show their loyalty to Rome and it's Pope by disregarding the true day of worship and rest which is the Seventh-day of the week.

Mark 2:27-28 (KJV)

27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:

28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

The Sabbath was given to man as a day of solemn rest and communion with Jehovah and His Son Jesus. The lying denominations say it was only for the ethnic Jewish nation.

Infant baptism is another false doctrine promoted by some mainline Protestant denominations.

Acts 8:36-38 (KJV)

36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

The above passage clearly states that the  requirement for baptism is to believe with all your heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. This belief is an impossibility for a baby or toddler. Yet many Protestants practice this heresy and by doing so show their allegiance to Papal Rome. Many Christians in the past were killed for following the biblical method of baptism. Protestants and Catholics alike participated in these persecutions.

Eternal torment is the sister of the natural immortality of the soul. This abominable doctrine has cast Jehovah as a torturing tyrant. Satan created this lie to deceive the world into looking at Jehovah and His Son as unjust. It's a doctrine that has contributed to many rejecting Christianity.

 Ecclesiastes 9:5 (KJV)

5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

The Protestant Churches have ignored clear scripture on the state of the dead. They have promoted the lies of Mystery Babylon that teaches that Satan rules over a spiritual underworld of torment. These so called Churches have helped poison the world with this false teaching as movies are made, books are written with fanciful tales of the afterlife where people are tormented. This heresy has even been used as a scare tactic by Churches to keep their parishioners in line and beat them into blind submission.

The promotion of the Eucharist in Protestant Churches is increasing and some of the mainline Protestant denominations have perpetuated this doctrine ever since they left Rome. Their are different variations of the Eucharist promoted by these apostate Churches but nonetheless they all borrow from Mama (Catholicism). The apostate Churches have tried to incorporate a mysticism into the memorial meal some even borrowing parts of the transubstantiation where it is said the bread and wine literally become the blood and body of Christ. The scripture is clear that the communion meal is a memorial of Christ's death.

1 Corinthians 11:24 (KJV)

24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

Another bitter taste of the false wine of Babylon is the teaching that Jehovah's law is done away with and that we don't have to keep it anymore after the cross. Due to a desire for convenience and a rebelious spirit, the Churches of Christendom teach that we no longer need to keep the commandments of God.  They even go so far as to say that Jehovah's commandments are a bondage. They actually speak evil of the law of God. They accuse Paul of allowing for the breaking of God's law. Their vilification of Jehovah's law is contrary to the testimony of the bible. Jesus Christ has the final word on whether the law of Jehovah is binding or not.

Matthew 5:17-19 (KJV)

17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus words should be terrifying for the pulpit preachers of Christendom. It couldn't be any clearer, those who break the least of the commandments and teach others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. Fulfill is from the greek word "pleroo" (strongs 4137) meaning to make full, to cause to abound, to render perfect, to carry out." We also fulfill Jehovah's law when we obey it (Romams 8:4). The preachers of Christendom pervert the meaning of fulfill  and say that means the law no longer needs to be kept. They will answer to our Jehovah and Saviour Jesus Christ for this blasphemy against the Father.

Heaven and earth have not passed away and so even the smallest part of the law continues to exist. Jehovah's word endures forever (1 Peter 1:25), including the parts that command His laws (Isaiah 40:8).

Isaiah 8:20 (KJV)

20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

This is what the bible says about those Pastor's who teach that it's okay to break Jehovah's law or that the law doesn't need to be kept.

Revelation 22:14 (KJV)

14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Look what Jesus says, those who do His Father's commandments will be allowed into heavenly Canaan and eat of the tree of life. Does this mean that those who don't keep the commandments of God will not enter into New Jerusalem? Jesus words certainly seem to indicate that. Why take a chance? Eternal life is at stake!!

Romans 3:31 (KJV)

31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

Many try to use Paul as an excuse for breaking Jehovah's law but look at what Paul says above. The greek word for establish is "histemi" (strongs 2476) and means "stand still, to erect, to cause or make to stand, to bid to stand by, to place, to set, to make firm, to establish, to be kept intact".

Get the point? Paul in no way was saying that faith makes the law void but to the contrary, he says that we "make firm, fix and erect and make to stand" the law.

Acts 28:17 (KJV)

17 And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

The above passage also reiterates that Paul did not teach against the law. He neither taught against the law nor broke it himself.

Another false doctrine of Babylon is none other than the trinity doctrine. This doctrine corrupts who God is and who His Son is and what the Holy Spirit is. Instead of a literal Sonship as the bible clearly teaches, the trinity doctrine teaches a metaphysical Sonship of Christ or as many modern trinitarian's teach, a metaphorical Sonship. Either viewpoint is blasphemous as they deny the literal Sonship of Christ. What does the bible say about who God is and who Jesus is?

Ephesians 4:4-6 (KJV)

4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Look at verse 6, the bible clearly teaches that there is one God not 3 gods or a 3 in 1 god.

Who did Jesus say was the one true God?

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.

Jude 4 (KJV)

4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Lord God (the Father) is the only Master God. Notice the distinction made between the only Lord God and the Lord Jesus Christ. We have two divine beings here, one is the Lord God who is clearly the Father and one is the Lord Jesus Christ His Son. The Lord God is called the only Lord God in this passage meaning He is the Master God and the only one. There is no trinity god as the Father is the Almighty only Lord God. The Holy Spirit nor Jesus are the only Lord God. Jesus is the only Lord God's Son making him fully Divine and God but not the only Lord God.  The Holy Spirit is the actual Spirit of the only Lord God and His Son.

 The greek word for only is "monos" and means "alone (without a companion), self, by (one's self), only, merely, destitute of help, forsaken".

Isaiah 42:8 (ASV)

8 I am Jehovah, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise unto graven images.

God declares that His name is Jehovah and that He will not give His glory to another. There is only one being that the Father shares His glory with and that is His Son also named Jehovah. The Father refrences false gods and their graven images. The trinity doctrine takes glory away from the Father and gives to a 3 in 1 god and also gives the Father's glory to "God the Holy Spirit". This robs the Father of worship that He deserves. The Father is the supreme ruler over all creation. He shares His glory of being the Supreme unbegotten, uncreated ruler of all creation with no one. Only the Father fits this description. The Son is the Father's only begotten Son and shares in His Father's glory as His Son. However,  as the Almighty eternal God, the Father shares that glory with no one including the philosophical idol known as the trinity god.

1 Corinthians 15:24-28 (KJV)

24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.

28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

This is another passage that destroys the pagan trinity doctrine as Jesus will turn the kingdom over to the Father at the end of the millennium and when the last enemy is defeated at the second death which is death itself after the second resurrection. Verse 28 says that the Son will be subject unto the Father so that God be all in all. The Father will be ultimate ruler of eternity once the millennium concludes. It will not be a trinity god ruling over us. It couldn't be because it clearly says that Jesus will be subject to God so that God be all in all. The Father is clearly the one spoken of here and not a trinity. The Father being the one true God harmonizes all over the bible.

1 Corinthians 8:6 (KJV)

6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

Paul makes it crystal clear that there is One God not 3 nor a 3 in 1 god. Paul identifies this one God as the Father.  Here, we also see the distinction made between the Father who is identified as the one God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Understanding the identity of the God of the Bible is crucial in these last days as it is the trinity doctrine more than any other doctrine, that is uniting the Protestant denominations with Roman Catholicism.

If the Protestant denominations would have kept on reforming and left the trinity doctrine where it belonged (Rome), then they would have had a near fail safe protection against being deceived into ecumenism with Rome. Many will fall away from the faith because of this doctrine. We know that our Father in heaven winks at ignorance (Acts 17:30) however, He then expects men everywhere to repent.

I truly believe there will be many trinitarian's who will be in the celestial city of God as they worshipped God according to the light they had, however in these last days with precious truths being restored there is no excuse to not be a Berean and stay in ignorance. The 144,000 will have pure worship before God and will not fornicate with the Churches of Babylon nor her false doctrines. In order to be among the 144,000 you cannot believe in nor worship a trinity god. This abominable doctrine is leading many astray and it is the chief doctrine that is bringing the Protestants, Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches together. All those part of this ecumenical movement will have mark of the beast or the name of the beast or the number of his name. The trinity is definitely part of the beast name, number and mark.

All of the false doctrines represented by "wine" here in the passage are the reasons for Jehovah's wrath being stored up against Christendom's Churches.

The Three Angels messages part 1

Revelation 14:6-12 (KJV)

6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

The Three angels messages are the final warnings to go out to the world. It is called the everlasting gospel. When most Christians today speak of preaching the gospel they don't think of these three messages. Many even think that preaching the gospel is narrowed down to "Jesus loves you" and "grace". While these are true in and of itself, most modern churches have perverted what "love" and "grace" are. Never does warning of Jehovah's judgment enter into the discussion as being part of the gospel.

Matthew 24:14 (KJV)

14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

The Three Angels messages are part of the gospel of the kingdom. These three messages will preached unto all the world and then the end will come. Unfortunately the majority of Christendom refuses to preach these messages out of fear of being hated by the world. Even Churches that claim to have these three messages as their prophetic gift have largely done away with preaching them and have even persecuted those in their congregations who preach them.

These messages were starting to be preached during the Advent movement of the mid 1800's. If the preaching of the Three Angels messages was timely back then, how much more appropriate is it to preach them now? It is absolutely appropriate given the healing of the antichrist (papal Rome) deadly wound and the state of this world. Let's look at the passages here in the Three Angels messages and discern their meaning.

Verse 6, This message is to be preached unto the whole world and it is called the everlasting gospel. This is not the satanic "love" gospel that has swept up Christendom but rather a gospel of solemn warning. Don't get me wrong, love is an essential part of the Three Angels messages it's just not the false lawless love that the Churches of Christendom preach and teach. What's the love that is preached in the Three Angels messages? Let's let scripture answer that!

1 John 5:2-3 (KJV)

2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

You cannot separate love from God's commandments. Today's Babylonian Church system teaches a false satanic love that tells you that you don't have to keep Jehovah's Royal Law. This false perversion of love is the very reason the Three Angels messages need to be preached. True love for God and our neighbor is when we keep the commandments.

Verse 7, the first angels message calls those who dwell on the earth to fear God and give glory to Him. Most Churches avoid the word "fear" like a plague. But that's exactly what the first angel is calling people to do which is to fear God. Do you see how the perverted love gospel has deceived people so bad that they can't even use words that are in the bible? The word for fear in the greek is "phobeo" (Strongs 5399) which means "to frighten, to be alarmed, to be in awe of, to revere: be sore afraid, fear (exceedingly), reverence."

The reason for the call to fear God is because the hour of His judgment is coming. The day of Jehovah is called great and terrible. Those in the world need to be sore afraid, alarmed and frightened of the judgments of God to come and then show reverence and awe towards God and repent. So many in the pulpits in Christendom are watering down the fear of God and telling their congregants they don't have to fear Him. Even Churches that have this message are watering down the serious call to fear God. The people that fail to heed this call will be frightened and sore afraid at the judgements that God pours out on the wicked. The Judgement hour is now and has been since 1844 when the cleansing of the sanctuary commenced.

We all will be before the bhema seat of Christ before probation closes. The final wrath will be poured out after probation for sinners closes. Even now judgements have been given to the earth. The final wrath poured out will be devastating and men will tremble as those who are in labor.

We also see in this first angels message a call to worship God. The greek word for worship is "proskuneo" (strongs 4352) and means "to fawn or crouch, i.e. prostrate oneself in homage (do reverence to, adore): - worship". The true understanding of worship is key in these last days. Many falsely believe that to worship someone or something you have to literally bow to them and proclaim they are God. While that is part of worship, it also is as simple as paying someone reverence and homage and fawning over them. Many in the last days will worship the Papal antichrist believing that they are not really worshipping him, but rather simply honoring him. Honouring a person is not a bad thing in and of itself, but honouring a person who claims the titles that only belong to God and His Son is high treason against the Most High.

If we are going to preach the Three Angels messages it is vital that we tell the world to worship the right God. How do we know what God to tell people to fear? Who is God? Let's go to scripture to find out the identity of God so that when we give the Three Angels messages we are telling people to fear the God of the Bible and not a strange god.

Revelation 7:2-3 (KJV)

2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

The seal of God will be given to the 144,000 Saints before probation closes. What is contained in this seal? Let's go to Revelation 14 and see, because the answer of who is the living God is contained in that passage.

Revelation 14:1-4 (KJV)

1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.

2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:

3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

Verse 1 gives us the answer as to what is written on the foreheads of those who receive the seal of God. It is the Father's name. This must mean that the Father is the living God. Noticeably absent is the trinity god. Many in today's Churches teach that the living God is a trinity. Scriptures clearly contradicts this notion. Some versions render the verse "His name and His Father's name". This is acceptable as well because the Father and Son bear the same sacred name "Jehovah". The Father is the original Jehovah and the Son was begotten from Him and inherited His Father's name. Salvation is found in calling on the name of Jehovah i.e. Joel 2:32, Acts 2:21, Romans 10:13. The name Jesus means the "Salvation of Jehovah".

To further prove that the living God is the Father let's look at a couple of scriptures.

Matthew 16:13-20 (KJV)

13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

Peter tells Jesus that he believes he (Jesus) is the Son of the living God. Jesus then tells Peter that his (Jesus) Father in heaven revealed this to Peter and not flesh and blood. When we acknowledge the Father to be the living God and not the trinity, according to Jesus it is the Father who revealed this to us.

Jeremiah 10:10 (ASV)

10 But Jehovah is the true God; he is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembleth, and the nations are not able to abide his indignation.

The Father is Jehovah, the living God of the old testament as well as the new testament.

Hebrews 9:14 (KJV)

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?

Christ offered himself up to God so that we can serve the living God who is His Father and our Father.

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.

Jesus calls His Father the only true God.

Matthew 26:63-64 (KJV)

63 But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.

64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

From this exchange with the Jews, Jesus affirms His Sonship of the living God. It is clear from this passage that the living God is the Father.

Acts 3:13 (KJV)

13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.

A very revealing pasaage here, Jesus is revealed to be the Son of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

It is crystal clear from the passages above that the Father is the living God and hence the God that we need to tell people to fear, worship and glory when we preach the Three Angels messages. Many today in the SDA GC Churches are not giving glory to the Father and instead focus all glory on the Son and some even the Holy Spirit. They are not truly preaching the Three Angels messages. The greek word for glory is "doxa" and means "dignity, glory(-ious), honour, praise, worship. We are never to told to give glory to a trinity (Doxology).

The last part of the first angels message is very key in understanding the controversy in these last days between the Israel of Jehovah and Babylon. Notice the verbiage "worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters."

The call to worship God is a call to worship the God who created heaven, earth and the sea. Where do we find this language in scripture?

Exodus 20:8-11 (ASV)

8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work; 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath unto Jehovah thy God: in itthou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:11 for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Jehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

 The Sabbath commandment contains the same language as does the first angels message in regards to the creation of God. In fact the Sabbath commandment contains the seal of God:

Name: Jehovah
Title: Creator
Territory: Heaven, Earth and Sea and all that in them is.

This language is used elsewhere in regards to the God of the worlds.

Acts 4:24 (KJV)

24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:

The apostolic Church raises their voices in praise to the Lord (Jehovah) God who created heaven, earth and the sea and all that in them is.

Israel in the old covenant and Israel in the new covenant (the Church) all inherently identified Jehovah with the creation of heaven, earth and sea. They knew the memorial that commemorated Jehovah's creation was the Seventh-day  Sabbath. The early Christian's safeguarded the Sabbath as they knew it was their Creators consecrated day of rest. As Christianity spread and lost much of it's Hebrew roots the Sabbath was lightly regarded by many however there were always Christians that preserved the true Holy day.

Below is some food for thought in relation to the Seventh-day Sabbath of Jehovah which seems to have an important place in this last days controversy between the Israel of Jehovah and Babylon the Great.

THE PAPACY'S ADMISSION TO
CHANGING JEHOVAH'S ROYAL LAW

From Peter Geiermann's Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine and read the following on page 50:

Q. Which is the Sabbath day?

A. Saturday is the Sabbath day.

Q. Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?

A. We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday.

A man wrote a letter to the then famous James Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore, and asked if the Catholic church did, indeed, change the day of worship from Saturday to Sunday. The Cardinal replied, "Of course, the Catholic church claims that the change was her act. And the act is a MARK of her ecclesiastical power and authority in religious matters."

The following words are from The Catholic Record of London, Ontario, Canada, September 1, 1923: "Sunday is our MARK of authority...the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact."

Jesus truly is the Son of God!

Acts 9:18-20 (KJV)

18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.

20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.

This passage from Acts 9 follows Paul's heavenly vision of Jesus Christ. Post resurrection, very few have had the pleasure of direct visions of Christ. Paul is one of them.

In verse 18, we see that scales fell from Paul's eyes, previous to this Paul was not only temporarily physically blinded but he had been spiritually blinded as well as he persecuted "the way". Notice that once Paul received his sight he was baptized. Remember the requirement for baptismnis confession that Jesus is the Son of God (Acts 8:37, 1 John 4:15) and repentance from sins. Paul must have done both before being baptized.

Verse 19, Paul is strengthed and also fellowshiped with the disciples at Damascus. Paul was anointed for the ministry straight away and was anointed by Christ. Many men and women go to seminaries to learn more about the bible and yet they come out more confused. They end up complicating and making void the word of God. Seminaries are man's way of estimating someone being anointed. Jehovah's way is different. Remember, the Holy Spirit is our teacher not man. We can learn from man but ultimately it's the Holy Spirit that guides us into all truth. Only God and His Son can anoint someone to preach the gospel, seminaries are a tradition of man.

Verse 20, Paul's first sermon was preaching that Christ is the Son of God. This is the result of being anointed by Jesus to preach the gospel. The evidence of being anointed by Jesus is preaching that He is the Son of God. When men and women attend seminary and get their degrees they come out preaching another Jesus, a trinity or tri theistic Jesus who is one third of a trinity god. Why is this? Because they still have scales upon their eyes. They need a fresh revelation from Jesus Christ in order to know His true identity. Many will not have the scales removed because they trust in their religious education rather than the leading of the Holy Spirit. Paul said to follow his example as he follows Christ. Paul did not teach a trinity Jesus but he taught that Jesus is indeed the Son of God.

Entrance into the Kingdom of Jehovah necessitates a confession that Jesus is truly the Son of God. Unfortunately most denominations don't require this of potential converts and instead baptize them into a denomination and confessing that God is a trinity along with other man made requirements. Would the apostle Paul approve of modern Christendom's denial of Christ's literal Sonship? Would Paul approve of the false heretical teaching that Jesus Sonship is metaphorical? I can confidently say "No", Paul didn't preach that Jesus is the eternal Almighty God but rather that He is the Son of the eternal Almighty God.

Do you trust the words of Paul who had a direct revelation of Jesus or the words of men and women who have gained their education about Christ at spiritually dead seminaries?

I'll go with Paul and believe and preach that Jesus truly is the Son of God!!

The Spirit of Jehovah is Holy

The Spirit of Jehovah God - The Holy Spirit is the actual divine Spirit of God. It was Jehovah's very own Spirit that was involved in creation not another divine being. The Holy Spirit is the mind, breath and power of God.

Genesis 1-2 (ASV)

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

As we can see by the phrase "Spirit of God" there is no way this is another being as the Spirit but rather it is God's actual divine Spirit. The phrase "Spirit of God" denotes possession meaning that the Spirit belongs to God himself and is not a seperate being (tri theism) nor a seperate person (trinitarianism) apart from Him.

1 Corinthians 2:11 (KJV)

11 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.

This passage above proves without a doubt that the Spirit of God is within God Himself and not a third being that exists outside of God's being. The Holy Spirit is God's Set Apart breath, power and mind. Just as no one truly knows what makes us tick as individuals save our spirit which is our mind, no one knows the things of God save God's very own Spirit which is His mind. The blessing is that we as Christians can know the things of God as we have His Spirit dwelling in us. Do you see what this passage is saying? The Spirit (Holy Spirit) is the very mind of God.  This eliminates the false teaching that the Holy Spirit is a third being (tri theism) or even a hypostatic person (trinitarianism). In fact, the very definition of the word for Spirit in the greek "Pneuma" means "mind, breath and wind".

Job 33:4 (KJV)

4 The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

Jehovah breathes His Spirit into us at conception so that we have life. It's God's very own Spirit that makes us. He breathes His lifeforce (Spirit) into our bodies (dust) and we are then made living souls.

John 4:24 (KJV)

24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Jehovah is a Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the very presence of Jehovah God. It is not another being. Jehovah is everywhere present by His representative the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is an extension of Jehovah's very being. Remember, our Father in heaven is a personal being not a floating substance. Jehovah's Spirit is how He is omnipresent. The bible says we are to worship God in spirit and in truth. Worshipping God as a trinity is not worshipping Him in spirit and in truth. Worshipping God as the Father is worshipping Him in spirit and in truth. We also worship and honour His Son Jesus as we are told to do and this also is worshipping God in spirit and in truth.

Isaiah 11:2 (ASV)

2 And the Spirit of Jehovah shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah.

The passage above is a prophecy of the coming Messiah. Note that it is the Spirit of Jehovah that rest upon Jesus. Again the phrase "Spirit of Jehovah" denotes possession meaning that it is Jehovah's very own Spirit not a third divine being. Jehovah's Spirit is one of wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge and fear of Jehovah. These are the very qualities of God given to us when we are given His Spirit. Jesus was given the Spirit without measure at his baptism.

Isaiah 61:1 (ASV)

61 The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me; because Jehovah hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

The Spirit that was upon Jesus which anointed him to preach the glad tidings was His Father Jehovah's very own Spirit not a third divine being. This harmonizes with Isaiah 11:2. It was the Father's Spirit in Jesus and upon Jesus that empowered him to mend the brokenhearted and to set those in bondage free. We need to stop giving the credit of the Spirit to a third divine being and give it where it belongs which is to the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit is the essence and core of the relationship between the Father and the Son.

Matthew 28:19 (KJV)

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

All three powers will be needed in our Christian walk in order to overcome the world. The Father is the one true God, the Son is exactly that, the Son of the one true God and the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God and Christ (Father and Son). Very simple and biblical, no need to stretch this into a hypostatic 3 in 1 god or a tri theistic pantheon of 3 gods.

The Foundation of Christianity- Part 1

What is the foundation of the Church? Most Christians would readily say Jesus Christ without hesitation and they would be right at least superficially. However there are truths about Jesus and his, identity that tell us clearly what the foundation of Christianity and the Church is. Did you know that almost all denominations don't preach or teach what the true foundation of the Church is? You might be confused by that statement. As noted above, most Christians will readily say Jesus is the foundation of the Church.

So what gives? Let's look at a few of the denominations and see what the foundation of their Churches are in regards to how they present the gospel of our Jehovah Jesus Christ.

Reformed Churches - Emphasis on John Calvin and his systematic theology of Calvinism, they also teach Jesus as the second member of a trinity god.

Lutheran Churches - Emphasis on Martin Luther and his teachings on Justification by Faith. They also emphasize the eucharist meal. They teach that Jesus ia the second member of a trinity god.

Anabaptists - Emphasis on insular communities with little modern amenities, pacifism, outward piety, social gospel, they also teach that Jesus is the second member of a trinity god.

Jehovah Witnesses - emphasis on the divine name "Jehovah", anti nationalism, authoritarian leadership, anti holidays, promotion of Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, they teach that Jesus was created by Jehovah and almost eqaute him to an angelic being.

Roman Catholicism - emphasize Mary the Queen of heaven, eucharist meal, Mass, pagan holidays, veneration of dead saints, praying for and to the dead, hierarchical church government with adoration of the Pope as an almost god like figure, other various sacraments, celibate preisthood and Nunery. They teach that Jesus is the second member of a trinity god.

Church of Latter Day Saints - emphasis on Joseph Smith their prophet, emphasis on the book of Mormon, baptism for the dead, they teach that Jesus was a Spirit brother of Lucifer and that he came into existence due to sexual relations between Elohim and Mary.

Dispensational Churches (Calvary Chapel, Four Sqaure, Assemblies of God- Emphasis on Geo-Political Israel as God’s chosen nation and ethnic Jews as God’s elect. Heavy involvement in politics, supports right wing conservative Republicans. Secret pre Trib Rapture, complicated teaching of several dispensational ages. They teach that Jesus is either the second member of a trinity god or the second member of a tri theistic god.

Pentecostal Churches - Emphasis on signs and wonders most notably speaking in babbling tongues. Also believe in secret pretrib rapture and dispensational theology. Emphasize emotional experience over sound doctrine. Some teach oneness doctrine of Jesus being the Father, Son and Holy Spirit (modalism), most teach Jesus as the second member of a trinity god.

Seventh-day Adventist General Conference churches - Emphasis on end times prophecy, vegetarianism, healthy living, emphasis on salvation being dependent on Church membership, heavy emphasis on the Sabbath. They teach that Jesus is the second member of a tri theistic god.

These are just some of the denominations/church movements of Christendom. Some of the above teachings of these denominations are good and some are downright heretical. However, not one of them teach and preach the very foundation of the Church which Jesus said the gates of the grave would not prevail against.

So what is this foundation of the Church? The answer is easy, so easy that the devil has deceived most of Christendom and their eyes are veiled to this simple yet beautiful truth.

Matthew 16:13-20 (KJV)

13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.

Peter makes the declaration that once and for all determines the foundation of Christianity. When Jesus asked the disciples, who do men say that I am? They responded with a number of speculations. When Jesus turned to them for their view, Peter answers "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."

Notice Jesus response to Peter, "Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven."

When we truly believe that Jesus is the Christ (anointed one of Jehovah) and the Son of the living God, then that means the Father has revealed it to us. So many today in Christendom have lost sight of this and refuse to believe that Jesus is the literal Son of Jehovah God. They preach another Jesus and the implication of their denial of the literal Sonship of Christ is that the Father has not revealed to them the truth. Flesh and blood has revealed to them "another" Jesus. Whether it is a trinity Jesus, tri theism Jesus, Unitarian Jesus, a created Jesus, a Jesus who is all 3 (oneness), it denies the literal Sonship of Christ. The bible is very clear and very serious about denying the literal Sonship of Christ. We will get to that later. Let's continue looking at this passage.

In verse 18, Jesus tells Peter that upon this rock the Church will be built upon. What rock was Jesus talking about? The word for "Peter" in the greek is "Petros" and means "a piece of a rock". However this isn't the rock Jesus was talking about, when Jesus uttered the words "upon this rock" he didn't mean Petros "Peter" as the greek word for "rock" is "Petra" and means "a mass of rock". So in this verse there are two rocks mentioned, the first one is Peter (Petros) and the second one is rock (Petra). So the Church was not to be built upon Petros (Peter) but rather upon Petra (Rock) which is Jesus Christ. Jesus was talking about himself being the Petra (rock) that the Church would be built upon.

Most Christians would have no problem acknowledging Jesus being the Rock (foundation) of the Church. However it isn't just that Jesus is the foundation of the Church, it is a divine knowledge of His identity that is the rock that the Church would be built upon. It is Peter's confession that is the rock upon which the Church would be built. His confession is that Jesus is the Christ and the Son of the living God. Most of the Church has the first part right, however they error badly on the second part which is that Jesus is the Son of the living God. This Jesus rarely gets taught in the Churches of Christendom. When is the last time you heard a message from the pulpit about the Sonship of Christ? It almost never happens. Why is this?

Because the Churches have left the foundation that Jesus affirmed, which is His Sonship. They removed the Sonship of Christ as their foundation and instituted a faulty foundation built on sand called the "trinity" doctrine. The proof of the trinity doctrine being a false foundation is the confusion it has generated in the world of Christendom. You can ask 10 Christians to explain the trinity doctrine and you could easily get 9 different versions explained to you.

Why is this? It's because the trinity doctrine is convoluted and unbiblical. It breeds confusion and remember Jehovah isn't the author of confusion. The word for confusion in Hebrew and Greek is "Babel", "Babylon". Remember in Revelation 17, it says the Great Whore has "Mystery" written on her forehead. If the Great Whore is the Catholic Churh then it makes sense that the doctrine she claims as hers is called a "Mystery". Catholicism and Protestantism call the trinity doctrine "the Mystery".

1 Corinthians 14:33 (KJV)

33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

By theologians and pastors own admission, the trinity doctrine is impossible to understand and explain.

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.

The Catholic Church admits the trinity as their central doctrine from which all other doctrines come from. Let's get back to the text in Matthew 16:13-20.

So, we know that Jesus says that Peter's confession that Jesus is the Christ and the Son of the living God is the Rock that the Church will be built upon. What does Jesus say in verse 18 about the Church that is built on this Rock, that Jesus is the Son of God? Jesus says something very telling and encouraging to those of us who believe in the literal Sonship of Christ. Jesus says:

"and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it"

Wow! A powerful statement from our Jehovah Jesus Christ. The gates of hell may prevail against Babylon and her harlot daughters who have all abandoned the Rock of Christianity which is that Jesus is the Son of God but it won't prevail against the true Church. This true Church believes that Jesus is the Son of the living God. Is it any wonder that this precious truth is being restored in these last days whereas many of the trinitarian Churches are joining the ecumenical movement which is led by the Catholic Church. It only makes sense that the trinitarian churches are going back to Rome as that is the Church that gave birth to the trinity doctrine as we know it, circa 381 AD.

Let's look at what John the beloved disciple says about those who believe in the Sonship of Christ:

1 John 4:15 (KJV)

15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

This passage goes along perfectly with what Jesus told Peter in Matthew 16:17 when Peter confessed Jesus Sonship:

"for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven."

It's very simple, those who confess that Jesus is the Son of God have been revealed this by Father. They also have the Father dwelling in them which is the Holy Spirit. According to Jesus and John, those then who don't believe and confess that Jesus is the Son of God don't have the Holy Spirit dwelling in them. Very sobering when you think about it as most of Christendom denies the literal Sonship of Christ. When they say that Jesus is the Son of God they don't really mean it. Many believe it is just metaphorical (tri theism) or they believe He is the Son of God in some mysterious eternal generation from the Father and that He is consubstantial with the Father as one being (trinitarianism). These concepts are huge error and deny Christ's literal Sonship. There are other errors taught about Christ such as he was created (Jehovah Witnesses) or not pre existent and His origin was at Bethlehem (Unitarian).

The errors taught about Christ are numerous and we can on and on about them. The literal Sonship of Christ was what the apostles believed, the early Church and even many in the wilderness Church. The Seventh-day Adventist Pioneers restored the precious truth about the Sonship of Christ however deceivers came in the Church in the early 1900's and didn't spare the flock. As the Pioneers started dying off the trinity doctrine became more prominent in the Church. It appears that around 1930 we see the trinity doctrine start to take a more visible standing in the Church. Of course, many in the Church still held on the the beliefs of the Pioneers. In 1980, the trinity doctrine became the official Godhead teaching of the Church as it was added to their fundamental beliefs. Since 1980, the once remnant Church has steadily declined into apostasy. It is really in full blown apostasy minus a few present truth Churches. However, even those present truth Churches tow the company line when it comes to denying the literal Sonship of Christ. The Church is an entirely different organization than the one established by the Pioneers in the 2nd half of the 1800's. Ellen White prophesied this very thing:

"The enemy of souls has sought to bring in the supposition that a great reformation was to take place among Seventh-day Adventists, and that this reformation would consist in giving up the doctrines which stand as the pillars of our faith, and engaging in a process of re-organization. Were this reformation to take place, what would result? The principles of truth that God in His wisdom has given to the remnant church, would be discarded. Our religionwould be changed. The fundamental principles that have sustained the work for the last fifty years would be accounted as error. A new organization would be established. Books of a new order would be written. A system of intellectual philosophy would be introduced. The founders of this system would go into the cities, and do a wonderful work. The Sabbath, of course, would be lightly regarded, as also the God who created it. Nothing would be allowed to stand in the way of the new movement. The leaders would teachthat virtue is better than vice, but God being removed, they would place their dependence on human power, which, without God, is worthless. Their foundation would be built on the sand,and storm and tempest would sweep away the structure.

Who has authority to begin such a movement? We have our Bibles. We have our experience, attested to by the miraculous working of the Holy Spirit.We have a truth that admits of no compromise. Shall we not repudiate everything that is not in harmony with this truth?"

Ellen G. White, Selected Messages, Book 1, pages 204, 205.

Many in the Seventh-day Adventist Church lament over it's spiritual condition and wonder why it is apostasizing at an alarming rate. Many in the Church will cite everything from a lack of dress reform and health reform and the bringing in of spiritual formation and women's ordination. May I suggest something else? Let's go back to Jesus word's in Matthew 16:18:

"and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."

Remember what the Rock was that Jesus is referring to? It was Peter's confession as stated below:

"Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God"

According to Seventh-day Adventist General Conference doctrine, Jesus is not the literal Son of God. In fact, in their 28 fundamental beliefs, the call Jesus "God the Son" which is a term that is not in scripture and they don't call Jesus, the "Son of God" which is said of Jesus close to 50 times. Remember, it's Jesus as the Son of God that is the rock of the Church not Jesus as "God the Son".

The gates of hell are prevailing against the Seventh-day Adventist Church because they removed the Rock of the Christian Church as their foundation. They have put in it's place a faulty foundation known as the trinity or in reality the tri theist doctrine. Do you notice that all the trinitarian churches are falling like domino's in this ecumenical movement? Many are lamenting this and cite a multitude of reasons why, yet like the Seventh-day Adventist Church they are blind to the most obvious and real reason behind their apostasy. They deny the literal Sonship of Christ and have embraced Rome's Mystery doctrine. They either hold to trinitarianism or worse yet tri theism.

If these Churches would have held on the the truth about Jesus being the true Son of God, it would have been an automatic protection from uniting with Rome. Rick Warren himself identified the trinity doctrine as a reason why Protestants and Catholics should unite and hold hands. My brothers and sisters, do you see what is happening in the world of Christendom right now? Even moreseo than Sunday, the Churches of Christendom are finding common ground with each other based on their mutual belief in the trinity.

Why is the Seventh-day Adventist General Conference Church lacking the power of the Holy Spirit? Look at Jesus word's below in Matthew 16:19

"And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."

Remember, Jesus said this in reference to the Church that was built upon the rock. This Rock is Jesus Christ as the Son of the living God. Once a Church removes this Rock as their foundation they are no longer privy to having the keys to the kingdom and the honor of loosing and binding.

Is it any wonder the Churches of Christendom are devoid of life and spiritual morturaries!

The message of Jesus being the literal Son of God is essential to Christianity. The denial of this renders John 3:16 void.

John 3:16 (KJV)

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

The above scripture is arguably the most well known scripture in the world. Why is this? Because, it is most important scripture to give when evangelizing unbelievers. This is the scripture that is often seen in the crowd at sporting events. However, the importance of this scripture has been dramatically down played in evangelism efforts. Nowadays, many skip over this verse and tell people you have to believe in the trinity to become born again or that you have to believe Jesus is God Almighty himself to be accepted into the Kingdom.

Satan has used the churches to render the most beautiful passage in scripture almost null and void. This is the scripture that shows us how much the Father loves us. Yet, when you hear people evangelizing unbelievers the Father nary gets mentioned. This passage also shows the love that our Divine Saviour Jesus Christ has for us as he denied himself and went to the cross for us as a ransom sacrifice.

Many deceivers are claiming that begotten doesn't mean "born, brought forth, came out from" and they say it mean "unique". By doing this they deny the literal Sonship of Christ. What does Jesus beloved disciple John say about these false teachers?

1 John 2:18-26 (KJV)

18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.

21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.

25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.

26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.

Verse 22, John calls those who deny the Father-Son relationship of Jesus and Jehovah antichrist. Some may say "well, there is some truth in the trinity doctrine", What does John say about that in verse 21?

"that no lie is of the truth"

Did you read that? No lie is of the truth! So even though there is some truth in the trinity doctrine because it does have some error it is not of the truth. And in verse 22, these doctrines that have lies in it about Jesus and the Father are antichrist. In verse 23, John says those who deny the Son have not the Father. You can't have one without the other. You have to go through the Son to have access with the Father. The denial of Christ's Sonship is denying the Son thereby you don't have access to the Father.

Verse 24 is very revealing, John makes a clear statement that the original doctrine of the apostles that was taught to the Churches from the beginning, was that Jesus and Jehovah have a real Father-Son relationship. Look at his word's below:

"If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father."

Straight from the beloved disciple of Jesus!  The original doctrine of the apostles was the literal Sonship of Christ. As long as we hold onto this original doctrine? then we will remain in the Son and in the Father. Once we depart from it, all bets are off! Notice that we remain in two divine beings not 3. This verse is a real problem for trinitarian's and tri theist's. It is clear that the true Godhead teaching of the bible is that there are two divine beings which are a real Father and a real Son. Do you see why the Churches of Christendom have fallen so hard? It's because they have not let the original doctrine of the apostles abide in them thereby they are not remaining in the Son and in the Father.

1 John 3:23 (KJV)

23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

It is the commandment of Jehovah God that we believe on the name of His Son. This doesn't mean just to believe in the actual name "Jesus Christ", that is a big part of it, but also means to believe in the identity of Jesus name which is that he is the Son of God. See how Jesus is called God's Son in this passage? Are we to believe this is metaphorical? Does God play games with us and say things He doesn't really mean? Of course not! God cannot lie, either can His Son. If they both affirm their Father-Son relationship then who are theologians and pastors  to try and pervert this truth? Remember the word's in the book of Romans:

Romans 3:4 (KJV)

4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

A solemn warning for those who believe men over God:

1 John 5:9-13 (KJV)

9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.

10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

Do you see the pattern here? The Sonship of Christ is vitally important to Christianity  even moreseo that Jesus is God. Sadly many Christians today have esteemed the witness of men above the witness of Jehovah. How is this? Because they have trusted the theologians and pastors who say that Jesus isn't the literal Son of God and they have rejected the very word's of the Almighty God himself. These so called Christians make God a liar! A very serious offense. They believe their pulpit preachers instead, trusting man's wisdom over God's wisdom. Many are scared to rock the boat and go along to get along. Many others are so entrenched in their denomination that they just refuse to against anything their creeds teach. Some have been so indoctrinated with their denominations traditions that they can't fathom that their denomination could be wrong.

These people put their eternal life into hands of imperfect men instead of God who inspired His perfect word, the Holy Bible. The scriptures affirm the Sonship of Christ and the Father-Son relationship of Jesus and Jehovah. These scriptures were breathed by Jehovah's Spirit.

Even the requirement to get baptized necessitates that one confess that Jesus is the Son of God.

Acts 8:36-37 (KJV)

36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

This is how deceptive satan is, rarely do you hear in the Churches this confession being taught as the requirement for baptism. Sure they teach that you have to accept Jesus as your personal Saviour, but do they tell you which Jesus to accept? In fact, many times they require you to confess that God is a trinity in order to get baptized. This is outright unbiblical and is a tradition of man. Also, many churches add other requirements to get baptized such as membership in their denomination, agreement to keep the Sabbath and dress reform. However, these are all things that are to come after one gets baptized not prior to it. Adding these things is unbiblical. The only requirement for baptism is the confession that Jesus is the Son of God and repentance.

Do you see how Jesus being the Son of God is the root of our Faith?

John 3:17-18 (KJV)

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Prior to being sent into the world, Jesus. was God's Son. God had a Son to send. It's through the Son of God that those in the world can be saved. It's not through "God the Son" or any other of the false Jesus's that are preached throughout Christendom. Verse 18 says that "he that believeth on him is not condemned." Who is the person who is condemned? It's the person who has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God!

Do you see that Jesus name is inseparably connected to Him being the only begotten Son of God? This doesn't just mean believing in the actual verbiage of His name "Jesus", but also believing the character and identity of His name which is tied to His literal Sonship.

You must no only believe in the actual name "Jesus" but also in his identity as the only begotten Son of God.

The word only begotten comes from the Greek word "monogenes" and means "only born, sole child, only (begotten) child."

This means that Jesus is the only born child of God. Some will say this was at his birth in Bethlehem, however the scripture above clearly says that God sent His Son into the world. You see here in John 3:17, that God already had a Son to send into the world. This means that Jesus Sonship didn't begin at Bethlehem but in heaven in the ages of eternity as we know Jesus is preexistent. Let's look at John 3:16 again:

John 3:16 (KJV)

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Again, we see here that God had a Son to give to the world. Only begotten means "only born". If Jesus was already God's Son before being sent into the world then His being begotten "born" was in heaven in the ages of eternity. Jesus was the only begotten Son of God before being sent by God into the world. Let's look at an old testament passage that alludes to Jesus being brought forth from Jehovah in the ages of eternity.

John 5:17-25

John 5:17-25 (KJV)

17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.

21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

Verse 17-18, After Jesus tells the Jews that both He and the Father work on the Sabbath to serve and heal man, the Jews were even more aroused to harm Jesus because not only had He violated the Sabbath in their opinion, but He had made himself eqaul with God by stating that God was His Father. This passage is very revealing in that the Jews had an understanding that the coming Messiah would be God's Son and this Sonship would make the Messiah equal with the Father. Remember, the Jews considered themselves son's of God so if Jesus claim of Sonship was only metaphorical they would not have been offended at His claim of Sonship. They properly understood Jesus claim of Sonship as literal hence the statement that they took this as making himself equal with God. The Jews who claimed an adopted Sonship didn't consider themselves eqaul with God.

How is Jesus eqaul with God when other scriptures state that He is subject to God?
Because Jesus is the literal Son of God. His nature (DNA) is fully Divine as much as the Father's nature is. Jesus is equal in divinity to the Father. However in position of headship and authority, Jesus is subject to the Father. A human father begets a human son. God begat a divine Son. God could only beget from his own substance another divine being. A human father will always (in ideal situations-providing health and life circumstances) have headship over his son no matter how old his son gets and no matter how successful his son gets. The son gives his Father this respect and preference. A human father doesn't consider his son less than him just because he is older and has headship over him. A human Father esteems his son eqaul to himself as his son is a part of himself in DNA.

It pleases a human father to esteem his son as eqaul to himself. This doesn't mean the father doesn't have authority or headship over his son it just means that the father knows his son is eqaul to him as a person. Apply this same understanding to God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ. It pleases the Father to consider Jesus eqaul with himself as they are both made of the same divine substance. They could only be made of the same substance if they are a true Father and Son. It pleases Jesus to be subject to the Father in authority and headship just as it pleases a human son to give his father preference no matter how successful and old the son becomes.

Verses 19-20, Just as a human son learns from his father's example, Jesus learns from His Father. Jesus examples everything His Father does. Jesus explains his complete dependence on the Father. Jesus speaks of the Father's love for him and refers to himself as "the Son" denoting a real Sonship not a metaphorical one. Everything Jesus has done and still does he learned from the Father. Jesus is not an independent God as some doctrines teach but is dependent completely on the Father for everything.

Verse 21-23, Just as the Father raises the dead so does Jesus. The Father committed all judgment to the Son. We are to honour (revere, honour, value) the Son just as we honour the Father. Some denominations teach that we are not to worship Jesus and only worship the Father. This is absolutely false! The statement that "all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father" clearly teaches that we are to worship Jesus as we also worship the Father. We worship Jesus as the divine Son of God and we worship the Father as the Almighty God. Any worship we give the Son goes to the Father. We can even worship Jesus as our God because He is just that, our Jehovah and our God as Thomas confessed. Even the Father calls Jesus God. Of course, we know the relationship between Jesus and Jehovah and that the Father is the eternal Almighty God and Jesus is the Son of the eternal Almighty God. We should be able to call Jesus God without apology or explanation. We don't honour the Son any less than the Father. Jesus is not a lessor God as some denominations teach but Jesus is fully God and eqaul in divinity with the Father. Jesus was worshipped even as a baby. Angels worship him. What makes us think that we are exempt from worshipping Jesus? Only satan desires to have people think we can't worship Jesus.

If we fail to honour the Son just as equally as we honour the Father then ultimately we don't honour the Father. Jesus was sent by the Father to the earth. He didn't come independently.

Verse 24, Jesus states that those who hear his words and believe on the Father have everlasting life. Jesus didn't speak his own words but was given a commandment from the Father to speak. This shows the oneness of the Father and Son and that they are in complete unity with each other. You can't have one without the other.

Verse 25, the dead in Christ will hear His voice at the second advent. This shows that when we die we fall asleep and are in the grave awaiting the return of Jesus. Our souls do not fly away to heaven at death otherwise the statement, "The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live", makes no sense at all, how do the dead in Christ hear Jesus voice if they are already in heaven with him? This would mean they have split personalities, one in heaven as a disembodied soul and one in the grave as a dead soul.

Also, notice that when Jesus returns at His second advent he identifies himself as "the Son of God". Jesus is never called "God the Son" in the bible. This statement by Jesus also confirms that His identity as the "Son of God" is not a temporary identity that was for his earthly life, but that this is His permanent identity due to the truth that His Sonship is a literal one. Jesus was the Son of God before his incarnation, He was the Son of God during his earthly life and He is the Son of God now and He will be the Son of God when he returns for His saints and He will always be the Son of God.
