This is sorta funny in away, not that it is funny because they do not see this wonderful truth, but the Trinitarians and also the Jesus only’s try to use the scriptures that I have listed below to show their belief. But neither one is right. The Trinitarians use these verse to make three persons Father, Son, Holy Ghost. And the Jesus only’s use these to make it look like that Jesus is God and again I say neither one of them is right.
Phil- 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
Colossians 1:19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell
1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
2 Cor 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Heb 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
John 12:45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
John 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
Once again let me say that these scriptures does not teach that Jesus is God as the Jesus only’s say neither do they teach that there is a trinity like the Trinitarians teach.
All of the above scripture are stating that Jesus was in the image of God not God himself. Jesus was in the likeness of God. It is just as you look in the mirror and you can see your image looking back at you. He had God’s character and conduct. He reflected God's character in His perfect life. You see Jesus, you see the Father, not that they were one but because Jesus had God’s way. I ONLY DO WHAT I SEE MY FATHER DO AND I ONLY SAY THE THINGS THAT MY FATHER SAYS.
Jesus was not God Himself. ONLY THE IMAGE AND THE LIKENESS OF GOD
LUKE 24:; 26. Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
Now I have shown this many times. When will you read it?
This clearly proves that Jesus suffered FIRST before he ENTERED INTO HIS GLORY.
If you ENTER INTO SOMETHING, then you were not already there. Jesus was not in GLORY when he was walking around here on earth in a mortal, corruptible body. Paul said it is SOWN = (burried) in weakness, It is RAISED IN POWER = RESURRECTIONS.
THIS IS THE GLORY.
Paul said it is sown in DISHONOUR; IT IS RAISED IN GLORY. (1Cor. 15: 43.)
Now if you wish to say Jesus' mortal, corruptible body which they burried is that GLORY, then go and tell Paul he LIED. HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT HE WAS SAYING.
Am I not the one saying what the Word says? Sure I am. Nowhere is it said that the first man Adam, = (humanity) was GLORY AND POWER THIS SIDE OF THE RESURRECTION.
If it was, what need did we have of a Saviour?
Tell me that; if it already is glory and power, why need a resurrection?
The GLORY which the Word was made, which dwelt among us, which we beheld, and still behold by faith, is THE RESURRECTED CHRIST.
This is the same one who walked up to God on his Throne and TOOK THE BOOK OF LIFE OUT OF GOD'S HANDS AND NOW HOLDS OUR REDEMPTION IN HIS OWN HANDS, THIS IS THE GLORY, THIS IS THAT POWER, THIS IS THAT RESURRECTED CHRIST.
JESUS BORE THIS CHIRST, THIS PERFECT SON OF GOD. BY HIS PERFECT, SINLESS, OBEDIENT LIFE AND HIS RESURRECTION.
You have no concept what took place there. But here is what took place; (Scripture; not my words)
Luke 24: 46. And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
Now this verse proves yet more that Jesus SUFFERED before he was RAISED to power and glory.
39. Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
Jesus said God is a Spirit. Here after his resurrection, he declares to them that he is NOT A SPIRIT; HE IS STILL FLESH AND BONES.
NOW THIS IS THE FLESH WHICH THE WORD WAS MADE. THIS GLORIFIED FLESH IS WHAT YOU SEE IN REV. 19 CALLED THE WORD OF GOD. NOT THAT WEAK, MORTAL FLESH WHICH MAN KILLED. THAT IS NO MORE.
NOW JESUS IS RAISED TO POWER AND LIFE, NOW TO RETURN NO MORE TO CORRUPTION. SO SAID THE MAN WITH THE KEYS, PETER. IF YOU THINK I AM WRONG, THEN GO TELL PETER HE LIED.
Matt. 28: 18. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth
(Why did you not read verse 18 when you read 19?)
Jesus here, after his resurrection into his GLORY, told them, ALL POWER is GIVEN unto me in heaven and in earth.
Get that? GIVEN TO ME. What? He is the eternal God, co-equal with God? and this power had to be GIVEN to him?
Explain. Also explain where the verse is which says Jesus, the second person in the God head is or was CO-EQUAL with God) I just never read that anywhere in the Book.
This GIVING OF THE POWER TO JESUS IS WHAT TOOK PLACE IN THAT THRONE ROOM WHEN THAT SLAIM LAMB WENT UP TO GOD SITIING ON HIS THRONE AND TOOK THAT BOOK INTO HIS OWN HANDS.
No, it is not as your carnal mind leads you to believe **** Jesus is NOT ANOTHER GOD; JESUS IS NOT IN COMPETITION WITH GOD.
Shows you have no concept of ONENESS. There is no competition; there is no jealousy; there is no conflict.
YES, NOW JESUS IS MY GOD; BUT ONLY BECAUSE HIS GOD SET IT THIS WAY. GOD THE FATHER SET HIS SON JESUS IN THE SAME PLACE OF POWER AND AUTHORITY AS
GOD HIMSELF HAS. JESUS IS NOW ONE WITH GOD. YOU HAVE NO CONCEPT OF WHAT THIS MEANS. ALL YOUR WORDS PROVE IT.
Take only what is WRITTEN IN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES.
Do not take anything anyone told you or tells you, UNLESS HE QUOTES YOU KJV SCRIPTURE SAYING WHAT THEY SAY.
I warn all of you, it is a dangerous thing to accept anything anyone says or said unless THEY CAN QUOTE IT FROM GOD'S BOOK. IF GOD DID NOT SAY IT, IT IS A BIG, FAT, DAMNING LIE.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT. IF YOU BELIEVE SOMETHING ELSE, YOU ARE SAYING TO GOD THAT HE IS A LIE AND YOU BELIEVE A MORTAL MAN.
Now you said that Jehovah, the LORD of the O.T. is Jesus of the new t. now if this be so. kindly explain by the Word of God HOW THAT ETERNAL SPIRIT, GOT INTO MARY'S WOMB, AND WAS BORN FROM A HUMAN WOMAN as a human baby.
HOW DID HE CROSS HIS OWN WORD WHICH HAD SAID ** GOD HAS NO BEGINNING OR ENDING; NO MOTHER OR FATHER; NO ENDING OF LIFE.
JESUS' LIFE ENDED AT CALVARY. He DIED and went into HELL FIRE. And you mean to try to tell us that is the ETERNAL GOD?
I am telling you, anyone who can believe this lie does not know God in any kind of way.'
You are putting the twisted words of a carnal minded man above the Word of God.
If God LEFT heaven, and got into Mary, and was born as Jesus, please tell me WHO WAS THAT SPEAKING FROM HEAVEN AT JESUS' BAPTISM AND CALLING JESUS HIS SON?
it is proven there that God was still in heaven; he had not left heaven. it is a big lie!!!!
This is so foolish no sensible person could believe such a lie.
I warn all of you, THERE IS NOT ONE WORD OF SCRIPTURE SAYING THIS LIE.
(Jesus himself proved that he is not the WORD when he said, my words are Spirit and they are life; then later after his resurrection, Jesus said, feel me and handle me and SEE (UNDERSTAND)-- that a SPIRIT hath NOT flesh and bone as you see me have. there. now that proves it. JESUS PROVED RIGHT THERE THAT JESUS IS NOT THE WORD; FOR THE WORD IS SPIRIT AND JESUS IS NOT SPIRIT. WHAT IS DIFFICULT ABOUT THIS TO SEE? I DO NOT SEE ANYTHING ABOUT THAT HARD TO GET.
If you would all read the word for just what the word actually says and quit adding to it you would see that I am teaching it exactly according to the written word. To call me wrong is to call the Word a lie, for I quote the Word exactly for EVERY THING I SAY AND YOU KNOW IT.
YOU HAVE KNOWN ME LONG ENOUGH TO ADMIT THIS. YOU WILL NOT FIND A SINGLE MESSAGE OF MINE WHICH IS NOT FILLED WITH QUOTED SCRIPTURE.
I do not add to it, take away from it, or change it and you KNOW IT.
Now where God said LET US make man in our image, this is NOT A TRINITY. Yes it is plural. but not trinity. God is a kingdom of many, many members. Not angels;; Spirit. God is many members. But not a trinity. not angels. God.
Jesus is NOT ONE OF THEM. Jesus said he was not and is not a SPIRIT. Jesus was and is a man. Angels are spirits. but not the God spirit.
God made man in his own image when he raised up Jesus from the dead.
This is the gospel TRUTH.
When the disciples saw Jesus walking on the water, they were frightened and thought he was a spirit. But he told them he is not a spirit.
After the resurrection, when he entered the room with them but not through the door, they were again frightened and thought he was a spirit. Again he told them HE WAS NOT A SPIRIT.
People, read this. Listen to the Spirit of truth. Jesus proved by these two instances, two witnesses that HE IS NOT A SPIRIT.
Jesus told the woman at the well, GOD IS A SPIRIT. The word was God.
Jesus did not say the Word is me, a man. Jesus said the Word was God.
Jesus said God is a Spirit. Jesus said My Word is Spirit; my Word is life.
Jesus said a spirit does not have flesh and bone as you see me have, after my resurrection; I am still not a SPIRIT; BUT THE WORD IS SPIRIT.
How can you find this difficult to understand?
We (all true Christians) are WITH CHILD, THE CHILD JESUS GROWING TO BE FORMED INSIDE US. WE WILL COME FORTH AT THE RESURRECTION AS CHRIST. CHRIST IN US. THAT IS HOW JESUS WAS THE VIRGIN WITH CHILD. HE HAD CHRIST INSIDE HIM. CHRIST WAS JESUS' PERFECT LIFE BROUGHT FORTH AT THE RESURRECTION.
DEAR, THAT RESURRECTED CHRIST WAS NOT MARY. IT WAS JESUS. JESUS BORE THAT MANCHILD, THE CHRIST. I DO HOPE ALL OF YOU CAN ONE DAY GET THIS GLORIOUS REVELATION.
CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY.
CHRIST IN JESUS, OUR ONLY HOPE. JESUS OVERCAME SIN IN THE FLESH, AND BROUGHT FORTH THE FIRST PERFECT SON OF GOD, IN GOD'S LIKENESS AND IMAGE, AT HIS RESURRECTION.
THIS IS OUR HOPE, TOO. To bring forth Christ inside us.
We are all ONE. We are all to bring forth Christ inside us. We are to come forth at the resurrection in the likeness and image of the resurrected Christ.
