Deep Things of God

We say God created heaven and earth and imply that He did it alone. We don't imply that Jesus was there with Him though we know Biblically He was in the beginning with God and all things were created by Him. Joh 1:1 'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God. Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.'


When we talk of worshipping our Creator with think singular and yet it's a falsehood- a Biblical falsehood. There were TWO in the beginning. By TWO all things were created. God said - Gen 1:26 'And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness...'


'Let us' Us. We don't use the word 'us' when we're talking singular. 'Us' implies more than one.

God- (Encyclopedia)

In Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, God is conceived primarily in terms of transcendence, personality, and unity. The Hebrew Scriptures present God as creator, and the created world is a product of God's will. Human beings are made in God's image. Thus, the Hebrew understanding of God is anthropomorphic (humanoid). God's primary attributes are righteousness, justice, mercy, truth, and faithfulness.

Christianity began as a Jewish sect, incorporating the Hebrew God and Jewish Scriptures. Jesus Christ was probably considered a prophet of God, but by the end of the 1st century, Christians viewed him as a divine being (see Christology). Although Christian theology speaks of the three "persons" of the Trinity, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, these are not persons in the literal sense, but three manifestations of one God.

That bit up there on God where it says Christian theology speaks of the 'three 'persons' of the Trinity, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit- these are not persons in the literal sense, but three MANIFESTATIONS of ONE GOD'. It's not true! We are so caught up in the ONE God that deeper thought into the whole Trinitarian issue seems wrong, yet when is the studying to know the truth ever wrong? Three manifestations of ONE God? That denies them the right to their individual Godhood. It does. They say' God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit and then they cap it off by saying stuff like 'NOT persons in the literal sense, but manifestations of ONE God'. Even as people we can have one common belief, one common goal but that does not strip us of our literal individual selves- yet we want to strip God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit of their literal individuality. We want to call them One God, three in One as if they are a mixture so combined they can never and have never and will never be separate Gods but one spirit-being posing as three manifestations - different manifestations for different situations. If they weren't separate literally why have an 'us' at all in the beginning when creation was underway? Jeremiah has this to say-


Jer 10:10 But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
Jer 10:11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
Jer 10:12 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.


Notice... 'the gods' plural that have not made the heaven and earth, even they shall perish. There are gods - plural that made the heaven and earth, but there are many more false gods who had no hand whatsoever in creation. If we do not agree that literal God the Father and literal God who become Jesus our Lord and Savior who eventually took on flesh becoming God with us Immanual, created all things but rather believe that ONE literal God created all things we are worshipping a false belief of God and it's so deceptive it's frightening.


To strip the Godhood from any of the three by rolling them up into one God, is wrong. They are one in purpose, one in belief, one in the unity of their ideals, their thoughts, their desires this is undeniable. But when Jesus said- John 10:30 'I and my Father are one.' And this- John 10:38 'But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.' Did He mean they were literally One Being? No, He couldn't have or how else could He also say this- Mark 15:34 'And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?' How could He be forsaken by Himself if He were literally One God with God, and not literally another being of His own, another God being, not one lesser than God at all. He was equal with God in all ways even though He'd taken on the flesh of humanity and chose to live in a state where He could be tempted and feel the fullness of the tempting power of Satan towards humanity. Php 2:5 'Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus Php 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God' He was God with us and He was always a separate being, a separate God from God the Father and God the Holy Spirit.


It takes a lot of thinking to really comprehend all this and understand there is a danger in believing the 'Trinity' as it was formulated by the Roman Catholic Church long, long ago and heldfast to by Protestantism because we can't deny God the Father, God the Son, or God the Holy Spirit, and if you say you're not because the way you understand it all just incorporates them all into one in the same way they meant us to understand it all- ask yourself if this is really true-- 'Although Christian theology speaks of the three "persons" of the Trinity, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, these are not persons in the literal sense, but three manifestations of one God.', and is that how you truly believe? Do you truly believe in ONE God, if so then you deny Jesus as God, you deny the Holy Spirit as God in their own right.


This is a whole lot to take in and a whole lot to think about and truthfully a whole lot more I need to understand. I will be studying this and praying for enlightment so that I may know only the truth. I don't want to get caught up in deception just because it's something held common as a belief by most people. The counterfiet mimics the truth so closely it's hardly discernible and I pray for understanding, for wisdom. May God bless us all as we continue to study and do more than surface study but delve deeply into the deep things of God.


By the grace and mercy of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ now and forever through His righteousness and not our own, through His perfect forgiveness and His cleansing blood.


Amen.
