The Real Ghouls This Halloween?

"The real ghouls and monsters are the child abusers and rapists in our churches - the ones in cassocks and those that enable and defend them from the pulpit, and from behind closed doors in diocesan chancelleries and parish councils."

The Messiah Did Not Claim To Be God

Peter LaGaipa

The Jews would have thought Jesus was insane and would have left him alone had he been walking around saying he was God. Jesus had not been claiming to be God in the flesh and this is why the Jews never asked him at his trial if he was God in the flesh, but instead they asked him about what he had been claiming to be, which was the Messiah. Mark 14:61-62 records the High Priest asking “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?" And Jesus said "I am.” The High Priest tore his garments and said he deserved to be put to death when Jesus stated he was the Messiah. So we see that the Jews correctly assessed that Jesus had been claiming to be the Christ, and that Jesus indeed said he was the Christ, and also that the Jews thought his claim was worthy of the death penalty.

To The Trinitarians: Does "Only" Mean "Only"?

"And this is life in the age to come, that they know you, the only true God, and the one you have sent—Jesus Christ." John 17:3

"How are you able to believe, you who are always accepting glory from one another and are not seeking the glory that comes from the only God?" John 5:44

["For there is one God and one mediator between God and humankind, a man, Christ Jesus."] 1 Tim 2:5

(REV:) “the only true God.” This is similar to John 5:44 and is one of the many places that give good evidence that Jesus Christ is not God. When Jesus prayed and called God “the only true God,” he was simply acknowledging a truth that was clearly stated in the Old Testament: For example, Nehemiah 9:6-7 says, “You are Yahweh, even you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens with all their army, the earth and all things that are on it, the seas and all that is in them, and you preserve them all. The army of heaven worships you. You are Yahweh, the God who chose Abram” (cf. Ps. 86:10; Isa. 37:16; 43:11; 45:5). Yahweh is the Father and “the God,” the “only true God” that Jesus recognized and prayed to.

The Trinity, the doctrine that “God” is both three and one at the same time is mysterious, incomprehensible, and unbiblical. It is never described in the Bible and attempts to come close to explaining it have to use language that is not in the Bible. For example, that Jesus is said to be both “100% human and 100% God” is both unbiblical and self-contradictory. Also, the Trinity doctrine says there are three “persons” in the one God, but then Trinitarians are quick to state that “persons” does not actually mean “persons” in the ordinary sense, but then they cannot exactly define “person” in the Trinitarian sense. That is because a “person” is an individual, but the “persons” in the Trinity are not individuals in the ordinary sense, but are part of “the one God,” so they are persons but not persons at the same time.

Trinitarian Math

Trinitarians say that God is “one what and three whos,” but that is, as stated above, both incomprehensible and unbiblical. When we read the Bible, God always speaks of Himself as one being. He uses “I” and “me” and “my,” and never refers to Himself as an “essence” or “nature.” The same is true of Jesus. John 17:3 is clear, succinct, and understandable: God is “the only true God,” and He “sent” His Son, Jesus Christ, who is a human being (1 Tim. 2:5).

FROM Yahweh THROUGH Yeshua

 

Are you starting to see? There is One God - the Father - who is One person, not three. Yeshua is his anointed son and messiah who is sometimes referred to as god (small g), as was Moses, judges, angels and other humans. The small g - god - is a word used to reference those who represent and are empowered by THE GOD, the Father or Elohim.

God or god?

John 1:1 does not prove the Trinity. The verse says, “the Word was with God, and the Word was God”. If the Word was with God, then He cannot be the same person as the God He was with. Trinitarians often respond by saying Jesus and the Father are not the same person but the same being, yet the Bible never defines God that way. Scripture consistently identifies the Father Himself as the one true God, not a shared divine essence among three persons. Jesus said, “the Father..is the only true God” (John 17:3), and Paul wrote, “to us there is but one God, the Father” (1 Corinthians 8:6). John 1 distinguishes between God and the Word while showing that the Word perfectly represents God’s authority, nature, and power as His divine Son and agent. In Scripture, others can also be called “god” without being the Almighty Himself. Moses was called “a god” to Pharaoh (Exodus 7:1), judges were called “gods” (Psalm 82:6), and Satan is called “the god of this world” (2 Corinthians 4:4). Jesus Himself appealed to this principle in John 10:33-36 when the Jews accused Him of making Himself God. Instead of claiming to be the Almighty God, Jesus pointed to Psalm 82 and showed that Scripture could call others “gods” without making them the one true God. This shows that the title “god” can be used representatively for one who acts with God’s authority. Jesus is called God because He uniquely reveals and represents the Father, not because He is literally the same being as the Father. The “capital G God” argument is also weak because the Greek manuscripts had no uppercase or lowercase letters. The consistent teaching of Scripture is that the Father alone is the only true God, while Jesus is His begotten Son through whom He works and reveals Himself.

Jesus Said It. Why Don't You Believe It? Part 3

 

Cody Watters

Trinitarians make a distinction between “being” and “person.” They say being answers “what God is” (one divine essence), while person answers “who God is” (three distinct persons: Father, Son, Holy Spirit). So, in their view, God is one being but three persons, not three gods, but three “whos” sharing one “what.”

The problem is that this distinction is philosophical, not Biblical. Scripture never explains God using categories like “being vs person” or “one essence, three persons.” Instead, the Bible speaks clearly, the Father alone is “the only true God” (John 17:3), and Jesus is His Son, sent and dependent on Him. Turning God into one being with three persons introduces a concept foreign to Scripture and risks redefining plain language. In the Bible, a “person” is a being, not one third of a being, so saying three persons are one being creates confusion and goes beyond what is written (1 Corinthians 4:6).

Jesus Said It. Why Don't You Believe It? Part Two

 

Jesus said basically this same thing many times (cf. John 5:19, 30; 6:38; 7:16; 8:16, 28, 29; 12:49, 50; 14:10, 24). See Commentary: John 8:28, REV Bible and Commentary

...and yet you still believe that he is "fully God and fully man"- a concept not taught nor believed prior to the age of the ecumenical counsels called and supervised by pagan emperors.

NOTE: Even the holy spirit mirrors this truth: "But when it, the spirit of truth, comes, it will guide you in all the truth, for it will not speak on its own, but whatever it hears, it will speak, and it will declare to you the things that are to come." (See why the holy spirit is an "it" and not a "he": John 16:13, REV Bible and Commentary

Jesus Said It- Why Don't You Believe it?

"The Trinity [doctrine] tries to combine a set of verses into a framework the Bible never actually states. Scripture clearly teaches that the Father alone is the one true God (John 17:3; 1 Corinthians 8:6), while Jesus is His Son, sent by Him, dependent on Him, and subject to Him (John 5:19, 30; 14:28). Verses that call Christ “God” can be understood in an exalted or representative sense, just as others are called “gods” in Scripture (John 10:34-36), without making Him the same God as the Father. The Holy Spirit is consistently described as God’s power and presence, not a separate co-equal person. And simply listing the Father, Son, and Spirit together doesn’t prove a triune being. The consistent Biblical pattern is one supreme God, [Yahweh], working through His Son and by His Spirit, not a Trinity."
