Let Us Come Before His Presence With Thanksgiving, And Make A Joyful Noise Unto Him With Psalms - Part 2527

Jesus said, "I and My Father are one." (John 10:30) 

Making an observation may help to clarify this discussion. God fathered all His children in a son’s body saying that you must be born again of water and of His Spirit to be a member of the body of Christ. What is it that the scriptures say? He that has the Son has life. God was in Christ. Jesus said, "He that has seen Me has seen the Father, and know Him." (John 14:6-12)

Indeed, as Jesus stated repeatedly, I am in the Father and the Father is in Me.

Moreover, God explained His status numerous times when He dwelt here on earth. The Father sent the son to be the Saviour of the world. The Spirit of God was manifest in the flesh as a son. And all the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily in Jesus. Even more so, how many times did the scriptures state the Word was veiled in flesh, a body have you prepared for Me?

"He was in the world and the world was made by Him and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own and His own received Him not." (John 1:10-11) 

If we look at this from our own personal experience, we must recognize that God has given us a body. But in essence, you and I are spirits veiled in a body. Whether we are fathers or mothers, all of our children appear in the body of a son or daughter. To some extent, our word too was veiled in the flesh with all our fullness - whether as a son, father or spirit. The word within us required a body. The word manifest in a son or daughter's body. It is our spirit speaking through our body. The body without the spirit would be dead.

So, in reflecting upon our own life, are we three persons? These three persons co-existent, co-equal as the man-made religious institutions and creeds would have us believe. This, unfortunately, is the message advanced by trinitarians or triad believers who believe God had three heads, and they fight over who will be in authority when. And that you are indeed three distinct and separate persons but all in one. Does this even make sense? 

Of course not because we in one body have revealed ourselves as a son or daughter, husband or wife, father or mother, individual male or individual female. In these varying capacities, we voice our opinions and commentary in the same respective roles - as a son or daughter, husband or wife, father or mother, individual male or individual female - and all from the same body. But as one. Remember, God made us in His own image.

Another way to look at this is from the perspective of who is speaking? Isn't it your spirit life that was prompting you to speak? For the body could not live without the spirit. You and I accomplish all of this as a son or daughter in the flesh ,and yet we dare to think that God was incapable of revealing Himself to mankind in a like manner. Much learning has made them mad. 

The Lord Almighty had this to say. "I am the first, the last, the only God. There is no other God beside Me."

So, is there any other god? A trinity of three persons? A tri-une god? 

The very first commandment teaches us to -- "Hear O Israel, the Lord thy God is One Lord" -- in both Deuteronomy 6:4 and Mark 12:29-31) So why have we forgotten the very principles that God has taught us -- In the beginning, God. (Genesis 1:1) 

He has made all things when the earth was without form, and void -- the firmament, the waters divided into Seas, the fruit yielding fruit after his kind, and the two great lights -- the greater to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night. (Genesis 1:1-23) 

And yet, if we listen to the religious, they would have us believe )from the creeds, catechisms, traditions of men) that this same God who virtually spoke paradise into existence for our enjoyment, shedding His precious, holy blood so that we might have life, could not have done this by Himself. He needed two other gods beside Him. What do the scriptures state? To come out from among these heathen teachings so that He can receive you -- the One and Only God who willingly became our Saviour. (I Timothy 3:16; Colossians 2:9; Titus 3:4-7; Revelation 1:8, 11) 

Indeed, the Holy Spirit of God who was in the man Christ Jesus who loved/loves us so much that He laid down His own life as a son to birth us out of the house of Adam’s fallen race. Our Saviour. Jesus is His name. The name above every other name. (Philippians 2:9) The only name whereby we must be saved in this current dispensation of grace. (Acts 4:12)

Thus, whether He portrays Himself in the scriptures as a father, son or spirit, He is still (and always was) the one God over all who loves all who adore the Lord Jesus. He is the true light that enlightens every man and woman  that is born into this world.

"For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods, In His hand are the deep places of the earth; the strength of the hills is His also. The sea is His and He made it, and His hands formed the dry land. O come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord our maker, for He is our God and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand. Today, if ye will hear His voice, harden not your heart ..." (Psalm 95:2-8)

Peace to all who are in Jesus. Stand in the offering plate.
