My interviews with Sir Anthony Buzzard!

 

I Simon Brown, am sharing videos of my visit to see Sir Anthony Buzzard in London. 😊

He's a renowned biblical scholar and Unitarian Christian theologian who helped me uncover the truth about the Trinity.

As a former Trinitarian, I struggled to grasp the concept of God as three persons, only to discover it wasn't biblical after all. Meeting Sir Anthony was a turning point.

We debated for two years, and initially, I was determined to expose his "false teachings".

But his insights resonated with Scripture, and I eventually realized he was right – the Trinity isn't biblical.

He humbled me, showing me the truth.

I credit Sir Anthony with guiding me back to God's word.

His teachings on Jesus' nature and hell fire challenged my assumptions, but ultimately led me to a deeper understanding.

I'm grateful God sent him my way. 🙏

Would you like to know more about Sir Anthony's teachings or my journey?

Sir Anthony Buzzard's teachings focus on biblical Unitarianism, emphasizing God's unity and Jesus' role as the Messiah, as the literal Son of God in a physical sense.

He argues the Trinity doctrine emerged post-NT, influencing early church creeds.

Key points: - Jesus is the promised Messiah, not co-equal with God.

The Holy Spirit is God's active force, not a separate person.

The Trinity isn't explicitly mentioned in the Bible.

Early church fathers didn't uniformly believe in the Trinity.

His work challenges traditional views, encouraging a return to biblical roots.

1 John 1:1, the deception, false translations, and truth!

 

Trinitarians often interpret 1 John 1:1 as referring to John 1:1, linking it to Jesus as the logos. However, this interpretation is disputed. 

Berean Literal Bible 1 John 1:1:

That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we have gazed upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life--

1 John 1:1 actually refers to the apostles' firsthand experience with Jesus, emphasizing their eyewitness testimony. 

"That which was from the beginning" refers to Jesus' ministry and the apostles' experience with Him. - "We have heard, seen, and handled" highlights the apostles' direct observation of Jesus' life and miracles. 

This aligns with 2 Peter 1:16, where Peter asserts they were "eyewitnesses of His majesty".  

The focus is on the apostles' personal testimony, establishing the credibility of the message.

Another example of false practices in modern Christianity, Ash Wednesday!

This poster highlights the importance of remembering and appreciating God's sacrifice, but notes that many Christians have strayed from true teachings. 

Some criticisms include:  

1. Worshipping Jesus as creator, which is God's role alone Nehemiah 9:6'

2. Believing God gave Himself to be killed, contradicting John 3:16 

3. Ignoring biblical teachings that God doesn't change and is not a man or the son of man (Numbers 23:19) as jesus was a man and the Son of man  Daniel 7:13-14 (Matthew 20:28, Matthew 25:31)  

4. Breaking a commandment by worshipping Jesus as God Exodus 20:3 and Deuteronomy 5:6. 

The poster urges exposing these false teachings (Ephesians 5:11) and praying for those deceived, citing Jesus' words that many are called but few are chosen.  

Simon Brown. 

What I've noticed when I follow christ! -

I've noticed something as a Christian - when I walk upright, obeying God and His teachings through Christ, things tend to fall into place. 

But when I sin, things go awry. I've faced this dynamic throughout my early Christian life. 

It feels like God is calling me, showing me the benefits of following Christ, His Word, and His blessings.  

Now, I'm more mindful of sin, knowing I couldn't cope without God's blessings. 

When we genuinely follow God, we can be confident good things happen. 

My experience highlights the blessings and relationship with God that come from keeping His Word, emphasizing love, obedience, and divine intimacy.  

Some key verses resonate with this: - John 14:23 - "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him..." - Luke 11:28 - "Blessed... are those who hear the word of God and keep it" - 1 John 2:5 - "whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected"  

Having God and Christ means having everything, even with nothing in this world. 

Without them, we're left with nothing. 

I'd encourage you to invite God and Christ into your life and see the difference it makes 😊.

Why are Christians living in such poverty? Part 1.

Part 3: The deception and confusion of Colossians 1:16! End.

Colossians 1:16 says, "because in Him were created all things in the heavens and upon the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or lordships or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through Him and unto Him."  

Let's break it down 😊.  

1. *No mention of physical creation*: Paul doesn't mention planets, earth, atoms, galaxies, or living things like Genesis 1 describes. 

2. *Unseen authorities*: Paul focuses on invisible "thrones, lordships, rulers, authorities". 

3. *"In Him" ≠ Creator*: A better translation is "through Him", emphasizing Jesus' role, not as Creator, but as mediator (Hebrews 4:14).

4. *God creates, Jesus mediates*: Genesis 1:1-3, Romans 1:20, and Hebrews 11:3 attribute creation to God alone. 

5. *Paul's context*: Jesus' authority (Matthew 28:18, Daniel 7:13-14) and role as mediator (Hebrews 4:14, Philippians 2:9-11). 

6. *New creation*: Paul refers to God's new creation through Christ (Hebrews 1:2), not the original physical creation.  

Conclusion: Jesus wasn't the Creator, but was given authority and dominion by God after resurrection (Colossians 1:15, Ephesians 1:20-22). God works through Jesus, our mediator and High Priest.

7. Im making a crucial point about Colossians 1:16 😊. The phrase "in Him" or "through Him" (Greek: ἐν, en) implies Jesus is the agent or mediator, not the Creator.  

If Jesus were the Creator, Paul would've said "created by Jesus". The fact that he says (In or "through) Jesus" suggests a distinct role.  

This aligns with other passages showing Father God as Creator alone (Genesis 1:1, Isaiah 44:24) and Jesus as mediator (1 Timothy 2:5, Hebrews 4:14-16). 

My point is God not needing a mediator if Jesus were God Himself highlights the biblical distinction between God the Father and Jesus the Son.  

 ---Colossians 1:16. Jesus wouldn't need authority if he was God 😊. If he co-created or pre-existed with God, he'd already have it. The fact that he's given authority (Matthew 28:18) suggests a distinct role, not equality with God.

Here's a rewritten recap:

So, Paul's meaning in Colossians 1:16 becomes clear when we look at Matthew 28:18, where Jesus says, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me." This refers to Daniel's prophecy 7:13-14, where the Son of Man receives dominion, glory, and kingship.

Note, Jesus is (The Son of Man) revealing his humanity, and nothing about a pre-existing being.

God now works through Jesus, our mediator and High Priest (Hebrews 4:14). Jesus was given authority after resurrection (Colossians 1:15, Ephesians 1:20-22).

Paul's talking about God's new creation through Christ, for this age and the next (Hebrews 1:2). 😊

We know in Colossians 1:16 Paul is talking about God's new creation through Christ because if we go back to verse 13, Paul is referring to God's kingdom to come through His beloved Son 😊.

Part 2: The deception and confusion of Colossians 1:15!

Colossians 1:15 says, "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation." 

Let's break it down 😊.  

1. *Image ≠ Original*: An image is a copy, not the original. Jesus is the image of God, not God Himself. 

2. *Paul's wording*: Paul said Jesus is the image of "his God", not God. This aligns with 1 Corinthians 8:6, where Paul affirms the Father as the one true God alone. 

3. *Representation, not identity*: Jesus represents God's nature (Hebrews 1:2-3), like humans represent their parents. 

4. *No biblical contradiction*: If Jesus is God, it creates two Gods, contradicting passages like John 17:3 and Isaiah 44:24, in fact the whole Bible!

5. *Firstborn meaning*: Jesus is firstborn "over all creation" (Colossians 1:15) meaning "from among the dead" (Colossians 1:18), emphasizing His preeminence.  

6. His pre-eminence, superiority, supremacy, greatness, excellence, distinction, prominence, predominance, eminence, peerlessness, transcendence, importance.

7. Paul's point: Jesus reflects God's nature and is the first to receive a glorified body. If Jesus were God, Paul would've said so directly.

Next time: Colossians 1:16 – what's the truth about creation through Jesus?

Part 1. The deception and confusion of Colossians 1:15!

Many Christians are misled about God's word, just as Jesus warned of false prophets. 

The common view is that Jesus' title "firstborn of all creation" proves His divinity and pre-existence. 

But is this accurate?  

Paul's teachings contradict this idea. 

In 1 Corinthians 8:6, he affirms the Father as the only one true God alone. If Jesus pre-existed and created all things, it would clash with biblical teachings (Matthew 19:4-5, Genesis 1:27, Isaiah 44:24).  

Jesus and God never claimed joint creation. 

Scripture consistently shows God created alone (Genesis 1:27, Isaiah 44:24). Saying Jesus is God or co-creator raises questions about His true nature which makes a false christ and not the true man and Christ, but would be some kind of hybrid or an Angel.   

So, what does Colossians 1:15-16 mean? 

Join me next time as we uncover the truth about Jesus as the "firstborn" and what Paul meant by the creation through Him 😊.

Bible prophecies are unfolding, and the end times are near. 

Jesus outlined the signs in Matthew 24, and we're seeing them come to pass.  

1. *False Messiahs*: Jesus warned of false christs and teachers (Matthew 24:5). We've seen countless false religions emerge, including the trinity doctrine in the fourth century, 2 Peter 2:1 which denies Christ. 

2. *Wars and Rumors of Wars*: Conflicts have plagued humanity since Jesus' time (Matthew 24:6). 

3. *Nation Against Nation*: Famines, earthquakes, and wars continue to escalate (Matthew 24:7). 

4. *Persecution*: Christians face tribulation and hatred worldwide (Matthew 24:9). 

5. *False Prophets*: Deception is rampant, leading many astray (Matthew 24:11). 

6. *Lawlessness and Cold Love*: Moral decay and division characterize our era (Matthew 24:12).  

7. We're now in the era of the gospel being preached globally (Matthew 24:14). The end is near.  

The book of Revelation paints a dire picture: war, famine, and death (Red, Black, and Pale Horses). Could World War 3 be looming?  

The good news: those who follow the true Christ and leave false faiths will be saved. Repent, believe, and follow the true Christ to receive eternal life.  

The end is nearer than ever. Don't waste time – your soul is at stake.

Over 100 Questions, If you believe Jesus Is GOD?

Why are Christians living in such poverty? Part 3 End!

Part 1 here. 

Part 2 here. 

Welcome back to my final article: Why are Christians living in such poverty? 🌟

In Part 1, we saw heartbreaking poverty among Christians worldwide, struggling to afford basics. I wondered, what's going wrong? As Christians, we're promised God's guidance and blessings (Matthew 6:33). Yet, many struggle with poverty, especially in third-world countries.

In Part 2, I revealed MOST Christians are in false religions, not truly believing in the One True God and His One True Christ. They don't research or question their faith, leading to deception.

Now, in Part 3, I'll explain another reason why many Christians face poverty and i will share the good news!

The Bible teaches us to love God, obey His commands, and follow Jesus' teachings (Deuteronomy 30:16, Luke 11:28, John 8:31). It's simple: live without willful sin, do God's will, and walk uprightly (1 John 2:3).

Many Christians, especially those believing in the Trinity, are living in sin, breaking the first commandment (Deuteronomy 6:4, Mark 12:29). They believe God is three persons, not one.

Here's the good news: it's not too late to follow the One True God and His One True Christ. Leave sin behind, ditch false faiths, and believe in the true God. You'll see God's blessings!

Angel blessing a poor Christian.

"Life is what you make it." Do you want to continue in false faith and sin, or love God and receive His amazing blessings? God gave us free will – the choice is yours 😊.

Romans 6:23 Berean Literal Bible For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

A true Christian is a person who obeys Jesus teachings: John 8:31.

And those who obey Jesus teachings receive forgiveness if we should unwillingly sin and repent 1 John 2:1.

May The One True God through His One True Christ bless those who seek Him and obey him. Amen.

Part 2 of "Why are Christians living in such poverty?

"The Bible is clear: God is a merciful, loving Father who blesses us with everything we need (Psalm 128:1-6, Matthew 7:7, 21:22). 

Please don't take my word for this, but let's look at the word of GOD and look at what Jesus  said.  

◄ Psalm 128 ► World English Bible  

Blessed Are All who Walk in His Ways  

1 A Song of Ascents. Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh, who walks in his ways.  2 For you will eat the labor of your hands. You will be happy, and it will be well with you.  3 Your wife will be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house, your children like olive shoots around your table.  4 Behold, this is how the man who fears Yahweh is blessed.  5 May Yahweh bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.  6 Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel  

Matthew 7:7 Berean Literal Bible 

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened unto you. 

Matthew 21:22. 

Berean Literal Bible. And all things, as many as you might ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."

Yet, many Christians face unnecessary poverty, pain, and suffering, that can truly be avoided.

I've seen well-known Christian leaders die from cancers and diseases, raising questions about why prayers aren't being answered.

I've worked with and for Christian teachers and leaders on well known TV channels who believe in and teach God's promises, and yet these very same Christian teachers and leaders have died of cancers and diseases or fell from high positions who were all Trinitarians as all my Christian friends who left me for leaving the TRINITY faith. So, what's going on?  

First and the main reason, I believe MOST Christians are deceived into following a false god or false Christ (Matthew 24:4-5). And Jesus answering, said to them, “Take heed, lest anyone mislead you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will mislead many.

A Tree and its Fruit (Matthew 12:33-37; Luke 6:43-45) 15 Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 By their fruits you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 So every good tree bears good fruits, but the rotten tree bears bad fruits. 18 A good tree is not able to bear bad fruits, nor a bad tree to bear good fruits. 19 Every tree not bearing good fruit is cut down and is thrown into fire. 20 Then surely by their fruits you will recognize them.

1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Acts 20:29-30 I know that after my departure, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. / Even from your own number, men will rise up and distort the truth to draw away disciples after them. 

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. / And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. / It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their actions.

There are thousands of different faiths, including within Christianity, and only one true faith who actually believe in the ONE TRUE GOD and His One True Christ, even though most Christians say they believe in the ONE TRUE GOD, but on close examination this proves to be untrue and are in fact in a false religion, because most of Christianity do not research, test or question their own faith.

Philippians 2:12

Therefore my beloved, just as always you have obeyed, not only as in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

This adds up to what Jesus told us in Matthew 22:14. Berean Literal Bible  For many are called, but few chosen." A frightening saying by Jesus! 

And that's why we should be like the Berean Jews, who were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.

We're brought up to believe certain things that are mostly not true or correct.

Similar to being brought up to wearing certain clothing and eat what we are taught to eat.

On top of this is the fact of countless false teachers, and people who just believe what they have been taught without doing any real research on their faith, or who are simply happy to believe what they want to believe, because the heart is evil and deceitful. Jeremiah 17:9 Berean Standard Bible. The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?

◄ 2 Peter 2 ► Berean Literal Bible Deliverance from False Prophets  

1 But there were also false prophets among the people, as there will be false teachers among you also, who will stealthily introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master having bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow after their sensuality, through whom the way of the truth will be maligned. 3 And through covetousness they will exploit you with fabricated words, for whom the judgment of long ago is not idle, and their destruction does not slumber.

And it's hard to question if we have been deceived, even if they're not true. 

The Trinity, for example, isn't explicitly taught in the Bible.

I believe the TRINITY is the greatest devil's deception within Christianity, with most of Christianity believing and following the Catholic doctrine of the TRINITY.

Click here to read this article.

In the old testament, Exodus 20:4-5, GOD continually warned his people from worshiping false gods, yet now we see again how history has repeated itself 

We should not get confused with trials and tribulations as part of the Christian journey, testing and strengthening faith (1 Peter 4:12). 

But God doesn't abandon us when we are tested; He holds our hand through the fire (Daniel 3:16-30), as He did with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego who were thrown in the fire by “King Nebuchadnezzar.

So, what's the Christian world doing wrong? I believe first is that the devil deceiving the whole inhabited world Revelation 12:9 which is why most of Christianity is so deceived, like the TRINITY faith, who have brought back paganism within Christianity, adopted by the Catholic faith in the forth country. Read my article: Was there a doctrine of the Trinity in the time of Jesus and His disciples?

So in the whole, it's a mix of deceptions, misunderstandings, pride, spiritual laziness, and people who are not HUNGRY to know GOD and the truth of GOD and Christ when we should be like the Parable of the Hidden Treasure (Matthew 13:44) where Jesus tells of a man who goes searching for treasure, (GOD and Christ) and finds treasure buried in a field, who joyfully hides it again, then sells everything he owns to buy the field and possess the treasure, or The Parable of the Pearl of Great Price Matthew 13:45-46 followed by my next article where we will also see its SIN.

*Why are Christians Living in Poverty?*

*By Simon Brown*

*Part 1: Introduction*

I've seen heartbreaking poverty and suffering among Christians worldwide, struggling to afford basics like food, clothes, and necessities. In places like Kenya, Pakistan, and other third-world countries, I've witnessed innocent Christian children suffering, with parents struggling to support them. It's hard to understand why they're facing such hardship.

The image of children who've never experienced a McDonald's meal is heartbreaking 😔. It's a stark reminder of the daily struggles many face, where simple pleasures are a luxury. This highlights the contrast between privilege and hardship, sparking questions about global inequality and support systems. What are your thoughts on how we can address such disparities? 🌍

And yet the Christian children remain so polite, loving, caring and humble.

The saying "life is what you make it" comes to mind. Are Christians doing something wrong, or is there another explanation? We know the prophet of God, Job suffered greatly, but he was blessed with wealth. As Christians, we're promised God's guidance and blessings (Matthew 6:33).

Let's explore this together. Jesus said, "Seek the Kingdom of God above all else... and he will give you everything you need" (Matthew 6:33 NLT). God's Word is true, so why do many Christians struggle with poverty?

Join me as we dig deeper into this issue, exploring why Christians face poverty, problems, and troubles worldwide – even among prominent leaders.
