And we know that the Son of God has
come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and
we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ.
He is the true God and eternal life.
1 John 5:20?
What do Trinitarians believe?
Click on image to enlarge.
Could this be true what most believe, and Trinitarians teach, that St John
was teaching in 1 John 5:20, that GOD’s Son Jesus is BOTH the same one true
GOD, and also the Son of His GOD?
Who was St John referring to by saying:
He is the true God and eternal life?
Did St John truly mean (the Son of
God) is the true GOD, as the TRINITY and the Pentecostal faith believe
and teach?
Or did St John mean GOD the Father is the true GOD?
Before we start, I will give you a simple clue?
1 John 5:20.
The first line in John’s statement has: (the Son of God).
The very last line in John’s statement has: He is the true God and eternal
life?
WHO is the person who gives us eternal life, and gave and
sent and sacrificed His Son to save us, and gives the power to His Son to raise
us?
Please see the answer at the end? And there you will
discover who: He is the true God and eternal life?
Was St John contradicting what he already taught in his
famous Gospel within John 17?
Let’s carefully examine the Biblical facts and discover the
truth.
SEEK and you will find said Jesus. Matthew 7:7.
First and obvious facts.
Notice, the first statement by John saying: And we know that (the Son of God) has come?
Question?
Who has come?
Answer.
St John said it was: (the Son of God,
Jesus), who has come.
Question?
And for what reason did: (the Son of
God) come?
Answer.
St John said the reason why (the Son
of God) has come, was to give us understanding.
Question?
BUT understanding of what?
Answer.
John tells us in the next few words: so that we may know him who is
true.
Question?
Who was John talking about: so that
we may know him who is true. GOD or Jesus?
Answer.
The answer to WHO St John is talking about is in Johns
Gospel of John 17:6, where we read St John writes down what Jesus prayed to His
Father GOD.
Lets have a LOOK?
“I have manifested (make known) your name to the
people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to
me, and they have kept your word.
Notice, John wrote down what Jesus had said and prayed to
His Father GOD saying, that He (The Son of GOD), revealed and made known to the
people the divine truth of his Father GOD.
Question?
And what was the important teaching (The
Son of GOD) manifested to the people?
The answer to what (The Son of GOD)
manifested to the people will explain who St John was referring to in, 1 John
5:20, when he said at the end of his statement: He is
the true God and eternal life. 1 John 5:20.
Let’s go back in time, when St John was present with Jesus
just before His crucifixion where we read what St John wrote down in his famous
Gospel (The teaching and revelation of Christ), in John 17:3, where we find the
SIMPLE answer to who St John was referring to when he said: He is the true God and eternal life? in 1 John 5:20.

In John 17:3, there we find the SIMPLE answer to, 1 John
5:20: (He is the true God and eternal life).
Right here St John wrote down Jesus saying and praying to
His Father GOD: And this is eternal life, that they
know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
Did you notice?
St John was REPEATING in 1 John 5:20, what he already wrote
down in his famous Gospel of John 17:3?
St John was teaching and saying the IDENTICAL Biblical fact
in BOTH scriptures of John 17:3 and 1 John 5:20.
St John was NOT teaching anything new, that Jesus is GOD, or
do we find any contradictions whatsoever but instead St John was revealing and
REPEATING the same divine truth which is in BOTH scriptures of John 17:3 and 1 John 5:20,
that: GOD the Father IS THE ONLY ONE TRUE GOD.
St John was confirming with what he already wrote down in
his Gospel when he heard Jesus pray saying that GOD the Father IS THE ONLY ONE
TRUE GOD, which is eternal life, by believing.
And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God. John 17:3.
He is the true God and eternal
life. 1 John 5:20.
Notice how BOTH scriptures John 17:3, and 1 John 5:20 are IDENTICAL?
There we have the SIMPLE Biblical facts to who St John was
referring to in 1 John 5:20.
And here are the answers to my question.
WHO is the person who gives us eternal
life, and gave and sent and sacrificed His Son to save us, and gives the power to His Son to raise us?
“I can do nothing on my own. As I
hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the
will of him who sent me. John 5:30.
And this is the testimony, that God
gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
1 John 5:11
Jesus answered her, “If you knew the
gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would
have asked him, and he would have given you living water.” John 4:10.
For by grace you have been saved
through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8.
Question?
The gift of God? What GOD, because Trinitarians
say Jesus is GOD, and that there are THREE GODS?
The answer is given by St Paul in: 1 Corinthians 8:6?
Yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one
Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.
Conclusion by Simon Brown.
The meaning of St John statement in 1 John 5:20.
And we know that the Son of God has
come and has given us understanding,
St John is confirming what he already wrote down in John
17:6, that Jesus the Son of GOD came to give us the truth, knowledge and
understanding of His GOD. when he heard Jesus praying:
“I have manifested your name to the
people whom you gave me out of the world. John 17:6.
We continue: so that we may know him who is true;
and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ.
St John continues confirming both the Father and His Son’s will for
the human race that ALL come to know the truth of the creator GOD and His Son’s
love and become ONE with the Father and Son, as we read in Galatians 3:26- 28: for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. For
as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is
neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slaveg nor free, there is no male and
female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
And finally the last sentence by John that is so misunderstood.
He is the true God and eternal life.
1 John 5:20.
The whole verse is about St John testifying BOTH the Son of
God has come and revealed to all the absolute truth of His Father GOD, who is the only ONE TRUE GOD, who’s plan it always was
to give ALL who believe and follow GOD through His SON eternal life.
For this is the will of my Father,
that everyone who looks on the Son and
believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
John 6:40.
There it is, the final Biblical facts, (there is one God, the Father) 1 Corinthians 8:6’, And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, 1
John 5:11, He is the true God and eternal life. 1
John 5:20. It
is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8.
And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God,
and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. John 17:3.
St John’s teaching in 1 John
5:20: (He is the true God), is one of five BROTHER
scriptures that go side by side with four other scriptures which all teach us
the same Biblical facts.
Lets have a look?
2 Chronicles 15:3:
For a long time Israel was without the true God, and without a
teaching priest and without law.
Jeremiah 10:10:
But Yahweh is the true God; he is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembles, and the nations are not able to withstand his indignation. World English Bible
But Yahweh is the true God; he is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembles, and the nations are not able to withstand his indignation. World English Bible
1 Thessalonians 1:9:
For they themselves report
concerning us the kind of reception we had among you, and how you turned to God
from idols to serve the living and true
God.
John 17:3: And this is eternal life,
that they know you, the only true
God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
ALL these FIVE brother scriptures always refer to the Father
ONE TRUE GOD ALONE, and not the Son of GOD.
There is not a single scripture teaching the ONE TRUE GOD of
Israel is THREE called the TRINITY, and yet that’s what most teach and believe
what’s not taught anywhere in the whole Bible.
ALL these BROTHER scriptures of (the
true God) have the SAME IDENTICAL phrase, meaning and teaching, which
are used FIVE times in the Bible.
Jesus is never, ever called: the true God, because Jesus
is NOT GOD, but truly the SON of His GOD.
Notice, St John said: the Son of God,
has (physically and bodily) come to give us understanding?
St John did NOT say (GOD) has come to give us understanding, which would be the case if Jesus were
GOD Himself, which St John would have told us in the first place if Jesus were
GOD.
The obvious facts are the same as always.
1. By trying to prove Jesus is the true GOD, we are in fact
going out of our way to CONTRADICT thousands of teachings throughout the whole
Bible, just as the Pentecostal and TRINITY faith continually demonstrate and by
doing so they are proving with their own hands they are deceived.
2. GOD Almighty taught countless times from the beginning of
the Bible to the end, that he is GOD ALONE.
3. As GOD Almighty is GOD ALONE, if Jesus is also the true
GOD, that simple CONTRADICTION creates and makes TWO GODS, and not ONE.
4. Or if Jesus is not another GOD, as many teach, He is the
same ONE TRUE GOD, as many believe, which then creates another serious problem,
because Jesus taught us He is GOD’s Son and GOD is His Father, and His Father
GOD sent Him, and sacrificed Him and raised Him from the dead.
But if Jesus is NOT the LITERAL Son but the same one true GOD, that would then mean GOD did not send and sacrifice His own Son, but GOD instead sent and sacrificed Himself, when the REQUIREMENT for salvation is to believe: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16.
But if Jesus is NOT the LITERAL Son but the same one true GOD, that would then mean GOD did not send and sacrifice His own Son, but GOD instead sent and sacrificed Himself, when the REQUIREMENT for salvation is to believe: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16.
The Pentecostal and TRINITY faith BOTH DENY the LITERAL
Father and LITERAL Son, because they BOTH believe and teach GOD and His Son are
the SAME ONE GOD, and therefore believe and preach a FALSE God instead of
knowing, believing and teaching the truth of THE ONE TRUE GOD ALONE, who is the
GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who sent His LITERAL Son Yeshua.
This is how MOST have become deceived by believing Jesus and His Father are the same GOD, or same being, because it DENIES a LITERAL Father and LITERAL Son.
This is how MOST have become deceived by believing Jesus and His Father are the same GOD, or same being, because it DENIES a LITERAL Father and LITERAL Son.
Who is the liar but he who denies
that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and
the Son.
Notice what John says: he who denies
the Father and the Son.
GOD the Father is not the father and Jesus the Son is not
the Son if they are EQUAL and the SAME ONE GOD, as the Pentecostal and TRINITY
faith wrongly teach and believe.
Notice how St John does not say or teach: GOD the Father and
GOD the Son?
No one who denies the Son has the
Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also. Let what you heard from
the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you,
then you too will abide in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise
that he made to use—eternal life. 1 John 2:22 -25.
I John 5:20, is a perfect example of how the Pentecostal and
the TRINITY faith do not examine the scriptures carefully, therefore lack
understanding of the divine truth and instead continue to deceive themselves
and others with false Biblical facts.
You have now discovered what I discovered, yet again, how the Trinity and Pentecostal faith make a fundamental misunderstanding of the very
important simple Biblical teachings that most use yet AGAIN, as Another
Trinitarian DECEPTION.
I am Simon Brown.
Thank you for reading my research.
Please pray that the Pentecostal and the TRINITY faith will
humble themselves before the ONE TRUE GOD through His LITERAL Son Yeshua, and
come to know GOD is NOT THREE, but truly ONE who is GOD ALONE, and believe His Son Yeshua is truly His LITERAL
Son, sent not to condemn us, BUT SAVE US. Amen.
Deuteronomy 4:35
You were shown these things so that you might
know that the LORD is God; BESIDES HIM THERE IS NO OTHER.------------------------------------
Other views of 1 John 5:20.
I have read, Trinitarian NT scholar Murray J. Harris sums up
his 13-page analysis of this scripture, and says, the true one God,’ is God the
Father, and NOT Jesus.
Anthony Buzzard states:
Subject: Re: 1 John 5:20?
This verse says 1 John 5:20, that the Father is the true
God! We are in Christ by being in his
Father who is the true God.
John does not always have the immediate “antecedent” as we
might want it.
Look in I John 2:22. Jesus is not the antichrist!
Many top scholars who are Trinitarians fully agree that I
John 5:20 is exactly John 17:3
To say otherwise is of course to accuse John of confusion!
