TITUS 2:13 — DOES THIS VERSE PROVE JESUS IS GOD?

A detailed Bible study poster featuring Simon Brown examining Scripture and exploring Titus 2:13. The image represents the importance of studying biblical context, comparing passages, and examining the relationship between God the Father and Jesus Christ through Scripture.

QUICK FACTS!
TITUS 2:13 — DOES THIS VERSE PROVE JESUS IS GOD?

One of the most debated verses in the New Testament is Titus 2:13.

Trinitarian Christians often teach that this verse proves the Apostle Paul called Jesus “our great God and Savior.”

But is that really what Paul meant?

Who was Paul referring to?

Was Paul saying Jesus is God?

Or was Paul referring to two persons:

THE GREAT GOD AND FATHER

AND

THE SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST?

The key question is:

HOW SHOULD TITUS 2:13 BE UNDERSTOOD WHEN COMPARED WITH THE REST OF PAUL'S WRITINGS?

Paul repeatedly distinguishes between:

GOD THE FATHER

AND

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

For example:

“Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

— Philippians 1:2

“Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you.”

— 1 Thessalonians 3:11

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

— 1 Peter 1:3

The question every Bible student should examine is:

IS TITUS 2:13 TEACHING THAT JESUS IS THE ALMIGHTY GOD?

OR IS PAUL SPEAKING ABOUT THE ONE TRUE GOD AND HIS SON JESUS CHRIST?

Search the Scriptures.

Examine the context.

Compare the passages.

Follow the evidence wherever it leads.

PART 1 — TITUS 2:13: DOES THIS VERSE REALLY CALL JESUS GOD?

One of the most frequently quoted verses in discussions about whether Jesus is God is Titus 2:13.

Many Trinitarian Christians understand this verse as directly calling Jesus both “God” and “Savior.”

Titus 2:13 reads:

“Looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.”

— Titus 2:13

At first glance, especially in many modern English translations, this can certainly sound as though Paul is describing Jesus Christ as “our great God and Savior.”

For this reason, Titus 2:13 is frequently presented as evidence for the deity of Christ.

But should we simply stop there?

Or should we do what every careful Bible student should do:

EXAMINE THE CONTEXT.

COMPARE PAUL WITH PAUL.

COMPARE SCRIPTURE WITH SCRIPTURE.

And ask whether another understanding is possible.

THE CENTRAL QUESTION

Who was Paul referring to when he wrote Titus 2:13?

Was he referring to ONE PERSON:

“Our great God and Savior Jesus Christ”?

Or was he referring to TWO:

OUR GREAT GOD

AND

OUR SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST?

This question matters enormously.

If Paul is identifying Jesus as “our great God,” Titus 2:13 becomes an important text in arguments for the deity of Christ.

But if Paul is referring to God and Jesus Christ together, then the verse does not establish that Jesus is the great God.

So how can we investigate this?

One important method is to examine Paul's normal way of speaking about God and Jesus.

PAUL REGULARLY DISTINGUISHES GOD FROM JESUS CHRIST

Throughout Paul's writings we repeatedly encounter a very clear pattern.

Paul speaks about GOD.

Then he speaks about JESUS CHRIST.

For example:

“Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

— Philippians 1:2

Notice the distinction:

GOD OUR FATHER

AND

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Paul does the same thing elsewhere:

“Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

— Romans 1:7

Again:

GOD OUR FATHER

AND

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

And again:

“Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

— 1 Corinthians 1:3

This distinction appears repeatedly throughout Paul's letters.

That should immediately make us cautious about taking one disputed construction and interpreting it without considering Paul's wider language.

WHAT DOES PAUL SAY IN TITUS ITSELF?

This becomes even more interesting when we examine the opening of the very same letter.

Paul writes:

“Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ...”

— Titus 1:1

Notice again:

GOD

AND

JESUS CHRIST.

Paul identifies himself as:

A SERVANT OF GOD

AND

AN APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRIST.

Two are being distinguished.

Then Titus 1:4 says:

“Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.”

Once again:

GOD THE FATHER

AND

CHRIST JESUS OUR SAVIOR.

This is extremely important when interpreting Titus 2:13.

Only a short distance before the disputed verse, Paul has explicitly distinguished:

GOD THE FATHER

FROM

CHRIST JESUS OUR SAVIOR.

Therefore, when we reach Titus 2:13, we should at least ask whether Paul could again be speaking about God and His Messiah together.

COMPARE PHILIPPIANS 3

There is another interesting comparison.

Paul writes:

“I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

— Philippians 3:14

Notice the order:

GOD

then

CHRIST JESUS.

Later in the same chapter Paul writes:

“But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.”

— Philippians 3:20

Again Paul distinguishes the God who calls believers through Christ from Jesus Christ whom believers await as Savior.

This is consistent with Paul's normal theological language.

THE FATHER IS CALLED GOD

Paul could hardly have been clearer in passages such as 1 Corinthians 8:6:

“Yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through Him.”

— 1 Corinthians 8:6

Notice carefully:

ONE GOD — THE FATHER.

ONE LORD — JESUS CHRIST.

Paul does not erase the distinction between them.

He preserves it.

This same distinction appears again in Ephesians:

“One God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.”

— Ephesians 4:6

And again:

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

— Ephesians 1:3

Think about those words:

THE GOD AND FATHER

OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.

This raises an obvious question:

If Paul's normal language identifies the Father as God and distinguishes Jesus as God's Christ and Lord, should Titus 2:13 automatically be interpreted as overturning that pattern?

THE GRAMMAR MUST BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY

We should also be fair with the evidence.

Many scholars and translators argue from the Greek grammar of Titus 2:13 that “our great God and Savior” refers to one person—Jesus Christ.

That interpretation should not simply be ignored.

However, grammatical arguments must still be considered alongside context, Pauline usage, and the wider biblical testimony.

This is precisely why Titus 2:13 deserves careful examination rather than being reduced to:

“Paul called Jesus God. End of discussion.”

The discussion is not that simple.

PAUL'S OWN WORDS MUST INTERPRET PAUL

Before deciding what Titus 2:13 means, we should therefore examine how Paul consistently speaks elsewhere.

Does Paul normally teach:

JESUS IS THE ONE GOD?

Or does he normally distinguish between:

GOD THE FATHER

AND

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST?

The repeated pattern is unmistakable.

“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”

— 1 Timothy 2:5

Notice again:

ONE GOD.

Then:

ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND HUMANITY.

Who is that mediator?

CHRIST JESUS.

The mediator is distinguished from the God between whom he mediates.

Therefore, Titus 2:13 must be examined within this much larger biblical framework.

THE QUICK FACT

The Trinitarian interpretation of Titus 2:13 understands “our great God and Savior Jesus Christ” as referring entirely to Jesus.

My understanding is different.

I believe Paul is speaking within the same pattern found repeatedly throughout his writings:

THE GREAT GOD — THE FATHER

AND

THE SAVIOR — JESUS CHRIST.

But we should not reach that conclusion merely because Simon Brown says so.

SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES.

Examine the Greek arguments.

Examine the context.

Compare Titus with Paul's other letters.

And determine which interpretation best fits the complete biblical evidence.

In PART 2 we will examine another major question raised by Titus 2:13:

WHO IS COMING IN GLORY?

Is Scripture speaking only about Jesus?

Or does the Bible describe BOTH God and His Son being revealed together in the final establishment of God's Kingdom?

Part 2 Titus 2:13 Who Is Coming in Glory God Jesus or Both biblical examination

A dramatic Bible study poster examining Titus 2:13 and the question of who is coming in glory. The image represents God and His Son Jesus Christ, the return of Christ, the glory of the Father and the coming Kingdom, encouraging readers to search the Scriptures and examine the biblical evidence.

PART 2 — WHO IS COMING IN GLORY? GOD, JESUS, OR BOTH?

In Part 1 we examined Titus 2:13 and the question of whether Paul was calling Jesus “our great God,” or whether he was referring to God and Jesus Christ together.

Now we come to another important part of the verse:

“Looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.”

— Titus 2:13

Many Trinitarians argue that because Jesus is the one who will appear, the entire expression must refer to Jesus.

But is that necessarily the only possible conclusion?

We need to examine the wider biblical picture.

WHO IS COMING?

There is absolutely no question that the New Testament teaches that Jesus Christ will return.

Jesus Himself said:

“For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done.”

— Matthew 16:27

Notice something extremely important.

Jesus does not merely say that he will come in his own independent glory.

He says that the Son of Man will come:

IN THE GLORY OF HIS FATHER.

This immediately brings both the Father and the Son into the picture.

THE SON COMES IN THE FATHER'S GLORY

Jesus again said:

“For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.”

— Luke 9:26

Look carefully at the distinction:

THE SON OF MAN

THE FATHER

THE HOLY ANGELS.

Jesus is the one coming, but the glory associated with that coming includes the glory of his Father.

Therefore, the appearance of God's glory does not by itself require us to identify Jesus as the God whose glory is being revealed.

Jesus can reveal the Father's glory precisely because God has exalted him.

GOD GAVE JESUS HIS GLORY

Jesus prayed to his Father:

“The glory which you have given me, I have given to them.”

— John 17:22

Notice the direction:

GOD GAVE GLORY TO JESUS.

Jesus then shared glory with his followers.

This is important because possessing or displaying divine glory does not automatically mean that the recipient is the God who gave that glory.

Peter says something very similar:

“For he received from God the Father honor and glory when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, ‘This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.’”

— 2 Peter 1:17

Again:

JESUS RECEIVED HONOR AND GLORY

FROM

GOD THE FATHER.

The Father and Son remain distinguishable.

JESUS WILL CERTAINLY RETURN

The New Testament repeatedly teaches the return of Jesus Christ.

Hebrews says:

“So Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, apart from sin, to those who eagerly wait for him for salvation.”

— Hebrews 9:28

Paul writes:

“But our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.”

— Philippians 3:20

Therefore there should be no misunderstanding about my argument.

JESUS CHRIST IS RETURNING.

The question is whether the biblical picture of that future appearing involves Jesus independently of God, or whether God is revealing His own power, glory and Kingdom through His appointed Messiah.

THE NEW TESTAMENT POINTS EVERYTHING BACK TO GOD

Peter writes:

“Who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.”

— 1 Peter 1:21

Notice again:

GOD RAISED JESUS.

GOD GAVE JESUS GLORY.

THROUGH JESUS WE BELIEVE IN GOD.

OUR FAITH AND HOPE ARE IN GOD.

This is the same relationship we repeatedly encounter throughout Scripture.

God acts through His Son.

Jesus represents his Father.

Jesus carries out his Father's will.

Jesus reveals his Father's glory.

But the Father remains the God who sent, raised, exalted and glorified His Son.

WHAT ABOUT THE “DAY OF GOD”?

Peter writes:

“Looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved by fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat.”

— 2 Peter 3:12

Notice that Peter calls this:

THE DAY OF GOD.

Yet the New Testament also speaks about:

THE DAY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Paul writes:

“Who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

— 1 Corinthians 1:8

Does this mean God and Jesus must therefore be the same person?

Not necessarily.

Rather, it demonstrates how closely God's final judgment and Kingdom are connected with the Messiah through whom God executes His purposes.

Paul explicitly says:

“God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ.”

— Romans 2:16

GOD is the ultimate source of the judgment.

JESUS CHRIST is the one through whom God carries it out.

GOD HAS APPOINTED JESUS TO JUDGE

Paul preached:

“He has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained, of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.”

— Acts 17:31

This passage is extremely important.

GOD APPOINTED THE DAY.

GOD WILL JUDGE THE WORLD.

But He will do so:

BY THE MAN WHOM HE APPOINTED.

Who is that man?

JESUS CHRIST.

And how did God demonstrate His appointment of Jesus?

GOD RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD.

Once again we see two distinguishable persons working completely together in accomplishing one divine purpose.

WHAT ABOUT REVELATION 1:8?

Revelation contains another important statement:

“‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God, ‘who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.’”

— Revelation 1:8

The speaker is explicitly identified as:

THE LORD GOD.

THE ALMIGHTY.

Some Christians understand this verse as Jesus speaking.

I understand it as referring to God, the Father.

Why?

Because Revelation itself distinguishes God from Jesus Christ immediately before this.

Revelation 1:4–5 speaks of grace and peace:

“From him who is and who was and who is to come... and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead.”

Notice the distinction.

There is:

HIM WHO IS, WHO WAS, AND WHO IS TO COME

AND

JESUS CHRIST.

Then only a few verses later Revelation 1:8 describes:

THE LORD GOD

WHO IS AND WHO WAS AND WHO IS TO COME

THE ALMIGHTY.

The wording strongly connects Revelation 1:8 with the first figure distinguished from Jesus in Revelation 1:4–5.

THE FATHER AND SON ARE TOGETHER IN THE KINGDOM

This relationship becomes even clearer later in Revelation.

After the seventh trumpet sounds, heaven declares:

“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign forever and ever.”

— Revelation 11:15

Notice those remarkable words:

OUR LORD

AND

HIS CHRIST.

The Christ belongs to God.

Once again we have God and His Messiah together in the establishment of the Kingdom.

This same picture appears throughout Revelation:

GOD

AND

THE LAMB.

Revelation 5:13 says:

“To him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing, honor, glory, and dominion forever and ever.”

Again we have:

THE ONE SITTING ON THE THRONE

AND

THE LAMB.

They participate together in the final triumph of God's Kingdom, while remaining distinguishable.

WHAT ABOUT ZECHARIAH 14?

The Old Testament also describes Yahweh's dramatic intervention:

“Then Yahweh my God will come, and all the holy ones with you.”

— Zechariah 14:5

The New Testament describes Jesus coming with angels and saints.

This creates an important biblical relationship.

What Yahweh accomplishes in the final establishment of His Kingdom is carried out through His appointed Messiah.

That does not automatically require us to conclude that Yahweh and Jesus are the same person.

Jesus repeatedly teaches that the authority he possesses was GIVEN to him.

“All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.”

— Matthew 28:18

Given by whom?

GOD.

Paul explains the ultimate order:

“When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to Him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.”

— 1 Corinthians 15:28

This is an extraordinary passage.

Even after Jesus has exercised his Messianic authority, Paul distinguishes:

THE SON

FROM

THE ONE WHO SUBJECTED EVERYTHING TO HIM.

And ultimately:

THE SON HIMSELF IS SUBJECTED TO GOD.

GOD AND HIS SON WORK TOGETHER

This brings us back to Titus 2:13.

The Bible unquestionably teaches that Jesus Christ will return.

But it also teaches that:

Jesus comes in his Father's glory.

God gave Jesus glory.

God appointed Jesus.

God raised Jesus.

God gave Jesus authority.

God judges through Jesus.

God establishes His Kingdom through His Christ.

And ultimately Jesus remains subject to God.

Therefore, when Scripture describes the future appearing of God's glory and the coming of Jesus Christ, we should not automatically assume that the two must therefore be the same person.

The biblical picture repeatedly presents:

GOD THE FATHER

AND

HIS SON JESUS CHRIST

working perfectly together to accomplish God's purpose.

TWO PERSONS.

ONE PURPOSE.

ONE KINGDOM.

ONE DIVINE PLAN.

And this prepares us for PART 3.

Because Jesus Himself repeatedly explained this extraordinary relationship when he said:

“I am in the Father, and the Father is in me.”

What did Jesus mean?

Did he mean that he and the Father are literally the same God or person?

Or was Jesus describing the extraordinary unity between God and the Messiah whom He sent?

That is what we will examine next.

Part 3 I Am in the Father and the Father Is in Me John 14:10 biblical examination

A Bible study poster examining Jesus’ words in John 14:10, “I am in the Father, and the Father is in me.” This study compares Scripture to investigate the relationship between God the Father and Jesus Christ and asks whether their unity means identity or perfect unity of purpose, love and mission.

PART 3 — “I AM IN THE FATHER, AND THE FATHER IS IN ME” — WHAT DID JESUS MEAN?

In Part 2 we examined the biblical teaching that Jesus Christ will return in glory.

We also saw that Jesus repeatedly connects his glory, authority and future Kingdom with GOD HIS FATHER.

Jesus said:

“For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of his Father with his angels.”

— Matthew 16:27

This brings us to another extremely important question.

If God and Jesus work together so completely, does this mean they are literally the same God?

Or does Scripture describe TWO distinct persons united perfectly in purpose, authority and work?

Jesus gives us the answer in his own words.

THE FATHER IS IN JESUS

Jesus said:

“But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I am in the Father.”

— John 10:38

Notice exactly what Jesus says:

THE FATHER IS IN ME.

AND

I AM IN THE FATHER.

Some Christians understand statements like this as evidence that Jesus is God.

But is that what Jesus was actually saying?

We must allow Jesus to explain his own words.

Jesus later says:

“Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak from myself; but the Father who remains in me does his works.”

— John 14:10

This is enormously important.

Jesus explains what it means for the Father to be “in” him.

THE FATHER DWELLING IN JESUS WAS DOING HIS WORKS THROUGH JESUS.

Jesus does not say:

“I am the Father.”

Instead, he distinguishes himself from the Father:

THE FATHER WHO DWELLS IN ME

DOES HIS WORKS.

Jesus continues:

“Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works' sake.”

— John 14:11

Once again, Jesus speaks about an extraordinary unity between himself and God.

But unity does not necessarily mean identity.

THE FATHER AND SON ARE NOT THE SAME PERSON

Jesus repeatedly speaks to the Father.

Jesus prays to the Father.

Jesus was sent by the Father.

Jesus obeys the Father.

Jesus receives commandments from the Father.

Jesus receives authority from the Father.

Jesus receives glory from the Father.

Jesus ultimately subjects himself to the Father.

Therefore, the Father and Son cannot simply be collapsed into one person.

Jesus said:

“If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me.”

— John 8:54

Again we have:

JESUS

AND

HIS FATHER WHO GLORIFIES HIM.

Jesus said:

“For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.”

— John 6:38

Again:

JESUS HAS A WILL.

THE FATHER WHO SENT HIM HAS A WILL.

Jesus submits himself to the will of God.

“NOT MY WILL, BUT YOURS”

Perhaps nowhere is this distinction clearer than in Gethsemane.

Jesus prayed:

“Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”

— Luke 22:42

Think carefully about these words:

NOT MY WILL

BUT YOUR WILL.

Jesus is speaking directly to his Father.

This is not one person pretending to speak to himself.

It is the Son submitting himself completely to the will of his God and Father.

THE FATHER IS GREATER THAN JESUS

Jesus also said:

“The Father is greater than I.”

— John 14:28

This statement should be taken seriously.

Jesus identifies someone other than himself as:

THE FATHER.

And Jesus says:

THE FATHER IS GREATER THAN I.

Whatever theological explanation someone ultimately gives to this verse, the distinction in Jesus' words cannot simply be ignored.

Jesus does not say:

“I am my Father.”

He says:

MY FATHER IS GREATER THAN I.

GOD WAS WITH JESUS

This same distinction appears in the preaching of the apostles.

Peter said:

“Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him in the midst of you...”

— Acts 2:22

Notice every part of this statement:

JESUS OF NAZARETH — A MAN.

APPROVED BY GOD.

GOD PERFORMED MIRACLES THROUGH HIM.

Peter does not describe Jesus as God performing miracles independently.

He says:

GOD DID THEM THROUGH JESUS.

This agrees perfectly with Jesus' own words:

“The Father who remains in me does his works.”

— John 14:10

Peter later says:

“God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.”

— Acts 10:38

Again:

GOD ANOINTED JESUS.

GOD GAVE JESUS POWER.

GOD WAS WITH JESUS.

Notice what Peter does NOT say:

“Jesus was God, therefore he possessed all power inherently.”

Instead:

GOD WAS WITH HIM.

IMMANUEL — “GOD WITH US”

This helps us understand another famous passage.

Matthew writes:

“Behold, the virgin will be with child, and will bring forth a son. They will call his name Immanuel,” which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”

— Matthew 1:23

Some immediately conclude:

“Immanuel means God with us, therefore Jesus must literally be God.”

But the wider biblical picture allows another understanding.

GOD WAS WITH HIS PEOPLE THROUGH HIS SON.

Peter explicitly says:

“God was with him.”

— Acts 10:38

And Jesus himself says:

“The Father who remains in me does his works.”

— John 14:10

God was therefore present and working through His Messiah.

Jesus perfectly represented the Father who sent him.

JESUS REVEALED GOD

This also helps explain Jesus' words:

“He who has seen me has seen the Father.”

— John 14:9

Did Jesus mean that he literally was the Father?

Clearly not, because only moments later he says:

“I am in the Father, and the Father is in me.”

— John 14:10

Jesus revealed the Father because the Father was working through him.

Jesus perfectly represented God's character, words, authority and purpose.

This agrees with another statement:

“No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.”

— John 1:18

Jesus REVEALED God.

He made God known.

He did not need to be the same person as God in order to reveal Him perfectly.

GOD SPOKE THROUGH HIS SON

Hebrews begins:

“God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son.”

— Hebrews 1:1–2

Again the distinction is unmistakable.

GOD SPEAKS.

HOW?

THROUGH HIS SON.

This is the same pattern found throughout Scripture.

God works through Jesus.

God speaks through Jesus.

God performs miracles through Jesus.

God judges through Jesus.

God gives authority to Jesus.

God reveals Himself through Jesus.

This is why Jesus could say:

“The word which you hear isn't mine, but the Father's who sent me.”

— John 14:24

JESUS DID NOT SPEAK FROM HIMSELF

Jesus repeatedly emphasized this.

“My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.”

— John 7:16

And:

“For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.”

— John 12:49

Consider how powerful these statements are.

Jesus says:

MY TEACHING IS NOT MY OWN.

THE FATHER SENT ME.

THE FATHER GAVE ME A COMMANDMENT.

THE FATHER TOLD ME WHAT TO SAY.

This is the relationship Scripture repeatedly presents between:

GOD

AND

HIS CHRIST.

THEY ARE UNITED AS ONE

None of this diminishes Jesus.

Quite the opposite.

Jesus is God's uniquely begotten Son.

Jesus is the Messiah.

Jesus is the Savior appointed by God.

Jesus is Lord.

Jesus has been exalted above every other human being.

Jesus has been given authority in heaven and on earth.

Jesus will return in glory.

Jesus will judge the world on God's behalf.

But all of this occurs because:

GOD SENT HIM.

GOD ANOINTED HIM.

GOD EMPOWERED HIM.

GOD RAISED HIM.

GOD EXALTED HIM.

GOD GLORIFIED HIM.

GOD GAVE HIM AUTHORITY.

GOD WORKS THROUGH HIM.

This is what makes the unity between the Father and Son so extraordinary.

THEY ACT TOGETHER AS ONE.

But being united as one does not automatically mean being the same one God.

JESUS PRAYED THAT HIS FOLLOWERS WOULD ALSO BE ONE

This becomes particularly clear in John 17.

Jesus prayed concerning his disciples:

“That they may all be one, even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us.”

— John 17:21

This verse is crucial.

Jesus uses the SAME LANGUAGE of unity for his followers.

He prayed that believers:

MAY ALL BE ONE

JUST AS

THE FATHER AND JESUS ARE ONE.

Obviously Jesus was not praying that every Christian would become one literal being or one person.

He was praying for perfect unity.

Jesus continues:

“The glory which you have given me, I have given to them, that they may be one, even as we are one.”

— John 17:22

There it is again:

THAT THEY MAY BE ONE

EVEN AS WE ARE ONE.

Therefore, when Jesus speaks about being one with his Father, we must allow John 17 to help explain what that unity means.

It is unity of purpose.

Unity of love.

Unity of mission.

Unity of work.

Unity of spirit.

Perfect agreement between God and His Son.

TWO DISTINCT PERSONS WORKING IN PERFECT UNITY.

WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH TITUS 2:13?

Everything.

When Paul speaks about the future glory associated with God and Jesus Christ, we should remember this biblical relationship.

God and His Son are not competing against one another.

They work together.

Jesus represents God perfectly.

God accomplishes His purposes through Jesus.

Therefore, Scripture can place God and Christ side by side in salvation, judgment, glory and the coming Kingdom without requiring us to conclude that they are the same person.

This prepares us for PART 4.

Because now we are going to examine something extremely important:

THE REPEATED BIBLICAL PATTERN OF GOD AND JESUS BEING MENTIONED TOGETHER.

Again and again Paul writes:

GOD OUR FATHER

AND

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Does this repeated pattern help us understand the disputed wording of Titus 2:13?

That is what we will examine next.

Part 4 Titus 2:13 biblical pattern God the Father and Jesus Christ mentioned together

A Bible study poster examining the repeated biblical pattern of God the Father and Jesus Christ being mentioned together throughout the New Testament. The study compares Titus 2:13 with Paul's writings and passages including 1 Corinthians 8:6, 1 Timothy 2:5 and 1 Thessalonians 3:11 to investigate the relationship between God and His Son Jesus Christ.

PART 4 — THE BIBLICAL PATTERN: GOD AND JESUS MENTIONED TOGETHER
In Part 3 we examined Jesus’ words:

“I am in the Father, and the Father is in me.”

— John 14:10

We saw that Jesus did not say that he was the Father.

Instead, Jesus explained that:

“The Father who remains in me does his works.”

— John 14:10

We also saw that Jesus prayed for his followers to become “one” just as he and his Father are one (John 17:21–22).

This brings us back to Titus 2:13.

If Paul was referring to BOTH God and Jesus Christ in Titus 2:13, would this be unusual?

Not at all.

In fact, throughout the New Testament we repeatedly find:

GOD

AND

JESUS CHRIST

mentioned together in the same sentence while remaining distinguishable.

Let us examine the evidence.

PAUL REGULARLY MENTIONS GOD AND JESUS TOGETHER

Consider Paul's words:

“Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you.”

— 1 Thessalonians 3:11

Notice the structure:

OUR GOD AND FATHER

AND

OUR LORD JESUS.

Paul clearly refers to two distinguishable figures.

He does the same thing only two verses later:

“So that he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.”

— 1 Thessalonians 3:13

Again:

OUR GOD AND FATHER

AND

OUR LORD JESUS.

This is extremely relevant to Titus 2:13 because Paul is speaking about the future coming while mentioning God and Jesus together.

GOD OUR FATHER AND OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST

Paul gives us another striking example:

“Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.”

— 2 Thessalonians 2:16–17

Notice that Paul reverses the usual order here.

First:

OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Then:

GOD OUR FATHER.

Does mentioning them together make them the same person?

Clearly not.

Paul distinguishes them while describing them together in the work of salvation and encouragement.

This is precisely why we should be careful about assuming that whenever God and Jesus appear together in one grammatical construction, they must therefore be one person.

PAUL'S OPENING GREETINGS ARE PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT

Again and again Paul's letters begin with almost the same declaration:

“Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

— Romans 1:7

“Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

— 1 Corinthians 1:3

“Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

— 2 Corinthians 1:2

“Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

— Galatians 1:3

“Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

— Ephesians 1:2

“Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

— Philippians 1:2

The pattern is remarkably consistent:

GOD OUR FATHER

AND

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Why is this important?

Because when interpreting a disputed verse such as Titus 2:13, we should compare it with Paul's normal way of speaking.

And Paul's normal pattern repeatedly distinguishes God the Father from Jesus Christ.

THE GOD AND FATHER OF JESUS CHRIST

Paul goes even further.

He writes:

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort.”

— 2 Corinthians 1:3

Notice:

THE GOD AND FATHER

OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Paul says something similar in Ephesians:

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

— Ephesians 1:3

Peter uses the same language:

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”

— 1 Peter 1:3

Again we find:

GOD THE FATHER

AND

JESUS CHRIST.

Jesus has a God.

The New Testament does not hide this fact.

Even after his resurrection, Jesus said:

“I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.”

— John 20:17

Think carefully about those words:

MY FATHER.

YOUR FATHER.

MY GOD.

YOUR GOD.

Jesus identifies the Father as:

MY GOD.

This same truth appears in Revelation.

The risen and glorified Jesus says:

“The one who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God... and I will write on him the name of my God...”

— Revelation 3:12

Jesus repeatedly says:

MY GOD.

Therefore, when Paul normally uses the word “God,” we must carefully investigate whom he means rather than automatically assuming that he is referring to Jesus.

THE ONE GOD AND THE ONE LORD

One of Paul's clearest statements is:

“Yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him.”

— 1 Corinthians 8:6

Paul identifies:

ONE GOD — THE FATHER.

And:

ONE LORD — JESUS CHRIST.

This verse is extremely important to my understanding of Titus 2:13.

Paul does not say:

“One God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.”

Instead, in this passage he explicitly identifies:

THE ONE GOD

THE FATHER.

Then he distinguishes:

THE ONE LORD

JESUS CHRIST.

This distinction is consistent with Jesus' own words:

“Father... this is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.”

— John 17:1,3

Again:

THE ONLY TRUE GOD

AND

JESUS CHRIST WHOM HE SENT.

ONE GOD AND ONE MEDIATOR

Paul gives us another exceptionally clear statement:

“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”

— 1 Timothy 2:5

Notice the structure:

ONE GOD.

AND

ONE MEDIATOR.

The mediator is:

THE MAN CHRIST JESUS.

A mediator stands between parties.

Paul therefore distinguishes Jesus from the God between whom he mediates.

This again supports the repeated biblical pattern:

GOD

AND

HIS CHRIST.

WHAT DOES REVELATION 11:15 SAY?

Now consider one of the most powerful examples in Revelation:

“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign forever and ever.”

— Revelation 11:15

Notice carefully:

OUR LORD

AND

HIS CHRIST.

Whose Christ?

GOD'S CHRIST.

This language has deep roots in Scripture.

Psalm 2 speaks about:

“Yahweh and against his Anointed.”

— Psalm 2:2

The Hebrew word translated “Anointed” is the word from which we derive the concept of Messiah.

Therefore, the biblical pattern is:

YAHWEH

AND

HIS MESSIAH.

In the New Testament:

GOD

AND

HIS CHRIST.

The Messiah is God's appointed and anointed King.

GOD ANOINTED JESUS

Peter preached:

“God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power.”

— Acts 10:38

Who performed the anointing?

GOD.

Who was anointed?

JESUS.

Peter proclaimed something similar on Pentecost:

“Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”

— Acts 2:36

Again:

GOD MADE JESUS LORD AND CHRIST.

The distinction could hardly be clearer.

God is the One who exalts.

Jesus is the one God exalts.

Paul explains this beautifully in Philippians:

“Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name.”

— Philippians 2:9

Again:

GOD EXALTED JESUS.

GOD GAVE JESUS HIS POSITION.

And what is the ultimate result?

“That every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

— Philippians 2:11

Notice where everything ultimately leads:

TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER.

JESUS IS OUR SAVIOR — BUT GOD IS THE SOURCE OF SALVATION

Some may ask:

“If Jesus is called Savior, doesn't that mean Jesus must be God?”

But Scripture itself shows that the title “Savior” can be associated with God while salvation is accomplished through the Messiah whom God appointed.

Peter proclaimed:

“The God of our fathers raised up Jesus... God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior.”

— Acts 5:30–31

Notice:

GOD RAISED JESUS.

GOD EXALTED JESUS.

GOD MADE JESUS A PRINCE AND SAVIOR.

Therefore, calling Jesus “Savior” does not erase the distinction between Jesus and the God who appointed him to that saving role.

Titus itself contains this remarkable pattern.

Titus 1:3 speaks of:

“God our Savior.”

Then Titus 1:4 speaks of:

“Christ Jesus our Savior.”

Later Titus 3:4 speaks of:

“God our Savior.”

Then Titus 3:6 speaks of:

“Jesus Christ our Savior.”

This is fascinating.

The same letter can speak of:

GOD OUR SAVIOR

AND

JESUS CHRIST OUR SAVIOR.

Why?

Because salvation originates with God and is accomplished through His Son.

Jesus himself said:

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son.”

— John 3:16

GOD IS THE SOURCE.

JESUS IS THE SON GOD GAVE.

GOD WAS IN CHRIST

Paul expresses this relationship beautifully:

“God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself.”

— 2 Corinthians 5:19

Notice exactly what Paul says.

GOD WAS IN CHRIST.

He does not say:

“God was Christ.”

Instead:

GOD

WAS IN

CHRIST.

This agrees remarkably well with Jesus' own words:

“The Father who remains in me does his works.”

— John 14:10

God worked through His Son.

God reconciled humanity through His Son.

God judges through His Son.

God saves through His Son.

God reveals Himself through His Son.

This is the extraordinary biblical relationship between the Father and Jesus Christ.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR TITUS 2:13?

Now return to our original question.

Titus 2:13 speaks about:

“our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.”

Many modern translations and many scholars understand the Greek construction as identifying Jesus as both “God” and “Savior.”

That grammatical argument deserves serious consideration.

But we must also examine Paul's broader theological pattern.

Again and again Paul speaks of:

GOD OUR FATHER

AND

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

He speaks of:

ONE GOD

AND

ONE MEDIATOR.

He identifies:

ONE GOD — THE FATHER.

He says:

GOD EXALTED JESUS.

GOD RAISED JESUS.

GOD GAVE JESUS AUTHORITY.

GOD WORKS THROUGH JESUS.

And Titus itself distinguishes:

GOD OUR SAVIOR

AND

CHRIST JESUS OUR SAVIOR.

For these reasons, I believe Titus 2:13 should be examined within this wider biblical pattern rather than being treated as an isolated proof-text.

DO NOT BUILD A DOCTRINE UPON ONE DISPUTED VERSE

This is one of the most important principles of Bible study.

When one verse is grammatically or interpretively disputed, we should not make that verse overturn dozens of passages whose distinctions are much clearer.

Instead:

COMPARE SCRIPTURE WITH SCRIPTURE.

COMPARE PAUL WITH PAUL.

COMPARE TITUS WITH TITUS.

And ask:

Which interpretation best agrees with the complete biblical testimony?

For me, the repeated pattern is clear:

ONE GOD — THE FATHER.

ONE LORD — JESUS CHRIST.

GOD

AND

HIS SON.

GOD

AND

HIS CHRIST.

THE FATHER

AND

THE SON.

Two distinguishable persons working together in complete unity to accomplish ONE divine purpose.

And this leads us into the FINAL PART of our Titus 2:13 investigation.

PART 5 — THE ONE TRUE GOD AND THE TRINITY QUESTION

We will examine:

“Hear, O Israel: Yahweh our God, Yahweh is one.”

— Deuteronomy 6:4

Jesus' own repetition of this commandment in Mark 12:29.

“There is one God.”

— Romans 3:30

“You believe that God is one. You do well.”

— James 2:19

And the extraordinary words of John:

“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.”

— 1 John 2:22

THE FATHER.

AND

THE SON.

Does the Bible's repeated distinction between them agree with the later doctrine of the Trinity?

That is the question we will examine in Part 5.

A Bible study poster examining the One True God and the Trinity question, featuring the traditional Shield of the Trinity diagram alongside key Scriptures. The study compares the Trinity doctrine with Jesus' declaration that God is one, his prayer to the Father as “the only true God,” and Paul's teaching concerning the One God, the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

PART 5 — THE ONE TRUE GOD AND THE TRINITY QUESTION

Throughout this study we have examined Titus 2:13 and asked a very important question:

DID PAUL REALLY CALL JESUS “OUR GREAT GOD”?

Or should the verse be understood within the repeated biblical pattern of:

GOD THE FATHER

AND

HIS SON JESUS CHRIST?

We have examined Paul's writings.

We have examined Jesus' own words.

We have examined the relationship between God and His Messiah.

And we have repeatedly encountered the same distinction:

GOD

AND

JESUS CHRIST.

Now we come to perhaps the most important question of all:

WHO DOES THE BIBLE IDENTIFY AS THE ONE TRUE GOD?

THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT

We should begin where Jesus himself began.

A scribe asked Jesus:

“Which commandment is the most important of all?”

Jesus answered:

“The first of all the commandments is, ‘Hear, Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one.’”

— Mark 12:29

Jesus was quoting the famous declaration of Deuteronomy 6:4:

“Hear, Israel: Yahweh is our God. Yahweh is one.”

— Deuteronomy 6:4

Think carefully about this.

Jesus was asked for:

THE MOST IMPORTANT COMMANDMENT.

And he began by affirming:

GOD IS ONE.

This was not an insignificant theological detail.

It stood at the heart of Israel's faith.

And Jesus reaffirmed it.

THE SCRIBE UNDERSTOOD JESUS

What happens next is extremely important.

The scribe responds:

“Truly, teacher, you have said well that he is one, and there is none other but he.”

— Mark 12:32

Notice the words:

HE IS ONE.

THERE IS NONE OTHER BUT HE.

Did Jesus correct him?

Did Jesus say:

“No, you misunderstand. God is actually three persons”?

No.

Instead Jesus approved his answer.

Mark tells us:

“When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, ‘You are not far from God's Kingdom.’”

— Mark 12:34

This deserves serious consideration.

The man understood Jesus' teaching about God as:

HE IS ONE.

THERE IS NO OTHER BUT HE.

And Jesus said he answered wisely.

WHO IS THE ONE TRUE GOD?

Jesus gives an even more direct answer in his prayer shortly before his death.

Speaking to his Father, Jesus said:

“Father, the time has come...”

— John 17:1

Then Jesus prayed:

“This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.”

— John 17:3

Read those words carefully.

Jesus identifies the Father as:

THE ONLY TRUE GOD.

Then Jesus distinguishes himself as:

JESUS CHRIST

WHOM

THE ONLY TRUE GOD SENT.

The distinction is explicit:

YOU — THE ONLY TRUE GOD.

AND

JESUS CHRIST — WHOM YOU SENT.

This is one of the most important verses in my understanding of the identity of God and Jesus Christ.

PAUL IDENTIFIES THE ONE GOD

Paul gives us a remarkably similar statement:

“Yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him.”

— 1 Corinthians 8:6

Who does Paul identify as:

THE ONE GOD?

THE FATHER.

And who does Paul distinguish from that one God?

JESUS CHRIST.

Paul says:

ONE GOD — THE FATHER.

ONE LORD — JESUS CHRIST.

Whatever interpretation someone ultimately adopts concerning Titus 2:13 must be reconciled with this explicit statement.

THERE IS ONE GOD AND ONE MEDIATOR

Paul writes:

“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”

— 1 Timothy 2:5

Again:

ONE GOD.

AND

ONE MEDIATOR.

Who is the mediator?

THE MAN CHRIST JESUS.

Jesus mediates between humanity and God.

Therefore Paul distinguishes the mediator from the God to whom he mediates.

PAUL AGAIN SAYS GOD IS ONE

Paul writes:

“Since indeed there is one God.”

— Romans 3:30

James says:

“You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe—and shudder.”

— James 2:19

Again and again the biblical declaration remains:

GOD IS ONE.

ISAIAH'S POWERFUL DECLARATION

The prophet Isaiah records the words of Yahweh:

“I am Yahweh, and there is no one else. Besides me, there is no God.”

— Isaiah 45:5

Notice the language:

I AM YAHWEH.

THERE IS NO ONE ELSE.

BESIDES ME THERE IS NO GOD.

A few verses later:

“For Yahweh who created the heavens, the God who formed the earth and made it... says: ‘I am Yahweh, and there is no one else.’”

— Isaiah 45:18

And again:

“Isn't it I, Yahweh? There is no other God besides me, a just God and a Savior. There is no one besides me.”

— Isaiah 45:21

These are extraordinary declarations.

God repeatedly describes Himself using singular language:

ME.

HE.

HIM.

This is why I believe the biblical One God is one personal being: the Father.

WHAT ABOUT THE TRINITY?

Traditional Trinitarian Christianity teaches that there is one God who exists eternally as three distinct persons:

THE FATHER.

THE SON.

THE HOLY SPIRIT.

Trinitarians do NOT normally claim that there are three Gods.

They affirm one God.

Therefore, we should represent their belief accurately even when disagreeing with it.

The disagreement concerns what the biblical statement “God is one” means.

Trinitarians understand the one divine being as existing in three persons.

I do not believe that is what Jesus, Paul or the prophets meant.

I believe Scripture identifies the ONE GOD specifically as:

THE FATHER.

This is why 1 Corinthians 8:6 is so important:

“For us there is one God, the Father.”

And why Jesus' words in John 17:3 are equally important:

“That they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.”

THE TRINITY DIAGRAM

A famous diagram traditionally used to explain the Trinity is called the Shield of the Trinity, or Scutum Fidei.

The diagram attempts to communicate that:

THE FATHER IS GOD.

THE SON IS GOD.

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GOD.

Yet:

THE FATHER IS NOT THE SON.

THE SON IS NOT THE HOLY SPIRIT.

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT THE FATHER.

And nevertheless:

THERE IS ONE GOD.

This is a traditional theological explanation of the Trinity.

But my question is very simple:

IS THIS HOW JESUS HIMSELF DEFINED THE ONE TRUE GOD?

When Jesus prayed, he did not address Father, Son and Holy Spirit together as “the only true God.”

He addressed his Father and said:

“YOU, THE ONLY TRUE GOD.”

Then he distinguished himself:

“AND JESUS CHRIST, WHOM YOU SENT.”

That distinction cannot simply be ignored.

THE FATHER AND THE SON

John gives another extremely serious warning:

“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.”

— 1 John 2:22

Notice John's terminology:

THE FATHER

AND

THE SON.

John continues:

“Whoever denies the Son doesn't have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.”

— 1 John 2:23

Again:

THE SON.

THE FATHER.

John does not tell us merely to acknowledge “God.”

He emphasizes the relationship between:

THE FATHER

AND

HIS SON.

This is precisely what Jesus taught.

Jesus said:

“He who receives me receives him who sent me.”

— Matthew 10:40

Jesus is the one sent.

God is the One who sent him.

THE SON HAS A GOD

Even after Jesus was resurrected, he told Mary:

“I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.”

— John 20:17

Notice:

MY FATHER.

MY GOD.

The risen Jesus still calls the Father:

MY GOD.

And in Revelation the glorified Jesus repeatedly speaks of:

“MY GOD.”

— Revelation 3:12

This creates an enormous difficulty, in my view, for interpreting Titus 2:13 as though Paul suddenly identifies Jesus as the very God whom Jesus himself calls:

MY GOD.

THE GOD OF JESUS CHRIST

Paul also speaks explicitly of:

“The God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory.”

— Ephesians 1:17

Notice again:

THE GOD

OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Who is this God?

Paul tells us:

THE FATHER OF GLORY.

This agrees perfectly with Jesus' own words:

“MY GOD.”

THE ORIGINAL QUESTION

Now we can return to Titus 2:13:

“Looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.”

Many modern scholars and translations understand the Greek grammar as applying both “God” and “Savior” to Jesus Christ.

That is a serious grammatical interpretation and should be acknowledged rather than dismissed.

But grammar does not exist in isolation.

We must also ask:

How does Paul normally identify God?

How does Jesus identify God?

Who does Paul call the “one God”?

Who does Jesus call “the only true God”?

Who is “the God of our Lord Jesus Christ”?

Who does the risen Jesus call “my God”?

These questions must all form part of our interpretation.

MY CONCLUSION

After comparing Titus 2:13 with the wider biblical testimony, I am not persuaded that this verse proves Jesus is Almighty God.

I understand the passage within the repeated New Testament distinction between:

OUR GREAT GOD — THE FATHER

AND

OUR SAVIOR — JESUS CHRIST.

I believe this interpretation agrees with the repeated biblical pattern:

GOD AND HIS CHRIST.

THE FATHER AND THE SON.

THE ONE WHO SENT

AND

THE ONE WHO WAS SENT.

THE GOD WHO RAISED JESUS

AND

THE JESUS WHOM GOD RAISED.

THE GOD WHO EXALTED JESUS

AND

THE JESUS WHOM GOD EXALTED.

THE GOD WHO GAVE AUTHORITY

AND

THE SON WHO RECEIVED THAT AUTHORITY.

ONE GOD — THE FATHER.

ONE LORD — JESUS CHRIST.

DOES THIS DIMINISH JESUS?

Absolutely not.

Jesus is the Christ.

Jesus is God's only begotten Son.

Jesus is our Lord.

Jesus is our Savior.

Jesus is the Messiah.

Jesus is the mediator between God and humanity.

Jesus was raised from the dead.

Jesus has been exalted by God.

Jesus has been given authority in heaven and on earth.

Jesus will return.

Jesus will judge the world through the authority God has given him.

And through Jesus Christ we can come to the Father.

Jesus said:

“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.”

— John 14:6

Notice again the beautiful distinction:

JESUS IS THE WAY.

THE FATHER IS THE DESTINATION TO WHOM JESUS LEADS US.

THE FINAL QUESTION

So I ask every reader:

Do not believe something simply because I say it.

Do not reject something simply because your denomination rejects it.

Do not accept something merely because a famous theologian teaches it.

Do not allow the word “heretic” to frighten you away from examining Scripture.

Instead:

BE LIKE THE BEREANS.

“They received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.”

— Acts 17:11

Examine Titus 2:13 yourself.

Study the Greek.

Compare translations.

Read the entire letter to Titus.

Compare Paul with Paul.

Compare Jesus with Paul.

Compare the New Testament with the prophets.

And above everything else, remember what Jesus called the greatest commandment:

“Hear, Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one.”

— Mark 12:29

And remember Jesus' prayer to his Father:

“This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.”

— John 17:3

THE ONE TRUE GOD.

AND

JESUS CHRIST WHOM HE SENT.

Search the Scriptures.

Test everything.

Hold firmly to what is true.

PART 2 CHAPTER 9. THE ALLEGED ALIEN MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS

Thousands of people around the world have claimed that, during alleged alien encounters, they experienced unusual medical examinations, biological procedures, or unexplained physical interventions. This infographic introduces the major themes explored throughout Chapter 9, including reported implants, neurological testing, blood sampling, physical evidence, and the investigations of Dr. David Jacobs, Thomas Reed, L.A. Marzulli, and Dr. Roger Leir. The chapter also compares eyewitness testimony with sceptical viewpoints, scientific research, psychology, and the teaching of Scripture to encourage careful and balanced investigation.

How Did Jesus COME DOWN From Heaven, If He Was Not In Heaven?

John 6:38 For I have come down from heaven, not that I should do My will, but the will of the One having sent Me. Most of Christianity are very confused and deceived into believing in a PRE-EXISTING Christ, who they say was WITH GOD before He was Begotten and BORN in the woman's womb, all because of what Jesus said by saying: HE CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, as we read in scriptures like John 16:25, John 8:23, John 3:13, John 3:31, John 6:38, John 8:23. So in this short article, if you don't mind, can I, little old me, an ordinary man off the street, help out by sharing with you what I now know Jesus meant when He said in verses like John 8:23 And He was saying to them, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

Questions for Trinitarians!

Please give us ONE verse where Jesus is called the ONE TRUE GOD? Please give us ONE verse where GOD is said to be THREE PERSONS? 1. HOW MANY GODS are on the throne of GOD, as you also believe Jesus is GOD? 2. Where is the HOLY Spirit on the throne of GOD? 3. As Jesus has a GOD, how is Jesus that SAME GOD? 4 Where did GOD say He was the SON? 5. Where did Jesus say He is GOD? 6. Where did GOD or Jesus say we MUST BELIEVE Jesus is GOD to be saved? “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. 7. WHERE did GOD say He gave Himself to be crucified, if GOD is Jesus? 8. WHERE did GOD SAY the HOLY Spirit is a separate person? 9. WHERE is the HOLY Spirit in John 1:1? 10. WHERE is the HOLY Spirit on GODS THRONE, does He go on HOLIDAY? Is there ONE GOD, or THREE GODS, on the THRONE of GOD? 11. As there are NOT such teachings, WHY then do you believe what is NOT taught in the whole Bible? 12. As Jesus always taught ONE BIBLICAL SIMPLE FACT, that we MUST believe He is THE SON of His ONE TRUE GOD, how then do you think you will BE SAVED, for NOT believing in the REQUIREMENT of Salvation?

There are NO such teaching saying we MUST BELIEVE Jesus is GOD or A TRINITY!

Jesus said: Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand! Matthew 11:15. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the SON of God? 1 John 5:5. There are NO such teaching saying we MUST BELIEVE Jesus is GOD or A TRINITY, but as St john has said: but he that believeth that *JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD?* 1 John 5:5. Notice we MUST believe Jesus is *THE SON OF GOD* 1 John 5:5. And yet MOST have been DECEIVED into believing the CATHOLIC doctrine that Jesus the Son of His GOD, is instead the SAME GOD He was BORN from, which makes GOD and His SON into LIARS, who have always declared they are a LITERAL Father and SON, and that GOD amazingly GAVE and SENT His SON, who BOTH have never taught, GOD GAVE HIMSELF, as a sacrifice for the sins of the world, but that GOD gave His BEGOTTEN SON Jesus, NOT to condemn us, but save us by GODS own Son PAYING THE PRICE FOR OUR SINS. And as Jesus has said: ETERNAL LIFE is believing His Father GOD, is the only ONE TRUE GOD, alone. John 17:3. *Which is the FIRST commandment one MUST believe, that GOD IS one person, NOT THREE CALLED THE CATHOLIC PAGAN TRINITY, Mark 12:29.* It was shown to you so that you might know that Yahweh is God. There is no one else besides him. Deuteronomy 4:35. This ONE single scripture of Deuteronomy 4:35, PROVES the TRINITY is false, because the TRINITY teaches there are THREE Gods SIDE by SIDE, and not ONE GOD.

My 12 Commandments.

Learn to be a better person, tuning and turning your weaknesses and failures to strengths and triumph's. Don't be angry with anyone, instead show love and patience that comes from our heavenly Father.

Jeremiah 23:5,6 – Our Righteousness

Jeremiah 23:5 – Behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.” Jeremiah 23:6 – In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely; and this is his name whereby he shall be called: Yahweh our righteousness. World English Bible translation. Many quote the above scripture to support the claim that Jesus is Yahweh. The claim is that Jesus is being called “Yahweh (Jehovah) in Jeremiah 23:6, thus Jesus must be Yahweh.

And He said to them, "Having gone into all the world, proclaim the gospel to all the creation. Mark 16:15.

Let's strive to be as gentle as doves and self-controlled, and as 1 Peter 3:8 tells us to have sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind, when declaring the truth, but when the truth is so often rejected, I believe there are times when we need to be aggressive to expose wickedness and seriousness, when there are countless false teachings in most churches today which is no joke.

This is interesting to read what Paul and Trinitarians like Pulpit Commentary say about exposing wickedness:

And do not have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even expose them. Ephesians 5:11.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 11. - And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness. The point of this exhortation is in the adjective "unfruitful." The works of darkness are unfruitful; they produce no goodness, give rise to no satisfaction, to no moral results that are "a joy forever;" or, if fruit they have, it is shame, remorse, despair. Contrast this with the renovating, satisfying, joy-producing, fruits of righteousness. But rather even reprove them. Do not be content with a passive attitude towards them, BUT TAKE THE AGGRESSIVE AND EXPOSE THEIR WICKEDNESS, whether in public or in the domestic circle. A testimony has to be lifted up against ways that are so shameful and that bring down the wrath of God.

Paul continues to say:

But those sinning, REBUKE before all, so that the rest might have FEAR as well. 1 Timothy 5:20.

holding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to REFUTE those who contradict. Titus 1:9.

Correcting False Teachers:

10 For there are also many insubordinate, empty talkers, and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, 11 whom it is necessary to silence, who overthrow whole households, teaching things that they ought not for the sake of base gain. 12 One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”a

13 This testimony is true, for which cause rebuke them severely, so that they may be sound in the faith, 14 not giving heed to Jewish myths and the commandments of men turning away from the truth.

15 To the pure all things are pure; but to those being defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure. Instead, both their mind and conscience are defiled. 16 They profess to know God, but in their works they deny Him, being detestable and disobedient and unfit for any good work.

Matthew 7: Berean Literal Bible

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.

21 Not everyone saying to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of My Father in the heavens. 22 Many will say to Me in that the day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 And then I will declare unto them, ‘I never knew you; depart you from Me, those working lawlessness.’

Below in 2 Peter 2: we find a perfect teaching exposing most of Christianity as being deceived, and most as being false teachers, who wrongly believe, say, and teach Jesus is GOD, which DENIES Jesus as the SON of His One True GOD, John 10:36, John 17:3, DENYING also GOD gave His SON, NOT HIMSELF John 3:16, DENYING also the Father and the SON Luke 9:35, and Yahweh GOD as GOD alone Isaiah 45:18, Isaiah 45:22, Job 23:13, 2 Kings 19:15. Isaiah 44:24, Nehemiah 9:6. Mark 12:29, Deuteronomy 6:4.

Berean Literal Bible Deliverance from False Prophets. 2 Peter 2:

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. 2And 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.

What Emma and I Simon Brown believe?

We believe the MAIN Catholic doctrine of the Trinity is FALSE. GOD, is a single being which is strongly declared in the Bible. I am YAHWEH, and there is no other; THERE IS NO GOD BUT ME. Isaiah 45:5 HCSB. GOD ALMIGHTY makes this clear He is ONE GOD and NOT THREE called The Trinity. We know longer believe in the Trinity. We believe the Trinity is false. There is only ONE TRUE GOD said Jesus, who is His father. And this is eternal life, that they know YOU, THE ONLY TRUE GOD, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. John 17:3. I Simon Brown discovered the Trinity was false in January of 2016. My Wife confessed the same in January of 2017. We now both believe the Trinity is the greatest Christian deception in history. We believe GOD is ONE being as Jesus taught in Mark 12:29. and not THREE called the Trinity. We believe Jesus is truly the begotten SON. You can read my research on this blog and make up your own mind.

Over 100 Questions, If you believe Jesus Is GOD?

Would you PLEASE Help with some Simple Questions? If Jesus were GOD, WHY didn’t Jesus simply say to the Jews (I am GOD) in John 10:36, instead of saying: ‘I am the Son of God’? As Jesus has a GOD, how is Jesus that SAME GOD John 20:17? WHERE did GOD say He was the SON? WHERE did the SON say He was GOD? WHERE is it written ANYWHERE in the Bible saying the HOLY Spirit is a separate person? Is Jesus GOD or the Lamb of GOD? TRUE of FALSE as MOST teach we MUST believe Jesus is GOD to be saved?

The title of this commentary is: FOREKNOWLEDGE AND PREDESTINATION DOES NOT MEAN PREEXISTENCE.

Dear friends, I Simon Brown have added this very useful info I received last year to share with you here on my blog, from Don Smith. Don Smith. I would like to offer some of the Biblical evidence I have gathered that refutes preexistence. In this post below I don't deal with all the verses that seem to imply a preexistence for Jesus. I can do that in separate commentary on each scripture. I’m sure you will recognize that Anthony Buzzard and John Schoenheit have influenced me, as has Dustin Smith and Dale Tuggy, Too many other people to list off the top of my head.

The Challenge Facing Trinitarianism Today.

Anthony F. Buzzard, M.A. (Oxon.), M.A.Th. Contemporary Trinitarianism faces a formidable battery of arguments which have undermined some of its cherished biblical “proofs.” Unknown to most churchgoers there is a corpus of non-Trinitarian (in fact, if not in name) rather than anti-Trinitarian literature which in various ways abandons some of the main props of Trinitarianism. Anti-Trinitarianism has long presented its case by showing that various orthodox Trinitarians have explained key Trinitarian verses in a unitarian way.

THE MOST SHOCKING BIBLE PROPHECY MATTHEW 7-23!

In this new video I reveal how the TRUE PROPHETS, Teachers and preachers like Sir Anthony Buzzard are mostly rejected, showing how History has repeated itself, while the FALSE Teachers and preachers are mostly accepted. I Simon Brown then go on to reveal the SHOCKING TRUTH, and demonstrate who were the FIRST FALSE PROPHETS, which is oddly revealed to us by the very FALSE PROPHETS of today, who we were so often warned about by Jesus, John Paul, and Peter, that we were not to be deceived by, and yet we discover a SHOCKING truth, how most of Christianity have followed in the footsteps of the very first FALSE PROPHETS.

Who is Jesus?

Who is Jesus?. He is GOD Almighty’s only BEGOTTEN Son, John 3:16, who became the Word of GOD for His GOD, Rev 19:13, He is the image of the invisible God, Colossians 1:15, And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent, Colossians 1:18, and the High Priest, Advocate, and Mediator, Hebrews 5:10, 6:20, 7:3, and the Messenger, and prophet, Matthew 21:11, Luke 24:19, Acts 3:22-23, Deuteronomy 18:15, He is the Messiah (who is called Christ), John 4:25, He is the bread of life, John 6:48, He is the light of the world. John 8:12, He is the way and the truth and the life, John 14:6, He is the gate, John 10:9, He is the resurrection and the life, John 11:25, For through Him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. Ephesians 2:18. We PRAISE Jesus for bringing us to His Father, the only ONE TRUE GOD: 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. Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living GOD. Matthew 16:16. And that by believing, you may have life, in his name. John 20:31. Amen. Simon Brown.

THE DANGER OF SIN:

When we WILFULLY sin and let sin in, we let the DEVIL in, and throw GOD in the bin.

By NOT letting sin in we are proving to GOD and His Son we love and respect them.

DON’T let Sex RULE your head, but the word of GOD instead, which proves you love GOD more instead.

Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” John 14:21.

Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. John 14:23.

Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.” John 8:51.

Don’t be deceived like most who live by GRACE on STEROIDS, and discover you were a foolish Virgin.

THE SHOCKING TRUTH:

There are many false gods, with many false Christ’s, with many false faiths, with many false prophets, who are mostly accepted, with many false teachings, with most being deceived, with many deceptions, with many BLACK HOLES that lead to HELL, where MOST go the easy way.

There is only one true GOD, and one true CHRIST, and one true FAITH, and few TRUE prophets who are mostly rejected by their correct teachings who are mostly neglected.

There is one NARROW road that leads to heaven that only goes through the one true Christ that gets us to the ALMIGHTY GOD where MANY are called, but FEW are CHOSEN.

And yet all is needed to gain eternal life, is to believe and follow what GOD and His Son only ever taught, that GOD is one person, and that Christ is the only Begotten SON of the ONE TRUE GOD, and that by believing we must take up our cross and follow Christ.

Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. John 5:24. but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. John 20:31. And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. John 17:3.

Evolution Blown to Pieces. Read for FREE.

Evolutionist teach and believe the age of the Earth must be 4.54 billion years old for natural selection to progress and work for organs to adapt into complex life. However the Evolutionary theory is in complete conflict with all the present day authorities who are in absolute agreement with the Natural History Museum who all believe the Earth is only 4,600 million years old, because of the Geological Column of the Earth's history. This poses a ''severe problem'' for the theory of Evolution. It would simply not be possible for natural selection to adapt from single-celled organisms into highly complex life. The chances of Evolution in such a short time would be like seeing pigs fly. There again we now know fish can fly, which Evolutionist believe and teach jumped out of the water and became complex you and me. The fact is seeing pigs fly would still be a 100 billion times greater possibility than Evolution. Read my book for FREE Evolution Blown to Pieces.

There is absolutely NO evidence of (one single ancestor to a single insect. Or Animal. Or us humans, revealing their ancestors showing transition, transformation, adaptation, changeover, which is a process or a period of changing from one state or condition to another called Evolution. EVOLUTION IS THE GREATEST DECEPTION IN THE WORLD.

Only WISE people can look up into the glorious complex heavens, and understand the wonders of this earth, the complex DNA, the building blocks of life, could NOT possibly have come into existence by random chance.

But as we are told, throughout the Bible, all the glorious wonders we see, through our complex human eyes, were created by an intelligent designer. As our complex clocks work, houses, aeroplanes, boats, and cars and the amazing technology of computers, of which NONE came into being were caused by a BIG BANG, which does not create, but DESTROYS everything in its path, so was all the wonders we have today were built by intelligent designers called HUMANS.

This explains why Sir Isaac Newton, Biography Philosopher, Astronomer, Physicist, Scientist, Mathematician (1643–1727) understood the truth and said: The true God is a living, intelligent and powerful Being. Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who set the planets in motion.

God governs all things and knows all that is or can be done.

This most beautiful system of the sun, planets and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being.

This Being governs all things, not as the soul of the world, but as Lord over all; and on account of his dominion he is wont to be called Lord God. Sir Isaac Newton: https://wwwrealdiscoveriesorg-simon.blogspot.com/2015/01/sir-isaac-newton-and-albert-einstein.html

Heritage of Evidence: In the British Museum Paperback.

In today's atheistic climate most people have no idea how much powerful evidence exists for the literal accuracy and authenticity of the biblical record. The British Museum holds a huge number of discoveries that provide direct corroboration and background confirmation for an immense sweep of Bible history. ‘Heritage of Evidence in the British Museum’ by Dr Peter Masters provides a survey of Bible-authenticating exhibits. It has been designed as a guide for visitors, and also to give pleasure and interest to readers unable to tour the galleries. It is also most suitable for people who need to see the accuracy and inspiration of the Bible. Order a copy from here. See more books on Bible evidence at the bottom of this page.

God/Jesus is the source of ALL love, Mercy, Forgiveness and Grace. Jesus was nailed to a cross.

NOT to condemn us. BUT to SAVE us. Why is Jesus second coming taking so long? But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:8 - 9. King James Bible. Do you know Him? He is coming back ''in our life time'' to take ALL the people who accepted His love, Mercy, Forgiveness and Grace. The good news is, for the ones who follow and put their trust in Jesus will live on for ever and will go in a perfect paradise to come, where God will restore the world back to being more than perfect. And: He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." Revelation 21:4 As born again believers, we look forward for the time when Jesus will restore the world back to Paradise; and where there will never again be any more suffering or pain, dying or killing. We look forward to seeing the day when, "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them." Isaiah 11:6. Dear friend, WILL YOU BE THERE? Where will your soul end up? Are you saved? Click here to give your life to Jesus. Jesus came to set us free by reversing the curse of the earth and death that came because of Adam's disobedience, when the earth was cursed. Once we accept Jesus, as He was raised from the dead, so are we directly at death and are ''set free'' from the curse, sin and the spiritual prison called (HADES) followed by Hell and death. This is why Jesus was crucified.

NEVER GIVE UP SEEKING GOD AND HIS TRUTH

Never give up loving God. Never give up loving one another. Never give up praying. Never give up repenting when you have done wrong. Never give up forgiving others. And never give up SEEKING, STUDYING and SEARCHING the Scriptures for truth. Do not simply believe something because I say it. Do not believe something merely because a church, denomination, pastor, priest or teacher tells you it is true. SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES FOR YOURSELF. This is exactly what the Bereans did. The Bible praises them because they listened with an open mind, but then carefully checked what they had been taught against the Scriptures: “These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” — Acts 17:11, KJV What a wonderful example for every Christian. They did not blindly accept what they were told. THEY SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY. They examined the evidence. They tested what they heard. They wanted to know whether these things were really true. We should do exactly the same today. KEEP SEARCHING. KEEP LEARNING. KEEP PRAYING. KEEP FORGIVING. KEEP LOVING. KEEP FOLLOWING JESUS. AND NEVER STOP SEARCHING THE SCRIPTURES FOR THE TRUTH. Because discovering the truth about God and His Son Jesus Christ is a treasure worth seeking for the rest of our lives. “Search the scriptures.” — John 5:39, KJV Quick Commentary by Simon Brown REAL DISCOVERIES

A REMARKABLE EVIDENCE FOR THE BIBLE — THE UNBELIEF IT PREDICTED

There is a remarkable fact about the Bible that is often overlooked. The Bible never predicted that everyone would believe its message. Quite the opposite. Jesus and the biblical writers repeatedly warned that MANY PEOPLE WOULD NOT BELIEVE. Nearly 2,000 years later, that unbelief continues. Millions of people reject the Bible. Millions do not believe Jesus was the Messiah. Millions do not believe in the God whom Jesus proclaimed. But here is the fascinating point: THE BIBLE SAID THIS WOULD HAPPEN. JESUS SAID THE WORLD DID NOT KNOW GOD Shortly before His death, Jesus prayed to His Father: “O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee...” — John 17:25, KJV Notice what Jesus said: “THE WORLD HATH NOT KNOWN THEE.” Jesus did not predict that His message would immediately convince the entire world. He recognised that much of the world DID NOT KNOW GOD. JESUS SAID MANY WOULD CHOOSE THE BROAD WAY Jesus gave another sobering warning: “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and MANY there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and FEW there be that find it.” — Matthew 7:13–14, KJV Notice the contrast: MANY — THE BROAD WAY. FEW — FIND THE WAY TO LIFE. Jesus never taught that the majority would necessarily accept the truth. JESUS ALSO SAID PEOPLE COULD SEE WITHOUT PERCEIVING Jesus said: “Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.” — Matthew 13:13, KJV People could actually hear Jesus speaking. They could see what He was doing. Yet many still did not believe. Jesus therefore anticipated something that continues to happen: PEOPLE WOULD HEAR THE MESSAGE AND STILL REJECT IT. DO NON-BELIEVERS “PROVE” THE BIBLE? We should state this carefully. The existence of unbelievers does not, by itself, prove every claim contained in the Bible. However, widespread unbelief is certainly CONSISTENT WITH what Jesus and the biblical writers said we should expect. And that raises an interesting question: If unbelief in Jesus and the biblical message is supposed to disprove Christianity, why did Jesus Himself repeatedly warn His followers that unbelief would occur? The Bible did not promise: “EVERYONE WILL BELIEVE.” Instead, it warned us that many WOULD NOT. THE PROPHECY OF ISAIAH This pattern existed long before the ministry of Jesus. Jesus quoted Isaiah: “By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive.” — Matthew 13:14; compare Isaiah 6:9 Jesus applied this ancient warning to the unbelief He encountered during His own ministry. Therefore unbelief was not something that took Jesus by surprise. THE QUESTION FOR EVERY READER The important question is not: DO MOST PEOPLE BELIEVE? Truth is not determined by a majority vote. The important question is: IS IT TRUE? Was Jesus really the Messiah? Did God really raise Jesus from the dead? Is the Bible historically reliable? Were its prophecies fulfilled? Does the evidence support its claims? Those questions must be investigated on their own merits. DO NOT FOLLOW THE CROWD — FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE If millions believe something, that does not automatically make it true. And if millions reject something, that does not automatically make it false. Jesus Himself warned that the way followed by the majority is not necessarily the way leading to life. So investigate for yourself. READ. SEARCH. QUESTION. COMPARE THE EVIDENCE. OPEN YOUR BIBLE. And above all, seek the God whom Jesus called: “O RIGHTEOUS FATHER.” — John 17:25 Jesus said: “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” — Matthew 11:15, KJV Quick Commentary by Simon Brown REAL DISCOVERIES

The Pearl Of Great Price.

I believe there are many many people who are spiritually hungry and are spiritually searching for evidence of God, which I believe was clearly illustrated by Jesus in His parable called The Pearl Of Great Price in Matthew 13:45-46. Although this parable told by Jesus was illustrating the value and preciousness of the kingdom, Jesus also illustrated a merchant, who was "searching" for that "pearl of great price". which I believe was a person who was on a mission to find the truth of God. (Just as people who are looking at Bible Discoveries and The Shroud of Turin) who find the truth of God, if they have open hearts. Who believe there is something out there worth looking for, or they would not be seeking for it. As was the merchant, "searching" for that "pearl of great price". After seeking (Bible Evidence) They discovered The Pearl Of Great Price. Jesus Christ himself (becoming Born Again) and experience the ultimate blessings of the "kingdom of heaven" I pray ALL scoffers and the Doubting Thomas will change their way of thinking and use Bible Evidence to bring the lost to faith and know the saving grace of Jesus Christ, and testify to the majority of the world who are lost and not as blessed as born again believers, who clearly need to see the evidence of Jesus to bring them to faith. Which is precisely why Jesus said in Matthew 7:7 seek, and ye shall find.

(The prophecy still being fulfilled today confirming the accuracy of Jesus teachings)

He (Jesus) answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you (Believers) to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, (The truth regarding God and his Kingdom) but to them (Unbelievers) it is not given. For whosoever hath, (Faith in Jesus ) to him shall be given, (The Holy Spirit teaches believers the truth and mysteries) and he shall have more abundance: (For ever learning the truth) but whosoever hath not, (Unbelievers) from him shall be taken away (Satan takes the truth from Unbelievers) even that he hath. (any truth that is told to unbelievers is removed) Matthew 13:11 - 12. (King James Version) Quick Commentary by Simon Brown.

WHY CAN BRILLIANT MINDS LOOK AT CREATION AND NOT SEE A CREATOR?

Why do some of the brightest, most highly educated and scientifically accomplished people in the world look at this extraordinary planet — filled with life, information, order and astonishing complexity — yet conclude that no Creator is necessary? How can two people look at the same universe, the same stars, the same Earth and the same extraordinary complexity of life, yet reach completely different conclusions? One sees evidence of an INTELLIGENT CREATOR. The other sees only natural processes. The Bible gives us a spiritual explanation that deserves serious consideration. Jesus said: “And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” — John 3:19, KJV Jesus was teaching something profound about human nature. Our conclusions are not always determined by intelligence alone. The HEART matters too. A person can possess extraordinary intelligence, education and scientific knowledge and still reject the things of God. According to Jesus, human beings can resist the light because they prefer darkness. This does not mean that every unbelieving scientist is deliberately dishonest or consciously rejecting evidence. Nor should Christians assume that intelligence and education are enemies of faith. Many outstanding scientists throughout history have believed in God. The deeper biblical point is that intelligence alone does not guarantee spiritual understanding. THE APOSTLE PAUL EXPLAINS FURTHER Paul wrote: “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” — 1 Corinthians 2:14, KJV What one person considers foolishness, another may recognise as profound truth. The Bible teaches that there is more involved in knowing God than possessing a brilliant mind. There must also be a willingness to SEEK Him. SIN CAN DARKEN THE HUMAN HEART The Bible repeatedly warns that sin can influence the way human beings think and perceive spiritual truth. When people continually choose darkness rather than light, their hearts can become hardened. A hardened heart can then affect the mind. And a person who refuses God's truth can become increasingly vulnerable to deception. This is why Scripture repeatedly calls people to turn back to God. BUT THIS MESSAGE IS FOR BELIEVERS TOO Christians should never read these passages and simply point their fingers at unbelievers. We must examine OUR OWN hearts as well. Religious people can also become blinded by pride, tradition, prejudice and unwillingness to reconsider what they believe. Every one of us should therefore ask: AM I REALLY SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH? Would I change my beliefs if the evidence showed me that I was wrong? Am I listening to God — or merely defending what I already want to believe? LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE Look at the universe. Look at our extraordinary planet. Look at life. Look at DNA. Look at the astonishing order and complexity found throughout nature. Then ask one of the greatest questions a human being can ask: WHY DOES ANYTHING EXIST AT ALL? Do not believe merely because someone tells you to believe. But neither should you reject God merely because someone tells you that science has made Him unnecessary. SEARCH. QUESTION. INVESTIGATE. OPEN YOUR HEART. AND SEEK THE TRUTH. “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” — Matthew 11:15, KJV Quick Commentary by Simon Brown REAL DISCOVERIES

DID YOU KNOW?

Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed, and most biblical scholars and historians see the theories of his non-existence as effectively refuted. In antiquity, the existence of Jesus was never denied by those who opposed Christianity. Geoffrey Blainey notes that a few scholars have argued that Jesus did not exist, but writes that Jesus' life was in fact "astonishingly documented" by the standards of the time - more so than any of his contemporaries - with numerous books, stories and memoirs written about him.

THE PEARL OF PROPHECY — STILL BEING FULFILLED TODAY

One of the most remarkable prophecies quoted by Jesus concerns something we can still observe today: People can SEE the evidence, yet not perceive its meaning. They can HEAR the message, yet not understand it. Why? Jesus explained: “Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.” — Matthew 13:13, KJV Jesus then pointed directly to an ancient prophecy from Isaiah: “And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive.” — Matthew 13:14, KJV Think about this carefully. Jesus was quoting a prophecy written centuries before His ministry, yet He said it was being fulfilled among the people listening to Him. But why could they not understand? Jesus continued: “For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed...” — Matthew 13:15, KJV Notice those final words: “THEIR EYES THEY HAVE CLOSED.” The problem was not simply a lack of evidence. Jesus pointed to the condition of the HEART. A person can examine the Bible, hear the words of Jesus and look at evidence concerning God, yet remain unconvinced if they have already closed their heart and mind to the possibility that it could be true. Jesus continued: “...lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.” — Matthew 13:15, KJV What an extraordinary statement. SEE WITH THEIR EYES. HEAR WITH THEIR EARS. UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART. TURN BACK. AND BE HEALED. A PROPHECY STILL WORTH THINKING ABOUT TODAY Nearly 2,000 years after Jesus spoke these words, people still respond to Him in dramatically different ways. Some examine the evidence and believe. Some investigate and remain unconvinced. Others reject Jesus, God and the Bible without seriously examining the evidence at all. Jesus warned us about something deeply human: We can look without truly seeing. We can listen without truly hearing. And we can approach evidence with a heart already closed to its conclusion. This is why I believe the words of Jesus remain extraordinarily relevant today. BUT JESUS ALSO GAVE HOPE Jesus did not merely speak about those who would not understand. He then turned to His disciples and said: “But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.” — Matthew 13:16, KJV The message is therefore not that an unbeliever can NEVER understand. The invitation is to SEEK. To listen. To investigate. To question. To open your heart to the possibility that God is real and that Jesus truly is His Messiah. Jesus said elsewhere: “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.” — Matthew 7:7, KJV QUICK COMMENTARY Evidence alone cannot force someone to believe. A person must be willing to examine it. If we approach God, Jesus and the Bible having already decided that none of them could possibly be true, then even powerful evidence may mean very little to us. But if we genuinely seek the truth with an open heart and mind, we may begin to see things we had previously overlooked. So whether you are a believer, an unbeliever, or simply unsure: SEARCH. QUESTION. INVESTIGATE. READ THE WORDS OF JESUS FOR YOURSELF. And follow the evidence wherever it leads. “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” — Matthew 11:15, KJV Quick Commentary by Simon Brown REAL DISCOVERIES

CAN LIFE COME FROM NOTHING?

The extraordinary complexity of life raises one of the greatest questions we can ever ask: WHO CREATED IT ALL? A clock does not assemble itself. Its intricate parts point to intelligence, purpose and a designer. How much more does the astonishing complexity of life, the heavens and the earth point us toward an ALMIGHTY INTELLIGENT CREATOR? Who is He? The Bible gives us this beautiful answer: “And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD and said: ‘O LORD, the God of Israel, enthroned above the cherubim, you are THE God, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth.’” — 2 Kings 19:15 The Creator is THE ONE TRUE GOD ALMIGHTY — the God who made heaven and earth. And according to the New Testament, God accomplished His saving purpose through His Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Do you know them? Jesus prayed: “And this is eternal life, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” — John 17:3 To discover the One True God and His Son Jesus Christ is to discover a treasure greater than anything this world can offer — the hope of resurrection and everlasting life. Jesus also declared: “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” — Matthew 24:14, KJV And He said: “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” — Matthew 11:15, KJV The Apostle Paul explained the message of salvation: “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that GOD HATH RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, thou shalt be saved.” — Romans 10:9, KJV Notice those wonderful words: GOD RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD. The God who raised Jesus has also promised resurrection and everlasting life to those who belong to Him. So search for the truth. Open your Bible. Learn about THE ONE TRUE GOD and the Son whom He sent. You may discover the greatest hidden treasure of your life. Amen.

DO NOT PUT YOUR TRUST IN MORTAL MAN — PUT YOUR TRUST IN GOD

“Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save.”— Psalm 146:3 Look at the heavens. Look at the magnificent universe, the earth, the oceans and the extraordinary complexity of life. Consider DNA — the remarkable information-bearing molecule at the heart of living organisms. A precision clock points us toward a clockmaker. How much more should the extraordinary order and complexity found throughout creation cause us to ask: WHO CREATED ALL OF THIS? The Bible gives us the answer: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”— Genesis 1:1 The heavens and the earth point us toward the awesome power and wisdom of their Creator. The Bible asks: “Is anything too hard for the LORD?”— Genesis 18:14 And again: “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?”— Jeremiah 32:27 The prophet Jeremiah declared: “Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee.”— Jeremiah 32:17 What powerful words. NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR GOD. Yet mankind repeatedly places its confidence in human beings rather than in the God who gave us life. Scripture warns: “Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save.”— Psalm 146:3 Dear friends, let us seriously consider what the Bible tells us, because the question of God, salvation and everlasting life concerns our ultimate future. Jesus said: “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.”— Matthew 11:15 The Psalms declare: “It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.”— Psalm 118:8 And: “Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.”— Psalm 40:4 Isaiah warns: “Stop trusting in man, who has but a breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?”— Isaiah 2:22 And Jeremiah gives an equally serious warning: “Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans, who rely on human strength and turn their hearts away from the LORD.”— Jeremiah 17:5 The message could hardly be clearer: DO NOT PLACE YOUR ULTIMATE TRUST IN MAN. PUT YOUR TRUST IN GOD. Human beings come and go. Kingdoms rise and fall. Governments change. Human knowledge changes. But God remains. SEEK THE LORD WHILE HE MAY BE FOUND. Jesus declared: “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”— Matthew 24:14 Do not allow the distractions of this temporary life to prevent you from searching for the truth about God. Open your Bible. Seek God. Learn the teachings of Jesus Christ. Put your trust in the One who gave you life. And follow the Messiah whom God sent. “Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near.”— Isaiah 55:6 If you would like to learn more about following Jesus, surrendering your life to God and discovering the biblical message of salvation: CLICK HERE:http://wwwrealdiscoveriesorg-simon.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/surrender-your-heart-to-god.html Amen.

How can God be THREE when God—and His Son Jesus—declare that GOD IS ONE?

Dear Friends, For months now, day and night, I have been carrying out serious and intensive research into one of the most important doctrines in Christianity—the Trinity. During this time, I have had hundreds of discussions and debates with Trinitarian Bible teachers and scholars, repeatedly asking for clear biblical explanations of the doctrine. My central question has remained remarkably simple: How can God be THREE when God—and His Son Jesus—declare that GOD IS ONE? After countless hours of praying, studying, researching, questioning, comparing Scripture, and debating the evidence, I have reached a firm conclusion. I do not believe there is a mysterious biblical doctrine called the Trinity that Christians are required to accept without being able to understand it. Instead, I believe Scripture presents something far simpler: GOD IS GOD ALONE. “Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like Me.” — Isaiah 46:9 And Jesus is the true and literal: SON OF GOD. Jesus Himself said: “…because I said, ‘I am Son of God’?” — John 10:36, BLB Even more importantly, Jesus identified His Father as: “THE ONLY TRUE GOD.” “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You sent.” — John 17:3, BLB This takes us directly back to what Jesus called the foremost commandment: “The foremost is, ‘Hear this O Israel: The Lord our God is One Lord.’” — Mark 12:29, BLB Jesus was repeating the great declaration of Deuteronomy 6:4: GOD IS ONE. For me, therefore, the great mystery is no longer “How can three persons be one God?” The mystery I am now left asking is: How did so many sincere Christians come to believe that God must be understood as three persons when Jesus Himself reaffirmed that God is one and repeatedly distinguished Himself as God's Son? When Jesus asked His disciples who they believed He was, Peter answered: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” — Matthew 16:16, BLB And when John explained exactly why he wrote his Gospel, he said: “But these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.” — John 20:31, BLB That is the confession I believe Christians should examine very carefully: ONE GOD — THE FATHER. JESUS CHRIST — HIS SON AND MESSIAH. I encourage everyone: do not simply believe me, and do not simply believe tradition. Read these Scriptures for yourself, examine their context, compare the evidence, pray for understanding, and decide what you believe the Word of God actually teaches.

Articles below on history’s greatest scientists, Sir Isaac Newton.

The history's greatest scientists mainly believed in creation by God. English physicist and mathematician Sir Isaac Newton (described in his own day as a "natural philosopher") who is widely recognised as one of the most influential scientists of all time and as a key figure in the scientific revolution. Although the laws of motion and universal gravitation became Newton's best-known discoveries, he warned against using them to view the Universe as a mere machine, as if akin to a great clock. He said, "Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who set the planets in motion. God governs all things and knows all that is or can be done.
