Join me on this journey. Let's seek the truth together! 💡 Proverbs 8:34-36 Blessed is the man who hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my door posts. For whoever finds me finds life, and will obtain favor from Yahweh. But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me love death.” Psalm 84: 11 For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly. 12 Yahweh of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you. 1 John 5:5 Now who is the one overcoming the world, except the one believing that Jesus is the Son of God.

What does the Word of God NOT say and DOES say in John 17:3?

What does the Word of God NOT say and DOES say in John 17:3?

What does the Word of God NOT say and DOES say in John 17:3?

1. This is eternal life,  that they know you,  THE ONLY TRUE GOD, who is the Son.

2. This is eternal life,  that they know you,  THE ONLY TRUE GOD, and michael the Angel. 

3. This is eternal life, that they know you,  THE ONLY TRUE GOD, and Muhammad.

There are NO such teaching in the whole word of God.

What does the Word of God teach in John 17,3?

Jesus did say:  This is eternal life,  that they know you,  THE ONLY TRUE GOD,  and Jesus christ whom you have sent. 

Eternal life comes by knowing God the father is God alone, father alone,  creator alone, and The ONLY ONE TRUE GOD ALONE, and that Jesus is the only begotten Son and Christ OF GOD! 
ANY OTHER CHRIST IS A FALSE CHRIST!  SB. 
 More quotes on the TRINITY!

“The doctrines of the Logos [i.e., the “Word,” a designation for Christ in John 1] and the Trinity received their shape from Greek Fathers, who . . . were MUCH influenced, directly or indirectly, by the PLATONIC PHILOSOPHY . . . That errors and corruptions crept into the Church from this source CAN NOT BE DENIED” (The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge, Samuel Macauley Jackson, editor, 1911, Vol. 9, p. 91)

A Dictionary of Religious Knowledge notes that many say that the Trinity “is a corruption borrowed from the heathen religions, and ingrafted on the Christian faith.” The Paganism in Our Christianity declares: “The origin of the [Trinity] is entirely pagan.” Historian Will Durant observed: “Christianity did not destroy paganism; it adopted it. . . . From Egypt came the ideas of a divine trinity.” In the book A Statement of Reasons, Andrews Norton says of the Trinity: “We can trace the history of this doctrine, and discover its source, not in the Christian revelation, but in the Platonic philosophy . . . The Trinity is not a doctrine of Christ and his Apostles, but a fiction of the school of the later Platonists.” History confirms that the Trinity was borrowed from pagans and was in existence centuries before Jesus came to the earth. Long after his death, it was promoted by those who had been influenced by pagan philosophies and who had apostatized from the true worship of God as taught by Jesus and the apostles.

The TRINITY CONTRADICTS Deuteronomy 4:35!

Deuteronomy 4:35

The TRINITY faith believe and teach there are three separate persons who are each GOD, and yet are not three GODS, but ONE GOD.

The Trinity.

Trinitarians say, they believe and teach in what the Holy Bible says and teaches.

The Trinity.

The problem is, when we seek out the truth for ourselves, which I failed to do when I was a deceived Trinitarian for ten deceived years, because I simply believed what I was taught, when instead simply listening to Jesus, saying: seek and we will find Matthew 7:7, we certainly do find there are NO such Scriptures in the whole Bible saying GOD is THREE PERSONS, called the TRINITY.

The Trinity.

Please read on, and see how this shocking truth gets worse.

When seeking we also discover there are NO such teachings saying we MUST believe in the TRINITY for salvation, or that we MUST believe Jesus is GOD to be saved, which makes me often wonder, how could so many Christians be wrong with what most believe.

With that in mind, it's easy to understand how there are no complications in the Bible about salvation, as the Bible is very plain and clear about what true Christians must do and believe for salvation.

However, we see again the accuracy of the Bible, saying how the Devil has deceived the whole world in Revelation 12:9, which is now obvious this includes most so called Christians.

What I believe most fail to understand, is how the deceptions we all face, are often a part of our Spiritual growth, helping us become a true Christian, and encouraging us to seek out the truth with fear and trembling Philippians 2:12, so that we will be overcomer's and defeat the enemies terrible deceptions and black hole's that lead to HELL.

Just as Christians must face all types of fiery trials, test's, and tribulations, to test our faith, as the Bible teaches.

1 Peter 4:12 Berean Literal Bible

Beloved, do not be surprised at the fire among you taking place for a trial to you, as if a strange thing were happening to you.

Which all work together for the good:

Romans 8:28 And we know that God works together all things for good to those loving God, to those being called according to His purpose.

Confessing and admitting to GOD, we were wrong, I believe reveals a humble heart.

By not confessing when we are wrong, when the Biblical facts have been presented, reveals the opposite, that we have a prideful heart.

And we know how GOD rightly so hates PRIDE.

And maybe that's how GOD removes the pride from our hearts, and filters out the prideful people from His perfect world to come, for those who refuse to humble themselves by refusing the Biblical facts and refuse to accept when they are wrong.

John 17:3

John 17:3

Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, 

the only true God, 

and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.

I again ask myself, If the TRINITY was true and Jesus was GOD, surely there would be teachings throughout the whole Bible saying salvation depends on believing GOD is three called the TRINITY and that we MUST believe GOD is the SON, or the SON is GOD?

In fact this is what the Christians who believe in the TRINITY and that Jesus is GOD say and believe, and is the foundations of their faith, saying we MUST believe what they believe to be saved.

But I keep searching, and all I see and find with the eyes GOD gave me are countless Scriptures teaching the opposite to what most Christians believe, saying GOD is ONE PERSON and GOD ALONE, on His own as seen in just a few of the most important Scriptures like Deuteronomy 6:4, Mark 12:29, John 17:3

The truth is, if we are hungry for the truth, and when we pray for the truth, and read the word of GOD, we do not discover the TRINITY, but instead we very easily stumble on countless Trinitarian Bible contradictions against the word of GOD.

The Bible is bursting with Scriptures, SHOCKINGLY teaching the opposite, that Yahweh the One True Father GOD of Israel, is GOD ALONE and Father ALONE, and creator alone.

Please let me prove this to you, by simply looking at just one Scripture in the Bible, by turning to Deuteronomy 4:35

World English Bible

It was shown to you so that you might know that Yahweh is God. There is no one else besides him.

Did you see that?



There is no one else besides him.

The Hebrew word is in the Englishman's Concordance, as,

mil·ḇad·dōw — 1 Occurrence

Deuteronomy 4:35

HEB: אֵ֥ין ע֖וֹד מִלְבַדּֽוֹ׃

KJV: [there is] none else beside him.

INT: there other him

Notice what the Trinitarians translators themselves tell us the meaning of the Hebrews word מִלְבַדּֽוֹ׃‪‬

besides Him.

Strong's Concordance

bad: separation, a part

Original Word: בּד

Part of Speech: Noun Masculine

Transliteration: bad

Phonetic Spelling: (bad)

Definition: separation, a part

NAS Exhaustive Concordance

Word Origin

from badad

Definition

separation, a part

NASB Translation

addition* (1), alone (58), alone* (4), apart (2), aside (2), bars (1), besides* (40), disease (1), except (1), except* (1), himself (6), including (1), itself (7), limbs (2), Myself (1), only (11), part of each (1), poles (37), separate (1), themselves (15), unless* (1), without* (1).


Notice also the last word in the Scripture of Deuteronomy 4:35 says besides (Him).

The word HIM is a singular word for ONE PERSON ALONE.

Notice again how we read the Trinitarian translators say the word for (besides), means:  alone, except, himself, itself, Myself, only,  separate, themselves .

So the Trinitarian translators agree, that the words saying (besides Him), mean alone, except, himself, itself, Myself, only,  separate, themselves.

And yet the TRINITY faith contradict Deuteronomy 4:35 by them saying GOD has another TWO separate persons, BESIDES Him, and NEXT to Him and WITH Him, meaning GOD is NOT by Himself, or on His own, or the ONLY ONE, or ALONE, as we clearly read in Deuteronomy 4:35.

In fact, we never, ever read GOD is described as a PLURAL being, meaning more then ONE.

If the TRINITY were true and correct, we should read the PLURAL words for GOD saying: (BEINGS), or (US), or (WE), or (THEM), or (PERSONS).

But instead we only ever read the singular words for The ONE TRUE Father and GOD alone, proving HE is The ONE TRUE GOD on His own and always saying: (I), (ME), (MY HAND), (HE).

Conclusion:

The TRINITY is an outright contradiction with countless Scriptures like Deuteronomy 4:35, and proves without a doubt how Yahweh the One True Father GOD of Israel, is GOD ALONE, and GOD on (HIS) own, and Father ALONE, and the creator alone, just as we are told in Isaiah 44:24: 

Thus says Yahweh, your Redeemer, and he who formed you from the womb: "I am Yahweh, who makes all things; who ALONE stretches out the heavens; who spreads out the earth BY MYSELF.

GOD is ONE PERSON AND GOD ALONE.


The TRUTH is, there are ONLY countless Scriptures saying and teaching what we MUST believe for salvation.

Here are just a few:

John 20:31.
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. 

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. 

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave the only begotten Son, so that everyone believing in Him should not perish, but should have eternal life.

The obvious fact is, how can we believe Jesus is BOTH, as most Christians believe, believing GOD is His own Begotten SON, and the Begotten SON of GOD is GOD Himself, while also believing Jesus is the SON of His GOD?

Are there such teachings saying we MUST believe Jesus is both?

Well, I have been looking for a long time now, and as we have already seen, unless you use the countless false Trinitarian Bible translations, we will not find any teachings saying we MUST believe Jesus is both GOD and at the same time is the SON of GOD.

1 John 2:2 tells us by not understating the correct relationship between GOD the Father and His SON, which is by believing GOD is His own Begotten SON, and the Begotten SON is GOD, we are then DENYING the Christ, which also DENIES the Father and the SON, which according to 1 John 2:22 makes us a liar.

It is obvious to me at least, by believing Jesus is GOD, and the Holy Spirit is a separate person, who are also WITH GOD as most teach, also DENIES that GOD is the ONLY ONE TRUE GOD ALONE, and that BREAKS the greatest and most important Commandment in Deuteronomy 6:4 says: Hear, Israel: Yahweh is our God; Yahweh is ONE: (PERSON).

My research is not according to what I say, but according to what the Biblical fact's say and prove.

The FALSE Interpretation of Colossians 1:16

.

The FALSE Interpretation of Colossians 1:16


The FALSE Interpretation of Colossians 1:16

Does Colossians 1:16 Really Teach That Jesus Created the Genesis Universe?

Research by Simon Brown

One of the most frequently quoted passages used to prove that Jesus is God and the Creator of the universe is Colossians 1:16.

A good example can be found on the popular Trinitarian website CompellingTruth.org, where Colossians 1:16 is cited in support of the belief that Jesus created all things.

The English Standard Version (ESV) reads:

"For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him."

At first glance, this appears to teach that Jesus personally created the heavens and the earth described in Genesis.

But does Paul actually say that?


The First Translation Difference

The Greek text begins with the words:

ἐν αὐτῷ

These words literally mean:

"In Him."

For this reason, translations such as the Berean Study Bible translate the verse:

"For in Him all things were created..."

rather than:

"For by Him all things were created..."

This difference is significant.

The Greek preposition ἐν (en) normally means "in." Some translators understand it as expressing agency and therefore translate it "by Him," while others retain the more literal wording "in Him."

Whether Paul intended "in," "through," or "by" is therefore an interpretive decision rather than something explicitly stated by the Greek text.

For that reason, every reader should carefully examine the context before deciding what Paul meant.


The Greek Verb

The next words translated:

"were created"

come from the Greek verb:

ἐκτίσθη (ektisthē)

This is the aorist passive form of κτίζω (ktizō), meaning:

  • to create

  • to make

  • to form

  • to build

After examining the Greek more carefully, I realised that the words "were created" are a correct translation of this Greek verb.

Therefore, the issue is not whether the verb has been mistranslated.

The real question is much more important.


Which "All Things" Is Paul Talking About?

The crucial question is:

What are the "all things" Paul is referring to?

Most Christians immediately assume Paul is speaking about the original creation recorded in Genesis.

However, the surrounding context suggests another possibility.

Throughout the New Testament we are repeatedly told that God exalted Jesus after His resurrection and gave Him supreme authority.

Jesus Himself said:

"All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth."
(Matthew 28:18)

Peter declared:

"Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ."
(Acts 2:36)

Paul also writes:

"Therefore God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name that is above every name."
(Philippians 2:9)

Likewise Paul writes elsewhere:

"...He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand... far above every rule and authority and power and dominion... and He put all things under His feet."
(Ephesians 1:20–22)

Notice the order.

God first raises Jesus.

God then exalts Jesus.

God then gives Jesus all authority.

God then places all things under Him.

This raises an important question.

Could Colossians 1:16 be describing everything God established under Christ's authority after His exaltation, rather than describing the original creation in Genesis?


Notice What Paul Actually Mentions

Instead of describing the creation account found in Genesis, Paul immediately says:

"...whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities..."

These are positions of authority and government.

Paul does not mention:

  • Adam

  • Eve

  • the Garden of Eden

  • the sun

  • the moon

  • the stars

  • the animals

  • the sea

  • or the six days of creation.

Instead, his emphasis is on thrones, dominions, rulers, authorities, Christ's supremacy, His resurrection, and the reconciliation of all things through Him.

That context deserves careful consideration.


The Context Must Determine the Meaning

The words "all things" do not always mean every individual thing in existence throughout all time.

Throughout Scripture, the phrase "all things" often refers to all things within the context being discussed.

The immediate context of Colossians is Christ's supremacy, His resurrection, His Kingdom, His authority, and God's purpose accomplished through Him.

For that reason, I believe Paul is describing the new order established through God's exalted Messiah rather than teaching that Jesus personally created the Genesis universe.

Whether readers agree or disagree with that conclusion, the context itself should be allowed to determine the meaning instead of assuming Genesis creation is being discussed before the passage has been examined.


Conclusion

Colossians 1:16 does indeed say that "all things were created."

The real question is not whether they were created.

The real question is:

Which "all things" is Paul referring to?

When the surrounding verses are carefully examined, Paul's emphasis is upon Christ's exaltation, His authority, His supremacy, and the reconciliation of all things through Him.

This opens the possibility that Paul is speaking about the new order God established in His Messiah after His resurrection and exaltation, rather than the original creation recorded in Genesis.

Every reader should therefore examine the whole context carefully before concluding that Colossians 1:16 teaches that Jesus created the Genesis heavens and earth.

IS GOD A PERSON?

IS GOD A PERSON?

This article was sent to me by Sir Anthony Buzzard Greek and Hebrew Bible scholar.    

The word Person is very easy.  The Hebrew is Nephesh.

God is said to be a Deity Person and we are human persons (souls).

Singular personal pronouns in all language denote and define single persons

We all know that!  YHVH says “I am YHVH.” You say “I am Simon.’

We all know that is one single person.  This happens for God thousands and thousands of times.

One needs no special definition of person!
