I grew up in a very poor, country, humble lifestyle. I've never wanted to be rich. I say if a man/woman has The God Almighty in his life, has a decent home, food to eat, clothes to wear, a decent car to drive and can care for his family..THAT IS ALL HE NEEDS. Even if you don't have these things, give your life to God Almighty and HE will add them. I just don't want anymore than that. Great message to be sharing at this time
Just know we are blessed to not worship mammon.
Unfortunate but the investment portfolios , possessions , comforts are right now a curse ... people are being leveraged with restrictions on movement businesses , jobs etc many smarter than myself who I am shocked wise men I looked up to are taking this gene editing therapy injection .... they see it that every illness is being renamed covid but go along to get along anyhow perhaps since this has always worked for them up to this point IDK ..: it’s not gonna work out when keeping your shit going to require hanging w anti christ ... why condemn ourselves by taking mark in the end of days. Ironic the people who have been talking about last days for decades (not me) don’t see this !!!!
Suddenly no one wants to look in front of their face and see the final signs.
The Great Deception
You are wise.
Still working for the Lord from his tiny room..❤️
Oh I have been sincerely set free with brother zacs teaching. For years I was lookin at these scriptures and thinking, why have we such a watered down gospel. Is there anyone that speaks the full truth. Thank you brother zac all the way from Ireland. God bless you
*Love the Truth to be free from the last days deception and run the race looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of your faith !*
" For there is one God and one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a random for all." 1 Timothy 2:5-6✝️
Thanks be to God for the Holy Scriptures. Amen
He is Right on target....call upon God to be saved from the deception of sin.
Bless you brother for this message!! I’ve been to mega churches, been betrayed than I started seeking the supernatural more than Jesus and being pure. God revealed Himself to me. I love the revelation. ✝️🙏🏻
The message of deception was the first video I saw of brother Zac some years ago and it opened my eyes sooo much and blessed me form that day I’ve been listening to brother Zac I pray God bless you brother and take care of you for many years
Here's my heart molded it here's my mind confirm it to your will Lord Jesus that's my desire. Holiness and righteousness is what you desire and that's My Desire to be like you so like an onion peel off all the ungodly in me in the name of Jesus..Hallelujah Amen!
I want to thank you so much for this video. I have been struggling with holiness and trying to be like Christ. I know I Love God, but this thorn of a problem is weighing me down, I’d like to ask for prayer as I continue my journey with Jesus.
Real man of god👌
Thanks again Zac!!! May this preacing be Not only a revelation but a roadsign to guide us further and become like HIM
GLORY TO GOD,thank you SIR,for being faithful n trusting in Gods Word..its difficult to find true beleivers...may our Lord be with you,peace to you..amen

Paul said follow me as I follow christ
Praise the lord
Guilty,thank you brother! Jesus Christus!
Thank you. Love you
Thank you. I really needed this.
Amen
Amen!
Love TRUTH🥰
how evil came into existence when God is holy and everything he created is holy??
Thank you! Please pray for me since I do struggle with anger allot. I have a hard time forgiving as well as genuinely loving people like Jesus loves us. Though I pray to be loving I believe now it is bitterness within me that wont allow me cause I believe the Holy Spirit left me years ago. :/ I hope this is not the case though but I feel as if He did.
Matthew 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Unless you forgive, you can't experience the peace and joy that comes from God. I pray that God heals your heart and helps you forgive! On the cross Jesus prayed to the Father that He would forgive those who killed Him. Let's learn from him.
Rochelle Christmas Im not a priest so don't quote me ask your pastor. Dont read your scripture, study it and read a certain book over and over before you get to the next book. That and follow your pastors teaching. Also ask God to show you understanding of the consequences of your sin, use that pain and hurt tondo a 180 degree turn to righteousness. Ask Pastor first... humily, good repent, pain and then turn from the pain.
@@ralucauk I know that verse very well that is why I know I am having hard time since it is the constant same ppl who do me wrong after I feel like I have forgiven. It is like the devil knows how to trip me up
@@dave.h4075 I do study rather than just reading it. Asking for deeper undedstanding and His wisdom and revelation.
Rochelle Christmas anger is usually the devil in us and I got free from it by getting closer to Christ Jesus alone! I pray over you psalm 91 brother
Get in the New Testament
If you forgive EveryOne and Trust God..you will be Given everything you Need. If you do Not forgive you will not be forgiven. The choice is yours.
Not exactly. Deception is what Bro Zac is talking about. It can be very hidden within. God does require us to forgive one another (7 times 70). Our oen deception will rob us of salvation though.
Kassie Barnaba
Jesus Said..”Obey my Sayings and Seek Me and My Righteousness..I will Give you everything you need and deliver you from evil.” That is what has worked for me. I Seek Jesus Alone. I do not seek men and their doctrines. They have failed me every time. I have had to forgive a lot of men!
Remember 1 more thing .
2 Timothy 3:16-17 all scripture is breathed by Elohim and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of Elohim might be fitted, and equipped for every good work. Now remember when this was pinned there was no what you call New Testament ( Renewed Covenant) . So you have to ask what was he talking about when he says scriptures. Scriptures is the front of the Book . And remember he also said seek first the kingdom of YAHUAH ( Lord) and his righteousness and all these things would be added to you. Meaning that if you obey righteousness he will clothe you feed you and take care of you. The Bible describes what righteousness is. Deuteronomy 6:25 and it is righteousness for us when we guard to do all this commands before YAHUAH ( Lord) our Elohim as He has commanded us.
Please tell brother..
How, does Romans 14.23 tie in with what you are teaching, about hating sin, & everything that does not come from faith is sin!
Thank you in advance for answering my question ✌
As someone who learned a lot from Brother Zac, the definition of sin is TO FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD, Romans 3:23. God is so Loving that He is Glorified in us when we are Glorified in Him. Remember Romans 8:30 that God will Glorify us or Glorified those whom He justified. So Whoever falls short of this Glory of God is non but the one who SINNED, again Romans 3:23. Now, according to Hebrews 11:6 WITHOUT FAITH IT'S IMPOSSIBILE TO PLEASE GOD and we know what Jesus loves and what He hates, Hebrews 1:9 "YOU HAVE LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HATED INIQUITY OR SIN." Therefore two things we see here that displease the Lord or what the Lord hates are ...... WITHOUT FAITH.... i.e UNBELIEF and SIN. Applying a little mathematics would give UNBELIEF=SIN
God bless you.
God bless brother Zac and sister Annie and all who labored side by side with him, amen.

Do you believe that the dietary laws and Commandments are still for us today who have been born again ( set a part) ?
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Tammy Fink God has blessed all things to eat yet all things are not good per se Apostle Paul said that he that eats only herbs should not be judged and he who eats meats neither . I can tell you that my wife cooks with no sugar and uses coconut sugar and we eat no processed foods or McDonald’s etc. so stay healthy by helping your immune system the best way you can to avoid junk foodAnd may God bless you for it because your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit
@@mikefrady7965 in Acts chapter 10 in here Peter sees a sheet come down three times. He hears take eat Peter. Peter says no I've never eaten anyting common or unclean. He hears this three times. When he wakes up, he hears an audible voice from ABBA and he says to him there are three gentlemen coming to the door go with them to Cornelius house. So in the three-man come to the door he invited them and they spent the night. The next day they went to cornelius's house. And the whole house got baptized and born again. Then Peter tells Cornelius that he now understood the vision that he had seen he was to call no man common or unclean. Now you must read the whole thing in context just like this pastor just said. And remember this is years after the messiah's death. Sir Peter was still keeping the dietary laws as well as all the feast and all the Commandments. And he said I declare the end from the beginning. If you don't know the beginning of the book you will not understand the end of the Book. The Father's true name is not a title Lord but YAHUAH and the Sons name is Yahusha HaMashiach. This is truth
@@hectorsantiago3 do you know the Father's name
@@tammysproclean8740
Does anyone?
2nd Thessalonians 2:15 So then brothers, stand fast and hold to the traditions which you were taught , weather by word or by letter . He is telling them to keep the feast of Lev 23 and the Commandments and the dietary laws . Remember the greatest commandment is to love the Father with all your heart and with all your soul and to loves others as you love your self and on these 3 hang all the laws and the Prophets. Matthew 22:36-40 I pray that you have eyes to see and ears to hear. Please read Jeremiah 5: 19-23 and yes please read all of Jeremiah.
How can you prove that he is telling them to keep the feast of Leviticus 23 and dietary laws, when Paul clearly teaches we aren't under such regulations? Your inserting your own opinion into the scripture where it says nothing about it, jumping to conclusions
Pastor, so if you had died during the 16 or 17 years you were still living defeated by your sin, wld God have told you to go away from Him, to go to hell? I cld ask you to speak on the difference between continuing in sin even as a christian and ending up in hell, vs no longer being defeated by sin, being like Jesus and not continuing in sin. I ask because in the first half of the sermon you clearly state that those who still sin go to hell. Thank you.
There is sin , and there is sin that leads to death . For many of our sins God does not punish us eternally, but can allow the consequences of our actions to catch up with us on the earth itself. But that is not an excuse for active sin in our body. 1 john 5:17 Deut 9:27, Proverbs 19:11 Job 11:6
@classyt20f7 So imo there are two concepts here. One is 'dying' to self, where you are completely impervious to outside thought that can influence you towards selfish thinking and sin.
the other is 'denying' oneself, where you recognize a weakness , but are strong enough to acknowledge your weakness , but not be controlled by it.
The example for denying oneself is a person who denies satisfying his craving for sweets , maybe cause he is a diabetic or he is health conscious. It is easier to deny yourself a craving for some time, for a legitimate end goal. It is that much more difficult to say i will completely stop eating sweet all my life, i will die to the thought of having sweets all my life. The end goal is obviously perfection, where we die to ourselves, not just setting aside our desires, but losing those desires. Dying to yourself, cannot happen unless you are truly a disciple, and walking on the path of discipleship.
As a born again Christian, If you dont deny yourself, then you are open to temptation and being deceived by Satan. So as a christian it is very important to deny yourself. Matthew 16:24
If you have learnt to die to yourself, then truly you are on the way to becoming a disciple of Christ. From a psychological standpoint, It is easier to deny oneself for some time, keeping the door to desire open , but just not acting on it. The mind (the will) recognizes that impulses are not meant to be acted upon, but are a sign of our deeper needs. But resisting the signalling from your mind to act on your impulses, overcoming the sinful nature, through your spiritual nature, that is what true discipleship begins with. Romans 8:13
Sir, who / what is restrainer of man of sin?
The Holy Spirit restrains evil I do believe.
This ismy understanding for once all good is removed from the earth the restrainer of evil is gone.
I CLD be incorrect but I believe it is true accd. To scripture
Ann Marie Armstrong ,that view belongs to those who believe in pre tribulation rapture . But since the speaker believes in post tribulation rapture, so it is also logical to know from his perspective. Peace b upon all .
The only restrainer we see is the arch Angel Michael and in Daniel is a perfect example that the angel Gabriel was helping Michael to restrain the prince of Persia just to get an answer to Daniel . They who falsely teach HELLYWOOD pretrib rapture want you to believe it’s the Holy Spirit because it makes the pretrib rapture more valid by saying that “we go up with the Holy Spirit” which is complete nonsense because if the Holy Spirit is taken away then those who were crying out to Jesus for salvation during the great tribulation where John saw a multitude would not be saved because God ,through the Holy Spirit, calls all men to salvation

14Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
18And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
hectorsantiago3 His command are not burdensome,we love God with all our heart and help others do the same
If we really love Him we will keep all His commands. Matthew 5: 18-19 for truly, I say to you , tell the heavens and the earth pass away , one yod ( dot) or tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah (law) (instructions) till all be done. Whoever , then breaks one of the least of these commands , and teaches men so , shall be called least in the reign of the heavens but whoever does and teaches them , he shall be called great in the reign of the heavens . Philippians 2:12 So that, my beloved , as you always obeyed - not only in my presence , but now much rather in my absence - work out your own deliverance with fear and trembling.
Prayer
for Our Nation and Our President ~ Please Share...Dear Lord, thank You,
that You are still on the Throne and that prayer can still change
things...I thank You for answered prayer and for appointing Donald J.
Trump as the leader of Your people and this great nation... Thank You,
Father, that We the People came out in droves and elected Donald J.
Trump by a landslide, regardless of what their stolen popular vote says.
There are those who would contest our votes, contest the Will of Your
People...We will not allow them to steal our future. You unclean,
globalist, satanic, baby killers and your evil cohorts won't be
feathering your nests at our expense any more!...America has spoken loud
and clear...CAN YOU HEAR US NOW???
There will be no perfect
leader until Jesus returns, we know that. Until then, true Christians
and true patriotic Americans are grateful to you, Father, for giving us a
brave and strong leader in our new President. I have never been more
grateful and more humbled in my life...I have never voted before, I have
never cared before, but I promise I will never fail to exercise that
God given right again...I want to say thank You, Jesus, for hearing our
cries and for helping us avoid the greatest tragedy this nation has ever
faced, and that is the loss of our sovereignty and being handed over to
the New World Order Global Government, and we know that is the
antichrist beast system....I am so proud of my fellow Americans for
seeing through the lies and doing the right thing, and that is turning
to You, Lord...thank You, Father, for moving the hearts of the people
toward You and toward truth and good.
Good is making an open show
of evil, but, we must and we will be vigilant, for we know it is not
against flesh and blood that we fight, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places. We also fight against an
ignorant, intentionally dumbed down world that has left so many "unaware
and compliant" and easily manipulated. God help us, send Your mighty
warring Angels to our aid and use them to spoil, to confound the plans
of these wicked that would sell an entire nation down the river and
steal the sanctity of our electoral process... trip them in their own
clever devices, cause their craft to wither in their hands, take their
evil thoughts and ideas and turn them on their own selves. Like
Nebuchadnezzar, turn their own mind against them until they are humble
beasts of burden, grazing in the field, show them, make it clear to all
the world that You are the Lord God Almighty and You are not mocked by
these insulate, odorous demons from hell...show them that AMERICA IS
STILL ONE NATION, UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE! Father, send them all to their
cells, to await judgment, far away from the society that they work so
hard to destroy...and forgive us, Lord, for being blindly led, for not
seeking out the truth, for not investigating who they really are, but
thank You, Father, for revealing the Truth to Your People, and thank You
for the strength to stand in the face of adversity, to stand in this
Day, having done all to stand.
We realize the danger has not
passed and satan knows he has but a short time and he is lashing out in
every direction and on every front, causing as much chaos and confusion
as he can...We must all pray that minds and hearts continue to open to
Jesus...Four, even eight years roll around real fast and the election in
2020 is just as important as 2016...They almost caught us unaware this
time; we will watch, we won' t let that happen again; we will not become
complacent and go back to sleep. We hold our new leader, President
Donald J. Trump, up to You and ask for Your Divine and Supernatural
protection over him and his family at all times, particularly now, when
those that seek to harm him and our nation are so desperate...the
criminals are being cornered like rats; they will lash out violently,
desperately and indiscriminately.
I trust my God and my President
and I trust that HE is working in and through him...We are told to pray
for the leaders of our Nation...I must admit, the only prayer I ever
prayed for traitor 44 and all his evil minions, was that the Lord cast
the demons from our midst...unfortunately, he and they are still there,
still in the background, weaving their web of deceit against our beloved
President and the American People and our Country, our way of
life...the Lord will capture and bind them in their own deceit...like
Comey's testimony before the Senate hearing on June 8, 2016, and many
others since, the Lord will use their own tongue and words to betray
them all and bring down the stronghold of the wicked leaders in DC and
all over the Nation, including the vile liberal federal judges that were
appointed by traitor 44, and are fighting our President's every
action...I bind them all and I cast these wicked down, and lift up good
men and women judges that will put our nation and our constitution and
our sovereignty and our People first...put America first!
While
the fourth estate liberal media is spinning it's wheels and screaming
impeach, impeach, impeach...our President is quietly in the background
busily doing the people's business and keeping promises he made in hope
that when the left sees all the good he has done for our nation, thereby
the world, they will come to reason and we will all have a kumbayah
moment...I would love to think that will be true, but it never will be
because peace and prosperity is not what the globalist want for
America...they want us broken and destitute and on our knees to the New
Word Order Globalist antichrist beast system and they want us forever
sucking on the teat of the International bankers...Had Hillary won, we
would already be in the death throws of a bloody civil war because
65,000,000 plus American Patriots would not let it go down like that.
Lord, You said You would confound the plans of the wicked and lay the
crooked path straight...and, Lord, for those who disparage our President
because they say You would never appoint such a person, to them I say
read the Word of God...time after time, the Lord has used imperfect men
to achieve His end...Moses, Paul and David were all murderers...Paul
murdered hundreds if not thousands of Christians, yet the Lord used them
all in mighty ways...or, consider Cyrus, he was a pagan Persian King
who God used to release the Israelites out of Babylonian captivity and
even helped them to rebuild Jerusalem and the temple. ...right now, our
country needs a Chief Executive Officer and a born leader, not a
Pastor...we have enough of those and most are evil wolves in sheep's
clothing... to these naysayers, these Pharisees, I say, put your rocks
back in your pockets, you have no place to judge this man and what God
is using him to do...I thank You for this and in all things. Vengeance
is Yours, Father, and soon, the wicked that mock You and our President
and seek to destroy him and our America and our way of life, God said
they shall have their reward...we must pray for President Trump every
day, no ordinary man can withstand what he is up against without the
supernatural strength and protection from our Lord. However, to truly
change the plight of our nation and our own lives, we must do the
hardest thing of all, we must pray for our enemies, pray that the Lord
bless and keep them and change them and save their souls, and for those
who don't repent and turn to our Lord, again, they will have their
reward... in Jesus' Sweet Name I pray...Amen.
Even so, come
quickly, Lord Jesus...I had a wide awake, open vision of the Lord's
return in 1976 when I was 13 years old. Thank you for taking time to
view and share...the hour is late, the harvest is great, but the
laborers are few...Maranatha!.... ...My Vision of the Return of Jesus

well,how many people going died becouse redected injection?
God says the earth is flat. And if you don’t see it in Joshua chapter 10 where he stopped the sun and he stopped the moon over the earth then you’re blind
The earth is flat making God millions of “light years “ closer and makes all the descriptions of the scripture verses of earth understandably sure! Joshua ch 10 He stops the sun and moon proving FE! Seven times in chapter 1 of Genesis he speaks of a firmament and this is what separates third heaven from earth where he sits above the circle not sphere of the earth!
Yes you are getting it keep praying and asking for more understanding. A lot of people have knowledge but not understanding . Theology is man's interpretation but it is the scriptures that interprets its self . Jer. 31:3 and Hebrews 10:16 this covenant that I shall make with them after those days , says YAHUAH ( Lord) , giving My Laws into their hearts, and in their minds I shall write them and their sins and their lawlessness , I shall remember no more. Now where there is forgiveness of these , there is no longer a slaughter offering for sin. So Bothers having boldness to enter into Miqdash (temple) by the blood of Yahusha HaMashiach ( Jesus) . Seek and you will find knock and the door will be open , ask and you shall receive . This He will do if you do it with your whole hear and put away the idols in your life turn away from unrighteousness and do righteousness.
The Earth is not flat.
At the 32 minute mark...Zac ADDS to scripture. Jesus was a human man. And yes...Jesus was THE SON OF GOD. But Matthew DOES NOT SAY the second person of the Trinity!! He put in his own philosophy and indoctrinated perception. That was EISIGESIS.
He’s flat out wrong. Hermeneutics is key. Let scripture interpret scripture and keep man’s philosophy and theology out of it.
Jesus was the Son of God.
Jesus was a created being...Therefore HE WAS NOT God. God is not created or made.
I understand that you are a Jehovah's witness, but never mind let's read the Bible and see if Jesus is God or not and if He is the 2nd Person of Trinity or not : "I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, Saying, I am Alpha and Omega (how can the Son be created and is not God and yet say I am the Alpha and the Omega) the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia.... And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:"(Revelation 1:10-17 KJV). "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father (1st Person), and of the Son (2nd Person), and of the Holy Ghost (3rd Person): (Matthew 28:19 KJV) And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This (Jesus)is the true God, and eternal life.(1 John 5:20 KJV) "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son (not created but born), that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
(John 3:16 KJV)
Vahe Abrahamian
Actually, I am not a JW. I was an Evangelical Protestant pastor for 15 years, and served prior to that in lay positions for another 15 years. I believed and taught the Trinity DOGMA (as it was originally called by Roman Catholicism) and understand the view and perspective of a Trinitarian as good as you...maybe even better.
But the Spirit of God HIMSELF, revealed the truth to me through His Word a few years ago when I decided to read the text AS it was written...versus putting my own ideas, theologies and philosophies into it.
For example...let’s use this one passage:
Jesus, the SON of God, said:
“My Father who is WITHIN ME, He doeth the work.”
As a Trinitarian, I would spout off a philosophical phrase defining and interpreting that verse, somehow weaving the Catholic Triune God into it.
But now, I believe that what is written is EXACTLY what it says.
The Father, who is SPIRIT, and who has always been SPIRIT was IN the Son. The Son of God was FILLED with the SPIRIT, God Himself.
Does scripture verify this? Does scripture itself show us the interpretation of this verse elsewhere?
YES!!
Luke 4:1
“And Jesus, being full of the holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by that Spirit into the wilderness.”
Acts 10:38
“To wit, how God anointed (baptized/fully immersed) Jesus of Nazareth with the holy Ghost, and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil: for God was WITHIN him.”
2 Corinthians 5:19
“For God WAS IN Christ, and reconciled the world to himself, not imputing their sins unto them, and hath committed to us the word of reconciliation.”
The scripture means exactly what it says, and if we are to be like Christ Jesus, we too should desire and tarry to also be FILLED with the SPIRIT, GOD HIMSELF!! Hallelujah.
You see...we were taught 3 co-equal persons in one. This came from Philo of Alexandria and Tertullian. They were philosophers and both of them were mystics. They were influenced by Babylonian Sun worship - the first recorded TRIUNE god. They worshipped the rising sun (representing Ishtar), the noon day sun (representing Tammuz) and the setting sun (representing Nimrod).
Throughout the scriptures we read over and over and over, from God’s own mouth - “I the Lord your God, I am ONE. And there is none beside me.” How come the prophets, apostles and even the Son of God consistently teach “Hear oh Israel, the Lord Your God, the Lord Your God is One!”
Why didn’t they all teach, “Hear oh Israel, the Lord your God is THREE.” ?
You wrote that the verse in Matthew, when Jesus tells them to go forth and baptize in THE NAME of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost automatically means that there is three persons. WRONG.
Those are three titles. For example:
I myself am a father. I am a son. I am a husband. But my name is Paul.
Again...the interpretation of that verse was taught through Catholicism! They have indoctrinated us to believe that there are three persons...and it’s a LIE from the pit of hell.
There is ONE GOD.
He is immortal, invisible, eternal, everlasting. He does not age. He does not grow. He does not eat or sleep. AND He will never die.
God is a Spirit.
God is Holy.
The Holy Spirit is GOD HIMSELF, not a 3rd person.
There is one Son of God.
He was created, made, formed....which proves he was not God. God is the Creator, not the one created.
The Son ate, grew, slept, learned.
The Son DIED. God cannot die.
The Son was FILLED with God, who is a Spirit, and who is Holy. The Spirit of God manifested His power THROUGH His Son. He healed people and performed miracles by manifesting His presence in His Sons body, his flesh. And God, that same Holy Spirit that filled the Son...now manifests His power through us, His body of flesh, the bride.
Romans 8:11
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead, DWELL IN you, he that raised up Christ from the dead, shall also quicken your mortal bodies, by his Spirit that DWELLETH IN you.
Th biggest question to ask yourself is this:
Acts 19:2
“HAVE YOU received the Holy Spirit since you first believed?”
@@beyondthesurface3327 fine you say you are not a JW but at least you embraced their doctrine apparently. When Christ comes back who says I AM THE ALPHA and THE OMEGA would you stand before Him and say you are not God and you are created , You are not the beginning and the end? Same question I address to you : did you receive the Spirit when you believed? Because I think you went too far with your brain analyzing things that can only be unfolded with spirit and through The Spirit and finally you arrived to a brain-logic assumption. I also serve the Lord and understanding the ONE GOD manifested in 3 Persons requires far more than internet researches . You need to know God and not about God like Leonard Ravenhill use to say . Anyway may the Lord bless you as I don't wanna go further into discussion over the net. That would have required a face to face discussion. Peace 🙏

There are many denominations that don’t believe in the Catholic Trinity...so I’m not sure why you keep saying that this is JW.
But...I agree, this would be a great face to face conversation. However, I do want to address the question you have posed in both of your responses to me. How come Jesus is the one on the throne NOW?
Have you studied INHERITANCE throughout scripture?
Do you understand what inheritance meant to the Hebrew people?
Have you studied the INHERITANCE that the Son received upon his resurrection and completion of his role in the Father’s will?
So what exactly did the son INHERIT from the Father? Let’s start with THE NAME.
THE ONE TRUE GOD had not yet published His NAME in the OT. Instead the symbols Moses had inscribed on the Ark of the Covenant were - YHWH (the name that no one could speak - the Aramaic symbols meaning "Behold the Hand, Behold the Nail") It was prophecied that HIS NAME would be published and established. So when did this happen? When was THE NAME pronounced?
Jesus inherited his Name. It was GIVEN to him. So who's name was it before it was given to Jesus? In Dueteronomy we read that God would 'publish His name'. That that Name would be the Name that saves. Jesus was always the NAME of God, THAT eternal and everlasting Spirit.
The name of Jesus was given to the Son of God by the Angel Gabriel - instructed to Mary. The flesh - which was the Son, aged, grew, slept, ate etc. In Isaiah 9:6, we read that the Son of God would have the title of Everlasting Father. How is this so? Is it possible that he INHERITED that title, along with all power, all authority, all dominion and rule? Yes....it is.
We see the fulfillment of this prophecy by Isaiah upon his resurrection from the grave...at which point he inherited the fullness of the GODHEAD (which does not mean Trinity...but instead is translated as Head or Chief God). Upon his resurrection, Jesus inherits the authority of God Almighty. He becomes the Visible RIGHT HAND of the Invisible God. He inherits the titles of God - Father being one of them.
He is GIVEN all power, all authority and all rule.
He is EXALTED to the highest place.
He is GLORIFIED with the glory of the Father Himself.
See...what you don’t understand is that the Trinity lie is actually WAY MORE complicated and twisted and construed than the truth. It is confusing and doesn’t make logical sense to a child (1+ 1 + 1 = 1). That is why the Catholic Church calls it the MYSTERY over and over again throughout their Catechism Book.
Let me put it this way.
When the Son of God walked this earth, he was FILLED with the Spirit, God Himself.
The LION was IN the LAMB.
When the Son was brought up from the grave BY the power of the Father (and yes, that’s 100% scripture)...he was given an incorruptible body that was visible yet he could disappear and reappear. He was exalted to a position of authority, governance, lordship.
When John sees Jesus in heaven, what does he see? He sees the VISIBLE God.
When Stephen sees Jesus as he’s being stoned...what does he see? He sees Jesus, the VISIBLE God.
You see, the LION is still IN the LAMB. The Invisible God has become VISIBLE for our sake.
And yes...every sentence I’ve written here has scripture to back it up. EVERY sentence.
I have received the Spirit, and I’ve been baptized, fully immersed with God, evidenced by speaking in tongues, prophetic words fulfilled and discernment. Have you? If you have, then the Spirit of God within you will prick your heart and conscience with what I’ve written. Instead of outright rejecting it, you will test it against scripture....because that’s what the Spirit of God says to do.
