Excellent presentation brother, blessing of our Lord God JEHOVAH and Jesus Christ His Son amen 🙏 I had just finished asking Yahuwah Elohim for the meaning of Matthew 28:19 and your video came up on my screen !! Praise God Almighty for an instant answer to prayer 🙏
ahh ha very clear! Glory to God for this explanation!. This helps me understand something that I never understood before about being baptized. John says that he will baptize with water, but when Jesus comes, he will baptize with the Holy Ghost and with fire (Matt 3:11). This always baffled me because we still baptize with water 🤔 it didn't make sense with the belief that the Holy Spirit is another God, because obviously God would be involved in the baptism. But now I see that at baptism, we receive His presence which continues to purify us like fire is a purifying agent as we grow in grace.
Amen, and when Jesus says "I will be with you", and "Lo, I am with you always ...", He is with us, through the divine presence and power of His Spirit.
Your video presentations are simply amazing, corroborating one verse with another consistently in order to firmly establish the argument. A very POWERful presentation. Thank you very much. May you be guided by the Spirit of God and Jesus Christ always 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for your very sincere and kind feedback. It means alot to me. Indeed when one allows God's word to speak, everything suddenly becomes clear. But unfortunately many people are persuaded by what the word of a minister or pastor says, rather than allowing God's word to speak. Hence, why many people are being deceived so easily today.
@@pioneeringagain1844 I agree. I have an Adventist relative who is like that. She has to consult her Church pastor regarding all of the things I tell her about the Trinity Doctrine adopted in the 28 Fundamental Beliefs of the SDA Church. I have sent her links regarding the flaw of the Trinity Doctrine but she always tells me I am being mislead. People need to be objective like the Bereans proving "whether those things are so" and not be content with the things their pastors are telling them. They emulate the Catholics. They have to ask the priest every thing instead of looking it up in the Holy Scriptures. May God continue to bless you for this noble endeavor.
Amen and Amen x fabulous and inspired teaching as always x thank you brother Garry, a true and dear faithful servant, for bringing the clear word of our Heavenly Father and His beautiful begotten Son Lord Jesus to us, let's hope Their Holy Spirit opens the eyes and ears and hearts and minds of all so all receive the truth x much love and God Bless from the UK always xx
Another rhyme for my SDA brethren.. How could it be true that God is 3? This thing that is named a TRINITY? Know we not that it is much more so... An absurdity?.... An ASININITY? What is it that we do know? We do know that man was made in the image of God God is MASCULINITY. We also know that God is everlasting and forever He is INFINITY We know that Christ begotten of God is his express image He has AFFINITY We know that Christ sits on the right hand of God An adjacency of CONFINITY We know that the Spirit they share and give? It is a acknowledged CONCINNITY We know that when we have the Son we also have the Father, together in our heart They both are...in our VICINITY We know that only the Father and the Son are Godhead... They both are...DIVINITY. 'AMENITY"
My beloved brother excellent presentation, I agree 100% but why the did the disciples baptized only in the name of Jesus and not according to Mathew 28:19?
Hi Thanks for your kind words. The reason why the Disciples only baptized in Christ's name is because if people accept Him, they would also receive the Father and His Spirit. This is revealed in the following Scripture verses: Matthew 10:40, John 13:20, John 14:23, Romans 10:13. So anyone who receives Christ will also receive the power of the Godhead. I hope this short explanation will help? God bless you
God bless you. I am new to this faith. I rejoiced when I came across your channel. I have watched all of your videos and shared them to friends. I want to translate your videos into kirundi. Please let me know if it is not ok with you.
Please watch the following video that deals with your query: 1st JOHN 5:7 - THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TRINITY ruclips.net/video/H6re9Pl-s54/видео.html IF you are a honest seeker of truth, you can only come to one conclusion.
Matthew 28:19 does not say anything about their nature, nor the relationship that they hold to each other, it does not tell us that there are 3 entities or persons, nor that God is made up of three persons, it does not tell us who the Holy Spirit is, nor that these 3 persons make 1 God, [the word God in this verse is not even mentioned], nor is anything said about the Godhead. This verse says absolutely nothing about any co-equal, co-eternal, co-existent characteristics of these 3 persons or beings. Reference is made to “the name . . . of the Holy Ghost.” But the word “name” does not always mean a personal name, either in Greek or in English. When we say “in the name of the law,” we are not referring to a person. We mean that which the law stands for; its authority. Robertson’s Word Pictures in the New Testament says: “The use of name [onoma] here is a common one in the Septuagint and the papyri for power or authority.” So, baptism ‘in the name of the Holy Spirit’ recognizes the authority of the spirit, that it is from God and functions by His divine will. This, His disciples understood, because they knew that God had given Jesus all authority; all power. Jesus used the phrase *‘in my name’* 18 times. 4 times in Matthew, 5 times in Mark, 2 times in Luke, 7 times in John. In the Acts 14:12 the Apostle proclaims ‘Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.’ Who is the apostle referring to? Jesus’ name only. In Romans 6 he declares ‘3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection. So, the Father and the Spirit did NOT die. Scripture says ‘buried with Him [Jesus].’ [Not the Father neither the Holy Spirit]. The disciples baptized in the name of Jesus. [See Acts 2:38; 8:12,16; 10:48; 19:5’ 22:16]. We can clearly see that the disciples were given the command to baptize in Jesus’ name only. The original texts read Matthew 28:19 as follows: “With one word and voice He said to His disciples: "Go, and make disciples of all nations *in My Name,* teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.” *“With one word and voice He said to His disciples: “Go, and make disciples of all nations in My Name, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you,”* - Source: Ferrar, W. J. (1920). Eusebius: The Proof of the Gospel. Book III, Chapter 6, 132 (a). London: Baker Book House, p. 152 *How do we know this?* Eusebius, an early church historian, bishop, and well-learned theologian of his time, quoted Matthew 28:19 eighteen times before the Council of Nicaea met in 325AD and never once mentioned 'in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost'. Eusebius must have had access to older manuscripts that did not have the odd, added words. Furthermore, the following 4 church writers never quoted the current, traditional version of Matthew 28:19. The Harvard Theological Review > Vol. 81, No. 1, Jan., 1988 > A Note on the Short ending of Matthew 28:19 JSTOR [Journal Storage] on Matthew 28:19 [www.jstor.org/stable/1509588?seq=1] Book III of his History, Chapter 5, Section 2, which is about the Jewish persecution of early Christians, we read, 'relying upon the power of Christ, who had said to them, 'Go ye and make disciples of all the nations in my name.' Aphrahat of Nisibis [3rd century]; Eusebius; Hermas [before Eusebius] and Justin Martyr [before Eusebius] We have a total of 4 early church writers/historians who never quoted the later corrupted version of Matthew 28:19. Eusebius, a historian in the third century, quoted Matthew 28:19, 20: as follows: ‘With one word and voice He said to His disciples: ‘Go, and make disciples of all nations in My Name, teaching them to observe all things whatsover I have commanded you.’ The baptismal section of Matthew 28:19 is unique in scripture and contradicts all other verses on baptism in the bible. The added words of Matthew 28:19 exactly match words in a counterfeit apocryphal writing called the Didache about baptismal practices from the late 1st century or early 2nd century. The Didache was written at a time when the 1st-century church had already been corrupted by many secular, apocryphal writings. The added words were cherry-picked from chapter 7, verse one of the Didache for maximum effect, and are not even a complete verse. The disciples carried out Jesus' commandment to teach all nations, but there are no records in the entire bible of anybody ever obeying the command to baptize anybody at any time in any place for any reason in the name of the father, and of the son, and of the Holy Ghost. As previously mentioned, three other early church fathers [Justin Martyr, Hermas, and Aphrahat] who mentioned Matthew 28:19 never quoted it as it is now. Scholars after the first century believe that the baptismal formula of Matthew 28:19 was added to the bible and was not part of the original text. Some experts even say that it was the Roman Catholic church that committed the forgery in the second century AD.

@@ranospiteri5776: When one mentions the *'early Church fathers'* today and instead of people thinking of Jesus' apostles, or even God's Old Testament leaders and prophets, many people point to the Roman Catholic 'fathers'. When perusing the internet and instead of seeing the great names from the Bible, you will see names like Origen, Clement of Rome, Ignatius, and Augustine. *Certainly, there are differences between the true 'church fathers', the apostles of Jesus Christ, and the later so called RCC 'fathers' as named above.* *The Church of the East* answered the lordly requisition, declaring with great spirit and resolution that they would by no means depart from the custom handed down to them. Then the thunders of excommunication from the bishop of Rome began to roar. Victor, exasperated, broke communication with them, pronounced the clergy of the East unworthy of the name of brethren, and excluded them from all fellowship with the church at Rome (see Mosheim, Institutes of Ecclesiastical History, b.1, cent.2, pt.2, ch. 4, par 11). Here was a gulf created between the eastern and the western churches, a gulf that widened as the bishop of Rome grew in power. *And so, the Papal Church of Rome is born.* And through the scheming and brutal forces of Satan, she becomes the only VISIBLE church in the world for centuries to come, as God's true church is driven into the wilderness (Revelation 12:14). The historical record shows that, just as Jesus and the New Testament writers foretold, various heretical ideas and teachers rose up from within the early Church and infiltrated it from without. Christ Himself warned His followers: *‘Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name . . . and will deceive many’* [Matthew 24:4-5]. You can read many similar warnings in other passages [such as Matthew 24:11; Acts 20:29-30; 2 Corinthians 11:13-15; 2 Timothy 4:2-4; 2 Peter 2:1-2; 1 John 2:18-26; 1 John 4:1-3]. The apostles of Christ and writers of the New Testament taught a gospel that is clearly revealed to all who will believe. But the so called 'church fathers' that many people look to today replaced the simplicity of the gospel message with a mysterious and hidden message that could only be interpreted by themselves and the leaders of the Roman Catholic Church. Many renowned theologians of Christian history speak against accepting the writings of the so-called apostolic fathers. In their statements you can see the kind of spirit that was driving these so-called church fathers, you only need look at Augustine. Once, while addressing some non-Catholic monks from North Wales who would not bow to his and the Roman Church's requests, he shouted ... *" if you will not join with us in unity, you shall from enemies suffer the vengeance of death."* - Killen, The Old Catholic Church, p.276-7. *"If we turn to the fathers with the hope that now at last we shall enter the region of unimpeachable methods and certain applications, we shall be disappointed.* I would earnestly ask not to be misunderstood ... *There are but few of them whose pages are not rife with errors - errors of method, errors of fact, errors of history, of grammer, and even of doctrine ...The earliest fathers and apologists add little or nothing to our understanding of scripture ... We turn to them in vain for the justification of any claim to the possession of an infallible tradition."* - Farrar, History of Interpretation, p.162-165 *"A phenomenon singular in its kind, is the striking difference between the writings of the apostles and the writings of the apostolic fathers ... The writings of the so-called apostolic fathers have unhappily, for the most part, come down to us in a condition very little worthy of confidence ... which aimed to crush the free spirit of the gospel."* Neander, General History of the Christian Religion and Church, Vol.1, p.657. *In the second century, the aims of the sun-worshiping emperors and those of the Alexandrian theologians ran parallel.* There was an ambitious scheme being devised by Satan himself to blend all religions into one, of which "the sun was to be the central object of adoration." (Milman, The History of Christianity, vol.II, p.175-176). Pagan philosophy had a big influence on the early church writers (also known as the 'church fathers'), which Schaff confirms in his book - 'History of the Christian Church', vol.II ... *Barely two decades after Christ’s death and resurrection, the apostle Paul wrote that many believers were already *‘turning away . . . to a different gospel*’ [Galatians 1:6]. He wrote that he was forced to contend with *‘false apostles, deceitful workers’* who were fraudulently *‘transforming themselves into apostles of Christ’* [2 Corinthians 11:13]. One of the major problems he had to deal with was *‘false brethren’* [2 Corinthians 11:26]. By the late first century, as we see from 3 John 9-10, conditions had grown so dire that false ministers openly refused to receive representatives of the apostle John and were excommunicating true Christians from the Church. By the second century, faithful members of the Church, Christ’s ‘little flock’ [Luke 12:32], had largely been scattered by waves of deadly persecution because they held firmly to the biblical truth. *“For fifty years after St. Paul’s life a curtain hangs over the church, through which we strive vainly to look; and when at last it rises, about 120 A.D. with the writings of the earliest church fathers, we find a church in many aspects very different from that in the days of St. Peter and St. Paul”* - The Story of the Christian Church, 1970, p. 33. *Philo’s writings led to a religious revolution. His influence led nominal Christians to adopt unscriptural doctrines.* Many of the “Roman Catholic Church Fathers”, instead of rejecting their previous philosophical influences, they Christianised them and mixed Bible truth with the error of pagan philosophy. Here is what Ackermann says concerning one of the very early Greek Church Fathers, Justin Martyr: "Justin was, as he himself relates, an enthusiastic admirer of Plato before he found in the Gospel that full satisfaction which he had sought earnestly, but in vain, in philosophy. And, though the Gospel stood infinitely higher in his view than the Platonic philosophy, yet he regarded the latter as a preliminary stage to the former. And in the same way did other apologetic writers express themselves concerning Plato and his philosophy.." - Ackermann, Das Christliche im Plato, chap. i., Hamburg, 1835; Eng. transl., The Christian Element in Plato, Edinburgh, 1861. *The Christian Justin Martyr (c.100-c.165), a Platonist by training,* was among the first to argue that Christianity could draw on both the scriptures and Greek philosophy and could even appropriate philosophy for its own ends. “Whatever good they [the philosophers] taught belongs to us Christians.” He was echoed by Clement of Alexandria (c.150-c.215), who claimed that God had given philosophy to the Greeks as a “school-master” until the coming of the Lord as “a preparation which paved the way towards perfection in Christ. - Charles Freeman, The Closing of the Western Mind, (New York, NY: Vintage Books, 2002) pp. 142-143. *"As to the fathers in general ... of these we may safely state, that there is not a truth in the most orthodox creed, that cannot be proved by their authority, nor a heresy that has disgraced the Romish Church , that may not challenge them as its abettors. In points of doctrine, their authority is, with me, nothing.* THE WORD OF GOD ALONE CONTAINS MY CREED." - Adam Clarke, Commentary on Proverbs 8 *The Encyclopædia Britannica (1976 edition) states:* “From the middle of the 2nd century [that is, the 100’s] AD, Christians who had some training in Greek philosophy began to feel the need to express their faith in its terms, both for their own intellectual satisfaction and in order to convert educated pagans. The philosophy that suited them best was Platonism.”
@@ranospiteri5776: In fact, Encyclopedia Britannica, describes Justin Martyr as “the first Christian to use Greek philosophy in the service of the Christian faith”. *And as German Church historian Philip Schaff says in his Encyclopedia:* “many of the early Christians, ... found peculiar attractions in the doctrines of Plato, and employed them as weapons for the defense and extension of Christianity, or *cast the truths of Christianity in a Platonic mold.* The doctrines of the Logos and the Trinity received their shape *from Greek Fathers, who, if not trained in the schools, were much influenced, directly or indirectly, by the Platonic philosophy,* particularly in its Jewish-Alexandrian form. *That errors and corruptions crept into the Church from this source can not be denied.* ……. Among the most illustrious of the Fathers who were more or less Platonic, may be named Justin Martyr, Athenagoras, Theophilus, Ireneus, Hippolytus, Clement of Alexandria, Origen, Minutius Felix, Eusebius, Methodius, Basil the Great, Gregory of Nyssa, and St. Augustine.” (The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge, article: Platonism and Christianity). *The Encyclopædia Britannica (1976 edition) states:* “From the middle of the 2nd century [that is, the 100’s] AD, Christians who had some training in Greek philosophy began to feel the need to express their faith in its terms, both for their own intellectual satisfaction and in order to convert educated pagans. The philosophy that suited them best was Platonism.” *Historian Jesse Hurlbut says* of this time of transformation: “We name the last generation of the first century, from 68 to 100 A.D., *‘The Age of Shadows,’* partly because the gloom of persecution was over the church, but more especially because of all the periods in the [church’s] history, it is the one about which we know the least. We have no longer the clear light of the Book of Acts to guide us; and no author of that age has filled the blank in the history . . . “For fifty years after St. Paul’s life a curtain hangs over the church, through which we strive vainly to look; and when at last it rises, about 120 A.D. with the writings of the earliest church fathers, we find a church in many aspects very different from that in the days of St. Peter and St. Paul” - The Story of the Christian Church, 1970, p. 33. *This ‘very different’ church would grow in power and influence, and within a few short centuries would come to dominate even the mighty Roman Empire.* So, we can clearly see that many of the so-called early church fathers were thoroughly educated in Greek philosophy. Paul warns, *“See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition,* according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.” Colossians 2:8 ESV *“But in vain do they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.”* Matthew 15:9
the word Power in Matt 28:18 is a different Greek word than the Greek word found in Luke24:49 for power. They are not the same and cannot be compared to each other as if they are the same.
Undoubtedly, the doctrine of the Trinity is a complex one and mere mortals like ourselves wrestle to understand it. Diligent students of the Bible came slowly to understand it as they began to “grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” But in the language used to denote the Holy Spirit in the Bible, referring to “Him” as a “teacher,” “guide,” one who “convicts of sin, and of righteousness and of judgment,” who “speaks” to mankind what the “Father tells Him,” there is enough evidence for us to accept the Holy Spirit/Ghost as not just having presence, but being a real presence in our lives, and definitely a part of the triune nature of the Godhead🙏🏼❤️
Thank you for your feedback. However I would STRONGLY recommend that you watch the following video, entitled: "A QUESTION THAT DESTROYS THE TRINITY IDOL" from us at the following link: ruclips.net/video/SAGHFhjvzks/видео.html
Pioneering Again. What of Jesus’ parable of the Ten Virgins? The five foolish ones who carried no oil in their lamps and were finally shut out of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb? The oil is symbolic of the Holy Spirit, yes? We need to pray every single day for the anointing of the Holy Spirt in our lives, do that we will do the proclaiming of the Three Angels Messages before our Savior comes as our King!🙏🏼❤️
@@susankane8728 You are correct in stating that the oil represents the Holy Spirit. However you are definitely wrong in defining the Holy Spirit as another god!!! The Holy Spirit is simply the power of God the Father and His Son omnipresence nature's. Please see: Psalms 139:7 & Psalms 51:11 to get the Biblical definition of the Holy Spirit. Finally, please don't forget to watch the video link sent to you earlier...
@@susankane8728 In your belief that the Holy Spirit is a "Divine Being" just as much as God the Father and His Son Jesus, do you also worship the Holy Spirit in the same way as you do for God the Father and His Son Jesus? If so, then you worship a "divine being" who does not exist. This then places one in the real and present danger of breaking the first and second commandments: "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." and "... Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them ..." Just something for you to think about and pray for greater light and understanding. *Not here to debate or argue.* If you cling to your belief that the Holy Spirit is a divine being no matter what, then that is between you and God.🙏🏼🕊️
The Holy Spirit always points us to Jesus because of His death on the Cross. He does everything He can to woo us to the Redeemer since that’s the reason for Jesus coming to earth. He pleads for us to do this “with groanings that cannot be uttered.” We May pray to Him to lead us into all truth that God the Father and God the Son have shown us in their Word. He is most concerned that we honor and glorify the Redeemer so that we may be forgiven of our sins and demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit that He bestows. All three Persons work together, they are part of the Godhead.
Part 2. What did Jesus look like? Acts 2:31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. Mark 16:9-15 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. [10] And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept. [11] And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not. [12] After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country. John 20: [11] But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre, [15] Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. [16] Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. [19] Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. Luke 24: And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. [37] But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. [38] And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? [39] Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. [40] And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet. [41] And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? [42] And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. [43] And he took it, and did eat before them. John 20: [20] And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord. [24] But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. [25] The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. [26] And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. [27] Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. [28] And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. [29] Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. Part 3. What did Jesus look like; And the commandment not to make a graven image. Peter 1:18-19 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; [19] But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Hebrews 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Psalm 51:6-7 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. [7] Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Exodus 25: [2] Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering. [3] And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass, [4] And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, [5] And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood, Jeremiah 13:23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil. 1 Peter 1: [18] Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; [19] But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Luke 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Exodus 20: [4] Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: [5] Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; Exodus 23: [23] For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off. [24] Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images. Leviticus 26:1 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God. Deuteronomy 5: [8] Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth: [9] Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, Deuteronomy 7: [25] The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God. [26] Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing. Numbers 33: [51] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan; [52] Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places: [53] And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it. Isaiah 41:29 Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion. Isaiah 42:8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. Isaiah 44:9 They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed. Romans 11: [4] But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. [5] Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
The (trinity) is not only a perverse corrupt idle vain word of confusion not found in the book of the LORD, it is a doctrine of devils and a damnable heresy! Those who believe in the damnable heresy they call (Trinity) find it hard to understand and almost impossible to preach using words found only in the holy scripture. And yet the preaching of Jesus as the only wise God and Saviour, the blessed and only Potentate, the everlasting Father, the Almighty can be understood by a child. 2 Timothy 3:15-17 [15] And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. [16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: [17] That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Corinthians 11:3-4 [3] But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. [4] For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Exodus 3:13-14 [13] And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? [14] And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. John 8:56-58 [56] Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. [57] Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? [58] Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. Isaiah 45:21-23 [21] Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. [22] Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. [23] I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. Philippians 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. Job 13:8-10 [8] Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God? [9] Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him? [10] He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons. John 14:8-9 [8] Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. [9] Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? John 8:24-27 [24] I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. [25] Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning. [26] I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him. [27] They understood not that he spake to them of the Father. 1 John 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. John 20:28-29 [28] And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. [29] Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. Revelation 1:7-8 [7] Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. [8] I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. 1 Timothy 6:14-16 [14] That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: [15] Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; [16] Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
The bible says Jesus is from ancient times, from of old, from everlasting, and from eternity. HE WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH THE FATHER. It also tells us that he created everything that has ever been created, and nothing that has been created was created without him. All things are held together by him. We clearly know that at the beginning the father wasn't alone. In the book of Genesis, the Holy Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters. We also know that when God created man, he was not alone because he said let US create man in our image. In Psalms 89:27 it says "I will also make him my firstborn, greatest of the kings of the earth." God the Father exalted Jesus while he was in the flesh. Philippians 2:5-6 clearly tells us that Jesus Christ who was God in his very nature did not consider using the fact that he was God to his advantage while he was in human form. But Jesus made himself nothing by taking on the role of a servant. We know that he is eternal and our creator. Not to mention, the bible clearly shows that the Holy Spirit is a person who knows the mind of God. The spirit of God has emotions, the Holy spirit teaches, testifies, guides, speaks, enlightens, strives, commands, intercedes, sends workers, comforts, and he also works. When dealing with Ananais, Peter told him that he had not lied to man, but he had lied to God because Ananais had lied to the Holy Spirit. The bible tells us that the Holy Spirit is omnipresent when it says where can I go from your spirit. The Holy Spirit is known as He. The holy spirit was involved in the creation and HE is also known as another helper. "In Matthew 4:16-17 we see that the Father speaks out of heaven when Jesus is baptized - a clear distinction. We also read in John 17:1 that Jesus prayed to the Father, and he carefully made a distinction between the two in saying "Father... glorify your Son, that the Son may glorify You." In fact, 1 John 2:1 tells us that Jesus is our Advocate with the Father. It doesn't make sense to equate Jesus and the Father as the same person, as these verses would be rendered nonsense. John 14:20 again demonstrates the personhood of both the Son and Father when Jesus said "In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you." Since we realize that we are different persons than Jesus, this verse would argue that the Father is likewise distinct from the Son and not the same person. Also we see the Holy Spirit is not Jesus. In John 14:26 Jesus again makes this explicit where He teaches "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things." Previous to this Jesus identified the Spirit as "another helper" (John 14:6). That word "another" is key. We also saw the Spirit in the Matthew 4 passage above descend on Jesus as a dove. We know the Spirit is a person, because He has all the attributes of a person and not just "God's holy force" as some are wanting to believe. You cannot lie to an active force, nor can you grieve one (see Eph 4:30). Thus the Bible is clear in presenting each of the three members of the trinity as separate persons - each distinct - but each fully the one true God." THE FATHER IS GOD. THE SON IS GOD. THE HOLYSPIRIT IS GOD. THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE.
Why does God the Father call Jesus GOD. New International Version But about the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom. Berean Standard Bible And from His mouth proceeds a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and He will rule them with an iron scepter. He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. King James Bible I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, (THE Almighty) King James Bible (I am he that liveth, and was dead;) and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. King James Bible Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. King James Bible He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. King James Bible And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. JESUS IS THE ALMIGHTY. ALL THE PROPHECIES EVER SINCE THE BOOK OF GENESIS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED. The bible says that the word became a man. (FLESH) New International Version Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, (but a body you prepared for me;) In other words before Jesus took on human nature, ( flesh). What was he? John 1:14 = GOD became man. HE WAS GOD, ONE MEMBER OF THE TRIUNE GODHEAD. BECAUSE GOD EXISTS IN 3 FATHER, SON, AND HOLYSPIRIT. So before Jesus took on flesh HE was one with THE FATHER. Sharing the glory with THE FATHER , SELF EXISTING WITH THE FATHER IN TOTAL HARMONY, AND IN PERFECT UNION. THE bible says THE WORD took on the form of a servant . New International Version philippians 2:7 rather, HE made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. In order to take on the role of a servant, HE could not have been a servant. JESUS was not a servant until HE took On flesh, HE existed before HE took on flesh, but he wasn't a servant.HE IS God just Like the FATHER and just like the HOLYSPIRIT JESUS said if you don't believe me, believe the works the miracles THAT I DONE. New International Version john 10:38 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 in the FATHER.” It is very clear that Jesus was doing the things, That only God can do. If doing the things that only God can do Is not good enough for someone to believe, they must be blind. What more can you possibly want HE lived out a life greater than anything written can explain. He lived a sinless and perfect life. New International Version 2 corinthians 5:21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. No one on earth has ever done the works that he has done. He done it all ! NO ONE ELSE HAS EVER DONE ANYTHING CLOSE TO WHAT HE HAS DONE. HE LIVED THE LIFE THAT ONLY GOD COULD LIVE. HE DONE THE THINGS THAT ONLY GOD CAN DO. HE FORGIVES SINS. HE GIVES LIFE. HE IS THE SAVIOR. HE GAVE SIGHT TO THE BLIND. HE HEALED THE SICK HE WALKED ON WATER. HE CALMED THE STORM. HE CHANGED PEOPLE FROM THE INSIDE. HE SHINED LIGHT INTO THE DARKNESS. HE RAISED THE DEAD, HE RAISED HIMSELF FROM THE GRAVE, CONQUERING DEATH. HE SAID ALL THAT BELONGS TO THE FATHER IS MINE. WHO CAN MAKE SUCH A STATEMENT. THE LIST GOES ON. HE SAID IN JOHN 8:24 King James Bible I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I AM HE, ye shall die in your sins.
There are those who declare that God the Father and Jesus Christ, are the same person. They contend that Jesus is merely a manifestation or development or role of the Father. The Bible, however, says that the Father and Jesus are distinct from each other. They are not the same person. There are several ways in which the Bible illustrates this truth. 1. The Father Sent the Son Another distinction we have between the Father and the Son is that the Father is the sender and Jesus, the Son, is the one sent. Jesus said that it was God the Father who sent Him into the world. "My food," said Jesus, "is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work" (John 4:34). He emphasized it again By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me (John 5:30). Jesus made it clear the Father had set Him apart and sent Him into the world. What about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, `I am God's Son'? (John 10:36). Jesus said that His words came from the Father. For I did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it (John 12:49) The Apostle Paul also testified that the Father sent the Son into the world: But when the fulness of the time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law (Galatians 4:4). 2. The Father Testified To The Son The Bible speaks of the Father testifying of the Son: If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. There is another who bears witness of me, and I know that the witness which he witnesses of me is true . . . And the Father himself, who sent me, has testified of me (John 5:31,32,37). In this passage, Jesus is speaking to the religious leaders. He says that He is not the only one who is testifying concerning Himself. Jesus mentions the testimony of John the Baptist and the testimony of God the Father. Jesus contrasts His testimony from that of the Father showing that they are two distinct persons. The Father provides additional testimony to the character of Jesus. 3. Jesus Prayed to the Father The two divine persons-God the Father and God the Son-exist eternally and distinctly in an interpersonal relationship. For example, in the Garden of Gethsemane Jesus did not pray to Himself, but to the Father. In Jesus' prayer to God the Father, the clear distinction is made between the two of them. He prayed. I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in me through their word; that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you sent me. "The glory which you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as we are one; I in them and you in me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that you sent me, and loved them, even as you have loved me (John 17:20-23). 4. There Was Mutual Knowledge and Love between the Father and the Son Scripture speaks of the mutual knowledge and love that God the Father and God the Son have for one another. Jesus said. All things have been handed over to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal him (Matthew 11:27). Jesus also said. The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand (John 3:35). 5. Jesus Did the Father's Will Jesus did the will of the Father not His own will. Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us." Jesus said to him, "Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father; how can you say, 'Show us the Father?' "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 on my own initiative, but the Father abiding in me does his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves (John 14:8-11). Jesus did not say He was the Father but rather He was the one who perfectly represented the Father. However Jesus testified that God the Father was with Him in a mystical way. 6. No One Can Get to God the Father Except Through Jesus the Son Jesus told people to believe in Him. Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me (John 14:1). The Bible also makes it clear that one cannot know God the Father apart from Jesus Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also; from now on you know him, and have seen him" (John 14:6). Paul wrote. For there is one God; there is also one mediator between God and humankind, Christ Jesus, himself human (1 Timothy 2:5).. THE SON (JESUS ) IS GOD The HOLYSPIRIT IS GOD, THE FATHER IS GOD. NO 3 GOD'S, BUT THE ONE TRUE GOD. HEAR O ISREAL THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE. THE TRIUNE GODHEAD.
Mathew 28:19 is probably an alteration from the original text! There are at least a half a dozen or more scriptures that changed after the third century to support the Trinity doctrine. This is why many newer translations that had access to manuscripts predating the Catholic's Latin Vulgate version were changed back to the original text. There is strong evidence and logic that Mathew 28:19 was changed also. Just read all the other text about the disciples being baptized and they all say, "in the name of Jesus", but never in the Father or the Holy Spirit. So out of seven scriptures about baptism one (Mathew 28:19) does not match the others. If Mathew 28:19 is the correct commandment about proper baptisms then the apostles did not obey it. As for logic; What does the baptism symbolize? According to the gospels it symbolizes dying with the Christ .... so that we may be raised up with him also. So how does that fit with the Father and Holy Spirit? Did they die and get resurrected too? Of course not! Were they "GIVEN" their power and authority over all things? If so by whom? So there is no logic, reason or tradition of being baptized in the name of the Father or Holy Spirit accept by the Roman Church and all based on one scripture that doesn't resonate with the others. We are to be baptized into the name of Jesus. But instead we get baptized in the name of a Triune god made of multiple persons. And like you brought out ... the Holy Spirit is what Jesus baptizes his disciples with.
with all due respect Mathew 28-19 is fraudulent, it is well established to be added or as they say a "later interpolation" it is not in the earliest manuscripts, same with Joanine comma- 1 John 5 -7
What did Jesus truly look like? Part 1. Many will not like these precepts because they are contrary to the traditions we have believed all our lives. What did Jesus, God manifested in the flesh, look like according to the holy scriptures before he rose from the dead and before his second coming? He certainly did not have blue eyes and long brown hair! Jesus was likened to his mother's heritage, so think of King David (white and ruddy) and read these statutes: Luke 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. Psalm 40:7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, 1 Samuel 16:11-13 And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither. [12] And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he. [13] Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah. 1 Samuel 17:42 And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance. Luke 1:30-32 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. [31] And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. [32] He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: Matthew 20:30 And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David. Song of Solomon 5:8-11 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of love. [9] What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women? what is thy beloved more than another beloved, that thou dost so charge us? [10] My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand. [11] His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven. 1 Corinthians 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? Song of Solomon 5:12-16 His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set. [13] His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh. [14] His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires. [15] His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars. [16] His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem. John 15:12-15 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. [13] Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. [14] Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. [15] Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 2 Chronicles 20:7 Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever? James 2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. Genesis 22:8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. Mark 10:47-48 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. [48] And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me
Does the bible talk about the Father, yes Does the bible talk about the Son, yes Does the bible talk about holyspirit, yes Each member of the Godhead raised Jesus from the dead. Each member of the Godhead is needed For salvation. When God speaks he USES EXPRESSIONS LIKE (LET US, IN OUR) SHOWING MORE THAN ONE. WHEN JESUS SPEAKES HE USES DISTINCTION. BETWEEN HIM THE FATHER, AND THE HOLYSPIRIT. THE HOLYSPIRIT SPEAKES WITH AUTHORITY IN ( Act 13:2) English Standard Version While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” The Father speaks from heaven while Jesus gets baptized and the holyspirit comes down. Yes the Godhead is one, but there is no denying the he exists in the 3 persons of the Godhead. The Father never stop being the father, The Holy spirit never stop being the holy Spirit , but Jesus stop being the fullness of God to dwell amongst humanity, because we would not have been able to see him in his full glory But now GOD is all in all. God is triune, To deny the self existence of one member of GOD is to deny the Godhead. English Standard Version MATTHEW 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the (name) of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, HE WAS STILL, TRULY GOD, BUT ALSO TRULY MAN. GOD IS TRIUNE, YOU CANNOT BE SAVED, WITHOUT ALL 3 MEMBERS OF THE GODHEAD.
Why waste your time sending such a dumb question!! When God said that He made man in His own image, God made Adam FIRST. Then HE made Eve. Why would you ever want to change the gender of your Creator!! Please don't take the Lords name in vain. God is not a child who can be trifled with.
There is no need to blank out Jesus’s face, though it is true that we do not have a clear description of Him in the Bible. He was fully human when He came to earth, so we can accept a face- one with Jewish features and coloring would be most appropriate. Indeed, there are many references in the Bible to all three persons of the Godhead: God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost. All three persons are One in character and purpose: Holy, Perfect and Eternal. All three were involved in the Creation of the World, and all three are concerned with mankind’s Salvation. Jesus willingly came to earth as the sacrificial Lamb to die and shed His precious, sinless blood so that we could have forgiveness of sin and be ready to live eternally with a Holy God. This presentation speaks the Truth of the Word, except, it does not acknowledge the Holy Ghost/Spirit as the third person of the Godhead. Although the word Trinity is not in the Bible, there is much evidence to show that the Holy Spirit is indeed a person who is intimately connected with the Father and the Son. Jesus told His disciples that He would send them “another comforter” when He left them and ascended into Heaven, and said “When He the Spirit of truth is come He will guide you into all truth” and “bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you,” for He would “speak” of the things that the Father gave Him to speak. This is a person of great authority, not just a presence without bodily form. Some have called this three in One intimate relationship the Triune God. Certainly, we are introduced in the Bible to the Godhead, the three in One, no less🙏🏼❤️
Thank you for your feedback. However I would STRONGLY recommend that you watch the following video, entitled: "A QUESTION THAT DESTROYS THE TRINITY IDOL" from us at the following link: ruclips.net/video/SAGHFhjvzks/видео.html
“Jesus said, “I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you” (John 14:18). Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is our Comfort- er. In fact, John told us exactly that in 1 John 2:1. Notice what he wrote here: “My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate [παρακλητος: Comforter] with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.” The other four times παρακλητος was used in the Bible it was translated, Comfort- er. In Greek there is no distinction between the advocate in this verse and the Comforter in John’s other writings, and here John plainly tells us that the Comforter is Jesus Christ. The Bible says of Jesus, “Wherefore he is able also to save them to the utter- most that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them” (Hebrews 7:25). Jesus is our intercessor, our mediator. The Bible says, “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5). How many mediators do we have between us and God? One! Yet, the Bible says, “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh in- tercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered” (Romans 8:26). The Spirit makes intercession for us as our Advocate and Comforter. This Spirit that makes intercession for us is the Spirit of Jesus Christ.”
Do you have any scripture where I can see and read "God the Son" and "God the Holy Spirit" in these exact words or phraseology? I've never seen either phrase, but if you can provide them, please do.
Jesus, in His Great Commission said, “Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: teaching them to observe whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with alway, even unto the end of the world.”(Matthew 28:18-20). Jesus gave God and the Holy Spirit equal authority with Himself.
@@susankane8728 Like the example previously given in response to this vid, a policeman may say, "Stop in the name of the law!", the law is not a person, but the authority by which the person is obligated to respect and adhere to, and in respecting the policeman as an officer of the law. However, understanding that the Holy Spirit is the divine power and presence of Father God and His Son Jesus, as so beautifully expressed in John 14:18, 21-23, makes total sense to me. It also makes sense to me why Jesus did not include the Holy Spirit at all when He said, "I and my Father are one." (See, John 10:30; 1 John 1:3; John 17:3) I think it best that we simply agree to disagree on the matter concerning the Holy Spirit and move on. God bless.
Why does God the Father call Jesus GOD. New International Version But about the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom. Berean Standard Bible And from His mouth proceeds a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and He will rule them with an iron scepter. He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. King James Bible I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, (THE Almighty) King James Bible (I am he that liveth, and was dead;) and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. King James Bible Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. King James Bible He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. King James Bible And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. JESUS IS THE ALMIGHTY. ALL THE PROPHECIES EVER SINCE THE BOOK OF GENESIS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED. The bible says that the word became a man. (FLESH) New International Version Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, (but a body you prepared for me;) In other words before Jesus took on human nature, ( flesh). What was he? John 1:14 = GOD became man. HE WAS GOD, ONE MEMBER OF THE TRIUNE GODHEAD. BECAUSE GOD EXISTS IN 3 FATHER, SON, AND HOLYSPIRIT. So before Jesus took on flesh HE was one with THE FATHER. Sharing the glory with THE FATHER , SELF EXISTING WITH THE FATHER IN TOTAL HARMONY, AND IN PERFECT UNION. THE bible says THE WORD took on the form of a servant . New International Version philippians 2:7 rather, HE made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. In order to take on the role of a servant, HE could not have been a servant. JESUS was not a servant until HE took On flesh, HE existed before HE took on flesh, but he wasn't a servant.HE IS God just Like the FATHER and just like the HOLYSPIRIT JESUS said if you don't believe me, believe the works the miracles THAT I DONE. New International Version john 10:38 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 in the FATHER.” It is very clear that Jesus was doing the things, That only God can do. If doing the things that only God can do Is not good enough for someone to believe, they must be blind. What more can you possibly want HE lived out a life greater than anything written can explain. He lived a sinless and perfect life. New International Version 2 corinthians 5:21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. No one on earth has ever done the works that he has done. He done it all ! NO ONE ELSE HAS EVER DONE ANYTHING CLOSE TO WHAT HE HAS DONE. HE LIVED THE LIFE THAT ONLY GOD COULD LIVE. HE DONE THE THINGS THAT ONLY GOD CAN DO. HE FORGIVES SINS. HE GIVES LIFE. HE IS THE SAVIOR. HE GAVE SIGHT TO THE BLIND. HE HEALED THE SICK HE WALKED ON WATER. HE CALMED THE STORM. HE CHANGED PEOPLE FROM THE INSIDE. HE SHINED LIGHT INTO THE DARKNESS. HE RAISED THE DEAD, HE RAISED HIMSELF FROM THE GRAVE, CONQUERING DEATH. HE SAID ALL THAT BELONGS TO THE FATHER IS MINE. WHO CAN MAKE SUCH A STATEMENT. THE LIST GOES ON. HE SAID IN JOHN 8:24 King James Bible I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I AM HE, ye shall die in your sins.
Ye construct all kind of meanings by mash up words from Luke, Matthew etc. The construct has a purpose of course, that is to enlighten and document the bible scripts as the truth. But the figure god miss out on all days problems. All. Stop trying to satisfy your indoctrinated beliefs..
Matthew 28:19 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Let us read the whole context. Jesus Commissions His Disciples: Matthew 28:16-20 16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Note: Yes, our Lord Jesus Christ commanded His disciples to baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. But this does not mean that our God has three persons. The context is telling us that we must believed in our Lord Jesus as our Everlasting Father and we believed that our Lord Jesus Christ as the Word who became flesh and He was called then the Son of God and we believed that, that the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ is with us all the time on the day when He ascended up into heaven. In the following verses you will see that the desciples baptized the people in the name of Jesus only because the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is all attached in the name of Jesus. John Baptism is a baptism of repentance while baptism in the name of Jesus we believed that our Lord Jesus Christ is God Himself who came in the flesh and He is our Everlasting Father because He created us in His own image and we buried our sins in the water and became a new person coming out of the water. Acts 2:38 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 8:12 12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Acts 8:16 16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) Acts 10:48 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days. Acts 19:5 5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Ephesians 4:4-6 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Note: We are baptized in the name of Jesus because we believed in Him and He is our One Lord, One God and our Everlasting Father who is the creator of heaven and earth.
It's unfortunate and unbelievable that you can wrest the scriptures and SoP in an attempt to justify your IMPERSONAL Holy Spirit ideology: and in the process mislead God's people to fall into deception. Mt.28:19 refers: 1. We are being referred to Three who have three different names. If the the HS is a power as you often put it, then how could it have a name? And if it is Christ in the spirit form, how could He have another name other than Christ's? 2. You have said that the purpose of baptism is so that the Father and the Son may send us the POWER of the HS. But this is only one aspect of baptism. The power from Christ comes to us through the HS, the HS is not the power of Christ but an Agent of that divine power. Concerning baptism the SoP states that the ordinance entails our covenant with the Godhead in which we pledge our submission and obedience to the Heavenly powers. In response, the Three Persons pledge to spare nothing to ensure our salvation. While the HS is involved with our sanctification, the Father and the Son are active in the heavenly sanctuary where intercession, forgiveness and judgment is ongoing. This is the message we can obtain in several SoP passages including 6BC 1075; Ms 27, 1900; Ms 85,1901; etc,etc. 3. To many, the fact that you systematically quote from the word of God means that you're genuine and honest. That's why they're expressing their gratefulness to you. Unfortunately most of them are too lazy to interrogate your presentations, let alone dig the truth for themselves. Why are you deliberately avoiding clear EGW statements which clarify that there are three Persons of the Godhead? The fact that only the Father and the Son are at times mentioned doesn't mean that the HS doesn't exist. Let's be serious.
Pioneering again, Stop twisting the scriptures. Stop deceiving people with your erroneous beliefs. Jesus said He gas been given all power, but that has nothing to do with the power we get when we are baptised with the Holy Ghost. Matt 28: 19 is the only Biblical instruction that we have for water baptism, and that's the only way the Apostles and disciples would have baptised people.
Hello, Please do your Scripture research CAREFULLY.... Because we have!!! Unless you can prove from the Scriptures of truth that we are wrong then I would strongly recommend that you don't make any accusations against us. I await humbly to see if you can prove us wrong otherwise on Matthew 28:19 Also in the book of Acts why did the disciples baptized in Christ's name ONLY!!!??? Example Acts 8:15-16
@@pioneeringagain1844 Matt 28: 19 is the only Biblical instruction that we have for water baptism, and that's the way the Apostles and disciples would have baptised people. The Greek meaning for, "baptism in Jesus name" is a two fold meaning, and none of them is " baptism in the name from Jesus". The Greek meaning of, "IN" Is, "Into" it's meaning is "Into Jesus" (Water baptism is symbolic of being baptised into Jesus) . And the Greek meaning for, "Name" is, "By the authority" of Jesus. What authority?, Matt 28: 19. Water baptism is neither salvation or in the name of Jesus. Water baptism is an outward sign of an already inward experience. It's identifying with who you are baptised into. The born again Christians is identifying with the death burial and resurrection of Jesus.
@@alanhales6369 There is no problem using Matthew 28:19 for baptism. The problem with people today is thinking that the Holy Spirit is a separate Being called "God The Holy Spirit". There is nowhere in the entire Bible where this title is given for the Spirit of God. This 3-Co-Eternal Being concept originated with paganism and has been incorporated among Christians. Lastly you still tried to prove your points by using Greek meanings etc. This does not validate anything. You need to prove all things through the Bible. God has not made His word hard too understand. The problem is with man not taking the Bible as it reads.
@@pioneeringagain1844 you are showing your ignorance of the Bible and you refuse to believe the Biblical Hebrew and Greek. Because Acts 5: 3-4 says the Holy Ghost is God, (Theos) the same as Jesus and God the Father are (Theos). The Hebrew and Greek texts prove the trinity. Only unsaved people reject the trinity. And every born again Christians believe and know that God is ONE God manifested in THREE persons. (The trinity).
We must use valid scholarship to prove our points. The Greek word in Matt 28:19 for power is not the same Greek word describing the power of the Holy Spirit. In Matt 28:19 Jesus said all authority is given unto me. And the baptismal vow of baptizing in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is misinterpreted because this is not understood. The original Greek should be translated "baptizing them "INTO" the name" not "IN" the name. The word translated 'name' can mean a proper name, but in this case it really means "authority." When a police officer shouts, "Stop in the name of the law!" He is not talking about a person. He is not even referring to himself. He says for the person to stop in the authority of the law that covers the present situation. So, Jesus said that all authority was given to Him by His Father and His followers are to baptize individuals into the authority of the Father and the Son which is made personal to each believer by the presence of the Spirit of Christ. When Christ leads His people, they are to be obedient to the moving of His Spirit in their hearts and minds. It is Christ's Spirit and we are to obey. A good study can be found at www.ucg.org/bible-study-tools/booklets/is-god-a-trinity/does-matthew-28-verse-19-prove-the-trinity which shows that not all Christian denominations embrace the trinity doctrine. Nice video. I agree with the main premise that Matt 28:19 does not prove a trinity, but the argument needs to be based on valid language scholarship.
Jesus is the Holy Ghost. Jesus is the Father. Jesus is the Son. Part 1. God is one person known by many names; and so few people there be that understand. God is a Spirit, a Holy Spirit also known as the Holy Ghost, which is the Comforter and this person is Jesus doing the comforting to all those that love him and keep his commandments according to the holy scriptures. Jesus is the only wise God and Saviour and he is known by many names and names have meanings. God is a Spirit, a Holy Spirit. The word (a) is singular. John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. (Jesus is the Holy Ghost because the Holy Ghost is the Comforter and Jesus is doing the comforting.): John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. John 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Mark 16:12 After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country. Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. (Jesus is the Father because the Father is promised to send the Comforter and it is Jesus who is doing the sending): John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. (The (he) that was manifested to take away our sins in 1John 3 line 5 is the (Father) in 1John 3 line 1): 1 John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Acts 19:5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Jesus is the Holy Ghost. Jesus is the Father. Jesus is the Son. Part 2 Jesus is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Jesus is the Father because the Father is promised to send the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, and it is Jesus doing the sending: John 14: [16] If ye love me, keep my commandments. [16] And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. (God is one person, known by many names): 1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. Job 13:7 Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him? 8 Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God? 9 Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him? 10 He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons. John 14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Revelation 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. 8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. 1 John 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. Exodus 3:13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. 57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. Isaiah 45:21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. 22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. 23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. Philippians 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: John 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. 29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. John 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. 25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning. 26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him. 27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.

Excellent presentation brother, blessing of our Lord God JEHOVAH and Jesus Christ His Son amen 🙏
I had just finished asking Yahuwah Elohim for the meaning of Matthew 28:19 and your video came up on my screen !!
Praise God Almighty for an instant answer to prayer 🙏
Excellent testimony!! Thank you for sharing.
time will never lie the truth will remain to be the truth no matter what they do to it
Could not have explained this better myself. Excellent presentation of Bible truth. Keep up the good work. Amen!
The Power of the Holy Spirit is from the Father to the Son. Beautiful Lesson. Thanks.
ahh ha very clear! Glory to God for this explanation!. This helps me understand something that I never understood before about being baptized. John says that he will baptize with water, but when Jesus comes, he will baptize with the Holy Ghost and with fire (Matt 3:11). This always baffled me because we still baptize with water 🤔 it didn't make sense with the belief that the Holy Spirit is another God, because obviously God would be involved in the baptism. But now I see that at baptism, we receive His presence which continues to purify us like fire is a purifying agent as we grow in grace.
Amen, and when Jesus says "I will be with you", and "Lo, I am with you always ...", He is with us, through the divine presence and power of His Spirit.
Your video presentations are simply amazing, corroborating one verse with another consistently in order to firmly establish the argument. A very POWERful presentation. Thank you very much. May you be guided by the Spirit of God and Jesus Christ always 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for your very sincere and kind feedback. It means alot to me. Indeed when one allows God's word to speak, everything suddenly becomes clear. But unfortunately many people are persuaded by what the word of a minister or pastor says, rather than allowing God's word to speak. Hence, why many people are being deceived so easily today.
@@pioneeringagain1844 I agree. I have an Adventist relative who is like that. She has to consult her Church pastor regarding all of the things I tell her about the Trinity Doctrine adopted in the 28 Fundamental Beliefs of the SDA Church. I have sent her links regarding the flaw of the Trinity Doctrine but she always tells me I am being mislead. People need to be objective like the Bereans proving "whether those things are so" and not be content with the things their pastors are telling them. They emulate the Catholics. They have to ask the priest every thing instead of looking it up in the Holy Scriptures. May God continue to bless you for this noble endeavor.

My beloved brother excellent presentation, I agree 100% but why the did the disciples baptized only in the name of Jesus and not according to Mathew 28:19?
Hi
Thanks for your kind words. The reason why the Disciples only baptized in Christ's name is because if people accept Him, they would also receive the Father and His Spirit. This is revealed in the following Scripture verses: Matthew 10:40, John 13:20, John 14:23, Romans 10:13.
So anyone who receives Christ will also receive the power of the Godhead. I hope this short explanation will help? God bless you
I don't agree with your answer. There is not one single baptism in the name of the father son and holy Spirit
Amen🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️

1st JOHN 5:7 - THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TRINITY
ruclips.net/video/H6re9Pl-s54/видео.html
IF you are a honest seeker of truth, you can only come to one conclusion.
After math.28:19 the deciples never did baptize in the name of 3 . Only in the name of Jesus.
Matthew 28:19 does not say anything about their nature, nor the relationship that they hold to each other, it does not tell us that there are 3 entities or persons, nor that God is made up of three persons, it does not tell us who the Holy Spirit is, nor that these 3 persons make 1 God, [the word God in this verse is not even mentioned], nor is anything said about the Godhead. This verse says absolutely nothing about any co-equal, co-eternal, co-existent characteristics of these 3 persons or beings.
Reference is made to “the name . . . of the Holy Ghost.” But the word “name” does not always mean a personal name, either in Greek or in English. When we say “in the name of the law,” we are not referring to a person. We mean that which the law stands for; its authority. Robertson’s Word Pictures in the New Testament says: “The use of name [onoma] here is a common one in the Septuagint and the papyri for power or authority.” So, baptism ‘in the name of the Holy Spirit’ recognizes the authority of the spirit, that it is from God and functions by His divine will. This, His disciples understood, because they knew that God had given Jesus all authority; all power.
Jesus used the phrase *‘in my name’* 18 times. 4 times in Matthew, 5 times in Mark, 2 times in Luke, 7 times in John.
In the Acts 14:12 the Apostle proclaims ‘Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.’ Who is the apostle referring to? Jesus’ name only.
In Romans 6 he declares ‘3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection. So, the Father and the Spirit did NOT die. Scripture says ‘buried with Him [Jesus].’ [Not the Father neither the Holy Spirit].
The disciples baptized in the name of Jesus. [See Acts 2:38; 8:12,16; 10:48; 19:5’ 22:16]. We can clearly see that the disciples were given the command to baptize in Jesus’ name only.
The original texts read Matthew 28:19 as follows: “With one word and voice He said to His disciples: "Go, and make disciples of all nations *in My Name,* teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.”
*“With one word and voice He said to His disciples: “Go, and make disciples of all nations in My Name, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you,”* - Source: Ferrar, W. J. (1920). Eusebius: The Proof of the Gospel. Book III, Chapter 6, 132 (a). London: Baker Book House, p. 152
*How do we know this?*
Eusebius, an early church historian, bishop, and well-learned theologian of his time, quoted Matthew 28:19 eighteen times before the Council of Nicaea met in 325AD and never once mentioned 'in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost'.
Eusebius must have had access to older manuscripts that did not have the odd, added words. Furthermore, the following 4 church writers never quoted the current, traditional version of Matthew 28:19.
The Harvard Theological Review > Vol. 81, No. 1, Jan., 1988 > A Note on the Short ending of Matthew 28:19 JSTOR [Journal Storage] on Matthew 28:19 [www.jstor.org/stable/1509588?seq=1]
Book III of his History, Chapter 5, Section 2, which is about the Jewish persecution of early Christians, we read, 'relying upon the power of Christ, who had said to them, 'Go ye and make disciples of all the nations in my name.'
Aphrahat of Nisibis [3rd century]; Eusebius; Hermas [before Eusebius] and Justin Martyr [before Eusebius] We have a total of 4 early church writers/historians who never quoted the later corrupted version of Matthew 28:19. Eusebius, a historian in the third century, quoted Matthew 28:19, 20: as follows: ‘With one word and voice He said to His disciples: ‘Go, and make disciples of all nations in My Name, teaching them to observe all things whatsover I have commanded you.’
The baptismal section of Matthew 28:19 is unique in scripture and contradicts all other verses on baptism in the bible.
The added words of Matthew 28:19 exactly match words in a counterfeit apocryphal writing called the Didache about baptismal practices from the late 1st century or early 2nd century.
The Didache was written at a time when the 1st-century church had already been corrupted by many secular, apocryphal writings. The added words were cherry-picked from chapter 7, verse one of the Didache for maximum effect, and are not even a complete verse. The disciples carried out Jesus' commandment to teach all nations, but there are no records in the entire bible of anybody ever obeying the command to baptize anybody at any time in any place for any reason in the name of the father, and of the son, and of the Holy Ghost.
As previously mentioned, three other early church fathers [Justin Martyr, Hermas, and Aphrahat] who mentioned Matthew 28:19 never quoted it as it is now. Scholars after the first century believe that the baptismal formula of Matthew 28:19 was added to the bible and was not part of the original text. Some experts even say that it was the Roman Catholic church that committed the forgery in the second century AD.

The forger of Matthew 28:19 stole 15 out of 29 words from the Didache, chapter 7:1, and included these words in the bible.
*Jesus used the phrase 'in my name' on multiple other occasions besides Matthew 28:19.*

Matthew 28:19
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Acts 19:5
When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
"The Holy Trinity in the Old Testament" Isaiah 48:16 (Jesus' speaking) "Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.”

You should STUDY THE BIBLE before you talk yourself into hell fire!!
@@ranospiteri5776: When one mentions the *'early Church fathers'* today and instead of people thinking of Jesus' apostles, or even God's Old Testament leaders and prophets, many people point to the Roman Catholic 'fathers'. When perusing the internet and instead of seeing the great names from the Bible, you will see names like Origen, Clement of Rome, Ignatius, and Augustine. *Certainly, there are differences between the true 'church fathers', the apostles of Jesus Christ, and the later so called RCC 'fathers' as named above.*
*The Church of the East* answered the lordly requisition, declaring with great spirit and resolution that they would by no means depart from the custom handed down to them. Then the thunders of excommunication from the bishop of Rome began to roar. Victor, exasperated, broke communication with them, pronounced the clergy of the East unworthy of the name of brethren, and excluded them from all fellowship with the church at Rome (see Mosheim, Institutes of Ecclesiastical History, b.1, cent.2, pt.2, ch. 4, par 11). Here was a gulf created between the eastern and the western churches, a gulf that widened as the bishop of Rome grew in power.
*And so, the Papal Church of Rome is born.* And through the scheming and brutal forces of Satan, she becomes the only VISIBLE church in the world for centuries to come, as God's true church is driven into the wilderness (Revelation 12:14).
The historical record shows that, just as Jesus and the New Testament writers foretold, various heretical ideas and teachers rose up from within the early Church and infiltrated it from without. Christ Himself warned His followers: *‘Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name . . . and will deceive many’* [Matthew 24:4-5].
You can read many similar warnings in other passages [such as Matthew 24:11; Acts 20:29-30; 2 Corinthians 11:13-15; 2 Timothy 4:2-4; 2 Peter 2:1-2; 1 John 2:18-26; 1 John 4:1-3].
The apostles of Christ and writers of the New Testament taught a gospel that is clearly revealed to all who will believe. But the so called 'church fathers' that many people look to today replaced the simplicity of the gospel message with a mysterious and hidden message that could only be interpreted by themselves and the leaders of the Roman Catholic Church.
Many renowned theologians of Christian history speak against accepting the writings of the so-called apostolic fathers.
In their statements you can see the kind of spirit that was driving these so-called church fathers, you only need look at Augustine. Once, while addressing some non-Catholic monks from North Wales who would not bow to his and the Roman Church's requests, he shouted ... *" if you will not join with us in unity, you shall from enemies suffer the vengeance of death."* - Killen, The Old Catholic Church, p.276-7.
*"If we turn to the fathers with the hope that now at last we shall enter the region of unimpeachable methods and certain applications, we shall be disappointed.* I would earnestly ask not to be misunderstood ... *There are but few of them whose pages are not rife with errors - errors of method, errors of fact, errors of history, of grammer, and even of doctrine ...The earliest fathers and apologists add little or nothing to our understanding of scripture ... We turn to them in vain for the justification of any claim to the possession of an infallible tradition."* - Farrar, History of Interpretation, p.162-165
*"A phenomenon singular in its kind, is the striking difference between the writings of the apostles and the writings of the apostolic fathers ... The writings of the so-called apostolic fathers have unhappily, for the most part, come down to us in a condition very little worthy of confidence ... which aimed to crush the free spirit of the gospel."* Neander, General History of the Christian Religion and Church, Vol.1, p.657.
*In the second century, the aims of the sun-worshiping emperors and those of the Alexandrian theologians ran parallel.* There was an ambitious scheme being devised by Satan himself to blend all religions into one, of which "the sun was to be the central object of adoration." (Milman, The History of Christianity, vol.II, p.175-176). Pagan philosophy had a big influence on the early church writers (also known as the 'church fathers'), which Schaff confirms in his book - 'History of the Christian Church', vol.II ...
*Barely two decades after Christ’s death and resurrection, the apostle Paul wrote that many believers were already *‘turning away . . . to a different gospel*’ [Galatians 1:6]. He wrote that he was forced to contend with *‘false apostles, deceitful workers’* who were fraudulently *‘transforming themselves into apostles of Christ’* [2 Corinthians 11:13]. One of the major problems he had to deal with was *‘false brethren’* [2 Corinthians 11:26].
By the late first century, as we see from 3 John 9-10, conditions had grown so dire that false ministers openly refused to receive representatives of the apostle John and were excommunicating true Christians from the Church.
By the second century, faithful members of the Church, Christ’s ‘little flock’ [Luke 12:32], had largely been scattered by waves of deadly persecution because they held firmly to the biblical truth.
*“For fifty years after St. Paul’s life a curtain hangs over the church, through which we strive vainly to look; and when at last it rises, about 120 A.D. with the writings of the earliest church fathers, we find a church in many aspects very different from that in the days of St. Peter and St. Paul”* - The Story of the Christian Church, 1970, p. 33.
*Philo’s writings led to a religious revolution. His influence led nominal Christians to adopt unscriptural doctrines.*
Many of the “Roman Catholic Church Fathers”, instead of rejecting their previous philosophical influences, they Christianised them and mixed Bible truth with the error of pagan philosophy. Here is what Ackermann says concerning one of the very early Greek Church Fathers, Justin Martyr:
"Justin was, as he himself relates, an enthusiastic admirer of Plato before he found in the Gospel that full satisfaction which he had sought earnestly, but in vain, in philosophy. And, though the Gospel stood infinitely higher in his view than the Platonic philosophy, yet he regarded the latter as a preliminary stage to the former. And in the same way did other apologetic writers express themselves concerning Plato and his philosophy.." - Ackermann, Das Christliche im Plato, chap. i., Hamburg, 1835; Eng. transl., The Christian Element in Plato, Edinburgh, 1861.
*The Christian Justin Martyr (c.100-c.165), a Platonist by training,* was among the first to argue that Christianity could draw on both the scriptures and Greek philosophy and could even appropriate philosophy for its own ends. “Whatever good they [the philosophers] taught belongs to us Christians.” He was echoed by Clement of Alexandria (c.150-c.215), who claimed that God had given philosophy to the Greeks as a “school-master” until the coming of the Lord as “a preparation which paved the way towards perfection in Christ. - Charles Freeman, The Closing of the Western Mind, (New York, NY: Vintage Books, 2002) pp. 142-143.
*"As to the fathers in general ... of these we may safely state, that there is not a truth in the most orthodox creed, that cannot be proved by their authority, nor a heresy that has disgraced the Romish Church , that may not challenge them as its abettors. In points of doctrine, their authority is, with me, nothing.* THE WORD OF GOD ALONE CONTAINS MY CREED." - Adam Clarke, Commentary on Proverbs 8
*The Encyclopædia Britannica (1976 edition) states:* “From the middle of the 2nd century [that is, the 100’s] AD, Christians who had some training in Greek philosophy began to feel the need to express their faith in its terms, both for their own intellectual satisfaction and in order to convert educated pagans. The philosophy that suited them best was Platonism.”
@@ranospiteri5776: In fact, Encyclopedia Britannica, describes Justin Martyr as “the first Christian to use Greek philosophy in the service of the Christian faith”.
*And as German Church historian Philip Schaff says in his Encyclopedia:* “many of the early Christians, ... found peculiar attractions in the doctrines of Plato, and employed them as weapons for the defense and extension of Christianity, or *cast the truths of Christianity in a Platonic mold.* The doctrines of the Logos and the Trinity received their shape *from Greek Fathers, who, if not trained in the schools, were much influenced, directly or indirectly, by the Platonic philosophy,* particularly in its Jewish-Alexandrian form. *That errors and corruptions crept into the Church from this source can not be denied.* ……. Among the most illustrious of the Fathers who were more or less Platonic, may be named Justin Martyr, Athenagoras, Theophilus, Ireneus, Hippolytus, Clement of Alexandria, Origen, Minutius Felix, Eusebius, Methodius, Basil the Great, Gregory of Nyssa, and St. Augustine.” (The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge, article: Platonism and Christianity).
*The Encyclopædia Britannica (1976 edition) states:* “From the middle of the 2nd century [that is, the 100’s] AD, Christians who had some training in Greek philosophy began to feel the need to express their faith in its terms, both for their own intellectual satisfaction and in order to convert educated pagans. The philosophy that suited them best was Platonism.”
*Historian Jesse Hurlbut says* of this time of transformation: “We name the last generation of the first century, from 68 to 100 A.D., *‘The Age of Shadows,’* partly because the gloom of persecution was over the church, but more especially because of all the periods in the [church’s] history, it is the one about which we know the least. We have no longer the clear light of the Book of Acts to guide us; and no author of that age has filled the blank in the history . . .
“For fifty years after St. Paul’s life a curtain hangs over the church, through which we strive vainly to look; and when at last it rises, about 120 A.D. with the writings of the earliest church fathers, we find a church in many aspects very different from that in the days of St. Peter and St. Paul” - The Story of the Christian Church, 1970, p. 33.
*This ‘very different’ church would grow in power and influence, and within a few short centuries would come to dominate even the mighty Roman Empire.*
So, we can clearly see that many of the so-called early church fathers were thoroughly educated in Greek philosophy.
Paul warns, *“See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition,* according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.” Colossians 2:8 ESV
*“But in vain do they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.”* Matthew 15:9
the word Power in Matt 28:18 is a different Greek word than the Greek word found in Luke24:49 for power. They are not the same and cannot be compared to each other as if they are the same.
Undoubtedly, the doctrine of the Trinity is a complex one and mere mortals like ourselves wrestle to understand it. Diligent students of the Bible came slowly to understand it as they began to “grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” But in the language used to denote the Holy Spirit in the Bible, referring to “Him” as a “teacher,” “guide,” one who “convicts of sin, and of righteousness and of judgment,” who “speaks” to mankind what the “Father tells Him,” there is enough evidence for us to accept the Holy Spirit/Ghost as not just having presence, but being a real presence in our lives, and definitely a part of the triune nature of the Godhead🙏🏼❤️

Pioneering Again. What of Jesus’ parable of the Ten Virgins? The five foolish ones who carried no oil in their lamps and were finally shut out of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb? The oil is symbolic of the Holy Spirit, yes? We need to pray every single day for the anointing of the Holy Spirt in our lives, do that we will do the proclaiming of the Three Angels Messages before our Savior comes as our King!🙏🏼❤️
@@susankane8728
You are correct in stating that the oil represents the Holy Spirit. However you are definitely wrong in defining the Holy Spirit as another god!!! The Holy Spirit is simply the power of God the Father and His Son omnipresence nature's. Please see: Psalms 139:7 & Psalms 51:11 to get the Biblical definition of the Holy Spirit.
Finally, please don't forget to watch the video link sent to you earlier...
@@susankane8728
In your belief that the Holy Spirit is a "Divine Being" just as much as God the Father and His Son Jesus, do you also worship the Holy Spirit in the same way as you do for God the Father and His Son Jesus?
If so, then you worship a "divine being" who does not exist.
This then places one in the real and present danger of breaking the first and second commandments:
"Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
and
"... Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them ..."
Just something for you to think about and pray for greater light and understanding. *Not here to debate or argue.* If you cling to your belief that the Holy Spirit is a divine being no matter what, then that is between you and God.🙏🏼🕊️
The Holy Spirit always points us to Jesus because of His death on the Cross. He does everything He can to woo us to the Redeemer since that’s the reason for Jesus coming to earth. He pleads for us to do this “with groanings that cannot be uttered.” We May pray to Him to lead us into all truth that God the Father and God the Son have shown us in their Word. He is most concerned that we honor and glorify the Redeemer so that we may be forgiven of our sins and demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit that He bestows. All three Persons work together, they are part of the Godhead.
Part 2.
What did Jesus look like?
Acts 2:31
He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
Mark 16:9-15
Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. [10] And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept. [11] And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not. [12] After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.
John 20:
[11] But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
[15] Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
[16] Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
[19] Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
Luke 24:
And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
[37] But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
[38] And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
[39] Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
[40] And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet. [41] And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
[42] And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
[43] And he took it, and did eat before them.
John 20:
[20] And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
[24] But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
[25] The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
[26] And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
[27] Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
[28] And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
[29] Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
Part 3.
What did Jesus look like;
And the commandment not to make a graven image.
Peter 1:18-19
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
[19] But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Hebrews 10:7
Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
Isaiah 1:18
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Psalm 51:6-7
Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
[7] Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Exodus 25:
[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.
[3] And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass,
[4] And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, [5] And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
Jeremiah 13:23
Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.
1 Peter 1:
[18] Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
[19] But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Luke 24:44
And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
Exodus 20:
[4] Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: [5] Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
Exodus 23:
[23] For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.
[24] Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.
Leviticus 26:1
Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.
Deuteronomy 5:
[8] Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
[9] Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,
Deuteronomy 7:
[25] The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.
[26] Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.
Numbers 33:
[51] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
[52] Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places:
[53] And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.
Isaiah 41:29
Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion.
Isaiah 42:8
I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
Isaiah 44:9
They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.
Romans 11:
[4] But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
[5] Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

The (trinity) is not only a perverse corrupt idle vain word of confusion not found in the book of the LORD, it is a doctrine of devils and a damnable heresy!
Those who believe in the damnable heresy they call (Trinity) find it hard to understand and almost impossible to preach using words found only in the holy scripture.
And yet the preaching of Jesus as the only wise God and Saviour, the blessed and only Potentate, the everlasting Father, the Almighty can be understood by a child.
2 Timothy 3:15-17
[15] And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
[16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
[17] That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
2 Corinthians 11:3-4
[3] But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
[4] For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
Deuteronomy 6:4
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
John 4:24
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Exodus 3:13-14
[13] And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
[14] And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
John 8:56-58
[56] Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
[57] Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
[58] Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Isaiah 45:21-23
[21] Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. [22] Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
[23] I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
Philippians 2:10
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
1 John 5:7
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
Job 13:8-10
[8] Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?
[9] Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?
[10] He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
John 14:8-9
[8] Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
[9] Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
John 8:24-27
[24] I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
[25] Then said they unto him,
Who art thou?
And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
[26] I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
[27] They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
1 John 2:23
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
John 20:28-29
[28] And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
[29] Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
Revelation 1:7-8
[7] Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
[8] I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
1 Timothy 6:14-16
[14] That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
[15] Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
[16] Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
The bible says Jesus is from ancient times, from of old, from everlasting, and from eternity. HE WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH THE FATHER. It also tells us that he created everything that has ever been created, and nothing that has been created was created without him. All things are held together by him. We clearly know that at the beginning the father wasn't alone. In the book of Genesis, the Holy Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters. We also know that when God created man, he was not alone because he said let US create man in our image.
In Psalms 89:27 it says "I will also make him my firstborn, greatest of the kings of the earth." God the Father exalted Jesus while he was in the flesh. Philippians 2:5-6 clearly tells us that Jesus Christ who was God in his very nature did not consider using the fact that he was God to his advantage while he was in human form. But Jesus made himself nothing by taking on the role of a servant.
We know that he is eternal and our creator. Not to mention, the bible clearly shows that the Holy Spirit is a person who knows the mind of God. The spirit of God has emotions, the Holy spirit teaches, testifies, guides, speaks, enlightens, strives, commands, intercedes, sends workers, comforts, and he also works. When dealing with Ananais, Peter told him that he had not lied to man, but he had lied to God because Ananais had lied to the Holy Spirit. The bible tells us that the Holy Spirit is omnipresent when it says where can I go from your spirit. The Holy Spirit is known as He. The holy spirit was involved in the creation and HE is also known as another helper.
"In Matthew 4:16-17 we see that the Father speaks out of heaven when Jesus is baptized - a clear distinction. We also read in John 17:1 that Jesus prayed to the Father, and he carefully made a distinction between the two in saying "Father... glorify your Son, that the Son may glorify You." In fact, 1 John 2:1 tells us that Jesus is our Advocate with the Father. It doesn't make sense to equate Jesus and the Father as the same person, as these verses would be rendered nonsense.
John 14:20 again demonstrates the personhood of both the Son and Father when Jesus said "In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you." Since we realize that we are different persons than Jesus, this verse would argue that the Father is likewise distinct from the Son and not the same person.
Also we see the Holy Spirit is not Jesus. In John 14:26 Jesus again makes this explicit where He teaches "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things." Previous to this Jesus identified the Spirit as "another helper" (John 14:6). That word "another" is key. We also saw the Spirit in the Matthew 4 passage above descend on Jesus as a dove.
We know the Spirit is a person, because He has all the attributes of a person and not just "God's holy force" as some are wanting to believe. You cannot lie to an active force, nor can you grieve one (see Eph 4:30). Thus the Bible is clear in presenting each of the three members of the trinity as separate persons - each distinct - but each fully the one true God."
THE FATHER IS GOD.
THE SON IS GOD.
THE HOLYSPIRIT IS GOD.
THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE.
Why does God the Father call Jesus GOD.
New International Version
But about the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.

The bible says that the word became a man. (FLESH)
New International Version
Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, (but a body you prepared for me;)
In other words before Jesus took on human nature, ( flesh).
What was he? John 1:14 = GOD became man.
HE WAS GOD, ONE MEMBER OF THE TRIUNE GODHEAD. BECAUSE GOD EXISTS IN 3 FATHER, SON, AND HOLYSPIRIT.
So before Jesus took on flesh HE was one with THE FATHER.
Sharing the glory with THE FATHER , SELF EXISTING WITH THE FATHER IN TOTAL HARMONY, AND IN PERFECT UNION.
THE bible says THE WORD took on the form of a servant .
New International Version philippians 2:7
rather, HE made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
In order to take on the role of a servant,
HE could not have been a servant.
JESUS was not a servant until HE took
On flesh, HE existed before HE took on flesh, but he wasn't a servant.HE IS God just Like the FATHER and just like the HOLYSPIRIT
JESUS said if you don't believe me, believe the works the miracles THAT I DONE.
New International Version john 10:38
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 in the FATHER.”
It is very clear that Jesus was doing the things, That only God can do.
If doing the things that only God can do
Is not good enough for someone to believe, they must be blind.
What more can you possibly want HE lived out a life greater than anything written can explain.
He lived a sinless and perfect life.
New International Version
2 corinthians 5:21
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
No one on earth has ever done the works that he has done. He done it all !
NO ONE ELSE HAS EVER DONE ANYTHING CLOSE TO WHAT HE HAS DONE.
HE LIVED THE LIFE THAT ONLY GOD COULD LIVE.
HE DONE THE THINGS THAT ONLY GOD
CAN DO.
HE FORGIVES SINS.
HE GIVES LIFE.
HE IS THE SAVIOR.
HE GAVE SIGHT TO THE BLIND.
HE HEALED THE SICK
HE WALKED ON WATER.
HE CALMED THE STORM.
HE CHANGED PEOPLE FROM THE INSIDE.
HE SHINED LIGHT INTO THE DARKNESS.
HE RAISED THE DEAD, HE RAISED HIMSELF FROM THE GRAVE, CONQUERING DEATH.
HE SAID ALL THAT BELONGS TO THE FATHER IS MINE. WHO CAN MAKE SUCH
A STATEMENT.
THE LIST GOES ON.
HE SAID IN JOHN 8:24
King James Bible
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I AM HE, ye shall die in your sins.
U one said the Holy Spirit is the father os Jesus was given his father
There are those who declare that God the Father and Jesus Christ, are the same person. They contend that Jesus is merely a manifestation or development or role of the Father. The Bible, however, says that the Father and Jesus are distinct from each other. They are not the same person. There are several ways in which the Bible illustrates this truth.
1. The Father Sent the Son
Another distinction we have between the Father and the Son is that the Father is the sender and Jesus, the Son, is the one sent.
Jesus said that it was God the Father who sent Him into the world.
"My food," said Jesus, "is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work" (John 4:34).
He emphasized it again
By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me (John 5:30).
Jesus made it clear the Father had set Him apart and sent Him into the world.
What about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, `I am God's Son'? (John 10:36).
Jesus said that His words came from the Father.
For I did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it (John 12:49)
The Apostle Paul also testified that the Father sent the Son into the world:
But when the fulness of the time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law (Galatians 4:4).
2. The Father Testified To The Son
The Bible speaks of the Father testifying of the Son:
If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. There is another who bears witness of me, and I know that the witness which he witnesses of me is true . . . And the Father himself, who sent me, has testified of me (John 5:31,32,37).
In this passage, Jesus is speaking to the religious leaders. He says that He is not the only one who is testifying concerning Himself. Jesus mentions the testimony of John the Baptist and the testimony of God the Father. Jesus contrasts His testimony from that of the Father showing that they are two distinct persons. The Father provides additional testimony to the character of Jesus.
3. Jesus Prayed to the Father
The two divine persons-God the Father and God the Son-exist eternally and distinctly in an interpersonal relationship. For example, in the Garden of Gethsemane Jesus did not pray to Himself, but to the Father. In Jesus' prayer to God the Father, the clear distinction is made between the two of them. He prayed.
I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in me through their word; that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you sent me. "The glory which you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as we are one; I in them and you in me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that you sent me, and loved them, even as you have loved me (John 17:20-23).
4. There Was Mutual Knowledge and Love between the Father and the Son
Scripture speaks of the mutual knowledge and love that God the Father and God the Son have for one another. Jesus said.
All things have been handed over to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal him (Matthew 11:27).
Jesus also said.
The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand (John 3:35).
5. Jesus Did the Father's Will
Jesus did the will of the Father not His own will.
Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us." Jesus said to him, "Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father; how can you say, 'Show us the Father?' "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 on my own initiative, but the Father abiding in me does his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves (John 14:8-11).
Jesus did not say He was the Father but rather He was the one who perfectly represented the Father. However Jesus testified that God the Father was with Him in a mystical way.
6. No One Can Get to God the Father Except Through Jesus the Son
Jesus told people to believe in Him.
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me (John 14:1).
The Bible also makes it clear that one cannot know God the Father apart from Jesus
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also; from now on you know him, and have seen him" (John 14:6).
Paul wrote.
For there is one God; there is also one mediator between God and humankind, Christ Jesus, himself human (1 Timothy 2:5)..
THE SON (JESUS ) IS GOD
The HOLYSPIRIT IS GOD,
THE FATHER IS GOD.
NO 3 GOD'S, BUT THE ONE TRUE GOD.
HEAR O ISREAL THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE.
THE TRIUNE GODHEAD.
Mathew 28:19 is probably an alteration from the original text!
There are at least a half a dozen or more scriptures that changed after the third century to support the Trinity doctrine. This is why many newer translations that had access to manuscripts predating the Catholic's Latin Vulgate version were changed back to the original text.
There is strong evidence and logic that Mathew 28:19 was changed also. Just read all the other text about the disciples being baptized and they all say, "in the name of Jesus", but never in the Father or the Holy Spirit. So out of seven scriptures about baptism one (Mathew 28:19) does not match the others. If Mathew 28:19 is the correct commandment about proper baptisms then the apostles did not obey it.
As for logic; What does the baptism symbolize? According to the gospels it symbolizes dying with the Christ .... so that we may be raised up with him also. So how does that fit with the Father and Holy Spirit? Did they die and get resurrected too? Of course not! Were they "GIVEN" their power and authority over all things? If so by whom? So there is no logic, reason or tradition of being baptized in the name of the Father or Holy Spirit accept by the Roman Church and all based on one scripture that doesn't resonate with the others.
We are to be baptized into the name of Jesus. But instead we get baptized in the name of a Triune god made of multiple persons.
And like you brought out ... the Holy Spirit is what Jesus baptizes his disciples with.
Thank you for your comment.
with all due respect Mathew 28-19 is fraudulent, it is well established to be added or as they say a "later interpolation" it is not in the earliest manuscripts, same with Joanine comma- 1 John 5 -7
What did Jesus truly look like?
Part 1.
Many will not like these precepts because they are contrary to the traditions we have believed all our lives.
What did Jesus, God manifested in the flesh, look like according to the holy scriptures before he rose from the dead and before his second coming?
He certainly did not have blue eyes and long brown hair!
Jesus was likened to his mother's heritage, so think of King David (white and ruddy) and read these statutes:
Luke 24:27
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
Psalm 40:7
Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
1 Samuel 16:11-13
And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither.
[12] And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.
[13] Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
1 Samuel 17:42
And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.
Luke 1:30-32
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
[31] And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
[32] He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
Matthew 20:30
And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.
Song of Solomon 5:8-11
I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of love.
[9] What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women? what is thy beloved more than another beloved, that thou dost so charge us?
[10] My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.
[11] His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.
1 Corinthians 11:14
Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
Song of Solomon 5:12-16
His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set.
[13] His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.
[14] His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires.
[15] His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
[16] His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
John 15:12-15
This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
[13] Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
[14] Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
[15] Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
2 Chronicles 20:7
Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever?
James 2:23
And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
Genesis 22:8
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
John 1:29
The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Mark 10:47-48
And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
[48] And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me
Does the bible talk about the Father, yes
Does the bible talk about the Son, yes
Does the bible talk about holyspirit, yes
Each member of the Godhead raised Jesus from the dead.
Each member of the Godhead is needed
For salvation.
When God speaks he USES EXPRESSIONS LIKE (LET US, IN OUR) SHOWING MORE THAN ONE.
WHEN JESUS SPEAKES HE USES DISTINCTION. BETWEEN HIM THE FATHER, AND THE HOLYSPIRIT.
THE HOLYSPIRIT SPEAKES WITH AUTHORITY IN ( Act 13:2)
English Standard Version
While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”
The Father speaks from heaven while Jesus gets baptized and the holyspirit comes down.
Yes the Godhead is one, but there is no denying the he exists in the 3 persons of the Godhead.
The Father never stop being the father,
The Holy spirit never stop being the holy Spirit , but Jesus stop being the fullness of God to dwell amongst humanity, because we would not have been able to see him in his full glory
But now GOD is all in all.
God is triune,
To deny the self existence of one member of GOD is to deny the Godhead.
English Standard Version
MATTHEW 28:19
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the (name) of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
HE WAS STILL, TRULY GOD, BUT ALSO TRULY MAN.
GOD IS TRIUNE,
YOU CANNOT BE SAVED, WITHOUT ALL 3 MEMBERS OF THE GODHEAD.
How so u know your god is a he ?
Why waste your time sending such a dumb question!! When God said that He made man in His own image, God made Adam FIRST. Then HE made Eve. Why would you ever want to change the gender of your Creator!! Please don't take the Lords name in vain. God is not a child who can be trifled with.
There is no need to blank out Jesus’s face, though it is true that we do not have a clear description of Him in the Bible. He was fully human when He came to earth, so we can accept a face- one with Jewish features and coloring would be most appropriate. Indeed, there are many references in the Bible to all three persons of the Godhead: God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost. All three persons are One in character and purpose: Holy, Perfect and Eternal. All three were involved in the Creation of the World, and all three are concerned with mankind’s Salvation. Jesus willingly came to earth as the sacrificial Lamb to die and shed His precious, sinless blood so that we could have forgiveness of sin and be ready to live eternally with a Holy God. This presentation speaks the Truth of the Word, except, it does not acknowledge the Holy Ghost/Spirit as the third person of the Godhead. Although the word Trinity is not in the Bible, there is much evidence to show that the Holy Spirit is indeed a person who is intimately connected with the Father and the Son. Jesus told His disciples that He would send them “another comforter” when He left them and ascended into Heaven, and said “When He the Spirit of truth is come He will guide you into all truth” and “bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you,” for He would “speak” of the things that the Father gave Him to speak. This is a person of great authority, not just a presence without bodily form. Some have called this three in One intimate relationship the Triune God. Certainly, we are introduced in the Bible to the Godhead, the three in One, no less🙏🏼❤️
Thank you for your feedback. However I would STRONGLY recommend that you watch the following video, entitled: "A QUESTION THAT DESTROYS THE TRINITY IDOL" from us at the following link:

“Jesus said, “I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you” (John 14:18). Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is our Comfort- er. In fact, John told us exactly that in 1 John 2:1. Notice what he wrote here: “My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate [παρακλητος: Comforter] with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.” The other four times παρακλητος was used in the Bible it was translated, Comfort- er. In Greek there is no distinction between the advocate in this verse and the Comforter in John’s other writings, and here John plainly tells us that the Comforter is Jesus Christ.
The Bible says of Jesus, “Wherefore he is able also to save them to the utter- most that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them” (Hebrews 7:25). Jesus is our intercessor, our mediator. The Bible says, “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5). How many mediators do we have between us and God? One! Yet, the Bible says, “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh in- tercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered” (Romans 8:26). The Spirit makes intercession for us as our Advocate and Comforter. This Spirit that makes intercession for us is the Spirit of Jesus Christ.”
Do you have any scripture where I can see and read "God the Son" and "God the Holy Spirit" in these exact words or phraseology? I've never seen either phrase, but if you can provide them, please do.
Jesus, in His Great Commission said, “Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: teaching them to observe whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with alway, even unto the end of the world.”(Matthew 28:18-20). Jesus gave God and the Holy Spirit equal authority with Himself.

Like the example previously given in response to this vid, a policeman may say, "Stop in the name of the law!", the law is not a person, but the authority by which the person is obligated to respect and adhere to, and in respecting the policeman as an officer of the law.
However, understanding that the Holy Spirit is the divine power and presence of Father God and His Son Jesus, as so beautifully expressed in John 14:18, 21-23, makes total sense to me. It also makes sense to me why Jesus did not include the Holy Spirit at all when He said, "I and my Father are one." (See, John 10:30; 1 John 1:3; John 17:3)
I think it best that we simply agree to disagree on the matter concerning the Holy Spirit and move on. God bless.
Why does God the Father call Jesus GOD.

Matthew 28:19
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Let us read the whole context.
Jesus Commissions His Disciples:
Matthew 28:16-20
16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Note: Yes, our Lord Jesus Christ commanded His disciples to baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. But this does not mean that our God has three persons. The context is telling us that we must believed in our Lord Jesus as our Everlasting Father and we believed that our Lord Jesus Christ as the Word who became flesh and He was called then the Son of God and we believed that, that the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ is with us all the time on the day when He ascended up into heaven. In the following verses you will see that the desciples baptized the people in the name of Jesus only because the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is all attached in the name of Jesus.
John Baptism is a baptism of repentance while baptism in the name of Jesus we believed that our Lord Jesus Christ is God Himself who came in the flesh and He is our Everlasting Father because He created us in His own image and we buried our sins in the water and became a new person coming out of the water.
Acts 2:38
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 8:12
12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)

Acts 19:5
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Ephesians 4:4-6
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Note: We are baptized in the name of Jesus because we believed in Him and He is our One Lord, One God and our Everlasting Father who is the creator of heaven and earth.
It's unfortunate and unbelievable that you can wrest the scriptures and SoP in an attempt to justify your IMPERSONAL Holy Spirit ideology: and in the process mislead God's people to fall into deception. Mt.28:19 refers: 1. We are being referred to Three who have three different names. If the the HS is a power as you often put it, then how could it have a name? And if it is Christ in the spirit form, how could He have another name other than Christ's? 2. You have said that the purpose of baptism is so that the Father and the Son may send us the POWER of the HS. But this is only one aspect of baptism. The power from Christ comes to us through the HS, the HS is not the power of Christ but an Agent of that divine power. Concerning baptism the SoP states that the ordinance entails our covenant with the Godhead in which we pledge our submission and obedience to the Heavenly powers. In response, the Three Persons pledge to spare nothing to ensure our salvation. While the HS is involved with our sanctification, the Father and the Son are active in the heavenly sanctuary where intercession, forgiveness and judgment is ongoing. This is the message we can obtain in several SoP passages including 6BC 1075; Ms 27, 1900; Ms 85,1901; etc,etc. 3. To many, the fact that you systematically quote from the word of God means that you're genuine and honest. That's why they're expressing their gratefulness to you. Unfortunately most of them are too lazy to interrogate your presentations, let alone dig the truth for themselves. Why are you deliberately avoiding clear EGW statements which clarify that there are three Persons of the Godhead? The fact that only the Father and the Son are at times mentioned doesn't mean that the HS doesn't exist. Let's be serious.
Pioneering again, Stop twisting the scriptures. Stop deceiving people with your erroneous beliefs. Jesus said He gas been given all power, but that has nothing to do with the power we get when we are baptised with the Holy Ghost.
Matt 28: 19 is the only Biblical instruction that we have for water baptism, and that's the only way the Apostles and disciples would have baptised people.
Hello,
Please do your Scripture research CAREFULLY.... Because we have!!! Unless you can prove from the Scriptures of truth that we are wrong then I would strongly recommend that you don't make any accusations against us. I await humbly to see if you can prove us wrong otherwise on Matthew 28:19
Also in the book of Acts why did the disciples baptized in Christ's name ONLY!!!??? Example Acts 8:15-16
@@pioneeringagain1844 Matt 28: 19 is the only Biblical instruction that we have for water baptism, and that's the way the Apostles and disciples would have baptised people.
The Greek meaning for, "baptism in Jesus name" is a two fold meaning, and none of them is " baptism in the name from Jesus".
The Greek meaning of, "IN" Is, "Into" it's meaning is "Into Jesus" (Water baptism is symbolic of being baptised into Jesus) .
And the Greek meaning for, "Name" is, "By the authority" of Jesus. What authority?, Matt 28: 19.
Water baptism is neither salvation or in the name of Jesus.
Water baptism is an outward sign of an already inward experience. It's identifying with who you are baptised into.
The born again Christians is identifying with the death burial and resurrection of Jesus.

There is no problem using Matthew 28:19 for baptism. The problem with people today is thinking that the Holy Spirit is a separate Being called "God The Holy Spirit". There is nowhere in the entire Bible where this title is given for the Spirit of God. This 3-Co-Eternal Being concept originated with paganism and has been incorporated among Christians.
Lastly you still tried to prove your points by using Greek meanings etc. This does not validate anything. You need to prove all things through the Bible. God has not made His word hard too understand. The problem is with man not taking the Bible as it reads.
@@pioneeringagain1844 you are showing your ignorance of the Bible and you refuse to believe the Biblical Hebrew and Greek.
Because Acts 5: 3-4 says the Holy Ghost is God, (Theos) the same as Jesus and God the Father are (Theos).
The Hebrew and Greek texts prove the trinity.
Only unsaved people reject the trinity. And every born again Christians believe and know that God is ONE God manifested in THREE persons. (The trinity).
We must use valid scholarship to prove our points. The Greek word in Matt 28:19 for power is not the same Greek word describing the power of the Holy Spirit. In Matt 28:19 Jesus said all authority is given unto me. And the baptismal vow of baptizing in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is misinterpreted because this is not understood. The original Greek should be translated "baptizing them "INTO" the name" not "IN" the name. The word translated 'name' can mean a proper name, but in this case it really means "authority." When a police officer shouts, "Stop in the name of the law!" He is not talking about a person. He is not even referring to himself. He says for the person to stop in the authority of the law that covers the present situation. So, Jesus said that all authority was given to Him by His Father and His followers are to baptize individuals into the authority of the Father and the Son which is made personal to each believer by the presence of the Spirit of Christ. When Christ leads His people, they are to be obedient to the moving of His Spirit in their hearts and minds. It is Christ's Spirit and we are to obey. A good study can be found at www.ucg.org/bible-study-tools/booklets/is-god-a-trinity/does-matthew-28-verse-19-prove-the-trinity which shows that not all Christian denominations embrace the trinity doctrine. Nice video. I agree with the main premise that Matt 28:19 does not prove a trinity, but the argument needs to be based on valid language scholarship.
Thank you for sharing your comment. Appreciated it.
Jesus is the Holy Ghost.

Part 1.
God is one person known by many names; and so few people there be that understand.

1 John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

John 14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

Isaiah 45:21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. 22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. 23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
