Chapter 4: The Falling Away
With the end of the apostolic era the church of Ephesus was replaced by the church of Smyrna. Antichrist would deny the truth that our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. Now belief in God and His Son was faced with tribulation and persecution.

The Holy Spirit is God
The trinity is surely a false doctrine.
Wrong!
@@jamestomas6039 Trinity = Demonic doctrine
Why do people always resort to mans interpretations. Forget the past and read the scriptures.

The nature of the Holy Spirit is a mystery. Men cannot explain it,
because the Lord has not revealed it to them. Men having fanciful views
may bring together passages of Scripture and put a human construction on
them, but the acceptance of these views will not strengthen the church.
Regarding such mysteries, which are too deep for human understanding,
silence is golden. {AA 52.1}
Thank you Talking Rock Sabbath Chapel for challenging my faith regarding
this subject because I never knew the difference between the Trinity
and the Godhead
I will never use again the word Trinity but use Godhead
The catholic have a bad connotation regarding the Trinity (occult
symbols or occult meaning) but people cannot excluded the evidence of
the Holy Spirit working as an entity working for the salvation of men.
Excluding the fact that the Holy Spirit makes decision also according to
the Godhead will be false.
"Our opponents sometimes claim that no belief should be held
dogmatically which is not explicitly stated in scripture. But the
Protestant Churches have themselves accepted such dogmas, as the
Trinity, for which there is no such precise authority in the Gospels."
(Graham Greene, [celebrated Catholic Author], Life Magazine, 30 Oct.
1950
"As fundamental errors, we might class with this counterfeit sabbath
other errors which Protestants have brought away from the Catholic
Church, such as sprinkling for baptism, the TRINITY, the conciousness of
the dead and eternal life in misery. The mass who have held these
fundamental errors,
have doubtless done it ignorantly; but can it be supposed that the
church of Christ will carry along with her these errors till the
judgement scenes
burst upon the world? We think not." (James White, Review and Herald,
Sept. 12, 1854, vol. 6, no. 5, page 36, par. 8)
James Whites had problem with the word Trinity and what it emplies but
not with the Godhead doctrine.
but from my own research The Holy Spirit is still call The Third Person
As for the Godhead,
yes. I believe in ONE God: three co-eternal persons- Father, Son and
the Holy Spirit. The Father and Son are undeniable, but it is with the
Holy Spirit that things get tricky for people, but we have to remember
that Christ came to reveal the Father, and the Holy Spirit reveals
Christ but as for the Holy Spirit, His personality is not revealed and
can not be comprehended (thus far at lest). We know His office-work but
as for the details of His personality we do not. Because that is so
folks deny the Holy Spirit as a part of the Godhead, but He is verily a
person and part of the Godhead.
1. The Spirit can distribute talents and gifts
1 Corinthians 12:11
11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to
every man severally as he will.
2. The Spirit has to be known and accepted
Acts 19:2
2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?
And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be
any Holy Ghost.
3. The Spirit came upon Mary and the Father overshadow her
Luke 1:35
35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come
upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore
also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the
Son of God.
4. The Spirit conceived Jesus the man
Matthew 1:18-20
18 Now
the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was
espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child
of the Holy Ghost.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make
her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord
appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear
not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her
is of the Holy Ghost.
4. The Spirit don't accept blasphemy against him but against the Son can
be forgiven
Matthew 12:31-32 [Full Chapter]
Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be
forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be
forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of
man, it shall be forgiven
him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be
forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
The Spirit was to be given as a regenerating agent, and without this the
sacrifice of Christ would have been of no avail. The power of evil had
been strengthening for centuries, and the submission of men to this
satanic captivity was amazing. Sin could be resisted and overcome only
through the mighty agency of the Third Person of the Godhead,
who would come with no modified energy, but in the fullness of divine
power. It is the Spirit that makes effectual what has been wrought out
by the world’s Redeemer. {DA 671.2}
Sin could be resisted and overcome only
through the mighty agency of the THIRD PERSON OF THE GODHEAD
Romans 1:20
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are
clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his
eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Colossians 2:9
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Acts 17:29
Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think
that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art
and man's device.

Regarding such mysteries, which are too deep for human understanding,

The Acts of the Apostles - egw
The office of the Holy Spirit is distinctly specified in the words of
Christ: “When He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of
righteousness, and of judgment.” John 16:8. It is the Holy Spirit that
convicts of sin. If the sinner responds to the quickening influence of
the Spirit, he will be brought to repentance and aroused to the
importance of obeying the divine requirements. {AA 52.2}
The Acts of the Apostles - egw
From the beginning, God has been working by His Holy Spirit
through human instrumentalities for the accomplishment of His purpose
in behalf of the fallen race. This was manifest in the lives of the
patriarchs. To the church in the wilderness also, in the time of Moses,
God gave His “good Spirit to instruct them.” Nehemiah 9:20. And in the
days of the apostles He wrought mightily for His church through the
agency of the Holy Spirit.
The same power that sustained the patriarchs, that gave Caleb and
Joshua faith and courage, and that made the work of the apostolic church
effective, has upheld God’s faithful children in every succeeding age.
It was through the power of the Holy Spirit that during the Dark Ages
the Waldensian Christians helped to prepare the way for the Reformation.
It was the same power that made successful the efforts of the noble men
and women who pioneered the way for the establishment of modern
missions and for the translation of the Bible into the languages and
dialects of all nations and peoples. {AA 53.1}

In your opinion, is the Holy Spirit a person, distinct and separate from the Father and Son, but equally divine? And what of the Godhead, how do you define it? One in three manifestations? Two only? Three that are one?
gentlewind The godhead, Rom_1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: The Godhead belongs to God it is His divinity, "θειότης" Never does it mean a group of any number in the Bible that is.
there is no 1st Corinthians 1:34..........
Search for the One True God? Right here in this verse-->
1 John 5:20 KJV - And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
Jesus.
+david crane
John 17, The Father is the Only True God.
1 Jn. 5:20 says the Father is the True God and Jesus is Eternal Life
@@deus_vult8111 that verse shews the words "HIS SON"... This verse proves The Trinity of God Also...
So in the end... God(The Word) was made flesh and dwelt among us..
JESUS is The True God in The flesh-->
14¶And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
7For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
@@davidcrane6593 nope. Connect this to John 17:3
Jesus says “This is everlasting life, that they may know you (Father), the Only True God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.”
@@deus_vult8111 yes... BOTH ...Father ...AND ...Son are shown to be THE TRUE GOD. And the way its worded they are seperable yet inseparable Persons of The Trinity as The Word clearly shows-->
1 John 5:7 KJV - For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
@@yoyo8140 every creature alive (besides those in hell)will worship Jesus(The Lamb) along side The Father in heaven-->
Revelation 5:13 KJV - And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
This is heresy. Jesus is God Almighty.
