On March 8th 2024 I was blessed to be married to a woman whom the Lord miraculously brought into my life just a couple months prior. The following are the Marriage Vows that the two of us drew up together based on: 1) a wedding card I had written a couple months prior for a family friend, 2) the Bible, and 3) traditional vows. Sources for the traditional vows we used will follow:
Marriage is a union instituted in the beginning by the God whom the Bible defines as “love” (Gen. 2:24; 1 Jn. 4:7-8). It is a portrait of the reunion of disgraced man with his God (Eph. 5:21-33; Rev. 19:7-9). The vows thereof represent the pinnacle of life’s meaning in as much as they reflect God’s Will and the ultimate delight of human experience according to the Bible (Gen. 2:18; Mt. 19:4-5; Pro. 5:18-19). Marriage is the union of two individuals whom the Lord brings together, and is intended to be indissoluble (Mk. 10:8-9; Mt. 19:8). Save for the case of adultery, divorce is considered sinful before God (Mt. 19:9). No good thing in life comes easy—Love is War—victory is assured only through a commitment from both husband and wife, based on the vows made to each other and to God (Ecc. 4:9-12). Thus, should perplexities arise within the marriage, said vows should be meditated upon. Another factor in assuring victory is that each spouse must ultimately put their partner’s needs over their own, as this is the type of love Christ lived out for us (1 Cor. 7:3-5; Eph. 5:2). Finally, as part of maintaining harmony, husband and wife shall agree not to let the sun go down upon their anger, to calmly work out their differences in consort and to go to bed together in peace each night (Eph. 4:26).
Steven, will you have this woman to be your wedded wife, to live together after God’s ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Will you love her, comfort her, honour, and keep her, in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all other, reserve yourself only unto her, so long as you both shall live?
I do
(Then repeat after me)
In the name of God, I Steven do take you Heather, to my wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God’s holy ordinance. This is my solemn vow, I pledge thee my faith.
Heather, will you have this man to be your wedded husband, to live together after God’s ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Will you obey him and serve him, love, honour, and keep him, in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all other, reserve yourself only unto him, so long as you both shall live?
I do
(Then repeat after me)
In the name of God, I Heather do take you Steven, to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, cherish, and to obey, till death us do part, according to God’s holy ordinance; This is my solemn vow, I pledge thee my faith.
You will now exchange rings as a symbol of these vows. As you look upon these tokens of your commitment, remember the promises you’ve made, and never despair, for life’s challenges and joys are all part of His great plan. Lord, bless this union, in your light and infinite wisdom, today, tomorrow, and always. Amen.
(Repeat after me)
“I give you this ring as a symbol of my love, devotion, and vows; and with all that I am and all that I have, I honor and cherish you, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.”

The following is the contents of a wedding card I had penned for the occasion of my step brother’s Marriage:
Dear Nik and Ashley,
I want to congratulate you on having officially ‘tied the knot’. Marriage is a union instituted in the beginning by the God whom the Bible defines as “love” (Genesis 2:24; 1 John 4:16). Marriage is a portrait of the reunion of disgraced man with his God (Ephesians 5:21-33; Rev. 19:7-9), and the vows thereof represent the pinnacle of human experience and life’s meaning. Never forget that marriage is a commitment. I encourage you both to commit it to God (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12) and to reflect often on your vows. For in so doing, you shall ensure that the two of you shall rise together above all the perplexities which life inevitably engenders. Will be keeping you guys in prayer and am always here for you in any way that I can be.
One of God’s commandments is that we’re not to bear false witness; this mean’s that the opposite must likewise true, or in other words, God’s people have a duty to be informed and to give a truthful witnesses (Ex. 20:12; 2 Cor. 13:1). In the days of Jeremiah, God rebuked His people for not being Valiant for the Truth (Jer. 9:3). God also says His people are destroyed because lack of knowledge (Hos. 4:6), and Paul, that we’re not to be ignorant of satan’s devices or he will get an advantage on us (2 Cor. 2:11). Using scripture to interpret scripture, we discover this must to include machinations of governments or worldly powers (Lk. 4:5-6; 2 Cor. 4:4). And of course, Bible prophecy from Daniel, to Jeremiah, to Revelation does indeed describes the machinations of World kingdoms.
In Ezek. 33 God says, in the very context of Him “bringing the Sword on on the land” (using Governments/nations as a means of judgement upon His people for their sins, Deut. 32:41, Rom. 13:4), that He still yet expects His watchmen to warn the people of what’s coming (vv. 3-4), and that this warning ultimately comes from God Himself (v.7); and that if they don’t, God will require the people’s blood on the heads of the watchmen (v. 6). And Indeed, we see that in the days of Jeremiah, he named the invading army by name, detailed what they’d do to Jerusalem, why they were being used as the instruments of God’s Judgement, and how His people were to (and not to) respond (Jer. 2:8; 6:19; 27:8-9; 21:4-5). That the prophets give such a message beforehand is important inasmuch as, firstly, it establishes a true prophet of the one True God (who alone is outside of space and time, and knows all things), and secondly, because God’s judgements are to be attended with a message of repentance and salvation (Jer. 33:3-6). This is because God is a Good, Fair, Just, and merciful God. He doesn’t just punish in anger, or even just to exact vengeance. While diagnosing the disease and it’s symptoms, he also gives the Remedy that there may be healing and reconciliation. This same template can also be seen, for example, in Jonah’s preaching to Nineveh (Jon. 3:4-10).
God has ordained government as an institution, namely to the end of “punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well” (1 Pet. 2:14; see also Pro. 16:12). This means that although an oppressive government may be used by God, and may be allowed to continue on for a period of time (to the end that those in His Judgement that are being afflicted would call upon Him and be saved), if those governments are abusing their powers and engaging in evil, they are nonetheless outside of the will of God (even if He’s using them in judgement against a people), and this abuse of power will ultimately seal their doom if not repented of (Jer. 25:12; Jer. 51:44; Dan. 7:21-22).
And we see that in the Bible, God oftentimes uses His people to confront individuals in government (whether civil or religious) who’re abusing their God-ordained authority (2 Sam. 12:5-7; Is. 1:23; Mt. 14:3-5; Mt. 10:18-20; Acts 7:51-54; Matthew 23). This in principle, is actually the epitome of loving our neighbor as ourselves, for they being in greater power have greater responsibility, and will be judged accordingly (Rom. 2:6; Lk 12:48). In so doing, we not only defend the name, honor, and establish the legitimacy of government according to it’s God-ordained intended purpose, but also potentially save the souls of the individual’s who may hear our message, should they repent upon realizing they’re failures.
Thus exposing the evil done by individuals who’re abusing their position of power in government, is no more an attack on the God-ordained institution of government itself, and no more makes one “anti-government”, than would a Christian exposing and rebuking evil and hypocrisy being done in the name of Christianity make him anti-Christian or be an attack on Christianity itself.
And God’s Word establishes that like our master, part of Loving Good is to hate evil (Heb. 1:9; obviously that doesn’t mean to hate the individuals, just as Jesus hated the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, and not the Nicolaitans themselves, Rev. 2:6). And regarding those things done in darkness, the Bible says, “have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them“ (Eph 5:11). The underlying Greek reprove is G1651 elegchó, which means to “expose, bring to light, refute, rebuke, convict, show fault, call one to account”.
To begin, we must define our terms, because the meaning of words has changed over time.
Now we will only really focus on a couple of conspiracies here in particular that relate to the subject at hand, and the times in which we’re living; but to these two could be added: Gen 37:17-20; Ex 1:8-11; 2 Sam. 15:10-12; 2 King 12:20; 2 King. 15:10; 2 Kin. 21:23; 2 Ch. 25:27; Neh. 4:7-9; Ps. 2:1-2; Ps. 37:12; Ps. 83:3; Jer. 11:9; Ezek. 22:27; Dan. 3:8; Dan. 6:3-7; Mt. 26:4; Mt. 28:9-16; Mk. 3:6; Lk. 20:19-20; Jn 12:9-11; Acts 4:14-18; Acts 18:12; Acts 23:12-15; Acts 25:3 ;Gal. 2:4; Rev. 17:5-8, 13-14; and countless others more which I’ve omitted for brevity sake.
Example #1: In the time of Jesus, King Herod (part of the roman government), secretly plotted to kill the Messiah (Mt. 2:7, 13). Since no one was aware of Herod’s true intentions, not even the wisemen whom he sent to inquire where He should be born, God Himself warned His people and made this plot known unto them (Mt. 2:12-13).
Example #2: In the time of Esther a plot or “conspiracy” was made (and which the government was implicit in), that was hatched in particular to root out God’s Commandment keeping remnant (Est. 3:8-9, 12-13); knowledge of this conspiracy was publicly published abroad by God’s people (4:4, 7-8), and used as an impetus for repentance and fasting (4:3), and it was also declared that if those who knew about the conspiracy remained silent regarding it, though they were Queen Herself, they would ultimately perish with the rest of God’s people on account of this (4:13-14).
God expects his people to be grounded in what the Bible calls “present truth” (2 Peter. 1:12), or in other words the messages and duties which are particular to His people for that particular the time in which they’re living. Peter also commends unto us prophecy as being given especially to keep us from stumbling (2 Pet. 1:19). And in the book of Revelation (which it says Jesus personally gave John, v. 1), a blessing is pronounced upon those who “Hear” (G191 akouó, or “perceive, comprehend, understand, and to report” or “teach”) and “keep” their eyes fixed on those things (v. 3). Thus, for those living during that time, to not understand or to report those things is to, ipso facto, be cursed.
There’s a reason the Bible is approximately 1/3 prophecy. It’s not just there for page filler. God put it there for a purpose. The name of this most prophetic book of the Bible, which depicts events to take place until the end of time, “Revelation” or “The Revealing”, comes from the very first word of the very first verse, G602 apokalupsis (from where we get our word Apocalypse), which means “a disclosure of truth, instruction, concerning divine things before unknown; unveiling, manifestation, made visible to all”. Indeed, God’s Word goes on to state that the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy (Rev. 19:10; see also Am. 3:7; Acts 13:1; 15:32). Additionally, the apostle Paul stated he thought it was more important that the church understood prophecy than that they could speak in tongues (1 Cor. 14:5).
Revelation describes a great “whore” who in the endtimes would be controlling the kings of the earth (Rev. 17:1, 5, 18, 2), and God says that He Himself will make this whore naked, or in other words, expose what she’s been doing in secret (Nah. 3:1, 4-5, 11, 15-16; Hab. 3:14). And God calls His people to come out of this woman (or church Eph 5:22-23; 2 Cor. 11:2; Jer. 6:2; Is. 51:16), who’s reigning over the kings of the earth at that time, or they will be judged with her a partakers of her sins (Rev. 18:4). Thus, evidently, God expects her and her sins to be identified. Likewise, Revelation 14:4-9 describes the final messages to be preached to “every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people” as including #1) The Gospel #2) God’s imminent judgement, #3) the fall of this great Babylon “that great city” who “made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication”, and #4) what her “mark” is, and how to avoid it. Obviously the only way Babylon’s fall and how to avoid her mark (who’s recipients will be doomed, Rev. 14:9-10), is to first identify her.
Babylon, which means “confusion” (see Strong’s Exhaustive Definition for Babel, H894) is also given in the Bible as the definition of a woman lying carnally (or “fornicating”) with a beast (Lev. 18:23). A beast in prophecy represents a kingdom or a government (Dan. 7:23; and as we already established, a woman represents a church). Thus we see why in Revelation, this union between “Babylon” the “great whore” (Rev. 17:1, 5) and the “kings of the earth” (vv. 2, 18) is defined as an “abomination”, “drunkenness”, and “fornication” (vv. 2, 5) and for which she is about to be judged (v.1). You see, God is opposed to such a one world government, and implicated such a system as being used for evil, long ago when he separated the nations by creating a language barrier at the tower of Babel (Gen. 11:6-9; see also 1 Ch. 1:19, Acts 17:26). God Himself created the nations, and intends for them to be sovereign, governed by their own people, and not to be the mere tools of a false church (in fact the antichrist), who merely uses them for her own covetousness ends, and to persecute that great and perpetual rebuke to her, God’s true commandment keeping people.
And thus in turning back to Jeremiah, and seeing that God told His people they weren’t to physically fight against literal Babylon (Jer. 21:4-5), why we also find a seemingly contradictory message in Jer 51:1-2, 11-14, 25-27; 33-35, 4, etc. These passages are prophetic, and indicate that God’s people in the endtimes are to be spiritually fighting against Babylon (not physically, 2 Cor. 10:4).
We already touched upon the prophetic implication of the churches in the great endtime events, and now we will bring it all full circle. In Isaiah 8:12, the prophet warned God’s people who were about to be judged for their apostasy, against joining together in a confederacy (or in other words, “teaming up”) with other nations in attempt to overthrow their inevitable judgement by the King of Assyria (the context makes this plain, just read the verse in its context, vv. 7-10). And yet, one of the modern translation of the Bible, the NIV (which based on spurious manuscripts, and which omit’s altogether many verses containing central Christian tenets from the Bible, and corrupts many more), has rendered this verse in such a way as to dissuade people from investigating or being concerned with anything that may be considered conspiratorial, “Do not call conspiracy everything this people calls a conspiracy…” (none of the commentators interpret the passage that way). As it turns out, “coincidentally”, the NIV had the Jesuit Priest on the translation committee (namely Carlo Martini), which organization I’ve proven through my many articles, containing thousands of citations spanning hundreds of years, to be the chief architects of all the organized evil and abuse of government taking place in the world today.
Such renderings and beliefs have lead to “Christians” to write articles such as, “Beyond ‘Plandemic’: A Christian Response to Conspiracies“, which ultimately not only repudiate the Bible, but also encourage the abrogation personal Christian responsibility, and which will result in the great endtime deception going unbridled, and the personal injury/death of thousands if not millions of people, and ultimately their eternal doom (for more on how that’s so refer to my articles Covid-19: What you’re NOT being Told and Covid-19: Unmasking the Conspirators, and the Aims of their Design).
Everything that’s going on in the world today is ultimately prophetic in nature, and thus, can only truly be understood in light of Bible prophecy. And since such a worldview is anything but popular anymore, He who’s fulfilling Biblical duty, and proclaiming the actual truth, should be expected to be called nothing less than a “conspiracy theorist”, and should wear that appellation as a badge of honor, even as the early Christians did the appellation “Christian”, which was originally given to the followers of Jesus in a mocking way.

“Pope calls for new economic order, criticizes capitalism…urged the downtrodden to change the world economic order, denouncing a “new colonialism” by agencies that impose austerity programs and calling for the poor to have the “sacred rights” of labor, lodging and land.”–Pope Francis I, 2015
“…the way we’re going to win over the long term, is not just militarily, we’ve gotta win over hearts and minds, and what that means is we’ve gotta invest in countries that have no educational infrastructure, have no means for young people to get ahead, we’ve gotta give them a steak in giving them the kind of world order I think all of us would like to see”-Barrack Obama
“…an incentive for building a new world order based on just ethical and economic relationships…common consciousness of being a family…a united humanity will be able to confront the many troubling problems of the present time: from the menace of terrorism to the humiliating poverty in which millions of human being s live, from the proliferations of weapons, to the pandemics and the environmental destruction which threatens the future of our planet”-Pope Benedict the XVI, 2005
New York Times: Pope Benedict XVI Urges Forming New World Economic Order to Work for the ‘Common Good’, 7/7/2009
“We have before us the opportunity to forge for ourselves and for future generations a New World Order — a world where the rule of law, not the law of the jungle, governs the conduct of nations. When we are successful — and we will be — we have a real chance at this New World Order, an order in which a credible United Nations can use its peacekeeping role to fulfill the promise and vision of the U.N.’s founders.”–George H. W. Bush January 16th 1991, Announcing Invasion of Iraq, commencing the Gulf War (7:34-8:05)
“…and after 1989 president bush kept.. said, and it’s phrase I often use myself, that we needed a new world order“-Bill Clinton
“…If all men and women, whatever the differences between them, cling to the truth, with respect for the unique dignity of every human being, a new world order…can be achieved.”–Pope John Paul II, 1986
“So does the entire design of his New World Order… I have in my possession a secret map, made in germany by Hitler’s Government, by the planners of the New World Order“-Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1941
“…but it is a reminder of the fact that there are many walls still existing in the world which divide nations and peoples…we begin our talks recognizing that we have great differences. But we are determined that those differences not prevent us from living together in peace..It is not our common beliefs that have brought us together here, but our common interest, and our common hopes, the interests that each of us has to maintain our independence and the security of our peoples, and the hope that each of us has to build a new world order. In which nations and peoples with different systems and different values can live together in peace, respecting one another while disagreeing with one another, letting history rather than the battlefield be the judge of their different ideas.”–Richard Nixon
“The very word secrecy is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings…Even today, there is little value in ensuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it…the facts they deserve to know… I do ask every publisher, every editor, and every newsman in the nation to reexamine his own standards, and to recognize the nature of our nations peril…Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe. The survival of our friends is in danger. And yet no war has been declared, no borders have been crossed by marching troops, no missiles have been fired…no war ever posed a greater threat to our security. The danger has never been more clear and its presence has never been more imminent…For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy, which relies primary on covert means for expanding it’s sphere of influence. On infiltration instead of invasion. On subversion instead of elections. On intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific, and political operations…it is our obligation to inform and alert the American People, to make certain they possess all the facts that they need, and understand them as well…I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the people….for I have complete confidence in the response and dedication of our citizens whenever they are fully informed…Without debate, without criticism, no administration and no country can succeed–and no republic can survive….And that is why our press was protected by the first amendment. The only business in America specifically protected by the constitution-not primarily to amuse and entertain, not to emphasize the trivial and the sentimental…but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state our dangers and opportunities, to indicate our crises and our choices, to lead, mold, educate, and sometimes even anger public opinion…I’m Confident that with your help, man will be what he was born to be, free and independent.”-John F. Kennedy, 35th President of the United states, Speech before the American Newspaper Publishers Association, Waldorf Astoria, April 27, 1961
“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it. They know that America is not a place of which it can be said, as it used to be, that a man may choose his own calling and pursue it just as far as his abilities enable him to pursue it; because to-day, if he enters certain fields, there are organizations which will use means against him that will prevent his building up a business which they do not want to have built up; organizations that will see to it that the ground is cut from under him, and the markets shut against him.”-Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the United States, from the chapter, “The Old Order Changeth” of his book, The New Freedom, Pg. 24 (1961)
“Yet the individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists. The American mind simply has not come to a realization of the evil which has been introduced into our midst. It rejects even the assumption that human creatures could espouse a philosophy which must ultimately destroy all that is good and decent. The straight forward American cannot conceive of another citizen listing in the espionage service of a foreign country, or deliberately propagating discontent, hatred and disunity at the orders of an alien group. He cannot believe that any American would serve a philosophy which moves inexorably toward the goal of reducing the status of the individual to that of slave….Those men of the frontier knew that awareness of danger is the first requisite if one is to combat that danger with any degree of effectiveness. Until the American citizen learns for himself the nature of the present menace, [the conspirators] will continue to be a deadly danger. The conscientious citizen asks, “How can one be sure what the truth is? How can it be winnowed out of the welter of propaganda..” All that I can say is—and I repeat what I have said many times—the American citizen must hew to a line comprised of a little skepticism, a lot ofknowledge, monumental faith, and an everlasting desire to get the facts. He must ascertain for himself what the facts are. He must accept nothing less than the facts neither the majority version nor the minority version. He must view all the evidence until the face of truth is plain.”-J. Edgar Hoover, Co-founder and First Director of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (F.B.I.), Elks Magazine, August 1956, Pg. 48
“The twenty‐first century will be the era of World Controllers…The older dictators fell because they could never supply their subjects with enough bread, enough circuses, enough miracles and mysteries. Under a scientific dictatorship education will really work, with the result that most men and women will grow up to love their servitude and will never dream of revolution. There seems to be no good reason why a thoroughly scientific dictatorship should ever be overthrown”–Alodus Huxley (1894-1963, Author of the distopian novel Brave New World); Complete Essays: 1956-1963, and supplement, 1920-1948 (ed. 2002)
“We shall have world government, whether or not we like it. The question is only whether world government will be achieved by consent or by conquest”-American Banker and Advisor to FDR, James Paul Warburg, testimony to U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on 1950 Feb 17
“I mean, the TV and radio, Hitler was making enormous use of the radio, he could speak to millions of people simultaneously. This alone creates an enormous gulf between the modern and the ancient demagogue. The ancient demagogue could only appeal to as many people as his voice could reach by yelling at his utmost, but the modern demagogue could touch literally millions at a time, and of course by the multiplication of his image he can produce this kind of hallucinatory effect which is of enormous hypnotic and suggestive importance…But then there are the various other methods one can think of which, thank heaven, as yet have not be used, but which obviously could be used. There is for example, the pharmacological method…And here I think one has an enormous area in which the ultimate revolution could function very well indeed, an area in which a great deal of control could be used…Our business is to be aware of what is happening, and then to use our imagination to see what might happen, how this might be abused.”-Alodus Huxley, Speaking at the Berkeley Language Center, March 20, 1962
“We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order.”-David Rockefeller, American Banker, Statement to the United Nations Business Council, September 23, 1994
Roman Catholic Archbishop Robert Zollitsch calls for Globalist New World Order–July 7, 2009
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot calls for hiring of those who’ve pledged allegiance to the new world order only to government agencies-November 18, 2020
“Never before has a new world order had to be assembled from so many different perceptions, or on so global a scale. Nor has any previous order had to combine the attributes of the historical balance of power system, with global democratic opinion and the exploding technology of the contemporary period.”-John Kerry
“The world will soon come to us for its Sovereigns…and Pontiffs…We shall constitute the equilibrium of the universe and be rulers over the masters of the world…Such, my Brother, is the TRUE WORD of a Master Mason; such the true ROYAL SECRET, which makes possible, and shall at length make real, the HOLY EMPIRE of true Masonic Brotherhood”-Pg. 817, 861 Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonryby Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma (Pike is memorialized in Washington DC, only 3 blocks from the Capitol Building; he’s one of the founder’s of Scottish Rite Freemasonry, was a confederate general, a lawyer, and an author)
“and this present window of opportunity, during which a truly peaceful and interdependent world order might be built, will not be here open for two long.. already their are powerful forces at work that threaten to destroy all of our hopes and efforts to erect an enduring structure of global cooperation”.–David Rockefeler, American banker, former chairman and chief executive of Chase Manhattan, according to wikipedia, noted for “wide ranging political connections”
“Two centuries ago our forefathers brought forth a new nation; now we must join with others to bring forth a new world order. On this historic occasion it is proper that the American people should reaffirm those principles on which the United States of America was founded, acknowledge the new crises which confront them, accept the new obligations which history imposes upon them, and set for the causes which impel them to affirm before all peoples their commitment to a Declaration of Interdependence.”-The World Affairs Council of Philadelphia, 1975, “endorsed by 125 members of Congress the following January”
“The president elect is coming into office at a moment when there is upheaval in many parts of the world, simultaneously. There is India, Pakistan; you have the Jihadist movement..so he claims he’s accepted his one problem, that it’s the most important one, but he can give new impetus to American foreign policy, partly because the reception of him is so extraordinary around the world. I think his task will be to develop an overall strategy for America in this period, when really a new world order can be created, it’s a great opportunity, it isn’t just a crisis.”–Henry Kissinger (Former Secretary of State and National Security Advisor)
“Fifty years after the establishment of an international order intended to avert the repetition of a human catastrophe, the spectre of a new disaster on an unimagined scale requires of us the creation of a New World Order. In a changed international environment that was not foreseen in the middle of the century, the gap between the rich and the poor parts of the world is widening rather than narrowing. Central to the challenge we face as we enter the new millennium is the eradication of poverty and underdevelopment. The reshaping of the institutions of the existing order has become a matter of urgency if peace and a life of dignity are to become a reality for all.”-Nelson Mandela (Former President, South Africa, in speech delivered at 50th Anniversy of the World Council of Churches)

“Within 15 years we will have a proper government and administration of planet earth and of humanity. Why? Because the current troubles, injustices, wastes and colossal duplications of national expenditures – especially on armaments and the military – will force us to. It is inevitable. The salvation of this planet and survival of the human species depend on it. No one can for long go against evolution. Nation-states must adapt or they will disintegrate, even the biggest ones.”-Robert Muller, Former Assistant Secretary General to the UN
“the answer is this, accept the premise that faith is not in decline. It isn’t disappearing inevitably under the weight of scientific and technological progress. It is is still here with us, not just surviving, but thriving. In an era of globalization, of political interdependence, where the world is ever more swiftly opening up, and the cliche about a global community becomes an economic, political, often social reality. In this new world, how religious faith develops will have a profound impact. The forces shaping this world at this moment are so strong…”–Tony Blair (Former Prime Minister, United Kingdom)
The Associated Press Titled This excerpt, “Ahmadinejad Calls for a New World Order: the current abysmal situation of the world, and the bitter incidents of history, are due mainly to the wrong management of the world, and the self-proclaimed centers of powers, who have entrusted themselves to the devil..the order that’s rooted in the antihuman thoughts of slavery, and the old and new colonialism, are responsible for poverty, corruption, ignorance, and oppression, and discrimination in every corner of the world…currently we are now at a historic juncture. On the one hand marxism is no longer around, and as particularly, eliminated form the management systems. And on the other capitalism is bogged down in a self made quagmire, and it has indeed reached a deadlock, and does not seem to be able to come up with any noteworthy solution to the various economic, political, security, and cultural problems of the world. Now the line movement is proud to once again emphasize the rightfulness of its historical decision to reject the poles of power, and the unbridled Hegemony ruling the world… on behalf of the members of the non the line movement, i would like to invite all countries of the world, to play a more active role in making it possible in making it possible for everybody to contribute to the global decision making processes in the world.”-Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (Former President, Iran)

“…all these new challenges are bringing about the biggest restructuring we’ve ever seen, not just of the global economy, but of the global order as a whole. And two hundred years ago a famous British foreign secretary said that the new world had been called into existence to redress the balance of the old, in 1990, another old world ended, dominated by the cold world, and people talked then in 1990 of a New World Order. What they meant then was a new political order. And what was not foreseen then, but is obvious now, from everything that we see and do, what we experience every day of our life, is the sheer scale and speed and scope of globilization. And it is only now that we can begin to understand the world order that globilsation brings and what it is going to look like..it is driven forward now not just by the balance of military strengths..or ordinary political power. It is being Pushed forward by a seismic shift in economic power that we see around us. But what does the New World Order mean for countries like ours who are looking to succeed? I suggest that the countries that are going to succeed are those that combine flexibility, free trade, open markets, with proper stewardship of the environment and investment in education, infrastructure, and innovation…Therefore, in conclusion, ladies and gentlemen, a new world is emerging. It is a New World Order with significantly different and radically new challenges for the future.”–Gordon Brown (Former Prime Minster, United Kingdom)

“So we have to shape an international order that can meet the challenges of our generation. We will be steadfast in strengthening those old alliances that have served us so well, including those who will serve by your side in Afghanistan and around the globe. As influence extends to more countries and capitals, we also have to build new partnerships, and shape stronger international standards and institutions. This engagement is not an end in itself. The international order we seek is one that can resolve the challenges of our times –- countering violent extremism and insurgency; stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and securing nuclear materials; combating a changing climate and sustaining global growth; helping countries feed themselves and care for their sick; preventing conflict and healing wounds. If we are successful in these tasks, that will lessen conflicts around the world. It will be supportive of our efforts by our military to secure our country. More than anything else, though, our success will be claimed by who we are as a country. This is more important than ever, given the nature of the challenges that we face.”-Barrack Obama

Here are a several more quotes as relayed by William Cooper from his “The New World Order & Freemasonry” (Program #5, of his Mystery Babylon radio series). Their taken directly from the transcript of the radio program, so some have his words quoted with them to give further insight into the quote. This was done back in the early 90’s so as far as I know, he was reading them all from print. All of my research has proven William Cooper to be a reliable source, nonetheless, I saved these quotes for last since I don’t have access to the publications in order to definitely be able to verify. Nonetheless based on all of the prominent men we’ve been able to confirm having calling for a new world order in the section above, there’s no reason to seriously doubt the veracity of those that will follow:

“The new religion has a series of leaders. One is a woman named Alice Bailey, a prolific writer on the subject of the New Age. She was the founder of an organization called the Arcane School, one of the major Lucis Trust divisions. The Lucis Trust was a major publisher of books supporting the religion [William Cooper: and published a newsletter, or newspaper, called Lucifer]. In her book, entitled The Externalization of the Hierarchy, she told her readers who the organizations were that were going to bring the New Age religion to the world, and she identified them as being: ‘the three main channels through which the preparation for the New Age is going on might be regarded as the Church, the Masonic Fraternity, and the educational field.‘”
Henry Clausen, the past Sovereign Grand Commander (the equivalent of their President) of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, has been quoted as saying [this]: “We look towards a transforming into a New Age using, however, the insight and wisdom of the ancient mystics.”
God has Promised to Preserve His Word Forever (Ps. 12:6-7; etc.), and tells us that “all Scripture is given by inspiration of God“ (2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Jn. 1:10; etc.). One of the dangers of making an idol of an idea (or group of ideas), is that if they’re ultimately unbiblical (or otherwise based on a less than totally comprehensive survey of scripture) then we ipso facto (‘by that very fact, as an inevitable result‘) become hostile towards, and will ultimately end up attacking and denying God’s Word. This is why it’s so important to always be open to potentially being wrong, and corrected if necessary; and also why it’s so important to come to our conclusions on any given matter through truly reconciling scripture with scripture, which alone will result in a harmonious conception, that does not require us to generally avoid certain scriptures, decide for ourselves which scriptures “are” and “aren’t” inspired, etc.
Most of my readers will probably be familiar with the concept of the “Hegalian Dialectic”. It’s the idea that is essentially epitomized in the Founding Father’s of America warnings of a two-party political system. As Washington stated, “The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty…”.
Now obviously this is very much the situation today in America, where nearly the entire US has been cattle-ranched into identifying as either “a republican” or a “democrat” when these are, of course, not the only two political parties that exist; and especially, when neither party actually represents or uphold what’s supposed to be the basis of our government: i.e. the constitution. Neither have all the answers, both are right/wrong about certain issues, etc. Both parties generally hate each other, and both are in fact controlled by the same jesuit order, the enemies of the America, of Liberty in general, and of Christ; whose goal is to make the pope universal monarch of the world (i.e. case and point, Donald J. Trump: educated at Jesuit Fordham University; Joseph R. Biden: honorary degrees from Jesuit Scranton University and Jesuit St. Joseph’s University of Philadelphia; and both canidates having sent their children to Jesuit Univesities).
So relating these notions to our subject now, the implication is that humans tend toward ideologies (‘systems of ideas’) that represent extremes. And that this type of thinking results in a tyrannical spirit, of hatred towards those we deem “not in our camp”, and to the giving over of ourselves, our resources, and our power of reason, etc. to whoever or whatever it is, that teaches or represents that ideology we identify with, and have made our idol (2 Tim. 4:3). In other words it causes us to make a ‘pope’ of sorts for ourselves, or a ‘king’ like the ancient Israelites (1 Sam. 8:18-20), instead of “[He] whose right it is”, Ezek. 21:27). And men (and demons) will capitalize on this human frailty to drive us into one extreme or another, as this will ultimately serve their ends. As long as the Devil can railroad us into an ideology (i.e. one that’s in contradiction to the Bible; though it be in minutest and subtlest way), he wins, and The Truth and The Cause of Truth ultimately lose.
I think this notion is very relevant to the subject at hand, because generally speaking, it seems everybody ends up going “all in” for either Arianism or Trinitarianism, as if these were the only two possible Biblical interpretations (and obviously the same negative consequences pertaining to political parties, that the founding father’s warned about, would be equally true here as well). Is it possible that neither represent the Biblically relayed conception of the Godhead? Is it possible we’re guilty of having ‘hung our hat’ on that one cardinal point we identify with, that we merely perceived to be true from a handful of scriptures, accepting the whole dogma-package as true, without a critical and honest examination of the conception as a whole against scripture, by the which perhaps we’d realize that none of the wholesale pre-packaged dogmas are ultimately unbiblical? It’s kind of like being stuck in a ‘pepsi vs. coke’ mentality when we should really be drinking something healthy and real, like say, orange juice.
So, in any case, the object of this study will be to try and come to a balanced, Biblically sound understanding of the Godhead (and yes, just to be clear,that is a Biblical term; Acts 17:29; Rom. 1:20; and Col. 2:9). We’ll start by examining the claims of the two most popular concepts, Arianism and Trinitarianism.
Today there are a growing number of God’s people who’ve realized that the doctrine of the trinity, at the very least, shares a commonality with paganism. So to begin, I think it’s important that we define the term “trinity”. As most of my readers will understand, the Papacy is the antichrist, and represents the seat of the modern day Mystery Babylonian pagan religions (Rev. 17:5). And thus, since she epitomizes everything that we generally want avoid, and also seeing as she asserts that the trinity is “the central doctrine of the [catholic] religion”, we shall use her definition of “the trinity”. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, the trinity is defined as “in the unity of the Godhead there are Three Persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, these Three Persons being truly distinct one from another.“ So right off the bat we can see why Christians are raising an eyebrow, and many ultimately rejecting this doctrine, as it reeks of polytheism. The Bible says very plainly “The Lord our God is one Lord“ (Deut. 6:4; Mk. 12:29, but more on “The Shema” later!).
So, next we shall proceed to see how Arianism is just as unbiblical as Trinitarianism. We’re not going to waste much time with Unitarianism, other than to mention it, since it denies the deity of Christ altogether (most of my readers, I’m sure, wouldn’t altogether deny the deity of Christ, but if you’re someone who does, or who’s unsure, those scriptures will be covered in the following section on Arianism, and elaborated on throughout the rest of this discourse). Nor will be covering Binitarianism since it, like the trinity, it asserts that there are multiple persons in the Godhead (neither of these positions are very common among Bible Believers anyways).
Now, in passing, I think it’s important to point out to my SDA friends who identify as “Arians”, that it’s actually not possible to be anything other than a “trinitarian” if you deem E.G. White’s writings as inspired, since she referred to “the trinity” on several occasions in her writings, for a compilation of these statements, refer to this document (especially Pg. 23). Aditionally she made several statements affirming the eternality of Christ, such as in 1 SM 247.4 and 10LtMs, Lt 119, 1895, Par. 12-13, etc. (making it impossible to be an arian if you believe her writings are inspired). To argue her writings have been altered, or otherwise contain error is ultimately to inadvertently concede that her writings are in fact not inspired, or they’d be preserved, just like God’s Inspired Word, the Holy Bible. (And for the record, her writings have in fact been altered, as documented in this article).
Arianism Proven to be Just as Unbiblical
Now, an opposite extreme of the trinity doctrine, which states there are “three gods”, would be to deny the deity of Christ altogether. That said, most of my readers who reject trinity doctrine, and that may identify as arians, probably do not altogether deny the deity of Christ (at least not consciously or deliberately). But that is nonetheless the traditional definition of Arianism (named after Arius, the 4th century “church father” of Alexandria). But they ultimately end up doing so in an extremely subtle way, by holding that Christ did not eternally exist, or that he was created. Now, the reason why traditional Arianism, while also holding this tenet of faith, went beyond it, totally denying the divinity of Christ, is because they were sensible enough to realize that it would be logically inconsistent to hold the one view but not the other (as we shall next proceed to demonstrate). But first, a fascinating side note, it turns out the greek word that Arius used as this basis of his conception of the Godhead, “anomoios” meaning “unlike”, is practically identical to the word “anomois” (Strong’s G459) which means “lawless”or “rebellious”!
Ok, so let’s reason through this together here… According to the dictionary, the definition of deity is “the rank or essential nature of…God…DIVINITY“. So to begin we see “God”, “Deity”, and “Divinity” are synonymous terms. They all mean the same thing. And they refer to both to “essential nature” and “rank” (and by definition they must, or these concepts would lose their inherit meaning, for what separates God from man, for instance, but the difference betwixt us and Him in rank/nature?). So, these words are interchangeable, and also therefore, it’s not possible that one could be one, but not the others. For example, one cannot be “divine” and yet not be “god”; or be “god” but not possess “deity”; Posess “deity” but not be “divine”; etc.
That makes sense, right?
Now obviously we know that God (i.e. the “un-caused first cause”, or “the self existing one”) could not have been created. And of course, we also know that God is The Creator (Gen. 1:1); So in other words, since the self-existing God cannot be created, and God is The Creator, it follows that The Creator could not have been created (again, makes sense, right?).
And so, bearing that in mind, since John 1:1, 14, 10 informs us that “…the Word was God… And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…the only begotten of the Father [so obviously referring to Jesus]…He was in the world, and the world was made by him” and so likewise in Colossians 1:16, “For by him were all things created…“, the only possible, sane and reasonable conclusion, is that Jesus is both God and the Creator, and thus, as we’ve already deduced, could not have been created.
Indeed, since the Bible says that God is eternal, and Jesus The Word of God (Jn 1:1, 14; or in other words the very mind of God; making up His very being, even as our thoughts are inseparable from our nature, personality, character, and even our physiology), then Jesus too must be eternal. I mean just think, it’s even true of us mortals that our words have eternal bearing (see Mt. 12:37; 2 Cor. 2:15-17, etc.)
Now we just quoted John, who told us somewhat indirectly that Jesus was God, but lets bring up a couple of the more direct statements found in the Bible, just to firmly establish this point, “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh…But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever…Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God…the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.“ (Jn. 1:1, 14; 1 Tim. 3:16; Heb. 1:8; Phil. 2:5-6; Acts 20:28; etc.) Additionally, the Bible tells us over and over again that Jesus was worshiped (Mt. 2:11; Mt. 8:2; Mt. 9:18; Mt. 14:33; Mt. 15:25; Mt. 20:20; Mt. 28:17; etc). And we know that even Jesus Himself said only God is to be worshiped, (Lk. 4:8). Now, it’s come to my attention there are certain deceivers out their asserting that the underlying greek, Strong’s G4352, “proskuneō”, only means to “give homage” or “respect”, and not literally to “worship” (in spite of having been translated “worship” 49 times, and never having been translated as any other word, not even a single time). But this argument too is ultimately built on sand, for if that were true, then the rebukes of Acts 10:25-26, Rev. 19:10, and of Rev. 22:8-9 would not make any sense. And by the way, Jesus also forgave sins (Mt. 9:2; Lk. 7:48), another act the Bible reserves for God (Ps. 130:4). So we see that according to the Bible, Jesus is God. And since God is described in the Bible as being eternal (Deut. 33:27; 1 Tim. 1:17), then once again, ipso facto Jesus had to be eternal, or he wasn’t God.
Now, while I’m no apologist for polytheists who’d turn the “One” True God of Scripture into a multitude; to deny the deity of Christ is perhaps even more dangerous than to be confused into thinking that; since the Bible mentions the Holy Spirit, the Son, and the Father; there must be 3 in the Godhead, somehow. For if Christ was not divine, then was just a man (since we know he wasn’t an angel, Heb. 1:5-6, 8); and if he was just another man, that means he was a sinner like other men; and if he was a sinner, then he could not have taken the punishment we deserved for our sins, onto himself (for he too would have the same eternal death sentence already abiding upon Himself, Rom. 6:23); and there goes the entire Christian concept of salvation, and we are yet in our sins.
Ok so, so far we’ve established the case by approaching certain plain and fundamental assertions of scripture with common sense and logical deduction. But for nonetheless, for those who don’t trust in God given Reason (Is. 1:18), God in His wisdom and mercy has yet provided in His Word several explicitly plain scriptures to infallibly establish that if we truly believe the Bible, we cannot deny the eternality of Christ, and which we shall now proceed to analyze.
The First text we shall examine regards Mic. 5:2. Now we know this is Messianic verse because it’s quoted as such in the new testament (Mt. 2:1-6). And so what does it say of “He that’d come forth out of Bethlehem to be ruler in Israel“ (Mic. 5:2), that His “goings forth have been from everlasting.“ Now since we already proved from scripture that it’s impossible to come to the conclusion that Jesus was created, it should be out of the question that the “goings forth” here could refer to some alleged point at which He was supposedly created or otherwise have come into being. But nonetheless I’m personally aware of some who, with the most jesuitical cunning and craft, would try and maintain that although it’s true He wasn’t “created”, He was “begotten” or “brought forth” from YHVH, “at some point before creation”. Now of course, both the word “begotten” and the phrase “brought forth” do appear in scripture. But as I will now prove, to use them in such a sense is ultimately disingenuous (more as it regards the establishing of aproper interpretation of Mic. 5:2 after this digression).
The phrase “brought forth” appears once, in Pro. 8:24, and if we consult underlying Hebrew, we discover it was actually translated “pain” more times than it was translated any other word. We also discover it has a very broad and fascinating set of meanings, from “greatness” to “to suffer”, “be in sorrow”, “to be grieved”, “to tarry, wait patiently, carefully, longingly, or even anxiously“, “to trust”, “to hope”, “to look”, “to rest”, “to dance”, “twist”, “twirl“, etc. Of course, nearly all of these other possible renderings would correlate to other scriptures, and thus make them potentially valid translations. But for argument’s sake, even though no other time was the underlying hebrew translated in such a way as to indicate a point of origin, lets grant that “brought forth” is fact the correct translation, and that it does indeed refer to some sort of a “point of origin”. Since we already proved it’s impossible that it could be referring to the “creation of The Creator”, wouldn’t it be more logical to apply this phrase to the time at which he’d eventually be brought forth into the world as a man? In other words, in the exact same way the Bible tells us that Jesus was crucified even before the world was (Rev. 13:8)? Especially seeing as context of this verse itself specifically regards the Child to be born of Bethlehem?
Now as far as trying to argue Christ was not “created” but “Begotten” sometime before creation, the underlying Greek of “Begotten” is “monogenés” (Strong’s G3439). It’s a combination of the following two greek words: “monos” (G3441) meaning “Alone”, “Only”, or “merely”, and “ginomai” (G1096) meaning “to transition from one point (realm, condition) to another”, “to come”, “to appear”, etc. Again, one thing it definitely never means is “didn’t exist before” or “existed before creation, just not for all eternity”. In fact, another interesting aside, in Acts 13:33 the Apostle Paul Applies the word “begoten” to Christ’s resurrection rather than to His birth.
So the bottom line is, in either case, both of these sophisms are nearly identical to the type of irrational and faulty arguments traditional protestants make, like for example, when they say the law was done away with because “Jesus fulfilled it” (they essentially render “fulfill” to mean “destroy”, the very thing Jesus said He did not come to do, and in the very context of the statment they’re wresting , Mt. 5:17-19). To use “begotten” or “brought forth” in place of “created” to assert that Christ did not exist eternally is basically nothing more than deception through the use of an euphemism. These words, again, are ultimately synonyms, that although sounding better (and thus more plausible), are ultimately being used to assert the exact same thing, and thus still causes insurmountable contradictions with the rest of the Bible.
So returning to Mic. 5:2, to further prove this “goings forth” does not equal “created”, the first thing to note is, at it’s very onset, such an interpretation would render the verse a contradictory oxymoronic statement, “who was created (…when?…) everlasting“. How can one be “created” (an event which by its very definition occurs once at a singular point in time) when the connected adjective is “everlasting”, which by its very definition includes all of time; past, present, and future? Additionally if one consults the underlying Hebrew, they will also see that, just as it’s rendered in the King James Translation, the phrase “goings forth” is indeed plural (wait, so, He not only came into existence back in everlasting, but multiple times?). The underlying hebrew also reveals that the participle of this “goings forth” (have been”, as it appears in the KJV) actually has no basis in the Hebrew at all (in other words this phrase was supplied by the translators, which is why it appears in italics). And thus it could have just as well have been translated “His goings forth are from everlasting” or “His goings forth will be from everlasting“, i.e. Rev. 1:8.. Since the Bible says Jesus is God, and is presently mediating on our behalf in heaven (i.e. “the God who is”), and since we know it’s Jesus is coming again (Jn. 14:3; Mt. 24:3, i.e. “the God who is to come”); its preposterous to maintain He’s not also “the God who was” i.e. the God who existed eternally, or to altogether maintain that Rev. 1:8 does not refer to Him.
Very simply then, the meaning of Mic. 5:2 must be, that though Messiah was to be born in Bethlehem, this would not be his actual beginning of days (as conception would be for an ordinary human being), but this “One to Come” would in actual fact have “originated from” or “come from” everlasting. In other words, all it’s saying, is that He was of Divine Origin, or that He would in fact be, God, manifest in the flesh (1 Tim. 3:16)!
For the next testimony in scripture, we turn to the record of a discourse between Jesus and the Pharisees, regarding Jesus’ age. Jesus told them that “Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad“. The Jews, understanding the implications of this plain statement, responded, “Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?“ And Jesus, rather than saying, “no, that’s not what I meant, I didn’t mean He literally saw me, obviously I wasn’t around way back then”, responded, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM“ (Jn. 8:56-58). Now, obviously at the very least here Jesus was identifying Himself with the “I AM”, “the existing One”, “YHVH” (Strong’s H3068), that revealed himself from the burning bush to Moses (Ex. 3:14). But the implications of Christ’s statement have to be much more than merely claiming He only came in YHVH’s name, or was only His representative authority; He has to have been literally claiming to be the “I AM” of the Exodus; for not only does the very context of the conversation prove this (He was responding to a question regarding His age), but also because His specific response. Notice He says, “Before Abraham Was…“ . It’s not insignificant that He goes beyond the Bible’s contextual revelation of the name “I AM” (i.e. the book of Exodus; Abraham having existed some 600 years or so before then). And you see, the Jews Christ was dealing with here may have hardened their hearts against their own Messiah; they may have been in all sorts of sin, and compromise with babylonian religious precepts they had amalgamated into their religion; but they at least had enough common sense and reasoning abilities to understand the ramifications of His statement, which is why in the very next verse (v. 59) it states, “Then took they up stones to cast at him“, which was the punishment for blasphemy (Lev. 24:16).
And this interpretation of Christ’s Words only makes sense, for though the Bible tells us “no man can see [God] and live“ (Ex. 33:20) yet also asserts that “God called unto [moses] out of the midst of the bush…YHVH said…“ (Ex. 3:4, 7). And we find similar such cases again and again, for instance in Joshua 5 when “captain of the host of YHVH“ appears to Joshua, and he “fell on his face to the earth, and did worship“, and this Captain states “Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy“, indicating that it was the same “YHVH” that spoke from the burning bush to Moses (compare to Ex. 3:5). Or in Gen. 18:1 where it says “YHVH” appeared to Abraham. So again, since we know that no man can see YHVH and live, and since Jesus claimed to be YHVH, we know it must have been the same “Son of God” that Daniel saw (Dan. 3:25), who when on earth, was likewise able to be looked upon without dying. Although it’s somewhat incomprehensible, the Biblical implications are plain, the two have to be one in the Same. YHVH = Jesus.
This is actually the only possible conclusion, and is confirmed again and again, for example, with scriptures such as 1 Cor. 10:4 that tell us it was Christ that “accompanied, or “went with” the Israelites in the exodus. Or consider how scripture tells us that we’re created in God’s “image” or Strong’s H6754 “Tselem” meaning “resemblance”, or “…figure”. Since Jn. 4:24 informs us that YHVH is a “spirit” or Strong’s G4151 “pneuma”, or “essence, devoid of all…matter”, “movement of air/wind/breath“, etc. we must ultimately conclude that we’re made in the image of Jesus Christ, who, as we just scripturally confirmed, is indeed YHVH.
The final Exhibit we shall examine here is contained in the epistle to the Hebrews. In chapter 7, the apostle is seeking to demonstrate from scripture that their must come a superior priesthood than that of the levitical order. One of the arguments he makes regarding the “Son of God“ (v. 3) is that just as Melchizedek was the “King of righteousness, and…King of peace“ (v. 2), so to he must be, “Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life“ (Heb. 7:3). So there we have it. That’s irrefutably plain, and literally corresponds to dictionary definition of eternal, “without beginning or end; lasting forever; always existing”. To say He was not eternal would be by implication to say that he had “beginning of days”, which by implication means He was created, since to be “created is defined as “to [be brought] into existence”, and as soon as we declare Him to not have been eternal, we ipso facto declare him to be a finite being, and thus relegate him having come into existence at some point in space and time. Only the eternal is not created, and only the eternal is outside of space and time.
As the old puritans taught (which, again, to my SDA readers, to an extreme extent represent the origins of the original seventh day adventist thought and theology, see The English Connection by Bryan W. Ball, 1981, a Sevnth Day Adventist author, and from whose book I came across the following quotes):
“God Cannot make a creature equal to Himself, nor beget a Son unequal to Himself“-Christ’s External Existence, and the Dignity of His Person, Pg. 31, by Thomas Manton, 1685
“God has many sons by creation and adoption, but only one by eternal and incomprehensible generation… One in essence with the Father, co-existing with Him from eternity…who became true man and did take on our nature with all the essential properties thereof, and all the common infirmities thereof, yet without sin” -An Exposition of the Gospel of Jesus According to John, pgs. 12, 8 by George Hutcheson, 1657
So, in closing this section, although it would be true to say Jesus didn’t exist eternally as “Son of Man” (i.e. “in the likeness of sinful flesh”, Rom. 8:3 ), according to the Bible, He had to of as “Son of God” (And thus it would be equally as erroneous to assert that, for instance in Col. 1:15 when it says Christ was “firstborn of every creature” that it means He was created, when this is common phraseology of the Bible, employed to signify Title, Status, Inheritance, Primacy, etc. (see Num. 3:13; Ex. 13:2; Gen. 43:33; etc.).
So now that we’ve debunked the standard ‘pre-packaged’ positions, before we further delve into seeking to better understand the Godhead according to the Bible, I need to make a little disclaimer here. In spite of some who may claim to have perfect knowledge and understanding on these matters, and who’d rebuke those who’d assert that there is at least an element pertaining to the question of the nature of the Godhead which is inconceivable to mankind, the Inspired Word of God infallibly declares, “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh…” (1 Tim. 3:16; see also Col. 2:2; Col. 1:27; 1 Tim. 3:9; Eph. 5:32; Eph. 3:3, 9; 1 Cor. 2:7; Rom. 16:25; Mk. 4:11; etc.). The bottom line is just as we cannot fathom ‘what God did before creation, for all of eternity’, ‘where God came from’, how it could be He always ‘was’, ‘how physical matter could be created from nothing’, etc. there are naturally also going to be things that we can’t fathom as it regards the nature of the Godhead. And so, while God is most definitely logical (Is. 1:18); just as he is above the laws of physics (for instance making the sun not set for a whole day, and even to go backwards in it’s course, Josh. 10:12-14; Is. 38:7-8, etc.), He must also be beyond the laws of logic (like for instance, God becoming a man and suffering; which is definitely not logical, 1 Cor. 1:22-23). He’s certainly not confined to Be or act according our understanding. And so invariably there is going to be some what a gulf which separates the Divine from fallen, fallible, and finite, mankind; at least until this corruption puts on incorruption, and this mortal immortality (1 Cor. 15:53). Until then, the honest and diligent will ultimately concede, with the Inspired apostle, “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.“ (1 Cor. 3:12; and so to those that mock trinitarians for saying there’s a mysterious element of their dogma that must be embraced by faith; while at the same time essentially asserting that the “creator was creator”, that’s rather ironic, and to be frank, hypocritical). Therefore, dear reader, please bear in mind, that there is invariably going to be a gap in the understanding that I will likely never be able to bridge in this discourse (and as we see, any author who says it’s not at least somewhat a mystery, is implicated by the Word of God to be a liar). This exposition may in fact leave you with more questions than answers. But what I can assure you, is that every assertion I make will ultimately have been arrived at by, and accompanied by scripture.
Ok, so, since we’ve proven that according to the Bible: Jesus is God, the Creator, and eternally existed, next lets consider the identity or role of the Holy Spirit (just a note, it’s the same underlying greek whether rendered “holy ghost” or “holy spirit”).
Now, right from the onset, since we know that God is a spirit (Jn. 4:24), and that he’s also Holy (Lev. 19:2) it only makes sense that God is the Holy Spirit, right? But let’s just see if we can confirm that any other way from the Bible. One way in which we could establish it, is through the instance recorded in scripture where Ananias and Sapphira lied about how much they were going to Give to God. Peter equates the Holy Spirit to God by first stating in Acts 5:3 that they lied to the “Holy Ghost”, but then stating in Verse 4 it was “unto God.” For a third witness, we see in Gen. 1:2 during the account of creation, that it was done by the “Spirit of God”. So is this in fact God? or just His spirit? are they one in the same? They have to be one in the same because in Gen.1:1 it says “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth”. For a final testimony, the Bible declares that God rose Jesus from the dead (Acts 2:24), but then it says he was raised by the Holy Spirit (Rom. 1:4; 8:11; see also 1 Kin. 19:11-12; Zech. 4:6 ).
But, so, since the Bible also says that Jesus rose Himself from the dead (Jn. 1:17-18), and since it says both “Jesus” and “God” created the world (as we’ve already covered), wouldn’t that mean that they too are one in the same? Well since we know that Jesus was evidently conceived by the uniting of the holy spirit with mankind (Mt. 1:18; Lk. 1:35), it would certainly seem that must be the case. But again, just to be sure, let’s see if we can confirm this some other way, so we know we’re not wresting the scriptures. For one thing, Jesus told us he’d be with us “always, even unto the end of the world”, right (Mt. 28:20)? Now we know He’s not physically with us, so could it be that it’s by His Spirit, i.e. the Holy Spirit that He is with us? Let’s see, “Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit….That Christ may dwell in your hearts… the glory of this mystery...which is Christ in you, the hope of glory“ (1 Jn. 4:13; Eph. 3:17; Col. 1:27). Ok so there it is, Jesus is the Holy spirit (and thus to deny the eternality of Christ would ultimately be to deny the eternality of the Holy spirit, which would then be a denial of God’s eternality…do you see how to deny the eternality of any of these is simulstaneously deny the eternality of others?).
Okay, so let’s review what we’ve established so far:
So hopefully as we’ve come full circle, it’s clear that “The Lord our God is one Lord” (Deut. 6:4). There is a perfect oneness in the Godhead, not three God’s; “in [Christ] dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.“ (Col. 2:9).
But, for better or worse… that’s not the end of the matter… There are still a couple things we need to consider, elaborate on, and even some common objections or seeming perplexities that must be answered, which, that which we’ve established so far, is inevitably going to cause for some.
This is actually kind of a loaded question, as it really depends how one defines a “person”. I don’t mean to sound like a lawyer here; but it’s really true. There is the Bible’s definition of “person”, the common usage meaning of the word, and then the legal definition; all of which mean something entirely different.
Get ready for this, the legal definition of “person” includes not only “corporations” but also “municipalities, public works companies, and voluntary associations (collegia) such as the early Catholic Church“. Ok, so, I’m sure we’ll all agree there are none of any of those in the Godhead!
How about as defined according to the common usage of the term? The No. 1 definition according to the webster’s dictionary is a “human being” followed by, interestingly enough, a “character in a play”. Now obviously the second definition doesn’t apply, but even the first, which I believe most accurately reflects the common usage of the word “person”, isn’t technically accurate. Did God become man? Yes. But does that mean there’s a “human being” in the Godhead? No, rather, according to the Bible, the Godhead was in the human (Jesus, son of Mary, Col. 2:9).
Now as for the Biblical definition, the underlying Hebrew of “person” is Strong’s H5315 “Nephesh”. It’s the same word that’s translated “soul” 475 times, but is also translated words such as “creature” (9 times), “body” (8 times), “man” (3 times), and a whole host of other random words such as “fish”, “beast”, “lust”, “jeapordy”, “dead”, “deadly”, etc. (obviously, none of which are applicable to the Godhead). However, we do find that this word is also translated to words which could correlate to characteristics of God, such as “life” (117 times), and “mind” (15 times). So bearing that in mind, and since it says that adam became a living “soul” or living “Nephesh” (i.e. when God breathed into his lungs made of the dust of earth), in the final analysis, I would argue, that it’s technically not correct to say there are any “persons” in the Godhead, but rather that the Godhead is the Source of “personhood”, and that he imparted certain such characteristics of Himself to man when He made man in His image. So while Heb. 1:3 does tell us that Jesus is “the express image of [the Father’s] person…the brightness of his glory“ , the underlying greek for “Person” is Strong’s G5287 Hupostasis and actually means “substance” (5 times; was only translated person this one instance), “real being”, “the substantial quality, nature, of a person or thing” “essence”. , etc.
And so, also, “personality” being defined according to common usage as “the various aspects of a person’s character”, to say that Jesus was “God in nature” but not in “personality” (as I heard one person do) is silly (especially when, as we’ve established, Jesus was YHVH).
One of the most common ‘go to’ method’s employed by groups such as the Jehovah’s Witnesses, Muslims, or others who want to assert that Jesus was in no way divine, is to quote scriptures that indicate a Father/Son relationship, for instance Jesus praying to the Father (Jn. 17:11); asserting He came to glorify the Father (Jn. 17:1, 4) to do the Will of the Father (Jn. 6:38); etc. But as we’ve already proven; there are too many plain scriptural assertions of Christ’s divinity to maintain as much. But rather ironically, this is the same recourse of argument used by folks to attempt to assert the “partial” divinity of Christ (i.e. to try and make the case Jesus couldn’t have eternally existed, which as we already proven, is to ultimately deny His deity, since God is defined as Eternal, etc.). This, again, is where we must reconcile scripture with scripture to come to a balanced and sound conclusion, and not go to the one extreme of denying a Father/Son relationship, and the hierarchical relationship which is certainly elucidated and evident in scripture (1 Cor. 15:23-28); nor the other extreme of using this relationship Jesus had as a man with His Father to assert Jesus couldn’t have ever have eternally existed.
So how may we reconcile this strange paradox? Well, for one, common sense would dictate that the Lord Jesus Christ, becoming the “second adam“ (1 Cor. 15:45-47), born “in the likeness of sinful flesh“ (Rom. 8:3) would result in some sort of such a hierarchy/relationship, or however you want to refer to it. Especially when the scriptures tell us, “it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren…we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.“ (Heb. 2:17; Heb. 4:15), and that He came to serve as an example as how we’re supposed to relate to God and our fellow man (1 Pet. 2:21; 1 Cor. 11:1; 1 Jn. 2:6; etc). Now how could we imitate Him and use Him as a prototype to understand a healthy relationship with our heavenly Father, if such a distinction/relationship did not exist and was not manifest? This is reflected in the fact that Jesus’ favorite title to refer to Himself as, was, the “Son of Man” (78 times compared to “Son of God”, 47 times). The God of Compassion and Mercy wanted to be sure to wholly identify with (and to be able to be related to by) fallen man, who was created in His image; and thus He became fully man (he also had to become fully man to be able to make substituionary atonement). Thus it was that his humanity, his humility, his servanthood, etc. is often emphasized in scripture as it regards His sojourn here on earth. Were that not the case, it would not be a true testimony, for it would rob Christ of His humanity, from the Price He paid, and the suffering He endured, and thus His Greatness (and therefore shall we ever relate to Him, 1 Cor. 15:28).
But again, does this mean Jesus is not God? It cannot, for we have already covered the innumerable scriptural witnesses which make this impossible. Returning to (Heb. 1:3), we read that Jesus is “the express image of [the Father’s] person…the brightness of his glory” (Heb. 1:3). As we already covered, the underlying greek here signifies the actual “essence”, “real being”, “the substantial quality, nature, of a person or thing”, etc. But this passage written to the “Hebrews”; i.e. Jews who knew Torah; signifies even more. It’s literally a reference to the same “glory“, the “shekinah” or “presence of God” that gave the Law at Sinai (Ex. 24:16) and that abode in The Most Holy Place of the Sanctuary (Ex. 40:34; for more on this notion see also Benson, Ellicot, Gilbert, Pg. 338, 367, 370, 409, 413, etc.). And we know this is not mere conjecture, for the Lord Jesus Christ personally affirmed the same (Jn. 17:5).
Think about it; as we’ve by now firmly established, the Bible says Jesus is God; and of course, we typically define God as being “omnipresent“, “omnipotent“, and “omniscient“. But we know that Jesus had to “learn” as a man (Heb. 5:8), that He was weak like we are (Heb. 4:15), and that while He remained on earth His presence was confined to His bodily presence (Jn. 16:7-8). But he was still God (manifest in the likeness of sinful flesh)!
And so thus, when we read statements such as, “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.“ (2 Pet. 1:2) we only need bear such things in mind to properly understand it. Such texts, rather than signifying a disunity, rather establish one. For how could Jesus be called “Lord” and how could “knowledge of” impart to us “Grace” or “Peace” if He was just a man? On the contrary, this verse is evidently equating “God” to “Jesus or Lord” by relating them to each other in such a way in the same sentence. The same would be true then of, say, 1 Jn. 5:20 where we read “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“. Since “Jesus Christ” is the last subject mentioned, then the statement that follows it must be being applied to Him (the same way it’s much more directly done in Titus 2:13; Acts 20:28).
Is. 9:6 states plainly of “[the] child [to be] born…[the] son“ that He would be called “The everlasting Father“, and since names in the Bible represent something literally true of the individual, (for Instance “Esau” because he was “Hairy”, (Gen. 25:25) “Israel” because he “wrestled with God” (Gen. 32:28), etc. and since Is. 9:6 also gives Him the titles “God…Wonderful, Counsellor…The Prince of Peace“ we’d have to throw out scriptures such as 1 Tim. 3:16; Phil. 2:6; Heb 7:2-3, Mt. 21:15; Rom. 11:34; Lk. 1:33; etc. in order to also deny that He’s literally the “God”, “prince of peace”, “wonderful”, our”counsellor”, that the “government shall be upon his shoulder”, etc. should we attempt to argue that he’s not also “the everlasting Father”, or that these titles merely represent the authority of the Father in whose name He came, but weren’t literally true of Himself (which we we already repudiated above in our analysis of Heb. 1:3). We’d also then, if we were going to be consistent, have to cross out Jn. 1:1, 14 and Phil. 3:20 from our Bibles, and likewise maintain, that though His name was “Yeshua” and “Emmanuel” He wasn’t literally our “savior” or “God with us” (Mt. 1:23). For an elaboration on the significance of names in the Bible as it refers to the Messianic title “Everlasting Father”, see also the various Bible commentaries on Is. 9:6.
Here’s a rhetorical question which perhaps may shed some light on this dynamic of the Godhead, do you ever talk to yourself? Does that make you multiple people?
As we’ve already covered, the Bible says of Christ, that in Him “dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily“ (Col. 2:9). So, on the one hand, of course, we can understand this verse to mean that the Holy Spirit is the fullness of the Godhead, which “tabernacled” or “dwelt” in the man Jesus Christ (even as He/Holy Spirit does us, who’re the “Temple of the Holy Ghost”). But there must yet be a unique way in which this is true Him, being the Son of God, that’s not also true of us. As we’ve already covered, the Bible tells us that Jesus, as a man, was born of a woman by the Holy Ghost. As it turns out, through the technological advancements in science with which God has blessed mankind (such as the microscope, and the study of the human genome), we now know that in order for an ordinary conception to occur, half of the chromosomes that will make up the DNA of that child must come from the mother, and the other half from the Father. And the only way the child will be male is through a ‘Y’ chromosome, which the father alone possesses to potentially pass down (otherwise it will be a female). Therefore it is evident just from the circumstances surrounding His birth alone, that Jesus must have been more than a mere man, for He had no Father from which to get half of his Chromosomes, let alone the ‘Y’ male gender determinanthe needed. Therefore this must’ve come from His Heavenly Father via the Holy Ghost (the discoveries of the Archaeologist Ron Wyatt actually proved this by the way, see Pg. 21). And so since, as we’ve already established, the Holy Spirit is God, we must conclude that Jesus, as the Son of Man, was equal parts God and man. Now obviously he couldn’t have been “half God” and “half man”, because something/someone is either “God” or their not.
Therefore we must conclude, just as championed in the Westminster Confession of Faith, “when the fullness of time was come, [He took] upon Him man’s nature, with all the essential properties, and common infirmities thereof, yet without sin; being conceived by the power of the Holy Ghost, in the womb of the virgin Mary, of her substance. So that two whole, perfect, and distinct natures, the Godhead and the manhood, were inseparably joined together in one person, without conversion, composition, or confusion. Which person is very God, and very man, yet one Christ, the only Mediator between God and man. The Lord Jesus, in His human nature thus united to the divine, was sanctified, and anointed with the Holy Spirit, above measure, having in Him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge; in whom it pleased the Father that all fullness should dwell; to the end that, being holy, harmless, undefiled, and full of grace and truth, He might be thoroughly furnished to execute the office of a Mediator and Surety. Which office He took not unto Himself, but was thereunto called by His Father, who put all power and judgment into His hand, and gave Him commandment to execute the same.”
So to close this section, let us hear the Bible’s conclusion of the matter: “…Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.“ (Phil 2:5-8). For indeed, seeing “Divinity” and “mortality” repressent irreconcilable polar opposites, we must conclude with the Apostle Paul, that indeed, “without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory“ (1 Tim. 3:16); and in such a context understand the relationship of The Son to the Father, which are ultimately and literally “One“ (Jn. 10:30), which we shall now establish to be the true and proper interpretation of this verse.
Thus is the underlying Hebrew of our english rendering, “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one Lord” (Deut. 6:4; known in traditional Judaism “The Shema“). If you’re using a KJV, whenever you see “LORD” so rendered in all capital letters in the old testament, the underlying hebrew is the name of God, (“YHVH”, “Yahweh”, “Jehovah”, etc.). But if it’s rendered “Lord” the underlying Hebrew is “Elohim” (Strong’s H430); which is a plural form of “Eloah” (Strong’s H433) which means “God”). Now, nouns in Hebrew are gendered (kind of like words ending in an ‘o’ vs. an ‘a’ in spanish). And, whenever the suffix “im” is added to a hebrew word it indicates plural masculine, whereas an “ot” suffix would indicate plural feminine. So, according to this passage, Jehovah (singular) is Elohim (a plurality). Seems contradictory does it not? How exactly does that work? What are the precise ramifications of this? To be honest, I don’t fully understand (1 Tim. 3:16)! All I know is that that’s what moses was inspired to write, and the new testament affirms that’s what it means, for when Lord Jesus Christ stated “I and my Father are one“, “Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him“ (Jn. 10:30, once again, the punishment for blasphemy, Lev. 24:16). Next we’ll look at a couple other occurances of this word “echad” to see if we gain any more clues into to how this all could make sense.
While the types or “shadows of things to come” (Heb. 10:1) in the old testament often cannot possibly meet an exact correspondence in their fulfillment (as succinctly demonstrated on Pg.586 of Jonathan Gray’s Ark of The Covenant) we know that whatever the Bible plainly states, we can rest assured is incontrovertibly true. Therefore, for example, to point to the creation of Eve from Adam and proclaim, “lo, this must typify that Christ did not eternally exist, but was created from God” is ultimately a specious argument, since we’ve already demonstrated that such a reading creates irreconcilable contradictions with the rest of the Bible. So once again, if we’re to try and make a typology of the Godhead from Eve’s being taken out from Adam’s bosom, the only way to do so and yet be Biblical, would be if we applied it to Jesus in the sense that He, as the Holy Spirit of the Father in heaven, became man.
One thing that can be said for sure regarding that first Marriage, however (and all that were to follow), is that when Scripture declares, “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh” (Gen. 2:24), when it says that they shall be “one flesh“ it’s the same underlying Hebrew “echad” we covered from Deut. 6:4. How could a man and women, which are clearly distinct individuals be considered one? Well actually, as it turns out, it’s been proven that our physiology literally changes and we literally become one with our spouses, through living together and intimacy. This has been discovered to be true in multiple ways, for instance, the melding of our immune systems through gut bacterias, and also through our bodies cells which manage, not only transfer, but even to continue to living in our partners, and even crossing the blood-brain barrier. And of course we know that a husband and wife also literally and entirely become one flesh through the person(s) of their progeny (the amalgamation of the literal physical substance of each, through the DNA; and of course also in personality traits, habits, etc.). So we find that this is actually literally true (and once again that the Bible is thousands of years ahead of science). And yet of course the husband and wife, while being one, each have their own will, and as will their child(ren).
Another fascinating instance of the use of “echad” comes from the account of creation. When “God divided the light from the darkness” it says “And the evening and the morning were the [“Echad”] day“ (Gen. 1:4-5). Now of course, we don’t normally think of days in terms of a plurality. But that that doesn’t change the fact the Bible defines a singular day as consisting of two distinctives, an evening and a morning.
So I guess we can only conclude that, while their is only one God, God indeed has a plurality of “manifestations”, “attributes”, “aspects”; or perhaps we could even refer to it as “personas”, in the same way that a day consists of an evening and morning according to the Bible. Another thing for sure is, It cannot be considered merely incidental that Jesus said “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” (Mt. 28:19), and John “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word [i.e. Jesus, Jn. 1:14], and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” (1 Jn. 5:7; i.e. in light of 2 Cor. 13:1). Again, if we deny the authority and inspiration of such verses we by implication call God a liar, Ps. 12:6-7; 2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Jn. 1:10).
Let us also ask ourselves, did not Jesus use His creation to teach man about God through parables? Is it possible that the sun, the brightest object in the heavens, literally the “light of men” would not also point to Him, who the Bible indeed calls the “Sun of Righteousness“ (Mal. 4:2)? Is God not sovereign? Is it possibly just a coincidence that when one squints their eyes and looks at the sun that it appears to the eyes in the shape of the cross? And is it also just a coincidence that the sun has 3 notable phases, sunrise, high noon, and sunset (while in actuality being one circuitous or “eternal” course)? That the perfect harmony of a chord in music consits of 3 notes, etc? Does that make it pagan, or did God create it that way? Is it also just a coincidence for example that we find the serpent, the flood, the madonna & child, atonement through the shedding of blood, etc. in every single religion in the world? Just because these things were perverted, and men worshipped the creation more then the creator (Rom. 1:25) does that mean there was no serpent, no flood, no virgin born child, atonement through His blood, or that the notions are altogether pagan? Of course, for we know from the Bible that all of these things are matters of fact by decree of the Only Wise God (Jud. 1:25). We also know that all of these things must have been relayed to Adam after the fall, as evidenced by Gen. 3:15 (and thus also to his progeny, from whence came all of mankind). Thus we see that though these symbols have been perverted in their meaning overtime by those who know not God, and been surrounded with pagan superstition and veneration, they nonetheless have their basis in fact. And that even God’s creation bears witness of His complex and incomprehensible “echadness”. Evidently these things all point to the One God who “manifests” (for lack of a better term) in three chief ways.
The Trinity Doctrine, Arianism, etc. are actually in essence the same. How so you ask? In as much as they both ultimately deity of Christ (arianism either outrightly or by implication in denying Christ’s eternality, and the Trinity by stating “the Son is not the Holy Ghost, and neither is He the Father”, etc.). And this doctrine (the rejection of the deity of Christ) they share with the Muslims, the Othordox Jews, the Buddhists, and not just these, but nay every single other false religion and cult of the world. And I’m not sure about you, but that’s certainly not a camp I’d want to be in (see 2 Peter 2:1). Those who deny the deity of Christ will ultimately die in their sins unless they repent and believe the Gospel ((Lk. 13:3; Acts 16:30-31), and those who so teach others, will ultimately be in even more trouble (Jam. 3:1; Mt. 5:19, Mt. 18:6; etc.).
Conclusion
Well like I said, I don’t claim to have all the answers. But hopefully this exposition at the at least was in some way informative, and established firmly the fundamentals of our faith that the Bible definitely teaches.
But in conclusion, I just want to remind you dear reader, as it concerns our understanding of the precise nature of the Godhead; while it’s certainly extremely important to have as clear and Biblical a conception of the Godhead as possible (otherwise I would not have taken the time to write this), one thing is for sure, at the end of the day we are saved by grace through faith in the blood of Christ (Eph. 2:8-9). We are not saved by our knowledge of the Godhead. We essentially make ourselves Gnostics (which comes from the greek word Gnosis, meaning “to have knowledge”) if we think it’s our knowledge of anything that save us, or that with which God is most conerned regarding us, but rather Love (1 Cor. 13), bearing fruit (Jn. 15:8), “the weightier matters of the law” (Mt. 23:23) and even prophecy (2 Pet. 1:19) and establishing His law (Is. 8:16, 20; 1 Jn. 2:4; Rom. 3:31; etc.).
And consider this, while it’s exceeding doubtful that the thief on the cross thoroughly and perfectly understood the nature of the Godhead (especially having not the New Testament Scriptures), neither the little children “of whom is the kingdom of God” (Mt. 19:14), nor the Publican who smote his breast because of his conception of the exceeding sinfulness of sin and thus went home justified, it’s most likely that that pharisee that “thanked God he was so religious that he was “not as other men”, probably in all likelihood did think that he had a pretty good understanding of the Godhead (Lk. 18:9-14).
This exposition is dedicated to David Barron of the ministry Third Angel’s Message, to whom I had initially conceded, when he maintained that Jesus was “created sometime before creation”, and who thus inadvertently inspired me to write it, after the Holy Spirit had impressed on my heart that He was ultimately me wrong, by recalling certain scriptures to my mind.
This exposition is also especially dedicated to Sister Genobia, who not only took interest in my ministry; but also greatly encouraged me to be “always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord” (1 Cor. 15:58), when I most needed it, and for having taken the time to send me many scriptures and quotes from Ellen White as it related to the subject.
Bonus, a random verse I couldn’t find aplace for: “Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.”-Heb. 7:16, the underlying greek of “endless” signifies “permanent” and I’m personally not aware of anything truly permanent other than God.

Thomas S. Cowan, MD: This is a crazy situation…None of Koch’s postulates [defined below], which has been the medical standard, the world over, for over a hundred years for proving a virus or other micro-organism to be the cause of a disease, have been met, this flies in the face of everything we know about virology, and infectious causation…failure of infectious disease community to follow the actual laws and rules that they set up to prove infectious etiology [i.e. causation]…There is no accurate test for Covid-19, the RT-PCR that’s being used is a surrogate test, cannot prove anything, it’s inventor [kary mullis] explicitly said it “cannot use this test to either prove infectious etiology or to diagnosis an infectious disease”. Positive diagnosis’s are being made based on the arbitrary amplifications of a sequence of RNA which everyone has in their bodies, can result in a “positive” diagnosis with 100% of people tested…People are testing positive one moment, then negative the next…We should all at least be skeptical if not actually look into how do you prove a virus exists, and did the people running this actually do prove that
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3LgrcDAlJs
What are Koch’s Postulates?
“Evidence required to establish etiologic relationship between microorganism and disease: 1. Micro-organism must be observed in every case of disease (and not present in healthy beings) 2. Must be isolated from all other organic material and grown in pure culture 3. Pure culture when inoculated in healthy beings must reproduce same disease 4. Micro-organism must be recovered from the diseased animal”
http://hihg.med.miami.edu/code/http/modules/education/Design/page.asp?CourseNum=4&LessonNum=2
Andrew Kaufman, MD: Based on the medical papers published regarding Covid-19, Neither Koch’s Postulates, nor even Rivers’ more lax adaptation of them (which cannot be used to definitely evidence causation) have been met for Covid-19; Major ethical violation here, papers contain flat out lies, the references listed as containing evidence for coivd-19 as “causative agent” of pandemic don’t actually exist in the sources that are cited; this should be condemned, being used to dictate world policies, but science isn’t their to back it up

Dr. Dan Erickson MD, and Dr. Artin Massihi, MD: We have combined 40 years of experience.. We’ve made it our lives work to understand this stuff.. the immune system is built by being exposed to antigens, viruses, bacteria, etc. You don’t take a small child, put them in bubble wrap in a room, and tell them “go have a healthy immune system, this is immunology, microbiology 101.. this is the basisis of what we’ve known for years. When you take human beings and say go in your house, wash your hands clean all your counters, lysol them down…kill 99% of viruses and bacteria, wear a mask, don’t go outside.. This is the stuff we need to survive. What does it do to our immune system? Our immune system is used to touching, we share bacteria, viruses, etec. and create an immune system daily to this stuff. When you take that away, shelter in place, the immune system drops, you stay there for months, drops more. Let’s follow the science.

Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine Rashid A Buttar, FAAPM, FACAM, FAAIM: No benefit from wearing mask, Pores to big to filter viruses. Masks actually hurt you.

Quote from Robert Redfield: “But there has been another cost that we’ve seen, particularly in high schools. We’re seeing, sadly, far greater suicides now than we are deaths from COVID.

I think we can now see why lockdowns were not considered in any pandemic response protocol. They are destructive, immoral and terrible. And as shown multiple times, they are also ineffective.
The lockdowns of 2020 should go down in history as one of modern society’s greatest mistakes, to be a lesson on how NOT to create public policy and should never be repeated ever again in the future. It’s a story not of human ingenuity or innovation, but of regression into medieval tactics, using what can only be described as modern day Rain Dances. It’s a story of terrible pain and horror that won’t end because our pride won’t allow us to admit that this was a mistake, an act of hubris on a worldwide scale. These restrictions are a testament to human arrogance.
Happy New Years.”-original source

Ex-NSA employee Edward Snowden Warns Governments Are Using Coronavirus to Build ‘the Architecture of Oppression’
https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/bvge5q/snowden-warns-governments-are-using-coronavirus-to-build-the-architecture-of-oppression
Today anyone who suggests a cover-up or foul play may be at foot is immediately denounced as a “conspiracy theorist”, but let’s see what our founding fathers thought regarding the feasibility of conspiracies:
“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object[, this] evinces a design [i.e. a plot, or conspiracy] to reduce them under absolute Despotism”-Declaration of Indepdence
In fact, instead of being wary to accept the veracity of such a notion, to the contrary, the founding fathers taught that the ONLY way to retain our freedoms, was to always suspect and guard against such plots.
“The cost of freedom is eternal vigilance.”-Thomas Jefferson
And it seems as though Founding Fathers also understood that even issues of “health” and other matters “four our good” would be seized upon to enact tyranny.
“If people let government decide which foods they eat and medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny.”-Thomas Jefferson
And of course why wouldn’t they? Does the conman come to his victim outwardly evincing his design? Or does he as lucifer come as an angel of light?
26 years after writing his Dystopian Novel Brave New World, Alodus Huxley, surprised at the rate at which we were actually moving towards this dreadful destiny wrote:
“The twenty‐first century will be the era of World Controllers…The older dictators fell because they could never supply their subjects with enough bread, enough circuses, enough miracles and mysteries. Under a scientific dictatorship education will really work, with the result that most men and women will grow up to love their servitude and will never dream of revolution. There seems to be no good reason why a thoroughly scientific dictatorship should ever be overthrown”-Brave New World Revisited, by Alodus Huxley, 1958, Pg. 116
“The individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists. The American mind simply has not come to a realization of the evil which has been introduced into our midst. It rejects even the assumption that human creatures could espouse a philosophy which must ultimately destroy all that is good and decent.”-J. Edgar Hoover (Director, founder of FBI), The Elks Magazine (August 1956).
President John F. Kennedy: “The very word secrecy is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweigh the dangers which are cited to justify them…Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it…the facts they deserve to know… I do ask every publisher, every editor, and every newsman in the nation to reexamine his own standards, and to recognize the nature of our nations peril…Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe. The survival of our friends is in danger. And yet no war has been declared, no borders have been crossed by marching troops, no missiles have been fired…no war ever posed a greater threat to our security. The danger has never been more clear and its presence has never been more imminent…For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy, which relies primary on covert means for expanding it’s sphere of influence. On infiltration instead of invasion. On subversion instead of elections. On intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific, and political operations. Its preparations are concealed not published. Its mistakes are buried not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed…the dilemma faced by a free and open society in a cold and secret war…it is our obligation to inform and alert the American People, to make certain they possess all the facts that they need, and understand them as well…I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the people….for I have complete confidence in the response and dedication of our citizens whenever they are fully informed…Without debate, without criticism, no administration and no country can succeed–and no republic can survive. That is why the Athenian lawmaker Solon decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy. And that is why our press was protected by the first amendment. The only business in America specifically protected by the constitution-not primarily to amuse and entertain, not to emphasize the trivial and the sentimental…but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state our dangers and opportunities, to indicate our crises and our choices, to lead, mold, educate, and sometimes even anger public opinion. It means greater attention to improved understanding of the news as well as improved transmission. And it means, finally, that government at all levels, must meet its obligation to provide you with the fullest possible information…I’m Confident that with your help, man will be what he was born to be, free and independent.”- Speech before the American Newspaper Publishers Association, Waldorf Astoria, April 27, 1961 (listen to full speech https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdMbmdFOvTs)
Abraham Lincoln: “The Pope and the Jesuits, with their infernal Inquisition, are the only organized power in the world which have recourse to the dagger of the assassin to murder those whom they cannot convince with their arguments, or conquer with the sword. Unfortunately, I feel more and more, every day, that it is not against the Americans of the South, alone, I am fighting, it is more against the Pope of Rome, his perfidious Jesuits and their blind and blood-thirsty slaves…the immense majority of the Roman Catholic bishops, priests and laymen, are rebels in heart, when they cannot be in fact; with very few exceptions, they are publicly in favor of slavery. I understand, now, why the patriots of France, who determined to see the colors of Liberty floating over their great and beautiful country, were forced to hang or shoot almost all the priests and the monks as the irreconcilable enemies of Liberty [i.e. the french revolution]. For it is a fact, which is now evident to me, that, with very few exceptions, every priest and every true Roman Catholic is a determined enemy of Liberty. Their extermination, in France, was one of those terrible necessities which no human wisdom could avoid; it looks to me now as an order from heaven to save France. May God grant that the same terrible necessity be never felt in the United States! But there is a thing which is very certain; it is, that if the American people could learn what I know of the fierce hatred of the generality of the priests of Rome against our institutions, our schools, our most sacred rights, and our so dearly bought liberties, they would drive them away, tomorrow, from among us, or they would shoot them as traitors…The history of these last thousand years tells us that wherever the Church of Rome is not a dagger to pierce the bosom of a free nation, she is a stone to her neck, and a ball to her feet, to paralyze her and prevent her advance in the ways of civilization, science, intelligence, happiness and liberty…This war [(i.e. the civil war)] would never have been possible without the sinister influence of the Jesuits….The Protestants of both the North and the South would surely unite to exterminate the priests and the Jesuits, if they could hear what Professor Morse [(i.e. Samuel Morse, who’ll be quoted below] has said to me of the plots made in the very city of Rome to destroy this Republic, and if they could learn how the priests, the nuns, and the monks, who daily land on our shores, under the pretext of preaching their religion, instructing the people in their schools, taking care of the sick in the hospitals, are nothing else but the emissaries of the Pope, of Napoleon, and the other despots of Europe, to undermine our institutions, alienate the hearts of our people from our constitution, and our laws, destroy our schools, and prepare a reign of anarchy here as they have done in Ireland, in Mexico, in Spain, and wherever there are any people who want to be free, … I would have laughed at the man who would have told me that, before I became the President. But Professor Morse has opened my eyes on that subject. And, now, I see that mystery; I understand that engineering of hell which, though not seen, nor even suspected by the country… I see a very dark cloud on our horizon. And that dark cloud is coming from Rome. It is filled with tears of blood. It will rise and increase, till its flanks will be torn by a flash of lightning, followed by a fearful peal of thunder. Then a cyclone such as the world has never seen, will pass over this country, spreading ruin and desolation from north to south.”-Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865; 16th President of the United States)
“It is my opinion that if the liberties of this country – the United States of America – are destroyed, it will be by the subtlety of the…Jesuits, for they are the most crafty, dangerous enemies to civil and religious liberty. They have instigated MOST of the wars of Europe.” –Marquis de LaFayette (French General, served under George Washington in the American Continental Army), Pg. 127, Americanism Versus Romanism, by James L. Chapman, 1856
“The Society of Jesus [i.e. the Jesuits] is the enemy of man. The whole human race should unite for its overthrow. …For there is no alternative between its total extirpation, and the absolute corruption and degradation of mankind.”– Robert J. Breckinridge (Kentucky Legislator, lawyer, superintendent of public education, president of Jefferson College, professor at Danville Theological Seminary)
“The Jesuits…are a secret society – a sort of Masonic order – with superadded features of revolting odiousness, and a thousand times more dangerous…If despotism approaches us in the garb of religion, is it the less to be resisted?…The present Pope asserts his claim to temporal, as well as spiritual jurisdiction over his subjects; this jurisdiction he now exercises in other countries. Are not the Catholics of this country the subjects of the Pope; do they not owe him an allegiance superior to any due to our laws? And is this a religious or a political question?…in the hands of Jesuits [a] political engine of foreign despotis [who seek] to spread a great political and religious system over the country; a system notorious for enslaving, impoverishing, and degrading the people…[with their] papal spirit; [an] emphatically anti-American spirit…[means that the American people should]be jealous of their influence, and to watch with unremitted care all their movements in relation to our free institutions…all Americans who love liberty, and mean to maintain it…a conspiracy against the liberties of this Republic is now in full action…knowing the impossibility of obliterating this troublesome example of a great and free nation by force of arms, is attempting to accomplish his object through the agency of an army of Jesuits…[these] politico-religious despots of the Old World…to put in motion for the subversion of our liberties…an immense accumulation of foreign despotic influence among us…the spirit of mob-violence which has lately manifested itself so frequently in our large cities. We should do well to remember that we have secret and artful enemies busily at work, who can and will take advantage of this unnatural state of the public feeling, and who will not fail secretly to administer fuel in modes in which they are perfectly familiar, to a diseased excitement so favorable to their views. We have in the country a powerful religious- politico sect, whose final success depends on the subversion of these democratic institutions, and who have therefore a vital interest in promoting mob-violence…… Let them suspect a Popish plot to rob them of their liberties in every disorderly assemblage, and by good order, by firmness of resistance to evil…Is it possible that these Jesuits can have a sincere attachment to the principles of free institutions? Do not these principles oppose a constant barrier to their exercise of that arbitrary power, which they claim as a divine right and which they exercise, too, in all countries…We cannot be too often reminded of the
double character of the enemy who has trained foothold upon our shores ; for although Popery is a religious sect, and on this ground claims toleration side by side with other religious sects, yet Popery is also a political, a despotic system, which we must repel as altogether incompatible with the existence of freedom…which must be resisted by all true patriots…Jesuits…encroach by little and little, and persevere till they have attained the plenitude of power…At present they have but one aim in this country, which absorbs all others, and that is, to make themselves popular. If they succeed in this, we shall then learn, when too late to remedy the evil, that Popery abandons none of its divine rights… [they breed] mental degradation…poverty…wretchedness [and] human misery“-Samuel Morse (Inventor of Telegraph, Morse Code)
“the Jesuits, are plotting against cherished and vital principles of our institutions…intruders into a peaceful and harmonious circle…but for them, universal peace and quiet would prevail…[to overthrow] the Constitutional Government…the pope could not find another ally so formidable as the Jesuits, nor one with such implacable hatred of liberalism [i.e. the freedom] and popular government [i.e. our democratic republics]…They are the deadly enemies of civil and religious liberty. Nothing that stands in their way can become so sacred as to escape their vengeance….They consider the Reformation which gave birth to [the constitution] to have been criminal resistance to the only rightful authority upon earth — that which proceeds from Church and State combined. They believe that the condition of mankind during the Middle Ages, staggering under the weight of feudal oppression, was preferable to modern progress and enlightenment; that human happiness would be promoted by the return to that period ; that the political right of self-government by the people can not be set up against the higher right of papal and monarchical power; that the progress of the advancing nations is delusive and unsubstantial ; and that institutions which guarantee civil and religious freedom, if not arrested by some coercive power strong enough to put an end to them, will lead, through heresy, to social ruin and desolation…[the jesuits are] a disturber of the peace of nations,…The members of this society are numerous and …Self-government by the people is held by them to be violative of the divine law, and on that account may rightfully be resisted as heretical, when its overthrow can be assured. They will allow no rights to exist in either States, peoples, or individuals, against what they consider the prerogatives of their society as defined by their general, who, in their estimation, possesses the divine right to enlarge or contract them at his own pleasure. There must be no limitation to the power and independence of the pope, either in the spiritual or temporal domain, except where the interests of their society command otherwise; they must be full, absolute, unquestioned, to the extent defined by himself. His liberty must be such that he may, at his own discretion, curtail the liberties of all others… “Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence,” said Washington, “the jealousy of a free people ought ever to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove *that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government.”–R. W. Thompson (President pro tempore of the Indiana Senate, Lieutenant Governor, US congressman 1841-1843, 1847-1849, 27th United States Secretary of the Navy)
“As much as I had admired the German Benedictines, I admired the Jesuits more . . . the Society of Jesus was something special; the shock troop of the Catholic church. So effective an organization was it that . . . Heinrich Himmler used it as the model for his own corps of Ubermenschen [(Supermen)], the Schutzstaffel [(the SS)], whose hand-picked members swore a special oath of loyalty to the Fuhrer as the highest rank of Jesuits did to the Pope. . . . These men ran the world, and it was obvious that they enjoyed it. I resolved to become like them.”–Will: The Autobiography Of G. Gordon Liddy (1980) by G. Gordon Liddy (FBI agent, Army officer, politician, Lawyer, radio personality, actor, writer)
“…much more is to be dreaded from the growth of Popery in America than the Stamp Act.”-Samuel Adams, 1768 (American Patriot and “Grand Incendiary”),Boston Gazette

Since, and as has been demonstrated, many experts with renowned accolades, maintain that wearing a mask is actually harmful not only physically, but also sociologically, and that healthy (or asymptomatic people) pose no risk to others, and since mankind’s Creator has endowed us with certain unalienable rights, as acknowledged and reflected in the excerpts above of the document that’s supposed to be the law of the land, wearing a mask needs to be a personal choice. Those who pass draconian legislation in contradiction to these Creator endowed rights shall in the end face the eternal consequences of the wrath and condemnation of the Almighty. Furthermore, those who enforce these draconian measures are just as guilty as the Nazi enablers who at the Nuremburg trials pleaded innocence since they were “just following orders”.
According to the God of the Bible, these are RELIGIOUS issues, as the Bible states, “know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.”-1 Cor. 6:19; 1 Cor. 3:17

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”-2 Ch. 7:14
For one thing, we as a nation (and the world for that matter), as a whole are experiencing the judgments of the Lord and the destructive lying power of satan chiefly through his influence on mankind. Secondly, we’ve abdicated our personal responsibility to do our own research, and have put our faith in the media, in the government, etc. that we’ve made our gods. Beyond this, we are living amidst the final events foretold in Bible Prophecy which will culminate in the return of the Lord Jesus Christ, ushering in the end of the world.
So what can you do? Get right with God, accept Jesus Christ, His sinless Son as your savior, that he died for you and took your sins upon himself, shedding His blood so that you a sinner could be forgiven, as even archaeology and history prove. Spend what time remains preparing for eternity by searching His Word, the Holy Bible (I recommend the King James Version), studying out these matters, and warning others. The best is yet to come for those who lay their lives down for the truth and their fellowman’s sake:
“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain.For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.”-Rev. 21:4; Is. 65:17

This is the introduction to the news headlines which are presented at my post titled Proof Sunday Laws Being Promoted and Enforced Now.
Before we get to the headlines, a few things should probably be pointed out. While these things may sound like a good thing to many, given the present moral crisis, here’s why Christians (and non-Christians) should actually be extremely alarmed by these things: 1) the Bible puts forth the Seventh day Sabbath (saturday), never sunday, as the day God says is to be set aside for rest and worship (see article Sabbath vs. Sunday). 2) Jesus made a distinction (separation) between church and state (Mt. 22:21; Jn. 18:36). 3) God created men with freewill, He never forced people to worship Him (let alone appeal to civil government to force them to worship Him) 4) over 1500 years of very well documented history prove that every single time religion (especially that which calls itself ‘Christian’) and civil government unite, it always results in extreme persecution and bloodshed, even of Christians, i.e. those who may interpret the Bible differently and therefore aren’t able to submit to the state state enforced creed. That’s the whole reason the Pilgrim’s came to America in the first place, and why religious liberty was framed as the first amendment in the Bill of rights/Constitution. 5) According to scripture sunday has to be infamous mark of the beast of Bible Prophecy. Not only does God plainly state that the Saturday Sabbath is His mark (Ezek. 20:12) the beast herself (the roman papacy) has actually boasted many times that sunday is her “mark”, see pgs. 23-28). And according to Bible prophecy the enforcement of mark of the beast comes about as the result of a church/state union known as the image (which can also be interpreted to mean likeness, Gen. 1:27) of the beast or roman papacy (again refer to study just linked), i.e. a church/state and persecuting power. Now, that being said, while sunday is the mark of the beast, it should be understood that it’s observance doesn’t become the salvation/damnation issue described in the book of revelation (which ushers in the end of the world and return of Christ) until it’s enforced upon the entire world (which will start in America). Those who loved God and kept sunday as the sabbath up until that point, who didn’t know any better, will not be condemned for it. This issue is merely the culmination of an age long conflict between true and false worship, exclusive to the endtimes, when mankind will be without excuse, living during information age we live in, and of which the observance of the one day vs. the other is merely a sign or indication of allegiance/worship: either to God’s word or traditions of men. The notion that there could ever come a time when sunday observance would be enforced must be taken seriously, for all across the united states, dating back to colonial times, there’ve existed laws forbidding sales and other activities on sundays in America (See Blue Laws in the United States), and likewise in other countries around the world (see Blue Laws, Sunday Shopping), and that the first sunday law was actually passed in 321 A.D. by the Roman Emperor Constantine. The list of headlines below can in no way be considered exhaustive, as of November 2019, new headlines are coming out every day showing making even more evident the inevitability of this interpretation of prophecy. You will also see several headlines using major celebrities (idols) to promote the “christian” faith. Many of these celebrities are musicians. Just as the musicians and prominent men in Daniel’s day were used to get people to worship the image (Dan. 3:2, 7) so too it is proving to be the case in forcing the worship (or obedience, Rom 6:16) of the image (Rev. 13:15) in our time.
Okay, now let’s get to the headlines.
There are some who detest the Jehovah’s witnesses. I remember once when I was in community college, and was standing outside smoking (this was about 3 years before I was saved) with who a person who turned out to be one of the campus cooks (younger guy, probably late 20’s), and he told when he saw them approaching his place he’d strip off his clothes and answer the door. More recently, one staunch roman catholic man I occasionally do yardwork for, told me as we were discussing them coming to his place frequently (and religion in general), when told him I had to go grab my calculator to get him his bill, “when they come to my door I tell them I charge them $20/hr. And I don’t need a calculator to figure out the tax…I was born catholic and I will die a catholic!”. But at the very least they must be commended for their diligence in evangelism. And in accordance with Peter’s admonition to “…be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear” (1 Pet. 3:15) I’ve “Stud[ied] to shew [my]self approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Tim. 2:15), and therefore look forward to any opportunity I get to speak to them.
One of the central tenants of the Gospel is the deity of Messiah, for if the Savior was not “God manifest in the flesh” (1 Tim. 3:16), then we are yet in our sins, because mankind has a fallen nature and is born in sin (Ps. 51:5), and only One without sin could take the punishment we deserve. Therefore, while there are many doctrines in Christendom not worth making a big deal of, this definitely cannot be considered one of them, being central to one’s salvation status. And thus, one of commonalities of all the other world religions (whether overtly or covertly) is an attack on this doctrine. And so likewise do all of the english Bibles subsequent to the KJV (which have an ecumenical bent to them). And of course anyone that’s familiar with with JW’s knows that they reject the notion of Messiah’s Deity, and have their own Bible translation to “prove” it called the “New World” Translation (kind of like New World Order, yeah?).
Before moving on, I think it should also be mentioned that if you are seventh-day adventist, JW’s share many of the Biblical aspects of your denomination which are uncommon in traditional Christianity (such as the notion of freewill in a “great controversy” over God’s law, the mortality of the soul, that we are living in the endtimes, they historically identified the papacy as the antichrist, and evidently as of 2004 anyways still publishing, “anti-catholic” material, etc.)
I suppose before we get to the apologetics I should probably elucidate the verses which have been significantly altered in their translation to remove the Deity of Messiah, so that you will know which verses you will not be able to use:
“Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God”-Phil. 2:6 (KJV)
Vs.
“who, although he was existing in God’s form,+ gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God.”–Phil. 2:6 (NWT)
–
“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.“-1 Tim 3:16 (KJV)
Vs.
“Indeed, the sacred secret of this godly devotion is admittedly great: ‘He was made manifest in flesh,+ was declared righteous in spirit,+ appeared to angels,+ was preached about among nations,+ was believed upon in the world,+ was received up in glory.’”-1 Tim 3:16 (NWT)
–
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”-Jn. 1:1 (KJV)
Vs.
“In the beginning was the Word,+ and the Word was with God,+ and the Word was a god.“-Jn. 1:1 (NWT)
In many of my encounter’s with JW’s they’ll say oh no we can use translation that’s fine. But of course as soon as you point to the scriptures in the KJV which infallibly prove the deity of Messiah they start pull out their “Kingdom Interlinear” (essentially their concordance) to tell you what it “Really” means. Therefore one must be prepared to ultimately be able to make the case from their own translation, which in spite of being diabolically inspired, yet retains enough evidence to do so sufficiently.
So I might begin by telling them that I to worship Jehovah and witness for Him, and commend them for their evangelistic efforts. Then I would say something along the line of, “Hey I want to ask you a question. Do you believe that only God is infallible?” To which they will of course respond yes. Then you say “okay, you would acknowledge it’s possible that you could be in error in matters of doctrine”? And they will of course generally say yes. Then ask them, “if you were wrong and it could be proven from your own Bible, would want to know about it?”, which again, they will generally say yes, because though brainwashed, they are generally honest and well intentioned people.
It’s actually really simple, there’s only a couple verses that you need to memorize (but I nonetheless will elaborate on a couple other points for arguments sake after this section). The following Bible quotes are be from their translation:
“But about the Son, he says: “God is your throne forever and ever, and the scepter of your Kingdom is the scepter of uprightness.”-Hebrews 1:8
“For a child has been born to us, A son has been given to us; And the rulership will rest on his shoulder.His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. To the increase of his rulershipAnd to peace, there will be no end, On the throne of David and on his kingdomIn order to establish it firmly and to sustain it Through justice and righteousness, From now on and forever.The zeal of Jehovah of armies will do this.”-Isaiah 9:6-7
Now bear in mind that when you point these things out to them, they probably will not then receive it, they say “yeah but…” and jump to another text denying the incontrovertible texts you just showed them instead of seeking to reconcile those passages to it. But nonetheless, rest assured that you planted a seed that will never be forgotten, and by God’s grace will set them free and lead them out of this cult to belief in the true Gospel.
Jehovah:
“This is what Jehovah says, “The King of Israel and his Repurchaser, Jehovah of armies:
‘I am the first and I am the last. There is no God but me.”-Is. 44:6
Jesus:
“‘Look! I am coming quickly, and the reward I give is with me, to repay each one according to his work. I am the Alʹpha and the O·meʹga, the first and the last, the beginning and the end…I, Jesus,”-Rev. 22:12-13, 16
First I would point out to them that the one thing that all the pagan religions have in common is attacking the Jesus’ deity. I would also remind them of their denomination’s anti-catholic roots, and then show them how on Pg. 9 their own Kingdom Interlinear it actually admits that there were two jesuits (catholic military order) who were part of creating their translation, and that it’s also largely based on the catholic Westcott-Hort manuscripts, and ask them how, knowing that, they could have confidence in their translation.
Then I would procede to show them the a glaring inconsistency in their translation, for instance, how the same underlying Hebrew describing Messiah as being “from everlasting” (Micah 5:2, as translated in the KJV) but translated “from the days of long ago” in their translation, was correctly translated “from everlasting”, “From Eternity” etc. in 8 other instances in their translation (Ps. 41:13; Ps. 90:2; Ps. 93:2; Ps. 103:17; Hab. 1:12).
Finally I would ask them if someone such as myself, who loves Jesus, loves His Word’s, and who’s clearly bearing fruit, and has a burden to fulfill the great commission is going to be condemned according to their teachings since I reject Jehovah’s Witness-ism. They will invariably say something along the lines of, “oh no we don’t believe that, we can’t judge your heart, only God can.” I would then point out to them how, while they’re expressed viewpoint is laudable, it’s inconsistent, and does not represent the teaching of their denomination which teaches:
“The ideological argument states that, since absolute truth is unitary and exclusive of all relativisation, there can only ‘logically’ be one human organization to represent it. Consequently, all other religious organizations are in error and are to be strictly avoided. The absolutist view of truth further implies that, since anything less than absolute truth can only corrupt and destroy it, there can be no justification for Jehovah’s witnesses having any kind of association with other religionists, however sincere the motivation might be.”-as Quoted in The Trumpet of Prophecy by James Beckford (1975), p. 202
(refer also to their articles, Is Interfaith God’s Way?, and Should the Religions Unite?)
Obviously the doctrinal points of disagreement cannot be said to be minor or non-salvation related issues, if they merit such a separation (which grounds of separation the Bible alone commends).
And through the process of seeking to witness to anyone, when they bring up “objections” to what your espousing, if you find you don’t have a satisfactory Biblical answer to some of them, use the opportunity as a learning experience. Reflect on every interaction afterwards, how you could answered better, etc. And those things for which you had no answer, when you get home, on the Sabbath, or w/e take the time to search the internet and find a logical answer to whatever objections they tried to bring up so that you are more prepared next time.
Contending for The Faith
