Guarding Against Deception

Pete

Deceptions in the Last Days

The love of many is waxing cold in the world as everything seems to be turned upside down.  The love of God and even the mention of His name and His commandments are hard to find.  And where Christ is preached, most are offended in these darkening times, as foretold.  Those precious few in the faith need to remain vigilant and endure the many deceptions and evils we confront daily.

Mat 24:11  And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 

Mat 24:12  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 

Mat 24:13  But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

The Lord is separating the sheep from the goats in this day of the Lord.  Today is that day if we belong to the Lord and have the living Word, the sayings and commands of Jesus Christ working its work in us.  We best heed all apostasy warnings lest we, too, fall away.

1Co 10:12  Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. 

An expanding deception is the perversion of the meaning and intents of the word Love.  The relentless promotion of unnatural relationships between men and women impacts all nations.  The so-called gay lobby has successfully promoted the lie that not accepting their abominable behaviors is akin to hate, and by agreeing with their views, one would be deemed to be siding with “love.” Those so deceived have it entirely backward and flip-flopped as prophesied.

Isa 5:20  Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 

My purpose in this article is not to get entangled with those in the world nor contest what the Lord is doing, as He is ultimately responsible for everything we witness.

Isa 45:7  I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. 

Rather, the Lord quickened me to write a follow-up to my last post, “Heeding the Lord’s Commandments in Faith.” The goal is to expose a related perversion of love, a growing apostasy that has ensnared brethren who previously stood firm in the faith.  Godly love shares some attributes with the love that those in the world know, but it is distinctly different in one key component.  What sets it apart is that love must be tied to doing the Lord’s commandments and sayings.  Any action contrary to what the Lord has commanded of us is not love in the eyes of Christ.  May these words the Lord gave me, sharpen our senses to be on guard.

Joh 15:10  If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. 

The further we walk with the Lord, the more the warnings and admonishments about falling away and deception take on a more significant meaning.  When you experience it firsthand, then it becomes a louder wake-up call to stay vigilant.

1Pe 5:8  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 

1Pe 5:9  Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 

Many are fallen into apostasy, going beyond what is written in their doctrine and selectively adding to or taking away from the Scriptures. If not corrected, such departure removes one from the Book of Life and entrance into the Holy City in this age.  Be forewarned.

Rev 22:18  For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 

Rev 22:19  And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. 

The commandments are the power of the Gospel; apart from them, we have no part with the Lord, instead building our spiritual house on sand.  Do not be deceived.

Mat 7:26  And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 

Mat 7:27  And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. 

We need to be circumspect in testing the spirits and trying the doctrines others bring to us.  As the Scriptures show us, carnal minds (Satan) are good at speaking half-truths and making spiritual writings or talks that, on the surface, appear godly to the undisciplined.  The Word of God is pure, and no lie is found in what is spoken to be the Truth.

1Jn 2:21  I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. 

The spirit of Satan is the spirit of man’s carnal mind which is opposed to the commandments of the Lord.  The father of all lies is a proud and lying spirit that sways many with their smooth words and a forked tongue.  A recurring experience is seeing brethren forget and now dismiss the Lord’s commandments and replace them with a mantra of “let us just love everyone” and accept everything.   Such a doctrine is not the way of Christ and most certainly is not what the Scriptures, the sum of them, teach us as doctrine.  Following these seductive lies keeps one from having eternal life and entering into the Holy City that is Jerusalem above.

Rev 22:14  Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 

Rebellious children are brethren (Israel) who have been ensnared by the lie and have no desire or ear to hear about the Lord’s commandments [The Law of the Lord].  A smooth sounding “feel good” gospel is their spiritual bread full of leaven, which leads away from the true Gospel.  All flesh wants to hear the wide and tolerant easy road versus the narrow path defined in the Scriptures.

Isa 30:8  Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:

Isa 30:9  That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:

Isa 30:10  Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits

In our day of the Lord (the latter times), we experience more brethren departing the faith and giving way to lies, such as the perverted concept of love in the world.

1Ti 4:1  Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 

We continue to pay a high price to walk with the Lord in terms of what we lose in this carnally-minded world.  It is such a blessing to be called and chosen to receive the blessing of the Lord.   We continue only as the Lord disciplines us to guard our gates and protect our crowns from the prevalent liars, thieves, and antichrists.    The last days are upon us now, and many antichrists IS COME disguised as angels of light.  We need to be on guard, try the spirits, and test the doctrines espoused by those who claim to be the Lord’s people.

1Jn 4:1  Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 

1Jn 4:2  Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 

1Jn 4:3  And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 

The Apostle John gives us many warnings and encourages the true church [The Elect Lady] explicitly to stay focused on loving the Lord [which is obeying the Lord’s commandments] and beware the many deceivers out there who would bring in false doctrines to lead us astray.  In this powerful Scripture from 2 John,  the Apostle defines godly love for us and starkly reminds us of a specific commandment we need to be exercising in faith to keep the prize of salvation.

2Jn 1:4  I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father. 

2Jn 1:5  And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. 

2Jn 1:6  And this is love, that we walk after his commandments.  This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. 

2Jn 1:7  For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh.  This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 

2Jn 1:8  Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 

2Jn 1:9  Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God.  He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 

2Jn 1:10  If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 

2Jn 1:11  For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. 

Flesh is naturally opposed to obeying the Lord [Gal 5:17] and resists the law of the Lord at every turn.  Jesus Christ, The WORD, is inseparable from His commandments.  Denying Jesus Christ is come in one’s flesh is denying that His commandments are alive and working righteousness by His divine power within us.   Those not staying the course will stray from the commandments, while those being saved in their day of the Lord will be pressing into those same commandments.

The Lord is surely creating these experiences as part of the all things He is working in the lives of every man.  Christ brings division in one realm as He winnows down His little flock in this age who are promised the kingdom of God.  In this age, there will be few given to endure to the end on the narrow way of salvation.  This feat is impossible with man, but with God, it is possible.  We should always pray for wisdom and discernment and keep our hearts on the commandments of the Lord.  Those commands include requirements to take action and do things contrary to what the carnally-minded world thinks about the meaning of love.  But we are not here to please the world or men, but only the Lord and the Scriptures say this.

Joh 14:15  If ye love me, keep my commandments. 

Jas 4:4  whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. 

The mark of a true disciple [“disciples indeed”] is the one keeping His commandments.  Staying our minds on those commands is how we are making our calling and election sure in the day of temptations.  If we want the Lord to come the Lord will put a spirit of obedience within us that will make the commandments, the true love of God, the focus of our walk.  Nothing else matters without this true love and this is how we know who belongs to the Lord and who does not.

Joh 14:21  He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 

Joh 14:24  He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me. 

It is so important that the Scriptures give us many warnings not to be deceived about who enters and who does not enter the kingdom of God.  We best remember the warnings to obey the Lord’s commandments, including not partaking in the apostasy of others.

Further Witness of the command to separate:

The fable of false love, which calls for accepting everyone and just going along to get along, is an insidious lie that steals one’s reward [the mind of Christ] in this age.  Twice rejected, we as Christ need to move on to be obedient to the Lord.

1Co 5:11  But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 

It is not “love” or “godly” to hang around and argue and contend over the most fundamental truths.  Instead, godly love is our obedience to the commandments to not engage with those the Lord has deceived.  We are to separate.

Tit 3:9  But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. 

Tit 3:10  A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;

When we are given to love God more than flesh feelings and emotions, we have the steadfastness to stand firm even amid great opposition.  We won’t give an inch and waver not in exercising our love [obedience] for God.  Separating even from brethren bringing false doctrines and polluted gospels is not just wise to do; it is a commandment of the Lord.

Rom 16:17  Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

Entering the kingdom of God is impossible by the will or strength of man.  It is all God’s work in the brethren; remember, it comes by us being caused to pay a high price.  This includes losing relationships and engaging contact we once valued with brethren we have walked with for years.

Luk 18:29  And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake, 

Luk 18:30  Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting. 

When this happens in our walk, Lord willing, we are obeying the commandments and not being trapped by the insidious lies of another gospel.  We yearn for reconciliation and repentance to our fallen brethren and know whether now or in the age to come; we will be reunited and be ONE in the faith.

The True Christ, the Commands is Not Attractive

The Babylonian or orthodox definition of love is attractive to flesh and draws people towards it.  Yet the true Christ and His Word are contrariwise NOT ATTRACTIVE to the flesh, and one is only drawn to Christ by the power of God.

Joh 6:44  No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. 

The commandments of the Lord [The Word,  Christ] are not esteemed by the carnally minded.  There is nothing about Jesus Christ, the WORD that flesh desires, and His Words were never intended to profit our flesh.

Isa 53:2  For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 

Isa 53:3  He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 

When we heed His Word and begin to do them (obey the commands), we enter into newness of life and start reaping the promises of salvation.

Joh 6:63  It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. 

As we mature, we more readily move beyond our sadness when brothers and sisters are swept away in apostasy.  We are also commanded to try to snatch them back from strange fire.  Yet if our words regarding the commandments are not received, we are commanded to move on as we saw above.  If we deny the Lord, He also denies us until repentance is granted. As our Lord is, so are we as His Christ in the world.  We are commanded to do the same as our Master does when the commandments are rejected.

2Ti 2:12  If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 

We learn that it is impossible to wake brethren to errors unless the Lord has mercy and opens their eyes to see it.  All we can do is preach the Gospel boldly; the rest is up to the Lord.

2Ti 4:2  Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 

2Ti 4:3  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 

2Ti 4:4  And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 

Let those who have been given ears to hear, hear these Truths and remain vigilant in the walk of faith.

Grace and peace to the Saints.

Heeding the Lord’s Commandments in Faith

Pete

Heeding the Lord’s Commandments in Faith

In giving us many of His reformed commandments under the Law of Faith, the Lord asks us why do we call Him Lord if we do not do what He says [e.g., obey Him].

Luk 6:46  And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? 

This is a good question the Lord asks of us, and we should ask ourselves often if we find ourselves not conforming our behavior to His spoken commandments.  While we by no means save ourselves [from sin], the narrow way of truth tells us we very much will need to be focused on doing the WORD, which means being obedient to the commandments the Lord has spoken.

 This exhortation is written with great humility and godly fear, as we are fully aware of our own shortcomings and failures.  We are thankful the Lord is merciful to awaken us to our deceit and sloth that has crept into our walk of faith.  As His called, chosen, and faithful ones, we are to be saviors to those in the world, but we cannot be saviors if we do not hold onto the Lord’s law and His precious Gospel.    The Lord is waking us up and putting His light in us, and the glory of the Lord is rising up within those He is saving.

Isa 60:1  Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 

Isa 60:2  For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. 

Isa 60:3  And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. 

We all fall asleep and grow weary.  But now is the time to arise.

Eph 5:14  Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. 

Eph 5:15  See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 

Eph 5:16  Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 

The resurrection of Christ in us is His very commands and words that are Spirit [Joh 6:63] rising up in power within His kingdom within us.  This is the power unto salvation to all who truly believe.  The rising up of Christ’s commandments with power is the heart of the Gospel and we are not ashamed to proclaim it to anyone.

Rom 1:16  For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 

Rom 1:17  For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. 

The further we progress with the Lord, the few disciples walking with us become even fewer.  Their falling away coincides with the increasing demands the Lord makes on us as we grow in knowledge and maturity.  Eating His flesh and drinking His blood by giving up our life in obedience to Him is not for many.

Joh 6:66  From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 

When the Lord comes, He brings division and, over time, calls out a tiny escaped remnant onwards to maturity.  All Jews first believe in the Lord, but amazingly so, the Lord can quickly take away the truth, and most wander away.  We have seen this manifest before, with many mighty in the faith falling away.  The Lord has empowered us to write boldly so we may snatch those sleeping from the fire that is taking them away from the Lord.  Lord willing, some are given to continue in His word who keep and hold dear His commandments, thus becoming “disciples indeed.”

Joh 8:31  Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 

Joh 8:32  And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 

Many have become confused over strivings over the law of Moses and how it applies under the law of faith.  If we are in Christ, that law is gone and has no application in our walk, having served its purpose of bringing us to Christ.

Rom 10:4  For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

The end of the carnal law for a carnal nation is not the end of the Lord’s reformed commandments that raise the bar for righteousness.  A walk of faith is the very beginning of the application of the new commandments of the Lord. We fear some have drifted from the truth in this age of separation and no longer believe in specific commands we must obey.  The words of Christ and the truth that is found in the “sum of the word” betray such a belief.

Joh 14:15  If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Our freedom from the law of carnal ordinances that defined the Law of Moses is not a license to sin.  True worshippers in truth, need to be loving God and others, which is defined as obeying the Lord’s commandments.

Gal 5:13  For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love [1Jo 5:3 – obeying the Lord’s commandments] serve one another. 

Failing to embrace the Lord’s commandments, many have departed from the Lord and reject those bringing the truth in hopes of awakening them from their slumber.  This is not a new experience as it is all warned about and foretold in the prophets.

Jer 44:10  They are not humbled even unto this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers. 

Jer 44:11  Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, and to cut off all Judah. 

 

Isa 5:24  Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel

The eternal law of the Lord never passes away.  This law referred to the law of Moses in the shadow of the OT, but it speaks of the law of Faith and the Lord’s commandments for the true spiritual Jews to come.   The entirety of the Old Testament ministration was not for the benefit of the Jews that lived back then; instead, it was all done for our benefit [1Pe 1:9-10], who would be born of the Spirit many years later.

1Co 10:11  Now all these things [the entire OT events] happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the age are come. 

Only the carnal law and ordinances (said to be “not good” and was only a means to bring us to Christ) were done away with on the cross.  If one is dying daily with Christ on the cross, they are following the law of the Lord of hosts.  Otherwise, we become castaways, says the Lord, who will cut us off.  Paul warned about being lazy and that we need to run the race to obtain the prize that is salvation.

1Co 9:27  But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. 

Seeing how quickly the Lord can take away the truth from His priests that were once cherished in our hearts is a fearful thing.  We have seen the Lord cut off many once mighty in the Lord, so we best be on guard to ensure the Lord’s commandments do not leave our consciousness.

Eze 7:26  Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients. 

Our professed faith is dead without the accompanying good works, and those works the Lord has purposed is that we obey His commandments.  New Testament witnesses also show that we must diligently walk the walk of faith [evidenced by our obedient works/deeds] all the way to the end, or else we will not make it.  Our love waxing cold is our obedience waxing cold; thus, we fall away slowly but surely.  Be on guard.

Mat 24:12  And because iniquity shall abound, the love [obedience] of many shall wax cold. 

Mat 24:13  But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 

All the Apostle letters and the Gospels consistently warn us that we must stay the course and be careful how we walk.  It is fearful seeing how such an essential truth and understanding as “we must obey the Lord’s commandments” can be taken out of one’s mind.

Heb 3:12  Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 

Heb 3:13  But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 

Heb 3:14  For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 

Do not forget the lessons we have been given to learn.

Jud 1:5  I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. 

We are called to do everything in the ability the Lord has given us to be conformed to His righteousness.   If we lose the zeal to engage in the fight, we have fallen from grace, and our faith is now dead and devoid of works.  Our obedience is a key part of the light others see in us when we exemplify Christ in our behavior.   We are to be a light unto the world, and here is how that is done.  Christ says to love all men as He has loved us, which means giving to all who ask.  Here more specifics are provided in a commandment that lives to this day.

Mat 5:44  But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 

Mat 5:45  That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 

Mat 5:46  For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye?  do not even the publicans the same? 

Mat 5:47  And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others?  do not even the publicans so? 

James gives an example of the commandment to do good to others, witnessing that our obedience to that command is the work the Lord seeks to prove our faith.   Faith in action manifests these works, which is the fruit of obedience.

Jas 2:14  What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works?  can faith save him? 

Jas 2:15  If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 

Jas 2:16  And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 

Jas 2:17  Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

Jas 2:18  Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 

Some want to argue that we do not save ourselves through our own works.  That is absolutely true, but we must embrace the sum of the Scriptures to find the whole truth that in harmony.  Yes, It is true that whether we rise or fall in obedience or disobedience, ultimately, that is still His work as salvation is of the Lord!  Yet we are admonished to strive/work for the higher calling.  The harmony of this is exemplified well in these verses.

Php 2:12  Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 

Php 2:13  For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 

We work out our own salvation [Phi 2:12] under the greater truth that the Lord is working all things, even our salvation [Phi 2:13].  Admonishing one another to be holy and resist that which causes us to disobey the Lord is the truth that is not contrary to the sum of the word.  Christ, Paul, John, Peter, and James all said that if our faith is true, we strive to be holy and obedient.  A sampling of Scriptures that are part of the sum of the word:

Mat 5:48  Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. 

Luk 6:40  The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. 

Rom 1:5  By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: 

Yes, “Christ living in us” gives us the overcoming in due season.  Yet the same Apostle tells us we have to work to manifest our obedience to Christ actively.  We have to walk and war in the Spirit; it is called the fight of faith to obey the Lord.

2Co 10:3  For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 

2Co 10:4  (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 

2Co 10:5  Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 

 

Heb 5:9  And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; 

 

1Pe 1:13  Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 

1Pe 1:14  As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: 

1Pe 1:15  But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 

1Pe 1:16  Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 

 

How can we obey without knowing or thinking about our Master’s commandments?  We pray all are awakened to the same error and sloth we were shown in ourselves.  Only by His mercy were we awakened and in obedience to Him, we now boldly speak this word.

Whether we accept the Lord’s truth and obey is all up to Him in the end.  But it is an egregious error to say we are free from commandments, and it is a subtle way of turning grace into a justification for a slothful walk (lasciviousness).  The error comes by twisting the Scriptures, confusing the law of Moses with the eternal words and commandments of the Lord.  Peter warned of this for our remembrance, as it takes just a few subtle lies to pervert the Gospel if we are not on guard.  We must always remain steadfast and zeroed in on obeying the Lord, defined as loving God and our brothers.

2Pe 3:16  As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. 

2Pe 3:17  Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. 

We should remember Christ suffered all the same temptations we face yet was without sin and, by doing so, provided us the prime example to follow.

1Pe 2:21  For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: 

Dwelling in obedience is dwelling in love, which is the same as dwelling in God and is how we are perfected in this age.

1Jn 4:16  And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us.  God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 

1Jn 4:17  Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 

Paul aptly addressed the misunderstandings of those coming out from the law of Moses into the law of Faith.  The lesson applies to all who come out of the carnal law and walk under the law of Faith.  We are not earning our salvation but proving our faith as we strive to obey the Lord and are given the overcoming in due time.

Rom 6:15  What then?  shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace?  God forbid. 

Rom 6:16  Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? 

Rom 6:17  But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine [Christ’s commands] which was delivered you

These warnings from John take on a new understanding once we are mercifully awakened from our sleep in Christ.   We must remain vigilant and guard against deception and a slow drift into a spiritual sleep that has us departing from the Lord’s commands.

1Jn 3:7  Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 

1Jn 3:9  Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 

1Jn 3:10  In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. 

Whether or not we complete our journey to overcome in this age is truly up to the Lord.  Yet we are always admonished to do everything we can to stand and resist the devil and the lusts of our flesh.   If we fail, we are to get right back up, keep walking, and pray to the Lord to overcome and that His kingdom comes to us.

Pro 24:16  For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

Christ’s Words and commandments are the light that cleanses us in our journey and brings others to the light of Christ in us.  To be a light unto the world, we need to walk in the light of Christ’s Words, including His commandments.  We hide that light from others when we are not following His commands yet continue to call Him Lord.  We are to show our good works (our obedience, our Godly Love) to others, which brings glory to our Father.  That is the light others will see.

Mat 5:16  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. 

If we do not know His commandments, we cannot keep them.  And if we do not keep them, we are told we do not know the Lord and His truth is not in us despite what we proclaim.  These are some humbling verses when we examine our walk and see ourselves falling way short of the Lord’s commandments.

1Jn 2:3  And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 

1Jn 2:4  He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 

I could provide numerous warnings about falling away and being overcome if we do not walk with vigilance and guard against the deceitfulness of disobedience.   We are told that not all given faith overcomes (makes it} in this age, and we best do all we can to ensure our calling and election.  Here is just one warning from Peter’s epistle for brevity.

2Pe 2:20  For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 

2Pe 2:21  For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 

One may ask, What is the Holy Commandment?  It is the one commandment the Lord gives that encapsulates all the others.  We must not turn from this but instead press into the details of the Holy commandment to become like Christ.  We all have been asleep.

Joh 13:34  A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 

Joh 13:35  By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. 

 

Joh 15:12  This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 

Joh 15:13  Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 

Joh 15:14  Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 

What is love, one may ask?  Scripture answers this key question.

1Jn 5:3  For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 

2Jn 1:6  And this is love, that we walk after his commandments.  This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. 

 

Rom 13:8  Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. [of Moses and the law of Faith]

Rom 13:10  Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. 

Paul gives a broader definition of Love [Charity] to the Corinthians that helps us examine our walk to see if we are doing these things increasingly in our walk.  The first and last verses of 1 Cor 13 are key, and remember that love is more important than faith and hope.  Love is greater because it is the fruit, or said another way, the result or the PROOF of living by faith.  Without love (obedience to Christ) in our walk, our ministry is nothing but a clanging cymbal.  Nothing is more important than Love.

1Co 13:1  Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 

1Co 13:2  And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 

1Co 13:3  And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 

1Co 13:4  Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 

1Co 13:5  Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 

1Co 13:6  Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 

1Co 13:7  Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 

1Co 13:8  Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 

1Co 13:9  For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 

1Co 13:10  But when that which is perfect is come [Christ in our Day of the Lord], then that which is in part shall be done away. 

1Co 13:11  When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 

1Co 13:12  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. 

1Co 13:13  And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. 

Obedience to the commandments is directly tied to loving our brothers and sisters inside and outside the faith.  Laying down our lives for others is a commandment from the Lord in following His example.  We cannot exhibit these behaviors Paul uses to describe LOVE (i.e., be patient, kind, and bearing all things, etc.] without holding them close to our hearts as commandments by which we shall live.

In closing, it is by faith that we are being justified in the eyes of the Lord; it is not by our own works that are just filthy rags.  Our obedience is the good works that are pleasing to our Lord and bring glory to His name.  We should strive to please Him and bring glory to the God we say we love.

2Th 2:14  Whereunto he called you by our Gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

2Th 2:15  Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. 

When we fast from our fleshly lust and pray for the Lord to come, which themselves are commandments, He is faithful to reward us with overcoming our sins.  The result is we grow in Christ, and the glory of the Lord, our obedience, and the true light arise within us.

Isa 58:8  Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward. 

The faithful in Christ will not be sleeping; they actively work on their salvation and strive to be like our Holy and perfect heavenly Father.  It is not enough to be a hearer only and claim our freedom by our faith, we must indeed become a doer and obeyers of the Word of the Lord.

Jas 1:22  But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 

Jas 1:25  But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. 

Lord willing, we prove ourselves as followers of Christ and hold precious His commandments, that is His law.  It is on those commandments that we put our thoughts day and night.

Psa 1:1  Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 
Psa 1:2  But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 

When we do this, the fruits of the Spirit will spring forth, and we shall prosper in the Lord.  But the ungodly, who cast away the law of the Lord (in error), will be driven away by the winds of deceit.

Psa 1:3  And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. 
Psa 1:4  The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Beware that one is not driven away from the living God by forsaking His eternal commandments.

May the Lord give an understanding of these words of truth which have been boldly proclaimed in this letter.  We pray for all and that the Lord’s will be done and that His blessing falls upon us as we admit our faults to Him.

Blessed be the Lord of our salvation.

Another Jesus – Babylon’s False Christs’

Pete

There are no photographs of Jesus Christ retained from the days of His ministry prior to the ascension into the heavens.  All the photos, paintings and faces men see of the man Jesus Christ are in fact another jesus.  The real Jesus certainly did not have long hair (1 Cor 11:14) and he certainly was not “good looking” or attractive such that the world would esteem him; yet our culture has been overtaken by these false images of Jesus Christ.

Isa 53:2  For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 

Isa 53:3  He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 

 It works this way for God’s Elect to this very day.  The Body of Christ (The Elect) like the Lord, their head, will not be esteemed and to the carnal mind appear to have nothing that is desired by the flesh.  Christ’s own that HE chooses out of the world (which is the church) will not be esteemed by men.  Anyone with a following or drawing in the crowds is certainly not a disciple of Jesus Christ. Those in Christ will be considered fools by the wisdom and logic of this world.

1Co 1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

1Co 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty

Yet here we are in 2014 and  multi-billions of people call themselves Christians and genuinely believe they worship God and His Son Jesus Christ.  Yet the Jesus these billions follow in Orthodox Christianity is the “other” jesus Paul wrote about.  It is a jesus based on the FLESH and the carnal mind.  The carnal mind is at enmity with God and as a result there is no unity of the faith in orthodox Christianity, their doctrines are all over the map and that has resulted in thousands of denominations.

2Co 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity (the ONENESS) that is in Christ.

2Co 11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

The Church Apostasy Was Complete 2,000 Years Ago

Many believe there is going to be some big revival before Jesus comes to set up His reign on this physical earth for the symbolic 1,000 years.  Both of these beliefs are lies and there is a study series on Exposing the Millennium Reign Doctrine that can be found by CLICKING HERE.

But the little flock, the few there be that shall find the way, have come to know (or they will as they mature) that real faith is quite rare.

Luk 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

Isa 13:12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.

False Christ’s and other jesus’s and many different gospels had already invaded the early church when the Bible was still being written. None of us had any chance to come to the truth first, we were born into startling and absolute apostasy based on the traditions and false doctrines of Orthodox Christianity. We have many statements that tell those with ears to hear that the churches we were all born into and raised were the apostate churches, the very deceptions warned and foretold in many passages including these:

Mat 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many

John and his converts were kicked out of the church as the apostasy spread.

3Jn 1:9 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

3Jn 1:10 Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.

Paul had warned clearly what was “soon” to take place.  Nobody took heed and neither does anyone today.

Act 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

Act 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

Act 20:30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

ALL the churches and all they in Asia forsook Paul and fell into apostasy.

2Ti 1:15 This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

People think the Protestant Reformation was a good thing (LOL).  All it did was serve to add a whole new layer of apostasy and deception, line upon line precept upon precept, so the people would go backwards and be snared and taken (Isa 28:13).  Even the beloved Titus fell away into fornicating with the world.

2Ti 4:10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.

2Ti 4:11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.

It was far worse than just Alexander the coppersmith,  it was ALL.  The road is indeed narrow and lonely by the world’s standards.

Joh 6:66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

The carnal mind that is drawn to Christ will of course consider the falling away and the great apostasy as some future event that foretells the end of this physical world. But such is not the case and here is what has happened since the above warnings about another jesus were first written.

2Ti 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

Even the basic tenants of the true gospel, THE MILK, have been poisoned by the organized churches of men. There is not one single truth I learned correctly in any of my years in Catholic or Methodist churches. All is leavened and the Scriptures even tell us this is the case, it is the Lord’s plan.  Bread and water refer to the truth of God’s word and it has all been removed.

Isa 3:1 For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,

Isa 3:2 The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,

Isa 3:3 The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.

Isa 3:4 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes (carnal ones) shall rule over them.

The Elect of God still in Babylon are ruled over by carnal babes who are the very ministers and teachers in all of orthodox Christianity. It is hard to fathom with the carnal mind, but we are told there are 200 MILLION lies or false doctrines in Babylon.

Rev 9:16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.

Babylon being all the institutions of religion of men be that Christian, Jewish, Muslin, Buddhist, Hindu, Athieism, and others, still this number is unfathomable which is why being outside of Christ is said to be utter darkness.    With so many lies, the difficulty is picking the top 39 to briefly comment on in this post, so here it goes.

All of these false doctrines are how we first come to know “Jesus” thru the apostate churches that are in the wilderness and separated from the one true God. These many called but not chosen have not yet been given the gift of faith nor have their hearts been prepared to hear the truth.

Psa 10:17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

Yet God’s Elect, the few chosen that do have the truth will speak the truths to those God puts into their path. And it is thru the foolishness of us preaching and sharing these truths that are hated and rejected of men by which a few will be saved. They will hear the words of Christ we speak and will come out of Babylon.

Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

Rom 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Some will hear and there is great joy in heaven when even one lost sheep among thousands is found by the foolishness of our preaching.

Mat 13:9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

All of these doctrines run together and cannot be separated. This is because the Scriptures cannot be broken and they are the very foundation, the bones upon which the Body of Christ thrives. Lord willing I will add more to this in the future but I had to start somewhere.

Joh 10:35 … the scripture cannot be broken

None of Babylon’s false doctrines have any support in Scriptures properly divided.  We must test everything and try the spirits to see if they are of God.  The apostasy is not some future event,  you and me were born into it, hundreds of years after the fact.

1Jn 4:1  Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 

Of course, the Lord must first give us ears to hear and a love for the truth before we can have the ability to try the spirits. But anyone reading this blog in depth is likely to be there or be close as the Spirit of the Lord is stirring your heart to seek out the truth.  I encourage you to dig deep and you will be amazed at how wide and pervasive are the lies we all first come to know about God.  The treasure in the WORD is the true doctrines and they are hidden from carnal eyes and lazy spirits.  We must dig for them and I hope you have that zeal for the things of God.

Pro 25:2  It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. 

Joh 2:17  And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up. 

What the carnal babes who rule in Babylon fail to consider are some essential and immutable facts of God’s words that they must not violate when seeking the truth. These include.

Psalm 119:160  The sum of Thy word is truth.  It is the SUM, not some of God’s word which is true.  Taking part of the word to the exclusion of other parts is a guaranteed way of being ensnared by the cords of Babylon’s false doctrines.

2 Peter 1:20  Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private (its own) interpretation.   Don’t try to take a scripture and build a doctrine on it like eternal hell when we are clearly shown God’s mercy endures forever.  This is sure fire clue you have a bad translation from the apostates who preceded you by 2,000 years.  The whole approach to preaching in orthodox churches is to read scripture then spend 30 minutes rambling with carnal wisdom on what that Scripture means.  To understand a Scripture one must look to other Scriptures, bringing multiple witnesses and treasure out of both the old and new testaments.  Lord willing you will come out from the rule of the carnal babes masquerading as teachers of the faithful.

 1 Cor 2:13  Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. The carnal mind likes to compare physical to spiritual or physical to physical.  Don’t do it, it is a sure fire way to stay in darkness regarding the doctrines of Jesus Christ.

Exposing The Trinity Doctrine

Pete

 

Joh 4:24 God is Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

I have received several emails and comments over time from people that like me were raised in the traditions of the Orthodox churches of men.   In particular I have seen verses from Isaiah 9 thrown out and taken by themselves to justify the false doctrine of the Trinity or even the Oneness doctrine that Jesus and God the Father are one and the same being.  This carnal tradition has NO basis in Scripture as God and the “Godhead” is most certainly not a co-equal trinity.  That like all of Babylon’s doctrines is false.  Here is an example of the comments I have received on this issue.

Pete,  This one verse in Isaiah, speaks to me of the triune nature of Almighty God. Isaiah spoke of the child, Lord Jesus, and referred to Him as the Everlasting Father, as well as Counselor, whom we know as Holy Spirit.  It is by faith that I believe in this triune nature of the one true living God

Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Dear R______________ It will prove very valuable to your knowledge and walk with the Lord to come to understand and apply the principle that the SUM OF God’s word is truth.

Psa 119:160 The sum of Your word is truth

So what you are doing R_____________ and we all do when we are still in Babylon and under the influence of its 200 million false doctrines is we will take Scripture and make it of its own interpretation. Lord willing, you will stop doing it.

2Pe 1:20 (CLV) knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture at all <strong>is becoming its own explanation.

When we head butt Scripture or pick and choose verses to the exclusion of others we have not the truth. A little leaven leavens the whole lump. Even Satan when contending with Christ in the flesh used Scripture of its own private interpretation but was no match for the truth that Christ who is, was and will be thru His Body.  Believing in a trinity is a 100% guarantee one will not know who Jesus Christ is because He is not part of a Trinity. A Trinity Jesus is another jesus, a tradition of an apostate church passed down over the centuries.  The Bible is full of many contradictions to the carnal mind which is why it takes the gift of faith and God given ears to hear and not man’s delusion of free will to come to knowledge of the truth. Believe the sound words of the Lord.

Mat 13:16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
Mat 13:17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

Not all hear and as Christ spoke,  it is not about our will as many have desired to see and hear the truth but have remained spiritually blind and deaf to the truth.   That is simply because many are called and few are chosen.  It is stated that the multitudes would be blinded and made deaf and only the Elect would be given ears to hear and eyes to see.  This infuriates carnal men but is indeed the way of the Lord.

Rom 11:7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded

Loving our neighbor includes telling the truth and that is what we are doing by exposing the lie of the trinity doctrine.  If God will grant to you the understanding of His word and you apply the SUM, not some of it, you will see that the trinity has no truth in it whatsoever and is another jesus and a false god. The Scriptures you cite from Isaiah 9 are very true, every jot and tittle. But so are the rest of the Scriptures that make very clear that Jesus is not part of any trinity. He is the Lord and proceeded from His God and His Father. God created Christ and Christ in turn created everything that was made. Christ was created and then in turn was used to bring all that exists into creation.  So from that perspective Jesus is our Everlasting Father and in Him we all have our being.

Col 1:15-16  Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 

Act 17:25  Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 

Act 17:28  For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring

So yes Jesus is deity and is to be worshipped, worthy of all our praises.  Jesus was given all authority in heaven and on earth and He will rule until the consummation of the ages.  But Christ is not God the Father, that is the error of the Oneness movement.

Coming Out of Babylon

It is up to the Lord to open ears and prepare hearts to receive the true word. Nobody comes to the real Jesus Christ unless they are dragged out of Babylon. Nobody leaves Babylon on their own initiative without the absolute causation by the Lord.. We will live these words in our appointed times and will only come out of her when God has ordained it from the beginning.  God will cause it to happen thru the Lord in the appointed times.

Ezr 1:1 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
Ezr 1:2 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
Ezr 1:3 Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the LORD God of Israel, (he is the God,) which is in Jerusalem.
Ezr 1:4 And whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.
Ezr 1:5 Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit God had raised, to go up to build the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem.

God is doing it all thru Christ.  The Lord is the Potter, we are the clay.  He makes us willing, we have no will of our own to come to Christ.  We must be dragged to Him as Christ said in John 6:44 which is exactly the story of old.

Exo 35:21 And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD’S offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments.

And please remember that ALL these things in Ezra, Exodus and all the OT were written not for them but for our admonition upon whom the ends of the ages had come, 2000 years ago.

1Co 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the AGE (Aion) are come

1Pe 1:12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

All I can do and will do R____ is to speak the truth and know very few will be given the ears to hear it. I will not contend with you on this matter because we have already played out many admonitions. But since the Lord sent you here, it was not your free will, I will reply with the truth about the TRINITY.

Pro 16:1 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.

Pro 20:24 Man’s goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?
Jer 10:23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
Isa 64:8 But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand
Isa 44:24 Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;

So here for your edification is an excerpt of a note I sent to a guy in Australia who was also ensnared by the doctrines of Babylon including the very same trinity, eternal torment and free will doctrines that have you bound. Here is the note.

Dear S__________

Thank you for your comment and yes God has given me an ability to write and to explain things. All things are from God thru Christ, even the ability to speak and write. All things we do are from God, we are indeed the works of His hands and all that we do, good, bad, evil or otherwise is ALL from the Lord.

Jer 10:23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

Rom 11:36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever.

Php 2:13 For it is God (NOT YOU) which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Yes even our very sins are given to pieces of clay by the Potter so we can be chastened in due time.

Isa 63:17 O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear?

But my purpose here is not to show the myth of man’s free will but instead is to answer your comment and hopefully give you words of truth that will make very clear that the Trinity is a false doctrine. All the Scriptures you cited are true, they are wonderful. But the truth only comes from the SUM OF THY WORD.

Psa 119:160 The sum of Your word is truth, And all of Your righteous ordinances are eonian.

The Scriptures and the sum of the word makes clear who Jesus is. He is not God per se but is the son of God just as we are told. We will see later that Jesus has been given, delegated all authority and placed above all things and given the name above all names, even the name of Almighty God.  Yet there is no clearer Scripture on the Godhead than this one.

1 Cor 8:6 but to us there is but one God the Father of whom are all things and we in Him, and one Lord Jesus Christ BY whom are all things and we in Him

There it is plain and simple.  Where is this coequal third person of the trinity? Paul was making a clear statement of what is clearly shown throughout Scripture once the fog and blinders of Babylonian doctrine are removed by God.  If only we can learn to heed this statement by Paul and not even think above what is written, we would less susceptible to false doctrines..

1Co 4:6 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.

The Trinity or a truine God IS NOT WRITTEN.

If one does a word search on the entire bible you will not find the word TRINITY or TRIUNE anywhere.  The searches say no verses found. The Trinity is simply not true.  Here is what Biblegateway search will return.

No results found.

No results were found for trinity in the version(s):King James Version.
Try refining your search using the form above.

It is as simple as knowing that the one true God first created Christ and in turn Christ created the world and Adam.

Rev 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

CHRIST was created first, then Christ then created everything else “in the beginning”.  That is what Paul taught.

Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

Christ is the image of God.   An image of something is not the something.  It is merely a reflection of the object.  Jesus Christ is how God, who is Spirit has chosen to reveal Himself to us.  That is the blessed truth.  It is thru Christ that God chooses to reveal Himself and we should know that God is Spirit.  So the Spirit of God is revealed thru Jesus Christ.  Yet these Scriptures that say Christ was created by God are true. Christ was created by God.  ALL OF IT IS TRUE and to get the truth of who Christ is we must apply the sum of God’s word. But even God must grant us that, we can only hear the words with God given ears to hear.

Psa 10:17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

Job 33:16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction

Not everyone has ears to hear. In fact very few, only God’s very Elect. But that is a topic that has been addressed elsewhere but also is the truth per the sum of God’s word.

Mat 13:9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Mat 13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
Mat 13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

Understanding Christ and His relationship to God is not complicated if we can get past the lies of Babylon. Very many places the Apostles spoke of who Christ was in contrast to God.

Eph 1:16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
Eph 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

As blasphemous as it sounds to those raised in Babylon doctrines, which will be all of us, Jesus has a God. Jesus was the first born of all creation. Jesus is the Lord and God gave Him all authority in heaven and in earth and gave Him the names that you cite from Isaiah 9. But that does not change the truth that God is the Father and Jesus is the Son of God. The sum of thy word is truth. Christ not being God Himself thought it not robbery to be considered equal because He was full of the measure of the Spirit of God.

Php 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Php 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

God created Christ and in turn Christ created everything else. Yet Christ makes clear He is not His Father nor is He God.He tells Mary His physical mother that He was going to His Father and His God.

Joh 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

That is right Jesus has a God! There it is again and He said so Himself and so did the Apostles many places. This does not deny the deity of Jesus Christ, HE IS THE LORD, but to consider Jesus the ONE GOD and The Father is not true nor is it supported by Scripture.

To the carnal mind and one still infected with Babylonian doctrine this will sound like blasphemy, but it is the truth we will clearly see when we are given eyes to see and hear to hear. Many are called but few are given to know the truth of the kingdom of God. It is indeed a blessing that falls upon few.

Rom 11:7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded

I share these truths that have been GIVEN to me with great joy, knowing few will have ears to ear.

WHO IS YAHWEH?

I am sure you like I did and everybody does, will still believe that Yahweh is the Father. No, Yahweh was Jesus Christ. He is the great I AM that spoke to Moses. Christ Himself told us that no one has ever seen or heard from the Father.

Joh 5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

Yahweh spoke and was seen by many Patriarchs, He wrestled with Jacob. Yahweh is Christ as we are told in this Scripture.

In the Scriptures from 1 Peter below, we are told that it was the Spirit of Christ ministering to the Prophets and they were not writing or speaking for the edification of the people that lived back then, but for Gods Elect upon whom the ends of the age would come after the resurrection. This is huge if you can receive it.

1Pe 1:10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
1Pe 1:11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
1Pe 1:12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

Peter tells us it was Christ doing all the work thru His prophets. It was not some third person that was co equal.  Christ is how the Father has chosen to reveal Himself, that is what Christ said and the sum of the word tell us. The carnal mind will naturally ask how can One God be God and yet Christ be the God Of the Old Testament? God is in Christ and Christ is in God. This is how there is “one God.”.

Joh 10:38 …though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

John 14:20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

So all the Scriptures cited taken by themselves, in violation of the sum of thy word could certainly and have been used to sell the trinity or oneness doctrine to the multitudes of the many called. But neither are true. We must take the whole counsel of God and know that no prophecy of Scripture can be interpreted on its own.

2Pe 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of it own interpretation.

We must put line upon line and precept upon precept and if we do that, it is easily seen that the trinity is an insidious false doctrine as is the oneness dogma. Both are another jesus. If you can see the spiritual message and the types and shadows in the story of Joseph in Egypt from the Book of Genesis, you will learn of the relationship that God has with the Son. We can begin to understand who Christ is, was and will be if we understand the relationship of Joseph and that he is a type of Christ and His Elect. This is an essential verse which defines the position of Christ to God.

Genesis 41:40 (Pharaoh speaking to Joseph, God speaking to Christ) thy shall be over my house and according to thy word shall all my people be ruled, only in the throne shall I (God) be greater than thou (Christ)

Genesis 41:41 and Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have set you over all the land that is Egypt

This is exactly what God has done with Christ.

Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

In fact we see in 1 COR 15 that after the reconciliation of all things, Jesus will turn the kingdoms back over to His Father and His God, so God may be all in all. Please read 1 Cor 15:25-28 very carefully and this will make no sense if God is a trinity of Jesus is the Father. Jesus is not the Father, He is the son of God, the first fruits unto GOD just as the Scriptures state. Christ will reign until the times designated by God, HIS GOD and The Father.

1Co 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. (NOTE CHRIST’s REIGN WILL END)
1Co 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
1Co 15:27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.

When this happens in the age to come, then the SON will be subject to God so that God may be all in all. Here it is in black and white.

1Co 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

Being subject to someone makes one less than the head. God DELEGATED to Christ, HIS SON all authority and set gave to Him all the names we often quote from Isaiah 9.  Right now Christ is the head of His Body and HE is ruling in heaven and on the earth both for the inward and outward. But He most certainly not is part of any trinity.

Christ will be subject to God who put all things under Christ for the ages that precede the restitution of all things. The Godhead is simply GOD and the Jesus the Son of God. There is no third person nor is Jesus and God the Father equal. Don’t believe me but please believe the words of Christ.

Joh 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

Trinity proponents violate the sum of God’s word hundreds of time to support their flesh doctrine and another jesus. The Apostles were not confused on who Christ was and how He fit in with God. Peter asks for a blessing for the GOD of the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ has a God, the Father. He is not God (no oneness) and He is not equal (Trinity). Both are lies and inventions of the harlot churches.

1Pe 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

There are very many more of these verses but I encourage you to go search them in the New Testament Epistles where Christ and God the Father are spoken of in the same sentence.  Christ is the revelation of the Father but He is not the Father.  God chose to reveal His glory and make known His presence thru His Son.  But this does not make Jesus into the Oneness God or the Trinity God of Babylon.

The Spirit of Christ is the comforter. Christ was given the Spirit of God and that is how it could be said they were one. In the same way, those that have Christ in them are one with the Father and Christ.

John 20:21 As My Father sent me, so I send you (my disciples)

The Father put His Spirit in Christ and sent Him to save the world, That is what Christ has done with His Elect, He has put His Spirit in this little flock in each generation and sent them to save the world. They are HIS BODY.

Eph 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
1Co 6:15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ?

It is thru Christ in us, that we do even greater works than Christ did when He walked the earth in a body of sinful flesh yet without sin. The Holy Spirit is the comforter, which is Jesus Christ sitting on the throne in heaven, which is inside of His Elect. See Luke 17:20-21.

Omission of the Holy Spirit in the conversation

It can be discovered that Matthew 28:19 was tampered with by men in the flesh and the words The Father, the Son and Holy Spirit were added in later versions. Such a way of baptizing was in direct conflict with what the apostles actually did in all the stories in the Book of Acts. They never baptized in that name and it can be shown, those words were added but that is beyond the scope here. God has purposefully hidden His truths and it is the honor of His Elect that we search it out.

Pro 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

But let’s end this discussion with a reminder of how often a reference to this supposed co equal Holy Spirit is omitted in the discussions of God and His Son Jesus. I could put up scores of Scriptures that speak of the Father and the Son, but omit any mention of this so called co equal third part of the Godhead, called the Holy Spirit. Here is just one of them, but there are many.

Joh 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

Where is the Holy Spirit? Now according to what “the many” teach, Christ completely left out a very important “person” in this statement. Here is another very important matter but again nary a mention of this co equal third person the Holy Spirit.

Mat 24:36 Now, concerning that day and hour no one is aware, neither the messengers of the heavens, nor the Son; except the Father only.”

Where is the Holy Spirit, the third part and co equal member of the Godhead?  The Holy Spirit if a person, which it is not, certainly gets short changed for supposedly being co-equal.

THE COMFORTER

Let me end this note with a quick discussion on the Comforter. If we believe in the trinity we still do not know who Jesus Christ is nor do we yet understand what the Scriptures teach for those with hears to hear.  It indeed takes some time to have all of Babylon’s false doctrines exposed and be burnt up by the fire of the true word of God.  If we do not know who Christ truly is we will not be abiding in eternal (AIONIOUS) life now. Having eternal life is knowing who the true God is and who is His Son Jesus Christ.

Joh 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

Do you see the “and” there. It is very important. God is the one true God and Jesus Christ is whom (the Lord) God has sent and given the name above all names and all authority as we have already seen. Many are called but only a few are chosen to be given the knowledge of the mysteries of God. Few would argue that the Comforter is the Holy Spirit.But what most do not realize is that Scripture makes clear this is Christ in us. The Holy Spirit is Christ in us the hope of Glory. It is not some third co equal person of the trinity. Here is a key Scripture that drives this point home in the sum of thy word. Unfortunately, the carnal KJV translators were led to use the word Advocate here for the same word translated Comforter every other time.

1Jn 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate(G3875) with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

an advocate G3875

G3875
παράκλητος
paraklētos
par-ak’-lay-tos
An intercessor, consoler: – advocate, comforter.

This word is used four other places and in all cases is translated COMFORTER. So the advocate and the comforter are one in the same. It is Jesus Christ, it is not some third part of the Godhead. The comforter is Christ in you, if Christ is really in you. Here are the other four places where this Greek word paraklētos is used and refers to the Spirit of Christ, not a co equal part of the Godhead.

Joh 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter G3875, that he may abide with you for ever;

Joh 14:26 But the Comforter G3875, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Joh 15:26 But when the Comforter G3875 is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

Joh 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter G3875 will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

Jesus Christ is the Spirit of Truth. We know the Spirit of truth from the spirit of error (the other jesus’s) based on how one receives the words we as God’s Elect speak.

1Jn 4:5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
1Jn 4:6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we thespirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

I hope you are hearing. If the Holy Ghost, the hagios pneuma, which is the Comforter, the parakleetos, is really Christ in us, then there should be a scripture that calls Christ the parakleetos. It so happens that there is just such a scripture which we have shown from 1 John 2:1 above. But you would never know it by simply reading your King James Bible. We need to dig deep for the treasures of God if we are His kings and priests.  We saw this earlier but is worthy of a second mention.

Pro 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

The Comforter (parakleetos )…is the Holy Ghost…which is the Spirit of God revealed thru Christ, CHRIST IN YOU THE HOPE OF GLORY.

1 John 2:1 My little children, these things I write unto you that you sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate (parakleetos – not even capitalized here in the KJV) with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous

The Deity of Christ

There it is once again stated straight out. Jesus Christ is the parakleetos, the Comforter which is revealed to us thru the Spirit of God, the Holy Ghost.  God is Spirit and Christ is the vehicle thru whom God reveals Himself to us.  It is thru Christ.  The carnal mind can’t accept the seeming contradictions but there are many.  We are both sons of God and at the same time the bride of Christ as just one example.  Christ is the revelation of the Father but is not the Father even though He has been given that name.  Christ only spoke what the Father gave Him to speak and as such is the word of God.  

Joh 12:49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

The one giving commandments is the superior.  God sent Christ and Christ in turns sends His Body.  As He is, so shall His Elect be.

1Jn 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

John 20:21 As My Father sent me, so I send you

All things are in the hands of Christ.  Look at these Scriptures, and maybe you can understand that Christ is God but yet He is not God, He is the LORD.  He was sent by the Father and in turn He sends His Elect.  Yet as the creator, Christ is in charge having been given ALL AUTHORITY.  

Rom 11:36  For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen. 

There are NO EXCLUSIONS to all things.  It means ALL THINGS.  On Mars Hill Paul told us of the deity of Jesus Christ.  My hope is you will be given the faith to believe all of these words which tell us of the absolute sovereignty of God and the Lord over the affairs of men.  Free will is another lie these words destroy.

Act 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
Act 17:25 Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
Act 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
Act 17:27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
Act 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Act 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.

So Christ is the Lord.  He is the creator of all after Himself and in that sense He is the everlasting Father in Isaiah 9:6.  He is our Savior sent by God and He is certainly worthy of our praises.  Praise the LORD!

Psalm 34:1  I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

I challenge you to find even a hint of a verse where Christ claimed to be the son of the Holy Spirit even though it is a fact that we are told that he was conceived “of the Holy Spirit.”

Matt 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

Luke 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

We must test the spirits which means to test the doctrines of people that speak the things of God to us. If we do this, and if we are given ears to hear and eyes to see, we will not be deceived any longer by false doctrines such as the trinity, eternal hell, free will, the fall of man and 200,000,000 other lies of Babylon per Revelation 9.

Rev 9:16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.

1Jn 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

The trinity flunks the test, it is not even close if one is given a love for the truth and a spirit of a Berean. The first step to coming out of Babylon is acknowledging we were wrong and have believed lies. The pride of the beast that lives within all of us, will stubbornly resist doing that, even when we clearly shown the truth of the Scriptures. Is all in the hands of God when Christ is going to make war on that beast and false prophet within us.

Early Church Was Already Fallen Away

There is no support for the trinity anywhere in the Scriptures, it is a carnal invention of men and the apostate church. Before the bible was even finished being written, the “early church” had already fallen away. This merely served God to fulfill Scripture and have all of us live by every word, which includes first falling away into strong delusion and believing the lies.

Isa 28:13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

Each of us, you and me included will most certainly live by those words as we will all of them. The trinity is just one way God has kept the multitudes in strong delusion but we all are first taught the carnal traditions of the fallen away church that have been passed down for 2000 years and wax worse and worse with time.

2Ti 1:15 This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

2Ti 4:10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.

2Ti 4:16 At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge.

3Jn 1:9 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

Act 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
Act 20:30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

So this makes the words of Christ, words we all will live by every word, more relevant to us personally. We all come thru Babylon to get to the truth.

Mat 15:3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
Mat 15:7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
Mat 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
Mat 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

All of us are born carnal, totally blind and deaf spiritually speaking. If and when we are called in this life, we will first have to go spend our appointed 70 years, symbolically in Babylon. Then if the Lord has mercy, we will be healed and hear the voice to come out of her and then we are given the eyes to see the truth.

THE TRINITY IS A LIE.  Those that speak the truth are not denying the ‘deity” of Christ which is often the carnal minded response to being told this truth. Idols of heart are so very hard to let go of. Calling Jesus LORD, or even Almighty God or my Creator, which He is all of these does not deny His deity. Such concern is an invention of Babylon to hide the truth in their lie of the trinity. Those that believe Christ is a trinity are carnal babes who know Christ for now only in the flesh. They will ultimately have the trinity burned out of them in the day of their judgment be that now or at the second resurrection. Few will be given the ears to receive the truth.

Mat 22:14  For many are called, but few are chosen.

We all have to come thru strong delusion and be dragged out of there in our appointed times to the truth. Having false doctrines like that one burned out of us will come if we are God’s Elect. If you can come to see the trinity is false it will be a very good things as that false doctrines is the support beam upon which many other lies of Babylon are supported. Remove that support and many others false doctrines will follow and be burned up in the fire of the truth. The Trinity is easy to spot as a lie if we search out the treasure God has hidden in His word.
