How Many Gods?

Those that defend the doctrine of the Trinity use verses to prove that since there is “only one God”, then Jesus must in fact be capital “g”: God. (Just for reference sake, when I say “person” in this article I am not referring to a human being but a person in the grammatical sense of the word or as an entity, especially since God is a spirit, or whatever he is, and not human.)

Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I [am] the first, and I [am] the last; and beside me no God… Is there a God beside me? yea, [there is] no God; I know not [any]. (Isa 44:6-8)

I [am] the LORD, and none else, no God beside me… (Isa 45:5)

…and no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; none beside me. …Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I [am] God, and none else. (Isa 45:21-22)

…and thou shalt know no god but me: for no saviour beside me. (Hos 13:4)

My Father is IN Me

And just as the Father was IN Jesus, he prayed that the Father would be IN them in the same way that he and his Father were one. So was he praying that all his disciples would be God?

That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. (Jn 17:21)

The Word was God

But the reason he is known as the Word is that what was taught to Jesus by his Father was the only thing that came out of the mouth of Jesus. He lived, breathed, taught, lived and died for the Word of God that he received from his Father.

This was a very fitting metaphorical title to apply to Jesus. Jesus is called the Word of God. Literally speaking, the Words of God are the words spoken by God, that proceed from the mouth of God. Being a metaphor, what Jesus has in common with the the Word is that he learned the Word of God from his Father; he came to earth with a message that was the Word that he brought from His Father; he lived the Word of God; he taught the Word of God and risked his life for the Word of God.

The phrase, “Jesus is the Word of God” is obviously not literal. It is used as a metaphor because of what he was, who he was, and what he did. Jesus and his Father are not one and the same. Continue reading

Isaiah 53

The so-called “Suffering Servant” story of Isaiah 53 has long been by considered Christologists to be a messianic prophecy, or about Jesus the Messiah. There are passages in this chapter that that sound like prophecies about the life and death of the Jesus. However, there are some very problematic parts of it that seem to make it impossible to be a prophecy about the future “sacrifice” of Jesus and more about the nation of Israel. Continue reading

Lamb Of God Part 2

Is one’s sins forgiven and taken away or not?

This is very confusing. Is one’s sins forgiven and taken away or not? It seems that the bible says both. However, even though God and Jesus forgive sins, the bible shows that one must pay for his own sins. (See: Lamb of God Part 1) If there is no demand of punishment for offenses, then how is it that a man must reap what he sows, receive things done in his body whether good or bad, few or many stripes for unfaithfulness whether worthy of punishment or not? Continue reading

Davidic Lineage through Solomon

Royal Lineage had to be through King Solomon not Nathan The primary and foremost criteria for Jesus to qualify as the Messiah is that he be a descendant of king David with Solomon, David’s son in the lineage. If Jesus’ … Continue reading
