One God and One Lord Jesus Christ

One God and One Lord

The Scriptures plainly teach that “there is but ONE GOD, THE FATHER, …. and ONE LORD JESUS CHRIST” (I Corinthians 8:6). The only absolute God is “the Father,” and He has NO equals. The Lord Jesus Christ is a part of His creation; the Spirit is an expression meaning God’s spirit. Christendom’s teaching of the Trinity does great dishonor to both the Father and His Son, diminishing the true glory that belongs uniquely to each.

“The man Christ Jesus” (I Timothy 2:5), is "the Christ, the Son of the living God” (John 6:69). The Scripture does not support a view of Jesus Christ as “God incarnate,” “God the Son,” or a pre-existent divine visitor. A combination of misguided theology and pagan speculation is responsible for the intrusion of Christianity’s unbiblical doctrines concerning Christ.

It is translated “ sonship ” in the Concordant, Rotherham, Moffatt and Diaglott (“ son-setting ” in the Dabhar ).  The Romans 9 “ sonship ” is the exclusive prerogative of “ Israel according to the flesh ,” the Galatians 4 “ sonship ” extends to the spiritual seed of Abraham who are not “ after the flesh ” (:23), but was associated with “ Jerusalem which is above ” (:26). However, the Ephesians “ sonship ” has no relationship whatsoever to Abraham or Israel. It has no connection with the promises made to the fathers, it is not founded on an earthly inheritance (allotment). The Ephesians “ sonship ” extends back before the disruption of the world, and extends “ far above ” all heavens. These three “ sonships ” correspond to the three distinct spheres of blessing.  Book Resource:   Sonship  (A...

Fall of Israel in the Book of Acts

Fall of Israel in the Book of Acts In the book of Acts there was a threefold digression of Israel’s apostasy, which in turn resulted in the threefold progression of Paul’s ministry   – turning, going, sending: “ we turn to the Gentiles ” “ henceforth I will go to the Gentiles ” “ the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles .” Notice these three stages unfolded in their contexts: “… seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles ” (Acts 13:46). “… when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles ” (Acts 18:6).  “… And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,  s aying , ‘ Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand...
