An Explanation Of The "Godhead ”
Jude 1:3 states, Earnestly contend for the faith that was once delivered unto the saints.” Jesus knew that false doctrines of men would come so that is the reason he warns us about false doctrine so strongly. God is so very concerned about His doctrine, so I warn you to take heed to this article.
In Matthew 15:9, God says, “In vain do they worship me teaching for doctrine the commandments of men” and Romans 16:16-17 states “Mark them that cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine and avoid them.”
Friends and saints, God has His form of Doctrine and he wants you and me to follow that form to the letter. Using the titles Father, Son and Holy Ghost in baptism is a man-made doctrine that was started by the Catholic Church according to these books. Water baptism was done in Jesus’ name until the development of the doctrine of the Trinity 1 Canney Encyclopedia, pg53. The argument over baptism in Jesus name started between Pope Stephen and St. Cyripian 2Catholic Encyclodedia, volume 2, pg. 263. Study the Anthanasian Creed and you will see that the Catholic Church started that doctrine 3 Catholic Encyclopedia, volume 2, pg. 33. Once again, I reference Matthew 15:9, “In vain they do worship me teaching for doctrine the commandments of men.”
The trinity protestant preachers kept preaching the three Godheads after breaking away from Catholicism (they kept that part of the teaching). No wonder God says in Revelation 17:5-9. “Mystery Babylon the mother of harlots, the abomination of the earth”, and God says “this mother sits on seven hills” ( Rome sits on seven hills).
God wants us to know according to Deuteronomy 4:35-39, “The lord He is God in heaven above and upon the earth beneath and there is none beside him.” God started out with a plan or blueprint or thought. He saw everything the way it was going to be and he actually counted the things as though they had already happened. God knew the end from the beginning, St. John 1:1, “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.” In the original Greek, John 1:1 says, “In the beginning was the Logos and the Logos was with God and the Logos was God.” The word Logos means thought. Acts 15:18 states, “Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world” (by thought). Isaiah 42:9, “Behold the former things are come to pass and the new things do I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.”
Yes, God knew everything before it ever happened, but only in thought or plan. Jeremiah 1:5 reads, “Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee.” Yes, God knew us by his Logos, Which mean thought. Logos never means another God. When God says in Genesis 1:26. “Let us make make man in our own image and after our likeness”, He was not talking to another god, but He counted his flesh body as if he had already made it. Romans 4:17 reads, “God called those things which be not as though they were.” He knew what his flesh body would look like so He made Adam (according to Romans 4:14) in the figure of Him that was to come.
Jesus has always been God in the Old Testament. God said, “They shall look upon me whom they have pierced” (Zechariah 12:10), and in the New Testament one of the soldiers took a spear and pierced Him in the side and out came blood and water (John 19:34). The same God in the Old Testament was Jesus hanging on the cross in the New Testament. Another witness is Isaiah, “Thy dead men shall live, together with my body shall they arise” (Isaiah 26:19). This scripture was fulfilled in Matthew 27:52-53. Yes, many bodies of the saints arose when Jesus arose.
God, the Father, did all the talking in the Old Testament as far as any God was concerned, and you can see by the scriptures that he was already counting his flesh body when He did not have it yet in the Old Testament. THERE ARE NO THREE PERSONS IN THE GODHEAD. A person has flesh and bones, A Spirit has neither flesh nor bones (Luke 24:39). A person has male or female sex. A spirit is neither male nor female because spirit is neuter gender meaning it has no sex.
How could God then be three persons? The son was invisible, the Father is invisible. Jesus was both man and spirit, Jesus was both human and divine, both God and man, both Father and Son. The bible plainly tells us that God took on him flesh and blood and became like one of us, (Hebrew 2:14, I Timothy 3:16). The only way you or I will ever see God will be as a glorified man Christ Jesus, (II Corinthians 4:6).
The prophet Isaiah captures the uniqueness of Jesus’ birth when he writes: “Behold a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and he shall be called Immanuel” (Isaiah 7:14). When Matthew 1:23 quotes this prophecy, “he adds this crucial phrase concerning the name Immanuel which translated means “God with us”.
“God with us” The theological term for it is the “incarnation” or “enfleshment” of God. The term incarnation comes from the Latin word meaning “flesh”. Very simply put God became man. It’s so easy to say that, but it will take eternity for some to understand and grasp it fully. However, the Bible teaches the incarnation of Christ so clearly that no one should error.
