Chapter 10: The False Trinity Doctrine
Page 7
Yeah, sure you say, I might believe that God exists. I just don’t think
He really matters that much on this earth if He does exist. At the time that Jesus started his ministry, I believe that was the attitude of many towards our God. Not only did people lose their spiritual connection to God [spiritual power plug]—the teachers negated God’s commandments in favor of their
own manmade traditions. How much did those teachers believe in the reality of God if they willy-nilly would alter His commandments? In Jesus’ time, Scripture availability was limited, so who could argue with the dictates of the spiritual leaders. Today? What’s your excuse for Bible ignorance?
Enter Jesus Christ onto the scene as God’s teacher, in the flesh, to reintroduce us to God. Think about this question again. If people choked at believing in a relevant God that holds them accountable for their sinful and evil behavior, how difficult would it be for them to believe that Jesus was
now on site and delivering the word of God? That Jesus was the Word incarnate? That Jesus was God’s truth, in the flesh and in your face?
Jesus was not God made incarnate [in the flesh]. He was only the
Word of God in the flesh, because God gave His Word to Jesus so he could speak to us what God wanted him to say. Is this so difficult to understand? Did not God speak to many prophets and tell them exactly what to say? Those prophets then spoke for God, didn’t they? It is the same thing here
with Jesus, who also spoke for God. Jesus was God’s spokesperson and messenger.
Jesus Gave Us God’s Instructions! John 17:8
Do you sense the added difficulty in believing in the Son, that God now presented to the Jewish people? Yet Jesus taught that if we could believe in him as the Son, that we, in essence, would believe in God the
Father. This makes common sense from the ability to believe, since belief in the more difficult [Son] renders a true belief in who sent him [God].
Belief In The Son Translates To Belief in God!
