>>>N-0. WHO is JESUS ACCORDING to the BIBLE?<<<

Jesus, the ONLY NAME

Given among mankind whereby 

WE MUST BE SAVED!

To ME, this is a very important question because the Bible teaches us that there will be some who come preaching ANOTHER Jesus or a DIFFERENT Jesus other than the true Jesus that the word of TRUTH teaches us. 

And everyone knows what a MESS it is to try and figure out which church denomination is teaching the TRUE Jesus. It is easy to make a mess but it takes a lot of work to clean up the mess that has been made. And the mess that I am referring to is the Orthodox teaching of mainstream Christianity that wrongly teaches that Jesus is ALMIGHTY God HIMSELF during the days of the FLESH of Jesus having TWO natures at the same time which is NOT taught anywhere in the Bible ITSELF. Let me explain what I mean by this.

The gospel was preached to the Jews FIRST. And I myself do not see the Jews believing that Jesus was a God/man at the same time having two natures, one divine, and one human when there are NO PROPHECIES in the Old Testament of the Messiah being both a man and the divine God at the same time. The Jews were looking for a prophet like Moses to lead them out of the bondage of the Romans.

To say this another way, the Jews believe that Jesus was ONLY a prophet of God and not the Messiah. In other words, the Jews do not believe that Jesus is the CHRIST, the SON OF the living God which to me, is EASY to believe if you believe the word of Almighty God. For you see, Jesus being the Christ, the SON OF God is the very FOUNDATION of the true gospel in SIMPLICITY. And if we do NOT believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the SON OF the living God, then we are believing a DIFFERENT Gospel than what the Bible itself teaches us. Plain and simple, we are not actively believing the very word of Almighty God Himself if we believe a FALSE Gospel.

 Therefore, the Jews believe in a DIFFERENT Jesus than what the WHOLE word of God teaches. So if you are a Jew you are NOT on the right path to obtain ETERNAL LIFE in the world to come UNTIL you accept Jesus, the SON OF the living God as your Messiah. Please read the study “G-8. Is MOSHIACH COMING?” and “C-4. THE PROPHECIES OF JESUS BEING THE MESSIAH!” These studies show that YHWH or Yahweh, the one true God prophesied of TWO comings of the Messiah. Jesus warned the Jews that they search the Scriptures for eternal life. And Jesus said that the Scriptures TESTIFY that he is the Messiah who will give eternal life to whosoever BELIEVES that he suffered and died on the cross as the ATONEMENT for their sins. So I implore all Jews to repent of their denying that Jesus is the promised Messiah and call on the name of Yeshua to be saved. Please read the studies under the heading >>>E-0. WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?<<<

The Muslims also believe that Jesus was a prophet of God. BUT the Muslims also do not believe that Jesus is the SON OF God. Nor do the Muslims believe that Jesus died on the cross for the sins of the world. Therefore, Muslims also believe in a DIFFERENT Jesus from what the Bible ITSELF teaches. So if you are a Muslim, then you are NOT on the right path to obtain ETERNAL LIFE in the world to come UNTIL you accept Jesus as being the SON OF the living God and that Jesus suffered and died on the cross for YOUR sins and for the sins of whosoever BELIEVES on him. Also, please read the three studies linked above along with the study “J-28. COULD ISLAM BE THE MARK OF THE BEAST?”.

KNOWING who Jesus TRUY is according to the Bible ITSELF is such an important subject, because there is no other NAME given among men whereby we MUST be SAVED. So for that reason I have an in-depth study that OUTLINES who Jesus is according to the WHOLE word of God. But before we get into that study here is a list of studies listed under the subject heading. These studies contain many FACTS about Jesus that do not need any INTERPRETATION to understand what they mean. And throughout the remainder of this study you will find LINKS to ALL of the studies I have written concerning WHO Jesus is and who Jesus is NOT, according to the Bible ITSELF!

Also, in the studies I write please notice the highlighted colors. I basically use FOUR main colors when highlighting in my Bible studies. Each of the four colors have a coded representation or meaning. Below is a list of the four colors and what each color represents.

#1. The ORANGE highlighting refers to Yahweh, Almighty God the Father as being the ONE TRUE God in ONE person.

#2. The YELLOW highlighting refers to Jesus, the Son of God, DURING the days of his FLESH. In other words, the color yellow represents the HUMAN Son of God BEFORE his God and Father highly exalted the Son of MAN, Jesus. I also use the color yellow just as emphasis to draw your attention to key words and phrases.

#3. The BLUE highlighting refers to Jesus AFTER God highly exalted His human Son and CROWNED him with glory and honor to be MADE Lord over the earth for 1000 years in the world to come. The light blue color also represents TRUTH.

#4. The GREEN highlighting refers to FALSE doctrines of devils. I use the color green in most cases to draw attention to things that word of God teaches AGAINST, but in SOME cases the color green is for emphasis only. In other words, when I want words like AND, ALSO, FOR, and THAT to stand out in a phrase that is highlighted in all yellow, then I will also use the green and or blue color just to emphasize a word.

And here is a list of LINKS to each of the in depth Bible studies on the subject of what must I do to be saved or HOW can I be saved. The subject HEADING will always be in the arrow brackets. Each SUBJECT is coded with a LETTER of the alphabet and then each study has a number in the ORDER that I suggest they be read. For you see, each study builds or adds more understanding to the previous study above it. So learning God’s word is kind of like learning math or arithmetic, you need to learn the BASICS before you do solve the mathematical problems.

N-10. THE FIVE AGES OF JESUS!

Now, when Paul warns us about preaching another Jesus or a DIFFERENT, Paul MAY have been speaking about the unsaved JEWS teaching another Jesus. But to ME, Paul is speaking specifically TO the church warning us concerning false teachers in the CHURCH itself who were teaching about a DIFFERENT Jesus than Paul teaches. Paul seemed very concerned about the church being DECEIVED to believe in a DIFFERENT Jesus or a different gospel other than what he was preaching. Let us read where Paul warns us about some preaching another Jesus.

Please read 2 Corinthians 11:1-4.

“Would to God you could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.

2. For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ (Speaking of Jesus being ANOINTED, or the anointed ONE of Almighty God. The word “CHRIST” means one who has been ANOINTED by God. This word also means the MESSIAH which has come to mean to Christians as Jesus being our SAVIOR. All these meanings are true, but the main meaning is the ANOINTED of God or the ANOINTED one of God, speaking of the ANOINTING of the Holy Spirit DWELLING IN Jesus)

3. But I FEAR, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the SIMPLICITY that is in Christ (Or that the minds of Christians be corrupted from the SIMPLE teaching of the ANOINTING of Jesus. In other words, Paul is saying, I fear that you may be moved from the SIMPLE truth that the ANOINTING that has come out from Almighty God to DWELL IN the Son of MAN, Jesus. The SIMPLICITY of the true Jesus is that God ANOINTED the Son of man, Jesus, with His Holy Spirit and with POWER. So then, the DOCTRINE of Christ is the teaching of the Apostles about the ANOINTING that came out of Almighty God and that “ANOINTING” came in the FLESH of the Son of MAN, Jesus. 

Now, this one meaning of the “simplicity” that is IN Christ is not the only meaning. In other words, there are also OTHER false gospels other than the “antichrist” or the anti-ANOINTING come in the flesh false teachings. Please read the studies “N-5. JESUS THE CHRIST!” and “U-39. ARE BELIEVERS in the TRINITY ANTICHRIST?” Another example of another false teaching that is NOT the “SIMPLICITY” that is IN Christ is the false teaching of the keeping of the Law of Moses to PLEASE God. I cover the errors of interpretation on that subject under the heading >>>Dd-0. WHAT is the TRUE SABBATH?<<< But in this study, we will focus on the other or DIFFERENT Jesus as being the so-called God/man Jesus of Orthodox Christianity, the Mormon Jesus, the Jehovah’s Witness Jesus, the Jesus of the unsaved Jews, the Jesus of Muslims, and the Oneness Pentecostal Jesus.)

4. For if he that comes preaches ANOTHER Jesus, whom we have NOT preached, or if you receive another spirit, which you have not received, or another gospel, which you have not accepted, you might well bear with him.”

The Apostle Paul also warns us to believe and teach no other Gospel other than the Gospel that Jesus himself taught to Paul directly from revelation through the Holy Spirit.

Please read Galatians 1:6-12.

“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 

7.  Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would PERVERT the gospel of Christ. (Now when we COMPARE Scripture with Scripture this verse points directly to the Judaizing Christians as being the PERVERTERS of the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ. Here is a list of verses that cross-reference to this verse. Gal_2:4, Gal_4:17, Gal_5:10, Gal_5:12, Gal_6:12-13, Gal_6:17; Act_15:1-5, Act_15:24, Act_20:30; Rom_16:17-18;)

8.  But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 

9.  As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preaches any other gospel unto you than that you have received, let him be accursed. (And by received Paul means that gospel that he himself preached which is AGAINST the keeping of the Law of Moses contained in ORDINANCES. In other words, any gospel that teaches that Christians should, need to, or you must keep the Law of Moses for ANY reason is a PERVERSION of the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ)

10.  For do I now persuade men or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

11.  But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.

12.  For I neither received it of man, nor was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.” 

There are many teachings today in the church as to WHO Jesus IS but which teaching is the TRUTH? Here at AMatterOfTruth.com, I do my best to give my readers ALL the evidence from the WHOLE word of God as opposed to some other teachers of God’s word that take verses out of their context and thereby mislead some to believe in another gospel and another Jesus other than what the Apostles and the disciples of Jesus taught under the New Covenant written in the New Testament. 

I give the links to all the Bible studies related to who Jesus is according to the WHOLE word of God listed along with links to each of those studies under the following headings. This makes it easier for you to send just one link to share the true Gospel of Jesus Christ with others. And then I will give you a list of TITLES of Jesus during the days of his flesh before the cross and who Jesus is now after the cross. I will also give this list of the six following headings again at the end of this study so you can stay focused on one study at a time.

>>>VERSES used for the TRINITY!<<<

>>>Is THE DOCTRINE OF ONENESS BIBLICAL?<<<

>>>M-0. WHO OR WHAT is the HOLY SPIRIT?<<<

>>>P-0. Is JESUS THE CREATOR?<<<

>>>O-0. WAS JESUS CREATED?<<<

>>>S-0. WHAT IF YOU ARE WRONG?<<<

And for further studies on false teachings of the gospel of Jesus Christ please read the studies listed throughout all the studies here at AMatterOfTruth.com and view the videos under the tab at the top called >>>T-0. FALSE TEACHINGS!<<< Under that heading, you will find the facts of what religious groups like Mormonism, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Islam teach about Jesus as compared to the word of TRUTH, the Holy Bible, as in, the WHOLE word of Almighty God. And by the phrase “the WHOLE word of Almighty God”, I mean that all verses of Scripture must be correctly interpreted in the LIGHT of the whole word of God and compared with all other correctly interpreted verses of Scripture, as opposed to, interpreting a few verses that are taken OUT of context to teach what is not the truth of the WHOLE word of God. For you see, whenever any INTERPRETATION of a verse of Scripture CONTRADICTS any other verses of Scripture that are correctly interpreted in the light of the whole word of Almighty God, then that INTERPRETATION is NOT the correct interpretation. So always interpret the hard “controversial” verses in the light of the SIMPLE and CLEAR verses that do not need any interpretation to understand what they mean.

Plain and simple, if the gospel you have been taught does NOT follow the teachings of the WHOLE word of Almighty God under the NEW COVENANT written in the New Testament, then you have NOT been taught the TRUE BIBLICAL Jesus. Again, this does NOT necessarily mean that you are not saved, but rather, that you may not be walking with God in the FULL potential that our heavenly Father desires for you to walk. If you do not understand what I mean by this please be patient, this will all become clear as you read all the studies I give links to within this study. But you must have a sincere desire to know the truth and nothing but the truth.

So let us begin this study in God’s word by me giving you a list of titles of Jesus during the days of his FLESH. Again, I will give this same list at the end of this study as well but for now, I would like you to simply read the list of titles of who Jesus was CALLED before Jesus ascended into heaven. There are actually FIVE AGES of Jesus and Jesus is something different in each of those five ages. I will also give the link to the study on the five ages of Jesus at the end of this study as well. But for now, please stay focused on reading THIS entire study first. Here are twelve titles of Jesus as to who Jesus is according to what the Bible ITSELF teaches us in SIMPLICITY.

#1. Jesus is the “I AM HE”!

Jesus said and if you do not believe I am he you will die in your sins. Jesus is the NAME above ALL NAMES. For you see, Jesus was GIVEN a NEW NAME after the cross and resurrection to be honored even as we honor the Father. In other words, Jesus is the fulfillment of PROPHECY! What I mean by this is that Jesus is the one who was prophesied to come. Jesus was made in the IMAGE of the invisible God to become the FIRSTBORN of EVERY CREATURE, the FIRSTBORN from the DEAD to become the FIRSTBORN among many BRETHREN. Please read the following studies.

G-1. JESUS THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES

G-2. JESUS WAS GIVEN A NEW NAME

PROPHECIES OF JESUS BEING THE MESSIAH!

365 PROPHECIES OF JESUS!

HISTORICAL EVIDENCE OF JESUS!

WHO is the TRUE MESSIAH?

V-38. John 8:24 IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE I AM HE!

#2. Jesus is the Son of MAN!

Jesus fulfilled the prophecies in the Old Testament Scriptures in the ORDER that the events of prophecy were prophesied. So this list of who Jesus is, according to the Bible itself, is listed in the order that they were prophesied. In other words, Jesus did not come as the King of kings FIRST. But rather, Jesus was born of a VIRGIN first to suffer for the sins of the people. And then, Jesus will come again as the King of Israel. Please read the study called  N-4. JESUS THE SON OF MAN!

#3. Jesus is the CHRIST!

The word “Christ” does indeed mean the Messiah but before the Son of MAN, Jesus, actually became the Messiah by his death on the cross, God ANOINTED the Son of MAN. Many times in the Bible the word translated as “SENT” means COMMISSIONED and sending, as opposed to Orthodox Christianity meaning of being sent down from heaven. In other words, God ANOINTED the Son of MAN at his baptism by John the Baptist with His Holy Spirit and power to be able to accomplish the task that his God and Father commissioned or sent him out into the world to do. Please read the studies.

N-5. JESUS is THE CHRIST!

O-12. Jesus said WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM?

#4. Jesus is the SON OF God!

Jesus was prophesied to be called the Son of God but the Son of MAN was not called the Son of God until his baptism by John the Baptist. This was when Yahweh the Father announced the Son of MAN as being His Son in whom he is well pleased. Please read the study. 

N-6. JESUS is THE SON OF GOD!

#5. Jesus is our FELLOW SERVANT!

Jesus is our BROTHER. We will be JOINT-HEIRS with Jesus. Jesus is the FIRSTFRUITS unto God. Jesus is the CAPTAIN of our Salvation gone before us. Jesus is the FIRSTBORN of every creature in the image of God. And we are being conformed into the image of God’s dear Son. Jesus is the firstborn among MANY BRETHREN. Please read the study.

N-7. JESUS OUR FELLOW SERVANT!

#6. Jesus is the ONLY begotten Son of God!

To learn the TRUE meaning of “ONLY BEGOTTEN Son of God” please read the study. 

N-8. JESUS the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON of GOD!

#7. Jesus is the FULNESS of the Godhead BODILY!

For the true SOUND Biblical meaning of Jesus being the fulness of the Godhead please read the study. 

N-9. Jesus the FULLNESS of the Godhead BODILY!

#8. Jesus is GOD!

And according to the Bible ITSELF, Jesus is “A” God under and subject TO HIS God and Father who ALONE is the ONLY TRUE God. Please BEGIN with the study N-1. 37 Facts to Ponder about Jesus being GOD! And in the four following numbers, I will list four things that Jesus is NOT.

#9. Jesus is NOT the FATHER!

Please read ALL the studies under the following heading. 

>>>W-0. Is the ONENESS Doctrine BIBLICAL?<<<

#10. Jesus is NOT Almighty God Himself!

But rather, Jesus is the IMAGE OF the invisible God. Please read the study.

U-7. Is Jesus ALMIGHTY God in the flesh?

#11. Jesus is NOT Yahweh Himself!

Jesus came out from God but that does not mean that Jesus is Yahweh Himself. Please read the five part series of studies called “Is JESUS YAHWEH?”

U-8. Is JESUS YAHWEH HIMSELF? Part 1

U-9. Is JESUS YAHWEH HIMSELF? Part 2

U-10. Is JESUS YAHWEH HIMSELF? Part 3

U-11. Is JESUS YAHWEH HIMSELF? Part 4

U-12. Is JESUS YAHWEH HIMSELF? Part 5

#12. Jesus is NOT God the Son, the second person of the Godhead Trinity God who always existed without beginning in the eternity past!

Please read all the studies listed under the following two headings. 

>>>U-0. VERSES used for the TRINITY<<<

>>>V-0. DID JESUS LITERALLY PRE-EXIST?<<<

There are many other things that Jesus is NOT that are being wrongly taught by what the mainstream church denominations call CULTS which I cover under the heading >>>CULTS<<<. But, for now, just so you know what I am referring to as the MESS, I want to make it perfectly clear that the two main Orthodox Christianity teachings of the Oneness doctrine and the Trinity doctrine have made a MESS of the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ by trying to make Jesus be something that Jesus is NOT! Both church denominations wrongly teach that you MUST believe that Jesus is Almighty God Yahweh Himself or you are dead in your sins. And WHY they do this is because there can only be ONE true God who alone is the Almighty God, Yahweh. And since the Bible says that Jesus is God, then to THEM, that must mean that Jesus is Yahweh Himself who alone is the ONLY TRUE God. So they are both teaching the SAME thing BUT each denomination tries to prove that Jesus is Yahweh Himself in different ways. The Oneness doctrine believes in one God is ONE person but they wrongly teach that Jesus is NOT a separate person from the Father and that Jesus is a manifestation of the Father. So, to them, Jesus IS the Father. And the doctrine of the Trinity teaches that the one God is three persons in the one God. And thus, then wrongly teach that Jesus pre-existed as God the Son in eternity past without ever having a beginning because the one true God has no beginning.

Now, simple common sense says that BOTH groups cannot possibly be teaching the truth seeing that they are teaching the exact opposite of each other. So the QUESTION is WHICH church denomination is teaching the TRUE Jesus?

In truth, NEITHER church denomination is teaching CORRECTLY as to the question, WHO is Jesus? You see dear children of God, just because different church denominations QUOTE Scriptures does NOT make what they teach to be the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of God. And these two main church denominations make it sound as if they are the ONLY two choices that Christians have. That is what I was told when I was in a Trinitarian church. I had no idea that there were other Christians who simply believe that Jesus is the SON OF God. I did not find out until years later after the Holy Spirit led me out of Trinitarianism that there were Christians that call themselves BIBLICAL Unitarians who believe almost word for word what the Holy Spirit taught me to believe directly from the Scriptures 

 Simply ask yourself the question. Why does your church denomination NOT teach the same thing as other church denominations? For you see, all church denominations use the Bible to support what they teach. So be honest with yourself. Have you personally searched the word of God for yourself to see if what your church denomination teaches agrees 100% with what the whole word of God teaches under the New Covenant written in the New Testament? OR do you read only what YOUR church denomination teaches? Again, here at AMatterOfTruth.com. I do my best to give my readers and seekers of the truth all the verses from both sides of the controversy and then leave it to you to decide for yourself between you and God as to what you choose to believe.

Obviously, I do give my readers my own opinion in what I myself have concluded based upon the whole word of God. And if I see something as being a salvation issue then I will tell you plainly, this is what you must believe and do if you desire to receive eternal life in the world to come, then this is what you must believe and do. Otherwise, to ME, it is only debatable teaching of the church denomination which may not necessarily keep a Christian from receiving eternal life in the world to come.

So then, with that being said, let us begin this study in God’s word to base what we believe only upon the WHOLE word of God that is CORRECTLY interpreted in the LIGHT of every verse of Scripture in the Bible in order to be thoroughly rooted and grounded in God’s word never again to be tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine as to WHO is the TRUE Jesus. Let us begin by reading 2 Corinthians 11:1-4 again.

2 Corinthians 11:1-4.

“Would to God you could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.

2. For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ (Speaking of Jesus being ANOINTED, or the anointed ONE of Almighty God. The word “CHRIST” means one who has been ANOINTED by God. This word also means the MESSIAH which has come to mean to Christians as Jesus being our SAVIOR. All these meanings are true, but the main meaning is the ANOINTED of God or the ANOINTED one of God, speaking of the ANOINTING of the Holy Spirit DWELLING IN Jesus)

3. But I FEAR, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the SIMPLICITY that is in Christ (Or in the ANOINTING of Jesus. In other words, Paul is saying, I fear that you may be moved from the SIMPLE truth that the ANOINTING that has come out from Almighty God to DWELL IN the Son of MAN, Jesus. The SIMPLICITY of the true Jesus is that God ANOINTED the Son of man, Jesus, with His Holy Spirit and with POWER. So then, the DOCTRINE of Christ is the teaching of the Apostles about the ANOINTING that came out of Almighty God and that “ANOINTING” came in the FLESH of the Son of MAN, Jesus. Now, this one meaning of the “simplicity” that is IN Christ is not the only meaning. In other words, there also OTHER false gospels other than the antichrist false teaching. For example, another false teacher that is NOT the “SIMPLICITY that is IN Christ is the false teaching of the keeping of the Law of Moses to PLEASE God. I cover the errors of interpretation on that subject under the heading >>>Dd-0. WHAT IS THE TRUE SABBATH?<<< But in this study, we will focus on the other Jesus as being the Jesus of Orthodox Christianity, the Mormon Jesus, the Jehovah’s Witness Jesus, the Jesus of the unsaved Jews, and the Oneness Pentecostal Jesus)

4. For if he that comes preaches ANOTHER Jesus, whom we have NOT preached, or if you receive another spirit, which you have not received, or another gospel, which you have not accepted, you might well bear with him.”

So then, are you ABSOLUTELY sure that you are being TAUGHT in SIMPLICITY about the TRUE Jesus that is clearly and plainly shown to us in the word of TRUTH, the Holy Bible? Now, the only way that I myself have found to be the best way for me to teach who Jesus is in SIMPLICITY is to divide the life of Jesus into five parts. In other words, I asked myself five simple questions. And then, I searched the Bible for the sound Biblical answer to each individual question first. And then I drew my conclusion based upon ALL the sound Scriptural evidence having NO CONTRADICTIONS.

Please understand that IF I had been taught the TRUTH from the very start when I first became a Christians then I would have already seen just how SIMPLE it is to believe that Yahweh CREATED Himself a PERFECT MAN to PROMOTE to take the place of ANOTHER. But before I could see this central truth all through the Bible, God had to remove church TRADITION from my way of thinking about the Scriptures.

Please read Psalm 75:6,7.  

“For promotion comes neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. (Please notice how clever and wise our God is when He hides the truth in PLAIN SIGHT. The only cardinal direction missing here in this verse is the NORTH. And the word of God teaches us that the city of our God is on the sides of the NORTH. So God is telling us in his word of prophecy that PROMOTION is coming from God)

7.  But God is the judge: he PUTS DOWN one, (Speaking of DETHRONING Lucifer now known as Satan) and SETS UP ANOTHER.”

Any guesses as to WHO God has prophesied to be set up as his King of kings and Lord of lords to rule FOR Yahweh as the God of the whole earth in the world to come? You are absolutely correct! God PROMOTED His FIRSTBORN to be his King HIGHER than the kings of the earth.

Please read Psalm 89:27.

“Also I will make him my firstborn, HIGHER than the kings of the earth.”

Before we look at more Scripture prophesying that his yet coming Messiah would be called the God of the whole earth let us take a look at just some of the questions that I asked God as he was showing me that the doctrine of the Trinity is FALSE teaching. Here are the five questions that I now ask you to answer for yourself.

#1. Who was Jesus BEFORE the Virgin birth when the word was made FLESH?

#2. Who was Jesus FROM the Virgin birth to his death on the cross during the days of his FLESH?

#3. Who is Jesus NOW AFTER the resurrection, exaltation, and glorification of the Son of man?

#4. Who WILL Jesus be during the 1000 year reign of Jesus?

#5. Who WILL Jesus be AFTER the 1000 year reign of Jesus?

Please read the study.

N-10. THE FIVE AGES OF JESUS!

We will also cover these five divisions of WHO Jesus is further on in this study, but first, I want to address my readers not knowing who you may be, as in, what you have previously been taught to believe. Again, there may be some who are reading this study in God’s word who are Jews and you want to know just WHO this Jesus is that is so controversial among some Christians. And there may be some who came to read these studies who are Muslims, that are OBEYING the words of the Quran to go and ASK people of the BOOK, the word of TRUTH, the Holy Bible, about this Jesus and WHO the word of the one true and only Almighty God says Jesus is. 

There may be some who are Jehovah’s Witnesses who are seeking the TRUTH. There may be some who are Mormons who are seeing in God’s word something differently than what you are being taught about Jesus and you truly want to KNOW who is this Jesus really according to the BIBLE? There may be some who are atheist or agnostic who are seeking answers to questions that science cannot satisfy that void or emptiness that is telling you that there is still MORE about this Jesus that you have not heard before. And still, there are others who are searching for answers that the mainstream church seems to avoid by saying it is just one of those MYSTERIES that we may never know this side of heaven.

You may be a Christian who has been confused by complicated man-made teachings that just do NOT make any sense to YOU no matter how many times you have been told that you have to just accept that teaching by faith because it is a MYSTERY that is BEYOND human understanding. But deep inside you are seeing that something just does not seem right with what your church denomination is teaching you and all you want is to know the TRUTH. 

Well, if you are any one of these different faiths or you are just curious as to what I have to say, then I encourage you to read the whole study. I fully realize that this is a long study over 100 plus pages and that some of you just do not want to take the time to draw closer to God. Yes, we are indeed living in a fast-paced society today and we want everything right now, including the church “DOCTRINE”. We want to know what others believe and sometimes not really caring WHY people believe what they believe. And we want to know what this church or that church believes in two or three short sentences all compact like a snack for lunch. This is why so many statements of faith you read as essentials of beliefs in some churches are simply NOT BIBLICAL. 

Quite simply, there has not been enough being taught in church, as in,  enough words used to explain in simplicity what the word of TRUTH actually teaches. The reason for so many different denominations and divisions in the church is because the church as a whole has not taken the TIME to explain thoroughly line by line what the whole word of God teaches. Yes, all church denominations are very thorough when it comes to teaching their OWN church doctrine. But very rarely does a Christian closely examine WHY other Christians sincerely believe what they teach to be the truth. In other words, most church denominations sincerely believe that THEY ALONE have the TRUTH and every other church denomination is WRONG.

And then, when QUESTIONS are raised in those church denominations about what OTHER church denominations teach then that church denomination as a whole simply brushes it off by dogmatically demanding that their church denomination has the truth. And, therefore, their church denomination could not possibly be WRONG in what they have concluded the Scriptures to be saying. In other words, their congregation is leaving them alone to fend for themselves. So the HUNGRY Christians will start attending other church denominations to find out for themselves what other churches believe. And that could end up worse for them than their staying where they were DEPENDING on what church denomination they were attending. So my prayer for all truth seekers is to be diligent to search the word of God for yourself so that no matter where you go you will always know the truth directly from the word of God. You can even remain in a Trinitarian church so long as you do not “amen” Trinitarianism. Stand firm in what you believe and do not be ashamed of the true gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Again, it is the responsibility of the church leaders to teach the TRUTH. So my PLEA to ALL Church denominational leaders is to have IN-DEPTH Bible studies that are honest and open to examining ALL the Scriptures from all sides of this controversy as to WHO Jesus TRULY is, according to the Bible ITSELF. Use the in-depth studies I have written side by side with your church denominational teachings and allow your congregation to have a VOICE.

Now, I myself, try to do my best to answer all the questions that I have been made aware of, that other Christians are asking. And on some subjects such as this one on who is Jesus, I have asked myself those same questions. But on other subjects, I never even heard other Christians being taught those things BEFORE I was asked the questions if those teachings are Biblical. So if you have a question concerning a church doctrine please feel free to write and ask what I have come to believe on that subject and WHY I believe what I believe. I will not simply brush you off. Your questions are important to me.

Now, if what you are just simply looking for is a QUICK SHORT answer, then you have come for the wrong REASON. Chances are, you are not truly seeking the truth at all, but rather, you are looking for someone that disagrees with what you teach so you can straighten them out so to speak to believe what you believe. In some of my studies, I will give a short straight to the point answer with no Scriptures. And then, I ask my reading if they want to know all the Scriptures for WHY I believe what I believe to continue reading. For you see, I am here to speak to you the TRUTH, the WHOLE truth, and nothing but the TRUTH. So if you do indeed sincerely want to know and UNDERSTAND the TRUTH, then you are going to have to put forth some effort on your part and CONTINUE in the words of Jesus and THEN you shall KNOW the TRUTH and the truth shall MAKE you FREE. Free from WHAT? Well, that is another study all on its own. But for now, if you are tired of sinning and being overcome by Satan and you want to be free, then I have plenty of studies on this website to help you become free through the word of TRUTH, but again that is another area of study RELATED to this study. Please read the study “F-12. HOW YOU CAN LIVE FREE FROM SIN!” But first, one thing at a time. 

The CORE purpose for this study is NOT for me to be right and everyone else to be wrong. I have actually had Christians accuse me that I write so many studies just to try and prove that I am right. The reason that I write so many in-depth Bible studies on the SAME subject is that different people learn in different ways. 

Have you ever tried to explain something to someone and they did not understand what you were trying to explain? So you said the same thing in other words and they said, Why did you not say that the first time? So a good teacher does not give up when they are not getting through to their students. But rather, they find other ways to explain the same thing UNTIL their students say, Now I SEE what you are saying! I want ALL my readers to understand that Jesus was ANOINTED with the Holy Spirit and POWER to accomplish the task that HIS God and Father COMMISSIONED the Son of MAN to do. For you see, if you believe in ANOTHER Jesus that is being dogmatically taught as being the fully Almighty God and fully human at the same time having TWO natures, one divine, and one human then you will also believe the Orthodox teaching that ONLY Jesus can live without sin.

So Again, the CORE reason for this teaching of WHO Jesus TRULY is, According to the Bible ITSELF, is so that YOU will be set free from the false teaching that you are nothing but a filthy sinner who will ALWAYS commit sin every day of your life because ONLY Jesus can live without sin. So if you are living without sin and you still believe that Jesus IS the Father then that is between YOU and God. My point is that what some churches teach is in effect keeping other Christian from seeing the truth that Jesus was EMPOWERED BY Almighty God to live without sin, Jesus could do NOTHING OF himself. It was the Father DWELLING IN Jesus who was doing the works.

With that being said, let us continue this study is God’s word to learn about the TRUE Jesus according to the WHOLE word of TRUTH found only in the Holy Bible.

 I sincerely want you, the reader, and seeker of the TRUTH, to KNOW WHO the Jesus of the word of TRUTH, the Holy Bible, clearly describes and plainly shows so that you will NOT be tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine that comes along.

So then, now that you know my HEART, let us continue the next part of this study in God’s word of TRUTH to learn WHO Jesus is according to the CLEAR, PLAIN, and SIMPLE word of Almighty God that does NOT need to be interpreted in order to KNOW what they are plainly STATING as FACTS which cannot be understood any other way. In other words, at times some verses may SEEM to be stating a fact and may SEEM to have only ONE meaning. These verses often cause CONTROVERSY among Christians, because to some believers that see those verses saying one thing while other believers see those same verses saying something completely different. The sad thing is that SOME Christians are NOT willing to even bother to take a CLOSER look to see if they could be WRONG.

I point this out because when there IS a CONTROVERSY then that is WHEN you KNOW for SURE that there is MORE than just ONE way to INTERPRET that verse in question. Therefore, any Christian who is TRULY seeking to know ONLY the TRUTH should always be more than eager to search the word of God for themselves to SEE if what they have been taught is indeed the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of God. Having said that, let us take a look at what different believers say WHO Jesus is before we go to the word of TRUTH, the Holy Bible, to see what Almighty God himself says Jesus is.

#1. Now some Christians say that Jesus is the SON OF Almighty God the Father.

#2. And some Christians say that Jesus IS God.

#3. And other Christians say that Jesus IS ALMIGHTY God himself.

#4. And some Christians say that Jesus IS “A” God.

#5. And some Christians say that Jesus is THE FATHER.

#6. While other Christians say that Jesus is God the SON.

#7. Some Christians say that Jesus is FULLY ALMIGHTY God and FULLY a human being at the SAME time.

#8. While other Christians say that Jesus is a HUMAN BEING who was ANOINTED by God.

#9. Some Christians say that Jesus had NO BEGINNING.

#10. While other Christians say that Jesus did, indeed, HAVE a BEGINNING.

#11. Some Christians say that Jesus had his beginning in ETERNITY PAST.

#12. While other Christians saying that Jesus came into existence AT the Virgin birth.

And we are not even going to try and list all the things that NON-Christians say as WHO Jesus is.

So then, in just what Christians argue and debate over as to WHO Jesus is, you can clearly see that some of the above Christian teachings from different church denominations CONTRADICT each other. So WHICH teaching or teachings are the CORRECT teachings? Is Jesus THE Almighty God HIMSELF? Or is Jesus the SON OF THE Almighty God the Father? Is Jesus the only TRUE God? Or is Jesus “A” God under and subject TO HIS God?

Well, that is what we are going to find out directly from the Scriptures when they are CORRECTLY interpreted in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.

Some Christians say that Jesus is BOTH Almighty God the FATHER and his SON Jesus at the SAME time as being MODES of existence. In other words, some Christians teach that Jesus IS the FATHER and that Almighty God the FATHER IS Jesus, the SON and that they are ONE and the SELF-SAME being appearing in different modes or in different manifestations of the ONE God. This doctrine or teaching is called ONENESS or Modalism. When asked HOW can this be? That is to say, when they are asked, HOW can two different persons be BOTH the FATHER and the SON at the SAME time seeing that they are TWO DIFFERENT persons, then they answer this complex and CONFUSING problem by offering the analogy that a human man can be BOTH a FATHER and a SON at the same time so what is the problem with Almighty God being BOTH Almighty God the FATHER and Jesus the SON at the same time? They go on to describe these differences between the Father and the Son as being different MANIFESTATIONS or different MODE of the ONE true God.

Well, while I do agree that a human man can be both a son and the father of a son himself at the SAME time, I do NOT agree with what this ONENESS doctrine teaches as Jesus NOT TRULY being a separate PERSON from the Father. That makes no sense whatsoever to dogmatically demand that these TWO DIFFERENT persons are ONE and the SELF-SAME person. You see dear children of God, a particular individual father CANNOT be the SAME particular individual as his son. That is to say, TWO DIFFERENT people cannot be the SELF-SAME person. So this kind of logic that Oneness believers use to try to explain that Jesus IS THE ALMIGHTY God the FATHER, as in, ONE and the SELF SAME being just does not make for good SOUND BIBLICAL teaching. So please beware of this ONENESS DOCTRINE as teaching ANOTHER and DIFFERENT Jesus that what the WHOLE word of God teaches. If you are a Oneness believer, I am sorry if this offends you, but if you are here to know the TRUTH, then I implore you to CONTINUE in the word of TRUTH and seek God’s WHOLE truth over false man-made “DOCTRINES”. The Oneness doctrine is NOT the SIMPLICITY in Jesus Christ. 

Again, if you are a Unitarian Christians, or a Oneness Pentecostal believer, or someone who believes that Jesus IS ALMIGHTY God himself, as in, being ONE and the SELF-SAME BEING as Almighty God, then I humbly implore you that you please keep reading this in-depth study in God’s word. I assure you that we will take a CLOSER look at all the verses that are used to try and prove that Jesus IS THE ALMIGHTY God HIMSELF while they are left IN their CONTEXT and compared with the WHOLE word of God. It is only FAIR for YOU if you hear the WHOLE matter as opposed to just ONE side of a BIAS teaching. It is up to you, but I pray you will stick around to hear the WHOLE matter from the WHOLE word of God.

Then there are Christians, who teach that Jesus is the SON OF God ONLY and that Jesus is “A” god, but Jesus is NOT THE ONE TRUE and only ALMIGHTY God who ALONE is the FATHER. We will come back to this group of Christian believers because they too are divided on other teachings. And what some of these Christians teach is NOT entirely sound Biblical teaching.

Then there are those that teach that Jesus IS the SON OF God and that Jesus IS God, as in Jesus is ALMIGHTY God and that Jesus is ALSO the Son of MAN at the same time, being FULLY ALMIGHTY God and FULLY man at the SAME time. BUT unlike those who teach the ONENESS DOCTRINE, they hold to the TRUTH that Jesus is NOT the FATHER and that God the FATHER is NOT his SON Jesus. This teaching is commonly called the “DOCTRINE” of the TRINITY combined with the doctrine of the Deity of Jesus that the Oneness doctrine ALSO teaches. So the statement above is actually two teachings put together, but generally, it is understood as being the doctrine of the Trinity. Please understand that even some FALSE doctrine can still have SOME truth in them. So just because the doctrine of the Trinity teaches “A” truth in the Bible that Jesus is NOT the Father and the Father is NOT the Son, that does NOT mean that the doctrine of the Trinity teaches the WHOLE truth of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.

With that being said, let me say again that which I have said many times in some of my other studies on this subject of who is Jesus, and that is that I TOO once believed in the doctrine of the Trinity. But then, I saw that some of the statements within the doctrine of the Trinity contradicted many verses in the Bible. So then I changed my statement of belief to say that while I believe in “a” trinity and that I do NOT believe in the “DOCTRINE” of the Trinity, which states that there are three persons in one God and yet not three Gods. This “DOCTRINE” of the Trinity or this quote-unquote DOCTRINE of the Trinity, with the EMPHASIS on doctrine, as in, what the doctrine STATES are what I strongly DISAGREE with as being SOUND Biblical teaching. For you see my dear brothers and sisters in or Lord Jesus Christ, the DOCTRINE of theTrinity also states that Jesus the SON of Almighty God the FATHER is EQUAL in EVERY way where neither is less than or greater than the other. The quote, unquote, “DOCTRINE” of the trinity goes further and states that each person of the Trinity is ETERNAL, in that Almighty God the Father, Jesus his Son, and the Holy Spirit of Almighty God the Father have ALWAYS EXISTED and that ALL three have always SELF-existing from all eternity past having NO BEGINNING and NO END. It is these dogmatic doctrinal STATEMENTS of faith that are IN the DOCTRINE of the trinity that I CANNOT agree with because they are just NOT SOUND BIBLICAL statements and they CONTRADICT the WHOLE word of Almighty God.

But, as even move revelation from God’s word came to me, I had to change my statement of faith AGAIN, to NOW saying that I no longer believe that the Bible itself teaches us that there are THREE SEPARATE persons. But rather, I am now seeing that the Bible itself teaches us that there are only TWO separate persons. And what SEEMS to be three WORKINGS by three persons is actually three workings by the TWO separate persons.

As I said earlier, I changed my belief from once believing in the doctrine of the Trinity to believe in “a” Trinity, AS IN, I began to believe in three distinct WORKINGS of God but NOT in a Trinity God. In other words, I no longer believed in ALL the STATEMENTS within the “DOCTRINE” of the Trinity. And again, I assure you Trinitarian Christians along with the Oneness Christians that I will give you, the reader and seeker of the TRUTH nothing but good SOUND Biblical evidence here in this study of God’s word that will CLEARLY and PLAINLY show you WHY these man-made “DOCTRINES” are NOT SOUND BIBLICAL teachings of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.

As I was saying, I began seeing verses in the Bible that would no longer allow me to believe in “a” Trinity. I explain why in some of my other studies on the subject of the Trinity under the headings >>>U-0. VERSES used for the TRINITY!<<< and >>>M-0. WHO OR WHAT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT?<<< These studies cover ALL the verses as to WHY I now believe that the Holy Spirit IS the Father, as in, the Holy Spirit is not a SEPARATE being from Almighty God the Father. So I believe in three WORKING from TWO separate PERSONS who are NOT the SAME God but they work together in AGREEMENT as ONE. And all of this is clearly taught in the Scriptures in SIMPLICITY. If you want the Scriptural PROOF then keep reading. But first, you have to take off your muddied up church denominational glasses so you can see clearly.

So then WHAT does the Bible ITSELF have to say as to WHO Jesus is?

First, let us lay aside ALL of what we have PREVIOUSLY been taught and START OVER from the FOUNDATION.

At first, I am going to simply state what I personally have come to believe that the WHOLE word of TRUTH teaches us and then we will cover all the Scriptures in great detail in their CONTEXT comparing Scripture with Scripture to prove beyond any shadow of a doubt as to what I believe and teach to be the TRUTH, the WHOLE truth, and NOTHING but the TRUTH. Then it will be between you and Almighty God to decide what you yourself chose to believe. My prayer is that you will believe the WHOLE word of God as opposed to verses taken out of context and the interpretations of verses that contradict other verses. 

Always remember that my CORE reason for teaching the TRUE Jesus is so that you can see, understand, believe, and DO the SAME works that Jesus did through the SAME Holy Spirit dwelling in you who DWELT in Jesus who could do NOTHING OF himself the same as YOU can do NOTHING of yourself. Personally, my flesh does not care if you believe that Jesus is Almighty God HIMSELF in the flesh so long as you believe the words of Jesus who said the Son can do NOTHING OF HIMSELF. But for ME, I do not see how Almighty God can do NOTHING OF HIMSELF. Now you can TRY to use that so-called TWO NATURE doctrine to lie to yourself but please know and understand that NOWHERE in the Bible ITSELF is there any verse teaching us that Jesus had two natures DURING the DAYS of his FLESH.

So with that being said, let me begin by saying that I do NOT believe in EITHER the man-made doctrine of Oneness of Modalism that falsely teaches that Jesus is the FATHER. NOR do I believe in the DOCTRINE of the Trinity which took nearly two centuries to be formed and was forcefully made to be accepted by the threat of death or excommunication from the Roman Catholic church.

What I do believe is that the TRUTH is somewhere in the MIDDLE between these two man-made doctrines that do have a LITTLE truth in each of them, but as a whole, they are BOTH false teachings. In other words, on one side of the coin, the Oneness Christians believe that Yahweh is one God in ONE PERSON and there was no Son of God in eternity past. And that is what the Bible ITSELF teaches us in SIMPLICITY. And on the other side of the coin, the Trinitarian Christians believe the Yahweh’s Son is a SEPARATE PERSON from Yahweh, the Father. And that is what the Bible ITSELF teaches us in SIMPLICITY.

So now, all we need to do is to KEEP what is the truth and throw out the REST of BOTH doctrines. Keep ONLY the truth that Yahweh was ALONE having NO Son as yet in eternity past. Start with this undeniable TRUTH that needs no interpretation! Lay aside everything else you have been taught. As Paul said, bear with me a little in my folly if you think I am the one twisting the Scriptures. Let the Scriptures interpret themselves.

Please read Isaiah 44:24.

“Thus says the LORD, Your redeemer, and He that formed you from the womb, I am the LORD that makes ALL THINGS; that stretches forth the heavens ALONE; that spreads abroad the earth BY MYSELF;”

Very SIMPLE words that clearly teach us that NO Son was with Yahweh when Yahweh ALONE and BY Himself created ALL THINGS. And we all know that the very purpose of the Bible is to show Yahweh is the Savior and HOW Yahweh chose to save us from our sins. In other words, we know that the Old Testament PROPHECIES about a coming Messiah who would be BORN of a woman. And right here in this very same verse, Yahweh is teaching us that he was ALONE and BY Himself when He spoke these prophecies of Yahweh Himself FORMING His redeemer FROM the womb.

To say this another way, God chose to bring His redeemer into the world by first forming every detail of what his Messiah would be like in His MIND and THOUGHTS. God STARTED forming His yet future Son in His mind beginning FROM the womb first. And then God saw His yet future Son as a Lamb slain from the foundation of the world to die as an innocent man to atone for the sins of the people so that they also could be CREATED as Yahweh’s new creation of people in righteousness.

I believe that the Bible ITSELF teaches us that there is but ONE TRUE and ONLY Almighty God, who is clearly and ALWAYS identified as being the Father ALONE. The Bible also teaches us that before the foundation of the world God had in his mind or PLAN that his SON would be SLAIN. Jesus is said to be the LAMB slain from BEFORE the foundation of the world yet Jesus was NOT actually SLAIN before the world was ever created EXCEPT in the MIND and PLAN of Almighty God that is prophesied in his word. So, in the same way, I believe that Jesus did NOT LITERALLY pre-exist as God’s eternal divine SON who was WITH that Father AT his SIDE before the foundation of the world EXCEPT in the MIND and PLAN of Almighty God to one day have a Son who would then rule at his right-hand side. 

In other words, I believe that Almighty God, Yahweh, one day, on a CERTAIN day in TIME brought forth into existence a SON, who was then given the NAME of Jesus, which means the salvation of YAHWEH. And I believe that the THIS DAY that Jesus was begotten of the Father was NOT in the eternity past. I believe that the Bible itself clearly teaches us in simplicity that Jesus was begotten by the Father TWICE. The first time that Jesus was begotten by the Father was at the Virgin birth of Jesus by the word of prophecy to be BORN as a HUMAN child. The second time that Jesus was begotten of the Father was at his resurrection which is when the HUMAN Son of MAN became God’s, ETERNAL Son.

Now, I do indeed teach that Jesus did PRE-EXIST from the FOUNDATION of the world, but NOT as God the SON or as God the Word or as ANY separate distinctly DIFFERENT divine eternal being who was WITH the one true and only Almighty God at his side. Rather, I believe that the WHOLE word of Almighty God clearly, and plainly teaches us in SIMPLICITY that Jesus pre-existed AS ALMIGHTY God’s HEART DESIRE, AS IN, being WITHIN the THOUGHTS and PLAN of Almighty God HIMSELF who then SPOKE forth OUT FROM His own mouth His own THOUGHTS and His own word of PROPHECY which BECAME FLESH.

Please read 1 Samuel 13:13,14.

“And Samuel said to Saul, You have done foolishly: you have not kept the commandment of the LORD your God, which he commanded you: for now would the LORD have established your kingdom upon Israel forever. (Or looking at the “big picture” God is saying to Lucifer, I would have made you my King over the whole earth. In other words, this is another HIDDEN prophecy that has a DUAL fulfillment. To say this another way is to say that WHILE God is speaking TO Saul, God is ALSO prophesying what will become of Lucifer. Please read the study “Q-2. THE GAP THEORY AND THE PRE-ADAMIC RACE! ”)

14.  But now your kingdom shall not continue: the LORD has sought him a MAN after his own heart, (Or more precisely, Yahweh is saying, because you have rebelled against me Lucifer your kingdom will come to an end. I have sought a MAN after my own heart’s desire to replace you Lucifer)  and the LORD has commanded him to be captain over his people BECAUSE you have NOT kept that which the LORD commanded you.” 

Now let us read the FULFILLMENT of this hidden prophecy in plain sight of the MAN after God’s OWN HEART who has already proven his complete OBEDIENCE to do ALL of Yahweh’s WILL and not rebel against him like Lucifer did to grasp at equality with God by using force.

Please read Acts 13:21-23,33-39. 

“And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years. 

22.  And when He had removed him, He raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also He gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a MAN after MY OWN HEART, which SHALL FULFILL ALL MY WILL. 

23.  Of this man’s SEED has God, according to his promise, raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus…

…33. God HAS FULFILLED the same unto us their children, IN THAT He has raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, You are my Son, THIS DAY day have I begotten YOU. 

34.  And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David. 

35.  Wherefore, (Or for this reason of manifestly declaring that his resurrection, is indeed, clearly understood that it will be a resurrection of that MAN after God’s own HEART’S DESIRE to be given ETERNAL life) He said ALSO in another psalm, You shall NOT suffer Your Holy One to see corruption. 

36.  For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption: (In other words, many things said about King David are actually hidden prophecies of God’s FIRSTBORN Son to be highly exalted by Yahweh to be His King of kings and Lord of lords. TO this END Jesus was BORN to be the King of Israel. Please read John 18:37.   “Pilate, therefore, said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered You say that I am a king. To this END was I BORN, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice.”  So then, the MAN after God’s own HEART’S DESIRE was NOT King David but rather it is Jesus who was BORN to be the King of Israel. Keep reading because the Bible interprets ITSELF)

37.  But he, whom God raised again, saw NO corruption. (And King David DID see corruption) 

38.  Be it KNOWN unto YOU, therefore, men and brethren, that through this MAN is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: (Speaking of Yahweh’s FIRSTBORN Son, Jesus) 

39.  And by him, all that believe are justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.” 

Are you seeing the “big picture” of the whole word of Almighty God that God is in the process of DETHRONING Lucifer as the God of the earth in the PREVIOUS age BEFORE God ever created Adam and Eve to PROMOTE another to replace Lucifer with a MAN after God’s OWN HEART’S DESIRE of a PERFECT MAN who will never disobey his God and Father? Please read the three part in-depth study, Q-14. WHEN DID JESUS BECOME GOD’S ETERNAL SON? Part 1, and the following three studies 

O-5. HOW DID JESUS BECOME  JESUS?

O-1. DID JESUS HAVE A BEGINNING?

U-6. WHAT DOES GOD INCARNATE TRULY MEAN? 

But for now, let us continue this study in God’s word about WHO is Jesus.

SECTION TWO

In this section, we will focus on question #2. Who was Jesus DURING the days of his FLESH from the Virgin birth to the cross?

The word of TRUTH ALSO clearly and plainly teaches us that Almighty God the Father ANOINTED his SON Jesus with HIS Holy Spirit in order to EMPOWER his SON to DO the works of Almighty God the Father. The term to be “ANOINTED” means that Almighty God HIMSELF came to DWELL IN the FLESH of his SON Jesus by sending His Holy Spirit to EMPOWER his Son to do all the will of his God and Father. Over and over again and again in the word of TRUTH you will see this EXACT SAME PLAIN and CLEAR teaching taught in SIMPLICITY that Jesus is the CHRIST.

 Again, the DOCTRINE of Christ in 2 John 1:9 simply means that the ANOINTING having come out of THE God came to DWELL IN the FLESH BODY the SON OF Almighty God the Father. 

The Bible itself plainly teaches us that the fullness of the Godhead DWELT IN the BODY of the Son of MAN, Jesus, and NOT what the man-made doctrine of the Oneness Christians teach that Jesus IS the fullness of the Godhead bodily means to THEM. Again, I will quote all these verses further on in this study. The Bible also does NOT teach that God created an EMPTY BODY to dwell in as the Oneness Christians CLAIM. Jesus has his own will, his own soul, and his OWN BODY. Again, for all my Oneness Christian readers I implore you to read all the studies under the heading >>>W-0. Is the DOCTRINE OF ONENESS BIBLICAL?<<<

And for BOTH Oneness Christians and Trinitarian Christians, Jesus said, I myself can do NOTHING of MYSELF, the WORKS that you see me do is NOT ME who is doing those works, but RATHER, it is ALMIGHTY God, MY God, and Father, who DWELLS IN me. It is my God and my FATHER who is the ONE doing these great and mighty works that you see me do. So simply ALLOW verses like these teach you that it is IMPOSSIBLE for Jesus to have been Almighty God Himself. For you see, Almighty God can do anything except lie because God said in Numbers 23:19 that He is NOT a MAN the He should LIE and NEITHER is He the Son of MAN. And Jesus said that the Son, referring to himself, could do NOTHING OF HIMSELF.

Please read John 5:19-27.

“Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do NOTHING OF HIMSELF, but what he sees the Father do: for what things soever he does, these also does the Son likewise. 

20.  For the Father loves the Son and shows him all things that Himself does: and He will shew him greater works than these, that you may marvel. 

21.  For as the Father raises up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickens whom he will. (WHY? Why did Yahweh the Father GIVE the Son of MAN, Jesus, ALL POWER and authority after the cross even to give eternal life to whomever it pleases the Son of God to give eternal life?)

22.  FOR (Or BECAUSE) the Father judges NO MAN but has COMMITTED all judgment unto the Son: (Why?)

23.  THAT (Or SO THAT) all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son honors not the Father which has sent him. 

24.  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that hears my word, and believes in him that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. 

25  Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. (Why will Jesus NOW after the cross be able to raise the dead and even give the ones he chooses eternal life when during the days of his FLESH Jesus could do NOTHING OF HIMSELF and it was the Father dwelling IN Jesus who did the works of healing and raising the dead?)

26.  “FOR (Or BECAUSE that same divine nature of immortal LIFE) AS the Father HAS life IN himself; SO HAS He GIVEN TO the Son TO HAVE life IN himself;

27. AND has given him authority to execute judgment ALSO (WHY? Why did God GIVE BOTH of these things to his SON? It was NOT because Jesus was Yahweh himself. And it was NOT because Jesus was ALREADY the ETERNAL DIVINE SON of God. But rather the Bible ITSELF plainly states as the REASON of WHY God gave Jesus ETERNAL LIFE even as the Father has always had eternal life is), BECAUSE he is the Son of MAN.”

Thus, we have what SEEMS to be three workings of the ONE true and ONLY Almighty God. But, in essence, we really and truly only have TWO persons and NOT actually three persons as the “DOCTRINE” of the Trinity incorrectly states. We have Almighty God the FATHER, who is the ONE ETERNAL SPIRIT and the SOURCE and Father of ALL including being the source of His Son Jesus. Almighty God is THE God OF and the FATHER OF Jesus.  And right now in this present world, Jesus is the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF Almighty God the Father, the FIRSTBORN among MANY BRETHREN.

So the Father is the one true God in ONE person who sent FORTH his very own self-same spoken word out from his mouth. The word that came out from God’s mouth is Spirit that came OUT FROM God, which again is his very own self-same Holy Spirit. And then the spoken word of prophecy which is Spirit in nature literally BECAME a HUMAN being laying aside ALL of ITS DIVINE NATURE to take on fully a HUMAN NATURE to be like all men are. And then, later at the baptism of the Son of MAN, Jesus, Almighty God, the Father HIMSELF came down from heaven in the form seen as the form of a dove to DWELL IN the Son of MAN, Jesus. In other words, the ANOINTING of the Holy Spirit and POWER was the Father HIMSELF who DWELT IN Jesus as the earnest of God’s Holy Spirit. Jesus said that the one who was actually DOING the WORKS that men saw Jesus doing was the Father DWELLING IN him. 

Next, we have Jesus the SON OF the one true and only Almighty God the Father, who OBEYS all the will of his God and Father THROUGH the power of the eternal Spirit DWELLING IN him, which is again the working of the ONE true God and only ALMIGHTY God the FATHER. Some Christians will argue that Jesus had MORE Holy Spirit than we have dwelling in us and they use verses like the fullness of the Godhead DWELT IN Jesus. But those verses are speaking of the divine nature of immortality that God GAVE to the Son of MAN, Jesus AFTER the CROSS. That is WHEN the FULNESS of the Godhead dwelt in Jesus. 

My point right now is that the Bible itself speaks of TWO beings. The first being is that only and ALWAYS eternal divine God who never had a beginning who ALONE is the FATHER. And the other being had his BEGINNING as a human being. Yes, Jesus came into existence as a HUMAN being which was the first time that God’s Son ever existed except as a THOUGHT within Yahweh. 

And the truth of the whole matter is that God did not have any thought of having a messiah in ETERNITY PAST. For you see, the creation accounts in Genesis chapter 1, Proverbs chapter 8, and John chapter 1 are NOT speaking of creation in eternity past. But rather, the creation accounts in Genesis 1 and Proverbs 8 are speaking of God RESTORING the earth that BECAME void and empty during the WAR between God and Satan. And the creation account in John chapter 1 is speaking of god’s new creation of his SAINTS created IN Jesus Christ.

So then, to me, the Bible teaches us that Jesus only pre-existed as God’s PLAN of salvation around 6,000 years ago long AFTER eternity past. For you see, there was no need for a Savior BEFORE the rebellion and fall of Lucifer who then falsely accused God of creating him as being flawed. So to prove that God created everything perfect God created mankind a little LOWER and inferior to the angels to JUDGE the fallen angels. And from what I read in the Bible the angels are NOT EQUAL to God which means that Jesus, DURING the DAYS of his FLESH, was NOT EQUAL with God. Therefore, to me, Jesus came into existence as a HUMAN CHILD through God FULFILLING His spoken word of PROPHECY to exist as the HUMAN SON OF God called the Son of MAN who was later ANOINTED with the Holy Spirit who comes out from THE God to DWELL IN the FLESH of Jesus at his baptism. And then THROUGH the Eternal Spirit dwelling IN Jesus the anointed Son of MAN overcame sin and died on the cross for the sins of the whole world so that whosoever believes in Jesus as the Christ, the SON OF the living God might have eternal life in the world to come.

And that briefly describes WHO Jesus was DURING the days of his FLESH from the virgin birth to the death on the cross of the ANOINTED Son of MAN.

So then, let me now summarize WHO Jesus was BEFORE his existence as an ANOINTED HUMAN being before the anointed Son of MAN was GIVEN the fullness of the Godhead to possess the divine nature of immortality AFTER the CROSS. In other words, I have already summarized who Jesus was DURING the days of his FLESH. And I hinted at who Jesus is NOW after the cross. To say this another way, Jesus began as a PLAN in God’s thoughts. God prophesied those thoughts and the word of prophecy became flesh. Then the Son of man was anointed and empowered to obey all the will of his God and Father to become the Savior of the world. And then as his reward, God highly exalted the Son of man to become the eternal Son of God. And that is WHO Jesus BECAME after the cross and is NOW up in heaven after being HIGHLY EXALTED BY his God and Father. This is just a short summary of the questions I asked at the beginning.

QUESTION #1:

WHO was Jesus BEFORE he was BEGOTTEN of THE ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God the FATHER?

ANSWER #1:

Jesus was WITHIN ALMIGHTY God HIMSELF as Yahweh’s THOUGHT to bring forth a Son into existence to REPLACE Lucifer as the God of the whole earth to rule FOR Yahweh in the world to come for 1000 years. 

To me, the Bible itself teaches us in SIMPLICITY that Jesus was an IMAGE that was WITHIN the heart, MIND, and PLAN of Almighty God to one day HAVE a SON. So then, for all practical purposes, Jesus WAS, as in, PAST TENSE BEFORE he was BEGOTTEN of Almighty God in the womb of the Virgin Mary, a MAN after God’s own HEART’S desire of Almighty God HIMSELF.

For you see, IF you say that Jesus pre-existed AS God the Son then it makes no sense for Jesus to say that to this END I was BORN to be the King of Israel. Jesus is the CREATED IMAGE OF Yahweh the invisible God. And God MADE the Son of MAN become both Lord and Christ to rule FOR him in the world to come to JUDGE Lucifer and the fallen angels. And after the 1000 year reign of Jesus, he will step down from ruling FOR Yahweh and commit the kingdom back into the hand of God, EVEN the FATHER. Jesus always refers to the Father as HIS God. And it is impossible for there to be TWO ALMIGHTY God’s. But it is NOT impossible for there to be TWO God’s because the Bible ITSELF teaches us that Yahweh is the God OF Gods.

QUESTION #2:

WHO was Jesus in the DAYS of his FLESH on the earth?

ANSWER  #2:

Jesus is the IMAGE OF Almighty God Yahweh HIMSELF that was WITHIN God made FLESH. Almighty God HIMSELF LITERAL BECOMES everything He CREATES through his spoken word that came forth out from his mouth. God is Spirit and God’s SPOKEN words are Spirit. However, the DIVINE NATURE of God’s word is stripped away to become mortal in nature. When God created the plants and animals by His word, the divine word became plant nature and animal nature VOID of any DIVINE nature of immortality. And in the same way, when God’s spoken word of prophecy became a HUMAN being that divine nature of God’s word was stripped of ALL ITS  DIVINE NATURE to fully take on the NATURE of HUMAN beings to be like all men are.

Then, when Jesus was about to turn 30 years old his God and Father ANOINTED the Son of MAN by sending forth OUT of HIMSELF his very own self-same Spirit to DWELL IN his SON Jesus to EMPOWER his SON to do all of his God and Father’s will.

QUESTION # 3:

WHO is Jesus NOW?

Jesus is NOW ascended into heaven as being the HIGHLY EXALTED Son of MAN to BECOME a God BY his God and Father GIVING him all AUTHORITY and power to rule and reign at his God and Father’s very own right hand. This is the HIGHEST position available with the EXCEPTION of Almighty God the Father HIMSELF, who is still yet OVER his SON Jesus. And it was only AFTER Jesus BECAME OBEDIENT to do all his God and Father’s will even to become obedient to die on the cross for the sins of the whole world that his God and Father HIGHLY EXALTED the Son of MAN, Jesus. It was only AFTER the CROSS that Yahweh gave Jesus a NAME above ALL other names so that at the NEW NAME of his Son every knee shall bow and worship his Son TO the GLORY OF the FATHER. And as the joy or reward God set before his Son Jesus Almighty God GAVE his Son to be HAVING ETERNAL LIFE IN himself EVEN AS the Father alone has always had IMMORTALITY IN HIMSELF. Let us do a quick review so you are absolutely sure what I believe and teach before we cover all the verses of Scripture as to WHY I believe what I believe

#1. So then, BEFORE Jesus was BEGOTTEN of Almighty God Jesus was DIVINE or DEITY being Almighty God HIMSELF and NOT being a separate distinctly DIFFERENT eternal divine being who was WITH Almighty God being at his SIDE?

My answer is NO! There was only ONE being in ONE person in the eternity past. Jesus was GIVEN the divine nature to BECOME Deity AFTER the cross as his INHERITANCE.

#2. Was Jesus fully God and fully man at the same time DURING The DAYS of his FLESH? 

My answer is NO! AFTER Jesus was BEGOTTEN by the spoken word of Almighty God to become the Son of MAN, Jesus, the spoken word was made to become FULLY a HUMAN BEING VOID of any divine nature. And at the baptism of the Son of man Almighty God ANOINTED him with DEITY DWELLING IN him. Know you not that YOU are the temple of GOD and the DEITY DWELLS IN YOU! Jesus himself said that it was the Father dwelling IN him who did the works.

#3. Was Jesus DEITY DURING the days of his FLESH?

Again, my answer is NO! Jesus BECAME Deity AFTER the CROSS.

Jesus was MADE both Lord and Christ BY almighty God. So to me, Jesus BECAME “A” God or DEITY by his God and Father GIVING his Son ETERNAL LIFE and all authority and power to rule and reign on his God and Father’s throne at his God and Father’s very own right hand. And again, this is the second-highest position only to Almighty God himself. Yahweh created Jesus for the purpose of REPLACING Lucifer as the God of the whole earth. Prophecy teaches us that the ARM of Yahweh will rule FOR Yahweh during the seventh 1000 year long day of Yahweh’s REST.

#4. Will Jesus always be the God of the whole earth for all eternity in the future? 

My answer is NO! For you see, the Bible itself teaches us that AFTER the 1000 year reign of Jesus the now eternal divine Son of God will commit the kingdom back into his God and Father’s hands and Yahweh the Father will create a new heaven and a new earth.

#5. What will happen in the eternity future AFTER the Millennial reign of Jesus? 

Your GUESS will be as good as mine because the Bible itself is silent on who Jesus will be AFTER the 1000 year reign of Jesus. 

Again, I will explain all of this in more detail further on in this study, but for now, I will say that, to ME, the word of TRUTH teaches that there is only ONE ALMIGHTY God and that this ONE TRUE God is ONE SPIRIT. Hence, we read in the Bible that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit OF Almighty God. To me, this speaks of Almighty God himself sending forth his very OWN self-same Spirit that is present everywhere. In other words, the ETERNAL Holy Spirit, who DWELT IN the SON Jesus IS Almighty God the FATHER HIMSELF, and NOT a SEPARATE distinctly DIFFERENT eternal Spirit apart from the Father as the “DOCTRINE” of the trinity claims.

Remember the words of Jesus saying that he himself could do nothing and that it was the FATHER IN him who was doing the work. To me, this clearly and plainly identifies the Holy Spirit OF God as being the FATHER. Please read the study M05. WHY is the HOLY SPIRIT the FATHER! for all the scriptures that clearly and plainly teach us that Almighty God the Father is one and the self-same being as the eternal Holy Spirit. But for now, let us stay focused on WHO Jesus is in all five stages because he is different in each stage. To ME, the most important stage is DURING the days of his FLESH because that is when the WORK of our salvation was FINISHED at the CROSS by a human man ANOINTED with power from on high as our EXAMPLE to follow in his steps who did NO SIN. Simply ask yourself the question. How can any mere human, as ourselves, possibly follow the steps of Jesus if so be that Jesus was Almighty God Himself in the flesh? 

So then, I have established what I believe which is that there has always been ONE ETERNAL SPIRIT who ALONE is ALMIGHTY God the FATHER. Then ONE DAY at a certain point in TIME this ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God, the ONE ETERNAL SPIRIT had a SON by speaking forth his very OWN WORD or his very own SAYING that was WITHIN God’s thoughts or plans to BE or to BECOME his HEART’S desire to bring forth a man after God’s own heart. 

In other words, God SPOKE and what God SPOKE came to BE. To say this another way, God sent his spoken word or SAYING by his angel Gabriel who then SPOKE God’s HEART DESIRE of what Almighty God desired to come into existence to the VIRGIN woman named Mary. And when Mary AGREED or BELIEVED God’s SPOKEN word or SAYING, then the presence of God overshadowed to MANIFEST or to fulfill the prophecy in the womb of the Virgin Mary. And that very moment  God’s SON was CONCEIVED in her womb. Then when God’s SON was BORN into the world of the VIRGIN woman named Mary, she was instructed by the angel Gabriel to call the NAME of her child Jesus. The angel Gabriel also prophesied in the message for Yahweh that her Son Jesus would be called the SON OF the highest. Again, the name Jesus means the salvation OF Yahweh, who is the FATHER of ALL, the ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God. 

So then, when you read in the Bible where it says there is ONE God, then know and UNDERSTAND that this means that there is only one ALMIGHTY God, who ALONE is the FATHER, the God of all other gods INCLUDING being THE God OF and OVER his Son Jesus who became “A” God AFTER he did ALL the will of his God and Father who BROUGHT his SON into existence. 

Now, just because Jesus was BEGOTTEN OF Almighty God the Father this is NOT to say that Jesus did not come out from the Father. You see dear child of God the word of TRUTH says that God’s word is likened to a SEED that when planted will grow. John 1:1 LITERALLY says that the word or the SAYING was TOWARD or WITHIN THE God. So it is absolutely the gospel truth to say that Almighty God HIMSELF LITERALLY became a MAN BY speaking forth the IMAGE in his mind to BE. Please read the study U-6. WHAT DOES GOD INCARNATE TRULY MEAN?, This study gives all the verses to clearly show that Almighty God HIMSELF LITERALLY becomes what God CREATES. And that means that God CREATED Jesus as a HUMAN BEING void of any divine nature. And that is how Almighty God laid aside ALL of his DIVINE nature to LITERALLY BECOME a HUMAN BEING without any advantage over any other human being.  For you see, God is NOT a MAN and NEITHER is God the Son of MAN. Almighty God ANOINTED his SON, Jesus, by the FATHER coming down from heaven OUT of HIMSELF in the form of a dove to DWELL IN his SON Jesus as the ANOINTING of the Holy Spirit. 

Whereas, the mainstream Orthodox churches teach that God the SON became flesh. And that would mean that there would have to be no less than TWO ETERNAL DIVINE SPIRIT beings, who were Almighty God the FATHER or God the Father AND God the SON who was, supposedly WITH, God at God’s SIDE. For you see, according to the doctrine of the Trinity, the ONE God is THREE PERSONS. So if “God” manifested Himself in the flesh then that would mean that ALL THREE PERSONS manifested themselves in the flesh. That is why the doctrine of the Trinity took over 300 years to form. It came from the REASONING of MEN arguing and debating over things like how could God STOP being God? How could one-third of God be fully God? And the questions go on and on to COMPLICATE things so much that the Roman Catholic Church basically said shut up and do not question the authority of the Roman Catholic Church. God manifest in the flesh is a MYSTERY that no one can fully understand! Please read the study U-3. 1 Timothy 3:16 God MANIFEST in the Flesh! The verse does NOT say that God manifested himself in the FLESH. It says God manifest in the flesh.

The word of TRUTH clearly teaches us that there is but ONE SPIRIT who is clearly identified and being the FATHER who DWELT IN his SON Jesus. So, therefore, it is NOT SOUND BIBLICAL teaching to dogmatically demand that Jesus is FULLY ALMIGHTY God and fully man at the same time, for why would Almighty God HIMSELF need to be ANOINTED with ALMIGHTY God IF SO BE that Jesus was FULLY ALMIGHTY God and fully a man at the same time? I mean THINK this through for YOURSELF dear children of God. Does it make sense to you that Almighty God DWELT IN Almighty God? Well, in truth, that is what the doctrine of the Deity of Jesus is actually saying by NOT considering the WHOLE word of God that clearly, and plainly STATES that the FATHER DWELT IN his SON Jesus. And yet, NOWHERE does the Bible ITSELF plainly STATE that Jesus is FULLY ALMIGHTY God and fully a man at the same time having TWO natures one divine and one human.

Please read the study called N-1. 37 THINGS TO PONDER ABOUT JESUS BEING GOD! For you see, there are over 37 questions that DEMAND logically SOUND Biblical answers from the two main-stream doctrines, the doctrine of ONENESS and the doctrine of the TRINITY. For you see dear children of God, these 37 questions simply cannot find sound Biblical answers in NEITHER the doctrine of Oneness NOR in the doctrine of the Trinity. So, therefore, NEITHER the doctrine of Oneness NOR the doctrine of the Trinity are SOUND BIBLICAL teachings based upon the WHOLE word of God because they CONTRADICT these 37 clear, plain, and simple verses in God’s word that need absolutely NO interpretation to understand what they simply STATE as FACT. 

Do not think for one minute that I woke up one day and just decided that I was going to prove the doctrine of the Trinity and the doctrine of Oneness to both be false teachings! NO! That is not what happened. The Holy Spirit revealed what I am sharing with you LITTLE by LITTLE. And you can be sure that I questioned God over and over asking many of the very same questions that may be going through your mind right now. When God first began showing me these things there was no Internet to Google questions. And as far as I knew back then there were ONLY two mainstream church beliefs on THIS subject in existence. 

And those two beliefs at that time some 38 years ago were the doctrine of Oneness and the doctrine of the Trinity. I had NO ONE to turn to and dialogue with except Almighty God the Father. I knew absolutely no one who believed what God was showing me, but yet deep inside I KNEW God was revealing HIS truth to me. I kept seeing CONTRADICTION after CONTRADICTION with these two man-made doctrines when they were examined in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.

So again, please bear with me for a moment and hear me out and read the WHOLE matter.  I promise you that we will cover ALL the verses on all sides of this highly controversial subject, but I needed to lay the foundation first by giving an overall SUMMARY of what the Bible ITSELF clearly teaches us.

The Bible teaches us in Proverbs 18:12,13 that PRIDE comes before that fall and that he who ANSWERS a matter BEFORE he HEARS the entire matter it is folly and shame unto that person. This TRUTH is so important that I want you to read several different translations of these two verses in Proverbs chapter 18. I am just going to quote verse 13.

Proverbs 18:13 KJV

So please my dear readers and seekers of the TRUTH, I implore you, which means I BEG of you, to PLEASE LISTEN and HEAR the WHOLE matter of what I have to say and THEN you can make your judgment as to whether or not what I teach is SOUND BIBLICAL teaching. You see, no one can make a SOUND BIBLICAL judgment until they hear and understand ALL the evidence. So if you do not understand what I am teaching then please write and ask me for more clarification. There is no such thing as a dumb question.

SECTION THREE

GETTING INTO EVEN MORE OF THE SCRIPTURES

So then, let us continue this study to learn WHO Jesus is according to the word of TRUTH by FIRST learning WHO ALMIGHTY GOD is according to the WHOLE word of TRUTH, the Holy Bible. You see my dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus the CHRIST, in order to understand WHO Jesus IS with SOUND BIBLICAL teaching, then you must FIRST understand who THE ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God is as clearly and plainly described to us in the Bible ITSELF! In other words, when we truly learn who God is NOT then we can finally understand who Jesus is NOT!

WHO IS GOD, ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE ITSELF?

First of all, GOD or more precisely THE ONE TRUE and ONLY Almighty God is INVISIBLE and NO man has ever SEEN God, the ETERNAL SPIRIT, nor CAN any mortal man EVER see Almighty God, because God is a SPIRIT and cannot be SEEN with human eyes.

Therefore, in order for the ONE TRUE and ONLY Almighty God to be SEEN, as in, UNDERSTANDING and truly KNOWING God’s character by his creation that CANNOT actually SEE him with their PHYSICAL EYES, then this INVISIBLE ALMIGHTY God must REVEAL himself to mankind. So the SIMPLE truth is that Jesus is the IMAGE OF the invisible God and NOT the one true and only Almighty God HIMSELF.   

In my other studies, I usually write out all the Scriptures for you. But in this section of this study, I will only supply you with the Scripture references, rather than the whole passage of Scripture so as to try and make this study as compact and short as I can and still do a thorough job of giving you the WHOLE word of God left IN its proper CONTEXT. So if you do NOT know these things ALREADY, then I encourage you to read at least some of these passages of Scripture to understand that these are in fact the attributes of the ONE TRUE and ONLY Almighty and INVISIBLE God. Again, those of you who already know these things please feel free to skim over them, but it never hurts to REFRESH our memories from time to time.

#1. God is Omnipotent or Almighty, or the ONLY Potentate: 

See Genesis 17:1; Exodus 6:3; Numbers 24:4; Psalm 91:1; Isaiah 13:6; 1 Timothy 6:14-16; Revelation 1:8; 4:8; 11:17.

So then, since God is ALMIGHTY then all these following attributes belong ONLY to THE ALMIGHTY God and NO OTHER God or god. The word of TRUTH teaches us that there is ONLY ONE ALMIGHTY God who is the HIGHEST of all other gods. In other words, the ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God can NOT have ANY OTHER Gods OVER Him, because HE ALONE IS THE ALMIGHTY God. THE ONE TRUE God is just as the Bible ITSELF plainly says, THE God OF gods. 

In other words, ALL other gods are UNDER and SUBJECT to the ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God. And if any God or god has another God or god OVER them then that God or god having another God over them CANNOT possibly be the ONE true and ONLY ALMIGHTY God. 

So then, clearly seeing in SIMPLICITY that Jesus is UNDER and SUBJECT to THE ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God being OVER him then it is impossible for Jesus to be Almighty God HIMSELF! With that being said, let us take a look at the word of TRUTH to see what the attributes are that DEFINE this ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God.

#2. Almighty God is Omniscient or all-knowing:

See 1 Samuel 16:7; Psalm 139:1-4, 23-4; Jeremiah 17:10; Matthew 6:8, 18, 32; 10:30; John 1:48-49; 2:25; 6:64.

#3. Almighty God is Omnipresent or all-present:

See Psalm 139:5-12; Matthew 18:20; 28:20.

#4. Almighty God ALONE is and has always been ETERNAL and SELF EXISTING:

See Genesis 21:33; Psalm 90:1-2; 102:27-28; Isaiah 40:28; 51:6; 1 Timothy 6:14,16.

#5. Almighty God is Spirit, as in the ETERNAL Spirit: 

See John 4:24; 2 Corinthians 3:17.

#6. Almighty God is INVISIBLE: 

See Exodus 33:20-23; John 1:18; Colossians 1:15; 1 Timothy 1:17; 6:16; 1 John 4:12, 20.

#7. Almighty God is the Father of all INCLUDING being the Father of Jesus: 

See Isaiah 9:6; Jeremiah 31:9; Matthew 5:16, 45, 48; 6:8-9, 32; John 8:41; 14:6; 15:16; Romans 8:15; Galatians 4:6; Ephesians 4:6; 1 John 1:3: 2:1: 2:23.

#8. Almighty God is the Creator of everything:

See Genesis 1:1; Psalm 8; Acts 17:24-27; Colossians 1:15-17; Hebrews 1:1-3.

#9. Almighty God is the Savior: 

See Psalm 106:21; Isaiah 44:6; 45:21; 63:7-10; Titus 2:11-14; Jude 25; John 3:16-18.

#10. Almighty God is KING of ALL kings: 

See 1 Samuel 8:7; Psalm 2:6; 5:2; 10:16; 47:1,2,6,7; 47:7; 84:3; Psalms 95:3; 110:1; Daniel 2:47; 1 Timothy 6:15.

#11. Almighty God is good: 

See Psalm 118:1; 136; 1:17; 36:7-9; 63:3-4; 34:8; 31:19; Matthew 9:17; Mark 10:18; Luke 18:19.

The SIMPLE truth is that Jesus said that he came OUT FROM God and NOT that God the Son came down from heaven from God. Jesus said that the Scriptures SPOKE of him. In other words, when Jesus read the Scriptures The Holy Spirit was right there teaching Jesus, saying to the Son of MAN, Jesus, That passage of Scripture is TESTIFYING of YOU, my Son. These are the things I wrote concerning YOU. The Scriptures do not prophesy about King David, but rather they prophesy about God’s Messiah whom we know to be Jesus.

Please read Psalm 139:13-17.

“For You have possessed my reins: You have covered me in my mother’s womb. 

14.  I will praise You; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are Your works; and that my soul knows right well. 

15.  My substance was not hidden from You, when I was made in SECRET, and curiously wrought in the LOWEST parts of the earth. 

16.  Your eyes did see my substance, YET being UNPERFECT; and in Your book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, WHEN AS YET was NONE OF THEM. 

17.  How precious also are Your THOUGHTS unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!” 

Let us read the last three verses again so you can see that the TRUE Jesus did NOT LITERALLY pre-exist in eternity past as God the Son who was literally with Yahweh as a literally separate person at God’s side.

Psalm 139:15-18.

“My substance (Or my BODY, as in, my whole BEING of spirit, soul, and body as well as my END PURPOSE) was not hidden from You, (Or my body, as in, my whole BEING of spirit, soul, and body as well as my END PURPOSE, was not SECRET from YOU)  WHEN (Or my body, as in, my whole BEING of spirit, soul, and body as well as my END PURPOSE,  was not a secret from you as to when, where, and how)  I was made  (Or my body, as in, my whole BEING of spirit, soul, and body as well as my END PURPOSE, was not a secret for YOU as to when, where, and how I would be brought to pass or PROCURED)  in SECRET, (Speaking of Yahweh’s HIDDEN prophecy kept secret from God’s enemy, Satan)  and curiously wrought (Or my body, as in, my whole BEING of spirit, soul, and body as well as my END PURPOSE, was not a secret for YOU as to when, where, and how I would be brought to pass or PROCURED by you who fabricated me in an unusual way) IN the LOWEST parts of the earth. (Or my body, as in, my whole BEING of spirit, soul, and body as well as my END PURPOSE, was not a secret for YOU as to when, where, and how I would be brought to pass or PROCURED by You who fabricated me in an unusual way by Your spoken word of PROPHECY being FULFILLED or performed by You in the WOMB of the earth. Now, I see two meanings to the phrase “IN the LOWEST PARTS of the earth. Before Jesus ascended out of the grave he DESCENDED FIRST into the heart of the earth or into the LOWEST parts of the earth. But God did not leave his SOUL in Hell as was prophesied. And after God resurrected the Son of MAN, Jesus, God highly exalted him and gave Jesus eternal life to become God’s, ETERNAL Son. That is one meaning. The other meaning is that Jesus had his beginning in the womb of a human woman without an earthly Father)

16.  Your eyes did see my substance, (Or Your eyes looking into the future did see my BODY, as in, my whole BEING of spirit, soul, and body as well as my END PURPOSE) YET being UNPERFECT; (Or yet being an embryo or an unformed mass)  and IN Your book all my members were written, (Or every detail about where I would be born to the END PURPOSE of why I was born are written in Your word of PROPHECY)  which in continuance were fashioned, (Or You formed and molded like a potter) WHEN AS YET was NONE OF THEM. (Or when YET NONE of my being existed in eternity past You kept forming Your thoughts within yourself as to how You desired my end to be like)

17.  How precious also are Your THOUGHTS unto me, O God! How great is the sum (Or how great is the END)  of them!”

Jesus said that the Scriptures TESTIFIED of him.

“Search the Scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are they which TESTIFY of me.”

Now read Luke 24:44-49.

“And he (Jesus) said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. 

45.  Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures, 

46.  And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: 

47.  And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 

48.  And you are witnesses of these things. 

49.  And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until you be endued with power from on high.” 

Psalm 56:8.  

“You (Yahweh) tell my wanderings: put You my tears into Your bottle: are they not in Your book? 

Luke 19:41.  

“And when he has come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,”

Luke 13:34,35.  

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which kills the prophets, and stones them that are sent unto you; how often would I have gathered your children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and you would not! 

35.  Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, You shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.” 

Here are some Jesus WEPT prophecies. See the types, figures and shadows of the hidden prophecies of Jesus weeping in the following verses of Scripture: Gen_43:30; Job_30:25; Psa_35:13-15, Psa_119:136; Isa_53:3, Isa_63:9; Jer_9:1, Jer_13:17, Jer_14:17; Lam_1:16;

The Book of Hebrews teaches us in several places about shadows, figures, and analogies or allegories in the Old Testament pointing to Jesus, 

Hebrews 10:1-12.  

“For the law having a shadow of good things to come and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. 

2.  For then would they not have ceased to be offered? Because the worshipers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. 

3.  But in those sacrifices, there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. 

4.  For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. 

5.  Wherefore, when he comes into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering you would not, but a body you have prepared me: 

6.  In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin, you have had no pleasure. 

7.  Then said I, Lo, I come (IN the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do Your will, O God. 

8.  Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin you would not, neither had pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; 

9.  Then he said, Lo, I come to do Your will, O God. He takes away the first, that he may establish the second. 

10.  By which we will are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 

11.  And every priest stands daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 

12.  But this MAN, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God;” 

Psalm 40:6-10.

“Sacrifice and offering You did not desire; my ears have You opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. 

7.  Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, (Or WHEN the Son of MAN, Jesus read this prophecy then Jesus declared the prophecies testifying of him back to Yahweh saying my ears you have opened O God. I understand what your will for me is to do. So be it done unto me according to your word, Lo, I come in the volume of Your book written of me)

8.  I delight to do Your will, O my God: yea, Your law is within my heart. 

9.  I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, You know. 

10.  I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation: I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth from the great congregation.”

Then after God raised Jesus from the dead he ascended to his God and Father to be given the divine nature to become “A” God just as it was PROPHESIED in John 1:1, and the word was God. And then Jesus descended back down to the earth after being glorified and highly exalted to become the King of kings and the Lord of lords to prove that he was the one prophesied in the Scripture. And by many infallible proofs the highly exalted now glorified Son of MAN, Jesus, showed himself alive for forty days. And during those forty days, Jesus EXPOUNDED the Scriptures and all the prophecies testifying of him.

Please read Luke 24:25-27. 

“Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: 

26.  Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? 

2.7  And beginning at Moses (Speaking of the first five books of the Bible which is also called the LAW) and all the prophets, he expounded (Or Jesus systematically set forth, explained, and INTERPRETED in DETAIL)  unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.” 

 And here is how the Holy Spirit expounded the PROPHECY concerning Jesus found in Isaiah 9:6,7 to me. God showed me to read the FULFILLMENT of this prophecy in the ORDER that it is PROPHESIED.

Please read Isaiah 9:6,7.

“For (Order of event #1 that has already been FULFILLED) unto us, a CHILD is BORN, (THEN comes Order of event #2 that has also already been FULFILLED) unto us a son is given: (Speaking of the HUMAN Son of MAN, Jesus was given as the ONE sacrifice for the sins of the world. Yahweh provided His own Lamb that was slain in the mind of God from the foundation of the world. God chose His Lamb to be made inferior to the angels so He made the human race a little lower than the angelic beings) and (And THEN Order of event #3 is YET FUTURE and it is YET TO BE FULFILLED) the government shall be upon his shoulder: (Which is the WRATH of God executed by Jesus. That is WHEN the kingdoms of this present world will become the kingdom of God’s dear Son to begin the 1000 year reign of Jesus) and ( And THEN will come Order of event #4 is YET FUTURE and it is YET TO BE FULFILLED WHEN the government will be set upon the shoulder of Jesus IN the world to come, at which TIME) his NAME shall be CALLED Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, (Or more precisely, according to Hebrew 5:9, the Father of everlasting life or the AUTHOR of eternal life, as in, BECAUSE OF the Son of man, Jesus obeying his God and Father’s Will, Jesus made it possible for whosoever believes in him shall be saved. Jesus was MADE perfect and he BECAME the Father of eternal life AFTER the cross. For you see, the Son of MAN, Jesus, was GIVEN the authority and the power to JUDGE and also to give eternal life to whomsoever he chooses. This is why Psalms 2 prophesies to kiss the feet of God’s Son whom He ordained to be his King of kings and Lord of lords) The Prince of Peace. (And, according to Revelation 1:5, Jesus is our Prince right now standing at the right hand of God. But at his second coming, Jesus will SIT on the right hand of Yahweh to rule and reign FOR Yahweh as the Lord of the Sabbath. And at that time the kingdoms of this present world will become the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. And)

7.  Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.”

Here are a couple of PROPHECIES in the Old Testament that prophesy God’s Messiah to BECOME the God of the whole earth.

Please read Isaiah 40:9-11.

“O Zion, that brings good tidings, get you up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that brings good tidings, lift up your voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God! (The God you ASKED for at Mount Sinai because you were afraid of the voice of Yahweh)

10.  Behold, the Lord GOD will come with a strong hand, and His ARM shall RULE FOR Him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before Him. (Or and his work PLEASES Yahweh)

11.  He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.” 

Now please read Isaiah 54:5. 

“For your Maker is your husband; (Or more precisely, because your SACRIFICE is your MASTER) the LORD of hosts is his name;(In other words, Yahweh GAVE the Son of MAN, Jesus, a NEW NAME so that AT that NAME every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus is the Lord of lords, the King of kings, and the God of the whole earth TO the GLORY OF Almighty God Yahweh, the Father) AND your Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth SHALL he BE CALLED.” 

Please read the study “WHAT DOES 1 TIMOTHY 3:16 TRULY MEAN?” For you see. God was MANIFEST in the flesh means that “A” God was MANIFEST DECLARED in the flesh.

Also, please read “WHAT DOES JOHN 1:1-5,14 TRULY MEAN?” For you see, it was in “A” beginning that word of prophecy was within the heart of God to prophesy there to be “A” God, and the word was “A” God. And WITHOUT him, not one new creature created IN Jesus Christ by Yahweh was made that was made.

Thanks again for reading and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the truth of the WHOLE word of Almighty God. Below is a list of the studies I mentioned within this study along with all the other studies that I have related to this subject of HOW did Jesus PREEXIST. We all agree that Jesus preexisted is some form, so the question is not IF Jesus preexisted, but rather, in what form as to HOW Jesus pre-existed in the eternity past. Below is a list of verses used to try and prove that Jesus LITERALLY pre-existed as the CREATOR of ALL things in eternity past.

Thanks for reading, and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God. And to me, the truth concerning who Jesus TRULY is, according to the Bible ITSELF, is the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus. So, for ALL of the studies on the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus, please click on the subject heading >>>D-0. THE BIBLICAL UNITARIAN VIEW of JESUS!<<<

And for the SUBJECT on the true foundation of the church, please click on the subject heading >>>C-0. THE TRUE FOUNDATION OF THE CHURCH!<<< This way you can just send ONE link to those who you want to share the TRUE sound Biblical FOUNDATIONAL teachings of the church that Jesus and his Apostles taught in the first century church.

Your brother in our Lord Jesus Christ,

Brother Mark.

My heartfelt prayer is that all Christians RETURN to the TRUE FOUNDATION of the church that is taught by the very Apostles of Jesus in the first century. So let us all come into the UNITY of the faith and return to what Jesus and his Apostles taught us in SIMPLICITY in the New Testament.
