The Gods of Moses, the Priests and the Elders of Israel. Pt. #3

Status
Not open for further replies.
Jesus, among other things,
was born to bring knowledge of the Truth about his previously concealed Father,
his good gifts and his plans.
The Apostles taught how to access the Grace from God and Christ, through Christ.

John.18
[37] Pilate said to Jesus
Are you a king then?
Jesus answered: You say that I am a king.
To this (the following) end (reason) I was born
and for this (following) reason I came (from heaven) into the world >> (the nation of Israel)
that I should bear witness to the truth. (about GOD, his message, his will and his plans)
Every one (Israelite or Gentile) who is of the truth hears my voice >> (the voice of GOD)

Truth is a builder of the people of the Truth
and conversely is a destroyer of the dwelling place of the people of falsehood and error.
John.1
[1] In the beginning the Word (Jesus) was alive (and he was side by side with GOD)
and the Word (Jesus the Christ) was with GOD (the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.)
and the Word
(Jesus) was God (the Mighty God of the nation of Israel)[2] The same (Jesus) was, in the beginning (of the creation), with GOD.
[3] All things (in the heavens and the earth)
were made (created) by him (Jesus the Arm of GOD, the Right Hand and the Hand of GOD)
and without Jesus nothing that was made (including us), was made.

[10] Jesus (the creator, former, maker, king, lawgiver, judge, helper…of Israel)
was in the world the nation of Israel),
and the world (the nation of Israel) was made by him (their Maker and now the Maker of the Church)
and the (evil) world (of Israelites),
did not know him (their good = righteous God).

Above we establish that Jesus, the creator of all things,
was the God of Israel who was with (the concealed) GOD.

*
Man is a creation of BOTH.
“Let us, Father and Son, make man.”
Jesus made man and his Father put Spirit and breath in man. (Acts 17:28; Isa.42:5)
The Son is the God of all flesh (Jer. 32:27)
The Father is the giver and Father of our Spirit in us. (Heb.12:9)

Jesus cannot be God one day and the next day becomes less than the God that he is.
Any non-spiritual Translators of the Spiritual Israelite, Apostolic writings,
(who were taught to believe in ONE God (= Jesus).
had difficulty seeing that Jesus was God and his Father also.
Sometimes the translators plainly call Jesus God, in the N.T. and at other times LORD.


When the Israelite Apostles call Jesus LORD or the LORD, they mean the LORD, the God of their nation.
When Jesus disclosed his Father and his GOD,
the Father was acknowledged as GOD, the Highest.
Jesus was God of Israel who was always with his Father and in perfect unison with his Father.
Jews say that divinity and deity are not synonyms but gentiles do.
Jesus clarifies to his sheep.
The Spirit reveals many misunderstanding by Gentiles who learn from Greek Philosophers.
We instead learn from the Prophets and the Apostles, and after baptism, Christ is our light,

Jesus is/ was taught and empowered by his Father like he teaches us and empowers us.

John.5
[19] Then Jesus answered and said to the Jews:
Verily, verily, I say to you,
The Son (the God of Israel) can do nothing of/ by himself but what he (the learner) sees the Father do:
for whatever the Father does the Son also does likewise (emulates).
[20] For the Father loves the Son,
and the Father shows him (the God of Israel) all things that he himself does
and he will show him greater works than these, so that you (Jews) may marvel.
[21] For like the Father raises up the dead and quickens them (makes them alive)
even so/ similarly the Son quickens whom he wills.

The Jews know that Jesus, their previous God, is not the supreme.
They do not want to come back to him nor deal with him, as GOD has commanded.
Personally I KNOW that they do not realize how powerful and helpful, he is.

The Jews want to deal directly with the Father only.
They will never accept that the acknowledged three make one GOD.
That is a HUGE….
Jesus himself or the Apostles never taught a 3 = 1 God.

What is your personal take from the following Scripture?

Isa.43
[10] You (Apostles) are my witnesses, saith the LORD (Jesus),
and my (12) servant (s) whom I (Jesus) have chosen:
so that you (my chosen Apostles) may know (me) and believe (trust) me,
and understand (me) that I am HE (Deut.32:39.. the eternal life 1 Jn.1:2 who was with the hidden Father)
before me there was no God formed, (UNIQUE)
neither shall there be after me (He is the UNIQUE First and the Last)
[11] I, even I (Jesus) am the LORD (the God of Israel)
and beside me there is no savior (Jesus is the UNIQUE Savior)


Jesus, GOD’s beloved, preeminent Son, is UNIQUE in many ways.
Many skip over Scriptures like the above especially if they read with a filter.
When Jesus, through the Spirit teaches someone, many details are seen and absorbed.Having complete faith in Jesus Christ,
means that we completely and confidently believe what he says.
We never utter: "BUT MOSES said"
When we reach back to Moses we step out of wholehearted confidence in Jesus,
who is the God of Moses.

Christians making Jesus’ Doctrine about GOD equal to Moses’ one God teaching is an error.
Christians fellowship with Father and Son.
Jesus the God of Israel called his Father the ‘only True GOD = Deity.’
The Father has placed Jesus, as Head over the Church.
Jesus functions as God (Creator, Former, Maker, Lawgiver, King, Judge, Helper,…. to the Church
like he functioned as God over the nation of Israel.
Starting at Baptism, we call on Jesus, for light and as our helper
and we thank him personally.
We call on our Father, the Lord GOD Almighty, the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
the GOD and Father of everyone, for light and for help through Jesus, his Mighty arm
and we thank him personally.
Individually we may request the identical things from BOTH until we are further enlightened.
We must acknowledge BOTH.
There is no teaching to pray to the Spirit though the Spirit is EXCELLENT.
The Father is thanked for all things, including his excellent Spirit.

The Holy Spirit's services are essential to being a Christian = phase #2 or the New creation
Jesus gives the Holy Spirit to the particularly baptized. Amen
We accept the Grace from GOD and Christ on GOD’s terms.

We come directly to his beloved Jesus, through baptism, calling on him from under the water.
Jesus is powerful enough to grant the manifold, unspeakable grace that comes from him and his Father.
As unbiased children of the unbiased Father, let us be careful about the labels that we put on the past people.
As said by a wise man:”Education has prejudices.”
Let us, without bias, examine our own beliefs for heresy lest we condemn GOD’s truth and his people.
Peter predicted that False Teachers will lead the Church into heresy, similar to the Israelites’ circumstances.

Grace to all, through Jesus, is the will of GOD, our good Father.
