Dear Editor,
Acts 17: 22-27 says, “Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, ‘Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious; for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I found an altar with this inscription: To The Unknown God. Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you: God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation, so that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after Him, and find Him, though he be not far from every one of us.”
Who is this Jesus that Paul was teaching about? Let’s look at his conversion:
“As he journeyed, he came near Damascus, and suddenly there shone round him a light from heaven. He fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?’ And he said, ‘Who art thou, Lord?’ and the Lord said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for thee to kick against the goads.”
Mind you that Paul was not a Trinitarian; he had never heard of the Trinity because that came about through the Catholic Church in 325 AD which distorted the true revelation of the Oneness of the Godhead in Christ. Yes, the Godhead may be a real mystery to the world, but the truth of the oneness has been already revealed. The key of knowledge has been given to unlock this great mystery for all to see and know! Do you know who you worship? Is he a three-headed god, who has no name? Is he a figment of the imagination in your heart? Is he so exalted that puny humans cannot know their Heavenly Father? Again, let’s look into the Word of God for a rock-solid answer.
To be continued.
