Dear Editor,

John 1: 1 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” And John 1: 14 says, “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”

God became flesh in the son.

1 John 2: 22 says, “Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father; he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.”

It takes the grace of God to receive this understanding; many see the scriptures and it is still hidden to them, but there are some who will have faith in the scriptures and trust them, not man’s ideas.

Luke 24: 45 says, “Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures.”

It’s good to know these truths that are like diamonds hidden in the rocks, and also believe them with your whole heart, and apply them daily.

Isaiah 9: 6 says, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.”

Isaiah 45: 5-7, 15, and 21-22 says, “I am the Lord, and there is none else; there is no God beside Me. I girded thee, thou though has not known Me. I am the Lord, and there is none else. I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the Lord, do all these things. Verily, thou art God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Savior. Tell ye, and bring them near. Yea, let them take counsel together, who hath declare this from ancient time? Who hath told it from that time? Have not I the Lord? And there is no God else beside Me, a just God and a Savior; there is none beside Me. Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth, for I am God, and there is none else.”

If God says there is no other God beside Him, can we believe Him in which it is impossible for Him to lie? God is seeking those who have a desire to please Him.

2 Chronicles 16: 9 says, “For the eyes fo the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him.” Christ came into this world as God robed him in human flesh to seek us out and reveal himself to whomsoever will. Don’t you want to know him today?

Revelation 22: 17 says, “And the Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come.’ And let him that heareth say, ‘Come.’ And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”

Colossians 2: 8-10 says, “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him, which is the head of all principality and power.”

Dear Editor,

Romans 1: 19-20 says, “Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them, for God hath showed it unto them. For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse.”

Isaiah 43: 10-11 says, “You are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am He. Before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me. I, even I, am the Lor, and besides Me there is no savior.”

Matthew 11: 27 says, “All things are delivered unto me of my Father, and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father. Neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him.”

God, who is a Spirit, revealed Himself in human flesh, as it says in John 4: 24: “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

Do you want to and desire to be a true worshipper of God? Get rid of the traditions of the world and all the erroneous teaching of God and come to Him clean and repented of your sins, and seek Him with your whole heart, and he will be found of you. I did, and He revealed Himself to me many years ago because I sincerely wanted to please Him and not just be content to have more knowledge in my heart.

We must learn the Truth of the Godhead as revealed in the scriptures: Isaiah 7: 14 says, “Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign. Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call His name Immanuel.”

The fulfillment of this is in Matthew 1: 23: “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel, which interpreted is ‘God with us.’”

Here we see the birth of the child Jesus who was from everlasting to everlasting. The flesh wasn’t in existence until the birth of Christ. This is when God through Mary made himself a body and dwelt in that body; hence, you have the Father and the Son, one body and one spirit, not two persons co-inhabiting one body.

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.
