This text is a compilation of quotations from many different scholarly sources.
Credit has been given to the authors of each quotation.
This text is dedicated to the thousands of Christian believers in the One True God who were martyred under Trinitarian persecution.
The oldest discovered fragment of the Gospels is only three words long, and records Pilate’s question to Jesus, “What is truth?” (John 18:38). The Christian finds truth in Jesus Christ, who is “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). Yet for centuries, the Church has been divided over the issue of exactly who Jesus is. To what extent is Jesus man, and to what extent is he God? The truth of this matter is not a mystery or an impossible enigma. On the contrary, Jesus came into the world “to testify to the truth” (John 18:37) that the truth might set us free (John 8:32) and that honest faith in a true understanding of the identity of God and the identity of Jesus would provide the key to eternal life (John 17:3). He who has an ear, let him hear.

Pls help: www.youtube.com/msorfiap, www.geocities.com/carlapaca, rush, your civil liberties are all under permanent risk while this device is out there instead of these people being under arrest, and hopefully getting death penalty, for they are obviously intentionally, and with maximum selfishness, destroying other people's lives and even brains and bodies. They are not human beings according to the definition of the Lord passed to me by 2002, therefore 'do not kill' does not apply to them. Besides, the own Bible, Old Testament, has always told us to simply kill those who were unable to 'play God's rules', what means never do to others what you do not wish upon yourself, for instance. Rush, may be on last chances of doing something good for someone else, and something extremely meaningful, which is also, obviously, going to benefit you and everyone you may possibly care about.
The Bible declares that the Lord Jesus is God. During the events of Revelation 17:14 (cf. Revelation 19:16) Christ, who is in heaven, is referred to as Lord of lords. This is what the Bible declares who YHWH is in Deuteronomy 10:17. So we have a singular Lord of every lord in heaven. Who is it? According to Deuteronomy 10:17 YHWH is the singular Lord of every lord in heaven but the above passaages in Revelation declare that Christ is. Christ and YHWH are ontologically one.
It's never been hard to grasp -- unless you believe in academics or religionists. They make it too hard. In the Revelation, Jesus (via John), refers to "God who was, God who is, and God who is to come." (vs. 1:04, 1:08, and 4:09). Our limited understanding can grasp that God has a past, a present, and a future. Yet Almighty God can not be defined by time. Nonetheless, the Trinity is a representation of the temporal aspect of God as best we can fathom. God the Father (past tense), God the Son (present tense), and God the Holy Ghost (future tense) = God who was, God who is, and God who is to come. In this sense, The Son of God, Jesus Christ, is the "I am," the present tense manifestation of God. And will always be God presented to us, who we can encounter physically in the present. Yet, God is transfinite. The Father can also manifest in the present, as can the Holy Ghost -- but each bears witness of the Son. There is no way to the Father except through Christ. He is our doorway onto the fullness of God. So yes, the Father is a person, just as you and I have been persons in our past. And the Holy Ghost is a person, likewise, just as we will be; especially, after the resurrection. There are not 3 gods. There is only 1. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is Almighty God -- One -- just as we would call a vine one plant, though it have root, stem, and branches. This is the reflection of spiritual reality that most closely resonates with our personal experience. We could also speak of parental love, brotherly love, and spousal love ... but that must remain a topic for another presentation.
