The Only True God, continued


Praise the Lord Beloved and greetings in the Name of
the One who Paul says “….be strong in the Lord and in the
power of His might” (Ephesians 6:10). Our strength comes
from Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. It’s in His name
that I greet you.

Beloved, in continuance of our theme, “The Only
True God” - - There is but one God and He has been
manifested in a three-fold manner. And this three-fold
manifestation was not intended to establish a “Three
Person” God idea according to scriptures, but instead, it
was to reveal unto mankind that there was a true and living
God who loved them so much that his plan was to show
them in three manifestations, His everlasting love for them.
Don’t get it twisted! Deuteronomy 6:4 our God has always
introduced Himself as “One” True God—”Hear O’ Israel,
the Lord our God is one Lord”. But for four-thousand years
God has patiently waited to execute His plan in motion, and
that plan was to personally visit and redeem His people in a
panoply (or covering) of flesh.

Precious Ones, remember, God appeared unto His
people in various forms, or as Paul said in Hebrews 1:1,
“God at sundry (various) times in divers (or different)
manners spake in times past into the fathers…”. And
according to Exodus 3:14, 15 and Isaiah 43:10 & 11, God
declared what His character would be and His Name would
mean to us. “I am that I am: the Lord God of your fathers,
the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of
Jacob—- this is my name forever” (or– this is what my
name will mean forever—Abraham—past, Isaac—present,
Jacob—future). “And again, ye are my witnesses—that ye
may know and believe that I am He: before me there was no
God formed, neither shall be after me. I am the Lord—
besides me there is NO savior”.

I will write more on this subject next week,
Until then, know this
I love you all so very much
In His love, your servant,

The Only True God, continued


Praise the Lord Beloved and greetings in the name of the One who said (II Corinthians 5:17), If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." The inspiration behind those words is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It's in His name that I greet you in this New Year of 2008!

Beloved, in continuance of our theme, "The Only True God" -- there are still questions that loon large in the minds of some about the authenticity of Jesus being "The Only True God" today!!

Believe it or not Beloved, these questions are yet unsolved in spite of all of the institutions of learning filled with science, philosophy, and human wisdom. To many, Jesus was a prophet, for example, to the Muslims- Jesus is placed on the level of Mohammed (as a supposed prophet, mighty in words and deeds). They hail Jesus to be a great reformer, again, the Mohammedans declare Jesus to be a great prophet and nothing more. You would be surprised, many declare, Confucius, Mohammed, Buddha, Baha, any of the other so-called prophets to be as equally divine as the Holy One of Israel.

Precious Ones, the concept that you learn in seminary called THEOSPAY (or- the study of beliefs about God and world held to be based on mystical insight). This concept asserts that great religious leaders such as Confucius, Buddha, Moses, Mohammed, and at a given time, it will be ripe for the divine spirit to manifest itself again through some other "great personage". Beloved, this teaching is dogma that is inspired by the spirit of the antichrist (which Paul said in II Thessalonians 2:7-9) "doth already work". Beloved the next "great personage" will be none other that the son of perdition "The antichrist", who will exalt himself above all that is called God and is worshipped according to St. John 17:12 and II Thessalonians 2:3,4.

Anointed Ones, those who refuse to believe that Jesus Christ is "The Only True God" will suffer the fatality of worshipping a false invitation of God that will result in the death of their hopes to ever serve the needs of "The Only True God". Now does St. John 8:24 makes sense to you? Jesus said, "I said, therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: if ye believe not that I am He, ye shall die in your sins".

I will write more on this subject next week,
