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,
Until then
I love you all so very much
In His love, your servant,

Bishop William L. McCoy
