101-1. UNDENIABLE FACTS About God and Jesus! DOWNLOAD to SAVE as a PDF Doc to read OFFLINE. And by the phrase “UNDENIABLE FACTS” I mean the verses of Scriptures that do not need to be “interpreted” to know what they mean. For example, 1 Timothy 1:17 teaches us FIVE undeniable FACTS about God. #1. The one being spoken of in 1 Timothy 1:17 is the ETERNAL King. #2. The one being spoken of in 1 Timothy 1:17 is IMMORTAL. #3.The one being spoken of in 1 Timothy 1:17 is INVISIBLE. #4. The one being spoken of in 1 Timothy 1:17 is the ONLY WISE God. #5. The one being spoken of in 1 Timothy 1:17 is to whom all of the glory and honor is to be given to. Please read 1 Timothy 1:17. “Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.” Now, since the Bible is about Almighty God the Father and His Son, Jesus, then this verse of Scripture is obviously referring to Almighty God the Father as being the ONLY wise God, the immortal eternal King to whom deserves the glory and honor. For you see, Jesus is NOT invisible, but rather, Jesus was MADE in the IMAGE OF the invisible God, according to Colossians 1:15. Jesus is NOT the Eternal King, but rather, Yahweh SET him to become a King, according to Psalm 2:1-8, Psalm 89:27, John 18:37, and many other verses of Scripture. And God is clearly identified again in Romans 16:25-27 as the ONLY WISE everlasting or ETERNAL God to whom the GLORY is to be given THROUGH Jesus Christ. Let us go ahead and read that passage of Scripture. I will highlight the words that refer to Almighty God the Father in orange. The words in yellow refer to the Son of MAN, Jesus, during the days of his FLESH. And the words highlighted in blue refer to the highly exalted Son of MAN, Jesus AFTER the cross and resurrection. Romans 16:25-27. “Now to Him that is of power to establish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, 26. But NOW is made manifest, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: 27. To God ONLY wise, be GLORY through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen. Written to the Romans from Corinth, and sent by Phebe, servant of the church at Cenchrea.” In verse 27 we clearly see that the ONLY WISE God is NOT the same being as Jesus Christ. We also see that the GLORY is to be given to the ONLY WISE THROUGH Jesus Christ which agrees with what we read in Philippians 2:8-11. And again, the ONLY WISE GOD is identified as the everlasting or the ETERNAL God in verse 26. And according to 1 Timothy 6:13-16, the ONLY Potentate is the INVISIBLE God. Let us go ahead and read that passage of Scripture from a couple of different translations. Again, I will highlight the words that refer to Almighty God the Father in orange. And I will highlight the words that refer to Jesus in yellow. And the words highlighted in the color blue refer to the Son of MAN, Jesus, AFTER the cross and resurrection. Here is 1 Timothy 6:13-21 from the Complete Jerusalem Bible. “I charge you before God, who gives LIFE to all things, AND before the Messiah Yeshua, who in his witness to Pontius Pilate gave the same good testimony, 14. to obey your commission spotlessly and irreproachable until our Lord Yeshua the Messiah appears. (The Son of MAN, Jesus was MADE both Lord and Messiah AFTER the cross and resurrection, according to Acts 2:36, Romans 1:3,4, Hebrews 1:6-9, and many other verses of Scripture) 15. His appearing will be brought about in its own time BY the blessed and SOLE Sovereign, who is King of kings and Lord of lords, 16. who ALONE is immortal, who dwells in unapproachable light that no human being has ever seen or can see - to him be honor and eternal power. Amen. 17. As for those who do have riches in this present world, charge them not to be proud and not to let their hopes rest on the uncertainties of riches but to rest their hopes on God, who richly provides us with all things for our enjoyment. 18. Charge them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, to be generous and ready to share. 19. In this way they will treasure up for themselves a good foundation for the future, so that they may lay hold of the real life. 20. Oh, Timothy! Keep safe what has been entrusted to you. Turn away from the ungodly babblings and the argumentative opposition of what is falsely called ‘knowledge’. 21. For many who promise this ‘knowledge’ have missed the mark, as far as the faith is concerned. Grace be with you.” Here is 1 Timothy 6:13-16 from the New International Reader. “God gives LIFE to everything. Christ Jesus told the truth when he gave witness to Pontius Pilate. In the sight of God AND Christ, I give you a command. 14. OBEY IT until our Lord Jesus Christ appears. OBEY IT completely. Then no one can find fault with IT or you. 15. God will bring Jesus back at a time that pleases Him. God is the blessed and ONLY Ruler. He is the greatest King of all. He is the most powerful Lord of all. 16. God is the ONLY ONE who can't die. He lives in light that no one can get close to. No one has seen Him. No one can see Him. Give honor and power to Him forever. Amen.”
The Greek word translated as only RULER and only SOVEREIGN in the above translation is translated as the only POTENTATE in the King James Version. And all of these meanings are the same as saying the Eternal invisible God is the ONLY ALMIGHTY God who alone is the God of gods, including being the God OF His Son Jesus who He MADE or highly exalted to BECOME a god. In other words, Jesus is called a “god” by NAME or by TITLE that he RECEIVED after the cross and resurrection, according to Philippians 2:8-11. Now, these are just some of the many undeniable FACTS about God and His Son Jesus. Again, what I mean by an undeniable fact is that the Bible itself clearly states what is a FACT that does not need to be “interpreted” to know what it means. So then, the CORRECT way to interpret the Bible is to interpret each and every verse of Scripture in the LIGHT of the UNDENIABLE FACTS. And thus, whatever “interpretation” that a Christian concludes a verse of Scripture means, then that interpretation must AGREE with every single verse of Scripture in the Bible. So what do you do when there are Scriptures that SEEM to CONTRADICT each other? Please know and understand that God’s word does NOT contradict ITSELF. But rather, it is the wrong or the incorrect “interpretation” of a verse of Scripture that CONTRADICTS other verses of Scripture in the Bible. For example, all Christians believe that the Bible itself teaches us that there is only ONE God. But some Christians WRONGLY interpret that the words “ONE God” mean one God PERIOD and NO OTHER gods. And thus, they wrongly “interpret” Jesus as being the ONE God Himself. But that is NOT what the Bible ITSELF teaches us as you will see in chapters that follow.
