Trinitarian Christians dogmatically teach that, without fail, Jesus PRE-EXISTED as God the Son, the second person of the Trinity. Other Christians teach that Jesus pre-existed as a separate divine being who was with God at his side named the Word. And to them, this other divine being named the “Word” was not yet God’s Son. The Jehovah's Witness Christians teach that Jesus PRE-EXISTED as an ANGEL, namely Michael the archangel, who then became the Son of MAN and the Son of Almighty God the Father. And yet the Mormon Christians teach that Jesus PRE-EXISTED as a SPIRIT being alongside or WITH Almighty God as the Word who was God’s “spirit” child. So then, all of the above groups of Christians believe that Jesus pre-existed in the eternity past WITH God. Now, there are other groups of Christians who do NOT believe that Jesus pre-existed in any LITERAL form. But rather, they believe that Jesus pre-existed as God’s PLAN of salvation in the MIND of Almighty God. These Christians are called Oneness Christians. However, there are DIFFERENT groups of Oneness Christians. The Jehovah’s Witnesses would be considered Oneness Christians, because they believe that the ONE TRUE God is Almighty God the Father ALONE and that Jesus is the SON OF God. Then there are the Oneness Pentecostal Christians who believe that the one true God is the Father ALONE, but they believe that Jesus is the Father Himself. In other words, they believe that the Father MANIFESTED Himself to BECOME the Son. And thus, they argue that when we get to heaven, we will only see ONE sitting on the throne and his name is JESUS. And then, there are Christians like myself who do NOT believe that Jesus literally pre-existed as a separate divine being who was with God in the eternity past called Biblical Unitarian Christians. Sadly, not all Biblical Unitarian Christians are in agreement with EVERY church doctrine. So while I would like to call myself a Biblical Unitarian, I am cautious to do so, since they do not agree on OTHER church doctrines. But all Biblical Unitarians do AGREE that the ONE TRUE God exists as ONE person and ONE BEING who ALONE is the Father. And we believe that everything that Jesus is and that Jesus has was GIVEN to him by his God and Father who ALONE is the Creator. But what does the WHOLE word of God teach us concerning 1 Corinthians 10:4? Let us begin this study in God's word by reading the 1 Corinthians 10:4 to refresh our memory as to what it says.
1 Corinthians 10:4.
“And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.”
The argument for the literal pre-existence is that the spiritual rock existed in the Old Testament BEFORE the virgin birth of Jesus. And since Paul says that THAT Rock WAS Christ, then to THEM, that proves that Jesus pre-existed in the eternity past. For you see, to them, the only way for Jesus to MANIFEST himself in the Old Testament as that spiritual Rock is for him to have literally EXISTED during the Old Testament times. First of all, the Rock did NOT literally FOLLOW them. That is a poor translation. Also, the English word “THEM’ is not in the original Hebrew text. And the word translated as “FOLLOWED” LITERALLY means to learn as a disciple or follower of a teacher. In other words, there is a SPIRITUAL LESSON to learn from the water flowing out of a LITERAL rock in the desert. The Greek word translated as followed in the King James Version also means “to be in the WAY”. In other words, the rock in the wilderness was a LITERAL rock that Moses stuck with his rod and water gushed out. And that LITERAL rock was on the WAY that the children of Israel were headed. That is the true sound Biblical meaning of the Greek word that is translated as “followed” in the King James Version. Here is how the concordance in E-Sword defines that Greek word.
G190 ἀκολουθέω akoloutheō ak-ol-oo-theh'-o From G1 (as a particle of union) and κέλευθος keleuthos (a road); properly to be in the same way with, that is, to accompany (specifically as a disciple): - follow, reach.
In other words, there was a Spiritual LESSON to LEARN from the literal rock in the road on their WAY in the wilderness that they were to FOLLOW. Also, please know and understand that that LITERAL rock is STILL there in the desert of Arabia. Here is a link to a 12 minute video that has plenty of Scriptures that shows the WAY in which the children of Israel went in their exodus from Egypt. So then, what the original Greek text in the passage of Scripture in 1 Corinthians 10:1-6 is ACTUALLY teaching us is that the children of Israel were to LEARN from their DRINKING of the literal water from that literal rock was the SPIRITUAL lesson that Yahweh will PROVIDE for them. In other words, they literally drank literal water from a literal rock to quench their literal physical thirst. And thus, Paul is teaching us that the ROCK is a SPIRITUAL Rock or a spiritual lesson to both the children of Israel back then, and to us today. In other words, the children of Israel were to learn that God did not deliver them from the bondage of Egypt just to die and that He would provide for their physical needs. Let us go ahead and read the CONTEXT of verse 4.
1 Corinthians 10:1-6.
“Moreover, brethren, I would not that you should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; (Keep in mind that 1 Corinthians 2:12-14 is part of this SAME letter to the Christians in the Corinthian fellowship. And those verses teach us that the natural man cannot understand SPIRITUAL things because they are SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED. So keep this in mind as you read the CONTEXT below) 2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; (Notice that WE are NOT baptized unto MOSES. So CLEARLY, Paul is teaching us a SPIRITUAL lesson in this whole passage of Scripture by using EXAMPLES from the Old Testament) 3. And did all eat the same spiritual meat; (What meat is Paul talking about? Paul is talking about the LITERAL physical FOOD that Yahweh provided for the children of Israel in their WAY in the wilderness. And one of those literal foods was the Manna,also known as the bread from heaven, According to John 6:31. And Jesus teaches us that the Manna was a FIGURE that foreshadowed the TRUE bread that would come. And, according to John 6:30-58. Jesus is that TRUE bread. NOT a literal loaf of bread, but rather, Jesus is the MEANING of what bread is a FIGURE of in the Bible. Jesus said to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees. So then, the SPIRITUAL meaning of bread is doctrine or the TEACHING of Jesus that he is the Christ, the Son of the living God who shed his blood on the cross for the sins of the world) 4. And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: (Or more correctly translated, “for they drank of the spiritual rock that was on their WAY”) and that Rock was Christ. (Or more correctly understood, and the SPIRITUAL MEANING of the Rock is Christ. For you see, it is Jesus who baptizes us with the Holy Spirit, which is the LIVING WATER that springs forth within us unto eternal life in the world to come, according to John 4:10-14 and John 7:37-39) 5. But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. (In other words, even after all that Yahweh did for them they wanted to go back to being in bondage in Egypt) 6. Now these things were our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.”
So then, the Spiritual LESSON that we are to learn from this SPIRITUAL Rock in the Old Testament FIGURE foreshadowing Christ is that Almighty God the Father PROVIDED the deliverance from bondage by way of His SERVANT Moses. And the analogy of Moses is that Yahweh the Father PROVIDED His Messiah Jesus to deliver us from the bondage of SIN. God provided the children of Israel with food and water while they were in the wilderness traveling TO the PROMISED land. And by the hand of Moses, the literal rock was split open and literal water ran out, and all who were thirsty drank from the literal water that came out of the rock by the hand of Moses. And the analogy is that by the hand of Jesus, the SPIRITUAL Rock was split open so that the Holy Spirit could be poured out upon all flesh. So to ME, Paul is NOT saying that Jesus was that literal Rock in the Old Testament. NOR is Paul saying that Jesus MANIFESTED himself to become that literal rock in the Old Testament. Paul. was simply giving us an ANALOGY between the water flowing out of that literal rock in the desert and Jesus baptizing believers in the Holy Spirit. Now again, some Trinitarian Christians interpret verse 4 OUT of its CONTEXT to dogmatically mean, without fail, that Jesus PRE-EXISTED in the Old Testament. They argue that Paul clearly identifies the LITERAL rock that Moses smote or hit with a stick in the wilderness as BEING CHRIST. They argue that Paul plainly says, “and THAT Rock WAS Christ”. And then they argue that Jesus IS THE ALMIGHTY God HIMSELF. For you see, they take other Old Testament verses such as Deuteronomy 32:4 and Deuteronmy 32:18 and argue that they clearly and plainly teach us that Almighty God Yahweh Himself is the SAME ROCK. And thus, they conclude that since Paul says Jesus is the Rock and Deuteronomy 32:4,18 says that Almighty God is the ROCK, then that proves to THEM that Jesus must, without fail, be THE ALMIGHTY God HIMSELF Trinitarian Christians say that Jesus is God the Son, the second person of the Godhead Trinity, and Oneness Pentecostal Christians say that Jesus is the Father Himself. But again, is either of those two doctrines SOUND BIBLICAL teaching based upon the WHOLE word of Almighty God? For you see, a SOUND Biblical teaching will NOT contradict any other verse of Scripture when they are correctly interpreted in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of Almighty God. As I have said many times that any verse when taken out of context and viewed alone and apart from the whole word of God may SEEM to be saying something that it is not truly saying. So then, let us read this verse in question being left in the context of where it is found.
Please read 1 Corinthians 10:1-11.
“Moreover, brethren, I would not that you should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2. And were all baptized unto Moses (Some Bible scholars teach that Moses was a type or figure of Jesus Christ and that we as Christians are baptized in Jesus as the people of Israel were baptized unto Moses) in the cloud and in the sea; 3. And did all eat the same SPIRITUAL meat; (Again, speaking of the Manna which was a FIGURE of Jesus as being the TRUE bread from heaven. So then, clearly seeing that the CONTEXT is about shadows, types and figures pointing to Jesus, then that is what verse 4 is ALSO teaching us) 4. And did all drink the same SPIRITUAL drink: FOR (Or BECAUSE) they drank of that SPIRITUAL Rock (Now, the actual rock that Paul is talking about was a LITERAL rock. So Paul is teaching us a SPIRITUAL lesson from these LITERAL things that happened and were written in the Old Testament) that followed them: and that Rock was CHRIST (Speaking of that SPIRITUAL LESSON from that LITERAL rock they were to learn the spiritual lesson that God is WITH them. One meaning of the word “CHRIST” is the ANOINTING of Almighty God or more specifically the ETERNAL Holy Spirit who DWELT IN Jesus, the SON OF Almighty God the Father. Whenever you read the word “CHRIST” do not automatically substitute the name Jesus for the word “CHRIST”, because the word Christ is not Jesus' last name. But rather, this word means that Jesus is the chosen one whom Almighty God the Father DWELT IN to empower the Son of MAN to do the works that Yahweh sent His Son to do. Please read the study N-5. JESUS is THE CHRIST! That study will give a deeper understanding of what I mean by the Father dwelling in the Son of MAN, Jesus who could do NOTHING of himself, according to John 5:19,10 and John 14:10. Another meaning for the word “CHRIST” is MESSIAH, the deliverer, or the savior. And certainly, THAT ROCK in the Old Testament was used by Almighty God to SAVE the people of Israel from physical death by literally dying from thirst. They were in a desert. So again, Paul is teaching us a SPIRITUAL lesson or using an ANALOGY. Paul is not actually saying that Jesus is a LITERALLY ROCK. Keep reading the CONTEXT and you will see that I am teaching you the TRUTH) 5. But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. 6. Now, these things were OUR EXAMPLES, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. 7. Neither be you, idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play. (Some Christians are faithful to attend church every Sunday to feast on God’s word but then through the week they walk so close to the world that you can hardly tell that they are Christians. And that is what Paul is teaching us NOT to do. Do NOT be like the children of Israel who enjoyed God’s provision of food and water and then not obey His Son, Jesus. For you see, Jesus gave us just TWO commandments which are NOT grievous to bear, according to 1 John 5:1-5. Believe in Jesus and walk in LOVE) 8. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. 9. Neither let us tempt CHRIST (Speaking of the ANOINTING or more precisely, the ETERNAL SPIRIT, who DWELT IN Jesus the SON OF Almighty God and Father and NOW DWELLS IN us as believers in Jesus. You see, the truth of the matter is that Almighty God the eternal Holy Spirit Himself was that one who stood before Moses on the rock that he instructed Moses to strike with the rod of Aaron. Please read Exodus 17:5,6 “And the LORD (Yahweh or Almighty God the Father Himself) said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with you of the elders of Israel; and your rod, wherewith you smote the river, take in your hand, and go. 6. Behold, I (Yahweh) will stand before you there upon the rock in Horeb; and you shall smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.” So again, the SPIRITUAL lesson that Paul is teaching us here is that JUST as the PHYSICAL ROCK was SMOTE and gave God's people WATER to give them physical LIFE to keep them from dying PHYSICALLY so was JESUS BROKEN to give us LIVING water unto ETERNAL life. Also, what Paul is teaching us here is for us NOT to tempt the Holy Spirit, the CHRIST, or the ANOINTING within us) as some of them also tempted (Almighty God, the eternal and invisible Spirit that manifested a pillar of cloud by day and went behind them or followed them as a pillar of fire by night. In other words, the CHRIST or the ANOINTING OF Almighty God did not DWELL IN the people of Israel as the Holy Spirit now DWELLS IN us as believers in His Son Jesus. But rather, the Holy Spirit was only with them in the wilderness. But they tempted God saying, “Is the Lord with us or not?”) and were destroyed by serpents. 10. Neither murmur you, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer. (When a Christian lives in sin, they remove themselves from God’s protection and God’s ENEMY is the one who oppresses them) 11. Now ALL these things happened unto them for EXAMPLES: and they are written for OUR admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are to come.”
So then, from the CONTEXT, we clearly see that the literal physical rock in the Old Testament was a SPIRITUAL EXAMPLE of a spiritual lesson TEACHING us of the coming to the CHRIST. Paul is using the literal rock that was BROKEN to let rivers of living water flow out of it as an ANALOGY of the ANOINTED ONE of Almighty God to be our Messiah, our Savior, the atonement for our sins. So the SPIRITUAL Rock LESSON is that Jesus is our redeemer who was BROKEN in order to cleanse so that we could be given the LIVING WATER of the Holy Spirit to DWELL IN us as believers.
Please read Psalm 34:17-20.
“The righteous cry and the LORD hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. 18. The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a BROKEN heart; and saves such as be of a contrite spirit. 19. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivers him out of them all. 20. He keeps all his bones: NOT ONE of them is broken.”
Paul was not just comparing that physical rock as the only EXAMPLE written for us, but ALL these things HAPPENED unto God's people FOR OUR EXAMPLES and OUR admonition. Paul is NOT saying that Jesus himself PRE-EXISTED as that physical rock any more than Jesus pre-existed as a literal physical LAMB that was slain from before the foundation of the world in the MIND and PLAN of God BEFORE any lambs were ever created. Everything that is written in the Old Testament that refers to Jesus is a PROPHECY, a TYPE, a FIGURE, a SHADOW or an ANALOGY that was written for our EXAMPLE to know who the Messiah is when he comes. The unsaved Jews are still looking for their Messiah to come but we as Christians know that the Messiah already came and that Jesus will return to reign as King over the earth in the world to come. Again, the verses in the Old Testament that SEEM to be teaching that Jesus must have pre-existed in order to be able to manifest himself in some form such as the rock, the burning bush, and the angel of the LORD are INTERPRETED as God manifesting HIMSELF. But in truth, these are all TYPES, SHADOWS, and FIGURES that are PROPHECIES foretelling of the coming of Jesus to be the Messiah or the Savior, whom Almighty God Himself would raise up from AMONG the PEOPLE. God can MANIFEST anything He chooses, but it is NOT Himself that He manifests. In other words, the Word was MADE flesh BY Yahweh performing His own SPOKEN words of PROPHECY. God Himself did not BECOME flesh, but rather, God dwelt in the flesh of His HUMAN Son, Jesus, according to 2 Corinthians 5:18-21. To say this another way, Jesus preexisted IN PROPHECY, as the LOGOS of God, the SAYING of God, the SPOKEN word of God written down by men of old foretelling us of his coming into existence where he never existed before EXCEPT WITHIN Almighty God as God's thoughts and desires to bring forth into existence. These things HAPPENED and were WRITTEN for our example and for our admonition or WARNING. Again, to ME, the only way that Jesus pre-existed was in the FORM of God's LOGOS, the SAYING of God, or the SPOKEN WORD of God that was PROPHESIED and written down by men of old. These prophecies were WRITTEN in the word of God speaking of the yet future COMING of Jesus as the CHRIST. Not one single prophecy in the Old Testament prophecies even remotely teaches us of a literal pre-existing Jesus. There are NO prophecies of the Son of God coming down out of heaven as the SON of God to become the Son of MAN but yet remain to be fully God in the flesh. Yes, there are some verses in both the Old and New Testament that SEEM to be saying that Jesus pre-existed, but I assure you that there are other ways to interpret every one of the verses of Scripture. For you see, it is the WAY that these verses are translated and INTERPRETED as to why they SEEM to be saying something that they are not truly saying if they were CORRECTLY interpreted in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of Almighty God. So I implore you my dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus Christ, to THINK these verses through for yourself. Have an open heart and mind to hear the WHOLE matter. For you see, IF Jesus PRE-EXISTED in some literal form whether his form was as the Son of Almighty God being a so-called God the Son, the second person of the Trinity. Or whether it was that Jesus pre-existed as an ANGEL. Or whether it was that Jesus pre-existed some divine eternal SPIRIT being named or called the Word who was WITH God being alongside God. Then that would contradict the MANY other verses of Scripture that clearly teach us that God was ALONE and BY HIMSELF when He alone and by Himself created all things.
Please read Isaiah 44:24.
“Thus says the LORD, your redeemer, and He that formed you from the womb, I am the LORD that makes all things; that stretches forth the heavens ALONE; that spreads abroad the earth BY MYSELF;”
The only reason Christians interpret verses of Scripture to mean that Jesus pre-existed in the eternity past is to try and make Jesus be Almighty God Himself because the Old Testament clearly teaches us that there is but ONE God. But yet in the New Testament Jesus is called God by his God and Father in Hebrews 1:8,9.
Please read Hebrews 1:8,9.
“But unto the Son, he said, Your throne, O God, is forever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom. 9. You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.”
So then, HOW did the doctrine of a Trinity Godhead come into existence? Way back in the third-century, Christians began debating on how BOTH the Father AND His Son can be God? For you see, there is just ONE God in the Old Testament. The Oneness Christians came up with their own personal theory that the ONE God is ONE person who then manifested Himself in different modes. And they teach that Jesus IS the Father, as in, a MANIFESTATION OF the Father so that the invisible God can be SEEN. And the Trinitarian Christians came up with their own personal theory that since Jesus is clearly seen as a SEPARATE person FROM the Father, then the ONE God must be made up of three SEPARATE persons. Yet other Christians believed that there were only TWO separate beings and that Jesus was [a] God under and subject to his God and Father. Today, these Christians are called BIBLICAL Unitarians. Please read the study D-1. WHAT is BIBLICAL UNITARIANISM? Now, I myself, believe that Jesus is [a] God who was created BY the ONE true God Yahweh the Father. And thus, to me, there is ONE TRUE God that is ONE God in ONE person who is the Father ALONE. And the ONE true God or the one TRUTHFUL God manifested or CREATED Himself a God to rule FOR Him in His NAME for a 1000 years in the world to come. When I read the PROPHECIES of the coming Messiah, I simply see the ORDER in which the EVENTS of prophecy are prophesied. And then I compare the prophecies in the Old Testament with the FULFILLMENT of the prophecies in the New Testament. Every Christian knows about the TWO comings of Jesus but I do not know how many Christians have noticed that in some passages of Scripture BOTH comings are in the SAME prophecy. So if you did NOT know about the TWO separate comings of Jesus then you might confuse the two comings as just one coming. That is one reason why the Jews missed seeing their Messiah suffering and dying on the cross at the FIRST coming of Jesus. So as you read Isaiah 9:6,7 please notice the ORDER in which the events are PROPHESIED.
Isaiah 9:6,7.
“For (Order of event #1 that has already been FULFILLED) unto us, a CHILD is BORN, (THEN comes Order of event #2 that has also already been FULFILLED) unto us a son is given: (Speaking of the HUMAN Son of MAN, Jesus was given as the ONE sacrifice for the sins of the world) and (And THEN Order of event #3 is YET FUTURE and it is YET TO BE FULFILLED) the government shall be upon his shoulder: and (And THEN will come Order of event #4 is YET FUTURE and it is YET TO BE FULFILLED WHEN the government will be set upon the shoulder of Jesus IN the world to come) his NAME shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, (Or more precisely, the Father or the AUTHOR of eternal life, as in, BECAUSE OF Jesus obeying his God and Father's will, Jesus made it possible for whosoever believes in him shall be saved. For you see, the Son of MAN, Jesus, was GIVEN the authority and the power to JUDGE and give eternal life to whomever he chooses. This is why Psalms 2 prophesied to kiss the feet of God’s Son whom He ordained to be His King of kings and Lord of lords to rule FOR Yahweh in the world to come WHEN the governments are laid upon the shoulders of Jesus for 1000 years) The Prince of Peace. (And, according to Revelation 1:5, Jesus is our Prince right now standing at the right hand of God. But at his second coming, Jesus will SIT on the right hand of Yahweh to rule and reign FOR Yahweh as the Lord of the Sabbath. And at that time, the kingdoms of this present world will become the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. And) 7. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.”
So then, according to the PROPHECIES, the child was born FIRST, THEN the Son of MAN was GIVEN as God’s Lamb slain from before the foundation of the world. And THEN, in the world yet to come, the now HIGHLY EXALTED Son of MAN, Jesus will be CALLED the mighty God, his NEW NAME, that God GAVE to him after the cross and resurrection. And Jesus will rule FOR Yahweh for 1000 years in the NAME OF Yahweh. And then, after 1000 years of reigning in PEACE having no WARS, Jesus will step down from ruling and commit the ruling of the kingdom BACK into the hands of his God and Father so that God will be all and in all. And all this will be done so that God can JUDGE Satan, the fallen angels, and the world BY the MAN who He ORDAINED and resurrected from the dead, according to Acts 17:29-31.
Please read 1 Corinthians 15:28 from the Message Bible.
“When everything and everyone is finally under God's rule, the Son will STEP DOWN, taking his place with everyone else, showing that God's rule is absolutely comprehensive - a perfect ending!”
Below is a complete list of all the studies that I have which show WHY I no longer believe in the doctrine of the Trinity and why I can NEVER believe in the doctrine of Oneness.
