SPELLING EDITED U-21. TITUS 2:13 Does God and Savior = JESUS? Is Almighty God, Yahweh the FATHER our Savior? Or Is Jesus our Lord our Savior? Or Are BOTH Yahweh the Father AND Jesus our Savior? Both, Almighty God the Father, and the Son of God are called our Savior in the Bible but that does NOT make the Son of God BE the Father. But yet Trinitarian Christians use Titus 2:13 to try and prove that Jesus IS Yahweh Himself. Let us go ahead and read Titus 2:13. Titus 2:13. “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ;” Now to me, this verse can be read or interpreted as saying the following in my own paraphrased translation. My own paraphrase translation of Titus 2:13. “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God (Speaking of Almighty God the Father) AND (The glorious appearing of) our Savior Jesus Christ;” The purpose of this study is to look closely at what these Scriptures actually say about who is our Savior and determine if verses of Scripture like Titus 2:13 support the doctrine of the Trinity. We will also see if Jesus as being our Savior supports the doctrine of Oneness. Now, BOTH Trinitarian Christians and Oneness Pentecostal Christians teach the doctrine of the Deity of Jesus DURING the days of his FLESH which teaches that Jesus was fully Almighty God and fully man at the same time having TWO natures at the SAME time, one divine, and one human. In other words, does Titus 2:13 teach us that Jesus IS God, as in, do verses like Titus 2:13 teach us that Jesus is THE ALMIGHTY God, the ONLY TRUE God Yahweh Himself? Or have these verses of Scripture been taken out of context and made to say something which they are NOT truly saying when they are left in their context and then compared to other like verses? To say this another way, is it a “correct INTERPRETATION” of the conjunction “AND” to say that the great God AND our Savior Jesus Christ are ONE and the SELF-SAME being? Or, is it a “correct INTERPRETATION” of the conjunction “AND” to say that the great God AND our Savior are TWO separate beings? The word “Savior” is found 37 times in the Bible, 13 times in the Old Testament, and 24 times in the New Testament. Let's begin this study with a couple of verses from the Old Testament that definitely and, without a doubt, refer to Almighty God the Father as being the Savior. Psalm 106:21. “They forgot God their savior, which had done great things in Egypt.” It was Almighty God that brought the children of Israel out of the bondage of Egypt. So here in Psalm 106:21, we see that Almighty God the Father is clearly shown as being God their savior, the savior of God's people Israel. Isaiah 45:21. “Tell you, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who has declared this from ancient time? Who has told it from that time? Have not I the LORD? And there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Savior; there is none beside me.” This verse again plainly shows that Almighty God Yahweh the Father as being the Savior. BUT what some Christians have failed to see is that this verse of Scripture has a “hidden” prophecy of Jesus as being the Savior that Yahweh will raise up in the future which was FULFILLED in Jesus. When Christians read and interpret these verses out of their context and Christians are told over and over what they mean and that is no other God but ONE God, and since Jesus is called God, then, therefore, Jesus MUST BE the ONE God of the Old Testament, then it can be hard to see any other meaning to all the “NO God BESIDE ME” verses of Scripture in the Old Testament. But when you read the CONTEXT we can clearly see that there IS another God, as in, there is another God being PROPHESIED to come into being. And there are also Elohim Gods that are no longer UPRIGHT Gods speaking of Lucifer and the fallen angels. So then, let us read Isaiah 45:21 that is used by both Oneness Christians and Trinitarian Christians to try and FORCE Jesus to BE Yahweh Himself so that you can see that King Cyrus is a type or figure of Jesus. In the previous chapter of Isaiah, Yahweh called King Cyrus His SHEPHERD who will perform all of Yahweh’s pleasures. And we know that Jesus is called Yahweh’s SHEPHERD as well who was well-pleasing to Yahweh. Then in verse 1 in Isaiah chapter 45, we see King Cyrus being called Yahweh’s ANOINTED and that Yahweh will hold his right hand. And we know that Jesus was ANOINTED by Yahweh the Father as well. Let us read the whole chapter.
Isaiah chapter 45:1-25.
“Thus says the LORD TO His ANOINTED, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; (Here we see Yahweh talking TO His ANOINTED King Cyrus to reassure him that his God is with him which agrees with the prophecies of Jesus in Isaiah 41:13 and Isaiah 42:6) and I will loosen the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; 2. I will go before you, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: 3. And I will give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, (The treasures of the unjust are laid up for the just in the world to come) that you may know that I, the LORD, which call you by your name, am the God of Israel. (The verb “am” is not in the original text. The LITERAL translation reads “I Yahweh, the one calling in NAME of YOU the God of Israel”. Yahweh is prophesying TO His ANOINTED Shepherd calling his NAME the God of Israel. Jesus was given a NEW name AFTER the cross that is above every other name so that every knee will bow and every tongue confess the Jesus is Lord to the glory OF Almighty God the Father. Acts 2:36 clearly teaches us that Jesus was MADE Lord by his God and Father, Yahweh) 4. For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called you by your name: I have surnamed you, though you have not known me. (To me, this verse proves that Jesus did not literally pre-exist in eternity past because Jesus did not know Yahweh. Jesus was TAUGHT the Scriptures morning by morning as the Yahweh visited him through the Holy Spirit, according to Isaiah 50:4-6 and Hebrews 2:6) 5. I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded you, though you have not known me: (This verse LITERALLY means that there are NO FURTHER Elohim except Me. In other words, Yahweh, the one true God in one person who SET some of Hs angels to be gods or Eohim under Him is teaching us that He cannot trust the gods that He set to be gods and that He can only trust Himself. The rest of the verse is Yahweh speaking through the Scriptures to His yet future Messiah who He will highly exalt to become the God over the whole earth during the world yet to come for a 1000 years. Yahweh is saying, I am girding you even though you have not known me, referring to His yet future Messiah, the Son of MAN, Jesus. Remember and be aware of the fact that Lucifer and ONE-THIRD of the Elohim rebelled and made war against Yahweh. So Almighty God is in the process of dethroning Satan and PROMOTING another to take the place of Lucifer as the God of the whole earth) 6. That they may know (Speaking of the fallen Elohim) from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. (The phrase “none beside me” means that there will be no God APART FROM and without Yahweh and therefore the fallen Elohim will be NO FURTHER) 7. I form the light, and create darkness: (Or more precisely, I Yahweh FORM the LIGHT, speaking prophetically of Messiah Jesus. And I Yahweh CUT DOWN darkness, speaking of Lucifer and the fallen angels) I make peace, and create evil: (Or I Yahweh make PEACE or I bring WAR to an END for all eternity future. And I Yahweh CUT DOWN and destroy EVIL for all eternity) I the LORD do all these things. 8. Drop down, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: (Speaking of the second coming of Jesus with all his saints and his army of angels to execute the WRATH of Yahweh) let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it. (Yahweh begat, formed and created Jesus FROM the womb to be the salvation of whosoever believes in the Son of the living God as the atonement for their sins) 9. Woe unto him that strives with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashions it, What make you? Or your work, He has no hands? (Remember the prophecy in Jeremiah 1:5,6 saying I can not speak I am just a CHILD and Yahweh says do not say you are a child, I am sending you and you are to speak the words that I will instruct you to speak. I believe that Yahweh is speaking TO His shepherd Jesus in these verses when Jesus was a child) 10. Woe unto him that says unto his father, What beget you? Or to the woman, What have you brought forth? (I can see Jesus as a child when he first found out that Joseph was not his biological father and Yahweh is comforting him with the Scriptures showing His human Son that the Scripture speak of him. And at the same time the Holy Spirit was teaching Jesus as a child to NOT strive with his Maker) 11. Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, (Or the LITERAL translation says, thus says Yahweh [TO] the Holy One of Israel, the one making of him) Ask me of things to come concerning my sons and concerning the work of my hands, you command me. 12. I have made the earth, and created man upon it: (Or I Yahweh have made the earth and I have created a HUMAN upon it or I have created a MAN upon it) I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded. 13. I have raised him up in righteousness, (Speaking of the MAN that Yahweh created upon the earth to BE the God of Israel to rule FOR Yahweh for 1000 years in the world to come) and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, says the LORD of hosts. 14. Thus says the LORD, The labor of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto you, and they shall be yours: they shall come after you; in chains, they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto you, they shall make supplication unto you, saying, Surely God is IN you, and there is none else, there is no God. (Or surely EL is IN YOU My Messiah Jesus whom I have SET to be God of Israel and NO FURTHER the Elohim fallen gods no more) 15. Verily (Or TRULY) you are a God that hides yourself, O God of Israel, the Savior. (To me, this verse could be interpreted as Jesus being a HUMBLE God as opposed to Lucifer being a BOASTFUL God and Yahweh is well pleased with His workmanship of raising up a righteous God. Or the first half of the verse could be interpreted as the “invisible hidden” Yahweh and the last half of verse 15 as being Jesus the Savior and the God of Israel that Yahweh made Lord and Savior. The Hebrew word translated as HIDES also means to KEEP SECRET and the pronoun YOURSELF is not in the text. So verse 15 could read Verily (Or TRULY) you are a God that KEEP SECRET, O God of Israel, the Savior.) 16. They (Speaking of the FALLEN Elohim, Lucifer, and the fallen angels) shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols. (Speaking of the devils causing or deceiving humans to make idols to the devils) 17. But Israel shall be saved IN the LORD with an everlasting salvation: (When a person is saved IN Jesus they are ALSO IN Yahweh the Father as well) you shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end. 18. For thus says the LORD that created the heavens; God Himself that formed the earth and made it; He has established it, He created it not in vain, He formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD, and there is none else. (Yahweh is one God in ONE PERSON and Yahweh ALONE created the universe and there was no other being with Yahweh in eternity past. But to me, this verse was intended to be speaking of the RE-CREATION of the earth in view of the following verses. So again, Yahweh in one person restored the earth alone and by Himself) 19. I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said NOT unto the seed of Jacob, Seek you me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right. 20. Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, you that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image and prays unto a god that cannot save. 21. Tell you, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who has declared this from ancient time? Who has told it from that time? Have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Savior; there is none beside me. (This verse is saying that Yahweh Himself has DONE all of this. We KNOW that there IS a God beside Yahweh after the cross so this verse is saying I Yahweh have prophesied this from the foundation of the earth and APART FROM me there is no God without me. And there is no SAVIOR apart from or WITHOUT Yahweh. Jesus did not self exalt himself to be our Savior. But rather, Yahweh prophesied that He would raise up a Savior from among the people. Philippians 2:8-11 teaches us that Yahweh gave Jesus a NAME above every other name and that every knee will bow at the NAME and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord TO the GLORY of Almighty God Yahweh the Father) 22. Look unto me, (Or look unto him the Savior I raised up for you who came in my NAME) and be you saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. 23. I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of My mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. 24. Surely, shall one say, in the LORD (Or IN Yahweh our Righteousness shall his NAME be CALLED) have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed. (Yahweh the Father GAVE the Son of MAN, Jesus a NEW NAME after the cross that is ABOVE EVERY other NAME. And the only NAME that is above every other Name is the name “Yahweh”. So at the NAME “Yahweh” the new name given to Jesus will every knee bow and confess that Jesus is their “lord” to the glory OF Yahweh the Father) 25. In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.”
Yahweh glorified the Son of MAN, Jesus, and in the world yet to come the NOW eternal Son of God will bring GLORY to his God and Father Yahweh. But both Oneness Christians and Trinitarian Christians use Isaiah 45:21 to try and force Jesus to be Yahweh Himself. Let us now read two verses from the New Testament that clearly shows or teaches us that the ONE TRUE and ONLY Almighty God is our Savior.
I Timothy 2:3.
“For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior.”
Jude verse 25.
“To the ONLY wise God our Savior, be the glory and majesty, and dominion and power, both now and forever, Amen.”
Now, some Christians may be wondering why I say Almighty God rather than just plain God. And at times I even EMPHASIZE the title Almighty and say THE ALMIGHTY God. I do this because when some Christians see the word “God” they just automatically substitute the name Jesus in place of the word “God” because they have been “indoctrinated” over and over that Jesus IS God, and that Jesus is FULLY God in the flesh. And most Christians ASSUME that since Jesus is called God by his Father, then this means that Jesus is THE ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God HIMSELF. Well, the Bible itself does indeed teach us that Jesus IS called by the TITLE of God but the WHOLE word of Almighty God clearly ALSO teaches us as well that Jesus is NOT THE ALMIGHTY God, who ALONE is the FATHER. You see my dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Bible plainly teaches that for us, speaking of us as Christians or believers in Jesus as the Christ, the Son of the living God, that there is but ONE God and then clearly states that this ONE God IS the FATHER.
Please read 1 Corinthians 8:5,6.
“For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in the earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) 6. But to us there is but ONE God, the FATHER, of whom are all things, and we in him; AND (To us as Christians, there is but) one Lord Jesus Christ, by (Or FOR) whom are all things, and we by him.”
The word “THINGS” is NOT in the original text. The word “ALL” is speaking of the ALL of WHOSOEVER BELIEVES in Jesus as the Christ the Son OF the living God. So clearly, the Apostle Paul is teaching that to us as Christians the ONE TRUE God IS THE ALMIGHTY God who ALONE is the FATHER. Now some of you may be thinking something like, “Did you not just say only a moment ago that Jesus IS GOD?” Yes, I did. And I did so because the Bible clearly teaches us that Jesus IS God, as in, a God under and subject to his God and Father the ONLY true God. But if you remember I also said that Jesus is NOT THE ALMIGHTY God who ALONE is the FATHER. Now some of you may be thinking, “Now you are confusing me, brother Mark, because 1 Corinthians 8:6 clearly says that there is just ONE God. So how can Almighty God the Father be the ONE TRUE and ONLY Almighty God ALONE when the Bible teaches us that Jesus IS also God? Would this not mean that Jesus IS THE ALMIGHTY God?” Well, there is one church denomination that teaches their followers that Jesus IS the FATHER and that Almighty God the FATHER IS His SON Jesus, as in, both are ONE and the SELF-SAME BEING. And this doctrine is called modalism or the Oneness doctrine sometimes referred to as the United Pentecostal Oneness Church which teaches that there are three “manifestations” of the ONE God. And some other church denominations teach that Almighty God the Father is God, Jesus the Son of God is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, but these THREE are NOT three separate Gods, but rather, they are three separate persons in ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God where all three persons are co-equal which means that they are all equal with each other in every way where none is less than or greater than the other. This is called the doctrine of the Trinity which also teaches that all three persons of the Trinity are co-eternal, meaning that they all have existed for all eternity where none had a beginning or an ending.
But what I teach and what I believe that the WHOLE word of God clearly teaches is that THE ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God is the FATHER ALONE who is THE God OVER his SON Jesus whom he has HIGHLY EXALTED to BECOME a God under his God and Father the ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God who ALONE is the FATHER.
Now, some of you may be thinking, “Now brother Mark, that would be TWO Gods and the Bible clearly teaches us that there is just ONE God.” No! That is what some Christians have INTERPRETED different verses in the Bible to mean. You see, my dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus Christ, the early church KNEW that the ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God was the FATHER alone. And they knew that Jesus was the SON OF Almighty God the Father. So they simply wrote the word “God” to refer to the ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God and they wrote the words Son, Jesus, Jesus Christ, Lord Jesus Christ, the Christ, Christ, and our Lord, to refer to the SON OF the one true and only ALMIGHTY God the FATHER. The early church did NOT teach that Almighty God the Father and his Son Jesus were ONE and the SELF-SAME being as some Christians falsely teach. Nor did the early church teach the man-made doctrine of the Trinity. But rather, the early church taught that we must believe in BOTH the Father AND the SON, and if one does not believe in the SON OF Almighty God the Father, then they do NOT have the FATHER either. The Bible itself is NOT confusing in the least bit, but rather, it is all the FALSE INTERPRETATIONS that has brought all this confusion. So this is why I EMPHASIZE so much to make absolutely sure you KNOW who I am speaking about when I say, God, because when I say God I am referring to THE ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God who ALONE is the FATHER. The early church understood this already so they did not make such clear emphasis as I do, but there is enough clear distinction between Almighty God the Father and His SON Jesus in the Bible that we need not be confused. We do not need confusing and CONTRADICTORY doctrines such as modalism or Oneness and the Trinity that try to harmonize the FACT that there is but ONE God, and the fact the two separate persons are CALLED God by TITLE. We do NOT have to FORCE the TWO Gods by TITLE to be just ONE God when we UNDERSTAND what the early church UNDERSTOOD. What I mean by this is that the early church UNDERSTOOD that there were MANY Gods, but to us as Christians, there is only ONE TRUE and ALMIGHTY God who is the FATHER, who had a SON that was given the name Jesus whom Almighty God the Father HIGHLY EXALTED to BECOME a God to sit on the right hand of the ONE TRUE God who ALONE is the MOST-HIGH ALMIGHTY God the FATHER that is OVER all other Gods INCLUDING his SON Jesus. Please read the study “OUR GOD IS ONE!” which will explain in detail the true sound Biblical meanings of the Old Testament verses that SEEM to say that there is just ONE God, but in reality, they are saying that there is just one ALMIGHTY God who made or created all other Gods by TITLE. Now, this does NOT mean that Almighty God the Father created FALSE gods like IDOLS. But what it does mean is that the Bible clearly teaches us that Almighty God the Father is THE God of Gods. This means that Almighty God the FATHER is THE God over the gods that he created or made to become gods. Satan is the god of this present world. Lucifer ruled on his throne that Almighty God gave to him and then Lucifer rebelled against the MOST-HIGH God and made war against his creator. Please read the study called “UNDERSTANDING WHY?” and “THE WAR IN HEAVEN-Revelation 12!” for a deeper understanding of why God allows Satan to bring evil upon mankind. Now, I said all of this to say that while there might SEEM to be TWO saviors, in TRUTH, there is just ONE savior who chose to use his SON Jesus as the MEANS by which Almighty God the Father will save WHOSOEVER believes in his SON Jesus as the Messiah who died for their sins and that God raised his Son from the dead after three days. So with that being said let us continue to look at the verses that plainly show that Jesus is ALSO our Savior.
2 Timothy 1:10.
“But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death, and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.”
Then in Philippians 3:20, we read.
“For our conversation in heaven; from whence also we LOOK FOR the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.”
But we ALSO look for our great God Yahweh the Father who is coming with Jesus. Now, these verses clearly show us that Jesus Christ is our Savior, so I can see how one could conclude that since Jesus Christ is shown to be our Savior AND Almighty God the Father is shown to be our Savior, then, therefore, Jesus IS God, as in, Jesus is ONE and the SELF-SAME Almighty God who is always clearly identified as being the FATHER.
But again, is this conclusion an entirely correct conclusion which some dogmatically teach to be so?
I can also see how one could conclude that we have TWO saviors, but again, is this conclusion an entirely correct conclusion?
Are the Father and the Son fighting over who saved us? NO!. The Father is our Savior who chose the MEANS by which to save us. So for ME, I chose yet a third possibility, which I offer to you my readers and all who will hear. In this third option, I conclude that Almighty God the Father is our SAVIOR, who CHOSE to use his SON, whom he GAVE the NAME Jesus, as the MEANS by which ALMIGHTY God the FATHER himself would SAVE his creation through or by his SON Jesus. Remember that the NAME of Jesus MEANS the salvation OF YAHWEH or YAHWEH SAVES. So even the name of Jesus clearly teaches us that Almighty God the FATHER is the one who actually is our Savior who CHOSE to use His very own word of prophecy to beget Himself a human Son and the use His human Son to be the means by which the Father redeems mankind back to Himself. In other words, Almighty God the Father has chosen that we MUST BELIEVE in His SON in order to receive eternal life in the world to come. So to all Muslims and to all Jews and to every other religion if you do NOT believe that Jesus is the SON OF the ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God the FATHER, then you are NOT saved and you will NOT receive eternal life in the world to come. The ONLY word of TRUTH, the Holy Bible, makes it very clear that the name of Jesus is the ONLY NAME under heaven that is given among all of mankind whereby we MUST be saved. Since there are those that teach that Jesus is NOT God and there are those who teach that Jesus IS God, and those who teach the Jesus IS God, but that Jesus is NOT THE ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God, and all sides use the Bible as their foundation to support what they teach, then it should be obvious to all that only one side is correct. But which side? So then, let us continue in this study to see IF the conclusion that some have drawn that Jesus IS God, as in meaning that Jesus is THE ALMIGHTY God, based upon the observation that BOTH Jesus Christ and Almighty God are shown to be the Savior of the world. So again the question is, “Does that fact and undeniable truth that the Bible plainly teaches that BOTH Jesus Christ AND Almighty God the Father are shown to be the Savior, therefore, prove without a doubt the Jesus IS God, as in, that this means without fail that Jesus is ONE and the SELF SAME being as Almighty God”? In other words, does the fact that some verses say that Almighty God is our savior, while other verses say that Jesus is our savior MEAN that Jesus IS THE ALMIGHTY God HIMSELF in the FLESH? Let me make this as plain and simple as I can by asking this simple question, “Is the conclusion or the interpretation of these verses that show BOTH the FATHER and his SON Jesus to be SAVIOR that some dogmatically teach and demand to MEAN that Jesus is THE ALMIGHTY God a CORRECT conclusion or interpretation of these verses when they are compared to the REST of the word of Almighty God?” Let us continue this study in God's word to reveal the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God to see if this INTERPRETATION that Jesus IS the one true and only ALMIGHTY God is a correct interpretation of these verses. Titus 1:2,3 tells us this.
“In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, PROMISED before the world began; 3. But has in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Savior.”
The first part of 2 Kings 13:5a reads.
“The LORD (Speaking of Yahweh Himself, Almighty God the Father) GAVE (Or is giving) Israel a savior...”
Then 1 John 4:14 says.
“And have seen and do testify that the Father (Almighty God the Father) SENT the SON to BE the Savior of the world.”
Please understand that the Greek word “TRANSLATED” as “SENT” means “COMMISSIONED”. And the word commissioned means to GIVE power and authority to a person to accomplish the task that they are given to do. The word “sent” does NOT mean that God sent down God the Son to be the Savior of the world. But rather, God EMPOWERED His HUMAN Jesus to endure the cross to become the Savior of the world. Next, we read in Acts 13:23 the following.
Acts 13:23.
“Of this man's seed (Speaking of King David) has God (Referring to Almighty God the Father) according to his promise RAISED unto Israel a Savior, Jesus.”
And one more verse should be sufficient.
In Acts 5:31 we read.
“Him (Speaking of Jesus) has God (Referring to Almighty God the Father) EXALTED with his right hand TO BE a Prince and a Savior, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.”
This was God's PLAN of salvation from before the foundation of the world to provide His OWN pure innocent lamb to be slain to redeem or reconcile mankind back to himself.
Please read 2 Corinthians 5:19.
“To wit, that God was IN Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and has committed unto us the word of reconciliation.”
So then, we can CLEARLY see from these verses of Scripture that Almighty God the Father PROMISED unto us a Savior. We also see from these verses that the Lord God Almighty HIMSELF GAVE to us His Son Jesus as His Savior to save all who believe and trust in His savior, his SON Jesus. And yet again, we also see from these verses that this Savior that Almighty God the Father promised to raise up from among his people is His only begotten SON Jesus, which Almighty God HIMSELF sent or COMMISSIONED to be the Savior of the world. The human Jesus became the ONLY begotten Son of God after the cross. In other words, for now Jesus is the only begotten Son but at the coming of Jesus all of the whosoever who believe will ALSO be made the eternal sons of God. Jesus if the firstborn among MANY BRETHREN. Therefore, these verses clearly teach us that Almighty God the Father then RAISED UP and EXALTED His HUMAN Son Jesus to be a Savior AFTER His human Son Jesus became obedient unto death on the cross. Please do NOT misunderstand what I am teaching. I am NOT trying to pull Jesus down from the place that Almighty God the Father has HIGHLY EXALTED His SON. But rather, I am doing my best to teach you the TRUE Jesus which the word of TRUTH clearly describes to us so that you will NOT be deceived by another FALSE Jesus as some churches dogmatically teach. Let me try to explain what I mean by this. There are those who dogmatically teach the DOCTRINE of the deity of Jesus, which states that Jesus IS GOD, as in, Jesus being FULLY ALMIGHTY GOD HIMSELF in the FLESH and fully man at the same time. And there are some Christians, who also teach the DOCTRINE of the Trinity, which teaches that Jesus is EQUAL with Almighty God the Father in every way where neither is less than or greater than the other. The DOCTRINE of the Trinity also states that Jesus is NOT God the Father and that God the Father is NOT his SON Jesus, but BOTH are ALMIGHTY GOD, and yet there are NOT TWO Gods but ONLY ONE GOD. Again the doctrine of the Trinity states that Jesus is THE ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God and that the FATHER is the ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God but yet this confusing doctrine states that Jesus is NOT the Father and the Father is NOT Jesus but yet BOTH are ONE and the SELF SAME ALMIGHTY God EQUAL in every way where neither is less than or greater than the other. And then there is an even more confusing doctrine called the Oneness doctrine that teaches that Jesus IS the FATHER and the Father IS Jesus and when we get to heaven we will only see ONE being who will be Jesus. It boggles my mind how some Oneness Christians cannot seem to see that Jesus is a separate person from the Father. But thanks be to God there are MANY Oneness believers who are now seeing the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God that Jesus is NOT the FATHER. Now please keep in mind that those who teach the doctrine of the Trinity mean by the term just ONE God that when the word “GOD” is used that it ALWAYS means ALMIGHTY God. So, therefore, they conclude that Jesus IS THE ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God, but yet they teach that Jesus is NOT Almighty God the FATHER. And it boggles my mind how some Trinitarians cannot seem to see that Jesus is NOT THE one true and ONLY ALMIGHTY God who ALONE is the FATHER. But thanks be to God many Trinitarian Christians are seeing that Jesus is NOT Almighty God and also many Oneness Christians are seeing that Jesus is NOT the FATHER. Now the word of TRUTH, the Holy Bible, does indeed clearly teach us that there is but ONE TRUE ALMIGHTY GOD. So, therefore, to ME, IF, Jesus IS GOD, being FULLY GOD according to the DOCTRINE of Oneness, the Trinity and the deity of Jesus, then, to ME, according to these doctrines of Oneness, the Trinity and the deity of Jesus teach that Jesus must without fail also be THE ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY GOD HIMSELF. The DOCTRINE of the Trinity and deity of Jesus plainly states that God the Father and God the Son are CO-EQUAL meaning that they are EQUAL in every way where neither is less than or greater than the other. Therefore IF this were the truth, then to be EQUAL would make Jesus be ALMIGHTY as well. Now for ME, I find that there is a PROBLEM with this illogical and confusing doctrine of the Trinity because the man-made DOCTRINE of the Trinity PLAINLY states the Jesus is NOT the FATHER, but Jesus IS Almighty God Himself CONTRADICTS the word of TRUTH, the Holy Bible, that clearly teaches us that the ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God IS the FATHER. Therefore, IF SO BE that Jesus being called God by his God and Father TRULY means that Jesus is Almighty God Himself having two natures, one divine and one human so that he could be FULLY the Almighty God in the FLESH and EQUAL with Almighty God the FATHER, then Jesus, according to the doctrine of the Trinity, would be the FATHER Himself. Now to me, every time Trinitarian Christians try and prove that Jesus is Yahweh Himself they are really saying that Jesus is the FATHER which contradicts their own doctrine. However, this is NOT what the Bible teaches, but RATHER, the word of TRUTH teaches us that Jesus is NOT the FATHER. In fact, the WHOLE word of God teaches that Jesus is NOT EQUAL with Almighty God the FATHER. And in the light of the WHOLE Bible, the Scriptures clearly teach us that Jesus is NOT the ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY GOD, but rather the Bible ITSELF teaches us that Jesus was SENT or COMMISSIONED BY Almighty God the Father to show us the ONE TRUE GOD who ALONE is the FATHER. Please read John 17:1-3, where Jesus HIMSELF CLEARLY and PLAINLY identifies the FATHER as the TRUE GOD and himself as one SENT BY his God and Father, THE ALMIGHTY.
John 17:1-3.
“These words spoke Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour comes; glorify YOUR Son, that YOUR Son also may glorify YOU: 2. As YOU have GIVEN him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as YOU have given him. 3. And THIS is life eternal, that they might KNOW YOU the ONLY TRUE God, AND Jesus Christ, whom YOU have SENT.”
So then, WHAT does the Bible teach about Jesus? Please keep reading this study in God's word to learn WHO is ACTUALLY the SAVIOR of mankind as well as all the studies I have written to learn WHO Jesus IS ACCORDING to what the WHOLE word of TRUTH teaches us. One good study to start with is >>>WHO IS JESUS ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE?<<< along with the study called “IS JESUS ALMIGHTY GOD?”. But for now, let us continue to learn what the WHOLE word of God teaches us as to who is our savior: Jesus or Almighty God the Father? So what does the Bible, the word of TRUTH of Almighty God, actually teach us? Well, what the Bible teaches us is that ALMIGHTY God, the ONLY TRUE and wise God is the SAVIOR and that he himself chose his SON, whom he gave the NAME Jesus, to be the MEANS by which he is going to bring about salvation. Here is an illustration that will help you better see what I am saying since many of you have been dogmatically taught that Jesus IS THE ALMIGHTY God HIMSELF. Suppose there was a lifeguard that will represent Almighty God the Father as being our Savior. This lifeguard saw someone drowning and he desired to save this drowning person. So then, this lifeguard picked up a rope with a flotation device tied to it and he hurled it to the drowning person while he himself still held fast to the other end of the rope. Then the lifeguard shouts to the drowning person, grab hold of the life preserver and I will pull you into safety. The drowning person then grabs hold of the life ring and holds on tightly while the lifeguard pulls him out of the raging sea to the safety of the shore. I will now give you all the other names of the various parts of this story as to who they represent to make it clearer. The lifeguard as you already know represents Almighty God the Father, the rope I will call the word of God, and the life preserver I will call Jesus, the Son of God, and of course, the drowning person is all of mankind. Now I ask you, is Almighty God the Father the Savior? Or is the word of God the Savior? Or is Jesus the savior? In other words, did the lifeguard save the drowning person, or did the rope save the drowning person? Or did the life preserver, the floating device, save the drowning person? To ME, it is clear that the Father PROVIDED a MEANS for salvation for mankind by sending us his word and his Son Jesus, or if you will by throwing us the rope and life preserver. In other words, Almighty God the Father CHOSE to use his Son and the preaching of the gospel as the means by which to bring about salvation, which by the way still REQUIRES the drowning persons or the one who is lost in sin to TAKE HOLD of this so great a salvation and HOLD FIRM to the END or until they have actually obtained eternal life in the world to come, which by the way is the safety of the shore. Can you not see my dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus Christ that the lifeguard could have chosen to swim out to the drowning person and personally bring him to the safety of the shore by himself. In the same way, Almighty God could have CHOSEN any means that he so desired to bring about the salvation of mankind. But WHAT Almighty God the Father CHOSE as the MEANS by which He HIMSELF would provide as the WAY for all of mankind to be saved is the foolishness of the preaching of His Son Jesus the Christ who suffered and died on the cross for the sins of the world. Now, if the lifeguard did NOTHING to save the drowning person, then the rope and life preserver would be POWERLESS to save anyone. So to ME, our true Savior is Almighty God the Father, but as our Savior, He Himself CHOSE to SEND His HUMAN anointed SON Jesus out into the world to reveal the FATHER to those who would BELIEVE the foolishness of preaching to save WHOSOEVER of all of mankind who BELIEVES in His SON Jesus dying on the cross to redeem them from sin IF they BELIEVE. And if you do NOT believe in the SON OF the ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God then you are NOT saved and you will NOT obtain eternal life in the world to come. Almighty God the Father chose to use His Son Jesus as the means by which He Himself provided for all of mankind to OBTAIN salvation. Now it is up to each and every person to accept this salvation and hold fast to it to the end. For you see, just like the drowning person we cannot save ourselves. HOWEVER at the same time, if WE do NOT grab hold of the life preserver and rope that God has thrown or given to us to SAVE us and CONTINUE to hold fast to both Jesus and the word of God our entire life, then we will be overcome by the sea and perish. For you see, we have not yet made it to the safety of the shore where we can rest in the arms of God the Father our Savior. We are still IN the raging world. We are to FIGHT the good fight of FAITH unto the END where we hear the voice of Jesus saying to us WELL DONE my GOOD and FAITHFUL SERVANT, ENTER into the JOY of the Lord. My point is that when anyone dogmatically demands that these verses that clearly show that BOTH Almighty God the Father AND His SON Jesus are SAVIOR MUST, without fail, MEAN that Jesus IS THE ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God and that there is NO OTHER way to INTERPRET these verses, then KNOW that they are NOT being completely honest with you. For you see, as you have just seen from this in-depth study in God's word that there are indeed other ways to interpret these verses that do NOT cause confusing doctrines such as the doctrine of the Trinity and the doctrine of Oneness that CONTRADICT other portions of God's word. And as far as the dual nature doctrine of the deity of Jesus DURING the days of his flesh there are absolutely no verses in the Bible itself that teach us that Jesus had two natures at the same time during the days of his flesh. The Son of MAN Jesus was GIVEN the divine nature of immortality AFTER the cross according to the Bible ITSELF. In closing, I would like to share with you a few other verses of Scripture that plainly show that Almighty God the Father is our Savior and that the Father is the ONLY Savior.
Isaiah 43:11 says.
“I, even I, am the Lord, and beside me, there is NO savior.”
Then Hosea 13:4 reads.
“Yet I am the Lord your God from the land of Egypt, and you shall know no god before me: for there is NO savior beside me.”
Remember that the Hebrew word translated as “beside” me also means there is no Savior APART FROM or WITHOUT Yahweh. Once again. to summarize this study in one sentence, God the Father, THE Almighty God, is our ONLY Savior, in that, He has CHOSEN to use His human Son, Jesus, as the MEANS by which the FATHER HIMSELF, through His WORKMANSHIP of performing His OWN word of prophecy, has provided or made available this so great a salvation to all of mankind who BELIEVE. But again, it is up to each and every individual to reach out and take hold and never let go of the means of salvation. In other words, it was Yahweh who PERFORMED His word of prophecy to bring His Messiah to pass. So those that teach the Oneness doctrine that Jesus IS God, as in, Jesus IS one and the SAME being as ALMIGHTY God have misused God's word and have taken verses out of the context and have not considered the WHOLE word of God. And those who teach the doctrine of the Trinity to say that Jesus or the Son of God has always existed without beginning have taken verses out of context as well and have not truly considered the WHOLE word of God. The TRUTH of the matter is that the Bible teaches that Jesus is the SON OF Almighty God the Father and that the word of God became flesh. In other words, God spoke his WORD to his servants and his prophets, who then, in turn, wrote his WORD down and prophesied God's WORD in the earth. Then in the fullness of time God sent his angel to a virgin named Mary and the angel spoke the WORD of God to Mary, who then AGREED to God's WORD saying, “be it done to me according to your WORD”. So then, God the Father manifested His spoken WORD of PROPHECY as we read earlier from Titus 1:2,3 in the womb of Mary to FORM His prophesied child to be born as a HUMAN being without any divine nature of immortality of any special powers to make him superior or greater than any other human being. The word manifest does not actually mean to become or be transformed into flesh. That is man's definition of the word manifest. So in truth, the word “manifested” means to reveal, to show, to appear or to make known. The word manifest does not actually mean to become or be transformed into flesh. That is man's definition of the word manifest. The word “appear” means to come into view, to become visible, or to come into existence. God had promised a Savior from the foundation of the world, which He kept secret for a time. Then He revealed it to His servants, the prophets, one piece of the puzzle at a time until the fullness of time had come and all was set right in place for His WORD of prophecy to be revealed and to appear in the FLESH. That is to say, the fullness of time had come for the spoken Word of Almighty God to BECOME flesh and be FORMED in the womb of the Virgin Mary to be born of a woman and to dwell among men to reveal the true nature and character of the FATHER by the WORKS the Father did by dwelling in the Son of MAN from his baptism to the cross. The WORD of God became flesh to SHOW us the FATHER. The Bible teaches us that “GODLINESS” was the mystery WHO was manifested in the flesh to SHOW us the Father. So it was the Messiah who God manifested in the flesh by watching over His own word of prophecy to PERFORM His word to come to pass. Please see the study “1 TIMOTHY 3:16 GOD MANIFEST IN THE FLESH!” for the TRUE meaning of this verse. You see, when Mary AGREED to God's WORD that the angel spoke unto her which was also prophesied for hundreds of years before that unto us would be born a SON, then by Mary saying, “be it DONE unto me according to your WORD”, then God's WORD was allowed to be conceived within Mary's womb and the WORD was born or quickened or made alive in the womb of the woman and became FLESH to be BORN as a HUMAN BEING like you and I. Mary bore a son just as the angel Gabriel had said she would and then Mary named or called her son JESUS just as the angel had also told her to do. Please read the study “WHAT DOES GOD INCARNATE TRULY MEAN?” for the sound Biblical meaning of Almighty God HIMSELF becoming a human being void of any divine nature, but for now, let us continue with this study on Titus 2:13. The name JESUS means “Yahweh saves” or “The salvation OF Yahweh”. The word Yahweh is always rendered as being Almighty God in the Old Testament as the four Hebrew letters YHWH and is translated by some as Jehovah and by the King James Version as LORD in all capital letters. So even the name of Jesus points to Almighty God Yahweh the Father as being our Savior, and the word as the MEANS by which God chose to create all things by SPEAKING them into existence and the Son of MAN whom he chose to use to save mankind is no different. Yahweh SPOKE his word that came forth OUT FROM the MOUTH of God and was FULFILLED in Jesus. The Bible says that it PLEASED GOD by the foolishness of PREACHING to save them that believe, that is to say, to save those who reach out by FAITH and take hold of salvation that has been provided for them and hold fast to it unto the end. The word “BELIEVE” is a CONTINUAL act and not just a one-time event of having once believed. If you truly believe, then your actions will show it. Faith in Jesus is a LIFESTYLE of FOLLOWING the EXAMPLE that Jesus left for us as BELIEVERS to FOLLOW, which is to live our lives WITHOUT SIN as Jesus lived his life without sin. Again, please read the study of “HOW YOU CAN LIVE YOUR LIFE FREE FROM SIN!” in this present evil world. 1 Corinthians 1:21 says. “For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it PLEASED God by the foolishness of PREACHING (Which is the speaking forth God's word) to save them that BELIEVE.” This verse does not say to save them that have once believed or who have once confessed Jesus as their savior who THINKS or INCORRECTLY believes that they can NOT ever lose their salvation no matter what. But rather the word “BELIEVE” is an ACTION verb that means the CONTINUE believing continually. Faith is NOW in the present and if your faith ceases, then so does your salvation ALSO cease so long as you REMAIN in DISOBEDIENCE to the teachings of Jesus to DO or to KEEP the commandments of Almighty God the Father taught in the NEW Testament. Therefore, HOLD FAST to the confession of your faith which has great recompense of reward. Almighty God sent his only begotten Son to die for YOUR sins. If you believe and confess that Jesus died for your sins and that Jesus has now risen from the dead and you hold fast to this confession of your faith, then you too will DO the WORKS of Jesus and in the end, you will receive eternal life in the world to come. As you read God's word he himself will reveal from his word all that he desires you to DO. Jesus said if you LOVE me, then KEEP my commandments. And in another place, Jesus says if you LOVE me then KEEP my WORDS that I speak unto you that will judge you in the last day. OBEDIENCE is the underlying theme that runs through the ENTIRE word of God. OBEY his Holy Spirit and you will be IN ONLY the WAY to the Father. In other words, Christians who disobey the leading of the Holy Spirit to disobey the moral commandments of God to live in sin have STRAYED from the way that leads to the Father. The early church was called the WAY in the beginning and believers in Jesus were first called CHRISTIANS at Antioch. The early Christians were Christ like, hence the word Christians. If you have been taught the doctrine of the Trinity and that Jesus is fully God and fully man at the same time as many of us have, including me, and you would like to know more about the TRUTH of who Jesus then please read “37 THINGS TO PONDER ABOUT JESUS BEING GOD?” I have added many more in-depth studies related to the doctrine of the Trinity as requested. Please read the side menu for these studies and if you have a verse that is used to try and prove this man-made doctrine of the Trinity that I have not covered and you are STRUGGLING with that verse, then please write to me and let me know because every verse of Scripture that is used to try and teach the doctrine of the Trinity does indeed have ANOTHER INTERPRETATION that does not contradict any other portion of God's word. Thanks for reading and may God bless you richly as you seek to know the TRUTH of his holy word. Always remember that any doctrine can be taught using only PART of God's word which is what has been done by those that teach the doctrine of the Trinity and that Jesus is God in the flesh, fully God, and fully a man at the same time. Now I am confident that they do not know that they are teaching the word of God incorrectly, but rather, they are merely repeating what they themselves have been taught. We have all been deceived in one area or another at one time or another so do not blame and fight against people. It is the enemy Satan who does not want people to know the TRUTH that Jesus is the Christ and that it was the, ANOINTING that came in the FLESH to dwell in the human Jesus. This is how we know the Spirit of God and the spirit of DECEPTION. Read 1 John 4:2-3. “Beloved believe NOT every spirit, (Or believe not every teaching or doctrine) but try (Check and see, search the word to see if what you are taught is the truth) the spirits whether they are of God: (Why?) because many FALSE prophets (And false teachers) are gone out into the world. Hereby know you (Or this is HOW you can know without a doubt) the Spirit of God: EVERY spirit that confesses (States, says, or teaches) that Jesus Christ HAS come in the FLESH is OF God: And EVERY spirit that confesses NOT that Jesus Christ HAS come in the FLESH is NOT of God: and this (Teaching or doctrine that states that the ANOINTING has not come in the FLESH) is that spirit of ANTICHRIST, whereof you have heard that it should come; and even now is already in the world.” If the translators had placed a comma after Jesus, this Scripture word read every spirit that confesses that Jesus, ANOINTING has come in the flesh IS of God, and every spirit that confesses NOT that Jesus, ANOINTING has come in the flesh is NOT of God. It just seems to me that to teach that Jesus is Almighty God Himself in the FLESH being FULLY GOD and fully man at the same time and EQUAL with GOD goes AGAINST or is ANTI the ANOINTING or ANTICHRIST or against the ANOINTING of the Holy Spirit that God was WITH Jesus by DWELLING IN Jesus. You see, the word “Christ” means anointing. In other words, Jesus was ANOINTED by Almighty God the Father with the Holy Spirit to do the works that he did. Remember Jesus said, “I can do nothing of MYSELF or in my OWN strength or power but RATHER Almighty God, the Father THROUGH his Holy Spirit is the one who does the works.” It was THROUGH the Holy Spirit that Jesus was able to live his life without sin and do the mighty works that he did while he was on the earth. I mean THINK this through for YOURSELF! IF SO BE that Jesus is the ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God HIMSELF, then WHY would Jesus need to be ANOINTED WITH the Holy Spirit of Almighty God? If the doctrine of the Trinity or the doctrine of Oneness were true then there would be NO need for Jesus to be ANOINTED WITH the Holy Spirit of the Father, because Jesus would be the Holy Spirit of the Father already. The TRUTH of the matter is that the WHOLE word of God clearly teaches us that Jesus is the SON OF Almighty God the Father and that the fullness of the Godhead or the deity or the POWER and the AUTHORITY of the Father DWELT IN his SON Jesus to EMPOWER Jesus to do the WORKS that HIS God and Father SENT him out into the world to do. All power and authority were GIVEN TO Jesus by HIS God and Father who ALONE is the ONE TRUE and ONLY God that is THE ALMIGHTY and MOST HIGH God who is OVER all other Gods INCLUDING his SON Jesus whom the FATHER has HIGHLY EXALTED to become a God at his Father's right hand. This is what the WHOLE word of Almighty God teaches us WITHOUT CONTRADICTION to any other part of God's word. So then, seeing that Almighty God the Father is THE God OF his SON Jesus clearly teaches us that Jesus is NOT the ONE true and ONLY ALMIGHTY God, who alone is the Father, let us now read Titus 2:13, which speaks of TWO, the great God and Father AND his SON Jesus. Titus 2:13. “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God AND our Savior Jesus Christ;” For a deeper understanding of Almighty God the Father being the savior who uses his SON Jesus as the MEANS BY WHICH Almighty provides salvation for all who BELIEVE in God's SON please read the study “IS JESUS ALMIGHTY GOD?” Thanks for reading. May God bless you richly as you continue to seek the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God. Below are some other verses that are used to try and support the doctrine of the Trinity, the doctrine of Oneness, and the dual nature doctrine of the deity of Jesus. The TRUE sound Biblical doctrine of the Deity of Jesus teaches that Jesus CAME OUT FROM Deity and the HUMAN Son of Yahweh was GIVEN the divine nature of immortality and that Jesus had only ONE nature at a time. First, he was the MORTAL human Son of MAN who then became the ETERNAL immortal divine Son of God who was GIVEN the TITLE of God to rule AS God in the NAME OF Yahweh FOR Yahweh his God and Father for 1000 years so that Yahweh can JUDGE Lucifer, the fallen angels and the world BY the MAN Jesus the CHRIST, the SON OF the living God who alone is the Father, the ONE God is ONE PERSON. Jesus was the first FAITHFUL WITNESS the BEGINNING of God's creation, as in, the beginning of God's NEW creation of righteous humans. So again, right now Jesus is the only begotten Son of God but at his coming, we who are IN Jesus Christ will ALSO be given eternal life to become the eternal sons of God along with Jesus. There may be other verses which you may be having trouble seeing any other way than what you were dogmatically taught, but I assure you that each and every verse used by those who teach the doctrine of the Trinity, and the doctrine of Oneness does, indeed, have a different meaning that does NOT CONTRADICT any other part of God's word. You can find all those studies under the heading >>>WHO IS JESUS ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE?<<< Your brother in our Lord Jesus Christ, Brother Mark. RETURN TO HOMEPAGE AT VERSES USED TO TEACH THAT JESUS PREEXISTED! To me, the best way to know the ONE true God in ONE person is to know who Jesus TRULY IS according to the WHOLE word of Almighty God so please read ALL the studies under the heading >>>WHO IS JESUS ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE?<<< and you will see that the Bible itself teaches us that Jesus was CREATED by his God and Father. And if you have any questions related to the correct meaning of certain verses of Scripture on this subject of who Jesus is please read all the studies under the two headings >>>A LIST OF STUDIES ON THE TRINITY!<<< and >>>VERSES USED TO TEACH THAT JESUS PRE-EXISTED!<<< These two headings have ALL the studies that I have on who Jesus truly is according to what the Bible itself teaches us in simplicity. I compiled these three headings to make it easy for my readers to send just one, two, or three links to those you desire to help understand what the Bible itself teaches concerning who Jesus is in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of Almighty God. Thanks for reading and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the truth of the whole word of Almighty God.
Your brother in our Lord Jesus Christ, Brother Mark.
