THE COMFORTER (five)
(…continues from part 4…)
5) The Word: which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty, the everlasting Father, the soon coming King of kings and LORD of all lords, is not an entity of creation, He ‘became’ an Adamic person, who was never a created soul. He told Nicodemus who He truly is in John 3:13 “And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.” This is ponderous. He that sits beside the visiting Nicodemus is seated at that material time in heaven as well. Quite enigmatic, is it not? The Word of God is not even an angel, as mendaciously taught by the Jehovah’s Witness people of Charles Taze Russell’s door knocking evangelists. Jesus cannot be an angel and introduce Himself with the epithetical “which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. Isaiah’s vaticination would never have gone any close to publishing Him with the title, Everlasting Father. You cannot find anywhere in Scripture where an angel, no matter how highly placed, calls any human, “My child”.
In the matters of the Church, Three Entities must be in charge, in the true spiritual administration of it. No angelic entity can take the place of the Members of the Godhead. You will never read anything like, “And the apostles gave to some, apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers.” Offices of the Church are truly dispensed by the Holy Spirit, through the understanding of the Father in the name of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is divine, or else He will never allow Himself to say, “I and my Father are one.” (John 10:30). ‘And,’ kai (kahee): – having a copulative and sometimes also a cumulative force – it means: ‘also, even, so, then, too.’ The auxiliary ‘are’ is esmen (es-men’): the first person plural of eimi (i-mee’): ‘am, to be, to exist, to happen, to be present.’ Eime is the ‘AM’ part of God’s name JEHOVAH or I AM THAT I AM.
“I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life” (John 14:6).
Jesus, from this divine disclosure is as I AM, as the Eternal Father. Then there is the last word, ‘one’ which is an interesting heis (hice): a neuter ‘one’. It is ‘essence’, meaning that whatever essence Jesus Christ has, you will find the same in the Father. The quiddity of the Father is essentially of the Word of God, Jesus Christ. The validation of His Divinity can easily be understood in His assuring and comforting words.
John 10:27-28 27) “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28) And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.”
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 10:8-10 “All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.” 9) I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10) The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”
Revelation 1:8 “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.”
Nimrod and Baal are one and the same
Who, do you think, are the “All that ever came before me” of John 10:8? They are prophets and teachers of wrong doctrines; they are those who pretend to be in the messianic office. If those of the past who had not the Spirit of Jesus are termed “thieves and robbers” which include Nimrod, Balaam, Krishna, Buddha, Zoroaster and Confucius; definitely, any other who comes after Him, the likes of Muhammad, who had not the Spirit of Jesus, and consequently not the disciple of Jesus, is in that category of thieves and robbers. Was Muhammad ever a born again child of God? Muhammad preferred to be slave of Allah in sharp contrast to which members of Christianity are: God’s children of the Adoption. One must possess the Spirit of the Truth before working for the Most High God, the Creator of heaven and the earth and all things found therein.
Jesus is the Comforter who promises another Comforter; and that is all I am trying to get across to you. Amen.
Getting born again is a conscious effort on the part of an individual. Get born again. Say this sinner’s prayer.
“Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”
