Those with itching ears seek wrong Bible teachers (2Tim. 4:3)

(…continues from part two…)

3)            Revelation 5:13 “And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.” Does “and unto the Lamb” not express Two distinctive Persons of the Godhead? Only those who have itching ears seek to imbibe incongruity of Oneness Pentecostal, – incongruously supported by Dr. Abel Damina – which hold that the Biblical God is one Person, not Three. They are too ready to accept that Father, Son, and Spirit are different aspects or manifestations of that one Person, and not three distinct persons.

Revelation 21:22-23 22) “And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. 23) And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.” Again we read of Two distinct Divine Father and Lamb – Jesus Christ. Modern modalistic view is also called Oneness. The Pentecostal Oneness (or “Jesus Only”) movement started in the early 1900s when some Assemblies of God members believed that water baptism should only be in the name of Jesus.

 “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness” (Genesis 1:26)

                There is a possibility that whoever theologizes falsidical modalism is not truly born again. He may have been given a lot of money and business opportunities just to jettison the veridicality of the holy Trinity. Do not forget that they will always have something, even from the Bible, to support their anomalous teachings. Is the word Trinity found in over seven hundred and eighty thousand words of the Bible? The answer is, “No”. Then I hear them in their wildest frenzied excitement of response, “You see? It’s not there!” What these ignoramuses do not know is that the concept of the Trinity is fully presented in Scripture. The first four words of the entire Bible duly teach the veridicality of the Trinity. The fourth word “God” of the entire Bible in Genesis 1:1 is ‘ĕlôhı̂ym (el-o-heem’): ‘(plural) rulers, judges, Divine ones, angels gods.’

The ‘us’ in “Let us make man” of Genesis 1:26 cannot be in reference to any other entities than that of two distinct Persons of Divinity. How do I know this? Only the divine Entities are involved in the process of creation. If a creature should be involved in creation, that one must receive the latria as well: something God will never allow.

The Godhead: The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

The philosophy of modalism has its quiddity sourced from linguistic manipulation to the enthronement of faces or modes culminating in the jettisoning of the theological Trinity. The sovereignty of the Most High Jehovah cannot, as a matter of fact, stop Him from using different faces of Divine manifestation. The problem of modalistic view arises from its detachment from revealed principle of the Bible. Modalism establishment of faces for Divine modus operandi stands a repudiation of Bible’s distinction of Persons of the Godhead. Get them Scripturally cornered and what do you hear from their linguistic manipulation, “The Bible is filled with metaphorical innuendos.”

Quite apropos is the facticity that the Author of the Bible must have the preeminence of being the first subject of reference in the first opening words of The Book. It says, “In the beginning God created…” and should it surprise me if they come up with, “The plurality of elohiym is metaphorically a mere deference to the Most High.” Whoever conjures that must reach deeper into the hat for more magical rabbits: for the same Bible has the Hebraic singular Eloah for the same Most High! Who constitute the “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…” of the empyrean council as pertaining to the creationism? Was God engaged in divine soliloquy? Yes, He can decide what to do, but it is equally absurd to soliloquize Genesis 1:26, in the light of Trinitarian concept. Could He be addressing angels? They cannot be participatory authors of creationism for the obviosity of making them equally Gods of empyrean worship. Did we not read in Genesis 2:18 where we have the emphatic and very personal, “And the LORD God said,… I will make him an help meet for him”? Just as the Father spoke, “Let there be light,” in His distinct ipseity, so did the Son, through Whom all things came into being, made the categorical statement of Genesis 2:18 “And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.” The creation of the Woman has a sole attribution to the Christ, ergo, the personal pronoun, “I” will.

    Angels chant “Holy, holy, holy” always: no vacuity on the throne.

Does the throne of the Rainbow Administration of Jehovah suffer vacuity? Modalism’s strictly oneness portrayal of Divinity means that He manifests as Christ, Father or Holy Spirit of His individualism. Does He leave one of His faces on the throne when He makes His divine manifestation away from heaven?  The throne had never been unoccupied. If there are Scriptural refutations kindly visit this post to prove me wrong. When Jesus mentioned, “I go to the Father,” did that imply multiple faces or distinctions of Persons? When they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the cool of day, was it an apparition of Him – which is, which was, which is to come – or one of His facial expressions of the Godhead?

Getting born again is a conscious effort on the part of an individual. Get born again. You were born in sin. 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!”
