Are you under the Cloud?
Have you passed through the Sea?
Are we all eating the same spiritual meat? Are we drinking the same spiritual drink? They were all drinking of the same Spiritual Rock that followed them.
If not,then we aren’t following Christ at all because the Rock I’m referring to that was following them was Jesus Christ himself. The one and only True God who created all things and without him nothing was made. He was in the world and the world was made by him and the world knew him not.
God was not pleased with some of the people in the desert and they were overthrown in the wilderness.
Jesus is the Almighty God in the Old Testament and he is the Almighty God in the New Testament. The everlasting Father and the Prince of Peace. One God, just many different offices or manifestations.
You don’t want to be overthrown by the God of the whole universe.
There is “One Lord, One Faith, and One Baptism according to God himself.
You have to find that one way yourself.
No one can do this for you.
Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
One day you will bow before God.
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Jesus told them one day if you have seen me you have seen the Father.
God made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
He came unto his own and they received him not. Jesus is the name above every name. Not just some name but every name. I think that says it all. That makes him God. That’s why the world took up stones to kill him. They thought he blasphemed because he being a man made himself God. They couldn’t grasp that. Though there eyes they saw the flesh,a man standing there and couldn’t see past the flesh but in all actuality they weren’t seeing the spirit that indwelled this body God enrobed himself in.
A man (Michael Servetus) from the early 1500’s once said these words that I whole heartedly agree with:
I do not separate Christ from God more than a voice from the speaker.
( Or you can say the voice of the one speaking )or a beam from the sun. Christ is the voice of the speaker. He and the Father are the same thing, as the beam and the light, are the same light.
He (Michael Servetus) participated in the Protestant Reformation, and later developed a revelation opposing the Trinity and Christology. After being condemned by Catholic authorities in France, he fled to Protestant Geneva where he was burnt at the stake for heresy by order of the city’s governing council.
John Calvin was the one to get Servetus condemned and executed. Calvin said:
Servetus has just sent me a long volume of his ravings. If I consent he will come here, but I will not give my word; for if he comes here, if my authority is worth anything, I will never permit him to depart alive. Why? Because Servetus opposed the trinity and infant baptism along with John Calvin’s predestination teachings.
At his trial, Servetus was condemned on two counts, for spreading and preaching Nontrinitarianism, specifically, Modalistic Monarchianism, or Sabellianism, and anti-paedobaptism (anti-infant baptism). Of paedobaptism, Servetus had said, “It is an invention of the devil, an infernal falsity for the destruction of all Christianity.
I could go on and on but I want people to read this. I know it’s a bit long but I’ll leave you with some scriptures in finishing this up. I pray this really helps someone come to the fullness of Gods word and be in a condition of salvation and get in the race to the end.
Micah 5:2
But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
This is undeniably Jesus the one true God.
1 Timothy 3:16
And without controversy(w/o doubt)great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest (Definition:Plain, open, clearly visible to the eye or obvious to the understanding; apparent; not obscured or difficult to be seen or understood. From the testimony, the truth we conceive to be manifest.) in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
Colossians 1:15
Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Jesus
Colossians 2:9
For in him (not them) (for in Jesus) dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Hebrews 1:1
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had “by himself”purged our sins, sat down on the right hand (right hand signifies Power) of the Majesty on high:
I’m going to leave you all with this thought. I do try to show the glorious truth to people and it takes an extremely long time putting it together in hopes it will teach someone the path to God. Until next time I love you all. Pray for one another. Time is short. Do as Phillip did. Just ask Jesus to show you who he is.
John 14:7
If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, “show us the Father,”and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?
This is Jesus:
And because his Spirit was wholly God, he is called God, and he is called man on account of his flesh.
That simple folks.
