Rick Beckman - The progressive 'Christian' - Repent!

Really, if he knew what was good for him, it would be better if he 'shut up shop' and went home, rather than continue with his pontificating nonsense, for every word he spouts digs his hole of spiritual darkness ever deeper.

I have decided to publish this blog specifically to counter Mr Beckman's blasphemies against Jesus Christ. He believes in 'progressive Christianity', and even has a blog under that banner, so what we need to do first, is find out what 'Progressive Christianity' actually is, for I know that it is not a Biblical term, and this means it is man made, or of man and not of God. These terms which Bible intellectuals and theologians regularly use are what I call NVATs; short for No Value Added Terms. In other words they add nothing to Holy Scripture but rather, diminish it and in many cases make The Word of God to none effect. I will be dealing with more of these NVAT's of Mr Beckman's later. Now as I stated earlier, you won't find the term Progressive Christian in Holy Scripture and progressive Christianity is really just a hotch potch of people who, to say the least, are not confident in their belief, which in turn means they do not have a strong brotherly relationship with Jesus Christ. They are the nearest thing to Laodiceans that I have yet come across. They are repelled by people who know The Truth, and to know The Truth means to know Jesus Christ, so in turn they are repelled by people who know Jesus Christ. I will leave you all to deduce what this actually means.

Now in fairness to them they may be repelled by Bible bashers who still thump out The Ten Commandments from their pulpits, and they are quite right to be repelled by these people, for they are just modern day Galatianists, Judaisers and legalists. That said there are some of us who do know The Truth i.e. Jesus Christ and quote only Holy Scripture, not meaningless 'progressive' jargon.

Here though for the record, is a definition of what Progressive Christians are all about: "Progressive Christianity casts a very broad tent. All people are welcome as affiliates. Their fourth point invites: "....all people to participate in our community and worship life without insisting that they become like us in order to be acceptable (including but not limited to): believers and agnostics, conventional Christians and questioning skeptics, women and men, those of all sexual orientations and gender identities, those of all races and cultures, those of all classes and abilities, those who hope for a better world and those who have lost hope." Most affiliates probably view religious belief as a process -- a searching for truth rather than establishing truth. Most are probably liberal Christians or post-Christians who stress justice and tolerance above creedal beliefs."

Now, bearing the above Laodicean spew in mind (and I will return to this statement and examine it separately and in more detail later), this person, this Mr Beckman thinks he knows more about Scripture than a Son of God and yet another of his/their 'progressive' mantras is "we value the truth even though it can never be fully possessed" This statement is a lie and alone tells us they do not even know The Truth, nor do they understand it, never mind fully possess it - I'm not even sure if 'possess' is a correct term in this situation. What Mr Beckman is also saying, even though he will never fully know The Truth, is that he knows more about Scripture than someone who does fully know The Truth; a person who is and has been, taught directly by God through His Word without the help or teaching of any man since the days of his discipling. Do not be surprised nor taken aback by this statement for Holy Scripture supports it: 1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. Please note too, that I boast in Jesus Christ and in Him alone; not in myself, nor in men nor in any religion.

Anyway, here is what he says: I will put his words in italics, my words, from my website in bold including any Scriptures and my counter comments in standard font.

"A fellow by the nickname of yes2truth made the judgment that I was biblically ignorant. Oh, and that I am, for there is far more still yet to learn from the pages of Scripture than would have even been possible to have already learned in my lifetime."

I will correct him straight away here because he is attempting to lay guilt (rather feebly) by accusing me of judging him; coming to obvious conclusions is not judging. He is right though, for progressives admit they will never fully grasp The Truth so he is only saying what we already know.
"I visited yes2truth’s website expecting typical “I’m right; you’re all wrong” divisiveness, as is often seen on, for example, fundamental Baptist, KJV-Onlyist websites (there are, praise the Lord, exceptions; at one point in time, my site was one of them, but it was not one of the exceptions). What I found when I got to his website, however, was quite different."

Ah, a little judging of his own and attacking other groups, so there is some life in that limp Laodicean liberal heart of his. Here too he lays down his intellectual credentials by attacking KJV-Onlyist people. Now this battle between those who love modern abominations and those who love only the KJV displays an emotional immaturity and a lack of understanding in God's Word. They don't like what is written in The KJV so with silly emotional knee jerk reactions they go looking for The Truth in a place where He cannot be found - modern translations. In the world they call it throwing out the baby with the bath water or cutting off your nose in order to spite your face. Futile! One good thing though, he found something quite different on my website.

"That isn’t to say the style of writing isn’t the same, but he wasn’t just attempting to enscripturate tradition, he blatantly denied the very nature of God, which I’m sorry to say calls into question not only everything he will ever preach while believing in a false god, but can one be saved while denying the God of the Bible?"

Oh yes, we mustn't 'enscripturate tradition' must we, or should we!? Who knows and who cares!? I don't, but one thing I do know and do care about is when men of religion give themselves away with their vain terminology. The first word is irrelevant but the second word is dynamite, for he is telling us who and what he is, a man of tradition. What kind of tradition? I'll tell you - The tradition(s) of men.

Col 2:8 "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ."

You can't get much more worldly than these wretched progressives, that's for sure.

Mark 7:13 "Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye."

He then accuses me of denying the nature of God when what I am doing is revealing the True Nature of God and exposing the papist Roman Catholic lie that he believes, i.e. the trinity. You see, we already know he follows or bases his belief on the tradition(s) of men and the trinity is a tradition of men - another non-scriptural word. It's all made up. The Apostles never taught it and that is why it is not in Scripture. Again, you see, this is all too simple for people like Mr Beckman because he loves big vain words like 'enscripturate'. The trinity was not even mentioned until an illegitemate by the name of Tertullian fabricated it circa 200 AD. Why? Because it is pagan and Rome absorbed every pagan blasphemy under the sun into its religion. This is the tradition upon which Mr Beckman puts his faith and it's all in vain.

"Yes2truth presents the God of the Bible as a three-eyed “ogre god” (for the Trinity) or a one-eyed “ogre god” (for monotheism). This is a sad case indeed, and I will reply to his article point-by-point, with his text indented and un-altered and my replies following each section. This is a serious issue–a denial of one of the most fundamental truths in the universe–so please forgive anything that seems to be a lapse in my patience. Sarcasm was the tool of both Paul and the Christ, and if I employ it here, please understand I am being nothing but scriptural in doing so."

Now his opening remark is a lie because I present the Godhead as a two eyed Godhead, and I speak metaphorically here. What I have done is revealed the trinity as false and he can't grasp it because he is indoctrinated by the lies of Rome and Protestantism. What is sad is his futile trust in men. He calls it a fundamental truth, but based on what? Lies!! He also can't grasp that I have exposed monotheism as demonic as well. These people are so unsure in what they believe they cover their bets, well they think they do, by saying God is three in one and one in three. So is God three or is He one? I'm saying They are neither They are two separate beings who are totally at one with each other and are number one and The Holy Spirit is their power. If God is one God then the Jews and Islamics must be saved for they believe in one god - that is monotheism, you cannot escape it, it is a fact, now that is a fundamental truth.

Now this mono-god is mentioned in John 8:37-45 by The Lord Jesus when He confronts the Pharisees and He tells them that their father is The Devil:

"I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. 38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. 39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. 41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. 42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.


So there you have it, monotheism is Devil worship. Now monotheism is really a part of trinity worship because as stated, to trinitarians, God is one in three and three in one. Just by this monotheistic dimension to the trinity, or by this factor alone we know the trinity is a blasphemous lie. He asks for forgiveness, well of course I forgive him, and so will the Father God but he must repent. He must also understand that people who believe in the trinity are multitudinous - millions of people believe it and what does Jesus Christ have to say about that and what will He say to them? I will tell you - are you listening Mr Beckman for this is for you as well?

Matt 7:22 "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

The word 'many' here is English understatement; in Strong's it is given as "multitudes", so here we have it, multitudes (not one of a minority like me) who will come to the Lord and tell him about all the wonderful things they have done in His Name!!!!! These multitudes of people have done all manner of things in Jesus' name. Now these people are not the lost, they are not the unsaved they are 'False Christians' who are mostly 'trinitarians' Then the Lord will say to them "Depart from me, ye that work iniquity." There are only two main groups on the face of this earth that can lay claim to having multitudes of followers and who claim to do things in Jesus' name, and those groups are trinitarian believing organisations i.e. Roman Catholics and numerous Protestant demon-inations. Time to repent Mr Beckman.

For a final point on his last paragraph, he says that the trinity is a 'fundamental truth' when quite plainly it is a fundamental lie - a lie of The Whore of Babylon. Read on and I will provide further evidence whilst countering his blasphemies.

You will not find the word ‘Trinity’ in The Holy Bible and pay no attention to those who support this papist rubbish.

"The word “Ecclesiastes” also is not found in the Bible, but it works as a title for the book. Likewise, “Trinity” is the title given to a specific teaching. The “Beautitudes” describe a passage, as does the “Olivet Discourse.” If I called the doctrine of a six-days Creation, well, “a six-days Creation,” shall I be criticized for it? The title does not appear in Scriptures, but it is nonetheless accurate."

Here he falls into the same trap that all Bible intellectuals fall into when trying to defend the indefensible i.e. the trinity lie. You see, Ecclesiastes is in The Bible and it is the name of a book and it doesn't 'work' at anything, it's just there as a title. Furthermore, it is not a doctrine and the trinity lie is a false doctrine. The other names or NVATs he quotes - The Beautitudes and The Olivet Discourse are still man made terms but in these instances they are just harmless titles - they're useless intellectual terms, yes, but they are harmless. Again, his last point is flawed; The Biblical record of The Creation is an historical account, not a doctrine, but no doubt this Mr Beckman would love to have a go at making it a doctrine, because he probably doesn't believe it. There you are, I have revealed another Truth; they reason endlessly and pontificate about Scripture in never ending circles, and because of their unbelief they never come to an understanding of the Truth. They then fob it off by saying they will never fully possess it. Well of course they won't, it's a self fulfilling prophecy!!

"To my readers I note that seemingly anything yes2truth dislikes becomes “papist rubbish.” I wonder what these things would have been before the papacy was created in the fourth century? I also shouldn’t have to mention to yes2truth that “papist” comes for a Latin word and, according to yes2truth in his comments on the aforementioned entry, thus is part of the “Devil’s language.” He uses it anyway, and a bold move it is. Let’s see if it helps get his point across."

Ah, now we get the smug 'clever dick' stuff or what I call 'i' dotting, 't' crossing and gnat straining, and of course this all blows up in his in face like a fire cracker stuck in a blamange, when he says the papacy didn't begin until the fourth century. What happened between Peter and the fouth century then for wasn't he their first pope? The papacy is synonomous with Rome - The Whore of Babylon you cannot separate them and it's all lies, including Peter as pope. To his readers: Why do you read his garbage?

They often use the immature lame duck excuse “you won’t find the term ‘Holy Bible’ in the Holy Bible either.” The issue here is that the trinity doctrine is just that - a doctrine, whereas the term Holy Bible is not, it is a title for the Canon of Holy Scriptures and offends no one.

"People were astonished at Jesus’ doctrine, so why is it so common for me to read or hear people saying that we shouldn’t be so concerned with doctrine? Or in this case, it reads as though doctrine is a disdainful thing."

Now here is another new Truth; Bible intellectuals have changed the meaning of the word 'doctrine', and to them it is just subject matter to be debated endlessly over and over and never coming to any understanding. The Truth on the other hand is the opposite of this, for doctrine in The Greek means simply 'instruction'. Jesus Christ instructed and the people were amazed. Why were they amazed? They were amazed because they couldn't understand it; only the twelve disciples were privvy to Jesus' explanations to what He said and even they struggled to understand. Doctrine therefore is not a disdainful thing but it is in the hands of theologians and Bible intellectuals for they make it disdainful.

"And of course “Holy Bible” offends no one… especially not the Muslims who die in the name of another holy book, nor the antichristian politicians who want all mention of anything “holy” shut out of society for fear of offending the one or two open-minded people who forgot to open up their minds. The very idea that the Bible is “holy” is divisive and daring. With its use we declare the Scriptures to be pure from sin, false witness, and imperfection. With its use, we declare that it stands above all other documents as being pure and similar in nature to the Lord who inspired them: free from sin."

Now he knows that I am speaking in terms of Believers and Christians in general because my website is aimed at Believers and no one else. So he really has no defence or excuse for this twisting of what I have said. The term Holy Bible does not offend any believer but his intellectualising and trinity lie does. Let's hope I don't find any more cheap tricks further on in his diatribe.

Furthermore you will not find the word Monotheism in The Holy Bible either; another flawed doctrine. Those in mainstream Christianity who believe in these expressions of God are totally deceived. Metaphorically, one - the trinity god, is an ogre god with three eyes and the other - the mono god, is an ogre god with one eye and if you believe in a god that is like either of these then your belief is in vain.

"The challenge is made. The game is set. Here yes2truth apparently searches in vain for some biblical descriptions and comes up horribly short; instead, he jumps into the realm of mythology and pulls out “ogre.” It’s okay; it’s not in the Bible, but he can use it anyway. He isn’t us, after all. (Though to make it easy on him in the future, the correct Bible word for a false god is “idol.”)"

Who is challenged? I'm not, but he is it would seem. The game is set - what game? I am not playing a game, I'm deadly serious. Neither do I search in vain, only theologians do that. He then starts to criticise my 'ogre god' analogies or metaphors, now any good preacher or teacher will use simple descriptive mind pictures to get a point across - this is not theology you know or antinomianism - don't you just love that one I bet old Rick does! Furthermore it is obvious Mr Beckman is not a preacher and a good job too!! Yes ogre gods are idols too but the negative effects of the ogre side to these idol's natures is what needs to be exposed and shared in order to free True Believers from ogre god worshipers like you Mr Beckman.

Deut 6:4. Hear, O Israel: The LORD (Eternal and self-existent) our God (Elohim [Hebrew] means plural) is one (unified, united and number one and none above) LORD (Eternal and self-existent):

The Godhead has always been two who are unified or united or at one with themselves - in complete and total agreement; this is the True Godhead, again, metaphorically a God with two eyes (and would you believe we are made in their image!?).

"Metaphorical descriptions are apparently the foundation of his belief; he’s yet to give us a Scripture that explicitely saves him from being labeled a Bible-rejecter. However, I see his metaphor, and I see a god with two gods for eyes and this is supposed to be the image of a human with two eyes for eyes. Fascinating. Let’s try a better comparison:"

Before I answer his stupid comments I will write here the part of my webpage article that he conveniently ommitted!!

The word 'God' is Elohim in the Hebrew language and Elohim is plural of the word Eloha. Now if God was one then the word Eloha would have been used, not Elohim. Notice too, that The Holy Spirit is not mentioned in this fundamental foundational Scripture

OK, back to his mumbo jumbo: Here his fallacious nonsense continues by making an unfounded emotional remark; he says that: "my metaphorical descriptions are the foundation of my belief" This he knows is not true because he knows that I believe in Jesus Christ and the Father God. He also knows that I believe in The Holy Spirit but what irks him is that I don't believe in his Roman Catholic/Protestant lie. To support this belief in a lie he says "let's try a better comparison" Notice he doesn't say "Here is a better comparison" so he is not even sure about what he is going to say now.

"God is Father, Son, and Spirit; man is spirit, body, and soul. The soul acts as the intermediary between the spirit and body just as the Spirit acts as an intermediary of sorts with the Father and the Son."

No, there is no god that is Father, Son and Spirit and nowhere in Scripture does it say that. There is Father God and Jesus God and the Holy Spirit which is their power, they are two separate beings with an almighty power - The Holy Spirit. That same Spirit eminates from them, but it is not a separate being nor is it a personage. Nor is the Godhead one, they are not two in one and they certainly aren't three in one.

Deut 6:4. Hear, O Israel: The LORD (Eternal and self-existent) our God (Elohim [Hebrew] means plural) is one (unified, united and number one and none above) LORD (Eternal and self-existent):

The two are united or in unity with each other as one in singleness of mind, this means they are totally likeminded - they agree totally on everything on every subject with each other, but they are not one being. The Hebrew word here for 'one' is primarily as a digit or number one this means the Godhead is number one there are no beings above them they are the tops so to speak - none above

Man is not spirit, body and soul. A body is one and the same thing as a soul. Man is a living body or a living soul with the breath of life in his nostrils just the same as the beasts of the field. The spirit in man makes him a living soul and that spirit returns to God when a man dies - when his soul or body dies.

Num 19:13 "Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him."

Here in this passage of Scripture we have the words 'body' and 'soul' and the Hebrew word for these two words is exactly the same - Nephesh, so a body is one and the same thing as a soul and souls die!

They are not a triune of personages otherwise Paul’s greetings to the Churches in his letters would have included the Holy Spirit with The Father and The Son in his greetings, but he didn’t. Check the Scriptures for yourselves The Holy Spirit is never mentioned in his greetings. Now if the Holy Spirit was a personage of the Godhead do you think Paul would have omitted ‘His’ inclusion in those greetings?

His answer to The Truth that I have written above is classic 'explaining away' intellectualism and theology. His remarks are written below and they are pure human reasoning; there is not one ounce of Spiritual discernment in anything he writes.

"It is a dangerous doctrine the foundations of which are built upon the assumptions of a man. “If A was true, then I think B should have happened; if B didn’t happen, then A can’t be true.” Unfortunately, God does not conform to the expectations of a man, and it is up to us to bend or to break to conform to His expectations for us."

Ah! Doctrine is now dangererous. Where does he get that idea from? Since when has instruction in The Truth been dangerous? It may sound dangerous to him because he has not heard it before, he has been fed lies for years and is convinced they are truth - the word delusion comes to mind. Now he refers to The Truth as assumptions - the assumptions of a man, but what he is really saying is this: "this yes2truth is really rocking my theological boat, he has pointed out a Truth in Scripture for which I have no real answer so, because I can't handle it, I will sweep it aside as the assumptions of a man". Is it, perhaps, that he thinks Paul was lapse in his respect for Rick Beckman's future belief in a trinity, a trinity that has never existed. Perhaps he thinks Paul, too, is assuming there are only two personages in the Godhead? The reality here is this: There is only one assumption and that assumption is that God is three in one and one in three; Tertullian assumed it back in 200 AD and blaspheming silly men in equally silly hats have assumed it ever since, including deceived Rick - have you got a silly hat Rick?.

Of course not, the Holy Spirit was and is the Power of the Godhead and Paul knew this; he knew The Holy Spirit is the Power of the Godhead, and not a person.

"Blasphemer. There, I said it. The Holy Spirit is God. He can be nothing less. He is referred to as a person multiple times. Note the repeated use of personal pronouns in reference to the Holy Spirit in John 14:16,17. A power, force, influence, or other such impersonals are not “comforters” and they are certainly not a “he”! Further, look at Acts 5:3,4. Could Ananias and Sapphira have lied to a power, force, or spirit? Or did they lie to the Holy Spirit (v.3), who is almost immediately called God (v.4). It is a strange thing to think that “the power of God” is “God,” especially if it is supposedly the “Holy Spirit” which is not “God.” Not even a Vulcan could process that logic and not get a headache."

Hmm. A blasphemer eh? Well we'll see about that and by the time I have finished explaining the Scriptures he has quoted we will then know who the blasphemer really is. The Holy Spirit is not God it is the Power of God - it is from God, for God is Spirit but the Holy Spirit from God is not a separate being apart from God as is Jesus Christ which, ironically, I will prove from the very Scriptures that Mr Progressive Beckman has quoted to support the trinity lie. Stay with it folks.

OK, John 14, let's have a look at the whole chapter so as to get an over view of what The Lord Jesus was saying here. Straight away we get the theme or thrust of this passage and it's all about The Lord 'leaving' his disciples; He is warning them of what is about to take place and that He will not always be there with them - physically. He therefore begins to reassure them by telling them that He is going to prepare a special place for them in His Kingdom. He then tells them that He is The Way, The Life and The Truth and it is crucial to take on board these titles especially the title of The Truth. He then explains to them - Phillip in particular, that they know The Father, if they know Him, for to know Jesus Christ is to know the Father, but notice, He doesn't then follow that up by saying if you know Me, you will then know The Holy Spirit - Why? Simple, because The Holy Spirit is not a personage of The Godhead. Jesus then teaches them that The Father is in Him. He also teaches them that they, as Born Again believers, in the future will do greater things than The Lord Himself because He will have gone to be with The Father; again not gone to be with The Father and The Holy Spirit.

Now we come to Mr Progressive's mistaught Scriptures and before I start, keep in mind that these verses are written in the context of The Lord's imminent departure and involve the disciple's fears of being left alone without Him.

John 14:16-18 "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you."

Verse 16: The Lord promises to send another (Strong's 'different') Comforter (Strong's 'advocate', 'consoler', 'intercessor'). Now some pertinent questions: Who intercedes for us with The Father? Who is our advocate in Heaven with The Father? Who can empathise and sympathise with us in order to console us? Who has had first hand experience of the human condition and is the Person who is qualified to carry out these tasks? Only one person - Jesus Christ. So am I saying the Comforter is not The Holy Spirit, no certainly not, but the Holy Spirit is the means by which Jesus Christ comforts us, intercedes for us, advocates for us and consoles and strengthens us. Through His Power - The Holy Spirit.

Jesus was telling His Disciples that although He would be absent from them in the flesh, He would still be with them, only more powerfully with them, through His Spirit - The Holy Spirit. Ah, but hang on, the Scriptures say a 'different Comforter' or 'another Comforter' don't they? Yes they do, but who is this Comforter? One Comforter was already with them in the flesh Jesus Christ and the other Comforter was going to be with them through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the future, so this must mean The Comforter was one and the same Person - Jesus Christ. So how was this different? I have already explained it: The Comforter was always Jesus Christ and the difference was a physical Jesus Comforter and a Spiritual Jesus Comforter. The difference too is in the limitations of human condition (Jesus in the flesh) as compared with the non-limitations of the Spiritual condition (Jesus as a Resurrected Spirit being). In the last part of verse 16 it reads "That he may abide with you forever" The word 'he' here should be 'it' for in the Greek language 'it' and 'he' are the same Greek word. What we have therefore in this verse 16 is a translation error or a translation choice. This error was caused by Roman Catholic men who contaminated Holy Scripture with their Vulgate translation. They had an agenda, an agenda to to authenticate via Scripture the trinity lie and let's not forget their guy Tertullian invented it. This means they needed to change or tinker with Holy Scriptures in order to support their lies.

Right, let's move on to verses 17-18 Where Jesus spells it out clear as clear can be: He refers to the Spirit of Truth which should read the Spirit of The Truth. Now Jesus Christ is The Truth and it is Him that no one could see and could not receive and did not know because He was Born of The Spirit. People did not know Him when He walked this earth, they could not understand Him, so could not receive Him, only twelve people followed Him and understood Him in part, they knew Him for He dwelled with them and later would be in them via The Holy Spirit. This is then confirmed when He says; verse 18 "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you" So there you have it, Jesus Christ is the Comforter, made possible by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit - He is the one that is coming to the disciples to comfort them.

Now we move on to Acts 5:3-4 and again we have the same misunderstanding on the part of Mr Beckman. As you can see from my discourse above I have already proved that The Holy Spirit is not a personage of a triune Godhead, so Acts 5:3-4 that Mr Beckman quotes, cannot be a contradiction of what I have already revealed, for there are no contradictions in The Word of God. Never-the-less there is much confusuion about Scripture which is caused by theologians and progressive 'Christians' through their insecurity of "never fully possessing The Truth" - their words, not mine. The bottom line here to this passage of Scripture is: The Holy Spirit does not have to be a personage of a trinity in order to be blasphemed against.

So what is it, about this episode in the first century Church with Ananias and Sapphira? What was their sin? Was it, just, that they had lied to the Holy Spirit and thereby to God, or is it more than this? In order to get into the atmosphere of this occasion we need to read the verses in the previous chapter, for this is a time of great zeal and enthusiasm in the Church and many members were moved to be exeedingly generous with their possessions to help other members in need. The Holy Spirit was moving in them to do great works including Peter's shadow healing people. So this is the back drop to Ananias' and Shappira's wickedness. Notice too, this verse: Acts 4:33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. Great Grace was upon them all. Now we'll go to Romans 6:1-2 "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" Have any of you ever noticed the 'God forbid' bit in this verse, and in turn wondered how God would forbid if we continue in sin, once under Grace? Now see Ananias and Sapphira in this light, they were trampling over the Lord's sacrifice. Now notice Acts 5:3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? What does Peter ask Ananias first? "Why hath Satan FILLED THINE HEART?" Do you know what this means and how serious it is? In order for this to happen we must turn away from the Lord and blaspheme against The Holy Spirit. It means that a Born Again believer, in this case Ananias, has allowed The Devil back into his heart completely, where The Holy Spirit is supposed to reside. The lie about the price of the land was the outward expression of their wickedness, the 'fruits' of their inner spiritual catastrophe.

OK, we have ascertained that Ananias and Sapphira have blasphemed against The Holy Spirit, which in turn is the sin for which there is no further forgiveness. Now here, is a feature of the Godhead that all theologians miss; we can blaspheme against Jesus Christ and be forgiven and we can blaspheme against God and be forgiven, but not when we blaspheme against The Holy Spirit. Now if the Godhead are three in one, and one in three they must all be equal, they cannot be anything else but equal for they are all one and the same Spirit Being - according to trinitarians, that is. Indeed, if blasphemed against then that offence must apply equally in relationship to all three, but as we know, it doesn't, so The Holy Spirit must be different from the Father God and Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit is 'on its own' in this sense. Now Mr Beckman uses the reasoning that Ananias having lied to The Holy Spirit is one and the same thing as having lied to God The Father and we know from the evidence I have given that this is not wholly the case, for one offence is more serious than the other and carries a stiffer penalty.

I'll move on now for there is a another verse in Acts 5 which also counters the trinity lie and supports my earlier discourse about Jesus Christ being The Comforter. Acts 5:9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. Notice here The Holy Spirit is now the Spirit of The Lord which has been tempted. This is yet another example of The Holy Spirit being 'of' Jesus Christ or 'from Him' i.e. His Power, it is not an individual personage of an egalitarian trinity and nowhere in Scripture does it say that The Holy Spirit is a personage.

This has been a long answer to the nonsense in his last comment, but needed to be addressed in detail and before I move on there is one final point he makes. He said: "Not even a Vulcan could process that logic and not get a headache." Now there you have it, another gem of Bible intellectuals - their logic and this is the problem, for the trinity lie is just that a man's logic - old Tertullian in 200 AD. Move this logic problem forward in time eighteen hundred years and magnify it a thousand fold and that same logic put the NIV Bible together and all the other blasphemous modern translations that make The Word of God to none effect.

There is only one verse in The Holy Bible that states God is three in one - 1 John 5:7. This verse was added and you will not find it any original Greek writing. So who added it? Surprise, surprise - The old whore of Babylon in Rome who else? The trinity doctrine is just another Roman Catholic lie.

On the contrary, the impression I get in reading about 1 John 5:7 is that at one point it was placed there by a scribe as a margin note–much as people take margin notes today. However, today are Bibles aren’t copied by others; we have publishers to do that for us. Then, however, scribes and others who wanted a copy of the Scriptures for themselves would have to copy by hand somebody else’s. Upon encountering marginal notes, a decision would have to be made to include them or not–as sometimes scribes would mistakenly leave something out and place it in the margin rather than scrap the project (writing materials were more precious then than now). Seeming like a logical piece of the text, someone’s marginal note became part of the canon via simple copyist mistake. There was no grand conspiracy to invent a doctrine, for as can be simply shown, as above, the Holy Spirit is a person, not a “power” or “force.”

Oh, on the contrary is it? Well actually there is no contrary about it at all. 1 John 5:7 just isn't in the original Greek transcripts. It isn't there!!!!!! Even my blasphemous NIV Greek Interlinear excludes it - The NIV no less, you know all those chums of Rick Beckman who wrote a Bible to fit their own ideas of what certain Scriptures mean, rather than The Truth of what God intended in His Word. Here is what it says word for word: Late MSS of the Vulgate ADD "In heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one. And there are three that testify on earth." So there you have it, and to support that I will quote Adam Clarke from his commentary "It is likely that this verse is not genuine. It is wanting in every MS., one excepted." It is wanting in every MS except for one, and no doubt Rome had their contaminating hands on that version too. Mr Beckman says that (after he had written yet another meaningless paragraph,) and I quote again: "There was no grand conspiracy to invent a doctrine, for as can be simply shown, as above" No conspiracy eh? Well I think the non-prejudiced evidence says otherwise don't you? The issue here is not whether this verse was added by papist sons of the Devil or not, for plainly it was. The issue is why did they add it? The answer of course is simple, to contaminate God's Word with the deity of a vile pagan religion, for that is where the trinity god originates - Egypt and Hinduism, otherwise known as polytheism - as many gods as you like and some!!

The first five books of the Bible are supposed to be The Lord’s work through Moses’ hand. I am happy with this teaching. No ordinary man, apart from Enoch, Noah, Abraham, the Patriarchs and the Prophets, could claim to know more about the nature of the Godhead than Moses.

"That is an intersting claim. Moses had an incomplete revelation of God. He may have seen God personally, but to see God and to understand His nature are two separate things. The Apostles, which are excluded from your list, likely knew more about God than any previous men who had ever lived, simply by virtue of the fact that they had not only the revelations of the past, but also the new revelations of the New Covenant to understand God by, revelations which opened the Old Testament and shed light where before there were but shadows of things to come."

Oh, it's an 'interesting claim' is it? Now that is real Theologians jargon for you. Here are some Scriptures to support my 'interesting claim' Exodus 17:14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua. Exodus 24:4 And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD. Exodus 34:27 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel. Moses had an incomplete revelation of God Oh yes it was 'very incomplete' - this guy is unbelievable, and I am not wasting any more time on him. Here is something else to think on, too, if he is a 'progressive' Christian, you would want to meet a regressive Christian, would you??!! You couldn't make it up!

Who in the world is Rick Beckman and why is he engaging you? It is clear that you have alienated anyone who has ever tried to be friends with you under a common purpose (i.e. the Truth of Scripture as revealed by Christ). You have never had a real discussion with anyone, you simply label them a Catholic and dismiss them. Christ never dismissed people out of hand the way you do. He had compassion for the lost. He spoke to them in parables with images they could understand. What are you doing? You are simply insulting everyone, not just those who are caught in religiousity? You give the impression that you would stone the woman instead of telling her to "go and sin no more." where does all of this animosity come from?

Hello Mr Dreger,

Welcome to my blog.

For your information and in answer to your questions and criticisms.

Mr Rick Beckman is the author of a blog named Timothy's Burden - A Progressive Christian's Blog.

He is 'engaging' me because he is a man of religion, who supports and believes in the trinity - a papist lie, and in turn doesn't like being informed that he does believe in a papist lie.

I don't alienate anyone, they alienate themselves from The Lord and from me by what they believe. The Lord commanded us to be likeminded; I could no more be likeminded with a trinity worshipper than jump over the moon.
I therefore do not want their friendship, as their friendship would be to my Spiritual detriment.

Mr Beckman, as a progressive 'Christian' admits that he can never fully come to possess The Truth. I, on the other hand, do fully possess The Truth for The Truth is in me via The Holy Spirit. This is something Mr Beckman obviously doesn't understand.

I do not have 'discussions' with people who believe in a lie, I tell them the Truth and they either receive it with joy or reject it. Mr Beckman has rejected it and called me a blasphemer. That cannot go without a rebuttal!

Mr Beckman is not lost, the lost don't believe in anything that's why they are lost. On the contrary Mr Beckman professes to be a believer so he is not lost - deluded, yes, but not lost.

It would seem you are also Biblically ignorant, for Jesus Christ spoke in parables to hide The Truth and only to reveal it to the Twelve Disciples. I suggest you re-read the Scriptures and learn it properly.

I am not insulting anyone, I am offending them in the same way the Lord Jesus offended people especially the religious people of His day. I offend the religious people of my day. People like Mr Beckman and probably you too by the tone of your comments.

I would no more stone the woman than would Jesus Christ and you, by saying this, are just adding the sin of a judgemental attitude to your obvious Spiritual blindness.

I nearly deleted this nonsense but then again I thought, no, The Lord can use this to show how deceived and deluded some mainstream 'Christians' really are!

OK, now here is someone who betrays himself/herself as soon as he/she puts their fingers to the keyboard!

"Here are the words I speak."

Yes, precisely, the words that you speak, and that is the problem, they are your words and not The Lord's Words.

If you were of The Lord you would be in agreement, but you are not, you are of The Devil.

It is, therefore, time for you to repent not me.

I normally invite people to comment, but you seem so far gone, there would be no point, for in that day The Lord will say to you, "go away from me for I never knew you"

Furthermore, you really need to change that handle of yours, for all you do is bring shame on His name.

I'm not mocking you, you do that to yourself, and your blasphemies are too serious to be mocked.

You're too late too on whose words are being used here. You shot your bolt with your opening remark in your first post, and you accused me of being arrogant, now that is a joke.

Let's get one thing straight here, I'm the only one here who speaks for the Lord.

Hello Kendall,

This is the Spiritual condition of the world today in very basic maths, as we communicate at this moment in time.

The lost or the unsaved = Billions

The 'Christian' deceived or deluded = Millions.

The Saved or Born Again from above = 7,000 (as in the story of Elijah and metaphorically speaking)

Many are called but few are chosen.

Apart from yourself, for I do not know, but yes I am the only one on this site who speaks for The Lord.

Are you a prophet?

 
At 11:16 pm, Blogger yes2truth aka Charles Crosby said...

No, I am not a prophet although Jesus Christ was the fulfillment of The Law and The Prophets.

This in turn, through The Holy Spirit, gives some Sons of God the gift of prophecy but I do not have that particular gift.

Discernment of spirits is my gift.

So in answer to your question, no I am not a prophet, but I am a Son of God and a Brother of The Lord Jesus Christ.

As a final point, and as you probably know, there is much prophecy in Holy Scripture and I have studied that for many years.

As usual, you have jumped to conclusions and "squelched" the Spirit on this site. By your own arrogance you have claimed things that no "man" can claim. NOONE speaks for God. The Spirit can speak through man, but NOONE directly speaks for God. He handles His own speaking.

By claiming this you have exposed yourself as not only heretical, but as a false God.

Hello Richard,

Is that Richard Beckman no less or just another deluded soul called Richard? Not that it matters because all you people ever come up with is meaningless emotional nonsense.

Look, I know it's hard when you find out that you have been duped. It happened to me once but I soon recovered and with new zeal. A zeal to expose the lies of religious men.

All Sons of God should speak with their Father's authority, if they don't, then what is the point of being a Son of God? Of course if one is not a Son of God and yet still pontificates on Holy Scripture what does that make him?

Answer: A man of religion and theology.

Now, Richard, which are you - a Son of God or a man of religion?

Come back with proof of your ogre god with three eyes being the real Godhead and I will listen. I'll try not to laugh.

y2t

PS Emotional immature remarks only make you look more silly than you already are. It's time to repent or The Lord will say to you "Depart from me you who do iniquity for I never knew you."

 
At 8:13 am, Blogger yes2truth aka Charles Crosby said...

I have just realised the stupidity of his remarks regarding The Holy Spirit.

Look what he says: "By your own arrogance you have claimed things that no "man" can claim. NOONE speaks for God. The Spirit can speak through man, but NOONE directly speaks for God. He handles His own speaking."

First of all, I only boast in Christ and in no one else and certainly not in men as Richard does.

He is actually partly right here for no ordinary man can speak for God, but he displays his Spiritual blindness by showing us that he doesn't understand what it means to be Born Again from above. The fact that we become new people - new creatures - Sons of God. The old man - notice 'man' dies in the watery grave and the new Spiritual being rises out of the water - Resurrected in part, a Spiritual Being that is qualified to speak for God just as Paul and Peter did. We are no different, but of course our blind guide doesn't understand this.

He must also understand I do not claim anything. I speak for Jesus Christ and The Father God, plain and simple which means I teach The Truth. Again something Richard doesn't understand because he believes in the lies of men.

y2t

 
At 9:25 pm, Anonymous Anonymous said...

How do I boast in men? I have made no claim to trust men, not one. I have said that I follow noone but Christ. How does this make me a follower or men or a "man of religion." Your same arguments and put-downs are tiresome and immature. The only claims I made were that we cannot speak FOR God. He can use us, through the Spirit, to spread His message of Salvation, but we do not speak FOR Him. How is this religiosity or the religion of men? I trust no man, not even you. I trust only Christ. I do not equate you with Christ and listen to you as such. That would be idolatry, something God clearly condemns. How is this anything to do with an ogre God?

I think you need to read what I say before you return to your typical responses. They do not work in every situation. Perhaps you sould for once entertain the possibility that you may have in fact spoken incorrectly. Perhaps not intentionally, but because of your haste.

And no, I am not Richard Beckman, nor do I care to be.

 
At 12:01 am, Blogger yes2truth aka Charles Crosby said...

Richard,

It's all very simple, you come on to my blog and attack me and tell me things like:

"As usual, you have jumped to conclusions"

Where have I jumped to conclusions? Show me - prove it!!

And:

"and "squelched" the Spirit on this site." How? - Again, prove it.

And again:

"By your own arrogance you have claimed things that no "man" can claim. NOONE speaks for God. The Spirit can speak through man, but NOONE directly speaks for God. He handles His own speaking."

I keep telling you people but you're not listening. All Sons of God should speak for God. Why are you so surprised by this? I'll tell you why because you rely on men of religion for your learning. Paul spoke for God. If he didn't then his letters would not be in The Bible.

If the Spirit only speaks through us then it is not a part of us and we are mere automatons or controlled zombies. We are now Spirit beings in clay vessels and the sooner you get that Truth through your head the better it will be for you.

"By claiming this you have exposed yourself as not only heretical, but as a false God."

I am not claiming anything I am telling you, I am a Son of God, and if you think that is heresy then you are a blind guide and a 21st century Pharisee. If you think that I am saying I am God, then you are reading more into it than I am saying, so that's your problem, not mine. You need to think things through properly before you write.

Now for your latest diatribe.

"How do I boast in men? I have made no claim to trust men, not one. I have said that I follow noone but Christ."

I speak for Jesus Christ and you disagree with what I say. I speak The Truth and The Truth is Jesus Christ. Now, because you disagree, that must mean that what you know is of men, for only men would disagree with The Truth - Jesus Christ. By men I really mean men who are servants of The Devil or men of religion.

"The only claims I made were that we cannot speak FOR God."

You can't, but I can, because I am properly birthed in Christ and you are obviously not.

"He can use us, through the Spirit, to spread His message of Salvation, but we do not speak FOR Him."

Oh, He can use us can He; what like some disposable wrapper or drinks can!? He loves His Sons and Daughters that much He 'uses' them. What human parent 'uses' their children? I'm not even going to continue with this one.

"How is this religiosity or the religion of men? I trust no man, not even you. I trust only Christ."

Impossible, if you trusted in Christ you would be in agreement with me, but you are not. What you know you learnt somewhere and it would have to be men of religion. Men of religion hate what I say.

"I think you need to read what I say before you return to your typical responses."

You haven't said anything apart from attack me with unsupported remarks, so what is there for me to read?

"Perhaps you sould for once entertain the possibility that you may have in fact spoken incorrectly. Perhaps not intentionally, but because of your haste."

I only speak if The Lord has revealed His Truth to me.

 
At 2:03 am, Anonymous Anonymous said...

Christians can disagree about things, Paul and Peter disagreed in Acts. Just because you disagree with another believer, and I use that term very liberally with you, does not mean that one person is a Christian and the other is not. This is a false dichotomy that YOU have created, not scripture, not God, but you.

 
At 8:05 am, Blogger yes2truth aka Charles Crosby said...

You have yet to prove you are a True Believer. All you have done is come here in disagreement and because I know The Truth and you disagree with it, I am, therefore, left in no position other than to tell you what you are - a deluded soul.

In the Spiritual Equation it is always God or Mammon. The Laodicean liberal do-gooding all-inclusive middle ground created by men of religion, is all part of the lie and all just spue in God's mouth.

'Believers' are a dime a dozen and most of them believe a lie and I have Scripture to prove it.
I have, therefore, said nothing false.

There is only one problem here and that is that you cannot accept what The Lord says. Now, we are fast reaching that point in time where you either repent and agree or you go away in disagreement - what is it to be?

There is always a period for persausion and if you are not persuaded then I will not be drawn into endless debate - another favourite of vain Bible intellectuals and theologians.

Get with it Richard or head on out!

You are just a broken record of the same comments that totally ignore what I have said and what others have said on this site.

At 9:51 pm, Blogger yes2truth aka Charles Crosby said...

I was going to delete this post as it is just a meaningless rant, but then I thought I can use it to teach, if not you, then hopefully another reader.

"You are probably the most spiritually ignorant person I have ever encountered in my life."

Again you show no understanding for it is impossible to be Spiritually ignorant. You can be Spiritually blind but not ignorant. The Holy Spirit is either in you or not in you. If it is then you cannot be Spiritually blind nor ignorant. On the other hand if it is not in you, you will be incapable of understanding things Spiritual and therefore you will be Spritually blind, but not Spiritually ignorant.

Spiritual blindness will also render you Biblically ignorant.

"Even unbelievers understand the Gospel better than you."

Now this remark is sheer nonsense for unbelievers don't even acknowledge Christ let alone understand The Gospel. They don't know it and they don't care either.

"You are completely devoid of any fruits of the Spirit."

Now we get more emotional silliness. You would have to know me to know whether I show The Fruits of The Spirit or not, and there is no way you are going to find that out on the internet. This is just a meaningless irrelevant remark because you are annoyed with The Truth.

"You are arrogant and a liar."

Judge not that ye be not judged. I boast in Jesus Christ and in Him alone and if you think that is arrogance then so be it.

If I am a liar then prove it. I have not seen one piece of evidence from Scripture from you to support your accusations - put up or shut up!!

"You are the one that needs to repent my friend for placing yourself above Christ."

Not only are you Biblically ignorant you also have a vivid imagination or an 'ability' to read things that aren't there, for nowhere have I said that I am above Christ - I am His brother so how can I be above Him? Just more nonsense.

"You are just a broken record of the same comments that totally ignore what I have said and what others have said on this site. In fact, you simply delete their comments in order to propulgate your own dilluted version of the Gospel."

The broken record title is yours not mine, for I have written this blog and you have just ranted your opinion against it, which is next to worthless without evidence and proof to support your case. In Truth you have not said anything - nothing - zero - zilch!! Furthermore I have not deleted any comments - yet! So you even accuse me of things I haven't done.
Furthermore to furthermore I have not even mentioned The Gospel on this blog, perhaps you can enlighten me as to where I did mention it.

What I have done on this Blog is expose those who believe in a trinity lie; i.e. The Truth about that gross error. The Gospel is The Good News of the Kingdom of God and forms part of The Truth and I have not even broached that subject.

"You are so far from Christ's message that it is hard to image you as a TRUE BELIEVER."

This again is just your opinion and will remain an opinion until you prove otherwise with evidence.

Isa 48:16 (1) Come near unto me, hear this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the(2) Lord GOD, and(3) his Spirit, has sent (1) me.
Isa 48:17 Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD your God who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go.

I counted them for you. Sounds like three in one, a triune ONE, to me.

 
At 11:05 am, Blogger yes2truth aka Charles Crosby said...

Of course it sounds like three and that is because you want it to be three.

There are - Two Beings and their Power - The Holy Spirit. Now you could possibly make three out of that, but one of the 'three' is very different from the other Two. For a start The Holy Spirit is always being sent, so that means it is always following instructions. This alone takes away its equality as a personage of an egalitarian triune. Notice too that this verse does not say that they are three in one and one in three. To make it so men, like yourself, have to read into it more than is there. This is what Tertullian did in 200 AD and silly people have believed it ever since.

Finally, unless God sends - instructs His Spirit to go, He can do nothing with anyone He calls, and that included Isaiah.

Finally finally, I suggest you re-read my original post and check it for yourself in John 14 where God's Word clearly states that Jesus Christ is The Comforter and it is The Holy Spirit that makes all this Comforting possible by being The Power through which Jesus Christ operates.

I do hope this clears things in your mind.

YOU (yes2truth) SAID,

There are - Two Beings and their Power - The Holy Spirit. Now you could possibly make three out of that, but one of the 'three' is very different from the other Two.

BUT, "Two beings" + "thier Power - the HOLY SPIRIT" = 3

Is your's a new math? Brother, the truth came out of your own fingertips, which is kind of like the high priest wanting to kill Christ who said it was expedient for one man to die for the people. He didn't know what he was saying, or how true it was.

Mat 10:19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
Mat 10:20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

Jesus,who is speaking + the Spirit + of the Father = 3

Luk 11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

Jesus, who is speaking + the heavenly Father + the Holy Spirit He is going to give = 3

God only gives that which is of Himself.

Joh 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me:

The Lord Jesus, again is speaking:

the Comforter + I will send + from the Father (even the Spirit-the Comforter = 3

The Lord Jesus, like His Father, only gives that which is of Himself.
Afterall, John did see the Holy Spirit descend from heaven and settle on the Lord Jesus. A giving of the Father to the Son, but a giving of that which was of Himself.

Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Two beings of the Godhead are Spirits, one is a person, our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who loves us and gave Himself for us, and gave of Himself, His Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth, that He might present us before the Father without spot.

Rom 8:9 But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

The Spirit of God, + The Spirit of Christ + The Lord Jesus Christ = 3

1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

God + was manifest in the flesh (the Lord Jesus - John 1:14) + justified in the Spirit = 3

Isa 48:16 (1) Come near unto me, hear this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the(2) Lord GOD, and(3) his Spirit, has sent (1) me.
Isa 48:17 Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD your God who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go.

I counted them for you. Sounds like three in one, a triune ONE, to me.

Now why are you persisting with this gnat straining nonsense?

There is nothing wrong with my maths. Nowhere have I said that they aren't three and it makes me wonder how much of my blog you have actually read. What I am saying is they are not three in one and one in three - they are not equal, and all the scriptures you have provided do not prove it either. In order for it (the trinity lie) to 'stand' men have to imagine that The Godhead is three in one and one in three. The Bible refers to these as "vain imaginings". I am also saying that The Holy Spirit is not a personage. 'He' is an 'it'

I am only going to use one Scripture to prove you wrong apart from all the evidence I gave you in my last post, which I notice you conveniently ignored.

Jesus said: John 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

Jesus Christ is coming to them!!!!!!


Jesus Christ is the comforter not The Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the electricity and power cable for want of a better analogy that enables Jesus Christ to operate in us.

I don't know whether or not you read my blog in answer to Mr Beckman but I did explain the Papist addition of 1 John 5:7. Now this is further concrete evidence that the trinity is a lie. It's a man made doctrine and is not part of The Word of God.

Hello Leslie,

Thank you for your post.

I always find it interesting that Christians feel the need to 'claim' things. I never claim anything, I tell The Truth and the Truth is a statement of fact, not a claim. By default therefore I have to assume you are not in agreement with me, but please feel free to clarify your position.

Now, to your other comments: We can only have fellowship one with another if we are likeminded (which The Lord commanded) and I am no more likely to be likeminded with men and women of religion or progressive 'Christians' than a cow is likely to jump over the moon, until they have repented of course.

The Lord also said I have not come to bring peace but a sword. He is speaking metaphorically here. We are also told to bring down all strongholds and the 'Christian' religion (led by Rome) is the biggest stronghold there is.

As for arguing, there has to be a period for persuasion and if people are not persuaded then I bring conversations to a close as soon as I can. Arguing, like theology, is never ending and goes on and on and on. Now as you can see from the comments on my blog, I am only in communication with yourself at this time and no one else as all the others have, mercifully, gone away.

As a final point you're right Jesus did not argue, but He did tell the religious of His day what they didn't want to hear and have you noticed that Progressives don't want to hear me either or better, like The Pharisees can't hear.

I hope this has clarified things for you.

Hello Raphael,

"I don't wholly agree with your argument here."

I don't argue, I tell people The Truth and if they disagree, I bring the discussion to a close as soon as possible.

"Firstly, the idea that we, as human beings, do not grasp truth in its fullness draws from Paul's statement in 1 Corinthians 13 - that we are looking at a glass, darkly or at mere reflections (depending on your translation)."

Again The Truth is not an idea only men have ideas.

Furthermore, I am no longer a human being I am a Spirit Born Son of God - a new creation in a human body and that is a different thing altogether - totally different.

The term looking through a glass darkly is Paul trying to describe what it will be like for us in the future as Spirit beings and him attempting to explain the full Spiritual transformation. This verse has nothing to do coming to a full knowledge of The Truth. Furthermore to futhermore progressives use the word 'never' fully possessing and that makes their statement a lie for The Lord promises that all things will be revealed 1 Cor 2:9-10 "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God." Now Raphael do you understand the deep things of God? Somehow I don't think so, in fact I know so, and by the time I have finished this post you will know how I know so.

As for translations I only need one, the KJV and Greek interlinears to correct the papist blasphemies that got into the KJV via the illegitimate Vulgate.

"Moreover, you criticise theologians and "progressive Christians" for intellectual arrogance - they, you say, are the new Greeks - yet it seems to me, by your tone of writing, that you fall fowl of the same criticism.

I don't criticise theologians I just speak the Truth about them and they are offended. Jesus Christ was an offence to the religious - a stumbling block. What He said was foolishness to the intellectuals of His day. Nothing has changed only the passing of 2,000 years or so. Men are just the same now as they were then. Full of intellectual pride and vanity with their own agendas, which is not God's agenda.

I am not an intellectual I have no need of the high intellect, for all Scripture is Spiritually discerned and if one hasn't got The Holy Spirit it is impossible to discern Scripture, it's as simple as that.

"As far as I'm concerned, there is absolute truth (I don't think relativism is adequate), but we are not God; we are human and our experiences are limited and fallible."

Now here in this sentence we have all your intellectual credentials and give away signs. 'Absolute truth' and 'relativism' There is no such thing as absolute truth for The Truth is a person - Jesus Christ, not an abstract topic for endless conversation and never coming to an understanding of it. As for relativism, well as soon as a word gets an ism I switch off because I know it is totally irrelevant.

Of course your not God and nor am I, but I am His son so I can speak with His authority just as my brother Jesus Christ did when He walked this earth as God's Son.

"Kant says all experiences are interpreted experiences, so even our experience of God requires a subjective interpretation, which opens up the possibility of error."

Again are we supposed to be impressed by the name Kant. Kant certainly isn't in The Bible so why would any Born Again believer have need of this person? What kind of person needs Kant? I will tell you, only you and your fellow progressive 'Christians' who in turn are just Bible intellectuals who treat The Bible like a dead text book.

I think this is going to be another short discussion.

Sir/Madam,

You said:

"Progressive Christians do not believe the Bible is a dead text...on the contrary we believe the Bible is a LIVING book and we are listening to it as we live our daily lives"

Then why don't you do what is says, because what I see and hear about Progressive Christians is that they are just so much Laodicean spew in God's mouth.

"We beleive God is still speaking"

Well, you're not listening and that's the problem.

"What is he saying to you??"

God is saying to me - "Go tell those wretched Laodicean Progressives to repent and get with it, or I will spew them out of My mouth" Revelation 3

I also feel like you misrepresent Progressives as people who can't or won't stand behind their beliefs. Your reference to Laodicean's gives me the sense that you believe that the methaphors used in Revelations that refers to these people is a fair comparison of today's Progressive Christians. The difference between you, other traditional literalists and progressive Christians is not HOW we believe which is what I think you are getting at with your reference to Laodicean but the difference is that progressives believe that the metaphors and parables are telling us something different today than those same metaphors and parables were telling the people of Asia Minor during the Roman Empire.
When I say God is Still Speaking..I am suggesting that as life and times have changed that how humanity learns from those parables has changed just as humanity has changed.
I agree with you that the truth of scripture is revealed by Christ but I also beleive that it is our human experience that brings that truth to life. Each persons path and journey of faith is the what brings the infinite wisdom of God to all people through infinite paths and journeys in life.

 
At 9:16 am, Blogger yes2truth aka Charles Crosby said...

Mr OziasJett Family,

Your erroneous comments are in italiics:

"I also feel like you misrepresent Progressives as people who can't or won't stand behind their beliefs."

First of all, when it comes to 'feelings', feelings have nothing to do with repentance, belief and faith. In fact feelings have nothing to do with anything. Furthermore, I am not misrepresenting anything and I am spot on in my description of progressive 'Christianity' and how wretched it is. Oh, they stand behind their beliefs alright but their 'stand' such as it is, is all in vain.

"Your reference to Laodicean's gives me the sense that you believe that the methaphors used in Revelations that refers to these people is a fair comparison of today's Progressive Christians."

The word is Revelation, not Revelations. There is only one Revelation and it is Jesus Christ's Revelation to John and to all other Born Again believers. Again 'fairness' like 'feelings' have nothing to do with anything and my use of Revelation 3 is again spot on where most of modern western 'Christianity' is concerned, including much of Anglicanism/Episcopalianism.

"The difference between you, other traditional literalists and progressive Christians is not HOW we believe which is what I think you are getting at with your reference to Laodicean but the difference is that progressives believe that the metaphors and parables are telling us something different today than those same metaphors and parables were telling the people of Asia Minor during the Roman Empire."

I am not a traditional anything nor am I anything you can pigeon hole within your worldly intellectual mind set. I am a Spirit Born Son of God who speaks The Truth and Jesus Christ is The Truth. There are no different ways to believe - belief is belief, you either believe or you don't believe. Now if you say to me people believe in different things then yes, I will agree. The bottom line here is Salvation is through Jesus Christ and Him alone. There is only one way we can come to Him and that is if The Father draws us to Him [John 6:44]

The parables and metaphors are telling us exactly the same things as they were in the first century. The carnal mind is the carnal mind and human nature is human nature and all of it is a rebellion against God. Nothing has changed since Adam and Eve, nevermind the first century.

Now within your statement lies the wretchedness of modern progressive 'Christianity' and really, all it represents, is excuses and an explaining away of The Truth - a favourite pass time of know nothing theologians and assorted know nothing Bible intellectuals.

"When I say God is Still Speaking..I am suggesting that as life and times have changed that how humanity learns from those parables has changed just as humanity has changed."

You can suggest what you like but humanity/mankind has not changed and the evil that he does increases each day. This is why and how I know we are living in The Laodicean era of the Church and what you say is living proof of it.

"I agree with you that the truth of scripture is revealed by Christ but I also beleive that it is our human experience that brings that truth to life."

Our human experiences have no value whatever other than if they are used by the Father to bring us to His Son. The Prodigal Son experienced the pig sty in order to bring him to his senses. Have you had your 'pig sty' moment yet?


"Each persons path and journey of faith is the what brings the infinite wisdom of God to all people through infinite paths and journeys in life."

Now I agree with you're saying here, but I am sure that what you mean by it is something very different from what I glean from it. If I know progressives, that word 'faith' papers over a multitude of sins that are not repented of. Perhaps you could enlighten me on the subject of 'inclusivity' - one of your favourites!!

I appreciate and hear your words. Where I disagree with you is that you speak for God. God is too powerful to need a mere human to speak for God so directly. Just like Jesus and the parables...God speaks to each of his children directly and uses prophets and Jesus to show us first hand how to live with LOVE in our hearts and not fear and anger.
God's retributions come down on those who forget that God wants us to live in community and live in covenant with him....that can only be done by peace and justice...not by spreading fear and anger.
Living in covenant with our fellow man means we have to agree to disagree on somethings and know that we are all children of God in the end. Humanity has an opportunity to regain peace and bring God back to the world, but too many people have step away from God and then there are those like you who think they speak for God and speak only of ONE way. God is bigger than anything humanity can comprehend and the Christian path to salvation is just that...a path. The Buhddist path is their path to God, etc....

I pray for you and hope that your path to salvation works for you. God is there to care for you as God cares for me.

 
At 11:39 pm, Blogger yes2truth aka Charles Crosby said...

Hello, Please ask why,

What an unusual handle? So why do you say to ask why?

I don't ask why, because I know why! As should all Sons and Daughters of God. The problem is they listen to men of religion who also don't know why and end up being 'disciples' who also don't know why! Just fancy that, what a state of affairs!?

"I appreciate and hear your words. Where I disagree with you is that you speak for God."

If you truly appreciated and heard, not my words, but The Lord's Words through me, you would not disagree with me.

God is too powerful to need a mere human to speak for God so directly.

You could not be further from The Truth with the above remark, even if you had tried. If God were 'too powerful' He would never have sent His Son to save all mankind! Furthermore, I am not a 'mere human' I am a Spirit filled, Born Again being in a human body. As are all True Believers.

Just like Jesus and the parables...God speaks to each of his children directly and uses prophets and Jesus to show us first hand how to live with LOVE in our hearts and not fear and anger.

God primarily speaks to us through the indwelling of The Holy Spirit and that same Spirit enables Jesus Christ to personally lead us and direct us. If you see yourself as a child, and you still need the parables then you are not Spiritually mature, but rather stuck in a time warp caused by false teaching. Children are babes in Christ and the Spiritually mature are Sons of God and friends and Brothers of Jesus Christ.

Unfortunately, you don't understand Godly love - agape. Christians think Hollywood love is love - yuk! I am loving you now by correcting you. Jesus loved the Pharisees when he got angry and told them they were nests of vipers and hypocrites! Wake up from your Laodicean worldly slumber.

"God's retributions come down on those who forget that God wants us to live in community and live in covenant with him....that can only be done by peace and justice...not by spreading fear and anger.

What's all this retributions nonsense? Romans 8:1 "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."

Who is spreading fear and anger? Only you with your god with all his retributions I reckon.

There can only be 'community' as you call it, if their is likemindedness and the only way that can happen is when these so called Christians have turned away from their idols and religion and have repented.

"Living in covenant with our fellow man means we have to agree to disagree on somethings and know that we are all children of God in the end."

I am not 'in covenant' with my fellow man, I am under The New Covenant as a Son of God - I am in covenant with Jesus Christ. I am called "out of the world," so I am no longer "of the world."

Now this is the problem with most of mainstream Christianity 'cos it wants a foot in both camps. Now you know why I tell them The Truth - please or offend. Now am I pleasing you or offending you?

"Humanity has an opportunity to regain peace and bring God back to the world, but too many people have step away from God and then there are those like you who think they speak for God and speak only of ONE way.

I fear you have very little understanding for Scripture says the opposite of what you are saying 1 Thess 5:3 "For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape." This is end time prophecy and not many years hence.

As for 'one way', Jesus Christ is The Way, so yes there is only one way. I suggest you stick around and I will teach you The Truth for you truly have been badly taught.

"God is bigger than anything humanity can comprehend and the Christian path to salvation is just that...a path. The Buhddist path is their path to God, etc...."

Their is no path to Salvation unless you are unsaved. Once Born Again we are saved and their is no further path to it. The only path Buhddists have is to their graves like every other unsaved human being. There is no other redeemer than Jesus Christ and every knee will bow to Him. This means every human being that has ever lived will worship Jesus Christ.

"I pray for you and hope that your path to salvation works for you. God is there to care for you as God cares for me."

I am already saved, so your prayers, well intentioned as they may be, are too late. I have Salvation so need no path to it, and I am fully aware of how He looks after me. I hope too that one day soon He will open your eyes to The Truth.

Ah, Mr Beckman has turned up and it looks like he's been to comedian's classes with Mr McGrath.

They specialise in mocking sarcasm at these classes I'm told, but all to no avail.

" I am responding via my blog with the primary goal of clearing up what I feel to be some misrepresentations of myself presented by yes2truth here.

Don't waste your time there are no misrepresentations. At best he's a Laodicean liberal awaiting God's wrath, at worst, a Son of The Devil with his papist trinity god.

"However, I am not a progressive Christian according to the definition given by yes2truth, but he presumes that I am and uses it to misrepresent me."

What he doesn't understand is that a title is a title and if you give yourself a negative name then you will be seen as negative person, and you can't get more negative than wretched Progressive 'Christianity.' Which in reality isn't Christianity at all.

"I hope to clear up some of these in hopes that yes2truth will better understand me regarding those things."

The only thing that will clear anything up is your repentance. I understand you alright, better than you understand yourself where Spiritual matters are concerned.

Sir,

"Reign of reason"

Precisely, that's the problem - man and his reasoning and that's why we're in the mess that we're in today. Man has reasoned us here aided by the Devil.

"Interesting..."

It will be when you learn The Truth, but that is not possible unless The Father draws you or calls you to his Son - Jesus
Christ. Otherwise, you will remain lost and unsaved.

"I'm facinated with folks who believe a book (esp one as evil as the bible) was written by a god and not some group of oppressed tribesmen running around the middle east."

Your 'fascination' is irrelevant and the fact that you think the Bible is evil proves you don't understand it, nor will you until The Father opens your eyes to be able to read it and understand it.

"When you realize why your reject everyone else's gods and prophets, you'll realize why you no longer need yours."

The only accurate thing you have done or said is to spell the name of their 'god' with a small 'g'. They all worship the same god dressed in different clothes - The Devil. Furthermore I don't have a need for my God, as He already lives with me through The Holy Spirit in my heart.

"Good luck!"

I don't need luck, you're the one who needs luck for you believe in luck and I don't.

When this world starts to crumble and the effluent starts to hit the fan, you know where to find me and I will help you to repent.

Here is a simple question: Can we have the same sort of effect on religions like Christianity? Can we change Christianity from a "majority" activity into a fringe activity, and in the process replace it with something much, much better?

The idea of unseating something as strong as Christianity sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? But then, when women first started talking about gaining the right to vote, that sounded ridiculous too. We have to start somewhere.

The way to change the world is to change people's minds. As more and more people openly discuss the fact that "God" and "Allah" are completely imaginary, the world becomes a better place. The people who believe in "religion" look sillier and sillier. Eventually, religion becomes a fringe activity that is meaningless.

Whenever anyone says "God," we should reply, "God is imaginary."

Mr, Mrs or Miss Anonymous,

First of all, if you do not make yourself known in your possible reply to my post here, I will delete it unopened.

"Here is a simple question: Can we have the same sort of effect on religions like Christianity?"

Impossible, for you do not believe nor can you believe unless The Father calls you to His Son. John 6:44 "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day."

"Can we change Christianity?"

You can't, but I can, because I have God's Power - The Holy Spirit and you don't. You have to be Born Again in order to have God's power.

"From a "majority" activity into a fringe activity, and in the process replace it with something much, much better?"

What you and the rest of secular society think is Christianity - isn't. Furthermore, being a non-believer you have nothing you could replace it with, you are no different from the Greek philosophers of the first century and the 21st century. These people considered the Gospel message foolishness then and the 21st century variety like yourself, still do.

Only Jesus Christ through me as a Son of God can replace mainstream 'Christianity' with anything better - The Truth - something, as yet, you do not understand, but one day you will.

"The idea of unseating something as strong as Christianity sounds ridiculous, doesn't it?"

No, it doesn't sound ridiculous to me, because that is what I am in the process of doing, but what I am 'unseating', to use your terminology, is not Christianity, but religion.

Following Jesus Christ is not religion.

Religion is just a counterfeit, a phoney and a confidence trick which deluded souls, in their billions, follow in vain.

"But then, when women first started talking about gaining the right to vote, that sounded ridiculous too."

Men and women with their political systems are futile foolishness to God, for His Kingdom is not of this world (age). His Kingdom on this earth is yet to come when Jesus Christ returns to rule as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

"We have to start somewhere."

Fortunately for mankind you will get nowhere, so stop wasting your time.

"The way to change the world is to change people's minds. As more and more people openly discuss the fact that "God" and "Allah" are completely imaginary, the world becomes a better place."

No man can change this world for the better because he hasn't got it in him (the power) to be able to change the world for the better. All man can do is make it worse, which is what he has done since the Garden of Eden.

Agreed, bringing an end to religion is all very fine, but you do not have the power to do it, only Jesus Christ has the power to do it.

What you must understand is that those people who worship a god of religion are worshipping the Devil and the Devil is the god of this world (age). He is also very powerful and you are no match for him without God. My advice, therefore, is go do something else before you get into trouble or even danger.

You have been warned, so heed my advice.

Why are you asking me a question that you already know the answer to?

All theology is bunk - all of it, including the theology you are trying to impress me with on youtube, which incidently, I couldn't find, so I have no idea of the point you are trying to make.

As for 'peace being upon me', well that came upon me when I was baptised and I was given the Holy Spirit, and through that Spirit Jesus Christ now lives with me. Fortunately, you cannot bestow peace, or anything else upon me. The peace that passeth all understanding is God given.

I hope this clears up a few of your many misunderstandings.

Hello Steven,

My opinion isn't worth a pile of dung, but The Truth - Jesus Christ is priceless.

This person you have found looks and sounds like just another weirdo - a real 24 carrat weirdo. Avoid him like the plague!!

The Lord Jesus Christ warned us about individuals like him.

Matt 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

This verse means many will come with a non-gospel preaching about a christ, but not the real Jesus Christ.

Matt 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Mar 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.


We are to be witnesses of these people and these events to prove and give evidence about them later when Jesus Christ returns. People cannot be judged without truthful evidence.

Again, I hope this helps you and yes we are living in the last of the last days.
