THE ONE PERSON OF GOD

Important in any modality of belief is internal consistency. The truth must always be the truth and there must be no deviation from it. The doctrines of The New Testament must align with the doctrines of The Old Testament. Jesus, as you shall see, always was, is, and will be!

With that idea in mind, the basis of The Old Testament is “The Law of God” and so it must be in The New Testament as well.

Jesus brought The Law full circle when He said, “Think not that I AM come to destroy The Law, or the prophets: I AM not come to destroy, but to fulfil” (Mat 5:17). As the Cornerstone of the Church, Jesus is also the Tablets of Stone on which The Law was written.

Now, let’s compare two thoughts, one from The Old (below) and one from The New Testament (near the end of the commentary): 

You shall fear the Lord your God; Him shall you serve, and to Him shall you cleave, and swear by His Name. He is your praise, and He is your God that has done for you these great and terrible things, which your eyes have seen. (Deut 10:20-21) 

Moses was speaking to the Israelites after The Law was provided to them. Moses was saying, You should by now know the LORD GOD by the things He has done. Moses asked them to consider the things they had seen and even been through and identify the Doer of those things to be the LORD GOD. They should be able to see God by His actions, or dynamics.

In like manner, the “Virtue” that Jesus felt leaving His body, in the Greek, is “Dynamos.” The Jews should have recognized that Jesus was God by the things they saw Him do: miracles, sayings, loving, and even scolding, as it is in the passage above.

By the same token, Christians should see God, even in the seemingly absence of Jesus by the things that He does. Jesus is not absent for His Name is not only Jesus but Emanuel — “God With Us.”

Jesus was not literally raised from the dead, as it is written in English, but according to this, “Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dies no more; death has no more dominion over Him” (Rom 6:9).

 “Being raised” therein is egeiro in the Greek. According to Strong’s Dictionary, that is God collecting His faculties. Hence, Jesus was not just raised, but His Substances were again in homeostasis (stability) after having been torn apart at the crucifixion. “Death,” in Christianity, is not of the body, but the absence of the Spirit of God in the soul of a person. In other words, the body of a believer is just a container, or vessel, to contain the soul. Jesus called His Vessel, a “Cup” (Luke 22:42).

The faculties of Jesus remain intact right here to this day. He is not up there at all, but right here, as He was in the time of Moses, according to the writer, John (John 1:1-14).

There indeed is God somewhere in the heavens on His throne, but the Earth is His footstool (Isa 66:1). God is not stretched out from out there to here, but heaven is as near as mortal death. The “door” on which Jesus knocks (Rev 3:20) is a portal to heavenly Paradise and the Way is from the feet of God on His “footstool” to the throne where is Head rests.

God has always been three substances in three distinct forms (homeostasis) except for the parts of three days that He was disassembled as His other two Divine Substances were ripped from His Body. Jesus did not die like mortal men, but evil men demanded His Spirit separate from Person.

That means that God is always with us in whatever form or substance that He is seen. How close is Jesus now? He is right here, right now! How do we know that Jesus remains with us? By the actions that He still produces.

When the Christian is “born again” and becomes a new person in Christ, that is God With Us (Emanuel) and Jesus still giving up Virtue by altering the nature of the person. It may be that if there is no change, then God is not within you.

Like in a biological experiment, those responsible for the crucifixion were assigned that task by God Himself, as Jesus implied to Pontius Pilate (John 10:18). The Good Teacher Himself was dissected by the class to teach a good lesson!

Jesus lost virtue as He was ripped apart by ignorant students, as Jesus said, “They know not what they do” (Lule 23:34). The class that day had some of the most ignorant students ever… even after they had dissected Jesus, they still failed to realize that God has three substances. There were just a few of the students who knew what they had done: Pilate, perhaps his wife, the repentant thief, and the centurion who did the “circumcising” of his Divine Flesh.

You may have missed it, but the crucifixion was not just a mob doing their thing, but a well-organized passion play to teach the less literate students who did not know “The Word” by the Teacher doing things. God allowed Himself to be dissected even by unclean students to reveal His three parts.

One elderly Christian who has been in churches all his life still thought that only a man was crucified. Even after reading about the crucifixion several times in the Bible, he failed to see that Jesus was more than a Person, but the Person of God in the form of a man and with objective substance.

Since that time, Jews saw it likewise. They were failed students when they only saw a man on the cross.

The Muslims saw it differently; they failed to understand that a Man died, seeing only the phantom of Him — The Holy Ghost — that came off the cross.

Others only saw the sudden darkness and the splitting of the Earth; the things that God did. Christians are defined to be those who saw the entirety of God on the cross: the Man, His Holy Ghost, and the Power of God during those eventful hours. When the Earth was split and  the darkness ensued, even the stupid ones should have seen that it was God at work.

After the death and resurrection of Christ, God’s forms and substances became stable again (“homeostasis’). However, after proving the three substances and forms of Himself, the Great Teacher still has many slow learners to this day, as Jesus would point out: 

He that denies Me before men shall be denied before the angels of God and whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him, but unto him that blasphemes against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven. (Luke 12:9-10) 

Jesus could be seen, so to believe in Him needed no divine insight. However, only sincerely true Christians would understand that the Holy Ghost of Jesus is as much “God” as is the Person of Jesus. Taking that one step further, Jesus still acts upon the world, and the Spirit of God at work is still as much God as Jesus or the Holy Ghost.

Some still fail to believe that God created all things; they fail to see the Almighty God by the way He reveals Himself in the world.

Right now, the short period of peace in Israel is God still at work, spreading His Virtue. Even most Christians still fail to see God in the things that He does, but that Good Work in the world is still the Power of God who has authority over all things.

When Christians say they are “blessed,” what is it that they denote? The Supreme Power of God guiding and directing them. That Power is Jesus guiding the Way to eternal life.

God is not really three persons as you have been wrongly taught; Jesus is the Person of God, the Holy Ghost the Presence of God in bodily shape (Luke 3:22), and the Holy Spirit the Almighty Power still doing things to persuade mankind to become Christians.

Jesus felt the absence of Father God at the crucifixion. Where was He? He was persuading those who watched by splitting the earth, darkening the skies, and then shining Light. God was losing Virtue to “split” Himself into three distinct parts. All three Substances of God — “The Godhead” — was torn asunder and revealed to mankind.

What was missed in The Old Testament except for a few prophets was that Jesus was there. He was revealed so many times but most of the people failed to see the Person of Jesus (Yeshua) when He was made manifest. John explained that (John 1:1-14), but people still do not understand.

The name of God was written fifty times in The Old Testament — as “Yeshua” — hidden in the Hebrew word for “salvation,” yet they still did not see Him when He was revealed.

The birth of Jesus was not a natural birth at all, but the Image of God revealed as a Divine Man — God made manifest (John 1:31). Jesus pre-existed and was revealed to mankind as God and still most failed the Teacher’s active lesson.

There remains a problem — So many people believe that God is a “has been” and is no longer here. That is blasphemy of the Holy Ghost. Some people are still ignorant even after all the lessons. Why is that? Because they still cannot see the Holy Ghost by the things that He (Christ) is still doing.

Remember from the beginning what Moses said about Father God? Now look at what Paul wrote to the Romans who could not see God: 

The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God has shown it unto them.

For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse; because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. (Rom 1:18-21) (My underline) 

The underlined in that passage parallels Deuteronomy 10:20-21 from the beginning of this commentary.

What did Yeshua do for the Israelites? Lead them to safety for forty years. It took many years for them to become convinced that they were not following Moses, but Yeshua Himself, and most were still not convinced.

If you saw a pillar of fire or a pillar of a cloud leading you all that time, would you even understand those Divine Images — the Power of God — were as much God as the Person of God was shown to be?

God can always be understood by the things that He has done. Not dead, God was delivering the repentant thief to Paradise in heaven the moment that He “died.” Jesus was still saving, even in what appeared to be death.

God did not die but lost all His Virtue in healing the nations (Psalm 67:2, Rev 22:2). Jesus sacrificed all His Power to save all of mankind by grace. He was not dead, but only immobile as He rested from His good work.

Hopefully, you now understand that The Old Testament is as much about Jesus as The New Testament. You should also understand that the Holy Ghost is the invisible Presence of God in bodily form and just as real as the body of Jesus. His form did not change but His invisible Substance was revealed at both His Baptism and Crucifixion.

And all those miracles? They revealed that Jesus indeed was God, doing only things that a true God could do. When the Jews saw the wonders that Jesus performed, they should have seen Yahweh performing them.
