TRINITY
Gen 1:1, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” In Hebrew, it says “Elohiym bara”. “Elohiym” is plural for ‘God’; “bara” is singular for ‘created’. It shows a plural God that is one. This is enough scripture for those who love truth. The heretic will say, “Yes, but …” The seven letters allow for minor doctrinal differences between churches but the Trinity is a salvation issue; non-negotiable. The sun is a ball of nuclear fire, light on Earth, and warmth on our skin. Are all three the sun? The Father is in heaven, His Son came to Earth, and we feel the Holy Spirit.
John 8:42, “I proceeded forthG1831 and came out of God; neither came I of Myself, but He sentG649 Me.” In Greek, the “proceeded forth and came out of God” denotes origin, i.e. begotten. John 1:1, “In the beginning was the Word(Rev. 19:13), and the Word was withG4314(in)God, and the Word was God” then Jesus was emitted or exhaledG1831 out ofG1537 the Father, who later “sentG649 Me” to Earth. This is how He has always existed but there was also a point in time when He was ‘begotten’, John 3:16. John 16:27, “I came outG1831 from God”. Whereas everything created was created by Jesus - John 1:3; Col. 1:16. John 17:5, “the glory which I had withG3844(near) thee before the world was.
DECEPTION
2Cor. 4:4, “the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” 2 Thes. 2:10, “they accepted not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:That they all might be damned”(Isa 66:4).
The heretic hopes to deceive you by twisting a couple verses while avoiding the rest. Jude 1:4, “there are certain men crept in unawares … denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” ‘Oneness’ heretics deny Jesus with verses like Isa. 9:6, “unto us a child is born … and His name shall be called Wonderful… The everlasting Father”. They say “Jesus is the Father’, but the term “father”/אָבH1 was used in a figurative sense(Gen. 45:8, Psa. 68:6; as a teacher or master, 1Sam. 10:12, 2Kings 2:12, 5:13, 6:12; provider, maker, or origin, Job 38:28/ Jesus Maker- Col. 1:16).
2Pet. 2:1, “there shall be false teachers among you, who surreptitiously shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them”. Modalists say God is one person who appears in different forms. They deny Jesus. 2Cor. 11:3, “But I fear ... as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.”
John 3:13, “no man has ascended up to heaven, but He that came down from heaven, the Son of man which is in heaven.” The “is in heaven” is a Greek ‘historical present’ to dramatize. Jesus was saying He came down to Earth but His proper place is in heaven, unlike man. When you know the truth about some of their tricks, heretics will simply try another lure to catch you.
THEY ARE ONE GOD
Exo 3:2, “the Messenger of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush and … (6) said ‘I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.” This Messenger of Father God, Jesus, is also God (Gen. 22:15-16). Jesus said “if you believe not that I AM, you shall die in your sins … (26)He that sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of Him”, John 8:24. You shall, “know that I AM, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father has taught Me … He that sent Me is with Me: the Father has not left Me alone … Before Abraham was, I AM,”John 8:28, 58. Deceivers say Father God sends Himself. Fierce Roman soldiers came to arrest Jesus but when He declared with the voice of eternity “I AM!”, they fell back in terror (John 18:6).
1John 5:7, “there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. Isa. 42:8, “I am the LORD: that is My name: and My glory will I not give to another”. Jesus was worshipped which is only for God (Mat.2:11, 8:2, 28:9,17; John 9:38; Heb. 1:6).Phili. 2:6, “Who, having altogether the nature of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God”. Col. 1:15, “Who is the image of the invisible God”.
THEY ARE THREE PERSONS
Gen. 1:26,“Let us make man in our image, after our likeness”. Heb. 1:2, “His Son … the express image of His person”. Mark 13:32, “of that day and that hour knows no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father”(Mat. 24:36). Mark 15:34, “Jesus cried with a loud voice … My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken Me?” John 14:16, Jesus said, “I will pray the Father”.Rom. 8:3, “God sending his own Son”.
1Tim. 2:5, “one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus”. Rev. 5:6, “a Lamb … came and took the book out of the right hand of Him that sat upon the throne.” Rev. 1:11, “I am Alpha and Omega … (17) the first and the last: I am He that lives, and was dead”. Was Father God dead?
Mat. 28:19, “baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit”. Mat. 12:32, “whosoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him” (Mark 3:29, Luke 12:10). John 16:13, “when He, the Spirit of truth, is come … He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak”. Rom. 8:26, “the Spirit Itself makes intercession for us”.
ECUMENISM WITH HERETICS
“The restoration of unity among all Christians is one of the principal concerns of the Second Vatican Council”(Decree on Ecumenism,
Unitatis Redintegratio, 11-21-64).
This change of strategy in Vatican II told Catholics to infiltrate and subvert. It was highly effective. Focus on the Family made a “Covenant of Mutual Respect” with Catholicsand others (800-A FAMILY; Colo. Springs Gazette-Telegraph: “A Message to the People of Colo. Springs”, 4-22-93). Focus has the idolaters on staff.
Billy Graham referredformer Catholics at his crusades back to the Catholic church. Franklin Graham told a crowd, “Buddhists and Muslims will be in heaven through the name of Jesus Christ!” He lied. There will be no Buddhists or Muslims in heaven. They must repent and become Christian, 1 Cor. 6:9-11. John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by Me”(Acts 4:12).
The Voice of the Martyrs (877-337-0302) gives part of your donations to Muslim and Catholic leaders. Their groups kill our Christian brethren. VOM and dc Talk co-authored a book(‘Jesus Freaks’) about Christian Martyrs, including many from the Catholic Inquisitions. They used accounts from ‘Foxe’s Book of Martyrs’ but craftily left out the word “Catholic”. We see this as standing on the backs of martyrs while pandering to their killers.
Randall Terry started the radical pro-life group Operation Rescue in the 70’s (RandallTerry.com). He tolerated Catholics and their donations which led to acceptance. He has now left Christianity for Catholicism. Gangrene is progressive. Satan is very clever at shifting lukewarms from faith in the power of God to a secular or ecumenical effort in the power of man(Jer. 17:5, 2Chr 7:14, Ezr 4:1-4, Heb 10:38).
Chuck Smith founded Calvary Chapel (800-272-9673).Years ago, he was on a video which dramatically showed Catholicism IS NOT Christianity. It shows their idolatry, demon apparitions, etc. It’s spooky. We recommend it (Messages From Heaven, Eternal Prod. 877-370-7770). Smith hasfallen and now condemns divisions such as, “ ‘I’m a Baptist,’ ... ‘I’m a Catholic’ ... I have found that the more spiritual a person becomes, the less denominational he is. We should realize that we’re all part of the body of Christ and that there aren’t any real divisions in the body. We’re all one.” (Aptly titled, What is a Carnal Christian, Vol 19, pg 9.)
Balaam taught how to subvert God’s people: get them to associate, then accept, then join (Ex. 34:15; Deu. 13; Num. 25:2, 31:16; Mar 3:25, Rev. 2:14). 1Cor 5:11, “not to keep company, if any man that is called a brotherbe a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater ... with such a one no not to eat.” 2John 10, “If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him greeting: For he that bids him greeting is partaker of his evil deeds.” Rom. 16:17,“mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which youp have learned”(2Thes. 3:6).
Tricky preachers respond that sinners can go to their church, which dodges the issue of whether sin is accepted there. In society, we can be around atheists, Buddhists, prostitutes, murderers, and even tax collectors. Spiritual fellowship with a counterfeit Christian is quite different. It is the difference between foreign money and counterfeit. The only purpose of a counterfeit is to deceive and defraud. Gal 5:9, “A little leaven leavens the whole lump.” Rom 14:1,“Him that is weak in the faith receive youp, but not to doubtful disputations.”
ALL BIBLE QUOTES IN OUR PAMPHLETS ARE FROM A TRUE KJ, UNLESS IDENTIFIED. Titus 3:10, “A man that is ahereticG141 after the first and second admonition reject”;whereas theso-called ‘NEW KJ’ has, “Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition”. Greek “hairetikosG141” is directly “heretic” but the NKJ changed it to “divisive”. Christians are to be divisive against heretics but the trendy NKJ reversed this, to accept the heretic and reject those who object. They sell millions of books to modernist churches.
Many churches now accept Catholics, sodomites, adultery, female clergy, abortion, Islam, etc. They have Native American shaman, yoga meditation, spirit birthing, fake healing, and preach wealth. Baptist churches are eaten-up with Calvinists and Dispensationalists. Satan is focused on unity via tolerance. The church is in free fall. Luke 12:51, “Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother”.
1Cor. 10:21, “ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.” Eph. 5:11, “have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”
Pro. 6:19, God hates, “he that sows discord among brethren” but heretics are not brethren.2Cor. 6:14, “Be youp not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion has light with darkness? And what concord has Christ with Satan? or what part has he that believes with an infidel? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? for youp are the temple of the living God; as God has said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be youp separate”.
1Tim. 4:1,“The Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils”. 2Pet. 3:17, “beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness”.
