It seems many are confused when it comes to being baptized into Christ' death ~ Born Again. I have broken this topic into several posts. I will share scripture in hopes that some may get some clarity. As always, it is my understanding, I am not pushing it on anyone. If you agree, that's great. If you don't, that's okay too. I will begin by touching on the trinity and the antichrist first. There is a remnant that God the Father chooses for this calling, that is being born again, not all will have it. These will experience things that many will not, a spiritual awakening, being called does not mean you are chosen.
Have FAITH...in time, all will have an understanding...on the last day, as every knee will bend.
Romans 14:11 ASV — For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, to me every knee shall bow, And every tongue shall confess to God.
The above verse is quoted from the Old Testament...
Isaiah 45:23 ASV — By myself have I sworn, the word is gone forth from my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
Now let's read the previous verses (21-22) in Isaiah, it shows us that "Lord" in verse 11 of Romans is referred to Jehovah, not Jesus...
Isaiah 45:21-22 ASV — Declare ye, and bring it forth; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath showed this from ancient time? who hath declared it of old? have not I, Jehovah? and there is no God else besides me, a just God and a Saviour; there is none besides me. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else.
Philippians 2:10 ASV — that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth,
What is "in" the name of Jesus?
Strong's G2424: Jesus ~ "Jehovah is Salvation"
When all bow to Jesus they will bow to the Father, as he was anointed with God's power. It is Jesus who reveals Him. To see him, is to see the Father, metaphorically speaking, not physically - not incarnate.
John 5:43 ASV — I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
As Jesus answered: "if another shall come in his own name, him ye will recieve" sadly, many of you do.
- Those who refuse the Christ, (Jews and alike) and are expecting Christ to appear in Jerusalem, a false Christ.
- Those who made Christ equal to the Father and a triune God ~ part of a Trinity (Roman Catholics - Pope and trinitarians alike) you've made Jesus a false God.
- Then, there are those who took the place of Christ as mediator (GB of Jehovah's Witnesses) these have made themselves God (golden calf).
- These are false teachers, the false prophets from where the Antichrist comes.
So why did Jehovah call him God?
Hebrews 1:8-9 ASV — but of the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; And the sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Son of Man ~ Spirit ~ AngelJohn 6:39 ASV — And this is the will of him that sent me, that of all that which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.
Daniel 12:4 ASV — But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
It's God's timing, not ours...trust in it.
Joel 2:32 ASV — And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Jehovah shall be delivered; for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those that escape, as Jehovah hath said, and among the remnant those whom Jehovah doth call.
Romans 9:20 ASV — Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why didst thou make me thus?
Please do not question Jehovah God's purposes. He sent Jesus Christ to save us. Trust in the Father and you will be guided. Please be the sheep...the righteous ones. Some will be in heaven, some will be on earth.
Ecclesiastes 5:1 ASV — Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God; for to draw nigh to hear is better than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they know not that they do evil.
Proverbs 3:5-6 ASV — Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding: In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he will direct thy paths.
Matthew 25:45-46 ASV — Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least, ye did it not unto me. And these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life.
John 12:48 ASV — He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day.
How many of you believe in Jesus and don't call on the name of Jehovah?
Is there anywhere in scripture that states Jesus is the Almighty God...
or does Jesus himself cleary state that there is ONE God?
Isaiah 13:6 ASV — Wail ye; for the day of Jehovah is at hand; as destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
Mark 12:29-30 ASV — Jesus answered, The first is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God, the Lord is one: and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.
Jesus' own words are quoting from the Old Testament...the Torah (Tanakh ~ Hebrew Bible) He is speaking to a Jewish audience and would not quote from the Greek Septuagint. Many assume that he quotes from the Greek translation, yet, we don't have the original text of the NT to know exactly how he quoted.
Deuteronomy 6:4-5 ASV — Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah: and thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
Is the trinity (triune God) in the Bible?
To those who claim that many take away the Deity of Christ. I agree, but I ask you this...
Do you take away the Deity of the Father, the One and Only, True God ~ Jehovah?
Yes, you do.
1 Timothy 1:1 ASV — Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Saviour, and Christ Jesus our hope;
1 Timothy 1:5-8 ASV — But the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned: from which things some having swerved have turned aside unto vain talking; desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor whereof they confidently affirm. But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully,
The Law: As stated earlier, the Lord referenced here is Jehovah God.
Matthew 22:37-40 ASV — And he said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second like unto it is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments the whole law hangeth, and the prophets.
It's so simple, yet men complicate it.
The only thing a church should be teaching is LOVE and how to help those in need.
Rely on Jehovah and follow Jesus Christ. That's it, the rest will follow.
Jesus Christ is our Lord and should be worshipped as the Father, only because he reveals Him to us. When we worship Jesus it must be to the glory of the Father. Scriptures clearly tell us who the One True God is, but many would rather believe doctrines of men. Jesus has revealed the Father, but he is not the Father incarnate...Jesus Christ is Lord.
John 17:3 ASV — And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou didst send, even Jesus Christ.
John 1:18 ASV — No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
John 1:18 NASB95 — No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.
Jesus is godly, but he is not Jehovah God Himself. There are many who understand this already, who are reading the same scriptures as you, it is you who refuses to accept it...maybe you can't accept that you may have been wrong. I know it will hurt, but the truth will set you free and unless you accept it, you will remain blind and you will have no one else to blame, but yourself. Learn the difference, put down your pride. If you're refusing to see something, then you won't. Stop relying on man to guide you.
Proverbs 3:5-6 ASV — Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding: In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he will direct thy paths.
There are countless, from different denominations who are trying to teach you this already...please listen and pray to Jehovah God for guidance and ask for Holy Spirit in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ. Remember, you don't need to belong to any denomination to understand it. I love you and will continue to pray for you.
1 Corinthians 8:6 ASV — yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him.
It is a FALSE TEACHING, it is not sound, if you teach it, YOU ARE A FALSE TEACHER.
2 Corinthians 11:14 ASV — And no marvel; for even Satan fashioneth himself into an angel of light.
If you want the truth, keep on knocking. Please read a Bible with Jehovah's name in the Old Testament. Stop letting Satan blind you. Draw close to Jehovah, get to know the Father, because if you continue to believe in the (triune God) trinity, then you will never truly know Him...many of you don't even know His name.
Psalm 83:18 ASV — That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, Art the Most High over all the earth.
Matthew 7:7-8 ASV — Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
After the woman, the dragon turns his attention to the seed. For those who've been called, if you're chosen this pertains to you. It does not matter what you've believed in before, heart condition...if it's meant to be you, you will know it. Let no man deceive you, this goes to Jew and Gentile alike.
Revelation 12:17 ASV — And the dragon waxed wroth with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, that keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus:
Matthew 24:45 ASV — Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath set over his household, to give them their food in due season?
What does a mother do?
She feeds her children.
Genesis 17:16 ASV — And I will bless her, and moreover I will give thee a son of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be of her.
Galatians 4:26 ASV — But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is our mother.
Genesis 3:15 ASV — and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Please reflect on who YOU are as a person. It's up to you as an individual, to do the right thing. Be the very best version of a human being that you can be. Many say they love regardless of one's belief, but many have proven their words to be false. I live it almost everyday.
Be honest with yourself...
When one doesn't believe like you, do you really, truly love them?
Do you truly LOVE everyone regardless?
You can lie to your neighbor, or to yourself, but you can't lie to the Father... Jehovah.
Jehovah reads the heart, He knows where your heart is right now.
Proverbs 21:2 ASV — Every way of a man is right in his own eyes; But Jehovah weigheth the hearts.
Proverbs 24:12 ASV — If thou sayest, Behold, we knew not this; Doth not he that weigheth the hearts consider it? And he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? And shall not he render to every man according to his work?
Luke 16:15 ASV — And he said unto them, Ye are they that justify yourselves in the sight of men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
Acts 1:24 ASV — And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show of these two the one whom thou hast chosen,
Hebrews 4:7 ASV — he again defineth a certain day, To-day, saying in David so long a time afterward (even as hath been said before), To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts.
Matthew 22:14 ASV — For many are called, but few chosen.
Jesus sits at the right hand, until Jehovah puts his enemies at his feet. Afterwards, Jesus will then sit on his throne and rule as King, resuming his role as the Christ, with the Power of Jehovah God.
Hebrews 1:13 ASV — But of which of the angels hath he said at any time, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet?
Quoted from...
Psalm 110:1 ASV — A Psalm of David. Jehovah saith unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, Until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
Matthew 25:31 ASV — But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory:
May Jehovah through Jesus Christ bring you...
~ Peace, Love and Joy ~
