There is no need using strong languages against each other. If U̶̲̥̅̊ dnt believe Christ is God and He came down †̥o take up human flesh so as 2 redeem Man becoz no Man's blood is fit enof; Keep it 2 U̶̲̥̅̊rself coz its really btw U̶̲̥̅̊ & Your faith. As 4me, I dnt want 2 worship a god †̥ha†̥ I can reduce †̥o logic or mere words.

Hmm...it seems its only rev 22 that is remaining.
Enigmatic, its better we start from the beginning ie rev 1:1-2 to understand the rest of revelations better.
1 The revelation from Jesus Christ,
which God gave him to show his
servants what must soon take
place. He made it known by
sending his angel to his servant
John, 2 who testifies to everything
he saw—that is, the word of God
and the testimony of Jesus Christ.

God gave Christ every thing we read about in the revelation and Chris brought the message from God to us. And Christ made it known to us by means of His angels.
Its like when GEJ sends a minister to represent him and read an address. The minister will read it this way "I, the president, commander in chief of the armed forces. I here by give all of you free electricity..." You know? Some thing like that. I will come to verse 22 letter. Please any one that has some thing to add should please do so. Except Ifedinobi.

My question to trinitarians is:::

If Yahweh gave aLl the revelations to Jesus we read from the book of revelations,then why are we arguing??

Its obvious Jesus is a seperate being from Yahweh and also that Jesus isn't all knowing,.......Jesus recieves revelations..meaning the Father supplies Jesus with informations,which Jesus did convey to the angel,that later conveyed it to JOHN.....

Bookmark u. Just made a good point up there....

Anyone who is ready to learn the truth will discard this pagan doctrine called the ""trinity""

The Trinity is an attack on the first commandment of GOD.

When asked about the most important commandment, here's what Jesus said.

New International Version (©1984)
One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, "Of all the commandments, which is the most important? Jesus replied, "The most important commandment is this: 'Listen, O Israel! The LORD our God is the one and only LORD." - Mark 12:28-29


This is akin to 'thou shall have no other gods before me'.


If we were to apply the Trinitarian principle , we have :

You sound like you are now disarmed by some of the explanations you are now seeing. Don't worry, it is a win win for all of us. Truth is truth. There is no Small, big, half or false truth.
You are not the only one that believes he is free and saved. People from other religion also believe that. But as a Christian, let your salvation be based on the truth in the word of God.

@Boomark,

Boomark:

You sound like you are now disarmed by some of the explanations you are now seeing.

Not so fast, mister. Reconcile the red and blue texts below.

Boomark:
Hebrews 1:1-12
1 God, who at various times and
in various ways spoke in time
past to the fathers BY THE PROPHETS,
2 has in these last days spoken to
us BY HIS SON, whom He has
appointed heir of all things,
through whom also He made
the worlds;....
8 But to the Son He says: "Your
throne, O God, is forever and
ever; A scepter of righteousness
is the scepter of Your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness
and hated lawlessness;
THEREFORE GOD, YOU GOD, has
anointed You With the oil of
gladness more than Your
COMPANIONS."
10 And: "You, LORD, in the
beginning laid the foundation
of the earth, And the heavens
are the work of Your hands.
11 They will perish, but You
remain; And they will all grow
old like a garment;
12 Like a cloak You will fold them
up, And they will be changed.
But You are the same, And Your
years will not fail."


Let me explain it to you.
From verse 1 and 2, do you see the similarity of what the prophets and the Son does for the Father. It is very clear.
Verse 8. God is the one speaking to Christ. The word GOD does not make Him greater than or equal to the Father.
Verse 9 shows that God is His God. And God anointed Him more than His COMPANIONS. Who are they?
By anointing Him, God gave Him everything and made Him Lord over us and every other thing.

The bolded. No, we don't. What we know is that messengers (in your example, ministers) say, "So-and-so sent me to tell you the following: 'I . . .'" Why do we see a different language in Revelation?

The underlined. Get to it quick, if you don't mind.

In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke. ~ Isaiah 6:1-4

Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about him. ~ John 12:41

You guys are funny.

First of all this is not referring to Christ but GOD, and if this was Christ where were the Father and the Holy Spirit grin

Anyway I did some work for you even though many Trinitarian scholars know this is in reference to Yahweh .

The Lord Almighty refers to Yahweh.

3068 Yhovah yeh-ho-vaw' from 1961; (the) self-Existent or Eternal; Jehovah, Jewish national name of God:--Jehovah, the Lord. Compare 3050, 3069.

In John 12:41 Isaiah saw the future glory of Christ when he will be lifted up to the highest places to sit at the right hand of God.

You do realise that Isaiah is called a book of Prophecy for a reason , no ?

Please come up with something better.

Did I tell you that your explanations are contradictory? Oh yes, I did! Think you can go back now and deal with the first contradiction I pointed out in your explanation of the passage in Hebrews? I'd be surprised if you did. And surprised too if you don't make a worse contradiction trying to salvage yourself.

As it is, you're digging your own metaphorical grave more energetically with more contradictions in attempting to explain some more. I'm not going to deal with the issues in the above quote until I see that you have done or do not want to do justice to the problems I pointed out in previous efforts you made.

Don't be shy o, ehn. You are humble and possess the Truth so you should have no problems solving contradictions that you create.

Enigma: ^^^ That they cannot deal with the passages from Revelation 22 especially shows that it is not very productive engaging them ---- the only use of the exercise has been to provide the counter points for the benefit of others. smiley

cool

are you honest enough that your confusing revelation alpha and omega has not been dealt with?

How honest are trinitarians?

Jesus is not the alpha and omega but Yahweh is, you are just forcing Jesus into a passage that does not say so.

Enigma:


And Jesus also is Alpha and Omega; here is just one example of where the Bible says so clearly. smiley

Revelation 22:12



cool

Did that Revelation mention the name of Jesus as the alpha and Omega or you are forcing it on the scripture?

This is Revelation 22 we are talking about you know?

Jesus had already come in chapter 19, and executed judgement.

In chapter 20:1-3 he imprison satan.

same revelation 20:4-6, he resurrected the holy ones which is the reward that he Jesus promise he was coming back for,
to give reward to them, to take them to where he was.

Infact read revelation chapters 19 and 20.

Jesus havent finished with his promises of taking/bringing the righteous back to life in revelation 20, it is not him again in Revelation 22:12.

In Revelation 21:1-4 we hear of Yahweh's throne coming down from heaven to be with man like he was with Adam.

After the 1000 yrs rulership of christ he hands over the kingdom to Yahweh.

Chapters 21 and 22 is after Jesus had played his part and 've rule for the 1000.

ARE YOU SAYING THAT CHRIST IS COMING TWO TIMES?
After coming in chapter 19 and 20 of Revelation?

WOW!

they are deceived/confused because RCC had the name of Yahweh removed from the bible, so, whenever they see the place that described Yahweh and they replace with the title lord they end up thinking and shouting Jesus.

They really need to develop real love for Yahweh and forget about their position in their chuches for the love of God and take side for the truth.

We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.” ~ John 10:33

For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God. ~ John 5:18

No , he did not claim to be GOD.

They wanted to stone him because he said he was the SON of GOD, stop implying other meanings into plain scripture.

in v17 he explicitly distinguished between himself and God the father.

Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working."

then we see in v18 that the Jews wanted to stone him, not because he said he was GOD but the Son of GOD.

In v19 , Jesus further clarified his role as Son of GOD and even stated quite surprisingly that he can do nothing without the father, what does that tell you , that he is equal to GOD

Jesus gave them this answer: "I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.

Re: Is Jesus God? – Logical Questions That Need Answers by tidytim: 11:41pm On Oct 04, 2012
Why, we now understand that part of the 'mystery' that surrounds this doctrine as claimed by many, really is not a 'mystery'. I believe that this statement is only a beguiling of Christ and of God's Word by the 'satan' influence in our minds, somewhat as that of Eve in the Garden. In other situations that I have recorded, the statement is always made that it is a hard theology to grasp, but the clarity of the Word of God trumps this 'mystery' making the Love displayed by God shrouded in Mercy and Grace to His very creations that have rejected Him.

A good example of this is by the fact that we are more tolerant of our Brothers and Sisters who are still blinded by mans deception as opposed to being anathematized by them towards us who reject such a false teaching. We do not claim that they are "not saved" only misled. Whereas they will prominently claim non-trinitarians are not saved and are denying Christ and God the Father. There was an incident when this came up and I was vehemanantly told that if I did not believe in the trinity I was not saved, I asked the Preacher to show me evidence of this statement in Scripture and he could not, this is the logic: "Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold the CatholicFaith.

Which Faith except everyone do keep whole and undefiled, without doubt he shall perish everlastingly". Search the Scriptures and you will not find one Book, chapter or even one verse that supports this statement. Really-I challenge you. Many preachers today will claim that they are not in association to any catholic beliefs, but they speak the same that is Century's old.

Look at what you're doing. I didn't even say He is God. I simply quoted scripture, yet you ignored what scripture says and act as if I'm the one who said it. It was the Bible that said He claimed to be God, not me.

Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working."

then we see in v18 that the Jews wanted to stone him, not because he said he was GOD but the Son of GOD.

In v19 , Jesus further clarified his role as Son of GOD and even stated quite surprisingly that he can do nothing without the father, what does that tell you , that he is equal to GOD

Jesus gave them this answer: "I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.


frosbel:

he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.

just being curious.

When did Jesus saw his father working that he copied him?

Ihedinobi:

Ok. So you confirm you're a selective reader. No wonder then. Since you can't scroll up the page to see what I pointed out in your explanations, Professor Humble Truth-possessor, I'll reproduce it in my next post.

I'd like to see you make another excuse then.

So what you want Christ to do is to speak to John by Himself and say "God gave me a revelation to give to you John and I will express it by means my angels." before He introduce the revelation. Just like you think a minister will do, if not you will not believe Revelation1:1. That He was talking about Himself in verse8 and not actually presenting the Revelation given to Him by God.

So is this how to be a selective reader? You can also Link Rev1:1 to Hebrew1:1-2 and to so many places in the bible where Christ said that what He does is the will of the Father who sent Him. Am sorry brother, you can't dispute it.

Ok i now get it. You want me to reconcile Hebrew1:10-12 to the statement below it.

Heb1:
10 And: "You, LORD, in the
beginning laid the foundation
of the earth, And the heavens
are the work of Your hands.
11 They will perish, but You
remain; And they will all grow
old like a garment;
12 Like a cloak You will fold them
up, And they will be changed.
But You are the same, And Your
years will not fail."

"The word GOD does not
make Him greater than or equal
to the Father".

It is important to understand who verse10 is talking about. Read this:

Isa45:18
New International Version
(©1984)
For this is what the LORD
says--he who created the
heavens, he is God; he
who fashioned and made
the earth, he founded it;
he did not create it to be
empty, but formed it to
be inhabited--he says: "I
am the LORD, and there is
no other. Gen1:1 also.

Rev4:11
New International Version
(©1984)
"You are worthy, our Lord
and God, to receive glory
and honor and power, for
you created all things, and
by your will they were
created and have their
being."

Verse10 says 'You LORD....' It is obvious this is making reference to the Father. Because From the verses above and others, He created all things including the firstborn of His creation.

But when it comes to Christ being related with creation, the bible will say "...THROUGH whom all things were created".

So my statement is correct. Haven't you read where Christ said "the Father is greater than I". That is a 'thought for food' wink
