| QUESTION |
Why was he and all the Jewish prophets
oneness? |
| ANSWER |
The first and greatest commandment of the
law, according to Jesus, demanded it. Mark 12:29 & 30 with Matthew 22:
36-38. |
| WHAT LAW? |
Deuteronomy 6: 4-9 Hear, O Israel, the LORD
our god is one LORD. They must believe in one god and love him
with all their heart, soul and might; their children must be taught this
at all times.
Read Scofields Footnotes under Deut. 6: 4-9. These scriptures in
Hebrew Liturgy are known as the SH'MAH, (pronounced shemah) |
|
Sh'mah |
The Apostles and authors of the New Testament, being Jewish, were
taught the SH'MAH from childhood on up. They could not possibly believe
in a trinity consisting of three separate and distinct persons. They
knew that Jesus Christ was God manifest in the flesh. 1 Timothy. 3:16
The International Encyclopedia, Vol. 16, pg 221 states that
the trinity did not form any part of the apostles' teaching.
Emil Brunner, considered the foremost scholar of the twentieth
century, said the idea of three separate persons is incredulous. He
said that would be Tri-theistic or Three Gods.

Isaiah - what saith thou?
|
|
Holy one |
1. Isaiah. 1:4 - Here Isaiah states that the LORD is the HOLY One of
Israel. In the New Testament Jesus is known as the Holy One of Israel.
This term is used over fifty times in the bible. Never once was the
term Holy Two or Holy Three ever used. Isn't that strange trinitarians?
|
|
Immanuel - god with us |
2. Isaiah. 7:14 - He says that a virgin would conceive and bring forth
a son and his name would be called Immanuel.
This was fulfilled in Matthew 1:23. When Christ was born "they shall
call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." Yes,
Jesus was God manifest in the flesh. 1 Timothy 3:16
|
|
mighty god (son) |
3. Isaiah 9:6 - Unto us a child is born and a son is given (Jesus). He
shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting
Father and Prince of Peace. Isaiah saw him as Immanuel, God with us and
now as the Mighty God and Everlasting Father.
No trinity here
|
|
one god & one saviour |
4. Isaiah 43: 10 & 11. - Vs 10: Ye are my witnesses saith the LORD,
that ye may know and believe me and understand that I am he: Before me
there was no god formed, neither shall there be after me.
Vs 11: I, even I, am the LORD and beside me there is no saviour. Yes,
Jesus Christ of the New Testament is the LORD Jehovah of the Old
Testament.
|
STRONGS, 3068 - the Jewish name of God is Jehovah, the LORD. When LORD
in the Old Testament is spelled with all capitals it means Jehovah. It
occurred 7,000 times.
STRONGS, 2962 - Kuros, in Greek - In the New Testament, when Lord is
spelled with a capital L, it always means Jehovah. It is used that way
800 times in the New Testament.
|
|
first and last |
| 5. Isaiah 44: 6 & 8 - Vs 6: I am the
first and the last and beside me there is no God. Vs 8: Is there a
God beside me? Yea, there is no God; I know not any.
Trinitarians know more than God. |
|
Only one creator |
6. Isaiah 44:24 Jehovah said, I am the LORD that Maketh all things;
that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad
the Earth by Myself.
|
Col 1:14-17 - for by him (Jesus) were all things created, that are in
Heaven and Earth. He is before all things and by Him all things exist.
What further proof do we need that Christ and God are One? Thank you
Isaiah and Paul for further confirmation on the oneness of God
Malachi 2:10 agrees with Isaiah that we have only one father and one
creator.
|
|
who is equal to god |
7. Isaiah 46:5 - To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and
compare me, that we may be like?
The Answer: Philippians 2:6 - Jesus, who being in the form of God,
(like him) thought it not robbery to be equal with God.
|
|
his holy arm |
8. Isaiah 52: 6 & 10: Vs 6: Isaiah prophesies concerning the day of
Christ. In that day they shall know his name. Vs. 10: "the Lord hath
made bare his holy arm and they shall see the salvation of our God
Isaiah 53:1 - To whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? This entire
chapter tells us that the arm of the LORD is Jesus. Read it carefully
and prayerfully.
|
|
The husband's bride |
9. Isaiah 54: 5 - Thy Maker is thine husband: the LORD of hosts is his
name, and they Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; the God of the whole
earth shall he be called.
The church is now the bride of Christ. What an honor to be the bride
of God of the whole earth. His name is Jesus. Are you ready for the
marriage supper of the lamb?
|
|
hated for his name's sake |
10. Isaiah 66:5 - Your brethren that hated you and cast you out for my
name's sake. He shall appear to your joy and they shall be ashamed.
Mark 13:13 - Jesus said, "Ye shall be hated of all men for my name's
sake."
Many times we who baptize in Jesus name have been refused fellowship
by our Trinitarian brothers and vilified openly. We want them to know
that we will always love them.
