Who is the “us”?

This project grew out of a desire to share a sim­ple les­son I learned about the true meaning of the word GOD. During the process of studying com­mentaries, Hebrew-Greek word studies and history books, I realized that Truth is simple. Man has complicated what God meant to be sim­ple.

  I care about Trinitarians as Paul cared for the Jews. Paul had been a Jewish pharisee before he came to know who Jesus really was; I was a Trini­tarian. Paul had a bur­den for his people because Je­sus came for the Jew first and then the Gentile. I have a burden for Trinitarians be­cause they do not know who Jesus really is. Paul was outspo­ken against Judaizers that put the burden of Jewish law on the new Gentile Christians. If I appear outspo­ken, it is not my intention to offend; but I must run the risk of offending because the risk of silence is far greater. I believe that as a result of Trinitarian in­doctrination over the centuries and the activi­ties of the orthodox church to silence be­lievers opposed to the Trinity, that God’s Word has been distorted and the truth of Yehovah’s solitary nature has been undermined.

The Jews were the established people of God for over 4,000 years before the birth of Jesus. Their theology was endorsed by Jesus in John 4:22 and Mark 12:29. Yet, be­cause they rejected Jesus as Messiah, it has been deter­mined by the orthodox Christian church that their con­cept of God being an absolute one, alone in creation, is false.

Instead of understanding and accepting the basic truth (that there is one solitary GOD) Trinitarians have made fundamental errors in draw­ing their con­clusions. They have made assumptions about God pro­moted by a lack of un­derstanding, political pow­ers and popular opin­ion, rather than Biblical evi­dence. As a result of these as­sumptions, they ma­nipulate the texts of the Bible to corre­late with their interpretation instead of revising their interpreta­tion to correlate with the texts. Just be­cause something has been accepted by the masses for 1700 years does not make it right, accurate, or Biblical.

It is my belief that Trinitarians are God-loving people who are sin­cere in their desire to obey God’s Word. It is also my personal experi­ence to have known Trinitarians who believed that the absolute solitary nature of God is ac­curate and true; but they re­fused to adopt it person­ally be­cause their life would experience an upheaval.

That brings us back to the question asked at the beginning of this paper: Why is it so important? The Savior of the world cannot be known as he should if our concept of him is that he is one third of a God.  His sacrifice cannot be appreciated as it should be if we believe he came to suf­fer and die resulting from the initiative of one of the other mem­bers of the Godhead.  We cannot possess a full mea­sure of respect for the in­carnate second person of the Trin­ity who carried out the orders of the first person of the Trinity without possessing any knowledge of the to­tal out­come. God cannot be loved to the degree to which we are commanded when we do not comprehend that Almighty God, the Cre­ator, the first cause, decided from the foun­dation of the world to robe himself in flesh be­cause he wanted mankind to experience the riches of His eternal fellow­ship.  If God cannot be loved to the highest de­gree, we can­not love our fel­low man to a higher de­gree.

Last, but certainly not least, we cannot know God if we view Him to be a three-member corpora­tive body, when in actuality He is a solitary ONE Deity.  God is to be wor­shipped in spirit and truth (John 4:24). If our view of Him is totally inaccurate, how can that be accomplished?  The God of the Bible is a different God than the God of Trinitarian doctrine.  John 17:3 states:  And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. If God is not known as He really is, how can one re­ceive life eternal? Am I making a credal statement expressing that  anyone not be­lieving in God as a solitary one God will perish ever­lastingly?  I hope that believers of Jesus being Immanuel, God with us never become guilty of mak­ing the same mistake that their Trinitarian predeces­sors made.

Jesus commissioned us to go, preach, teach and bap­tize. Nothing was ever mentioned about judging; in fact we were commanded not to judge one an­other. Only Je­sus, God manifest in the flesh, has the abil­ity to know a man’s heart. Only Je­sus can grant mercy and render judgement appropriately. David un­derstood the danger of man’s judgement; that is why he sub­mitted him­self to the wrath of God when given the choice.

The orthodox Christian church has determined that I am a heretic and a member of a cult because of my beliefs concerning Jesus Christ being God in flesh. I have been accused of being involved in an organi­zation that believes we have revived a lost doctrine of the Bible. This doctrine of God living in Jesus as the one true God has never been dead, only persecuted, exiled, and temporarily silenced. We cannot read historical documentation of our heritage because it has been destroyed.  We do not even know their names in many cases.  We do know of Priscillian in 385, Michael Servetus in 1553, John Miller in 1876. The persecution by death and destruction has been restrained for now, and we cannot be silenced, we must not be silenced.

I left a Trinitarian church after I came to an under­standing of Who Jesus Really Is not be­cause I wanted to leave but because if I re­mained it meant either denying this wonderful truth by my si­lence or causing division by speaking out.  God loved enough to break the silence. Paul loved enough to over­come the silence. It is my burning desire to have someone, anyone, who presently is a Trinitarian, come to an understanding and acknowledgment that GOD (all Deity) was manifest in the flesh of Jesus Christ.  With that de­sire in mind, I must not be silent.
